[Asus Transformer TF700] fsured:
Could it be a YouTube server issue and not really your tablet? I'm was still running the .25 firmware and noticed about 3 weeks ago the playback of video clips was very rough. The problem was the video stopped loading and creating the buffer for smooth playback. It would load 20-30 seconds, then stop, and start back up. It lasted a few days and then was fine again. Nothing had changed in my set up.

Is your phone connected to the same wifi to test loading the same clips? How about testing the same clips from your computer or on your phone but using the cellular network? I'm just trying to toss some ideas for other possibilities for the youtube issue. How has the tablet performed for other tasks?
[Asus Transformer TF700] iPReCuRSoR:
No it's not YouTube cause even my browser is very slow. I've try with the apps speedtest and the result is awfull.

Update: I've just try the wifi optimisation trick by unchecking the box, deconnecting and reconnecting to my wifi and the wifi performance is back. :) thanks you all.

Hey guys, Im in need of some help with My wifi hotspot. IM on u.s. Cellular with a galaxy s2 sch-r760 running 4.0.4 ics. I don't have that wifi hotspot feature from the company activated because I feel like it is an insane amount of money for internet. Anyways I've rooted My phone and downloaded root explorer. I deleted the com.synchronoss.me file and restarted my phone, yet my wifi hotspot still won't work. Any help?

Not sure if your talking about 4.2 which is to my knowledge only with cm 10 or liquidsmooth or aokp most likely or 4.1.2 md4 either case download the appropriate file of your choice and flash from recovery do make sure backup amyways hope that answers your question
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] jhill110:
I think you mean update to 4.1.2. Check your version in settings about device. If it's 4.1.1 go here :

[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] Overstew:
If you're going to any AOSP rom, be sure to update your recovery to the latest!

Also - Create a 0 folder in the root of your internal storage and move all of your files into /sdcard/0 (and I mean everything, files, folders, etc.) When you boot into latest recovery, it'll treat the sdcard/0 as your sdcard root folder. Once you flash an AOSP based rom, it will always use sdcard/0 as the root so if you create the 0 folder prior to flashing, you'll have all of your internal memory accessible.

Apparently you can avoid this by updating your recovery....the emulated 0 folder, I mean

I'm running stock rom that I rooted... The phone version as of now is 4.1.2... as of 1 week I recieved an over the air update from sprint. I was thinking its 4.2 something maybe? maybe I wrong. I was wondering how could I get that update to install? Would i have to un-root then re-root?

Thanks!
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] topherk:
Hey six3onei,

I'm assuming you just got the notification for the OTA (Over-The-Air) update. The newest version of the Stock Rom is MD4 which is still 4.1.2. Android version 4.2.x probably won't come out for your phone for a couple of months (that's my guess with no data to back it up other than my own intuition).

As far as upadating, you actually don't have to apply the OTA to get the latest and greatest for our phone. All you have to do is flash

Freeza's Stock Rooted Rom

(You'll want the DeOdex MD4 Rom). It'll give you the most up-to-date Stock Rom with Root. I've

linked and quoted

a previous post I made which will give you directions to flash it. Also,

CNexus has done a great guide about OTAs

over in the general sub-forum. I suggest giving that a look-through.

Also, just a note on the flashing sequence below: In step 4 below, if you're coming from a stock Rom and you're going to a stock Rom, all you have to do is wipe Cache and Dalvik Cache. If you're going to a different Rom, it's best to do a full wipe (in my opinion).

The rom you want to download off of Freeza's page is:

One more: I have 0% battery, too

I'm on suave v6 kernel
[Sony Ericsson Xperia Neo, Pro] avinashrocks1990:
as you said you wiped your battery stats

so your there is not sufficient battery stat data

[Galaxy Tab 7.7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] :
Hi all,

I recently purchased a Galaxy 7.7 (GT-6810) tab but have noticed something unusual when scrolling in portrait mode. Whenever I scroll up or down a web page for example, the text and page will just slant and bend. When scrolling in all sorts of directions everything just seems to bend and there is some kind of wave effect if that makes any sense. As the begins to stop it appears to even itself out and becomes level. This seems to happen in some other applications aswell.

Has anyone else encountered this problem? Sorry if this has been answered before. Thanks for any thoughts.

[Nexus 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] shotta35:
You "using" the app doesn't count until the APP is actually doing something such as sending/receiving data. That of-course takes milliseconds so at the end of the day with 2hrs of "use" it will show maybe 10mins of CPU time because that's all it used.

The rest of the time the APP is sitting there idle with the "Screen" being used since it's on and displaying information in whatsapp or whatever you have open.

[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] dfinnegan:
I've run into trouble trying to install CM on my sgs3 vzw phone.

I flashed aboot.mbn, boot.img, and recovery-clockwork-6.0.3.1-d2vzw.img via heimdall v1.4 RC2 on ubuntu 12.10-64bit (used 32bit heimdal as 64bit did not execute).

Phone rebooted between each flash; not sure if that should have been expected, or not.

On the last reboot I saw "recovery booting..." in small blue text at top of screen with "Samsung", unlocked icon, and "custom".

Then the phone tried to reboot showing Samsung Galaxy S III flash screen, went blank, played the music tones like it was booting normally, but then hung showing the blue dot flashing and a blank screen.

I can get back to the download mode, but when I try to boot into recovery it repeats the above process.

Can anyone help?

Hi guys! I just got my galaxy s4 yesterday. I rooted it, and I got wifi tether on the device.

Can anyone help me? Thank you!

Maybe it's a carrier thingy, my friend's iPhone 5 can't enable hotspot... Anyway check if you have correct APN.

[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S 4] Omessy7:
The first is my 3G config.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S 4] KillaHurtz:
Changing the APN (Access Point Name) won't make tethering "work". There are strings in the framework that need to be modified for it to work without getting cut off. Believe me I know, I had the fix in my ROM for the Note 2. The guy above is posting from outside the USA/T-Mobile with an Xperia lol.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S 4] sungm64:
Ohhh okay. So no way until someone makes a rom that can breai away from tmobile stuff?
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S 4] gaww:
I had used APN backup & restore on both S3 and Note 2. Hopefully, its dev will be able to setup an APN that will work with the S$.

Note - it will only work on 3/4 G, so you would loose LTE after restoring modified tethering APN, so you would have to backup the LTE APN and then restore it when you want to go back to using LTE.

Same problem without rooting

Guys,

I just bought the At&t version of S4, got an unlock code for Sim and put in the nano T-mobile sim, all was good, got 4G internet from T-mobile and made calls. Tried to turn on my hotspot feature from the phone itself because T-mobile hotspot is free up to a limit.

Was not able to turn it on, it kept going to the off position with the error "MOBILE DATA IS NOT AVAILABLE OR INVALID SIM".

Of course I had my wifi connection off and had 4G connection from T-mobile. Got off with t-mobile customer service and got their APN settings, was nothing to change.

Yet my own samsung hotspot feature doesn't turn on. I think samsung has turned off this feature in US versions of S4, so even if you root, you wouldn't be able to get hotspot on.

At least that is my two sense on this matter. IF any body knows how to rectify this issue, please help.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S 4] KillaHurtz:
It's saying invalid, because the strings in the framework point to an AT&T APN. Once again.....the strings will need to be changed for this to work.

I know that this method works with any plan, because I had the android preferred (5gb no tethering for $20) and now have the truly unlimited; and the method I speak of works on both.

As far as i understand (a bit i guess...) modding your framework and doing fancy stuff on your phone with root and such won't help. T Mobile sniffs pages on their side! Proof? Well Nexus doesn't come with any kind of protection for hotspot but they still detect it nice and easy...

VPN is prolly the only thing that'll get it to work, and free vpn's suck.

I spent a long time and tried everything to get the Wifi Tether for Root app to work. I tried 3 different versions including the most recent experimental (as of Aug 8 2013). I always got "Tethering started with errors. Please check log" error and there was no log to check.

From the play store I paid $1.95 and downloaded the app "Wifi Tether Router" by Fabio Grasso. https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=net.snclab.wifitetherrouter

it works perfectly!

I am also using the Private Internet Access android app and with the two together did not get any warnings.

You can try this app from the playstore:

Safari on my macbook is the only one that works. But I would like to boot to my windows and us3 tether... changed sim to my s3 and it does not work either when it used to work... I think it may have something to do with the new sim that the s4 came with.. idk. Why with my old sim it worked on the s3 and not with this new one... I need tether bad. I had tried Alpha rom as well using the tethering apns and it didnt work.

[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S 4] hypersonicx:
Has anyone here using the wifi tether hotspot on this phone been able to get full data speeds on the computer end?

I noticed, when I tether another android device or mobile device, I get full LTE speeds to that device, BUT when I tether to my Windows Computer, the speeds are capped to about less then 1mbps.

Has anyone been able to get full LTE speeds tetherd to there computer?

Im currently on unlmited TMobile plan. I have 500MB of tethering data so the hotspot does in fact work, its just that my data speeds on my PC end are very slow compared to mobile devices. I have tetherd more then 500mb of data so the built in hotspot hack is in fact working just my speeds to pc are slow.

Even speedtest done on my phone itself hit more then 10mbps but like I said when I tether to my PC speeds are capped to 1mbps.
