[T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII] DocHoliday77:
I havent used any 3rd party firmwares for my networks in a long time. I was assuming that for the Wireless-N routers, they would have come a long way and solved a lot of their issues by now. My mistake.

I am sure about the router/ap setup. (Is your second set up as an Access Point or Repeater? Either way the same issues can still present themselves) I refer you to the following website for information on this and a little bit to back up my claim. It may be worded better or easier to understand than me, but either way its good info.

http://www.smallnetbuilder.com/wire...w-to-add-an-access-point-to-a-wireless-router

Step 3 is where this is touched on.

I have to be honest that I am skeptical that your other devices are transitioning over to the AP. (im guessing they are ALWAYS connecting to the AP) Unless their radios are actually much weaker than the GS3's. In fact, what I suspect at this point is that your GS3 is trying to connect directly to your router all the time, while your other devices are connecting to one or the other, all of the time. This is one of the draw backs to using the same SSID, it is difficult to tell which you are actually connecting to.

Read over that linked page. Let me know what you think.
[T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII] cognus:
Will do. thanks for that.

if your theory is right, on any one of the frequent auto-disconnect cycles, you're saying that the GS3 will connect to which? the stronger one? any idea how the firmware is setup to pick a winner?

Also, webbing around for answers [there are a LOT of threads on this issue as it turns out], there's a good deal of discussion about 5ghz vs 2.4ghz bands, and that samsung/t-mo have changed how the firmware handles transitions [or connect/disconnect] to one or the other. i.e. https://support.t-mobile.com/thread/37707?start=0&tstart=0

I can set my routers to one or the other if that would help - Any ideas if one is preferable?

Ever heard of GS3 being "channel sensitive"? I have not. Early WIFI/WIFI-Calling capable models from several mftrs were quite channel-nitpicky.

I could easily check that transition [seamless dropping of one, connecting to another] if there was a way to verify the MAC of the connected ap. know of such? I can't find much in the way of advanced settings but I have not a guide to the keyboard/manual settings methods for this build 4.1.2.
[T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII] cognus:
read the article but see no discussion of your point.

pick the right link?

the setup I'm using is simple wireless bridging - no physical medium between the twain. subordinate router has the mac address, encryption type, ssid, credentials and channel setting of the boss. reboot and done.

pretty much the same type of bridging as with DD-WRT [though it has a lot more options... more confusing]
[T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII] nataku199:
I really think that the GS3 modems aren't that good, especially when it comes to wifi calling. My family and I haven been having some bad signal problems as of late so we've been relying on wifi calling to make calls. I had a lot of dropped calls in the past but I knew that had a lot to do with the old modem/router setup I was using. I would lose internet connection not matter what I was on. The internet would just drop and then reconnect, very frustrating if you were on a call or playing Xbox live. so last week I hooked up a new Comcast modem with wifi. The drops stopped but I still have to literally be standing right next to the modem if I wanted to make sure I didn't lose a call. If I walked into the kitchen, which is 15ft away, I'd get the little beep that warns that I'm about to lose the wifi signal. I know my signal that's coming from the router is good because all my devices, including the phone says so. Hell, the kids across the street asked if they could have the password because their internet was shut off and my signal is strong over there.

I don't have anything technical to support what I say, just experience but that experience tells me that Tmobile's wifi calling doesn't work that well unless your within 3 ft of the router.
[T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII] DocHoliday77:
Accorfong to my research it'll try to always connect to the first one it connected to. Even if the signal is stronger on another. That's the main point I was linking to that article for.

As for which band to choose, 2.4 is usually best. 5.0 is faster, but with a shorter range and more susceptible to interference.

tmob removed the option as you can manually select which you prefer. There is an apl I include with all my roms though that'll give this option back. Let me know if you want the link, though I doubt it'll help ypur particular problem.

Ok, so its more of a repeater setup. The routers are not connected to each other via Ethernet or powerline?

Step 3 of that article is what I wanted you to read. Its on the 2nd page. (Though I do suggest reading the whole of both pages)

Make sure you don't have a bottleneck somewhere on your network. (Such as a misconfigured router, a docsis 1.0 cable modem, etc.) Or as I stated before, if you have a wireless g device active on your network, it'll force the whole network to degrade to wireless g speeds. Also use inssider to check if you are on the best channel. And check for any points of interference. (Microwaves, cordless phones, power hungry appliances, etc)

If your cell signal went south recently, it may be due to the work tmobile has been doing. What worked best before, may not anymore. Try out the many other available modems to see if it improves.

---------- Post added at 05:08 PM ---------- Previous post was at 05:06 PM ----------

Thos is a copy/paste of the text I was referring to.

(Starting under step 3)

But most wireless clients are very "sticky" and tend to stay associated to the first AP they encounter,*even when APs with stronger signals are available. So I recommend setting a*different SSID*for the AP, so that you can manually control connection.The other advantage of setting a different SSID for the AP is that you'll be able to see both the AP and your main wireless router if you're using the Wireless Zero Configuration utility that is built into Windows. Even in Vista, Microsoft has stubbornly chosen to not show multiple wireless networks that use the same Network Name / SSID.

4) Set the AP channel

One large network practice that you*do*want to follow is to set the AP to a different channel than the main wireless router. In the U.S. you should use only the non-overlapping channels*1, 6 and 11. So if your main wireless router is set to channel 6, set the AP to either 1 or 11.You should probably do a quick site-survey first (see this HowTo), to make sure that you aren't setting the AP channel to one used by a neighbor's network. If you can't find a completely clear channel, choose the*weakest*neighboring network and set the AP to its channel.

I have problem 2 days ago that i have installed some patch from the XDA forum Named stats bar like S4

and then my phone now dot open loading and keep loading on the CM Logo and do nothing more i tried to re-Flash the ROM but it didn't work

Every time my Odin keep crashing and i don't have Memory Card

so what can i do i searched so many for solutions but no thing works so do you know any way to this? i have no other phones :/

thanks in Advance

Haitham:crying:​
[Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] jabrif:
Don't worry.. I think you are in a boot loop (It happens usually around here ;). I am using i9001. So i cannot tell you the exact solution of i9000 (A specific search would help). Anyways, the common solution is to flash a fresh rom via recovery. If it not helps then try to flash a stock rom via odin. Odin related problems have been discussed many times. just look for it. Above all don't lose hope and be patient..:good:
[Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] compacity:
what fone please i9000? /1/3/m or anycall?

n odin crashing in stage what? pit mapping? installing param.lfs?

n try formatting system by mounting system first, n find other custom ROM to flash via cwm.

u can mount internal sd by mounting sdcard or sdext first n choose mount usb storage in cwm

n if u still can boot to download mode, find some latest samsung usb driver n install, n if odin doesnt recognize ur fone, use other usb port

but still, please give more option on ur fone version, build number if any n etc that necessary as i cant juz give any guide if ur using other than i9000

[Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] jabrif:
I guess you bricked your device. See this http://xdaforums.com/wiki/Samsung_Galaxy_S/GT-I9001 a method is briefed there 'Un-brick the device'. Go through that

After that access the recovery(method to do so also explained in there). And then flash a new custom rom properly.
[Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] .NetDeveloper:

do you recommend me which Good one you know its Effective and good?

and how i flash ROM in Odin because i have no memory card
[Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] jabrif:
All ROMs are good. It depends your taste and experience. Custom ROMs can't be flashed via odin. If you have a rom zip file in your internal sd card, you can do the flashing. If not, Flash a stock rom via odin first. Then copy the custom rom zip file to the internal sd card. Switch off the phone. Boot in to recovery as explained earlier. Flash the rom selecting the copied zip. Before that don't forget to wipe data, wipe cache and dalvic cache.

[Xperia Tablet Z General] more2come:
Before getting a Xperia Tablet Z, I read some reviews and saw some comparison videos of the device and stumbled upon an issue. Some of the reviewers mentioned very poor WiFi performance, others were quite happy with it. Got mine today, connected it to my WLAN and was very surprised, how slow the overall download speed was. Didn't find a real solution to this on the web, so I tinkered around with my router (DLink). WiFi channel selection was set to automatic detection, my other devices (Acer notebook and HTC One) worked very well and very speedy with those settings, but the Tablet Z seems not to like this particular configuration! So I set the WiFi channel to 9 and the WLAN standard to b/g/n mixed mode. Reboot, reconnect, happy me! I've got 64 MBit/s available and the Z was able to get around 800 kb/s before, with my new settings the speed ramped up to 20 MBit/s !

I hope this helps some of you Tablet Z users out there! :good:
[Xperia Tablet Z General] davo.arto:
In my case, i was getting bad wifi signal in my room (the wifi router is on the living room) with my tablet Z, even with signal drops, although my laptop and smartphone were getting good signal at the same place.

After flashing official CM10.1, the sony tablet is getting as good wifi signal as the other devices.

I had a lot of issues with the wifi when I used the 4.1.1 stock firmware. After 4.2.2 the wifi behaved better. Setting the advanced wifi settings for keeping the wifi on during sleep to always fixed my wifi dropouts. This did not affect my battery life either.

This is SO STUPID! Why doesn't the QTEK 9090 have a separate hard reset button like the XDA 1, which you can only use when you unscrew the stylus first. What were they thinking? Stupid, really really REALLY stupid!
