Although clubimate does have many issues due to which you can fairly conclude that their support sucks, your problem however does not seem to be an issue with imate but rather with Qtek.

cubimate is for people who have bought an Imate branded device and you clearly have not. So you should be looking for a clubQtek (if one exists)... and if there is none then its the Qtek people you should be complaining to.

funny... i drive a nissan, and it broke down. toyota sucks!
[JAM, MDA Compact, S100 General] pelle68:
Hmmm. Since when is Toyota and Nissan the same???

The difference between i-mate jam and the qtek s100, is mostley cosmetic, they are made in the same factory, it´s the same on the the inside, Atleast that´s what the Swedish manufactur said.

The biggest difference is the text on the outside.

Imate and Qtek buy the magician from HTC and rebrand it. Since they sell independently and are rivals, Imate has no business serving Qtek customers.
[JAM, MDA Compact, S100 General] Mythozz:
Ι understand what you say, but think about I-mate. Why allow you to enter in their forum, get their know how, their info, their applications, their firmware... when you haven't paid them for buying the S100???

It's all about branding... I also have a Qtek 2020, which is the MDA II... I cannot enter in the i-mate forum like you...

Don't bother though there is nothing important to find there... The firmware updates cannot be loaded to your S100. You can download them from an official Qtek website... We in Greece have one: www.qtek.gr
[JAM, MDA Compact, S100 General] snorlax:
No, the difference is also in the content of the Extended ROM. For the Hardware, it is HTC that you can contact...

If you have a PC running Windows, you can't say that unix sucks, right ?
[JAM, MDA Compact, S100 General] Looking Glass:
Fairiness in bussiness

You are all right!

I've learn the hard way that Qtek IS NOT iMate. I ordered an XDA-II from Expansys, that was out-of-stock and re-routed to be iMate, that ended up being a Qtek 2020, the price difference was even in my favour, Right?

W-R-O-N-G!!!

Qtek is almost a fake brand, (at least for my WWE version): No web page, no support, no upgrades, no forum, no----- NOTHING!

More than a year later, I gave up trying to get BT Handsfree support for my Qtek 2020, and get BT syncing at same time, so I ordered an iMate JAM from Expansys, Guess what? I just received a call from Expansys, offering me to switch to a Qtek S100!

I REFUSED!

I prefer to wait two more weeks rather than feel myself again in the wild, with no one "official" to help (Thanks ONLY to XDA developers and you guys here)

Conclussions:

HTC really sucks, since they are the ones who know how "hadicapped" their devices are, and provide no help.

Qtek sucks too, since they are making money for branding the devices and letting them unsupported.

Expansys sucks a bit too, though just for being un-informative and not advising their custommers that "manufacturing" is part of the thing, but "support is paramount" when you are talking about really new tech products that are going to need a lot of tweaking.

iMate might have their share too, but obviously not for my choosing of my Qtek 2020.

And iMate is even cheaper!

Any chance you could tell us what is new in the firmware available on http://www.qtek.gr/s100_firmware.html?

It seems to be of a later version than that of my swedish Qtek, and I would very much like to know what is in the update so I know if I should bother calling Brightpoint and ask them to put it on their web site.

Thanks!

Qtek S100 Firmware Update

ATTENTION! WITH THE UPGRADE ARE EXTINGUISHED THE DATA OF YOUR APPLIANCE! CONTACTS, PROGRAMS, SOUNDS OF CALL, PICTURES, VIDEO THAT CAN EXIST IN YOUR APPLIANCE, WILL ERASE!

Who can use Greek?

The Greek publication has been manufactured by the Ace-Hellas. The Greek publication is been disposed only for appliances that have been bought from the Ace-Hellas or her network of resellers.

What it needs I am careful?

The Qtek fortj'zej when becomes the upgrade. It should you attend it is completely fortjsme'no front you begin the upgrade.

That does become the upgrade firmware?

Attend to have passed the Activesync and exists communication with the computer. It is proposed you use some computer with Windows 2000 or Windows XP. Terminate any program you have open! Afterwards simply you execute the file that you lowered/you will lower and you follow the directives in your screen. If you face problem with the upgrade you try in some other computer. When it finishes the upgrade it will be supposed you realise hard-reset (the photograph in the end of upgrade in your computer, you shows how him makes).

I began the upgrade and in the middle to me it was cut the current and extinguished the computer (or more simply failed the upgrade).

Do not worry. The Qtek has his bootloader therefore it will be supposed after a reset you see white screen (the screen is not litted up therefore sees carefully from near distance) and is entered Serial.

1. You remove the Qtek from the base. Remove the battery for 30 seconds and xanatopoceti'ste.

2. You begin your computer regularly

3. You activate the Qtek and place in the base. The clue Serial should change in USB.

4. You execute again the upgrade.

I began the upgrade for 2nd time but failed again.

Try in some other computer. Try in computer with Windows 2000 or XP. The upgrade does not probably work rightly in Windows 95,98,ME. Also a other factor are the problematic USB Controllers (eg VIA)

Exist some does background for what it changed in the new publication?

We unfortunately do not have the changes that realises the Qtek. It follows however background for Greek:

1.1.1 (03/02/05)

- With publication 1.06 is corrected the problem with the MMS in the network of Cosmote. - Correction of orthographic errors and other errors in fo'rmes.

- Automatic regulations GPRS Internet/MMS and on the 4 networks of mobile telephony. In the Q-Telecom exists only service MMS. Attention! It should you have activated your services from pa'roho'!

- Choice permanent report in the SMS. Can activate the possibility in each new SMS is preselected the report. This him you will find in the Regulations in the choice for Language.

1.0.0 - Initial Publication (20/12/04)

You mean Nissan and Toyota aren't the same? They're both transportation devices, aren't they?

Same goes for Qtek branded phones & I-Mate branded phones. The guy who started this thread is pissed because he owns a Qtek branded phone, yet can't log into the I-Mate website to get support for it? Come on.
[JAM, MDA Compact, S100 General] bamse:
Toyota and Nissan are by far more different from eachother than the Qtek and iMate.

If you need to use cars for your example you might want to go for something like the Opel Agila and Suzuki Wagon R. Built by the same company, looks identical, but marketed by different companies.

Quick questions - I just flashed the updated VRBMF1 modem but still have the VRBMD3 build from the last OTA so Verizon is gonna keep nagging me to get the update until I flash the VRBMF1 bootchain or go with something like this correct?

To do this I would need to go in and wipe everything and start fresh correct???

What advantages besides a fresh install does this have over just flashing the bootchain?

Thanks!
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] cybertec69:
I did the same thing, and got the same message, and yes Verizon will keep nagging you for the update. You will need to do a fresh install of the new ROM, soon coming from Beans. You can do a backup of the Stock VRBMB1 ROM, that what I did using TWRP, just in case the new build has issues, you can just go back to the last stock ROM. Yes a fresh install would be recommended, wipe data, casch, devlick casch, system, then flash new ROM, you can use Titanium backup to backup your apps with their data.

If the bootloader needs to be unlocked to load this, after it's done do we relock the bootloader? Thinking of EZ Bootloader?

[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] andybones:
You keep the bootloader unlocked for the remainder of you being rooted.

so, basically once you unlock it, go ahead and remove EZ unlock.apk as you don't need it. :)

[T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII] cognus:
hi friends this is my first post in GS3 world. We live in a rural area and are dependent on good WIFI service - I do tech work so the WIFI in the hacienda is very robust. All our other many devices love the WIFI rig: 2 ipad mins, one Galaxy Note 1, another older Galaxy, two laptops, one HTPC, etc. Only the new-to-me GS3 has issues with it. The visual indicator on the handset seems to not give an accurate picture, so we keep going into settings and seeing what is reported there... "Strong" signal is usually what displays, but in use, sending messages, making wifi calls, whatever, the results are pretty bad. We're using the stock messaging [google] app and stock T-Mobile WIFI calling app.

I want to say that web browsing is a little better, but can't really give details.

ROM etc:

android 4.1.2

baseband T999UVDMD5

Kernel 3.0.31-1128078

build JZ054K.T999UVDMD5

searching around the web I see a lot of the same complaints but really lousy diagnosis and lousier fixes [turn off 'data'; reboot the handset; call T-mobile... that sort of 'fix']

What is the scoop? Is there an internal WIFI antenna connection inside that needs to be checked?

Is there some elusive patch from Samsung?

Is the rig Channel-sensitive? [some older handsets only liked channel 11, or others only channel 6, etc.]

pls point me to the definitive thread if there is one...

thanks in advance
[T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII] DocHoliday77:
I'm not sure of any threads with much information on this. I don't recall seeing very many WiFi issues at all with the S3.

Are you rooted? Custom ROM?

If so you may want to try some of the other modems/baseband. Link in my Sig.

Otherwise, maybe try Odin flashing the UVDLJC or LJA firmware.

You say it's new to you, so I'm assuming you got it used. Do you know who you bought it from and did they report any problems?

How does it perform on other WiFi networks?
[T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII] Aerowinder:
Yep, flash stock or root66 firmware of choice. We will go from there.
[T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII] cognus:
its all stock now.

are you saying to go ahead and nuke, reinstall stock ROM?

I don't have the option of going down Root66 - we are utterly dependent on WIFI Calling.

Is there a way to stop scanning selectively? that is, when I am on my own AP, there's no point in constantly scanning - there are other very weak wifi AP's in the vicinity and I"m wondering if somehow that causes an issue? my Note 1 is rock-solid. I don't recall a single drop with it in the 6 months I've had it. Most disconcerting is when WIFI calling drops - I've been using T-mobile devices for years and only once did I have one for which WIFI calling would disconnect, restart, and reappear like this. It will drop out, then refind its WIFI connection, then you get the "WIFI is Ready" all over again, just like you do when Rebooting the phone.
[T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII] Aerowinder:
Yes, nuke everything. That's the only way we can rule out modified/mismatched firmware as a cause.

root66 is stock firmware with root injected into the system image. So wifi calling will still be there. It's just whether or not you want root.

Also wipe data/factory reset. If using stock recovery, this WILL wipe your internal SD. Backup your user apps with TiBu/RTB, and your internal SD card. Do not backup system apps.

You can adjust scanning frequency with build.prop modifications, but I personally use Tasker to control when it's on and off.
[T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII] cognus:
ahh. my fault.

ok, we'll get on it tonight and report back when squeaky clean.
[T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII] cognus:
please; need a little guidance

Friends, I successfully nuked the GS3, flashed with Root66, got everything working really well but the WIFI issues resurfaced.

Does the GS3 just have a really weak radio?

Compared to even the most humble Galaxy S4G [old and tired], its WIFI performance is not impressive.

Compared to my personal Galaxy Note 1 running more/less stock ICS, its awful ... annoying, unreliable, glitch.

WHY?

My suspicion is that it has trouble switching/credentialing/authenticating from one physical router/AP to another. In our wifi lan setup we have a common AP composed of 2 routers of different chipsets/mftr. Works dandy on ipads, iphones, windows 8, windows 8.1, my Note 1, older/retired/sold androids, etc. The Galaxy S3 is pretty much alone at having trouble when the physical signal of one gets weak and the second one is available - it seems to fumble the ball. Thus, you try to make/receive/talk wifi Call, and get random drops, retries, reload of the WIFI Calling APP.

is there a fix?

Set static channel?

Set static IP [instead of DHCP/select] ?
[T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII] DocHoliday77:
Grab inSSIDer from the play store, it'll show you if you are on the best wifi channel for your network.

Try turning off some of your other devices wifi connections. May be that the router isn't handling them all at once very well.

Do you have anything that operates on the Wireless-G standard? If so shut it down. Itll only severely degrade the entire networks performance.

You need to be rooted for this, but try the LJC and LJA modems, others too if your up for it.

Does it exhibit the same problems on other wifi networks?
[T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII] cognus:
Thank you for helping!

OK - Let me ask a question [it is rooted - root66 per above, busybox, SU, etc]:

I've used InSSIDer before and moved channels here and there and what I noticed is that the way inSSIDer deals with signal data display, whatever channel you pick, it will show one of the other channels as being "better". switch to that channel, and it will show some other channels to be better, etc round and round we go. maybe I'm not using it right...

as to G-only devices I'll give that a shot - I think one of my windows units may be all G. easy fix.

To me it seems clear: the places where the GS3 goes ambiguous and fails to maintain a connection is where the two AP signals [again, one AP,one login, one authentication type, but 2 physical] are pretty evenly matched, per how WIFI Analyzer displays the data. If I shut off the tertiary router, it will just drop signal when you move a tad too far away which is what one would expect, but the GS3's "reach" is the worst of the lot. I'm hoping somebody has figured out how to get hold of that radio and boost the signal.

I don't have a feel for how it does otherwise - we are dependent on WIFI calling at home/office - when out and about its the usual drill... sit in the right spot at the restaurant and you're good.

Those modems you suggest: do they support T-mo WIFI calling APP ?
[T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII] DocHoliday77:
As or inssider, or any similar app, I don't go by what it says is the best channel. I simply look for the channel that has the fewest networks overlapping it. It probably tells you a different one us best each time because its taking into account that there is now another network on the previously recommended channel, yours.

If you have a single G device on an N network, it'll slow the entire network down to wireless-g speeds. So yeah, shut down that machine and ill bet you see improvements across the board. (You may need to reboot the network and other devices)

If you have one router and one AP but both with the same ssid and pw that may be causing your problems. With this type setup there's no way to really be sure which you're connected to. You may connect when close to one, but when you move away from it and closer to the second, it won't connect to the closer/stronger one automatically. Even if you turn it off then on again, it may still connect to the first if the signal is strong enough, even though there may be a stronger one available.

Try having it connect to the ap using different credentials and then you should have greater control over which you're using at a given time.

Allthe modems should function properly with everything they are supposed to, so yes they'll all work for wifi calling. I was looking into a way to adjust the Tx power for wifi a long time ago. Ill see if I can find what I was doing and try again. If you use a 3rd party router firmware (dd-wrt or tomato), you can adjust Tx power on the router itself if I remember correctly.
[T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII] cognus:
in reverse order:

- as to to the wifi device power/range I was speaking of the phone/handset, not the router. But since you mentioned: I have not found an N or beyond router that has GOOD open source; open-wrt, dd-wrt, tomato et al - if you really read carefully what the feedback is, a lot of them suffer bad speed degradation. the old wrt54gl's would run full-tilt G speeds, over a wide range, and last for many years, but I have not found the equivalent in any other device running or capable of running one of the good [or formerly good] open-source codebase

- Are you sure about that client-bridging common-ssid/pw/encryption? the whole point of such firmware is to make the transition seamless and it is for every device

except

the GS3: two ipad's, one Galaxy S4G [999v], one Galaxy note T879 [debloated stock ics], two HP workstations, three laptops - gateway, thinkpad, hp Envy - not one of those devices gags when switching router signals. only the GS3. with the other devices, you literally forget that you've got multiple routers

The GS3 code has multiple network notifications also that the other two Galaxy's do not: it interrupts your blasted work to INFORM you that you're signal is dropping [how dumb is that?] - then it informs you that you've been disconnected, and informs you that you're "not registered on the network", then it informs you that it is logging in again, then it informs you that WIFI Calling App is ready for use as though it was the first time you used it.

- I will give the modems a whirl. I'll stash a full nandroid and try them out - If any of you happen to have a link to the 'how to' steps pls pass on as it will save me a lot of careful reading.

oh, and I was wrong about G-device; i replaced that one with an N device. Frankly, G speed is way fast enough. my internet connection is only 20Mbps so if I had the old WRT rigs back and up/running it would be PLENTY fast. Mixing

B

with G... now that was a real problem - there you were talking about effectively 1 to 5 Mbps
