[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] robg37:
Unfortunately, I don't have a solid answer. But based on my experience and your response, I'm guessing there's some sort of issue with the 4.1.2 update that screws up how the location is reported. I've seen GS2's in stores that have 2.3.6, and they seem to work fine (although I obviously can't run off with one to test it). Plus, if this issue had been present when the phone was first released, I figure it would be much better documented. The problem now is:

There are 2 newer generations of Galaxy S out. Most people buying new phones are going to choose one of the newer 2.

Of those already owning this phone, many won't have updated them to 4.1.2.

Of those who have updated or recently purchased a GS2 that's already running 4.1.2, many won't ever make use of the location functionality.

Out of those who have noticed this issue, I'm sure there are a decent amount who are eligible for new phones soon and just decide to deal with it for a short time.

Out of those who still have a while on the contract, many will likely never get around to doing anything about this issue.

So there are probably a very small number of people who have a GS2 running Android 4.1.2 and who have noticed this issue and want to do something about it. If this issue is specific to the C Spire phones (or C Spire and a few smaller carriers), that further limits the number.

I don't know the details on how a carrier and a manufacturer work together on a version of Android for a particular phone, so assuming there's a real problem (which obviously isn't hardware), I don't know how it could be fixed. Also, I don't know how much effort Samsung and any wireless carriers who carry this troubled phone are going to put forth, given that this phone is probably considered to be in its "end of life" stage.

Samsung also gave me the option of sending the phone in, but I'd be without my phone (unless I got a loaner phone) for 2 weeks or so, and I don't know if I'd be expected to pay shipping to get it there.

I figure the best option would be to see if C Spire would allow you to trade the phone for a different model. It's not ideal, since you'd either have to move to a different brand or move up to a 4G plan (if you're in a situation like mine where you have an older plan that you can keep as long as you have a 3G phone). But I'd say at least talk to someone at a store and see what they might offer. And please let me know how it goes, if you decide to do that. Best of luck!
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] robg37:
Another thought: You could have the phone reverted to Android 2.3.6. Again not ideal, but I figure it would fix the issue. I don't know if there's any official way for this to be done, but I'm sure a way could be found.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] EdwardUong:
At some points in your life, one of your Android devices connect to a wifi router, but can't connect to the internet. However, your computer, laptop or iPad will connect to that same wifi and use the internet just fine. I've looked everywhere on the internet for solutions, some of them are:

+ Turn off and on both modem and wifi router

+ Factory reset wifi router

+ Battery pull your phone, wait 30s and put it back

+ Reflash stock or custom ROM

+ Change DHCP IP setting to Static

+ Disable security (WEP, WPA) on wifi router

+ Check DNS server, gateway IP address for correctness

Fortunately, I stumbled upon this old thread last night -> http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1371794

It helped fix the internet connection temporarily, turning off and on wifi on phone caused the issue to repeat.

In summary, he found out the correct MAC address for gateway was mismatched with the one on his phone. Even though the gateway IP address is correct (example: default gateway IP 192.168.1.1)

Upon further investigations, I found out my Wifi ROUTER has the same IP address with my MODEM (192.168.1.1) This IP conflict causes the phone to recognized the WIFI ROUTER's MAC address as the gateway's MAC address. This problem mostly occurs on Android phone, not computer (I'm no tech savvy so I have no idea why)

Simple fix: Go to wifi router setting page, change the IP address on wifi router to different number (other than default 192.168.1.1), and the problem should be fixed.

Please help spread the words to fellow Android lovers, I'm sure a lot of us have struggled with this problem :laugh:

[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] spyblaster91:
Hi

i have a problem with wifi. it remains connected but loses internet access randomly. i found this solution:

"In the wifi networks, select the network you want and select ‘Forget network’

Turn off the wifi

kill all the apps with your task manager

Turn on the wifi again

Connect to the network

Check the internet connectivity

If still the problem exist, switch off the phone and redo the above steps"

it solves the problem, but it happens again after some minutes. actually, i also installed an app named "wifi fixer" which does the above process automatically. when the program is active, it turns the wifi off and on every 2-3 minutes. and the phone has internet access when the program tuns the wifi on.

any idea?

The Mac address solution provided isn't applicable to my situation as my Mac address on my mobile is different to my modem router Mac address.

[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] TechSavvy2:
Do not recall for sure, but if I remember correctly it downloads to /cache folder. You should be able to access it (since you're rooted) and just delete the file.

Then, there is a system process that all you have to do is find with Titanium Backup and freeze it. Though I don't know what its called on the S4, probably something along with lines of touchwiz something (similar to the Moto one being Blur.something). You could probably find that out easier from someone else or on Google.

This is a review of an Android 4.1.1 Android Mini PC Stick from www.tmart.com. I highly recommend this product. Not only because they sent it to me to review, but because it is just such a great idea. It does not disappoint and it does what it has to do. Its only in the range of 40-50 dollars and the shipping wasn't that bad. This would be a great option even if you are looking for an internet streaming device! Netflix works flawlessly and the wifi strength is great! If you are interested in this product just click the video, go to the description, and click the link!

[Xperia Z Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Rayyan777:
I've seen plenty of threads of issues with a process called Mediaserver, it seems to be mainly on Jelly Bean. It's recently caught my attention after being responsible for exactly 75% of my battery usage. 75 FRICKIN' PERCENT. I've tried using scripts to kill it, formatting my sd card, checking for corrupt files, adding .nomedia to all my directories. But the son of a b**** won't die! So after hours of struggle, I've come to my last hope and made a thread about it.

The problem seems to be that it's always running, ALWAYS. Though it's most active during Music playing or Videos etc. It also prevents my Xperia from sleeping, according to the battery stats, it's been keeping it awake for 2h+. Does ANYBODY have ANY sort of fix to this menace? It's surprising because this issue has been going on over a year and Google has yet to do jack**** about it. I've tried flashing different ROM's, factory resetting too. WHAT DOES IT WANT?

I don't think it can be done with ADB pull. Instead of flashing a custom recovery, do:

Do a backup, this will give you a stock recovery.img in the backup.

A nandroid backup using a custom recovery

If you read the entire thread which is only one page, its pretty obvious that he is talking about backing up the stock recovery by making a Nandroid backup of it using a custom recovery. Anyway you can't do that since "fastboot boot recovery.img" command which will make the device boot to a custom recovery without flashing it over the stock recovery is now disabled, it only worked on hboot 1.44.

You can extract the stock recovery.img from the ota update zip file that match your firmware version

Or you can also pull the stock recovery from your phone mmcblk0p34 partition if you have S-OFF using this method . Wouldn't recommend trying this unless you really know what you are doing.

If you need help to find your stock recovery just post the output of "fastboot getvar all" (with your imei/serialno removed).
[One (M7) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] micnolmad:
Thanks

Might be obvious to you but for me who does not get the obvious I have to ask. And also it would defeat the recovering of the stock image when using a custom recovery, that was also why I didn't understand what method he was referring to.

Ok, I will search for that method.

I have done this on lollipop with s-on but with twrp as recovery, just to see if I could get the commands right. Don't know yet if the image is any good though.

[One (M7) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] alray:
No because "fastboot boot recovery.img" will boot in custom recovery without flashing the custom recovery over the stock recovery.

No need to search is simple as downloading the ota update that match your version (7.19.401.2). Open it and inside you'll find a firmware.zip file. Extract this file and then open it. You'll find a recovery.img file. This one is the stock recovery.

If you have dumped mmcblk0p34 with twrp installed on your phone, then the mmcblk0p34 file is a dump of twrp...

And fortunately, your version is the most common so yes the 7.19.401.2 stock recovery is available everywhere ;)

[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] ibthevivin:
Hey XDA. So basically I'm having sound issues with the phone. Idk what the issue is. I sent it to Samsung twice already and they attempted a fix. First time they reset the phone and flashed it with the original software and firmware. Then their second attempt they replaced a sound piece to fix the issue. Now I'm sending it in for the third time. They mentioned on the phone that the warranty only covers repairs. I looked on their website for their warranty, and all I found was a warranty EXCLUSION. -_- Well that's stupid.

So basically my question is, does anyone know specifically what Samsung covers? I'm sure they've GOT to have a no lemon guarantee, but it seemed like they dodged my inquiry when I asked. I'm losing money and patience sending the phone in over and over. It's like playing catch with a $300 over 5 States distance. :P

PS: can I roit my phone without voiding warranty, and after rooting can I put my phone back to factory settings and stick firmware (gingerbread) ???
[Sony Xperia P, U, Sola, Go] DaRk-L0rD:
1) Root will not void your warranty, unlocking bootloader though will. Taking a factory reset will not unroot your phone since doesn't mess up with superuser. Ti unroot, you have to install via flashtool stock rom and this will make you loose all your data ( not photos etc, just apps, data etc).

2) You can download from store go launcher ex and install a miui theme.

Here is the link for go launcher: https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.gau.go.launcherex&hl=en
