[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] MistahBungle:
If the WiFi connection keeps dropping, try using a static IP in the connection settings rather than DHCP. If that doesn't work, try flashing a different kernel (drivers could be messed up, and they're in the kernel, not the modem).

Re: trying different modems, start with the modems bundled with stock roms released by your carrier, then try modems bundled with stock roms released by other carriers in your country if those don't work. This should save you some time rather than just flashing modems from other carriers in other parts of the world (you only do that if trying the modems from your carrier/other carriers in your country don't work).
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] rigo88:
the static ip wouldnt work for me, cause i use different network classes at home and at my work.

im trully sorry but i dont know how to try different modem. could you please advise in a few words? :)

is there a topic how to try a different kernel either?

thanks a lot
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] MistahBungle:
If your phone is rooted, you can flash modems quickly/easily in CWRecovery. Do a search (XDA or Google) for 'I9100 modems' & you should get plenty of threads (I don't have any links handy, and if I gave you links I'd have to search to find them just as I've suggested, which you're capable of doing yourself.

If your phone isn't rooted, there are Odin flashable modems, but I very much recommend you root your phone if that's the case & use CWM flashable versions.

Can't offer any other suggestions re: the WiFi issue given you say you've tried factory resets/etc beyond trying some custom kernels (and maybe even other stock roms); using different WiFi networks is problematic for you given you won't be able to look at much on the WiFi modem/router side (like changing settings or updating firmware) given the networks concerned aren't your home network.

Re: exactly how to flash kernels/roms/modems, you really need to do some searching, this stuff has been covered so many times here over the past two years. There's some threads stickied at the top of Q&A and General which should have all the info you need, if not, an XDA search will pull up threads which will have the info you need.
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] rigo88:
well i wanted to un-brand the phone and i found an article with firmware and modem and another file (kernel i guess) together so i did the steps with odin and the error is gone.

however i had to upgrade 2-3 times cause the fw+modem came with an old 1.xy android what was slow as hell.

anyway thanks for the help

best regards.

This thread is for all those lonely people out there who are on 98.18.78xt907. Unfortunately we cannot unlock the bootloader so we are forced to run Safestrap with limited options! Let us discuss ROMS! I would like something that doesn't appear sickeningly stock (not that stock is bad it's actually quite beautiful, but is the point of rooting customizing and performance?) something that comes bare bones without all the ridiculous bloat ware, and something that is crazy fast yet conservative on the battery. Please discuss these and talk of your experiences! Thank you all!
[Droid RAZR M General] jco23:
just b/c your phone is locked does NOT mean that you cannot root it (I believe). after root, you can than freeze all the bloat you want. you can also install some root apps like "pimp my ROM" and such....
[Droid RAZR M General] WhatTheCuss:
Yes, you can ROOT the device but Motorola fixed the patch of the prior model so that now you can't unlock the BOOTLOADER, meaning you can't run a true recovery other than Safestrap which only has a couple of roms available but as far as I have seen they are quite mediocre. But yes, since I rooted the device I installed titanium backup and actually just deleted the stock bloat ware.
[Droid RAZR M General] Jersey846:
I'll say that I enjoy having an unlocked bootloader, but I've only had it unlocked about a month now. Before that I was rooted and content. If I couldn't have been rooted then I would have missed that. But for me, it's not that big of a leap to have my bootloader unlocked. Flashing roms is fun, but not why I love my phone.

[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] thepianoman77:
I got a bit confused today while i was going through some forums.... So is a Custom ROM the same as a Kernel... because these forums that i was reading made it seem like it was... I know what happens when you flash a custom ROM.... but what happens if you only flash a custom Kernel... I need someone to clear things up for me.... Also a list of the kernels available for the Verizon GS4... and links to them if possible to read and learn more about this.......................... I know that some ROMs have a custom Kernel... thats why i was confused by other forums, making it seem that flashing a kernel was just another way of saying flashing a ROM... I dont know what I'm saying... just some one clear this up for me please.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] jova33:
A ROM is like a car. They come with the developer's kernel built in. The kernel is like the engine to the car. If you wanted to overclock or something, you'd want to flash a custom kernel.

With the S4 though there are kernels for touchwiz and AOSP ROMs. If you're on TW, flash a compatible kernel and visa versa.

The launcher I would say is the paint job on the car.

If you don't need to overclock or mess with anything, I wouldn't bother messing with the kernel. And if you do it anyway, just be careful and keep a nandroid. I overclocked just to see what this bad boy could do, and it heats up very quickly and that's definitely not good, so I don't even mess with it anymore. You can turn down the frequencies too if you're trying to maximize the battery. I don't bother with that either since I get incredible battery life out of this phone.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] thepianoman77:
awesome... best answer i could have gotten... I don't think overclocking is needed with GS4.... or will be needed for other coming phones.... Unless your playing a very extreme graphics game i guess... thanks for the help and tip.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] jova33:
Also, I've read that SD card stuff has something to do with the kernel. exFAT support, some kernels have it, some don't. exFAT is the format preferred/needed for 64 GB cards. I have a 32GB card and the 32GB S4, so I don't know/care much about how the kernel handles that. TW has exFAT support by default, so I would think most TW ROMs should have it too. AOSP doesn't have it by default, but some of the custom ROMs are putting it in.

[AT&T HTC One (M7)] fran1982:
Hello everyone,

Here is my story and the reason I am posting looking for someone with enough patience to help me.

I live in the UK and last week I purchased an HTC ONE XL on Ebay, I didn't realize that the phone was being shipped from Hong Kong.. When the phone arrived It had installed Android Ice Cream Sandwich, so far so good....

The first thing I did when I received the phone was to try and update the Android software through Software update.. and here is when my problems started.. It turned out that the recovery software of the phone had been replaced with CWM and hence I am unable to actually update the firmware as every time I do so the system boots into recovery mode and it doesn't allow me to run the ZIP file.

Doing a bit more research I found out that in theory using the correct RUU I should be able to stock/unroot my phone and then be able to install the original software again and be able to update my phone.. Unfortunately the CID of my phone has been changed to CID:11111111 and so far I have not been able to find the correct RUU for it.

After a few days of research I learned how to install custom ROMs and I am running now CyanogenMod 10.0 Stable release with gapps installed as well.

Now here comes the question and hopefully someone with more experience in the Android field might be able to help me out.. Is there any chance of finding out the correct model of hardware so that I can then find the correct RUU for my phone? When I tried to update my phone using OTA the phone got this OTA package downloaded: OTA_EVITA_UL_JB_45_S_hTC_Asia_WWE_3.17.707.1_0.23a.32.09.29_10.128.32.34a_release_299070u0mcx8aiaku8jgn4, would this be of any help in order to identify the correct RUU for my phone?

I have been searching around the internet since I got the phone and doing loads of research but unfortunately despite the fact that I learned how to use Fastboot to flash the ROM, recovery image etc.. I have not been able to find this piece of information which should allow me to restore my phone back to default...

Some of you might be wondering why would I want to restore my phone back to the factory settings since CyanogenMod is really cool and boot much faster... yes you are right, I love CyanogenMod but I am having a bit of an issue with the text and icons in my Android device.. basically the text looks a bit strange and some letters do not seem to display correctly as they have funny shapes.. also the buttons appear with lines on them... so this made me think that the wrong firmware might have been installed and that due to this my phone could having issues with the display... not sure if that might be the cause...

If you guys could maybe provide some help with this or maybe point me to a threat that would help me find out how to identify my RUU that would be fantastic... I have been looking into XDA forums for a few days and although I found lots of very useful info I haven't been able to figure out how to match/find the correct RUU for my device since my CID has been changed as I already mentioned...

Thanks in advance

Hell8,

I have an unrooted i317 with latest firmware from at&t. I'm trying to configure tasker to do the following. .can someone help me with this please? It looks like the latest Android makes it difficult to turn on/off gps using tasker. ..

1) if connected to bluetooth, turn on gps & location. Turn off on disconnect.

2) if Google maps of navigation is started, turn on gps. Turn off on close.

3) if battery < 45%, turn on power saving. Turn off when phone is on charger.

[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshootin] walletless:
Sorry about that. Thanks for moving the thread to its right destination.

If someone can help me, please let me know on this thread.. GPS is draining my battery pretty bad, and the only times I want it ON is when I am in the car (i.e. connected to bluetooth), or when I am using Maps/Navigation application.. At all other times, I want bluetooth off.

Tasker tells me that I cannot control bluetooth without root, but my work email uses MaaS360 which does not allow sync'ing email on rooted devices..

I know. That's why the nandroid before hand. I think you'd be able to reset up your exchange account afterwards and it wouldn't know you had root. I was looking at it for the same reason you are. But it turned out, despite what our it department was telling me I could be rooted so I didn't have to use it. I was also able to set up my own exchange account so I didn't have to go back to them with my tail between my legs if i screwed it up.

I can't flash custom recovery on latest AT&T firmware (MF3), so nandroid is not possible :(

I mess with it then. You don't want to bork your phone with no easy to recover it.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshootin] walletless:

So question to others then again.... can I somehow get tasker to disable/enable GPS without root/recovery/securesettings?
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshootin] mattdm:
Nope. I'm confused though...why is it you can't root? Exchange settings? You should be able to set up the same exchange account on a rooted phone...besides, the MDF root method doesn't even require wiping the phone.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshootin] walletless:
I can't root because of two reasons:

1) My company uses a Mobile Device Management tool called MaaS360 to enforce some policies. One of the policies that is enforced is that the phone is non-rooted (non-jailbroken for iPhone). Few of my colleagues have tried using their rooted phone and were blocked access.. so I know for sure that this is enforced. (http://www.maas360.com/maasters/blo...r-jailbroken-devices-raise-security-concerns/ for more details)

2) I have the latest MDL firmware. While it is possible to root this with some of the recently found exploits, there is still no custom recovery flash possible - so I cannot use Nandroid.. I would hate to try rooting a $600 device and converting it into a brick without the insurance from customer recovert :)

But even if a solution to #2 is found, I cannot root my phone due to #1.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshootin] mattdm:
Ah I see. That sucks man. :(
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshootin] walletless:
If I get a GS4 device with MDL firmware, root+recovery it, and install tasker & secure settings on it - then remove root permissions on the phone; will my GPS on/off task continue to function properly? The only things I want to use Tasker for currently is to control my GPS, and do some wake-on-lan calls at home (I verified that WoL works without root).
[Shield General] Character Zero:
I was reading another forum and someone was asking if his Alienware X51 desktop would work. It has Optimus (for some reason, doesn't really make sense for a desktop) and the response was that Optimus was unsupported on desktops right now. So I wonder if there is a similar issue for laptops since most would have Optimus. Looks like from that log it is picking up both GPUs. And I wonder if one (like the Intel HD4000) returns a 0 for supported streaming, if returns 0 for all. In my case I have a Lenovo that has the intel IGP disabled, so I am only running a 750M, all they would need to do is whitelist it.
[Shield General] cgutman:
That's an interesting point. AFAIK, Optimus copies the frame buffer from the discrete GPU to the integrated GPU, which may be unsupported for NvFBC right now (although in theory the data should still be in the discrete GPU's frame buffer too).

If you're not running Optimus, the DisableStreamingCheck hack may work for you. Just run the reg file and either manually restart "NVIDIA Streaming Service" or reboot your machine.

EDIT: GeForce Experience will still say your configuration unsupported but that expected. It doesn't have any effect on whether the hack works or not.
[Shield General] agrabren:
Is there an NvFBC driver or module or something on desktop systems? Maybe the file isn't part of the mobile install?
[Shield General] cgutman:
There is an nvfbc.dll file in the C:\Program Files\NVIDIA Corporation\NvStreamSvc. The curious thing is that I never see an image load for it in Process Monitor.
[Shield General] agrabren:
Someone has to be responsible for loading that thing... Do you have a working desktop system, or are you doing this all against the mobile without a reference system?
[Shield General] cgutman:
I'm doing this without a reference system. I've looked through the INFs of the desktop drivers and they don't look like they're doing anything substantially different that seems related to this. I'm definitely no expert in how NVIDIA packs their drivers, so help in this area would be appreciated. From what I've seen, it looks like the notebook drivers are dropping the required files, they just don't work.

It would be nice if someone who's actually used Shield streaming exported their HKLM\SOFTWARE\Nvidia Corporation\ registry key for us to look at. There were a few other registry queries I saw by nvstreamsvc.exe:

HKLM\SOFTWARE\Nvidia Corporation\NvStream\EnableStreaming - Doesn't exist on my machine, but adding it with dword:1 didn't seem to do anything

There was another like "UseGfeOpsManager" or something (can't remember off the top of my head) and setting that to 0 (1 is default when the value doesn't exist) disables GFE's enumeration of games. With that set to 0, I had the option of streaming notepad.exe (which didn't work with the same NvFBC error).
[Shield General] agrabren:
I'm doing all of this blind intentionally. Looking at any of the source code would definitely be a conflict of interest (and this is already bordering on that). Tonight, I'll check on my home computer (which can stream) with Process Explorer, and see who, if any, load nvfbc.dll. It's gotta be someones responsibility... I can also get my registry dumped.
[Shield General] waldoinc:
Reference Machine

I have a desktop that I will look into once i get home from work. I will also state that I have a M14x from Alienware (Dell) that i am wanting to get it to stream as well. Only a 650 gt but should still be able to handle the encoding as well.
[Shield General] Character Zero:
I haven't ordered my Shield yet, it really kind of hinges on mobile GPUs working, but I am curious about a laptop like mine where the Intel GPU is completely disabled.

EDIT: Are there any limitations regarding a Kepler GPU? Such as its is specific to desktop Kepler? Is there a chance for mobile Keplers(650M, 750M, etc)? Just trying confirm that there is at least a chance streaming might work for me.
[Shield General] hurrpancakes:
At the moment, it only supports desktop GPUs, 650 and up
[Shield General] agrabren:
On my system, it gets loaded by nvstreamer.exe...
[Shield General] Character Zero:
If the overall problem is in the Intel GPU and working around Optimus I wonder if Nvidia could just whitelist the mobile GPUs and not the Intel. So Optimus would still not stream but laptops with dedicated Kepler GPUs (650M +) with a disabled Intel GPU could stream. They could even have it be unsupported, maybe only initially work with the hack above. Maybe label it experimental and ask for feedback. I am hoping that its a matter of the mobile Keplers have not undergone testing due to the focus on desktop keplers and not that the mobile keplers are just unable to stream no matter what.
[Shield General] cgutman:
I just looked again and it's definitely not loaded on mine. The only NVIDIA dlls I see loaded by nvstreamer.exe are rxinput.dll and nvumdshimx.dll.

I'm not convinced that the issue is the lack of proper whitelisting of Kepler GPUs. Many desktops these days also have the Intel GPUs visible to the OS, so their code had to handle that. I say this because I had a similar concern initially that they may not be properly enumerating through the adapter list (just stopping at the first one), but that concern went away when I saw the events in Process Monitor that clearly showed them looking at all of the video adapters on the machine.
[Shield General] agrabren:
Has someone tried this on a non-optimus system using just the dedicated NV GPU?
[Shield General] Character Zero:
Should have my Shield tomorrow or Friday, I can try it out then.
[Shield General] aDigitalPhantom:
After I get steam installed on my other computer I might have something useful to add here.

I re-read the thread a little better and i looked up drivers for both GTX660 and GTX660M

the mobile 326.41 driver are missing this

from New in GeForce R326 Drivers

It looks to me like it could be done if the desktop drivers can be installed.
[Shield General] cgutman:
My install of the mobile 326.41 drivers seems to contain the required files, but nvstreamer.exe fails without loading NvFBC. I see that it's looking at PCI hardware IDs in the registry, so it may be blacklisting/whitelisting based on those. I looked through nvstreamer.exe in a hex editor and didn't see any obvious hardware ID strings, but it's possible that the matches are stored in a table of 16-bit PCI vendor and device IDs.
[Shield General] Character Zero:
OMG!!!! It works. Credit to [MENTION=2844433]cgutman[/MENTION]!!!!!

Used the registry entry you provided. I am using a Lenovo Y400, that has the intel GPU disabled. It freaking works!!

The reason i suggested what i did was because after using the reg entry from this post I have got a pc with
