[Xperia Z Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Kirkymole:
Hey all. I have a question which neither the search on here or Google has helped me in the slightest.

I have a portable Bluetooth speaker, it's a Technika BT10 from Tesco... Ten quid. Not bad for one I take to work and beat up on a daily basis.

When I turn it on it plays this annoying as hell tune. What I want to know.... Can I change something in its software (assuming it actually has any) or can I disable it physically?

If it helps I have a call button that opens the phone book and starts voice search when pressed and a USB port (for charging) too...

I know this isn't the right place but it's being used with my Xperia Z day to day so you know...

And no, before anyone asks, I don't want to buy a new one that doesn't play a tune when you turn it on. I like my one, it has taken some serious abuse at work, including being driven over by a 360 excavator.

how to go to boot into recovery in xperia go? please help
[General Questions and Answers] tharkun2:
Hello akasuyash,

I assume you have installed CWM recovery, to enter the recovery you have to press volume buttons when phone's boot logo is show i.e when is booting.

Anyways here you have an excellent guide to get started with Xperia Go.

I am using Verizon GS4.

Actually, I go to Columbia, but my GS4 keeps disconnecting and reconnecting immediately the wifi that Columbia provides.

Other devices have no such problem, and my GS4 does not have the same problem with other wifi networks.

I searched for relevant information on google so much, but nothing worked.

Could you guys help me identify what causes the problem and solve it?

Thank you.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] AliceBToklas:
Well, for starters you'll need to provide more information, such as

is this a dev edition or regular verizon phone?

are you running a custom ROM and/or kernel?

can you use other wifi networks?

I've never had any issues with mine.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] johngalaxy:
Mine is just a regular verizon phone and I don't root it.

With other wifi networks, there are no such problem.

Columbia provides two wifi networks: one is unsecured, the other is secured.

But, both of them have the same disconnecting and reconnecting problem.

Actually, I even got replacement from Verizon, but the replacement one also has the same problem.

Of course I did the factory reset, which did not work.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] AliceBToklas:
Sounds like some compatibility issue with the access points AFAIK. I know there were some initial issues with some DLink consumer routers but this would be something new. You might want to see if you can find any information on the access points and report to Verizon/Samsung. For that matter you might report the issue to folks at Columbia and they might be of help.

That said, perhaps someone else has seen this and will chip in.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] h311sdr0id:
You are probably connected with DHCP. Sometimes I have found it useful to go into advanced options, and then click on "static". You should then see your IP address that DHCP has automatically assigned you. Try changing it and connecting. For example, if your IP is 192.168.0.7, try changing it to 192.168.0.45 or a number higher up.

Some of the routers have issues automatically assigning IP's. And with all of the connecting/reconnecting, the lower IP addresses can have issues. Assigning yourself an IP address that is out of the normal range that most connect in, can sometime help. My router at work does the same thing. So I set it up with an IP that was way out of range. 192.168.0.210. The DHCP service the router offers rarely assigns addresses in that range.

Also, sometime others will have done this already and assigned themselves a static IP in the low range. And sometimes the router will give seniority to someone connecting statically or that already has an IP or MAC that is filtered either on purpose or accidentally from an old configuration or user.

There are many scenarios. Including device fault. There could also be issues with the two routers or single router that is emitting both a secure and insecure connection.

Try the static IP address first, then report back.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] Eric214:
It's likely to do with the WiFi Multimedia or equivalent in your router. It is especially prevalent in the Dlink DIR-655 and DIR-855 routers. If you have an "N" rated router (everyone should have) if you uncheck WMM (WiFi Multimedia) in your advanced router settings and reboot your router, you should not have any more constant connects or disconnects.

Sammy blames the hardware manufactures and the manufactures blames Sammy with each others firmware as the problem. I was using a DIR-655 router until i just updated mine last week to a Linksys EA4500 (N900) and no problems at all.

Just so you know, unchecking WMM means you force the router to basically run at "G" speeds instead of "N" speeds. WMM was a workaround compatibility fix during the time when "N" speeds were still in draft status, not official. New routers still use WMM but its all stable and new routers shouldn't have the same issues with the GS4.

90% of the time this is the exact issue people have with the constant disconnects with the GS4 with their routers. The fact it is at a university means you likely won't be able to fix it. You can try seeing if they can test this theory at their IT department but I have no clue if they will do it.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] johngalaxy:
solved

I just set "Static IP" in the advanced option without changing IP address.

But, this solved my problem, thank you for your help especially h311sdr0id.

[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] malchiax:
as a parent i had an idea for an app (if possible) for android.

there are lots of apps for toddlers and kids and most of them my wife and i actually use.

with one drawback. they dont lock. i wanted to ask the dev community if there was a possibilty of an app being made that allowed access to selected installed apps and kept a "lock" in place to keep kids in only what they need to be.
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] youdug:
Check out kids place in the play store.

Pick the apps you want them to only see and pick a password.

You can lock the home button so it goes back to the kids place app.

wow. thanks. never notices that. perfect.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note II] marksm:
I finally rooted it yesterday and it now is very unresponsive at times. It will get to the point where it's frozen for about 30 seconds before it does anything. I flushed the caches and did a reset, same thing. So I flashed Jedi ROM on it. It's a little better but still has moments where ti freezes for a time. Is there a fix for this?
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note II] mrevankyle:
Rooting does absolutely nothing to the performance of the device. Its comparable to giving yourself admin rights on a windows computer. No performance change just extra features. Might want to check any apps that you installed after rooting
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note II] marksm:
I did not install anything after root.

It works smooth as silk with the stylus. Possible sensitivity adjustment?

Maybe the sdcard needs to be reformatted?
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note II] the2rrell:
ROOT will not brake the phone or cause lag. it changes nothing internally except rights to your phone. no tweaks or files deleted. I can see it being something with the screen since you say the pen works great and using your finger I assume it micro stutters. but even the freezing for 30 sec does not sound screen related. I would wipe and format data, and then try another Rom. I used jedi from the first build all they up to 15 and it ran like a champ. its something you are doing, or have not undone yet.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note II] rangercaptain:
I would suggest clearing caches. Its got nothing to do with rooting, but neither does rooting have to do with lag.

It sounds like an app was restored with data.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note II] gregsarg:
Agreed....

Excellent point ranger.....TY.....g
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note II] marksm:
no apps were restored either. When I flashed the new ROM I cleared every cache I could see listed and wiped it clean. All I can think of is the old stuff on the sdcard is causing issues so tomorrow I will reformat it and reset again.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note II] rangercaptain:
Well then, the only thing I can think of is you flashed an incorrect kernel. What exactly did you flash?
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note II] marksm:
Used the root tool from http://galaxynote2root.com. Odin and cwm6-root-note2.tar.

It still had the bad lag and freezing after I un-rooted it and restored the original ROM.

I have since flashed Jedi, didn't like it and now am on NOTEorious Prime.

What I have noticed is that the lag and freezing go away when I am connected to a wireless network. Maybe it screwed up my modem?
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note II] gregsarg:
And have you verified the APN settings as being correct ?

Or they may simply be mixed up by default..

It may be set on ATT LTE.....instead of ATT PHONE for example...

Both will work...but one will drop the network speed by about 70%...

Just a thought....g
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note II] rangercaptain:
Perhaps a factory reset from within recovery --- to make all settings default. By now there's a lot of stuff floating around in there.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note II] marksm:
Why would the original root change the APN settings.

I have factory reset several times. Even with the factory image applied fresh, it still freezes. The weird thing is, it responds just fine to the stylus.

I am at the point where I restore the stock ROM again and take it to ATT to see if they will swap it out.

Thanks for the help, keep the ideas coming..
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note II] rangercaptain:
Flashing a custom rom or recovery or kernel voids your warranty. Please don't tell us about plans to return the phone to at&t. The phone worked as expected before you began flashing.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note II] marksm:
It's not the radio or wireless either. It works perfect with the stylus but seems like it doesn't detect my finger to operate normally. Does Samsung have a tool to reset the display sensitivity?
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note II] rangercaptain:
There is a dial code for the touch screen. I don't know it, but I've found those codes by googling 'android secret note 2 dialer codes' or something like that.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note II] marksm:
Looks like I have it fixed.. It's working right since I followed the instructions here http://android.stackexchange.com/questions/39423/galaxy-note-10-1-does-not-recognize-finger-touch

I had installed swiftkey so I removed that and tried swype beta and it's all good now.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note II] marksm:
I restored everything back to stock and it is still having problems. The screen is unusable with my finger, I have to use the S Pen for everything.

Would reloading the stock ROM with kies be different than using Odin? Does Samsung put some key piece of code in the areas that get changed with rooting?

I am at a loss..
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note II] Bajanman:
Ok to test you touch screen etc. type this in code in your dialer *#0*#!!

And don't think Sammy would put something in there, to make there phones not work correctly!

Me 2¢®
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note II] marksm:
On the test screen, I have to tap screen many times until it finally registers. Then I drag my finger around for about 30 seconds before it starts picking up and filling in the boxes. It will finally let me fill in all the boxes and say it passes but it takes a lot of effort.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note II] Bajanman:
Yeah it's not suppose to be that difficult honestly. Something is defiantly wrong!!:confused:

Me personally if you bought the phone from an AT&T store! I'd reborn it for a replacement! And if it's not used from someone off the street. Then I'll put it back to fully stock, reset flash counter. Then return and replace at one of there local service centers. Especially if it's giving that much problems as it sounds to be doing. Seems as if the screen has some hardware issues inside...

Re: ROM Upgrade

Hi, I've been looking into which is the best ROM, I was thinking of swapping to the I-mate PDA2 ROM. But the general feeling is the modified 02 with Radio 1.03. This is what I have put on mine and I'm on PayT vodafone UK, my GPRS worked fine after I installed the attached file. :lol:

Unless your loaded a word of warning Vodafone charge £7.50 for a 1Mb download of data on PayT!!!!!!!! I found this out after I had subscribed to TomTom Traffic on TTN 5.1, waste of my money now, GPRS too expensive, looking at other PayT deals ie. T-Mobile +£2.60 per Mb, although still too expensive. :x

Copy to XDA IIi. Access the copied file on your XDA IIi , click on it to run and it will install all the UK settings for Vodafone. Please keep a copy, as the install deletes itsself automatically. :twisted:

RE: 02 PAYT Cab file or Vodafone PAYt

To run the cab files, copy to your PDA and double click to run. These cabs just update the registry, it doesn't matter. As long as your PDA is SIM-Free, any carrier should work.

They are the official files from the IMATE website, which has cabs for most carriers including worldwide. You can only download these files from IMATE website if you have a registered device. They should work on all XDA or other brand names etc. :twisted:

RE: Other Operater cabs

I have uploaded the rest of the available cabs for the UK carriers, contact and PAYT. So in combination with my earlier uploads, these are all the UK carrier settings for the UK

There are cabs for other countries and carriers available, let me know your carrier, contract (PAYT or Contract) And I will try to locate the correct cab file.

These are the offical cabs from IMATE. They only update your registry and nothing else. Copy to your PDA and click to run.

just one other thing, once the gprs connects, its stays on? how do u disconnect it - save battery? it used to end connection once mms was d/l or u/l and there was an option to disconnect when pressing on G icon?

[PDA2, XDA IIi, 2020i General] DAz999:
If you are a T-mobile cstomer,then I suggest you use the T-Mobile file I have uploaded, it is for T-Mobile contract users. It doesn't matter what ROM you have, it only sets up the gprs and wap settings, by writing to the registry on PDA. :D
[PDA2, XDA IIi, 2020i General] DAz999:
I just open 'Wireless Manager', if the GPRS is connected then the icon will be green, tap the icon to disconnect. :twisted:

Cab install Splash Screen Bonus!

Hi, all

I have had a look at the carrier cab installs, I uploaded and found out that you can change your splash screen with these cabs as well.

XDA IIi installation

Go to this link for instructions on how to create the 2 files you will need.

http://pocketpcdubai.infopop.cc/groupee/forums/a/tpc/f/582600994/m/138105069

They have the Windows program for conversion and some example jpg's or create your own Splash screen. This program runs on your PC.

In the program save your chosen jpg as twice as system1.nb and then repeat with same jpg and save as system2.nb.

Copy these files to your PDA Windows directory. Then copy the correct carrier cab file (listed earlier), click to run, it will then install/re-install your GPRS and WAP settings and update your splash screen, it will probably freeze, then do a soft reset and voila you will see your new splash screen. To change just repeat the process and overwrite your 2 files in windows directory with your new ones and use the cab again.

**Please note the GPRS cab files will only update your splash screen if you have copied the correct files to the windows directory on your pda.

If you do not want to change your splash screen, then simply run the cab file without copying/creating system1 or system2, and this will just install your chosen carrier internet settings etc**

One more thing I mentioned in an eariler post that the cabs update your GPRS and WAP, well they also install your MMS settings as well.

Enjoy :twisted:
