[Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] timonoj:
Hi guys,

Here I am asking a rather basic question...I come from a very properly working i9100. I swapped the SIM card with that one, where I could tether with no problem. So now its bigger brother i9505 inherited the SIM. So I'm assuming that's not the source of the problem, the mobile provider (Three Hong Kong) has no tethering/voip limitations.

In the phone (stock ROM the phone came with, v4.2.2 I9505ZHUBMF4) I set the hotspot settings, the laptop(s, tested with two different ones) connect successfully with wifi, but fail to navigate. Pages time out, no ping response.

If I do the same with USB tethering, the phone is immediately recognized and connects as a local dial-in connection, the traffic icon shows on the taskbar. But again, no internet connection. Pages time out, no ping response. Same behavior on the bluetooth connection.

Just to confirm, the old S2 keeps happily performing as USB and wifi hotspot...Any clue as to what's going on?

Thanks a lot!

Can anyone please help me set up Active Sync via Bluetooth!

I've been trying for days, I've tried both my Atom and the Wizard but I am getting nowhere. :cry: :cry:

It is different to Windows SE 2003 version (Jam).

Many Thanks!!
[8125, K-JAM, P4300, MDA Vario General] JoninLA:
I'm assuming you already have bluetooth set up on your pc on one of the Comm ports so...

First, set up a partnership between your unit and the pc, i.e. set bluetooth on both to be discoverable by other devices and on your pda switch on bluetooth in comm manager, select "settings" then "bluetooth settings" select the "Devices" tab then select "new partnership" the two should find each other and you'll enter a code on the pda for the handshake which you then need to enter in turn on the pc.

Open activesync on the pc, select file then connections settings check the "allow connections to one of the following" box, select the bluetooth comm port from the pulldown. On your device then open activesync and select "menu" and "connect via bluetooth", from there it should connect.

Sounds easy but I find it works about as well as the Activesync 4.1 on USB, so erratically....
[8125, K-JAM, P4300, MDA Vario General] rmg:
Should also mention that your initial connection cannot be via BT. You have to do it via USB first.
[8125, K-JAM, P4300, MDA Vario General] guttrhead:
My home computer is an older version of media center. I'm not sure if that has anything to do with the problem I'm having, but every time I hook up my phone through usb, my computer resets itself. No errors, no warnings, it just powers down and restarts. The phone works fine on every other computer I've tried (all were xp) and usb on my computer works fine with everything else I've tried it on (keyboard, mouse, hard drive, bt dongle). I've been trying to get it syncing over bt with no luck, I guess because I can't do it through usb first. Any ideas of what I could do?
[8125, K-JAM, P4300, MDA Vario General] dave106:
Make sure when you make the initial partnership youve searched for the phone from the PC, then once you enter the passkey on the phone you can check the Activesync Service box. You cant do this if you find the PC from phone, it doesnt come up. once i did this, it was easy then. make a bluetooth com port on the pc and in activesync allow connections on that port.
[8125, K-JAM, P4300, MDA Vario General] davebo:
Port doesn't appear

I can set up a pairing between my PC and the Wizard, but I never see the com port in the list in Activesync.

Doh! :x
[8125, K-JAM, P4300, MDA Vario General] majdi:
Re: Port doesn't appear

you should the same comm port which shows in the bt configuration as "bt serial port" it's always shown with me as com4 (maybe it's deferent with you), but you have to choose the same port, otherwise it will not connect.

if the comm port does not show in the activesync list, then you should add a new incoming port through the bt configuration, and it will show the port # in the activesync list.

try that, it should work for you.
[Google Chromecast] RRtexasranger:
I got my brother a Chromecast for Christmas, and it will work fine while he's at home, but I'd really want to help find him a way to use it while he's at college. His university uses a WPA2-Enterprise network, and I've read that the Chromecast doesn't work with those.

Would something like VirtualRouterPlus allow him to use the Chromecast while at school? I realize that it may not be the fastest or most secure method, but I figure it's better than nothing...
[Google Chromecast] nano351:
Does it support multicast? If it can handle that, then Chromecast should work on it
[Google Chromecast] tony yayo:
I'm curious about this too. My router is all the way on the opposite side of the house from my bedroom TV and the Chromecast won't work there. Trying to find a way to stream from my phone, maybe using my tablet as the router?
[Google Chromecast] bhiga:
That seems a bit overcomplicated. I'd just get a wireless range extender.

Or if your router allows adjusting the signal power, increase it slowly until you get reasonable signal.

Or the cheapest solution, though not always feasible - relocate the router. ;)

[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note II] michaelatrix:
I think my Gps is broken. I have been running seanzs skynote 4.3 n3 edition since its been out. I have tried wiping everything including internal memory amd reinstalling multiple times to no avail. I have tried flashing different modems. Replacing gps.config file. Tried multiple apps that are supposed to fix gps lock issues. Didn't work. Do you guys think going back to stock would help? And if so what is the best way to do that? And any other suggestions?
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note II] michaelatrix:
I would like to also add that I do not know if it was working before I flashed 4.3. I didn't use it that much at all until I recently was trying to use it in a city ive never been to before.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note II] gregsarg:
Try the return to stock... And test it...

Make sure that you upgrade back to UCAMH3...as it contains GPS fixes and new libs...

If it still doesn't work... The device may have hardware issues... g

[AT&T Galaxy Note 3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] vividblu2020:
Okay. So this is my third phone from at&t. I have had three major problems. I cannot connect to open Wi-Fi networks like panera bread and Starbucks. I Get the word in blushing connected, but after a second it says " the network is slow and unstable". I have had the battery getting hot with moderate usage as well. Plus when I am talking to someone else thru say the cannot hear me. So I put it on speaker phone and disable the speaker phone option and all is good. I've read about people gettimg at least one of these issues, but there is no solution to any of these problems. I jabs tried everything. Disabling through auto connect, and fixing the GPS to where the apps can't get my location. Speaking of which I never had these issues with other phones like the s4. That last pic means when I signed in it wouldn't continue further

Edit : the battery seems okay. But the issue with the calling and Wi-Fi still stands. Someone said there needs to be an update

[Kindle Fire HDX 7" & 8.9" General] ash99:
Hi,

Can anyone please verify if the Kindle Fire HDX can make standard phones calls ? When I say Standard I mean over the celluar network opposed to VOIP or SIP ?

Thanks

Ash.
[Kindle Fire HDX 7" & 8.9" General] scx110a:
No. Amazon modified the activity in Phone.apk, and if you want to make phone call using that way, nothing would happen. But since I can receive the SMS (yes, only receive, will show as a notification, and no way to reply/send), I thought it is possible to enable phone call feature with lots of work.
[Kindle Fire HDX 7" & 8.9" General] goodayoo:
now that it's rooted, everything can happen on the HDX, wait and try the CM11
[Kindle Fire HDX 7" & 8.9" General] missha:
scx110a,

Could you tell me if SIM cards on HDX is removable or not (because of T-Mobile on your screenshot it looks like it is)? If it is, how hard is it to change it and is it similar to HD 8.9 (youtube.com/watch?v=flsyBX3PUkw)?
[Kindle Fire HDX 7" & 8.9" General] scx110a:
Certainly removable, and it's a NANO SIM (the same as iPhone 5), you only need a SIM pin to eject the sim tray (still same as iPhone 5). And I think it is similar to HD 8.9.
[Kindle Fire HDX 7" & 8.9" General] bigbrown:
Any ideas which version of HDX 8.9 will work with TMO nano sim card?
[Kindle Fire HDX 7" & 8.9" General] HoOnZ:
Can anyone confirm if the KIndle Fire HDX 8.9 will work with T-Mobile? I've been searching but can't find a definitive answer.
[Kindle Fire HDX 7" & 8.9" General] godsburden:
I don't think there is, the phone.apk file's been altered. Your best bet is to just use a VOIP service.

[Nook HD, HD+ Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] person124:
I bought a refurbished nook HD+ and used CWM (the new method) to root my device, add "install from unknown sources", and flashed Carbon ROM with multi window function. However, Carbon ROM has been very laggy for me (random apps crashing, twitch.tv on chrome crashing), so I'm looking to install CyanogenMod.

I had heard about the TRIM function, and did some searches and read the FAQ on it. From what I understand my device (SEM32G) should not get bricked if I install the CM version with TRIM enabled. So then my question is, should I proceed with installing CM10.2 w/ TRIM or do you guys still advise not to, and if so, the RC build on the CM website (cm-10.2-20131102-SNAPSHOT-M1-ovation.zip) for nook HD+ is the one I want right? I'm assuming flashing it requires the same steps as flashing the Carbon ROM I flashed. Thanks!
[Nook HD, HD+ Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] leapinlar:
With that chip, put any ROM you want on and enable trim. No worries. If you install the M1, be sure to also install the trim enabled kernel and the correct version of gapps.
[AT&T LG Optimus G] ZombieGeek:
Ok, so I rooted my LGOG E970. I figured I better unlock it as well, so I used FreeGee and unlocked it. I tried to download CWM but it said it couldnt download file. So I thought I would reboot my phone. Now, all I get is the google logo, with the unlocked key underneath, and it then goes to the LG logo and back to Google and shuts off. I tried to hold down power and volume down, nothing, and power volume up nothing.:crying:

any ideas? Thanks in advance! I love this phone! :D

CJ
[AT&T LG Optimus G] aedren:
You too, huh?

I did this the other night, and when the CWM failed to install I went to download it myself... That's when I saw that CWM for geeb is 6.0.3.8, not 6.0.4.5 like FreeGee shows. (Looks like FreeGee has moved on to targeting G2 or another... Oops.)

I hope you backed up your EFS, because mine was screwed up and I needed to manually restore it from the backup I'd taken. (I've had my phone rooted for 9+ months, finally got fed up with stock and was looking to get onto a 4.4 ROM)

So here's what I did:

Held power button until phone was properly off (failed boot seemed to be a still partially on state)

Held volumn up first, then started holding power.

When phone vibrated slightly, I let go of power and kept holding volume up... You should be in boot loader now.

When your phone is in the bootloader, connect to your PC (Make sure you have the proper drivers if you use Windows; I use Linux which doesn't have the same nonsense setup for drivers like Windows does)

Make sure "fastboot devices" shows your phone and then type: fastboot flash recovery _____recovery file name.img____

Press volume down twice to select "Recovery", and press power once to select it... You should be booted into the recovery that you just installed.

Once you're in a recovery, you can push a ROM zip via ADB, flash, wipe data/dalvik cache and reboot.
[AT&T LG Optimus G] ZombieGeek:
thanks, Just a little more help

I try to go to recovery and it just goes blank. What program with my crazy windows would be best to get a stock file to the phone? Or any other ideas>

thanks again
[AT&T LG Optimus G] aedren:
Yeah, the stock recovery won't boot if you try it either. I forgot to tell you that. If you drop in a custom recovery (TWRP or CWM), it will work fine and you can both create a backup of your data and flash a new ROM...

If you want to try to get back to stock, LGNPST is what you should try. But to be completely honest, I don't know if you can LGNPST from the state that it's in. I haven't tried, and I'm using a custom ROM now (the whole reason I unlocked the bootloader to begin with).
[AT&T LG Optimus G] ZombieGeek:
bummer

again, thanks so much! you are my hero, only problem is, I loaded the kit kat bu houstonn and now I have no cellular? I hate it when your phone isnt a phone lol
[AT&T LG Optimus G] aedren:
Yeah, I got that too. I don't know if I got it fixed due to changing ROM, using the suggested recovery from the ROM, or if it was due to me restoring my EFS backup.

I flashed the TeamWin recovery found in the PSX instructions. Then I flashed PSX + Latest kernel + Banks Gapps + Banks Google Camera + AT&T NFC fix + SuperSU. I manually restored EFS from an ADB shell while in recovery.

When I booted I had: LTE works, Wifi works, NFC works, Camera works, ART works... The only things failing for me are the following:

Cell provider shows up as "Maritime" (display bug; as mentioned, LTE works fine and I'm on AT&T)

Settings > Developer Tools > Geeky Process Stats (does nothing)

Settings > Lockscreen > Slider Shortcuts (crashes as soon as I tap the middle ring)

LogCat is spammed with "QCOM PowerLock: Failed to acquire lock" whenever my finger is on the screen.

/system/xbin/mount --bind doesn't work (neither does mount -o bind). It gets sorta half-way-there, because the target directory can't be removed, but isn't bound properly it seems.

Other than that, it's been fast and smooth.

I just tried to pair my Qtek 9100 with my Logitech DiNovo BT Keyboard with no hope of success, but...

I guess you shold never say never it actually worked, not only the pairing I mean the keybord actually works on the 9100! Cool.

My only setback is that I have a Swedish keyboard and the keyboard layout does not seem to match all the way.

I've already downloaded the latest Widcomm drivers. If the Wizard initiates the pairing then the activesync service is not listed (only get serial port and headset services). If the PC initiates the pairing then I can get the activesync service as the only service for the connection, but then when I try to use activesync over bluetooth I get an error that the port could not be opened on the computer (assume this means PC, not handheld).

curious... which recovery for the GS3 is best for the roms availible.

i keep seeing devs put up notes saying use CWM and not TWRP. mainly this seems to apply for the new cm11 builds. does the new twrp not work?

i just happen to like the ui of twrp.. and the fact i can name the files what i want... makes it easier to find my recovery. i have no issues with using CWM... used it for a long time before the s3

so which is actually better and more compatible with roms? will the touch version of CWM work?

please no bashing of the others... i realize everyone has a favorite... this is more a compatability question.

thanks :)
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] donnyp1:
Newest twrp works just fine on ALL versions of android
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] BadUsername:
Mostly it just comes down to personal preference, however I've heard credible people swear that twrp is more reliable for this phone.

I still use cwm though because I prefer the interface. I'm just more familiar with the layout.

All recoveries will work across all roms, except philz touch recovery, at least until it's updated.
