Hi,

My mini s seems to have a problem connecting to my home network. When i switch the wi fi on it searches but does not connect. I hard reset a coyuplke of day ago and switch on the wifi and it found my network then promted to enter key, which i did. The phone then connected no problem. No when i switch wifi on it doesnt connect. I go into network cards tab and look what networks are available and my network is there with available next to it but the options have all change (key be given out auto etc...) so i change them to the correct ones etc.. but still it doesnt connect? What i'm i doing wrong? I has worked in the past but not now. I have not installed and 3rd party software and my router is working fine (laptop downstairs works no problem off network).

any ideas

cheers
[8125, K-JAM, P4300, MDA Vario General] ferritt:
hi,

i just reseted my router and renamed my homenetwork and assigned a newwep key. started wifi on mini s and it connected straight away to the my newly named network. switch wifi off then on again and now it wont connect. it see's the network and says its available but wont connect. under the settings the network key has changed. it's defo a problem with the phone cus everything else works fine (laptop, psp). it's just not saving the network info???

and ideas???

cheers
[8125, K-JAM, P4300, MDA Vario General] ferritt:
think it could be because i've upgraded to o2 new rom??? Could somebody with the latest UK o2 rom please confirm that ther can connect to the networ?

cheers
[8125, K-JAM, P4300, MDA Vario General] talkingbollox:
This also happens to me with the latest O2 ROM.

What you have to do is to manually connect and perservere by going to Network Cards, tapping the network and then select Connect. It may take a few go's but it will connect eventually.

Report back how you get on.

You may want to set up your router to assign a fixed IP address to the Mini S's MAC address as well.
[8125, K-JAM, P4300, MDA Vario General] gavboy:
Sounds like the problem I've been having. I've also got an O2 rom and am having problems connecting to any wifi network, even though it worked fine the first time.

I've tried going to the network cards page and clicking connect, but it hasn't worked so far. talkingbollox - when you say 'eventually', how long are you talking?

I'll also try assigning a fixed ip address later, but my hopes aren't high.
[8125, K-JAM, P4300, MDA Vario General] talkingbollox:
Sometimes 2 attempts, sometimes up to 20.

Persevere!
[8125, K-JAM, P4300, MDA Vario General] gavboy:
20! I probably tried about 10 times before I gave up. Surely this is a fault. You shouldn't have to waste so much time just to get a connection! :x

I tried MAC address filtering too but that didn't seem to work.

Do you think this is a O2 ROM problem or a hardware problem? If it's just O2, I think I might try a different ROM. Any suggestions which ROM to use?
[8125, K-JAM, P4300, MDA Vario General] jamiemckee:
My Mini S came already with the latest rom I think, and it works fine with my router (BT Voyager 2110)

Are you guys using the 802.11g reg edit?? Maybe thats why its not working, I actually did the hack before I ever turned on my wifi so I don't know if it worked without it. Try it My wizard connects with my router in G only 8)

Search the forum you will find loads of posts about it, and I think somebody has even made a cab file that does it for you, along with some speed tweeks that make your system faster.
[8125, K-JAM, P4300, MDA Vario General] talkingbollox:
It must have taken me in excess of 40 goes to connect last night.

Yes, I am using the g mode hack. My Voyager 2100 is set to broadcast in both b and g (i.e. mixed) mode.
[8125, K-JAM, P4300, MDA Vario General] Silvernrg:
I had the same problem... what I did was just entering the dns adress of my router.

So the ppc doesn't wait for the dhcp server to asign it .. it works great when surfing at home !!! :D :D
[Nexus 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] vI Ragnarok Iv:
Ok, So basically I accidentally formatted my entire phone while trying to flash SlimKat... Noobish, I know, lol. My question is: If I'm still able to enter recovery (TWRP) would I be able to flash a rom still or should I revert to stock 4.4.2?
[Nexus 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] simms22:
if you can still enter recovery, you can adb push a rom/gapps to your phone and flash tbem.
[Nexus 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] vI Ragnarok Iv:
Ok, cool. Would you mind elaborating a bit, I'm not too familiar with using console commands to flash. Also, thanks for the help!!
[Nexus 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] exb0:
Please look at this thread, and read it thoroughly.

-Download ROM and Gapps, transfer it to your ADB folder and rename it to something easy (Eg : Rom.zip and Gapps.zip).

-Open CMD/Terminal, navigate to your ADB folder.

-Boot into recovery on your phone and plug in your phone, find something called ADB Sideload. It's under Advance in TWRP if I'm not mistaken.

-Type in "adb sideload *.zip" . Replace * with your zip name you have renamed earlier.

-Your phone should be flashing the zip. Simply reboot and you should be perfectly fine.
[Nexus 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] vI Ragnarok Iv:
Thank you, sir. Couldn't get adb sideload to work so I just flashed the factory image of 4.4.2. No big deal, I'll just have to Re-root. :/
[Nexus 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] exb0:
Oh, that was probably a driver issue. No worries, you can always get into android, transfer the custom rom into your SD card, boot into recovery, wipe and flash if you want to try out a custom rom.
[Nexus 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] tfernandes:
Guys, I'm using the rom PA AOSAL remix

My problem is that I'm not receiving or getting delayed push notification on my Nexus 4

Firstly I thought it was a 3g issue and switch to WiFi (no luck)... the problem is, sometimes I don't receive whatsapp notifications while my phone is "sleeping" I need to open the whatsapp to receive the message in my phone, i receive all messages together when I open the app, it wasn't like this before....

Does anyone knows why? I was using Cyanogen M4 before and getting this same problem sometimes

this app https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.andqlimax.pushfixer&rdid=com.andqlimax.pushfixer didn't solve my problem when I was using Cyanogen, that's why I'm creating this thread

Thank u

[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] little8020:
A few weeks ago my power button started freaking out. It has become super sensitive to were if I touch it it will either hit about 3 quick times(screen off, on, off) or bring up the power menu.

I'm running CM so I have volume and home button wake and a lock screen widget on my home screen and in the pull down menu.

My problem is that it is getting more and more sensitive to were I would like to be able to disable the button while the phone is on. Is that possible at all.

Thanks
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] pre4speed:
The beginning of a sticky power button. You'll need to clean it out. Some have said to use canned air, others have said taking it apart. Its a known Samsung issue which I think is why they keep the home button.
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] joefloater:
This video made me laugh my ass off until I thought, what the heck, and tried it on my wifes phone and it worked.

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=KXSbBG4NV-w

I removed the back cover to get closer to the button and flicked the crap out of both sides of the power button until my finger was killing me, it has been two weeks now with no recurrence of the problem.
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] vbetts:
If you want to disable the power key in the future, it's under system/usr/keylayout/sec_powerkey.kl

When you open it up you should see this,

key 116 POWER WAKE

To disable it, just change it to this.

#key 116 POWER WAKE

Just make sure to back it up first.
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] tjmannos:
You have got to be kidding me. This actually worked. I had previously taken it to a repair shop, and after taking it apart and fiddling with the button and motherboard, they declared it unfixable. I guess they (and I) never thought to physically flick the power button with a fingernail. Hmmm... Thanks for the tip!

Hey Guys,

*** This is for those guy's phone which the previous method of fixing did not work. ***

I did a really AWESOME and Quick Fix to my Samsung Galaxy S3 I747M, I took out the cover button of the power button and stuffed a moderate amount of tissue to cover and support the cover in its place. It is abit harder to press, but it works normal as now it the pressure applier is not nearly as hard as it was before.

Thanks

[Ubuntu Touch General] Aremis117:
Hey guys

I have a completely unlocked ls970 and it is currently running cyanogenmod and I am enjoying it a ton but I would love to play with UBU Touch. Has anyone made a good and working install?

I am working on it myself but I have had errors in trying to do it.

For example:

In trying to mount UBU Touch from Clockwork backup I get this

Install Zip > /0 > preinstalled-touch-armel+mako.zip

Then it will error at

Installing Update. . .
assert failed: getprop("ro.product.device") == "mako" || getprop("ro.build.product") == "mako"
E: Error in /data/media/0/[The rom]
status 7
Installation Aborted

The packages I have came from the ubuntu forums and can be easily found. I assumed that the errors were because of the build.prop but the install should still go for the firmware upgrade..... Right?

Anyways I am working on it but it is going really slowly. I want to make a set of packages for someone to just download and do it if they want to. I have dualbooted android and cyanogenmod (didn't actually -rm my memory and it did a dual boot without partitioning and it didn't show any of the other stuff) and it worked successfully.

If someone made a package or has one that will work please post!
[Ubuntu Touch General] nikwen:
Oh, the file "preinstalled-touch-armel+mako.zip" is for mako/Nexus 4. It does not work on any other phone. Feel lucky that it did not brick your phone.

Maybe have a look at this one: http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=2651425
[Ubuntu Touch General] Aremis117:
I understand that but the phones have pretty much the same hardware. There's like 2 different systems between the two and that's battery and something or another with the sound card. I got another armel package to work and ubut booted for a second and then it crashed, the phone reset, and it went into android.

Plus, the most bricked I have gotten is with the original installation on the phone. I also backed up everything so I could just format and reflash the ROM. No biggie.
[Ubuntu Touch General] Aremis117:
There is also packages youi need prior to actually doing any of that and to be honest my laptop screeming at me I DON'T HAVE THIS HURR is a little annoying.

[General Questions and Answers] ahawkua:
I have rooted all of my Android phones and I'm worried about it. I just don't want my phone to be useless eventually. Is it safe to be rooted? Like will being rooted cause my phone to become useless?
[General Questions and Answers] angruvidal:
Why would it be useless? The big concerns are making sure you perform root correctly, making sure you get updates here vs. expecting the OTA on a rooted phone, and warranty-related issues (warrany is void once rooted, which is easily detected). Otherwise, you end up with more capability, not less. Shouldn't be a problem...
[General Questions and Answers] ahawkua:
So rooting phones in the future shouldn't cause a bricked phone?
[General Questions and Answers] Trozzul:
it should not unless you maybe flash a new app that requires root like flashing fonts have a chance of possible bricks, but if you let them sit at the current rom they are on and becareful with what you download and use you should be fine :) so i have bricked twice out of my 16+ devices and they are from Flashing the wrong rom.
[General Questions and Answers] justmpm:
Before you mess with your device too much, make sure you are comfortable flashing the stock firmware. Some OEMs have a special tool for this or you might have to use something like fastboot. Once you have root, you will probably want to install a custom recovery. Make sure you know how to create and restore a nandroid back up. Most problems can be fixed by restoring a back up and most of the others can be fixed by reflashing the stock firmware.

[G2 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ilovecats:
I'm on a 2 week old AT&T G2 running the official KitKat (via OTA). Today I had an incident where I had torch on (via the Google Play app store, app named Torch written by Santoso Wijaya), then left it to auto turn off. However, apparently either the app or KK has a bug that caused the phone to heat up with the app running in the foreground while both the screen and the camera LED were off. By the time I felt it in my pocket, the phone had become toasty hot, and battery had drained from about 40% to 5% over a span of about an hour, but the phone did not shut itself down. I immediately rebooted it myself.

My question is: is the heat most likely caused by the CPU running at 100%? Is it likely to cause any damage given the scenario? Shouldn't the phone auto shut down to protect itself since it was running so hot (by the way it was *really* hot, like much hotter than the phone ever felt to me, even when I was playing games over LTE etc), or was it still not hot enough for that (which hopefully means it was safe?)?

Thanks for your inputs.
[G2 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] XxZombiePikachu:
My question is why are you using a torch from play store when the phone has one on stock already, and yes the phone has a feature where if the battery/cpu hit a specific temp it should either a)throttle to cool down or b)auto reboot so I find that strange if you would have know the battery temp I could have told you if test it should have auto rebooted or not
[G2 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] jcmaddox1:
It is probably completely fine. The processors in these phones have safety measures to shut themselves off when they get too hot, and they can also handle VERY hot temperatures. I remember my nexus 4 would get EXTREMELY hot, to the point it hurt to touch sometimes, and it's still doing fine :P
