I updated my C6833 via the Sony Update Service tool to 4.4.4 and have noticed since the update that my wifi drops in and out and it seems to show that it is running on my mobile data network for a brief second whilst wifi is connected. I don't remember this happening in the past.

Has anyone else experienced this issue?
[Sony Xperia Z Ultra] tsiros:
can you try something for me, please?

install a terminal emulator, like juice SSH. run it and connect to 'localhost'.

go very near your router and do

ping your router's IP

let it run for a while, see the response times. are they consistent or do they fluctuate?

stop it by pressing ctrl+c

exit by either closing the window or pressing ctrl+d if your keyboard has it (like hacker's keyboard)
[Sony Xperia Z Ultra] julz:
WiFi was really bad this morning. Connecting, disconnecting and reconnecting every 1-2 seconds. So I tried switching to the 2.4ghz channel of my router from the 5ghz and it seems to be stable now. Not sure if my router or phone is the issue.
[Sony Xperia Z Ultra] Sadman Khan:
No issues for me. Using C6833 ftf on C6802
[Sony Xperia Z Ultra] Lightbird:
did you ever tryed a custom rom that required to unlock the bootloader? Often had that which a 4.4.3 or 4.4.4 nightly build from CyagenMod after updating.

solution for me: restore TA-Keys and use the repair option in the Update Centre.
[Sony Xperia Z Ultra] tsiros:
stock rom, never rooted, never unlocked bootloader.
[Sony Xperia Z Ultra] julz:
im on stock rom and have never unlocked the bootloader (only rooted).
[Sony Xperia Z Ultra] PamelaGirl:
Hello Good People,

My device is doing the same thing. I awoke to a device with a drained battery due to the wifi connecting and disconnecting every few seconds.

And other tips?

Sony Xperia 4.4.4 Stock and rooted

T.I.A.
[Sony Xperia Z Ultra] PamelaGirl:
A month later and still no response on the wifi issue?
[Sony Xperia Z Ultra] sw6lee:
Have you tried factory reset? Since no one is able to help, I'm guessing that's the logical step.
[Sony Xperia Z Ultra] PamelaGirl:
Yes, I am on Stock ROM, did a reset and still the same thing.

The device connects and disconnects over and over till the phone gets hot, and drains the battery :(
[Sony Xperia Z Ultra] tsiros:
i guess we have to accept that this is just bad engineering, either software or hardware.

Next phone is not going to be android... already my zu is slowly dying, usb port doesn't connect very well, i have to keep the cable very straight (have tried at least ten cables, it's not a problem with the cable) to have a good connection... and i am sick of firefox losing pages and redownloading them costing me time and money.
[Sony Xperia Z Ultra] PamelaGirl:
So annoying!

Can we all say "planned obsolescence"!
[Sony Xperia Z Ultra] RealityFails:
Are you on a custom rom?
[Sony Xperia Z Ultra] PamelaGirl:
I am on stock Rom 4.4.4
[Sony Xperia Z Ultra] RealityFails:
Hmm i was on stock with no issues, I suggest you flash stone HD kitkat rom it's based on stock and can be flashed with locked bootloader
[Sony Xperia Z Ultra] PamelaGirl:
Thanks!

Will give it a try :)
[Sony Xperia Z Ultra] PamelaGirl:
Well, got StoneHD Rom up and running, nice Rom!

But still the same Wifi issue of connecting and disconnecting constantly, thus making the phone hot and draining the battery ever so quickly!

:(
[Sony Xperia Z Ultra] RealityFails:
I think you have bad hardware, have you tried to turn off always scanning?
[Sony Xperia Z Ultra] PamelaGirl:
Yes, "always scanning" is off.

Could be a bum phone!

Sometimes the wifi connects, and its good. Other times it’s a no go.

Any chance of modifying the wifi script?

T.I.A.
[Galaxy Note Pro 12.2 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] acejavelin:
Sorry if this has been asked and answered, but why are there not any ROMs for the SM-P9000, I mean this tablet has been out for several months and there is still nothing? Not complaining, just curious...
[Galaxy Note Pro 12.2 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] nrage23:
It costs too much and has a very small user base.
[Galaxy Note Pro 12.2 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] acejavelin:
Hmm... Makes sense. Thanks for the answer.
[Galaxy Note Pro 12.2 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] tdetroit:
The price is dropping-slowly. Maybe once the prices drop to a more reasonable rate, folks will buy it and more interest will grow in building Roms. I bought mine the second day it arrived on Verizon, just glad that the Verizon version finally got rooted and I was able to install my Root-Only apps and Xposed.
[Galaxy Note Pro 12.2 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ddavtian:
I agree, after root you remove/freeze bloatware, add all the apps to multi-window and pen window, use xposed modules, it's as good as a custom ROM.
[Galaxy Note Pro 12.2 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] tdetroit:
Yup! Can't wait until we either get Safestrap or break the Bootloader so we can have Custom Kernels....but for right now-I'm ok with it. It runs so much better since I've removed all the bloatware.
[Galaxy Note Pro 12.2 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] canezila:
Also, there is a few really great market apps that supplement the multi window and add most other apps too.
[Galaxy Note Pro 12.2 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] muzzy996:
Yeah the only thing I wish I could do is customize the look of the notification and quick settings shade. Wanam is only partially helpful with this (increased the number of quick tiles thats about it).

I primarily use the tablet in landscape mode and it irks the crap out of me that the entire screen isn't utilized. Having the screen underneath visible on the left and right quarters of the screen is meaningless to me when they're forcing me to scroll vertically through notifications due to lack of width so I'd like to either reduce the font sizes in the shade (system wide LCD density screws up stock keyboard) or have more flexibility on the layout.
[Galaxy Note Pro 12.2 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ddavtian:
Have you tried app settings module in xposed? You could change system DPI and then use this module to change any app DPI back to default if they don't behave.
[Galaxy Note Pro 12.2 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] muzzy996:
Yeah if memory serves this fixed full sized landscape keyboard layout but there were other issues with the other modes of the keyboard. It's been a while though, are you using it that way?
[Galaxy Note Pro 12.2 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ddavtian:
I use that module to lower DPI for some apps. Many system apps don't look good at custom resolution.
[Galaxy Note Pro 12.2 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] larkhillv:
Except that Touchwiz is still annoying to deal with and bogs down the system. Even with a pretty high clock dual-quad-core processor, I still experience some stutters and "slow" app launches, etc.

Custom ROMs or a stock ROM for this tablet while keeping pressure sensitivity for the S Pen in tact would be amazing. Not to mention that this tablet doesn't get horrible battery life, but it would far better running a more stock experience with something like Franco Kernel.

It's pretty disappointing that this tablet is basically zero dev support, but it's not surprising since it's such a niche tablet. Most consumers don't want a huge tablet, plus the price tag is pretty high. With a screen this large, it also makes sense to have an actual keyboard, which adds even more to the cost.

This tablet would be even more amazing with dev support, but don't hold your breath because it likely will never get any love. We'd be lucky to get a single stable custom ROM project before this becomes a piece of "outdated" kit.
[Galaxy Note Pro 12.2 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] kirbymaster101:
I hope we get cyanogenmod at least. hate touchqiz.
[Galaxy Note Pro 12.2 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] nrage23:
I have owned the Note 8.0, the Note 10.1 2014, and now the Note Pro 12.2. I do not understand why some one spends the extra money for a device with the S Pen and then wants a rom that will make the S Pen utterly useless. Besides that, The Note 8.0 did get Cyanogenmod but the Note 10.1 2014 has not as yet gotten anything but customized Touchwiz roms.
[Galaxy Note Pro 12.2 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] GMAN1722:
I agree 100%. Whenever, people ask me for my opinion as to what tablet to get (or rather should they get what i have - either the note 8.0 or the note pro) I actually tend to steer them away from the note series. I explain to them that if they are not going to use the S-Pen extensively then they should get another tablet with better specs (one that is more optimized for gaming or watching video). As far as I'm concerned the S-Pen is the selling point of the Note series tablets - so why render it useless or even limit the capabilities of it with a Rom that would do that?

P.S. In regards to getting a tablet optimized for gaming or watching video I just picked up a Galaxy Tab S 8.4 (for my wife;)) from Best Buy. I wasn't really in the market for another tablet but they have a deal where you can trade in your working tablet (that's in their database) and get $50 off (or even more if the value of it is worth more) plus another $50 off toward the purchase of a Galaxy Tab S tablet. They will allow up to two tablets to trade in. Since my wife and I both had HTC Flyers lying around collecting dust we decided to trade them in. Combined with other Best Buy discounts I got a total of $171 off :cool:. Because of this it made me just purchase it (did I say it was for my wife:laugh:) The display is stunning.
[Galaxy Note Pro 12.2 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] larkhillv:
I haven't owned a Note device prior to this one, but I doubt that devs are incapable of rummaging through Samsung's code and finding the bits that pertain to S Pen functionality. The sensors are built into the device--the rest is software. With all the crazy stuff that devs can do on Nexus devices, I'd think that a clever dev could maintain the S Pen functions while offering a more stock experience.

It's pretty sad that Samsung forces such an annoying, heavy UI on its consumers when other OEMs are moving closer to a stock experience. I wouldn't even have the desire for a custom ROM on this tablet if it were closer to stock Android. But there are just annoying bits like the headhphone volume warning every time I want to turn up the volume. Does Sammy really think its consumers are so idiotic that they can't handle their own volume controls without going deaf?
[Galaxy Note Pro 12.2 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] GMAN1722:
Yea, there are a lot of stupid little annoyances with Touchwiz (not to mention the excessive bloatware). But in my experience with the Note devices it is much better to have a Touchwiz base custom Rom rather than removing it altogether. Even though the devs do a remarkable job, once you remove Touchwiz there are just too many issues to deal with in getting the same functionality out of the S-Pen that you have actually paid more for.It just doesn't seem to be integrated enough once you remove Touchwiz. To me it seems as if it becomes just a regular tablet that you can use a stylus on with apps that call for it. And if that is the case I would just buy, say a Tab Pro and a stylus. Also in regards to those little annoyances (and the bloatware) there are plenty of modules that can be used to minimize them. This tablet would be perfect if CivZ was able to make a custom rom and kernel like he has done for the Note 8.0:good:
[Galaxy Note Pro 12.2 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] sanvara:
Price shouldn't be an issue anymore. Price on refurbs is pretty low. I just picked up the Note Pro 12.2 for $429 - 13% ebay bucks = $375
[Galaxy Note Pro 12.2 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] canezila:
Permissive kernel would be great
[Galaxy Note Pro 12.2 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] gorcutt:
Guys,

Just freeze all stuff you find to be non sense, heavy, resource intensive or you just don't like, install Xposed Framework, Nova Launcher or other of your taste and voila, you get a totally customized rom without loosing any of the native features of the Samsung original rom. You don't need to have a miscellany of custom roms to be happy. I totally agree about having a very expensive device and not using its native features. Nonsense. It's not only the hardware, but the software implementation that it's also awesome. I believe samsung was the first to implement multi window in an android device and IMHO it's better then Halo (I believe this is the name).

My first tablet was a xoom and I still have it. Old hardware, slow, but its construction quality reminds me the iPad. With OmniRom it performs just well. After it I only had Samsung Note tablets and phones. All disposable, peace of junk if you compare to the quality of the iPad, or even with the xoom, but the project is absolutely great. Hardware and software working in perfect tune. Disposable, but while it's working it's just great. And of course, if you take good care of it, it will last some years (don't drop it please). So, keep it original, that's the great thing on the Note line of tablets (and phones), customize it with the tools available around and you'll see how good these tablets can be. Having good customized and optimized TW roms is always good, but similar results can be achieved without flashing a single zip.

Root is a must!
[Galaxy Note Pro 12.2 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] muzzy996:
Does freezing ALWAYS work? Seems to work for most bloatware apps but some system processes refuse to die when frozen, and I'm not sure if its because some modules are interdependent or what.

If memory serves when I froze all Knox related entries I could find in Titanium I could still see Knox related entries cached in RAM. It wasn't running in the foreground but it was there. I ended up uninstalling the apps instead in order to get rid of them for good.

I have pagebuddynotisvc frozen right now and it's currently taking up 31MB in cache.
[Galaxy Note Pro 12.2 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] dodo99x:
Just make a backup of the unwanted app and completely uninstall it instead of freezing it.
[Galaxy Note Pro 12.2 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] mikespe:
I agree that roms aren't really needed for the Note Pro because of all the functionality you can get with just root & Xposed. But I wish they would find a way to revert the Knox counter back to zero. Once you install TWRP it trips the Knox counter and the warranty is voided. At least before you could restore your device back to stock & no one would know when you had warranty issues. Even if you Odin a stock rom the KNox counter still keeps it's data.

I'm running TWRP, Xposed. Nova Launcher (with a shortcut back to the TW Mag UX) and I love the Note Pro. It has been replacing my Acer Ultrabook little by little. Plus Hancom Office pretty much seals the deal as the Note Pro being a PC Killer. Video editing & heavy photo editing are the only drawbacks as a PC replacement. As I find more Xposed modules that I need (I only have 5 modules installed currently) the Note Pro just gets better!!!

[Galaxy Note II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] verny94:
Try hard reset and reflash ROM. ;)
[Galaxy Note II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] singhpratik87:
I can't remember the exact path in 4.4.2 TW ROM since I'm running aosp ROM at the moment but this has something to do with settings in accessibility search for this solution in phantom thread or dn3 thread. If you disable that then you'll be able to select another language for keyboard and swiping the space bar will switch it.
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] MV10:
As everyone knows, GPS cold-start is very slow.

Is anyone aware of an app which would kick off GPS after reboot so that it acquires the basic satellite and location information needed to do a warm- or hot-start later on? Seems like it would be an easy thing to do -- probably preferably delayed so that other more important boot-time processes can do their thing.

Note I'm not interested in one of those scripting apps, I'd prefer a dedicated app, if one exists.
[Galaxy Tab 3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ronnyg1:
I understand the Samsung Tab 3 7.0 doesn't support OTG, but I want to use the tablet as a monitor connected to my DSLR and use the DSLR control app from the play store. Since I'm not trying to move flies, do you think it will still work, or since there isn't OTG support it will not recognized the camera?
[Galaxy Tab S General] toyanucci:
When setting up the tablet I signed into my Samsung apps account and if I check for products registered to me, the tab s shows up there, but I haven't received any email re my perks.

How do I go about getting the perks?
[Galaxy Tab S General] rsfinsrq:
I may be mistaken, but it's my understanding that you need to sign into the new Galaxy Apps Store that will be released tomorrow, 7/1 to receive the perks email. Maybe someone with more info can chime in here.
[Galaxy Tab S General] toyanucci:
OK, thanks, it does mention some Galaxy apps business but I figured it was the regular Samsung apps store they were referring to. I'll wait till tomorrow then, was just wondering if anyone had gotten registered and gotten the perks email.

Thanks for taking the time to reply!
[Galaxy Tab S General] jboogie555:
Sorry for dumb question. What exactly is the perks?
[Galaxy Tab S General] xRevilatioNx:
All the freebies that Samsung throws in, for purchasing the device. "Galaxy Gifts" such as the movie Gravity, 3 months of Marvel Comics , 50 Gig Dropbox to name a few. They're a bunch more.
[Galaxy Tab S General] avenging:
well i just hope they dont take away the marvel ones for saudi :victory:
[Galaxy Tab S General] troysbama1:
Not sure if people realize this but the dropbox addition comes from going into settings/accounts and logging into Dropbox. The movie gravity becomes available when you sign into Play - Movies $ TV. No idea about the comics subscription and certainly curious as to what the others will be.
[Galaxy Tab S General] clintonroche:
Most of the perks are available now but logging into the app. I got the movie and the 50gb by doing that.
[Galaxy Tab S General] rsfinsrq:
I think the email that gets sent once you log into the new Galaxy Apps provides instructions on how to receive the gifts. Most are obvious like those already listed in this thread. Others like the free subscription to Go-Go in-flight internet requires you to log in during a flight to enroll. Hopefully it will be clear once the new app is launched.
[Galaxy Tab S General] Zeblade:
Yes you can get them now you dont have to wait till 7/1. When I sent the 16gb version back last Thursday (for the 32gb version) i had the move Gravity and all the rest of the perks
[Galaxy Tab S General] toyanucci:
Any sign of the elusive Galaxy apps store?
[Galaxy Tab S General] Jadefalkon:
I finally messed around with my tablet today a little before work and downloaded most of the stuff that interest me. THE Marvel subscription, GQ, some apps like Box and hand of the other magazines that are available. The app was a widget on my desktop, I just opened it and it let me choose what I wanted. The only things I don't recall seeing is the WiFi subscription service, but I was in a rush so I may have overlooked it.
[Galaxy Tab S General] gottahavit:
Something to watch. I just signed up for the marvel unlimited through the app, but it did not appear to apply the 3 month trial. I have an email out to marvel, we'll see what they say.
[Galaxy Tab S General] clintonroche:
Did you use this app?
[Galaxy Tab S General] Jadefalkon:
I've checked and I'm not seeing four of the perks which seem to be the ones they say you'll receive an email for. Gogo inflight Wifi, SiriusXM, Audible and Stitcher comedy programming are not showing up for me. I have the 32gb version from Bestbuy which for some reason isn't listed on the Samsung website when trying to register it, i'm not sure if this has anything to do with the perks since te other offers are there. I've contacted Samsung on Facebook but it doesn't seem to be moving very fast.

Update: I went through the "Ask Samsung" tab on their Facebook support page and received the email with the instructions and necessary codes for all four offers hours later. As previously mentioned by another poster the GoGo wifi can only be activated while in a flight.
[Galaxy Tab S General] Mr Dasher:
I think a lot of the perks depend on the country your tablet is registered to. When I registered my Note Pro 12.2 (Canada) I didn't get all the advertised perks I.e. Playstore credit, etc.
[Galaxy Tab S General] gottahavit:
Yes
[Galaxy Tab S General] toyanucci:
So I had a live chat with them about my lack of perks. Their suggestion, remove Samsung accounts and sign back in. I did and got an email saying I already received the perks, so back to live chat I went. 45 minutes later, they said I'd be emailed in 2 business days with the perks. I was emailed this morning by Adam M, with ONLY the audible code. I've replied to his email and also went back on live chat and am awaiting the other codes, I travel a lot and especially need the gogo in flight Internet code! So I await a reply from him before the end of the day or I'll ditch live chat altogether and just call them, but I don't know why they'd only send audible and waste my time in having to run them down for the others...not a very efficient use for any of our time.
[Galaxy Tab S General] topaz330:
i'm curious as well on how the gogo promo will work. From reading the details it seems like all we need to do is get on a flight and login from the tab s and register from there. Nothing is clear though so who knows.
[Galaxy Tab S General] Zeblade:
32gb best buy.. same as others. What a nightmare getting this stuff lol. Deleted account so many times no codes. Talk to live blah blah blah.

Got the same email about audible books yet nothing else. I call they tell me 1-3 days I would get the rest. No big deal
[Galaxy Tab S General] SysAdmNj:
So how do I get this free audible app? And how many audible books do we get?
[Galaxy Tab S General] gambit3rd:
Could someone post the Marvel Unlimited apk? It should grant 3 months to any Samsung device as the old Kindle APK did before. Nope?
