Hard reset.

Hi!

I can´t say for sure if OP tried of course, but in my sad experience OP does have a point (intentionally or otherwise).

I did check for answers and found the thread you refer to.

For me, hard reset didn´t do the trick.

Upon reset the tablet found my home Network all right and hooked up. I was thrilled - problem solved. :laugh:

Now 2 hours later i´m sitting at my desk at work and the -905 can´t find any networks whatsoever. Depite that my Note 3 clearly detects 2 strong wi-fi networks and 2 weak ditto (on & off).

I am somewhat less than extatic. :crying:

Reboot twice, flightmode on/of. Nothing seems to make any difference.

By my count there are now at least 3 users that report this issue. It may be a bit early but i see a pattern in the far Horizon.

Thoughts & inputs are appreciated.

Regards

Well,

another option if still have issues, but can maybe go to a local bestbuy with the samsung experience and i would think they should be able to hook it up and do their version of odin and get it all fixed up for ya.. jsut a thought and that might get you fixed up

Hi!

Thanks for the interest & taking the time to ansver.

Living in a small arctic town however (approximately 1500 people) in Greenland we don´t have a lot of bestbuys around here.

I have considered reflashing the rom using Odin myself. If it solves the issue it´s a fairly hassle free repair.

3 people out of several hundred thousand isn't a pattern.

However, losing WiFi after an update is a common Android bug. A reflash (particularly the modem) usually solves it.
[Galaxy Note Pro 12.2 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Polar67:
Hi!

Statistically i quite agree. Completely off topic I was referring to the old proverb: "Once is chance, twice is coincidence, third time is a pattern".

On topic though it gives me great dissatisfaction to report that reflashing the rom did nothing to remedy the issue.

Downloading the entire rom from Sammobile, latest Odin, MD5# checked out. In short, all i´s dotted & all t´s crossed.

The -905 was sublimely indifferent - this is hastily converging towards frustration :(

Thoughts appreciated - otherwise i´ll probably just try again.

[Galaxy Note Pro 12.2 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Polar67:
Solved!

Hi

Found it! It´s Passpoint that´s the culprit.

The whys and the hows i haven´t got but i´d downgraded to the old rom - reacquired Wifi - subsequently re-upgraded and Poof like evil magic, wifi was gone.

I muddled about in the wifi settings and was just about to admit defeat, when i shut Passpoint off - simply because i never use it, and the -905 said "Let there be Wifi" :angel:

Afterwards i found out that once wifi is detected and connected i can start passpoint up Again. Then if i move out of coverage and back in again the problem starts all over. Not a big issue since i keep passpoint shut down for now but there you have it.

Hi,

I have a GPS reciever (bluetooth) an i have been looking everywhere for GPS software that wont cost me anything or i wont need to remortgage my house anyway.

Prefer the nothing part though!!! so anyone have ideas of where to find any?

[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam General] Christos:
Hi Dave,

Without meaning to be flippant, that really depends on what you want to do?

Presumably if you are loooking for free or cheap software, the likes of TomTom and iGo are out of the question? These are two of the better known route planning packages - I.e. get me from A to B - but cost. I'm not aware of any free or cheap alternatives.

If you want to know where you are - e.g. just show your position on a map, Windows Live Search beta or Navizon both do this for free (you'll need an inclusive data plan though as both download maps).

There are also moving map programs (e.g. Fugawi or Oziexplorer), although most require some form of raster map (£££) and are not free themselves.

If you find a good, free (or cheap) moving map package, please let me know!

Doesn't exists a free lunch... They wan't something very valuable, your personal data and they want to sell some part of your time to companies. How?

Is easy. Do you know in economical terms the meaning of RESOURCE? Is something that other people want, they would like to pay to have. The water IS a resource and the value and the price are related to the amount available and the request for this resource. But we have a LOT of water here, so the price is low.

SALT was a resource, then they have discovered new technologies to preserve meat and to obtain salt, but we still have SALARY (cames from SALT, SALE in italian) and SALARIA road in Italy...

The diamonds are something more requested and easy to understand, but try to think to something different: health or... your time! Having part of your time means to sell something to you and grabbing some of your money. All the money you earn is something to conquer.

So as an example you have TV movie for "free" (it seems they are free, you will pay later, in the supermarket :) )

You have it for free but they shared your full name, Lucid (AKA Mike H......... ?) :)

I prefer to give 100 Euros to Route 66, save connection time and battery and keep my personal data. Remember latins? Do you now what trojan horse is? (the FIRST one!) Troians found a wonderful giant horse and they want to bring inside the city (Troy) Only one said: TIMEO DANAOS ET DONA FERENTES , I am afraid of greeks, even when they bring gifts! I am afraid of companies EXPECIALLY when they brings gifts! we all knows the Troy story...

Windows Live Search

Try http://wls.live.com

Download the Pocket PC version

You have to have a data account to download the maps in real time. It does not point you in the direction you are headed. In other words the screen is always pointing north. However, it is fun to see the GPS in action. You must create a Com Port to the BT receiver and configure the options in the program to use the BT receiver. Not a full featured driving GPS solution but a good mapping solution.

I tested Pocket street, Tom Tom 6 and Route 66. Then I had a Garmin eMap,now a Quest an tested an eTreck and a Nuvi.

TT6, R66,Nuvi are for city nav (are useless off road), simulated 3d nav. Nuvi has a great screen, TT6 and R66 are more or less the same, chose the one most updated from users for your area (I mean Point of Interest, POI, speed traps,...)

Quest iis great also on the sea and offroad, a great trackback function, really water proof, 20 ours of continuous functioning. Pocket street doesn't have routing capability, you just have gps info and the point on the map.

Quest (450 euro)if you have money, MS pocket street if you havent (25 euro) 200 (GPS+Sw+1gb SD) for TT6 and R66. If yuo like sailing, flying or trekking... Garnin!

I've used many GPS's thur the last few years and hove found that the Garmin products are all at the top of the list.

I just loaded Garmin Que on my 8525 and works great. I'm very use to the interface as it is very close to all the stand alone Garmin GPS I've used.

Garmin Que only works with a Garmin GPS receviver.

TomTom are checking this forum for illegal distribution of their software.

The fact that an aberrant alpha particle managed to penetrate the atmosphere and cause your map disk irrepairable damage is unfortunate.

Consider speaking to TomTom for a replacement.

Otherwise, search the board for TomTom and see what I've had to say about getting hold of non-retail copies of it.

I tried the Delorme product and TomTom 6 (I DID purchase them). I think Tom Tom 6 is just about as good as the one built into my car.

Come on folks, MOST of the software that runs on a pocketPC is not that expensive! Don't cause this place to shut down because you are too tight to lay out a few dollars.

If you can afford a PocketPC phone, you can probably afford to purchase the software that you need/want.

What, precisely, must be done to unlock the bootloader for an SM-G900A or SM-G900T? Must something cryptographically be broken? If I get root access through towelroot, will that help? Are the people at the AT&T store capable of doing this bootloader unlock if pursuaded to do so?

[Xperia Z Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] specter16:
Hi

i have xperia z c6602 with stock 4.4.4 rooted ROM (10.5.1.A.0.283)

now i've heard about dual recovery (PhilZTouch N CWM) and i'm seeing it strange idea because i see that just one recovery can do the job !

so, i just want to know what are the advantages/disadvantages of dual recovery

if it's safe and good to deal with only one recovery, which one to install

thanks in advance.

cheers...
[Xperia Z Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] kingvortex:
The dual recovery is the only choice if you're on a locked bootloader. Just use the recovery you prefer and don't worry about there being another one installed as well.
[Xperia Z Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] specter16:
okay, i have an unlocked bootloader and i just want to work with only one recovery

which one to deal with ?
[Xperia Z Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] kingvortex:
I don't understand the problem. If you don't want to use the other recovery, then don't. It literally does not matter at all if there's another one installed. Just don't boot into the one you don't want to use. Simple.

Use this if you just want a stock kernel with recovery and no other modifications.
[Xperia Z Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] specter16:
okay, if it really does not matter at all, for which reason it is present and installed on the device.

why the developper managed to deal with this idea ?

have any user woke up one day and he said "okay today i'm gonna work with the second recovery today ?!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

the recovery is used to just make backups and install some mods with just some few additional options
[Xperia Z Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] kingvortex:
Some people prefer a different recovery to other people, so they have a choice. Why does it matter to you? Don't use the second recovery. The end.

Wow. Some people worry about the strangest things. :confused:
[Xperia Z Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] specter16:
nothing was made with coincidence

every thing has a reason

the developper was managed to made a dual recovery just for a small reason that you don't know, because of that you said that i can just work with one of the recoveries and let the other one

in my opinion, i think that the reason of making dual recoveries is that some custom roms are not compatible with some recoveries (specially cwm)

so when we have dual recoveries, we can flash any custom rom using it's compatible recovery

that's the idea that i have

now as i'm on stock rom and i just need a recovery to do backups and wipes (maybe installing some mods later)

so i just need one single recovery

so which one is good, stable (like 4ext recovery on my old htc sensation)
[Xperia Z Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] kingvortex:
Well, you obviously know better than everyone else here, so why don't you just try them out for yourself.

I flashed many ROMs in this forum. All done with *dual* recovery. No problems at all. Except the ROM bugs.

The developer made it like that so you can choose any of the recoveries. They all will work for any thing.

[Xperia Z2 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] in_core:
Hello I am planning to switch from LG G2 to a new phone.

I am currently looking at my options, which include:

1. Xperia Z2

2. Xperia Z3 Compact

3. Xperia Z1 Compact

4. HTC One M8

5. Others

I want a reliable phone for a long time period usage (atleast 1.5yrs without any hardware issue whatsoever). I dont get warranty support in my country sadly, so hardware reliability is a big concern!!

Please share the common issue you guys have faced using Z2 and help me decide whether I should spend a little more and get the M8, or get the Z3 Compact (Z3 C and Z2 costs the same in my country) or save up and get the Z1 Compact instead.

Thanks
[Xperia Z2 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Envious_Data:
Go get any xperia but a Z2 because there is no garuntee that you will not get a flawless unit

You do have a decent posibility of getting a defective unit

I recomend Z3, Z or ZU if you want a powerful device

Z2 is only problematic due to the change of manufacturer, Z3 isnt a problem, all units ive used show no problems where 60% of Z2s showed problems
[Xperia Z2 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] in_core:
Can you please mentions the specific type of issues you came across?

The major problem I found so far for Xperia Z3 Compact (doing internet research, specially on xda-forum) is the USB flaps dont get into place and thus its not flush with the body. I dont exactly need the water proofing much, but its a hardware level concern :(
[Xperia Z2 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Envious_Data:
Z2 -

Gaps in frame(no waterproofing and also dust damage on screen)

Easy breakable flaps

Dust problems due to gaps or flaps

Easily scratches on the back

Overheating issue(they are quite bad)

Camera fails to work(some units)

Potential random death(some units)

Buttons break easy(some units)

Random lag (earlier units)

Random reboots (some units)

Screen death (seems all units have posibility)

Yellow tint (??? Random it seems)

Dead pixels (earlier units)

Etc etc etc

Much more ... Less damaging problems

You have a high posibility to have atleast 3 of these problems

Z3- standard release units have been noted to have no issues at all exept minor heating under exteme load, and the power button becoming lose

[Xperia Z2 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Envious_Data:
Its only Z2 and around with problems due to the new manufacturer, rest are fine

Xperias have been reliable for me since 2010

I had an xperia S which somehow out lived a Nokia 3310

And this Z2 aside the Heating issue has been tougher than my mothers iphone 5

Xperias arent bad as people say, its Just Z2 because of that change of manufacturer

As for Z3, ive found no problems at all, all of the Z3s, the show room ones the developer ones or the imported ones my freinds have, none of them have any problems

Im starting to think %90 of complains about other xperias are lies because ive used alot of them and alot of the same types and half the problems dont exist

Z2 is the only one which has shown atleast half of the complaints are true this time
