Hello I got a note 4 and I have noticed that wifi signal connecting my router or other free wifi signal is not realy the "best thing" is quite hard .I got a note 3 neo,xcover,s3 ,a sony a iphone 4 and all of then havea bettar wifi connection.So I was woundering if,without louseng the Warranty with root,if there was a setting entering with secret codes in a secret menu and chage some settings so that the rx wifi will get bettar.

Anybody know something?

Thank's

I've heard of other models needing the Wi-Fi power saver mode disabled but rarely the Note 4.

Open your dialer and dial *#0011# tap the top right menu button and select Wi-Fi; scroll to bottom and tap the button near bottom to turn off.

You may also consider installing Wi-Fi Analytics from Google Play and analyze your network from your phone and compare to another phone on same network/same location (or simply this menu). You may have a hardware issue to resolve before considering root.

I did that but I dident noticed any chage so I will keep it like it was.I can tell u what I test .If I set the router max 56 mbps or max 130 Mbps then I have a good signal if I set ot max 270 Mbps then signal is realy very week.Now I dont know if that maybe change olso frequency of wifi and maybe taht is the probelm with the note 4 but I'm sure handy haves problem.I sort it out just setting max 56 Mbps Will be interesting to know if is possibol to change some settings on note 4 so taht olso on max 270 Mbps signal in rx will e "good" as example a free wifi in my village I think is on max 270 Mbps because my note 3 meo can connect wifi in the train instead note 4 dont have any wifi signal :)

Take care

Comparatively speaking, it's weaker and noted on the locations, applications and dialer code menu, right?

If so, you can exchange it if still within the exchange window (get it back quickly if that applies and don't take no for an answer). Otherwise, have it evaluated under warranty at point of sale.

I wouldn't settle for having to carry multiple devices to do what one should do unless your employer or business makes that necessary.

Not to judge your ISP provider or Wi-Fi router but your equipment may be generations out of date regarding speed and technology. But if it works to your satisfaction, good enough. Otherwise, your ISP may exchange it. I upgrade my modem and WiFi router myself to avoid the expense of leasing one; over time, it may actually pay for itself both in monetary terms and overall ease and satisfaction. A small investment if making the right timely decision. At the moment there's been movement on both the mobile and WiFi hardware. I adopted WiFi 802.11ac tech too early and now they have doubled ac connection speeds on the Wi-Fi router side. I'll wait to upgrade my WiFi router when I upgrade my phone. I think it makes sense to keep the tech relative to capabilities; upgrading too soon may not be a benefit at all and actually cost more, requiring more frequent and unnecessary upgrades.

Slow gratis WiFi outside the home? I get that too. Bummer.
[Sprint  Galaxy Note 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] helen2:
Ok thank's yes maybe...before was a Netgear dgn2000 now is a router from my ISP but when the wifi probelms are olso withg wifi router of free wifi of my village...ok I dont realy think they use old thing .

Take care

[Sprint  Galaxy Note 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] samep:
I haven't helped much but you're welcome.

Do you have the option to return the Note 4 for exchange? The opportunity may only be 14 or 15 days so act quickly if you have that opportunity.

I'm thinking the weak WiFi indicates that exchange would be recommended if convenient.

I just reiterated the point because I wasn't sure if that got lost in translation.

Disable connections optimizer. It causes your phone to change connections too often. Disabling actuality increases speed also. If you go to Wifi settings and disable constant scanning your device will not be searching for better connections. You can also force your device to stay connected with a app called Connections Stabilizer ' it directed connection and if it does lose service it resets everything causing a more stabile connection. It works best with super access but is not required.

I have (had) the same issues with my Note 4. It would always prefer mobile over WiFi after I rooted it. It got to the point it would not even connect to WiFi in places that where all ready saved to my device. It was the same on every Samsung based ROM. It kept on popping up that the connections optimizer had stopped. You can just disable it in settings. I just freeze it out on new ROMS now. It solved the WiFi issue for me.
[Sprint  Galaxy Note 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] helen2:
[MENTION=6982171]androodius[/MENTION] that option is off I dont use data (the option ist available only if data is on just because I use a sim from another country so Rouming cost very mutch expecialy if I go online.But the test I did with my Netgear dgn2000 is unfortunatelly ok 100% maybe is a general wifi problem of the note 4.

Take care

PS:I got a tplink Tomorrow I will try olso that router :)
[Sprint  Galaxy Note 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] androodius:
I see. So it's safe to say that you leave your mobile data disconnected all of the time? Although the connections optimizer is in mobile settings it is designed to connect to WiFi. The Note 4 has a very efficient booster built in to it. It works by jumping back and forth between mobile and WiFi. On the Sprint model it is activated with the connections optimizer and/or in WiFi settings. Verizon Note 4s come with it available in settings and in the toggle notifications. With idoneapp you can enable all of the toggles on every carriers note.

I'm not sure what the exact cause of the cause of the problem is but I do know that when it is enabled in any of the 3 ways I mentioned my device stongly favors mobile data. The only way I can make it stay on WiFi is by disabling mobile data.

Are you having the problems with your Wifi so when your mobile is off you are basically getting no data?

Either way you might want to look in to the idoneapp. It has a lot of cool feature. One that may save you money is the hotspot enabler. It unlocks your APNs so you might be able to kick over to some that don't cost as much to use.
[XDA Assist] XDA Visitor:
I'm getting my second phone and its the Asus zenfone. When I first get it what should I do? Should I first charge it fully and then use it or should I just use it and then plug it in later? I really don't want to mess up the battery because my first phone I ever got was the s3 and after four months the battery didn't work that well and two years later now my phone drains quickly that I can't charge my phone with the charger. I connect my phone to my ps4 to charge it. So besides the battery are there any other things I should do? I've never rooted my phone before so should I do it for my zenfone 2? If so what skin should I use, I heard cyanogen mod is very good. Also how can I transfer my contacts and pictures/music to my new phone? If I use a new Google account for my phone can I still transfer my pictures that are associated with my old gmail that is associated with my s 3. Sorry for the long post, I'm really excited for my phone and I want it to rub the best and last me at least 2 years or more.
[XDA Assist] OfficerJimLahey:
Hi, welcome to XDA, and welcome to the Zenfone 2 family! :cowboy:

If it's all right, I will try to answer each question in point form...

Usually when you get a new phone, the battery level is around 60%. I, being impatient (especially with this one), plugged it in then turned it on to use it, until battery level reached 100%, then unplugged.

There is probably big, conflicting discussion about this, but messing up your first charge probably isn't going to ruin your battery or take months off of it's life.

I think best practice is try not to let the level fall below 40% (but don't panic if it does and your day is not yet over), but more importantly, don't leave it on the charger for way longer than needed to get to 100% (the phone's ROM has an estimate of when battery reached 100% to help) - in the same token don't panic if you lay for charge and then fall asleep, waking up in the middle of the night, or even morning when you realize it's still on the charger - just unplug ;).

If you have to charge your S3 with your PS4, it sounds more like your charger adapter died on you.

If you never rooted, although you are missing out on a wide world, there are consequences in that world (safeguards are there for a reason). Bravery is a prerequisite. ;) In short, if you don't need root, I wouldn't bother.

CyanogenMod is a possibility for this device, once your bootloader is unlocked (and only specific versions of the stock ROM allow you to do this). But honestly, for stability, stick with stock for a while, and if you hate it (I personally like it), then can try something different.

If you have used Google services for everything ... photos (Picasa or whatever it's now called), contacts, et cetera, all that should translate to the new phone once you sign in. Music, you will have to copy over from your old phone, the easiest way is to connect to PC via data cable, enable MTP, and collect the files. Then reverse direction for the ZF2.

No worries! :cool:

All i can do is go to my TWRP Recovery... its like a boot loop. Please help. It installs the apps on booting. then just says andriod is about to start and Doesnt.
[Advantage X7500, MDA Ameo General] mackaby007:
Hi all.

Got a problem I hope you all get help me with. It's not directly my problem as my device is OK. My cousin's Ameo has a fault/problem with his Micro Drive.

I have hard reset his WM5 based Ameo but cannot format the hard drive (MD). I've even flashed the WM6 T-Mob005 ROM to it (doesn't need unlocking before flashing). That all went to plan, but still cannot format the MD. The types of error messages I get are:

1) Unable to access Micro drive...there has been a sharing violation

2) Ensure the Micro drive is not in use...

And many other messages relating to the same thing...the MD is somehow locked and will not allow anything to be deleted from it or written to it. It's similar I suppose to a SD card being manually locked by the little slide button on it.

Anyway I've tried Flash Format, Ontrack Easy Recovery and several other 3rd party apps including SKTools and Pocket Mechanic Pro...all have the same problem but display different messages which mean the same thing...cannot access the MD..or exclusive access denied..please ensure the drive is not in use etc etc...I've tried through various apps to shut down any running processes that relate to any activity on the MD, but as the device was hard reset and flashed with a new ROM, there can be no apps running from the MD as none have been installed to it.:(

Finally of some importance I believe; It takes along time to delete even the smallest file from the Micro Drive even though a message pops up that access is denied..it deletes it nonetheless. However on resetting the device..all is back on the MD as if nothing had ever been deleted!

Also tried Recover MD and Format MD from the built-in app and tried formatting using the Resco Explorer version. Oh yeah tried various PC tools to format the MD via WM5torage, but to no avail.

I think the MD is screwed (physically), God knows this device of my cousins has been dropped numerous times. LoL, but seriously, if it's not due to misuse, then it can potentially happen to any one of us who have the spinning mechanical MD, hence my determination to resolve it before it happens to me or anyone else.

Anybody here knowledgeable in the area of Micro Drives or even hard drives to shed some light on this problem?

Thanks for any feedback. ;)
[Advantage X7500, MDA Ameo General] mackaby007:
More developments!

Another interesting point is that the Micro Drive folder is dated 1/1/98.....under Resco Explorer. Go figure!??!

Still at a loss. Meanwhile Olipro's Athena Unlocker worked a treat from beginning to end and it now has the Dopod U1000 WM6 ROM...so it's fully unlocked...yet the MD issue remains..hmmmmm.
[Advantage X7500, MDA Ameo General] johnwalk:
if the microdrive is anything like a hard drive, with spining platters, it wouldnt last very long for day to day use, ive heard of hard drives getting goosed very easily, with a slight knock. I know the ameo is ment to have a fail safe if you drop it. but if yove tried everything you say I would have to guess it was f*ck*d.

I read your post again, I assume the on board software is the same as doing a hard reset with formating the drive!

when you run wm5torage I assume you can see the drive, if youve tried to delete files I assume you can access the drive. Just cant format.

I had the opposite 2 nights ago copying 2 films 1 copyed the other one went through the motion but never got copyed.

a program for the pc that helped me a couple of times was called Swisknife, its like partition magic only free.

I cant think of anything else, ive been out of computers to long now.

Can you copy files from the drive!
[Advantage X7500, MDA Ameo General] mackaby007:
Oh well...the journey continues..

Hi johnwalk & thanks for your reply.;)

All of your assumptions were correct. I can even copy from the MD but not copy to it and it's very slow indeed.

I tried the swissknife app but none of the versions would start up on my PC..hmmm somethings a miss with my PC me thinks.

I managed to delete 'ALL' the files of the MD through WM5torage, but a soft reset of the device puts it all back again. Here I've included a screen-shot of some the crap I saw for the first time today (look at the dates of the files!??! Weird ah?), but it's all gone again now and returned to the normal looking files that I'm trying to get rid of.

Don't worry, I have no expectations, but do appreciate the help you've given me.

Cheers ;)
[Advantage X7500, MDA Ameo General] c0mput0r:
if you can see the microdrive in windows try and run a program called killdisk on it if you dont care about the data that is on there and after that try and format it. killdisk will write all zero's to the drive killing any data on it. You could also try running scandisk and making it check every sector and try to repair bad sectors if it finds any.
[Advantage X7500, MDA Ameo General] Olipro:
that won't work. and can't.

what I suggest doing is holding the volume slider down and pushing in the reset hole, first perform the device reset, then the microdrive reset.

if that does nothing, go into bootloader and use mtty to issue the following commands;

task 28 55aa

task 28 55aa abcd

task 28 abcd

task 8

see if that gets you anywhere
[Advantage X7500, MDA Ameo General] mackaby007:
Thanks for the help mate, but no software can write to the darn MD.:(
[Advantage X7500, MDA Ameo General] mackaby007:
Much appreciate the help Olipro...didn't wanna bother you for a few....;).

Nonetheless, it didn't work in formatting the hard drive, only the device.:(

I swear the things possessed.:)

The message I get all to frequently after trying to format it is: The Microdrive cannot be formatted, there has been a sharing violation. The Microdrive may be in use.
[Advantage X7500, MDA Ameo General] johnwalk:
The picture of your screen shot is what I've had several times on mini sd cards. I can't remember how it happened. im sure it was copying files. of course I could just take out the card. which is of no help here. the first time it happened I was convinced it was the magnet.
[Advantage X7500, MDA Ameo General] mcwtrekkie:
mackaby007,

Looking at you screenshot, i can say that ive seen this on my own advantage. I wasn't trying to add/remove any files, just browse the drive. I remember it was bloody slow, too. It wad taking a good minute to show the folder tree every time I browsed to a new folder. Im not sure what caused it, but thankfully, a soft-reset solved the problem.

I know that's not much help to you, but thought it may be a story worth sharing. Hope you get it sorted :)
[Advantage X7500, MDA Ameo General] mackaby007:
Thanks for all your feedback guys, I appreciate it.;)

Unfortunately, nothing I have tried so far has even come close to working. Well I've got until Saturday to fix it, then my cousin will take it back fixed or otherwise.:)

Suppose he'll have to invest in a 4GB miniSDHC card until this MD issue can be resolved. Still got to call Hitachi as they have some tools on their website that might help restore the MD.

I'll keep you informed of any developments. Hopefully this is not a common occurrence on Athenas.

Does anyone know if the 8GB miniSDHC cards are available yet? I can only find the 4gig ones.
[Advantage X7500, MDA Ameo General] masterasset:
Same Issue, Same device

Yeh, I've had the same error message but I fortunately had a program on the device that will format the MD. The error message occured when attempting this so I reset the device and went back to the same program and selected the "Restore MicroDrive" function which rebooted the PDA then asked if I want to format the storage card. Tapped "Yes" and all was well.

I have had quite a few problems with this device as I know of at least 20 people who use it and have had either the same problem or similar. For example sometimes, for no reason, all the critical data on the MD becomes corrupt and shows just the "Voices" folder from TomTom6 with "collected.ini" and an obviously corrupted file with a weird filename. Sometimes a few soft resets and fully turning off and on will bring it to a point where simply creating a new folder will bring back all lost folders.

Go figure...hope this post helps.

[edit]this should probably be moved to general

This has probably been said in other forums, but I found this xbox 360 controller receiver through watching a youtube video

(between https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=TrTmsZIb0a8 and https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=oWCpVIsYgeU)

Amazon Link

http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B000HZFCT2?psc=1&redirect=true&ref_=oh_aui_detailpage_o00_s00

Just hook it up to the Shields usb, click the button on the receiver and the controller to sync, and just like that you can have 4 other controllers for multiplayer games.

I haven't yet figured out how to get the xbox 360 controllers LED to stop flashing
[Shield Android TV Accessories] bradleyw801:
I used to use one of those with my laptop to play emulators. The controllers never do stop flashing. They are working correctly, but they just flash the whole time. Always did. However unless you are super OCD it's probably not a big problem.
[Shield Android TV Accessories] -ph-:
Did you have any problem using Xbox controller and Shield controller at same time (co-op gaming)?

NSTV can´t recognize Xbox controller as a second gamepad, so in games with co-op I can't use them both...
[Shield Android TV Accessories] fryheit:
Did you manage that to work? I have the same problem..
[Shield Android TV Accessories] -ph-:
Nop. Contacted Nvidia, but they say that don't support other controllers....

My only solution is: restart NSTV with only the Xbox controllers connected when I want to use multiple controllers. Otherwise restart NSTV with the Xbox controllers disconnected.
[Shield Android TV Accessories] fryheit:
OK, so co-op is possible but only with multiple controllers from one brand, so either the xbox ones or the ones from the shield, but it's not possible to play co-op with one shield and one xbox controller. Did i understand that Right?
[Shield Android TV Accessories] -ph-:
Yes. That only happens with wired controllers.

If you use a bluetooth controller it works fine with NSTV controller (only tested with a Xiaomi gamepad). The only problem is key mapping... I can´t use L and R buttons.
[Shield Android TV Accessories] Kajman:
there are some games, that don't recognize other controllers than nvidia, but not many.
[Shield Android TV Accessories] fryheit:
So I bought a second wireless Xbox controller and even a charging cradle.. But I really dont get it to work, both the Xbox controllers act AS the same player again.. I tried restarting the xbox,I enabled multi controller and tried everything.. How did you get it to work? I am on the lollipop rom. Help really appreciated :)
[Shield Android TV Accessories] Beefheart:
If you don't mind a bit of extra work, and your Shield is rooted, you can buy a non-Microsoft adapter for a quarter of the price. You need to make a few changes to the /system/usr/keylayout/ folder, but it takes no more than 5 minutes. I paid just £4.75 for my adapter off eBay with free delivery.
[Shield Android TV Accessories] silent_eve:
what is the change i need to make?

can you share the file so i can copy it to my NSTV

thanks
[Shield Android TV Accessories] w4tcher:
Will this change change fix the dpad not working, with cheap adapter? I'm currently building a arcade stick using a wireless controller board and the lack of a dead is giving me headaches.

Hi all,

Did anyone got this working? I have a xbox360 wireless controller and an Nvidia Shield remote controller but am not able to play Mortal Kombat with both controllers simultaneously... ?
[Shield Android TV Accessories] SherwoodCH:
I actually played Rocket League with the Nvidia Controller and 3 wireless xbox controller. It worked after I started the game with the Nvidia controller and then connected the wireless receiver for the xbox controller. I was so happy that it worked!

But then I realized that all my other games - which have co-op gaming - do not support this! But rocket league proves that it is technically possible...

Did anyone got this thing to work for other co-op games?
[Shield Android TV Accessories] sibeer:
This thread has put my mind at ease a bit. I connected one 360 pad with the wireless dongle and was really annoyed that it was also Player 1 like the Shield Pad. The flashing light was also odd. I have some more 360 pads though so will try for 4 player this evening :)
