[Note 7 Questions & Answers] hdresden:
So I got my new note 7 and am loving it except for one significant problem. I cant get to google play on my wifi. Every other wifi in the world works. Just not my own at home. I can connect at my moms no problem, LTE works. Get a white screen as if the app is trying to load and sometimes a connection error try again later.

Things I have tried.

Other wifi networks "which works"

Tried my moms router on my modem, no go

All the stuff you get when you google like cache reset, manually adjust the time, factory restore....

One work around that works is to run a vpn, another is connecting my hootoo travel router to my wifi and connecting the phone through it. Then app store and photos works fine.

Google says its a problem specific to my phone and connection to the internet, so samsung or isp problem, samgsung said its a isp problem, rogers said its a isp problem. So not very helpful.

My setup is my note 7 connected to an archer c9 "tplink" which is new a month ago. my isp is xplornet "bleck" and im on thier 25 meg 300 gig lte package which actually get between 2 and 5 meg down, half a meg up. We have a note 5 and an iphone in the house as well and they both work fine.

Anyone have an idea? Samsung, xplornet, rogers and google haven't a clue.
[Note 7 Questions & Answers] nixonboy123:
Sounds like your ISP DNS is having issues.
[Note 7 Questions & Answers] Shikyo:
nixonboy123 is right. Your DNS is giving you issues. Log into your router and manually specify DNS address. You can use Google's DNS at (8.8.8.8 and 8.8.7.7). Google how to configure DNS on your router if you aren't sure.

If you're unable to manually specify DNS on your router you can find DNS settings on your phone. You may have to select manually specify IP address on your wifi network to configure the DNS.
[Note 7 Questions & Answers] \m/:
This, except I believe Google's secondary DNS address is 8.8.4.4.
[Note 7 Questions & Answers] Shikyo:
My mistake. You're right.
[Note 7 Questions & Answers] jackdforme:
They are right. Also grab a ping tool and try resolving play.google.com
[Note 7 Questions & Answers] hdresden:
Thanks for the advice. Changing the dns on my router to 8.8.8.8 and 8.8.4.4 allows me to get into the google play store now, but my installed apps tab remains blank. Everything else works though. Also my google photos gets stuck on the first upload. The progress bar on the first photo will start but hang forever. Connect through vpn or any other wifi network i've tried and it all works fine.

Kind of frustrating to have so much headaches just trying to set up a new phone i should be enjoying.

Rogers agreed to replace the phone when they get some more in. Why would my S5 Note 5 and G4 all work without all this hassle?

[Note 7 Questions & Answers] jackdforme:
What are your on phone e speed tests, tracerts etc showing.
[Note 7 Questions & Answers] matsuyamakaze:
Contact your provider have them switch your isp and you can search for the best dns servers so you dont get slowed down by everyone in your city.
[Note 7 Questions & Answers] hdresden:
Can't seem to get images to show until I post some more. I'll try again on the PC when I get home.

Speed tests are as high as 18 mbps in the morning but average around 5 mostly. 100 ms ping or lower

Ping results look ok to me.

I am on AT&T too, I have the content scaling available under display setting.
[Note 7 Questions & Answers] MrBaltazar:
I'm running the latest AT&T PH1 firmware and I have content scaling available. Make sure power saving mode is turned off, as the phone will scale to 1080p to save battery life and may not show the option while in power saving mode.
[Note 7 Questions & Answers] ekerbuddyeker:
I see content scaling but not the ability to scale back to 1080. I don't have a screen resolution toggle.
[Note 7 Questions & Answers] darthfire:
Your edge screen option is also in a different position than on my device. Maybe an update is required to fix it? My always on display wasn't working properly either until I noticed there was an "update now" button buried in the settings menu.
[Note 7 Questions & Answers] MrBaltazar:
Yep i think you are on an older firmware. Check for SW updates or flash the latest in Odin. My edge screen option is in a different place also.

Your content scaling option is named "screen resolution" which is basicallg the same exact thing
[Note 7 Questions & Answers] wookiee2cu:
I'm on T-Mobile and couldn't find it in the settings either but here's how I got it. Open settings, in the top right you will see "search", click on that and type in "scaling", hit the search icon on the keyboard and content scaling will come up. Tap it and adjust the settings.
[Note 7 Questions & Answers] ekerbuddyeker:
Screen resolution isn't the same as content scaling.
[Note 7 Questions & Answers] MrBaltazar:
Pretty much gives it the same effect. Lower resolution = bigger icons and less screen real estate. Scaling to "large" does the same

[Note 7 Questions & Answers] jal3223:
You can change the resolution by going into power saving menu and create a custom one. Just de-select all of the throttling options and brightness options and only adjust the FHD option.
[Note 7 Questions & Answers] Compusmurf:
Yes, but is there any other way, maybe through tasker or a hidden menu option?

Doing it this way leaves the ugly powersaving icon on your notification bar full time.
[Note 7 Questions & Answers] jal3223:
Yeah, that's true. I couldn't figure out any other way on the Verizon model though. Maybe when the unlocked firmware rolls out we can add back some of the removed features.
[Note 7 Questions & Answers] Compusmurf:
Yeah, I really want to be able to do this in Tasker. Plus one of the others, where you can lock the highest brightness in auto settings.

I'd add it to my "night mode" script.

the icon is annoying. I'll live with it if I have to but I'd rather have the space for something more important.
[Note 7 Questions & Answers] TokyoGuy:
I don't have it either, though in the initial setup the device actually did ask about content scaling. There was an option for either large or standard.
[Note 7 Questions & Answers] Kingp0dd:
I rn remember setting it up the first time also. I think the my recent software update removed it
[Note 7 Questions & Answers] clubtech:
You are correct. It was there initially and was replaced with "screen resolution" with the latest update. I can still find the setting using nova > activities > scroll down to settings and find "display scaling". It's there.

Not sure why they removed it.

And no screen resolution is def not the same as scaling.
[Note 7 Questions & Answers] Zanr Zij:
My mistake! I mis-remmeber it name. The right module name: Content Scaling

At Home Screen ( of Nova ) make widget, choose Nova Activity, go to Settings section and you will found Content Scaling!

Thanks a lot!

[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] HardGroove:
Hello to all genius mind.

I am writing here, to find a solution for my problem. I will start from beginning, to be as clear as possible.

This summer, during my vacation time, while diving, I found SG J5 in the bottom of the lake (sorry for the person who lost it like that...). Since I never had android smartphone in my hands before, I was wondering, can this device still work, since I have no idea how long it was under water and what can I learn from this process. :cowboy:

After opening it up, cleaning with 96% alcohol and drying it, devices finally showed some signs of life. Actually, almost everything was working, amazing...

Once I got this device running, I started to deal with software. Following some tutorials online, I was on the process to bypass RFP, but could not finish it, since I had other important matter to attend to. After I was back, and turned device on, for some reason, it booted into safe mode. I have been tried again SideSync method, but it was not working, since device did not reacted, after I plugged in to PC. Computer can recognize device and I can even browser the files in it. Weird thing is, that

lower volume button stopped responding

(I had theory that it could be jammed, once I removed it and cleaned contact, no changes was in the system, still in safe mode, so its not jammed button...), it was working before and all other buttons are working fine. Because of that, I cannot load recovery mode.

OTG method also did not worked

, since nothing happen when I plunged usb into phone (safe mode block all external apps). I have tried to flash new ROM, with a help of "Samsung 300K Tool" I can launch download mode, but new ROM did not gave any result either, and RFP blocks all custom ROM's, that could modify system.

ADB do not find the device

, since USB Debugging is probably off, and I don't know a way how to activate it from PC. The trick to disconnect WiFi, when it checks info for google account, did not worked either, since its not possible to select a text for sharing it.

After trying all the methods that I could find, I hit the brick wall. Phone works fine, but its completely locked. I am thinking, that

new Samsung protection system

is designed like this, to force phone in to safe mode after one hard reset and lock all posiblities to byass RFP, not sure though, it could be hardware problem to, but no idea where...

Does anyone here could help me out with this case:confused:

THANKS!

Best regards to all,

HG

If you like Pocket IE then change the registrys to see it like a desktop. This is a link to the registry changes you will need to make.

This will let your pocket internet explorer look like a normal desktop Internet Explorer 6.0

This can help you access sites that require a certain internet explorer version.

1) Open a registry editor

2) Go to

HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Internet Settings\User Agent\

3) Change the default value to "Mozilla/4.0".

4) Change the "Version" value to "MSIE 6.0".

5) Change the "Platform" value to "Windows NT 5.0".

6) Soft-reset.

[Honor 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] shaq8:
Thanks for the link DigiGoon

but how to flash new firmware? All descriptions refer to the dload method, which I can not use because I do not have stock recovery. Is there any method to reflash new firmware having trwp instaled?

and in fact my mistake. the topic was to be started in the P7 section. If an admin will go on this thread , please transferred to the Huawei P7 section
[Honor 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] DigiGoon:
No worries, I'll help you regardless of in which section your thread resides. :)

So, to flash the UPDATE.APP, follow these steps:

First download the package from the link I provided.

Extract it, and find UPDATE.APP

Now you have to extract the stock recovery from UPDATE.APP using Huawei UPDATE Extractor tool.

After pulling recovery.img you have to flash it to your device via bootloader.

Boot into bootloader mode and flash the recovery by firing this command:

fastboot flash recovery recovery.img

Now you have Stock recovery installed.

I hope you are on Lollipop only, if your device was rooted, you have to first flash .img files manually and then force update it via UPDATE.APP.

If your device is not rooted then put the UPDATE.APP in dload folder in your External SDCARD, and press the three button combo after switching off your device, the update process will start then. :)

I hope this clears something. ;)
[Honor 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] shaq8:
the phone has root.

Custom recovery already loaded and working.

I understand that now I have a reflash of all files from update.app? the sequence of flashing files has any meaning?

I ask because I would not want to mess up more in the phone :)
[Honor 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] DigiGoon:
No, you can flash them in any sequence. It doesn't effect in any way. :)

Handcent (also called Next) SMS is my favorite. I actually DL'd and installed a bit older APK I found on google because they borked the newest update to Next/Handcent SMS somewhat, so I am using the previous version before the update. I installed all my themes I have been using for several years for Handcent and it looks and works just like I had it on my N2, N3 and N4. I really like the "private" option to put some contacts texts into a private folder separate from the main text screen. This app is so much better than messenger + or the stock sms app IMHO.

Textra is worth a try though.

I think you can try them all, but it will clog up your notifications with several different ones running. I disabled the stock messages app and the messenger + app and only use Handcent/Next SMS. I have tried a few others before but for me personally I really like the features, look and feel of Handcent/Next. I hear lots of people who like Textra but I personally didn't like it more than Handcent. You can try them all out for yourself though.

Hi, be sure you are not Apple version of the QC25, because there is a problem with OMTP (Android) connecting and CTIA (Apple).

1) Try : https://xdaforums.com/oneplus-x/development/rom-sailfish-os-t3322567/page26.

2) The micro cable and the ground cable are cross between the phones (OMPT and CTIA), the remote buttons not works. It's not a configuration problem or software, it's only a connecting problem. So if you have the same connecting (Apple cable), it exist on internet, for exemple, AMAZONE some adapters OMTP CTIA. So i'm testing this adaptaters and they doesn't work.

Good luck. Benoit.
[T-Mobile LG G3] lolitstony:
I'm having this issue with My device, it refuses to connect to the WiFi.

The problem began on CM13 Nightly's so I Decided to do a full wipe and Nothing.

My Next move was to fully unRoot my device so I did, with the LGFlash tool, everYthing went well, but Still no WiFi.

I then Rooted the device back, and suddenly after boot Up the WiFi began to work, I then ran an Update and the WiFi died again.

My final attempt was To open the device, I took the motherBoard out and everything appeared to be visually OK, but I suspect the WiFi chip is out.

Should I buy a "new" motherBoard for $100 or just get a new device? If so which one, I'm on a >$300 budget.

Thanks :eek:

It's been mentioned in other threads that it's a hardware issue like you said. $100 for a motherboard is definitely not worth it.

I am currently looking at used V10s for close to the $250 mark in mint condition. Check Swappa. There are also very cheap G4s and if you want to stick with the G3, those can be had for close to $100 as well.

Two weeks ago I suddenly lost all WiFi connectivity on my T-810 where it can no longer be turned on and where wiping, recovering and installing new releases of stock or CM all have been to no avail to date.

When doing troubleshooting with one of the senior developers here, he suggested I ask another T-801 user for a backup of their ENTIRE internal eMMC (mmcblk0). I would then install this on my tablet, reinstall the EFS backup I have previously saved and see if WiFi functionality can be recovered. If not, I have to face this likely being a hardware failure.

Is anyone able to help me? If questions, please ask.

Thank you in advance.
