No thanks re: the hard reset. I've already done that... If I can't figure this out I'm going to sell my phone and steer clear of ppc phones. I like it, but I bought it for wifi and this is just getting ridiculous. I have tried everything. I've spent hours and hours on this. I've reset my router god knows how many times, played with security settings, reset my phone over and over to start over.....

The worst part now is that I know it's connected. The wifi aspect is fine. It's just the stupid phone not wanting to use the wifi connection for the internet.

Maybe someone with a 8525 and a Linksys router can post ALL of their wireless related settings for me.

Ekh :(
[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam General] olly666:
Yes I used the AT&T update.....
[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam General] Jc61990:
i use wifi and my linksys router, the 8525's range isnt that great u need to be within a few feet of the router to get good reception, im about 30 feet from mine and i get 2 Wifi signal bars and an ok speed. but try this

Start > Programs > Proxy Manager > Disable Proxy

then try to use your wifi, then go back and restore the proxy when your done, i think some 1 told me to do that because att uses that so u can use their internet service or sumthin

Thanks but I'm way ahead of you. I've already tried every piece of advice I've come across on xda. My last hope is someone elses detailed settings.

is your network passworded by a WEP or TKIP ?
[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam General] olly666:
It's WPA... My device has the password, and I added the MAC to my router table. It's connecting to the router/wifi...
[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam General] olly666:

Your problem may be one of the following:

1. The wifi connection is specified as connecting to "work" and programs are set to use an internet connection.

2. The wifi connection is specified as connecting to "internet" and programs are set to use a work connection.
[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam General] olly666:
Nope that's not it. But it does remind me of something so thanks. I deleted all the connections seeing as I don't have a dataplan... I made a new connection called "Wifi". BUT, it's not like I can specify any connection for it so it's just blank (no connection specified). By this I mean the options for a connection are:

bluetooth, cellular line, cellular line (GPRS, 3G), Generic IrDA, Hanes...COM1. No option for wireless...

Does that help?
[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam General] Hissing Syd:
Check that your router is set to allow connections by devices with 802.11b, which the Hermes uses. Most default to 802.11g only.
[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam General] olly666:
It's set for b and g

Hallelujah!!!!!

People, I have WIFI!!! :D:):p

Thanks to everyone who tried to give a helping hand... It's really appreciated.

For future reference to those who are suffering from the same problem - this is what seemed to fix it... I entered google into IE via it's IP address rather than it's name (open command prompt, ping google.com...). To my surprise the page quickly loaded. I then instantly realized that the problem was with the DNS settings. I opened up "Wi-Fi" in settings, went to the "Network Adapters" tab at the bottom and entered in the DNS addresses for "IEEE 802.11b/g...". If you need help with this just PM me (I consider myself somewhat of an expert on this topic now).

I thought I was never going to get online. There IS a god!

you should now be set for device to use wifi to connect to internet. turn on wifi, follow prompts to enter password, etc. If this fails, it could be your encryption setting on your router. try weppsk. i recall some issues there. also forget about mac address,etc. Let the software do its own thing. i doubt if anyone really cares about your wifi network, and if they do, you probably wont stop them for long anyway. Set router to show ssid for the initial connection at least. This way, you will be prompted to set up the connection.

I hope this works. I do not know if it is a problem for the device to have no cell connections setup or not. It will default to wifi if it is available. You may need to experiment with this if the above does not work. I have turned off my cell connection with bandswitch to force device to use wifi only in the past. I have never tried to use device with no cell data connection in the settings.

Hey peeps... I got a problem with this as well :'(

I'm trying to connect to my Buffalo WZR2-G300N Router with WPA-PSK TKIP settings and it doesn't even want to accept it.

It sees the AP and shows it available, it tries to connect to it when I tell it to, but it just goes back to Available.

any ideas?
[AT&T LG G3] deegore:
I got xposed and installed g3 tweakbox 2.2, enable the hidden launcher menu, but any changes I make go back to default as soon as I back out. Reboots don't help.

I'm on a marshmallow stock based Rom.

I don't want to use an app that's always in the notification bar.

If there's no other way, I'll use nova launcher. Thanks
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note 8 Questions & Answers] Sengfeng:
Something I found out the hard way. I was giving Bixby a chance (ok, seeing if I could find funny question/response combinations), and at some point the long-press on the button stopped working.

Solution: Your settings panel MUST be in simple mode for it to work. Seems a little dumb. But anyway.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note 8 Questions & Answers] moe87:
how did Bixby work for you?

def. not the best i had ... and sometimes it wakes up while im watching a movie or someone is talking near by!

im already looking into remapping the Bixby button with the google assist.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note 8 Questions & Answers] skunkle88:
I can't believe I'm saying this but I actually like Bixby. I also love Google assistant but Bixby can to a lot of things on this phone that Assistant can't. Bixby can do most anything with phone settings that assistant can't. It has also not failed me in searches, navigation, and other commands I throw at it. It can't carry a conversation like Assistant can but I have friends for that [emoji6]
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note 8 Questions & Answers] moe87:
im with you on this one .. at least my friends didn't cost me $900 :D
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note 8 Questions & Answers] Sengfeng:
Overall, Bixby is a new toy, not proving super useful if there's ANY background noise. I've just been using it with the push button & talk mode, and it seems very sensitive and picks up all spoken words from anyone nearby.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note 8 Questions & Answers] skinnytoo2:
Ditto!!
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note 8 Questions & Answers] KruseLudsMobile:
I remapped the Bixby button to instantly launch the camera. Best thing I've done on a phone in a long, long time! Phone doesn't have to be unlocked either and it's instant. Doesn't matter what screen you are on or what app you are using! Look for bxActions app on the play store, use the paid version.

[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note 8 Questions & Answers] NWNJ:
Thanks for the tip. I just did the same thing. That Bixby Button was useless! Having quick access to my camera is great though!
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note 8 Questions & Answers] Dr.Spank:
Where exactly in settings do you go to do This? I hate Bixby and I feel it slows this phone down so much.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note 8 Questions & Answers] NWNJ:
You need the pro verson of bxactions, then it is under actions where you can change it. But first you have to enable bxactions in settings, accessibility, services.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note 8 Questions & Answers] MatroxD:
Same here! At first, before I actually started really using it, and investigating others that tried to get it to work, it was frustrating(I don't use the Hi Bixby command, but just the button and talk).. But once I started training it in every location I am usually at, with background noise and all (it only took a few seconds each time, when I was bored and had a moment), it has been great! It does things that no other assistant can, as far as integrating with the phone(along with some of the same Google type stuff, but I never found that useful honestly)... There are a lot of commands and of course it's going to take time to learn them.. But I use Bixby multiple times a day, every day now!

[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note 8 Questions & Answers] BeckPC:
Perhaps I don't talk fast enough for Bixby. With S-Voice command and my BT earpiece, I was able to create an appointment while driving without an issue. It worked nearly 100% of the time. However, with Bixby, I barely can get out half the phrase: "Create an appointment for Steve @ 10am tomorrow morning" before it cuts me off. UGH! Frustrating to say the least. This leaves me with a partial appointment on the screen that I have to pick up to finish.

But last night I discovered just how useless Bixby can be. I was grilling food and wanted a timer set for 4 minutes. I asked Bixby to "Start a timer for 4 minutes". What did it do? It brought up the timer and set it for 4 minutes, BUT IT DIDN'T START! Seriously? So much for hands free usage. After messing with it, I said forget it and used Google Assistant do to the same. It worked, set the timer and automatically started, without having to touch my phone a second time. I miss S-Voice, but I'm really beginning to hate Bixby.

My other annoying feature about Bixby is there are no audible voice replies. I say "Call the wife". Sometimes it works, sometimes it may not hear me correctly and doesn't speak to me asking for more input. It's on the screen, but not in my ear. Someone at Samsung needs to understand the object behind voice commands is to be HANDS FREE. This means it should not require you to pick up your phone to confirm something. At least S-Voice worked pretty good for that. I really wish there was a way to go back to that software instead. And no, I don't have the "Hi Bixby" feature turned on. I don't like anything listening to me all the time.

So, I came back to Android after being with Apple since Feb. My only option was this phone since I traded my daughter to break free. I'm stuck with this phone for a while and I figured since it's a year old should have root and a rom or two.

I can't find anything for this phone. Lineage was going to be my go to but it's not on the list. I've been googling half the night but still at square 0. Anyone out there know how to root and or out lineage on this. I'm fluent with Odin and I've rooted in the past. Hope someone can help.

Thanks in advance ??

how to remove phone locked and frp lock on my device (huawei y6 scl u31) in stuck logo / bootlop. thanks bro
[Moto G4 Plus Questions & Answers] AzuosDX:
I am using the latest version of Android, with the June 2017 security patch (my device is G4 Plus XT1640) rooted with magisk and xposed (just the module of the gravity box, and in magisk the viper4android module).

But something happens that bothers a lot, and this happens in the android since the early versions of its existence, which is the problem of interrupting the notifications after a time in standby (something that iOS never seen happen)

In my case, I wanted notifications of specific apps not to be interrupted (like WhatsApp, Instagram, Google+, etc.) but that's not the case, I know in version 7.0 Nougat, it has the battery optimization feature, where it manages to suspend application activities while it is in standby (or deep sleep), however, I deactivated battery optimization in applications that I wish not to be suspended, but it continues to suspend.

It may be until the system is not suspending the application, but the connectivity (in the case Wi-Fi) however in the Wi-Fi network settings I enabled it to not be suspended for inactivity, but even so I do not get notifications applications. I got to perform a test by sending a message on whatsapp to me after 20 minutes on standby, and it shows only one check instead of two check, when I unlock the screen, and open the application, the notifications appears all at once.

Is there a way (without requiring root resources or xposed modules) to resolve this problem? (Or is the solution only with root and xposed features?)

[MENTION=6307747]AzuosDX[/MENTION] I would recommend to uninstall Gravity Box and make sure you don't run applications like greenify or other doze apps like amplify. Please test again.
[Moto G4 Plus Questions & Answers] AzuosDX:
Well, the problem is that I can not go without using the features of the Gravity Box, because in it I use the resources of:

(Note: I did the test without the Gravity Box, and the delay stays the same)

* Modify the status bar (center the clock)

* Enable the download and upload consumption counter

* Customize navigation bar buttons (example: open WhatsApp with two touch, open the application drawer by holding the button, and etc.)

the Gravity Box I only use these features, and they do not directly affect the applications installed on the system, and I do not use any hibernation application, and even then I would not have them interfere if I enable specific apps to not be hibernated (just like I mentioned in the battery optimization part)

I think it's a problem in Kernel optimization apps, because I installed HEBF (an app that "promises" improved battery consumption, stability, smoothness in the system, etc.). And another app that is L-Speed, when I was using HEBF, I actually did some tests and I noticed that it does not interfere with the delay of notifications, but L-Speed ​​is another story because after analyzing the application thoroughly, it can delay writes on the system, modify parts of the kernel responsible in standby (Kernel Sleepers) among other things.

The question is whether anyone else could use this same application to know if it really is the problem, because if other devices do not, then my device might be a combination of factors that lead to delay in notifications ( for example: Root + Xposed + L-Speed ​​or Magisk + Xposed + L-Speed ​​or HEBF + L-Speed ​​and etc.)

I think I will reinstall the System Stock again, do everything like this now, but without using the L-Speed and HEBF customizations, and analyze if they really are the problem.

But is there any application that keeps other specific applications awake within the system? without hibernating them, or suspending them?

.

[Moto G4 Plus Questions & Answers] strongst:
You the only thing that's the same is viper4android. Rom, kernel profile, greenify isn't the same like op. So maybe it's viper4android?

I have an N950F that I got through Vodafone (Build#NMF26X.N950FXXU1AQI1, CSC: VAU/VAU/VAU). When I go into Developer Options, there is no setting for OEM Unlock. Not sure if it means that the phone isn't locked to Vodafone to start with or if I need that setting to flash TWRP and then Magisk? I know the bootloader is unlocked (Exynos model) but the OEM Unlock setting seems to be causing a lot of confusion, with some people having it and some not.

Does anyone with a N950F bought through an Australian carrier have the OEM Unlock option in Developer Options?
[Samsung Galaxy Note 8 Questions and Answers] ultramag69:
Mate, I have an unbranded Note 8 that doesn't have OEM Unlock on it... Not sure what goes on there but this is a bit of a kick in the nuts for those that want to unlock...

I spent too much money on mine to try an experiment that more than likely will end in pain and anguish...

I have the same problem and when I called Samsung Australia asking to unlock OEM, they said they don't have any information and cant give any advice.
[Samsung Galaxy Note 8 Questions and Answers] Torquemada288:
What CSC is your Note using? XSA? I don't think you'll brick your device, it'll just not work.

Well, either they have information and refuse to tell us (which is a pretty f**ked attitude towards customers who've paid for their flagship device) or they don't know a key piece of information about a device they sell at a premium.

I'm not sure which option is the most infuriating but both are totally unacceptable.
[Samsung Galaxy Note 8 Questions and Answers] ultramag69:
Using XSA..

Not surprising really that the help desk offers little to no help.....

Most times they have no idea about what you ask. I'm sure they look up on PC any problems asked about and can pretty much guarantee that Samsung won't want to help anyone unlock their device. The custom roms that are made make them look bad.....

[Samsung Galaxy Note 8 Questions and Answers] Torquemada288:
Fortunately, since Samsung have made the OEM Unlock option such a pain for so many users, devs are working hard to make an app that will make this option visible to everyone. Guess we'll just have to wait until they figure it out. It's very early days for dev work on the Note 8 and using it without root isn't nearly as bad as it has been with previous phones. The need for root is still there for me, but not as urgent as it once was.
[Samsung Galaxy Note 8 Questions and Answers] Superduper01:
I also have unbranded bought from Samsung Australia it also don't have oem option, wth is wrong with Samsung. Is it becoming a new Apple?
[Samsung Galaxy Note 8 Questions and Answers] Torquemada288:
I've re-checked in Developer Options and now the OEM Unlock option is there. One theory is that the visibility of this option is triggered by time, such as the official launch date or maybe some other measurement, like the amount of time since the device has been used (I booted up my Note 8 for the 1st time exactly a week ago). I suggest that you periodically check Developer Options as the OEM Unlock option may become visible without any user intervention.
[Samsung Galaxy Note 8 Questions and Answers] Torquemada288:
On the Vodafone network and bought through Vodafone.
[Samsung Galaxy Note 8 Questions and Answers] Superduper01:
Lucky you, i bought from Samsung Australia and it is unbranded but still no oem unlock, i am on kogan which also uses Vodafone. Lets see if mine also get lock automatically
[Samsung Galaxy Note 8 Questions and Answers] tripleacs:
I've bought from Samsung directly as well (XSA firmware). Currently on Optus.

The OEM unlock toggle didn't appear at first which irritated me, however with the software update last week all I had to do was disable and re enable developer options, and bingo. It's there.
[Samsung Galaxy Note 8 Questions and Answers] demang:
Yeah!! Oem unlock function appeared for me as well.....
[Samsung Galaxy Note 8 Questions and Answers] MistahBungle:
Also got mine pre-order from Voda, currently running N950FXXU1AQI1/XAU (19/09/17). Arrived on the 19th, I guess we'll see tomorrow if OEM unlock magically appears in developer options.

I'm not holding my breath though, Samsung have clearly decided to put a 'lock' in place which disables OEM unlock & which also stops the CSC being changed which might otherwise enable OEM unlock on a phone which doesn't have it (most of them).

Looks like most of us are probably waiting until someone inevitably breaks the lock, which will happen sooner or later, just probably not as quickly as if it was the flagship model (I.E the SGS8) with more developers working on the device.

Edit - Nope. I have my doubts about the 'time device used' theory. There's some other factor involved here. It doesn't even seem to be firmware dependent; poster in another thread also running AQI1 has it, I don't.
