There is a thread over in the N1 Q&A about this (although i can't post links), but I wanted to post something in here to see if others have seen this issue.
I didn't see much else about this when searching, basically my issues are as such:
My N1 will go to known good wifi networks, at work, at home and at other locations where my other devices work flawlessly. I have a coworker with the exact same firmware (we updated using the same file) on a nexus one that has never seen this problem, which I find odd, but I'm fairly new to Android. It looks like a software or driver issue to me, but as I said, I'm new to Android.
My device shows the known networks as "Disabled", but I can connect manually.
Mine shows the same issue running FRF83. Device is unlocked and the FRF50 was a stock rooted build, the FRF83 is FRF83 stock rooted + insecure + ChainsDD's Superuser app + deodexed update.
there are some screenshots tha tI took if anyone cares to take a look. I'm happy to do any debugging to help resolve this issue. I'm relatively new to android but I'm pretty technical and am not afraid to poke around, etc. I have the SDK installed. Attached are the details of my environment.
Thanks in advance,
nb
I have done a search here on this site and found a few topics related to my issue. However, I have not seen a solution for the problem. I also however, have not seen anyone saying it is impossible. So I guess I am asking for either a solution or a reason as to why this cannot be done.
ANYWAY! Onto the issue at hand!
There is a site I would like to get working on my aria. It allows me to listen in on shortwave radio frequencies. I would have provided a link but it told me I cant so...bleh...
Problem is, whenever I go to the site it tells me java is not installed or it is disabled.
So can anyone help me out here? Or can anyone tell me this is not possible and I will simply never have a shortwave radio on my aria?
Thanks in advance for any information given.
Ok.. EVO 4g. New phone bought today. Managed to get it rooted and a custom rom installed(Damage control 3.2.3, updated via DCUpdater) on it that works splendidly other than for some reason I cant seem to activate the SD card anylonger. This could be a serious issue I guess.. haah!
But the main thing i was wanting out of this device tonight was wifi tethering. I have the app. it loads fine, I can adjust all setting (SSID/Passphrase etc) i even went as far as downgrading to the 2.0.2 version to see if that helped via the google.code page. But it still just gives me the stupid error that it is "Unable to start tethering"
I really don't know a way to start trouble shooting this as I am VERY new to android, and if someone can offer a bit of help I would be much appreciative.
I am more than willing to post any info you might need as far as the setup on the phone goes. Just let me know what that info is you would be looking for and I will get it.
And if anyone can shed a bit of light on why I cannot see the SD card anymore that would be delightful as well.
Thanks a bunch.

For the wifi tethering: if the custom rom has it, you may have to remove it completely and download wifi tether from the market, that should fix it.
I *just* installed Samsung Kies to use with my T-mobile vibrant. The software downloaded just fine.
I installed it, and as soon as I ran the software, my internet connection (I used a USB 802.1g wireless adapter) conked out.
Nothing I did (release, renew, disabling and enabling the adapter) helped.
So, I rebooted my PC. Internet connection came up like normal....until I doubled clicked the kies icon in the systray to run the software again. All of a sudden I lost internet connectivity again.
Going to try it one more time after posting this message. If it knocks out my connection again, then I will take back every nice thing I have ever said about Samsung.
That is weird. Kies should affect your wifi network card, since they are not really related at all. Also, it didn't do anything to my network connection.Try uninstalling it and reinstall?
un-f*cking-believable.
I ran Kies right after making that post and couldn't connect to anything on the internet.
A disable/enable through the Windows XP control panel got me back up and running.
My guess would be that the software somehow locks down data/communication to the USB ports. My USB wireless adapter (an Airlink101) couldn't get a DHCP lease with Kies running.
I will be uninstalling Samsung's piece of **** software immediately. Another screw-up by a delusions-of-grandeur company that should stick to making TVs (and nothing else).
There is no excuse for data sync software to break the IP stack on a PC. Utterly ridiculous.
I will be sure to give Samsung products a wide berth in the future

Set a static while you need the software. Whats the big deal.
That won't work. XP sends a DHCP request at windows log-on and gets a lease for a few hours/days (depending on how you have your router set up).
After your machine gets the IP lease, the stack treats it like a static IP.
The Kies software has some buggy USB interface code. It should poll the USB for devices it recognizes and then initialize whatever protocol for authentication/tranfser/whatever...... instead Kies' polling function is somehow actively disrupting communication on the USB (i don't write drivers, so i'm not familiar with the applicable functions or routines).
Basically, hard-coding a static ip wont' do anything. My machine still has the correct IP when Kies starts. It is only after a user-initiated DHCP release that it cannot get a new lease from my router.
Other machines on my network are unaffected (including my Vibrant), so I know its my PC and I knows it is Kies causing the problem.
I have already uninstalled it. If I ever meet a Samsung employee then they'll get an earful about how bad their company sucks.
I made this post for other people who might have the issue and not realize that the Kies software is causing their problem (it auto-starts itself when you boot up windows, so less savvy users might not realize what is going on until they disable it)
So.. did you try it before you replied? You seem to need to prove how much you know about windows networking... so i dont assume you will try anything and will continue to mislead and place blame as you see fit.
I know enough about PC's to know to IMMEDIATELY uninstall software that arbitrarily knocks out your internet connection. Wrangling with it just isn't worth it unless you need it for something. Besides... how am I doing to download a firmware update if Kies has killed off my PC's internet connection?
Its bug-ridden crapware and I am far from the only person who has had problems with it. As a matter of fact, half the people who run Kies can't even get it to recognize their phones properly.
I'm not trying to prove anything to anyone. The extra information is there in case anyone wants to try to fix the problem. -I'm not going to waste my time fixing Samsung's mistake.
As for blame... its pretty obvious where the blame should go. I'm not having any connection problems since removing the software.
Samsung sucks. Plain and simple.
You are an isolated case, seems to be only one complaining about it. I bet it's because you uses a USB wireless adapter, not that many people have that technology anymore.
.....................
Do your own tests. Run the software and see if it affects any of your other USB devices.
Lol at the IRQ conflict or bandwith suggestions. Nope, that's not it.

You keep blaming Samsung, which is typical behavior. Meaning when someone had a problem they try to find someone to blame instead of taking ownership.
You could have updated your wireless nic drivers (or whatever nic was problematic) and then checked to see if there are known issues with Keis and whatever vendor and chipset you use.
Trying half way doesn't help anyone.
Im not saying it not possible that samsungs Keis software causes problems with certain configurations. Im saying exhaust all the troubleshooting options before staking your claim against the big bad phone maker.
Keep in mind you are trying to get something nonofficial to the vibrant to work. So its on you if there are problems.
.............................
I did just help people. I just told them about yet another in the long line of bugs that Kies has.
Only fan-boys would defend a product which is known for for having tons of problems.
Keep bumping this thread, though. hopefully other people with the same problem will see it and uninstall Kies if it causes issues for them
...........................
Really. How are people without internet connections going to post on the message board?
Besides that, someone has to be the first one to report any problem. No one believed the first guy who said the Xbox360 was buggy either
If you don't have anything helpful to add to the thread (except for not not believing me), then maybe you should ask yourself why you're still replying. It takes a big man to comment on a problem he's never seen, and doesn't understand, and decide that he knows better than someone who has experienced the issue first-hand.
Lol, maybe you're a Samsung programmer? That would explain a lot! No wonder Kies sucks so bad.

That's your problem. There's nothing to argue about. The software is buggy and that is a widely known fact. Go troll some other thread.
You don't know what you're talking about anyway.

The only reason he's even arguing with you is because you came off as a **** when you said LOL to his post (he even said MAYBE).
There IS nothing to argue about here, it works for some and not for others.

as you might know, you too might have a network issue with your phone. Such as your network bar keeps dropping etc.
This is what I want from you guys:
I was wondering if anyone can confirm network drop on your phone
If they experienced network drop what have you done to fix/sustain it.
If you are having a different problem related to network please tell us
Thank You
(please no rude or pointless comments, as this could help other users ... and please stay on topic)
every network issue is always tie to the exact ROM/Kernel so I don't see the point to discuss is somewhere else than in threads for related ROMs
