Portable hotspot not working in 2.3.4 - Galaxy S II General

Has anyone noticed that it is not working on KG1 and KG2?
Just realised it today and when flashed back to 2.3.3, it works again.
On 2.3.4, able to get IP from DHCP but unable to surf.
And as far as I googled, it's probably a kernel issue.
Anyone having the same issue?

working in KG1 here

It's working on my KG2 also.

Thanks guys for the replies.
Can inquire if you are using stock or custom rom?
I am using stock rom with chainfire kernel.
What perplexes me is that it work in 2.3.3 only but not 2.3.4
Even tried it the moment I do a factory reset KG1 without root but no go.
Appreciate any advice.

Try to set the security to WPA2, I think it has something to do with your APN setting or fast dormancy setting.
BTW I'm using stock KG1 firmware with no modification and portable wi-fi hotspot is my only way of connecting to the net.

Just reflashed.
Step1: KF1 (2.3.3) - Factory reset was done. Both tethered and hotspot works.
Step2: KG2 (2.3.4) - Factory reset was done before and after upgrading. Both instances,hotspot not working. Tethered works fine.
APN settings remained unchanged. Fast dormancy unchanged (this shouldn't matters in the first place).
The problem occurs only in 2.3.4. Anyone can advise?

Have you cleared your Dalvik cache and wipe cache partition before flashing KG1/2, usually what I do is wipe those cache and its partition, wipe data/factory reset, install new firmware, factory reset again. These steps will surely wipe clean your phone.

Yup.Tried them all. Even tried overlay flashing of stock roms in hope of solving it.Just couldn't solve it.
No matter. I do with wired tethered for now. Hopefully the later roms can solve this perplexing problem of mine.
Thanks for your help.

Just tested on my GX2, Stock KG2 2.3.4 ROM and rooted with CF-ROOT XXKG2 kernel. No problems.

Then can someone enlighten why is this so?
All my tests so far are with stock roms, pure Samsung bundled apps. I didn't install anything while troubleshooting!
KG1 - i9100XXKG1
KG2 - I9100XXKG2
KF1 - I9100DXKF1
Does the country code actually makes a difference?

Weird thing.
Working fine here too, just used it last night to surf around a bit.
XXKG2 2.3.4 with a kinda messed up kernel ATM

I've also had major issues with my HotSpot too, tried many different ROMS and Firmwares and nothing worked. My brother and I both have the same phone, purchased from NewEgg.com and believe it's the European model, I upgraded mine to 2.3.4 via stock at first, and the HotSpot didn't work. I can see the connection and connect, but no data is pushed through, and not all devices can connect, only certain ones. Then tried countless ROMS, and none of them work. But his HotSpot works, he is still on 2.3.3. So I can confirm issues with 2.3.4. I wonder if the Puerto Rico model would be any different.

To resolve this, you can flash any of the custom kernels here. They are build on 2.3.3 source and hotspot is working.

I'm currently on NINPHETAMINE kernel 2.0.4 because I want BLN support. Is there a 2.3.3 kernel that supports that?

Working on KG5, but I have to change the user agent of firefox to mobile android OS

Not sure on that kernel but speedmod's and hellcat's works for me. It stop working the moment I use the stock kernel or chainfire's.

Hi, I too had the same issue with Hotspot, but now I fixed it!
when I was on 2.3.3 (with Org rom from my provider) Hotspot was working properly! after moved to stock 2.3.4, I couldnn't use the Hotspot option. (After activating, my data connection would come and go).
As djpianz sugested, Its got to do with your APN.
What I did is, Go to APN setting, press Menu --> Reset to defaults.
Problem was solved. (I guess If reset doesn't help ya, You need to manually define your APN, Or use Titanum backup to backup from 2.3.3 and restore to 2.3.4).

Bell to release 2.2 Dec 10 - fact, or more hype ?

http://mobilesyrup.com/2010/12/08/b...upgrade-to-os-2-2-froyo-coming-december-10th/
Not sure if just more hype - but here you go........Looking forward to see if the corporate email issue gets resolved as this is my company phone and email is a must.
May have to hold off on this upgrade all together
Good luck
Regards,
It looks legit to me! If so, I'm really excited. Can't wait to see what this bad boy brings.
I think I just wet my pants. Can it be true?
it's no hype.
I think it is true... Mobile syrup generally tends to be accurate....
Especially with screenshots in that format.
Finally, I guess... I had decided if a good gingerbread rom came out before official froyo I would get that instead, but i guess now I dont have to. Though that is not to say I won't anyway.
One quick question though can I restore a nandroid backup over a new rom change (such as official froyo or unofficial gingerbread) to restore apps and other misc data?

I think it's out now...I just downgraded back to 2.1 and Kies is offering me JK4 (this is WITHOUT a reg hack).
Anyone else confirm?
Yes available now through kies. I guess i know what I'm doing tonight

Confirmed, updating as I speak.
I hv a question. It is best to upgrade without any lagfixes. I have OCLF installed, I was wondering how do I uninstall it? Do I just uninstall the application? or do some cache swiping through Recovery mode or ClockWordMod Recovery?

JK4 Confirmed for Bell in Ontario
Update to 2.2 complete! All seems to work well.
Model GT-I9000M
PDA:JK4
Phone: JK4
CSC: JK4
I want to make sure I'm running everything stock...
model number: gt-i9000m
firmware: 2.2
baseband: i9000ugjk4
kernel: 2.6.32.9 [email protected] #1
build: froyo.ugjk4
Is that all correct? The kernel seems like it might be wrong?
can someone post the modem.bin for us captivate people.
That is identical to mine which was never updated from original
Kies said i already have the latest version...
One more question..
I am trying to get my phone to full "factory" defaults with jk4. I've got jk4 running, is it OK to run a "format internal sd-card" and wipe data/factory reset / wipe cache partition?
What is the benefit of 2.2 over 2.1? If my kies at home doesnt work, would Bell store upgrade for me?
I was hoping for the newly leaked XXJPU with all the positive things heard from it. But i certainly won't bash this one !

Loss of data connection ( and buggy phone part)

Hello
i just updated my galaxy s to the leaked 2.3.3 build from a danish 2.2.1 build i tryed reflashing it since i had problems with no data connection and errors in phone part ( though it worked, just a bit buggy) the reflash and repartion that i choose to do since i had voodoo kennel on my phone before did not help either, so now my phone cant use data connection
anyone have any suggestions? maybe it is a common error? i tryed googling and looking a bit but did not see anything.
I really appreciate the help, another thing i would love would be a 2.3.3 build with danish keyboard/speech in it.
Are you saying that you flashed to a phone that was lagfixed .
If so its broke your phone Undo lagfix before flash is rule one .
You will need to flash stock rom using Odin to get a working phone .
jje
Okay but i flashed the version that was out in the forum with Odin, what Rom should i flash to get back to a state where i can flash 2.3.3 with Odin again? and will i need to re partion, i kinda thought that would take care of the laggfix?
I'm not sure what your problem is. Just take the files from the JVK Rom (PDA, Modem, CSC) add a pit file (512.pit or what you want) and select repartition and click start. Don't need to disable lagfix if you do it that way.
Sent from my GT-I9000 using XDA App
Hmm okay the thing is i already did exactly that and still no data connection :S
Maybe i need to flash a kennel without laggfix?
I have now flashed samsung stock kennel for 3.3.3 , i have reflashed 2.2.1 the version i get from my kies in Denmark and everything works in 2.2.1, now i tryed reflashing 2.3.3 and i still got the same problem as before any help would be much appreciated
Sounds like you need to put in your telco specific APN to get data working.

It's not a file, it's the name/details of a server on your provider's network. If you didn't back up your original firmware, you'll probably have to call your network or check their website.
Word to the wise - reposting the same question after 7 minutes won't win you too many friends
Danish 2.3.3 keyboard - best to wait until the Nordic firmware is released/leaked.
Thanks the VPN from my network provider solved it!
btw i did not repost any question it was not the same question and i only posted course i was still in doubt.
again thank you all, properly never would have throught of VPN Settings by myself
No problem, glad you sorted it out.

Same Problem here as well..Need some solution badly.. :/
I think you have to restore it to stock rom using seus, re root the phone and install a clean custom ROM. you have to do full wipe, before installing the ROM not after. Hope it helps.

[Q] Galaxy S4 i337m - NO AUDIO WHATSOEVER

Total Noob here. I have a GS4 (Canadian Rogers Model i337m). When flashing CM 10.2 I wiped dalvik cache, system, data, internal storage, and cache (to get all the samsung stuff off my device) and formatted data. After flashing, everything worked perfectly EXCEPT there is no audio from anywhere. No systems sounds, no notification sounds, no music (headphones don't even work), absolutely nothing. Does anyone have any suggestions? I've been racking my brain all day trying to figure something out. Thanks.
Stock firmware?
sent from my mobile device
Ive got the same issue, I was running OMNI rom until i got fed up of the phone powering off on its own. I decided to flash back to stock rom with odin then flash CM11 nightly. Thats about when I lost sound. Not only do I not have sound, the phone freezes up every time I use an app ( even dialer ) which requires sound. I've since tried flashing back to stock again in Odin, even trying different stock firmwares. I've still got the issue and the phone is basically useless as a phone without sound... Please help. Is this a modem issue? If so, how to I flash a new modem that will work, and doesn't flashing stock replace the modem anyway? Could this be a bootloader issue? I've been flashing roms and playing around with android for a while but I'd still consider myself a noob.
Same
I got the same thing here, No music plays at all, My phone completely froze when someone tried to call me. also complete noob at this stuff.
I did find a couple ROM's that were i337m 4.3. But none did anything, but did the same thing. All had no audio at all. I also get screen flashing a lot (That could just be my water damage)
Wouldn't mind finding an answer for this either!

Lost data trying to Install LeeDroids Nougat

I was on Santod040's Perfume Port 1.96.617.20 8.0_g CL801953 release-keys with the 1.85.605.8 firmware. Backed up everything in TWRP. Downloaded LeeDroids latest stable version then formatted my SD card in TWRP. Then installed LeeDroid unencrypted with MM firmware. Had no data, so i then restored my backup. to Perfume and now i get no data still.
Prefered Network is LTE/CDMA
APN is set to Verizon Internet
Not sure what else it could be

Tried Global and I wiped the radio then reflashed new radio and latest MM firmware.
The weird thing that worked was re formatted my SD card again then installed LeeDroids MM Rom Encyrpted. and then i got data back. Re formatted SD then installed Nougat switched to global and now i'm golden.
Thanks for suggestions though

yea, i wiped radios, ruu'd.. all of the things. I couldnt get any advanced service back, new sim, ruu, radio wipe and i was good to go. My thought on it is, if people want to switch CID, install stock nougat, turn advanced calling off prior, i think it will make life easier in the long run

Good thinking. ATM, it may be worth the trouble (depending on how long Verizon will be :laugh since the only thing that really are giving up is HD Calling, and I haven't personally confirmed that I have it working on my current setup anyway. Honestly though, I am very happy where I am right now, N is running great and a reboot brings my to stock ROM if in a quick pinch thanks to multirom (how is this the first device I've used this on:silly
