For those of you on Myn's RLS 5 with slow internet

There is a small issue with an app being slightly outdated. If your internet is slow there is a very simple fix. Go to the Market and download Ad free and follow the instructions. If you already have it, update the host file, click revert then reboot and bam you're set

Thanks! It looks like the fix broke the Market theming, but it's nothing I'd lose sleep over.

The fix did not break the market theme they have been slowly pushing a market update that broke it. If only they would wait till min is putting out a new update to push these things we would be all good

As was stated above, it's coincidence if installing this app made your market get updated/lose it's theme. Google's been pushing out the new market for a week or so and you finally got yours. Don't worry, Myn will theme it up when he gets the chance

I tried this because my internet has been really slow latly I don't think it made it any faster and it did make market UN theme

I flashed it and at first after the reboot, it didn't seem to help, but its going fine now.

WTF adfree has NOTHING at all to do with slow internet speeds....

Of course it does.

*sigh* Yes it does. Let me guess, you have no idea what's going on, do you?
In the last release of Myn's ROM, he implemented his own hosts file on the back end. Something has happened in regards to that hosts file. Not certain exactly what changed or expired, but the result was that folks who tried surfing web pages that served ads would take a great deal of time to load. Essentially the hosts file was redirecting somewhere and would attempt connection and wait until it hit the timeout limit.
Thus, the most direct resolution, in lieu of Myn's recent absence, is to grab AdFree from the Market, and update your hosts file.

BOOM! That fixed it. Thanks OP for making this thread! A+

Man wish I would have seen this, reason I flashed cm6 after having slow internet on myns

Worked for me. Thank you!

Yep...just installed Ad Free and market is back at the green instead of Myns black. However the internet is MUCH faster
5-6MB down and 1.5MB up on 3G
Thanks

Thankyou!!
OP, a very big thankyou must be said, I honestly can't tell you the last time I had a web page actually load and it has been driving me nuts. Now everything is back how it should be and running like a champ. Funny part is that I didn't put ad free on because Myn had already built in a hosts file, little did i know that's what the problem was.
Thanks again

do the host files to block ads affect internet speed for both 3g and 4g?

Awesome, thanks! I was going crazy reflashing kernels and radios trying to get it too work properly.
Had I actually taken a second to think about it, the solution makes perfect sense. Thanks for pointing us in the right direction!

3g works great now, obviously fixed, but 4g is not. Symptoms are identical to what was happening before installing adfree. I tried reverting, updating host file, updating prl, cant figure out why 3g loads in 1 second, 4g just sits there forever
Edit... After further testing it appears my 4g is actually working, just really ****ty. Maybe a bad time of day, maybe the 4g network is having problems, who knows. Its sad that 3g seems to be quicker for browsing, 4g is better for video or large downloads...

Thanks for advising everyone
I greatly appreciate it.

No problem Myn There was a GIANT clutter in your thread so I figured I could divert some of that if there was an actual thread dedicated that people would notice

i sugest to try flash <stock android host zip > from Calcu evio room tread,it reverts back to open internet,full speed...I tether much ,so just like to open evry single page on lapppyy...

Possibly how to get VERY fast download speeds using wired tether and 4G

OK so this only applied to file downloads unfortunately (I think) BUT,
When initiating only one file download transfer speeds for me typically average about 40 KB/s, but when I then start multiple downloads while the first is still going I've been seeing averages of about 130-150 KB/s. I've only just seen this while downloading ROMs while tethered with a 4G connection but hopefully others can try/confirm this. I use my phone for my primary internet connection so I found this very useful for downloading large files.

That's pretty slow for 4G. I get speeds twice that on my 3G connection.

While tethered to your computer and then downloading to the computer though? I get much faster speeds down to the phone as well, but as far as I've understood it the tethering speeds have been poor so far for the shift.
If it is while tethered, which tethering app/version are you running? I've tried wireless tether, wired tether, and easytether and all have seemed to result in the same slow results for me.

Try using azilink (I have a post on this in the themes and apps section), it is a USB tether which is free, open source, and gives me download speeds over 1Mb/s (depending on the server from which I am downloading).

Random but frequent browser crash

Starting yesterday really bad leading into today my wifi xoom browser is closing practically every time I use it. It will load any site with ease but as soon as my fingers touch the screen to scroll it force closes instantly. I don't want to assume it's the Flash 10.2 update because i did that update the day it came out. Anyone else care to share a solution or am i the only one? I doubt this belongs in the Q&A section but if it does then my apologies in advance.

I would clear the browser cache/data in the settings/app menu. You could always uninstall flash, see if its goes away. Also in the browser settings try setting flash to on demand.

The browser crash bug is fairly well know. I'm not exactly sure what it is. I'm sure it'll get sorted out, it seems to be a bit better with dolphin browser but I still get random crashes. I'm have a feeling it is some memory issue.

Im stock. Crashes happen mostly when opening new tabs while using a flash heavy sites i've deducted from my ability to reproduce it in this manner consistently.

I have noticed this started several weeks ago on all my mobile browsers. Posting from my new Acer Iconia A500 64 GB, (Yes 64 GB) using stock browser, seems to be very shortly after a random page load, it just closes.( no force close, just goes back to desktop) I did notice it would do this repeatably if I was trying to change my Yahoo mail options. Curiously, my wife has an Ipad that is also suffering from the same random close issue, using both Safari or Atomic browser, and we were recently out of the country with the Ipad, using hotel WiFi, and had the exact same issues, so not an isolated issue with my home WiFi access point. Thoughts???

factory reset will clean out your troubles.

Actually went to settings, browser, cleared data & cache settings, problem went away, no more random close.

This is absolutely too funny, posted a reply to this (immediately above) sayiny clear data & clear cache & problem went away, and had browser close as soon as I posted the responce. First time in maybe 2 days that the browser just closed for no apparent reason, but happened while I was posting saying "It doesn't do it anymore"

4.2.2 GT-N5110 - official update kicked in UK

someone posted on my google+, so thought I share with you guys
"Hey my friends! I'm currently downloading 4.2.2 for my GT-N5110! Finally! Mine is the UK model! So excited"
I know there's already a leaked beta version samsmobile, but seems like Samsung finanly pushing the offical update for GT-N5110, let me know if you are in US and getting the OTA update...

UK 4.2.2 firmware N5110XXCMH3 is showing up on sammobile.com

Will this version work on the US version?

i checked couple of people on my google+ Note 8 community in UK, they said it looks like they fixed S-Pen issue. A few reported that S-Note and Alarm is acting up, but wiping system cache and dalvik seems like doing the trick.

yeah...I am actually planning to install UK version if Samsung delays US version for some stupid reason. I have one more person told me UK version works just fine installing US model wifi tablet...so thank you for confirming for us, more people try, the better we will feel if we go with UK version

Does the multiscreen function work?

Anyone know if its possible to update via kies, or other ways without root and without wiping the data on the device, regaldress the region

Uhh, yea. The UK update flashed through Odin is a no-wipe update. Did it yesterday and zero problems. Actually seems smoother to me.

Did you flash the kernel as well? I thought that was usually included in a ROM but it shows as a separate download.

like jazzespresso posted earlier, I don't really see an issue with the s-pen. On the other hand, the periodic screen freeze has been fixed. That was bugging the crap out of me before.

Which is exactly what prompted me to flash the UK version. If the US version offers anything new and worthwhile, I will Odin that at a later date.

No screen freeze is great, don't notice any problems with the s-pen, and love that apps to SD is included in the applications manager. I was able to recover almost 1gb of internal memory.

I can't find the option on mine so I assumed Samsung had removed the option for some reason.
Also seemingly missing is the swipe to camera from the lock screen, which I had wanted.
I wondered about using another ROM instead but guess I would then lose some of the S-Pen ability and dedicated apps?

I flashed this via Mobile Odin, but I lost my 5 Ghz! How can I get it back?

I changed the 5Ghz channel on my router (Netgear R6300) to 48, and it found the 5 Ghz right away. Well, problem solved anyway Is there a difference in the UK version? I am trying to figure out why it won't see Channels 149, 153, 157 and 161, it did before.
One other thing, when I switched the R6300 to Channel 48 the router gave me a popup about the best wireless performance being with Channels 149, 153, 157 and 161, I am assuming it says that due to the possibility of more congestion, though being rural that's not an issue, and 5 Ghz seems to be fine on Channel 48.

they did not remove it, they just, for some strange reason, not enabled it - don't even ask me why. However, check Civ's custom ROM (based on UK Firmware), look at his post: [ROM][4.2.2][N5110-MH3][N5100-MH2] CivZ-FLEX-BEAM-REV3.0 + SphereEngine [18/sep/2013]
he did enabled it...
unless multi-users option is critical to you, I would recommend to flash Civ's ROM.

Wife Speeds and 4G speeds on the Note 3

I have noticed download speeds way quicker on 4G rather than my Wifi at home. I downloaded Hyperdrive RLS3 last night after i got off work, as i was driving home i noticed how fast it was downloading it took it about 20 mins to download a 1.2gb file. On the other hand when i try to download files that large on my wifi at home it takes hours, Is there somthing i can do to fix this i thought it might be a slow SD card but i dont think thats the case considering how fast its downloading on 4g. If there is a fix will someone please post. Thanks and

Inappropriate response - smack your wife around and make her go faster
Serious response - it's altogether possible LTE is faster than your home internet

Lol hope my wife doesnt read that first post you made......looks like wifi speeds would at least be the same as 4g that sucks. Owell it is what it is till it ant!

He made that comment because your thread title is mispelled. It says "wife" instead of "wifi"
You can download a speed test app to verify your speeds.
4G is definitely faster than my home wifi.

Your wife is faster than mine, Lucky guy.
Multiple factors involved in your home internet. Probably doesn't belong in this forum but I'll answer for your reference.
If you're using DSL, (AT&T) that's your problem. Acquire a faster service
Assuming you're using a cable modem service (Comcast, TimeWarner, Cox cable, etc) Check if your service is DOCSIS 3.0 compliant. If so, make sure you have a DOCSIS 3.0 cable modem. You can buy one yourself or get one from your provider.
Next step, Ensure you have an updated wireless router that has 1GB NIC ports. (Apple airport Extreme or Netgear R6300v2 AC-1750, come to mind) If you have a 10 year old Linksys G router, that's a bottle neck
3rd step ensure your service is set to higher download speed. For example Comcast has "Blast" option which allows an advertised 30MB Download speeds.
Another ISP is Verizon FIOS if it's available in your area.
I'm guessing your ISP or current equipment is your home internet speed issue. Hope this info was helpful.

Lol like the first part...thanks alot for your information, i will most certain make some changes. And yes i have a link system bought it from wallyworld. Thanks again for the info.
HAPPY HOLIDAYS. Sorry for posting in the wrong forum.
