How To Fix Nexus S ICS Wifi Issue

If you have received errors like
Set ISCAN for wl_iw_combined_scan_set failed with -22
or your wifi turn on switch hangs, this is the solution for you
its appear that ICS is unable to set right frequency when your sim card country isnt US or EU, odd thing, but common thing about us (people who have wifi issue with ics) is that we don't live in us or eu.
fix is fairly simple, you need sqlite (which i got from http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1067944)
and all you need is to run
sqlite3 /data/data/com.android.providers.settings/databases/settings.db "INSERT INTO secure (name, value) VALUES ('wifi_country_code', 'EU');"
turn wifi on and off, then you are good to go until next reboot.
the thing is i wonder where i should put this command to make it run *at right time* on next login, /system/etc/init.d/99nexusinit didn't did the trick, any idea?

Sql you used is just for one session, use the one i added 1 line to and it should stick on reboot.
INSERT INTO secure (name, value) VALUES ('wifi_country_code', 'EU');

i received this error
SQL error: cannot commit - no transaction is active

Can read out of the database with
Select * from secure;
If not then there might be somethin wrong with the connection.
In this case add commit; to the original code you used.

use adb push to upload sqlite3 to /mnt/sdcard, run the sqlite command under the adb shell.

Guys i know this is not the correct place but someone can please tell me "what to do if i have lost my password" ??
I am using Windows 7
Laptop of Sony Vaio
Please someone help

I know that this could possibly be used malicously but if you can access another computer, download OphCrack and burn it to a CD or write it to a USB drive and you can use that to recover your password. I've used it multiple times on Windows Installations for friends who forgot their passwords on their home computers, it does work. xD

I use a program called Kon-Boot, its good enough for most tasks, it wont help if your part of a domain, it also wont help if you have encrypted any drives or folders.
it wont tell you the password
so how does it work?
well, the short answer is that it hijacks the boot sequence and bypasses the password check, you just click on the user and ignore the password, once your in you can change your password or a safer option is to add another admin account, then log in to that and change your password. The problem is if you encrypted anything, then im afraid to say your ****ed!
you see the encryption key is part made up by your actual password, so by using my method to change the password, what you will end up with is data still encrypted on your old password.
the ethical uses of this are limited, but there are uses which is why im happy to share it, just don't **** around if for any reason some data is encrypted and the password is likely to "turn up" again because once you've opened this bag of worms you cant go back so essentially the data will "vanish"

SD-ROM: Screen locked with pattern and cannot unlock

I forgot the pattern of my lockscreen, tried too many times and cannot unlock with google account.
Unfortunately wifi, data and developer mode is turned off.
Was able to locate and extract gesture.key but how can I remove it from data.ext4?
SD-ROM is containing all my phone numbers, messeges etc.
Please help, thank you in advance.

How have you found and extracted gesture.key?
To remove something from data.ext4 you could mount the file in Ubuntu/Linux which will grant you access to the files.
Code:
[CENTER]sudo mount -o loop data.ext4 ~/Desktop/data
then edit it and unmount it
umount data.ext4[/CENTER]

Had a quick look and if you aren't given the option to reset it, after ~5 failed attempts you could try downloading lock screen bypass from the market to see if that works, I'll attach a copy of the apk if you cant get it.
Just tried it and its 5 failed attempts for me, then the offer to reset.

unfortunately this did not work for me. think it is locked at a different point.

I'm glad that you could solve it and unlock your phone, but I am curious, why it didn't let you unlock using Gmail without data.
Sometimes, I unlock the phone using gmail and pass EVEN with airplane mode on and no WiFi. Isn't it supposed to check with your already registered gmail account? thus no need for an internet connection?
Anywa, enjoy your phone.

Glad you got round it, I didn't mention anything adb wise as I though you said debugging was turned of, at least you've learned something. And being able to edit the data.ext4 on a desktop has it's benefits.

Yes Marvlesz, was also strange to me. Tried the same with my ICS Pad without any connection while I read somewhere that even wifi should not work only when the device is connected to USB!? Maybe it depends on the version? My phone was on ICS 4.0.3 (IceCreamTosti_v0.10_AOKP_M4) with Tyatung Kernel 2.6.32.
Now after all my installation got broke but I can access my stuff, finally save it and reinstall newer version while I have a good reason now to do that

Yes HypoTurtle, debugging was off and I did´nt use adb. With your kind help I mounted data.ext4 and changed settings.db in linux.

[Q] [SOLVED] Forgot my pattern & Email (Password still in mind)

Hallo,
I am using CM7 on my little Samsung Galaxy Y, but forgot the pattern I set.
I tried a lot, and after that, I remembered it again, but it is not useful anymore, it is asking me for my Gmail account, I KNOW the password, but can't remember the email anymore.
How can I get my SMSs (I only need them for very important number there).
Thank you.

Do you have usb debugging on you device? If yes, download android sdk and run those commands:
adb -d shell
sqlite3 data/data/com.android.providers.settings/databases/settings.db
update system set value=0 where name=’lock_pattern_autolock’;
.exit
exit
adb reboot
Click to expand...
Click to collapse
or
adb shell rm /data/system/gesture.key
exit
adb reboot

If you dont have, i think a factory reset is needed :/

This might be silly but it might work too (I have not tried but heard that it works) Insert sim card in your Galaxy Y, Dial your number from any where else (Frens cellphones you might pay him for that) Accept the call Don't end call rather press the button one at middle (it minimize your calling process) and navigate to Message and note that number.In that process try this too If play store can be started while minimized calling download any lock-screen application apply that And you should not flash it.
If above didnt work few suggestions Just copy the clockwork mode to SD card (Send it via SD CARD) Now backup the OS and flash it to default rom if you want to use it now for calling purpose or using it and you can revert it's backup and try entering password again in future.
If it really worked Please look at thanks button below

But if he recover the backup the password will return too I think.

[Q] How to reset password, when data and wi-fi are turned off?

My friend has Samsung GT-S6102, and in trying to change the pattern lock, he did something wrong, and now is locked out.
The next step is to enter his Google account login and password, which will let him log on and create a new pattern lock. The problem is, the phone has Wi-Fi and Data turned off.
I think he is now dead in the water, with no options left but to factory-reset the phone.
Is there any way to get the phone to connect to Google, even with Data and Wi-Fi not connected? If we could get 'data' or 'wi-fi' on, we would be all set - but unless there is some diagnostic way to do this from a connected PC, I can't see much else we can do.

How about if I both hit "thanks" (already done!), and also say thanks!!
I've been here to xda-developers before, and now have my own device to use to learn rooting and installing custom ROMs. Haven't done it yet. I suppose this might be a good time to learn, but if I mess up, my friend isn't going to be very happy with me.
Let me ask you two questions - if the device is "locked", how can I even root the device? Doesn't it have to be on, running, and ready for whatever it is I need to do? A second question might be how I find the information here to learn how to 'root' a GT-S6102, but I can try that in the morning, when I'm a bit more awake (am now in India, and it's 1am).
I was thinking there might be some kind of diagnostic code that could be sent to the phone from a PC, even though the USB connection is probably not on right now, to "wake up" the data or wi-fi, which would enable the normal process of connecting to Google to continue.
I think you're suggesting I root the phone and flash a new OS. If there is a way to do that, isn't there a way to just turn on data or wi-fi?

I found this from a list of codes:
#*3282# Activate/Deactivate Data
Now, if I could only find a way to get that command to the locked phone....
If I do some of the steps you suggested, can I get to a step where I can give the phone those instructions?
here's the full list:
http://www.netlife.co.za/tech-guide...hones/113-samsung-secret-codes-and-hacks.html

1 - questions belong in question & answers section NOT development section
2 - answer has already been given plus iv posted it loads of times so please use search facility
Download aroma file manager & place on route of sd card (take sd card out & put in pc card slot or card reader)
go into CWM (flash temporary cwm zip if kernel doesn't have cwm)
mount system
flash aroma file manager
goto data/system
delete gesture.key
delete password.key
Restart

Thanks to all of you!
Sorry for the thread being in the wrong place....
I just came back here to say I found what might be the answer, which in fact originally came from xda-developers.com Here's the link, but since it points back to here, I probably don't even need to post it:
http://androidlegend.com/how-to-crack-unlock-pattern-lock-of-any-android-device/
Anyway, thanks to all of you for your help. Without this thread, I'd never have known where to look for an answer.
Any further questions I will post in the appropriate place.

Go In Recovery Mode And Wipe Data and Wipe Cache Partition ..........

Thanks to everyone for all the help. It's no longer an issue. They took the phone to a shop and had it reset to new, so it's in effect a brand new phone again. I guess it will at least be faster now.
I find it hard to believe that Google did things this way - it's good for security, but if someone's phone has data and wi-fi off, and a kid plays around with it and it gets locked, they've in effect, killed it.
I guess it's time for me to stop reading, and start doing. That's the only way I'm going to learn this stuff. Again, thanks!

did u reset d phone?? if no here is a work around .
1) insert a sim card that has incoming call facility (u must know the sim card no)
2) make a call and receive it
3) don't hang up.. after receiving when u r in call window it will let u access d notification dropdown window.. now u can activate wifi or data network mode as u wish..
so no need to reset!!

yes it will wipe all user data - this includes installed apps (not system apps) contacts sms and so on
if you want to remove the lock screen password you can do it without wiping data

So when i do this process does my active SIM have to be in the device as well?

it will remove the lock screen - if the lock screen does appear just enter anything you like
your sim card does not have to be in to do this although if your phone is set to not allow access without a sim card in you will need to edit your build.prop to allow phone use without sim
