[Q] Nearby devices grayed out - Sprint Samsung Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshoot

I am trying to stream pictures and videos from the gallery using the button on the top left to my xbox. Usually it shows up right away and but after installing this rom nothing shows up. I tried to go to my nearby devices settings but everything is grayed out. I was wondering how I can fix this problem. I installed Sacs Custom rom v3 and tried his newest v4 but still the same thing. But if I use a 3rd party app to stream it works fine but I would rather use the this way. Thanks for any help.

[Q] rooted slide with no wifi

I am having some major issues with the wifi on my slide. When I have the rooted software installed. I have tried both the stock cynogen 6.0.0 rom and the teamfenix version but still cannot get the wifi to work on my home network. I haven't found any other roms to try though.
fyi:
Works fine on stock rom
home network is open with no mac filtering or anything like that.
I also have heard that flashing the radio might help but I thought that was separate from the wifi and the antenna works fine. I also have no issues with a data connection through the network.
Also if someone could recommend a way of transferring the phone program from the sense rom to the root rom that would be great. (I like the way it gives you the number it thinks you are about to dial, makes calls more fluid actions)
So... ideas?

A few: The latest known radio for the slide is 7.09.35.10. If you have that you don't need to reflash it. CM 6.0 has a known issue with the wifi that you can fix by turning on bluetooth. You don't have to have bluetooth connect to anything, just have it on. I don't know why that works but it does. Or you can flash the latest nightly for the slide. You can find it through ROM Manager, but you'll need the paid version to do that, which is totally worth it, or find it in the cyanogenmod forum. However, if you go ahead and flash the nightly, beware that things may or may not work (although the last several I've run have been damn stable) and DO NOT POST BUGS IN THE BUG TRACKER!
Also, on a side note, bluetooth in call audio does not work. Meaning you can not talk on the phone through bluetooth. Stereo bluetooth works great though, so you can listen to music no problem.

Thanks for the heads-up on that, I just thought my bluetooth was being retarded.

How do I check what radio version I have?

If on CM6: Menu>settings>about phone then look at the baseband version. It's the last set of numbers. If on stock ROM it's the same sequence except after you go into "about phone" you need to go into "software information".

Where can I find the radio update? Can't find it on the HTC website or on here.
edit: actually - it seems to be working fine now for some screwed up reason. My roms seem to do that... if my phone is in a good mood when I do my nandroid restore, then it works even better than before (hey look that rymes). If not, then it says "F*** off and die, I'm not giving you internet you fascist SoB.". As you may understand my phone has major mood swings... I think it gets PMS.
The CM6 thread has a link to the latest radio I believe. Also, something that worked for me is under the WiFi Settings menu, press Menu > Advanced, and change Regulatory Channels to 14. I saw that posted in one of the CM65 threads and it worked for me.
I found something interesting out about my phone. Apparently those moods I talked about are just the wipe not working properly. If I wipe it 3-5 time beforehand everything seems to work better.
I can even get golden sun working on the gameboid which I had thought was too unstable to work (just that one game though not the whole program).

[Q] Syndicate Rom 1.0.2 wireless tether error

So im on Syndicate rom 1.0.2 and i like it alot. its realy fast and smooth. but ever since moving from 1.0.1 the wireless tether app (3.0.9) doesnt work. When i launch the app and click to start tethering it starts initiating the process but freezes right where its trying to use the hotspot and then it makes the phone reboot. Any other verion of this app will FC. Can some one help please? i have reflashed the rom properly a few times and that didnt help. I also tried the tether fix file that k0nane had on his thread and didnt fix anything either. I tried downloading the hotspot fix from Syndicate page and those links dont work anymore. Can some one please help?
EDIT: i have it set on epic 4g in the settings.
Also does any one have a way to fix the tws bug? (i do know the airplane mode trick but was looking for a fix not a workaround)
thanks eveyone in advance....k0nane, thank you for your hard hard work bro
You mentioned 3.0.9 - I assume you mean -pre9. The version included in SRF is 3.0-pre11. You probably shouldn't have flashed that fix, either, because it was for 1.0.1 only.
I'd suggest you remove any copies of the Wireless Tether app you've installed, and reflash 1.0.2. You won't lose any data. See if it works for you then. If it doesn't, uninstall the preloaded version and try others. Wireless Tether is a finnicky beast, but that's expected - the 3.0 branch is experimental for a reason.
Thanks. I will try that and get back to you. And yes I meant the version that came with rom. I will try and get back to you.
Hey I tried everything in your instructions and still the same thing. I knw this wireless tether thing is in experimental stages but it worked fine on 1.0.1. I actually wasnt able to use the pre10 on that rom version so I had downloaded the 2.0.7 version and that worked fine. Do you think it might have to do with the hotspot app ? because i notice wireless tether freezes and phone reboots when its trying to launch hotspot. I notice from the notification when hotspot becomes activated the phone freezes and reboots..
Issue resolved
Well, thank you for your help again. After trying every thing from flashing the rom to uninstalling and reinstalling the wireless tether app I got tired and almost gave up. Then I started playing with the app settings and it turns out that choosing the LG Optimus under Device-Profile is really stable and works the best for me, so far no issues.
I was going to say i had issues which were resolved by selecting EPic 4G(my phone ) in settings. I was able to launch and see it but did not have internet access until i selected my phone as well.

I also selected Samsung epic but this did not work for me. what worked was LG Optimus! it is strange but it works ;-)
I didn't have to do anything and it worked fine for me. I set up Security on it but that's it. Especially with all the ROM flashing I wonder why your phone seems especially finicky. Good luck.
I had errors similar to this when using the app, my problem was that I had 4G turned on already when launching the app. Turning 4G off, launching the app establishing a connection and THEN turning on 4G works perfectly though.
mine would not work either I went to settings and changed my device profile to epic 4g and my set up method to softtap for samsung. that seem to do the trick.

Internet problems

Hi all
I've posted this on another forum but its a bit dead so didn't get any help.
Recently and it is really annoying but facebook and certain other websites just don't load on the stock browser or dolphin pad.
Now the youtube app seems to work fine but loading a youtube video on either browser and it really struggles. However I can go on project free tv and stream an episode of a programme no problem. Every now and then though facebook etc can work fine and then I turn the tablet off and go back on it and it isn't working again.
So frustrating because it was working fine about 10 days ago.
Thanks
Anyone? Still having this problem, very weird and annoying.
I'm having the exact same problem. All apps work at full speed but any browser i use has trouble and takes a minute or so to load a page. XDA is the slowest site for me, taking 2 minutes to load a page. I have odined twice, rerooted, flashed 4 different roms, all the same. I go to xda on my netbook and my phone, on the same wifi connect, and they load xda immediately.
Did you guys recently updated Flash Player (or had it updated automatically)? I did and I noticed all flash-heavy sites work a lot slower, some videos don't want to play at all, some sites won't even open anymore.
I'll try to remove the latest update or uninstall it completely and look for older version and post back.

well, i tried uninstalling flash but wouldn't let me. so first i disable plugins on the dolphin browser, still no dice. then i froze flash, went back to xda-developers.com and it still just sits there.
I pullled my hair out yesterday with an intermittent internet problem, which I was able to solve by Rebooting my entire LAN and WAN (DSL Modem) systems.
The details of my episode are here: OOPS
Can't post the link, but it is on galaxytabforum.net under the General Discussion sub forum titled "intermittent slow stop go wifi operation"
If you don't want to read the entire post there, just cut to the chase on the bottom line.

im starting to think that there is a problem within the tab itself. i have tried "in paris" rom, overcome rom, stock rom, stock kernals on all, and pershoots kernel with each rom. all apps work fine for internet connection and speed. its just right now, my tab, when going to xda-developers, takes about 2 minutes a page load. google.com, duckduckgo.com almost most websites instantly load. last night i changed dns servers on my tab with no luck. others have reported issues with "find on page" within their browsers, its starting to make me think that there is something wrong with honeycomb itself. when i first got my tab, the internet on any browser was flawless.
Yeh thats very similar to my problem, if not identical.
Sometimes mine works fine and then it is a nightmare (mostly a nightmare to be honest)
This was a problem before flash was updated to 11.
If ur on wifi check if u r on ad hoc mode...
You are describing the exact same problem that I encountered (see post up about 3).
If you can, find another WiFi Access Point (one that does not goback through YOUR Modem or Router) and see if the problem persists. Go to Macdonalds or Starbucks and try your TAB.
If it operates normally there, do a COMPLETE system Reboot on your internet system.

This is one of those problems, I might not be able to explain. After 4 fresh odin attempts, multiple rom flashing, I was still having issues with xda-developers.com. As of right now, I decided, hey will it work faster thru orbot, after running orbot and going to xda thru the orweb browser, now my internet problem has completely disappeared. I can get to xda now either thru orbot, or straight thru no problems. This has me wondering if using odin on the galaxy tab ,doesnt completely erase like on my fascinate. On my phone, odin will take care of any problem guarented, i dont get that feeling with odin on the tablet. After one time I odined the tab, it put a wallpaper back on I had deleted a week previous.

Want HTC Sense back

I have rooted my HTC Wildfire and put Cyanogenmod 7.
Now I want the old HTC Sense ROM back. What should I do? Where will I get the ROM file for HTC Sense?
Thank you.
If you made a Nandroid backup (Which you really should have done in case you wanted to go back to what you had before), you can just restore it from the recovery.
If not, you have two options.
A custom HTC Sense ROM (Rempuzzle, kwbr, DK custom, ...) or a RUU (Stock HTC firmware)
try this
You can try leaf-htc-Sense
if you backup the old ROM you can restore it.
Look in the wildfire index thread in the dev section and get the safe zip file. Flash it from your recovery and you will have stock HTC, rooted and still have s-off + recovery

Network Problem
Hey guys, I had rooted and flashed my Buzz android phone. This had all gone successful. But now I'm having some major problems with my Mobile network. It had worked fine for about a week or so. Normally when the internet connected, the symbol turned green and allowed me to connect to the network but now it just shows the upwards arrow flashing continuously (in no order) and the downward arrow flashing once in a while. The connection varies from H and 3G but when i try to open any website like google.com it just carries on loading to no result. However when I connect with my WIFI it works perfectly fine. I used the CM7 built in browser AND opera Mobile and both gave same results.I checked with my 3 networks call centers, they said the network was up and running fine.
Please help!

Never had that while using CM7. It does move H to 3G but still connect. If you've confirmed that others on the same network as yours can connect to the internet, you can backup your apps using Titanium Backup and reflash the ROM. Hope it helps.

Problem With Custom ROMs And Wireless Tether (AP)

Hi everyone,
I've tried several different ROMs for my Canadian i337m device (e.g. SlimRom, Illusion, CM, Goldeneye, Pacman, Revolt) and the only one capable of sharing my 4G connection with my laptop through is Revolt. This is after about five hours of testing and tons of flashing. I certainly "forgot" the network after each test from my laptop so the connection would be fresh each time. I've tried using various levels of security, including none. My laptop can see the AndroidAP signal and get five bars, but then internet just never loads (except with Revolt, and with stock firmware too). FWIW, I'm on Win7 64bit and I have no driver issues.
Very strange! I've tried flashing a "better tether" fix, but that breaks ROMs (they won't boot, because it's specifically for a certain ROM). I've tried reflashing the stock kernel after each ROM flash, but more often that not that just breaks the ROM flash (stuck in boot). I don't know what to do except use Revolt, which isn't a bad compromise (better than stock) but TBH, I like Illusion's UI navigation transitions so much that I'd like to use that ROM.
Any ideas? Maybe there's a way to slipstream the stock ROM's MobileAP files into another ROM? (Probably not, because stock's settings panel is completely different from other ROMs', but just an idea.)
Thank you for reading.

I am encountering the EXACT same issue on my Rogers Galaxy S4, tethering works with stock firmware, but nothing else, I even called rogers and had them remove and readd the tethering flag on my account. The APN settings on the TW (stock) firmware are exactly the same as the settings on the custom ROMs. Wondering what is missing here.
Howdy,
Found the solution to my tethering issues, simply go to the Play Store and search for this app:
ISWAT Tether Unlocker Free
There will be a rather obnoxiously loud app that will play before it performs the operation to unlock your tethering, but afterwards, it works as it does with the stock ROM. You're free to uninstall the app afterwards and you'll retain your tethering abilities

Glad this worked for you. It's still working for me, but not quite as well, I have to rerun it everytime I restart my device now. Not quite sure why or what it does in the backgroud to enable the tethering.

Hmm, I also need to re run the app after every device reboot.... Oh well at least it works.
OMG thank you, I've been looking for something to fix this for a few weeks now but this did the trick. That ad for bigfish casino was really loud with my speaker mods, but hey, it works so it's good enough.
thanks again
