Are you on stock 4.1.83, or are you rooted?
If rooted, do you have Titanium Backup installed, or anything like Bloat Freezer?
Have you tried just rebooting?
More info please.....................and go slap your friend!..............HARD!

I have the exact same problem, i tried flashing the stock sbf, and also a factory reset but still have the same problem. I had to contact AT&T and i'm getting a replacement phone soon.

Apps like Titanium Backup, Root Explorer, Bloat Freezer, etc. all require root access, so if you are not rooted, that's a moot point. Are you on AT&T? If so, you could try taking it to an AT&T store, or call customer support. Should have no issues as you haven't messed with your phone from stock.

I was having the same BT issue where it wouldn't turn on. I went through all sorts of methods to fix it and finally got it working ... been working perfect ever since. Off the top of my head, I can't recall what it was that I did, but I'll think on it and try to repost my solution. If I'm not mistaken, it was a 3rd party app that was causing the issue, but I'm not 100% on that.
Do you happen to have a banking app installed? I know that when .83 came out, the banking apps quit working and I did a work-around to fix it. I believe that was the issue. I uninstalled my fix and the banking apps. I've since reinstalled them and used Motorola's certificate installer. BT still works well.

No I dont any banking apps on the phone

Banking apps shouldn't have affected BT. Didn't on my phone. The banking app issue was a blank screen after login.
Beamed in from WinBorg 4G via XDA Premium app

I had a issue where I couldn't turn my wifi back on (1.8.3)
When you toggled it on, it would show scanning, then turn back off. I had to flash sbf 1.2.6 to fix it, then OTA update again

Kool thanks much appreciated

No, the banking apps weren't the issue...it was more likely the mucking around that I did with the certificates that created any issue. Perhaps it was just coincidental as it happened at the same time and I resolved it after removing the certificates and banking app. In any case....mine now works flawlessly, albeit I'm not completely sure what I did to resolve it.

It's a APP problem, not a kernel issue...
I have this too... I think after installing the chrome app...
Do you have the chrome app?

I've only had this happen while running Miui gingerbread roms. Which rom/kernel are you using?

I HAVE THE FIX. Go so settings>apps>all apps (you will have to scroll the bar over to see this option)>download manager (not "downloads")>clear data. Should fix it.

With gb miui, that only worked for one or two downloads, then the behavior would return.
Not sure which rom the op is running, but that was the case with some gb roms. Luckily, I've long since upgraded to ics and no longer have that issue.

Same here but it gets annoying having to clear data a few times a day

I agree, it sucks (I'm using ICS rom.)
I usally try to download using another browser(firefox beta) when download fails.
It is a lot better than clearing app's data.

I use 5 different browsers then download the file using 1 browser at a time. So far. Most of the time the browser that least use do the job. In my case Mozilla Firefox

[Q] 4.2 Stock Leap WIFI

Hi,
Has anyone who has updated to 4.2 tried connecting to a wifi network protected by leap, I am unable to connect since the update, I know my credentials are still correct and valid as my sensation on 4.03 are connecting still.
Thanks Andi

About to find out.
EDIT: I'm on my work network right now and LEAP is working fine. I used the factory image to update after the ota borked maps and the network location provider.

Same issue happens to me .... unresolved
Hi!
same issue has been seen on my Nexus 7 since OTA update to 4.2.
Ii is also same that my credentials are still collect because my another device, Galaxy-S, is working fine thru leap authentication.
I used "Leap WiFi" from Google Play to set credentials.
Looking forward hearing some hints to solve this.

Thanks for letting me know, I wonder if we have slightly different implementations on our networks as I can see someone else is having the same issue as me.

Just discovered the same issue, will probably put off updating my Gnex to 4.2 at this rate.
My N7 now won't connect to my work's network. I've reached out the developer of LEAP Wifi Free to see if they will investigate.

same here
i'm also trying to connect to the company network after updating to 4.2 using the incremental zip file via adb
the credentials are correct, as I could log in with them using my old Atrix 4G and my collegue's Nexus 7 still on 4.1.2
I'll try to get into our office tomorrow and perform a factory reset (however I doubt it would help)

I've been getting some problems too, when connecting to college network. My best guess would be the new file structure on 4.2 is the problem why many things are broken...

a factory reset won't solve it.authenticating with a network needing LEAP credentials is still failing

I can confirm LEAP being broken on Nexus 7 with stock 4.2
How about pimping the gui whilst your on this google ? We have to use custom apps to achieve basic functionality for years now...

Confirm my N7 3G on stock 4.2.1 has LEAP wifi broken. Tried Leap Wifi, still no luck.
Why is Google so reluctant to officially support Cisco Leap? Before 4.2 update, you have to hack config file to get connection, meanwhile LEAP has been supported very well day back to my still owning iphone 3G. And in IOS you just don't care what kind of technology is used (WPA, WEP, how can normal user understand such terms?), just enter necessary information, normally just pwd, or user+pwd for LEAP, and that's all.

Broken also on S3, 4.1.2 official firmware. Weird, anybody got a workaround?

Hiya,
not that I have found so far, it is very annoying!

I have been using LEAP at work every day since I got my n7. No problems at all. I think it might be a good idea to post the settings to see if there is something you're doing differently.

What Rom are you using now? We are talking about updating to 4.2 or 4.2.1 stock Rom.

Just updated my Note 2 to 4.1.2 and having the same issue with LEAP wifi not connecting.
EDIT: Fixed, copied the /etc/wifi folder from a friend's 4.1.1 and changes permissions. LEAP now works

Can you please provide a zip of the wifi folder?

Tmobile APN

Hello community
Does anyone know how to modify the TMobile USA APN settings. I recently came from the HTC One S section where we had a mod to allow WiFi and USB tether without the plan. Anything similar to that for this device?

Did you try searching? there are methods that can be use but if you are using the N4 and a custom rom thats all you need. Remember this phone does not have any carrier branding.
It may even work stock but unfortunately my phone was not stock long enough to test that out... LOL
Edit: My friend connects to his wifi and using USB tether without a problem on his Note 2 and its not rooted so there is obviously a way

rooting it and custom rom will do nothing for you and getting caugth tethering, thats an untruth that gets spread around. tmobile sees your device on their network regardless, or you wouldnt be able to use tmobiles network. its just a matter of tmobile actively stopping you or ignoring you to a point. you can always try changing your browsers user agent, that helps sometimes, but they eventually catch on. to get to the apn settings, you dont need root. its in the main phone settings, more, mobile network, access point names..

Ok to clarify are we speaking about you turning on your wifi then connecting your phone to a pc and streaming over the internet that way? I know it sound crazy but my friends Internet card and wireless card in his pc do not work and this is how he connects his pc to internet.
Also I use ES File explorer on my Note 2 to tether and straight with my N4. I also use chrome if connected to a laptop. I may have just gotten lucky but i have not seen the T-Mobile page pop up on my since I got this phone. But thats just me

I am running SlimBean with AK kernel AK41. May I add that wifi notifications and all necessary phone options work flawlessly for me. Also battery life is quite good, I did update to SuperSu and it was draining my battery so I switched back to 1.41 :good:

Strange battery problem 100℅ to 0℅ straight

Since the update from jellybean to KITKAT I've had this peculiar problem with the phone. The battery drops overnight from 100℅ to 0℅ say withing 6-7 hours. First time the juice was sucked out of the battery by whatsapp and this time its Google search. I'm on stock 4.4 KRT16S. Please help me. Posting screenshots along.
I'm using ART runtime as well. An its happened since I switched from dalvik. So can anybody explain and give me a solution.

Are you using google launcher experience? if yes, probabily you will have to disable it and install another one. Another thing you should do is go in location services and turn all off, this should solve your problem.

Go in settings/apps/ look for google search and clear data/defaults/cache, this should work!

This problem has not occurred after the 4.4.2 update. But then anyways reset my phone and installed everything back again. Since then, I haven't had this problem. Using Google experience launcher v10.

I'm kind of keeping factory reset as a last resort.Because if I'm going to lose my data I might as well root at that point.And I even Tried updatding to 4.2.2 with the updates of Google search Uninstalled but it didn't work for me.. The drain is too much for me
Even reported it to Google. It's messed up how they let this pass because I've searched a lot and this issue is faced by many people and they have no solution but to Force stop the app or turn off Google Now
Edit:BTW Thanks both of you for replying so quickly

If I were you I would make a clean flash of 4.4.2 factory image

Hmm, I'll research a bit more and wait for my majors to end. By then if I get nothing then that's what I'm going to have to do.
