I recently encountered a weird bug when SGSII would establish wireless "g" connection at 54mbps (instead of regular "n" at 65mbps) when doing 3G to wifi tether on my Lenovo Laptop.
My other 2 laptops work fine as expected, however after doing some troubleshooting, its concluded that the wifi router IP forms a "black hole" hope because of which the external communication to Internet dies after 4 or 5 hops (internal to the ISP). While doing a Trace route, the first hop (the IP of the phone's wireless router - 192.168.43.1) doesn't respond to the trace route ICMP requests and fails, however it does work for the next 4 hops before eventually dying after that.
This proves that wifi connectivity between the phone and laptop remains good despite it being downgraded as "g" network when my laptop is capable of "n" at upto 300mbps.
Never had this issue before KG5 or higher builds and it seems all the custom kernels and ROMs based on these newer kernels are affected.
As this issue is affecting only my Lenovo Laptop, not sure if it was ever reported.
Fortunately I am able to flash kernels based on earlier than KG5 build like Ninphetamine-2.0.x (till 2.0.5).
All Ninphetamine-2.1.x builds and kernels like "RAGEmod v1-T30" are also affected.
I am currently on "TOUCH X-treme KH3 2.0 'PERFORMANCE'" ROM and fortunately it seems to be working fine on Ninphetamine-2.0.5 as per my preliminary testing.
I have 2 more laptops which seems to be working fine otherwise on any latest kernels.
I would appreciate if someone could shed some light on the reason behind this bug as I am still investigating the cause and on a fix other than older kernel versions.
My primary usage of this phone is completely impacted by this bug and I hope Samsung would be able to resolve this bug before their next official release of 2.3.4 or higher version builds.
Hmm like the battery drain while charging bug on SGS1 I seems to be the only person shaken up by this bug which makes my SGS2 completely useless when using the latest kernels/ROMs.
My laptop has Intel WiFi Link 5100 AGN. Can someone having same/similar Wifi adapter report their experience?
Not surprised that Wifi tether is not used by most of us and hence such bugs go unnoticed and I paid a HUGE price of crashing my laptop which trying to fix the issue as I never thought it is the phone doing something weird which is preventing my laptop to get proper wifi connectivity.
Unfortunately no resolution till date. All the latest kernels and ROMs are affected. Not sure what is the issue as it defies logic why only one series of Wifi adapters are affected by this bug.
No resolution till date. All the recent kernels are still affected except the one on CM7 ROM.
Seems I need to wait for this update to become official in India before raising with Samsung here.
Ahhh.. Finally a respite after several MONTHS! The latest Siyah v2.5 kernel (http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1263838) with new Wifi Driver has restored Internet access through Wireless Tether though the speed is still limited to g instead of regular n at 65mbps. But atleast I can now switch from the good old Ninphetamine-2.0.5 kernel to this latest kernel I always wanted to keep. Such a RELIEF!

I have faced the similar problem. But how my problem was solved is give below:
Update you windows OS using windows update
Then manually switch off the radios and switch on
That's all and now I can use wifi tethering as normal. First check with second option, if doesn't work, then try updating the PC OS too.

Latest Siyah 2.6.x kernels have AGAIN brought back the bug on my face!
None of the other options you suggested worked. I have spent hours trying to figure it out and this is what I get when I am affected:
Tracing route to 8.8.8.8 over a maximum of 30 hops
1 * * * Request timed out.
2 164 ms 123 ms 127 ms 218.248.84.5
3 228 ms 68 ms 81 ms 10.42.43.101
4 79 ms 79 ms 80 ms 10.42.43.28
5 * * * Request timed out.
Doesn't make ANY sense on how the first hop is getting blackholed when it otherwise respond to ping requests. I am able to reach till the last hop of ISP before dropping off.
Can any network gurus out here explain this phenomenon? I am unable to locate any logic behind it.
Hope Siyah team fixes it soon for me to enjoy a glimpse of Voodoo Sound on my SGS2.
I have a Lenovo T520 and am using the KK2 stock firmware/rom with no problem whatsoever in tethering...using it at this very moment
It actually seems to be affecting only Intel 5100 adapters like on my R400. I have 3 other laptops and a mobile phone which are working fine otherwise
As I said, it defies logic why only this adapter has compatibility issue when even older Intel 39xx based adapters work perfectly fine otherwise.
Fixed in Siyah 2.6.2 kernel again
Finally got it fixed on Siyah 2.6.2 kernel (to be released shortly) while working directly with the dev "gokhanmoral" in the past few days. All seems to be working now like it was in 2.5.x builds for me.
I sincerely thank gokhanmoral for taking the pain of looking at this isolated bug by Samsung which has fortunately been resolved on the latest drivers (to an extend, still no n mode access).
Just downloaded Android 6 Marshmallow by turning off MXP-taking out SIM tray & rebooting without it..so any reason not to update to Android 6M on MXP (&/or for T-Mobile)? -Thnx
no visual difference, just a little battery improvements , so don't update no problem , just you lose working xposed modules if you update,
I'm ready to install & noticed in LTE Discovery that I'm on Band 4 (where I am now -some T-Mobile users brought up band 12 issues?), I get over 50 Mbps down & 5-25 Mbps up depending on time-position-server in SpeedTest app. I did have to hand cut my micro SIM from my Note 4 to nano size for MXP & worried it would be damaged but seems to work in both devices as fast as long as connected to the best server..
Anyone on T-Mobile care to comment as to why the Android6M update only shows when the SIM is removed & if there are reasons not to update yet (I'm otherwise running stock with a highly customized older Go Launcher version 4.15 apk that I like more than their current)? -Thnx
I have a Huawei P8 Lite since 3 months and one day when I wanted to share my 4G mobile data internet via Hotspot(which I do very frequently) it was not detectable in any other device I have. Also when I turn on WiFi it doesn't show any available connection (while in other devices it does show many).
Another question, considering to make a factory reset, the Huawei Backup system app does it backups apps and app data, like savedata and saved games???
Thank you to everyone in advance!!!
I had the same problem (with wi-fi hotspot) on any Lollipop based firmware (tested Play branded B144, B052, B170) - when moved to Android 6.0 beta - problem stopped occuring.

Thank you so very much! I would give more than 1 like if I could!
I'm disturbing you too much I think, but I will ask you for some details:
-The Marshmallow 6.0 BETA Rom it scares me just because of the word "BETA". Is it stable enough? Any big problem? Is it easy after to update to the Final Marshmallow build when it comes out?
-Did you had any problem with WiFi or just with the Hotspot?
-Did you root your phone? I didn't root just because of the possible problems when flashing a Rom or the difficulty of re-locking bootloader.
-About the Huawei Backup app, do you know if it backups the app data/savedata also? And about compatibilities when jumping from Lollipop to Marshmallow?
Thank you and sorry again for disturbing too much! You can answer only to the questions you know.

I'm using european 6.0 BETA (ALE-L21C432B524) and have not rooted the phone (I simply don't see any point in rooting at the moment). Xposed framework if working properly maybe could encourage me to root the phone but since EMUI is not 100% AOSP compatible - I don't see a benefit of using Xposed framework as I cannot predict which module will be working properly.
Going back to the 6.0 beta: System is very stable. I did have some problems in the beginning (I did standard upgrade via local update file). The problems were: callendar entries disappearing at random (and then reappearing), some other glitches with UI, etc - but nothing really bothering. All problems were gone since I made factory reset - so I DO RECOMMEND making factory reset after the upgrade.
Also - to be honest - as for the wi-fi hotspot - I needed this as from time to time I'm working from home and I need to set up VPN to my company each time (my internet provider however does not allow me to set up VPN tunnel). That is why I've tested few days ago if wi-fi hotspot option is working now (as I was unable to make it work on previous firmware) and... voila - it works just fine now And I'm able to work from home without issues.
As for the Huawei Backup - I haven't use this one so I cannot tell if the backup will work, etc (I have made the manual backup of all the data files (Music, Pictures,etc) before the wipe and my mobile is connected all the time with the google account so I didn't bother about making any backups of apps/contacts.
Good things I see in this beta:
- much more battery friendly (dual-sim enabled handset with quite a lot of calls is able to be operational for the whole day on a single charge (on Lollipop it was not possible at all)
- contacts and messaging apps are separated (yeah - I did not like that idea of having one app for everything as in Lollipop based EMUI
- contacts and messaging are not a battery hog now (on LP EMUI 3.1 they consumed 30% of battery each day and it was a pain to replace them with something useful as many apps on the google market just does not support properly dual-sim)
- in general the phone is smoother and feels faster
Bad things:
- lockscreen wallpaper seems to be stretched somehow and if you are making a theme of your own (as I am) - you would need to rebuild lockscreen image (fixed in B574!)
- double-tap problem seems to still exist (the problem when typing quite fast on ANY keyboard - you still get double letters, regardles of "gloves modes on/off" or screen protectors, etc, etc - Huawei support which I contacted - also confirm the problem STILL exists... but don't know WHEN it will be adressed... (fixed in B574!)
Neutral things (may be considered bad but seems to be unrelated of this beta and occur also on older firmwares):
- some software seems to be incompatible (but this also applies to LP based EMUI for this phone) - I had problems with starting up ExaGear Strategies (crashes), Winulator (crashes when starting StarCraft (but it seems to be bug with Winulator and ANY android newer than KitKat), fHeroes2 (colorful artifacts when on the "battle" screen, does not occur on map and on title screen - requires running OLDER version of fHeroes2 (downloadable from authors website and not from Google Play) and selecting 24 bpp color and smooth stretching) (problem with fHeroes2 fixed in the latest fHeroes2 update!)

Thank you very much once again! I really appreciate it! I would buy you a beer or a coffee.
The review of the Marshmallow Rom from you is clear and complete, and right too as you use it in work and me I'm just a student. Now I'm considering seriously to jump to the 6.0 BETA, as it looks more STABLE than BETA.
-Talking about the future and a possibly soon Final build of the Rom, do you think the update to that will be problematic or difficult?
-And you didn't had any problem with WiFi or you don't remember?

Always happy to help anyone (if only I have some free time)
Ad 1. Since I have no information about the official release it is hard to say.
However I see two options - either it would be possible to simply do the local update to the non-beta version or to do the downgrade to Lollipop (as per the official tool which is already available (you can search the XDA issues) and then do the upgrade again.
Ad 2. I'm constantly using wi-fi at home (due to the poor GSM signal) and I did not see any issues so far (I'm using 6.0 for at least month now).
Ok, small correction
I've tried today for at least an hour to create the Wi-Fi hotspot and it failed on 6.0. I've also tried on my fiances ALE-L21 with the same result - it was working for around 30 seconds :/
Previously I've also tried to work with VPN via Wi-Fi hotspot on this 6.0 but I (unfortunately for me) did not test long enough (just tried to connect and to run few company websites ;/

Ok then! Anyway I still hope a little bit to succeed fixining that because I haven't been trying to make the Hotspot work with VPN.
Thanks for letting me know!

Actually... You've quoted my "solution" ... I just upgraded to Android 6.0 (beta build) but also works fine for standard (non-beta) builds. Currently I'm using B574 and works flawlessly.

What you may do is to try the following:
- check the compatibility of the device which tries to access the hotspot (you can test by attempting to access the hotspot from another device and vice versa - check this "non working" device by trying to connect to wi-fi via router, another phone's hotspot, etc)
- if the above not working and if you are sure that you are on B574 and you did not make any factory reset after the upgrade - you may try to make factory reset and try afterwards
- you can also try to take the phone to on warranty repair (maybe something is not entirely ok)
As I've mentioned - it is perfectly working for me (I have B574, unmodified stock, without any custom addons and without root), but since it is not working for you - I'd suggest to try the above in the exact order - or maybe someone will come up with another solution.
Hello everyone !
I am French, I apologize in advance for my English
I have a Moto X Play (update, Android 6, stock rom) and I have a "problem" WiFi lately :
The phone works fine, except that I feel that WiFi is crippled, but only through time ! When I make a speed test, I was about 1/3 of the available bandwidth (2-3 Mbps on the 11 available).
The problem is even trickier because the Play Store updates are no longer (continuous progress bar), and all the more strange that I am the only one to have this problem : Motorola Moto G2 x2, LG Fino and computers portable display normal results and no problems.
I tried to change settings of the box, without result (having graduated in Networks, I know about networking, but I may have missed a few things ).
Here are the "tests" that I made, and that did not work :
factory reset
Using Wifi N (20 or 40 Mhz)
Connecting to a WiFi repeater
Enabling / disabling IPV6
Using Conectify to create an access point
Test on another box
I therefore appeal for your help. If you have ideas (without root the phone, I want to keep the Motorola warranty), let me know !

i am on RR ROM abd i have the "not continous progress bar" in play store too. but i can live with it. maybe its a feature not an issue.
Hello, the problem of the playstore is rather a consequence of the WiFi problem. I think contact Motorola monday.
Some users on Reddit are receiving an almost one gigabyte system update, build n° N8I11F. I don't see it listed, so, anyone knows what's going on?

According to the link to the factory image it is supported for Verizon based Shamu. https://developers.google.com/android/ota#shamu It is available to download and manually flash.
That last update on the google site is not it. The build number is way different. I think it is ota only till they update the site.

does radio img and bootloader been updated
I got the 911 mb update show up today on T-Mobile usa. Haven't installed it, I'm personally waiting for the factory images to be posted first. According to the others it sounds like baseband was updated, not sure what else. Hope we'll get a changelog or something.
I received the update notification yesterday on T-Mobile. Personally I'll wait to get some feedback before updating. The last time 7.1.1 was introduced, it caused some issues.
Project Fi user here. Downloaded and installed the update.
Still version 7.1.1 w/ patch level of 10/5/2017
Baseband is MDM9625_104670.31.05.51R
Kernel is 3.10.40-gc7ebca13933
Build number is N8I11F
Any significant changes is the system/apps?
So weird that a dead device gets an update out of the blue, and a large one at that! I'll be watching this thread and the ota and factory image pages for info as well! So odd...
Still no post on Google Factory Image page? ... Can someone post the .zip for us to download and install.

I posted the update in the oreo rom repo
This update is now officially posted on Google Factory Image site.
It's a bit awkward.. Did anyone find something different?
It was pushed via T-Mobile today at the just under 1G size. Haven't noticed anything different other than new build & baseband.

Just baseband, and ambient notifications. As far as I know. I thought the radio but no. Maybe modem too.
I got the update OTA, and I don't even have a sim card in my 6 anymore. I just use it as a wifi tablet for viewing movies, etc.
I applied the update and am sorry I did. Having 4 Nexus 6's I was so excited to get it. I have T-Mobile unlimited data and use it for my home internet with the hotspot turned on. Nexus 6 covered the whole house. After the update the hotspot is really poor. It seems worse with my older Thinkpads - t60, x61 tablet. Sometimes I have to turn the hotspot off, wait 30 secs and back on several times an hour. It doesn't seem so bad with my Thinkpad x230 tablet. ( All my computer run some version of Linux mint.)
I set up a cheap TP-Link range extender that is the only box that talks to the hotspot and that seems to minimize the problem. Though it was nice before not having to use it.
I also have a Nexus 5x that is running whatever the latest is, Android 8.1 or 8.2. The hotspot on that seemed poor but mostly in terms of range, and worse on the x60 and t61. No needed to turn the hotspot off and on.
Haven't noticed a difference in making calls.
There may be improved bandwidth though that is just a feeling based on doing as speedtest I was able to download at 35 mbs from the range extender through the the wired connection and that is 10 more than I recall ever seeing.
It may be that the older thinkpads get something out of wack where before they did not. And it gets things out of wack with a difference on the nexus 5x running oreo.
I would like to let Google know this. Any ideas on where to post it or send it?
