If your wifi is unstable try this!

I had installed a wifi booster app from the market and didn't see any difference so when I uninstalled the application my wifi connection at home became unstable. It kept slowing down and freezing so I got my board and started surfing the web and found this solution from gs3 reviews website. It worked like a charm! Wifi back to normal.
White Hot! GS3.

just tried this .. well see how this works out and come back and post my findings. good find.

That does work but Wi-Fi will suck down a fair bit more juice. At least it did for me. Cycling Wi-Fi also works but more annoying. I believe the culprit is actually my aging wrt54gs.

hrmm..why can't I see the attached thumbnail?

Open it in a new tab.

This only works until you reboot the phone. Then it resets it to "on"

This has been posted so many times

Thanks I just turned off the wifi option. I will try it out for a while.

I am turning mine back one because my phone will not turn off the display/hibernate.

I'm pretty sure this is the same as "best wifi performance" on the one x. It maintains a better connection because is disallows the phone entering sleep mode. Could be wrong however......

You can use the "anycut" app from the Play store and select the activity named "wifi debug screen" which will create a direct shortcut to that menu.

ROMs and Modems

Hi everyone,
I had been running LiquidSmooth 3.1 for several weeks with great results. I thought I would try something else for fun, and flashed a Google Edition ROM by Danvdh. It was not to my liking and I quickly went back to LiquidSmooth - however now I am finding I have very poor signal strength. I no longer receive signal in my garage, or at work, or even in my living room where this was previously never an issue. Right now I am sitting at my computer beside a large window, and I have LTE connection. By the time I have finished typing this post, I have no connection
I have now upgraded to LiquidSmooth 3.2 but the issue remains. I will lose my connection to Rogers and when I go to Mobile Network Settings > Network Operators it only sometimes finds a connection.
Is there any way I can test my antenna or flash a Rogers/Canada modem that might help with this?

Well this is interesting...let me provide some background info.
A few weeks back I broke the screen on my S4. I purchased a screen replacement on ebay for $120, but it was for an i9500 which has a few very small differences, and required taking an xacto knife to some plastic moulding to accommodate some different IC clearance. That worked great, but I noticed that my screen was constantly black when on a phone call - as if my proximity sensor was always detecting 'near'. Sure enough, I used an app to confirm this - and this is common after screen replacements with non-OEM screens. A fix for this is to put a small strip of electrical tape between the two proximity sensors so they can better detect a 'difference'. Put the phone together, and this worked great, my phone now properly detected proximity, I felt like a champion, so I wanted to flash a new ROM.........now read post 1.
I've attached a screen recording I took of it just dropping connection...and reconnecting, almost flickering in and out. It seems to average about -120dbm (10%), but I'm not sure whats normal. It seems to drop connection around -130dbm.

I've been able to flash a new modem I337MVFLUFNI2 but my issue still exists. Is it possible that I physically damaged parts of the antenna when replacing the screen? I am very confident working with electronics and there doesn't seem to be any physical damage that I can see

When using Danvdh GPE rom you have to manually select LTE from access point menu. Did you do this?

I would suggest you flash back to stock fw to your current boot loader. Of its mdj current then flash back to mdj stock via Odin. You have a miss match of hardware and perhaps a mismatch of uuids is your issue?

Then re-upgrade just modem. Be Sir to do this all with aim card out and no WiFi or else when on stock you may auto upgrade to Knox boot loader !

That sounds like a great idea. I found this thread that says my default would be I337MVLUEMK6 (is this my bootloader version?) . I went to samsung updates and found my phone the SGH-I337M with the MK6 and am downloading it currently. Will this flash my bootloader/ROM/everything back to stock? Or will I have to find a stock ROM as well?
I have selected LTE from my APN menu.
Attached are a couple screenshots of the Network Signal Info app I downloaded which has been a great resource. You can see that at some points I jump from great signal to no signal, almost instantly. I believe that this might be due to something that happened when I swapped my screen - perhaps a grounding issue of some sort....researching how to troubleshoot this as well.
Thanks for stopping by my thread :highfive:

Flashlight and flash mostly didn't work

On stockfirmware the flashlight and also the flash didn't work most of the time (battery >90%).
Only sometimes when connected to the powersupply it works.
When it works and I switch on the flashlight with connected powersupply and then I disconnect the powersupply, the flashlight is still on and can't be switched off.
First I have to connect the powersupply again and then I can switch off the flashlight.
I allready did a complete wipe, but it won't be better.

Same here, flashlight works most of the time tho, but flashlight on camera never works, it´s grayed out.
Did you report the bug?

I reported that bug now here: http://community.cyngn.com/t/some-m...lash-flashlight-poor-wifi-back-button-led/208
feel free to jump in there and post something yourself, the more people the better

I have noticed that the flash would only work if you use "Automatic" mode. In all other modes, the flash is greyed out.

I reported the excel-calendar-bug.
I'm a bit frustrated, because it seems nothing happens

Over a week without any update, but more and more bugs are reported, and the company/support doesn't give any feedback or even react on emails or reply on the cyanogen-community-board
It's really sad, because I think it could be really a great device, but it seems ZUK doesn't have any type of support.
If soon nothing happens, I will send it back and this was my first and last try with this company.

Anyone with the solution of camera flashlight.

GPS goes wired so often

Hi guys,
My GPS is not working so much well, at all.
I'm on NuclearROM right now but I'm kind sure that the problem was there also with other roms and ZUI as well.
If I use the GPS on High Precision mode apps like gpmas or PokemonGO manage to recognize my position, but It's not a live tracking, It updates the position every tot seconds and the result is like a huge jump of position, not a tracking. (I can suppose that the phone use only wifi/3g to track my position?"
If I use the only GPS mode apps can't recognize my position, at all, gmaps and PokemonGO don't know where I am.
So... Anyone had this issue? Is my GPS broken or what?
Thanks.

Awesome mate! Thanks a lot, I was desperate!

Capacitive Touch Button Lights still on when G900F turned off

Hi all,
Just wondering if anyone else has this issue.
When I turn my phone off from Android it will not turn off. It gets stuck with a black screen and the lights on the bottom left on.
Howver, if I boot it into recovery and power it off that way I have no issues...
I am using AICP (7.1.1) but this issue happened on Lineage 14.1 also.
I reeeeeally don't want Touchwiz near my phone ever again so if anyone has a solution other than trying to see if it's fine on stock TW rom then all help would be grateful.
Cheers

Its a quirk with AOSP roms, happened to me too when i was on Lineage 14.1 but don't worry nothing's wrong
the bad part is it takes long before the phone fully shuts off, the only solution is a battery pull if you don't wanna wait that long

Oh brilliant! I water damaged it slightly (rubber seal on bottom getting old) and it wouldn't charge for a while. I happened to notice this issue after and thought maybe I'd f***ed it up. All is well it seems! :laugh:
