A500 - Intermittant WiFi (Apply patch??)

Hi
I upgraded to HC 3.2 and my wifi was great for the first 2 weeks or so.
Lately however, it seems to be stuck (quite often "obtaining IP address")
It can take 10 minutes or so b4 it connects.
What I want to know, Can I run the wifi fix on the Acer site on my 3.2version of
HC
thanks.............

I'm curio-us about this as well. My wifi isn't horrible but it does seem to be flaky. Like it will be at full bars one second and half the next without moving it.

so, you´ve tried it yet?
I´m have the same problem here.

No I haven't tried it. Not sure what it does yet. I would think it would be a firmware update for the wifi card, but I don't know.

I just went and tried it. Kind of a shot in the dark thing, but it doesn't seem to have any negative effects so far. According to the instructions you install it through recovery as an update.zip (included in the download). Then when you boot back into the OS turn off and turn back on the wifi. I did it and so far so good. I haven't noticed anything yet.

It's an apk packed in there, but it installs like an update.zip. I believe there's a firmware file that's flashed during the update process.

Just a quick update. My wifi strength hasn't really improved any but it does appear more consistent (i.e. sitting in one spot the signal doesn't appear to fluctuate anymore).

Not registered on network

Hello everyone, i flashed newest android 4.4.2 and i used it for about week. And today at morning, i couldnt call anyone. When i tried to call anyone, there was massage "Not registered on network". So i tried to flash another 4.4.2 ROM, and nothing helped, so i tried 4.2.2 and that failed. So i dont know what to do, to solve that. If you need any info about it, just ask me for it, and ill do my best to provide it. Thanks.

Still Same :|

It's it just me or others are getting Google play download error too all the time ? It says error connecting to the server with the error code, RSC: ..... Blah blah error?
I found the temporary work around by deleting the Google account and re signing it but it is again going back to normal throwing error while downloading any app from play store.
Net gurus said that it is because of the device code not matching up with the room installed, which could be because of nandroid backups that we are using. So to get rid of this, may be we require proper RUU for the dual aim English version mobile.
If anyone knows any permanent problem, please share us here. Thanks

I dont have vibration problems. But if you do and have xposed module installed, then find the module called "vibration for kk" or so from the list and then install it followed by activating it. Then it would probably works. From my observation so far, it is happening when the 816W rom is ported on either 816N or 816d model phones. Can anyone reconfirm, if this is right ?

For me it was NOT right. I have 816w China Unicom version with Sense 5.5 on board. I was trying to restore International version with Sense 6.0 from 2! different phones: from this post and from another site. I didn't see the exact mobile version here. But it was exactly 816w in the other place. And two times my vibro stopped working. As long as I understood, it is a regional problem (CIDs are different). International version is not designed for Chinese one.
I fixed it by installing KingSenseDS Six from this site. Now it works like a charm :victory:

I had the same problem when restored from another phone backup. The following steps helped me to solve the problem permanently:
1. Remove your Google account.
2. Go to Settings, open Apps.
3. Navigate to All apps.
4. Clear the data for the below mentioned processes: Download Manager, Google Play Store, Google Play Services, Google Services Framework.
5. Restart your phone.
6. Open Google Play Store, log in again.
7. Use it!
I hope, this will help you too!

Yes! I'm talking about the ROM on this site. You can find it here. In contrary, this version IS designed for DUAL sim phones and has problems with one sim. In the beginning of installation you would need to chose the version of your phone and follow the instructions. They are on Chinese but visually understood (when you make a choice of desired apps to be installed... you need to UNcheck the boxes... so, you check what you want to be deleted from installation... And I'm speaking just about check boxes! NOT about choices you make with lines in front. In that case you need to "front line" your choice!). In fact, this ROM has Xposed installed (if you choose it in your installation). But vibro is working perfectly fine without any changes! :good:

When you will install the ROM you will be given a choice of apps to be installed (there are a lot of Chinese progs you can get rid of on this stage). So, you can check in QQPlayer, Stocks, TVPlayer... an so on (I don't remember the exact names) to avoid their installation.
As a result, when I switched the phones language to one I use after installation, I didn't have any item on Chinese. However, BlinkFeed still works with China... I couldn't change it. So, I just switched it off.

Dear dunia suboh, dont worry at all in installing this rom. After you install it with english language, you may come across few chinese apps should you not select them not to install. Use the /system/app delete or root app delete from the playstore to uninstall the chinese ones that are not of your interest. Then everything else will be in english and you can enjoy it.
Btw, try to change the default home page in the internet app too, so that you would not get directed to hucui hompage all the time. You will enjoy this rom. If not go for jacktackle's soulrom6, http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2780507, which is completely devoid of chinese clutter.

how did you do? can you share with us?

Band Selection Menu?

With some Samsung handsets (like the Galaxy Grand Prime) you can key in from the telephone keypad "*#2263#" which brings you to a band selection ServiceMode.
This ServiceMode lets you "force" the phone to lock onto particular mode and frequency.
Where I live AT&T has Band 2, 4, & 17. I get all bands in my home but for some reason my phone only wants to park on Band 14 and regularly only connect to Band 2 (for about 5 min like every hour), I want to connect to Band 2 due to it being 15x15mhz with CA, So I get 50mbps download, while Band 14 is very congested, I only get like 2mbps download.
Does anyone know how I can access the hidden band selection service menu, or how I can disable other Bands?
I'm rotted BTW, thanks.

I've put it in diag mode using boot menu but it doesn't seem to have any effect...

I got myself into a bit of trouble trying out the band selection menu in the 4636 test mode. There are 3 options in that menu, USA band, cellular, PCS. Itapped one of them and now I can't make or receive calls no matter which option I set it to. Reboot didn't help. I clean wiped and reflashed truepure 2.5, it didn't help either. The test mode says my phone is connected to 4g and correctly shows my carrier.
Now, is there another setting that I can change to get it working again? Maybe return to stock rom can fix this? Please somebody help me out.

You need to flash the modem again.
I don't know any other solution.

Thanks for your advice. I just tried flashing ota modem, both by flashing with twrp and fastboot. It did not work. Fortunately I found a twrp backup I did when I first purchased the phone and got voice back. Remember to backup everyone, it might save your hours of work... and possibly money to get a new phone...
