[Q] Ready to Return My Transformer - Apps, Wifi Issues

OK so I have had my Transformer for 2 days now and so far it has been little more than a paper weight. I have not been able to download a single app from the market. I've tried everything suggested here (cancel/restart, reboot, etc) with no luck. I have not been able to even update Google Maps or install Flash Player, literally I have not been able to install anything. I've tried stock and rooted plus I cannot get any version of Prime to install (finally got the root and CWM installed). Lastly, since this is a Wifi only device it is important to wireless tether with my cellphone. Two days and I still cannot get it to work, will not even find the device. Only 2 days of ownership and I am completely frustrated with this thing. I really like and want the micro SD capabilities but if I can't resolve this ASAP it will need to go back to the store.
Anyone have any suggestions on what all I can try? Please help!

Sorry, I'm a little busy to look for the direct links.
Just look-for the vanilla NVFlash then add the Prime 1.5 (nvflash version). Dump them together into a folder then run the batch file. Simple !
I just helped two co-workers with their brand-new TFs getting rooted this way.
Maybe 5-10 minutes top.
Make sure you unzip the downloaded Prime file (it becomes 4 files). Read the NVFLASH post and have the USB driver ready.

Thanks man I'll give it a shot here shortly

Good luck.
And if you ever have a need to get back to stock (refund maybe ?), there is a stock-ROM (nvflash version), just as easy to get back.

You don’t have to root or flash with a custom rom to get the basic stuff like Wi-Fi. Everything works out of the box as advertised. If something doesn't then either you are doing something wrong or there is a fault with your device. Did you try connecting to a normal Wireless Router? Honeycomb can not see some types of adhoc networks without installing a patch (i.e created by Windows, this may be applicable to some phones too, however it worked fine with My Galaxy S).

I guess you enjoy using command lines to unroot ?!
There is a nvflash package w/stock-rom available. Just double-click download.bat then wait a few minutes.

Hi, sometime the problem is in the market. not the device itself. I got similar experience with my HTC device. I've installed many ROMs but the market always screwed. So what I did was, just reset your device, when it asks the Google account, type in your email like this: [email protected] instead of just blablabla or [email protected]

I guess your phone is offering up an adhoc connection, which Android doesn't support out of the box. It should work fine with phones that offer up a true infrastructure hotspot. Personally, I think adhoc networks should die a horrible death, but I appreciate their necessity if that's all your phone can do.
Search for adhoc and you should find a solution to this issue. You can also try PDAnet (tablet) too.
Regards,
Dave

Maybe bad flash? try re-flash ROM again.

Ad hoc issue appears to be most relevant.
Market download issues =software issues not hardware. If you do not have any other wifi option then go to McDonald's or Starbucks and try it on their wifi.

Don't know if this helps, But I just discovered that the Transformer doesn't seem to like hidden SSID.
Mine connects fine if the SSID is shown, but once I hide the SSID it said out of range.
My EVO 3D, iPod, TV all work with it hidden.
Does someone know if you can setup the TF to connect with hidden SSID?
Thanks

Thanks for the advice all. I don't have a custom ROM on it yet, just rooted. I can't get the zips to work. Says cannot open (bad). Will try re-downloading for a 5th time and see how goes it. I did figure out the wifi issue on my phone - it was ad hoc as stated and it recognizes my phone now but still won't download apps (says it's downloading but never does). Tried cancelling and restarting several times as well as factory resetting the device. Does the same thing when I connect to my home network as well.

My Wifi network is hidden and I had no issue connecting my TF.
What type of router and what settings does it have?
I am using a NetGear WNDR3700 (802.11-g,n). The TF connects to the 2.4 GHz section over 802.11n.

Is it wise to be playing with recovery images and custom ROMS, if you can't get basic market functionality working?
Clearly before changing your TF from stock, get the market working, this is almost certainly a probem with your Wifi router...
The only problem I am aware of with the Transformers Wifi, is sometimes it does not getting a DHCP address when coming back from sleep (use Static IP), the TW release has this fixed, but the WW does not for some reason, i'm guessing they know 3.2 is incoming soon.

Follow these steps to get the market working:
I don't exactly know what the problem is, but I've had it on a couple of phones before. I do NOT have a googlemail account, so that wasn't the problem.
I deleted all cache/data from the following programs: Market, MarketUpdater, Downloads, Download manager, googleapps (anything that seems relevant)
now first go on a computer, open your gmail via gmail.com, send a mail, edit some contacts, just make sure you do something! Now reboot your eee pad, accept the market policies and see if it works....
If this doesn't fix it, then I have no options left

Update: I ultimately returned my TF (I had already suspected that I didn't receive a new device due to other issues and packaging). I received the new TF yesterday (A+ to Amazon.com). The new TF was 1000x better. Loaded right up, connected, market apps loaded easily, quickly and on the first try. All in all I am pleased. And the root and ROM installs worked flawlessly. Actually enjoying my TF now. Thanks all for the advice and help!

All the WiFi at my work are hidden and there at least 8 people with TFs here. Mostly Prime but some stock. None of us EVER had problem with hidden SSID.
At home my two WiFi are hidden. No problem.

I am running a Belkin N750DB, (WPA2 encryption)
Every other thing in my house works fine, hidden. I changed from a ASUS 300N router that was running same encryption WPA2 with no problem on the TF. I have check and doubled checked settings.
Stumped
Also have it set on 2.4 GHz over 802.11n

I also had a issue with the wifi connection on my first unit. Its would pause/stall all the time in the interent browser and market would give me connection error messages. Now Im on my third one and it has a bright stop on the screen but the internet works great.

[Q] Help, (Galaxy R) Apps don't work with WiFi, but work fine on 3G/GPRS

Hello,
I was in a different city for a few days.
During the time, I used 3G / Edge for apps / mail.
When I got back, I realised that none of my apps were working with Wifi.
Market was showing "No Connection - Retry"
Mail app showed "connot connect to server"
Tapa talk showed "connection error"
Youtube showed "connection error"
And so on with some other apps (Tunein radio etc)
However, only Web Brower works fine with WiFi
Also, all apps work flawlessly with 3G.
I also noticed, that once I started a download using 3G, & switched to Wifi afterwards, the download completed perfectly with WiFi.
I have a Micromax A70 (Android 2.2.1) & a Galaxy Tab P1000 (android 2.2).
They work fine with the same WiFi connection, so I guess its not a WiFi/Router/ISP issue.
So can any one help with this issue ?
I searched several forums/googled, but got no definite solutions
I tried stopping & clearing cache /data of market app, as well as google framework, but this did not work.
Other Info:
My phone is rooted, CWM installed, using steps found in this forum.
Thanks!!

Use Static IP ?
Ace-ing all tests.

Hi,
1. How to use static IP?
2. Why is a static IP needed. I didn't need it until I left town. My other devices work fine without static IP. Also, I use my phone's Wifi in 4 different locations so a static IP may not be wise. Now it does not work with any Wifi location. Again I repeat Web browser works fine with WiFi.
Friends, please read the question completely, before replying ... no offence meant ... I appreciate your replies.
Thanks!

You could try reflashing the latest stock ROM available for your country, it is probably because of some software bug in the system/system app's settings.
Do update here on the progress.

Hello,
I am using the stock ROM that came with my phone.
I had rooted the phone as described earlier.
I had installed GO launcher.
Anyways I backed up all my apps n data and reinstalled the CWM backed up ROM.
Now all is well again.
I an sending this post from my phone using wifi.
Im still curious why this happened.

Nice to know your R is working again.
It was probably a software bug which was removed when you restored from the backup.

I think you might have set up proxy
From the strange behavior, i can only think of one reason:
Since proxy works only for browsers on android and that too only for WIFI networks, I suppose that is the case. If accessing your wifi network requires a proxy, then you cannot do much about the problem AFAIK. Otherwise, you can go to wifi setting ->tap menu ->click Advanced and clear the proxy and the port.

WIFI problem after ICS upgrade

HI. Today I updated my non-rooted HTC Desire S to ICS 4.0.4 (3.0.16-gce03037 Kernel) from official site... Everything is working fine, but I have problem using the WIFI connection.
I can enable/disable WiFi, I have no problems with OS freezing when I switch on or off wireless, etc. I configured it properly (I did not restore any settings from my backup software) and manually, and in status bar I can see that network is connected. It seems that everything is working fine but:
1. I cannot access the Internet from the phone
2. My access point does not list my HTC as connected device at all
I am desperate because this is the only thing that is not working after upgrade, and I use WiFi a lot
Thank you all for helping regarding this.

I don't know if it is the same issue i was experiencing some time ago, but seems that older Wi-Fi router have some problems with ics roms and later versions (jelly bean). I have resolved by changing my router but you could try specificy a static ip address for your phone and see if it works.

No, I don't think so, but maybe the AES encryption could be the problem. Try swiching to WPA or WPA2 and see if it works.

Well, no. You could still try to root your phone, install a Jelly Bean based Rom and specify a static IP. JB is slightly better with WiFi than ICS so I think this is your last call.
Otherwise you can still use the pass-through internet option is "Stock option" of the Rom settings, but this means that the phone must be plugged in the PC.

Is there any 3rd party software which can manage WiFi chip? Something like option in MS Windows, where you can choose Windows to manage wireless or vendor application. Maybe it is not a firmware problem, maybe it is something with ICS subsystem/application which handles WiFi...

OK, now things are getting very weird!
First of all, I tried with "wifix" and bunch of other market "wifi fix apps", but with no success. After that I connected to my WiFi and try to ping my laptop which resides on the same AP and.... with SUCCESS! I looked at my AP statistics and I cannot still observe that my HTC is connected to the AP, but I could ping the laptop and default gateway (which is AP of course). I tried to do SSH to the HTC and that was successful too. It seems that my WIFI is working only locally, because when I try to ping public IP I get the destination unreachable error message. On the ifconfig's interface statistics I can see Rx and Tx counters increases on the wlan0 interface, but on the AP I still cannot see that my HTC is connected.
I looked up in to the routing table, and there was everything as should be. I am sure that there is no IP address conflict inside my network, I am sure that my HTC is authenticated and connected on the right wireless channel.
Guys, this issue is very weird, can somebody give some hint about it?
Please, see attachments there is much more info regarding this.

equally eelsec
Ok, here is the update in attachment, it seems that I have problem on the layer 3 of the OSI model. I think that I can summarize the following:
1. Radio is working
2. All MAC layer things are also fine
3. Encryption is ok
4. IP packets transportation between the HTC and router is not working.
I am not good with linux, and my phone is not rooted.What can I do to troubleshoot this part of the networking now?

Hello to all again.
Believe or not I still have the same problem. HTC support is USELESS... I tried with factory reset, and I still got a problem. I am loosing patience now... Can somebody tell me how to revert back to previous OS, please? Where to download, and how to install it?

TF300T Tethering Hell: USB, WiFi, Take your pick...

Hey guys If I am in the wrong place, please let me know. I got my TF300T just a little while ago and am now trying to use it as a my main computer. That requires me to able to connect to the net on it. It works just fine when I am connected to a regular WiFi network. However, I have no Internet connection at home except for my Sprint Motorola Photon Q, which I had been using tethered over USB to my PC to get the PC online. That worked fine. But this past month, I lost my job and needed to sell the PC, so all I have left is the TF300T. I was sure it'd work fine since I got BT tethering to work fine in the past with that phone. However, I was just experimenting at that point. Now, I see it's a little more ... complicated:
I set my Photon Q to act as a WiFi hotspot using PDANet+ a.k.a. FoxFi. Creating a WiFi hotspot, I can see it on the TF300T. Whether I enter the right PSK2 key or don't use encryption at all, connecting is impossible. It will "Authenticate...." after a minute or so and then try to get an IP via DHCP. Then it will "work" a long time and then drop the connection and try again. This is with the phone an inch away. I found it had a lot of trouble just getting an IP, so I tried setting it up with a static IP. I found out that PDAnet+ seems to default to 192.168.43.111 and the gateway is presumably 192.168.43.1. I tried some other things like .100 without luck. It WILL connect but the WiFi strength indicator in the bar stays gray. It shows up and down arrows as though there's activity, and Excellent strength, but won't actually work in any apps, incl. the default Android browser. Also tried pinging the host phone using the terminal only to get Destination Host Unreachable errors.
I then tried Bluetooth tethering. It will connect and works at a decent rate. But, the only programs that work are web browsers! IM clients, Skype, Google Play, Maps, Gmail, nothing else can connect. Android is convinced I am not online at all, yet I can browse web pages at full speed, which I am doing right now. IIRC PdaNet uses some bizarro proxy setup but they tell you on their site to "configure the proxy settings" and give you none of the details like IP or port! How useful. So, this does me little good. It's horribly crippled.
I tried numerous other WiFi tether apps, most of which hard crash the Photon Q so it reboots entirely the moment it turns on the hotspot. Barnacle and one of the WiFi tether apps (1-click? I've tried so many I can barely remember...) will launch, I can see it on the TF300T, but when I try to connect it says "ANDROIDTETHER or whatever the SSID is, Saved". No matter how many times you choose Connect or Forget, then Connect again, nothing. Gets stuck at "Saved."
I'd try connecting the phone via USB via the TF300T dock but I have searched heavily and cannot find any way to do it. Do I have any options at all?
Thank you for any info.

Hi
I'm tethering Internet from my SGS 1 with 4.2.2 rom with no problem at all. I think you have problem with wifi settings.
Try to set both phone and tab wifi to correct region. If you have phone set to USA and tab to Europe it won't work. You'll find it under Wireless-advanced if you have customised roms, for stock I don't know how to set it. Haven't have stock roms for ages.
About proxy, basic proxy settings in Android works only for browser, so you will need something like proxydroid on your client. I'm using it and for me it is working. For settings, check your phone settings-mobile networks-access points and copy them from there, or call your ISP and ask them for settings.
Hope this helps.

WiFi tether for root users. Is the best thing ever. If you aren't rooted. Root your phone. Also, is there a cm ROM available for your phone? If so, switch. Then use it's default tethering. Your phone is definitely the culprit here.

Great suggestions guys! I seem to be making some progress. I can now "connect" and get an IP, but the "wifi signal" bar thingy in the lower-right stays gray, not blue like it usually is when on working WiFi, and apps still cannot get to the net, which I assume is what the gray means (network connection but no internet connection). I will have to go down the list and try every possible configuation, I suppose. Yikes! I'll keep at it...

[Q] Forgets wifi password - any tips?

Hi all. At home I turn off my wifi when I go to work (to save the 1p of electricity it probably costs. Way to go, Al Gore!) and when I turn it back on, my nexus 5 doesn't remember the password. My nexus S was the same.
This recommends switching my router to WEP (it's currently WPA-PSK), however I'm not sure I actually CAN change this in my router settings. Shouldn't it just work anyway, or is it a router problem? Should I just stop turning off the router? This feels like it shouldn't be a problem... hmmm.....
[for searchability: remember remembering forgetting forgets wifi wi-fi wireless password pw login]

Phone loses wifi password
Both my Nexus 4 running stock KitKat and previous Galaxy S1 with CyanogenMod 10.2 used to occasionally 'lose' their wifi passwords if disconnected and would ask for saved passwords to be re-entered before they would log in again. This would happen with WPA2 networks - I'm not sure whether it also applies to WEP.
Rebooting the phone usually solves the problem - I put it down to a bug in the software.
Does anyone have a better solution?

WEP is not a solution! Assuming that it would reconnect fine if its not rebooted, just dont reboot the router. Turning it off is not normal or expected behaviour

Sent from my Galaxy Nexus using Tapatalk

Hmm - this is the first I've ever heard of this issue. I agree with rootSU though - WEP is not the solution. It is very insecure. (BTW, if your router supports it, go to WPA2 instead of WPA)
Can you try this a friend's house with their WiFi router to see if it is a problem with the router? You said that your phone doesn't remember the password - does it popup a dialog box asking for the password? Or does it just not connect automatically?
Are you on the stock ROM? or custom?
While I don't shut off my router, I do reboot it once a couple of weeks or so, and my phone(s) signs on automatically.

I don't think it is a router problem, since I had the same issue to with other routers in the past and I didn't have any problem with mine, until one day I tried to connect to another Wi-Fi to test something, and I had to disconnect from mine as it was in range. since that day my phone can not save the network it is like it is a new ssid every time.. I have tried wep and wpa2 with no luck.

Happened at 2 locations. 1 was Comcast the other FiOS. Never had the issue with my gs3. It shows the network and I have to re input the password

WEP can be hacked with a phone, it's that insecure. Don't use it, try using WPA2 .

I had this issue before, the problem was that there are duplicate entries of the same network in /data/misc/wifi/*wpa_supplicant.conf
I tried and delete only the duplicate entries but I still had issue, I didn't try much with that and just deleted all entries and entered my WiFi passwords all over again and that did it for me.
I had this issue about 2 years ago, on many different phones and the issue even transfers to new phones when the Google account syncs the WiFi passwords.
I hope this is it and it fixes your issue.

What is the best way to delete those files? Root file manager on the phone? Or go in through a USB connection on my PC?

I did it with root and root file explorer, i did not delete the file, i opened it and deleted the entries there for the wifi passwords saved, they will be easy to identify.

They look like this
network={
ssid="INFINITUMBA15"
psk="2939253472"
key_mgmt=WPA-PSK
priority=735
}
I deleted all the ones like that, synced Google account just in case, rebooted just in case and entered WiFi password. After that I tested that the password saved if I turned WiFi off or the modem off and it worked.

Cheers for the intel. You reckon that'd be possible without root? Looking at that folder unrooted in Astro file mananger & it says 'data' is empty... and I can't see the root directory when plugged into a PC.
Thanks!

thanks dude. I should really root anyway, but this genuinely constitutes a bug so I'll file it on the google forums, since google reads them and addresses the problems on there.

Nice one. I'll link to this on my ticket then, save them looking at the same thing twice, and add some weight to yours.
Other people with this problem, please 91 this on moisesgl's ticket for visibility.
