GTab Wireless DOA - G Tablet General

Anyone else have the wireless seem to be dead on arrival. I just unboxed mine and after the start I went to turn on the wireless and all I gets is it looks like it's turning on then it says error. nothing more useful than that. Any suggestions?
TIA,
Slaterman

mine was the same way, try the cyanogenmod, see if that helps it out, mine doesnt work on any of the stock ztab builds, but itll run on CM

I have this same problem. Are you sure that yours doesn't work on ztab 1029 builds? Cyanogenmod uses the ztab 1029 kernel, which mine works fine on. However, it doesn't work on ztab 1106 very well, or stock TnT. I am exchanging mine today.

Mine is hit or miss. Requires multiple factory resets to get it reworking when it decides to quite. I'll be exchanging tomorrow.

Do you have a case on your phone? If so, remove it and try again. Go outside with a clear view of the sky and wait till the GPS icon stops flashing.
Just took the case off fixes alot closer and more accurate to my location. Is there any case that i can keep on? (What case are you using?)
I use the speck candy shell. I don't use Gps much so it doesn't bother me that my case blocks some of the Gps signal.

It did zero good for me. I'm gonna hafta unroot and get mine replaced next week when the 30 day "buyers remorse" is up. I tried to get it swapped but ATT's being a jerk since I don't have the original packaging.
Here's what I have to do to get GPS to work. Sorry for the crappy video but I don't have a decent camera, the best I have is my old Sony C905.

Wow I just watched that first video and cringed. The reboot lock didnt surprise me, because thats normal usually, once it has a lock that info is remembered. But I would suggest that if you have to drop it like that to get it working, send it in, cause no one should have to put the phone thru that much abuse to get it to work. There has to be something broken (like soilder) or cracked that when you drop it it makes a connection again. EESH!
The odd thing is started doing that on its own, it was never dropped or anything. Fwiw, the first was after flashing your script and after 3 reboots.
Since it started working on the second video, it's worked every time like it should but I'm not sure why.

Some weird sh1t with my G2X

This weekend I rolled back my G2X to the original 2.2.2 out of the box state. I did this because I had applied the leaked Gingerbread and I didn't like the way the camera was functioning and wanted to take photos while enjoying the long weekend.
Since rolling back I have had NO issues whatsoever with the phone. My battery life has been fine, not one freeze up or reboot issue. and I am getting better reception in places it would suck with the leaked gingerbread.
Not sure what happened but it has been over 72 hours and not one problem. Has anyone else experienced this? I don't get it...
what don't you get? why the official rom is working better than the leak?
in any case don't jump the gun 72 hours hardly enough time to be sure you wont have any issues.
What I don't get is, I had all of those issues prior to installing the leak. And I waited 2 weeks before installing it.
I'll check back in in a few days and let you know if it is acting up. So far so good tho.
That's why I'm still on 2.2 roms. I'm too picky and know gingerbread will piss me off with the GPS being slow and all the other miscellaneous issues. Waiting for official GB before I hop on the CM band wagon.

You know, one of the first things I do...after a battery charge, is do a factory reset.....why that seems to work for me, I have no idea.
My daughter has a G2...lots of problems...factory reset.....Daddy youre a genuis.
My son has a sensation...after a week, problems...done a factory reset yet? Nope...try it....Dam dad, you know your ****.
Who knew??
I'm sure not all problems are solved with factory resets...but at least you start off clean. Afterall, loading ROMs on devices is a product line thing...who knows what could go wrong...or not finish or ...whatever.
I'm noticing a new GPS problem with my rooted 2.2.2.
Even when I'm outside, I cannot get an accurate lock on my location with my GPS. I'm getting 1,500-1,700 meter estimations. This is unacceptable.
Anyone having this problem, or anyone know of a fix?
For GPS try this....worked for me
Dial 1809#*999*
Find GPS Test
System Settings
Sulp settings
SLP Server Settings
Bring up menu and ADD
name: Google
SLP Address: sulp.google.com
port:7275
cert: leave blank
TLS: don't check
Save
Then reboot and see if that gets you a better and quicker lock.
You can also try the Nokia SLP, everything is the same, just swap out google for nokia.
My locks went from non-existant to 15-20 seconds. Still not perfect, but at least it will work.

[Q] Cyanogenmod wifi

I just want to first thank everyone who worked on getting cyanogenmod to work on the jellybean boot loader. There is a problem that i am seeing though through the threads that wifi seems to not turn on. Unfortunately i have the same problem, i have had it for both the modified version on the 30th and still have it on the official version out the 31st. Has anyone else had this problem or even any vague idea as to the problem causing?
Wish I was posting with help I just wanted to cosign that I've also been going through the same thing from yesterday's unofficial to today's rom with turning the wifi on and having the tablet freeze. Hoping it can be worked out looking forward to using cm10 as soon as possible
I can confirm that i am still having the same wifi issues with the 11-01 official version.
I also had wifi issues initially, disable the wifi sleep policy and reboot, it would work afterwards.

for what it's worth I tried this but after the reboot I still ended up with the same problem, I think I'll just stick with cleanrom for now it's been running more than well enough
I updated to 11-2 and still no fix but I think I have come across something. I don't know if it just me but for some reason the wifi region in advanced is set to Europe. I try to switch it to US but never seems to save it. Am I the only one?

I don't have the issue. I have done this twice for each rom stock, cleanrom, jb hydro and I have wifi and gps. I'm using Twrp.
wipe cache, Dalvik, Factory Reset, System ( you must flash a rom now ) so be absolutely sure you have one available.
flash cm10
reboot
boot recovery
flash gapps
reboot
This didn't fail in a total of six tries. GPS is slow and not many sats but it does work.
Once I was stuck on bootanimation. I forced power down by holding power till screen went black. Power up and booted properly.
I miss spoke on the above when I listed gps - checking my notes and reflashing, gps does not work on nightly for me; it does work on the other cm10 jb for me. Sorry! Wifi does work on both.
DANG!! As of 11/3 version, I still have wifi issues. I have flashed back when there was no CM10 and have done exactly above and still cant get no reception. I still think that the region in advanced settings have something to do with it.

I'm sorry to hear that. I had hoped the problem was the difference in the way we handled wiping and flashing. I don't understand why my unit works and yours doesn't. I don't remember anything else I did that may have made a difference but I'll download 11-3 and try again.
I'll report with that status in a bit.:good:
I was on cleanrom, flashed 11-3 as above and have wifi. I wish we knew how to isolate this problem, I'll do some searching and look at some of my logs and dmesg. There must be an answer why some units work and others don't.
When you try to turn wifi on does it turn on and stay turned on or does it refuse to turn on?
I checked my region settings and they were set Europe, I changed to US just for fun but no difference in use. I have read in the US they are restricted to channels 1 - 11 instead of 1 - 14, maybe that is one of the reasons for that option.
I was on cleanrom 2.5 before also. Had no problems with it but wanted to see if CM10 was any better. What happens is that after i flash CM10, when you first start a tablet from scratch, it will search for wifi and say in the middle of the screen "Turning wifi on" and will stay that way. So i eventually have to skip it to go on to the Home screen. When I go back later in settings to wifi, says the same thing and sometimes crashes. When I go back to clean rom or original stock, have no problems.

I can't emulate that on my unit. Have you tried the cm10 by timmytim? If you need cm10 it may be an option. It is built on the cm10 you are trying to use but with some modifications.
I'm also waiting on the nightlies, in my case I'm waiting on gps.:good:

One last shot, it will only take 5 minutes and is easy.
Power off
Remove external sdcard
Remove from dock
Power on
I now updated from twrp 2.2.2 to 2.3.1 and tried BOTH 11/5 AND timmytim versions and still no luck. Do you think i need to try clockworkmod? I don't think that would make a difference.

No, I'm afraid not.
The last thing I can think of that could be different between our situations is your wifi.
I must begin by telling you my wifi router is an antique so I don't have some of the newer features.
This is a fishing trip. Take the little info I provide and try to use it to investigate your situation.
My router provides a table where I can list mac addresses of units I have programmed and only these are allowed access, even if they have the correct password, etc.
Some of the newer units have a button that automatically looks for units and self programs the router security features and any change made since the button was last pressed. If you have such then try to sync your unit again with cm10, otherwise look carefully through your router security options and see if anything stands out that may be different than with stock rom.
I know mac addresses and such are factory programmed but they can be spoofed and on units other than asus do sometimes change with rom.
For instance if I go to google play my TF300 shows as two different unit names.
Asus ASUS Transformer Pad TF300T
Asus Transformer Pad TF300T
That is enough difference to possibly cause your router to deny access.
None of this may apply but it is worth a try.
Good Luck!
wifi issues too
I am having same problem. tried 11-06 nightly and wifi will not even turn on. Tried other nightlies, same deal. Can't understand why not happening to all units. If anyone figures it out, let us know. I really want to try CM10! I think this is being discussed on the developers forum on the CM10 for JB thread as well.

11/06 and 11/07 are both broken for me as well. I saw a post by untermensch ( I think ) in the nightly thread where he was pushing some of his work for use in cm10. Maybe in a day or two everyone will have wifi.
I have read you can flash his kernel after setting up cm10 and get wifi. I have not tried that and if a fix comes soon I probably won't.
What I have done is flash his TF300T kernel over CleanRom and it is faster and smoother. I am not over clocking, using balanced mode.
Sorry I don't have any other thoughts at this time.
Good Luck to us all!

I tried the last couple nightlies and still no wifi capability. Tried a rom based on CM10, still a no go. SO, using cleanROM for now, it seems to work very well for me. I wonder why CM10 works for some and not others? Is there a difference in the hardware from unit to unit?
Wifi works again on nightlies 11/09
I still don't have gps.
LUCKY!!!! I read the post and now on 11/9 and still the same problem. I do want to ask a question though to all that do have the problem. Were you on cleanrom before trying CM10? Does this have anything to do with cleankernel?

I know you asked for those that didn't work but.
Just for more info and being fair to cleanrom.

GPS not working, possibly hardware?

Hi All,
I am having an issue with GPS on my TF101. ive tried a few different Team EOS and CM roms but doesnt seem to have an effect. I am currently running EOS 81 (last EOS that still works with wiimote). I just get no satellites connected. Below are two logcat logs, one from K.A.T when i try to install the GPS quickfix i get an error, then the other is starting GPS Status.
Im starting to wonder if my GPS is actually broken and it's not a software issue.
Please help, even if it is just to say my GPS is properly shagged.
K.A.T log:
http://pastebin.com/svPCVbYY
GPS Status log:

Edit:
I just tried EOS 113 and the K.A.T. GPS Fix installed successfully, however still no luck in GPS status. Logcat:
http://pastebin.com/4CCQzgjc
Strange not to get any fixes at all, mine takes a while but does eventually lock on
When you say K.A.T, do you mean KatKernel or the Kat-App ?
Kat-App has some GPS fixes in it
And not to sound arrogant but you are trying to get a fix outdoors under a clear sky ?

I'm not great with logcats, hopefully a dev will have a look at them for you

Hey,
Thanks for your response.
I mean the KAT-App, it has a GPS fix that wouldnt apply but i eventually go it that working. it didn't however fix my issues.
As for clear sky, apart from the crappy UK cloudy weather i'm all clear sitting outside on a bench (and within wifi reach, winning!).
Im starting to think its a hardware failure but not sure how to test.
Thanks,
Piercy

Don't forget the tf101 was always plagued with a crappy GPS. Some say the aluminum case, some say weak signal from the hardware. There are tweaks and such to the GPS.conf file but I gave up on it.

Until I went back to stock and started over with root and flashing a new ROM, I had the same exact issues with GPS. I know it sounds strange; but, after a year plus of flashing, my system was laggy, the GPS would never work, and had intermittent sound issues. While that may be more than you are experiencing, it still may be an issue. So, after making a huge mistake of wiping everything off my system (no ROM at all) and having nearly having an expensive paper weight, I went back to ground zero. After the process of going back to an Asus stock ROM, rooting, and flashing Team EOS, Kat Kernel, and the Kat app, my Transformer was better than new. GPS works perfect, sound has no issues, no random reboots, and blazing fast.
So, it might be worth a try of starting entirely over... just a thought. :silly:

LTE turning itself off? [updated]

This is a problem I've had persistently, I'm only just now getting annoyed enough to make a post about it.
When I first got my Nexus, everything was fine and dandy. Around the end of December though, I had this weird problem where Data turns itself off after about three seconds. I can turn it back on and let it turn off again and fight with it to solve the issue, and eventually it will stop and stay on. I figured I'd give the Cyanogenmod build (at the time) a try, and that fixed it, but had it's own problems (namely bluetooth being very horribad) so I swapped back to stock and sure enough, the problem returned. I don't recall if I did a nandroid restore or a fresh install and a titanium backup of my apps at first because I did try both, neither fixing the problem.
Nexus 5 16gig black on AT&T, stock ROM, only rooted. Any extra information can be posted upon request.
-[edit]-
I installed Paranoid Android, I'll update if I still have the issue.
-[edit+]-
Yes, the issue persists. New info is Paranoid Android v 4.2-BETA1. Obviously, hardware info stayed the same.

It appears it was an issue with Juice Defender. Will update if issue persists.

Try another ROM that maybe AOSP source built, see if problem is persisting. If so, is data weak in your area for ATT and it sounds very possible your device has a hardware issue if other ROMs don't fix this. I'm running Carbon, no issues ATM. I can guarantee the CM issues and your issue are not present. If you try the ROM, problem persists, then device needs to be fixed for hardware I'd suggest.

It appears that was what it was. I have had zero issues since uninstalling it, which makes me sad. I liked Juice Defender, and have been using it on my phones for several years. :c
