is anybody else noticing issues where apps that use internet crash constantly? E.G. When installing Asphalt 6 it crashes about 30 times which i have to keep resuming saying there was downloading errors. Not to mention i have to wait about 3 minutes after hitting download for apps in the market to actually download? Is anybody else experiencing these issues? Please make yourself known if you are and if somebody has generated a fix for this PLEASE tell me.
[[[[[[SOLUTION]]]]]]]]
Okay so i found out theres a bug with the 3.2 update. At least in my case. Maybe others who just arent aware yet. I hosted tests. I installed asphalt 6 on my 3.2 rooted unlocked setup. the download failed about 30 times intermittently. slowly downloaded entire thing failing and restarting throughout.
Then i removed my root and relocked my device and factory reset it(still on 3.2 just deleted all my data). Posted same test with same results. So then i flashed my device to 3.0 and upgraded to 3.1 DID NOT UPDATE TO 3.2. Did the same test downloading asphalt. It downloaded all 500+mb of data in one run without failing. Aswell as my Gtalk has been sitting for an hour and hasnt logged me off once.
So my conclusion is that 3.2 brings unstable wifi connections and therefor i will stay at 3.1 until a new update is released!!! THANKS!!!!!
Again this may not bother others but if im doing video on talk i hate having to recall every 5 minutes and i hate having to constantly try to redownload files when they fail.

ALSO google talk logs me out every few minutes.
..anybody?
No issues like that to report here. I'm running tiamat rom 2.0 now, but I was running 3.2 stock before and it was fine.
hmm
I think i figured the market part out... I hit download app it says waiting for install. I click on my apps in the top corner then hit back twice then go to the app again and instead of download it says install. REALLY WEIRD market glitch...
Now for Gtalk. Is anybody else having issues where it logs you out ever 5 to 10 minutes saying issues connecting to server?
It would be nice to know im not the only one having issues downloading large files on 3.2 Just so i can know for sure i dont have defective hardware.

I don't think this is related but whenever I have had trouble downloading, I check to see if I have any app updates waiting. They seem to take priority over new downloads.
I notice that too but unfortuneatly this is just when i was downloading 1 large file. I dont know why but for some god awful reason my wifi connection reset like ever 5-10 minutes causing issues for every app that needs internet access. But now on 3.1 its working flawlessly. Along with the benefit of having swype keyboard
I am starting to narrow this bug down, and should be fixesd in the next tiamat rom.
I am using Tiamat 2.01 and am experiencing extreme slowness on anything over wifi. This is on a U.S. wifi only. As I'm typing this there is a several second lag from when I hit the key to the time it displays. What I don't remember is whether it started when I went from Tiamat 1.1 to 2.0 or from 2.0 to 2.01.

Man i really dont think its your fault for this bug. Whenever i upgraded to 3.2 stock alone this issue arises. I guarantee you its the fault of the stock rom. thats when i experience the issue. ive tried updating to just stock 3.2 3 times now from 3.1. 3.1 is always fine. No download issues. It downloads whole files in bulk without failing. But it never fails. Every time i upgrade to 3.2 stock i get failures throughout the large file downloads.
Any news? out of curiosity.
I am sure this was discussed somewhere else, but if you set up the WiFi profile with a static IP this issue goes away. It is definitely a bug in stock 3.2 where DHCP continuously reassigns and IP address every few minutes causing all downloads and GTalk sessions to be disconnected. Now I know static IP addresses are not always possible, but strangly what I found on my stock 3.2 Xoom is that as soon as I had ONE profile setup to use static IP, the other profiles that were setup to use DHCP no longer had this problem. Really strange.
My problem is that everything over wifi was slow with several second lags between the time you hit a key and the time it displayed that character. Even just scrolling on a webpage was excruciatingly slow. Local apps ran fine. I thought I would give your idea a try, so I went into my AT&T U-verse modem and left DHCP enabled for my Xoom's IP address, but I dedicated that address to my Xoom. I then rebooted the Xoom and without making it a static IP address my network speed was very fast.
Hopefully that helps anyone who is having the same issue, but doesn't want to set a static IP address.
anyone make any progress on this yet? I just flashed the 3.2 Tiamat 2.01 ROM, coming from Tiamat 1.1 and am unable to complete the download of themes in thumb keyboard and other apps that allow for in-app downloads. I am assuming that the problem is related to this. Does that sound correct?
My fellow Canadians...
I have noticed a number of issues with the latest official firmware for the Rogers captivate. I think it would be a good idea to put them all in one place and try to start figuring out what common issues exist and perhaps we can address them all at once. Please state the issue, when it seems to happen, and what if any modifications you have made to your software setup. Maybe someone will notice a pattern or trend and we can get them resolved.
Thanks!

One major issue I have noticed is when updating apps through the 3.1.5 market. It seems to only happen when I am updating an app, not when I am installing a new app:
Sorry!
The application TwLauncher(process com.sec.android.app.twlauncher) has stopped unexpectedly. Please try again.
At which point I have to force close it.
Also, I have experienced random shut downs, I will click the power/screen lock button to unlock the phone, and it seems the phone has shut itself off. If you hold down the power button it boots normally.
Anyone else experiencing these issues?

Did you try a factory reset after you updated?
Voice for Swype
The voice command for Swype doesn't work.......
1. Speed dial no longer works. Says 'USSD code running' then closes and gives message 'unknown application'
2. GPS has stopped working completely.
As far as the launcher crashes, I don't use touchwiz. I do use Launcher Pro. It does seem to crash every so often. I've replaced all my widgets because I've read somewhere that this might help.
No random shutdowns here.
I talked to a samsung technical support rep and his captivate's swype voice input didn't work either.

GPS works perfectly on mine captivate 2.3.3 and I get better reception and locking time. But GPS will stop working if you flashed a custom Kernel on it! I know that because I tried it and GPS wasn't working when I had a custom Kernel, had to flash back the stock kernel.
Edit: I just tried Speed dial and it's working perfectly, I think there is something wrong on your phone.

I also don't have any issues with the GPS or Speed Dial. My only mod was rooting with the FUGU kernel.

I hadn't thought of that; I wonder if I'll lose my root? Come to think of it, I wonder if that's causing the launcher crashes...

Got the phone from Rogers with 2.1 then upgraded to 2.2 then to 2.3.3 (all done through Kies. GPS was ok but spotty on 2.1 and much better with Froyo but hoped Gingerbread would bring more improvement.
I've tested it since Rogers released 2.3.3 and on a few occasions I've even gone to the roof of my building on a clear day and waited for 45mins!! and nothing! Not lock then lose it but NOTHING! Speed dial I can live without but I actually use the GPS quite a bit.
Since upgrading I've done a factory reset 4 times and even sent it in for repair, which came back saying "upgraded SW and factory reset" which fixed nothing.
I've just rooted (just root nothing else) and I've tried to do use the gps code but I can't even get into that!!
What can I do at this point?

Yeah, with the 2.3.3 you can't access the gps setting by entering the code, because everything you enter the code *#*#3214789650#*#*, you'll get a message saying "Service mode has crashes blablaba...". The only that I found to bypass that was to go to market and install the app "Anycut" then launch it, select New Shortcut, Activity then choose Angry gps.
I'll look up what's the problem that causing you not to get a good gps signal.

Man I was going nuts trying that gps code. Googled and searched this forum and everything pointed to that code. Was ready to toss my phone off the roof!
Was reading these forums for the past couple weeks learning how to root/flash (just rooted today actually) to get gps working.
I'm guessing I might have to try flashing it again with the stock rom from this thread http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=979133 but gotta do some more reading before attempting it.

I use an app called GPS Status from the market. There, in the menu under 'tools', you can 'manage A-GPS state and wipe the location info the GPS has back to scratch. Then download the assistance data from the internet. This worked well for me and I do it from time to time to keep things current.

How long have you had the phone? The random shut downs is not a ROM issue. I am pretty sure it is a hardware problem. It was acknowledged by Samsung. There is even a list of effected builds. I am sure you could find the build numbers with a little search. I had this problem when I first got the phone last December but had Rogers replace it. If it is the same problem, I think you will notice that the sleep of death only occurs when the battery is like above 85% or somthing like that. It has been a while so I can't exactly remember.
I can't seem to get the firmware actually downloaded. I'm going through kies and it recognizes my phone, and recognizes that I need to upgrade, starts downloading the upgrade and at 12% it disconnects. I have two screen shots here that show what I am talking about.
Any ideas?

Tried this the entire day and still nothing. I know it's kinda cloudy out today but still nothing.
i found 2.3.3 very slow, and poorly built. no voice button in swype PEEVED me off.i was originally making my custom canadian rom off Kh2 (rogers 2.3.3) but i dropped that project and released a canadianized/rogersized KJ3 (2.3.5).
one of the best roms in the dev section. and will be updated by the end of the week with the theming all included. the pic in my sig is a link to the rom if you havent seen EFFIN EH!
Unable to update my Captivate
My captivate is still 2.2 and while connecting to Kies it says this version of the device cannot be updated.
Current version shows PDA: JL1/phone: JL1/CSC: JL1 (xxx).
I had rooted via Super one click and I can see Superuser installed. I havent used it for any purpose.
I removed my external SD card and did factory reset. No luck.

flash to stock 2.3.3 using the link in my signature. YOU NEED BOOTLOADERS coming from 2.2
First: Is it just me, or is Google Maps constantly running in the background? Not only is it constantly running, but there seems to be three different instances of it running in my background. Every time I open TasKiller, there's always 3 icons for Maps.
Second: Normally my wifi works, but when I'm at school I have issues with it. My school's wifi requires that I set the 'Phase 2 authentication' to "MSCHAPV2," but when I do that, it automatically resets it to default (which is no phase 2 authentication). I've tried all of the other options for Phase 2 authentication, and every time I close the wifi options, it's back to the default option. Should I use logcat for this?
Maps runs in the background no matter what ROM you're on.

The maps always running issue can be solved by using an app such as autostarts.

I figured that it would start on it's own no matter what, but why are there three instances of it? Nevertheless, I'll try out Autostarts to have it stop coming up on its own.

I created a bogus wifi setup on the phone & I see the same issue; it defaults the Phase 2 authentication back to "None". I am not on Valhalla Black, either. I'm on stock 2.3.6 with bhndven's SMS kernel (3.1) so I think we're on the same kernel.
I don't want to say the kernel is the issue, though. Maybe someone else on here that is on a different kernel can try to create a wifi connection on their phone?
I'll wipe mine later and flash straight stock & see if I have the same issue. Might just be a 2.3.6 bug.

It's not anything bhundven has done to the kernel. Just tried it on my wife's phone and it's completely stock and I get the same results as you guys. After googling the issue it looks like most people were having a problem after upgrading to GB 2.3.4 and up. It looks like it goes further than our device.

Thanks for saving me some time Now the question is why.....
I wonder if its a problem with the certificates that are installed. Maybe they don't play nicely with Android?
Thanks guys for the responses at least now I know it's not just my phone. I'm visiting a friend away from home at the moment so I can't take any action right now, but once I get home, i'll try to google this a bit and see if I can find a solution.

ok, so weird issue for me.. and idk if anyone else is experiencing it cause it doesn't seem like it.. I'm getting wifi error (and before anyone says anything about my router, it's already configured). It just won't turn on no matter what. I hit it, it says a grayed out "Turning On..." and then error again. No attempt or anything. I go into wifi settings and everything under Wi-Fi is grayed out, that's the network notification at&t wifi hot spot setting and wifi networks. I've been trying hard and absolutely no resolution. A google search only affords me more "fixes" for my router and that's not the issue. If i can get a referral somewhere else that doesn't talk about the router being the issue then i'd greatly appreciate it.

I've never heard of that error before so I don't know. Are you rooted? What version of Android are you running? What I'd do is backup all your apps, text messgs, contacts, etc., and do a factory reset and see if that fixes it. Worst case scenario you could flash a fresh new version of 2.3.5 via RSD Lite and you'd almost surely have the problem fixed, unless it's a hardware issue.
I actually started off on 2.3.5 with the issue, and then i started having problems with my ability to actually get past FB, so i had to do a the rsd fix where i force stock on there again. From that point since it still wasn't working I went and pushed ota which took forever and got onto blaze hoping/praying that it would finally work after that. ultimately nothing worked so I'm here now at the mercy of the forum hoping some guru might have something that I could try.

Wow brother, if you flashed the 2.3.5 fxz to it and still had the problem, i'm thinking there's a hardware issue.
yea, i figured. so i've already contacted motorola and since i'm still under warranty i can return it and they'll send me another one. them's the break, but i got 2 weeks before i even have to decide on that so its not something i'm rushing towards lol
Try going to adb shell
su
ifconfig tiwlan0 down
(toggle airplane on then off)
ifconfig tiwlan0 up
(toggle airplane on then off)
Maybe that will bring your adapter back up. Hope that helps.
hope this doesn't mean anything bad, but it says error no such device
i did adb shell in cmd prompt, it started up went [email protected] then i did su and it changed to [email protected] and i did what you said.. and it gave me that error
Had the same error problem a few ago using blaze v3 rom. After reboot, it was solved and I could connect to my wifi again.
Have no idea what caused the problem, as I didn't do anything out of the ordinary with the device since the update from blaze 2.5.

only once did i have problem with wifi on this phone and i never fixed it on 2.3 ...
after a lot of trial and error though, i got it fixed with upgrading to ics.
other than that, does your bluetooth do the same? because symptoms like these usually mean water damage. you might want to check the indicators, (if the a2 has any) --- if you broke your wifi by updating rom, this probably isnt the case.
I noticed that the description for the wlan interface is different in the build.prop between GB and ICS. So you might check your /system/build.prop.
Look for this towards the top of your build.prop
Code:
# wlan interface
wifi.interface = tiwlan0
softap.interface = tiap0
In GB wifi.interface = tiwlan0
In ICS wifi.interace = wlan0
So make sure the value is correct, if the value is wrong it will show your wifi "greyed out" in the settings. Anyway, it's something to try, and I hope that helps. If you change the value, make sure you reboot then check to see if it is fixed.
Since I don't know if anyone is still looking into this at all because I haven't seen many updates to this thread, I'm wondering if anyone has checked the kernal information. I was able to do some searching (btw I haven't sent in my atrix 2 in yet because of work) and I found that there was some issues in regards to the Kernal. I don't know if thats true or not but I would like to see someone test it out or try it out or what have you and see if they can shed some light on the situation because the situation is rather bleek, and i'd rather not have to send in a perfectly good phone that was working just fine before the flash, and still wouldn't work after reflashing the AT&T rom.
I recently got an LG Lucid 2 (VS870) which is running android 4.1.2 software VS7011A. I have also tried it on VS87010B. When i go into the wifi settings, I can see and add networks, which then say "saved, secured." it does not try to obtain an ip address or anything, it just says it is saved. It worked fine for about a day, but then stopped connecting.
I have rooted it with framaroot 1.9.1 (apk attached), which installed with no problem. I have used CWM touch recover, which does not need flashing, by playfulgod (apk attached)
It has this problem for all wifi networks i have tried, and resetting the router did not help. Other than initially rooting it, i have not changed anything along those lines. I have looked all over the internet with no successful solution, and any help would be appreciated.

i did this exact same thing
seems the defualt mac address is overwritten when the kernal is flashed with the unlocked one, once done, nothing fixes it, ive tried, it seems the unlocked kernal messes with the phone somehow for some people. but i found a work around, you have to install an app called macChanger and spoof a random mac address you must do this once in awhile or at every reboot, ive found no way to set the mac address so it seems we are ****ed, best bet it to just keep it as a nice mp3 player or a movie phone
Seems to work

seems the defualt mac address is overwritten when the kernal is flashed with the unlocked one, once done, nothing fixes it, ive tried, it seems the unlocked kernal messes with the phone somehow for some people. but i found a work around, you have to install an app called macChanger and spoof a random mac address you must do this once in awhile or at every reboot, ive found no way to set the mac address so it seems we are ****ed, best bet it to just keep it as a nice mp3 player or a movie phone

I revisited this issue, and I found what appears to be a solution. I tried your suggestion, and seeing it worked, decided to mess around and see what i could figure out. I edited the mac address on the last line of /data/misc/wifi/config
and after a couple reboots, the address i entered seems to stay as the device's mac address and wifi continues to work.
I attached my edited version of the file
works Mac address issue fixed, needed to reboot at least three times
