I use my Xoom at work and the WiFi has to be setup by the IT guy because it is a restricted network. How can I save my wifi settings if I were to switch ROMs so I don't have to take it to the IT guy every time.
I think their was an option when first setting up the ROM, but I think I chose not to backup my stuff to Google. Can i recheck that option?
Thanks

I've owned my ZTE Racer for a 2 days and haven't even needed to read the phone manual. Really simple and easy. I've downloaded many Apps and kept the best. However I'm having problems with a WiFi App that will allow me to connect to a WiFi source. If I connect manually using Settings>WiFi etc all is well but no matter what WiFi App I use they won't connect even though the do show Internet Authorised when they find my own WiFi router. Am I missing something as I'm never asked for any settings and I'd assumed the App was using the settings I'd set manually. What am I doing wrong?
You should use the built in wifi app. Why do you neen another?

Hello,
somebody knows how to turn off Data Roaming by default? Because .prop String does not work for me. And when i turn off, its turning on again after reboot.
Would be very happy if someone can tell me, because its really pissing me off. I live between switzerland and germany. I have every month ca. 60 € of extra costs because the phone changes to a roaming opperator during download or something like that. So its a fu**ing pain in my ass.
Thanks in Advance.
Sorry for my bad english...

Go to your settings menu, find the wireless section and then in there go to the mobile networks menu. In there is a setting that switches on or off data roaming just keep it unchecked.

No need to be rude..
You can set the network operator to manual by selecting the operator. That way it won't connect you to one you don't want to.
You can also turn off automatic update from the settings-about menu to stop automatic updates... do this in the market too if you have checked any automatically update apps.

For some reason seems to be happening 4-5 times per day when I go to use my weather channel app or my radar now app my phone doesn't have an internet connection weather I'm on WiFi or mobile network. I'm lost. But when I reboot my phone it works fine till my lcd. Display shuts off. Any help?
Could Be ROM related. Have you checked the Q/A section or Rom thread for the ROM you are using. Sorry you Need to be more specific on your individual details about your phone to help diagnose.
Stock Rom.. ATT inspire 4g. Um. Android 2. 3. 3. Sense. 2. 1.. all I know.

OK lets first start off with checking to see if its the app it self or more than that.
When you cannot connect with the weather app try a data connection with another app/browser
Hi all,
I have a verizon galaxy s3 and I flashed cyanogen mod 10 stable version (11/13) today. I tried navigation, and for some reason it just keeps saying searching gps.. and can't seem to locate it. I have also tried liquid jelly bean rom and the same thing happened. I am new to roms, so does turn by turn directions/navigation not work on roms for galaxy s3? the phone can pick up my location in google now for example (because it gives me weather for the correct location), but i can't seem to do navigation. Please let me know if there is a way to fix this.
Thanks!
In settings make sure you turn on all the stuff in location access and under applications clear data for maps.

It should be something with the settings in GPS, I think it's the last option in the location settings and you should be turning on the option for "internal antenna"

I recently upgraded my Galaxy Tab2 from Android ICS 4.0.4 to JB 4.1.2.
I previously used Müller's WiFi Tether for Root Users (my device is CF-Auto-Root'ed); it was great.
Now after the 4.1.2 upgrade WiFi Tether for Root Users doesn't work anymore - it just never appears on other computers' list of visible Wi-Fi networks.
So I'm trying the built-in Portable Wi-Fi Hotspot function. I tap to turn it on; it says it has turned on .. then just a few seconds later it says "Turning off" and indeed it turns off. Can't use it.
How can I diagnose and fix this?
thanks,
Are you on the stock ROM?

hi MultipleMonomials. Yes, the stock 4.1.2 ROM which came out last week, plus CF-Auto-Root.
Another piece of information. I also cannot start USB Tethering. I tap to start, it says it's starting, and it instantly turns off, briefly showing "USB Tethering Error" in the top status bar.
thanks,
Maybe I'm just ignorant, but since when did the stock ROM have wifi tethering?
Try the app foxfi from Play Store.

As far as I can tell, Android 4.1 comes with USB and Wi-Fi tethering by default.
Settings, in the Wireless and networks area, More settings, "Tethering and portable hotspot".
Of course, some carriers disable it, but my device is carrier-neutral, pure stock ROM. Unless there is a flag the carriers can send to the phone saying to specifically disable that function? .. in which case I dearly hope that there is a hack or app for rooted phones to ignore that flag!
(I did try FoxFi, and several others; on this version of Android, all they seem to do is enable the built-in portable hotspot, which behaves just the same as when I do it manually in the Settings - it turns right off again).
anyone?
Thanks!
Either install or open Titanium Backup. Search for "tethering" and "hotspot". Do you get anything?

Got it to work with WiFi Tether for Root Users, 3.3pre-2 TrevE mod experimental

Hi, Titanium Backup (love it!) does not find any apps/apks for "tethering" or "hotspot".
There's a comment here suggesting that it's built-in, not an .apk.
Aha. I installed the 3.3pre-2 "TrevE" mod experimental version, and with a lot of playing around, found the following combination which works:
Device Profile: generic ICS/JB (wlan0)
Setup Method: Auto
Send Netd Max Client Cmd: On
WiFi-driver reload: On
WiFi-driver reload 2: On
(Not positive that the driver reloads are necessary, but without doubt the TrevE mod was required).
Maybe this experience will help explain what's going on, so that we can get easier solutions for others.
thanks,
