Cant download roms..? - Galaxy Note 10.1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Ive been a proud note tab10.1 owner for a couple weeks I rooted it right away and have barely put it down. One thing thats drivin me crazy is im unable to download roms directly to the tab. Is there something im missing or a trick to get them to download? I have really good wifi and have tried many other reliable wifis so its not an internet issue. I know I can transfer from my pc but a lot of the time im not near it. Any helps appreciated. edit: Guess im gonna just send it back and get a win 8 laptop. Farewell

I think you have to go to advanced wifi settings and select never stop wifi while sleeping. I'm not sure, but its possible that if the device goes to sleep while downloading large files the wifi is stopped after entering sleep mode and if the download is not finished by then...

Wireless tether 3.1

I use the wireless tether 3.1 and after a couple minutes i get booted off. My settings are fascinate on first drop down which is what everyone said it should be and the second dropdown i had it set on master and auto but neither seem to help. Any ideas or solutions. I thought about trying opengarden but its a adhoc only, but if you dont get booted on it maybe thats a solution.

Restart your phone? 420, hell yeahhh. If that doesnt work, id use history cleaner and wipe your cache. Or boot into recovery, if THAT doesnt work. Id do a wipe.
Lol '420' ill try them things

Lmao, sounds good man. Let me know.
You prolly just have to uninstall the old version of WT
No Dice. I tried all suggested solutions. Plus I tried other older versions of it and got the same message. I would think someone has figured this out. If someone has working wifi tether please package and pm me.

Open garden is adhoc only. Certain devices wont run on that. I need to be able to set up an infrastructure. V3.1 offers that but is not reliable. There are other ones too but my phone says that there is not enough space. The wierd part is that i have way plenty of space. Thats where im at now.

I have 3.1 working fine on the ep1f leak. Here are my settings. Profile Fascinate, Method Softap for samsung. changed the channel to 4 or 5 your choice really. If there is a wireless router nearby on channel 1(which most are factory set at) you will get interference. Also try this I had to do it on my wife's phone. Uninstall wt reboot then reintall. Let the phone get completely up(media scanning and everything). Then try and run wt again. I've gotten 3.1 to work on a bunch of phones. Hoope that helps.
Hey man, sorry to hear nothings worked out... Sad to say but why dont you try to mount your SD card, make a new folder on your desktop and back up everything on your SD. Go under my computer, right click the disk and format it. Do an odin restore to ED1, keep it stock. Let it update to EE4, then flash an EE4 Odin rom that gives you root, such as this one. http://www.androphiles.com/files/android/EE4deodx_DXC.tar.rar then your kernel and rom. I mean, I know you probably dont want to hear this kind of answer but if nothing else has worked then this might be your only option. As for getting infastructure working, I saw a thread on it. Ill post it once I find it. PM if it worked.
Edit: I link that I found says to download the newest tether, which obviously you are having problems with... So give it a try again after you do a full wipe.

Wps

Got a problem ...my phone dont wanna connect to wifi ...i read that to solve i should press the wps buttom and i dont find it i already look all over my wifi acesspoint and nothing what can i do im using timiwarner cable ...incase helps...
Sent from my SGH-T959V using xda premium
That could be a number of things. Only certain gear has the WPS buttons (Linksys/Cisco, I think).
1. Reset your router. If it used to work then just quit, rebooting the router usually fixes it.
1. Has it ever connected to any wifi equipment anywhere?
2. Check the security settings on your wifi router & verify you're using the same settings & key on the phone
3. Worst case, set up your wireless router to use no security & see if the phone connects. If so, it's probably your set up. Change the router back to decent security (WPA/TKIP or WPA2/AES) and make sure you set the phone up to access the wifi router with that same security.
The WPS button is located on the router itself. It should be easy to find.
Google the make and model of your router to see if you have one. If you are using your service providers router you can call them and ask them how you can connect via WPS connection
I dont know what was going on with it,but I did all the steps that yall told me but dint work,It got me mad ashell lolz I left my phone alone for a while when I came bk wifi was working it wierd ...but thank yall ,and just to let yall know it have happen before but never say nothing until now, I was wondering y this happens sometimes it just take 1 day for the wifi to start working, idont know why? it mite be routers or something cuz I know the phone aint the problem or mite be, ....but anyways thatnk you so much for both of you .....

Are you talking about the market giving you a warning that the file may be too large to download over mobile data? If so, I got that message for World of Goo (~50mb; had wifi symbol in market) and I just pressed OK and it started downloading over 4G.

I have a fix for this. It just depends on what your trying to do with the wifi.

What you asked is impossible (to trick the phone and make it think its connected)
Create wifi access point with your phone and then connect there!
Thats what you want and what problaly dont working but use search...in Neo or Arc forum is 1thread and long discussion how and is it possible.

Is that even possible? My phone disables wifi when making a hot spot also i'm sure since the wifi is being used to broadcast it can't be used to connect to any
Swyped from just about every ROM in the HD2 section
Are you talking about downloading from the market, cuz unless your carrier blocks it, I've never found anything on the market I can't download over mobile data (even if it gives me the warning dialog). If it's not in the market, I've downloaded files like 900 mb or more. Not sure what the problem is unless it's your carrier, in which case, whatever you do to trick your phone still won't trick the provider, I think.

buy a $15 wireless router. Tada.
I think he's talking about games from like gameloft and stuff, That require wifi only to download the extra game data. That's what I got from of his post at least. And to answer his question... I have no idea.

different type of wifi issue.... I think

Hello Everyone. I have an att one X that is having an odd wifi issue. I've googled and only found the hardware wifi issue and im pretty sure that's not what i have. I actually got this phone on a trade for a one s, when i recieved the X it alrealdy had the venom rom installed. so at first i thought that it was just maybe a bad rom flash because i looked at the rom build and it was one of the earlier versions, but i flashed cm10 and the issue is still there. The issue with my wifi is that it doesn't connect to anything even if im right next to the router. it doesn't seem to find the router and it'll constantly pickup random wifi signals and not the one i want, but regardless it will never connect. all of the info i've seen out there about the hardware problem says its a week signal problem with both wifi and Bluetooth but it'll still connect. my bluetooth also seems to be working fine. I'm on the new firmware i believe because i have to flash the boot image through fastboot in order to get a rom to load. Can it be the Kernal? i've been reading on this so such for the last two days that i think i read that the kernal must also me flashed in a different way, not straight through the recovery.
any help would be greatly appreciated.
I'll try and post a quick video on this issue later on
Bro.. Mr sinco and I have been fighting this issue with aosp ROMs for the last 6-8 weeks.... We've brought it up and seems to be pushed aside.. it started making me mad enough to where I'm back on sense ROMs. (Not that there's anything bad about them, I rather aosp)

Well i think that rules me out. Because I was on the venom rom which is a sense rom. Maybe I'll try another sense rom and see if that works for me

Hmmm sense ROMs have always been good... Maybe try to delete that ROM off of sdcard, do a clean download of cleanrom or something, and try everything fresh.. don't do a backup or anything... 100% clean install and see what happens

i too have been effected by poor wifi performance on all aosp ROMs (specifically AOSP JB rom's) rohan has asked me to provide a log at i have to do so, i just figured theres no way no one else doesnt have the issue and one of his irc buddies or someone with more knowledge would provide one...however we're months later and i still have the issue, i suppose its time i buckle down and logcat the poor man.

Do you turn this off in the phone or the router?
Sent from my One X using Tapatalk 2
On the router. DMZ is a security subnetwork to help keep internet "things" out of your router. WPS is also on the router and helps people who have trouble connecting devices to their router to be able to just hit a button to connect. Turn them both off in the router settings.

Idk. I haven't test on many networks. Only home and work. Work has limited security. So it connects fine

i realize my post was far from informative...yes my issue is it not conecting as well. will try, but if you watch it, it stops and just sits at "secured, not in range" or wtf ever. After you put the password in, turn the screen off and let it sleep for a minute, i bet when you turn the screen on itll be connected (its been my only solution so far)
Well PLUKK thanks for all of the feedback. My issue is experiencing it's own unique characteristics and issues I haven't seen, but also includes some of yours. Unfortunately I haven't been able to test on any open unsecured network yet. But the thing with my phone is that it will literally be right next to the router and it sometimes won't show the router in my list of available networks but it'll show others. And all of them are secured. I've tried this at my home and my girlfriends home and here at the school I work at. I work at college so WIFi is everywhere and I've never had problems connecting before, but the issue is that it doesn't even show up on the available networks sometimes it it'll show a network I've never seen. I'll try and post a video about this issue a little later. As I know I'm probably Not getting my point across very well.
Sent from my One X using Tapatalk 2
Every router is different and each one has security set up different. That's why some you see and some you don't. It is the phones ROM causing issue BUT it can be solved by adjusting settings. Since you can't do that if the router is not yours then you can
A. Wait for a fix
B. Use a sense ROM
C. Turn off WiFi
I have tried myself for a week trying to fix my phone too but I have the know how to only do so much. Good lukk

Surface rt won't update

I just picked this surface up last night, it had 55 updates that I let install. Then it said 8.1 was available, it would download half the way then stall and give me error code 0x80240031. Any thoughts? Thank you.

You just have to try again, it does happen sometimes, just keep trying. Jim
You may also want to reconsider updating as the jailbreak will no longer function
It's brand new, no jail break or nothing

My point was that 8.0 has a jailbreak whereas 8.1 does. If you update to 8.1 you wont be able to jailbreak in the near future.
Oh that's fine.

On second thought... maybe I should figure out the benefits and what I can do with jail breaking it. I've always been android, so not sit what the surface is capable of.

With the jailbreak you can run third party desktop applications whereas without the jailbreak you can only run the desktop programs that come on the device already. They still need porting specifically for windows RT though in most cases.
The jailbreak is here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2092158
And then there is a list of software to go with it here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2092348
Got some nice little gems in there, if this doesnt concern you too badly then go ahead with the 8.1 update.
I finally got it to update, but now I'm getting furious. Getting another error code. 0x8020002e when installing a simple ****ing app. This is getting old quickly.

That is probably a no then, and the only known thing to cause that error to occur across multiple platforms.
Open the settings charm (mouse to right of screen or windows key + I), Change PC Settings, Network, Connections, Select the connection and under data usage it has a metered connection toggle. It being on seems to cause that error, but it wont be on unless you set it to be on.
Otherwise I cant find anything about why that error would occur and only a handful of people experiencing it, all of whom have had it go away after a system refresh, but you've just gotten a whole new machine which should have sorted that.
