[Q] WiFi hotspot off and on constantly when mobile data on. - Motorola Photon Q 4G LTE

Hi there!
The SW version of my PhotonQ is 77.8.10 and I'm using WCDMA(UMTS)network,
When I tried the hotspot function yesterday, I find that as long as the Data usage/Mobile data switch is on,the hotspot will constantly turn off and on,and everything's fine when the switch is off (connect with my ipod,retrive IP address and so on)
Dose any one has any idea about this problem?

What ROM?
Generally, if you post your question in the ROM thread... people don't have to wonder

My Photon Q is running the official rom which named 77.8.10 and the kernel version is 4.0.4

Ah, you mean Android version is 4.0.4 mate.
Kernel version is probably 3.0.31 or smth, but that's neither here nor there.
Regardless, I don't think the built-in hotspot works (on stock).
It also sounds like you are using one of the SIM hacked devices. Why not install CM10/.1? Wifi hotspot should work fine there (it does for me on my less-hacked CDMA device....)

It's not mine, and if you are using a SIM modded device use Skrilax's!!

You know, I'm willing to bet that this is related to the issue in http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1885600. Just on a whim, I tried turning off mobile data before turning on my wifi, and sure enough, my wifi connectivity problem went away.
That being said, and the fact that I have two q's, one which works perfectly, and one which exhibits this odd behavior, I think I'm heading towards a hardware problem, and a warranty exchange. But, if your new rom seems to fix the problem, then please share that here. It would indicate that there may be a software solution to the problem.

[SOLVED] 3g not working in India

Well, i haven't used 3g till now, and today activated it, only to find that it doesnt work.
DDKP3
BCK Kernel Beta 13
Deodexed
No other mods.
Network mode is automatic
When i select WCDMA only. The phone is not able to connect to the network.
And on automatic, the phone stays on EDGE only
Anyone insights on it?
Had read Argentine people having 3g problems long ago. Anyone from there can help?
Also had read somewhere that it might be a CSC problem. I checked using *#1234# to see if CSC is unknown, but its proper.
More info from further posts and replies -
Service provider is Vodafone India.
Confirmed that its a phone problem, by using the SIM in another phone [SE Xperia Arc], and it worked on it.
SOLUTION -
Well, I had removed the sim to try it on another phone, and well on putting it back in the phone, it worked!
I actually feel like a noob after this!
Anyway, thanks everyone for trying to help!
I'm using 3g.... its working great!!! What service do you use? Also are u sure you have subscribed to 3G services... sometimes it takes a while to get activated.

Yea, obviously it isn't a general problem faced by all.
I guess, someone who's faced such a problem only might be able to help.
Had read alot of people having such issues, but now searching isn't giving quite the required results.
If you can, try your SIM card into another smartphone which is confirmed working with 3G, just to be sure the problem comes from your phone.

[Q] Wifi problem on Trickdroid

I'm currently using an S4 Tmobile One S I can't get a wifi connection on trickdroid version 8.1.0. (I can on version 7.0.0) and I can't get it to work on Viper rom.
I've already tried flashing the Extra partitions 1.84 and 2.35 but neither of them seem to help at all.
so I have a few questions:
1. Is there anyway to use trickdroid version 7 and update the software to sense 4.1 and get android version 4.0.4 without switching to trickdroid version 8?
2. Is there a specific kernel that guarantees that the extra partitions.zip files will fix wifi? Or perhaps changing hboot or radio to stock?
Ok so I just realized that the trickdroid Rom version 7.0.0 is already based on 4.0.4 and sense 4.1. So I have every thing working but I can't flash the tweak packages with this version without getting a bootloop?

I just got my One S S4 from T-Mobile just 2 days and I rooted it the same day, however right after I unlocked the bootloader, I started getting no signal. I didn't mind and I continued to follow through with the rooting process, and I successfully got root, and then flashed Trickdroid 8.1 and I noticed the same thing.
I couldn't connect to wifi. It would detect the network and I'd put my password for wifi in but it wouldn't connect.
And also, I was getting no signal but I had 4G on..? So basically I could surf the web, and the apps could use mobile data, but I couldn't make calls or send/receive texts. Weird. And this frightened to me because I had just gotten the phone a few hours ago, and so I unrooted and went back to stock.
I would also like help on this issue, as I'm planning to root again, and use a custom ROM. But I would like to know if wifi or signal has any issues

Did you upgrade to the latest ota from T-Mobile or not? Upgrading guarantees a loss of WiFi and poor signal on many roms so stick with android 4.0.3. I suggest to try trickdroid Rom instead and see if it causes the same WiFi problem.

Yea you do, HTC blocked user rights using this update so the only ROMs that support WiFi and 4g speeds are trickdroid v 7 and I believe black bean. Try flashing extra partitions because it helped most people get their WiFi and data back

Yea, But trick droid 8 may have worse data speeds too, and if you're willing to sacrifice those you may want to try other ROMs. Viper one is a very popular one because of all the customizations. Remember to flash boot.IMG of any ROM you flash or you'll get a boot loop.

I'm having the same issue however, I'm having this issue with TrickDroid V7 TMo US. I'm unable to connect to wifi but I was able to connect to wifi on ViperOne S. I switched from ViperOne S to TrickDroid because I would lose the ability to talk and surf once I initiated a call. That alone wasn't a big issue but the call quality would drop as well. It would become grainy and barely intelligible.
What I would like to know is when it's referenced "OTA" and "Upgrade", what version(s) should I NOT have? Current specs are as follows:
Android Version 4.0.4
HTC Sense 4.1
Software Number Trick Droid V7.0.0 TMOUS
HTC SDK API level 4.23
HTC Extension version HTCExtension_403_1_GA_20

[Q] Nexus S weak Wifi and GSM

I recently purchased a Nexus S (M200) and I am experiencing very low Wifi and GSM signals. In fact, it's so low that I can't even make calls from GSM when indoors and need to get outdoor to get fair signals. Similar issue is with Wifi and I have to be within 10 meters to get a stable Wifi connection.
I have tried various roms and kernels but the problem remains. Even went back to stock gingerbread rom and the same problem. Any suggestion to get this fixed? Seems like a hardware issue and my phone is not under warranty!
Help appreciated.
I experienced the same thing on Cyanogen 10.1 nightly but when I was on stock 4.1 it was ok.
Maybe it's your provider which don't have a good network where you are.
I am sorry for my english I hope you will undrstand me.

You should get the most recent baseband (radio) firmware update for your model of Nexus S. If you search the forums, you should be able to find a thread all the basebands linked. Be sure to only install the one for the model you have, because the wrong one will not work.

4G Not Working!

The title says it. My Wind SGH-T959W's (Galaxy S 4G) 4G is not working on the ROM that I am using. The ROM that I am using currently is Octane 2.3.6 for T959V, but all ROMs for that phone work on mine. 4G Only works on a few ROMs that I installed, but they aren't Deodexed (which i need). Is there a way to get the 4G to work on the phone?
Thanl You

If it says "H" next to the signal bar, you're using "4G". The stock Samsung ROM uses 4G instead of showing H, all other ROMs show H.

There isn't an H either. I think the problem is that the ROM has support for only T-Mobile, but I'm just looking that there is a way i could get 4G with Wind.
@getochkn made a thread for the Wind LB6 modem here:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1941078
There doesn't seem to be a flashable zip for 2.3.6 but if you update to anything newer than ICS you'll be able to flash it.
I actually recommend you give CM11 a go. 2.3.6 is now 2 years old and your phone is vulnerable to a lot of exploits that Samsung never patched but are fixed with more recent ROMs. KitKat runs amazingly well on this phone and you won't have the bloat that the stock Samsung rom comes with too.

Check out the CM11 thread, there haven't been complaints about the ROM. There was an issue with a Google Play Services update causing some battery drain, but I released an update a few days ago that had a patch fixing that.
It's a solid ROM, it still amazes me how well it works on this phone .

I got 4G working by wiping everything, and installing the rom again. Then I installed gapps and 4G wont work. I did all of that again but didnt install gapps and it works great! :good: The ROM is actually very good for this phone and I will probably keep it like this.
But I still need the gapps for automatic updates, and very easily downloading apps. Mobogenie just doesnt do it for me.
And Candy Crush wont work as when i launch it, it stays at the loading screen then just closes to the home screen.
Any way to fix these issues?

WIFI Weak on LOLLIPOP

Hi
I have a very annoying issue regarding WiFi. After flashing any custom kernel (Ak, furnace...), my wifi speed turns very very slow, it drops from 40 mbs to 2 mbs.
And the only way to fix it is with this app: https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.brilliapps.wifiandmorefixer&hl=es
As i said this happens after a kernel change. I changed thing on my router, like channel, security protocols, qos but no way, it´s not a router problem.
Also i restored the phone to stock ( including a bootloader relock, etc...)
Anyone else have this issue? How can i fix it permanently?
Thank you
