Wifi help

Hello all. I have been having am issue with my wife at home for a while and thought i would ask here if anybody has any ideas.
When installing a new rom I can not connect to the google servers. It says it does not have a stable connection.
A heap of apps do not work via Wifi. Gmail, and YouTube, Facebook, and a couple of others.
Yet on the same phone with the same connection I can open up the browser and go to any of these websites.
I have tried a heap of things but if somebody has any ideas on how to fix this would love to hear it.

Mine too lol.....she is always bugging me jk......back to the topic, you could try reflashing the ROM to see if it clears it up....if that doesn't, test it with another WiFi connection.....or revert to a different version of ROM
"Hello World"

Hahaha. I didn't even notice that mistake. It does not matter what rom and it is only my connection. I have changed my setup at the moment and it's working.
Its just crazy and i can not work it out.

Help! Google Play Newsstand and Google Now crash after launching

I'm running stock Android 4.1.2 on an international version GT-P6800 (purchased in Thailand).
I've been subscribed to a magazine for months now. But with today's replacement (Play Magazines => Play Newsstand), the Google Play Newsstand app crashes immediately on launch. Same story for the updated version of Google Now (released over the past week).
Due to increased sluggishness of my tablet, I decided to backup data and do a factory reset. So all these problems are occurring on a "fresh" OS install. (So no significant app caches, etc.)
Newsstand and Google Now/Search are both working fine on my ASUS tablet, so these problems are definitely specific to this hardware/OS version.
Is anyone else having either or both problems? Ideas?
P.S. This is really making me more inclined to finally root my tablet and install the most stable custom ROM available.

Just tried Newsstand an I too am having issues, also been having issues with Google Now . I started a thread regarding that issue as well. Really getting frustrated

The problem is almost certainly caused by Samsung modifications to Jelly Bean. My other Android devices don't have any such problems.
I posted a message about my solution in another thread:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2529929

Finally found easy fix!
Uninstall the update & revert back to factory app. Stupid updates just screw everything up! It was ridiculous!

What I don't understand is that my wife's Note I I was able to update both apps with no issues, her phone is running JB 4.1.2

Were is the widget? This seems to be a flipboard take over so google needs widget.

I know I'm not the only one with this issue, anybody have an any ideas as to why Google search no longer works, even after new updates. On My wife's Note II she gets all the updates with no issue, she is also running 4.1.2. This is really pissing me off.

The problem is almost certainly Samsung 's work in modifying Android for our tablet model. There are no widespread complaints for other Android devices. And as I said when you started this thread: once I rooted the tablet and flashed Cyanogenmod, the problem became a far-off memory. That's the beauty of the Android community. My tablet can do more things now. And I don't have to think about whether Samsung cares about me.
What did I learn?That if I wanted a 7"tablet today, I would get the Nexus 7. I got a Nexus 4 phone when Google dropped the price. I rooted it in 15 minutes. And Kit Kat is available for it already.

How can you recommend using Cyonogen when all of these issues are present?
1. Inherent from CM10.1
　　- Wifi-tethering, hdmi, Incall screen landscape, etc.
2. Bluetooh not working
　　- Need to see if the mojo in cm10.1 works here. (Lots of works...)
3. Camera not working yet
　　- Both camera can preview, Autio focus is OK for back camera. Can't save the photo...
　　 (Seems bugs in framework_av cause it)
4. The default orientation of lockscreen is lanscape.
　　- not respond to rotation lock. Workaround: set only one angle in settings and enable rotation.
5. Screen rotation or rapid refresh cause transient noices. (Seems the new opengl issue, will try the new r3p2 mali driver later)
Unless you have a different version where everything works as it should.
Don't get mad, just pointing out the flaws of your suggestion.
Also my wife's Note II does not have this issue so I don't think it is a Samsung issue, then again I might be wrong.

First off, I want you to know I am not angry; I am just realistic. Samsung released the GT-P6800 as part of their typical tactic: they offered tablets in every possible size:
7", 7.7 with AMOLED, 8.9, 10.1.
Then they waited to see what the market wanted. Our model's AMOLED display was an expensive (but excellent) component. When the smoke cleared, Samsung followed the market's signal. They never released a follow-up and decided on the Note series as a better product family. We are never going to get Samsung's attention. Between your experience, your wife's and mine, we know that the crashing apps only happen on the 7.7. So there is a combination of Samsung OS and hardware that causes the problem. For the reasons I just cited, Samsung IS NOT GOING TO OFFER FIXES OR PATCHES.
You've done a great job listing possible reasons why someone would not do what I did. (To root and flash a new ROM.)
So let me respond directly to your points.

It's because of my priorities: I care deeply about reading on my tablet. That includes my subscription to The New Yorker magazine (via Newsstand) and PressReader for a variety of global newspapers. If I can't read what I want, I have to find a solution. You complained about Newsstand, so I told you how to get Newsstand working.
Another fringe benefit: I can get rid of the crap Samsung put in the firmware: Social Hub, Readers Hub, widgets, old PressReader, old Pulse, etc.

I can confirm this does not work. If Samsung would release their WiFi drivers to the development community this problem could be fixed. (If Samsung is too busy with more profitable products, they should let the customers fix the problem, no?)

HDMI
A direct physical HDMI connection is a pretty clumsy way of communicating with a TV. I'd rather use XBMC, DLNA, or one of the streaming boxes and "cast" the content to the TV across my network. Who needs to run a cable across the living room or bedroom between TV and tablet?

Unfortunately if Samsung won't release all the drivers to the development community, it's unlikely that there will ever be a fully functional alternative ROM for the GT-P6800.

I think you listed the issues of CM 11 , and he's using CM 10.X
By the way I got same problem after updating those two apps. So I just uninstalled updates.
I'm still giving the stock ROM some time , as I own this tablet from only 2 months..but I think I'm gonna move to Cyanogenmod in time, its not only Samsung thing, all stock Roms from all brands I've tested get laggy after few months..:| , even with pure android on nexues 7 , this thing I've never seen with Apple tho they still power their flagship devices with Dual Core, and 1 GB Ram.!

Don't fill up the whole of your internal sdcard and fstrim (JB only) your partitions once a week or on boot. Also, improve android LMK & min frees with V6SuperCharger, or CrossBreeder etc. This may help, but involves some reading on your part.
Apple don't fill their device with as many useful features (or bloatware), which would require greater hardware capacity. There's no comparison.

[Q] Very strange location problem...

Hi everyone,
I'm having a very strange problem with my new Nexus 5: I noticed that sometimes (many times every day, to be honest) my phone displayed wrong locations in Google Now. The GPS module seems to work because when I opened Google Maps and checked for my location it found the right position in few seconds, even setting "Device Only" in Location settings.
So, I decided to take a look at my Location History, and here's what I got:
It seems like I've been in Paris, Rawang, Kanpur and Bangkok several times in the past few days, but I never moved from Italy!!!
I think I can exclude the possibility for my Google account to have been hacked, because of the two-steps authentication which should send an SMS to my phone when someone tries to log in.
I've also restored my phone to the default settings and erased my data when I rooted it, but the problem is still there, as it was before rooting it.
Please help :crying: I don't know what to do, and I'd rather not to send my phone back to google because, apart from this issue, it's perfect.

But that won't help me solving my problem... actually my phone finds its right position if it uses the GPS: the issue appears only when Google Now asks for the location (based on the 3G network i suppose).

May I also ask you if you use Tasker or if you tried to reboot your phone when the location would fail? For example last night it'd not locate me, or actually it would, saying that I was where I work, but i left work 3 hours earlier and I live 50 km away from it, but after a while trying to get a fix I rebooted the phone and voilà, located I was...

Reminds me of when I was experimenting with intermediate pos in the gps.conf file. I got some drastic errors with positioning. You can check that manually in the file or you can download a great free app called fasterGPS which will show that.
If that's not the case check for recent solar activity online which can cause these kinds of issues.

My situation is slightly different... A reboot doesn't even temporarily solve my problem, and I don't use tasker (though I think I'd get the same location issue with that, like all the application which rely on the cellular network to determine position).

We have specifically said that this is not about the gps, gps positioning is fine.

Now I'm sure: it's a Google Play Services problem.
As a matter of fact, if I delete Play Services' data when the issue pops up, and then swipe to update Google Now, it finds my correct location.

Google Music plays slightly fast with Bluetooth?

CM12 official nighlies, just updated to latest one but this has been a problem since I went from stock 05Q to CM12. Google Play Music plays slightly faster than it should only on Bluetooth..... I have clean flashed twice, cleared cache for app and system and still it does it. Anyone know why?

Is anyone else experience this?

Bluetooth is usually always the problem between CM upgrades..... Not sure why but I've noticed it's the first thing to break no matter the phone.,

Yes I also have this issue with CM12 on my Galaxy S5 SM-G900M. I have it affecting both the Google Play Music app and the stock CM music app. I tried all the regular stuff also (clear cache, full wipe, yada yada).
Seems to be affecting multiple devices I guess.

Also affects me, thought it was so weird but it has always happened with my OnePlus one.

I had a note 2 a while back that had this issue. It was a kernel issue. Maybe try a dif kernel? I'm on CM11 05Q running franco kernel considering there's CM12 support?

I will flash back CM12 and test with a different kernel tonight. Retest Bluetooth audio on my way to work tomorrow and report what happens.

Tried two different kernels with no change. Still having bluetooth audio skip and play slightly faster / higher pitched.

Just an update. I am still having this issue... I clean flashed Slim 5.0 and the problem was still there
Just had a thought, can anyone try to recreate the issue with AwesoePlayer instead of Nuplayer

Turning off Wi-fi during Bluetooth playback worked for some other devices experiencing the problem.
Edit: apparently this has been a reoccurring issue across multiple devices with android.

Same issue with Spotify
I updated to CM12S on my OPO yesterday. Noticed since that music plays fast and pauses every 15 seconds.
Any advice on resolving?

I'm having the same issue on CM12s. :/

Hope there's a fix for this soon, it's a huge issue for me. Music sounds like **** when trying to listen to it in the car.

A lot of people experience problem with bluetooth, the problem for me is there since 4.4.4. I can't receive phone calls in my car (BMW E39) . At best it connect 15 seconds then bluetooth restart on my phone. In CM bug tracker there is A LOT of complains. I don't mean to ***** but devs need to seriously look into this. Some bug report are from OCTOBER 14.

Issues using Pixel 2 as a hotspot for Nintendo Switch

Hi, I've been trying to get online with my switch using my Pixel 2 as a hotspot, but I keep getting a DNS error, saying the name could not be resolved. I didn't have this issue with my Nexus 5X when I had it, or when I use my girlfriend's Galaxy S6, so I'm thinking it's an issue with the Pixel 2 settings.
Has anyone had this issue and been able to fix it? Thanks in advance!

Could this be caused by the network you are attached to? I was running into problems with different ports being closed and ended up running things through a VPN to open them up.
