[Q] Wifi xoom on 3.2 wifi issue? [SOLUTION]

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?

"Invisible" data drops with CM 9/ 10

Hi people,
I'm opening a new thread because I have not seen a post about my kind of data drops here and couldn't find any by searching.
Thing is, since switching to Cyanogenmod 9 my data dropped. However these drops are kind of "invisible" because the system bar shows H/ G/ or else, but download/ upload arrows show only sometimes and if they don't, there's no data transmission. So I have to wait all the time until finally the system seemingly randomly decides to download stuff although there is a H/ G/ ... shown.
It worked with stock ROM and Bulletproof, but this issue arose when I flashed CM 9 and also persists with CM 10. Only thing I can find that looks like it can be similar to my problem is this thread: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2034998
Today I updated my radio finally, but still no change. Checked APN settings, everything seems to be fine.
Any help is greatly appreciated.

Have you tried changing your APN settings to a different one? I've had similar issues with CM to what you're describing, switched to internet2.voicestream.com, haven't had many problems since.

i had the same problem before and i called t-mobile and they took me thru step on reconfiguring the step so now i can talk and surf the web at the same time try that but if that doesnt work try reflashing the rom again

I've just been lucky and it works with CM 9 this time and continues to work through new flashes of CM 9. Well... Sadly I don't know what went wrong, but it works now
Still want to answer you guys for archival purposes and if someone looks for a solution... and thanks for replying, it means a lot to me!
I live in Germany and imported the phone, it hasn't been sold here. So I can't ask for technical support.
I looked after the APNs but they were already the ones described as by my carrier.
So... Problem solved... for now. And thanks again!

Blaze Signal Keeps Going Out Problem(On Any ROM!)

So here's my issue, my Galaxy S Blaze has been switched from ROM to ROM constantly, I have seen ROMS with modified build.props, other added features, and a bunch of other tweaks, you name it! I don't know what all those tweaks mean, I have no idea if it could affect the way my phone receives the signal but it got me so frustrated that I kept switching roms until finally then I went back to stock and am no longer am switching to another ROM.
Here's a history of the ROM switching I've made in the past couple of months:
1st - MIUI
2nd- Cyanogenmod
3rd- Gummy ROM
4th- Liquidsmooth ROM
5th- Cyanogenmod
6th- Dirty Unicorns (problems with signal started occurring right about here, and onwards)
7th- Stock ROM (hmm... nope nothing fixed.)
8th- Validus (still no, I didn't like the constant force-closing of many apps)
9th- Gummy ROM (nope, what's worse is my screen kept freezing if I had atleast 2 apps open and I slid down the notification drawer)
10th- Cyanogenmod (well, maybe switching to cyanogenmod will fix it)
11th- Gummy ROM (*sigh* switching back? Nope, still didn't help my signal)
12th- Stock ROM (you would expect it to be fixed right about here, but nope)
So what's up what is the exact problem with my signal? Here's the thing: My signal works! That's a start atleast. However, if I turn on my Wi-Fi while I'm home, I can still call/text people, all of that works. But after maybe 2 hours or so, the signal bar is still there, it's telling me it has signal and it's connected, SOMETIMES it will be empty meaning I have no signal(when I really do). But in reality, I can't receive texts, nor calls, none of that. So how do I fix it? By restarting my phone sadly, that has been the only solution for me for these past 2 months. People have complained to me because I don't answer my phone anymore, well I'm sorry my phone can't receive those calls due to this messed up signal. There are 3 other T-Mobile phones in the house that have no problem! The problem here is with my Blaze phone.
So what if I turn the Wi-Fi off for the whole day and see if it's the main thing causing the issue? Well, I did this. Turns out that the signal stays on longer than when I'm on Wi-Fi but it still goes out. I have switched SIM Cards, I have tried switching my APN: from "epc.tmobile.com" to "fast.t-mobile.com" but the problem appears to happen more quickly on the "epc" one than the "fast" one. Please help me with this, this has been frustrating me a lot lately. I'm not sure if anyone has even had the same exact problem that I'm having, I've searched online but haven't seen a similar problem.
Some of you might say, wow that is a lot of ROMS you've switched to, I'm sure there were more that I missed but that's as of recent. I can install ROMS correctly, I know how to use CWM when installing a .zip and using Odin when it's a .tar(or other supported file extensions). I've factory reset, wiped the cache, the dalvik cache, all before installing a new rom. After installing each rom, I've also factory reset and wiped the cache to make sure no other problems could affect the way the rom would work. Hopefully I did the procedure right, thanks for anyone who's willing to help me!
Right now I am running:

Another Issue is that I can't even transfer files to and from my phone when connected to my computer! This is another big issue, here are some images:

Here's what happens when I turn Wi-Fi Calling on but maybe it's just a built-in function that I forgot it had and it's probably normal:

By the way, sorry for the links just copy and paste them in a browser to and remove the spaces between the http :// and i.imgur, thanks! Unfortunately, I can't post links until I reach 10 posts. If the links don't work for you, I've also provided attachments.
Many thanks!!!

That last picture does show the proper function of Wi-Fi calling however I don't know what to say about the rest of your problems.

There are two things I would recommend trying...
1. Use Blackhole System Wipe
I know you've been following all the proper steps in CWM (and I would say to keep doing so), but I've added using Blackhole, in addition to the first steps, and I always get great system performance on my phone, and my parent's phones (I put them on ProvisionMod after stock was being stupid). It works well for pre installation for ANY ROM and helps prevent pesky issues. However, chances are, your issue is baseband related and this probably won't solve it... But still! You never know! It's worth a shot!
2. Reroot your phone
I know this will be annoying and pesky... but sometimes the process goes wrong from the beginning and starts giving issues later on... When I first rooted my mom's blaze, something went wrong, despite my following all the directions, and one of her partitions was completely disabled, no matter the ROM. I redid the process of rooting her phone (not from GB though... From the ICS stock) and fixed the issue instantly! I would try these two steps first and see if they do anything! Good luck!

no sound, no auto-rotate
I am fairly new to Rooting and updating my Xoom to the newest Kitkat system. I am having 2 issues as of right now. The sound has never worked no matter what the settings say, and initially the auto-rotate was functioning and suddenly it stopped.
I have checked all options/setting and see nothing that should explain either of these 2 issues. I also didnt add any new apps in the time from initial update to the auto-rotate not working so if anyone has any suggestions or ideas, it would be greatly appreciated.
Again I am fairly new to all this, so the simpler or more detailed the potential solution the more likely I will understand it.
Thanks.

No sound on Omni 4.4 cmda version
I love the rom, only problem is I have no sound on the cmda version. I read the comments and saw people suggest install the top rom version over the bottom and then reflashing gapps. Should have sound. When I do this tablet boots but keeps giving me error "Unfortunately, the process com.android.phone has stopped" I say ok but it keeps coming up and wont let me get any further. Any suggestions?

volume issue
Anyone know how to fix the no sound issue in omni rom 4.4.4 stingray cdma? I cant get any sound at all. Help would be appreciated.

Took a couple go's but now up and running 4.4.2!
Thank you!
First time I've moved from the standard stock implementation, never even rooted the device before, but a couple attempts and following your instructions I managed to install BigPart, Flash omni-4.4.2-201XXXXX-everest-HOMEMADE_XXXX.zip, gapps-xxxx.zip & UPDATE-SuperSU-v1.86.zip.
I was about to give up on the Xoom and buy something newer, Tab S or something, but this appears to have put new life back into the old Xoom!
Followed the instructions above, but could not get it to clear Dalvik, failed every time. In the end I bit the bullet and formatted the internal drive, then flashed again - worked like a charm - figured since I was going to pass it over for a new one or this was going to work I had little to lose. As it happens I now seem to have it back & working well.
Now have bunch of apps back installed and trying them all out, so far most appear to be fine; though Google maps crashes whenever I zoom in too far.... less than a country level, I don't mean excessively far - thoughts?

Google Maps v9+ has problems on the Xoom with all the different custom ROMS (Omni, CWM, EOS, etc). You need to downgrade to Maps v8.4.1 to get it to work.

It has also been noted that 9.2.0 is rolling out and that it works on the Xoom. I updated yesterday and did a quick check - it does appear to work fine!

No Sound
After I flashed "[ROM][4.4.4] OmniROM - Stingray/Stingray_CDMA - bigPart." onto my Verizon Motorola Xoom 4G Tablet,
I have no sound at all and also the auto-rotate feature does not work (stays locked in portrait mode until reboot).
A number of other forum members have posted the same problem. Can we get a solution from someone on the forum?

have all but twrp v 2.6.3 big part
I have every thing I need except big part v2.6.3, none of the links I've found work? Does it have to be v2.6..3. ? There seem to be updated versions?

No 3g or 1x fallback
Install this today, everything went ok, execpt i could not get verizon 3g or 1x service. 4g works fine, when i have coverage. SBF back to stock again i guess.

e:unable to mount '/cache
The process for flashing the xoom (stingray model) seems somewhat straightforward. Yet I can't seem to get a working flash from the effort. Two problems:
1) during the "wipe this and that" stage while running in recovery, I get "FAILED" for each of the requisite areas to wipe, along with other messages such as that in the title. while i find a handful of other posts within this forum from folks experiencing the same problem, i find nothing in response with useful suggestions to fix what's apparently broken;
2) the tablet boots up to the OMNI splash-screen, and that's it.
I've repeated the steps at the head of this thread umpteen-zillion times. But the result is the same after each attempt. Either some critical step (or two) is/are missing from the initial (and horribly written) description, or I have the most stubborn tablet built.
i haven't bricked the thing... i can access it via adb, and i can get into recovery with no issues. what i can't seem to do is:
1) find a TWRP download using the links provided that doesn't trip quarantine due to virus detection; or,
2) find a coherent set of instructions that correctly describe the logical flow of the process of flashing a ROM on a Xoom.
Suggestions?

CDMA Voice and data programming
Hi,
Thanks for your effort and excellent work but I need some help, The main thing i want to try, is to get back my CDMA signal because since i tried the stock rom 4.1.2 i was not able to get any Data working there, my xoom is a just CDMA with no sim or LTE upgrade and i already tried 2 basebands on it the one with the last version of the stock room and the one that gets installed with the IMML update but no luck, if by any chance you have the first baseband it would be great i guess its something like 2.00.
Another question that I have is related to BP tools or programming the Cdma xoom, every time I try to start in bp tools I was not able to see the utility, just today i tried to connect to my PC and its not able to connect to CDMA Workshop or QPST, is there a way to do that? i need to activate something? any idea would be great!
And would be great if you have any MZ600 SBF where has included the first baseband 2.00 'cause probably it will help me to recover my 3g data (it's the only thing i didn't find and try).
Thanks!!!

is this have a default calling future like any mobile?

Thank You to OmniRom for xoom devolopers (all of you)
I just wanted to post a thank you to all of the developers of the omnirom for xoom. I was able to install it tonight, with a couple soft brick scares, but it is up and ruining. I love my xoom and am very appreciative.
Thanks....Steve

Xoom OnmiROM freezes
I've got a similar problem to the problem outlined in this post. My son also has seen it on his Xoom.
When it becomes unresponsive (either on the dock or not), the only way I can recover is to hold the volume up and the power button until the tablet reboots. To me, it appears it goes into a deep sleep that the power button alone can't wake it up from.
There seems to be no set time period that the tablet has to be up before it hangs. Sometimes I can set it down for an hour and other times it's still responsive the next day.

It's not real common for this to happen, but this same issue does occasionally happen on the CyanogenMod 11 Rom also. Other than this, and the workarounds to do a few other things in Android 4.4.4, the Xoom has been a real God send that is just amazing.

[Q] Internet issues

Recently purchased and have been liking the tablet besides it's internet performance. I immedietly updated the tablet to lollipop out of the box so I was not able to test it's network on kitkat.
Since using the tablet I've noticed a variety of issues:
1. Opening webpages in chrome is substantially slower than on my phone (htc one m8 running fairly stock sense rom), with longer load times and occasional hangs on page loads that require a refresh to complete.
2. When using either reddit is fun golden or reddit news pro, subreddits take longer to load than on the M8 as well.
3. Slow Google play downloads. I'm not sure if this is just a Play store being slow or truly an issue with my device. Occasionally if i have multiple downloads or updates qeued it will finish one and just sit on trying to start the next one without actually doing it.
I have been having these issues on two different home networks with different routers, different ISPs, and different cities. Interestingly though, when running the Speed Test app, the tablet does better than the M8 and comes back testing perfectly fine.
Any suggestions as to what i can do to get to the bottom of this? Any diagnostic test I can do? Any setting? Has anyone else been having these issues and is this just an issue with the lollipop update?
Thank you in advance!

Correct me if I'm wrong, but I think any OTA update is a "dirty flash". I also was having many issues that included complete freezing up of the tablet. You having updated out of the box could be different (I had a bunch of apps installed when I updated), but I think most of my issues were solved with a factory reset. ??

I'm sure its a software issue as at school I get 40mb which is alot than my nexus 7, 10mb
