Has anyone else noticed the NFC refuses to switch off, since Android 6 already.
Never mind what option in settings related to NFC I tried, always stays a dull / softer blue of other active options like sync or gps ...etc ...
In NFC settings menu, the on off switch is grey and locked to only on, so either my phone hates Tmo firmware or they have a bug they refuse to fix.
I flashed old, new, emergency restored with smart switch, tried G930U Tmobile versions and today just snapped. Talked to Tmobile and they refuse to accept they have firmware issues.
I tried other firmware and the NFC works perfectly in those firmwares.

I jsut dicovered my new G4's wifi has been disabled by operator. Can anyone help to activate it? There is a red cross over the comm manager on today screen. Please help!!
Do I feel silly or what.
I got rid of the icon (and the whole tray) so I didn't remember, but the cross just means your WiFi is off (not flight mode as I said earlier), which is the default state. Open the comm manager (you can use the button on the left side of the phone) and tap the antenna icon. this will turn WiFi on.
Just in case I am wrong (phone operators don't like devices with WiFi because it reduces data usage by customers) hard reset your phone and quickly soft reset before customization is installed (there should be a 3 second countdown).
What the above poster said.
Or perhaps flash your phone with a new/clean ROM from e.g. qtek. (here)
But flashing the device is not really everyone their thing, so you need to figure out whether you wanna do that at all. Giving it a hardreset without installing the extra apps almost gives the same result.
But don't forget to use the 'ROMUpdateUtility_NoID.exe ' when you try to update, else you get an error. But that's all in the topic there. And don't forget to fully charge battery before update
(hey, this is the upgrading part of website no bad to lead people to the dark side eh? )
wifi
I have tried so many romes and none of them will turn on my wifi is there some trick I need to know about? did you fix your wifi?
Well, when using a different rom I guess the operater doesn't have that much to do with it anymore.
Just when you go into the com-manager you see an icon that looks like an antenna thingy with a little cross next to it. Just press it and there you have wifi (should become yellow without the cross).
That should be working standard with a 'normal' rom like the new qtek one. Connecting is another story though once the wifi is enabled (connecting with wifi is a bit tricky at times).
I flashed the qtek rom on my Dopod 830 (bought in China) successfully. However, the wifi on the comm manager still failed to activate. So the assumption (conclusion) is China Telecom simply removed the the wifi chip.
I think you may just have a faulty device.
To my knowledge, no phone company actually has the facility, or would bother with the enormous cost of modifying devices in such a way.
Could you be more specific as to what happens? I have a feeling there is a big misunderstanding here somewhere.
You press the button on the side, the comm manager comes up, you click the icon with an antenna and...
a) noting happens.
b) error message pops up.
c) wait cursor (circle with 4 colors) appears, but the button remains with the x.
d) non of the above.
I think you may have rushed a bit with flashing different ROMs. Try putting the original ROM back, without the extended ROM and see what happens.
Thanks levenum! My problem is (c), there is a waiting sign and the icon remained x. The original rom is in simplified chinese CHS and now I am having the 2.20.7.34 wwe with everything running fine except wifi. Will try to flash back to a CHS rom and see what is happening.
Well that does sound like a hardware / driver problem, but it is more likely a fault than intentional deactivation.
Is the phone under warranty by chance?
If so, once you have the original ROM you might try getting it repaired in the lab.
Also check the phone details on the site of your phone company. Do they state this model has WiFi or do they 'conveniently' omit it.
I checked with China Telecom and Dopod, they said the wifi chip has been removed. I am not sure how they can remove the chip but many phones selling in China have got wifi removed. How can I know the wifi is physically removed or is jsut deactivated?

I have exactly the same problem with you, as I searched the forum, some poster tell that Dopod from China mobile, the wifi chip is factory removed.
Does anyone have the schematic of the full-function prophet, so i could locate the wifi chip position, so i can upgrade my Dopod 830 by hardware way
thanks
Is wifi direct disabled by Samsung for the Skyrocket? Coworker and I are on ICS 4.0.3 (ICSMOD5) and can connect but when we try to send a file,pic or anything it doesn't display his device as an available option.
Really tired of having to pull out my SD card to send files.
same problem on my end except it won't fully connect either. just detect other devices. probably just an early version bug.
Maybe. I don't remember if this was available back on 2.3.6 or not.
We do have wifi direct cert but is samsung disabling this?
http://certifications.wi-fi.org/pdf_certificate.php?cid=WFA12015
i believe it was.
at least 2.3.5 it was.
Switched to a few different roms with the same results. Even tried to mix and match ICS roms with coworkers and we still can't get it to do jack.
Hand to face moment..
SOLVED: Disable the data and reconnect. It wasn't allowing the send I think because the LTE was still on. Works fine now.
Hi everyone,
I recently bought the phone from T-Dimension and it's having some issues and I was wondering if anyone could help me out or if they've run into something similar. The issue is I can't seem to send/receive any calls and I can't send/receive any texts. The bizarre thing is it works for the first 45 seconds when I reboot but then locks me out straight after that. The phone is issued from Hong Kong and had Color OS on it but I flashed CyanogenMod onto it, here's some more information.
- The phone is connected to Amaysim, which runs of the Optus network I believe, so it's connected onto the mobile network just fine.
- The Micro-SIM card I'm using is brand new, it's put in correctly into the slot, meaning upside down facing towards the bottom of the phone, so that's fine.
- I've tested the SIM with other phones and it works perfectly fine.
- When it locks me after 45 seconds, it fluctuates from saying, "Call Not Sent" to just it being stuck on the dialling screen.
- After being locked out, I can't receive any calls either, I've tried calling the phone but nothing shows up.
- After being locked out, I can't receive any messages either, when I try to send a message it just stays stuck in sending, and if I restart the phone, it just says the text failed.
- I've contacted Amaysim Help Desk, and they say my problems lie with the phone being locked, and I'll have to contact the manufacturer to sort it out.
- I've also contacted my supplier, who seems to have trouble finding out the issue.
- APN settings are set correctly with my mobile carrier.
- Already done a factory reset, didn't fix the issue.
- Put the preferred network type to 3G under Mobile Network settings.
- I flashed CyanogenMod 11S using this tutorial from youtube, /watch?v=QDKOEtN9pbo and downloaded the cm-11.0-XNPH22R-bacon-signed.zip file.
Please can anyone help me with issue, sorry for long wall of text, I really want this phone to work!
Cheers,
You probably should flash another modem & then try.Here

Hey there fellow Aussie. See link provided by other member, it should fix you up.

That modem actually proved to be worse for me.. Before I didnt have stable 3G connection.. that modem made my 4G connection worse too. The best, and most stable modem I have found thus far is in the latest nightlies. It is still very very very weak when it comes to 3G connectivity but its better than everything else I have tried. And believe me, I have tried pretty much every rom there is on this forum including XNPH22R, XNPH25R, MahdiRom, CyanHacker, and All the nightlys.
The only one I havent tried is Color OS because I am afraid it will lock my bootloader again.
Hi!
Im on exynos version of S7 and i have a little problem.
On apeq stock firmware (i didnt noticed this before), when locking device / turning off screen, phone is activating Bluetooth on its own! Ive noticed Bluetooth icon disappearing moments after turning screen on. There is battery drain from Bluetooth sharing (or someting simmilar, i have non-english version of android set).
Bluetooth is disabled in options and Bluetooth scanning is turned off. I do not use any kind of Bluetooth hardware /dongles.
Is this a common bug?
I haven't seen or heard of this before, but just thinking about it...Do you have any location based apps running that night trigger your bluetooth like IFTTT or My Places?
No, i've got no such things besides standard google apps. No new apps since last rom update.
Well, i think i have found a guilty app.
I tried factory reset, then i have downgraded to APC8 firmware and still, after app installation bluetooth started to show up.
By trial & error method i started to delete apps one by one and found out that SwiftKey was the "bad apple". Unfortunately for me - it's my favorite keyboard...
Well, after uninstalling and replacing it with google keyboard all is fine for now.
I got the Pixel 1, and it was working fine and great on 7.0, then 8.0 came along and i did the update, now its complete garbage. The phone will periodically shut off and turn back on, the bluetooth is almost not usable.
I drive a Ram, so it utilzes the Uconnect system, it worked flawlessly on 7.0, but now when its connected and i play spotify thru the Uconnect, it does not display song name or artist, it just says pixel, i never had this issue before. And to add insult to injury, this morning when i made a call to my wife thru my Uconnect system, it didn't even connect to my bluetooth, it was ringing thru my phone, I even checked to make sure the BT was on, it says it was and it was connected.
so does anyone know if there is a fix for this? or am i SOL? I really like the phone otherwise, these issues only came up after i updated to 8.0, can i downgrade it back to 7?

Bluetooth is an intermittent issue with Pixel and Oreo. Google is aware and apparently added a fix in most recent update (November).
Fortunately, I have had no issue with Bluetooth and Oreo on my Pixel.
Concerning downgrade, you can always flash any factory image.
does it not have a rollback protection? From my understanding, i would need to OEM unlock it first before i can roll it back, mine is on 8.0 from verizon and apprantly the oem unlock is protected so i cannot turn it on

Wasn't aware you had Verizon's version. You may want to check with Google Forums concerning the Bluetooth issue. Best wishes!
