If your wifi is unstable try this! - Galaxy S III General (US Carriers)

I had installed a wifi booster app from the market and didn't see any difference so when I uninstalled the application my wifi connection at home became unstable. It kept slowing down and freezing so I got my board and started surfing the web and found this solution from gs3 reviews website. It worked like a charm! Wifi back to normal.
White Hot! GS3.

just tried this .. well see how this works out and come back and post my findings. good find.

That does work but Wi-Fi will suck down a fair bit more juice. At least it did for me. Cycling Wi-Fi also works but more annoying. I believe the culprit is actually my aging wrt54gs.

Open it in a new tab.

This only works until you reboot the phone. Then it resets it to "on"

This has been posted so many times

Thanks I just turned off the wifi option. I will try it out for a while.

I'm pretty sure this is the same as "best wifi performance" on the one x. It maintains a better connection because is disallows the phone entering sleep mode. Could be wrong however......

You can use the "anycut" app from the Play store and select the activity named "wifi debug screen" which will create a direct shortcut to that menu.

100% agreed.science is flop on note 3
Try updating router firmware, it worked for me and be warned: turning off wifi power save mode will kill your battery withing 24 hrs max, even if you don't use your phone at all.

Then how is it possible modify kernel is working well?
I face wifi button is not working in stock kernel
Go to settings on phone>wifi. Hit the menu button at the bottom of the screen then advanced. Turn off auto network switch. Also you can untick scanning always available as this is a battery drain too.
*To fix this pb : modify with root explorer
build.prop ro.securestorage.support=true - Change to false.
WiFi works fine on reboot

ROMs and Modems

Hi everyone,
I had been running LiquidSmooth 3.1 for several weeks with great results. I thought I would try something else for fun, and flashed a Google Edition ROM by Danvdh. It was not to my liking and I quickly went back to LiquidSmooth - however now I am finding I have very poor signal strength. I no longer receive signal in my garage, or at work, or even in my living room where this was previously never an issue. Right now I am sitting at my computer beside a large window, and I have LTE connection. By the time I have finished typing this post, I have no connection
I have now upgraded to LiquidSmooth 3.2 but the issue remains. I will lose my connection to Rogers and when I go to Mobile Network Settings > Network Operators it only sometimes finds a connection.
Is there any way I can test my antenna or flash a Rogers/Canada modem that might help with this?
Well this is interesting...let me provide some background info.
A few weeks back I broke the screen on my S4. I purchased a screen replacement on ebay for $120, but it was for an i9500 which has a few very small differences, and required taking an xacto knife to some plastic moulding to accommodate some different IC clearance. That worked great, but I noticed that my screen was constantly black when on a phone call - as if my proximity sensor was always detecting 'near'. Sure enough, I used an app to confirm this - and this is common after screen replacements with non-OEM screens. A fix for this is to put a small strip of electrical tape between the two proximity sensors so they can better detect a 'difference'. Put the phone together, and this worked great, my phone now properly detected proximity, I felt like a champion, so I wanted to flash a new ROM.........now read post 1.
I've attached a screen recording I took of it just dropping connection...and reconnecting, almost flickering in and out. It seems to average about -120dbm (10%), but I'm not sure whats normal. It seems to drop connection around -130dbm.
I've been able to flash a new modem I337MVFLUFNI2 but my issue still exists. Is it possible that I physically damaged parts of the antenna when replacing the screen? I am very confident working with electronics and there doesn't seem to be any physical damage that I can see
When using Danvdh GPE rom you have to manually select LTE from access point menu. Did you do this?
---------- Post added at 09:15 PM ---------- Previous post was at 09:11 PM ----------
I would suggest you flash back to stock fw to your current boot loader. Of its mdj current then flash back to mdj stock via Odin. You have a miss match of hardware and perhaps a mismatch of uuids is your issue?
---------- Post added at 09:16 PM ---------- Previous post was at 09:15 PM ----------
Then re-upgrade just modem. Be Sir to do this all with aim card out and no WiFi or else when on stock you may auto upgrade to Knox boot loader !

That sounds like a great idea. I found this thread that says my default would be I337MVLUEMK6 (is this my bootloader version?) . I went to samsung updates and found my phone the SGH-I337M with the MK6 and am downloading it currently. Will this flash my bootloader/ROM/everything back to stock? Or will I have to find a stock ROM as well?
I have selected LTE from my APN menu.
Attached are a couple screenshots of the Network Signal Info app I downloaded which has been a great resource. You can see that at some points I jump from great signal to no signal, almost instantly. I believe that this might be due to something that happened when I swapped my screen - perhaps a grounding issue of some sort....researching how to troubleshoot this as well.
Thanks for stopping by my thread :highfive:

The changes in cpu governor from the setting's performance options may lead to problems. So DO NOT Tweak with it. If you really want to tweak the performance then install custom kernels. Hope it may help

Flashlight and flash mostly didn't work

On stockfirmware the flashlight and also the flash didn't work most of the time (battery >90%).
Only sometimes when connected to the powersupply it works.
When it works and I switch on the flashlight with connected powersupply and then I disconnect the powersupply, the flashlight is still on and can't be switched off.
First I have to connect the powersupply again and then I can switch off the flashlight.
I allready did a complete wipe, but it won't be better.
Same here, flashlight works most of the time tho, but flashlight on camera never works, it´s grayed out.
Did you report the bug?
---------- Post added at 07:41 PM ---------- Previous post was at 07:03 PM ----------
I reported that bug now here: http://community.cyngn.com/t/some-m...lash-flashlight-poor-wifi-back-button-led/208
feel free to jump in there and post something yourself, the more people the better
I have noticed that the flash would only work if you use "Automatic" mode. In all other modes, the flash is greyed out.

I reported the excel-calendar-bug.
I'm a bit frustrated, because it seems nothing happens
Over a week without any update, but more and more bugs are reported, and the company/support doesn't give any feedback or even react on emails or reply on the cyanogen-community-board
It's really sad, because I think it could be really a great device, but it seems ZUK doesn't have any type of support.
If soon nothing happens, I will send it back and this was my first and last try with this company.
Anyone with the solution of camera flashlight.

Random Reboots. Is there a known cause and/or fix yet?

I'm still experiencing random reboots from time-to-time. The other day it was at least 4 times in an hour. I can't isolate the problem. It has happened to me on stock rom/kernel and also rooted/custom kernel.
flash the factory image. as far as i know random reboots are not an issue with this device. must be a rogue app or something messing you up

Do a search here and on reddit.com/r/nexus6p for reboot and you'll see it's a fairly common issue
I get random reboots also, but for me it happens every couple days, mostly when i'm watching a video on an app or youtube

Huh. Just experienced this myself. I was playing music and all of a sudden, the 6P reboots itself. Will have to monitor this going forward.
Stock ROM (rooted with Xposed).
I have had only a few sporadically across many different factory images. I can see no rhyme or reason to it. If it started to happen all the time I would use my insurance for a different unit. I do notice my power button is easy to press so maybe it's getting held down in my pocket. My HTC One would do that when I sat down sometime because the fold in my pants would press right on the button. Took me a while to figure out why it kept happening. Not sure that is the case here though. I would like to know why it resets sometimes.

Maybe the throttling isn't working right. Could be overheating.
