[Q] Issues with I9500 - Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Going through the many thing that my phone can do, and I've noticed a few issues.
1. Any sort of tethering doesn't work. I can turn on WiFi / Bluetooth tethering and other devices can connect to mine.But no internet connection is shared with the other device.
2. YouTube videos won't load. This includes the app, and in browser using the mobile and desktop version.
3. Some apps won't run in the background, including Viber.
Thanks for the help
PS I included a screenshot of the system info if that helps.

Hidden apps and connection status

After searching both here and on google I have not found anything so I'm hoping some of you may be able to help me out with two minor annoyances.
I have noticed that several applications can run without showing up in the task manger (both dutty and the regular one).
Is there a way to see and/or close these applications?
I have WorldMate installed and even though I have disabled auto updates it still connects. So my second question is this:
Is there a way to see what applications are using a data connection (preferably the exact executable)?
Thanks in advance!
I think the standard HTC one (included with the phone) is able to shut down more, but l'm not sure about your problems.
If you have a search through the apps section then i think I've seen something in there that tells you what is using your data (data monitor of some sort?)
Sorry I can't be of more help.
Owen.
in standard task manager click menu view processes to see lots more of what is running.

[Q] HyperDroid WiFi issue on HTC HD2

Hi,
since a few days im using HyperDroidGBXv5 on my HTC HD2, the ROM is beautiful but unfortunately there is a problem with any Wifi remote app i tried.
I can access my Wifi network, surf through the internet, remote control my PC etc.
But there is no way to access my phone from the PC for remote file transfer oder remote controlling the phone. It acts like there is a damn firewall on the phone, not even a ping to the phone is possible!
Tested apps:
DroidPhoneControl Lite
Droid VNC Server
Wireless File Transfer Pro
Remote Web Desktop
Here is my logcat log: pastebin [dot] com [slash] iaQaKuLM
During the logging i start Wireless File Transfer Pro an try to access the phone vom browser. But there is no visible error on the phone so i think the logs are useless!?
1. Is the bug reproducible?
Yes
2. How do you reproduce it?
Just start the app
3. What is the expected behavior?
Access the phone wireless by browser, vnc or ping
4. What actually happens?
Nothing... On the PC just a 404 error
5. Do you have a Task Killer running?
ES Taskmanager, AppMonster but no automatic task killer
6. Are you on the default Kernel?
No i dont think so -> 2.6.32.12rafpigna_1.7_OC-g39281e5 root [at] rafpigna-pc #15
7. Did you restore using Titanium Backup?
No
1. Are you using the default kernel?
See above
2. If using a custom kernel are you loading the correct bcm4329.ko and tun.ko?
Sorry i dont know, let me know where i find this informations
3. Are you using a fresh data.img created by the system on 1st boot?
I exactly followed the tutrial in the HyperDroidGBXv5 thread
4. Are you using the default Build Folder Name that came with your version?
Yes
If any additional information is needed please let me know.
I know there are some problems with wifi tethering on this release but i found nothing regarding the problems that I have...
I really like to use the wifi remote features again and i would really appreciate for any help
greetings
MakkuZ
There are few threads regarding this issue.
I am using Ultimate Droid 3, also Gingerbread based. Few people I think was from MDJ's CM7. So it could be GB problem, dont know, no one really provided any usefull info.
There is a workaround for this. When you connect to wifi on your phone, open terminal emulator and do a ping to your PC's IP address, or use any ping app (I am using Net Ping from market). As soon as you start to ping your PC, connection is immidiatelly opened. I have no idea why it is like that, but for now I am using this method when I want to use FTP server on HD2....
OH MAN! Thanks a lot
Thats really nice! Have you tried to write a little script with ping and your ip adress in it?
Haven't tried with scripts. I use NetPing, just enter my PC IP and click ping...
I have tried some ping apps here are the results for my phone/ROM:
Working:
Ping by Firedale
Ping!Up
Terminal Emulator
Not working:
PingCmd
Ping & DNS
NetPing
I recommend Ping by Firedale because you can save different hosts in a compfortable list an ping them with one click.
Thats a really nice workaround especialy when you are at different locations!

Testers wanted for PeerDeviceNet -sharing thru wifi, wifi direct and mobile hotspot

!!! updated 12/28/2012: add code to detect and use mobile hotspot to enable sharing among devices !!!
I'd like to invite people to participate an open testing session for app "PeerDeviceNet - sharing thru WiFi and WiFi-Direct".
It runs on android 2.2 and above. It is free at google play:
https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.xconns.free.peerdevicenet
I have done tests using Nexus 7, Samsung Tab 2.0, Kindle fire(1gen), Galaxy Vibrant. I'd like more complete coverage of devices and vendors.
It supports 4 kinds of device-device connections:
1. for devices at the same wifi net: start PeerDeviceNet at devices simultaneously will allow them find and connect to each other automatically.
2. for devices which are all wifi direct enabled: from system preferences, you can setup wifi direct group connection; PeerDeviceNet will pick up this group info and connect devices in group automatically.
3. if only one device is wifi direct enabled: you can use PeerDeviceNet to create a softwareAP/hotspot at this device (PeerDeviceNet->Connection settings->Create wifi direct hotspot), other wifi devices can use generated ssid and passphrase to connect.
4. for devices with mobile hotspot, you can use mobile hotspot to connect devices and enable sharing.
It extends android's "share/send" feature to allow sharing of the following data:
1. photos/videos (single or multiple) (gallery), audios(astro, solid-browser, or other browsers)
2. web pages (browsers)
3. contact info(Contacts)
4. pdf, word docs (astro or other file managers)
5. apps (google play)
I'll highly appreciate it if you can spend some time installing the app and try out some of the above scenarios. If you encounter Force Closure, please post your device info, android version, or ROM info.
Thanks!
This works fantastically between all of my devices, ranging from Ginger Bread, Honey Comb, and Jelly Bean.
WiFi hotspot also works very well.
This really is a handy app, something like this should definitely be implemented into base Android. Sharing files between devices that have NFC is a breeze, but legacy devices can be troublesome. This is an excellent solution for both worlds.
downloading
looks good
Installed and gave it a test drive.
Works perfectly on our Galaxy S III, Galaxy S II, Galaxy Tab 10.1, Xperia X8, Packard Bell Liberty Tab G100 and Wildfire S - after adding the devices manually. For some unknown reason they don't see each other, though the local LAN has no restrictions put into place.
Hi, I´ve been testing this between SGN2 N7100 (Stock Rooted) and MyTouch 4g Slide (CM9.1 R8) and it works great (no FC etc.)
I have several questions though:
a) I´d like to buy you a beer. There is a paid version but that one is far behind the free one in updates...
b) chat works great (as long as I have signal. but within a flat its mostly great). Will there be an implementation into the full version?
c) if I buy the full version, will you be updating it?
Thanks! Keep it up!
EDIT: seems to me that your app fights with anyconnect VPN (even if that one is running in background I get FC from anyconnect and superuser permissions asked all time... I´ll look into the behavior a bit closer if I find some time) else everything works good.
EDIT: after reinstall of anyconnect it works flawlessly. Keep it up!
File Expert by Geek Software Technology
I have been using File Expert to do similar things... perhaps I don't understand this program's full benefits or potential. FE also connects via bluetooth and runs both a web and FTP server.
It would be nice if you implement an option to close the app...

Agree with that. It's quite painful to close an app by going into settings instead of hitting some button from the home interface.
Testing now
Downloaded and tried it..
I have a GS3 that it seems to work on, and a Nook color (the original one) from like 2 years ago running CM7 that it just gives a black screen on. I can use the regular wifi connect from the Nook and connect to the hotspot from your PeerDeviceNet but there's no sharing of data back and forth, unfortunately. If the app worked on both I'm sure it'd be much better, but I don't suspect the older Nooks will be a big percentage of your users.

Thanks for your feedback. The failure to see peer devices in LAN could be related to one issue i fixed in the latest release; please give it a try.
Also PeerDeviceNet's "search and connect" is based on peer-peer "pairing": no one is acting as server and waiting for other clients. All participating peer devices must start search at same time or in same short time period so that they can find each other. If one peer finished its searching when a new peer starts searching, the new one cannot see the one just finished. It is for security reason.

compare to file expert

File expert is a powerful browser with many nice features. PeerDeviceNet is a totally different creature.
As a app, it plainly extends android native "sharing" protocol (send/send_multiple) to connected devices, to allow you share content from one device to another. (As a framework, it provides the components and runtime to support connected mobile apps). It has minimal GUI to support connecting devices and monitoring send/recv sessions. It has strong support for connecting multiple devices, run multiple concurrent send/recv sessions, and running in background.
So normally you will use your favorite apps to browse/view content, and when you want to share the content with another device, you hit "share" button and PeerDeviceNet will be there to help connect to other devices.
So you can use Astro file manager or Solid explorer with PeerDeviceNet to share files across devices similar to file expert.
Also PeerDeviceNet allows you share contact info, web links, or apps from google play to connected devices.

There is "shutdown" button for that : "Connection settings" -> "Shutdown". It will shut down all background services and clean up notifications.

Mmm, too many button presses to get there. It would be easier to have a "Shutdown" button in the notification shade. Otherwise well done! I tested sharing files between LG Optimus 3D (p920) and Xperia Mini (st15i) connected on the same LAN. Everything worked fine.
Can one add a function to "tether" a hotspot? but from wifi and not from 3g?
This would be really awsome.

Yo so I got the full version. The lite is good but wanted to buy you a beer... Managed to transfer 4gb of data in few minutes between my and friends Samsung phone (unfortunately in 3 steps because of the data amount limit). Very useful, the chat also works good.
When will we see full version updated with chat and unlimited data transfer?
Thanks

Not sure this will really help. because when connecting to PeeerDeviceNet hotspot, we already use wifi connection, so why not just connect to external wifi router directly?

Thanks for using PeerDeviceNet and offering beer. I am still working on the full edition. For now i removed the limit of transfer capacity. Please chek out the new release at google play. https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.xconns.free.peerdevicenet

chkalyan, we are building an app that does exactly just that. The app is called Drop, and it is a simple, fast, and secure way to share files with people/devices in proximity over WiFi Direct. We are going into a limited Private Beta soon, so if you're up for the challenge, (and running Jelly Bean) then sign up at www.get-drop.com. Seats are limited, and we have a rolling enrollment, so check it out.
