I don't think there's a problem with the router side of things.

 

[t_ski]

The question is, how exactly is it getting messed up? Is it dead to all connections until you reboot it? Is only the wireless (not the wired ports) not working? Is there something on the router you changed from default when you set it up?

my galaxy S isnt connecting to the bluetooth of my navman MY80T, it connects but internet wont share, and audio is only one way (no one can hear me)


any ideas what to look at? running galnet MIUI's gingerbread rom.

hmm quite a few with bluetooth problems with that GPS.... did you look at reviews before you bought it??just wondering...If I ever need a feature on something I google "device feature problems" and if I see a lot then I won't buy it...

Everything in the router gets messed up (both wired and wireless) once I connect my GS2. Nothing was changed in the router at all. It doesn't even have that problem when I first got ICS on my phone (6 days ago), and the problem only appeared 4 days ago.

does the phone have incorrect IP/DNS settings? maybe its trying to do some ICS (internet connection sharing, fuck this two meanings to the one acronym crap)

 

[entropy13]

IP address is DHCP (same as the iPod Touch that has NOT caused problems), proxy settings are "None".

any tethering/net sharing enabled? your phone could be trying to run its own DHCP on the same network.

Thethering and net sharing is disabled.

 

[remixedcat]

went thru all the IP settings on your router and phone right???

 

[t_ski]

I'm wondering if the phone is trying to force some kind of encryption setting that the router doesn't like. Since this is something that is new to the phone that was working fine, have you tried resetting the phone to default?

 

[entropy13]

That's what I feared I had to do. I'm still looking for some fixes that won't involve that but it looks like I either need to reset or at least get back to stock firmware in some way.

 

[entropy13]

Well, looks like resetting it fixes the problem. Now I'll just need to restore my apps...

 

[JrRacinFan]

Totally odd, entropy. You ever get foxhound running?

 

[entropy13]

lol problem reappears after I restored the backup (apps, messages, accounts).

 

[JrRacinFan]

Restore apps only without data. Go back into recovery and do a factory reset/data wipe.

 

[entropy13]

I'm using CWM Manager for resets and backups, and when I restore the backup I can't restore only the apps as it's under "data".

Greetings,
Whats going on over here?
just upgraded my iphone 3GS to a shiny android
It seems i have quite some catching up/reading to do
this thread is large.
I really like my new phone.

 

[Ahhzz]

So, a quick question. What if I wanted to dual boot? Say, I want to play with Cyanogenmod, make some changes, but I'm having some problems, so I need to go back to stock (because I need to use the phone), but want to come back to Cyan later and continue to tweak. Is there an easy way to do that?

2 options if you currently have the apps installed;
Option 1;
Setup ADB and do "adb pull data/app/ Apps/"

What that will do is pull just the APK manually to your PC that you can use in conjunction with a few mass installers.

Here's a good one:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=970348 EDIT: Ixnay on Option 1 see option 3 if you have ADB, crashes for me while doing a restore

Option 2;
Running MyBackup Root. https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.rerware.android.MyBackupRoot&hl=en

Download& install. Do a backup of apps, selecting all. Factory wipe. Reboot & Setup accounts. Let Play Store update. Then download MyBackup root again, it will ask APK/DATA or APK+Data, choose APK only.

Option 3;
Do an ADB pull like above
Then use ES File Explorer or Astro to sideload apps after transferring the apk's to your sd card.

Option4;

Currently playing around with this app

@Ahhzz

Check to see if you device is compatible

@craigo

Ask away. I will try and answer any questions you may have.

 

[entropy13]

Tried doing option 1, I have the Android Package Installer. Now what do I do, exactly?

Do option 4 with all your apps installed. Do a backup, you can backup to any directory on your pc that you wish. Data or no data does not matter.

After you factory reset and setup all your accounts & iomport contacts go back into the app and run this

Same options as pictured.


This is going to end up being a cleaner method. What's really cool with this app, You can choose which app you want to restore and a not an "all or nothing" scenario.

how many apps do you guys have? I thought I had a lot but I'd rather download new versions from the market whenever i reinstall. it doesn't take long imo.

is there another reason it's necessary? bad internet, specific settings, etc? or non market apps?

When you update it also overwrites the APK. So reinstalling apps via Play store would be the same as this. Also saves time and precious data (if on a capped plan). Also I have ~ 400MB of apps installed on the 2GB internal of my Rez. Noticed it takes half the time to go through them all and install from SD card. Will start using the Windows app though as coming acrossed USB is 3x faster.
