I just flash to the KaguDroid 1.2.1 Hero Rom, so far is very good. I have a question that i was not able to get it fixed. I do not have data plan, so i will only connect to the Internet using wi-fi. However, the default on the KaguDroid 1.2.1 automatically connect to Internet using Media Net if Wifi is not available. I tried to turn it off, but no lock. There is no such setting under wireless setting. Can someone have more experience show me how to turn that off. I do not want my bill to go up. thanks
wow, no one knows the solution? otherwise, i might have to restore back to my previous ROM.
So you are complaining that you dont get an answer three hours after posting in the wrong section? That is a new level of boldness..
wrong session? isn't it the android development session? if i did post in the wrong session, please let me know where i should post intead. thanks

personally, I would have posted it in the thread where you downloaded the ROM from....
in answer to your first question, search the market for APNdroid, and enable that. It will change the APN settings, so you will not connect to the data network, so no extra charges.
It will not affect browsing by wifi.

APNDroid is the best way to go.
Also slightly off topic, why no data package?
I thought you pretty much had to have one to get this phone from most carriers. Bit foolish to be buying any smartphone without a data package

Hey guys. So a few weeks back I went from KG3 to KG6. Packet data was working fine on KG3(2.3.3) but when I would go to KG6(2.3.4) the packet data would not work. I did some searching on the internet and found a person that has the same problem, and luckily, also a solution. A little bit ago I had to factory reset my phone due to a boot loop error after flashing an update for a custom rom (Exynos Extreme 4.2). I am back on 3.5 base version, but my packet data will not work, and unfortunately I cannot find that thread that had the correct APN settings to allow my phone to work on KG6. If anybody knows anything about this or that thread I would greatly appreciate it. Oh, and I'm on AT&T HSPA+. Thanks.
Hi MColletti12!
Before you do anything it's always a good idea to back up your APN settings just in case something like this happens!
Hope you find the right APN settings.

It's quite clear now that something in the new update has disabled much of our precious tethering features, I have tried all of the different guides and tutorials I've found on the net with no success. Does anyone have any ideas?

#1 You're going to get bashed for posting in dev forum.
#2 Check out the lastest ROMs : Alien, AURA, etc. do everything except wipe your butt.
I apologize, I was much too vague in my original post. Allow to explain:
Pretty much every ROM out there enables tethering, however, AT&T has some sort of verification system when one uses the lapdock. This system is completely independent of the regular tethering hacks. I posted in the dev form in the hopes of inciting people to try and figure out what exactly has change. This is my current theory:
When the phone is placed into the lapdock cradle a request is sent to AT&T's servers to see if the account has a tethering plan or not. I also tried tethering to my laptop at the same time as putting the phone in the dock. Tethering worked just fine until my phone was placed into the dock, where it proceeded to give the error of "Lost 3g connection". Disabling entitlement check bypasses this for regular tethering, but not the dock. So then the these are my best guesses on how to fix the situation:
If we simply blocked the IP that this check is going through, would it bypass it?
Is there anyway to simply remove the check?

I am running Alien #4 ROM and this is working; this has also worked perfectly for me on Froyo stock as well.
1. Plug phone into lapdock
2. Click okay on error message saying you have to be on wifi
3. Turn on mobile hotspot (entitlement check disabling will allow this)
4. Open browser and find that you now have internet
5. Disable mobile hotspot (if you want)
6. Continue surfing on browser
7. ???
8. Profit!

First of all, you are asking a question in the Dev forum which is a no-no, regardless of what the question is about. Just try to remember that for next time.
Second, there is a thread for this already here:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1160452
Take a look in there and see if any of their solutions can help you out or you could have at least asked your question there.
(It is also frustrating that this thread I just linked you to is on the first page of this forum so it would have taken no effort at all to find, just saying)
Excuse if I seem rude, I still haven't had my coffee...

An infraction was given to the OP to remind them to not create question threads in the developer forums. Hopefully this will prevent them and others from doing so in the future.
I am a newbee, and this forum has been very helpful in explaining how to root and install custom roms.
I installed SHOstock1.7 and having trouble with GPS. Anyone else noticed this issue.
Cant post this to development forum, coz of development forum rules.
You shouldn't post this as a standalone thread but you SHOULD post this in his ROM thread.
I used my phone as my GPS running that ROM all the way from AL to VA. That was Dec 21 & back on the 28th. Not sure what version of SHOstock I was using at the time but it worked just fine then. I'm still on it now but updated to 1.8.
Just tested again, no problems. What is your issue?

Difficult to post in a thread you don't have permissions to. You HAVE to have 10 or so posts in order to reply in development forums which OP states.
Relating to the thread,
I've not had any issues with my GPS with SHOstock. I recommend downloading "GPS Status & Toolbox" and clearing your GPS data then giving it a try.

@tewan, a few quick questions about how to use the "GPS Status & Toolbox".
1. On the SGS2, do we need to turn on GPS?
2. On the SGS2, do we need to turn on AT&T mobile network?
Thanks

Not quite sure I understand fully. Unless you're planning to use wifi positioning, you'll need to turn on the GPS. You're able to leave your AT&T connection disabled but you'll need to synchronize the time some how. (That's why the Galaxy note GPS doesn't work without a wifi connection.)
If you're wondering if you need the AT&T connection and GPS on whenever you reset and download your A-GPS data, you shouldn't.
I have a rooted Evo 3D running ICS 4.0.3 with Sense. Blah blah blah.
Anyway, I depend on Wifi a lot cause I dont use data. Its absolutely no problem when Im at home.
But when I go to school, the Wifi is almost useless. But its weird, because I can get on the Play Store, and download apps, but that's it. How much sense does that make? Sometimes I'll receive Google Voice messages, or email alerts, but I cant send a Google Voice message, browse the internet, open an email, or play those games I downloaded with friends. I have no idea what this could be.
Before the Evo 3D, I had the OG Droid, which did everything just fine. Which makes me wonder even more why this happens.
Anyway, Thanks in advance!
Which rom are you running? Have you tried to flash another kernel? Have you tried another rom? Are you sure that your schools Internet is not safe guarded or blocking what they would refer to as warez sites?
( Don't ask me for help as I couldn't care if your phone explodes, eh! )

Im running the stock ICS Sense rom from the OTA update (4.0.3). And I know that my school's wifi doesnt have these things restricted because on my previous phone (OG Droid), everything worked fine. I could browse the web, send GV messages and everything.
Not sure if this helps, but Im rooted with S-Off on HBoot 1.58.

Sorry, forgot to mention... No, I cant flash roms because I havent figured out how to downgrade my HBoot yet (1.58). But Im hoping once I figure that out and flash a new rom/kernal, that will do the trick.

I've tried about 2 or 3 actually. I kept getting bootloops. I did a lot of research and a lot of threads talked about how you cant flash AOSP and some other type of roms on 1.58. But I just flashed ViperRom after downgrading to 1.4. So I'll let you know if I still have the problem after school tomorrow.

Maybe the problem is with School IT and data throughput. Maybe they put limit there, so you cannot communicate while you are on exam or using time on "chatting with friends" during classes ..

Well then why did it work perfectly with my previous phone? It cant be a coincidence that they updated their internet security the same weekend I got this EVO.
Still having the same issues with the viperROM. It works for minute once I walk in the door, then just stops. Im still able to download from the Playstore and get notifications, but nothing else. Cant even do a Google search.

OK. So you've tried different ROMs and get the same behavior. And I'm assuming Wifi works correctly everywhere else or you would have mentioned it. So, I'm leaning toward something with the school wifi. I know that my work wifi only lets students out through port 80; nothing else.
Having said that, I do find it odd that basic web surfing and Google searching doesn't work while the other stuff does. You'd think it would be the other way around.

Im seriously stumped. It doesnt make sense to me. Im able to download all the apps I want, and get notifications, but nothing else. So I dont think its the port, because Im obviously getting some sort of internet connection. I've done endless amounts of Google searches and cant find anyone who has had this problem. I know there a web filter, but it only blocks certain inappropriate sites.
But what puzzles me even more, is how my previous phone did everything just fine. So I dont think its the WiFi.
Im probably being a bit repetitive, but my mind is just blown. It literally makes zero sense to me.
Try this.
NVM. Since your problem is WiFi related this probably won't help.
It sounds like your school uses some kind of proxy for security purposes.

You may need to set a proxy when you make the wifi connection to your school's network. Those settings are available by checking "Show advanced options" right below "Show password" when you first connect to the access point, or by long pressing the SSID of the network while connected and selecting "Modify network". Some people have also reported solving Internet connectivity via wifi issues by clearing the proxy settings if they were somehow set by accident.
You will probably need to check with your school's network administrator to confirm that and get the proper settings. I'm not sure why the OG Droid didn't require similar settings but it might have been able to pick up the proxy automatically like Internet Explorer does on a PC.
BTW, unless you checked the option in the Play Store app settings to download via wifi only, you may be getting your apps and notifications via Sprint's cellular network without being connected to the Internet via wifi at all.

I make sure that the Mobile Network option stays off. I know for a fact its via WiFi. And I did some research to find that this should be easily fixed. But having the crappiest luck sometimes, the viperROM I'm running managed to hide the RSTP/HTTP Proxy settings (Not sure how or why) making them inaccessible. Even worse, I cleared all my backups on my SD card to get those 2 gigs of storage back, so I cant restore to my stock ICS ROM from the OTA update while mainting root and S-OFF. At least not that I know of.
Sorry if I seem like kind of a noob, I got this phone used like 2 weeks ago. I still have a little to learn about it.

To be 100% sure that only wifi is active you can put the phone in airplane mode, then turn wifi on after that takes effect. I know that works because I do it all the time myself. I'm pretty sure the RTSP/HTTP proxy settings only affect the data connections through the Sprint network and not wifi.
You can flash the RUU.exe to return to stock without losing S-OFF, then flash a custom hboot and recovery and root the stock ROM. I outlined this process for someone else that was S-OFF in this post, which is part of my guide for rooting and getting S-OFF.
Edit: According to this thread, RTSP/HTTP proxy settings can affect ALL traffic. I'm still not 100% sure that they apply to wifi.

Hey All,
I'm S-On and on the latest stock firmware, and some rendition of the latest OTA (I got there from the Global Leak OTA and fastboot flashing the zipfile, OTA-Global-Stock-4.05.605.14 710RD-Rooted, I found in one of the development forums here on xda-developers).
My question relates to this scenario: I arrive home, turn on my wifi and check that I've set the wifi advanced setting to leave wifi enabled "Only when plugged in". Then, I connect to my access point. When I immediately relook at the wifi advanced settings, I see that it's been switched to "Always," without my requesting that that happen. I don't know that I recall this ever happening before, and now it's completely repeatable.
I'd like to have my setting stay on leave on only if connected. Can anyone offer up a way to overcome it getting changed to always?
Thanks!
cheers,
john

My guess is you have an app that has permission to activate WiFi, or something is corrupt... Try Permission Explorer and look for apps that have WiFi control (I don't remember how the actual permission is worded), if you can't find anything then I think a factory default is in order and try it before restoring any apps.

Do it a few times and a factory reset is easy... I switch ROMs in my Rezzy so much I don't even hesitate anymore. It is a basic troubleshooting tool and done correctly you won't lose anything.
