Sleep of death (S.O.D) - Galaxy Ace S5830 General

For all of you guys getting this.
Make a habit of turning off you wifi when not range of a access point .
Getting out of home/office etc
Just off your wifi and you won't get it anymore..

that's not a solution.. this is THE SOLUTION! thank the man

This is a development subforum mind you. And it's a widely discussed issue, that's a general workaround.
Be sure to post in the right section next time!

Some questions about the TB.

How do you all like it, Ill be getting it by the end of next week. I have read threads about problems happening etc, on here and AF. Is it worth it?
Next question. I am going to London in May and will not be able to use verizons network for at least a month(no I am not getting a "global"). Anyway, I was wondering if during that time I could use Wifi(the facilities we are staying at have wifi. Would it be wise to take the TB to London with me and use it? Is it possible to use Wifi only?
Thanks guys!

Overall I am happy with mine however I will caveat that with the fact that it is launch day. Give it a few days and see what people find. We expect an OTA soon according to some posters which should resolve some issues.
What is out there is annoying but nothing horrid.
Yes you can do wifi only with your phone. It will work just fine... just no calling.
Oh ok, sweet. Well the thing was, hopefully Skype video chat will be out by May, so that'll solve my problem, if its possible to use it through wifi...

[Q]How to make the device to consider 3G as Wifi

Hi
Some networks in the UK are offering "eat data" plan in otherwords there is no "fair usage policy". I have taken up this plan. To upload videos to YouTube it only works on wifi. Is there a way to make the device to recognise 3G as wifi so that the uploads can be done even on 3g data.
Thanks in advance.
as far as I'm aware, you can't trick your phone into believing 3G is WiFi unless you put your SIM into another android phone and then used the wireless tethering function to upload the video off the first phone...if that makes sense

Hi thanks for the suggestion. It should work if the other phone can tether. When I was using iPhone I used an application "3G Unrestrictor" which trick the phone to treat 3G as wifi. If someone can make a tiny app for SGS II (for android in general) it will help our community....

+1 to that, it'd be a great little app, there might already be one I've just never heard of it. If not tethering with your SIM in a second device/Mi-Fi router is the only way I'm afraid...

FirstUA 1.2
Sent from my GT-S5830 using XDA App
just flashed to UA v1.2.. but still the same.. enabled the setting as well.. sigh... anything that u have done to ur ace?
It also depends on the availability of wireless networks in your area. Try enabling your wifi as well. Google has a database of WiFi AP MAC addresses and the corresponding location. Kinda awesome, kinda freaky. Here in South Africa the list isn't too spot on, but it will atleast get you into the correct suburb (must say, I have only tested this in a very small town). Worth a try

I can't think of anything else. I have very good 3G coverage and 500MB data plan. Maybe there is a problem with your network coverage, but that's strange because what ever the coverage quality is phone just needs a couple of KBs for a fix.
Maybe this will help!
You can look at this thread...
Please press thanks if it was helpfull!
i hate gps on android ,it takes long time and it needs network data .I used gps on nokia and its a piece of cake .

First of all, Android is an operating system and Nokia is a brand. Second, On Android you can set the phone not to use network data for GPS which will greatly increase the time needed for GPS fix. Nokia works exactly the same way, if A-GPS is turned on you get a quick fix, if it's off you don't. My Ace works perfectly and gets a quick fix. Oh, and I almost forgot, Nokia is crap. .I.
first of all.. .thx for the reply so much...
fyi, i didnt turn on network data for gps, i am only using gps alone to get my position, although it do get locked after few minutes... but the tftt is too long..
my frd using nokia 5800, he was able to get lock within 10secs w/o network..
thats the reason i am wondering how can i get faster lock..
may i ask how can i turn on the A-gps? i update it quite frequently using gps status..
is that means i have ady turn it on?
thx!

New Prime Owner ... what to do first?

I just bought the prime and I'm searching for what's wrong before I get to comfortable. GPS don't work and I'm OK with that but what else and how else should I check for defects?

You can check for light bleed by downloading the free light bleed test app to test the quality of your screen. Other than that check for consistent download speed over wifi using the speed test app in conjunction with the wifi analyzer app....
Use device as you normally would. Of something occurs to change normal use experience then you'd know. Alot of times people looking for trouble will always find it
Test your wifi speed from anywhere you may use the device. For example, i get great download speeds from the living room where my router is. Upstairs however, i get speeds that nearly make the device unuseable.

Yeah you're right if I look for trouble I'll probably find it guess I'll just check the basic for bleu tooth and WiFi issues

WiFi is great range is acceptable and blue tooth headset lags..... but both holds a connection simultaneously. There is slight light bleeding but if I never knew what it was I would actually think is pretty cool and part of the design because I only see it on start up
Check for dead pixels, then check for white pixels (use a white screen), then check for Stuck and hot pixels. Then check for light bleeds on a black screen. Then do your updates. Then download wifi analyzer and stand next to your router and use wifi anayzer while taking steps away from your router and see how fast it drops or how far you get with reception. Bluetooth with wifi on tests.Then install apps, test your browsers, youtube, try the game demos,etc... If your prime is still working good, your looking to be in good shape... so far..

I also find the entire premise of actively looking for issues silly. Use the device heavily as you will during ownership to ensure it does everything you expect it to, then of something isn't right go digging into the technical aspects of said issue and see if you find anything. Just having the expectations of issues and hunting specifically for them makes you bias in your own experiments where you may just conjure something up that is for all real world purposes nothing.

While that may seem silly to you what if I purchased this with the intentions of using a certain feature on a random day. If I didn't know about the GPS not working I could of possibly taken this on a trip expecting it to work which by that time would be too late to do something about so I would like to know now what's working and thats not

stolen TP in Jamaica looking for some help

First day on vacation and our laptop and touchpad was stolen. Was wondering if I can remote install security on it to find it, lock it, use the camera or wipe it. Don't remember exactly which build is on it but it's an April ics nightly.
And yes, I'm an idiot for not having that stuff on before vacation but I'm trusting. Never again.
Have an appointment with head of security in the morning but I doubt anything will get resolved.
Please list options. If any. Thank you.
not sure what apps you could install but if it's on and has a network connection you could always push apps from the Android market to the device
https://play.google.com/store
not much help I know but it's at least a start....
You could try installing this:
https://play.google.com/store/apps/...GwsMSwxLDMsImNvbS5sb29rb3V0LmxhYnMucGxhbmIiXQ..
Its a find my phone/tablet solution that is intended to be installed after you lose the tablet. Since the Touchpad is wifi only, I wouldnt count on it unless you had the wifi set to never sleep, whoever took it never turned it off or rebooted to webOS, and it happened to be near wifi. But you never know, might get lucky.

If the thief is very dumb (he probably is), he may have a chance. Hopefully his battery didn't die.

Correct, right out of our room. We were here about 4 hours.
Plan B works on GPS. Or did I read it wrong? Sorry, been limited time online as our phone chargers were stolen with the laptop bag and have only been able to get a little charge here and there from a friendly random person trying to help out. our phones haven't been being full charges.
Is there something out there that I can download when it connects to wifi again that would lock it up?
Wow, I am with you...I had a tp "stolen" recently as well in the great old usa. Placed an ad on craigslist. Sold it really fast. However, whe I got to the bank to deposit the $250, I was informed all of the 20's were counterfeit! I did make a police report and bank report...

There are Aholes everywhere. I'm not trying to single out the country, just point out my situation. We are here until sat night. Just doing what I can before we leave. with limited internet access and help.
Sorry man Its probably getting traded for some weed as we speak
HP Touchpad - CM9
sorry for your loss bro.
it might help to think of it being traded for food for starving kids, or medication for a sick person
i would just keep trying to install plan b every so often.

...Or that CyanogenMod's ninja attack force took it to help in developing CM10.
In any case, I say do what you can but like they said before without GPS it would be hard to track. Remote lock maybe, but I am sure it's being sold or something and they may figure out how to wipe but at least your data is safe.
Good Luck!!
