Hi Devs and Noobs,
I had gone through various posts on the same title. But looks like my problem is different from theirs.
I had recently purchased my SGH -I777. With stock ROM, I faced a mystic behavior.
I had set the password. Then I had locked the device. I hit the power button to unlock. But now, I am not typing the password. And wait for the screen to go off. Then I again hit the power button. And now the device allows me to login without the need of a password. I guess this should be a security bug (or) I had screwed some settings somewhere.
I had tried using Pattern, PIN and password. But the results are the same.
I had flashed with Serendepity ROM. And Still the issue was there. Still stuck with the same bug.
Please let me know if anybody else faced the same problem or not. And how you had corrected that..
That's a known issue with the AT&T version. I'm running unnamed 2.1.1 without a problem. The changelog lists it as fixed since the 1.3.1 release.

Actually I am running unamed 2.1.1 but I did notice the same issue. I had a pattern lock and, sometimes, I get non-lock lock screen, which you can just move the screen to unlock.
EDIT: My bad. This is a feature.
Is your lockscreen timer set on instant?

@B3envied :
Settings -> Display -> Screentimeout
Is this the option you were talking? This has been set to 15 Sec. And There was one more option Touchkey Light Duration which is set to 6 Sec.
@All:
I guess with this I need to live with, FOR NOW. I will try to use some other lock screen apps or by some means to overcome this. I will post if I find one.
Thanks for the replies mates... Cheers
This is so well documented that it's one of the only times AT&T has actually issued a press release on a bug!

News FLASH...
The new OTA from AT&T fixes this issue and a few others... STOCK ROM equals Gingerbread 2.3.4... But if you goto phone settings software update and download install the new version, Gingerbread 2.3.6, this issue will then go the way of the dinosaurs!

If I update my android version t0 2.3.6, will I be still able to use the USB jig to reset the flash counter?
Hi Devs,

Lock Screen and Security Page
I am a regular visitor to this forum, and for the first time I have registered and in need of help. I am having an issue with the Samsung i727 just bought used on the internet.
It has kernel: 3.08
Baseband: I727UCLF6
Android Version: 4.0.4
Build Number IMM76D.UCLF6
My problem is that each time I touch the power/lock button, it does not take me to the home screen. It takes me to the Security Page. This also happens if I am surfing the web, sending or reading a message, even on a phone call! Everything else is working normally.
It is so annoying, can anyone help?
NIce phone. Fly away rocket!
sucks, all that work registering, and posting, just to end up on the wall.

Rofl. So much win.
Now, before anyone confuses this with AT&T Smart Wifi on the market, I'm not asking for that (that app is garbage in my opinion.)
Now, to the task at hand...
Stock Samsung ROMs have something called AT&T Hotspot Manager embedded into the Wifi settings, which allow the automatic sign in of AT&T hotspots around the country without opening a browser to sign into the network.
I'm using CM9 nightlies at the moment, and upon installing the hotspot manager is not packaged with the nightlies. Not an issue regarding CM9, but I was wondering is there a download package or zip that I can install via CWM or any other method to regain this automatic sign in capability? I'm at a Starbucks and Barnes and Noble a lot, and found this aspect of the phone to be very useful.
Appreciate the timely replies
I'm curious about this too, I've settled in to AOKP after jumping around on ICS roms for a month or so and I just realized I'm not getting my hotspots anymore
I'll sniff around and edit this if I find anything useful, I'm not sure what exactly the hotspot manager was and why we wouldn't be able to just enter the settings for the hotspot into a standard wifi connection
Edit: So el goog wasn't very helpful, all I was able to find was a few similar posts to this one with no remedy. I went to my Titanium Backup and searched through my backed up apps knowing that the manager had to be in there somewhere because I'd used some of the ROM's based off of the stock i777 and found something called "At&t Hot Spots." I restored it to my current ROM and I'll test it at Mickey D's at lunch.
Don't. It's a terrible app.
Looking over your shoulder...
Well restoring the app seems to have had no effect, it still requires me to log in to the wifi. I'm not sure why everyone says it was a terrible app, before I rooted my battery life was just fine with it running, even if I neglected to turn off wifi

I'll agree that most of their software is absolutely worthless trash, but this one in particular I really thought was handy... All it did was automatically log into AT&T hotspots when you were in range

First off, I do agree. But what this thread is concerning is that it's not an app. Rather, it was an embedded feature in the stock ROM of this phone, checked off in the wi-fi settings.
Since it's not an app, one cannot readily download it off the market. So it must be a package. From the results of this thread though, I guess a package like this doesn't exist..?
Here's the file: AT&T Hotspots 0.955
This is extracted from a UCKH1 stock ROM. Hopefully it works for you.

Thanks, unfortunately this is the same one I have in my TB from the stock rom and it doesn't seem to have any effect on ics (I did convert it to a system app). I think I'll try installing the "leaked" ics stock rom and try taking it from there to see if its a newer version.

That makes about as much sense as having to type in your WEP password each time you log into your home network. Net battery life would be about equal to not having the app, as it takes screen on time (BIGGER battery suck) to go though all the steps necessary to login without this app.

I had the earlier version installed through my Titanium backups. I installed the one posted on this thread and I saw that the app was upgraded. (Additionally, the at&t hotspots icon vanished from the app drawer, I could see that it was running though).
However, it doesn't seem to connect automagically to attwifi. Any clues?

I flashed SpeedROM 4.0 and now I am unable to send mms messages (redundant) while I'm connected to my WiFi. I searched all over that thread to find a fix and all I came up with was to install Android 4 ICS Messaging SMS over the Play Store. tried it. it came up with an error "Duplicate Provider Authority" Any help?
I also found out that there's no notification of messages on the lock screen nor does it chime/vibrate/notify when you receive a message from an unknown number

It's a general problem with the amaze on ICS, it's widespread, so don't expect a fix anytime soon.
It never happened on the stock ics with sense 3.6. If I knew how to do all of this stuff I would help. My best guess is that the answer is in the stock ics ROM. I have my stock backup if anyone needs it for study

You do realise I'm on stock ICS right? If you read the wifi thread that's in this very sub forum, you'd see it's not just me that has the issue, many members here as well, go over to tmo's forum and check the ICS bug list thread, you'll see a damn long list of others there as well.

my guess is on the kernel needing to be flashed/reflashed for the mms/wifi thing. as to the other issues, no clue. have you tried running stock ics yet?
Yeah I had stock ics for a while before I switched. I don't know how to flash the kernal though. Honestly if I knew how, I'd just put stock ics mms.apk in the.zip but I tried that already and it canceled the install. Don't know how to do that either

"Duplicate Provider Authority" means that you are trying to install something that the phone already has system flags dedicated for(this explanation could be a little better).. Speedrom already has the MMS app, use a root tool, titanium backup - something to remove mms.apk from the system/app folder, then you will be able to install the one in the market -- not that that is a sure fire fix.. but one thing at a time. Try that, that is the only reason you couldn't install.
I'm about to root for the first time and I've always done a backup of my stock out-of-the-box ROM before flashing anything so I don't have to rummage through threads later looking for the stock ROM for my phone to unroot to.
Coming from the Android phones I've had, Titanium was what I always used to do a full backup. Is there somewhere though, just to be safe, that has the exact ROM for my SFR GS3 I9300?

Ok great. All I really want to know for sure is that when I do test any ROM for this phone I already have a complete copy of it sitting somewhere in case I ever need to sell it or return it.
Going to try some Vanilla JB (Foxhound or something). I wish there was a JB ROM that had Samsung apps but no Touchwiz. Doesn't exist apparently.

Well, all the homescreens are pretty similar in terms of app layout, etc. But also with Touchwiz I'm not crazy about the app deck, the menu system, the Samsung camera, the notifications bar, etc. Why?

Well, that makes sense.
Yeah, what I meant before was that pretty much every ROM looks the same when you're flipping through home screens. It's in the menu system that you really see differences and I just don't like the big blocky, slightly iOS-ish look of the menus within apps and contacts, etc.
But I would love a ROM that keeps all the motion features. And wifi tethering is a must.
Just spent a whole lot of time looking at several ROMs in original and regular Android dev forums. Is there not a single JB Vanilla that has WiFi tethering and has the motion functions? All of them seem to say tethering is not possible.
What a shame. I haven't read every last ROM but I've pretty much seen them all.
Wifi/bluetooth tethering doesn't work on aosp/cm roms but last time i used this with my sammy secondary rom to connect my tablet to the net it worked.
And if you quit the official sammy world don't care about csc its only utility is to drive samsung OTA update (mine is 'unknown' ).
Ohhhh, I see. What a shame.
So my only choice is to find a secondary Samsung ROM? I was hoping for a more Vanilla JB feel throughout the phone and also for a different camera. But I do need to be able to connect my tablet. Plus, SFR gives me an app to tether with that works quite well. Only problem is that righ now my Galaxy tab 7 with an ICS ROM isnt connecting to any local WiFi here in Paris anyway for some reason.
Well, thanks.
I've been using UltimaRom for some time now and love it! But recently updated my Galaxy S3 to the latest version only to find mobile data not working.
I tried flashing previous versions, doing full wipes as i went but still couldn't get it back.
I've ended up using odin to flash stock back on and data is working again.
I tried going straight to to the latest UltimaRom but the same problem has occured.
Any suggestions?
Hello,
I'm using the same rom, but I don't have that problem, however I do have a suggestion.
On your current rom, got to:
System settings - More settings - Mobile networks - Acces Point Names, and click on the one that's there.
Inside that there should be one called "apn".
Write that down somewhere, and when you flash Ultimarom again, go into the same place and paste the info. (it should look something like this: www.Internet.mtelia.dk or: websp, it depends on your carrier)
It sounds like the new version somehow doesn't have the correct apn setting and so you will have to set it up manually.
Hope this helps.

is it just the field named apn i need? just checked and there's a bunch of information in there.
Depending on your carrier you can log in to their site and get the settings texted to your phone, and install it from there.
I'm with T-Mo and I did it that way to save writing things down. Just choose the settings for internet and MMS.

As far as I know all you need is the apn field.
Very few carriers use different values than the default as far as I know.
Worst case is that you have to check on the website of your carrier to see the full apn, but I think it should be fine.
