Wifi Tethering in JB - Galaxy Ace S5830i Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Hey there...
I used to set up a wifi Hotspot with my Ace 2 to go online with my Nexus 7. However, I updated my Ace 2 to jelly bean (and rooted it) and now i can't get tethering to work again. I can not find the right settings in the system preferences and although I can see the "AndroidAP" in the nexus, it will not connect, stating a "authentification Problem"...but i did not even set up a password vor anything plus the Ace 2 was reset to factory before updating to JB...
Does anyone know what could be the problem?
Thanks so much!

Got it, just needed to define a longer password, apparently now there are 8 characters required.

This process Fast-Dormancy-wakeup is constantly keeping my phone awake, is it safe to remove it? What is it used for?
Thanks in advance.

Its pretty useless but if you are not comfortable deleting it tahb simply go to system-apps and go to fast dormancy.apk and rename it to. apk.bak
U can use this method ddor whichever apps you don't want.... Just add .bak behind them and they will be frozen..

I doubt that. Deleted it yesterday and my camerabutton still starts the camera with screen off for about 30 mins, takes a picture and the message 'quick launch mode' appears.

It just controls fast dormancy. If you wanna know what fast dormancy is then just Google it.

[Q] Why wifi is turning off when screen turns off?

Hi,
I am using a samsung galaxy s2 I9100 phone and recently updated to Jelly Bean 4.1.2 XXLS8. My problem is that when I turn my screen off or it turns off automatically, the wifi network is off. Wifi duing sleep is turned to always on in settings but doesnt seem like working. If im chatting and until someone replies the screen turns off, I wnt receive any notifications until I turn it on to check manually. Same applies for email. When i turn the screen on, it will show wifi now connected. This was not a problem on ICS as even though the screen was off, I would receive notifications and email as it is sent.
So can u please suggest a solution and also I dont want to go back to ICS
Thanks

Thx for your reply but as i said i dnt want to downgrade from Jelly Bean as i waited long to have it and it works well. The only prob being that wifi issue. I fink this problem should be solved instead. Anyone having the same issue?

Try to use a nuke script on the device and reflash JB.
Don't forget to backup everything.
Sent from my digital submersible hovercraft.
Whats a nuke script and how to do that? And also do i install the same version of JB again or search for another one as this one has a wifi problem. I downloaded it and installed via Odin.

Are you guys using any battery saving app? Are you using stock Rom or any custom Rom? Please provide these data along with your question. Without these it's difficult to figure out the problem for any expert.

Same problem here with stock rom, no battery saver apps, and battery saving not active in the settings.
Upgraded to JB with Kies, factory reset afterwards.

Your kernel can turn the wi-fi off when the screen is off. I think it's a kernel issue.
No news about this issue? Did anyone try with XWLSN?

Finally I fixed our problem about wifi. I know you will consider me a stupid, because my solution is related to something we decide to exclude from the possible causes of our wifi issue, but... The problem is fixable managing the router settings! I have a b/g/n modem-router... When it works in b/g/n mode the wifi issue appears... If it works only in b/g mode it disappears! I had exactly the same problem with a Sony Ericsson Xperia Ray, and the solution I found for S2 works for it too... I hope this can helps you too.
Let me know if you fixed or not...
Ps: I actually am on the stock XWLSD...

Might be a conflict between your device and the router.

Have you ever been able to connect in the past to the office router with the device?
If you are certain that you are inputting the correct password and are in range of the router, and trying to connect to the correct router, there is one thing you can try that worked for me.
Input the wrong password, and try to connect. It will fail but gets things moving again.
After this input the correct password and it should connect.
Good luck and I hope this helps!

I'm having the same issue. I'm running a stock ROM 4.1.2 (update received 4 days ago) and ever since I'm having this problem. My router is fine, everything else connects to it and I've checked all settings on it.
I've hard reset my phone twice since Friday and tried everything I've found (and understood). Can anyone provide a solution?
This will be the last Samsung I have as they don't seem to give a crap once they have your money.
You're having this issue since JB?
As far as I know this is not a bug, it's about settings.
Sent from the little guy
Yes. Only since the update. All settings have been checked, deleted and re-entered and it still drops out.

A re-flash won't hurt, I find it odd tho.
You can also contact your carrier and ask them about this (you had an ota/kies update right?
Sent from the little guy
It was an ota update from Samsung. I'd contact my carrier, but so far, every time I've called for something it's been an education for them!
Might try re-flashing over the weekend.
