I have a samsung galaxy player 4.2. Everything works except wifi and bluetooth. I could try to fix it, but I can't seem to find where the antenna is located. If any one has any info, please let me know.

If you're using stock ROM's, it's just Menu button -> settings -> wifi or bluetooth.
If you're using 4.x, pull down from the status bar. Click the settings icon in the extreme top right of the screen. Press and hold down "wifi off". A list of available wifi hotspots/routers should appear. Choose yours the normal way. You should also be able to do this:
Menu button -> settings -> hold for two seconds either the wifi or bluetooth buttons to select.

We don't have 4.x ROMs for the 4.2. This appears to be a hardware problem, because I am sure he would have tried switching on the wifi and bluetooth.

The Bluetooth button on the phone screen (during a call) has never worked for me. To turn on bluetooth I have to go back to home screen and turn it on from there. Is this only my phone or is this true for others?

I haven't used Bluetooth recently, but as an option you could also put the Bluetooth widget in the strip of notifications power widget, available when you pull the notification bar down. More convenient than on the in-call screen anyway.
Configure what widgets are present and what order they're presented in here -> Settings/CyanogenMod settings/Interface/Notification power widget
From there choose "Widget buttons" to choose what widgets to show, and "Widget button order" to change what order they're shown in.
Hint: If you unchoose all the notification power widgets from the "Widget buttons" menu, and then re-choose only the ones you want and in the order you want them, you won't have to re-order them in the "Widget button order" menu.
Thanks, I actually had the button on the notification screen, just hadn't thought of using it during a call yet. Good idea! I'm still curious why the in-call button doesn't work, but this will make it easy enough to turn on.
Just flashed from GSBv2.2G to GSBv2.5 this morning and haven't tried that bluetooth button on the phone screen yet.
I'm using the notification power widget and it works like a charm. Super fast compared to stock.

You're welcome! Probably just an oversight in the CM7 development.
I'm currently running the latest version of widgetlocker on my nexus s 4g and it works like a dream only problem I'm having is if I'm at my home screen & i press the home button, then immediately the sleep button, then the sleep button again immediately to unlock my phone; widget locker doesn't load and i go directly to my home screen and this message box pops up:
"widgetlocker delayed by android due to recent home button press"
anyone know what could be happening? if i press the home button, press my sleep button, wait a few seconds, then press it again to unlock it works fine...
seems like if i try to unlock my phone too soon after i press the home button i get the error..
UPDATE:
i emailed the app developer about this and i just received the response... i followed his instructions and my problem is fixed.. here is his official response:
Android does not allow a background app to come to the foreground within 5 seconds of the Home button being pressed. If you are rooted you can enable WL Settings > Advanced > Root Helper to bypass this. Otherwise just don't press home, off, on, all within 5 seconds.

That, I believe, is being caused by the Android 5 second rule. If you look in the setting for WidgetLocker there is a way around that, but you will be setting WL to be the homescreen and WL will call forth your launcher. There is also a root method too, if you are rooted.

What is the method of doing it if your phone is not rooted? (i.e. what do I have to press after selecting Settings?

hi,
few days back i rooted my razr xt910 australia optus version.,
now i've noticed that when phone goes to sleep mode the wifi connection drops out and the moment when i press power button and unlock then it will get wifi signal again.. this is so frustrating and annoying can any one have any idea what could be the problem?
i have rooted the fone and i have rom, titaninum backup and root manaager on phone
any help would be appreciated.
When you refer to the phone sleeping, are you referring just hitting the lock/power button, or long pressing and selecting sleep mode? If it's the latter, then it's doing exactly what it's supposed to do.
Go to settings - wireless - wifi settings - press menu key and select "advanced"
There is an item in the menu called "Wifi Sleep Policy" - go there and check if "never" is selected...
thanks heaps guys,,
how come i missed to check that advanced menu settings...
great help

Did something change in the play store? all the sudden the menu button isnt there anymore for me. its just the back button and the search button so i have no way to get the the "My apps" area.
are you running a custom ROM? in some of them the 3dot-menu is disabled.
Try to setup the right button (from the 3 red bottom buttons on your phone), that it toggles the menu. It's somewhere in settings -> Display & gestures (I think)
Unfortunately I can't tell you on which point exactly at settings you can configure this, cause I'm running a custom ROM where this setting is at another position.
Or even try to short or long press that button for showing the menu (in Play store and any other app that has a menu).
Hi all. It may seem a silly question and probably it is but there are apps (in this case Touchdown mail client) that haven't an icon to open the in app settings menu. With my previous phones I used a physical button, usually long press on the back button, to open it. But how to do it with the single button p9000? Thank you.
Very good question, they seem to have forgotten about apps that need a physical key for menu, have you tried enabling the softkeys to see if the menu button appears on them for you? Can the "Smart Button" not be setup to be the menu key? or is it only to open apps? I not played with it myself..
Still searching how to have the MENU inside applications, softkeys does not work !
I would ask the software maker! The phone maker won't add more physical buttons.
And multiple press are always software driven!
Even if the phone maker did, that won't help you out with the old hardware...
Doesn't seem to be an answer anywhere online so here goes:
Go to settings > Navigation bar > Turn On.
Go to app you need a menu on > swipe up from bottom to bring up the Nav bar.
Three dots appear on the end of the nav bar. Done.
If the three dots don't appear; click on the recent tasks button and then go back into the app and they should come up.
Tried and tested with EZ Drop.
- Doesn't seem to work with apps with the built in "three dots" menu.
I use ‘Menu Button (No root)’ by JetToast free on the Play store, to get round this problem.
