HI Just putting this here hoping to get a forum started. I have 2 of these. Both seem to be working fine. I have ATT and I did enable the hotspot but it doesn't have internet, I don't have a tethering plan. I just assumed they locked out the function to turn hotspots on or off when you don't have a plan.
Help

Hi all thanks for your help,
Australian user here on virgin.
Basically when I first got the handset I flashed and used villain rom... everything worked fine for a week or two.
Then the wifi just stopped working.. it wouldn't turn on. I would enable it.. it would scan.. scan wouldn't work and the icon would turn off.
and I can't wifi hotspot my 3g connection it just says error.
The problem seemingly went away at random :S:S:S and now has arisen again.
I've tried using batista rom and that didn't help.
Tried searching couldn't find any solutions ((
ok i happen to have this issue last month and i spent 2 damn days to check everything.. but end up it's hardware problem.. you turn on your wifi it will scan a while but then shut off by itself right? if that so i really confirm you need to send back to retail shop.. before that you need to do a nandroid backup and flash back to original rom ( unroot )
trust me man it's the motherboard problem.. check this link for how to unroot..

p.s. you need to buy a usb jig to clear the binary.
hope this help
Hi, I apologise if I posted this in the wrong section I wern't sure,
My Galaxy S Wifi 5.0 keeps freezing on start-up, It was working fine until I installed a app called, Go Launcher, once it installed, it was working fine until my device restarted after that, it just freezes after like 1 minute as soon as it comes on, I barely have enough time to put in the start code to unlock the device..
I can't remember what firmware it has, It was a custom one I think of this forum, all I know after I put it on it put a picture of a black tree on the main screen, not sure if that helps sorry..
It is rooted too.
I'm looking for some advice on what I can do to fix this.. I don't want to completly format I have some pictures I kind of don't want to lose.
Any help will be much appreciated.
Thank you in advance.
Try uninstalling it via the Google Play store, and then download another Launcher.

Thanks for replying, but I just fixed it, I managed to get into recovery mode and do a wipe data from there, it didn't delete none of my pictures but everything else and fixed my problem.
Hi All
I just installed a custom ROM from xda. The rom itself is completely good, smooth, and fast. The only problem that I have is probably regarding the mobile network. When I want to download an apps from google play, it took soo long. For example, it took 45 mins to download a whatsapp.
When I tried to browse, the page open very quick. So i thought, hmm maybe google play have some problem. I tried to download my trading software from my broker website, but it turn out I cant download at all. It will go quick for the first 10 seconds, and the download cant be completed.
By the way, I use ultima rom. Anybody have ever encounter this problem before? Did i make a mistake when I tried to install the rom? Did I installed the wrong modem or kernell? Or maybe my mobile network is suck currently?
Thank you very much for your help,
Regards.

You have to install the Google Apps as a separate install when dealing with most non stock roms. Surely the guide you were looking at mentioned that...? Weird that you are having issues with Sms as it's rare roms have that trouble. Which messaging app are you using? Your contacts aren't there because you wiped your phone, installed a new operating system, and didn't install the Google apps to resync your account. I'm confused on why you're surprised by that... Kies doesn't work on non stock roms and is a much inferior tool vs Odin. Also, didn't you do a nandroid backup before installing Slim? If so, you could just restore that and you would be back to the previous version in like 10 minutes. If you didn't...well, you weren't looking at the right guides then. I think Slim is 10x better than stock, personally but depending on the phone and version, there can be some minor issues.
I think that Whatsapp doesn't recognize your phone because of the custom DPI. If you set that to stock value, it should work.

Hi,
so i found this phone when i was on holiday (someone left/forgot it on the beach), so after a while i replaced it with my old phone, since it is working pretty good. But i have a problem... i can't seem to connect to mobile network, i can call and send sms normally. It's weird because it doesn't say anything, it looks like everything is working normal. And i had the same problem on my sgs1, but after i rooted it and installed a custom rom mobile network started working.
Now i need help. Can someone help me fix this problem or tell me how to root this phone, because i tried a few different root programs but none seem to work and i'm really frustrated.
Thanks

Can you enable usb debugging and try to boot into your bootloader and see if fastboot works in any kind of way. If you get fastboot working, you'll eventually get root.
