If I was you and having these problems, the first thing I would do would be to run the RUU and get back to stock. Easiest way to find out if it's the Rom or the phone.

in ur settings to a factory reset

You are on a rooted phone and you are going to return it due to errors that might be a result of the root?
No root and I mean no ROOT is perfect and each phone can act differently. Try to reflash again and clear out all your data/cache and try it again.
Try another ROM just to see.

Yet another user error. This is YOUR fault. Heck they could report your to HTC if they didn't like you.

WoW just wow. You talk to me like I am the biggest noob on the forums.
For your information the root was fine for over 2 weeks and this just started last Friday. I had a launch evo and rooted it the first day it was available. Also I flashed back to stock ruu and had the same problem.
Maybe before you open your mouth and let the **** flow out ask yourself a simple question : Is my comment going to help or just make me look like an ass.
Also I would like to comment on the fact I am pretty good at phone jailbreaking and rooting. I know how to read guides and I have been doing this kind of stuff since the pocket pc's. I have never ran into a much ruder group then the people that posted on this topic. Heck even a rom dev talked to me nicer then you guys did when I asked about a project he hadn't worked on in months.
I have returned my EVO but haven't lost hope in you guys. Just let me know if you guys ever apply at my work so I can avoid you at all costs.
Note: This only applies to the ones that deserve it. Thanks for mentioning the stock RUU Roman G, and for mentioning the factory reset toenail78. I had already tried that but to no avail. Also note I even told the store I rooted the phone and flashed it back to stock and neither worked and they were just as puzzled as I was. I am not your 15 year old teenager, but thanks for treating me like one.

I'm still confused as to why anyone would ever return this phone except for physical damage(screen ripping off). Everything software based can be fixed. And its only been 2 weeks. In another 2 weeks, we'll probably have Gingerbread running on this thing. The devs here are simply just amazing. Hell i got these errors BEFORE i rooted. So I'm guessing it was just the network being raped by a new device. I haven't seen them for awhile now.

You asked people to make assumptions, so thanks for being so offended by it. You come here with an immature ultimatum, "Help me or I'm sending this back!" and give us no other information. Only your signature gives any information about your phone, "rooted." Now you fly off the handle and insult everyone.

Probably because your an apple fanboy and god hates you.

It has nothing to do with being a "noob" or "super cool neeto phone pro". I has to do with the ultimatum of returning a phone that you messed up.
Everything will be ok.

Yeah, I'd like to know where in your original post we could safely assume you knew what you were doing. You gave absolutely NO information, except that you have no patience. This is a developer's forum, which means if you don't give out useful information that people can use to help you, they're going to assume you don't know what you're doing.

I simply asked if anyone knew about these errors. I didn't say fix them.
BTW if I was an Apple fanboy I would have preordered a iPhone 4 instead of the EVO. But sorry your way off on that lol. I am just a gadget person. My iPad and MacBook are for work and school. Heck if I wouldn't be getting so much for my student loan I would of never gotten either, well maybe the iPad because it was a great replacement for the iPhone.
I am going to stick with android, and going to go buy a Nexus One. I am thankful for your guys help, sorry if I offended anyone but it just struck a nerve. This is the reason I don't post on forums often for help. Anyways I will keep an eye on the EVO for future possible purchase. I guess when it came down to it, the screen issue (separation and faulty grounding), the meh battery life (I didn't say it was bad it was just sub par), the 30fps limit (which shows), and the poor service in my area were the downfalls for me with the EVO.
I hope you guys all have better luck then me and enjoy your great phone.

I love that your screen shots show the Evo battery as yellow. Thats the only color my battery ever is...
Im wondering why you didn't just exchange the phone for a new one if you suspected a hardware problem?

The screen separation isn't rampant, and a silly reason to dump the phone if you're not suffering from it.
I have a Nexus One and an EVO 4G. I also have every version of the iPhone from day 1, and should be receiving an iPhone 4 this afternoon if FedEx delivers as promised, so I can speak to each of these with some experience.
I think you'll be EXTREMELY disappointed in the Nexus One if you switch to it after having an EVO 4G. The Nexus One's screen is over-saturated and biased towards too much, I mean TOO MUCH, red. The camera puts a large pink blurred circle into every picture you take. The touch input is very flakey, regardless of ROM you use. It's almost impossible to type accurately on it unless you install Swype or ShapeWriter. It's extremely difficult to see the screen outdoors - I couldn't even get a podcast playing while walking to lunch the other day until I found a big shade tree to stand under. Battery life on the Nexus One is probably the worst of any phone I've ever owned, though that may be a network lack of signal issue (T-Mobile). Speaking of T-Mo, if you get T-Mobile version instead of AT&T you can look forward to lots of missed calls and lots of no 3G coverage areas.
The Nexus One has some great features, including the awesome speaker phone and noise canceling mic, a beautiful hardware design that puts even the legendary styling of iPhones to shame, and it fits great in your hand. And don't forget the fantastic ROMS by Cyanogen and Modaco, but if you're not happy with an EVO 4G I think we'll see you posting over in the Nexus One sections soon enough with some ultimatum about "fix the touchscreen or I'm returning this phone" or some other such issue.
Good luck with whatever phone you pick, because with Android phones, there's ALWAYS some glitch or flaw with the phone that will annoy you, and there's ALWAYS a much better phone coming out next month or two (Droid, then N1, then Desire, then EVO, and upcoming Galaxy S). iPhones have issues too, but at least with your iPhones you don't have to worry about a new better model but once per year - but then you have far fewer options for hacking and the latest hardware. ;-)

I know it's too late to help in this instance, but in the future try asking your questions over at ppcgeeks. They play nicer over there. Most of us here on xda seem to have personality problems and can't play too well with others. You said you might try a nexus one. I have one of those too. I prefer the Evo hands down... If I were you I would go back to Sprint and buy another Evo, You will be much more satisfied down the road. Don't let these folks get under your skin!!

i know its a late reply but ill post anyway. i had the exact same problem. a sprint tech helped me out and called me throughout the day to see if it was working. basically he helped me do a reset of the phone to attempt a fix of the low reception. after that we had to grab a tower and because the tower was down i was getting the exact same problem as OP.
he noted that the phone couldnt be processed in the system yet because of the tower so he would call me and let me know if it went through or not. and if it did to continue troubleshooting it.
i kept on trying all day and it went through a couple of minutes before he called me as if he knew i got through. then it was fixed.
dont remember what we did because we entered a bunch of numbers in the dialer, but i know we reset everything and updated everything. it was durring the update that was causing the problems and recurring errors like what the OP had.
if its rooted id say update but i dont know which not to update since you could lose root. i would unroot, run all updates and register phone automatically and if it works then root. if not call tech and see if it can be registered automatically somehow. when it works, root.
just posting this for future reference because i didnt see anyone mention something like this here

[KERNEL]Netarchy Nexus for NS + NS4G

See official thread here.

Hmmm... thanks for posting this but I'm not sure how long this will stay up. It may be better and safer to split it into two posts eliminating a chance for someone flashing the wrong kernel.
However, your choice

Where it says "Nexus-S Non-Sprint Phones Only" flashing that one might cause issues.

Naw, worst thing would be it won't boot. It probably wouldn't even do that, person just wouldn't have service.

(Original thread here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1091382)

I'm glad to see a small thread regarding this kernel. I'm thinking of flashing this mainly to get the BLN lights for notifications. I started reading the 300 plus threads and gave up, used to reading and research but wow!!
I'm used to flashing, came from Epic and loved Odin. However, with the Nexus, I tried to unlock bootloader, used GSM unknowingly, and got brick. Took me 2 days as early adopter to figure out how to fix (found Samsung Simple DL720 and Odin),
fixed and finally unlocked and rooted. But now hesitant to load since many Nexus
items are not referenced well.
Thank goodness yours is, so my quesions are - should I use cf for better battery?
I am stock, will stay stock for now, so if I want to revert, can I use cwm with backup to go back if there are problems?
I'm also hesitating to flash roms, haven't seen anything from anyone I'm familiar with - loved ACS team and pfmedic - their development, help and response was outstanding, so when they develop, I will go there. So if and when that happens,
would I then flash the kernel for non-standard phones?
Thanks for the advice, the unlock mess just stressed me out - and I did find out it truly voids warranty at my Service Center - they blackballed me, so I cancelled insurance on all phones since I can hack/fix any of the other Androids we have. This is just new and I'm on learning curve.

Welcome to the nexus bandwagon. The current set up I have is kushdecks rom(its basically cm7 with gingerbread launcher) netarchys cfs 1.3.0 kernel. You will also need to flash Google apps. It is very stable, fast, good battery life, you can use cm7 themes and overclock. But if you want something light and stable try open soju it comes with zeal launcher and netarchys kernel out of the box. Good luck.

this is why I want to try the kernel first. My phone is running fantastic. Actually getting almost 2 days on battery, unlocked, rooted. So in that case, I am hesitant to change anything, really just trying to get the bln for notifications working. I read some get better battery life, so this would be g great, hers not so.
If I flash, not good for me, how do I get backck to stock? Any file for stock kernel I need that I can Odin like modems on epic? Go back from backup? I really don't want to go back with the Samsung binaries and have to re root, I didn't do well wit h fastboot.
I also like pure gb and want to see what updates come thru, especially for/ the radio.
Will kernel change let these come thru? I always hacked and used rams before that had updates, so not sure on this

That is the easiest way to get back to stock. I dropped my two week old phone and used that and fastboot oem lock to get it completely back to stock. It took longer to download the file then it did to return the phone to stock.
2 days on battery?! Are you not using it? I was getting 20 hours with the phone stock for the one day I left it unrooted and I get the same with Nets kernel and CM7.

I go up and down in usage, just got a new Asus Transformer so playing with it for online things, down to using Nexus for phone, messaging (3 kids so use it), and checking email. But at night, having close to 50% left in good service area.
On weekends, we are at end of service, so using Roam Control with still poor service, maybe 2 bars, 1x, and still have 30% left. My Epic (without R.C.) didn't make it. So I am considering this excellent, best phone I have ever had running, and have never left a phone stock for these reasons!!
That is why I am hesitant to do anything to it. I always want to try things, then have to spend time tweaking, fixing, or removing what doesn't work good. I just do not like fastboot, not comfortable enough to like using it, so don't want to go there when my main purpose is to be BLN and keep or improve battery. Also my stock Nexus beats my old Epic on ACS, pfmidnight on speed and service, unbelievable.
If I make a backup of current, flash kernel, it acts up, can't I just use backup to go back to stock or do I have to reflash something else?

Yes, you can root the phone and install a custom recovery and make a nand backup. You can always revert to that if the new kernel isn't what you like.

Thank you, and pushed the button. I am unlocked, rooted, backed up and stock. I don't want to use fastboot to erase everything, nor Odin with Samsung Simple DL;720 (that was my lifesaver) just to change back from kernel.
Like I said, once I was rooted and running on Epic and earlier phones, no looking back because I would do anything to get rid of Sprint's timeframes, crap, speed, etc.
But loving Google and want to keep OTA's coming for awhile since I haven't seen any roms I'm crazy about.
So will flash kernel and see what happens. Just can't live with any worse battery, and sometimes shouldn't try to fix what isn't broken, but want the blinking led buttons bad enough to change.

You can try different roms and nand back as well. I'm running CM7, wouldn't run anything else. 90% of the roms out there are based off of it anyway.

I'm going to try it today while on drive, see what happens for the weekend. As long as battery doesn't tank, I will be happy especially know I can simply use backup to revert
As far as roms go, I have always stuck with certain developers due to trust and service - we all know what problems arise with roms, and the newer they are the more little things need tweaked. Therefore, being unfamiliar with any of the developers, I'm not changing anything. I have never looked into cm7, know they are an excellent, excellent team, but they developed for phones I have never carried, so when I see things like nightlies, I do not want to maintain and fix, I
just stay away!!

To each their own but there is no maintaining, it's a stable rom.

fordmanck,
I did install the kernel for the weekend, actually used more battery than stock, and this was at vacation home, edge of service, which was unexpected but where I wanted to test since service for me is the most crucial (meaning I have run out of bars and batteries too many times to count).
Also, the primary reason for conversion was to use BLN for notifications. It did not work on my phone, no idea why, so going back to stock for now. I am actually shocked at the battery I get, best on any phone ever, and yes, I use it.
Did look into cm7 roms, I know I will play and do this, I'm just tired of being early adopter and dealing, meaning maintaining, with issues. That is where many of the Nexus S 4g's are. I couldn't find a cm7 rom, when I tapped Nexus s 4g, gave a lot
of choices. I do not want to use nightlies, but only a stable one, so when I find one, will give it a shot.
Thanks for your help, I used backup and am where I was before trying the kernel.

Benefit of EK02 ROM?

You didnt add Q&A to your favorites..

No benefits of any significance. They just used this maintenance update as an opportunity to update the ROM to Gingerbread 2.3.6 and make a few other minor tweaks that probably don't matter to most. The real meat of this update was about the kernel and modem.

Ya know, I was going to post a topic with something similar.
I have been watching and reading every thread since the leak last week of the EK02 and of all the reading I have done, I have not really seen anyone exclaiming about how much better their phone was after updating to EK02. I've seen a few remarks on slightly better quadrant and little to no LOS, but that's been about it.
After reading the Sprint official release info on this update, to me it seems like nothing was really addressed in this update, other than LOS and a move to 2.3.6. While I agree the LOS is a big, big problem and have experienced it a few times myself, I have much bigger issues with the phone that really needs to be addressed.
1) Does this release actually do anything for the crappy reception (both cell, data and wifi) that this phone gets compared to all my other android phones?
2) Does this fix the issues with gps not locking or taking forever (rather than me trying one of the 20 fixes posted that have not seemed to have worked for me yet)?
Maybe this is a dumb or n00b question, but is this just a quick fix bandaid for only LOS or is this the actual MR that we were hoping to come? If it's a bandaid, should we expect an actual MR to come anytime soon?
I guess I am just trying to figure out like the OP, what's the benefit? I was unfortunate enough to screw up a flash and had to Odin to E31 so I am trying to figure out now if it is even worth the effort to flash the E30 (that is finally available) and then upgrade to EK02.
Another n00b question, since the E30 was the missing part of the puzzle that was hampering progress for developers, will this mean that now that it's available, maybe some of my issues that really need to be addressed will probably get fixed first by a developer/xda before a MR ever happens or are these issues that will have to come from sprint/samsung?

Wowww. Sorry! Maybe there wasn't q&a section when I favorited a while back.

After reading the Sprint official release info on this update, to me it seems like nothing was really addressed in this update, other than LOS and a move to 2.3.6. While I agree the LOS is a big, big problem and have experienced it a few times myself, I have much bigger issues with the phone that really needs to be addressed.
1) Does this release actually do anything for the crappy reception (both cell, data and wifi) that this phone gets compared to all my other android phones?
2) Does this fix the issues with gps not locking or taking forever (rather than me trying one of the 20 fixes posted that have not seemed to have worked for me yet)?
Maybe this is a dumb or n00b question, but is this just a quick fix bandaid for only LOS or is this the actual MR that we were hoping to come? If it's a bandaid, should we expect an actual MR to come anytime soon?
I guess I am just trying to figure out like the OP, what's the benefit? I was unfortunate enough to screw up a flash and had to Odin to E31 so I am trying to figure out now if it is even worth the effort to flash the E30 (that is finally available) and then upgrade to EK02.
Another n00b question, since the E30 was the missing part of the puzzle that was hampering progress for developers, will this mean that now that it's available, maybe some of my issues that really need to be addressed will probably get fixed first by a developer/xda before a MR ever happens or are these issues that will have to come from sprint/samsung?

This was what my signal looked like using EG30 modem then EK02 modem. Notice all of the green in the signal now. Also, I pay for Hotspot. On 4g, if you were tethered and received a call, it would disconnect. That was also fixed.. LOS, that's really to be determined. I am still on 2.3.4 ROM but using EK02 modem and kernel. Only difference in the 2 screenies is the modem. As for the ROM itself, someone else would have to comment on that. I am waiting on flashing...for now

Like I said, the ROM update appears to definitely be the least important update of the three major pieces. Which makes sense. The EG30 ROM is/was pretty damn good.

I updated the modem to ek02 yesterday and it made a big difference in reception. I had to rely on an airave to make and receive calls since I had the Epic Touch. After the update I can actually have a conversation without relying on the airave. I can also use wifi at full speed without the need to stand next to the router. Only glitch is that I have had 1 LOS since the update. I will keep close eye on it to see if it appears again.

Well, you have to take into account I live in a GREAT signal area. I have 4 bar 4g service sitting on my couch. It seems like the signal strength is improved but if you are in a terrible signal area, it may only improve from terrible to bad.

Ok, flashed back to E30 with no issues...........other than I am getting SD Damaged issue after reboot. Was I supposed to pull the SD card?
Anyway, on to EK02. I don't know if I am getting too old but finding anything in these forums nowadays is becoming increasingly a pain in the arse with all the clutter. So far, the only EK02 modem that I see is for flashing with CWM.
1) Is this the one I am supposed to use?
2) I thought you couldn't do a full install with CWM, only a patch.

You either get the EK02 modem implicitly in the OTA patch update or you flash it manually through the CWM updater.
The EK02 CWM modem.bin update.zip is a patch install. It patches EG30 modem.bin to give you EK02 modem.bin.

Wind Mobile Galaxy S3 (T999) users UNITE

Great idea... first question here... i have never rooted a phone or done anything like that to it... i've always wanted to get into it, but i just never could get up the nuts to do it. funny because i've messed with and modified every other electronic device and pre-android phone i've ever owned... just got scared with android, i guess partly because i cannot afford to have to buy another 700 dollar device...
anyways, i want to go ahead and root my sgs3 on wind mobile, but i have no idea how. can anyone point me to some help... i mean super basic noob help? like a walkthrough? i want to put on CM9 if i can, and whatever rom would be a good one for daily use... i don't really know what different roms are going to get me even, and honestly for the most part the phone works great, but there are a few minor things (like google wallet) that i want access to and can't have without rooting... so i figure i'll go for it
also, will it void my warranty to do this, or can i revert back to stock if i have a warranty issue and then take it in for replacement? thanks for any and all help!

*please ignore*

hot temperature?
Are any of you guys noticing your Wind GS3 being very hot? My battery temperature is at about 35C to 40C after a few minutes browsing or playing games (though it's ~30C when it's not doing much). Feels reasonably uncomfortable to hold while it's hot ... Not sure if the phone is defective or if it's because Wind's (generally) weak signal strength forces the Radio/CPU to crank up a notch or two ...

GenericAsianGuy said:
I'll see if I can come up with something, but just wanted to say that I'm with Wind and I've been able to root it, flash the FreeGS3 (currently R3 right now) ROM and Trinity kernel. Also installed CPU Sleeper and other CPU apps. ~20 hours of battery life (since 7:30am), listened to music at work all day, played games on the train home, wi-fi on at home).
Also used Triangle Away to set the flash count back to 0

that is odd cause my phone sits in around 27 on average so its never hot to the touch so it might be a defect but i would go in and have that checked out in any case

and at last your question here i found a thread that will help you with everything so your not going on a mad man hunt for this information now you can pick whatever rom you want but they have a couple on here but ill have another link for some new roms that are more stable.

and hopefully we will see CM9 show up a bit more soon but all I can find is nightlies for now but i'm sure as we pass a month of this phone being out we will see better roms come out with it .....was kinda hoping for hellfire to move on over but soon enough i'm sure cause he is a great dev for the G2X aka optimus 2x
but for now those are the 2 big ones that i can see and of course as the phone progresses it will get more roms that are better out there

ok, cool, i'm going to read through those links
in the mean time, can anyone point me in the direction of a page, or just explain it, that tells me what the hell a kernel does compared to a rom? what does each of them do, and what does changing each of them get me?
i'm super new to android and honestly, this is getting to be so much for me that i'm getting tempted to just say screw it and not risk messing up my phone that i bought out and paid 700 dollars for by the time i was said and done....
i really do want to get into modding it, but i'm not going to risk screwing it up completely if it's a significant risk, and if i can't get warranty coverage for it if i do mess it up...
any help on clearing up what a kernel does compared to a rom, etc, would be awesome
also what benefits does the FREESG3 rom give me? will i lose out on a lot of the cool stock samsung features? i know some of them are stupid, but i honestly like some of the other ones, like the stock calender and a few others....camera, i dunno what else but i know i like em. lots of the other samsung stuff is crap for sure, but i've dealt with it thus far. also, if i flash a new rom, will i lose all of my existing calender entries or can i back them up and restore them to the new (if it's new) calender in the new rom?
holy *phew* hope that relieves my n00bie question diarrhea for the next 3 minutes...

okay for the most part the kernel doesn't matter most roms have their own kernels but some kernels will allow you to overclock your phone and yes you will lose you current calender entries and technically you will lose your warranty on your phone but the benifits are you can get much better battery life and speed out of your phone realistically but its all up to you on wether you decide to go through with it or not but i like what i got with the s3 personally optimus x2 i had to put custom roms on there cause without it my phone would be ****

also.....i've been reading about people having to install gapps (google apps i'm guessing?) separately? what's the deal there... do i have to do that? thanks
one other thing i forgot to ask... i've had a few people tell me that, being on wind, i cannot use tmo roms etc like i used to be able to on other phones (apparently) but now it looks like those links above are all tmo roms... i'm confused... am i boing to bork up my phone if i put tmo stuff on it, or no? thanks

well they said that it could cause issues but my old optimus 2x aka g2x worked fine with tmobile roms and btw GS3 is T999 where as the Canadian version is T999V and should have no issues from what i can see if im not mistaken the optimus 2x up here was P990DW where as the tmo version was T990 but the roms and everything were the same for both.
where as for the calendar its prob a loss and yes you install gapps separately but just follow the instruction and it will lead you through everything safely but here is another link just in case

My goodness, I must have been pretty irked to have made this thread from phone... where I couldn't even see the difference in sizes..
I hope the sarcasm was obvious enough that people aren't setting everything to the settings in the pictures...
I was pointing attempting to point out that, by default your settings are in kill-the-crap-out-of-battery mode and that a few simple adjustments
easily got me 4 hours of screen-on time.. and you guys aren't me (definitely not proud of this addiction).. you'd probably get 4-5 off the jump with a clean install followed by turning off the nonsense.
Seriously... I am appointing myself PhD... nay, Pharmacist ... If you have problems with your stock build, Pm me, with reasonable detail describing the issue.
I am definitely going to regret this and will probably throw in the towel after a while.. but for the love of (insert special individual or super deity) please stop making new threads (yes.. Like this one... jerk..) about the same tired things..
If you do it just to talk with one another fine... but recognize appreciate that you have been offered a chance to fix your issues instead of scoffing at someone
likely participated in the actual bug finding and squashing process.
There is no ICS bug that I have been made aware of that is actually on every release candidate. If you have had the same problem, on every build... which are in some
cases very different from one another... then let's examine the variables.. then let's read this

Dude, dont say ICS sucks, you're asking to get trolled. The point is ICS works for some people and they have a lot more time then anyone to stay on these forums.
Also, you are wrong. There's no way ICS doesnt work. It's just impossible. Did you see the fixes?

@Phaker
If you want to layer on top of what you did for even more performance + battery like you can grab tegrak (I know you got pay for it but worth it) switch governer to wheatley (assuming you have the latest TM Kernel installed) undervolt each step to -50mah (-75mah at each step works for me but can be unstable for other -50mah seems to be pretty universal) THEN overclock to 1.252ghz (let your ROM settle and do some usage tests) if 1.252 hold (which it should) push to 1.3ghz. Also for wifi go to setting advanced and set your sleep policy to either Never or Only when plugged in.
This is what I personally did that seems to fix all my major issues as far as huge battery drain. Finally allowing me device to go into a deep sleep and leave wifi on plus killer battery life & performance. And I am not running any custom scripts or anything......
SIDE NOTE:
After applying all these settings I left my phone off the charger last night. Went to bed with 95% battery. (mind you all my sync and even location services + maps everything is on) woke up 8 hour later and was down to 91% now that is some sexy deep sleepage and killer battery drain. This is what I would expect to see.

I try not to advertise when possible when I'm on here.
Just a preference, and I have exceptions.
Chainfires one example. I think we all owe him an app or two.. (I paid for 6 lmao only use 2)

Like it drops out when I'm sitting right next to my router , but only after the phone goes to sleep . When I wake up the phone I have no Wi-Fi . I have had this happen on every touch wiz ics Rom. And yes I do know how to wipe and install these ROMs lol. just something going on with ice cream Sandwich I guess . No big deal anyway I'm back on EL 29

two things I would like you to check, if you will.. there is a pic in the OP about 1
1) settings/WiFi/(menu btn)/advanced/on when sleep=
2) also what does"system/etc/WiFi/wpa_supplicant_scan"=
(this is likely the problem, in which case it is no problem )
let me know what you find.

When I get some time I'll flashback and give that a check and I'll come back and let you know. When I went to advance on Wi-Fi it definitely was set right. It was set to on when sleeping.
