[Q] Market server errors?

Both my wife and I (both on Fresh 3.1.0.1) are getting server errors trying to access android market tonight. Anyone else having this problem? Tried rebooting, tried routing through wifi, neither helped.

Just flashed king's kernel 4 and i'm seeing the same market issues.

Yup, major market issues here, slow, slow.

EDIT: nvm, seems to be the local tower plus market refusing to go thru wifi. Sorry.

Yes. I'm getting it too. What did you mean about the towers and refusing wifi?

Edited OP. 3G here is spotty, so I thought it might be that market refused to go thru wifi for some weird auth-related reason. I wasn't seeing packets going thru the router, at least. But I turned off wifi, verified that I was able to route packets thru 3G, and still no market.

Gotcha. I do hope they fix it soon. There's nothing worse that being bored and wanting to browse apps. It's funny because I normally don't browse much on the app store. Maybe it's my fault

theres a all around problem with the market for the last hour or so i just tested both my Evo and a old Samsung Moment laying around the house and both are having the same problem.(Also my Evo's Rom is the stock rooted 2.2)

I just flashed a new ROM and thought something was bad. Good to know it's not just me.

Same here.

same here fellas!!

It got me too, hopefully it's just some maintenance, although the least they could do would be to post a notice

It seems to be back up. However, I can't find some apps, and it's not showing free apps in the list anywhere near the top when I search (e.g. my wife just searched for "clock" -- she wants a new clock widget). I'm hoping this is a temporary problem.
Actually I'd really like to be able to filter to get just free apps on a search, but, no go on this.

I think they are SLOWLY getting it back up. I don't have top paid tab in my market. Its loading very slow, and a lot of apps are missing. Hopefully it will be sorted out by morning.

[Q] Delay in data transfer with EB13

Hi, I'm having this odd issue. I've heard of everyone complain about slow data 3g speeds and mine seem to be normal, im getting around 1 mbps, however there is a delay in getting data transferred every since I switched in EB13. For example, when I go use the browser, I have my homepage set as Google and it'll take around 10 seconds for it to start transferring the data and then display Google. It also does this on apps, i'll have to wait for the transfer to start. I've tried reset via stock recovery, updating profile and prl, going in ##3283 and changing some things.
Any ideas? Is the modem just that bad?

anyone? it'd be gladly appreciated

maybe its bad DNS? Is there anyway to change that for the 3g on the Epic?

Having the same problem, hope all fix is on the way.

where are you located in in case it's a network issue?

same problem.
I'm having the same issue. In Knoxville, TN right now and I get 5-6 bars on 3g. Full signal in the house on a wireless G network. It happens on both.
I'm on EB13 with Supernova rom and Genocide oc/uv kernel. So there's some customization there. I can't remember, but I did flash a bunch of eb13 roms/kernels and beieve I got the same effect for all of them.
The only thing I've found is this "data lag" on occurs when the CPU is at max in set cpu. I cannot for the life of me figure out what is causing the cpu to run at BOTH the highest frequency (1Mhz or 1.2Mhz, whichever I hav set) AND 100% cpu load as depicted in various apps. I've killed everything and it still stays at full cpu load, and that's when the browser, emails, messenger, anything that sends/receives data goes wonky.
I may have found a brief workaround. When sending a message, the message send icon may hang for 30 seconds to 1 minute for me when this happens. If I hit home and go back into the messenger app a few times, it seems to speed up the process. I'm not sure but perhaps it's forcing the cpu to focus on sending that message for just long enough to send it.

Update: Odined back to DK28 Modem and flashed ViperROM Trinity (DK28) to see if that fixes the data transfer issues.

I just have stock eb13. This is really frustrating. I'm not familiar with odin or anything like that and explaining this issue to sprint is hopeless

Update: there is no delay with wifi. Only 3g and 4g. Does that rule out the modem?

In Denver, Co... I am also having the same issue... my ping rate at times is over 300, and anytime I use 3g it takes a good 10-15 seconds to even start data transfer. Didn't have this issue before eb13, ad didn't have I w/ eb13 from samsung website (though I had othr issues) didn't start until after sprint "fixed" my phone....

I'm a little confused towards the end? You updated via samsungs website? I did too.
What did Sprint do to "Fix" your phone?

May be a dumb question, but have you all tried updating the PRL in settings since updating?

An update on my situation:
I'm running same as before, but since ViperROM is compatible with both the DK28 and EB13 modems, I left everything identical other than the DK28 modem. I no longer have any data lag whatsoever, and my CPU is running fine. No more max frequency clock and max cpu load.

Oh my god, i am so happy someone brought up this issue. let me tell you my story:
i had my epic for 28 days. Ive been noticing the data "hangs" all the time. things like kik messenger time out, market says loading forever and times out, all kinds of issues, 20% of the time, the other 80% the data is snappy and works fine.... Well on the 28th day, i was pissed. i unrooted my phone, reflashed it with stock eb13, brought it to the sprint store and told them i want a new phone because this one is defective, i told them i had it on 2.1 and now on 2.2 i got a brand new epic 2 days ago, and im noticing the same thing, it doesnt seem as bad but what the F*** is going on with the data? I never updated this one to the eb13 because i dont like being rom-less. and wanted to wait for the new bonsai rom eb13 build. I am currently running bonsai 2.0.1 with the OC kernal and gingerbread theme on dk28, only other thing i got on is no battery complete sounds. i even deleted things like screebl and juice defender thinking maybe it was that. i dont know what the problem is...

Okay this is weird. I just noticed that there is no lag in data transfer when using the xda app and when zooming into a map on Google naps you've never opened before. Its like certain things have priority?
Sent from my SPH-D700 using XDA App

I've noticed that ever snce going o dk28 for the first time.
I'm used to it so it doesn't annoy me as much any more, but it sucks tapping something and seeing the reaction 10 seconds later.......
I blame it on the sprint ping.
This also happens on wifi sometimes, but I blame that on the router and internet over here...can't wait till I'm home in nyc so I can really test out eb13 in 3g and 4g

It was happening on wifi, yes, or it wouln't have been THAT big of an issue for me, hahah. And it only happened when cpu load was at 100%. If anyone wants to see if this does parallel the "data hangs," I believe there's a free app on the market called process manager that will show you cpu load. Try it out and let us know. If this is the case, it really would be an issue of system process priority like mentioned by Samsuck.

Can you provide exact name of the app? Is it Process Manager lite? Let me try and I'll let you know what happens.
Edit: okay, i don't think that app was it.
I have watchdog. lol it says 20 percent CPU usage

Sprint hardware update = no wifi tether?

I was having signal go in and out at work all day yesterday, and it turns out Sprint was replacing a bunch of hardware in my area (Atlanta). Now, I cannot get wifi tether to work. My computer will connect, but it will not get internet. Wired tether works fine. I've tried the Sprint Hotspot in Calkulin's 3.0, and also the Hotspot in the ICS Goodness. I've also tried Open Garden, Wifi Tether for Root, and Fox__* (I can't remember the exact name).
It will not connect. Tried different roms, 3g/4g, resetting network ##72382# or whatever that code is, did a complete reset, tried different roms, etc.
The only thing I can conclude is that whatever Sprint updated here locally fixed this loophole for the hacked hotspot. Atlanta is an "A" market, and typically one of the first to get updated, so if this is the case, maybe nobody else is seeing it
Any ideas on what else I can try?? I need this wifi tether desperately.

have you tried foxfi?

I am not a dev, nor do I know a lot about anything. I seriously doubt changing tower hardware would "fix" a software workaround in a phone for internet sharing. I don't have an answer as to why or why not, but it sounds highly unlikely. I am speculating the two are not related.

Had this same problem about a year or so ago. Download "Root Checker" from Google Play. I forgot why but sometimes Root will be lost but your phone will say you are rooted. I don't remember the details. All you have to do is Root again if this is the case.

Try going into superuser app and updating the su binary, when mine get outdated sometimes wifi tether quits working but other root apps will still work.

Yes, no go on that one as well. No matter the program, I get the issue with my computer "unable to connect" on Windows 7, and also limited/no connectivity with Windows XP..
How can I generate a log to find out what's going on? I'm starting to get the feeling it has something to do w/ wifi driver, although wifi works fine, 4g works fine, 3g works, and wired tether works fine, I cannot get wireless tether to work with 3g or 4g..
Tried Sprint Hotspot, Wireless Tether (for root), Open Garden, Foxfi..

I agree, however, I'm assuming there's also an upgrade in software to go along with hardware changes, and they may have rolled something out at the same time. It could be a coincidence, but I've never had a problem before.

Ok, this is interesting. Do you all know if Wifi tether has always been ad hoc? I thought it used to show up as an AP in Windows.
Also, once I updated SU, my XP would connect to Wifi Tether only, but then tried the Win 7 and gave me the same "unable to connect" box. Now, neither of them work again.
Ideas? How to log, etc?

Do you all know now LAN settings would affect connectivity?
It seems Wired Tether uses 172.20.xx.xxx/30 while I believe the others were using 192.168.2.0 or 192.168.1.1, etc.

I'm in the Atlanta area (North West - Kennesaw/Acworth). I use WiFi Tether (the open source app not the built in), just tested it, I was able to connect and use the internet from my Nexus 7.

Foxfi is broken on the SE4GT since the ICS update.
Installation instructions (for Sprint Users):
1. Make sure "Unknown Sources" is checked in phone Settings (under Applications or Developer).
2. Tap on the following links to download the apk file for FoxFi.
3. From phone notifications select the downloaded file. This will install FoxFi.
FoxFi latest version: 1.91.3
*Support for the new Galaxy S3 and the new ICS update for Epic Touch are being worked on. Should be compatible soon in a future update.

As far as I know, the built in sprint hotspot is the only way to get infrastructure mode. All others are adhoc. If there is a setting for it for a profile, I think I remember reading somewhere to pick the galaxy nexus profile.

I just tried Wifi Tether in netd mode and it worked as Infrastructure. Client was Win7 x64.
Good to know too that I have a backup internet source if the main goes out. Not great but better than nothing.

WiFi Tether App Still Working?

I've been using the WiFi Tether App on my Epic 4g (CM9) for quite some time. I haven't had to use it for about a month, but it was working previously.
I tried to use the app today to browse with my iPad. The app initializes and connected without issue. However, my iPad will start to load a web page and stop about half way. Checking the app, I see that the download meter starts to tick upward, but quickly stops. The odd thing is that the mail app is working, downloading mail items at the set interval.
Is anyone else successfully using this app at this time? I'm trying to figure out if Sprint is blocking the packets requested by the iPad, or if I have an issue with the app or phone.
I've tried the following troubleshooting steps: (Note: app was properly configured and working several weeks ago)
- Rebooted the phone
- Installed the latest Beta
- Checked internet connection on the phone (working just fine)
Thanks,

Maybe you can increase the data usage to higher limits. I'm using it right now on my laptop without issues. Also, I would recommend using the beta 11 and not to update to 14, and do not update the program even if it says "Update" available in the PlayStore. For some reason it gives issues.

Actually, I can't stand my iPad. Work gave it to me. I only use it until the apps I need make their way to Andriod.
At home I have my fire-sale Touchpad running CM9. I use that whenever I can.
I'll keep playing with the settings. At least you've confirmed that Sprint is not blocking it. I was suspicious because the data would fly-in for the first 2 seconds before dropping to 0.
Thanks!

Ok, here's the oddball thing. It is only my iPad that is being blocked from the data. My CM9 Touchpad (chrome) is able to access the data without an issue.
The only thing that's changes on the iPad is the upgrade to iOS 6, so perhaps the problem is with the iPad and not the tether app. I'm still suspicious that Sprint is picking off Safari packets or something, but that's likely my paranoia kicking in. I'll keep experimenting...

[Q] Wifi Tether

I have a GN2 and have rooted with the Toolkit with success verified with Titanium Backup and Root checker.
Have tried several versions of WiFi Tether with the same results. The log for the app shows that is has "Done" all the steps but no luck broadcasting. I read in another post that Sprint Connections Optimizer was a problem and used Titanium backup to freeze the app and cleared the cache. I have a friend with the same phone and network and he uses WiFi Tether all the time with no problem, He sent the version he uses and I installed but still no luck. Since the posts regarding this have been made several months ago I thought I would post this. Thanks in advance for any help.

if you're rooted, I would try out TrevE Mod WiFi. I'm using version 3.2-beta2-***Synergized***: Linky. I use the driverreload2. But both worked. I would got some random disconnects on driverreload1. You'll want BusyBox installed too; you should install anyway if you're rooted. It's very useful tool
I don't remember doing anything else to get it working. I use it everyday at work connecting my tablet and old Evo4G to it.
That Connection Optimizer is annoying as all can be. I can't remember if I froze or uinstalled it, but I turned it off a minimum because every time I plugged the GN2 into a PC, it automatically switched to a WiFI connection.
Hopefully that will help.

Make sure that your specifying a cdma phone profile and not gsm in your wifi tether app. If there is no note 2 cdma then try nexus cdma. These settings are in "device profile" of the wifi tether app.
Also make sure u have busy box installed. That might help as well

First of all thanks for taking the time to help. I have tried installing the suggested version along with other versions of TrevE Mod but still have a issue with the phones signal not being seen by my laptop, tablet or desktop. With just about every version I have installed looking at the show log the software appears to go successfully through all the steps with done in green including the last step that wifi is running. I have tried numerous profiles such as wlan 0, wlan1, all the Galaxy S3 choices with the same results.

Thanks for the help. I have tried different profiles including Nexus CDMA but no success. It just seems that something is causing the broadcast not to function. The toolkit I used to root did state that it had busybox however when I searched in applications I did not find it. When I look in titanium backup it does show that busybox is there. I did install busybox free from the play store and that did not seem to make a difference. With all the versions I have tried they seem to go through the steps completely with a green "done" under each entry in the show log. The only time that doesn't happen is if I change the setting to ad-hoc, That causes errors.

Additional information that I found as a difference from my phone and my friend's that use's WiFi tether I discovered that the kernel I have is older. I am running the stock rom but my kernel version is as follows:
3.0.31-265523
se.infra @ SEP-63#1
SMP PREEMPT Wed Oct 3 15:59:26 KST 2012
Could this be part of my problem and if so how can I update it?

I'm not sure. I have used both the stock kernal and Persues with not problems. Right now, I'm not beta preview of TrevE Mod Wifi 3.3 with Persues kernal 3.036 alpha 30. Worked fine last night the seven hours I had it on at work.
DId you open BusyBox and make sure it was installed. It's important to open BusyBox otherwise it doesn't actually install Linux tools. BusyBox is an app to install Linux tools.

Wow - that is incredibly stable. Did you experience any disconnects on this newer version?

not that I noticed of. I test it the night before a bit streaming on my Tablet, and Hulu Plus was being nick picky. But I've had this issue with Hulu and several devices and seems to be more a network issue.
Worked fine last night too. Streamed two and hours of NFL network, hour and half of Netflix, about an hour Crackle. Sent a few emails. Did some web browsing.
It seems pretty solid thus far.
