[Q] Authentication Error Occured when connecting to Wifi on the Galaxy Note II

Authentication Error Occured when connecting to Wifi on the Galaxy Note II. Has anyone got the same issue? The Wifi was connecting till yesterday with the same authentication information. I am not sure what happened today. I went to a friends place where I had used Wifi before and it gave the same error. All other devices work just fine. I got the device on Nov 9. Not sure what to do now.

I have the same problem with Omega 8.0 ROM(4.1.2) earlier everything was working fine.
Most of the people do not notice it because it happens only with WPA-PSK & WPA-PSK2.
Try setting WEP on your router and everything will work just fine.
If you find any other solution please share it here.

Go a bit closer to your router.. it will connect.

I want to bring this back to life for only a moment if anyone cares.
I recently had this problem with my Galaxy Note 10.1 at my home. Nothing had been altered on the router, and I had not made any changes to the settings in my stock Note 10.1
First moving closer to the router is not a solution to this problem. I was an inch away from the router and no matter what I tried...restarting, turning wifi on off, re-inputting the correct password, removing apps... everything short of a factory reset. (Because that is the simplest solution when you cannot find a solution)
I also had this happen the day before to my old Samsung Vibrant (not stock, Rooted and Custom Jelly Bean Rom).
I did find a solution and I will give that in a second.
To the original poster I have to ask a question, on both of my devices I had recently installed a bunch of kid games one in particular that I think may have caused the problem was an app called Kid Mode. Did you happen to install this app too?
SOLUTION
Forget the network in the wifi settings, and then try logging in with the Wrong password! It will not log in, but will reset the device to try to actually connect.
Login with the correct password!! And like magic you will be connected once again.
If you too installed kid mode or perhaps an app that becomes the default launcher instead of whatever launcher your using this could be the cause...but I do not know why.

[Q] Google Play Store Images Not Showing on Galaxy Note 2

Just bought a a galaxy note 2 GT-N7100 and everything was running just perfect but suddenly images on my google play store stopped showing. I tried wid cleaning up the cache and the data. I downloaded App Cache Cleaner also. It worked just once after deleting the cache thru the app but now again the same prob comes up and i cant see any images or screenshots on my phone when i use the mobile data on my 3g connection. Funny thing is it works perfect when i connect it to my wifi at home. Pls help.

[Q] Chrome beta caused me lots of issues.

So I installed the new Chrome Beta app, it installed okay. But when i opened it, it asked for certain permissions from my Google account and on the third permission, my phone just restarted its self. When it turned back on all my accounts (in settings) had been deleted, I have not noticed anything else yet.
I added them back right away, but this morning i noticed the Facebook account had gone again.
Anyone know how this could have happened?
Thanks!
Rooted, Stock, Galaxy Nexus.

The beta version is unstable but it seems unlikely that it could cause something like this even I have it and it only hogs memory. Try uninstalling and re installing the app and also check your apps with root permissions to make sure they are not misbehaving.

Installed Chrome Beta on both my GNex and Xoom, no issues. A few extra permissions to accept, which I believe are due to desktop Chrome extensions installed on my PC.

Okay, so you don't think the app could have caused this?
Was it just coincidence, that it happened while the app was opening up for the first time requesting Google account permissions?
My phone has never done this before, besides rooting it, I have never modified anything else.

I also had the same reboot experience but no problem with my accounts.

Requesting permissions seems to be normal, did it to me as well.

Not sure why it would wipe your accounts, but it is a beta. Always an upfront warning...

I downloaded it and gave it a try. Found it to be sluggish and buggy. I'll stick to Dolphin.

No Data or WiFi.

This is starting to become a recurring problem. I turn off my Data and WiFi through the day (to save battery) and when I toggle them, the icon shows up in the status bar, but refuses to change colors. This wouldn't be an issue, except it doesn't allow me to connect to the play store or anything that has to do with data (besides browsing the web). I'm not sure what I should do, flash a new modem or what?
Thanks in advance, I couldn't find anything on the web regarding this issue.

yea, you should probably try flashing a new radio, theres a thread somewhere in the forum but I can't remember where I saw it...

If you go to the second post in the sourcery forum they have a ga02 download which is the latest radios.

Thank you for replying guys, have you had a similar issue and that seemed to fix it? I just thought it was weird because it worked for about an hour or so, then just stopped out of nowhere. I'll try that with a fresh install then!

Weird things after official 4.3 update

Hi guys,
Few days ago my S3 received official 4.3 android update, and weird things happening after that.
When I connect to internet, via wi-fi or data, phone automatically download a small file named "files.zip". And it happening every time I turn on wi-fi or data... I can`t find this file in downloads or anywhere else. When I try to open, it says "cannot open".
Second weird thing - browser often redirect me to a advertising or span webs. For instance, I try to open youtube.com, it opens different web with advertisement.
Anyone have an ideas how can I fix this?

We need proof screen shots video something

You might be in the wrong forum. Your profile says you're in Lithuania, using a GSM provider there. Is that still the case?

damn your luck were still stuck on 4.1.2 if your having the issues you say you are with what sounds like maleware. have you installed anything to check phone. over here we have apps like lookout security. i kno nod makes a phone app. you could always do a factory reset back to out the box state. reinstall apps one by one to check it out. sound like you have a app with crap in it.

Factory reset helped to solve "files.zip" autodownload problem, but phone is still laggy. It takes 3-5 seconds to turn on screen when I press power button in sleep mode. Applications become laggy. I will try to reflash 4.3 via KIES, if the problem remain, back to 4.1.2 will be optimal decision.
Thanks for help guys, and sorry again for getting lost in galaxy s3 forums
