Hi, guys. I having trouble sending files over bluetooth. With my GSG2 it's working like charm, but with GN I need to start third party app lik Bluetooth file transfer in order to receive file. Is it possible to do this in normal way? On the GSG2 I was authorized the phone to accept files from my PC without prompting me, but GN even didn't ask for this. When I try to send a file, I receiving only the error message on the PC and nothing on the phone. If I start BT file trasnfer app, it's work.
+1 on this problem, cant transfer anything to GN but not a problem from it to any device
when I try with "Bluetooth File Explorer" it says Bluetooth FIle Receiving Service cannot start.
Did you try making it discoverable?
I face no such probs, i rarely use it anyways, wifi is way way way way faster.

Yeah I know it's faster with wifi, but when ur not at home bluetooth is the way anyway, have u tried sending a file from ur pc to ur phone or from another phone to ur GN? If yes then I guess it's time to wipe everything and reflash the firmware and if this doest help, oh well, RMA it

I have had a few problems but have found a solution myself:
Just put everything in a zipped folder, transfers fine every time without third party software!
Hope this helps
Hmm I'd like to know a solution to this too. Sending files from my phone works fine, but I tried sending something from my laptop earlier and it didn't work

if you say "bluetooth is the way to go when wifi is not available" why dont you use wireless hotspot, and run a http server, or a ftp server, or simply dropbear on your device? then your friend can connect to your phone's hotspot ssid, and get whatever he wants. it works great if the other person isn't using some last century phone.

Yes ur suggestion is good for big files, but for small files bluetooth is more convenient, for me at least i think once wifi direct is more common, "bluetooth file transfer" is gonna die

Does anyone have another solution? Zipping/unzipping things is a minor hassle but it's still a hassle, I bet the iPhone doesn't have this problem..
I was using MrRobinson's stock rooted rom. When OTA 4.1.2 came out, I unrooted, installed patch, ran CF-Autoroot then I'm back to rooted again. However I did notice, every now and then, my wifi stays connected but connection dies. Internet connection is simply dead. So I don't get any email notifications if ever I get new emails. To fix this I have to turn wifi off/on and internet is ok again. I thought maybe I did something wrong so I wipe cache/factory reset, odin back to full stock non-rooted, installed OTA then use Exynos Abuse/Exploit to root. I am still experiencing the same issue. Att Smart Wifi is disabled. Wifi is always on under sleep policy. I have scorched the net and I can't find any solutions Any help would be much appreciated.
Mine is on the oem update no root even, and my wifi sucks now. The signal and connection will be good but it can't up or download anything. Wifi speed and cellular data speeds are all sub 1mbps also. ATT wifi is disabled also.
The only thing that helps me is to just pair to another wifi source, and go back if needed. Annoying! I'd love to find some solution also, I don't mind rooting if need be for it also.

You can still do warranty to get a new one just call att and tell them your situation with it. This would be my best recommendation to you. Or just root and keep running roms. This is one phone that I havent had the urge to customize with a rom or anything yet

Thanks for the recommendation but I also felt the same before. I thought the phone was fast enough that I didn't need to try custom roms. After trying Scott's ATT CleanRom SE, that idea was simply change. If you haven't, you should try running custom roms. Although, I would still want to know if there is a solution to this problem when running stock rom.

Perhaps it's a minor bug somewhere and the custom ROMs happen to pull that wireless code piece from something other than official 4.1.2 where the bug (if it is one) is located.

True, but 4.1.1 didn't have this issue. They must have changed something.
I don't know if it is related to the issue in this thread, but I had a problem with the phone since I got it of the WIFI constantly connecting, then disconnecting, then connecting again. I solved it by changing the security model of the router from WPA/WPA2 to WEP128.

Yeah saw that thread somewhere but this is a whole different issue. Wifi stays connected but no connection to the internet. You get connection timeout.
Yeah mine just quits. A note 1, a note 10.1, 2 ipads, 2 iphone 4's, and xperia ion and three separate computers have had zero issues on any of the wifi networks here. In fact, if I leave it be, it will not work on the phone, and it now seems to block all the rest from access! If I turn the wifi off on this, perfect immediately afterward. Strange.

did you try just simply reset your router?
I had all the problems in this thread after 4.1.2 A factory reset fixed it.
I'm using the international ROM (custom but fairly stock) and started experiencing the same issue when I switched ROMs.
Toggling the wifi always fixes the problem, but it's not a permanent solution. The problem seems to happen when the device goes into sleep mode for me.

Has anyone got a solution for this problem of Google's Android 4.0?
Some specifc wifi routers/access points seems to be incompatible with ICS. Connecting turns out to be an infinite loop obtaining ip address/connecting. When android itself gets tired of trying it says: "Avoided poor internet connection".
It seems there is a solution for some devices, such as Galaxy S3. I already looked around half-internet and have not found a single working work-around.
I'm using stock ICS 4.1.B.0.587. When I was using GB wifi worked ok.
Shame on android.

I don't know the solution but I've heard of this one. A friend of mine switched to CM9 (this is ICS as you know) and he saw exactly what you described. The WiFi was working OK in GB but in CM9 it was entering an "IP obtained-Connecting to Network" loop. He searched in the CM forums and found out that you need to manually delete a file or something. Afterwards, it was OK. I'll ask him if he remembers what the solution was...
I don't recall whether I had a similar problem when I was using CM9 on my ARC. I used the CM9 briefly before switching to a JB ROM, maybe I haven't realized that I was experiencing a WiFi issue. Or maybe I was just lucky
Hi,
I have face this problem once, I'd miswrote my wifi key...

Try in router settings to set some country where channel 13 is not available.
For example put Canada. It has from 1-11 channels.
Maybe this will solve your problem.
Hi quera!
I'm on LT18i_4.1.B.0.587_(1254-2716) -locked- having this issue too.
Looking for a solution -with no avail at the moment-.

Thanks in advance.

I've CWM flashed ViperXperia_V5.0.zip after install I had bootloop, then via flashtool flashed LT18i_4.1.B.0.587_(1254-2716) again root, install recovery and at the momentgoes like a charm
same problem had happened to me but rare now.
I would suggest changing the encryption to WEP and see.

Hello Guys,
I am having WIFI Tether issues with any custom AOSP or AOKP rom. Installing a touchwiz related rom somehow resolves the tethering issues.
I've trying all the usual steps before installing a custom rom including wiping everything, factory reset and all that good stuff. But the native tether wont work on these roms. I tried the wifi tether apps in the app store but no success there.
However, what really gets to my nerves is that my daily driver is 4.1.2 liquid smooth rc7 version of the rom which i assume is based on aosp does allow wifi tether but only through the app in the app store. The native app continues to fail.
Someone once told me to install the wifi driver for the phone. Is that possible? If so how? By the way i am running a rogers s3 which is the at&t equivalent in US.
Also, just so you guys know, my other devices do pick up the wireless set up by my phone's tether, but it wont connect to it. password or not, it takes forever to connect and eventually fails.
Any advice?

If you carrier is Rogers, you need to make some mods to tether 4G (H+, 3G will work w/o mods). There's a post about it somewhere in Task's AOKP thread, which I believe a search should find it. Google can also help.
Same issue here, Rogers LTE tethering didn't work and tried to google and find the mods as posted.
couldn't find the mods.

It's dependent of the device receiving it. If it's too old or it's drivers are too old it won't get the speed it should. Also tethering shares the connection, therefor, you won't get full speed on the receiving device.
Could be so many things actually that's it's hard to troubleshoot.

Hello,
I recently upgraded to .757 firware (rooted) and today I tried to tether my 3G connection via WiFi as I used to do on JB. The thing is that it doesn't work and after trying, I get a "error" in the settings (see pic attached). Furthermore, I can't turn WiFi on, unless I reboot.
I've already seen some workarounds (like deleting /data/misc/wifi) but it doesn't work for me... it's annoying because otherwise, rom is great.
Anybody ever encountered this issue or knows a quick fix ?
PS: I know there are some troubles with T-Mobile, and I'm not on T-Mobile network, to make it clear
Thanks !

I have been unable to tether using bluetooth. Everything seems to go through but the notification icon does not stay in the status bar, and there is no actual connection.
Tethering via bluetooth with an Xperia Z on 4.3 works just fine.
So I can confirm that something is broken in the tethering function.
