AFTV DNS querries - Fire TV Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Question for the forum: why am I seeing a bunch of DNS requests sent by the AFTV to various DNS services which are NOT the ones served by my router?
I have it set up with a staically assigned DHCP address, the DNS served is my router, therefore the concern about DNS queries sent to OTHER servers?
UDP 192.168.x.y 36814 208.78.70.16 53 Service 1 374 718
UDP 192.168.x.y 36814 208.78.70.4 53 Service 1 201 498
where 192.168.x.y is the IP of AFTV and there is bi-directional traffic (ie it gets a reply).
I also found other servers (don't have the snapshot but they were amazon.com, ultradns, etc). WTH is going on?
Is this related to me forcing the DNSmasq config to resolve the amazon update addresses to 127.0.0.1? Is the device now trying to resolve it bypassing the local DNS????
EDIT: I got pi$$ed and activated "DNS intercept" in DNSmasq config...let's see what doesn't work now that all those packets are captured.
OK ...and the plot thickens:

Holly smokes...looks like I'm the only one that cares. Good - don't be surprised if one day you wake up with your AFTV updated to a non-rootable ROM.

That is not going to happen with CWM custom recovery installed & with OTA updates disabled after root.

Galaxy Nexus Wi-Fi dropping / reconnecting

Been having this issue lately with my Galaxy Nexus. Not sure if its the phone, or my router.
When I'm connected to my home wifi network, the connection on my Galaxy Nexus is constantly in and out. It will stay connected for a few minutes, and then drop for a few seconds, reconnect, and keeps repeating the same cycle. I can watch it do this in the wifi connections menu under settings. This is super frustrating when trying to web browse / use apps that require connection, etc.
*Note, this also happens at my Mom's house too. Same issue.
Anyone else have this issue or a fix? Would be greatly appreciated.
I've been having the exact same issue. GSM Galaxy Nexus from Rogers running stock 4.0.1, rooted, unlocked bootloader, UGKL1.
I've tried a few roms (Android Revolution, AOKP 19) with some custom kernels (franco 13.1, GN-GSM by faux123) and still had the same problems.
I've been having the same issue with my Xoom running stock ICS 4.0.3 (rooted, unlocked) as well, so I thought it was my router too. I've reset that and still the problem persists.
I've adjusted both my phone and tablet to only use 2.4ghz in WiFi -> Advanced which was no help either. All other wifi devices in the house are running without issue.
Not sure what to do at this point.
Are there many other wireless networks in your house/area? Is the 2,4GHz band crowded? You can check that with an app called "Wifi Analyzer" from the market. If it is crowded around your channel you, can try to switch it to one less crowded.
Go into Settings>Wifi Settings>Menu>Advanced. Click on "Wifi Frequency Band" and change it from Auto to 2.4 GHz Only.

I've looked into that and changed to a less crowded channel, no change for my phone or tablet. My Xoom was fine before when running HC 3.2.2, my N1 was fine running CM7 Nightly and all other wifi devices are fine in the house. Problems only exist with my ICS devices.

I've made that change as well, still keeps dropping and connecting.
Have you tried giving your Xoom and GN a Fixed IP (advanced in wireless menu).
No I didn't want to have to go that route, but I guess it's a logical next step. I'll try that tonight.
Did you fix the problem?
Hey
Sorry to dig up an old thread but I have started to experience exactly the same problem with my GSM nexus.
I have had the device since release in November and have nit had any problems until recently. Wifi keeps dropping and reconnecting a few seconds later. Have tried resetting my router and have completely reset my nexus to make sure its not an app. Phone was and still is completely stock 4.0.2, my Xoom has no issues on the same wireless network.
Service centre maybe?
you might want to try the recommended radio and bootloaders and perhaps another kernel (i'd recommend Fugumod kernel)
see the link for recommended radio/bootloaders in the developers section of fugumods kernel (as i cannot post links yet)
Might also want to see if there is newer firmware available for your wireless access point…
I am also experiencing drop and reconnect issues they suck on the battery
but they do not interfere with usage

the phone looses handshake every 10min and reauthes every 30min?!?!
had this exact same problem because of restoring apps and data with google during the initial rom startup. did a complete wipe using recovery mode and skipped the google apps and settings restore at the start and it's working fine since then.
puhhh not cool but I will try it
Try ddwrt if you need a custom fw on your router, openwrt doesnt seem to cut it for you.
Try resetting your router as well or check wifi settings, try wpa/wpa2, try with open network.
İ have same issue my nexus i turned off small character to normal one and gone dropped andbewconnect issue but before i did factory reset and didnt choose my data back i load my application again

This problem started yesterday for me. No problems before yesterday. I have been always on stock. I have IMM76I now... this is annoying...
@DooMMeeR: I think the 10 minutes are just the key-rotation interval of your AP, the periodic handshakes are pretty much normal. What isn't normal are the deauth requests. Do they happen every 30 minutes, every time?
I've recently been getting those Wifi disconnects myself. I think they've started sometime after I've gotten the 4.0.4 update.
This is what a disconnect produces in my wireless logs: (802.11g WPA2 PSK AES)

It looks like something fails during WPA key-rotation. (presumably the same thing for DooMMeeR)
I've now increased my key-rotation interval from 60s to 3600s to see if that reduces the annoyance of the bug... Which I'm pretty sure is not a wise thing to do from a security standpoint.
Hopefully the problem gets some attention from Google.
Well I've been having this issue. Been messing with my router and set it to channel 1 and its fine now

How to connect USB Ethernet Adapter gadget

I am trying to connect a usb ethernet adapter to my i747 s3 without success. Has anyone tried this?
I compiled usbnet.ko and cdc_ether.ko from samsung source
insmod worked and I have an entry usb0 when connecting to the adapter (gadget). I am using a USB OTG cable.
I did "ifconfig usb0 192.168.3.100 netmask 255.255.255.0" to assign the ip address to the interface usb0
When I ping the computer on the other side, the "ping" works (packet transmitted and received by party 2) but the "pong" does not work completely (packet transmitted back by party 2 arrived at the phone but then dropped and thus the ping is not complete)
Here is my ifconfig usb0 output
Code:
usb0 Link encap:Ethernet HWaddr C6:75:9C:64:98:AF

Notice that the phone received the "pong" but then dropped it: (RX packets:9 errors:0 dropped:9)
The only related info I found is at android.stackexchange.com/questions/20541/android-usb-gadget-driver, which mentioned that there is some alignment issues. I try to make the changes suggested but was unable to get my newly compile kernel to boot (stuck in a boot loop, this may because I don't know enough about flashing kernel???).
Any pointers?
Thanks.

* The fist use case is when you don't have wifi but you do have wired internet. I realize that you can just buy a wifi access point to solve this poblem as an alternative.
* The second use case is when you want to transmit in another band. Since the phone is only capable of the quad bands, you cannot transmit in other frequencies (think ham radio, marine/police frequencies, or just for watching over the air tv on your phone). For this to work, you need an RF head (antenna) that is capable of doing this. The one I have can only talk "ethernet over usb".

The problem I found out was that there were two consecutive calls to "remove header" in the driver.
Did you get this running? I am keen to get USB Ethernet support in my international s3 running cm10.1. Step by step guide would we fantastic.
Can you send the patch to usbnet.c?

Can you send the patch to usbnet.c? I've been searching this problem for few days I am trying to get ehternet throught usb with OTG technology. I managed to load mii.ko , usbnet.ko and cdc_ether.ko. The problem is with the ARP package sent by my i9100, it have 2 bytes dislocated right, the MAC address becomes invalid.

Issues Tethering with codefireX

Hello,
I am currently running codefireX SR14. My provider is Petro-Canada Mobility. I am having issues when tethering through their "unlimited browsing service" Basically this service only allows http/SSL TCP traffic on ports 80/443.
Anyhow, I've been using autoproxy and this has allowed me greater functionality of most apps. Here lies the problem. When I attempt to tether (wifi hotspot or USB) Traffic is not being forwarded at all from the hotspot gateway. As a result, connected hosts cannot access the internet. After doing some initial troubleshooting, I have concluded the issue appears to be the OS itself.
Regardless of the situation, the hotspot gateway will not forward traffic with autoproxy connected, disconnected, or if I use my Junos VPN.
As a result I have 2 questions:
1)How does the Android tether operate?
2)Are there any "Backend" options I can access someone to force the gateway to forward traffic through autoproxy or my Junos VPN?
I have included the trouble shooting results below:
When tethered:
My PC IP = 192.168.43.83
gateway = 192.168.43.1
Ping to gateway is ok:

Approximate round trip times in milli-seconds:
Minimum = 0ms, Maximum = 0ms, Average = 0ms
This means my PC can reach the gateway fine (with autoproxy on and off) With that in mind, I try to ping the Petro-Canada proxy server:
Proxy server IP = 10.128.1.69
Ping to Proxy server fails

This happens regardless if autoproxy is connected or disconnected. What this means is that the gateway traffic on my phone is not being properly forwarded.
When I usb tether it's the same issue:

At this point I believe the issue to be Android OS. I am running Jellybean 4.2.2, I also have Junos VPN installed, and I have full internet from my phone when connected (all ports tcp/udp) through Petro-Canada unlimited browsing. I still run into the same issue where trying to ping any outside IP results in a timeout. (i.e Google DNS 8.8.8.8)
I fixed the issue. I'm not sure if it's the ROM or my provider.

[Q] How to get VPN (PPTP) working?

I have DD-WRT on my router, VPN using PPTP is configured and absolutely works with Windows 7 client, iPhone client, iPad client. But not Android (Note 2). It connects fine but drops the connection after approximately 5 minutes. It doesn't even know the connection has dropped. The VPN "key" icon still shows up on the notification bar and still says "VPN is connected". On the DD-WRT (server) side, the logs says:

Firestick 4K dropping wifi after update. (DFS Channel)

Hi Guys. I have 2 FireTV 4k devives, and both of them started to have wifi issues suddenly. (I believe after a software update). My home wifi runs on DFS Channel 56 (which IS supported by FireTV. It has been running fine for over 1 year.
Suddenly this started to happen:
FireTV suddenly drops the WiFi connection. When I try to go into network settings, the device freezes. Sometimes it is able to go to network settings, but it only shows "Ethernet Disconnected".
If i try to to "My FireTV" and "restart", it freezes on the restart screen. The only way to get it back is to pull the power plug, and reboot it. Then, it connects fine to the Wifi, until it drops it again 5 or 10 minutes later.
I was able to enable ADB logs and this is what I found on the logs:

it seems to be related to Wifi direct and DFS channel 56. But, it has been working fine, on this same channel for MONTHS. I really have to use channel 56 or 60 in my apartment, because all other 5Ghz channels are completely congested.
