It seems that Samsung Dive only works on my sgs2 when either the wifi or the network data mode is enabled on the device. What's worse is that if the "Wireless Networks / View Location in Maps" option is disabled, it will ask to be enabled while tracking the device.
Practically making Samsung Dive uesless.
Is there a fix for this? I've flashed a few ROMs but I'm back on stock, I never had this problem before flashing ROMs. Thanks.

I'm curious how you expect it to work without some kind of data connection.
Regarding your point about being asked for permission, if on KK5 at least, if you freeze the Network Location apk (com.google.android.location), the prompt does not appear and it does not seem to inhibit your ability to use GPS correctly.

Sorry if I made myself unclear, what I mean is that the user has to manually enable wifi or 3g to be able to use SD. So if the phone is lost, there's nobody there to enable 3g/wifi, so SD won't work.
You weren't unclear. How would you like it to communicate with the phone with no data connection?

Before I flashed ROMs SD would activate my 3g (when it was already off), then activate my wireless networks / location option, ten activate my GPS, then find my device. But now all it does is sits there, trying to connect, until i manually enable wifi or 3g, which it will then ask me to enable my wireless netoworks / location, and then it doesn't do anyting.
OP, you make no sense. You didn't answer to oinkylicious's question: how can SD reach your phone if it can't connect to it? It's almost impossible, so yes, someone has to be there to enable data or wifi. It was always like this and it will always be like this with the current technology .
About manually activating the tracking system, I also have my doubts. I only tried this several months ago, but then it showed my location without asking me to enable tracking. I'm on CM7 now, so I can't test it.
Alternatives: theft aware can do the same thing (now quite good, but it works) via SMS. You just send the code to your phone, and it gives you the location.

You still haven't answered my question. Also, could you provide some proof that this works on the other phone with all forms of data turned off, as it intuiges me.
If it works on an older ROM, revert until "fixed". If it doesn't, use an app controlled via SMS.

P.S. Im also on custom rom.

Yeah I use theft aware, but you can get it free with the avast antivirus app. It's controlled by texts, and it has a lot more features than dive, wipe protection, etc.

Avast anti-theft is really nice. I'm using it also, but it's still beta, and has some serious bugs sometimes.
So back to your original question, I think we can call it BUSTED. There's no way for Samsung to activate data connection on your phone if it's turned off manually

I've had the same problem with a different device, and never found an answer.
In fact, I trade that phone (Evo 3D) for this S2 (i777).
Heres the thing, for some reason my phone refuses to work on the school's wifi. Its annoying. On my last phone, I thought that it was just that phone, but apparently its not. Now I'm having the same problem on my S2. I can get notifications every now and then but cant use the wifi at all. Sometimes, randomly throughout the day, I can get about 1 - 5 minutes out of it, but then it just stops working again.
I kinda think it has something to do with my Gmail being synced or something, I really have no clue. It has the word "freaking" in it. I just dont think its a coincidence that BOTH phones in a row have the exact same problem. I didnt have the problem with any iPhone I've ever had.
I really need wifi, and I dont wanna get a new phone, so I would appreciate it a lot if some knew what this is about.
It connects and everything. Says it has great signal. Just doesnt work.
Im running the stable CM9.1, straight from the Cyanogenmod website. So its their kernel and all that good stuff. Android 4.0.4.
I know the ROM isnt the problem cause every ROM I flashed on my Evo didnt help at all.
Anyway, any help or tips anyone can give would be great. Thanks!
By the way, the wifi works perfectly fine every where else. Home, College, friend's house. etc.
You need to verify your school does not require special network settings or a proxy.
If you can see the network and connect then its just a settings issue. Have you tried reverting to stock?

I can connect just fine, as normal. It just doesn't allow me internet access.
By stock, do you mean the stock ICS Touchwiz? No. But I guess its worth a try. The only reason I didnt see that as a solution is because on my last phone, I had the same problem whether I was running stock or not.
It sounds like you need a proxy address to access the Internet at your school. Talk to the administrators of the network.

They have proxies restricted from what I know. I dont know too much about proxies, but I tried using a few different proxy apps and none of them worked.
And it doesnt do this to other peoples' phones. Why is it just mine? My other phone was an HTC on Sprint. It just seems like a weird coincidence that both phones have the same problem, and they're two completely different devices. That's why I thought it had to do with Gmail, I know that sounds stupid, but its the only thing the two phones have in common.

Two different phones and same issue. Friends phones work but yours doesn't. You have a PICNIC issue.
Problem in chair not in computer (phone). Talk to the network admin or help desk. You're probably using a wrong setting or password. The admin should be able to help you by looking at the logs.

I get what you're saying, believe me, but I just dont see how its a wrong setting. Its default settings ( until I tinkered around trying to fix it). I assume all of my less-knowledgeable friend's phones are default settings too. So it just doesn't seem to make sense that the default settings on two of my phones are the wrong settings, while every other phone seems to have it right to begin with.
I get what your saying, but I cant just talk to our Tech Guy at our school. It just doesnt work like that at my school. Lol. Thats why I'm asking for help on here.
And I dont think the multiple ROMs I've tried have the wrong defaults also.
Then sit down with a friend and make sure EVERY setting Is the same. Make sure you are both running android and using the same browser. If they are on CM too that would be best.
It sounds like something is blocking you from accessing the Internet while on the schools network. I don't think we will be of much help.

I can try the thing with my friend. Im just really the only one in my group of friends that's into, and actually knows a lot about Android devices. So they dont seem like much help. Haha.
And I was hoping people could tell me some ideas I havent tried yet. I know Android, but I dont know much about wireless networks and all that.
I'd love to help more, but since only one wifi network doesn't work for you it has to be something with that network.

Do you need to log in to your school's network? If so, when you enter your login id, if there's a line for anonymous id too, add your login id there as well. In other words, you have to enter your login id twice. Once where it says "login id" and again for "anonymous id."
If that doesn't work, what would help here is more info about how you connect (WPS, WPA, etc.).

It doesn't require me to log in at all. It worked perfectly fine on my old iPhone without having to log in. And it never redirected me in the browser. I've tried everything I can think of.
Proxies (Dont work)
I've tried static IP.
Factory resetting to stock Android (Every time I restart my phone it works for like a minute.)
BUT, I think I came across something. I compared my settings to a friend's, and his phone showed a different IP address. I'm still not sure if it was the IP to his phone, or to the school. How do I find out which IP is which?
Can anyone explain why it works for a minute or two and then stops?
Have you tried going to: Settings->wifi->advanced (you get to advanced by clicking the menu button) to make sure that:
Keep wifi on during sleep: ALWAYS
Avoid poor connections: UNCHECKED
Frequency band: AUTO
Wifi Region: United States
You may want to uncheck wifi optimization.
Oh, one other thing: you aren't using any battery optimization apps are you? JuiceDefender etc? If so, follow their instructions for uninstalling and uninstall!
Beyond that, I haven't got a clue. And no, your IP address has nothing to do with it. It should be different from your friend's.

My Galaxy S2 SGH-I777 suddenly the wifi stop working as well.
When i push button to put on. The Wifi show me this messege "Stating on..."
But never finish to starting.
and if I let a few minute alone, it put off automatically.
I had made a factory reset and nothing.
i changed the rom but nothing.
Now iam using Stockshock 3 with syha kernel.
is there any solution for this problem? or my wifi is already dead?
i'll appreciate your response.
Just received my S4 and setup my Wi-Fi on it so I don't blow through my Data.
When I am connected to my Wi-Fi it shows both 4G and Wi-Fi on the top of the phone as if it is using both 4G and Wi-Fi.
Can others please check their phones to see if when you are connected if you are seeing Wi-Fi and 4Gor 3G showing at the same time?
Can't exchange the phone yet because the stores don't have them yet
Thanks.
Both WiFi & 4G are shown in the status bar when I am conencted to WiFi. However, if you watch the icons when using an app such as the browser, you'll notice only the orange & green arrows under the WiFi icon show data usage.

Check and see if you have any Verizon Apps running in the background. For example I *think* the My Verizon Mobile App only uses the VzW network when it is on.
Yes mine does this as well. As far as I can tell it's normal behavior. My Galaxy Nexus never did it, but my wife's Droid RAZR does it.

Some people have the same issue as me others don't. Where was your phone manufactured? Mine was made in China.
Mine was made in China.
I also have general wifi issues. The wifi is extremely weak. If I go upstairs away from my router the speed drops way way down. Also while all my other devices can see a bunch of other wifi networks in my area, my S4 can only see mine.
Mine is now showing the 4G icon while connected to wifi as well. It's odd because when I first turned on and activated the phone this didn't happen. Over the course of getting the phone setup this issue popped up.
Mine phone doesn't show 4G while on wifi.
Strange how some people show both while others don't. Do you think it is something we should bring to Verizon's attention or possible return the phone? The point of WiFi is so I keep my data charges down and when I see both Icons on I assume I am using both.
Curious to see where everyone's was manufactured, Mine was made in China and it has the issue.
Make sure to disable Caller Name ID app. In other forum someone mentioned that disabling and enabling this app worked (if you use this application). If this doesn't work, there might be another app that requires Vz network.

I have had my Omate Truesmart for about two weeks now and I have loved it. When I turned my watch on this morning the bluetooth refuses to turn on. It was working last night but this morning it won't stay on. I have tried from the notification bar and from the settings wireless and networks. Neither approach works. When I slide the toggle to on from settings it immediately jumps back to off.

If wiping won't to the job, it could be hardware issue, maybe to open it and check connections.

Loki suggested on G+ to try disabling Quick Boot, then rebooting.
It's in Settings>System>Accessibility
Yes, you have to turn off quick boot to recover bluetooth, or pull the battery or let the battery run all the way down. Otherwise it doesn't really reboot, and Bluetooth will still not work.

Just for reference. This did solve the problem. I am now back up and running. In regards to network access unavailable I had solved that with mine since I have it paired with Glass I had to enable bluetooth tethering. Then the error went away then the problem is that it always asked to connect and I had to manually disconnect it otherwise it would severely drain my battery.
I have also tried enabling Bluetooth tethering but still cannot connect. I don't seem to be able to connect with my laptop either. I can't send files at all. I might just have to be patient and wait for an update.
I am using the latest cm nightlies and Ubuntu 13.10 if it makes any difference.

I've heard that this watch and the TS is pretty much the same watch. I'm having trouble with connecting with BT with my HTC One XL. I tried connecting a BT headset to it and it paired and connected. When I tried my laptop and my phone, they pair, but immediately disconnect; or rather, they don't connect at all in the first place. Has anyone had, and resolved, this issue with the Omate?
The BT issues affect ALL x201 smartwatches. So if it gets fixed on any x201, this forum will go nuts with folks applying the fix.

petite question l icone dans la barre des notifications du bluetooch doit étre bleu quant il est activer ?
I've tried searching, but couldn't find anything (but I assume it exist somewhere). One of my biggest pet peeve about AT&T is how they code the phone to automatically connect to any AT&T wifi hotspot no matter what. This has caused me issues, especially when sitting at a light or driving pass a McDonald's, etc. Is there a mod to correct this? I don't want to disable complete automatic connection (i.e., home/work connection), but this auto-connect to AT&T irks me to no end.
it should be under wifi settings.
click on settings, wifi, then click the three dots on the top left of the phone, then advanced.
Assume you are stock (booloader locked, not rooted, etc.). If there is no option to "forget" the network; than you might be able to disable the associated process. Otherwise, you may be locked out from disabling this without root (which has often been the case on past devices).

So there is a option in settings to disable auto connect only for AT&T hotspots?
Can't personally check, as I was on the stock ROM for about 1 day.
Yeah I had the same thing happen to me, that's how I knew where to find it.

Good to know. AT&T must have added it for this device, after getting complaints like the OP on previous devices! I know its been a problem on other devices; as I've experienced the same where the AT&T hotspot is close enough to connect, but too weak to actually transfer any data.
Hi fokls,
I recently updated to 5.1 ( Lollipop). I am on Tmobile and for some reasons, the mobile data setting kept getting disabled frequently.
Anyone knows what to do to fix the issue. I have tried pure stock as well as with root. None of them seems to fix the issue.

Just want to confirm, I have this problem too. Also on T-Mobile.
Edit: is it really just the setting that gets disabled? I have been rebooting to fix it.

Why don't you enable airplane mode and then disable instead of rebooting. It might work.

I tried that, it didn't work. I'm waiting on it to happen again to see if I can just re-enable mobile data.
Even if I can, this is still a very annoying problem. You'll miss a lot of emails, and messages. Yet another reason you might not want Lollipop

Its strange though. But if you go to the setting, then mobile data, you will see that it is turned off. Turning it back on, will re-enable it. I dont know why it does it though. No need for air plane toggle.
Is there any possibility this problem could be tied to a default power-saving setting that is turning mobile data off to conserve battery?
Just a thought.

I did two things, but I haven't had this happen since I did them.
1. Renamed HwPowerGenieEngine3.apk and HwPowerGenieEngine3.odex to disable them. (just add .bak to the end) They are located in "root/system/app/HwPowerGenieEngine3/" and "/<SAME/ARM/"
2. Enabled the option in Mobile Network settings to "Always-on mobile data"
Like I said, I don't know for sure if either really fixed it, but I haven't been having this problem for the past 2 days.
#1 . do I need root to rename the files?

yes, that requires root
I have no answer for you but, I am on T-Mobile and that's not happening to me. My WiFi becomes disabled sometimes/rarely. Also USB debugging gets disabled as soon as I back out of the settings for it. This is on B309.
My friend and I both using HAM2 on Wind, still on 4.3. Phone signal (not only Data) frequently turned itself off, then turned back on after a minute or longer.
Could it be the AWS (1700) frequency not reacting well to Huawei power genie?
I tried using "Normal" instead of "Smart" power saving scheme but no joy. Just froze "Power Genie" app via Titanium Backup. I think it turns the power saving feature off completely. Will monitor to see if it helps. I'll trade network stability for shorter battery life.
Apparently this problem is getting worse with Lollipop update.
