Sicily1918 you are correct .. it is not simply a KitKat issue ... I have a Note8 with the same version of KitKat and there is no problem. It is just the Note2. Both use the same routers and both have the same WiFi/Battery settings. Hence my gripe is with the Carrier (or more specifically the...

Thanks for the replies. 1. Standard ROM ... not rooted. 2. Wifi fixer ... I'll try but .... ...that's missing the point. I've got an official phone with an official ROM with an official Kitkat update ... and it doesn't work and it hasn't worked for over a month. So why should I and 100s (...

Silly question, but .... has anyone heard anything about rolling out a WiFi fix? Its been a month now and applying the various workarounds (switching flight mode on/off works for me) several times every day is getting a bit tiresome. Sometime soon I'm going to start challenging my network...

My phone and my tablet ... both with the same version of Kit kat .... behave differently. The phone has the wifi issue but the tablet is fine. Posted via Android Central App

gnr_2 ... many thanks .. I've given that a go. At work I have several SSIDs depending on location as well as one for home and others. So I've done this for the primary work wifi network ... it won't seem to let me repeat this for all SSIDs (greys out the Save button after the first SSID DCHP...

OK when I first upgraded the unstable wifi was a bit annoying. Now it's getting REALLY annoying. There are hundreds of forums where users are reporting wifi problems. Mainly the wifi drops and the wifi option is greyed out. Lots of "fixes" ranging from switching on and off flight mode to a...

I have exactly the same problem. WiFi greyed and cannot switch it on. Restarting the phone solves it ... for a few hours. It seems to happen each time I leave a WiFi location and it switches to network data .. it just "forgets" it's got a WiFi option.

IMHO the wearable market is about to explode and in about 12 months some obvious winners and losers will emerge. I went for the Gear 2 not because of Tizen, but because I wanted to test out the concept of "wearable" devices - it's like anything else, when you first go for it you don't know what...

These are extracts from another forum ... maybe someone at Tizen can cast an eye over the problem ... Aqua posts status bar notifications using the standard (and only) Android functions for status bar notifications. The layouts are all system provided layouts. Aqua does not use any notification...

Do you have an email address? The Samsung site is impregnable: I usually end up going around in circles for several minutes before giving up. It insists on you selecting device type, then doesn't offer up the right serial numbers, so you hit a brick wall. Might be OK for complaining about a...

Further update ... I am noticing a difference after the upgrade ... I am now getting multiple notifications of email messages. ie one new email shows on my phone, but I get multiple notifications on my Gear of that message. In fact it only stops notifying me when I open the message on the...

Gear 2 Neo + Note 2 on EE/T-Mobile. EE (UK) have not yet rolled out KitKat ... maybe that's the issue. I've not noticed any differences. Everything was OK before .. still seems to be. Not found any additional options.

This morning I get a message saying" Gear Manger Needs Updating" Finished download then I get a message that the manager app has stopped. Now I can't find the Gear Manager icon anywhere. I re-boot the phone ... still no icon. Reboot phone and watch (again) still no icon. Look in apps manager...

OK, we know that the Gear 2 connects with the phone via Bluetooth. But why can't I find an option to share / sent files from phone to watch? On the Watch | Settings | Bluetooth there is a greyed out option "make visible" .. but I can't find any way of making this option active. Has anyone...
