[Q] Software to hang computers on network ? - Off-topic

So I share a 512Kb/s internet connection with people I don't know, and now it is slow as hell.
I heard that there is a software that hangs computers on networks, don't know the name tried googling but couldn't find anything.
anybody knows anything don't hesitate.
p.s I tried remote shutdown but failed every time

u find the routers ip(default gateway?) and login , restart the router and its should be better for a while

hahaha I wish it was that simple, I don't have the router's username and password and they are not the default. Also I don't have the router only a 50 meters network cable between our pc and the building owner appartment.
too complicated I know

Try this;
Download net tools 5
Find the udp flooded
For ip thing put 27.27.27.27
Drag the slider to ten and fill that box up with LOADs of stuff, next hit start and leave it for a bit it should flood your network so everyone else gets kicked off when you wanbt Togo o turn it of
Or use the ip flooder if you can find the ip of everybody on the network

Bet there's someone downloading torrents or some other P2P thing.
A friend of mine in Tel Aviv used to suffer all the time because her daughter would leave her PC seeding.
They had 8Mbps down, but only 128Kbps up! It was so easy for the upstream to be flooded and grind everything to a halt.

the net tools works like a charm
i even tried doing an adhoc network connected my tp2 and no site opened
I'm from jerusalem btw only in jordan for studying

TYTN II WiFI would not activate

Friends,
I've been proud of my TYTN II for the last thre months that I've owned it... until recently though.
Last week, my WiFi connection stopped getting activated/swichted on. Howsoever, I may try, it would not get activated, leave alone discover the network.
I tried re-flashing it, soft-resetting, hard-resetting, I mean practically everything I could, but to no avail.
Has anyone faced this problem before, and found a solution to the same. Would appreciate if you could share the same with me. I really do not want to take it for servicing, as I fear it would take me easily a week to get it back if I take it to the Workshop.
Thanks in advance,
Atul
Let me ask a couple of questions.
Can you turn wifi on or do you get an error?
If wifi turns on does it see any access points?
have you flashed your rom on your phone?
have you tried another access point for wifi?
do you have any wifi applications installed like wififofum?
Hi Chumley,
thanks for the prompt response...
I do not get any error, not even any message hen I try to activate the WiFi. Just that the rainbow circle keeps rotating (hour-glass equivalent of indows), and then shows the WiFi is still inactive (small x near the WiFi icon).
I tried re-flashig with the latest ROM available on the HTC website, but to no avail.
Trying another access point does not help either, neither would it, I guess, since its not a problem of signal strength, as much as it seems to be of the Wireless on the Kaiser not getting activated.
No 3rd party applications installed either, after the last re-flashing, still no luck.
Anything from the above, that rings a bell?
If it does it after a flash I would think you have a defective wireless adapater. Sorry.
Guess it should not be a problem as mine is still under warranty... just abt. 3 months old. But my only worry is, as I mentioned in the original post, the time it would tk. to get it fixed by the Service Centre, or if at all it is a correctible problem... I think time to ask for a favour from a friend... a standby mobile while I await mine back
If you let it go free and it comes back, then it's yours forever.
Hello, same problem here:
two days ago my wifi connection stopped suddenly and cannot activate it from the comm manager. When I click in the WIFI Icon, rainbow circle keeps rotating and PDA perfomance goes down.
any ideas :?
Hueznar,
I've already given mine for repair at Service Centre two days back, and am still awaiting it back.
Shall let you know how it goes once I get it back
WiFi would not activate: Motherboard concked off
My PDA motherboard conked off... and it wud take 3 weeks to get it back with a new motherboard !!
Oh My God !!

@ Iatul
Are you sure this is the only reason & solution, for I have an IDENTICAL matter of the problem, but I never thought something was wrong with the HardWare..., damn I love HTC
I know I saw this thread too late (and finally) but if you please could respond with any news?
thanx
I'm not sure what is wrong with my Wifi...need help
I don't know why...really.
The comm manager stays on good, but when I try an access point it starts with the Connecting... then after a few seconds it stops and goes Unavailable.
My router works good with my bros and sis MAC books.
So I have no idea why.
Can anyone help?

ssid? is this in the router menu?
So.. I tried what you said and didn't worked.
I think it has to be something set in the edit options...
Could you help me?
yeah ssid is the id for the wireless network
i'm not sure why it worked for me... should'nt have made a difference.
have you tried different wireless channels on the router?
increase the power output?
sorry man i don't really know enough about it but happy to try.. pm me if i can answer your question i will
looks like this guy had a similar problem... have you tried what he did?

Wifi access point problem
I had a problem where suddenly after months of use with my home wifi router, it suddenly would not connect with the router anymore. Would show that it was trying to connect, and then would suddenly not connect and try another router on the list.
I tried reseting and everything. Tried re-entering the password for my router as I thought that was the problem. finally the only fix i found to work was to actually delete the access point from the phone... then reset and then let it find it all over again from scratch. And miraculously that time it worked.
I know this is not exactly your problem, but hope it helps.

By changing it to channel 1 in my router, it kinda worked..
It says Available now. Nothing else... The connect option it still there button left.
That's my update.
just in case letting you know that I disabled all MEdia net and ISP GPRS so I won't get charged because I'm not paying for my onlince services or any mobile plan with internet.
My brother told me that all WIFI connects directly to internet and it won't matter if I don't have a plan for mobile.
Correct me here, if im wrong.
Thanks.

[REQ] Spykee robot control

Hi Guys,
Just bought that wifi robot Skypee. Excellent piece of kit. But was just wondering if anyone has heard of or can develop software so I can control it through my Diamond (or any windows mobilke based phone).
Just posting it in Diamond section as I own one but I am sure that Spykee users will have other mobile devices whether it be windows platform or not.
Any coments suggestions welcome.
Had a quick search on google but could not find anything (yet).
anybody?
BUMP!
Just bumping this thread to get noticed.
So, I am assuming nobody has found a way to do this.
Never mind. I am sure many of you may get a spykee this xmas and maybe then the devlopments will start (hopefully)!
I didn't thinkt you could buy Spykee yet. Where have you bought it???
cool gadget!

alrite mate,
i bought mine few weeks back from costco in birmingham. it cost me £115 inc vat! but i heard they were going for £99 on amazon inc delivery! dont know if they still available though.
only thing that is a ***** about spykee is building it. it comes with about 1000 pieces. it took me about 6 hours in total to build it!!!
but its worth it! its really a great "spy" robot and the voip funtionaility is overrated as skype is not supported (yet anyway). but good thing about it is that firmware can be upgraded and additional programs for robot can be written in future!
just waiting for a windows mobile based gui application to control it! then it will be awesome
I just got a Spykee for Xmas, My girlfriend paid 175 quid and that was the cheapest price a few months back as they were all 199.
Im gutted to see it for 99 quid now but thats just the way things go!!
I would love to control it from my xperia.
There is an SDK for the Spykee and I might even try and develop some software myself depending on what language its for.
Shame about the price, I could have had 2 and used one to build an Ed209 from robocop or a Johnny 5 from short circuit.
It took me about 2 hours to build, if that! How the hell did it take you 6 hours?
I did have trouble with the stupid fiber optics though as they kept falling out but it was easier to just put them in last!!
lol

lol, 2 hours not bad! it took me that long to build the backbone lol! well6 hours was an average time over 3 days. did not have time to spend whole day on it but i suppose if u got experience with meccano or are good with building things like this then it would be good. i just wish the robot could build itself out the box lol!
I cant wait for applications\firmware for this to come out! will be excellent! my nephews love connecting to it from the other side of the world and playing\chasing\talking to my son via spykee! Great!
crazydiamond, you talk of an sdk being released? is it out yet? i last checked the website few days back and it was not out. will have a quick search again after i posted and if i cant find it will try and ask the question here again.
but i am glad to hear that i am not the only one wanting an application to control spykee from a WM based handset! will be very interesting to see one!
Have fun merry xmas and happy new year to all!
Apparently there is an SDK coming out soon, as spykee was advetised as having one I thought there was already one to download!
Another shameless marketing trick!
There is a guy called Jimfx on www.spykee.org who has deleloped his own GUI in Delphi and it works really well.
You can even change the speed to make Spykee a lot slower.
Give it time and someone will release some source code for us to play with.
I am quite dissapointed with spykee if I am honest.
I have had nothing but trouble with remote connection setup and have had to change my router settings because Spykee would not see my router unless it was broadcasting the SSID!
I still cannot get my friends to connect! Have forwarded every port and updated firmware on the router.
It needs an update and a web interface and some better documentation.
I expected so much more, and the intruder detection is not as advertised either.
I will keep you posted mate on any, if any, code appears for Spykee Devs
All the best and Merry Crimbo

yeah i had trouble setting up remote connection. but make sure you have changed the default admin password for spykee from password (default) to whatever you want. also, it is better to have a static ip address assigned to spykee so that it functions correctly.
its true about the false marketing about spykee but hey, i know this can be more of a robot than meccano have advertised it as because once custom apps for the robot can be made...well lets just say we will 'flash' spykee just as we 'flash' our mobile devices....to get more functionailty out of them than the manufacturers initially permitted!
Thanks for your reply and Help.
I have already assigned a static ip to spykee and tried Mac filtering on/off, broadcast ssid on/off, WEP on/off etc etc and still no luck.
Its starting to piss me off, The robot is not responding to anything.
The battery lasts a few minutes before it says it needs to re dock! Even on a full charge it says it needs to re dock.
So annoying. It looses connection in Local mode or Ad-hoc and none of the features work that are supposed too either.
I have already emailed play for a refund but it was bought before their 28 day stupid returns policy. Even though I only opened it on Xmas Morning.
Looks like I will be taking them to court.
Hi CrazyDiamond,
In order to be able to connect to Spykee from the internet, you have to follows
these steps ( and it works really good)-- I will use example data to make thing easy.
- Create a user other than admin on the console application
( MyUser / MyPassword)
- Register your Spykee on http://www.spykeeworld.com/spykee/US/index.html and select register. ( Give a name to your robot and a password -- carefull, this is case sensitive)
( MyRobot / MyRobotPassword)
- Still in the console, in My Spykee tab, put EXACTLY the name ( case sensitive) and the password you registered in spykeeworld. Note the ip adress you have here.
( MyRobot / MyRobotPassword). The ip shown: 192.168.1.1)
- Go to the remote connection tab and check 'Authorize remote access' then put a port number.
( 12345)
- On your router you need to do port forwarding to Spykee ip address and use as SOURCE and DESTINATION the port number you did put on the console application.
( source port: 12345 destination port: 12345 destination ip: 192.168.1.1 )
That's all.
Now to connect to your Spykee, click on the connection icon. Select Remote robot and put the exact name you used to register spykee ( case sensitive).
( MyRobot)
Then when the password is requested, use the account you create on the console (not the admin one).
(MyUser/MyPassword)
Then it should work.
Regarding the battery which the console says it is empty. This is a bug on the console application. Just don't take in account this message and you will see that you can use your Spykee for hours.
Regarding the documentation, it sucks!
Regarding the SDK, this is not yet available and I hope it will be soon...
Yes the last note, your Spykee should bip 3 times when you turn it on, which means it did
connect to your wifi access point.
I hope it helped.

Drack thats great man! Its a better guide than I could even think of. I wish I had a straight forward step by step guide when I was trying to configure mine out!!!!
i am sure this will help newbies of spykee!
CrazyDiamond, have you ironed out the issues with ur spykee? personally i think there is something wrong with its wifi broadcasting capabilities but hey im no expert. let us know how you get\got on
Hi, sorry for late reply, I was without Spykee as I sent him back for refund.
My spykees power issues were not software bug related, he eventually would not even activate when clicking "click to activate" Thing was driving me crazy so I sent him back and got my 184 quid back.
Bought another one for 94 quid from Gizoo and just build him and finished setting him up.
Drack, Nice guide, I appreciate your help although there was nothing there that I didn't already do correctly in the first place.
I still cannot connect remotely, I think it is down to my Router but I really do not know for sure.
I am a bit of a Computer Wizard and have been for the past 15 years, Solved 100's of PC hardware related and software related problems but cannot get a stupid robot that has age 8 written on it!! lol gotta laugh really.
Im sure my router is forwarding the ports correctly as I even checked the ports were open, completely removed all my security, firewalls and made sure He has his own IP assigned and still no luck.
Think I will convert him into an Ed209 or Johnny5 and wait for a firmware update if a new router does not work.
Cheers guys and Happy new year.
WooHoo, He is alive, Johnny 5 is alive!!! Well spykee is but you know they look the same.
I didn't test the new robot from a remote computer as it didn't work with the first one I had on the same settings.
I tested it with a local computer using remote connection as it specified in the manual.
This did connect for about 2 seconds and then just disconnected. Same thing as with first robot.
Wasn't even gonna bother testing from a remote Computer but decided as my friend had the software and was online at the time I would ask.
To my supprise, He connected! Still cant connect remotely from a local pc but thats only to test it anyway.
So happy He works. If anyone else has the same problem as I have had then make sure you try it from a remote PC, even if it doesn't connect as instructed in the manual.
It is so much fun to have someone drive him round
Strange!
Hi CrazyDiamond,
Your problem is really strange...especially the fact that you can't connect remotely from your local pc while a friend of you can connect remotely from his computer...
this could be that you have a kind of network problem. Check if you dhcp server is
correctly configured (if you can force an ip address for a specific mac address then do it for your robot, so it ensure that you will get anytime the same ip address...)...because if you don't then your port forwarding will not work correctly...this is stupid they didn't allow a fix ip address for the robot

Hi Drack, I already have the router Mac filtered and also already assigned a specific IP to Spykee by adding his Mac into the routers config.
Its all working fine apart from connection to a remote robot from local pc. This is not a problem as when I am home I connect too him locally and when I am at work I connect remotely.
It cant be the PC I am using as I have tried 2, One connected with wifi running xp pro sp3 and the other is connected via patch cable directly too the router, thats running Vista Ultimate 64.
The software is buggy using Vista64 and does tell me the battery needs charging etc.
Thanks for your advise, If I was unable to fix the problems myself then your advise would have been a blessing and I would have solved it.
Hope this thread helps others with problems.
By the way, Spykee is the nuts and I have had so much fun. Cant wait to Mod him and get the SDK.
Sdk is coming...
Hi CrazyDiamond,
Your problem is really strange but as soon as you can connect remotely from outside, and locally, this is no more a real problem.
For the battery I have exactly the same problem under XP, it tells the battery is empty after 5mn of run. It seems to be a bug in the software...
For the SDK, I emailed the support and they told me that they apologize to be late, but that the SDK should be available very soon ( this month).
I hope now that they will be hardware addon for Spykee...maybe Mecanno/Erector will provide new add on devices in the future...or why would they have use an usb connector??
cheers,

OK, I'll try that, thanks. So they are something that needs to be done after the new Auto Nooter version 25?

Seconded on this. Had the same issue on my first try (and I've rooted about every device Ive ever owned) and xboxexperts tut's definitely helped.
I had that problem and had to register the unit with BN, search and you can find out how to reregister it with BN. I read somewhere where you can register with BN if you had this problem. try this link
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=887802&highlight=register
This isn't the Q&A section or general section.
Apply your question(s) in the proper sub-forum, cause you picked the wrong one.
Posting in the wrong forum might result in a temporary vacation
xboxexpert, I have run your script (couldn't find any other tutorials amongst your posts, where are they?) and it installed a lot of fun stuff. But unfortunately I still have the same error on Android Market (Server unavailable. Please try again later.). But the Live Wallpapers work now, so thank you for that! I could never get those to work on the regular Nootering.
secfincorp, does that matter for the Android Market? I reran the wizard and it's already registered (I did that before the Auto Nootering, as you're supposed to do according to the instructions on Nootering). You sure you're not thinking about the Barnes & Noble bookstore instead of the Market? That doesn't work here anyway, only in the US.
Mikey1022, your colleague moved it after you closed it. But I would still say this is relevant for the Android development because it is a part of the Nootering process that doesn't work for everybody (I have seen others asking about the same thing in the Nootering thread, but the overwhelming lack of answers have made the others give up, it seems).
SOLVED!!!!
At least for the Nooks part. It's something with my ISP that blocks the market. Gonna have to call them and find out what it is. I tried going outside the house firewall and got nowhere. Then I took it with me up in my family's small zoo shop, and it just worked at once! So there is something at the ISP level that's blocking me.
I'm sure it will be a walk in the park to find out that from the ISP's army of well trained technical experts...not! Gonna have to deal with underpaid idiots reading from a flow chart again. "Have you remembered to plug in your DSL modem? Have you tried to reset your modem? Do you have any cables connected to the modem that were not supplied by us?"

Could be firewall ports on your router are blocked maybe...are you sure the dsl modem doesn't have a built in router or something?
Nope, it's not. I have a three tier system:
1. First the Thompson 585 DSL modem which is set to bridge mode, so...
2: ...the Linux M0n0wall firewall controls the DSL connection. And I do of course have full control over the firewall in the M0n0wall, and even turning that completely off doesn't help. The M0n0wall connects...
3. ...to a Windows 2003 Server that is the main house server, and the firewall on RAS is disabled. Then a WLAN router (Netgear with DD-WRT Linux firmware) is connected to the server, and it gives wifi access to everything mobile and portable in the house. That's connected as a pure access point, with the WAN port configured as a LAN port and the firewall turned off.
That means that disabling the firewall protection on the M0n0wall turns off all kinds of firewall protection in the house, and I have tried that. I even tried connecting another wifi router as an access point directly to the M0n0wall, bypassing the Windows Server, and that did not change anything either. So I'm very sure this is a problem at my ISP.
OK. So you know what you're doing. Just making sure. Some folks don't know anything about routers except how to plug them in.
I'm on a pair of DD-WRT routers myself (one bridged). I got tired of screwing with firewall port forwarding for PC games, Tivo, Xbox live, ipods, etc... now I leave the hardware firewall off, and just use the firewalls on the Windows boxes.
Yeah, I sort of know what I'm doing... Been working with computers for almost 25 years, so all the way up from DOS 3. And that makes it even more frustrating when I'm stuck on a simple thing like getting Android Market to work!
I actually have two DD-WRT routers in the house too, one Netgear that I use for the in house use and one Buffalo that's connected before the Windows Server to share my Internet connection with a neighbour. And then I have a Buffalo up in the shop, which in addition to giving wifi access also is set up as an always on VPN tunnell from the shop to the house. You can say that my system is a bit overkill for somebody who doesn't run a semibig company, but it's fun! And it's so stable with the hardware and software I've got running on it that you'd have to shoot it with a shotgun to get it to crash!

Captivate wifi fix?

Ok guys. I am not sure what is going on here.
I can't connect to my schools wifi and it is becoming a royal PITA.
I can connect to wifi perfectly fine at home.
At school, they don't require any sort of "password" to access the network. (no wep or anything I mean) They do have one of those annoying/retarded portal login systems which seems to be coded to only care for laptops.... Actually I should say coded for a hand full of browsers ON the laptop.
I once or twice a week or so ago was able to actually access the login page either by entering it manually and being able to actually use wifi for a few minutes.. or by getting redirected.
I took the problem up with the help desk, they said we now have alimit of 4 wireless devices and my allowance was maxed.
Unlikely but, whatever..
So now over the last few days won't redirect me, it won't let me even enter the login address manually.. (before it wasn't a sure thing but, I could at least do it.)
I am rooted running cog 3.03. (Which does have the 2.2 update) Had the same problem on stock 2.1.
Goes without saying I'm rooted and willing to do what it takes to get wifi working here.. Even if I did happen to have unlimited data.. my school is pretty Iphone heavy... especially at lunch, And some days I am just happy to receive the occassional text I can get from my girlfriend.
But, fact is I don't have unlimited data.. I have extremely limited data.
If anyone has a solution, I would appreciate it.
Tried:
Wifi fixer in market.
Rebooting.
"forgetting" then reconnecting. (a million times).
Manually assigning an IP address.
Praying to Cthulhu
Using multiple browsers to see if one works with portal better.
and I am out of idea's..
Any chance you need to enter a proxy server?
I have never needed to enter a proxy server before with any other device.
And I have never found anything suggesting I would anywhere on the school website.

You might ask around about it. The browser is probably set to auto detect a proxy. You don't have that on the phone.
Although, you do indicate you actually did connect for a bit a while back, so it likely isn't the proxy.
Sorry. Don't know what else to offer.
I appreciate the effort, unfortunately my school didn't resolve the issue either so I am unsure what to do..
You might be on to something with the proxy...
No telling how the looney's set this stuff up...
Do you have the login page in your favorites? And does the device connect to the wireless "hotspot"?
I'd test it at a starbucks (or mcdonalds of all places have them too) and see if the issue repeats itself. The ATT hotspot requires you accept the agreement before it allows you to browse.
If it doesn't work.. I'd go back to stock and see if you continue having the same issues. If the issues are resolved when going back to stock - then you'd need to bug DG for a possible fix with his ROM as that is possibly where the problem lies.
Yes it does happen to connect at other places.
I can get it working at home no problem.
I have the url memorized at this point to log in..
Part of the reason i rooted was one or two people said it cleared whatever wifi problems they wre having up..
Infact I would agree with that more than anything..
Although it didn't fix my problems, I have been able to do a bit more..
I hate with a passion bumping my own thread.. but, if anyone can help.. I would appreciate it.
i think your issue might not be your phone but your school unfortunately... when you are there to connect, are there a lot of others there as well?? for example, where i am at, they have their access points set up and i can select it with my phone, but sometimes i get on and sometimes i dont.. the issue is that they limit the amount of connected users and it might show that you are connected, but you don't in fact have access.. does this sound about like what you are having??
a test (and this will suck) is to let it connect and if it isnt connected, sit there for a while and watch as people leave and see if you connect.. usually they slot peeps in order as they log in via their IP.. so depending on how many users are not able to connect, you might not be the first to get on.. this sux and i know.. it happens here all the time and some times i have drained my laptop battery sitting there trying to connect.. now that i have my phone, 1 or the other will connect first
hope it helps a little.. but like said.. good chance its not your phone .. if it is your phone.. i am not really sure what else to think of at the moment..

wifi interference

howdy
me my better half and i have 3 xperia devices and problems with wifi
i use xperia z, miss uses xperia t and we have xperia z tab
the problem is following
when one of the devices is connected to wifi others cant connect (maybe connects with limited conectivity)
so im asking for suggestions and solutions so more than one device can be connected to wifi at once. its been the same since the beginning so updating didnt break anything
and so far all devices are unrooted stock
my connection is like this
ISP ---> level one router ----> switch ---> wifi transmitter ---> xperias
ive already tried to change transmitter protocol and stuff on the phone but no success
hjalp
Don't know the solution sorry.... But faced the same issue of my 2 galaxy note were in close proximity to each other.... One would connect and the other won't.....
I would try going to other room and then see if you can connect..... Not sure though sorry

Well I suggest use 5ghz instead of 2.4 less noises :silly: (solution suitable for Xperia z only )
1) using the transmitter will cut the bandwidth in half .
2)Make sure you keep the transmitter in about 25% range !
3) make sure that the transmitter are correctly paired
4) make sure the DHCP is on in your router
5) if you internet is cut off or limited connectivity then suggested solution is here _> http://www.wikihow.com/Refresh-Your-IP-Address-on-a-Windows-Computer
while all your devices are "connected"
I would not recommend using transmitter is not a efficient solution ! try to connect directly to the router
after some trouble to get access to the access point (forgot login creds )
ive changed the settings so it uses 2.4 and 5ghz and now it should work
(tested once and 2 devices connected)
thx marco

Well, it kind of difficult to say,
First I have attached for you a manual for your router http://download.level1.com/level1/manual/FBR-1430_UM.pdf
I suggest you read page 14 your setting should look exactly as in manual
You setting in computer should look like on the page 20
Furthermore look at the page 49 and make sure your screen look like
If the problem come back please post me a log please
Alternatively
follow page 5 - Factory reset!!
That is all what I can do :fingers-crossed:
Btw did you consider upgrading your router since it is kind old, (2007 release to market) is 7 years now. Over 7 year period technology does change a..a..a..a..a..lot. Meaning buying something fresh ??
Well I'm not the network administrator so it's not up to me. I could get new router but I would prolly hear bout spending money for stuff I don't really need .
Maybe there is a problem with router and cough torrents cough I know my router is slow cleaning dead ip's and sometimes if I over do my downloads gets stuck and I have to reboot it

Why you didn't tell me that in the first place, That's explains, Just reduce the swarm connection that shoud solve your problems! In your torrent clients. Once the torrent exceed the number of opened connection then the router will crash. Since your router is old and cannot coupe with the aggressive torrents client.
Your swam connection should not exceed more 25-30 for optimal work. Sir you want torrents -then buy your self a cisco EA4500.This router handle up to 250 swarm! (tested)
Simples
I am "not" an expert in torrents , This forum is for mobiles
I usually keep less than five but sometimes demand is higher.
Funny thing is this problem wasn't there when we had neo and s2 and later XT and neo
