[Q] Can't access network share - FIXED

I'm trying to access a network share on a Win7 machine on my home network.
I was able to access it a couple of days ago but I'm now receiving an error that says:
java.lang.RuntimeException: Plain text passwords are disabled
I'm using Astro when I get this error.
I've tried using ES File Explorer but it fails to load the network share too.
I tried finding this error on this forum and on the web but can't find anything that seems related. Can anyone offer any help?

If it helps I'm using stock JVU.

Okay, problem fixed...
I uninstalled/reinstalled Astro and can now access my shares again

Real fix for problem:
1. Reboot to CWM.
2. Go to Advanced -> Fix permissions.
3. Reboot to Android, problem gone.

I'm not rooted, and I experience this same problem from time to time accessing a Windows 7 share in ES File Explorer on my Nexus 7 2013 edition. A reboot of the PC seems to fix it, but I'd prefer not to have to resort to it.

That's weird, I haven't had this problem for a really long time.
Sorry I can't help with it.

================================
That message indicates a permissions problem on the target Windows computer.
1. Make sure the folder/file is actually shared (Check in the computer management console)
2. Make sure you have give explicit permissions to access it. Even if only one folder does not have the permissions, you will still get the message.In the shares section of the management console double click the desired share and check the permissions. Add your (login) ID to the permissions tab if necessary and tick the appropriate boxes.

Nah it was a permissions problem in Android.
Refer to my post three above yours where I posted how I fixed the problem.

Hello, just to add a bit of info here. I got the same error on 3 different Android devices simultaneously, so I figured fixing permissions on all of them won't work. What worked is restarting Server service on my Windows 7 x64 to which they tried to access. I also found info that this problem shows up periodically, so maybe setting up a Scheduled Task which will restart this service from time to time would also be beneficial.

I had to do the same thing. Very annoying. Other computers work fine, just Android stops.

I finally found the permanent solution.
Set the following registry key to ’1′:
HKLM\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Control\Session Manager\Memory Management\LargeSystemCache
and set the following registry key to ’3′:
HKLM\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Services\LanmanServer\Parameters\Size

You have to get the correct APN (Access Point Name) for your provider to make data/MMS to work, you should not require the XT883 firmware. Just try google with your SIM provider followed by APN settings.. such as "Orange UK APN Settings" or check their website, or give them a call for the correct APN settings. Some SIMs have the APNs locked into the SIM, some of them do not include APNs (You might check a phone from the SIM provider for the APN).
When you find the correct settings, go to Settings > Wireless & Network settings > Mobile Networks > Access Point Names
Create a new APN and enter the info you found. Also check Battery & Data Manager > Data delivery to ensure data is enabled.

Tap the menu softkey at the APN screen and tap add APN.

I personally use MavRom (Maverick Rom) version 4.0, as version 4.5 has a battery drain issue with the overclock script. It's based on 906 with modifications and tweaks.

so i was going through this thread http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1406812 for flashing xt883 radio on my phone as the reception is very bad i had a few doubts
1) do you connect your phone to the pc while doing this
2) do you download root explorer on your phone from the app store and are there any free ones
3) and how do you go about doing this ( Use root explorer to push the build.prop into the system folder )
i am very sorry for being such a noob, its my first android phone

On Stock and Blur based roms, there's a little line in the build.prop that Verizon snuck in.. that makes any GSM network appear to have bad reception (only 1~2 bars) but if you check under status, the reception is actually good. You can fix that by editing this line in build.prop;
ro.mot.phonemode.vzwglobalphone=1
Change the 1 to 0 and save, then reboot, this should fix the 'reception issue'
A free root browser would be JRummy's Root browser lite, or ES File Explorer (you can enable root browsing in settings).
Build.prop is in /system
IF YOU INSIST ON FLASHING XT883 (Only required for using AT&T/T-Mobile/Other USA GSM networks)
Open a root browser; copy the build.prop you have to the SDCard or somewhere safe. Copy the build.prop (after you edit the line I mentioned before on the PC, you can use notepad). After you put it in /system MAKE SURE YOU FIX THE PERMISSIONS. Most root browsers just long-press build.prop, then tap permissions (ES is Properties > permissions) Check only Read (on all three, user, other, etc) and Write on Owner ONLY.
Then use the fastboot instructions to flash the XT883 radio. THIS WILL BREAK VERIZON CDMA.

TUTORIAL: Fix For No 3G or APN Settings

First of all, please tell me and I'll move this Thread if it is in the wrong section. This is a fix for the problem I faced many many times while changing ROMS, and it actually made me stay on Pillama for a very long time, this is because that was the only one where my APN settings worked/stayed.
So if you have recently changed to a different ROM and you don't have 3G and your APN settings won't stay, here's the fix.
This works providing you have a restorable backup of a ROM with Working 3G and you have an external SD Card.
Boot into Recovery. You can do this via Rom Manager (Downloadable from the PlayStore)
Restore to the Rom which your Mobile Data (3G) works on.
After you have rebooted and you're back on your ROM with working 3G download Root Browser. This is available from the PlayStore.
Navigate to your System Directory.
Look for a folder named 'etc', and go into it.
Scroll down until you see 'apns-conf.xml' hold down on it and select copy.
Navigate to your External SD Card and Paste the file somewhere memorable.
Go into Rom Manager and clear all your caches (Dalvik Cache, Wipe Cache, Format System, clear data) just basically remove everything.
Do a clean install of the ROM that you couldn't get 3G to work on.
Once you're up and running go into the PlayStore and download Root Browser.
Go onto Root Browser, and navigate to your System Directory/folder and into 'etc'.
Delete the 'apns-conf.xml' that is in there.
Navigate to the External SD and copy the 'apns-conf.xml' from there.
Go back to System/Etc and paste the file in there.
Reboot your device.
Go to Settings > Look under Wireless & Networks, underneath Data Usage you should see More... > now select Mobile Networks > Access Point Names > press the menu tab in the bottom right > select Reset to Default. Select your carriers one! Congratulations!
I'm just speaking from personal experience, this problem caused hours of trouble for me and I want to help you guys, so please don't hate if it doesn't work for you! Thanks guys

It's working but only in situation when APN setting disappeared after changing ROM. When phone can't read correctly MNC and MCC codes from the beginning even editing apns-conf.xml and changing codes wont help. I studied this issue few days and didn't find fix for it. There are few carriers in Europe which can't be used in our phones and for now only changing SIM Card for newer version can help.

Okay, just thought I'd give back to the community writing about my experiences with the phone, I'm only 13 though so my knowledge is pretty limited.

Don't worry, I'm not complaining. I just add little correct for Your tutorial cause it was pain in the a** for me and even what You described wont help if You have fu**** up SIM card.

Network speed display EMU 3.1

Hello!
I want to switch on the network connectivity speed display. It was in the settings panel earlier, but now it disappeared.
Or maybe not completely. If I search in the settings I can see that the option exists, but when I click on it, it's hidden... (See the PIC attached)
I'm guessing there is a option in a deeper level where I can set it.
Does anyone know a solution? My phone is rooted, so if it requires editing some config files, I'm all for it.
Thanks.

Mines the same except I got no root.. how did you do yours?

I managed to root with the recovery version.
More details here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/ascend-p7/general/guide-root-b803-recovery-version-t3157477

Thanks for the reply ... I will downgrade mine to 2.3 and root it and then upgrade again if that setting becomes available again ill let you know

So i have rooted my device via your method and after reinstalling lolipop i found that the setting was stil missing. I however noticed that if you installed the lolipop update from the vodacom version posted here (http://forum.xda-developers.com/ascend-p7/general/huawei-p7-l10c02b817-android-5emui3-1-t3207363) it was there again. Unfortunatly for me there is some bugs in that update, there is no keybord app. I then started searching for a way to edit the system wide prefrence database file, where i also found the entry located inside the settings.db file , but it is not possible to edit it without corrupting the data for further use by the phone.
here are some screenshots from my findings

@Unified21 @DomeNet
with root edit data/cust/prop/local.prop
find this line:
ro.config.hw_hideNetworkSpeed=true
and change it to
ro.config.hw_hideNetworkSpeed=false
reboot
Now there is a new setting entry in display section

Great it works!
Thank you!
