So with very few details, I would first eliminate networking issues, b/c I would think something could be happening like the ppp connection is coming up but it has the same IP range as the wifi connection and so traffic is not going out the ppp interface but the wifi interface. That's just a first guess though, without more info I couldn't say more. --Donald On Sat, Feb 11, 2012 at 9:58 AM, Chad Bailey <[email protected]> wrote: > I'm trying to help a guy who's making a custom rom for the galaxy > prevail.
