wifi problems

hey guys after the wimax radio update and after that broke it, I restarted over agian and now everything but wifi works. It turns on but never connects to a network
anyone else have this issue

Ok, I saved yours for last. Lol, been trying to think about what could cause this. Could you post info on the Rom you are using, and maybe the recovery. Just some more info in general?

I am used amon recovery to flash my radios after the caukins bad wimax radio. My current rom is damage's lastest one

OK, so I was looking at the damages thread and it seems someone else had a problem with their wifi. Just go to the damage control thread and search wifi and you should see the post.
the person said to make sure that both 4g and wifi were not both on at the same time. I dont know if that applies to you if you use 4g. But anywho, someone mentioned it could be the bad radio update if you said you applied that one. In that case, someone mentioned that using the starting over guide may work.
I would search the thread and see if that situation is similar to yours and follow the instructions to start over. I will see if I can find some more info.

[Q] HELP : After flashing leedroid ROM i lost my data connection

I've checked the other threads and can't find an answer.
Basically i've flashed leedroid's ROM and now i don't have a data connection. It shows connected and all but it's just not connected at all.
I didn't flash a kernel after i installed the ROM, could that be a reason why?
I sincerely hope someone would be able to help me with this. This forum is absolutely wonderful with their help and i hope someone can help me with this..

Did you check your APN ??

Alright APN is done, thanks! But it connects very lousily, roughly 90% less than before. I noticed quite a few people get this issue. Is there something i missed out? A kernel or something?

Did you also flash the recomended radio?

GPS issue

Hi guys
I have gps issue. In order for me to get gps work and locks, I have to turn wifi.
Now I have el29 rom but I tried it on ek02 and ics rom it was the samething.
On my htc evo whenever I turned gps on, it would be locked right away without turning wifi on.
Is it the problem that I only have or you have it too!

There are several threads about this already..

Idk if this helps... But many people lose gps when flashing an ics leaked rom.. I had it happen to me.. This is what I did to fix it, that worked.. I flashed a Gingerbread rom, got a lock, left gps on, then flashed back to an ics rom. This is the trick many are doing that works.
You can try getting a gps lock, leaving gps on, then flash another gingerbread rom. See if the problem is still there after you boot up....

Try attached file.
1. back up your existing file \system\etc\gps.conf
2. unzip and place the attached file to same location
3. reboot
4. check your GPS connection
5. if no changes, then you can place back the original file to same place
For me, GPS worked great but I'm using this modified gps.conf file for my phone.

My problem is I can get gps locked but I have to turn wifi on in order to get gps locked.
do you have this problem?
by the way Im on stock el29 rom

My friend honestly your issue is not isolated as well as the numerous amounts of threads you could possibly look in for answers. I understand to you the simple thing would be to just post a question but try to take the time to look around. Any question most of us have usually has been asked prior and answered.
I have listed a few links that may or may not help you but either way it is a starting point for you. Do some homework and do some testing... change kernels, change radios, try different roms, flash zip files, use GPS Status, try FastFix on the market... In other words before you post next time, talk to ya boy Google for some advice

If none of this helps then wipe all and reload rom since leaving wifi on should give you a better lock

Based on what you said, there are high chances that your phone is not getting the enough signal to search your location. The same thing happens whenever we try the speed test. this app try to find the closest server from my current location, but if the signal is week, then it fails. But once it detects the location thru wifi or GPS, it works fine.
In your case, I think your previous htc evo has some different gps.conf information. When you check it, there are several information regrading the GPS servers. So, if you want, you can extract the same file from your htc evo phone and inject to your new one. Again, I think it will work like a charm.
For my file attached before, it's up to you. If you do not find any other workaround, you can try it.

Help! Unable to flash GPS?

Noob here. Would post in the relevant thread, but I'm unable to. So here are the details:
I recently updated my phone with [ROM] [Team D.I.R.T] [Jelly Bean] UNOFFICIAL Codename Android 3.3.1 found at http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1850888
While I was experimenting with the rom, I discovered that my GPS was not working. After a quick search I found that other people were having the same problem (http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=30677489&postcount=46) and seemed to work for others successfully.
I downloaded the Qualcomm Vision GPS Driver v1.1 and flashed it. It says the flash loaded successfully but GPS still doesn't seem to work.
At this point I'm at a loss because the fix seems to work for others but not for me and I feel like I'm overlooking something simple. Anyone have any ideas?

Wrong section please post in q and a next time, but to answer your question, look here

Thanks. I actually saw that post and was already half way thru reloading my stock rom by the time you posted. GPS worked on stock but unfortunately after following all the steps it didn't work on the custom rom. Really baffled on what I'm doing wrong. Going to give it another go. If I run into other issues I'll make sure to post in the proper area.

Not trying to discourage you, but sometimes things just aren't going to work between a rom you're using and your phone. The roms will play different with your phone compared to someone else's even tho they might be the same model.
There are some ics gps fixes that are flash able here on xda. Run a search and flash, it could work. If you can find them PM me your email. I think I still have one saved on my computer. Goodluck.

Thanks for the offer, but I was finally able to get GPS working late last night. No idea what I did differently, but the third time was the charm.

[Q] Samsung Galaxy S3 - NO data! Help!

Hey guys! I'm sorry if this has been answered already, but i have a T-mobile GS3. I got tired of waiting for the JB OTA update, so i decided to root my phone and try out CM10. I followed the instructions on how to do the one click method using MSkip's Toolkit. I made a full Nandroid backup thru ClockworkMod before and thought we'd be good. After trying CM10 I wanted to restore my backup. After doing so, I have NO DATA connectivity thru the phone. It worked fine on CM10 initially, but now, no matter what ROM I use or backup i restore to, it still wont connect. All i have is EDGE network.
All i want to do now is use TriangleAway, unroot, and OTA update to stock JB for now. Strangely enough my app's that are already on the phone WILL update using EDGE network, but wont allow me to access the PlayStore. I'm in over my head now, so I'm asking for help. It's been over a week now searching thru forums, but i cant find any solutions. Geez...I'm a NOOB...i know.
I dont have an EFS backup.
Can ANYBODY help me out, PLEASE?

I could keep finding more for you, but this should suffice. You should've backed up more then just the rom itself... hope you get it back.

Try switching Airplane mode on and off, doesn't work? Try going to settings mobile networks and Data connection, check and uncheck few times, it worked for me

Go To settings -> About Device -> Status
Do you have an "IMEI"? Is it 14 digits or so? or does it say "UNKNOWN?

IMEI restored...
Hey guys! good news/bad news. I got the IMEI restored to my phone!
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?p=29514187
the link above has all the resources on how i did it.
Now that the IMEI is restored i am still working on the EDGE only issue. I'm researching it now. i'll keep you posted.
any ideas/suggestions are always appreciated! thanks fellas

UPDATE:
I've been searching the forums for a few hours now and there are many links, but none seem very conclusive.
Does anybody have any solid directions/tips? Im glad to have my IMEI back, but want my DATA back, dangit.
This is driving me crazy!
Much thanks for any help!

did you go back through the hidden menu after all is done and set USB settings back to MTP + ADB?

I did change those settings back, mt3g. i did find one post that seems helpful...
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1801997
however, it seems quite complicated and has alot of disclaimers...
im willing to try it out, but seeing as how im uneducated enough to have gotten myself into this problem in the FIRST place...im not so confident. haha.
are you familiar with this method? does it work?

Reflash your phone back to stock via ODIN. Confirm data is back and then go back to toying with your phone.
If data is not back, you're probably SOL.

I just went through the same thing. Use qpst to backup qnc file (once you are sure your imei is back restored) to desktop. Then use qnc generator to open that backup and save it with a different name to desktop. Then open qpst and go to restore and choose the new qnc that was generated and restore it. Flash the modem of your choice and voila. Back in action. Working perfect now. 4G is around 7-9mb in the New Orleans area where I am.

Hello, I'm not sure if this is the right forum to post this in but haven't been unable to pinpoint my problem. I have a s3 on boost mobile rooted and running custom rom. My daily rom is dandroid. By the way, all these roms are for sprint. On dandroid (4.1 android), I have no data issues whatsoever. When I flash the collective (4.3 android) I have data when I first reboot and if I don't turn on wifi data will work fine until I turn on wifi. By the way, wifi works good too but when I turn wifi off, it somehow breaks the data connection. I have no data, nothing.Sometimes a reboot will turn data back on, other times no. I also get the error when it first reboots where it says something to the effect androidprocess.com has stopped. I go into settings-mobile network-network operator and comes up error while searching for networks. I'm thinking possibly that this error with not being able to find a network is somehow related to the issues I'm having. Once I turn wifi off, I cannot get data to work again. I have tried this on my home wifi and a open network at work and same issue. I have communicated with one of the rom developers and gave him a logcat of when this issue happens but he is unable to isolate the problem. I also flashed dirtyunicorns (after doing full wipe), another 4.3 rom and and I have the exact same issues with wifi breaking data when I turn it off. After this, I have gone back to my backup of dandroid (4.1 rom) and I have no data issues anymore. I can turn wifi on and off no problem and it doesn't affect my data connection. I beginning to think somehow its related to the 4.3 version but this is unconfirmed. If anyone has any suggestion, it would be greatly appreciated. Thanks
