Serious Issue with my phone(WIFI and SCREEN)

So I have no idea how this came to happen but i am currently having issues with my phones wifi. Each time i turn on the phones WIFI and connect to any network it kills both the 3G data and the WIFI data, making it so i have to reflash a new rom to use data again. Another issue is that when i turn off my screen if i am connected to the wifi it will not turn the screen back on unless I do a battery pull. Lastly if i go into settings to try to turn off WIFI i get a force close and have to reflash to get my phone running again.
Things I've tried
1.Flashed New Rom
2. Flashed New Radios and Kernels
3.Connected to multiple wifi hotspots
4. Used a RUU to reset to factory settings
5. Root and Unroot
6. Tried new SD card and Battery

Do me a favor and take a screenshot of your "about phone" information. Also, which recovery are you using? When did all of this start? Now when connected to a wifi network, it temporarily disconnects your 3G data. That is normal. You also stated that it disconnects your wifi data. Please explain?

When i connect to wifi it makes it so no data works. Ill post a screenshot of my phone.If i connect to any wifi hotspot and try to connect to the internet nothing connects it fails everytime no matter if it use 3g or wifi after that until i reflash my rom

You don't, by chance, have an adblocker built into the rom you're using, do you?

I was using CM7
I have tried almost every rom and even used the RUU from sprint to bring it back to default and rerooted it,i'm using hardware 002 and wondering if its possible i messed up my wifi when i used the 802.11n patch a while back also do you think flashing someone elses nanroid could fix it?

Also when i hit wifi it will get stuck saying turning on and wont allow me to do anything on the phone until it is reset

I do not recommend flashing a nandroid from another device, however, I do recommend flashing a different kernel. Kernels can have an effect on wifi, the camera and other things.

i flashed a few different kernels

Well, you may have to call Sprint and have them troubleshoot from their end.

Wifi wont reconnect

I was on Virtuous Unity when this problem started, if I reboot the router I can connect to it (this isnt a router problem, trust me), however every other device in the house is not experiencing this problem. Just my phone, and I cannot connect to any other wireless networks unless its the first boot on a new rom. Help? Ive changed radios and roms and cant figure this out

Sorry, I don't quite understand. Do you have to reboot your router to make the phone re-connect or do you have to make a "first boot on a new rom" to make both connect?

[Q] wi-fi not working with custom roms - possible Temp fix

I have searched for this for a long time and have found nothing on it
when I install anything other than stock I can not connect to wi-fi
it says the signal is great but will not connect to any - tries to connect - says it is obtaining IP address then fails
I have gone back and installed stock modems but still the same thing - I have tried several different ROMS including paranoid and CM
when I go back to stock it works great
any Ideas?
possibly fixed - still testing
typed in *#197328640#
hit menu and chose wi-fi
it brings up the wi-fi info and an off-on button -wi-fi power saver mode - click off and it connected as soon as i did that
not sure why but i will play with it some more - i am running a stock MA5 7105 based rom
pa3 now works - had to go into settings - wi-fi- advance - keep wi-fi on during sleep - turn to never then back to always - it connected right away
its the wi-fi power saver mode that i turned off and it has to be redone at each reboot
now that I have figured out that its a problem with the wi-fi power saving mode - and that it must be reset each reboot - anyone have any ideas on how to fix it?
not sure if a script could be ran automaticaly at boot to reset it so that i would not have to go in and do it manually each time
I have no Idea even how to write one

What kernels are you using?
So far Perseus Kernel has been the most reliable and snappiest kernel but will not work with CM10 or AOSP. Perseus and Jedi roms have been great combos. I didn't like the Saber kernel as I had issues with the 5 ghz band, as well as in and out Wi-Fi connectivity.
Today I'm going back to AOSP hoping they've added some features since the unofficial days, combined with the FORCE Kernel.
ALSO: Make sure you fully wipe your device when changing roms. It's not common for most people, but I format every partition when flashing. I have run into way fewer problems with that approach, but make sure you don't accidently reboot your device before flashing. You'll have to odin flash at that point.

I think I know the Answer to your issue!.. Check out the Threads I stared, by clicking on my profile , in the SGS4G Forum..
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1957920
Or try these two things.
1)If you are using WPS Connection Make sure you are holding Your WPS button for at least ten seconds before releasing it to ensure you "have it scanning Your Devise".. it had been so long for me between stock and custom I "Thought it only took 2 seconds..
2) AND MOST LIKELY YOUR ISSUE.. If you were using a "Password" and entering it forget entering it. The "Password" is no longer "working"
Instead. Click on your Wifi Icon on your laptop or PC. Then Left click Your Wifi Connection. Now Right click Properties. Now CHECK the box under network security key (you will have to be an Administrator to do this) and you will see YOUR WIFI SECURITY KEY ie (aed566fgd1cbi34hjk77i) and input that in as Your Password instead of the "old" Password you had which could have been your dogs name or your first cars name..
Sorry for the lack of technical directions..
Your password (I think) is no longer what you set it as. IT IS as what shows in your WIFI Properties Network Security Key on your Laptop/PC.
Let me know please.

not looking for wi-fi calling - trying to figure why the wi-fi will not connect to my home wi-fi when installing custom roms I know the WEP password by heart and have tried several Roms - stock works - custom does not - I always do a clean install - I have had several androids - all rooted and find a clean install tends to work better - its not something installed later (apps) as it will not log in when i am setting up at first start up or after rebooting
I shut down wi-fi security on my router - still can not connect to it when open - tried 2 different custom roms
I am going to try a stock based custom rom and see if the problem continues - all the ones i tried are 4.2 ports or based on at&t roms
Frosty - based off stock LL4 works
JediX - based off 7105 rom does not work for me

none of the "stock" 7105 roms from teshxx are working for me - they install great - everything works but can not connect to any wi-fi

While the phone is trying to connect to WiFi, unplug the router and plug it right back in, WiFi should allow you to connect when it's done resetting

Re: [Q] wi-fi not working with custom roms
Could be a problem that started at root. I would odin back to stock reroot then try again. If it was settings or user error you would be making the same mistakes on stock roms. But you say it works on stock roms so it would seem that's not the case.

I'm serious though... for years now, whenever I try to connect to WiFi after not being on it for a set amount of time, I'll try to connect and it will get stuck at Obtaining IP... All I do is unplug the power cable from the back of my router (not the modem you get from the ISP) for like 1 second, plug it back in, and viola, devices connect perfectly

Same issue for me. Nothing is working for me.

ok - Odin back to stock - fresh start no root - wi-fi works great -root with CF-auto root - all good triangle away to remove root count
clean install of Paranoid 3.0 - wi-fi does not work at set-up - will not connect
clean install of CM nightlies - wi-fi still not working - install LL4 stock modem - still nothing
teshxx MA5 - same thing
went back to LL4 based Frosty - wi-fi connects right away
wi-fi connects with any true stock based roms but no ports or ASOP based ones
I don't even get past initial set-up - I can tell right away if it is working

the router is not the problem as I have tried getting on both closed and open systems. I used Odin to o back to stock unrooted as well as to apply CF auto root. Its weird - i have been rooting my android phones since my first mytouch and I am about stumped lol

antivirus is off - what i dont get is why it works every time when running a stock rom or even a stock based rom - even if i go directly from a non working costom rom to a stock based rom - it works - i don't have to odin back to stock to get it to work - just flash a stock based rom and wi-fi starts working

I know this sucks but I would use zedomax way of rooting on his website. Then flash a rom from a fresh download.

I am having the same problem tried everything for 2 days now I have PA3 tried every option that I know of and one thing worked for a short time. I toggled the moble network off rebooted and wifi came on updated mt apps rebooted and it was off like a &^*@ tease! I am frustrated as hell because every phone I own is running PA3. My T-Mobile phone is just for podcast while im driving and I only download them via wifi! before I leave to work. I dont even use as a phone. I went to stock and have full wifi, rooted and have wifi updated to pa3 and no wifi. every costom rom I use I get no wifi unless I go to stock. is there a newer modem I should flash. I tried everything else and I don't care if I even cant make a call on it I just want wifi. Ad no the unpluging router did not work and all 5 of my other phones with modded roms work and 2 with pa3. 10 seconds till I throw my phone through the window and I am at the pont that I don't care that I miss spellled everything I typed

All Rom - Problem with Wifi

activating the wifi goes in and never active - tried all rom same thing

Need lots more info, I assume you are rooted as you say you have tried all ROMs, can you clarify, ROMs based of 2.2 and 2.3 and 4.x ? Have you tried different radios, have you attempted to go back to stock fully? Have you checked if its hardware related maybe bad connection @ WiFi antenna? Do you when this started? Have you tried different modems or does your phone not see any? Please give as much info as possible if you want accurate help

[Q] wifi scan not working after 4.2.2 official update

ok, so here is my problem,
i was running 4.1.2 official, "Everything" worked fine, and i mean everything, it was a brand new nexus,
then i unlock bootloader, root, flash PA3.0, flash PA GAPPS, flash trinity kernel,
"Everything" still working, no issues,
i wanted to update my nexus with most current bootloader and baseband and anything else that came with the stock 4.2.2, and then reflash PA3.1 and new franco kernel and now my wifi scan doesnt work, no networks show up, but yet if i manually enter a network, my wifi is working, but still no scan results...
im lost, did 4.2.2 borf my wifi scanning somehow? or is it something google "added"

not one reply..
come one guys, someone has to know something

Actually, I recently noticed something similar. I flashed ak stock jdq with the WiFi 3.4 drivers and noticed I cannot see any networks on WiFi analyzer, even though I'm connected. Anybody else notice this?

Update: I flashed back to the stock kernel with 3.0 wifi drivers and i can scan again with farproc's wifi analyzer, so I know wifi scanning works on 4.2.2.

its good to know that im not alone here,
i dont recall what i did, or how it happened, but i dont think ive changed anything in my setup,
i still dont have scan, but yet still if i manually add a network, it will connect, it also shows my unlocked, open dd-wrt router, but it will not show anyone else's locked routers around me, but yet my nexus 7 is showing all kinds of wifi points

I'd bet it has something to do with your custom config. Does the kernel you're on use the 3.0 kernel wifi drivers, or the 3.4 drivers?

not a clue, and wouldnt know where to look

In the kernel's thread. I think if you tried stock, your scanning would work fine, but it seems just a small price to pay.

im using franco kernel #366
