Ever since going from MyFroyo RC4 to RC5 & RC6 (and even the Cyanogen RC01, I have had problems with my wifi.
I am posting here to see if anyone else is experiencing these problems, and to find out what changed between RC4 and RC5.
I have no cell service at my house, so when I flash a new ROM, I need to leave the house and go to an area where I get service before I can connect to the Google Servers to set up my device. When on Wifi, I also have problems downloading Google items in the market (such as Google Search Bar) and can't even use Google.com to search for anything. It times out. I can, however, use other websites and download other items (once I've set up my device remotely).
If I am setting this up over Edge or 3G, there are never any problems.
If I re-flash back to MyFroyo RC4, I can use my wifi with no problem to do everything I need.
I really love the updates since RC4 - but am worried that I'll be left in the dust since all the builds since RC4 have had this issue for me. :-/
I'm in the same boat and experience the same WiFi issues.

I've never had a single Wifi issue, although I never really tested on RC1 too much. I'm currently running Eugene's newest CM6, have you tried that one yet?

supposed to be a cyanogenmod issue though i havent experienced it myself (i also have horrible service 1-2 bars edge max) using wifi everything loads up fast and everything downloads just fine! but if i were you i would try the nightlies they are supposed to have fixed the problem by now if im not mistaken
I've experienced a lot of this too. Marker downloads were pretty much not happening for me, no matter what - Wifi or Data. On data, it would download but never install. On Wifi no images in the market would load and no download would activate. I also couldn't use Google.com or sign into Gmail via the browser or other Google services. I did a lot of searching and heard it could be Google.
What I did to fix it... I did some nandroids, I did some wipes and updates and complete formats, etc. What I finally think I had was a problem in my packages.xml file where so many programs were mismatched due to Froyo's ability to use apps2fat32. I think at some point some nandroiding I had done,etc screwed up my package assignments and then I just fresh installed and DO NOT BACK DATA/SETTINGS UP WITH GOOGLE! haha, I honestly think that had a lot to do with it also...Go into your Privacy and turn auto restore off, turn backup data off, then reset your device with a wipe of it all and such, boot up and don't select backup with Google. I've had no more issues really.

I've actually tried the new nightly's and still have the same problems. I've also tried completely wiping it and starting from scratch- and made sure not to back up w/ GOOGLE servers- but to no avail.
I wonder if anyone on here can figure out what changed between MyFroyo RC4 and RC5 that could cause this - seems something is blocking the Google Synch. I've also experienced the problems mentioned above regarding the market items not downloading, no images, etc. Just seems weird that it worked completely fine before RC5, which came out around the same time as the Cyanogen 6 Slide RC1
From my personal experience I'd have to say that wifi is slightly bugged. Drops randomly and occassionally won't detect my network when other Android devices will (any encryption, which is for suckers anyway )
At least I know I'm not the only one w/ this problem. I couldn't find a cyanogen defect for this issue.
Same here. I have no wifi. My g1 connects just fine and my hd2 but on the slide its a no go. Ive tried everything but eventually just gave up. Im using Eugenes Ota update. Im not sure if its just the slide in general but my wifi doesn't work period. It'll connect but if i load up youtube or try the web I get a no connection error. Its very peculiar. Incredibly peculiar.
I am having the same issue. I noticed people talked about it with CM6 rc1 but not everyone was having the issue and the subject died off. Ive tried reloading, wiping everything, htcclay's new version but nothing seems to help. The wifi is just strange will work for a page or two than fail to load or loads half way. Also tried on several different networks. Does anyone know if the driver is the same in eugenes as in these later ones?
After wiping and keeping a good eye on everything, the issue I have with Wifi and the browser is that sometimes it just hangs about 75% page load and doesn't really change unless I leave the phone go for a bit and wait for it to load.
Downloaded Opera Mini (only browser I could find that doesn't use the native browser). With Opera, I've actually hadn't had any loading issues or anything weird like that happen. So many a possible partial-bypass is using another browser? It helped me, just thought I'd share.

Same bugginess happening here, too. Iffy, at best. Other than that and of course the non-necessary FN and CAPS light, this is the only issue, anymore, that I can see.

Thanks for the update - I look forward to the day when I can use the wifi AND a camera MyFroyo RC4 is still working well for me, but I miss my camera
Does anyone know if there is any headway in fixing this issue?

Before I get n00b bashed, I did "Search this thread" for the answer... (and other forums) Maybe I am just too n00b? Anyway, here goes.
Given kudos on this ROM already (Syndicate Rom: Frozen...anything is better than stock Froyo, but this is just AMAZING). But I was having some troubles with receiving incoming calls. Caller always got "All circuits busy" Or "cannot complete call as dialed".
Soooo, I wiped and reflashed. Tried to make a call (before restoring titanium backups) it worked, but my girl was still having troubles calling me...
So I restored most of my titanium backup (stuff that mattered?) and when trying to call out, I get "com.android.phone stopped working" and had to forcibly close it. So, I specifically restored phone 1.0 and contacts and all that from my titanium Backup, and still got the same issue. I am currently backing up stuff to my computer off the phone, going to format the card and do a fresh flash and see if that helps.
Thing to note, my account IS linked with Google Voice. Could that be an issue? And if not, is anyone else having this issue? Seriously the ONLY problem I am having with this rom. Thanks, guys!
Edit. Wipe and reflash did not help, however the phone is running MUCH better! Still not getting phone calls, though. Data works, MMS, etc, spotty 3G acceptance, though. Starting to get a bit aggravating. ANY help would be GRAND.
*sigh* think I got it. Flashed a different modem (EC03?) and it did not work, then flashed BACK to EC05 (AFTER the fresh flash) and it seems to have rectified the issue. HUGE thanks to QBKING77 (if that is his name on here) for the AWESOME video tuts and great linking to the site. I will update if call status changes. But I would still be interested in knowing if anyone else was having the same issues?
Sorry no one ever got to you for help. The Q&A section doesn't exactly have dedicatedhelpers. =/
I'll be trying to help this section more. So please do update if it comes again.

No worries. My girl and I gave it another go this morning, and all went well. Also received all my calld last night with no issue. Definitely made my girl a happy camper. Lol. Now I just have to calibrate my battery when I get to work, and all will be golden!
Sent from my SPH-D700 using XDA Premium App
the only thing I could think of is did you "freeze" any apps in titanium LOL yes I froze the wrong thing once and got the same error's I think it was the voice mail stuff seeing i went to gvoice didn't think I needed it but I did.
Nope. All apps were left unfrozen, just because I am too n00b for that chit, lol.
However, I flashed the EC05, and all incoming calls (90%) seem to be coming to me. Odd part is, it SHOULD be going to my voicemail if it cannot be dialed. I am thinkin Sprint is to blame, and I need to have it out with them.
*sigh*
Oh well, everything else is tits... Just waiting EAGERLY for 1.2... Chompin at the bit and all that!
Might get bored tonight and flash back to stock... see if I have the same problem.
Question. Let's say I want to "image" my phone the way it is right now (kinda like Norton Ghost used to do?) Flash back to stock, yadda yadda... Is there a way to RESTORE my phone as is (every byte) back with clockwork? Or is that what Nandroid does? Because if I flash back to Stock, play for a bit (see if it is sprint's fault) and want to flash back, I will have to reconvert back to EXT4... using clockwork 3.0, should I just use the .zip (.img?) that nandroid creates instead of the base ROM?
If any of that makes sense, kudos will be given for a clear answer, lol
just loaded Emerald Envy 2.0....
Absolutely love the ROM, but I can no longer receive calls. I've tried the wipe (x3), re-downloaded the ROM, no joy. no combination that I can think of. Have tried all the latest modems (EC05/EF02), no joy.
I did notice that the phone log does log that a call was received, but it never rings or brings up the phone application.
I also tried flashing the Genocide 1.1 kernal. no joy.
I'm about to go back to my Midnight ROM that I Nandroid'd earlier today before I started down this road. Really hope I don't have to, i'm hooked on this ROM!
Any help would be greatly appreciated!

My errors seem to be different than yours. Mine would not show up in my call log at all, nor would the calls go to voicemail. Are your callers able to leave messages?
Mine turned out to be a sprint/phone issue. Their networks have been all kinds of crappy in my area since january. Sucks, but all I could do was call, complain, and get credits.
My new epic seems to be working fine, and sprint seems to have fixed their issues in my area. I was running 1.2 up until last night with no issues callin/receiving. I only updated to the latest GB leak because it is hella stable and netflix works. Just seems to have some 3d issues. But I do not game much on here.
Keep troubleshooting, and give 1.2 a whirl. While your problem is not ROM related, I am very confident your experience (and battery) will be much better.
Oh. And call Sprint. Complain and whine. You will get credit on your bill. Lol.
Sent from my Epic. Which is better than yours.
Ok, I'm not sure what's going on or how to fix this. Yesterday, I couldn't connect to the market, it kept telling me it was a network error. I could still browse the internet no problem. Then I notice that Facebook wasn't updating, so it is a connection issue. It's weird that I could still browse the internet and Google+ would load my streams as well as upload photos that were taken. I decided to do a full wipe (data/cache/dalvik) and re-install Oxygen2.1.6.
The re-install went fine, but now I still cannot connect to the Market so my apps aren't re-installing. Any ideas what might fix this since a full wipe didn't help?
Nothing had changed between the connection working and it not working. The phone wasn't rebooted, nothing changed in my APN settings either. Connection bars are all green.
Everything works fine when I'm connected to wifi.
*Restoring a previous backup doesn't work either and whenever I try to re-flash 2.1.6 I get a bootloop. So confused.
Nobody knows?
Really don't want to flash the RUU and re-root/s-off again if I don't have to. Just seems weird to me that this was working one evening then suddenly not working the next day with no re-boot or anything different installed in between.
I'm not using a desire but rather a nexus s.. but I'm having the exact same issue. I've tried just about everything except unrooting to fix it.

I'm going to try flashing a different radio when I get home but I can't really see that fixing it as it's been working with no issues since I first rooted it a while back.
I tried several radios with no success. Its so strange. Gmail, xda, browser work.. but no market, Facebook, or twitter widget updates from launcher pro. I'm so confused.
Sent from my Nexus S using XDA Premium App
Yea, all the same here. My YouTube app doesn't work either.
I've been experiencing the same problems. I've been researching and tinkering and I've found some interesting things out.
First off I am going to assume that you two are on the TELUS network, you never said but that is what I am on and I have heard no information about it occuring on other networks
I noticed it yesterday and initiated several re-flashes and radio updates, none of which helped. Today I went into TELUS and they told me that they have been having alot of people with the telus bravo encountering similar issues. So instead of frowning and walking out I decided to ask if I could speak to the technician.
According to him the issue is not a connection to the network, rather that either the phones radio or the network is dropping the connection partway through data transfer. Therefore you can get through the connection, DNS and handshake processes, but it will fail during the transfer of data, but at no specified time. So I could use Grasscities Tapatalk app because it was just transferring text and other light data, but downloading large amounts of data winds up failing, which is why you can’t get market to work. TELUS does not know if the issue is only affecting desires (looks like it’s wider than just that) or if it is happening on any other network. They are in the information gathering phase and still waiting on a reply from HTC’s technical team to see if it is a problem affecting the radios.
I’ve spent most of the last 48 hours trying to solve this problem with no luck. TELUS has assigned me top level case advisement so I will update this thread as I know more about the problem. In the meantime, and I know how much it sucks, you will have to stick with wifi (as will I T_T)
Yeah, I'm on Telus. That would explain why a friend with a Nexus S on Rogers had no problems at all. I sure hope Telus figures this out soon. For now, I'm subscribing to this thread and hoping you hear something back. I'll update if I notice my data connection has returned to normal. Thanks for the info!
Also on Telus. Thanks so much for the update. I was thinking it was something on their part and have been meaning to call them but I'm at work. Just kinda assumed it wasn't their fault since some data did work, but it's good to have an answer.
Now I just need to figure out why my phone keeps bootlooping on a fresh 2.1.6 Oxygen install.
No problem guys, I know how frazzled you feel; I’ve been the exact same way for the last 48 hours.
Though I must say I am surprised that the forums are not all aflutter with discussion about this. The way the technician at TELUS was talking it sounded like they were getting a lot of calls about this. But dear freaking god I hope they get this solved soon… and if not then they had better let me out of my contract.
glad to hear it's not just me.. this has been happening since I went and saw U2 at the Rogers Centre in Toronto Monday night.. Every time I tried to upload pics I was taking at the concert it would just pause on the upload, or fail out completely.. my signal was dropping to nothing there as well.. I thought, being at the "Rogers" centre, that perhaps they'd set up a Telus signal blocking station
But then the problems have continued through to today. Some stuff kinda works.. I can get FB and Twitter updates from my Colorize Widgets, but can't actually use the FB app. twitter.com works, but facebook.com doesn't. google works sometimes.. but most pages time out in the manner mentioned above.
Quite annoying.
That's weird. This has been happening since yesterday for me, but last night it had no problems Instant Uploading pictures to Google+.
Some functionality has returned for me. Market still won't load.. but Facebook half-loads and the twitter widget in launcherpro is loading again. They must be working on it. I hope they fix it all soon.

Still all down on my end. Hope it gets resolved by tomorrow.

All function has been restored for me. Hope you guys are good too.

Hey guys,
I've clicked around a bit but can't seem to find anyone with the same issue, and I went through about 40 pages on Calkulin's ROM but I really don't want to go through all 200 and some if somebody here can provide a solution.
I've used his ROMs for the past year, really fantastic, no complaints at all. I flashed his beta ICS build a few months ago and it worked well with the exception that it would randomly reboot for no apparent reason. I could be in the middle of a text message or it could be sitting on my desk and all of a sudden, reboot. I went back to his old ROM and decided to put off ICS for a few months to work out the bugs. Today I put his newest ICS ROM up and once again, random reboots. It doesn't seem that others are having the same problem so I'm not sure what to make of it. And for the sake of putting it out there, it's always a clean install - Format All, flash modem and ROM.
Anybody have any ideas? Suggestions? Any help is seriously appreciated.
Thanks guys.
Ive heard of someone else having this issue before have you tried a fresh install with a new download of EL29 or EL26? When i have had issuez in the past that could be the culprit try a new download also you could try one of the new kernals posted that may help as well.

Are you using 4g?? This is a known issue with leaving 4g enabled.
Sent from my SPH-D710 using XDA
It is a known issue that if the hacked Hotspot is installed and you are running on 4G that you will experience random reboots. Mijjah74 has implemented a fix for it in his ROMs and it is beginning to go out among the other developers as well.
Until your developer implements the fix the cure is to not use 4G.
Awesome, thanks a ton. What a goofy bug. Yes I frequently use 4g, hourly even, and although I rarely use the hot spot, it is installed. I wonder if un installing it would fix the issue.
Thanks again.
Any idea if using am older modem would fix it?

No, reinstalling won't help. I was testing 4g for this and (for me at least) it would reboot at about exactly the 1 hr mark if 4g is running constantly. Pretty strange but it did it several times in a row that way. I think someone said that they have the timing down pretty well and I can't recall exactly what the recommendation was, turn 4g off and back on right before it's going to reboot (you should time yours to see when it does it). Something like that.
Addendum: FYI, I'm running stock EL29 modem. A different modem won't change the 4g reboot issue either, sorry.
I had random reboots on every ROM. I went all the way back to stock unrooted, and started back over. Haven't has any issues since.

Intro:
I have the Samsung Epic 4G. Great phone, running into problems. I originally started out rooted and modded with the CyanogenMOD 10 Nightly. Everything was going great and I love the mod but I started getting MMS problems where I couldn't see the pictures being sent or the ones I was sending. There was an easily located temporary fix found online to delete the telephony file and restart the phone. No biggie I can deal. Then bigger problems started arising as I was no longer getting all of my text messages. Sometimes none. I contacted Sprint and they ran through the whole ordeal of giving me some codes to input which of corse wouldn't work on the MOD and I couldn't update the profile so they said they'd check the tower where I was located and turned out nothing was wrong with it.... My wife and I are having a baby so being unable to contact her without calling constantly is a no go.
Main:
I flashed the stock for the SPH-D700 and all of my problems were fixed. This is a no bueno for me because it's full of bloatware and the phone without modification dies before my workday is out practically, even without heavy usage (and forget heavy usage because that was like shooting the battery into the sun and who the hell wants a smart phone that works for only like an hour?). After looking around I located the stock FC09 Deodexed MTD which comes with ShadowKernel (aweeeesome!) and flashed that. Didn't have any issues and all my texts were coming and going through. This was tested at work using a series of seperate sequential alphanumeric texts and all was good. I installed the usual suspects, Voltage Control, Juice Defender, SD Maid, ES Explorer, the WiFi hack, etc... Not being a fan of the stock messaging app I also downloaded the standard Chomp SMS app (which is def a step up and ad free) as well. I knocked the voltages down reasonably and tested them using Voltage control to do that and control the CPU (no overclocking). I got rid of all of the apps that the XDA Wiki said I could and backed everything up. All was well until yesterday. I charged the phone the previous night and went to work doing the normal kinda day act. I sent my wife some messages but figured she was busy when she didn't respond. Hours later I realized that she probably had responded because she never goes that long without doing so. I asked a few friends to text me and I texted myself as well and now I wasn't getting ANY texts. I did the phone dance with Sprint to no avail and they told me to take the phone to my local store. This would be the second Epic 4G that they would be replacing. The first one had this problem too but fixed itself when I flashed the stock rom. Then there was some water damage which thankfully insurance covered and I got my replacement earlier this week when I worked on modifying my phone to something I found acceptable. I think this rules out a hardware issue. On a whim I restored to a backup that I had made after getting my phone neat and tidy and some odd things happened. I started getting texts, but not the ones that I had already missed, and I was getting some later ones first before getting the first ones sent, I.E. i'd send 1, 2, 3, 4, 5 and get back 5, 2, 3, 4, 1 but they would arrange themselves in the correct order onces they came. It was also taking them forever to come in as I would send them and have to wait five to ten minutes for them to come.
Conclusion:
Tired, frustrated, and somewhat perturbed I reflashed the stock rom and the problem again has fixed itself. My question is has anyone else run into this? I've looked everywhere and can't find a similar case. Am I just not seeing something that's directly in front of me? Ideally i'd really like to put Cyanogen back on but I can't afford not to be in contact with my pregnant wife. I'd also reaaaally like the WiFi cabailities that were advertised with the phone but then neglected to mention that I would have to pay 30$ extra a month for. Is this a similar issue to the MMS telephony file issue that can be resolved with perhaps a nightly deletion of a file? Is there anything I can do NOT to be on the stock rom with the worthless battery life and bloatware that chokes?????
Sincerely,

So that's a big wall-o-text. I didn't read it, and just skipped down to your conclusion. You can flash another CM based 4.2.2 rom to test SMS/MMS. It all works fine for me on Slim. If you want TouchWiz, then flash The People's ROM. This rom has no bloat and better battery life than stock. All of these roms have the Wifi access point built in.

I'm dloading the latest CM 10.1 RC4 to give it another shot. I'm not confident that this won't happen again either immediately or within a few days. Thank you for your input.

I guess my concern is that this happened across both roms, FC09Deodexed and CM10.
Ok so no luck. Flashed CM10 and no bueno. Not getting all of the messages I send to myself. Massive delay between send and receive.
Then you're left to using Odin to get back on stock. Check auto-reboot, repartition, and f. reset time. After you are back on stock FC09, you may as well update PRL, but be sure to update profile. Test on 100% stock again.
If things work like they should on stock, then Odin in CWM without auto-reboot checked. Battery pull, then reinsert. From there boot into recovery and flash a rom of choice. Test again on newly flashed rom.
If things are not working properly on stock rom, then bring it into a Sprint store for service.
Sorry to say but all of that's been done and put in the original post (which you only speed read through the last part). I appreciate your help though. This is the second Epic 4G to do this to me on everything but the stock rom which makes me think it's not hardware but if it's not happened to anyone else then not much else I can do.

Haha, yea well it was a big wall of text.
I've burned through my ideas, lol. Good luck to ya.
Np, I really appreciate the advice. So far i've rerooted, reflashed the FC09DeodexedMTD and did a straight sprint (no lollygagging with install and uninstall of apps) to a barebones what I want system, apps include then backed up via CWM. So far it's still working great though i'll keep my fingers crossed. Should anything happen I have a backup from the getgo that should put things back to the way they were, ie. working. Stupid problem, of corse it has to only be me with it.
Ciao
