I am using MIUI and no matter what rom I use though (Tried again with CM7) when I go to turn on WiFi sometimes it works but more likely it causes my phone to hotboot and then it keeps hotbooting over and over and over.
I somehow manage to get it to work, can't quite put my finger on what works. Sometimes in the past I was able to fix it by reflashing the ROM but that doesnt seem to work as reliably anymore. Sometimes I can manage to get in and turn off WiFi and it works fine but usually it crashes as soon as I try to access wifi settings, use the toggle switch or switch it from within wifi settings.
Help! This is getting very very annoying.
Bump! Anyone pleeease!
radio issue?
i recommend you go to:

or maybe try wipe data and cache partition and reinstall zip.

I have flashed two different AOSP roms (evo deck, and savage-mod). Everytime I get them up and running I am having the same issues with them. My 4G has trouble toggling on and off. It will boot up on, but as soon as I turn it off and turn it back on it gives me an error. Same with the built in hotspot. Also tried using the wireless tether app from the market and when I start tethering it just sits there. Once I hit the back button and start again it says "tethering has started with errors..check log" Everything else seems fine. GPS works, mms, 3g speeds are fast. I just don't understand. I have ran AOSP roms before with no issues. I'm flashing using CWM and doing three wipes each of factory data, cache, and dalvik. Then running a superwipe before flashing rom. Any help????

Y dont you just use the built in hotspot aosp roms come with?
I have tried that. It says "error" as soon as I try to activate it. It's like it intially works sometimes right after reboot, but then breaks after I turn it off and try to activate it again. And I prefer the app because you can tether 4g from it
Edit: So I flashed the newest tiamat kernal 4.08 and it seems to have helped with the 4g, and the built in hotspot. The 4g icon does not turn green, but it is in the status bar and speed test show its on. The only thing not working is the tethering app.
I have been using FXP since 117.
I have an Arc lt15i.
Since version 126 the wifi will not turn on.
When going to Wi-Fi settings it is just a black screen saying: "Turning Wi-Fi on..."
And yes I have wiped data/factory-reset, dalvik cache and cache, even though it seems to format cache (not dalvik) when doing factory reset.
I have tried with or without BB72, no difference, I even tried earlier BB but no difference.
I have treid to go into Airplane mode and out, that doesn't help.
Anyone have any other solution besides reverting to FXP124 which is the last one where wifi works for me.
I have some other wifi issues with earlier releases (it doesn't switch between wifi and 3G without using airplane mode in between), so I'ld really like to get wifi to work with the newer kernels.
Regards
Use FXP127 to get working wifi.
Did that today, that's why I posted this question.
Still didn't work.
And it might have been broken since 125, I noticed that I reverted back to 124 before to get it to work.
However, I did noticed in advanced under wi.fi settings that MAC-address is unavailable. I wonder if it's a setting in one of the system files that is missing/messed up.
Ok. After digging around in the system build of FXP 127, compairing it to 124 where it did work. I found that one file was missing, /system/etc/firmware/wl1271-nvs.bin
I searched for references to this file and saw that it's supposed to be created by an install script, /system/bin/wifiload
But copying the aforementioned file to the same folder in fxp127 install zip, and flashing that, lo and behold, wifi works again.
So I guess that the install script that are supposed to create this file, fails miserably and hence no wifi.
I had the wifi issue on 4.0.4 too, where my ion wouldn't connect to my wifi after it got disconnected but it would have worked again if I put my phone into airplane mode, disabled wifi, then turned it back on, took it out of airplane mode and reconnected the wifi, but after I installed the cm10 it doesn't connect at all it can't even find my network. I've tried adding the network manually but it still says its out of range. anybody else having this issue? has there been a fix to it ?
my wifi on cm10 working great, had no problem since i installed cm10.
maybe you can try re-install cm10, better do clean install, wipe data, wipe cache, wipe dalvik and format system.
hope it help you.
Well I figured it out it connects if you change the region code in the wifi settings and that's great cause there's no need to reboot the device anymore every time.
Ok so a couple of days ago I installed a 4.0 ready radio on my galaxy s2 and then went on to install Jedi Knight 6 ROM (4.0.4 and radio is UVMC6) and after installation everything was working fine.. I was messing around for a while.. it worked today, I shut my phone off to charge it up real quick, and when I turned it back on my WiFi would not connect. Well not necessarly connect.. it just wont even turn on. When I go into settings and click WiFi, it just sits there saying, Turning WiFi on, and never changes.. I can't seem to imagine what could have happened to it, and I really dont wanna have to reinstall the ROM again because i just spent hours getting this one all set up to my liking...
Anyone got any ideas?
EDIT: BTW, I have tried many things.. Tried airplane mode to disable everything then turn it back on, obviously tried rebooting the phone, i have tried wiping cache in CWM recovery and also tried fix permissions in recovery (another topic said to try those..)
Nothing has worked so far, i'm about to try reflashing my radio, see if that works.. but I really really dont want to have to reflash my whole ROM.. So if anyone has any other ideas please help, i'll edit if the radio works..
EDIT 2: Reflashing the radio did nothing.. it's really wierd, the data, bt, gps.. all of it works fine, it's just the WiFi that's frozen turning on... cant get it to stop turning on and can't get it to actually turn on..
EDIT Final: Ok well, i guess nobody knows what might have been going on.. so I just wound up reflashing my ROM, which obviously fixed it.. i just had to lose all that time spent setting everything up... But oh well.. Kinda sucks nobody even tried to help..

+1 I'm going through the same thing now
I have been having this same issue as well. It started out as stock happening sporadically. One thread suggested rooting and removing my account. Problem still occurring. Tried flashing multiple ROMs and now WiFi hasn't connected at all always stuck at turning on. I have tried clear cache, fix permissions, as well as reinstalling ROM dirty and with factory reset. I'm hoping this isn't hardware failure because I just bought this phone used but it seems to be a reoccurring problem with others as well. Any NEW suggestions not given from quick Google/xda search?

I'd suggest to check your Wireless Access Point (modem or router) wireless settings for security, check and see if it's set to use WPA/WPA2, which is common on some modems/routers, change it to either WPA or WPA2 (preferred) not both, it's a known issue with WiFi networks and having it set to using both, I had the same problem before with my phone connecting to my WiFi.
Also if you use MAC Address Filtering on the modem/router, you should disable/clear that and let phone re-connect before enabling mac filtering again.

The problem I am having is not that it won't connect to a particular network. Wifi will not initialize on the device at all and is stuck in "Turning On..." state. I found more and more posts where people ended up having to send in to Samsung so I spoke with them and even though I purchased the phone used its thankfully still under warranty and they will be replacing it. The did not confirm whether or not it was a true known device issue but were quick to file the exchange for me.
sigh, me too!
Just started having this problem on 4.3.1
great.
In my case, I had to wipe system and data before reinstalling my ROM.
Though the only reason it was happening to me was because Beanstalk 4.4.2 didn't want to get past the splash screen when I tried to install it so I downgraded back to ICS 4.0.4 without wiping. Good luck getting this issue fixed. Also another kernel might fix thingz for you if your current one does not like your device.
I have a similar problem. After a while, WiFi gets disconnected. If I go in settings - wifi, i get the message "unfortunately, settings has stopped" and I can't get WiFi to work again until I reboot the phone. The Wifi works again for a couple of minutes then stops.
I have flashed various different ROM (CM11, PA) but keeps getting the exact same behavior.
I've rebooted in safe mode and I don't get the problem now.
First, I've had this issue since Build 6.8. I was hoping a Clean Install using Philz Touch Recovery v6.48.4, which is the latest, and selected Wipe Data and select Clean to install new ROM which Formats /data, /cache, /system. I also wiped Dalvik.
Once completed I did the following:
Clean Install of Slim-d2lte-4.4.4.build.7.0-OFFICIAL-5979
I then installed
Slim_full_gapps.BETA.4.4.4.build.7.x-190
Rebooted and waited for SlimKat to boot-up. WiFi/Data both full scale. Everything Restored just fine and things are running smooth.
Then after running a few errands outside of WiFi Range, I returned home within WiFi range only to find out that WiFi had not reconnected. It tells a WiFi connection is available but will not reconnect to it. So I go into Setting and select WiFi and tried to manually reconnect. It says connecting and then goes back to Saved Connection without connecting. This same thing on other WiFi connections such as McDonald's or other open WiFi Connections.
I then do a re-boot and everything is back to normal. WiFi connects without issue and again things are fine and running smooth.
Every time I leave WiFi range and then return within WiFi range, the problem re-occurs. A Re-Boot and everything back to normal.
One thing I've always noticed when doing a Clean Install as stated above, all of my previously stored WiFi connection are still there. Same on Ringtone/Notification Tones.
With the problem I'm having, could it be something that is not being wiped/cleared out during the Clean Install process. Or wondering if it could be somehow that the WiFi Radio has gotten corrupted.
I have also tried different Kernels but again the result is the same.
Hope this is not too much of a noob question and I have searched about everything I can think of. Wondering if anyone has had this problem or have any ideas of what could cause the problem.
I really hope I can get this figured out. Thanks
If you don't have to manually reconnect and enter your password, then its not being wiped. (Or you are restoring it from a backup.) Have you tested it after the clean flash, but before restoring anything? What are you restoring and how?
It sounds like a Rom issue otherwise and you should probably ask in the rom thread.

First I don't know what I've missed wiping. When I say restoring, I'm referring to letting Google re-downloading everything from the Play Store.
I know the WiFi radio are in a different location but like you, when I do a Clean Install by formatting /data /cache /system and wiping dalvik, I wasn't expecting all the stored WiFi connections to still be there, but they are.
Its possible its being restored by Google's backup, but I don't use it myself so I'm not certain about that. Its also possible the rom may save the config file elsewhere. Again though, I don't use cm/aosp based roms so I'm not too familiar with any of their specifics.
Next time you try a clean flash, do not sign into google during setup. Instead go straight to testing wifi to see if it still remembers the connections. Do you have it set to auto connect to any open networks? If so you might want to turn that off.
Have you searched or asked in the roms thread yet? It might be a known issue or something a few others have encountered and know how to fix.

Ya I don't sign into Google at the initial start up after the flash because my WiFi is no able to connect. I will double check the auto connect feature. But I having this issue with other 4.4.4 ROMs also because I tired however on those ones I am amvle to toggle WiFi on but in advanced it has the region set to Europe and when I switch it to Canada it doesn't want to save the change
