WiFi hangs when switched on - Wildfire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Hi folks,
Since last thursday I've got a problem with my WiFi on my wildfire. Every time I turn on the WiFi (via not. bar or settings) the little box is ticked but it does not scan or anything. A couple of seconds later I get the message that the WiFi process in the settings app is not responding together with the option to kill the process. Is my WiFi broken now? Or is there a fix?
Thanks in advance
P.S. I'm using CM7 7.1.0

Try flashing the latest nightly or the 7.1.0.1 update.

It doesn't work. When I boot after applying the update after the bootanimation there's just a black screen. It hangs. I pulled the bat and tried it again but the same...

Usually this can be solved by wiping the dalvik cache, have you tried that?

I managed to update CM7 to 7.1.0.1, but Wi-Fi is still not working! It just hangs after switch-on. And the weirdest thing of all is that it just happened, I dind't change anything or install any new apps...

Try reflashing the radio?

Reflashed the radio, still no progress It just wont find any wifi networks and after leaving the settings app the WiFi is turned off automatically (or the app hangs and the same happens) Any other suggestions?

By the way, WiFi-Tethering does work. Still confused about this weird problem :S

Try this in a root shell (enter "su" at the prompt) with wifi enabled:
ip link set up eth0
Though the name might be different on your rom, it's commonly named "wlan0" (eth0 is usually a physical ethernet device). You can find out by running
ip link show
With wifi disabled and enabled, see what new device comes up or disappears. It doesn't hurt to test a name, as long as it isn't "lo" (the loopback device).
After setting the link state, re-scan for APs.

Could you explain these steps? I'm not so familiar with terminal inputs and especially IP adresses. Whats more strange is that my Wi-Fi disconnects automatically when leaving the Wi-Fi menu and that it doesn't show my saved accesspoints (once connected but not now). Isn't this a software problem?

Sure, here's the html formatted manual page. A relevant excerpt:
ip link set - change device attributes
dev DEVICE
DEVICE specifies network device to operate on. When configuring
SR-IOV Virtual Fuction (VF) devices, this keyword should specify
the associated Physical Function (PF) device.​
up and down
change the state of the device to UP or DOWN.​

When the device is down, it won't scan. Some ROMs have a different tool installed as /system/bin/ip though, just typing "ip" will tell you.

The saved networks aren't shown when wifi is turned off. It likely fails to enable the device and does this before attempting to read the saved networks, as this should never happen it might be related to the radio firmware on your phone. See this thread for the list of radio firmware versions. As for disconnecting when you leave the WifiSettings activity, wait a bit longer to see if it stays connected. There's definitely no intentional disconnect in the onPause handler.

I've tried your steps. When setting the IP link to up after switching on WiFi and then enter 'show' i get a whole page of numbers and complicated text, but in each line the State is specified as 'DOWN' or 'UNKNOWN'. It also says something about a loop? When I leave the terminal then to check if WiFi is still on, I find it turned off. When I turn it back on and then let the terminal show, sometimes I get 'DORMANT' and sometimes I get 'DOWN'. I also tried your suggestion about leaving the client on, it stays on for about a minute before it automatically disconnects or gives me the message that the system app is not responding. My radio is already up to date (I even reflashed it twice). And what was that link 'WiFiSettings activity'. I came to a website with lots of code and got immediately confused . I hope this problem can be solved....

This is the RFC2863 state of the interface which is seldom relevant, the actual link state is between < and >.

That would be the loopback device. It is always present and its parameters are the same across nearly all Linux kernels, one might be funny and try to change the mtu, queueing discipline or address but it's pointless to do so.

According to the documentation, DORMANT means
Interface is L1 up, but waiting for an external event, f.e. for a protocol to establish. (802.1X)

This could indicate a problem with wpa_supplicant rather then the radio firmware. Try to connect to an open AP such as the ones at the local Bakker Bart, NS station, McDonalds or T-Mobile shop.

It is the actual source code to "Wi-Fi settings" where you normally see the list of networks.

Thanks for your explanation. So what should I do/try now? I was thinking about reinstalling the settings.apk and settingsprovider.apk ....

I tried that at the McDonald's and it didn't want to search for available networks, so I couldn't connect

Go to settings > Wireless & Networks. Disable this option

Connect to the Internet

Try going to /data/misc/wifi and rename the wpa_supplicant.conf to wpa_supplicant.conf.bak and try again, the system will recreate the file.

[Q] [HELP]My Kindle Fire Won't Turn Wifi On

last night I was reading online comics and it suddenly not respond so I force it restart and it was worse. My kindle cannot recognize my touching.
It is strange that TWRP still works. Restoring doesn't helps, too.
So I wipe it all(except for sdcard) and install various cm9 and cm7 with corresponding kernels from hashcode with no luck. Cm9 is ok but without wifi. Cm7 just wont respond.
Also I tried using TWRP to go back to pure stock and wifi still not working. So I redo all the root, twrp again.
Finally I fix permissions and install cm7 aka now it's screen recognize my touching but the wifi still cannot be turned on.
Is it possible wifi chip has been broken?
Any one can help me, THANKS!?
hey everyone, do u have any suggestions......
now, as long as I open wifi it goes dead. I don't know what to do. Is it possible that due to heavy use the chip gets break down?
I was wondering what remains the same after I flash roms. Because installing zip has formatted boot, data and system.
I hard off the device when the wifi went wrong. And the application in which led to this situation cannot be reinstalled(install said OK but openning it the screen was black, still responding to button savior).
So maybe the problem lies in the internal storage that is unchangeable. Any one helps!? Or should I contact amazon CS?

But why the wifi still cannot be turned on? yes, it is when I using the app the wifi connection seems to be unstable, and I pressed the power button for 20 seconds.
Thanks for your reply.
would try to clean up the wifi configuration:
turn wifi off
look for /data/misc/wifi/wpa_supplicant.conf
open the file and delete everything except the first two lines, they are:
ctrl_interface=tiwlan0
update_config=1

this is for stock rom - for cm7 it has to be simmilar
turn wifi on again
hope this helps ...

I used root explorer to search for wap_supplicant.conf since it's not in that folder and delete everything except the first two lines. (forget to mention that my wifi just shows turning on and I can't do anything, flash new roms won't help.)
Then I reboot it the result remains same.......
did you try to restart your router ?
because i have this sometimes with the stock rom - wifi tries to connect and can't - all my other devices work fine - i use to reboot to router and the kf is connecting immediately again

I'm sure it has nothing to do with my router. because I live on campus and use school wifi. wifi is in the state of turning on since booting. regardless of flashing new roms.
thanks for your reply.
just closing out all known issues ...
but nearly running out of ideas at this point
maybe something on your sdcard partition ? - i know it sounds crazy but i had a case where the fresh installed rom did not start until he copied the whole sdcard partition to computer as a backup and deleted everything (besides .android_secure and twrp folder)

I can only think of files remain unchangeable when flashing roms or wifi chip burned(hope not).

as you can't download it from the market, attached here is a logcat program
install it and you'll see a lot of debug lines - be shure to make or let make the kf a wifi connection attempt - save the log and attach it as .txt file to the thread - i'll take a look if i can see something to track down your problem
the thing is the wifi is turning on by default. no matter what I do. do u mean use some app which needs wifi?

seems like we have different issues. Mine is turning on without any connection or list of available networks. Have you tried reboot, forget all networks or so on?

No wifi on gedrom.

There is no wifi on gederom or any CM9 rom.I turn on and off wifi and still it doesn't work. I have an Intellinet router.
Thanks for any replies.
You should probably try changing your router's channel. I've heard that channel 13 is bad news ... and I think that was for a cm9 rom. Anyway, it's definitely worth a shot.
Are you wiping cache/dalvik before flashing new roms? If you're going from one developers rom to another developer, you should do a factory reset, then wipe, then install rom. If all you're doing to flashing roms from the same developer, then a cache/dalvik wipe is all you need to do. Hope that helps!
Wipe that kindle clean. Are you using fios? I've heard of a few people having issues with them.
I notice I can't see one particular Linksys wireless router at one of my job sites, but since we have two wireless routers it doesn't really affect me. No idea why...but maybe there is something someone else knows that can help understand the issue?
I still have no wifi and I wiped my kindle fire clean too. I changed the wifi channel from 11 to 4 but still it doesn't work.The connection shows up and when I enter the password the signal strength goes down.It says Authenticating and then it says saved and doesn't connect.

Can you go someplace where there is another router? Like I said, I notice there is one particular flavor of Linksys router that my Fire can't see on this ROM, yet at home I have a different model Linksys and there is no problem. Check it out on another router to see if it's just some weird compatibility issue.

Is there a reason you can't go to a coffee shop, library, or any number of other hotspots with your Fire? I mean if you have a medical issue that keeps you bedridden, I understand, but if not, there are usually routers everywhere you can try connecting to.

When I looked up "Reason 15" as a disassociation error, I find:
Reason code 15: 4-Way Handshake timeout.
When I looked up how 4-Way Handshake works:
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/IEEE_802.11i-2004
On that page it references CCMP protocol for WPA2 and IPSEC:
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/CCMP
And on that page it mentions this:
CCMP is an enhanced data cryptographic encapsulation mechanism designed for data confidentiality and based upon the Counter Mode with CBC-MAC (CCM) of the AES standard
I double-checked the kernel config and low and behold:
#
# Authenticated Encryption with Associated Data
#
# CONFIG_CRYPTO_CCM is not set
I think this can be solved via a kernel config change. Later today, I will create a new kernel only .zip file with this change and I'd like for you to test it.
This also may solve IPSEC issues as well.
Here is a link to the new kernel w/ CCMP support added [Kernel #12 06/08]:

[Q] Wifi Toggle Not Functioning (CM10)

Hey, I've got CM10 on my GS3. When I go under Settings, the Wifi toggle is set to Off and grayed out so I can't toggle it. When I go to Wifi, it just says "Turning on Wifi" indefinitely. I also have issues with wifi tethering sometimes.
Any solutions to this? I haven't been able to find any posts on it. I'd prefer not to reset to another ROM, but if there's no other ways to fix this, oh well.
Thanks!
Flash to a TW rom and see if it works.
If it doesnt work, try the following:
Diablo67 said:
So as to fix this problem,some people suggest to do a Factory reset.But, it is completely unnecessary.Instead you can try the following methods, which where tested by me successfully.
1. Dial *#*#526#*#* to reload the wifi driver.If it doesn’t work, restart your phone and dial it once gain.It will work for sure.
2.There is an app “Wifi-Fixer” from android market,which claims to be fix this problem.But seriously,it hadn’t worked for my mobile phone(Samsung Galaxy Ace).But,
if you are interested, can download and try it here.
For HTC users, I have a pretty good trick which works very well.
When you have obtaining IP address problem,
1.Turn off wifi.
2.Open “Allshare”, then you will be asked to connect to a wifi network.
3.Then select the wifi network that you need to connect from the list opened.
Magically, you will be connected without any extra effort.This works 100% sure without fail.
If that doesnt work try this:
1.Dial *#*#526#*#*.Then a message will be shown “Driver loading Successful”.
2.Now Start the WiFi, it should work.
If the message “Driver Loading Unsuccessful” is shown, follow these steps:
1. Dial *#*#526#*#* again and click options button on your phone.
2. Select Rx test.
3. Select Channel >9 .
4. Click Start and exit.
5 . After some time, turn on the wifi.It should work.

My phone won't even let me dial that, the code disappears the second I hit star the last time, not sure if it's supposed to do that. I'm gonna just try updating CM and see if that fixes it.

[Q] Wifi Not Working On Cyanogenmod 11 - T989

I was able to install CM11. Flashed cm11 on 12/7 and everything has been working great. I was able to update everything. On next morning, wifi signal was there but no access to internet. Wifi is on but it picks up no wifi signals. If I turn on/ off wifi doesn't find anything else. And receive WPS has failed error... if I click in refresh.
I have already daily upgrade nightly builds to up to date build (20131217), but success. same issue. Any idea?
If I do a full wipe and then restore a backup it work for a day, then stops again.
I have the same problem. I dropped the phone on the wooden floor, and thought the wifi just broke, but now I'm confident it's because of bugs in cm11
Considering returning to cm10.3

Fixed my network problem by removing ad-hoc network
Hey,
I had a problem when I tried to connect to an ad-hoc network I'd setup. The network settings screen would freeze up on me and then..... nothing. I checked the database settings by adb'ing onto my phone (a rooted oppo find 5 by the way). I checked the values of the settings database as described by others. That didn't work so then went to the file containing connection details of known wifi networks
Code:
sudo ./adb shell
[email protected]:/ $ su
1|[email protected]:/ # cd /data/misc/

First I start a shell on my phone (sudo ./adb shell), then I change from a regular user into the superuser (su) then I go to the directory containing the wifi connection info.
There I opened the file wpa_supplicant.conf and removed the ad-hoc connection that caused my problems. I've also read about people simply removing the file. Downside of that is that you will loose your painstakingly acquired history of known passwords (but I guess in the end that is still better then not having a wifi connection at all....)
Hope this helps somebody
Cheers!
Hi
I have installed cyanogenmod 12 beta 10 on my galaxy s2 i9100
there is no country code option in wifi advance setting.
how can I get my wifi worked?

Thanks, that worked great. but the setting reverted back to "1" on its own , i changed it back to "0" working again but any idea how to keep it from reverting back?
The value only reverted the one time, hasn't been an issue again.

May I ask for a absolute path of "settngs.db" file, please? By the way, have you fixed the issue with reverting?
Thank you.

afret install CM 11, go to this address : settings/wi-fi/advanced/wi-fi region code
and change it to fix. for me it works on Europe.
I hope it be useful.

Hi Sahrsoft, where are these options on CM 12 (lollipop)? Thanks!!
Hi guys,
Just wanted to tell you that setting wifi_display_on to 0 didn't work for me. Full reset did the trick on my GS4 GT-i9505

I found a solution. Download SQlite debugger from Play Store. Open the app, then open Setting Storage, then setttings.db, then Global, then scroll down to wifi_display_on and edit the value, change it to 0. Reboot and then you should have wifi working again.

Thanks so much dude! I was so close to resetting my phone and this worked perfectly! To those of you who got lost on this I'll try to describe it better... Download SQlite debugger from Play Store or on your PC then transfer the apk to your phone and install Open the app, then press 'App' and scroll down to 'Setting Storage', then 'setttings.db', then 'global', then 'name', now scroll down to 'wifi_display_on' and edit the value to 0, make sure you commit this change by pressing the arrow icon in the top right and accepting. Now reboot and turn on your WIFI!

What to do if my nexus 7 shows 'saved' when i connect/add a network?

I have tried the followings:
*add a network
*tried to connect different networks
*logging into safe mode and add a network but it failed
*and finally factory reset which trapped me .ie, I removed my g accounts but when the reset finished the device is not allowing to skip the login to network
when i tried to connect after factory reset it still shows saved So now i have a tab which is stuck in FRP i can’t even bypass the FRP

No worries - Mob30x-fix1 adds the WiFi 'Skip' option.
:good:

The network issue probably has nothing to do with your N7. Here is a helpful aggregation of numerous solutions. My bet is on switching to static IP or downgrading to TKIP/AES encryption.
Should you not find a fix in the linked thread, then we need N7 logs, please 'install' get-logs-sdcard.zip in TWRP, find 'logs.tgz' in the root of internal storage and post it here.
Next, boot Android, remove/forget all saved wifi networks and...
start logcat (I prefer 'time' format: adb logcat -v time > log.txt )
then quickly try wifi sign in
stop logcat immediately after the 'saved' message
compress and post the log here or upload it somewhere
The log gets big fast and you have to be quick with start/stop around the event to simplify its analysis.
:highfive:
