Wifi not working :/ help? - Defy General

Basically everything is in the title. My wifi just doesn't work, I can't connect anywhere! using a lot of data on things that I could really be using wifi for. I've tried different rom's including the latest nightly cm7, the problem started on nightly 48 latest being 50. I'm now using miui and the problem still occurs. Anyone got any idea?

Look like every roms not work with WIFI for you and is this only issues from custom rom? Have you wipe the data/cache in your quest of finding the root cause? How about retail untouch stock rom.
Before sending it back to the store for repair. Could you try flashing retail stock rom to your Defy original state and wipe it in stock recovery. See if it work again and report back.
I assumed you know all the steps of downgrading, flashing and recovery things yourself.

[Q] Cameras do not work after the Froyo update.

Hi folks,
I updated my EVO to Froyo yesterday. Now both of the front and back cameras are not working. I can not open any app that use the cameras. Just want to know does anyone have the same problem? I have tried to restart my EVO a few times, but no luck. How I can solve the problem?
Thanks in advance.
I have the same problem or at least a similar one. Camera app force closes after update. Running omj's latest 2.2 w the custom kernel

Did u do the official ota update? The one directly from HTC via your phone or did u use a custom Rom from the forum? If you where running stock Rom before the official update then am not sure why the cams would not work.
If ur phone is rooted and you're running a custom Rom then it may be the Rom. In that case check the Rom thread to see if there were any issue with the Rom. Try wiping data, etc and flash a different Rom if possible.

Thanks for the quick reply.
I did the update via the official update. I have not rooted my EVO yet, so I think I am still on the original Rom.
I had a problem when running the netarchy kernel 3.7.6c, with the Froyo updates. Camera's worked fine, but as soon as I changed the resolution settings (From "3mp") the cameras would continually force close. I had to wipe cache and Dalvik (Left Data alone) and re-flash the ROM. This "Reset" the camera settings, and the camera has been working fine since.
Maybe re-flashing the ROM may work for other people as well.
I did an "Factory data rest" under "SD and Phone storage" and now I can use the cameras again. The cost is that I lost all the apps I downloaded, which is OK. I will reinstall them. It seems like an app I installed caused the the problem.

Bootloop issue following installation of firmware in leaked Verizon ICS/Sense 3.6

Hey all -- wondering if anyone else has experienced this issue.
So, I flashed the firmware upgrade that nits posted along with the leaked Verizon ICS rom. I couldn't resolve the wifi/mobile data toggle issue to my satisfaction, so I figured I would go to another rom as my daily driver for the time being. However, now anytime I flash a sense-based rom, my phone reboots right after the rom loads up and goes to the lockscreen. It really seems like it is rebooting at the time the radio is trying to get a signal. I tried using different radios to see if that would resolve the issue, but no dice. I even bootloaded a pg32img of the stock rom (hboot .98, which kept me s-off but caused me to lose my recovery so I had to push that back on through fastboot), but I still can't flash any sense-based roms without the phone restarting soon after it loads and goes to the lockscreen. This includes the UKB roms and Eclipticsense. I do not experience this problem with AOSP roms, and I'm currently running CM7.2 without any issues (I can run it with the newest firmware from the leak, and even with an older GB radio).
Thoughts?

Multiple times. I've repeatedly wiped all partitions except the SD card. I generally do this whenever flashing a new rom.

Phone will not boot any kernel. WHY?

First a little background. I am not new to the android world whatsoever. I don't post much but have been lurking for years. I had a Verizon GS3 and just recently switched to T-Mobile a few days ago and obviously bought a T-Mobile GS3. My vzw phone had no problems. But for some reason my T-Mobile phone will not boot any kernel I try to flash. Roms flash fine but when I flash a kernel everything goes fine in recovery but my phone won't boot past the splash and I end up having to restore a backup. I know I'm flashing the right kernels. I am on touchwiz based ROMs and haven't tried any aosp Rom because for the first time ever I actually prefer an OEM skin to aosp. So basically am I missing something obvious. Anyone else having thus problem. On Verizon I had to root and unlock the bootlosder. From what I understand tmobiles bootliader was not locked down and all I had to do was root. Like I said. I've tried every touch wiz Rom and every touch wiz kernel with each Rom and none will boot past the splash screen. I always wipe dalvik and cache but even tried wiping data every time too and keep getting the same result. Any input would be appreciated. . Thanks in advance.

Shouldn't need to do any wiping of any kind. I only use AOSP/AOKP, though. May I ask why you even bother with custom kernels? They honestly seem like a waste of time to me.
Im just flash happy. Like to try them out. I've been on Verizon for many Years and am used to the developers over there. I'm still getting used to the devs over here. Don't know any of there work. I'm sure its all good though. Been using imoseyons lean kernel since the thunderbolt back in the day and have stuck with them. Just my personal preference. I'd like to try some of tmobolrs kernel devs work but like I said I can't get a single one to boot.

What kernels have you tried to flash? There are a couple that have ICS builds. Also, what version of CWM are you using?
I've tried all the tw kernels. Every single one with 2 different ICS tw ROMs. I'm not using the leaked jb tw. I'm stickung with the more stable ICS ROMs for now. I just don't understand. I've tried every one. I've been flashing a long time and don't get it. Im kinda new to Samsung though. First Samsung was the galaxy nexus. Didn't ever use Odin with it. Does anyone flash kernels with Odin. Maybe I should try that. And to answer your question I've tried twrp and the latest version of cwm from rom manager. And of course I'm using the ICS TW version of the kernels im trying.

It could just be your phone doesn't like them. There is another guy on CM10 and AOKP that can't get custom kernels to boot either.

The kernel source code was never released for any build from UVALH2 and beyond. So most of our kernels will only work with UVALEM and UVALG1 builds.
We got kind of lucky I think and ktoonsez att kernel was brought over and works. I think there's one or two others that work now too.
As far as described here go I think we've got some of the best! For an outstanding rom you should try FreeGS3. It works with most of the kernels and is an awesome stable rom. If you want a later build try wildcards XquiziT v70 based on UVALH2. Use ktoonsez kernel with it.
And just to note, the stock kernel is surprisingly good. So give it a fair shot as well. Though I can definitely see some potential advantages of custom ones as well.

Have you done full Wiping?
Wipe Data/Factory Settings
Wipe cache and dalvik
Flash Rom
Fix Permission
Reboot and don't touch it for 10 minutes
Reboot.
Wipe cache and dalvik
Flash Kernel (Must be compatible with ROM)
Fix Permission
Reboot and don't touch it for 10 minutes
Reboot.
See if this will work. Sometimes you have to let it breathe so it can adjust itself.
Have you tried uding odin to flash MrRobinsons root66 UVALH2? This will take you to fresh full stock plus root. Then try roms again.

Whatever you do................
Be sure to double check before you flash that kernel. Had my first SGS3 for 12 days before hard brick set in. Terrible disease it is.......! I had to adopt a replacement shortly after to cope with the pain of the loss. Back on my feet again now though and soarin' higher than giraffe vagina on the things I learned in my days off for mourning. I can tell ya I've personally flashed the lean kernel and kt-747 with no issues. My problems were with siya mainly.
Guys, I have a serious problem.
It's similar to the one of the thread-opener.
The diference is that I cant get ANY ROM to boot, WITH the stock kernel.
And i do like the guide says: wipe/factory reset, wipe chache, wipe dalvik cache and then flash the ROM.
Everything works fine til the ROM finished flasing and runs a reboot.
My S3 shuts down screen, then turns screen on with the "Samsung Galaxy SIII-GT-I9300" and then thats it!
All i can do is to go in download mode or recovery mode. I can also flash CWM and so on, but after flashing ROMs it won't boot!
Is it possible that i broke the device by formating internal sd-card with the stock recovery tool?
Did it, after I tried to install Wickedv6 ROM and after both times when it rebooted it just reinstalled stock ROM. So i thought, ok delete the internal sd-card, so no stock ROM on it any more.
Also tried this ROM: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1875923
Same problem.
Also tried to fix the problem by rooting and then flashing ROM. No help.
Please help guys!
Best regards

This isn't the I9300 forum, but if you flashed a T999 rom, you bricked your phone.

Wow, you scared the **** out of me
But i just tried to flash stock ROM: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1646610
It worked out!
What is the right forum for my GT-I9300 to post then?
And why isn't any other ROM working?
The forum you got that stock rom from is the international one. This is the US Tmobile T999 forum. The two phones are NOT compatible.
Only flash, well...anything, from that forum. Our roms will brick yours and vice versa.

[Q] GPS Never WOrking on ANY ROM now...!?

So my GPS on T999 is no longer owrking. I have tried re-installing the current ROM. Installing other ROMs, everything, but I just can't get the phone to lock onto a SAT! It is really frustrating now as I need it really bad about a week ago and couldn't get out of the downtown lol.
CUrrently I am on the Aeon Fluxx ROM but the GPS did NOT work on the FROSTY, BLACK JELLY, AOKP, CM Nightlies, or ANY other ROMs anymore.
I have used GPS Status to reset A-GPS and then re-download the A-GPS data to no avail.
Any suggestions folks?
I believe there is already a thread about precisely this. Was posted maybe a week ago.
Also there's this one

[Q] Bootloop - Only boots right after cache/dalvik wipe - Kindle Fire CM10.2 20131206

If I boot into recovery, wipe cache and dalvik (I fix permissions too, although this probably isn't necessary), then it boots right up like nothing is wrong with no fanfare.
If I'm lucky, this will even persist for an additional reboot. Otherwise on subsequent reboots it just bootloops forever until I go back to recovery and wipe cache/dalvik again, and then it boots right up again. Once into the ROM, everything runs fine, no issues at all.
I've tried rolling back a nightly or two but it doesn't seem to make a difference. Was there some major change in the last few weeks that I missed? How far do I need to roll back to get this to work?
It's my gf's tablet so I don't really want to wipe data if I can avoid it. Was even thinking of dirty flashing up to CM11.
Any insight is appreciated.
With my phone this problem ended up being using the wrong baseband version for the ROM/kernel that I was using. I was able to fix it by resetting it back to stock using ODIN (tool which can be used to recover Samsung devices) but from the sounds of it you have no such luxury.
Do you have any backups of when everything worked? If not try to find a way to get back to stock however you can. Aside from that make sure that you are using the correct ROM for your hardware.
Good luck and keep us updated.

The kindle is wifi only, so I don't think there are any baseband issues. Will update when/if I fix it.
Restoring to stock is a good idea. It's been over a year since this thing was stock, so it's quite possible we missed a firmware update or something.

Not yet, but I think it worked fine on cm10.2 for awhile.

UPDATE - I dirty flashed cm11 and gapps as if I were updating any other nightly, and the issue appears to be gone. So freaking annoying, lol.
