[Q] Wifi problem ICS Vision - G2 and Desire Z Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Hello everyone,
I have installed ICS AOSP Vision Beta8r4 (BTW great ROM), but when turning on wifi my phone doesn't find any network. It should show around 5 networks including my home network. I know that in this rom wifi is working. I also faced with the same problem using andromadus.
I guess problem is in my phone, not in rom.
Please help me to solve it.
Thanks.

Have you tried any other (non ICS) ROMs to see if WiFi still works? Did it ever work with an ICS ROM? Have you tried Taz's Desire S port? I'm pretty sure most recent build has working WiFi. Also are you full FULL wiping? Boot, System, Data, Cache, Dalvik Cache, the works?

You have to turn it on, wait a bit, then it should be available to turn on again, turn it on and it will work

I have made that before. I have noticed that it takes two times to turn on. but anyway after wifi is on ("on" icon turns blue) there is not any network showing.

Dear devs, I have installed ICS B9R1 and still wifi doesn't work (no networks), please give some sugestions.

This is a VERY peculiar problem... Are you sure you are waiting long enough? Because I did notice that it took awhile to turn on... You could try throwing the g2+wipe or whatever it's called, other than that though... this seems a very odd problem.
I will try to think of what else could be causing it but I imagine you will in fact require a dev for it since my knowledge is not extensive enough on the subject :/

thanks. maybe I am doing something wrong when installing rom (wipe is not full). may you give me link for full wipe instruction?

I'm having exact same problem, most of ICS roms have no wifi working, in last Virtuous Quattro Beta same problem. When i turn it on it sees no networks, on the last build after some wipe reinstall circles i was able to scan for wifi networks, but it never did connect. It's so sad that i cant fully move to ICS because wifi is absolutely must have for me. I wonder if someone could help us

K-Al
Wifi problem is region based and some devs of other devices already making fixes
This script fix helped me http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1403801
Sure it helps u too and let's hope devs we'll get it fixed in desire z roms

[Q] WiFi not working after overclock

Hi,
I've recently overclocked my HTC Desire HD using clockworkmod with this link:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=835616
After that, my WiFi suddenly stopped working. It could connect, scan; everything, except for browsing and going on the market, things that need an internet connection. (Yes, I did use other things like my iPad and it did work)
Then I tried to overclock through fastboot and adb with the same link. What happened then was that my WiFi died completely; it wouldn't even turn on. Only thing it did was saying "Error" (Actually it was "Fout" in Dutch, but would probably be "Error" if it was English).
Then I did what this topic said:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=993981
I flashed the new file and my overclock did change; the max is now ~1.2 ghz.
But my WiFi still doesn't work. It turned back to how it was in the first stage; It can be turned on and off, scan; do everything that it normally would, only apps that need an internet connection won't work.
Anyone can help me?
Edit: I already tried a hard reset, and it doesn't work. My WiFi and overclock state doesn't change after a hard reset.
Edit 2: I FIXED MY PHONE!! Finally. So no need for you guys to help me anymore . And please don't say I didn't try hard enough, because I've spent at least 10 hours in this problem. (Yes, I am a noob )

I just started from scrap following new instructions from a new kernel. If you want to know which one:

So I didn't actually solve the whole problem since I wasn't able to run the 1.61ghz oc, but that's ok for me. Hope this helps.

I have been having this exact same problem since upgrading to Android Revolution HD (Gingerbread versions).
At the moment, the only fix I can find is to enter:
ip rule del from all lookup wifi

In a terminal window everytime I connect to a new WiFi network.
If anyone can find a permanent solution to this issue it would be greatly appreciated.

That's weird. I'm running Android Revolution HD since yesterday and I didn't have any WiFi problems. If I were you, I would try to reflash. Also, have you tried to flash the recommended radio in the thread? I think that one of these 2 things should work.

I've tried numerous full wipes, different radios (including the recommended one) and still cannot get it to work without entering that terminal command.
I believe there are a few people with the same problem, yet it only seems to affect UK mobiles :/ ....

[Q] CM 7.0 wifi connects but doesn't work

Hi all, I'm running CM 7 stable with latest radio (7.15.35.16) and 2.6.32.17 kernel. I I wiped data, cache, and dalvik cache before flashing cm7, then the appropriate gapps. The problem has been ongoing with other cm 7 RCs, but doesn't happen in 6.1.1. I am able to connect to wifi networks, but I can't load or reload anything in any app. The icon stays white/gray on the status bar instead of turning green like the data network icon does to show it's fully working. Tried the android dev forums, but haven't found anything that fixes this. Any help would be much appreciated.
<strike>So I found a way for data to work while on wifi. I have to enable gps and have it lock on in google maps in order for the wifi to send and receive data instead of just being connected and doing nothing. Don't know much of the code stuff so if anyone can figure that one, be my guest!</strike>
Thanks to ilostchild for the fix in the last post. Pull 'tiwlan.ini' from cm6.1.1 and push it to cm7. Located in System>ETC>WIFI folder. Mount system before pulling and pushing files. Good luck!
I believe your kernel is geared for FROYO not Gingerbread. You might need to reflash the ROM and don't flash any "new" kernels as of yet. It may break your wifi.
This is the kernel that came with CM 7, unless I'm mistaken. But I'll try the re-flash option. Update later. Thanks for the suggestion.
You're right, i'm an idiot haha. Have you synced your google accounts to your phone yet? The green and grey signifies your connection to google servers.

I did. I did see the green and grey while on mobile network, but only grey when on wifi. Should I not let the phone restore everything once I reflash? I might try that and make sure every aspect of the google account syncs before attempting a wifi connect. Either way, I can always go back to cm 6.1 Thanks.
Try nightly 39, I read that was fixed in it. I didn't have the problem so I can't say if it was.

Would you be able to make a flashable zip with the stock wifi files? I've been having problems with CM6 and 7 wifi.
I don't think anyone has ever had a problem with the stock rom wifi. It would solve nearly anyone's problem.

The stock wifi files wont work with cm7, because cyanogenmod uses mostly generic drivers for things we dont have source for. Have you tried formatting the system in recovery? format everything except your sd card, reflash cm7, then add the twlan.ini from cm6. thats what worked for me, and i was one of those "unlucky ones."

Wifi fix is crap don't know why people use it. If I recall there is fix that needs to be flashed after flashing miui. Go back to the thread and read the devs first post should be there.
Edit: oops I was thinking of leedroid try flashing rom on top of itself just wioe dalvik and flash see if that solves issue.

Thats weird I have not had any wifi issues with Ice Cold from LC.
I haven't had any wifi problems with any ics or jb roms I've flashed. I already confirmed in the thread there should be no need to use the wifi fix with the new rom. Try downloading again and doing a full wipe. Also make sure your battery cover is properly placed.

After I read your question " it doesn't see any routers or only yours?", I thought I should try somewhere else.
Surprisingly it found other Wi-Fi's. That's kind of strange, isn't it?
Seems that the problem is limited to my wifi and the ones nearby it ( i.e. Wi-Fi's of my neighbors don't appear as well )
I use Whatsapp all the time on my NOKIA E72 at home with my Wi-Fi.
I was using Android Revolution HD and I had no problems with my Wi-Fi.
My NOKIA E72 have no Wi-Fi problems.
My Laptop have no problems.
You may suggest that I add my network manually, in replay I will tell you that I've already tried.

Manually? Not really, I don't know how to do that
Care to explain to me how it's done? Since every now and then I need to reset my router to connect again. Only happens with my cell.
Was it able to connect to the other routers?
Try disconnecting your other cell and pc to see what happens.
From there, the only thing I could suggest is try a different rom. I don't know what else to suggest.

Wifi not working on JB and ICS ROMS

I have bene using GB roms but never faced this issue. Today, I tried first Nikez lente JB and K900 AKOP ICS. I couldn't connect to wifi.
When I click on turn on wifi, the message appear turning Wi-Fi on .. but nothing happened. No Icon shows in status bar for signals of wifi either.
I am on Stock Hboot PVT4 S - OFF

Hi, you have to go into Settings and the click on Wi-Fi for a few seconds and let go. It will bring you into the next menu where you can choose the network you would like to connect to.
Once you find your Wi-Fi network, simply click on the name and enter in the password (if it has any).
I just switched over from a stable Gingerbread version of MIUI to this Jelly Bean rom and I like it so far.

Thank you for your answer. I tried every method to turn on the wifi. But it not seems to working. It is not turning on. I tried to find this answer on google and as well as XDA but I didn't find any answer to this question. I think this wifi issue is occurring on PVT4 devices but not sure what could be the possible reason for it.
Now, I think I should stay on GB and I am installing Leedroid. Let's see if this error still exist.

Strange, it resolved the wifi problem. I flashed the rom and removed the SD card and the wifi is properly working. I didn't figured it out how to manually add IP address. Just like in GB roms we have advance settings in wifi menu. In ICS there wasn't any advance settings.

Are you doing a full wipe before installing.
Some jellybean and ics roms occasionally have issues with wifi, but gb roms usually dont.
Try one of mildwilds roms, and do a full wipe before flashing.
If thats not working try the app from the playstore called Wifi fixer here: https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=org.wahtod.wififixer&hl=en
I also have problem with wifi in ANY ICS or JB rom. It can't recognize any wifi network, sometimes, it even freezes in wifi section in setting. I am sure that I'm doing all of install steps correctly; as I said, I have no problems with roms based on older versions of android. the strange case is that my friends have the same problem. Is it possible that it relates to internet providers in my country? (I'm living in Iran).
