[Q] Arc Wifi Problem - Xperia Arc Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

I am running CM7.1 and DoomKernel on my Arc, and have had no problems.
Today, I accidently let the device run out of battery and turn its self off.
Now, the wifi has stopped picking up any access points. I have seen others have this problem (not being able to pick up networks) but it has always been after an update and not just randomly stopped.
Anyone got any ideas what to do?

[Q] Upgraded to FRX04, and Kernal 1253 still no WIFI

Hello,
I have been reading for hours and have tried several different things,
please see my other post http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=926284
This evening I upgraded to Kernal 1253, my tilt 2 shows that it is running FRX04 and also kernal 1253 but still when I turn on wifi I get the same result (it starts and then it says scanning and then it says staring and then it says disconnected.
I also followed the tips in http://forum.xda-developers.com/archive/index.php/t-695230.html which involve putting your mac iaddress into wifi-nvram.txt but that didn't work either. Should Wifi be working on a Tilt2 with the latest kernal and FRX04?
Also, I have noticed that the GPS doesn't apear to be working either. Otherwise the phone works great. Still wish I could get bluetooth working but have not seen anything helpful on that either.
is ur wifi WEP password protected?
because no rhodium android works with that sadly =(
switch it to WPA
You'd probably get better info if you posted in the Android section. Good luck.
This will fix your problem. Find your MAC ADDRESS on your phone and write it in the WIFI-NVRAM.TXT then place the WIFI-NVRAM.TXT in the root of your storage card. Now replace your FROYO.USER.CONF with the one in this zip. The FROYO.USER.CONF is in this folder ANDBOOT/CONF. Now boot android and you'll have wifi working.

[Q] Wifi problems

Wildfire with
ROM: CM 7.2
Kernel: 2.6.35.14-InfinityPlay
Radio: 3.35.20.16
For the last year wifi, after a short period of time i can't download, I mean, some times i connect, get into market for example and download/update, but after some time i can't, it's not a market problem because i can't download from anywhere, regardless the app, but i can browse normally(!), the problem is only in downloading. Even if i reset wifi, go in and out of airplane mode, restart the phone etc, the problem stays. Maybe if i try the next day it works ok. I dont know how it occurs or when and why, nor how/why/when it gets fixed...
The problem started when I had rompuzzle 2.2.1 a year before, till now. Since then I have flashed stock rom with 2.2.1, jockerdroid 4.2, cm 7.1, and cm 7.2 that i have now.
I suspect it is a radio problem, but can't be sure.
*Also sometimes I have low gsm signal, even in well covered areas.
Any ideas/suggestions?
Thanks
You said you flashed stock rom, i suppose it was a stock rom from Android?
It really looks like you have a problem with your radio (like you allready say for yourself).
It seems you have the newest one, so try a lower version.
I you have troubles finding a radio because the host is down or something just pm me or try google.
Hope this helped! Kind regards.
try radio 20.10
i have tried all 3 radios, but the problem stays. But i have noticed that when i enable tether and i put in the console the command for reverse tethering *usually* it gets fixed until the next time that i disconnect from my wi-fi.
i have not the same but similar problem,after a while i get dropped from router,even if my phone says its connected...this started to happen after changing our router (which i couldnt and cant set up) and setting up "N" wifi network...i found two options,how to solve it..
1)use free app wifi fixer from google play store (which somehow manages to know if you are connected or not and can automatically reassociate with router again)
or
2)flash HCDR.Kernel_v4_Flashable.zip from op on this page http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=798471
maybe it help, maybe not.. gl
I have *temporary* solved the problem by following the reverse tethering guide... I don't know why but after doing this procedure I can connect normally to my router, and if it disconnects (rarely) I just repeat the steps of the guide.

[Q] Need help on unstable 3G on my Acro S

dear all,
I'm a newbie here. hope to seek guidance and help from anybody here..
This problem keep annoying me now.. the story is like this..
I just bought this phone 2 weeks ago with the firmware version 6.1.A.2.45. Then after switching it on and hook to WiFi, I updated it to 6.1.A.2.50. After that I plug the phone to my laptop and update again to the latest 6.1.A.2.55 firmware. Remember this is all done without any 3G connection, only using wifi and my laptop. Wifi for my phone run smoothly with no problem..
After update everything, it reboot automatically as usual.. then after everything seems fine, I turn on my 3G... that time the problem came..
MY 3G/H is very unstable. About 5-10 minutes it will disconnected and connected again.. it repeat this process over and over again.. I cannot enter facebook or google store coz it always show "no connection" or "network error"..
this is really annoying.. is there anything to do with settings or firmware? do I have to downgrade my firmware to stock? or my phone is damaged?
Thanks in advance...
Have you checked the apn your using?

[Q] wifi scan not working after 4.2.2 official update

ok, so here is my problem,
i was running 4.1.2 official, "Everything" worked fine, and i mean everything, it was a brand new nexus,
then i unlock bootloader, root, flash PA3.0, flash PA GAPPS, flash trinity kernel,
"Everything" still working, no issues,
i wanted to update my nexus with most current bootloader and baseband and anything else that came with the stock 4.2.2, and then reflash PA3.1 and new franco kernel and now my wifi scan doesnt work, no networks show up, but yet if i manually enter a network, my wifi is working, but still no scan results...
im lost, did 4.2.2 borf my wifi scanning somehow? or is it something google "added"
30 views...
not one reply..
come one guys, someone has to know something
Actually, I recently noticed something similar. I flashed ak stock jdq with the WiFi 3.4 drivers and noticed I cannot see any networks on WiFi analyzer, even though I'm connected. Anybody else notice this?
Update: I flashed back to the stock kernel with 3.0 wifi drivers and i can scan again with farproc's wifi analyzer, so I know wifi scanning works on 4.2.2.
its good to know that im not alone here,
i dont recall what i did, or how it happened, but i dont think ive changed anything in my setup,
i still dont have scan, but yet still if i manually add a network, it will connect, it also shows my unlocked, open dd-wrt router, but it will not show anyone else's locked routers around me, but yet my nexus 7 is showing all kinds of wifi points
I'd bet it has something to do with your custom config. Does the kernel you're on use the 3.0 kernel wifi drivers, or the 3.4 drivers?
not a clue, and wouldnt know where to look
In the kernel's thread. I think if you tried stock, your scanning would work fine, but it seems just a small price to pay.
im using franco kernel #366

[Q] Wifi Problems: Wifi won't turn on

Hello everybody,
I have currently installed the ev_bravo-nightly-2014.01.22-squished.zip on my desire.
But I have a problem using Wifi connection. I have read several threads about similar topics, but could not find a solution. I experienced the same problems with the previous release. At first, after installation, wifi worked well, but after having it turned off it won't turn on anymore. It also says MAC-Adress is unavailable. What I have done was to delete the app2sd script from init.d and to install Int2ExtV2 (runs perfectly). I don't know if this can cause the interference? I have not made any other changes.
Does anybody have an idea?
It would be great if anybody could help me.
I've had this issue with some Roms previously, the Wifi turns On, but won't turn on again after you turn it off
(is that the problem you're having?)
the solution/work around was to put the phone on Airplane mode, and back
this sometimes fixed it
..if not then I'd just restart the phone
there might/should be some other solution..look around or wait for someone to reply :good:
I can confirm that 'MildWild (Android 2.3)' does Not have this issue

Did you find a resolution to this problem? Mine has just stopped working after many years of being OK.
Cheers
I resolved this by running a factore reset eventually, but this of course means you have to reset up your phone from scratch.
