[Q] CM9 Beta0 Wifi Won't Work - Epic 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Sorry if this question has been answered already, but I've been searching for days and can't find a solution. I flashed cm9 beta0 coming from stock el30 multiple times and wifi won't work at all. I click on the wifi icon and it lights up, but nothing else pops up. Is there a way to fix this? Just to clarify, I don't mean the wifi hotspot, I mean wifi as in using my home internet connection on my phone.

Go into settings and wifi and click the left side and go to settings and set it to connect to your wifi. You may need to reset your router.

It worked. I had no idea I could actually press on "wifi" and bring up the settings. I thought I only had the option to click on or off. Thanks.

That's why we all watch qbking77 vids for reviews, details, etc... but how elese did you think it would connect without authorization. Only if it remembered the connection but if you wiped completely then it won't remember any settings

I watch qbking's vids, too. I don't use wifi that often, but every time I did, the available networks automatically popped up, like Kenny said.

WiFi turns off by itself

Got my sgs3 Sunday and when I got home turned on WiFi and started playing with it I notice that I lose network for a second after about 15 mins and my WiFi icon on the status bar disappear but network comes back on .. but in settings it is greyed out and I can't turn it off then back on till I reboot 0_o...thought maybe after I rooted and flash AOKP it would be fixed but no! I'm on T-Mobile and AOKP..so is it a bad WiFi driver or...? Any ideas?
#*0011# press the menu key. Select wifi. uncheck wifi power saver mode. Its should be green when on black off. Make sure its not on and done go back to home screen. Your phone should reboot the wifi driver and your done.
This method works for 4.0.4 any of the roms. Cm10 doesn't work. Cm9 haven't tried but I'm sure it'll work for u.
Hit the thanks if I've helped!

JB has these wifi issues I was expiriencing the same problems on cm10 as well. (I know not the same but both are jb) I decided to downgrade to the intrigue rom r3. It has smooth transitions. Real buttery and it let me access the wifi power saver mode by down ng the method above. I'll look into aokp and see if I can find a fix for u.

its called avoid bad connections on cm10

For anyone who has already turned off WiFi PSM, is anyone experiencing this setting turning itself back on? I have turned it off twice today and every so often it turns back on which ends up turning my WiFi back off...

Question: are you rebooting your phone when this happens?
Cuz if you are that's normal on every reboot you have to go back and turn it off again.

I was not rebooting the phone. I am currently trying a different rom to see if that solves anything.

Well it still keeps happening. I switched from intrigue rom to freegs3. I'm currently using the phone at work and it happened right before my eyes while using Tapatalk... I had to turn off power saver mode yet again
Sent from my SGH-T999 using Tapatalk 2
would the method above work for me? since yesterday, my wifi kept turning on by itself. After I turned the wifi off for like a couple minutes then it'll turn on automatically again. I have the Keep Wifi on during sleep set as "only when plugged in" and it never happen to be before until yesterday. My power saving in the setting menu has always been off too. Please help! :crying::crying:
Install the app called "Wifi Fixer" app to the solve the issue.
Whatever Google did to cause a variety of wakelock problems, having a strong wifi signal seems to solve them. Apparently, wakelocks occur when there are unreliable connections to Google's servers.

AOKP internet problem!!? Please help!

Ever since last night my 4g/3g has been on and off.. And off more times then on.. It keeps saying "no interent connection" in the notification window. Retarded the phone 20 times. Deleted downloaded cache I even updated the rom this morning... This is so annoying. And its no my service because I used the CM10 and everything was working perfect. I go back to AOKP and no interent connection. It has bars at the top but nothing like "H" or "H+" next to it when its off.. Idk why this is happening. Everything was perfect. I was chilling last night at the bar trying upload some pictures and ever since then this problem started..
Maybe try updating your modem?

Can't turn on 4G WiMax

No matter what I do I cannot get 4g WiMAX to turn on. When i press the toggle it lights up for about 5-10 seconds then just goes back off. Never however does it scan and the icon up top never appears.
What can be wrong here? What can i do?
Everything else is working fine. I have tried flashing new modems, flashing new roms, odin tars for EL26, EL29, did a nandroid restore from a time when it was working, updated profile + prl multiple times. I just continue to get the same result.
Any help with this is much appreciated.
Happened to me also on a bad jb flash.
To fix this, flash it back to an Orginal el29 gb rom.
I recommend the caulkalin el29 rom

If it doesnt work Stock, take it to Sprint and let them deal with the headache.
I would try clearing the Wimax CT back to default values under ##DEBUG#
There's two options. One clears the extensions to default which are the settings under the ##3282# Wimax setting people usually tweak with. And the other option resets the options on that Wimax CT screen. Forget which is which. Both options are at the bottom ODB Load Default and Load Default. Try doing both.

Thank you for your reply.
This is getting interesting...I did as you said and in the WiMax CT screen there are no values for anything...everything is blank. Not only that but both of the options for ODB Load Default and Load Default are darkened/grayed out and cannot be clicked.
Any additional help is much appreciated.

Where you playing around with any of the Wimax settings or did it just randomly happen? Go into Wimax extensions and start playing with the values switching them to a different value. But honestly it sounds like your Wimax chip is a goner.

I appreciate you taking the time Ray. I'll give that a shot. I wasn't messing with the settings at all, it just all of a sudden happened. I had flashed some different ROMs and was on Calkulins EL29 Rom when I noticed the issue.
I ended up asking a question in that thread about whether there was a 4g icon at the top when it was scanning because I never saw it. That's when I realized things were not right

Sprint Connections Optimizer

First off, a thousand apologies if there is already a post or thread regarding my issue. I could not find it.
After using ROM toolbox pro to uninstall sprint connections optimiser my WiFi still turns on pretty frequently by itself. Is there some other app I need to freeze or uninstall to keep this from happening?
I've looked in WiFi settings for an option to disable "notify me when networks are available" but couldn't find that.

You know, I forgot I uninstalled Connections Optimizer and my WiFi still turns on. I have yet to figure out what is causing it. But it is a pain in the arse to constantly turn it off. Let me do some research..

I was about to post a question regarding this. Good to know I wasn't the only one having this issue. I just got my Optimus G and couldn't figure out why my WiFi would randomly turn on. I changed the network notification setting and will test that out.
Oh btw, I'm running completely stock and not rooted Android 4.1.2
Edit: didn't work... Almost seems like when I get a multimedia message my wifi turns on
Yep seems like when I get a new picture message my wifi turns on... Anyone have this issue?\
