[Q] Wifi Issue With Mimicry - G2 and Desire Z Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Installed Mimicry 1.50 and am having issues connecting to wifi. I read the developer's post (http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1714187) and tried all the methods mentioned there to fix this issue, but no luck. This included flashing an updated RIL (which was great for improving my reception), flashing the .19 radio, reinstalling the ROM without updating the .19 radio and wifi calling option, installing wifix, and getting a new sim card.
My G2 can detect wifi networks but will not connect to them. Possibly related, it also detects, but not connect, to bluetooth devices.
Is there anything else I can try? I really like this ROM but this wifi issue is driving me crazy.
Thanks.

I just flashed Mimicry 1.50 and I'm having the exact same issue. Quite odd.

Oh wait ... nevermind ... I was stupid. I turned my wifi router off and on and everything started working fine.

Doesn't appear that there are other solutions to my problem. I may revert back to the stock rom, re-root, and reinstall Mimicry as a last resort.

Thought I would update with my solution. Turns out my router was set to broadcast in N only. I changed it to broadcast in both G and N and I was able to connect to wifi. Hope this helps others with wifi issues.

[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] Home Wi-Fi Will Not Connect After Flashing

I flashed Calkulin's GB ROM and flashed the latest FD19 modem. It wouldn't connect, so I flashed back to the EL29. Still no luck. So I figured, what the heck? I'll go ahead and flash an ICS ROM. So I flashed Calkulin's ICS and still no luck.
But wait, there's more!
I don't think this is a problem with the ROM. Why, you ask? Because I can connect to my neighbor's unsecured Belkin router no problem! Also, it's happened over two ROMs and three modems. And doubly also, I had the same problem with my Transformer. And tripply also, the thread for neither ROM is lighting up with people having this problem.
I'm using an AT&T 2Wire, so to fix this, I have tried the following:
Change the broadcast channel on the router (this is what solved the problem on the Transformer).
Change the IP range on the router.
Restart the router from a browser.
Physically unplug the router for a few minutes.
Disable and then re-enable wireless from the router.
Someone suggested clearing the DHCP table, but I don't think you can do that on a 2Wire.
And... still no luck. I have to believe that this is not all that uncommon.
Has anyone else dealt with something like this?
For the record:
Calkulin's E4g 2 v1.4
Modem: EL29
Kernel: 3.0.15-SPH-D710.FD02-CL336391
Again, I don't think t's the ROM.
Is your network password protected with WEP or WPA? If it is then delete the network from your phone and add it back. Should connect after a minute or two. I have to do this pretty often when flashing between roms.
If you've already done this then I'm at a loss.

This may be a silly question but have you setup the connection again? Every time I flash a new ROM I always have to search for the network again and re-enter my password.
Verify the Password
Well, I decided to try one more thing and disabled network security. Voila! Connected in less than a second. So then, when I turned network security back on, I remembered that I had recently changed the password.
So here's my word to the wise today. If you're having trouble connecting to a Wi-Fi network, make sure you're using the correct password.
Thanks for the replies, though.

[Q] Wifi Authentication error occured

I was on stock image and everything was just fine.
Then I flashed Omega 8.0(4.1.2 base) and whenever I try to connect to Wifi with WPA-PSK or WPA-PSK2 i get authentication error occured whereas my other mobile phones and laptops are connecting to it without any problem.
To remedy the problem I reverted back to stock but the problem still exists.
Any suggestions ?
Looks like Galaxy S 3 user were facing similar issues as well as Nexus users and came up with a patch for PSK encryption.
The same issue is raised in Omega forum , [ ROM ][ LJ2 4.1.2 ]◥███◣ CriskeloRom NOTE II V04.1 forum and Q\A section several times.
But still no one wants to touch it or try to find a solution to it.
This is SAD.
Also Redpill v.0.9 had the same issue , hwta i do not understand is why I am getting this in stock version.
Trying to do a factory default to see if it helps.
Everyone is ignoring this question like Plague.
I wonder why .
Same here
Yesterday I updated my Note II to 4.1.2 (stock) and since then I cannot connect to internet. Same message all the time: getting ip-address and after that it says I have a poor connection.
I have been all over the internet ofcourse but I haven't read 1 answer anywhere.
I calles Samsung Netherlands and they adviced me to reset to factory settings, which I had already done of course. As a last resort they adviced me to go to a service center to get a new mirror. They would not be surprised if the phone would have to be sent fot factory repair.
That is something I try to avoid obviously.
For Dutch members: I am on KPN.
Found fix for me, maybe you to
Would not connect to my wireless router until I changed my router to use G only. I had originally set to N only. So take your router off N, and use G only.
Same problem here. At first i thought i hadnt configured router yet. But a friend of mine with a Galaxy Tab easily connected without any Error message. WTF>

Cheers!

perseus kernel didn´t help me....
Router Settings changed to 802.11g didn´t help me ..
A interesting thing is, that there are positions in the room, where i can get a connection..
If i am right next to the router, i don´t get a authentication error .
Seems like somehow it get´s a very poor wifi signal,
but i am 100% sure its not a router problem. It worked very good in 3
different locations with three different routers, but now i have this problem
at every location it worked before. All routers have not been changed !

tried it yesterday, still the same problem..
If I install PhoeniX ROM I have the same problem; when I try to connect to my wifi, it says "authentication error occurred". But I only get it with Phoenix. If I change ROMs (TW or AOSP) again, the problem goes away. It's a pity, because I really like the look of Pheonix, and want to try it out. Anyone know how I can test to see what's causing the error?
My problem with the wifi authentication error in PheoniX appears to be related to the "Net Speed Tweaks" option in the installation. Installing the ROM without selecting this tweak solved my problem.

[Q] [H] Wifi is greyed out and not turning on.

Hi! I purchased an m8 from someone else.
He also seems to have gotten the phone from someone as well.
He had a rom which I did not know, and I wiped it because he had personal data.
After coming home and trying to flash a new rom, the wifi is the only thing that is not working.
The wifi is not turning on. No problem with the router.
I tiried so many things. I got s-off by paying 25 dollars but still does not work
I got a boot.mg file but I don't think I have it for the rom that I am using.
I flashed so many roms but still the wifi is the only thing that is not working
The previous owner said the wifi was fine. What can do I?
If I understand correctly, you have a phone with S-Off and only a wifi issue. This sounds like a firmware issue.
You could try installing TWRP and then restoring an older Stock nandroid backup from here. Then update your firmware. I'm sorry I can't help you with the details since I am pretty new to all this myself.
As mentioned, you need to update your firmware.
