[Q] Wifi Not connecting for 4.2.1 ROM's - Galaxy N7100 - Galaxy Note II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Hi All
I am having a wifi connectivity issue with all the 4.2.1 ROM's. Earlier I had posted this in the Noob friendly thread. I guess that was not the correct forum for this question. The below is the description from my earlier question. Appreciate any help. Sorry for the long post. I wanted to give as much information as possible. Surprisingly, I don't find any threads which adress this question for 4.2.1. Am i the only one having this problem?
I am using the Galaxy Note 2 international model. I am trying the CM 10.1 nightly ROM's and other ROM's like HyperdroidJBX V2.0. They are cool roms and I really like them, but the only problem I am facing is the Wifi connectivity issue. At any point of time, when I am turning on and selecting my home Wifi connection, it stays on 'Obtaining IP address' or some other message, but never gets connected. This is the same issue, I faced even in 4.1.2 versions, but I had a work around as follows. Now, I don't know , how to do that in 4.2.1 ROM's.
Open dial pad and dial *#0011* and then chose Wifi from Menu. Turn off the button which is currently 'on' and the Wifi connects .. This happens every time, I restart the phone. But once done , no issues in connecting or disconnecting.
Any help appreciated. I am new to this forum and please let me know, if any data needs to be provided from my end to help fix this issue.
PS: This issue, has stopped me from trying the 4.2.1 ROM's as it is eating up my 3G mobile data connection.
have this problem with all the 4.2.1 ROM's except the one from monx - cm-10.1-20130110-NIGHTLY-n7100-monx-01.

Keep calm and do the following:-
Download this zip file. And extract it to your etc/wifi folder.
http://db.tt/BWGleyxg
Since you need to overwrite a system folder, mount it as R/W from the default R/O using Root explorer or any other explorer(This is the important bit and there is no excuse for messing this part up)
Then copy and paste the conetnts of the "wifi" folder you earlier extracted to etc/wifi and choose "Overwrite files" option.
DONE.
If this doesn't work, then probably nothing will.
And to those of you wondering what is the zip file,it is actually a backup of the wifi folder of 4.1.1 which i have been overwriting into new ROM's wifi folder to make my wifi work. If you have any query, feel free to bug me.
GoodLuck.

Thanks for the quick response. Can you please ellaborate on the exact step you have mentioned to overwrite the system's wifi folder! I am new to the Linux world and would appreciate some help here.
I understand some files in the existing Wifi folder will get overwritten. But what happens to the others in the folder? Can I leave them there?

Your phone must be rooted for doing this.
1.Download the file on PC or Phone.
2.There should be a folder named wifi.
3.Download Root explorer or any other explorer that allows mounting system to R/W from R/o.
In root explorer, you just need to click the r/w to mount system as re wriatble.
4. Copy the CONTENTS of the wifi folder and paste it in system/etc/wifi <---paste here.
5.You will be asked if you want to overwrite the file. Click yes.
Reboot.
Enjoy.

Perfect...
Thank You So Much...
Wonderful suggestion . It worked like a charm...

Hello Again
I have started facing this issue again, when I am installing 4.2.2 ROMs now. The trick you had mentioned of copying the older version wifi files (from the dropbox location you mentioned) and pasting them in /etc/wifi is not helping now.
After pasting the files in wifi folder, and rebooting, when i turn on the Wifi, it stays in 'Turning On' state. It neither allows me to turn Wifi Off or on. Even a reboot is not helping.
Any further suggestions on how to fix this issue is appreciated?
Also, one question, am I the only one who is facing this issue? Why I don't hear from anyone else in the forums about this issue? This is like a permanent issue for me since 4.1.2 upgrade.
Appreciate your help.
Regards
Deeptiman

Hi
Anyone, Any help? I have attached the screenshot to compare the files in the /etc/wifi folder between the version 4.1.1 and 4.2.2.
Hope this helps. I see a number of new files and some files which have changed over the release.
Earlier copying the old wifi files in to the /etc/wifi folder used to fix the problem. now it is not helping.
Appreciate any help.

Hi All
Any help? Am I the only one having this issue? I checked in some of the other android development forums and I saw a lot of messages, but they were all from last year.. Is there any update on my request?
Or am I putting the issue in a wrong forum / thread?
Appreciate any help to further debug the issue.

Thanks for the reply. Check the suggestion in this thread of copying the wifi folder using a root explorer/efs explorer. It fixed the issue for some of the ROM's and till 4.2.1. But again it resurfaced with 4.2.2 ROM's.
I am also searching in some other forums and threads. Will try to inform, if I find something.
Did you try resetting the router? It helps for some.

I know this. This helps. But not in the future 4.2 samsung realeases. So this is just a ugly fix. I will stay at 4.1.2. Und wait for leakt samsung 4.2. Roms with a hopefully fixed wifi module.

I just read in some other forum that the issue is with AOSP and CM based ROMs. To try it out, I installed a AOKP based ROM - Resurrection Remix and the wifi worked fine. But for the record, another AOKP ROM - ROOTBOX had the same wifi issue.
So if anyone is really stuck with this Wifi issue and wants to try the Android 4.2.1/2, you can try the AOKP ROM's for a change.

Hi,
Have you found a fix for the wifi not connecting problem? Unfortunately for me, resetting the router doesn't help.
I'm thinking of exchanging my n7100, but I need to know which version to avoid that has this problem.

I'm surprised this is still a problem with the latest CM 10.1 nightlies (I've tried 2013-04-01).

Same problem here, since the 4,1.2 update. I had high hopes for the upcoming 4.2 update to adress it, but those hopes fall flat to the ground, reading this thread. All that's left to do then, is to return the phone for warranty service. Something I've avoided so far, since I really need my phone on a from day to day basis. I suspect that I won't get it back for 3-4 weeks. A really disturbing option. I'm lost now....

I have installed the new dmc3 firmware from samsung. Now everything is working!!!! Wifi works now on 4.1.2. No speed drops or anything.

Don't know what's wrong with this device

First time poster, same issue with WiFi on CM 10.1. I can't find a solution to this for the life of me. The phone is 3 days old, so by the sound of it, this is something common to newer N7100 hardware?
Does anyone have a working solution to this WiFi problem?

Someone have tried to start with old rom touchwizz and old radio?

I posted about this a few weeks ago, but the problem you describe seems to be rare enough that no one believes the WiFi not playing nice with CM exists.
So basically, I had to return the brand new N7100 and purchase a used one that worked with CM. Until enough people complain, I don't think this problem will be addressed (at least it wasn't in my case). Your best bet is to exchange for another one and hope it doesn't have the same issue.
Keep in mind not all newer N7100 are affected.

The thread shows some 3rd part apps for wifi tethering. But when I install them and give them root permissions the wifi does not start. Under wifi it shows (Error).
Test if your WiFi antenna is misplaced.
Remove battery lid and put it back on again, making sure its proper on

This is a pretty common issue for custom roms. And in most custom rom, they should be fixed already.
In my opinion, the problem you are facing is most likely rom related issue, so it is best you go back to the thread where u downloaded the rom and browse through to see fixes. Or simply update to the latest version of your rom.
well i went through the forum and to my surprise or unfortune no one has reported abt the issue i m facing. and i checked the rom official site,the rom i m using is indeed the latest stable rom, i even checked my phone's wifi antenna its not hampered or has moved from its position.

You can try re-downloading cm7.2rc3. If it doesn't work, download cm7.2rc2 to see if it works, restore your apps after you find out if it's working. That rom is Gb and shouldn't be having those issues.

Well this is what I ve done.I was using cynogenmod rc2. I flashed rc3 hoping this would fix the issue. So thing is if i flash it back to rc2 it would not add up to solution.

let me explain in a very explicit manner possible. i was using cynogenmod 7.2rc2 long back with same wifi problem so some user on xda advised me to update the rom to latest version ;7.2rc3, so i did the update.but when i started facing same problem with 7.2rc3, i reported this in a post on xda to which u replied to downgrade the rom to rc2. but as i ve aforementioned that before reporting it on xda i was using 7.2rc2 version with the same wifi problem so corollary of this is if i downgrade it back to rc2 there ll b no difference except i ve to redownload my apps and configure settings.
and one thing more i ve re-flashed the cynogenmod7.2rc3 but that also does not work.

Does it happen with other roms?

Just want to make sure. You re-downloaded the file and flashed with a clean install and the same problem happens, right?
Sent from a dream.
yes i downloaded the file from cynogenmod official page. and did all the recommended steps like wiping cache,formatting,wipinkg dalvik cache and wiping battery stats.
I just did a quick search and couldn't find anything either.
When you try to use the usb or wifi tethering, to what are you connecting to? to a laptop? what operating system are you using on the laptop if such is the case?
yes i m connecting to a laptop. its dell n5010. os is windows 7 ultimate 64bit.

Damn, I accidentally thanked you. I was saving that one since it was going to be the 100th thanks I was going to give.
Go to the market, download cat log or any other way you prefer to create a logcat and post it in the cyanogen forum, or here see if someone can help. I'm thinking it's something particular to your phone/radio/service provider.
I'll flash the rom either tonight when I get home or tomorrow when I have some time. But I doubt I'll be able to reproduce the same issue.
Edit: have you tried fixing permissions in 4ext recocery or whatever you use? Sometimes it helps.
Sent from a dream.
what does this logcat do and is it a android software or what? sorry for the noob question since i vent heard this logcat thing before.

Search for logcat and find which one you are more comfortable using. There are several ways of getting one.
Logcats help developers figure out what is causing the problem.

Stock installable ROM (with Root?)

Hey,
Are there any stock roms we can flash via CWM/TWRP? Flashed the CM10 rom, but can't stand how slow its made my wifi. Any input would be greatly appreciated!

Slow wifi? I have no idea what you're talking about as I don't think CM10 can affect that in any way.
TWRP is all we have so far, and CM10 is the only ROM so far. The only other ROM even remotely being worked on is MIUI but the person doing that says he will be without his PC for a few days.
If you really have wifi issues check other devices on the same network and use speedtest.net or something. If it really is oddly slow, I would re-flash.

It's definitely not my network, specifically occurring on the KF2 with the unofficial CM10 rom.
I'm not looking for another group release, but the stock rom; someone else mentioned in a thread being able to rename the amazon update .bin file to .zip, and flash with TWRP, but that hasn't worked so far.

[Q] WiFi fix from RichmondoUK

Hi guys,
I have seen that many ROMs implement a " WiFi Fix, thanks to @RichmondoUK ".
Does anyone know what this fix does? Which file is changed and why? Perhaps we can get a word from the original author (if he is not too busy with his new masterpiece)?
I searched all ROMs' threads and nobody goes into details. Someone mentioned libbcc.so, libbcc.sha1.so OR libbcc.so.sha1, and regulatory.bin.
The OTA update from Maximus changes these three files. But I would like to understand why...
Would someone please share (Rich?). Users on stock would be thankful...
Thank you,

why you want to understand it? all are happy to have good connection back so they don't care about what changed or not ... it could be that some of those files were f*cked up in some case by htc...so RichmondoUK just took those files from sense 4+ i think and it's working now all again

This 'fix' is unusable by "Users on stock". It involves editing system files, hence rooting.
How it works would be no good to you.

For the simple fact that I want to KNOW what I'm flashing onto my device? I've been wondering the same and couldn't find it.
For instance, if the driver normally picks the highest bandwidth when required and scales down to save power when there is no traffic; but the driver has a flaw and it 'forgets' to scale up and thus wifi becomes slow. There are several ways to fix that:
- Actually fix the flaw and make the scaling work
- Just force the highest speed and disable scaling thus trashing you're battery life
I would surely pick no. 1. Obviously this is just a non-sense example but it does outline WHY I want to know what it does rather than just accepting it works.
[edit] Come to think of it; I believe the question behind the question is "Is it a fix or is it a workaround/dirty hack?" [/edit]

"Users on stock" can edit all system files they want, provided that they are rooted (like me).
In other words, when I say on stock I mean on a stock rom (and not on an unrooted, locked phone).
I do change system files when needed, but I want to be in control of what are the implications on my phone. Hence, I was asking some more information. It's not that I don't trust the developers. I am thankful to them. I just would like to know what is in my phone and why a certain file needs to be replaced.
While the fact that trips kernel does not suffer from the wifi problem is explainable by the different wl128x firmware included in his modules, the solution from RichmondoUK/Maximus/etc remains a mistery to me.

I am thankful to them. I just would like to know what is in my phone and why a certain file needs to be replaced.
While the fact that trips kernel does not suffer from the wifi problem is explainable by the different wl128x firmware included in his modules, the solution from RichmondoUK/Maximus/etc remains a mistery to me.

Trip made his own drivers for WiFi...they are not completely from source so the HTC crapsh1t is not there...

So, to be sure.
The fix CAN be applied to stock rom when rooted?
On my stock rom, I get the WIFI issue and would like to fix this without having to install a complete rom.
If someone can convince me to install MaximusHD (incl fix) to be better than "root stock device and install fix only" I will do that.
In fact I'm pleased with the stock rom and any other tweaks are not really needed.

Yep can be applied...as long as your Rom is rooted you can use it
All custom roms are better then stock xD

MaximusHD has an OTA update for WIFI using the fix mentioned in this thread.
I installed it and now my WIFI is great.
My problems were disconnects, long connection times, very low bandwidth and throughput.
After fixing, those issues are gone and I can use WIFI even on very poor connections.
yo, and its better than arhd 31.2? thanks

Hello, I have no problem so far with wifi direct on DN3 V5 Rom. The problem was about the screen mirroring. It said "Can't enable screen mirroring because of hardware issue." Fortunately, I replaced the lib I found on xda, and finally it worked seamlessly by now.

You'll get FC Settings
try these steps
Before selecting file for sharing make a wifi direct connection with other device.
Then select file that you wanna share.
I guarantee that you'll get fc
if not then let me know

Hello, I did this many times for different firmwares, from official 4.3 to official 4.4.2, then this custom rom, and I never get a fc.
It's just a lib file that you can replace, nothing more.
I hope I can help anyone here with DN3 V5 Rom since I know how it feels like to be lost. Just ask, I'll help if I can. But, please don't PM me.

Well, because I found it here somewhere in XDA, I want to give credit to the creator, but I don't know who, maybe Dr. Ketan? By the way, if you feel it is helpful, press like for me. It won't cost a dollar, right?:laugh:

As always... You can dirty flash if you want, but if you have any issues, please do a clean flash before posting any issues to be assisted with. Thank you.

I'm sorry, but I don't have the same issues with my headset. Did you do a clean flash? Are you sure the headset works properly on other ROMs? Maybe it was a bad flash and you should try flashing again to see if it'd fix it.
Have a good one!

That's the proximity sensor and that's what it's meant to do. I don't believe there's anything to be fixed.

Love the ROM. I just encountered an issue. Basically everytime i reboot and press the home button the screen goes black. the status bar and nav bar are still rendered but they dont work. I can also open the power menu. Any body know what im dealing with? or better yet how to fix it?

I have not personally had an issue such as that. I would tend to recommend to re-flash the ROM verifying that the checksum is correct and that everything is wiped. If that doesn't correct it, I'd look into trying a different launcher, or even a different theme. If none of that helps, I don't know what to tell you... Hopefully someone else will have better advice for you.
Have a good one!
Hi there!
Been an user of your older ROM that I used to like by the time and then, Ive found this one that's been running great so far!
I wanted to point out an issue that I am using heavily on a daily basis (like 6-7h straight without interruption)
On a call with my earphone on, the sound comes out poorly to my ears, same goes for my voice to the other end.
But keep on the great work, I really appreciate it

I haven't noticed any similar issues on my own phone, so hopefully someone else may have a better suggestion than I could give. I would suggest, if you haven't tried already, rebooting your phone to see if it clears it up. If not, you may want to try to do another clean flash after verifying the checksum of the download, just to make sure it wasn't a bad flash. If neither of these works to solve your problem, I'm not sure what else to suggest. Like I said above, hopefully someone else has faced this issue and has a suggestion to better help you. Good luck!

Unfortunately, both method have already been tried out before I was typing my first post here. FYI Ive even tried the SoundHUD app to see if it could solve anything out but still, the issue remains.
Ill keep searching then!
Thanks for the fast reply btw!

Why do you need to do that? I used the latest TWRP and it flashed fine!
Flash 2 file DU_TBO_GAPPS_3-12 & DU_TBO_GAPPS_CLEAR_3-12 or 1 in 2, thank
Thanks
Everytime i try and Install a rom through CWM, it keeps telling me i have a T03G Model, But i 110% know i have a I317M (koodo variant) to be specific.
Somehow i flashed it on there somehow.. but cannot get it back to Stock (even odin spits out fails when using the koodo update file)
Voicemail Password
I just installed the most current rom you have available. I have used other roms and this is the second one I have had a problem with and not sure if there is a fix or what I need to do. Other roms worked fine but when I retrieve my voicemail I always get wrong password and I know its correct. I was reading an article that it may be possible related to the DTMF tones maybe not long enough I am not sure. Any assistance would be appreciated. Thank you
Unless it's a ROM specific issue, there is not a whole lot I can do until a patch has been merged upstream, so please understand when I am unable to correct issues that are beyond my control. Thank you.

I'm not sure... No one else seems to be having this issue, so it could possibly be something on your end. Make sure you're using the newest version of your recovery (TWRP is recomnended) and you've done a full/clean wipe before installing the ROM and one of the GAPPS I recommended. Good luck!
