WiFi Problems? - T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989

Hey guys. So my phone is having problems with WiFi not turning on, it will turn on sometimes but just stays at the Gray slider saying WiFi is turning on. I'm not a noob with android . But is this a hardware problem? I was on stock ICS rooted and tried cm10.1. I didn't try Odin yet tho. Thanks.

Doesn't sound like a hardware issue. First thing I would try is wiping data, cache and system in recovery and re flashing your rom. If that doesn't work, I would definitely try Odin.

Yeah I tried all of that. I hope its not a hardware issue because it turns on sometimes. I'm going to try Odin soon

Going from ICS to JB can do funny things when doing it through recovery. Not all partitions are overwritten using recovery, so you still have some ICS stuff there. It's always best to use Odin when going back and forth between different bases, if possible.

To me it sounds like a kernel problem. Try clean flashing a ROM and a corresponding kernel version

Smooth and the battery life exceptional I have found that doing certain things I would do on other aosp and aokp based roms give me black screens then I have to re boot
like changing dpi and messing with tweeks in rom tool box.
Other than that this rom is refreshing

JC is probably the go to man with this question, but I know the KERNAL must have init.d support for it to "take".

I'm assuming from reading the original post, it says it has Kobridge's init.d scripts baked in, so the KERNAL included in the ROM must already have that ability for those to work...
Anyone feel free to correct me.

I'm sure this probably isn't your first time using odex me, but just in case, I remember it seems to take forever to complete. Like hit ok on reboot and odex.. Go make a sandwich (preferable a deluxe), come back to the phone and (depending on how many apps you have installed) eat the sandwich and you might get done eating before it's done... Forever,

Yeah I've used it several other times and it does take forever, but usually during reboots (thought I bricked on my first use). This time it just hung on the app screen saying it was going to reboot and I hadn't loaded any apps yet.
Made a sandwich during my nand reload though lol

Lol.. Good one.
I have had that happen to me one time as well. It turned out that the KERNAL I was trying to use it with didn't have init.d support. I'm not saying that is the case here, but generally (unless you're odex me app goes bad sitting on your SD card waiting for its next use) I don't believe the app is ROM specific. Build maybe(FE07/FE10 etc...)? I don't know.

I'm sure its build specific at this point, the ROM is still quick as hell without it though.
And so u know, that was the best damn BLT I've made.

flashed this earlier today from the stock unlocked plus kernel (coming from agat63's tfe10 rom), and upon rebooting i got an error stating lbe privacy guard couldn't start because it didn't have root access. then i tried loading up rom toolbox, and it too was borked.
so i went ahead and wiped data/cache and re-flashed the rom, but still i had no root. i wiped data again and flashed back to tfe10 and i was back in business.
bad download or rom not compatible with flashing from fe10 unlocked recovery?

I too am having this issue and it started when I installed an LK8 rom and went back to an LKC rom. I even went and downloaded and installed a complete factory LKC image using Odin and it did no good. There are lots of folks having this issue all over the 'net and no one has a fix that I can find.
I tried freezing it with TB, but then any apps that require root access won't work. Very frustrating to say the least!
I got mine replaced from sprint because I was within the 14 day limit. In the process of doing that I realized, theres an option in the twrp recovery that deletes your internal drive, so that when you try to reboot it warns you that no os is installed. I believe you can flash a stock rom after that. Then just start over and reroot.

Landscape and portrait jacked up

I'm running liquidsmooth rc8 with a touchwiz launcher and I just flashed the ASDK 4.1 final earlier. Everything was running fine until I went to send a msg and I'm holding the phone upright but it goes into landscape mode. When I turn it sideways it goes into portrait mode. I did a reboot, toggled auto rotate on and off and back on and it would fix itself for a minute then go back to the problem. Anybody else had this or know of a fix?

Anybody? It never had this problem before I installed the ASDK kernel. However it wasn't right away with the new kernel. It was a few hours after I installed it

Have you read thru the rom thread? If its a rom issue others surely will have reported it.
Otherwise it may have more to do with the flashing method you may have used than with the rom itself.

Only a few problems here!
I've been using Wicked since ICS days with very few problems. Had an issue with Bluetooth that was resolved by wiping and reflashing the ROM back on ICS.
Since switching to Jelly Bean, about the only issue I've had is S Beam and/or Wi-Fi Direct connection/file sharing. In the two cases I've had, a dirty flash has fixed the problem.
Other than that, the ROM has been great for me!
Good Luck!

Are you restoring data or any backups?
Have you searched in or asked in the rom thread to see if its a common or known issue?
I think someone else had a similar problem. (Isnt lmt related to some app called pie?) If so uninstall and reinstall the app.
Otherwise, try clearing data for lmt and force stop. Then reboot and see if it still acts up.

I'm personally glad you started this thread. Because of my low post count, I can't post in that forum.
I've only been using this rom for a couple days and I love it. The only problem I've had was that I can't seem to get the Awsome Beats to do anything. Changing the settings doesn't seem to make any noticeable difference in sound quality. I know it's not a big deal but I think it would be a cool thing to have since I use my phone to listen to music almost as much as I use it to communicate.
I'll admit that I didn't read through the 1000+ pages but I did do a search of the thread and didn't come up with anything.
Oh, I'm using the stock Samsung music player, Songbird and Pandora to listen to music.
Stock kernal as well.

Leaning towards CM10.1 though.

I was using CM10.0. Updated CM10.1 with corresponding gapp.
-Can't register on cellular network anymore. Can't set AWS frequency in the factory testing mode.
-All of my Video apps start legging, play videos for a little while and quit after about a minute, say video format not supported. Even though the video is mp4 format and it was playing it before quitting.
How should fix it? Flash kernel? Which kernel should I use?

Also still on the non-touch recovery, 5.0.26 the one that needs the Darkmod scripts to wipe cache and do full installs.
Also had to turn sensor on/off before it actually worked. Read that from another post from someone that helped me.

No custom kernel. Flashed it days ago...reboot occurred today...Yes I did wait the 10 minutes after initial flash.
Is this a known problem? Would a custom kernel like uber kernel be more stable? I really like this ROM so far as is.
