[Q] Wifi Scanning Connecting Disconnected?

Seems like as soon as i rooted the phone it killed the wifi.....It detects networks but when i look at Wifi its jumping back n forth between scanning and connecting before it just rests at Disconnected...I wiped and switched roms even have the updated PRl and changed modems.....Same result....Any Ideas?

I have the same problem. Hopefully someone will see us floating way out here!

guys this has been discussed quite a few times in here... try this thread http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1272226

That thread does not solve my issue....My Sleep Policy is already set to never........

And my wifi doesn't constantly scan.... it Scans for a couple of seconds...Saying its connecting but then just Says Disconnected....& keeps doing that same loop

It happened to me also I fixed it though, I downloaded the wrong kernel version did you root using this method? http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1342728 if so then you probably just downloaded the wrong kernel version, so just download the one you should of and it should fix it. hope this helped!

[Q] GPS help

I downloaded fake gps on my a100 and set myself to monaco for a laugh....
big oops that was, now i can't get back home...
When I connect to mobile 3g or anyother wifi, the gps is fine, but at home on my hub, it allways sets me to monaco.... (wish i did live there!!!!)
I've deleted fake gps, and reset my hub.. nothing works. It must be linked to my wifi at home but how can I get it working again......
Thanks in advance....

Try this: go to settings > developer options > uncheck allow mock locations.

Done that. Even done a reset agps state.... nothing.... only reports wrong GPS state when at home..... annoying more than anything

On the market it says to disable the use wireless networks option in loction settings to avoid the issue you are having. Have you tried that?
Sent from my A100 using Tapatalk 2

Tried that, no joy. (or very very slow). Fake GPS obviously set something somewhere that needs to be reset. Grrrrrrr. Wifi GPS all ways worked fine before.... not a major problem this, just a tad annoying ....

Are you rooted? You could try deleting the files in data/GPS/...make a backup first of course

I am rooted. Cleared out /data/GPS and made no difference... still in Monaco.. ermmmm weird..

Try an app called faster fix, and reset your GPS pool it may trigger a re center on your location.

Downloaded and run. Selected UK and hit go. Message at bottom says failure, please try again'

Try deleting your home wifi, rebooting, and re- adding your home wifi. It has to be something associated with your home wifi, since it works OK everywhere else. If that don't work, email the app dev.

I looked at the app in play store to get email address and noticed they have now put a warning on the description to make sure you disable use wifi for GPS before running to avoid problems.
Grrrrrr if only they had put that before I'd run it... others beware.
I have emailed them and will post reply.
Cheers anyway all.

Got it sorted. Original dev of app didn't help at all, just said look in forums....idiot.
I reset router, turned off wifi GPS and left tablet for 2 hours getting a GPS signal. I then turned on wifi and it worked..... oh well... cheers for help

Could somebody give me a link to or send me the GPS directory files. I will try deleting mine and copy the working once.
My GPS is still dead...not even a single sat after hours. I have tried the patch No2 now I am going to try the No1 Patch.

Hey filking - I had the same trouble as you with fake GPS and I've tried all the recommended steps you mentioned but to no avail.
Do you mind listing them out step by step what you did so I can make sure I'm doing the right fix?
Many thanks

[Q] WiFi problem with signal strength

Hi,
I have problem with WiFi connection. 2 days ago, everything worked perfectly, now when I bring closer my phone to router's antena, I get full signal strength. When I'm on 3 meter distance from router, I get half of it, and from another room I don't get signal at all... Other devices can connect to WiFi normally.
I have already done all tricks found on google, but still without success. I have tried turning off wifi powered save mode, setting 'no background processes', setting up dynamic routing... Any other workarounds, suggestions? Does factory reset resolve this issue completely?
Thanks in advance!

Install the wifi fixer app.

Just a question, what kind of router is it? Brand/model.

Also unplug your router and modem for about 30 sec. Then plug back in and try again.
Have you flashed any roms or mods, installed any apps in the last few days?

Hi,
Thank you all for replies. There is nothing flashed, everything was working just fine last week. I have already tried by unpluging router and modem but still without success. Also for informations, I have done 'factory reset' but problem remains same.

Are you rooted? Custom rom?
If you have made a nandroid, make a new one and restore back to the original. If it doesn't help just restore the newest again.
Go into Settings > More Settings. Make sure everything is off. (Wifi calling, wifi direct...) try different combos of settings.
Did you check if your router has any fw updates avail? Try changing one or two things in the router setup like password and ssid.
Do you get a normal, good connection on other networks? Like at work or the bookstore?
Sent from my SGH-T999 using xda app-developers app

I'm assuming you have admin rights on the router, log onto it through a browser and check the settings. There's all kinds of things that can get screwy.

I had the same problem. I turned on airplane mode. Them turned off airplane mode and the WiFi connected again. Again this worked for me.

[Q] Endless scanning wifi and other wifi issues

Does anyone else have there phone continuously scanning wifi, once every 5 seconds or so, even when connected? Just go into wifi settings and see if it is scanning often. Additionally i get a lot of "Connected to abc network" messages in other applications when i thought my connection was established already long ago. And often find that even though im connected it is not passing data. I get ping times in the 200 + range to yahoo.com when a computer on the same network gets 50ms ping times. The wifi is the only issue i have with the phone, but my old S3 did not act this way and i want to know what everyone else is seeing, so i can send it back or get it fixed.
Thank you!

Check in your settings menu.
Settings>Mobile networks>connections optimizer.
Make sure thats unchecked

yeah it is turned off and the wifi power saving mode is off too *#0011# menu one. Same deal though...

Are you rooted? Maybe fixing permissions in recovery would help? Pretty sure it did for me.

I recently have been having this issue. 4.1.2 LJC trying to figure it out.. Reboots seen to temp fix it.. Just tried fix permissions so I had to reboot but will chime back in if it completely is fixed

How would fixing permissions, fix wifi scanning?

Couldn't tell you it just did. Resetting my phone and router didn't do it.

One solid day after fixing permissions seems to have fixed it Lol. Did you happen to flash some morphology? Just asking

Another option would be to set up profiles. And disable wifi all together in the profile you use when your out and about. And enable it in the profile you use at home with your wifi. And then just switch between the profiles.

Need Some Major Help Please

I have had my Galaxy Nexus for just over a year and have been running MMuzzy's version of Android 4.3 since July 30th. Just today, my phone stopped connecting to my home router, and I have literally tried everything to fix the Wi-Fi connection. First I did the simple stuff like restarting the phone and putting it into airplane mode. Then, I tried forgetting the network and re-entering the password, and wiped the cache and the delvik cache. Finally, I reverted back to Android 4.2.2 with a clean install, but I still don't have a working Wi-fi connection.
When I click on the profile, it barely flashes "connecting" and just reverts to "Saved, secured..." I know that this is not a router issue since my laptop, roommate's phones and laptops, and my girlfriend's phone all work fine.
Does anyone have any suggestions at all? I'm worried that my phone is done-zo.

Have you tried connecting to another wifi network with your phone? You could also try to create a wifi hotspot on another mobile device and connect to it. If both works then you know at least that your GNex' wifi hardware isn't broken.

Total shot in the dark, bur have you updated the ROM to a new version? Maybe the dev implemented a kernel or some change to the kernel that caused wifi problems for you.

Upon waking up, my phone once again reconnected to my Wi-Fi. Totally bizarre, but 4.3 has been a complete crap shoot so far. Thanks for the replies, much appreciated!

probably you only had to reboot your router..something was wrong assigning the ip address to your nexus

Or DHCP pool was full.. Meh. Boring thread.
