Hey guys. I just rooted my E4GT and didn't install the kies application first. My phone is rooted and everything seems to be functioning except for the wi-fi. Whenever I go to turn on the wi-fi, it turns on, scans for a network and then the wi-fi turns off again. Am I boned? PLEASE HELP!
epic 4g wifi broke
Same for me, after Rooting with oden the wifi searches and then turns off, any help?
I'm sorry you're having the same issue. I haven't found any solutions yet. Would you please keep me in the loop if you find one? Isn't there an IRC channel where some of these guys go and help answer questions?
Something went wrong with your flash. No worries tho you just got to go back to stock and root again. Are you familiar with Titanium Backup? If you are back up all your user apps + data. Then ODIN back to factory restore. Then auto-root with this method. Lastly restore all your apps with titanium
this happened to me but i fixed it easily
forget your wifi
connect again with password and repeat it again until it works maybe 3 times

This is good advice. Do what Kogama recommends and you should be up and running. If not, hit the "HowTo's" link in my signature and follow the steps for a Hands Free Reset. Fast. Simple. Effective. Probably a good idea to do one anyway when you make major changes such as rooting or ROM hopping.
after i rebooted the wifi stopped working and i cant get it work again actually..where is this hands free reset i cant find it only the activation which I also did again
Just_s and Kogama - That method did not work for me. By time I had typed in the WPA key, the wi-fi antennae had already shut itself off.
BUT
KelvCast - your method totally worked. Is it me or does this antennae get piss poor signal strength? But I thank you VERY much for helping me. I'm all good to go. Now on to trying to figure out my write permissions on my Kindle Fire =/
for kelvcast's way you have to completely change your modem back too right? ....damn
im running a completely different rom btw...

"Hands free"is the same as "activation". Sorry that didn't work for you. The only time I had an issue with WiFi, "forgetting" the connection and then logging in fresh was what worked for me. Any other data/ connection issues I've had have been resolved via the hands free reset.
As far as your other question, you don't need to change modems, but it won't hurt if you do.

I have the same problem as OP. Rooted using the Zerg exploit, running stock ROM. When you turn the Wifi on, it only gives you like 5-10s before it turns itself back off, also the MAC address field shows unavailable.
Assuming it's an issue with the root process. The odd thing is mine worked fine for over a week, and just randomly died today while trying to connect to wifi at school. Was going to reflash stock kernel with ODIN, and see if it effects it at all.

How do you forget your wifi?
Hated to do it, but had to flash stock ROM, just the kernel didn't do it.
I was having the same problems... flashing rogue kernel 1.3 fixed it perfectly for me. Hope it helps

My WiFi is working fine with the method I used. Rooted phone and everything.
Not sure if I will be keeping Sprint anyway.
Did a speed test on my moms old LG Verizon phone running at 600mhz. Compared it to my Sprint SGSII running at 1.2ghz dual core. On the LG, I get a little more that 1/2 a meg per second (which is decent in this area) as compared to .01 - .1 meg per second on my SGSII. So there is a BIG difference in speed. I know its not the phone, but the network. Going to do my due diligence and keep the sprint phone for at least another day. But if it goes as it is now, I will be going to a Verizon store Sunday and switching carriers again. Sprint doesnt seem to be better that TMO. Sunday is my 3rd day so if I return everything to sprint, I get a full refund.

Yeah it's hit or miss. In my neighborhood, my buddies with Verizon pull down 1/3-1/2 more bandwidth, but my phone works in any basement in the area and theirs doesn't, go figure. In the mid-town/downtown areas both carriers perform about the same around here (Omaha, NE).
Now if you're talking WiMax and LTE thats a different story altogether.
As for the Thread topic: I think I know what broke mine- I restored a bunch of apps using Appextractor, and think restoring the "Settings.apk" in the system section toasted it. I tried flashing a few different kernels to no avail (Did not try the rogue kernel, however).
Lost WiFi after rooting Epic 4G Touch
I have been fighting this problem for a week now, finally I installed clockwork mod following a youtube video titled (How to Install Clockworkmod on the Samsung Epic 4G Touch - Latest) sorry cant post link new user arent allowed to post links. my phone was already rooted. I now have my WiFi Back.
Hope This Helps
I have tried every method I have been able to find.....Still no wifi. I rooted via this guide (http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1265429). After following that guide my wifi did not work. Just scans and then turns off. Does not even see any networks. I flashed the stock kernal. Still no wifi. I don't know what else to do. I am going to try a factory restore. If that doesn't work I might need to send my phone in.....This blows.

Factory data reset brought it back
I am on my 3rd GS3. The issue I am having is that my Navigation programs (default and telenav) will search and search for satellites, but won't connect. But when I restart my phone, it will work fine for a day or two then back to no connection.
I have spoken to Sprint and this is an unreported problem... until me. So, Sprint will replace my device. I am unrooted and completely stock. I know that Sprint is in Nashville, TN working on installing the 4gLTE towers. It isn't live yet, but they will turn on and off periodically.
I have searched these threads and I have not heard of any others with this issue. My first GS3 was rooted, but I have not done the two replacements. This has only occurred on an unrooted device.
Has anyone heard of this issue and know a resolution? I am considering rooting again to see if that is a fix. This is not a horrible issue, it is much better than a device that won't boot, but any help is greatly appreciated.

Currently Rooted running the people's rom (3.06) GPS works flawlessly. I have tested and used Scout (By Telenav) Telenav, and Google Maps with no issues at all (tested in FL, MS, And parts of AL during my drive there and back) Haven't had any issues tho.
Mine worked fine while unrooted but started not initializing for startup apps that needed it after i rooted it. I would have to go to the app directly for it to start the GPS. Otherwise the app would continuously look for location. Unfortunately I haven't been able to narrow it down to any one Rom or kernel. Any one else with this issue?

I have the same issue but haven't been able to figure out the cause either. Notice it mostly when I set my destination from my house, and wifi connected, then change location after leaving, and phone has kicked over to 3G.
Sent from my SPH-L710 using xda app-developers app
Before I returned my phone for another replacement, I decided to delete all of the apps that I had downloaded. I then rebooted my phone. After 2 days, it worked fine. I then began installing apps one by one. I figured the problem had to be app specific and only apps that use gps. There was one of two apps I decided was the culprit: Facebook or JuiceDefender. I installed Facebook and it worked fine for 2 days. Ample time for the issue to appear. I have figured out that all along JuiceDefender is the problem. It is shutting off GPS like it is supposed to, but not turning it on when it is supposed to. The problem started when I reverted to stock and took the OTA Android update. I am just embarrassed that it took until now to look at the apps as the problem and not the phone. I am going to contact JD and let them know what I have found. I hope there can be a fix, JD really works well... except for my gps!
Anyways, look at apps first as the problem child before running to a repair shop (like I did!) .
Hope this helps others...

JD is designed to disable data connection to conserve battery, You can set it for a threshold where it will keep the connection alive if it's transmitting information back and forth.. (Must have Ultimate for that i believe) So if your disabling the data connection, then it'll kill GPS.
It is set on balanced. That is why I didn't think of juice defender first. Never had this issue until android updated.

I am having the same problem. My GPS will work, but for me, it's only for about 15 mins or so (while in an App that starts it). Then, if I stay in the app, it will just lose connection. If I exit the App, and the GPS turns off, then when I go back it, it will not turn on again. It isn't like it is searching and it doesn't get a signal...it never turns on. The only thing to bring it back is to reboot. I noticed it while on a custom ROM (TPR) and thought it must be that, so I flashed back to stock. Still the same thing. I then tried doing a factory reset. Still not working properly. Anyone have any other ideas?
Thanks in advance.

I took it in to Sprint they said it was the bad antenna and will give me a refurbish phone. This phone is less than a month old and why I will take a refurbish phone. Like I bought a brand new car and come in for a fix and they took me to the use car lot for a factory certificated car.
So I sent to Samsung and they claimed replacing a part and got the phone back, same problem is still happening.
Anyone can help us on this. It seems a common issue to a few of us.
Here is a simple GPS fix that works well.

Hi, im fairly new to the S3, just switched from my Moto Atrix but i seem to be having an issue with the GPS. I used my Atrix for my Car Nav using Google Nav and always set it on my dash, but my S3 will work fine for maybe 10 mins (differs) and then loose signal. Once i restart the phone, it works great again, and then will eventually loose signal.
Ive tried making sure its out in the open, but still cant ever lock. Just bought the phone at Best Buy last week, but i use it everyday for Nav as i drive all over town.
Its running 4.1.1
Any help would be great.

Do you use any battery saving apps? There could be something making it close the GPS or location access after some time.
When you lose signal, did you try turning off/on your GPS/location access?

my wife's stock s3 began having gps issues after she updated it to 4.1.1. ultimately, i had her back everything up and then i performed a data wipe (stock recovery), flashed stock firmware in odin, and wiped data/cache in stock recovery again. no problems since. kies' essentially dirty flashing the jb update onto s3's seems to cause problems for many
I'm not sure really what all that meant lol. I bought the phone new and it was stock with JB.

many, many users are having gps-related issues on stock 4.1.1
many are having these issues sometime after performing the update themselves. essentially, any kind of ROM update that does not include a full wipe before install (dirty flashing) can mean that there's a chance it might have a bug here and there. i fixed my wife's gps by:
-having her backup all her stuff
-downloading the stock firmware for her model/carrier (located in the android development section)
-booting into stock recovery to wipe data/factory reset and wipe cache
-booting into download mode and using Odin to flash the stock firmware
-booting into recovery again to wipe data and cache
no gps problems since.
My phone is all stock and always been stock still with gps issues. Even tried wiping again and still no luck. Sometimes it works for a few days no problem, other days it has issues 3 or more times a day.

Probably 6 weeks or so with no gps issues. The gps problems began after the 4.1.1 update via kies. They were intermittent initially but then worse and worse. All good to go now
Mine works great underground!
Mine.. Underground.. Do you get it?
My SGH-i777, and SGH-S730M usually get decent GPS reading wherever I am.
I try not to use them too much, I am pretty sure that the GPS can kill battery (wasted battery for something I usually don't need).

Hello! I know this is a common thread, but i'm desperate!
My GPS is not locking at all, i left the phone for 10 to 20 minutes and i got nothing...
I'm using the CM10.1 MoDaCo ROM, but i tried so many ROMS, fixed configuration files, walkthroughs, etc, but none of them seem to work.
I'll list all the methods that i try so far.
1) Flash a fixed configuration file
2) Change the ROM: i tried with the stock 4.2.2, CM10, CM10.1 Nightlies, CM10.1 Experimental, MoDaCo CM10.1
3) Flash different radios. I live in Chile, so i tried UGLL1 and UGKL1
4) Clear data of Google Services Framework, restart, etc
5) Used FasterGPS to set my location in the right area
6) Used GPS Status to improve AGPS
7) Change the build.prop file
I tried every method and the combination of them, but nothing has worked for me so far....
The GPS is very important for me because i use it to track my rides with Strava, and since the GPS is not working, i cannot start the application...
I really need help...
I use a Galaxy Nexus Maguro without Wallet and live in Chile. I cannot tell exactly when the GPS started to fail, but at least in the stock 4.1.2 it was working perfect, so i guess it started failing when i updated to CM10 and then to CM10.1.....
Ok try this if you haven't.
In settings turn off all location. Reboot
Make sure location reporting is still off.
Clear data on Maps force stop maps
Reboot
Clear data on maps and force stop again
Enable location
Get gps lock with maps or easy gps.
Might not work but I have had your same problem and this fixed it .... good luck

Hi!
Thanks for your answer, but unfortunately i've already tried this method with no succeed. I tried again but it didn't work...
Thanks anyway, i'm going to try to roll back to stock 4.1 (because the GPS was working with that version)
and if it really works i'm going to upgrade to 4.2 to see if i can find the error...
If someone else can give me a solution i'll appreciate it!

I already tried, but with Android 4.2.2 and it didn't work.
Before i flashed the 4.2.2 i was using stock 4.1 without problems, so i believe, and hope, that this is a software issue in the 4.2.2 update...

Well, i returned to Stock Android 4.1.2 using Fastboot, but the GPS didn't work either... So i updated via OTA to 4.2.2 and the GPS didn't worked again...
But i noticed that the Nexus S belonging to my sister, wich uses CyanogenMod 10, is not working either!
So i have a doubt now: Is it possible that CyanogenMod could have ruined our GPSs? If i erased everything via fastboot, is it possible that some remains of CyanogenMod could still be breaking my GPS? Or are our GPSs, strangely, broken at the same time?!
Please Help!!!

Out of my realm of expertise, but I imagine the sirf chipset is not user serviceable. Your best bet would be Samsung factory service. I'm sorry.
Well, after giving up on trying to solve my GPS problem, it fixed itself.... i know that sounds weird, but the only thing that i did was update the CM10.1 to the latest RC2 and the problem was fixed, at least partially. Now it can find some satellites and it takes like 100 seconds.
The Gnex GPS isn't the best one, so it behaves a little weird some times, but at least is fixed now...
I really don't know what could be the problem, because i tried with almost any Rom, officials and no-officials...
Finally, the CM10.1 RC2 fixed my problem, hope this could help someone else.
Enable wifi & mobile network location in settings
Should be some code in 4.2.2 that prevents you from getting AGPS data if you disable the said option.

The problem is fixed now, but i tried everything, from rolling back to 4.1 official to 4.2.2 official, CM9, CM10, CM10.1, AOKP, etc. So i really don't know what could be the problem. I also tried the solution that you told me, but that didn't work either.
Right now, with CM10.1 RC2 my GPS is working great and i'm able to use Strava again.
I've been having the same issue. I'm running a Stock Verizon Galaxy Nexus, on my third one now. I have tried everything from apps, to resets, to disconnecting the gps, and nothing seems to work. It just seems to take forever to get a GPS lock, sometimes I just have to reset it. Not sure the issue, and I can't seem to find anyone with answers either. IDK if anyone found anything??

Cold start gps can take up to 20 minutes outdoors with a clear view of the sky if you don't have current agps data. Thereafter, you should have quick starts for a day or two.
Is your data working properly? Do you have sync settings turned off?

My data is working just fine, I actually have great 4g where I'm at, and all my sync is turned on. I've never had GPS problems with any of my other phones. I had an EVO 3D, and it worked great, cold starts would take seconds to find GPS.

And you have certified that all the gps settings/permissions are turned on? Even in the Google settings app?
Since you are stock, it might be helpful for diagnosis to preform a factory reset.
Edit - I see on another thread that you have already performed a factory reset. Next step would be to flash the factory image and see if that helps.

Thanks, I'll have to look up and see how to do that without root and boot loader unlocked, this is my third Galaxy Nexus from Verizon, they keep replacing it and I keep having the same issue
And yes all setting have been turned on, kind of driving me nuts
I'm sorry for you. it must be very frustrating.
As far as flashing an official factory image, I think you can do it unlocked if you have adb set up. Or use a toolkit, unlock, flash factory, relock (or not, why not keep it unlocked?)
I've tried searching google for a solution, but to no avail.
Generally when you search for the title of this thread, you come across plenty of solved problems where devices could connect to the hotspot but not connect to the internet.
My issue is different. Devices cannot even connect to the hotspot, attempting to but eventually failing. I own a brand new Nexus 5X. My brother also has a Nexus 5X and they can all connect to his hotspot. I've tried switching SIM cards and rebooting but no device can connect to my hotspot. It is not a carrier issue as both sims work in my brother's identical phone.
I am really hoping it is a software issue. I want to avoid flashing all stock software (using flash-all.bat) and want to know what I could flash to fix my hotspot.
The phone can make calls and connect to the internet, no trouble. The internet does not drop out when I attempt to turn the hotspot on. However, sometimes the hotspot will attempt to turn on, fail and attempt again. It will loop like that until reboot if that happens.
Modifications:
My brother's phone is stock and the bootloader has never even been unlocked.
My phone has the following modifications:
Unlocked Bootloader
TWRP Recovery
Cataclysm ROM (the latest one, Android 6.0.1, build number mmb29p)
Ultimate Performance (link: http://forum.xda-developers.com/and...od-ultimate-performence-blazing-fast-t3482317)
No custom kernel (unless ultimate performance counts)
All other images are stock.
Please help. I would rather not have to buy a replacement, as I'm pretty sure unlocking the bootloader voids the warranty.
I am having the same problem. DNS never seems to get registered. This goes for tether and bluetooth connection share.
I managed to break something when trying to fix it, and so did a full stock reset. On the bright side, my phone's hardware is fine. On the downside, I forgot to back everything up before I broke it >.<

"broken" means 2 very different things to me and you when it comes to phones

I use the terms break and broke loosely. I am still pretty new to android and modifying it, so I often "break" the software when playing with things I do not understand. I look after the hardware though.
The obvious step would be to revert back to stock image and enable/replace your components one by one, so you can see which one is the cause for your non-working hotspot.

So re-flashing fixed it for you? I'm having the exact same issue...
EDIT: Just for future reference, reflashing everything from stock images (7.1.1) fixed this for me as well!
