[Q] WIFI Unable to connect....

This just happened about 24 hours ago to me. i noticed it says "unable to start wifi" also i think that affected my wireless tether.
My phone has the simple root done to it. I have Astro File Manager, ROM Manager, and like i said before i did the simple root with Unrevoked3. i am a mac user, i dont know if this second paragraph of information helps.
What should i do? should i just wait for the update to 2.2 that is supposed to be updated to my phone sometime soon? i tried restoring from an old backup and also tried to do a full system clean as well but still same thing. I am a newbie to this but i feel as though i have somewhat of a grasp on this.
Any suggestions or help would be greatly appreciated

You guys sure keep the mods busy around here.

that suggestion didnt help

I feel your pain, most responses around here aren't helpful... just negative... you'd think that if someone took the time to reply they'd just share... typical forum behavior though.
I can’t seem to find a clear answer on this… some say it works, others say it’s broke.
*watching in hopes someone can help*

yeah i am just hoping i get the 2.2 update soon and it fixes it. so i am guess i am gonna have to wait until then and then take it from there. unless someone has some ground breaking suggestion. cause, i've been looking around and it seems like this is a problem thats been occurring as of recently.

I have sky raider 2.5.2 and my wifi keeps trying to connect then obtain ip address then disconnects and keeps trying all over again why please?

so since nobody gave me any good feedback i decided to take on the task like a blank canvas.
Step 1: Reinstalled original Kernel
step 2: Full Data/Cache Wipe
step 3: reuploaded all of my data from last backup...
it appears everything is working fine.WIFI works great!!! I need to double check wifi tethering though. if anyone is interested i can repost if tethering is working.

Data issues

I keep getting data issues no matter what rom i flash. Ill have data one minute and out of the blue it goes out. Anyone else getting this?
White Hot! GS3.

Ive had bad wifi and updating the modem/radio fixed it. Someone once suggested data dropping can be caused by bad sim card.

Yea I was on Jedi Invasion Rom for 3 days with no issues but now all of a sudden Im getting this issue after trying other JB roms and even when coming back to Jedi Rom. data seems to be ok now but now i cant turn wifi On on any of the JB roms. Scratching my head on this one..
Oh well guess Ill head back to Triune for now. Have a good trip Old.
White Hot! GS3.

OK Old I'm back I tried to figure out why my data was tripping and why my WiFi was going on vacation on me but couldn't figure nothing out. I kept flashing a couple of different JB ROMs and even flashed a cm 10 JB ROM and still had the same issue. Also flashed 3 different modems but no luck. Now I dont know if it was the app i installed from the market called clean master to clean out all the junk from my phone or if its this last ROM(cm10 liquid smooth) i flashed that brought everything back to normal? You tell me!
I wonder what the thanks button is for?

I just had to recently revert back to ICS because of the my data being dropped through the whole day at work. I believe there is something wrong with the JB code. That is what I gather from the script readers at AT&T. Since I've been back on ICS I've even been able to squeeze out three extra hours of battery LOL!

Yes it is. At&t said my phone is the problem but when I reverted back to ice via Odin magically no data or dropped call issues.

oh alright sir. that's good to hear. did you have a backup image on your computer or you downloaded it from my thread?

I had a backup image on my computer. I.read this....its interesting and.may be a fix..
From a different forum by user Poseign:
I had this issue (the grey bars and no 4g/3g) about a week ago myself. Rebooting wouldnt fix it, resoring a nandroid wouldnt fix it, and I was starting to get worried that my radio hardware might have gotten borked.The fix was to clear my cache and dalvick cache. After I did that, my radio signal came back with no problems whatsoever. Coincidence? Maybe. But I'd like to think it wasnt

Wish I could say this worked for me, but I've tried that and it did not fix it, the only solution I found was going back to IC from JB.
YMMV
Catching a flght back stateside, hope to be able to delve into this further later. Wish I knew what the issue was, but reading posts here on XDA there seems to be lots of issues by folks with new JB.

Ok wifi is good but every now and then I loose data completely for like 30 seconds and then pops up again. And I'm in a LTE area
I wonder what the thanks button is for?

A very weird problem.. I need some help with!

Ok, So I have an Epic 4g flashed to Cricket, I have made everything work(mms,test,talk,ect.) I have it on Android 4.1.2. My problem is I only get 3G and its not very dependable. I live in Phoenix, A.Z. Anyone have any ideas on what to do?

Did you change anything with the phone recently? Did you recently move homes?

Look, I'm trying to assist you. If all you are going to do is plead for help over and over again without providing answers, then I cannot help you.
Have you done anything to the phone since you last had stable connections?

I think he's implying that that's how it's always been, or possibly that he has done all of this within the last few days. However long it's been, to me it doesn't sound like a recent issue that has cropped up.
Just my obversvation though. Unfortunately that's all the help I can offer heh

I don't use a MVNO, so I am not sure which regular troubleshooting steps would clear away your carrier settings. (I'm thinking using EFS Clear in Odin is the only concern, but that is sometimes needed for modem issues.)
Based off that rom's thread, you must be using the NS4G modem. Since your issue is with connectivity:
Perform a CWM backup of your current setup.
Flash an Epic modem rom and FC09 modem. (You can flash the modem using CWM. There's a thread in the dev forum w/ links.)
Try testing connection again.
I'd normally tell a Sprint Epic user to boot into FC09 multiboot and update profile & PRL, but I don't even think the PRL update would work for you. I'd then say, start from scratch by using Odin to flash FC09 with repartition checked. If they still had issues with connectivity, then I'd recommend using EFS clear in Odin when reflashing either just the FC09 modem or the entire FC09 tar.
Because you are on another carrier, I'm weary of suggesting you use Odin so quickly. If you haven't already, dive into your phone settings and document your carrier specific info you changed to get it working. This way, if you end up doing something that resets your original changes, then you can reconfigure it.
So give the suggestion that is listed above a try.

Since I'm very much a noob myself, I'm only tossing this out to possibly trigger an idea for someone else: Would perhaps the issue lie in the Build.prop or one of those similar files? I've poked around so many of them I can't remember which hold what tidbits of info... I know the Build.prop holds most of the primary carrier info, but I seem to recall another one that stored a bunch of info for a bunch of the other carriers (though that might have been for roaming and may not be of any help here).
*shrug* Otherwise, I's gots nothin' lol

4.4 no mobile connection? no baseband? no IMEI? solution

It's been said a few times that SELinux settings have an effect on mobile connection on some phones, not all, but some. Mine being one of them, that theory has also been criticized, ironically by those who's phones do not suffer from the issue. Anyways, if your trying a 4.4 ROM and have no APNs, no baseband, IMEI etc grab SELinux mode changer from the market, set to Permissive and be on your way. Why or what causes it is beyond me but changing to Permissive solves it. It takes a few seconds after boot for supersu permissions, a few seconds then for your APNs to be populated and baseband, after that you will get mobile connection working.
Hope this helps someone else fighting the same issues. Here's a video showing before and after, a little wait at the APN screen the second time for them to be populated. Also, sorry for the quality, just easier to record the screen directly compared to holding a camera.

Glad it was of help, just passing on what I have read and tried to make it easier to find so made a thread for it, some of us have the issue but appears the majority do not.

I had the issue initially when installed with twrp, did it once again with cwm, worked like a charm. Good info to keep in mind though.

anybody got the apk handy they can upload? flashed the latest cm nightly not knowing it was 4.4.1, and the store won't connect via wifi for whatever reason.. i'd rather not have to do a clean install to get my phone working again.
Thanks.
Nevermind, I managed to pull it from the woman's unrooted moto x. It's here if anyone else needs it..

just out of curiosity. vAre you guys having any issues with the AOSP roms slowing down the data speeds? I know people have said for a long time since GB I think that the tw roms are much faster than AOSP I never saw that on HSPA+ but I am on simple moble and they just turnrd on their LTE and my phone gets an average of 28 down and 14 up. on tw roms but on AOKP or other AOSP roms it gets 8 up and 3 down. Like the lte is not working. Anyone else have these problems?

I love you.

Thanks, you have saved me the headache of reverting back to stock and the time it would take to start all over from scratch. .

man i wish i knew this eariler. i wouldnt have gone stock then back to 4.4. thanks for the info!

Thanks finally found solution to my problem it was only happening to me with 4.4 PAC ROMs

[Q] Everything keeps refreshing!

I'm using the Verizon version, vk810 lte, and ever since the last OTA I've been having a pretty unique problem. Well at least from what I've been able to find. Maybe I'm phrasing things the wrong way but the best way I can think to describe my issue is that every now and then my entire system just refreshes, no shut down, no warning, no overall crash. It does not matter what app I'm using at the time or even just being in a system menu or home screen. When in a menu or home screen everything just sort of refreshes as if I just turned the tablet on, if in an app some times it will crash, some times it will just redraw, and other times it will just restart the app as if I just opened it. I have had an error msg pop up ocasionally that google play services has crashed, but not always. I have tried uninstalling apps, a full factory reset both from the menu and from recovery and it just keeps coming back even right from stock. Some times it does it right away and some times a few days apart. It can happen every few minutes or every few hours. The only real pattern I've noticed is that it will always do it twice within no more than 30 seconds or so. I've kept this device stock, no rooting and no roms. There isn't much support out there for the verizon version (and yeah I know why and that verizon is a pain no matter how you look at it) so I haven't tried anything to drastic. I'm not sure if flashing the stock rom will do anything and there isn't an image with the stock recovery out there that I could find so I'm reluctant to try it. Maybe next OTA update will fix this but that's some what of a piss off. I'm still under warranty but with the way Verizon does it now all I'll get is someone's refurb. I've also tried installing different versions of google play services but I run into all sorts of issues with that and I'm not even certain that's where the problem is. Can anyone think of what else I could do?

First, and I hope you don't take it the wrong way. Please next time make paragraphs every few sentences - it makes it much more readable. As it is, I just skimmed it to get the jist. No offense meant, and I know it sucks to have a malfunctioning device.
It's definitely not the latest (that I'm aware of) official stock ROM's problem. I've been using 23A, which as far as I know is the latest OTA, for a month or so, and I don't have any problem like that.
If I were you I would start back at the complete beginning. Use the one of these three threads for downgrading to the old build of 10B, I think it was, re-root using Stump, and re-upgrade using the KDZ of 23A I provide in one of the other of these three links:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2800857
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2797190
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2990481
If that doesn't fix it, I would suspect a hardware issue unrelated to the ROM. By the way, if you downgrade to 10B and it still has the same problem, then you know it's the device itself, and you can just go ahead and process it under warranty without upgrading the ROM.
Good luck and let us know what happens!
