I'm stumped. And agitated.
I'm stumpitated.
Every Cyanogen-based ROM i flash, I cannot get Wifi or mobile web to connect.
This is true of all current Froyo builds (all Cyanogen) and roms like Droid Does.
Weird thing is, I can get connected to wifi and ping local computer IPs. But I cant ping any websites or load them in the browser or apps.
I am flashed to MetroPCS. Haven't had any problem in ROMS like PlainJain, xtrROM, Evil Eris, etc.
Anyone have any troubleshooting steps or insight? Thanks in advance - I love this community!

wifi works for me using Cyanogen-based ROMs i know for a fact because my phone isnt activated and i use wi fi
Are you using a custom kernel or something?

Not that I'm aware of - how would I find out? Do the ROMS themselves not define the kernel?
Beyond that, why would it work in all other non-cyanogen based ROMs?

I said Wifi doesnt work for me, not for you. Thats the issue altogether - it seems isolated for some reason.
I tried KaosFroyo, CELB and the CM direct, as well as DroidDoes (TCP's new cyanogen based). Can't get Wifi or Mobile to work on any other them. ROM doesnt matter, it seems to be anything cyanogen based for me.
Grdlock, Ivan, xtrRom, xtrSense, EvilEris, etc have all worked for me completely though - non cyanogen based.

Guys,
I know it works on other peoples phones. Not being rude, but I dont need a list of people who its working for. I'm asking for some help, some direction, some possible things to check.
Not to be off topic.. but can someone direct me to the CM direct ROM? I haven't seen that anywhere. Sorry if thats a stupid question lol
Its just the one with CM in the post title.

Try my flash for metro here:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=730289
As always make a nandroid backup first.
Make sure you have booted your rom at least once successfully before applying my flash (it modifies the telephony.db that will not be present until after the first boot)
The problem you are running into is that in the build.prop the carrier info is still pointing to verizon, once i changed mine to cricket it worked, i assume changing it to metro would work for you as well.
I believe metro's proper MNC should be 310024 if you want to edit it manually, if i recall off the top of my head, anyways my flash should set that for you and get you squared away.
EDIT**
Actually sorry i mis read this, my flash will not assist with WIFI but it should get your mobile network to route through metro's proxy and get MMS working.
This sounds like a ROM issue if wifi is not working, or something hardware related.

Already running your flash, boss
Doesnt make a difference on these roms for me.
Works nice on xtrROM, though
Hmm, so to clairify if you use CELB 2.8, boot it, then flash my flash, then boot CELB then reboot CELB that you still do not get mobile web/mms?
Weird, almost sounds like your not getting DNS or something.
if you do an NSlookup on like www.google.com, then on the phone try to ping the number you got from nslookup, do the numbers match or what comes back?
I think that this flash won't work for some Froyo ROMs for whatever reason.
Either Autostart doesn't start up (did it ever ask you for SuperUser permissions, ever?)
Or
u2nl needs to be in a different place (worth investigation)
Or
Your proxy is set correctly, so wifi is trying to go through the proxy (which may not work), but something else isn't working correctly, so wifi is looking through the proxy, but something ELSE is wrong with mobile network.
Do a nand backup
then restore yourself to a 2.1 ROM and make sure it still works.
Is the first condition I listed at the top of this post, the case? Or did it ask you? 2.2 might have a superuser issue with Autostart. That'd make sense, since the Proxy might be working (which would be why your internet won't work when wifi is on), but your Mobile Network won't (which, of course it wouldn't, of Autostart wasn't starting up).

Sorry, but I don't know what there is to "check". There are NO options or configurations necessary with the WiFi setup.

K, CELB 2.8 was the first Cyanogen rom to work, thats cool - but it didn't work with your flash. I had to do the manual input from the guide. I already had autostart.sh and u2nl in my root - does your flash overwrite them? still, even if it didnt, it should have set the right permissions, right? I wasnt until I input all the shell commands that I got mobile and app web.

This wouldnt explain while neither Wifi NOR mobile web doesnt work on either. I can't get either to work all all, and they both work on regular 2.1 OTA Roms (and now CELB 2.8)

Autostart asks for permissions, so I assume its starting i'll try again just to confirm. You mentioned the Proxy might be working which would cut the wifi - how do I get around that?

So I've been hearing a lot of talk about a spanish dev that dropped a rom on these forums that is faster than Super D, FastTEst, Cyan, all the eclairs and Stock roms,.....basically, top of the line and untouchable.
wow....
It is referred to as "SuperCSDIV4" anyone heard of it?
Haven't flashed myself yet, thought I'd get a few more opinions before doing so,
is this true?
Just installed this and did a titanium restore and excuse the language but Holy **** this rom flies!!!
I never thought i'd see the day a rom could get me off SuperD but well all I can say is 'Super who?'
Supsetup is an amazing feature here and has full swap/swappiness controls that work. Compcache is available through spare parts (currently not working) not that either are required. When you first start there is a lot of spanish things such as the widgets an has a spanish metamorph but titanium restore took care of that, even restoring my apn settings for me. the speed of the app draw is scary and somehow advanced launcher is built into the home itself. Also this has NO ramhack on it so 3d gaming is fast and furious if your into that. going to install beholdII 3D cube as well to see how it runs as it was slow and sluggish on SuperD and will update when I have more news.
All I can say is welcome to the future of the G1!
SuperD just lost its crown!

OMG.....Gotta flash this right away, thank you shadowch31
Everything seems to be working but the keyboard ALT symbols are different
on the keyboard, bluetooth, wifi, 3g, messaging, everything really! No force closures or problems, sometimes can stutter a little going to home but other than that this thing really is amazing. Had me up all night playing on it. I feel if compcache was working this would solve the stutter problem but still playing with settings.
Will update more as I play.
Okay fixed the keyboard layout, wasn't to hard to figure out and now have full UK qwerty keyboard with the correct ALT character set, anyone needs it I'll post a tutorial.
Also Fix_Permissions is a MUST! I was having a few issuse installing third party apps at first but this is now working thanks to the script.
I've found it best to keep home apps out of memory (spare parts) still working on the compcache problem but hoping to have that fixed soon.

I managed to sign in with google from the wifi at the library, but Google talk wouldn't sign in, so everything I downloaded from market was just at a pause....back home now, adb pushed a copy of Titanium back to phone since market wouldn't let me download, now restoring all apps and data with batch proccess, but there is still no data signal???not even edge, after restoring all settings with Titanium and rebooting should that bring data back?
EDIT: by the way you're right, this rom is smoking fast! Twice as fast as super d, if I get the internet working, Im sticking with this rom for a while!
Alright! That did it.....whewww..thank goodness for Titanium backup!
Everything is in place, internet back, settings, and apps restored. now to enjoy the luxurious speed this rom has to offer

Have you set your APN in the wireless networks
some people like to dive in head first then asked why so many sharks in the water...LOL
Yeah couple things here
Try downloading the other (PPP/RMNET) according the link someone else posted
But before that check out your APN settings (Settings-Wireless Settings-Mobile Network Settings-Access Point Names) (sth like that, haha). Make sure there's an entry if not you'd have to Google it (try searching your telco name and APN)
I suspect some roms dont automatically retrieve APN settings from certain providers. Happened to me couple of times.

I'm picking up my phone tomorrow. I was wondering if any of the tethering apps work with or without root on this phone yet. I know the more popular one requires a kernel with netiptables enabled. I'm not sure if the default kernel supports this or not.

I got the Barnacle Wifi tether working without much challenge thanks to the Devs in the other threads. Could not install it from the AppBrain market but was able to follow the links to download the APK and install it from the internal sd card. Tried to get the widget to donate too,but could not do so from the market place.

Me either, this is my first Android phone. I did a search for wifi hotspot in the AppBrain market and it came up. My limited test with it was good. Used the APN setup from other threads and rooted the phone, also described elsewhere. Then downloaded the APK and installed it. A fairly straight forward process.
Problem with PDANet is the huge cost when I'd only really use the feature when traveling. How is barnacle wifi? Does it support encryption?
I am using a basic WEP key, not sure what you want out of the encryption. Better to check developers web site, I know there are some challenges but it is a little out of my league without spending a long time reading about it.
Well WEP/WPA/WPA2 type of encryption so someone doesn't steal my limited data. Does it support WPA/2 by the way? WEP is pretty easily cracked these days, but it is better than nothing at all.
First off thanks to the developers who made this happen awesome stuff.

Speak with T-Mobile. MMS issues regularly relate to the service provider. You should ask them to remove then re-add your MMS capabilities on their servers and to be safer you should create your APN settings based on the info on their website.
What build? Cyanogenmod builds or modified sense builds (like cmys) include the files needed for mms to work correctly on tmous.. they've been working great for me don't even have to enter the apn.

So your location was taking you to the wrong country? I had that issue on an iPhone 3, hence I only ever had an iPhone for a week before returning to HTC products.
The English settings won't affect your location. Google maps will first ascertain where your location is based on WiFi and then GPS. WiFi will inherently be quicker because it doesn't need a lock. I would suggest turning WiFi off for now, are you using a proxy or Tor network direct through your router? That would suggest why it thinks you're in another country. If it's your GPS then that is an entirely different issue and you will want to read this thread:

Simply upgrade to GEN 2 and go for one of the best roms. Try each of these 3 for a week and then you will know which is the best for you. They are all great but each have different advantages.
The best roms are currently:-
Ginger stir fry

Elitemovils rom

CM7

These are in no order of preference at all by the way!

Also CM7 is shaping up nicely but still not 100%

and yes these are all GEN2 but really you should upgrade!
See the forum for details on how...its easy!

But that's OK, as you bought a GEN1...like you say here in OP:
hi i just got a zte orange san francisco, ive rooted it .

And Orange have not updated to GEN2, AFAIK......
Also, for speed, less lag, you can overclock with No Frills ...you have it with SS. Also, set VM Heap to 32M, (think that may be done already in this ROM).
And I suggest also Launcher Pro from Market, if you get WiFi fixed!!!
For the WiFi, did you wipe/wipe/wipe before flashing with Swedish Spring?
Did WiFi work on original Stock ROM?.......is your PSK and Encryption is set up OK?
Use "show password" when connecting to your Network, from settings/Wireless & Networks/Tap Wi-Fi settings/Tap your network(ssid)/make sure your WEP or WPA password is correct.
Does it work OK with other devices?
Do you have MAC address filtering in Router, if so check Phone MAC, or disable in router.
Is DHCP set up in router. Is phone set to Static IP?
More info in this networking tutorial

thanks but i updated to gingerstirfry which was much easier than i thought and wifi is working fine!
however not all of my music on storage is showing on the music player? i used a music app from the market but still the same problem
Ok good to hear you made the right move rom wise
Without knowing what audio app you are using it is hard to advise but almost all of the ones I have used need to be told where you have your mp3 files.
I make a folder and call it mp3 or music and then point the program to it and all is good.The standard player in gsf called "music" will pick up your files automatically I think.
Another suggestion:- Try Go launcher ex and also the dialer and sms apps from Go.
They are free and are as good as or even better than anything you pay for.
Go also offer a huge range of widgets and themes for everything also. I use go on my phone and also my tablet.
