Non working WiFi or Mobile Web on Cyanogen ROMS

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.

No prob dude, I know what you meant. Didnt mean to sound ungrateful
Its just such a weird thing, and I feel limited by it, and the fact that it seems to be so isolated is irritating.

Works for me on CM5 and CM6 ROMs.

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)

I use xtrROM 3.0 day to day, and its always worked. So yes, it still does.

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?

reading a bit more would help

you would of found this if you would of read up before you started downloading

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.

Nand wifi problem.Help needed.

Hi.
I tried out the nand version of the android and, it seems that i can not connect to my wifi network.
It does not see my network, it is not listed in the available networks list.
Tried to change the router config, security options,WEP,WPA,WPA2, but still no luck.Tried to connect manually, still no connection.
Tried Cotulla s rom, the cyanogen rom, and the desire hd rom, still the same issue.
If i go back to winmo, wifi works great, android from sd card works great, so i really do not know what the issue is.
Anyone any ideas?
thank you.

Are you restricting access by MAC address, by any chance? At least on gauner's HD build, it's 00:11:22:33:44:55, so not your usual address.
If that's the problem, you can add that address to your router's list of allowed addresses, or perhaps edit /system/etc/calibration as described here.

Checked in the router settings and the MAC filtering is off, so this should not be the issue.
the mac address is what you said 00:11:22:33:44:55.
Any (other) idea?

Hmm... Regional differences in allowed wifi channels? Is your router set to use a channel above 11?
A bit of a long shot, this.

Yes it is 12 or 13 i do not know for sure, but why is it working in winmo and sd android?

Thank you for your help.
It is not working. But...
I flashed the NexusHD2 and it has some option in the advanced wifi menu, called REGULATORY DOMAIN and i can select how many channels to use. I selected 14 and it is working.
So it was like you said, something with the last channels.
Now working great, and the download speed is.... freackin fast.And 205 mb free storage.
So thank you.

Good to hear you got things working. Was actually looking for a similar option on the Desire HD build I'm running, but couldn't find it. If you ever decide to use a different build, you might want to check the Market - I'm sure there are a few apps out there that can make this sort of change.

Wifi for all nand version gives error (not turning on at all) whene trying to turn it on
wm and sd android version wifi work greate
please ignore Problem Is Solved

gps secret code (solution found)

anyone found the gps secret codes to turn on and off such as standalone vs assisted gps etc.. none of the sgs normal codes appear to work.

*8329#
Never live in the past but always learn from it.

are you sure doest do squat on my phone.????

try these
*#*#1472365#*#* - GPS test
*#*#1575#*#* - Another GPS test

already tried them..
the first does not work.
the second goes into a sort of menu but not the one i/we need to set the normal gps options.

I don't have the S2 yet, so can't test this, but on my SGS I use Any Cut to create a link directly to LbsTest. You might give that a try.

The option for assisted and standalone GPS is in the settings menu.

Sorry, not sure how to determine that. In Any Cut I select "New shortcut", then "Activity", and select "LbsTestMode". It creates the shortcut. I've tried the "Edit existing shortcut" function but it just sits there with a blank screen, so no help there.

that may work fine except there is no "lbstestmode" in the list on the sgs ii

here is the fix.. well mostly the antenna and cns tests dont seem to work or cns is broken on our phone.. anyway
take this app.. copy it to /system/app with root explorer or adb push.
(need to be rooted)
then use anycut (free in the market) to add an activity shortcut to this app (secret codes still fail to work)
i have set mine to coldstart a i like etc. and now am getting much faster initial fixes after running get position test.
accuracy is still **** and much higher than my sgs.. but not sure the sgs was not lying about accuracy.
strange they didn't include the lbstest app in the roms

I think GB comes with AngryGPS.apk (lbstestmode was for froyo/eclair), and the code to invoke it is *#3214789650# if I'm not mistaken..
Don't have the GSII though, so can't confirm..
Edit: Attached a AngryGPS.apk found in the I9000 Android dev forum

Since you have this working can you tell us what the default setup is for the SUPL/CP settings? On the SGS many people got better results by modifying the Server to either "supl.google.com" or "supl.nokia.com". I know this could turn into another mishmash of user tweaks and deadends, but it seems Samsung has not fully resolved all their GPS issues.
(I don't have a S2 to test with, so relying on those here to help me make a buying decision. Thanks.)

new solution here is angrygps.apk
i asked someone in the sgs forum to post it and they did
again copy to system/app with root explorer or adb
and use anycut to create shortcut
works fine on our phone..
as for the other answer the default is hot start (which i change to cold start)
and also for suppl settings
it is
supl.google.com
7276
but supl secure socket is on.. which was not on on the sgs i
so i turned it off on mine.. (who the fff cares if your gps data going over the net is secure)

Thanks.
Just as a suggestion if you are having GPS issues you might try using supl.nokia.com, 7275. I've tried every tweak on my SGS and using this supl server definitely works best for me, as well as a number of posters on the SGS forum. But as always YMMV.

Disable AT&T wifi auto connect?

Does anyone know how to disable the auto connect to AT&T hotspot feature? It is not checked in the wifi settings but doesn't seem to work and appears it's being ignored. Thanks

Anyone?

Someone will reply if they do.... not like they are trying to withhold the answer... I want to know as well, won't even allow u to forget the network...

That doesn't work as the OP has already mentioned. I also have it unchecked and it still automatically connects when I'm at a Starbucks or something. It's really annoying.

Yeah this is annoying, I think it's a bug because the AT&T N3 I had before didn't do this.

Oops, my bad. Missed that part in the OP. But in my defense, it was rather verbose.

it's not a bug, they force your phone to connect so it uses wifi instead of cell network, you can't disable it without root, even if you turn off "auto connect".
You can edit the values with Root Explorer to get rid of it though
open Root Explorer
mount as R/W
go to data/misc/wpa_supplicant.conf
open wpa_supplicant.conf with text editor
(this is a list that tells the phone what order to connect to, so you'll notice that the "attwifi" named one is above your usual home wifi network, that tells the phone to always connect to ANY wifi spot called "attwifi" over other network. Also notice where it says "key_mgmt=NONE"? That means it's coded to connect to any access point...ANY access point, named "attwifi". So if you hate your neighbors and they have ATT, rename your router "attwifi" and their phones will connect to it automatically and you can have your way with them )
anyways,
delete the set of coding that says:
network={
ssid="attwifi"
key_mgmt=NONE
priority=3
}
reboot
enjoy secure wifi

Worked gr8, tnx!!!

I know this is an old thread and for LG to boot, but when I delete that code in my wpa_supplicant.conf file on my Note 3, it just comes back on the next reboot (would running a custom rom, FireKat, make a difference)?

You can try by steps:
1. Access this file: /system/etc/wifi/default_ap.conf.
2. Delete:
network={
ssid="attwifi"
key_mgmt=NONE
priority=3
}
3. Factory reset.
It worked well to me. Good luck!
