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!

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.

Come on guys, stay cool, no need to start a flame war. The OP should definitely have read the documentation better, but there's also no need for such an exaggerated answer... could a mod please simply close this?

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:

damn, now im stuck using cm6 which is annoying cause i recently put on the newest cm6 cause the version i had was slowing down and well yeah now the phone doesnt vibrate which is annoying. no matter what i do it will not vibrate when i get a message or when someone calls me which is annoying cause im usually on silent mode 99% of the time and i need to be able to feel when someone has messaged me or calling me. and i need proxy settings for uni.. hmm annoying situation.
I think you can do it in CyanogenMod 7.
Here is a quote from the CyanogenMod forums:
"In CM6 there was a setting in the Wireless & Settings for the proxy.
In CM7 you have to long press on the desktop background.
Then in the list that pops up select `Custom Shortcut` - `Pick your activity` -
`Activities` - `Settings` -
toward the bottom of this long list is `Proxy Settings`
Add this shortcut to your desktop. When you then click on the shortcut you can enter your proxy
address and port number.
Works fine for me."

Hey, I've updated to Pie since 2 months and the data connection on the phone is horrible. Apps will randomly report no network or no connection. Is there a way I can reinstall the radio?
The phone is usable and everything else works but the bad data connection and it dropping out is really annoying.
