[fixed] Mobile networks showing up as being connected but no internet?

original post
i've looked everywhere for a solution to this.. but no luck.. i have a MT3G and have been switching roms here and there.. have had no problems what so ever with mobile networks (2g, 3g, ya know) and i just switched from kings legend rom to cyanogen 4.2.15.1 and noticed that it said it was connected to 3g but when i try using the browser or any app that requires internet it doesn't connect..
so after all that, i decided to switch to super d to see if it was cyanogen being weird on my phone.. and i'm getting the same issue on this one.. (even after i wipe and everything before flashing)
any ideas?

if anyone is curious
I realized that before i started having issues with both of those, i did a restore using mybackuppro.. and this seems to have been causing the issue.. fixed now after i flashed cyan again and haven't restored any apps

[Q] Please help! JT1134 Superclean

Hello, I just flashed my first ROM (JT1134 Superclean). I did it with no problems at all however, now that its up and running I am having some problems with reception/3g. I never really had a problem with reception or 3g before but now that this is flashed it seems that I am constantly losing service every minute or so.. and same with 3g. I am having severe problems with accessing the market, most of the time I get "Network Error" unles I'm on Wi-Fi.. every once in awhile I will get lucky and be able to access it via 3g.. any ideas?
Also I used Titanium Backup Pro Key to backup all my apps however, after I restored my user apps and I go into the downloads section of the Market it doesn't list any of the apps.. so I won't be able to get any updates that are availabe??

What phone version are you using?
Dj05 Di01 - vzw?

How long have you been using superclean? and where did you get v .7??? I was only able to find .4!

Market is having an issue with connectivity right now. I'm experiencing that too. It's just a temporary thing. Nothing to worry.

Ok, so I just flashed my backup that I made before I flashed superclean and I still cannot access anything via 3g.. I hope superclean didn't somehow mess up my 3g... I'm in the central Ohio area.. anyone else experiencing problems with their 3g?

MikFroyo 4.5 WiFi problems

I'm trying out the MikFroyo 4.5 ROM and was liking it until I noticed download speeds over WiFi. The throughput seems to be incredibly SLOW compared to my previous ROM (Rebirth-ACrom), which was blazing fast. Funny thing is, though, that the Speedtest app shows fast speeds. And yes, I did everything properly, including wiping data and cache before flashing the ROM and testing before restoring with Titanium. Is there a fix for this? Otherwise I might have to look at a different ROM, such as SPRINTLOVERS or Myn.
And for that matter, Market downloads over 4G seem to be a bit slow (closer to 3G speeds) as well.

my wifi is fine, no problems here, wipe data, wipe cache/dalvik and system. i dont like myn, heap size is too small
at one point my wifi got shot and killed and could not use it. but figured out it was a kernel issue, so try another kernel like the sbc kernel

Did you restore any system data with TB? If so, that may be the issue.

I'm having the same issue. I noticed my wifi has problems scanning for networks, throws an error "Unable to scan for networks" and then turns off the wifi.
I did do a TB and a restore with it, but I only restored the apps and data, not system files or data at all.

I had the same problems. I finally had to uninstall Mikfroyo 4.5 while I still had hair left. I think it had something to do with the addfree app. Open addfree and select revert then try using Titanium back up to clear all data and uninstall addfree. That might help. If I remember right the addfree app was installed with the ROM.
I never understood why my phone always ran so slow in every department while using what was supposed to be the fastest EVO rom so I finally just flashed something else. Currently using Myns Z rom and my wifi is blazing.

I was having the same problem, changed the kernel and solved the problem.

I'm currently experiencing the same issue where it's unable to scan networks. What kernel did you end up flashing to NiMiNuM?

Running Mikfroyo V4.5 Also with a No SBC MoreHavs Kernel and I am finally in a 4G area and connected to it with good signal, but when I go to use the hotspot setting it tells me that I am not subscribed to Hotspot service. Will let me hotspot 3G but as soon as I get 4G up and running it tells me that message, any ideas?

Unfortunately I did not notice the problem right away, but having the same prob. Interesting thing I recently (this weekend) tried a few(Virus,Misfit,MikGinger) of the new leaked sense gingerbread roms. I also switched kernels a few times, but have the same problem across the board. I did catch where something borked in the buildprob could cause this. I can still tether my laptop, just will not scan and therefore can't connect via wifi. Besides doing everything correctly I do nandroid backups before changes. Unfortunately i delete older ones (space issue). So my oldest nandroid is mikfroyo4.5 with the scanning issue. ANY IDEAS?

I found from upgrading to 4.61 that the problem was with the dalvik-cache chewing up the entire cache partition. Once dalvik-cache was moved back to the data partition, the problem resolved. And 4.61 still has decent app space.

I have been using MikFroyo 4.5 all this morning and haven't seen any speed problems. On the WMU campus I was clocking in at around 1.3MB/s (not mbps)

As I posted earlier I had the unable to scan problem. Once I gave in and did a complete wipe/data reset my problem was solved. If all else fails....

[Q] Syndicate Rom 1.0.2 wireless tether error

So im on Syndicate rom 1.0.2 and i like it alot. its realy fast and smooth. but ever since moving from 1.0.1 the wireless tether app (3.0.9) doesnt work. When i launch the app and click to start tethering it starts initiating the process but freezes right where its trying to use the hotspot and then it makes the phone reboot. Any other verion of this app will FC. Can some one help please? i have reflashed the rom properly a few times and that didnt help. I also tried the tether fix file that k0nane had on his thread and didnt fix anything either. I tried downloading the hotspot fix from Syndicate page and those links dont work anymore. Can some one please help?
EDIT: i have it set on epic 4g in the settings.
Also does any one have a way to fix the tws bug? (i do know the airplane mode trick but was looking for a fix not a workaround)
thanks eveyone in advance....k0nane, thank you for your hard hard work bro

You mentioned 3.0.9 - I assume you mean -pre9. The version included in SRF is 3.0-pre11. You probably shouldn't have flashed that fix, either, because it was for 1.0.1 only.
I'd suggest you remove any copies of the Wireless Tether app you've installed, and reflash 1.0.2. You won't lose any data. See if it works for you then. If it doesn't, uninstall the preloaded version and try others. Wireless Tether is a finnicky beast, but that's expected - the 3.0 branch is experimental for a reason.

Thanks. I will try that and get back to you. And yes I meant the version that came with rom. I will try and get back to you.

Hey I tried everything in your instructions and still the same thing. I knw this wireless tether thing is in experimental stages but it worked fine on 1.0.1. I actually wasnt able to use the pre10 on that rom version so I had downloaded the 2.0.7 version and that worked fine. Do you think it might have to do with the hotspot app ? because i notice wireless tether freezes and phone reboots when its trying to launch hotspot. I notice from the notification when hotspot becomes activated the phone freezes and reboots..

Issue resolved
Well, thank you for your help again. After trying every thing from flashing the rom to uninstalling and reinstalling the wireless tether app I got tired and almost gave up. Then I started playing with the app settings and it turns out that choosing the LG Optimus under Device-Profile is really stable and works the best for me, so far no issues.

I was going to say i had issues which were resolved by selecting EPic 4G(my phone ) in settings. I was able to launch and see it but did not have internet access until i selected my phone as well.

I also selected Samsung epic but this did not work for me. what worked was LG Optimus! it is strange but it works ;-)

I didn't have to do anything and it worked fine for me. I set up Security on it but that's it. Especially with all the ROM flashing I wonder why your phone seems especially finicky. Good luck.

I had errors similar to this when using the app, my problem was that I had 4G turned on already when launching the app. Turning 4G off, launching the app establishing a connection and THEN turning on 4G works perfectly though.

mine would not work either I went to settings and changed my device profile to epic 4g and my set up method to softtap for samsung. that seem to do the trick.

My wifi network vanished after updating to CM7

Hello!
I've just installed CM7 in my Defy. It's working very well, except that my home wifi network is not appearing in the available networks list!
This happened too with a friend of mine that come to my place some weeks ago, with a Sony/LG dunno-the-model also running ICS under CM. But I didn't look into the problem as I he would only be staying a couple of days.
Now I noticed the exact same thing happened to me. And my network was working perfectly with the stock 2.2.1.
Anyone have any idea of what's happening? lol

In the wifi settings, is there an "avoid poor connections" option? Donno for sure because haven't used CM7, but in CM10 is like that.

No =(
There's only something related to wifi sleep policy, MAC and fixed IP.

Looks like the problem is related to Wifi Channels (CM doesn't search after channel 11), as I've seen in CM forums.
I'll test it by the night and I'll post here if it works.
