[Q] Wifi doesn't work after radio flash - Touch HD General

Hello everyone! That's my first thread.. (I'm Italian, sorry for my English)
Some month ago I've flashed a new radio. When the Touch HD restarted the wifi stopped to work properly. It can connect only if I put the Touch HD very close to the wifi router. If it is farther then some cm it doesn't connect.
I've already tried to flash another radio as another ROM, but still doesn't work..
Any solution?

1. after a radio rom flash, you should perform a hard reset, because otherwise pre-existing connections (saved wi-fi networks, bluetooth pairings) might not work anymore after the upgrade
2. if you have troubles with the signal strength, you can set wi-fi to max. performance instead of battery saving, depending on your OS rom the way to those settings might vary.

I've done the hard reset and set the wifi to max, but signal strength still very low..and still unable to connect to the network..

if you revert back to the radio rom/ OS rom combination you had before (when it still worked), it should work again. if it doesn't, do the full routine, flash back a stock rom, then your spl, rom and radio again, in combination with task 29, it must be the exact same state as before. otherwise, there is only one reason: a hardware defect, maybe the antenna cable of the wifi card got unplugged or there might be something actually broken. but given the exact timing of the events, a software reason is far more likely.

i also having this same problem too and i did flashed back to my stock rom and it still the same once i thought is my wifi faulty but when i try Android porting my wifi work flawlessly now i cant go back to wm. just wonder what has happen

Problem reconnecting to GPRS

Hello. I have have a t-mobile mda with TNT4.0 Rom. I have set up t-mobile data connection as well as the proxy and internet works fine. However, if go into a no-reception area(subway, tunnel, etc) the data/voice obviously disconnects. When I'm in the clear again the voice bars show up but where I typically see E (EDGE) I see an "x" as if there is no data connection available. If I soft reset the data connection is there. Until I soft reset, there seems nothing I can do to fix the data connection. I go to connection settings, tap on the modem and click "connect" but nothing happens.
When I click "sync" in ActiveSync, it starts to sync and then stops after a few seconds and says "waiting for network".
Is anyone experiencing the same problem? any way to fix that? WHen I had T-Mobile ROM, I did not have this issue.
Sometimes things like that dissappear if you just flash the same ROM over the top of the one you're using. You don't list what radio rom your using, but it might be that too. You should probably start by flashing a new radio rom, either 2.19 or 2.69 since they seem to work the best with WM6 and then reflash TNT 4.0 if one of the radios doesn't fix it.
i had exactly the same problem (G/E sign visible..internet working but after a while X sign and i had to reset or turn the phone feature off and on to get it working again) when i was using other WM6 roms and it was so annoying that i planned to move back to WM5 but thanks to Orhan (he had the same problem) now its fixed.
for some strange reason, the only solution is to use NBD ROM and your problem will be solved. im using NBD 8.1 (without touch. after the ROM you can choose to install touch or soft reset it after setup to get a vanilla wm6 o/s) and its extremely fast and stable.

I've installed 2.19.11 radio ROM and so far I am not having any GPRS reconnecting problems as I did before. Thanks!
No problem, glad I could help.

3G and GPS perfect! --> After reset:gone with the wind

Ok this is some frustrating ****,
ive been installing roms and radio's all day long
and none seemed ti fix my problem. Now after installing The R8 and thena dutch rom. It worked fully my gps found sattelites from inside my room. My 3G was getting 3 bars. I thougt i made it happen. Then a message appeart, that my phone provider has been found and he starts configuring, after that he asks for a reset. But then BAM after the reset no gps signal.
This happens everytime after a rom installation. First resets seems to **** it up, whass up with this?
don't reset?
maybe try flashing original ROM to rule out problems with hardware?
did you flash the murato radio yet? my dutch polaris was ****ed up after the first radio flash. Murato fixed the issue.
hé it is the murato radio that i installed.
But its not working correctly after reboot.
Damn this is frustrating!
Maybe you could help me getting the original rom with original radio for orbit 2 uk. Don't care if it wm 6. Except for the german one going around cant seem to find the originals.
i think it is "connection setup" cause the problem.
after i flash 1.68radio and apllied"china connection setup",signal is not good
sorry for my poor english
hmm....i flashed yesterday swtos v0.96 and it's really great. i use the new radiorom and everything is better.

Stuck in phonecall

Hello,
I was using multiple ROMs with RADIOs 2.05 and 2.08 and everywhere was this problem - when I calling to someone and press End Call (HW or SW button), phone doesn't end calling, only button get grayed, but it is still ringing.
Please, do you know what could help? Thank you.

i get that issue sometimes as well.. i found it worked ok after i made sure the in car bluetooth was automatically allowed to connect to anything it needs.. followed by a soft reset.. should only be the once though
Ok this is interesting. I had never had this problem but now I have flashed to Flashmores latest and the ROM is great and fast (and yes I did hard reset after flashing) but now I have this problem.
When I'm in a call none of the touch keys work. Cant access the keypad or anything. Really annoying.
I have to use the hard key to kill the call.
Any thoughts?
Oh and I dont have a bluetooth headset!
GG
It's independent on Bluetooth and same problem is with hardware- and software- keys (buttons).
I have the same problem...Which ROM versions do you have? mine problems started after flashing ROMs from TMOUS...so versions 1.7 to 2.10...I will revert back to older ROMs...
I think this problem was also in stock ROM about 1.42..
Hi guys,
For those problems, I advice you to do these steps in order whenever you want to flash a ROM (stock,shipped,cooked ROM). If you want the stable ROM for daily usage... just flash the shipped ROM
-Choose Clear Storage in you current ROM.
-Take out your SD card and Format it by (FAT32)
-Connect your Device to PC and do a MTTY... You can read this for more details (do it in careful way)
-Then Flash the Shipped ROM 1.66 I suggest the 1.66.405.2 WWE.
-Do not hard reset after flash... I mean let your device through the "Customization" first then just skip all setting and Reset the device. While the device is getting reboot... Do a hard reset
-Setting up all things.
Hope this help
it doesn`t work I think this problem is according to radio ROM. I will flash another...
i had this problem yesterday and have fixed it
ceratin roms are only compatible with certain radios
for example yesterday i installed SONE 2.5 and i couldnt make calls, it would freeze
i looked at the ROM requirements and i was using a radio not supported by the ROM
simply change the radio respectively to the ROM
This problem, which I'm describing, is something other. RADIO patch is okay (I think), but phone is "slow" during phonecall and phonecall cannot be hanged out..

Atrix keeps crashing (wifi?)

I have an ATT Atrix with 4.5.91. A couple of days ago, the Atrix started crashing 10+ times per day. It always happens if I try to turn on wifi, but happens other times too. Sometimes wifi will show error, instead of turning on. Bluetooth has been spotty as well. Any ideas? I tried reflashing 4.5.91 already.
Did you flash any ROMs? Kernels? Is phone unlocked?
Please, give more info....

Have you recently installed any apps that are using internet connection?
Install one of the firewall apps for android and monitor what's happening when you turn on the wifi.
It is unlocked with the 4.5.91 pudding + preroot sbf. I had the upgrade.zip version on it when I started experiencing the problem. I then flashed it with the 4.5.91 mentioned above to see if that would fix the issue. I have not installed any new apps recently, but some could have updated I suppose.
Just out of curiousity.. what Radio are you using?
I have never flashed the radio specifically. My baseband version is N_01.77.30P.-
I am also having this problem. I currently have stock 2.3.4 on ATT and my baseband version is N_01.77.30P. I've never rooted or unlocked my Atrix, all stock.
When I am able to turn wifi on, it will sometimes connect but only for a few seconds. Then it just reboots multiple times. If I am able to get it running, it says error by the turn on wifi option under settings. Mobile hotspot doesn't work either. If I keep wifi off, it doesn't crash.
I've tried restoring to factory settings, both through the factory data reset while the phone is on and through android recovery, but neither help. Any other ideas?
thanks
Backup your current rom. Flash stock 2.3.4 via fastboot. Wipe via fastboot. Reboot. --> problem solved

I tried that. The issue persists. I am thinking it might be hardware based.
Absolutely the same Wifi problem for me.
I'm on stock 2.2, rooted and deodexed.
Never has any wifi issues previously. And it's started for no reason.
Last program i installed was Tunein Radio and it worked fine about a day with Wifi. Not sure it's related.
Tried to restore my old cwr backup, but it's not helped.
A friend of mine had this problem with his atrix. His was stock ATT firmware never modded or unlocked. I factory reset it and problems persisted. His wouldn't connect to wifi at all. I believe it was hardware related, so if you didn't void your warranty, return it. If you did, you can ask Motorola to fix it... see what happens.
Side note: I kept the malfunctioning phone away from my functioning phone as I did not want it to get any ideas.

This happening to me now. Still no solution for this? My atrix:
System version: 4.5.91.MB860.ATT.en.US
Android version: 2.3.4
Baseband version: N_01.77.30P
Kernel version: [email protected] #2
Build number: 4.5.91
If I set the IPaddress, it wont connect. If I left the IPaddress blank, it automatically set to 192.168.1.253
Help please, thanks.
(FIX): go to wireless settings go into advanced settings. Click on sleep settings chose NEVER! Problem solved! Try it works

If I were you, I would contact at&t and see if you're still under warranty (by default motorola gives you a 1 year warranty). I have had the same shutting down issue with 3 atrixes. my 4th one is actually in the mail and should be here today (wooo... kinda). I also believe that the atrix has a very bad issue with hardware. Ive tried tons of rom, stock and others such as cyanogen, and this issue persist no matter what software you run.
I've had issues with WIFI/Radio causing regular crashing, especially when trying to switch to Airplane mode. I'm running CM7 (stable) and 77.36 radio. I've been able to resolve the problem by booting into CWM and reflashing both CM7 and the radio. Sometimes I have to reflash the radio a couple of times. Eventually it seems to take and then the Atrix is quite stable.
For me, the instability problem occurs whenever I reset the battery stats. After I perform the steps above, it seems to resolve it.
Anyway, if you're running stock, I'd recommend downloading a copy of the radio you're using and try reflashing it a couple of times via CWM before you give up on the phone.
I had the same problem. Returned mine under warranty. They told me that just the day before me they had someone come in with the same problem..
Well... started having this issue recently myself, not too sure exactly what had caused it. I had been flashing a few of NFHimself's Gobstopper's, after my phone took a nose dive (one of the screen shattering, battery flying and denting variety) and I started getting reboots. I hadn't had a chance to play with it prior to the nose dive, but I do know that I had reset the battery stats (something I DON'T normally do when flashing) so I'm hoping I can replicate the fix of radio flashing.
Right now I'm going to keep re-flashing ROM's and Radio's, so far just trying the Gobstoppers 2.2.2 and upwards as well as samcripp's Fruitcakes and this radio, I'll be sure to update if this works. Pretty sure I've voided my warranty a few times over already (unlocking, plus the shattered screen kinda shows signs of abuse) so returning isn't exactly my first idea.
I'm guessing that it would seem to be related to this battery stats issue, as my GPS seems to be working and I'm fairly certain that it is the same chip that controls GPS, WiFi, and Bluetooth. So unless it's some very specific hardware based issue, this is my best guess.
If anyone is aware of any other potential solutions to this issue, or knows of any other Bell Mobility (Canada) radios/ROM's, I'll be more than happy to try your suggestions!
I had a similar issue. My phone would crash multiple times a day. It started after att released an update. I read somewhere that it could be an app causing it so I went into taskmanager and had all apps end after use with the exclusion of pandora and navigation. Problem solved. Not sure what app was causing it but I never had a single crash/random reboot after. Phone was unhacked and the only update on it was the last official one released by att (sorry can't remember the number. I've since upgraded to a Cm7 rom).

[Q] Why does my Wifi & Bluetooth not working even with stock rom?

Hey guys,
I have a Galaxy S4 (i9500). I installed Omega ROM v22 on it and everything went smoothly, Wifi & BT working perfectly.
After a few hours of using the device (nothing special at all, texts and stuff like that) - I noticed my wifi isn't working and by not working I mean that I click the wi-fi button and it changes from gray to the mid-state between gray to green for around 20 seconds before it goes back to green ago.
If I open the menu to see my networks it just says "Enabling" without any networks there.
I had to drive somewhere so I went to my car and tried to enable Bluetooth, and same thing happens there - Bluetooth will not turn on and will stay stuck on mid-state between gray and green for a while and go back to green.
I flashed omega rom v22 again and the problem was gone, or so I thought. I went back to the car for another drive and realized the bluetooth issue is back - and when I got home I realized the wifi issue is back as well.
I figured I need to reset everything so I tried the following:
Full wipe (including dalvik and even including "internal SD card") and then flashing stock rom (from the official website, stock rom of my country).
The issue was back after a few hours. I do not have BT or Wifi access. Yesterday Wifi suddenly started working for a few hours but then it stopped working again.
I really need help! I have no idea what to do with this issue!
Well rule number one when you have problems after flashing without wipe.
1. perform a full wipe and see if the problem persists.

Tried that, no luck.
What else would you try?
In some places when people had problems with Wi-Fi they said to flash a different kernel but I don't see why I would have this specific issue with Omega Rom and why the default kernel with it wont work well?
Maybe this could be a root issue? My root works fine but I have this weird gut feeling like this is some permissions thing that's going on.
I'm trying to think why it would work right after the wipe but then stop working shortly after.
Another symptom: It randomly started working for a few minutes and then stopped again (around three hours ago).
Any idea what's going on?
Well, if you fully wiped and didn't restore any apps and settings then it can be two other things.
Or it's a bug in the rom or a hardware failure in your phone.
I would suggest trying a different rom first. Do not restore anything, not even your google account.
wi-fi fix?
Do you actually have an i9505? or is it a canadian or att version? if its the latter sometimes the devs offer some wifi-fixes, also try a different kernel. otherwise it could be that your radio/modem are not compatible with the version of the ROM you are flashing.
Tried arrow ROM and this issue doesn't seem to happen in this rom. Hope it stays like that...

Sadly, it did happen with this rom, after just a few hours.
I'm now using stock rom and still suffering from the issue.
Does anyone have ANY idea what I can do to fix this?
Thanks in advance!
