then when trying access the wifi settings the phone stuck 4 a while then reboot
then I cannot turn it off any more and it's On always but Unable to search for networks and now Bt can't be on any more, and when I turn on debugging mode the phone stops and the reset too.
I tried:
1- Restore 2.1 and Full WIPE with xRrec
2- Restore 2.1 and Full WIPE with CWM
3- even I used Flash tool and E15i android 2.1.1 http://www.multiupload.com/VKNI6Q6ET5 (2.1.1.C.0.0 latest firmware)
4- Using SE PCC to repair ..... No luck with any
5- With flash tool I flashed this: (X8 Shakira E15i_2.1.1.A.0.6_generic.ftf) then used SEUS to repair and it updated my phone but nothing happened
6- reinstalled GDX 017 then used SEUS ........... still nothing!

2- cannot access the wifi settings
3- cannot turn it of
4- when try 2 access WIFI Settings the phone Reboot

With seus it should work! Try to format sd card, then via seus reflash to stock android and try wifi, if its work then root your phone and try anything else.

I'm really Sorry but I Need my phone back to work as it was
And I'll not play with Custom ROMs again NEVER EVER
THANKS IN ADVANCE

If your phone is new, then flash back original firm (2.1), then take it back to the store you bought it. It's maybe NOT a problem about custom Roms, but a hardware issue. So of you take back like its original and so, they'll inspect it for free (guarantee).

Unfortunately, it seems like real big problem !!!
I mean after all what I did still the same
1- now wifi, (and bluetooth now), BT cannot be turned ON at all, and wifi give "Unable to search ... " and give popup to force close dialog then whatever I Did the phone will reset
2- when turn wifi on cannot turn it off again ever
3- when accessing the Wireless settings, the phone freeze then (ask to force close or just restart).
4- when trying to enable debug mode also freeze but for sure it will restart.
5- tried to reinstall many custom roms (GB v0.23b, GDX 0.13, GDX 0.17[again]) then return to 2.1 USING SEUS again to restore original 2.1 BUT ALL NOT WORKS
(I shouldn't play with custom roms, now i realized that is 2.1 was good enough to me )
and I forgot to tell I got no guarantee on HARDWARE
it seems that my phone gone
anyway, really, thanks a lot 4 asking and helping guys!
hope me goodluck

Good News (maybe)
today I installed Hachdroid froyo 0.25
and turned on the wifi ..... it worked ............. yes, and the started searching for Networks .... and found one
Here when I tried to connect it after entering the PW every thing OK (Thanks GOD )
last thing saved with the PW Now when push Connect the phone freezes the ask to force close the wifi settings.
so it's not hardware problem ... right?

After spending about 4-5 days/nights by searching about this stupid problem
I got better Idea about what the hell happens.
1- this problem happened to many many guys with android OS.
(Just Google "Unable to start/search wifi android" and count....... damn)
2- the bad news almost 95% of people whom got this sh*t couldn't solve the prb.
(the other "5%" had luck by the grantee and replaced the phone or simply forgot that there phones got WIFI ).
As I understood that this problem is DRIVER ISSUES

Hi, I installed GingerDX v17 2 days back into my Xperia X8i. This ROM is working fantastic and with all function. One problem I found that my phone can not connect with Adhoc Wifi connection with my laptop. When I try to connect the cell tries for 5 to 8 mins and reboots automatically. But with my Wifi router it has no problem. Can some one help me?

[Tweaks] All in one tweaks build.prop,init.d,Wifi,Xloud,Bravia,A-Gps,A/V Sync,Modules (thanks to XtremePeople).
hope I helped

I also have a WiFi problem!
I can’t get WiFi to work. Activating it in settings and it’s activated for around 10 sec then it is closing down (the green “check” is there for around 10 sec).
I can’t scan for WiFi networks. No networks is showen.
I use stock kernel and DingerDX V017 release. Other things works grate! Thanks!

as you can see in my thread I tried every thing I could do... but nothing works
finally, the last tow reasons that cuzed this :
1- Hardware prb but wifi works sometimes (maybe after 5days without phone usage if you tried WIFI it will works for about 15Min)
2- it's driver prob in terminal type: "ifconfig tiwlan0" it should give some lines or just said "no such device".
but no one found any solution for this
Just try google "unable to start Wi-Fi Android" you'll understand what I'm saying. Damn

i Read the whole Thread ..
Dude i really know how this thing feels ..
Yes i know it's painful :/ !
If there's no other way 2 Fix it at home
u just have 2 give it to some1 who can actually Fix it ..
like SE .. Or the store it self ..
it doesn't matter how much the amount of money u're gonna pay..
u just save your phone
..
i wish i could help u !
Good luck Bro

I got my wifi to work! Tried with reinstalling V017 but without success.
Then I put in V013 and then the WiFi started to worke. Then I could run in V017 and with WiFi still working!

What is the difference between the three (99Tweaks, 99Xperimental, 99XTweaks) tweaks in the init.d package?

[Q] strange issue

recently my trophy is behaving strangely. the hardware buttons stop to respond after several hours after reboot. The automatic screen lock then doesn't work anymore but all apps are. I have hard reset the phone but it keeps behaving like this. The only way to recover is to take the battery out and replace, then the phone starts and the time is totally incorrect, it appears to be back to the prevïous "crash".
can anyone help? thanks for reading!

Have you tired a factory reset? (If this is GSM Trophy, it should be okay to do. CDMA Verizon Trophy... flash back to stock first).

yes
Hi
yes i tried a factory reset but didnt help. I found out that if I keep the wifi off the phone is fine but after wifi is switched on the phone freezes after heavy use or few hours.
If anyone has any ideas...

Has your phone been updated via Zune to the newest software? I'm guessing this is a hardware issue though.

well.... yesterday i read about a way to force the tango updte through zune. I tried it and it worked. Zune updated my phone in 2 steps. I immediately turned wifi on and it has been stable (touch wood so far.... Looks like some bit went missing

Yeah, I can't really offer any advice other then to try restoring the backup Zune made before you made the update. If it was working fine before forcing the update, I'd say stick with that for now.
Am I understanding correctly that your phone was fine before the update?
If you can't restore your Zune update, you may need to flash a new stock rom to fix the problem (good-by data).
What carrier are you using for your Spark? Football's rom thread in the dev forum may have a rom you can use.

[Q] Problems with screen and Back, home, menu and something else!!!

Hi guys!
I've just bought a Note3 n9005 in Singapore, starting with ANdroid 4.4.2
At first it worked very well. But after some times I restart, an error appeared immediately after the phone is on "Unfortunately...process phone.android.com has stoppped". I choosed "OK" and it wont come again if I dont restart my phone,
But it's not only all my problems. In fact I had used a fake S-view although it doesnt work with kitkat (It's a gift from Phone store, It was only used to protect the phone like a flip-cover). And a new problem appear: sometimes my phone is in LAG Touchscreen does not work, I try to drag the Notification bar down, I can do it, and then the screen displays the "notification infomation", touching is unresponsive. Home button and 2 touch buttons Back+menu does not work too. It is just solved by turn off the screen using Power button, and turn on it again.
Can someone tell me the reason about my problems? And how to fix them?
Thank you!
P/s:I'm sorry this is my first post so it can contains errors. Tell me please

Please help meeeee

What did you do exactly? did you root your phone and try to delete some stuff? use touchscreen test for your touchscreen to see
the problem,, you can find them on the play store.
What is your phone build number? last resort is just get the stock firmware and reflash it with odin3.09. search it over the forum.

Yes, do factory reset first. Backup everything from kies since your device is not rooted. will see from there.

If that doesn't fix it, you may have touchscreen issues. Some Note's are affected by this and need replaced.

[Q] Problem with WIFI, freeze and reboot after time of sleep (Also in secure mode)

Hi, I never root my phone or flash a custom ROM.
The problems was started when I flashed a new ROM from sammobile of another country, my phone comes with 4.2 and I flashed a 4.3.
I flashed newer ROM from only Vodafone-Spain (only those really are my official supplier), and then I update ever with Samsung KIES, (no Knox counter)
So, with Andorid 4.3 I had more problems than now with 4.4, now the only problem is with WIFI
I can use normally, with screen ON, the problem is when sleep for a long time (more than 1 hour) when I touch a button I see the unlock screen, but does not seem to work the touch screen, and screen go off after a seconds, if I touch other button the screen don't go on. And then, after aprox 30s it reboot itself, and show a window telling that the Process System is not responding, do you want to close?, and two buttons, close or wait.
I tried to start my phone in Secure Mode and I have the same problem, so it is not an app, it is the ROM.
I do at least 2 Factory Reset, but the problem is still there.
I think it is a software problem and not a hardware problem, because the problem start when I update to Android 4.3
I tried the trick WIFI Power save Mode OFF (on dialer, *#0011# -> WIFI -> Power save mode OFF) and never reboot automatically, so the problem I think it is with this power save mode. But if I turn off, when WIFI is ON, the battery drain fast.
In the samsung shop they tell me that first will format my phone to see if the problem solve and try for a time, if not solve, then I have to send by mail... and I will not send it because I know the time it will take to repair it is about 1-2 months and I need the phone for my work.
So is there another solution or something to try?

Since the first ROM (4.2) I flashed 3 or 4 ROMs from SamMobile, so I am not very optimistic. But I don't lost nothing, I will try it

I flash again the ROM, and after 2 days testing, the problem is still there.
Any other thing to try before send to samsung?

Please, give me another idea to try. I really have a problem with WIFI
This is how Wifi (some times) drain my battery when are not connected to a network. But the problem is worst when is connected, because it freeze and reboot.

Hello! You could fix the problem? I took suffering the same problem as your months, and I have not been solved, I'm for kicking the **** mobile! As may give so many problems with the wifi?

Yes I solve. So.. I don't solve it, it solve it self. One day I saw that I don't had wifi connection, then I saw that I don't any WIFI names stored, all was erased automatically, I don't know how.
But the result it, I don't have anymore a freeze or a reboot because wifi. ALL, absolute ALL run fine now. I had a lot of WIFI names stored, about 30-50, maybe this was the problem, a conflict with some of these names, but I'm not sure
No one update, reflash, factory reset, or start in safe mode was solve any problem, the problem solve it self... very strange.
If you try a factory reset, then don't restore all your mobile config. Try to install all apps manually, one by one. I ever restored my backuped config, and I think this was the problem.
Hope you can solve it

Thank you very much for answering so quickly.
Happens to me exactly what you do, but seems to have no solution.
I have tried more than 8 roms, stock or mods, and always fails.
At first I thought it would issue the modem or kernel, but after many tests, I do not ****ing know what is causing the problem.
I'm running out of solutions, anyway thanks for telling your case...
I'm glad that in the end one way or another, you have it fixed.

What happens when you fully wipe, flash a 4.4.2 rom, don't restore anything, not even your google account and don't install any apps.

Thanks for your interest! The truth is that it is very strange ...
If I remember correctly, already try what you mention me, but I kept going ... It's like at some point something had happened which change roms not seem to solve..
I'm considering installing a rom with 4 files and pit file, but do not know if this will help in something
Let's see if I can come up with the bug because it is becoming a pain in the ass
:good:

I would try what say Lenny1988. So the only change before solution and after solution, was a big crash on WIFi drivers/app/modem (don't sure) it self, and was deleted all my stored wifi access points that I had. It was a problem related to Wifi power save, if I disabled it then I had no reboots/freezes.
So, I would try a factory wipe and DON'T restore anything, and try for a couple days. If work, then you know a way to solve it.
Tell us if it works.

Hello there! I will update with the latest news!
I tried the recommended advice, but no luck...Not seem to affect him leave without restoring.
The only thing that seems to work and keep it running, is to disable wifi power saving system
you know....
Code:
1. Go to your phone dialer
2. Dial *#0011#
3. When you see the "ServiceMode" screen, press the left menu button
4. Select "WiFi"
5. See that "Wifi Power Save Mode" button that is "ON" - well turn it "OFF"
But this way drain your battery much faster,so it does not seem a good solution to the problem.
Curiously, the same phone, some people suffer this problem and others do not....
It may be hardware? or software?
If I find something, I'll note here.
Regards

Hello
I'm comming from jellybean and i just did an update with odin to lollipop. I've 2 problems.
1: the wifi is greyed out and i can't turn it on.
2: I can't open the playstore and i can't add my google account in the account setting. I'm getting this message : google play services has stopped.
I did a clean flash ( wiped all data and restored to factory setting. I flashed the original lollipop rom now for the second time and thats not helping.
Does any one now a solution for this?

I already tried reflashing with updating bootloader but still the same ..
flashed some custom kernel (AEL v2, CivZ explorer Rev3.1) but wifi remain grayed ...

Hello
Yes it's working fine now for me. The update bootloader solved the problem for me. Do you have exactly the same problems that i had?

Yes .. have the same problem

I ticked the phone bootloader update but it flashed it and booted quickly ..(the first boot Doesn't take time )

Before or after flashing ?

Stuck like the others
Im having the same issue. Tried flashing the rom multiple times, also my gps no longer locks except when it feel the need. Had a shop look at the gps and they replaced the antenna for the GPS and said it was good to go and gave me an app (GPS Status & Fix) and said it was all free of charge. I feel as if the rom i got from Sam caused this. Any help would be great.

I'm having exact same issue. How did you guys solve it?
Thanks

Hello there! I have a two problems wifi and BT doesn't work or greyed. Any possible things to fix them? These were my issues before on my note 2. I flashed new firmware for note 2 then the issues fixed, so do you think flashing note 4 firmware would actually help or fix the issues for my note 4 now?
