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?

If it does work, that's fantastic. Wifi tethering is one of the features I'm really looking forward to in Froyo.

is there a live wallpaper?

Does Froyo work with HTC Sync 2.0.33? This info is critical for me since I'm stuck with Lotus Notes...

Flash 10.1.123 is reporting as the version in the default browser.
How that translates to "Your favourite Flash webpage" working is another matter.

It can't possibly work, as someone said that once read something on the Internet where someone else said it probability wasn't possible.....

I've updated my Vodafone branded HTC Legend, the only place I'd use flash is BBC iPLayer which I cannot get working, it displays the loading circle but then says "Adobe Flash; The content is not supported".
The speed is great, the animation of it opening the application of the application opening towards you, seems nice.
Live wallpapers is there, some nice stuff like the HTC flash light and apps2sd.
Other than that it just seems the same as before, the task launcher at the bottom hasnt changed, to a novice user it will just feel the same as before.
An annoying thing in my Internet browser after clicking a button to next page it keeps saying "Complete action using" even after I tick "Use by default for this action." it always pop back up.

Overall its similar to before, but the overall experience seems much better and smoother in my opinion. The web browser in particular is fantastic, much better than the one on Azure. Also the graphics seem very smooth in games.
It seems similar to the HTC Desire ROM now that we have the visual effects and liv wallpapers, though we obviously don't get HD video recording, and it seems we don't get Flash 10. Having said that, the HTC Flash Player SEEMS improved so at first I thought we had got Flash 10!

The hardware supports it fine. Our current drivers allow for an ad-hoc network. what would be better is AP mode (default Android tether), but the drivers and firmwares (for the wifi) didn't support it.

This is annoying. I have Beebplayer from before it was banned and myPlayer which is still available. Both work on BBC iPlayer and Live steams on HTC Legend on wifi or 3g, very well.

My Wifi reception is much better than before, at my desk I usually got 1 (just the dot) maybe 2 bars if I held my phone up, now where I would usually got 2 bars (dot + 1 line) I now get 3 bars! (dot + 2 lines)
WOOP!

New kernel [LV 0.6.2] download it from here​
Thanks go to erasmux and riemer for the kernel work​

Hallo, this rom is really fast, light and very minimalistic and the best for me is that colorize widgets work with the stock launcher! In this configuration its superfast with all widgets i need.
But i have a problem with my signal. Everytime when i hold the hero in my hands, the signal drop down to zero. Its like the bug on Iphone 4g.
a second bug is when i chose the cyan theme, the signal bar switches between white and cyan all the time.
I tested it with the stock kernel of this rom and with las venturas 0.5.
Im on O2 Germany and i have the latest radio

I just remembered this thread. When I was using this rom (yesterday) the market wouldn't show certain apps, e.g. Tweet Deck, and Catch That Bus

The problems with the market is an old one... in many roms you can't use these apps because the limitations of the phone...The best solution is to google them and after that install them from the SD card...be sure to check UNKNOWN SOURCES

The color thing is with every theme u use...i personally use the same theme because i like the color, but i don't experience the same problem with the network loss...you can have this problems because u use a 3G connection and if it runs out of signal it switches back to 2g and that not so bad for talking..but it's bad when using the internet...
If you don't use a data connection all the time to watch youtube or other things...switch to 2g and see after that
Keep me in touch if you have any other problems and i will try to help you
Stefan

Thanks for your reply!
When i switch to wifi i have the same problem that i lose the signal. So i think its not a problem of switching between 2g and 3g.
In the developing area, there was another guy who had the same problem.
Im now on Floyo1.4 the bug is gone
But i will come back to this rom because its so minimalistic as no other one and thats what i want!

Try this

i sometimes have the same problem... but the phone rings and stuff like that... i think it's sometimes from the thickness of my apartment walls... but outside i don't have any problems
test the phone: if you're in WiFi and the phone rings... If yes that means that the widget has a problem, if you can't be contacted then it means you loose signal
PS: do you keep your phone in a case (like a silicone one or things like ) to protect the phone?

My phone isnt in a case.
Im now on Floyo, but i will move back and test a little bit.
The main reason that i changed was that im searching for a new job and my phone has to work 100%. If a possible new Company want to call me and my phone doesnt work
i will give a feedback soon

Market Issues
Any update on the market force closing?? It closer after the market has been open for about 15 seconds

OMGB 1.2.2:
When I receive a call it takes forever until the screen is lit so I can see who is calling
Running Google Navigation the GPS looses lock after 10 minutes, have to restart application to get it lock again for about 10 more minutes.
Some applications are reported as not compatible with the phone, the cannot be installed from Titanium backup or from market although they should work fine. For example Noom, Handelsbanken, STHLM Traveling.

0.5 seconds is almost ahead of time when being used to Hero...
For me it takes at least 10 seconds before the display is lit, very annoying. I am using SetCPU 352/614.
Nom is here for instance https://market.android.com/details?id=com.wsl.noom&feature=search_result
STHLM Traveling is here https://market.android.com/details?id=com.markupartist.sthlmtraveling&feature=search_result
Both shows as not compatible with HTC Hero in Android market on the web too. But worked fine in Elelinux 7.3 v3.2 GB-ROM.
Is there some way to see exactly why they are not compatible?

Ok...google maps has the same problem...you got to search them on google as STHLM.apk download ; and you install them from the SD card, that is the sollution.
Ele mad a thing and tweaked something in a script and the market works with everything...but it's not so hard to google an app and put it on your sd card
and i recommend flashing the ROM again...maybe there is a problem, i still use the 1.2 version, kind of lazy to update))), ohh and set SetCpu with 691 max and 176 min and tell me if you still have the problem with the answering
Keep me in touch of you manage to resolve the problem,

PPP Widget - easy use of external phone or 3G modem

Update 2015-04-13: PPP Widget 2 now includes support for Android 5.0.x (5.1 not tested)
==================================================================
Update: try PPP Widget 2 (Google Play) if you have driver issues.
==================================================================
I would like to announce a widget that I catered for and tested on the A500. (It should run on other tablets as well, of course.)
It includes everything to connect via phone or 3G modem plugged to the USB host port (usb_modeswitch, pppd and chat).
Edit: New version 0.97 with experimental full network access available.
Edit: New version 0.98 available.
Changes include:
full network access may work on 2.x devices now too
latest usb_modeswitch program and data package included, providing
several new modem configurations
custom config files may be added in "/sdcard/pppwidget/cfg"
improved robustness
Edit: New version 0.99 available.
Changes include:
full network access should work properly on 4.1 devices now
improved robustness on several custom ROMs
Edit: Version 1.00 is now available at Google Play.
Changes include:
No more fixed path to SD card folder
Username and password are no longer mandatory
Translations to German, Portuguese, Dutch and Vietnamese
Additional translations are welcome.
This app will stay cost- and ad-free. As long as I live..

Thanks, JFDee. And don't sweat the limitations. If you stick around I think that you'll forget all about that once you get a few posts in.
I'm checking it out now.
In case anyone else wants to check it out, here's the link.
http://www.draisberghof.de/android/pppwidget.html
I haven't been able to connect it to my AT&T Atrix4g yet. I'm sure it is a config problem on my part. I'll goto to the forum at your site to see what I can figure out.

supurb work.
I can only say , supurb work it works like a charm , installed the widget ,(on my custom RE-FLEXxx rom android 4.0.4), turned wifi off and plugged in my HUAWEI E1552 and did my apn settings (for belguim and my provider = apn = "internet.be") pressed dial and I got connected instantly. So supurb and you can expect a donation m8.
Edit.
Some side info , if I install a application to monitor mobile data use like 3g watchdog the ppp app crashes and I need to reinstall ppp widget.
Not a big problem , just letting you know.

Congratulations
Congratulations for civato who posted the good news for 3g working in the A500 as well as the developer who made possible to run 3g with the iconia A500, finally I can migrate to Flexreaper relix R.4. It works like a charm. Thank you, you are one!!!!!!:good:

I suppose that is one of the problems caused by Android not knowing "officially" about the working PPP connection. I'd really like to find a way of changing that (and make all apps aware of the connection) without changing central system components like "init.rc" ...

Superb APP..Will die for it

I would like to announce a widget that I catered for and tested on the A500.
It includes everything to connect via phone or 3G modem plugged to the USB host port (usb_modeswitch, pppd and chat).
For more information and download see its home page:
www dot draisberghof dot de slash android slash pppwidget dot html
(I really think you are overdoing it a bit with restrictions).
This app will stay cost- and ad-free. As long as I live..

I have been dying for seeing such an app for the last one year. Tried N number of ROMs, but all were a pain only for this.
You have done a great job here.
One Request here to make some small change, if it is not too much bother. Whenever the tab sleeps, the modem disconnects too, which is expected. But if you could add another setting for AUTO RECONNECT MODEM, it will be superb. :good:

I'm not afraid of changing init.rc in ramdisk , so I can build custom kernel for the A 500 and my roms , so what should add in init.rc.
But again really thanks for the so easy in use widget. Is it OK for you if I change the layout for myself , I would like a more transparent look and other icon.

Hmm, that depends. I'd rather have a consistent look for my widget, no matter where; that includes the icon as the central sign.
But maybe I like your alternative design and will use it as the default ...
If you have anything to show (screen shot?) you can PM me.

No problem m8 , will do if I cooked something up.
Edit.
Strange , the moment I change layout the widget won't install but that is not a big deal.
I got other problem, after a while ( when not used) the widget tabs go blank and the moment I insert my dongle it crashes with message , ppp widget stopped.

for the developer: I am reporting a bug that has to do with a constant message that appears each time I insert the usb dongle saying "the application has stopped" and does not allow me to connect the device. The application has crashed several times. When I reboot the system starts working again just for a while. I am using 0.96 latest version. god bless you.
Note: This is not a complain, it is a suggestion for the developer that can help to improve the software.

in my opinion using stop ril-daemon and start ril-daemon will do the trick.

No it won't I tested that.

Wow, very cool!
Don't really need to use my 3G stick since I can tether my phone while on the road but it's nice to have the option.
This was foolproof plug and play, just needed to reboot the tab once for it to recognize the modem (ZTE MF110)

although not developed form my tab, i tried and it appears to not install corretly on the acer a510(rooted). no pppwidget dir is create nor can i find the files under their standard directories, ie usb mode switch. as a result just get an error from pppwidget when i plug in a wireless stick. (sierra wireless 306 and sierra wireless 598usb).

Jfdee,
many thanks for this...I am using stock ICS, just to report - it is bit unstable, keeps disconnecting......
eagerly waiting for a more stable version from you...

Do all/most of the custom roms have the dialer enabled?

I want to use the built-in dialer for sip, which is inaccessible in stock. part of the reason I want this is I want to use bluetooth and still haven't found a voip/sip app that supports bluetooth. Others say grooveip works fine, but I'm Canadian so no use.
Or is there an easy method of enabling in stock now? I read before of some method where you had to change the dpi and do some other things and then add your sip credentials and then modify the dpi back.
But I'm curious to know if most custom roms have it enabled.

I'd also be interested getting the stock dialer for sip. Preferably in Stock rom.

do you mean the phone.apk ?

Here is the dropbox link, sorry for the google drive one... http://db.tt/ltH50v8R. Just put in system/app

Thanks, but the thing is phone.apk is already there, part of the Android system, it's just disabled somehow. And not the typical way that can be unfrozen.

Can you find the "telephonyprovider.apk" in system/app ?

This post describes the method of enabling the sip dialer. A little clunky but doesn't sound too hard, haven't tried it yet though. He mentions bluetooth is a little shaky which is disappointing. Does bluetooth just suck in general with android or what?
But anyone who is running a custom rom, can you tell me if the dialer is enabled, if so, what are you running?

4.2 has really irked me and I'm looking again at installing a custom rom, probably cyanogen as that's what I ran on my old nook color.
So can someone running cyanogen or any custom rom tell me if the dialer is enabled?

I've ran lots of custom roms and haven't seen a dialer once. We've never had 3G.

Can you not download Go Contacts. This comes with a dialer. I've used this successfully to make and receive phone calls on the Nexus 7 in conjunction with tablet talk and a Bluetooth headphone.

Thank you for answering! Now at least I know custom roms don't have it, but it's disappointing. You mention we don't have 3g I know that, and that's probably the logic why google disables it. But carriers also disable things like that to prevent voip usage, so it's kind of irrating, and surprising that custom roms wouldn't enable it either. Especially since I know it was there on cm7 on my nook which didn't even have a mic. I put in my sip creditentials in cm7 just to test a call and it worked fine, but again obviously it had no mic. I thought oh well, next tablet. Well now I have the next tablet and I was somewhat hoping google wouldn't do what the carriers typically do. I think it also avoids confusion because people think it's a phone as well, but why not at least have a developer option to enable sip dialing or something.
I may request on the cyanogen mod forrums if they could please enable it.
