After flashing ookba's 6.5 onto my Dash 3G, I can no longer connect to the internet. Previously had 3G working on the stock WM6.1. Are there any workarounds for this? Tried searching and couldn't come up with anything. There were a lot of posts from other people complaining about lack of internet after the flashing, but no solid answers that I could find. Thanks in advance to anyone that helps me out.
edit: to expand upon this, it seems like it worked for a moment when this first started, because the AccuWeather accurately located me and downloaded a weather report, but now even that is reading "No Internet?!" and I can't fix it. I'm asking about the 3G Internet, because WiFi works fine, but I want to be using the 3G so I can get it anywhere.
run
have u ran the connection wizard?

I just want to know has anyone had any problems with the wifi? and wep/wpa? ive heard some complaints about this and i jus want to see how common it is
I use mine on a wep and wpa network everyday with no problems at all.

mines also good too.
Wifi on mine is 100% broken. Trying to turn it on makes the phone freeze and then reboot.
Phone arrived yesterday. Wifi never worked a single time, out of the box. Details / video below:

Buyer beware.
Ok thanks guys, it seems only a few are broken, fingers crossed I guess.
Paul has another, much larger post about this up here somewhere that you can probably pitch into.
I read that rebooting 4-5 times worked for someone. :shrug:

To be fair, I've searched and searched and searched on here, Google's support forums, Google itself, etc, and have not yet found a single other person with broken wifi like on mine.
So I guess I'm 1 in 20,000, sigh.
Either way, I would caution against purchasing the device until the 3G/Edge switching problems have been fixed. I didn't care about those issues, because I thought I'd always be on wifi. Heh, boy was I wrong...
Thanks paul, I do suggest sending it back by the way
No Wifi problems here either WEP or WPA (no 3G/Edge issues either)
WPA works fine here, but doesn't always re-connect automatically after an incoming phone call. Sometimes need to force a re-scan when I'm at the far edges of the range.
I have a problem with wifi and after using 3g, my tablet connect to wifi and 3g no problem, when I use wifi first and than 3g works great, but when I go back to wifi it can see wifi around me for a second than begin to scan and this is it, I have to hard reset my tablet so my wifi work again. Removing SIM doesn't help. I think is issue in software. Is there any software update or everyone has same firmware? Is there any solution?
same problem :-(
one more here, and lenovo does not do anything about it

Two news, bad and good. Bad news: there is solution for this problem but root is needed. Good news: root is achieved and would be avalable soon

Hi guys
Just got a and s8 and its the first phone I've been able to use Wi-Fi calling on. I'm on vodafone uk and the WiFi calling works okay. I've just got a question though.
At home I generally get an okay mobile signal but the WiFi calling symbol remains even though i have 2 bars. Is this normal? I though WiFi calling would only kick in when your signal was really weak?
Many thanks
Hi just a question do you have any problems with wifi calling? Just that I'm on vodafone and when using wifi calling no-one can hear me when I talk.
I tried it today mimo2008 in airplane mode and WiFi on and it worked okay for me. Are you running a vodafone firmware or a standard uk one?
Had the same issue in that quite a few times the person at the other end could not hear me. Also the WiFi calling symbol would remain even after I was out of range of WiFi!
Used to work fairly well on my old S7. Given up using it for now and turned the Sure Signal back on.
I'm not using a Vodafone firmware BTW.
It's strange because it only works in airplane mode not in normal. I'm running vodafone software unfortunately.
Thx for letting me know.
Are you guys connected to 5ghz WiFi when you are having problems? I had the chance to try WiFi calling at work today where I don't get signal. It worked really well and disconnected as it should as soon as I walked outside and had a couple of bars mobile signal. I tried this a few times. The only difference to at home is that we only have 2.4ghz WiFi at work.
Came home and forgot the 5ghz network and joined the 2.4ghz one. Magically it just works now. As soon as I'm down to one bar it comes on. Then goes off when I'm stood by the window and have 2+ bars.
Edit: Seems that didn't fix it after all. I'm sat here with 2-3 bars and WiFi calling remains on. Oh well hopefully in a future firmware update it might get fixed.
Just to update I'm now having the problem of the other person not being able to hear me. I've had to disable WiFi calling now as it's too buggy. I've left a message on the Vodafone forum where others are having the same problem. Apparently they are looking in to it.
Yeah I've been told it's not compatible with nougat which i think is a load off bull.
If it was the case then it would effect other carrier's

Have they said if they are working on a fix mimo?
Hi @rob77
This is the email I got from vodafone.
Hello,
We?ve just investigated the fault you are experiencing with wifi calling. Your phone is currently running the latest version of Android (Nougat) which regrettably is currently incompatible with wifi calling, as soon as an update is released to Android wifi calling will resume normal service on your phone.
Regards,
No time scale I'm afraid.
Thanks mimo2008
Oh well I guess I'd better invest in a sure signal for work then.
Your welcome Rob hopefully they will get it fixed soon.
Bought a sure signal yesterday and have set it up at work. I've got to say it performs really well
@ Rob77 - Funny, cos it worked perfectly fine on my S7 running Nougat?
@Richy101 I've read quite a bit on the Vodafone forums and it does seem mainly s8 owners complaining of this problem. I've submitted a ticket and would like to see it fixed but the sure signal is actually better for me at this moment in time. I only need WiFi calling at work and the sure signal supports texts as well. At home I get usually get 2 bars 4g and falls back 3g if the signal gets too low.

Just received a large "bug fix" software update which seems to include updated carrier software (VOD_0058 to VOD_0061) - does anyone know whether this WiFi calling bug was fixed?
Still broken for me with the latest update; no sound transmitted from my phone to the remote side

How frustrating - I've not had that problem yet since the update
EDIT: I notice Vodafone appear to have updated their site to say S8 is officially supported so they think any issues are now fixed
Ok just bought unlocked essential phone and using it on Verizon. My issue is wonky wifi with a twist I haven't read anybody else having. It shows strong signal on both 5 GHz and 2.4. but when connected to WiFi it's slow and throttles all other devices to buffer while attached. Thanks in advance if anyone can help.
Nothing? Ok thanks anyway fellas......

I have this problem as well. I end up using my cellular data most of the time because of it.

Have you tried other wifi routers?
No but not interested in changing router to please one device you know.
Just as a test, go in to your router's Wireless Quality of Service (QoS) settings and try to disable Wi-Fi Multimedia (WMM). I'm more curious than anything as to whether or not that makes a difference.
