[Q] WIUI/Wajkiui New Member Support - Defy Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Hello,
I've been running WIUI on Defy for a number of months now, but I've not notched up the required number of posts on here to post to the development WIUI thread. It seems that people in this situation need to discuss any issues outside of the Dev area. I've had a search through the site and not found a new member WIUI thread. This seemed to be the most relevant place, so I'm starting a thread here. Please let me know if there's a better place. If this is OK, please draw this thread to the attention of Wajk and the other guys on the Dev thread.
Anyway here's my issue:
I've just upgraded from 1.9.9 to 2.2.3. The behaviour of the LED seems to have changed. It now shows green when it it charging. I read there was a "battery light" patch to do this. I assume it has now become part of the main image. I'd like to return to the old behaviour where the LED flashed when an SMS is received. I keep my phone on silent during the day and this is the way I notice I have received a message. Is there a way to do this? I've searched the settings for "LED", etc, and not found any option to change.
Thanks,
Rhys

I found this.

Thanks for the tip to check that build.prop file.
I found this in there:
# LED charging indicator mode
# off = keep LED off during charging
# white = white LED for 'charging', green LED for 'charged'
# rgb = mixed yellowish LED for 'charging', green LED for 'charged'
persist.sys.charge_led=rgb
Setting it to off disabled the charging LED . I tried adding ro.battery_light=false, but that didn't work for me.
I'm still not getting a flashing LED on SMS messages. Do I need to download a suitable app to get that working again?

Quick question:
I'm on CM7.2 Quarx (i've been playing around with different nightlies since flashing cm7.1 stable) and want to try wiui.
Can i just flash the zip over my current cm7 the same way in recovery? or do i need a fresh install (clear system data, etc.)
thanks,

I'm on wiui 3.1.27, and I have some issues, like rparrygbr
I tried to post a private message to Wajk on a hungarian forum, but I haven't got any replay for it.
So:
1. Play store will start "stop unexpectedly" when the "Applications" page (note the message that something is updated when pressing on, it flies in the play).
Anno (probably the 2.9.x version) FR is made ​​to recover because the cache (Dalvik too) urinates, Play wipe data did not help.
2. Wifi Tether randomly throws himself at intervals, when I turn on 'error' on down there - this time a cache (Dalvik too) excretion solve the problem, at least for the next connection.
3. WiFi random intervals, you can not connect, turn it on, and then it immediately switches - this place used to be a reboot
4. repeatedly used to something being that wifi - 3G switching, if you lose the wifi signal and not turn it off, you can not form a connection to the mobile web, usually have to restart the phone (if you look at the mobile network settings, such as not saving the selected value, for example. "3G preferred") - there is no indication in one of the spots, even though I set.
Many thanks for help me

I've installed the 3.1.27 (GB Stable) last night and the first issue I've encountered was related to WiFi.
Every time I connect to WiFi with me cellphone, it instanty drops the connection with my router, making any other devices (notebooks, tablets etc) don't have access to internet too. So I have to reboot my router (TL-WR441ND) to have access again, but once I connect my phone... it's all the same thing over and over again.
Had the same problem with MS2Ginger 5.0a, so I switched to MIUI 3.1.27 hoping that won't happen.
There is any solution for it?

[cm7] Wifi stuck on connecting..

HI, i had no problem with Wifi. Since last time I got to the hostel and have a weak access point I have a bug with Wifi : when I activate it, it says "connecting... ". But nothing happens, it doesn't list access point around me too.
I found a way to make it work: I uncheck Wifi, check airplane mode then check wifi again. It works but I have to do it every each boot or wifi deactivation..
Is there a parameters or cache file stocking the weak ap I was trying to connect when the bug appears at first?
Thank you
Problem not solved but changer: now it work but wifi is never activated at startup.. can't force it to auto activate. Strange...
Anyone else have this problem? I just started having it, first on Phiremod 6 and now just updated to 6.3 hoping for a fix, but no dice.
I have sent back 2 nooks to BN for exchange because of this issue. I didn't know doing the airplane mode thing would temporarily fix the issue. I even did the 8 hard reset and restore and the nook would get stuck on finding wifi window - turning on wifi but nothing would happen. My nook was manualnooted 1.2. Strange?
I'm on nightly-87, Dal's 1.2GHz OC Kernel 5/23, and I'm experiencing something very similar. I went from 7.0.2 to N87 without a hitch, but I immediately started to see the WiFi icon go gray and lose it's connection. I was forced to restart WiFi as a remedy. As of today I'm getting something closer to what you're talking about; when WiFi turns on, the nook will infinity cycle through: disconnected->connecting->disconnecting->scanning. I've wiped Cache, Delvik-cache many times to no avail. Also tried re-flashing N87 and the OC Kernel, which did not work. I'm still not able to connect to my home network(netgear, WPA). But, after enabling/disabling airplane mode, I was able to connect to my LG vortex and obtain the interbuttz.
The last time I did a fresh install was around N20 something. As far as possible causes to this erratic and ethereal bug, my money is on certain update paths for both the OS and Kernel having different remnants. Example: with 87 different experimental OS installs and, to a lesser degree, the three different stable OS installs. There are technically !90 different upgrade paths. Compounded by being paralleled by kernel installs, but I believe when a kernel is updated the former is completely replaced instead of merged. I'm not calling out the Dev's, it would be nearly impossible to foresee and head-off all of the permutations of merging 87+ releases.
I'm no expert, just my two-cents. I'm not really concerned about this as a long term bug. There are fine people hard at work, and unfortunately have far more pressing issues to contend with. It's a sad reality that community driven projects, notably the nook Color, rarely reach maturity or complete/efficient hardware-software integration before the allure and newness of a product wares off.
As a consumer of .rockbox, a Linux based OS for G5.5 ipods and below, Of which I've been using for years and years. And, I would say it's just now becoming 'perfect', even with it's lack of support for many peripheral devices. I'm long term with my gadgets.
I'm rambling now.
Hope this helps to narrow down symptoms and possible causes.
It seems that my problem is a known issue of cm7 (when you click airplane it stay on forever but the checkbox remains unchecked). Try a tool from market that shown me the airplane mode and unchecked it from here. Since I didn't reboot from that test I don't know if it's solved for now.
my NC on CM7 just stopped connecting too
I turned on my NC this morning and my WiFi no longer works either.
All of my hotspots say 'not in range'.
I tried all of the tools I have to turn off 'airplane' mode (just in case it was on)
but, nothing seems to get me 'out of the mode.
What can I try next?
Wifi miraculously auto-fixed itself, and then broke itself again

While researching potential solutions... CM7 auto-fixed itself after about 15 minutes.
I didn't touch it.
All of a sudden I heard the Gmail tool beep at me with new messages and the market with a few apps updates that were available.
Now it seems to be working fine.
I spoke too soon, I just powered off and on again to see if the problem was fixed
permanently, and its not... its back to the 'not working' state.
(I hate when that happens, because I don't know what caused it, and I don't know what fixed it!)
This happened (WiFi not hearing any APs) to me a few times with nightly 87, but hasn't happened since I upgraded to n94.

SAME! Bump.
Same issue.....latest nightly on VG SDcard solution. Never had a problem until recently. Was runnning 7.03(flawlessly) then suddenly started experiencing the issue, flashed the latest nightly (113)...worked for a bit, rebooted and now nada..... just sits at connecting..... then goes to disconnected. Cycles every couple of minutes.....
Any suggestions on what to look at?
**** Note ; WIFI works fine when I boot to EMMC (Nook 1.2) . So I do not believe this to be a hardware problem.
I was just looking for this issue also.
I was doing great with nightlies and the OC 6/18 kernal, this morning I updated to the Nightly 114, and I received no wifi connection on booting up.
So I did all the normal things (1. turn on/off the airplane mode - No change, 2. fixed permissions - no change, 3. restarted multiple time (aft all the prior changes) - no change) Ok I thought, I will go back to my previous nights backup (Nightly 113). But I still get no wifi. The widget says trying to connect, but none of my networks are showing up within range. I run wifi analyzer and I see NO networks (normally I would see about 5 to 7 of them).
So I begin stepping back, I reinstall the Nightly 113, with No OC, and while the wifi is off on bootup, once I 'turn it on' now I see my networks.
I'm cooking with gas now, so I install the OC 6/18 - No Wifi
So I install the OC 6/13 - Still no Wifi
Both times, the Nook boots up with the wifi 'off' so I turn it on, but no connection or sensitivity.
I again reflash the Nightly 113 only and while it again boots up with wifi 'off', I am able to turn it on and it actually sees my networks.
So strange, I am stuck without my OC kernal, but as least the nook works again.
Does anyone have an idea why this is happening to people?
Thanks

The issue in the OP isn't related to the one you're talking about. Try deleting one or more of your remembered wifi access points with wifi on. Let it rescan and, if it's not some other issue, it should find your access points and connect.
Suffering this same issue as well on my Nook Color. I believe the problem lies under /data, and here's why. First, I made a backup of /data, and then wiped everything:
* I restored my device to factory 1.2: Wifi works
* I flashed CM7 nightly 113: Wifi works
* I flashed dalingrin's OC'd 6/18 kernel: Wifi works
* I restored /data from my backup: Wifi is stuck at "Connecting..."
I thought it might have something to do with the settings.db file under /data/data/com.android.providers.settings/databases/, but when I deleted that file and rebooted, it made no difference with the Wifi problem.
Something under /data might have a problem with the latest CM7 builds, but I couldn't say what exactly. I'm not an expert at this stuff, so I can only share what I've observed and tried for myself.
Hi. I have the same problems with Wifi since this morning. Is there any other solution then turning on and off airplane mode? thx
Formatted /system and /cache, and wiped the Dalvick cache, then flashed only CM7 nightly 143.
The problem still exists. Wifi is stuck at "Connecting..." Has anyone found a solution to this? It's obviously something to do with a setting/file under /data, because if I format /data, Wifi works like normal. But when I restore my backed up /data, Wifi is stuck at "Connecting..."
I think I found a solution. This worked for me, so I hope it works for others.
Shortly after writing my previous post above, I decided to play around with my NookColor, to see if I could get the Wifi to work normally again. Here's what I did, which fixed the "stuck at connecting" problem for me:
1) Go to Settings > Wireless & networks > Wi-Fi settings
2) Check to enable Wi-Fi, if it's not already enabled
3) Click every wireless network in your list and choose "Forget"
4) Make sure every wireless network is forgotten
5) Check to disable Wi-Fi
6) Check to re-enable Wi-Fi
Instead of "Connecting..." I now see "Scanning" and it picks up the routers around me! I selected my router, and it connected! I am now able to browse the web, update my apps, and all seems to be working normally now!
You can also watch if airplane mode is really off using Android assistant:

Man, you really had my hopes up with this one. You're the first person I've seen say every remembered network needs to be forgotten. But I followed your steps exactly, and my NC still will not connect. It sees all wireless networks available. It knows which ones are open and which ones are secured. I can go so far as to enter the password and click Connect. It says "Obtaining IP address from...", then quickly flashes "Unsuccessful", then "Scanning...", then loops indefinitely. I even took your steps one step further and rebooted before turning WiFi back on. Still doesn't work.
This is the fourth time this has happened to me. And every time, the only way I've been able to fix it is to completely reinstall CM7. That's not a fix, that's a wrecking ball. I'm pretty desperate to find a fix because my NookColor has become a joke, almost unusable. Right when I get it to the point of enjoying it and getting it set up just the way I want it, this happens. And the damn thing is useless without WiFi.
I also installed the latest nightly build, which was from last night. Nothing.

Aurora ICS 4.0 U8800 Grey WIFI Icon

Hello
I'm new to xda, so i couldnt post on the aurora 4.0.4 by dzo thread.
I couldn't read all replies but from what i've read many of those who have the aurora ics rom installed on their u8800 device seem to have noticed the grey wifi icon.
I found a easy way to turn it "blue" again, it seems to be working for me everytime.
You just need to lock your screen(when your wifi is grey), then to unlock try press and hold the lock button till the screen turn on, it should be blue again. I've seen many telling to reboot the device, reinstall the rom, but honestly none have worked, besides that, this is a simple solution.
By the way i have the latest version of aurora ics 4.1a, and i haven't experienced, till now, no bugs while i use the phone, besides the grey icon. Maybe the battery comsumption is a bit higher than the stock rom but no big deal for me.
hope it helped.
Closing wifi and opening after a few seconds works much easier.
Sent from my U8800
I tought so but for me just turning it off and on doesn't work, it stays with the grey icon, but with the procedure that i refer above everything seems to work great now. My first attempt to try to solve the problem was to turn off and turn on the wifi but it was the same...

Defy+ with CM72 losses all communication sometimes

I've got latest CM72(7-SKANKY) installed on my defy+(TW ME525+ or MB526) and the system's so smooth that impresses me a lot
however i found the 2G/3G connectivity broke several times and i need to reboot to fix it
situation is the signal strength(indicator?) and 3G/H icons on the upper-right went white(or grey?) and all phone connectivity seems not working anymore
when it happened i cant call a phone or get access to networks and it seems the system didn't know the connectivity had lost
(when making a phone call it goes to the "making phone call" screen and no any sound or calling timer appear)
i even tried airplane mode to reconnect but it doesn't response anymore until i reboot
(the button/option went grey(light) and nothing more happened.....still grey, but not system hanging)
now only a reboot could fix it:
removal of Juicedefender seemed not help. even the newest nightly build from quarx2k.ru has same problem on me
my kernel is now 2.6.32.9-g6977577 and using 3.4.x(TW/HK) Baseband
Does anyone know how to fix this problem? thanks alot^_^

[Q] Wi-Fi problem - No root, original rom

Hello,
First of all, I have never rooted my cell phone, so I guess I am still using the original ROM? I have no idea how to change a ROM, how to root a cellphone, or how to even see what mine is, just so you know. This is why I created a new thread, the other ones solutions always reffered to "change your Rom" etc.
I currently possess a HTC/T-Mobile MyTouch 4G. The issue that I'm having is the following: Everytime I try to turn my Wi-Fi on, it takes a little while, turns on for a couple seconds and then turns itself off, without any command. And it keeps going on this cycle: turning on and off (it is so fast that it cannot even recognize any saved networks, and the wifi icon does not even show up in the upper bar), until I rapidly and manually click, when it is "on", to turn off. Then it stops the cycle, with the WiFi turned off. This means that I cannot use my wireless connection, and it has been lasting for more than 2 months by now. I can access 3G normally. I have tried to "soft format" the cellphone, but it has changed nothing. (By soft format, I mean the format option included on the phone. It formatted everything, deleted my contacts, apps, themes, configurations and etc, but it was made from within the phone). Also, when it is "on", and when I click in the "Wi-Fi settings" bar, it shows nothing and it freezes the phone for a while, some seconds. Then it turns to the "off" state and returns me to the previous page automatically.
The problem aparently appeared from nowhere, I have not made a single change in anything other than installing applications. I have had an issue regarding its battery, though, which made me substitute the battery. The problem also seemed to appear with the battery issue, but it is still occuring, even though I have substituted the battery.
I thank you very much in advance, and look forward for help and a solution.
Best regards.

My First android phone was a Motorola MB200. The WiFi never worked. Tried soft reset, flashing the stock Firmware via Pc and using wifi fixing appsbut it never worked.
Until i rooted and flashed cyanogenmod.
The Wifi miraclously started working.
Until now, i dont know why the stock rom couldnt fix that issue.
To cut things short, you could give rooting a try and it might fix your issue.

Wifi will not reaquire home network and Bluetooth LE does not appear to work on Pie

I have searched here and other forums a bit with no real luck finding a real answer.
Before Pie I believe my PH-1 was working fine. Since updating to Pie it seems if I leave the house the phone will not automatically reconnect to my home network. I have played with a number of setting recommended with Wifi, Location and Battery with no luck.
From what I have picked up Pie can be problematic, not sure if these issues are being worked on in the background?
I also think there may be an issue with WIfi distance, but have not confirmed this 100% yet.
I have a Bluetooth LE interface that I recall working before Pie, but it does not appear that the phone can find the Bluetooth LE interface now.
Any help, suggestions or solutions would be appreciated.

When in doubt... A factory reset gets everyone on the same page...
If not... Delete the /sdcard/Android/ directory and wipe data in TWRP and see if that fixes it
Just wanted to update this thread that I ended up resetting phone to factory defaults and the Wifi connection issues seem to have been resolved. Now if I can find out why the charging LED indicator is no longer working. Seems after a brief search this may be an issue with Android Pie/9?

LED works for me. Did you turn it on? I think it's in display or notification settings
The charging LED worked fine before the Pie/9 update. If there is a place for changing/setting this feature I have looked and looked and cannot find it.
I believe I found it in earlier Android versions but for the life of me, I cannot find a setting.
Anyone have some suggestions?
Not sure why I was not able to find the Battery Charge setting. It was probably because it was at the top of the screen and I must of have started to scroll down immediately.
