My Defy has a problem with wi-fi tethering, and also USB. I can get a usable connection for about a minute, then there is no data on the computer. I can still access data using the browser on the phone. If I go to turn off tethering on the phone, the tethering function locks up. The icon stays on screen, and the only way of clearing it is pulling the battery.
If I try USB tethering, it also locks up in a similar way.
I have tried the default stable rom from the cyanogenmod site, and the latest nightly. I have also tried Maniac's latest nightly, and the 7.1.11 rom.
It's bugging me as I've just switched to the defy from a wildfire, which worked fine.

So, I took the plunge and using unrevoked3 I rooted my HTC Wildfire. After doing so, I was looking for ROM's to toy around with and see how they worked. I found the WildPuzzleROM and flashed it using Clockmod recovery. Everything seemed to be going fine until I left the apartment and loss my wifi connectivity and tried to use my data connection to get on the internet. If I reboot the phone or turn off connections using airplane mode I am able to use apps like Gmail and Facebook fine, but when I try and use the internet icon a check mark goes under the 3G symbol and it says I have no connectivity. I tried re-flashing with the ROM again but it still doesn't seem to work. And unfortunately for me, I didn't back up my original factory ROM (if that is what you would call it) so I'm not even sure how to try and get it back to before I did this. Any help or suggestions would be appreciated. Thanks.
I got the exactly the same problem.
I solved it by from market download and install a different browser.
In my case i download Dolphin HD internet browser.
Works like a charm
I had the the same problem, after flash 0900_orginal_framework_stock_battery_icon_v5.zip browser with 3G working!!!!:
I use WildPuzzleROM v8.0.1
reminds me a bizzare CynogenMod bug GPS disabled 3G
the solution was to the mobile network APN and remove all but one APN
(usually you use only one APN anyhow)
The browser may also ask for location which can cause the effect you described.
Thread is in weong section. This has nothing with development.
Hello everyone! I'm a long time lurker here, and finally decided to give rooting a shot after tiring of waiting for Bell to roll out Froyo for my beloved legend.
The problem is that I can no longer connect to the internet, nor to the WiFi. The internet says it is turned on, but I have no indicator in the status bar and whenever I try to use something requiring an internet connection, the phone tells me I have no connection.
WiFi is similar, except that it continuously attempts to connect cycling through "searching, connecting, disconnected" then back to searching again.
I have tried two roms: Cyanogen 6.1 and BlaYo's stock rom and have the same issues with both.
I did what I think is a fairy thorough search through the forums for a solution, but was unsuccessful in finding one.
Thank you in advance for your help!
EDIT: I have reinstalled Cyanogenmod and I now have internet access. Still have the same wifi problem, though.
EDIT: Problem solved. As it turns out, I realized that I formatted my computer recently and didn't install my router properly.
So I'm dumb.
lol, it's always the easiest fix.
Hi
I have a defy that has been happily running cm7.1 for a month or two. I am on holiday and have been using the defy to connect to wifi hotspots every 3-4 days, so have not updated anything or tinkered with settings etc.
The defy has just stopped scanning for networks, or finding wifi networks it has already used.
Turn on wifi and the defy does 'connecting' and then 'disconnected' every wifi network it has settings for is 'not in range' click on scan and it does nothing.
This is really frustrating as instead of spending 10mins in a wifi hotspot downloading stuff to read latter, I now have to search for internet cafes and spend an hour or two to keep on top of work.
Help would be appreciated, although I wont have any way of connecting the defy to a computer until i get home in a weeks time.
You could try forgetting every network and then press menu>scan
thanks, i have not deleted/forgotten all the networks, just the local ones. Sadly this has had no effect.
hey
Yup. ... even I had this problem once.
Solution - do a fresh flashing from the sbf and then the rom ... no nandroid restore .
Worked for me ( though I had to do the process twice )
Temme how it goes
I have a similar problem on GGL ROM (Defy Green Lens [Android 2.3.6]), which is a slightly modded version of the stock Defy+ ROM from Tmobile DE. Wifi worked flawlessly on all earlier ROMs (eclair, froyo, miui, cm7 and cm9). Toggling the battery settings to performance mode seems to delay the problem, but at some point the device loses the connection and scans for networks that other devices have managed to hold a stable connection to.

It happened me twice (with cm7). The only solution that worked for me was to delete (or rename) /data/misc/wifi/wpa_supplicant.conf and reboot. To do this, you need to have root permission and use root explorer/adb/shell emulator or even sshd
Keep in mind that you will have to put again all the passwords, so if you copy somewhere the wpa_supplicant.conf is better.
I read somewhere that performing a backup with titanium backup just regarding the wi-fi AP list (and restoring it) worked, but I never tried.
If that worked you could try to rename wpa_supplicant.conf to wpa_supplicant.conf.bak. Reboot. Delete newly created (by the system) wpa_supplicant.conf and rename wpa_supplicant.conf.bak to wpa_supplicant.conf and reboot. It should work.
Bye,
Peppe
PS: @yamandude it is clear that flashing an sbf will work, but that's like killing a mosquito with an atomic bomb
I had this problem too when I was on a holiday in a hotel that all my friends were happily surfing the internet with the hotel Wifi while I'm the only one struggling trying to connect. The Defy sees the Wifi/routers but wouldn't connect it no matter how I set or tweak the settings.. I end up restoring my backup via CWM when I got back home and solved it. The above work around would surely save a treat considering I wouldn't need to restore my entire backup.
I'm on one of the latest cm7 nightly builds (default kernel) and lately have been tethering more than I used to. I've noticed that once in a while, the connection suddenly stops working. I can still get data over the phone (e.g., check email, go to web sites, etc.), but can't access anything on the computer. I try disconnecting/reconnecting, turning off/on the hotspot option on the phone, etc. Nothing works until I reboot the phone and turn on the hotspot again. It might work for a few hours, or maybe 20 minutes, before it happens again. Any ideas of what the problem might be?
Ever read the disclaimer that comes with nightly builds? Very experimental and probably broken. You could try one of the many third party apps like wifi tether.
Hi all
I've been running CM 10.2 for a while and had no problems with it, but wanted to upgrade to Kit Kat so I flashed CM 11 via the Installer apk. Everything works great except I'm finding that if I go out of WiFi range and the phone falls back to 3G data, it won't reconnect to WiFi when I come back within range (e.g. when I get home from being out). Further details:
- manually reconnecting through settings DOESN'T work... it sees the networks but hitting 'connect' does nothing
- disabling the modem entirely via flight mode and then re-enabling DOES work... WiFi reconnects automatically
- the phone WILL reconnect by itself without flight mode but only after quite a long while
Anyone else experienced this behaviour and know of a fix?
Thanks!
