Hi all,
As I have only 4 posts so far so, I am not able to post in the overcome 1.4.0 thread of alterbridge. That's why I am posting my problem here ....
I have been using overcome ROM since 1.2.0. But, from today I am having strange problem with the ROM or something else which I don't know yet.
Whenever I activate the flight mode and enable WiFi then the WiFi disconnects frequently. Sometimes, from the settings I find "connecting" but, it never connects. I installed the JMF modem which has been posted in the main thread.
I have tried running my GTab without SIM card. But, still I am getting weird wifi disconnection problem.
I have just wiped and make a clean installation of the 1.4.0 ROM. No luck yet.
Can you suggest me something, please??
Your help will be much appreciated.
Thanks!
I have a US wifi only xoom
It has been rooted on android 3.1 stock for months with bigrush dogs kernel.
Today I decided to upgrade to 3.2 using solarnz hammerhead. So I performed a nandroid backup, booted back into cwm and then wiped, then flashed hammerhead and then proceeded to reboot. upon rebooting I was ask to connect to wifi and now I cannot connect to wifi for anything. Every network I try to connect to just says connecting or says nothing and never connects. So I flashed my nandroid backup to go back to normal and I still have the same issue. I can't connect to wifi. Anyone here know anything at all?
Thanks for you help
Wanted to post an update to this problem. Apparently when I flash a new update my system name changes in my routers Mac address settings. My router then automatically blocks my xooms Mac address so I had to unblock it in the router. Never experienced this with my evo. Fyi. I have a 2wire router with Att
I actually experienced the same problem the first time that I flashed hammerhead. I thought it was a fluke or had something to do with the wifi issues that I have had with all of the 3.2 roms, including stock 3.2 on the xoom and the transformer. I just flashed back to tiamat 1.1 wiped again and then reinstalled hammerhead. That did the trick for me.
I just recently got this tablet from someone else. (This person had no problems and is trustworthy in reporting all that was done and care taken with it, even offering on advice on things you can do with it.)
My first step was to connect to Wifi. This happened without problems.
When returning home from work where I also connected, my wireless connection(s) said "Disabled" after trying to obtain the IP where they worked fine before. The first time this happened I had to do a factory reset to solve it (hardware reset didn't do it).
Today, it is happening again. I woke it from "standby" to start using again at home and received this message. In fact, any attempted WiFi connections comes up saying "disabled" after attempting to connect and obtain an IP. Again, these are saved connections that previously worked. I know for a fact that it's not the routers.
Please help if you can. I've tried:
1) power off/up 2x in a row to no avail
2) removing and adding back the connection with the appropriate passwords
3) a factory reset but I really don't want to do that again because I'm afraid flashing it back will bring back the same problem.
3) I haven't put any new apps on it since it last worked earlier today so I can't figure that as an issue. The first time it happened a week ago was when I'd just gotten it. It has worked for almost a week without problem. I did nothing special but travel home.
SPECS:
A500 Wifi
Rooted (was unrooted when it first happened); rooted now using IconiaRoot v1.3
(previously rooted and unrooted with Gingerbreak which would no longer root)
ROM: Honeycomb 3.1 with Virtuous Picasso v.1.1.0
Kernel: 2.6.36.4-UNITY-V5-ge7dee2a-dirty
Thanks in advance.
it's a known problem with this tablet when moving from one access poin to another, introduced with the update to 3.1. you have to reset using the pin hole near the micro USB port. i use a staple.
it may take a few tries. if it never works, there's a specific file you can delete if you're rooted. if you cant do that, you will have to do a device wipe.
There is a known issue of connecting to PEAP/EAP networks, which most work networks are. After connecting successfully, often many times, it will suddenly fail to connect. It also shows the signal from the access point to be very low or non-existent. After this happens, it can also cause problems with other PEAP/EAP access points as well.
If this is what happened to you, here's the fix. Try to connect to the access point giving you problems. While it is stuck on trying to connected, click the access point name and tell the tablet to Forget it. Then enter the same access point information manually and try to reconnect. This fixed my problem, and the fix sticks for a few weeks or so until it comes back.
Interesting, I had this same problem a few weeks ago when I visited my parents house. After a couple reboots it just started magically working again and didn't think anything of it. Their router is whatever the Verizon FiOS people install when you get their service.
Thanks, GeekGuy and Falkner, but.....
I've tried both before, but I went ahead and tried both of your recommendations again (pin reset and connection attempt/forget/add). Neither fixed it.
I would like to try to delete the file that Falkner mentioned, but you didn't specify a name and/or location of it. Can you share that?
I could never find what file to delete, so I've just installed a new ROM (thanks to XDA for info on all the how to stuff).
We'll see if it repeats.
Gone from V.Picasso v.1.1.10 with HC 3.1 to Taboonay 2.1 with HC 3.2.
Thanks for the attempted help!
Just guessing but I would say your problem is solved since no reply from yesterday?
Per my last post, I've switched ROMS. As it happened randomly before, I can only wait to see if it happens again. I will post back if it does.
And....as of tonight it happened again.
Note: Different ROM working since the last post 9-26-11.
ROM Taboonay 2.1
The only thing I can wonder about is if it happens when it tries to connect to a network that is actually down such that it cannot obtain an IP that actually gets internet access. However, it was "disabled" when I brought it up before ever trying to specifically reconnect to a network to realize the ISP wasn't doing their part.
Still....no reboots, or hardware resets have worked. I'm working on an image restore of only the system from the 9.25 install of the ROM rather than a factory data reset. Not sure if that would have been better. Trying to save some of what I've done recently. Gonna have to get used to a weekly backup if this is to continue.
Grrrrr..........restoring a backup turned out to be the last ROM. After reinstalling Taboonay 2.1, I still had all my apps and found the same problem. I'm doing a factory data reset as it's the only thing that fixed it before :-(
The only "oddity" I've experienced has been since last Thursday. The Android Market doesn't even recognize now that I have another device. Have communicated with them; they are investigating and saying they have received reports of this on free downloads giving an "unable to process purchase" message. It updates installed apps, but I cannot download any new ones through market, appbrain -even the appbrain app only and not to the market app. I can download through Amazon, so it's the Market issue. Still, that shouldn't affect this issue.
If you have any constructive feedback, I'd appreciate it!
This was happening to me. I had problems with every rom I tried until the following combo: Taboonay 2.2 with Richard's Villain ROM 3.7 kernel. Every other combo would lead to erratic wifi...now it hasn't happened in 2 days. I don't know why this is happening as many of the roms I tried claim to have the wifi fix integrated. I hope this helps. Just flash the latest Taboonay and then the kernel zip file on too of it. By the way, latest rabbinate is 2.2....NOT THE ONE YOU HAVE NOW.
Sent from my A500 using xda premium
Installed ICS fine using Acer_AV041_A500_1.031.00_WW_GEN1.zip from here: http://vache-android.com/v1/index.php?site=files&file=151 , renamed to update.zip, stick it on the root of the SD and powered up with vol down.
Have struck an issue though: following the update my a500 reboots back to the android boot animation as soon as it has established a wifi connection. As long as I leave wifi turned off it runs fine. I don't think it's related to this particular package though, a bit of googling has revealed others who updated using the OTA and encountered the same issue. The only way they've found to resolve it is a factory reset. Ugh!
Anyone have any brighter ideas before I take the plunge and spend the rest of the weekend downloading apps and re-configuring my tab?
I am having the exact same problem. Did the upgrade the the update.zip that was released and worked fine for others. Mine runs fine until wifi is turned on, then it reboots. I am only able to stop the reboots is by turning off wifi, obviously not suitable for. Anyone find a solution yet? Glad to see I am not the Lone Stranger here.
+1 here... strange issue. Got the OTA btw.
Hi All,
My NST always loses its Wi-Fi connection after waking from a long sleep. "Obtaining IP Adress ... Unsuccessful." It didn't have this problem when it was brand new fresh out of the box.
Nook firmware 1.1
I am currently rooted with the newest MinimalTouch and also loaded the multitouch kernal.
The first time I rooted was with TouchNooter but wasn't sure if it worked correctly so I reset. I factory restored with Touch-Formatter. After that I started having Wi-Fi problems. I've since restored a few more times in hopes of fixing the problem, but no luck.
After waking up the Nook, the wi-fi will fail to connect regardless of how many times I disable/enable. I still get "Obtaining IP Adress ... Unsuccessful." A reboot always fixes it.
Does anyone else have a similar problem or know of a solution?
Update 1.1.2 was supposed to fix various connection problems with WiFi.
