wifi scan error

greetings. I ve got a gt i5800 and suddenly the wifi does not scan for networks. I activate it and a message like scaning (for networks) was unable or not possible (in my language) and then it deactivates itself. I can use the internet turning on 3g but I cannot use wifi due to scan error. Any clues?

backup /data/wifi/bcm_supp.conf
after backing up (your stored passwords are in there) delete the file.
usually then it scans again for networks...
another possibility is, that you use a g3mod kernel for CM6.2 for froyo

Are you using any sort of custom rom that might have this effect on your phone? Even the samsung roms are a little faulty and sometimes these things occur. Just flash a stock rom if you are using a custom rom and if you are using a stock rom just flash the latest one for your region or wipe data/factory reset/hard reset. This should sort it although the comment above sounds like the person knows what he's doing

[Q] Problems with data connection on [SD/MAGLDR] PARANOIDANDROID HD2 rom

I installed paranoidndroid rom ( http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1663755 ) on sd via magldr and neither wifi nor data connection was working (i have tried all versions) but the rom is pretty good to be close to everyday use.
I fixed the wifi replacing the attached file (fw_bcm4329.bin) from this thread
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1425205
I tried the data fix on the paranoidandroid thread but its not working... i think its only for those using cLk.
But the data connection is still not working. there is another file fw_bcm4329_apsta.bin in the folder.
i was wondering if this is for data connection... when i flashed NexusHD2 ( http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1437463 ) rom the data was working... so is it useful to try to extract and replace the fw_bcm4329_apsta.bin from the NexusHD2 rom?

I wonder which version of PA U used. If you are Haret user it could be 1.5a version where i encountered the same problem which later reported to build developers . the issue was RMNET to PPP update. the fix is here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=26923572&postcount=2 . there are no such problems with data and wifi in 1.5b. if you want to stick to 1.5a, after downloading the fix you must unzip the file and put meta and system folders into your SD build's root folder and reboot the phone. the build will update and should be fine

Hint for problem with data connection:
Sometimes when it's not working you have to:
1. Go to setting and disable data connection
2. Reboot
3. Enable data connection
It happened two or three times for me and rebooting with disabled connection helped.

I guess haret user means loading android via windows mobile. And if so i m not a haret user i load android via magldr coz i have dual booted my phone with windows phone and put the android on the partitioned space on my sd card. I used all versions of PA but all have the same problem of wifi and data connection. I did exactly as u mentioned... put the system and meta folders into root folder of my sd card and reboot but it keeps on rebooting. I tried the other fix too that seems to be for cLk users.. (says upgrading on 1.4a but nothing changes and gives error on 1.5b)

[Guide] Update any Motorola Charm to lates T-Mobile firmware (Working 2G / 3G)

Hey Guys,
The Admins decided to basically add the Charm forums into the Flipout forums, so far only the main forum heading has been changed, hopefully the admins will do the rest of the changes soon.
In the meanwhile, i thought it would be useful to post useful threads on the charm porting, basically since flipout and charm are the same phone with a different design, these should be applicable with respective changes to flipout also.

Thanks for the clear guide. Had a lot of difficulty with this back a year or two ago when I first got my Charm.
Does anyone know if the T-Mo (1700/2100) and 850/1900/2100 Charms have any hardware differences? Or is the 3G bands support purely in software?
I'm actually wondering if it's possible to do the opposite of this guide. That is, flash my existing deblur SBF, but with the T-Mobile BP files, to convert my Telus Charm into one that works on T-Mobile/Wind/Mobilicity.

yes you can but you will have to download telus sbf and T-mobile sbf, then replace firmware of t-mo sbf with that of the telus then copy bp files from telus to t mo, its given in the guide.
but after flashing t-mo ROM you can flash any other sbf other than. t mo as the bootloader gets updated.
but you could try the reverse to obtain a telus ROm working on T mo. Don't have either of these, so can't test it out also.

Cool, thanks. Will try it and report back.

You'll need to update the apn settings for your carrier. Look around on the forums or search web, there are instructions. Your carrier's website could be helpful too, for example Bell Mobility (Canada): http://support.bell.ca/Mobility/Sma..._Nexus_One_for_the_Bell_Mobility_HSPA_network

Well my Carrier is Telcel in Mexico, but i have already created the APN settings for it.. but thers no option to turn on the data services... in some other forum they told me that the baseband frecuencies arent compatible and the only way of getting my 3g data back is to restore the device to the original LATAM firmware.. which i guess im not able to do since i cant go back from the TMOBILE bootloader..
PLease tell me im wrong and that there is a way of doing this..
Im gbuessing maybe sending it to motorola and they could do some magic?...

Hmm, weird, so you copied the bp_nvm_default files as above, and your 3G is working for calls but not for data?
Maybe try re-flashing the ROM?
I have a Charm that was originally on Telus (Canada), they use the same frequencies as Telcel (850/1900) for HSPA. Flashed the T-Mobile sbf and lost 3G, but replacing the bp_nvm_default files made the 3G work with Telus again. Took a couple of tries though - it's a bit finicky. Had to re-flash T-Mobile ROM a couple of times before the mod worked.

You are giving me hope here hehe ..
Well i did replaced the bp_nvm_default files...
You see after the flash of the Tmobile rom i had to do that in order for the phone to recognize the Telcel network.. so after i replaced the bp_nvm_default files, it worked and i can make calls.. and access 2g and 3g networks..
Then i went to wireless settings and added the APN info for telcel.. MMS, GPRS, and 3G... Everything ok there or so it seems..
Then i went to Data Delivery Settings.. but there is no option to turn off the Data services for 3g or 2g for that matter...
I have seen this in some other T Mobile roms (in a droid 2)....
Any clues..?? do you have a way to enable 3g data in your settings?...

Please doo

Hey guys, I got stuck on T-Mo firmware T-Mobile_MB502_02.60.5_1FF_01, trying to unlock my phone but the band of my operator is for 850-1900, so no phone calls.
I followed this tutorial and it looks that it worked but after RSD finishes and restart the phone, I'm geting the message "SIM network unlock phone" does this means that:
--- it is recognizing the band of my operator (Claro - Colombia) but I need to use one of the services that offers the unlock code like "unlockallcellular.com"?--- that was the point of doing the flash anyways...
or
--- for step "E- Restore network" I need the files from the - "bp_nvm_default" - folder from a actual working Charm on my network? I'm using the ones given on http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=903969&page=4 (TELUS) is there any unlocked ones?
or
--- Am I doing anything wrong? :crying::crying::crying::crying: I've done the procedure like 10 times...
Thanks in advance for any help!!!

Wifi problem

Hi there,
I've been having problems with my wifi at my home conection. I can connect to the network, but the amount of data transeferd between the phone and the router is close to nothing. It doesn't even connect to google services... Somebody knows anything about this?

I did that, and nothing changed...It still connects, but I can't access de market or any other site on the browser. Sometimes, when I turn Wi-Fi on, the phone reboots, I don't know if it has something to do with this or not...

Last thought, try changing your modems encryption and radio channel. If those doesn't work i'm out of ideas. Goodluck

Tried both of them, none worked... I already did a factory reset, I have the latest Aurora update, checked the router DHCP log (wich shows that the android device is connected), and I still can't access internet. I already tried another android phone in my home network (Xperia U, which worked), and tried my phone in another wi-fi connection, and it also works.... This is so weird!

[Q] Wifi problem on showing psk passwords on rooted phone

Í have rooted Note3 Jelly Bean.
Wifi works fine. But i cannot see the passwords of my own wifi networks.
I have tried several methods:
Going to /data/misc/wifi and checking wpa_supplicant.conf,
And also apps like "wifi key recovery" or "Wifi QR share"
The problem is it shows a diferent psk password. Its like a long line of numbers a letter, like if it was in another code.
¿How can I translate that so it shows the real password?
