Wifi problem, ics cm9 120617 build - Defy Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Have had the 120617 stable ics installed for several weeks now with great result and no issue. This afternoon my wifi stopped working.the blue fan at the top is now grey as is the signal bar. When I turn off wifi 3G works fine. I have reset router and rebooted phone. Wifi is ok on other devices.
Any recommendations ? Thanks

Choice A: Don't do anything and wait a day.
Choice B: Click Forget network, and try to connect again.
Choice C: Wipe data cache and dalvik
Choice D: Try a new ROM. that Rom you're using is extremely old.

I found it to be the most stable. If there is a more recent version that is stable then I'd happily update to that. Ics or jb

I have now tried A,B and C with no luck. Which ROM would you now recommend ? Would prefer something that does not mean I have to wipe everything and reinstall apps etc, rather just an upgrade, cheers

You could upgrade to a newer cm9 nightly or a ROM like Moto Ice Gun or Defy+++ because I think you only have to wipe cache + dalvik (no data wipe).
I would recommend cm10 or paranoidandroid.
You know that if you log into Google account right after first boot, it will automatically restore all your market apps?

Sometimes happened to me the same.
Do this: delete (if you want you can backup it before for taking the passwords) the following file (you'll need root permissions) /data/misc/wifi/wpa_supplicant.conf
Reboot.
It should work.
You may even try to revert your previous wpa_supplicant.conf, and see if it works or not. Sometimes it does some other it doesn't.

If you read that post carefully you would
know that dalvik cache is different from cache!!
If that doesn't wipe data..
Last option is to reflash!!

It doesn't seems to be working. You can ping every existing server, but you can't send or receive any other packet. After download 1-4MB you can only send ping and (if you're lucky) use google talk.
mur4ik help please
This happens to me sometimes, but I thought it was my networks fault.
Try contacting your network too see if there is any problems?

well mostly all the bugs!
You can't imagine how many times I did reflash, wipe (dalvik included), different kdz instalation. Nothing helped.
Do you try with other 2.3.7 Rom ?

What do you mean? I've downloaded my rom from these thread:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=927379
and tried to flash with installer from modaco.
i have the same problem with this rom. The apn connection is fine but whenever i connect to wifi i have to reboot my phone for it to transfer data but after awhile it stop again and i have to reboot again.

I didn't see much negative effects made by the V6 Supercharger than the KA Kernelizer Tweak (which completely destroyed my phone ).
if a reflash or wipe doesn't solve the bugs
then i think it is a hardware problem!!
quickly get a warranty before they run out of stock
as they are not selling GT540 anymore!!
i've reflashed back to rc3 and everything work fine but when i flash rc5 i got the same problem again.
Wonder what i did wrong???
And i even flash back to rom 2.1 (with kdz and it really scare me) and connection is really fast so i dont think it s because of the hardware

then i think it might be the system partitions that are

[Q] wifi doesnt work on xoom wifi on nightly ICS

So apparntly I'm the only person in the world whos wifi doesnt work on any builds of ICS. I'v searched everywhere and theres not one thread about it....anyone have any ideas? wifi works fine on honeycomb.
i can't help you here cause I havnt installed ics yet but this is just a thought.... did you try one of these two things yet to solve the problem?
1. Do a full wipe before you flashed the rom?
2. Have you tried re-downloading the rom zip cause it may have been corrupted somehow during the download?
Maybe this has helped, if not maybe your Xoom maybe faulty?
Ether way good luck & hope you solve this wifi problem out mate

I had the same problem, you have to do a full wipe AND wipe the cache and dalvik and reflash the rom. That fixed it for me.

Yeah. You need to do a factory reset. Make sure you back up /mnt/sdcard because it erases everything.

Did you restore system apps or system data after the wipe you had to do? This would mess up your wifi as well as email, probably. Just reflash the nightly and the gapps and wipe cache and dalvik cache and you should be good to go on reboot.

I have never installed NativeSD but..
Is the ROM you installed Tytungs ICS? If it is, the kernel is already included - you need not I stall it after the fact. Maybe that created a problem.
Fir the wifi look for wifi fix on Google Play. It may help.

If you have a 50% chance of being right, you will be wrong 90% of the time...

Does the device connect to wifi when not in ICS?
Have you checked the obvious things?
In settings / wifi / advanced make sure you allow for weak signal and the wifi region code.
ICS will have a different mac address; make sure the router is allowing it.
Clear cache, fix permissions, the usual steps.

As I said, I really don't know that much about NativeSD so I am only guessing..
Is it possible to get a logcat from the time when you try to turn on the wi-fi?
There are several apps on Google Play which will save the log as a text file and you can upload it to the ICS dev thread for Tytung or someone else to look at.
You can also try to flash an old wi-fi firmware but I have no idea what that may do. It is possible that it will not work and you will have to do a clean install after it. If you want to give it a try download BCM4329_firmware_v4.218.248.18_.zip - 1.66 MB and flash through recovery.
Last, I would try to remove the entire Nativesd ROM and start over clean. I don't think the ROM has a wifi issue in all Nativesd installations so my last resort would be to completely clean up and reinstall.
Try some other rom to see if your wifi works, try some stable roms, like cm9 or viper,
Or just reinstall rom using another kernel.

Wifi has problems turning on sometimes

Hey everyone!
I have been a long time XDA member and was hoping someone out there could help me.
I have an MDL bootloader and am running CM11 currently. I have tried multiple kernels including stock CM11, ktoonsez, and Chronic and different ROMS. However I have a problem where sometimes my wifi refuses to turn on. I will click for it to turn on and it will say "turning on" but it just hangs there. This also happens if I soft reboot my phone( meaning I will lose wifi if I soft reboot at anytime) The only way to fix it is to give it a full reboot. I have tried with xposed unistalled and all. I can't possibly see it being caused by an app, but any help would be appreciated!
Thanks a bunch!

Yup!I've even flashing Roms for years and have never run into this. It seems like no one else mentions the problem in the posts for the ROms either. I think I'll try to run cm10.2 to see if its just KitKat roms

I also had that problem for nearly a month, your EFS partition may be corrupt, Just ensure to be rooted open up Root Explorer and go to your EFS folder & select all files and folders, after that set all the permisions to everything, reflash stock or your prefered rom and it should be working fine, this is what fixed my problem.

5.1.1 Roms on D801 give no cell data??

Been using rooted stock roms for forever, but found myself lacking the need for wifi calling as of late, so I've been open to flashing something with more pizaz. I tried flashing both Dark Unicorn and Blisspop today, but neither would allow me to enabled cellular networks (it would toggle on, then back off by itself a few seconds later). I'm on T-mobile, I tried all three APN's that were pre-loaded. The notification drop-down would show it was connected to T-mobile, but it wouldn't show a data signal, and had an exclamation point over the cell signal. Anyone have suggestions on how to rectify this, or is this expected?

Tried each only once, will try again. When the first didn't work, I tried the other rom. WHen the second didn't work, I restored back to current. With each flash, I did advanced wipe, doing system, data, cache, and dalvik

5.1.1 roms all have the ! signal next to it. so you saying that you cant connect to internet using data.?
they to download hybrid bootstacks, you know the procedure,
wipe all, install hybrid bootstacks, then go into main menu then reboot into recovery from recovery then, copy rom into phone flash rom and gapps.

When you say "copy rom into phone", it seems there's a chance I'd loose data on internal storage? :-/
And what about if I want to restore back my current rom - is there anything that needs to be undone? (thanks for the replies, btw)
I'm at twrp 2.8.6.1, fyi

i recommend balstagator twrp to prevent display damage cause of heat.http://forum.xda-developers.com/lg-g2/development/twrp-twrp-2-8-0-0-kernel-f2fs-tools-t2898705
when in recovery yes delete all if you have stuff in your phone if they are pics just move them to pc, if those are apps use titanium paid app that will back up, app and data like whats app all conversations. if its only like pics videos moved them to pc, if apps using the free version of titanium back up ypu cant restore batches, musst must do one installation at a time..
its always better to install a fresh installation that means wipe all.
to be honest i dont do nandroid that is what is called in twrp back up,i think i did once and it didnt worked, it does work if i want to mess with rom and if it fails or i get problem doinga restore brings back the way it was just like a restore point. but am not really sure if you wipe all and do a nandroid restore it would bring back the rom, as am typing i did one am trying a ifferent rom.. ill see if it works..
ok i tried 2 roms 1 stock custom, and cm13 so i just restore my nandroid and it worked. ive selected all in back up. wipe all then copy back the twrp back up and restore it. it works ...
ok i got some folders missing like dcim.well most just copy important folders like music videos and pics to pc then once you restore it copy them back.
