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] Android Market "File Invalid" Error *On some WiFi connections**

Hi everyone,
So I've rooted my Kindle Fire and installed the Google Android Market. When I'm on my home Internet connection, I can download/install any books/apps I please. However, when I try to do so on another Wifi connection, say, at a friends house, I am always shown an "Invalid File" error after the download completes.
I've read that clearing the cache can sometimes fix it, but I've not been able to find how to do that in any of the Settings menu.
Does anyone know how to fix this?
Thanks a lot in advance

don't think it has something to do with your kf
maybe he is running a firewall on the router and blocking some ports

I can try. Do you know which ports I should ensure are open?
I've tried on several different Wifi connections and all of them except for mine give the same error.
I cleared the cache/data of the Market.

don't know the ports - sorry
but an other idea:
do you possibly use a fixed ip adress on the kf ?

I did check to see if any of the Wifi connections where on a static IP connection because I read somewhere that turning that off might help, but none of them where.

I tried that and connected to the Wifi for next door and it still gave me the error. The only connection it works on is the connection that was used to setup the Google Market.....no other connections work. It's almost like it's somehow locked to that internet connection....
I appreciate all of your help by the way mate.

The version I had was 3.4.4.
I reset the device to factory settings and installed it again and the problem is still there. Gee this is annoying.

I did that several times. In fact, I've downloaded a CM7 rom and install it. And the Market. Guess what?; the same bloody "Package File is Invalid" error.
It must be something to do with the Internet connection because earlier today, I was at a new Wifi connection and it worked there too! But straight away when I went over to a Wifi connection that it wouldn't work in the past, and it still wasn't working. This is really bloody annoying me.

found a post - maybe a hint in the right direction:
This may or may not be relevant to your situation, but here's what the deal was with mine. I have CyanogenMod 7.1 installed, which puts dalvik-cache in the /cache partition instead of /data.
When you install apps from the Market, it downloads the .apk to /cache/downloads and installs it from there. If you don't have enough room in /cache/dalvik-cache for the installer to put the necessary files there, the install fails with a "package file is invalid" error.
There's nothing wrong with the package file at all. It's purely a matter of not having enough space in your /cache partition.
(forgive me if you see this exact same post in multiple places - if I'd known weeks ago that it wasn't really an "invalid package file" issue, it would've saved me a ton of useless googling - I'm just trying to spare others the same hassle)

Hi, Thanks a lot for that, but I've tried that too and it didn't get it working. I think it's something about the DNS/Ports as that would be the only way to explain why it always works on some connections, but not others. On all of the connections, it connects and fully downloads the file, it just can't install them.....

dns ? then i have some:
Addresses are cached for 600 seconds (10 minutes) by default. Failed lookups are cached for 10 seconds. From everything I've seen, there's nothing built in to flush the cache. This is apparently a reported bug http://code.google.com/p/android/issues/detail?id=7904 in Android because of the way it stores DNS cache. Clearing the browser cache doesn't touch the DNS, the "hard reset" clears it.

Same problem here. I had no problems with 2.3.6 uk official. On CM9 and CM10 I have thuis issue.
Will try to do a clean install, (flash uk 2.3.6, then CM10) because my problems started with CM9.
Do you had this problem in CM9 too?

Thanks alot for your hard job, this ROM is AMAZING!
I have signal drop after install this ROM (using version 2012/7/21).
To solve my problem, I copied the File_GSM and File_Seem_Flex_Tables files from my stock ROM (Retail Brazil) and replace the CM9 files.
I put the files in /system/etc/motorola/bp_nvm_default and reboot, and now I have strong signal and no more drop calls.
The ROM CM9 to Motorola Bravo CrystalTalk function is supported. I tried to copy the file Phone.apk this ROM for the Milestone 2 and the option to configure the CrystalTalk appears in the phone settings, but after a reboot the settings are lost.

Ok I will try this. I've extracted the files from a gb nandroid backup so I think that this is almost the same but I will give it a try.
I've also used the baseband switching app with no luck.
Anyone knows witch files manage the 3g on our phones¿ I replaced the ones that are listed in the above posts but are there others?
Thank you mates

Hi,
I got the same problem for Wifi and in minor way for 3G with mine (my baseband is EPU93_U_00.60.00).
I deactivated the national roaming but reactivated it now for testing ...
For the Wifi I tried to disable 802.11n in the tiwlan.ini file but seems to not work.
I'll try to do the requested log readings from tezet when I would have time.
A message for lotan_rm, you're not the alone one (also need to reach 10 post for posting in dev )

So you didn't replaced the original files. The attached files are with differents permissions. Use root explorer to replace the files and it will be with wrong permissions. Then, you change the permissions and reboot. At least here the permissions were wrong...

I'm from spain. The sbf that worked well for me was the uk gingerbread (MILS2_U6_4.1-22_SIGNED_UCAMILESTONE2B1B80E1014.0R_USXMILE2GBRTDACH_P013_A007_HWp2a_Service1FF.sbf).
I didn't replace that files because these are for brasil baseband. I replaced those files with ones on my backup that worked well. The problem persists.
So then I created a sbf using motoandroid depacker that only containts the cg45.smg (baseband files). Flashed it. Problem persists.
Checked the files permissions they are ok.
Used baseband changing app. Sadly, problem persisits.
I tried also a clean install. (flash uk gb, then install cm10 doing all the wipes etc...)
I will try to use brazil files and check the permissions..... thak you everybody

Wifi problem

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?

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!

Same to me, i have tried everything, flashed different builds even the latest, but wifi don't connect it's only sees the networks. Everything is Omni stock, also tried with latest cwm and latest twrp to flash build and all the time the same wifi don't connect to network even if i disable the encryption to not secured (no wep, wpa, or wpa2) without password won't connect.
I don't know what to do more, i'm stucked to CM10.2 while i cannot use wifi on Omnirom 4.4 and even CM11
Maybe @Entropy512 can help us, you know what could be?

It's working fine for others, which makes me guess that you guys might have a new wifi MAC address configuration that needs to be added to macloader...

Thank you very much for your reply.
I have checked with CM10.2 and the mac in Omni seems to be identically with the one from CM10.2, even on CM11 i have the same mac with CM10.2 and omni but only on CM11 and Omni wifi does not connect only saves the password.
Anyway, how this can be done with macloader, is anything we can do? can you be more/give specific/details?, or this has to be done from I9300 omni sources?
Is very frustrating that i'm not able to use the wifi on any router that i have home and at work....

So in /data/.cid.info i have: murata but this in CM10.2 in Omni this file is missing from /data, it's placed somwhere else?
The first three bytes of my mac are: 1c:99:4c
Thanks man for trying to solve my and probably other user issue.
LE: i have tried to manually copy from CM10.2 .cid.info to Omni /data and set proper permission via es file explorer and rebooted, but after reboot file got removed by the system i think wasn't there anymore as system default on clean flash.

Macloader generates it on reboot, and if it doesn't recognize the MAC address, it will just nuke the file and not regenerate it (see the source code I linked)
1c:99:4c is not a recognized MAC in our macloader - so I'll add that tonight. If I manage to merge it before nightlies, your MAC address should be working tomorrow.

I have just check the link and now i understand what is really happening thanks to you.
I'm happy that finally someone heard me and found the solution for my problem and probably for others with these three bytes.
Many thanks once again for your help :beer:
