Hello guys,
I've been trying to fix wifi on my Defy since I got the phone a month ago and I'm starting to get really frustrated with this problem.
I usually just read, dont post on forums but I've tried alot of solutions found on this forum and others and. nothing has worked except flashing CM10/11 or SlimRom. Wifi doesn't work properly on stock ROM or MIUI so my guess is it's a framework problem which has been fixed on newer versions because as soon as I swith to android 4.0 or above, I have no problem, but these ROMs eat up alot of the phones resources and I would like to have a more fluent experience so I want to stay on MIUI.
Any other defive connects fine to my Asus router.
So on any gingerbread ROM (stock/custom) wifi works fine a few minutes and then the signal drops and disconnects. After that I can't see any wifi networks in range. and only works again if I enable/disable wifi or activate/deactivate airplane mode, but it drops again after a few minutes.
I've tried changing every setting in the router(changed channels, frequencies, disabled 802.11n mode, changed to g mode, etc), or in the defy related, nothing works unless I flash an android 4.x.
Plz help, I'm desperate.
Thx.

One idea: try getting the Wi-Fi related files from a CM11 rom and use them in a CM7 one. Maybe system/etc/wifi ?

Can you do that? Has anyone tried it? I mean I suppose you mean the wifi drivers, are they compatible with a gingerbread system if they were designed for android 4.x? And if so where/which arethese files? and do I simply replace them like copy/paste?

I used to replace gps.conf with a version that worked better in my country. I never tried with wi-fi files. You could copy-paste them, but I think you should repair permission afterwards.

Hey there.
I just installed MIUI 1.4.22 an my SGS and ran into some severe problems. Despite the fact, that it just looks and feels awesome I cant build up any connection to my provider or it's 3g network.
IT seems like I installed a rom without a modem. Has anybody a detailed solution to my problems?
Thanks in advance.
I know this is an older post with no reply's, Im have the same problems with the MIUI rom. I have used 1.7.8 and 1.7.15, 3g Network problems with stock webrowser, tried every browser, only firefox will work. Any Ideas?

Did you try installing different modems?
check this topic in XDA.

Did you also check the monitor app ? check whether you have accidentally enabled firewall there?
I'm having a problem with having both bluetooth and the wifi being on while running Virtuous Fusion ROM > 1.0.1. If WiFi is on and once bluetooth is turned on, wifi continues to work for maybe 5 minutes and then wifi shows to be connected, but it won't transmit any data. Once I turn bluetooth off and turn wifi off and then just turn the wifi back on, wifi works.
I don't have this problem with v1.0.1 of the ROM, but I've tried every newer version (doing a full wipe or doing an upgrade, tried both) and all of the revisions have this problem for me.
I'm a new member so the forums don't allow for me to post this as reply to the ROM thread in the development forum. Can someone help me, or at least repost this as a reply in the Virtuous Fusion ROM thread?
Thanks.
which version are you using i am also using that sense rom v1.0.6 and wifi and bluetooth work fine
I've tried every version, except 1.0.6, but the changes made from .5 to .6 don't sound like they're going to make a difference.
Maybe it is something with my phone, but I've done a full wipe through clockwork recovery with every version and I keep having the problem. The only version that works is 1.0.1.

my last try would be to completely wipe data,cache,and cache partition and reinstall the newest version...if not it could be your kernel perhaps

I've done all that and tried a different kernel, same problem. This is why perhaps I think it might be a bug in the ROM code.
their might be...not all phones react the same to roms but hopefully that bug can be fixed so you can enjoy ur Fusion rom
I had this problem as well. I thought it was caused by an app called "In-app Wifi Toggle" that somehow got backed up by Titanium from my previous ROM, which I restored onto this ROM without thinking. When I uninstalled it, Wifi was working fine.

I tried looking for this app on my phone and it wasn't there, thanks though...
I'm pretty sure that's just a know bug with that Rom. Same with my phone.

Really? I searched the ROM thread and couldn't really find a mention of it...
I am having some difficulties along these lines but not directly effecting bluetooth use, Wifi just cuts in and out even with me being right next to my router. I dont use bluetooth so I cant really recreate the problem to try and find a suitable solution.
My wifi problem might be because I am using 1.0.5 though so updating right now
hi, im new in xda, sorry for my bad english
im on stock kernel.
but i have a litle problem with froyopro v2.5.
wifi is working only few minutes since i turn on the phone , after 5 or 10 minutes stop working.
ive tried to flash the file Wifi4someuser.zip attached in the froyopro thread but, nothing happen,
i flashed the rom 4 or 5 times and with full wipe , wipe cache devilk and eveything but nothing work.
i was editing the tiwlan but the wifi dosnt work.
any ideas ?
You mean you are using the phone and suddenly it just disconnect? Or when you are not using the phone?

i mean i turn on the phone, wifi works 5 or 10 minutes, after stop worklin,,, i thin the problem is the refresh , when I have the modem close to me,the signal is full but when I have the modem away from me the signal is the same.
the wifi signal not refresh i think thats the problem
as the signal is not refresh does not tell me I'm disconect just tells me that the network is not available
clear the history of wifis i dont think it will solve your problem but give it a try
i did it but dosnt work, i tried everything i read and nothing work,
Maybe it is a ROM bug. Not much people use this ROM, cant really confirm. Why dont you change to Gingerbread ROMs?

EDIT: i tryed replacing the wifi folder and tiwlan but no changes, ....so im back to the new ginger dx v 25 and works great.
Please closed the thread.

Well even I'm having the same problem but not just with PAC ROMs...WiFi doesn't work on paranoid android, aokp as well...
Right now I'm running CyanogenMod 11 which is quite stable...have been using it for some time now without any issues...this, and the stock ROM are the only ones where WiFi works for me
If u found a fix please post it ...
My friend had the same problem,his phone could not connect my wifi,but mine could.If you have another phone with wifi try if you can connect.
Sometimes its not phones fault,I fixed my friends problem going to my routers page(192.168.1.1 or 192.168.0.1 Depens what router you are using. )
So I went on routers page,went to Wifi settings and then changed the channel settings(From 01 channel to 04).
And then restarted router.
My friend was able to connect to it right away.
Note:This problem began to appear when he flashed custom rom.
Hope this works for you

Ditto here. Wifis greyed out on most Roms.Add Miui to this list also.. :-/ anyone know what's wrong.. ???
Absolutely NOT router related..
Running pa 4.0 beta here. No issues.
For those flashing KK roms, are you using the latest radio?

Gps via wifi or 3g, doesnt work after you click on test or when kernel adiutor apply its settings at boot.
I tried some mods of KA, and no sucess. Tried chaning gps confs, using faster gps, no sucess too. Tried multiple roms, multiple kernels, and no sucess.
if anything from any section is applied, the gps via network stops working.
This is in ANY custom rom.
Does anyone have a solution to this, or maybe help finding a solution? i'm going crazy... i want so badly to use a custom rom, but this is the only issue i'm experiencing that i need, and it works perfectly in stock miui rom.
Please help me, and everyone that may be experiencing this :'( lol

Everything is okay, locations work fine. But if kernel adiutor applies its settings, the locations stop working at the exact moment
Damn, still no thoughts or solution to this
