Bought my Galaxy yesterday and it works fine but on one point. Yesterday I was able to find the home network of my friend in his house. I could connect to the internet with that as well as through 3g. But later at my place it does not work with any home network. When I try Settings, Wireless and network, Wi-Fi settings and Wi-Fi, the phone turns on Wi-Fi and scans for some seconds and the leaves a message that says "Unable to scan networks".
Maybe I have switched on or off something accidentally as I am a new user on this phone? Anyone for help?
turn off the phone
then turn it back on
in another words, reboot your phone, seems like it got stuck in some WiFi bug
It does not seem to help. I even took out the battery. Still unable to to scan
you can try this
*2767*3855# WARNING! FACTORY DATA WIPE AND RESET as soon as you enter the last # use it only if you want to clean wipe your phone

I really don't want that as long as I also cannot backup the video in it. Have not got the Kies program to recognize the phone yet.
Maybe there is another way to set the scan possibility?

you don't need kies
see the last secret code?
It defaults to User space. I do not yet have any extra Micro SD card. Is it that what means with User space?
Tried that last command and do have at least one file of each in the folders, but the phone answers for each of them that the files are not ready? What else is there to be done?
Had same problem, tried factory reset... didn't solve it. any ideas? it can't get an ip address and it used to work
probably the next best thing is to use Odin to reflash the modem file to the phone
or a full flash to the latest firmware
Same problem appeared on my SGS. Boy this sucks. The wifi became "hard" to connect sometimes. Or I could connect but had no internet access. Then I disconnect and connect several times to have net access.
One hour ago the wifi died. I turn it on it says "Unable to search for networks" and shuts itself off.
WTF. I have to reflash!!!! Not good. Also I don't know what caused this. I'm on JM2 with One Click Lag fix 2.1
one thing is for sure, the STOCK rom has no problem with that
so it is either a Router thing, or a firmware specific problem

JM2 isn't a final release firmware. Realistically, if you want everything (well, other than GPS) to "just work", stick to official firmware.
Well, I for one, have only the the official firmware and it is the latest one what I have learned. Still the phone behaves as in my original post after just a couple of hours. Is this and other peoples beautiful Samsung Galaxy model not tested enough by Samsung? Has anyone more information than we have?

I agree thats Help me. or you can try upload update.zip (file to make root) on your device and flash that can help too.
Hi all! Thank you for your inputs to my problem. I have now got it working. For those who are interested how, I can tell you that I only did a simple Factory Reset command.
problem solved!
I had the same problem.
I was trying to configure a invisible ssid and by distraction I created a normal WPA 2 network, ending up with two networks with the same ssid (when I was turning off the wifi, it wouldn't go off at the first try, weird, )
Solution:
Edit the "/data/wifi/bcm_supp.conf" (with root permission) and eliminate the duplicated network, problem solved! At least in my case (no need for factory reset )

Just got my Arc yesterday and noticed a really wired problem. I turned on Wifi tethering and connected from my MBP, after a few minutes of normal usage internet stops working. Although Wifi still shows connected on my Mac but sites will never load.
I keep getting "WPA Key" incorrect error if I try to reconnect before I restart Wifi tethering on my Arc. Thing is this only happens when WPA is on, if I choose no security it works completely fine without any issues.
I also tried connecting from my Nexus One and the same thing happened after a few minutes, so it shouldn't be some sort of conflict between Arc and my MBP.
Everything else on my Arc works perfectly, I already tried a hard reset but it didn't help. Does anyone know what else could I try before sending my phone back to SE?
anyone?
Hey did you find a solution? Or has anyone got any suggestions, I have the exact same problem. I can connect to the phone for about 2 minutes then it suddenly stops working. I then cannot reconnect properly untill everything is reset. I tried using it without security after finding this post and it works for me as well - I don't want to have it open though, im in halls of residence so people will try using it. Im on three mobile, I wondered if it is a possible problem with their branded software. (USB tethering works perfectly)
I also cannot connect to the update service through the phone, it fails everytime but there is nothing wrong with the 3g connection etc, and only the update service has problems. I know this is not important, but it could be a sign that something is wrong so it is annoying me a little
Thanks

I have a Xoom MZ601 from Hong Kong, running Tiamat-Xoom-Rom-2.2.2.Moray
It was working OK until a few days ago. System boots up ok. I can open programs and settings. However, as soon as it hooks to a wifi network, it reset itself.
I've tried pulling the SIM card and micro SD in and out.
I've played around the frequency (Tiamat settings)
I've tried uninstalling all programs I installed in the last few days.
... and still no luck.
Any idea anyone?
Did you try wiping in recovery and starting over?
Sorry to thanks too late, I was overseas.
Thanks for the advise. I've tried that and still the same problem.
Somehow, it happens when the tablet loses the Wifi signal. It reset itself. After it re-start, it keeps reseting itself when connecting to my home network.
I managed to make it work by going to setting quickly and disabling the wifi.
The only way to make the wifi to work again is turning off my wireless modem, then let the tablet boot up and fail to connect to any wifi. I will then turn on my modem, "et voila" it works again.
Very Strange glitch.
Any one have similar issue?
I don't know if my issue is related to the Wifi or not, but mine has been randomly rebooting constantly! I can't pin-point exactly a cause, however, I've tried to factory reset it many times to no avail...
I'm thinking now it could be the modem.
I'm using the Dynalink RTA1046VW. I'll try playing with it.
Help!!! After update to 7.0 my phone has trouble connecting to WiFi. It's not mynetwork because other devices connect and it happens at my workplace too. I've tried clearing the partition cache, restarting it and forgetting the WiFi. Even putting it into airplane mode for a few minutes. I'm not very techie so please keep keep answer easy to understand.
I think I fixed it. I went to my Google account and there was a way to restore my wifi settings.
My wife's G4 has been having the same issue... I cannot get it to reliably connect to any wifi network. Very occasionally it will connect but it only lasts for a few minutes before dropping again. Most of the time it just doesn't see any wifi networks available. I've tried resetting to factory, I've reset default networks under wifi settings, I even applied the new system update that came out yesterday, and still no luck. This is very aggravating. Anyone have any ideas?
Hi, I have got a very strange issue, I have data and wifi connected but cannot connect to the internet with either, if it was just one or the other but with both data and wifi, I have tried many 'fixes' but nothing works, I restart the phone and both work fine for a while but after I wake the phone from standby neither work again... maybe this is a clue any ideas? thanks
What does not work? Is there only a particular app that doesn't work over either one of them?
Did you ever use a VPN for this phone?
Also, do a factory reset and see if getting back to the original settings it will work.
