Hi everyone,
I was driving from Wash DC to Montreal about 3 weeks ago. Once I got to Syracuse NY my N1 just froze. I took off the battery and then it wouldn't boot. ( I was running frf50 + froyo radio since the first day it was leaked). I thought maybe a routine wipe would fix it. It didn't work. I was out of options and had to wait until I get to montreal to use a laptop and see whatsup. Once in Montreal I downloaded a Rordriguez Froyo and the phone booted up. Now the problem started. Wifi doesn't work. Whenever I turn it on it says unable to scan for networks and then another error pops up saying " Sorry! Activity wifi settings (in application settings) is not responding." I tried a million different roms and radios and the problem persists... Yesterday I flashed another froyo rom and wifi worked and actually connected to my home WLAN. Then suddenly it stopped working again... Can anybody help me? this is so frustrating, especially since I have only 2 bars of EDGE in my basement. I think it might be the Wifi driver that is causing all this. If somebody can link me with the Wifi driver I might be able to fix this problem...
Thanks!
PS: All radio related stuff work ( bluetooth, 3G...)
if you flashed a lot of roms....and it didnt work, chances are its a hardware issue, not a wifi driver issue as thats reinstalled with all roms

I have had my TYTN 2 since launch, It worked GREAT, everything was fine...until about 3 months ago. I am on the FIDO network in Canada, and (just like some other poeple) 3G stopped working when on 'AUTO" but GSM still works fine. Now I checked the thread about fixing this issue...so I used the search but they all have the problem where it didnt work in the first place...mine was working for a year and then just suddenly stopped.
I have switched to Garmin's 1.2 ROM and switched the Radio ROM, but still the same problem...is it Hardware? coz I would REALLY hate un-flashing everything that I have just done yesterday and after re-installing all my programs :S
bump, anyone?
Here is a suggestion that may help, well hopefully.
Have you installed advancedconfig? If not do so.
Once installed go to start>programs>advancedconfig>menu>comm manager settings>check 3g>click ok>done>soft reset.
After the reboot open your comm manager and and turn 3g on....
On mine 3G DID work originally, and when I searched about the problem I found many where the 3G stopped working after a few months too. All had to send it back for repair, so I tried a few different ROM/radios, as all was unsuccessful I also returned it. Now everything is fine... except they kept my precious for 2 months
Thanks, I'll first try RedBandana's fix, and hope taht it works. If not i'll have to send it in all the way from Canada
My g1 have big problem, it loss signal all day, most the time. I tried turn on air plane mode and turn off, or retart the phone, wipe, up another rom, up newest radio version, use 2g network only. But it doesn't work.
It loss signal random, i can't control or do something to have signal again. even i change many other sim cards. but i discover one thing: seem this problem related air plane mode. because in some rom version, i turned off air plane mode but it didnt, even i restart my phone it still on. i must take out the battery for long time and put it again.
Some time it have signal again but it only for short time.
How can i fix this problem, please help me.
please someone can help me. my phone isn't a phone anymore
hhmmm...Try to upgrade to the latest radio for g1. If that doesn't help, maybe your rom has messed up apn settings or the service in your area dropped.

I can add few things to this since I experience loss of signal multiple times every day:
I have 2 G1s. On both of them it happens:
1. Using different ROMS (CM, Super-D, OpenEclair)
2. Using different recoveries (RA 1.5.2 and 1.6.2)
3. At different times of the day
4. Using different radios (older radio and the newest one, sorry I can never remember the numbers)
5. Across different states ( I took one of them thru 5 different states and it kept loosing signal)
What happens is that I start a program that requires data (twidroid, FB, Gmail, Market) and I see my connection get stuck on the uplink, go away completely and restart the radio. Another way it will do it, is that it will stay on blank screen (or downloading screen) and there will be no uplink or downlink shown)
Tried: wiping, re-flashing radio, re-flashing rom, getting rid of few apps.
Anyone with any insight on this? I can get a log next time this happens if anyone wants to take a look.
Thank!
i tried many diferent rom, radio, and recorvery too. but it still doesn't work?
Now i discover that any connect in my g1 seem doesn't work. wifi can search but when i connected it can't open any page even google. gps can receavie signal, bluetooth can turn on but no one can see me or i can' connect to my headset bluetooth.
May i think it is mainboard's problem? i opened my g1 and see anten signal very perfect, don't have any space or something like that.
Hi all,
I've had SGS for over 8 months now on O2 Contract, UK. Currently running on Darkys Rom. Everything was great until yesterday morning the mobile internet has suddenly stopped working!
I've tried everything; Re-setting the correct APN manually, Switch on/off, Taking battery out. Called O2 & and tried to reset with their assistant but none of it worked. The network seems to be up and running fine on their side.
The symtoms are; I do have the 3G icon on the bar (Displaying 'H'), since I usually get a good strong signal in my area. The problem is, when I start the browser, the google.co.uk webpage works ok-ish. But for any other sites, doesn't work. Can't access email or facebook or anyother internet related apps. All connections fail.
I have other O2-Simcard. And when I try to use internet on my SGS, the same problem occurs. (Websites load less than half and everything stops) The sim cards work fine in my other phone.
Could this be a hardware problem?
I didn't drop or anything, I've been taking a real good care
Somebody please, please help!, Please.
You say Google works therefore internet works .Errors are possibly elsewhere in settings .
Worth doing a factory reset after backing up data to see if that clears the problem .
As its yet another Darky rom problem i suggest asking Darky if above fails .
Hardware probably not blame the rom or settings first .
You will have to remove the rom if you need to make a warranty claim .
jje
I agree with JJ, this sounds like a ROM/Settings problem. If you can get Google, then your hardware is fine. An Antenna failure is usually all or nothing.
Maybe check in Settings/Wireless and Network/Wireless Network Settings/Network Mode and make sure it is still in Auto mode, or switch to 3G only?
As a last resort, flash to a stock rom and see if the problem goes away.
Thanks, guys! JJEgan & rschenck.
Network mode has always been Auto mode & I tried all options but no luck..
The thing is, the 3g internet has always worked fine with Darky Rom. It's just that this happned all of sudden.
I guess I'll try factory reset first, if it doesn't work, I'll then flash to stock rom.. Glad to hear it probably won't be the antenna failure.
I'll keep posted after I try!
Hi guys, I'm still at work so haven't had a chance to do anything.
But magically! I've just put my other (PAYG) O2 simcard and the internet now works! However, still not as good as before. (Slightly laggy)
I was using Darkys 9.3 when the internet stopped working properly, so I upgraded to 9.5 hoping that it would fix the problem, but no help.
Since that it's working now. It seems internet connections is slower than when I had 9.3. Well, at least it works now. (Kind of)
Hey Everyone
I recently installed XXJVB (2.3.3) onto my sgs and it works really well. my only issue is that the wifi connects sometimes and sometimes it doesn't. This happens at home often and is really annoying.
Does anyone else have this problem?
And does anyone know how to fix it?
Thank you for any reply's
I haven't experienced it.
First thing to try before you go any further.
Turn off everything that connects to your Wi-Fi router. Unplug the router from the power supply for a minute, then plug it back in. When it boots back up, see if the problem still persists.
Also, Have you tried a factory reset prior to or after flash?
had that issue when I played around and installed a cpu tool from the market: my wifi acted up same as yours. As far as I could deduce it was because the power/sleep settings were altered -- beyond my pay scale. Uninstalled the offending program and rebooted: the whole system was hickey and media scanning was an issue. So, did a recovery restore in cwm and all is well again.
Suspect the issue is the set up for power management. sleep policy and the other internal setting sin the kernal being out of phase with each other. Do a retore to the last stable system you had.
I have also leanred the value in doing a complete backup before I play with any new themes and mods: that way restore bails you out!
Did you notice that on version 2.3.3 wifi sensitivity worse that on previous version?
Using "Wifi analyzer" application I found that on Gingerbread kernel signal weaker then on 2.2.1 by about 10 db.
I've tried to use modem JPY (from 2.2.1) instead of native JVK but it didn't help.
It looks like somewhere there are wifi parameters that should be configured properly.
SOLVED
Thank you everyone for you input
@electrotune1200
Thanks for your idea's. The whole turning router off and on worked. i feel rather stupid cause i have to do that often so that i can get my laptop to connect, never even crossed my mind to try it for my phone lol.
Thanks again everyone
Hi all
I have a strange bug with wifi and i dont know if its karnel or baseband related.
After the phone is not restarted for 40+ hours i cant turn on wifi connection it says error in setting.
I have to restart the phone so the wifi will work for another 40 hours. I tried it with stock and neoblaze karnel, froyo and leaked ginger roms.
This bug is always there the only thing that i have the same is the baseband 622.
tnx in advance
Sorry to hear you have this issue, I have it as well.
V10d an 725BB (which is supposed to fix this error). I have to restart the phone every 100 hours uf uptime.
Will wait for the GB update if not, it is going back to service.
Regards
I have the v20e leaked and its the same as froyo. I think its a karnel issue and all the stock and modified karnels have the same issue.

Let me guess: The lease time on the networks DHCP-server is 48 hours? If that's the case there's a write-up here: http://code.google.com/p/android/issues/detail?id=11236
Short version: A bug in Android itself; not renewing the lease properly if the DHCP-server doesn't send a server ID. Continues to ask for renewals and rejecting the DHCP-offers, and sooner or later getting kicked off the network for excessive requests. (and a few other things.)
Same here. Doesn't matter what ROM/BB/RIL I'm using. Wifi fails like clockwork after about 70 hours of up-time. I'm surprised this issue isn't more widely reported. Perhaps most people got fed up by the SODs so they simply reboot everyday?
And no, it has nothing to do with DHCP. The hardware just refuses to be switched on past a certain point. And it doesn't seem to matter how many times you've toggled it previously. It's likely to be a driver issue.

Should be easy enough to test. Enter your wifi-settings and choose a static ip-address which is valid, but outside the dhcp-scope of your dhcp-server. If it still keels over at said time, then sure, it has nothing to do with dhcp. If it doesn't... (remember to reboot after choosing a static ip, as one of the consequences of the bug is that the phone keeps using ip-adresses it's no longer authorized to use until the next reboot.)
Its not the dhcp i know that much im an it manager working for internet provider. The wifi does not turn on i cant even search for network. Its says error starting wireless. U cant turn the wifi on untill u reboot the phone.

Fine. I wish you good luck in solving your problem.
Same problem here... V10c.
It's not a problem in my network, my tablet, notebook and last phone (Nokia) never had problems with my home wireless network.
When I try to activate the Wi-Fi I just get the error status, I have to restart the phone to bring things back to normal.
Also, I don't leave the phone Wi-Fi on all the time, I turn on only when I need.
Finally decided I have had enough of this (and this too!) and followed this guide to automatically reboot my P990 daily.
http://blog.homelinux.org/?p=341
Before, I have wifi error randomly (MCR FR17 or 18 maybe), sometimes it can't turned on (error), only reboot can fix it.
But after I use FR19 and now Topogigi, never have that issue anymore.
Ive noticed this error only happens after i recharge my phone. I think im gona flash 0725 baseband and test it.
0725 on my phone, no wifi problems. but dont think it is releated.
I have the same issue but I think I can narrow it down a little, I'm on 0405 BB, will see if it changes after I update to 725 and MoDaCo Gr3.
Anyway here's the deal. I realised the "Wifi error" appears only when you have Wifi turned off for most of the time. It starts after about 30-35 hours of uptime with wifi off. If you have wifi on for most of the time, it will work normally, as soon as you turn it off the "counting" starts. When you reach a total of about 30-35 hours of wifi off, it won't turn on with the dreaded "wifi error" message. After that there are times it does start but rarely. I also noticed that as the "wifi off" time increases it takes longer and longer for the wifi to turn on. After restart it takes about 1-2 seconds. After 15-20 hours of "wifi off" time, it takes 5-6 seconds. Looks like if wifi doesn't start in 10 seconds the OS will automatically declare it an Error. I tried to do a logcat and only thing I got was something about wireless.ko not reachable or smth like that. It's almost like there's a memory leak or smth in the baseband that is triggered only when the wifi is off. Doubt it's something like that but the description itself fits.
It's pretty annoying. I try to keep the wifi active for most of the time but it consumes battery when I'm outside (constant scanning). I would be grateful if someone else could look into this problem cause I doubt it's a hardware issue. I'm updating to Gr3 and BB725 next week so I'll let you know how it goes.
I have the wifi error too and while I used to reboot, I have found another workabout that doesn't require reboot. That is to switch on airplane mode. On wifi. Off airplane. On wifi. Wifi will normally connect after 1 or two such cycles.
Turned off WiFi today so I can test your method. It will take another 24 hours for the "WiFi Error" to appear. Hope this helps although I've already tried Airplane Mode and similar stuff. Unfortunately it doesn't help much if I have Tasker to turn on WiFi.
I tried you solution and it only worked when I first got the "Wifi Error". After some 8 further hours it doesn't help any more. "Wifi Error" started late last night. Airplane switching helped then (but also did multiple On-Off on Wifi). But this morning (I left it on 3G while it was charging just to test further) it didn't help anymore. :/ We'll see if new BB and ROM changes anything.
