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
Hello there,
As a newcomer, I found out these foruns filled up with great information and guys willing to help, so came here to ask for some help ....I am both excited and dissapointed with my brand new Milestone. Bought the handset about 5 days ago, which came with Android 2.0. Then updated it straight away to version 2.1 via "Motorola Software Update". So far so good ...here´s the problem I am facing :
While connected to wi-fi or 3g(issue is easier to notice due to 3G icon at the task bar, which points out in those small arrows data that is being sent/received) phone stops to receive data out of the blue. All connectios are cut off(it also happens when the handset is locked up). Some basic trouble shooting i did:
- tested all pcs connected to the same wi-fi network. No issues detected for these
- reset wi-fi router configs. Didn´t work
- tried other wi-fi router. Presented same issue
- swapped another carrier chip to test 3g connection. Presented the same issue
- tested my GSM chip on ther phone. Worked properly
- Reset phone to default settings. This time the connection took longer to drop, like 30 minutes, instead of the usual 10 minutes. After the first drop, it´s started behaving the same way again.
It seems pretty much that there an issue going on here (obvious...hehehe). I am considering the following:
- Might be a software issue. So, right now i am downgrading it back to 2.0 version, check if it works properly and then move to 2.1 hopping to get the issue fixed.
- Use retailer warranty and claim for a new phone =/
Could you guys help me out ??
Thanks in advance and Best Regards !!!
Guys, after downgrading version to 2.0, phone stills presenting the same issue. I think it´s turning into hardware issue =/....does anyone have a clue about it?
Thanks and Best Regards!!!
So this actually happened about 3 months ago or 4
i was just using my phone to text a friend with messenger, when the WiFi suddenly turned off.
i restarted the phone hoping that would fix it but it didn't .
It is stuck on "turning the WiFi on"
i tried hard resetting the phone but it didn't fix it, tried flashing other roms, flashing stock roms even and taking a backup from my brother's phone ( we happen to both have a GT-I9000) and restoring it in my phone and it didn't help either .
I went to a repair shop to check the hardware and they said nothing seemed off.
So i'm really confused, i need a solution for this.
been using phone's data since then though.
and i'm currently using paranoidandroid 4.6-beta4
android version 4.4.4
and btw
in settings it shows that the wifi mac address is unavailable if that's means something
Hi,
I have stock 4.0.3 and i wanted to know if there is any solution for the annoying bug that cuts wifi hotspot (tethering) after 5 minutes?
Whenever i turn tethering on, it automatically disconnects after 5 minutes, even if another device is connected.
Any tip about fixing this huge bug will be very appreciated.
Thanks
Anyone ??
I'm sure more people have noticed this bug...
Yes noticed it.
Using freedom os fixed it.
It's based on stock oos only.
I'm on freedom os and I encounter the same bug. My solution was to remove wifi password

I have password on still my WiFi isn't shutting down after 5 mins now.
Lucky me maybe.
Also noticed that yesterday...
Noticed this two days ago when internet was down at my house and I tried using my hotspot to get work done. Was quiet annoying.

That strange I just got my OP3T and havent needed to use the hotspot yet. But my nexus 5x just started doing the same thing recently, made me wonder if its a more wide spread issue across different devices.
Yes it's very strange.
I've read somewhere else that it's only happening after the oxygen 4.0.3 update.
noticed this and can't find a solution yet.
I just got my 3T two weeks ago and I haven't tested WiFi tethering, my phone is running OOS 4.0.3, rooted with Magisk and passes SafetyNet.
I know my old Galaxy S4 worked fine for tethering for hours.
I will test WiFi tethering and to my laptop this evening while streaming content from YouTube and see if my tethering lasts longer than 5 minutes. I will also test if I can properly turn the WiFi toggle on and off without the phone acting up.
Uh this is something I will test out as well. I need a working tethering Hotspot for work and I didn't expect any issues here (just got my OP3t a few days ago.

I've had mine a couple of weeks now and tethered a couple of times and had no issues, however, I've resisted the temptation to update to 4.0.3, due to the touch latency issue and now maybe because of this, and only updated to 3.5.4. So maybe it's a 4.0.3 issue as mentioned?
Greetings, I just wanted to follow up and state that my tethering worked just fine. I did three 10 minutes videos on YouTube at 1080p and consumed 600MB of my data plan.
No interruptions or disconnects. My 3T was on a 4G connection the entire time. Plus I did this test when my 3T was at 14% battery and went down to 8% battery.
Once again my specs are the following, OOS 4.0.3 and Magisk Rooted.
The actual issue is hotspot will be disabled if no device is connected.
Only fix I found was using either Tasker or Automate to check that and switch it back on (I use a location trigger, since I need while at office only).

When enabling Portable hotspot, which uses Mobile Data and allows others to connected to the phone, it states inside "Connected Device Manager" that this feature will be turned off after 5 minutes if there is no device connected.
I'm not sure that this is a problem, I'm sure my Galaxy S4 did the same thing when no device is connected after a period of time.
But yes creating a Tasker profile to keep toggling this on when it turns off would work.
Hello,
A few months ago I noticed I had trouble to switching WiFi/Bluetooth on on my xperia z3+ (lineage OS 14.1) : when I slide on the WiFi slider, it load "Turning WiFi on..." until it switch back to off by itself. I don't think it's because of software update because I actually stayed on the same firmware for a while where it initially worked then started having this issue. Updating didn't solve it.
What I tried :
-Google the issue, I saw other xperia users having the same problem on different models but I didn't manage to find a fix
-Safe mode
-Wipe everything and reinstalling fresh rom
-Tapping the WiFi button furiously for a while
I'm having internet problems at home, but I can't manage to share LTE to my computer successfully, and I suspect both issues to be linked.
I tought I should ask for help before officially declaring the phone physically dead, so here I am.
Thanks for reading, any answer is much appreciated. Sorry for the long post despite it just saying "WiFi bug plz help".
