Hi!
I have a really weird problem with my SGS.
When I'm installing ANY firmware (I've tried every single one) except of my original FW "JPB", I can't get my WiFi working.
There are actually 2 types of Wifi behavior on the different ROMs. The first one is when you're connecting to the Wifi and you can actually open Google.com, Android Market, etc, normally. But when it comes to a "heavy" sites such as youtube, wifi connection just freezes and nothing helps before you'll close the browser and reconnect to the access point.
On some other roms you're connecting to Wifi without any errors too, but you can't actually open any site at all. And only on FW "JPB" (which is russian official) there is no such a problem.
Also Samsung Apps doesn't work on other ROMs, I even thought that it can be related somehow... I know that there's no logic here, so I'm really confused.
Oh, and even if I'm installing Voodoo lagfix on my official firmware I'm still getting into this trouble
I really want to hear your opinion, so please don't hesitate to reply.
Thanks in advance,
Jay

Alright, this is my first post and I just recently got a Touch Diamond (my first 'smart' phone)...
I'm running into a problem that seems multiple people have been reporting - and that is Wi-Fi. Since the model that I got already came with the latest ROM installed (the one released mid July), I don't have anything to compare it to.
What's happening is that sometimes the phone will recognize my wifi connections, sometimes it won't. Even when I am able to successfully connect, it is only for a brief moment and then disconnects. Since I'm with T-Mobile and do not have a data plan, my main way of communicating will be through Wi-Fi. I'd REALLY like to know if there's anyone out there that might have any ideas...
I also tried updating the phone with the latest cooked SwiftBL ROM to see if maybe one of the modifications could fix it, but I still see the same problem. It's not my wifi because I've tried several other (non-secure) wireless connections and see the exact same problem with all of them. I saw on this forum who suggested to change the power settings of the Wi-Fi device, but that did nothing .
I'm at a loss....could it be a bug with the latest official ROM release?
Hello,
I've been having a problem with AndChat not connecting to IRC.
It will only connect over Wifi, not 3g/edge. I am on T-Mobile and Cyanogenmod latest. More detailed specs are in my sig.
I have tried wiping, reflashing the defanged base and reflashing Cyanogenmod, and reverting my hosts file from AdFree. But I still can't connect.
I have another backup phone that connects to IRC flawlessly with the same simcard, so I know it must be a problem with my phone.
Any ideas on what my problem might be and how I might fix it?
Did the connectivity tester apk I linked you to in the email help?
I downloaded and installed it, but it just sits there trying to connect as well.
I am trying to connect to irc.freenode.org:6667, but I have tried also irc.osx86.hu:6667 and it still does not connect.
It's like just my phone has this problem.
Edit: I tried again this afternoon, I could connect successfully with the tool to irc.freenode.net:6667 and to irc.osx86.hu:6667. But my AndChat still does not connect to either.
This is a pretty crazy problem. It affects more then 1 app with seemingly no cause or pattern. I'm baffled as to what could be causing it :|
Do you think it could be my radio or something?
A while ago I tried an add-on to increase edge and 3g speeds, too, but now it's integrated into CyanogenMod if I remember correctly. So that shouldn't be the cause. Plus, I've wiped and tried new installations of CM since then and still get the problem.
If it was the radio, I think there would be more issues in general. Have you tried different ports on freenode? They use ports 6665, 6666, 6667, 7000(SSL Only), 7070 (SSL Only), 8000, 8001 and 8002 according to their website.
For some reason it magically started working after I got out from work today and tried it. A fellow IRC user (who has also had the same connectivity issues) and I have both had problems but it started working randomly today. Maybe T-Mobile fixed something with the connections? I don't know.
Thank you so much for your help though, it wasn't a problem with your app but you were still very nice and willing to try and fix the problem!
Hi,
let me thank you for all the help you may give me.
The problem is i get stuck on obtaining ip address or the cell doesn't even try to connect automatically so i have to manually start the wifi connection to the network after turning on wifi.
The problem of my SGS not connecting automatically is rare, the first is not, it's actually quite often.
I looked through all the guides and sugestions but i couldn't find any permanent solution for this problem.
Note: I've used the AllShare app but sometimes even that doesn't work.
Thank you for all help
The same problem kept happening with me. Some of the fixes which I tried were
Change channel on router - didnt work for me
Use the allshare app first - worked
Set up a static ip in advanced settings - almost always worked
But I have found that I didnt have this problem with other routers, only mine, maybe because of a power problem with the router.
Many of baffling errors are usually caused by bad input power to devices.
Hope it helps
Thanks for the reply, the problem is that i use it alot on my university, where i can't do any changes to their router (or use static IP).
Also the AllShare app is indeed a fix, but only if used every time i think. I'll do some more testing, this problem is really annoying and that's a shame because it complicates the use of most of the smartphone capabilities.
So if anyone else as another solution i would be glad to hear it.
Also i'm on stock rom installed by my operator Vodafone (had the same problem on JPY).
Edit: After a very quick test, it seems that using Allshare once does work, but i had the impression that sometimes it would be needed more than once (even without rebooting). TY for the tip.
Update:
After some more tests i came to the conclusion that at home i need to use AllShare every time i want to connect to my network.
This seems to be a problem affecting several users of SGS, does anyone know the answer to this problem? Or at least an app that minimizes it?
It's quite bad and very frustrating. Thanks, for any and all help.
I had the same problem with stock Android 2.2.1 on 3 phones all Galaxy S. Dropping the packages on voip calling, internet was slow most of the time. I use a linksys wrt54g with dd-wrt, I never had problems with any other devices.
My problem was solved when I installed GingerReal. Also on Miui I didn't had any problems with the wifi connection.
Maybe is just the stock driver incompatibility with some devices.
Thanks for the reply,
I've only had bad experiences with flashing, last time i did everytime right and Odin just hanged, i almost had a serious problem in my hands.
Since this is probably the first and last good phone i'll ever have, i would really like not to kill it (also some people in my family would be very disappointed, it was a gift).
So any workaround? Sorry i'm so insistent but i think that are a lot more people interested in this. TY.
What's up guys, first of all I've looked up for that problem on the board and none of the topics are helpful.
Well, I've got SGS with CM9 nigtly 2012-05-06 with the IcyGlitch kernel. I've checked different modems and kernels and nothing. The problem is connected with the wifi. However it is only about my router. Somehow my phone and router don't like each other. The wifi speed is really slow, to download something is a miracle, facebook sometimes even doesn't want to log in. The problem started after I installed cm9. I've tried many builds of CM9 and none of them helped. I don't wanna wipe the phone and install another rom, I just want to fix it, if everybody can work without any problems, I also can. My router is D-Link 524. I've tried other cell phones and they work fine with the wifi. Also I've tried other wifi connection like at my university and it works cool.
What can you advise me to do ?
Hey there!
I recently rooted my I900 (which I had never updated before) using SuperOneClick and everything worked just fine. Now I decided to update the firmware to 2.3.1 using Kies and it worked(my root is gone, but I knew that), but now I have run into a problem: I lose my wifi connection every 40-60 seconds or so, which makes online games or downloads impossible. The Wifi symbol dissappears for a few seconds and then returns, the internet works again instantly, but, as I said, any download or the like is cancelled. I tried getting a static IP adress and turning WLAN standby mode off, but to no avail. What seems to be the problem? What can I do? I would like to fix that without formatting anything, if that is possible.
Thank you very much in advance,

why not update it to 2.3.6 First, normally KIES will update to the latest for your region, so check here for your region or use webversion of Check Fus 2.0 ROM Downloader
Thanks for your answer.
In fact, I already have updated to 2.3.6(instead of 2.3.1), I made a stupid mistake there, sorry ' bout that.
But I managed to fix it, turns out my static IP configurations where somewhat off. I used a guide I found (but can't post here because I'm new) and now everything works just fine. So, yeah, my problem's solved, sorry for wasting your time. ^^
