Ok, no idea why this is working, but it is on both my wife's nook and mine. I had a Droid that I restored all my files from using titainium backup. One of them was Quick Info Pro. Playing with it when my wi fi was cycling on and off, connected my wi fi on my nook. I installed it on my wife's and it did the same thing. I dragged the notification bar down, used the atk included, then started the app. Tapped each of the tabs (sometimes took two times) and wi fi stopped cycling and connected.
This seems to work after every time it sleeps. Before, it would take forever for it to reconnect, or I had to reboot.
As I stated before, no idea why this is working, but maybe it will help someone else. And yes, I know you don't need an atk with Froyo and higher.
Thanks I would try it and will report my result.
I used to try press power and vol + at the same time but it did not work.

"your recommendation like a black magic", but it works, I tried it three times and it successed every time.
thanks
Glad it helped you too. Anyone have a good guess as to why it works? Maybe it is sending some kind of request that breaks the loop?

A little background on my phone:
T-Mobile G1 USA, black
2300mAh battery
Amon_Ra's Recovery
CyanogenMod5 Test 6
Newest Radio
DangerSPL (Hayukos, however it's spelled)
Launcher Pro
Ok, so here's the issue:
A while back my Wifi stopped working completely. I flash my phone a couple times a month, every couple of months. I get bored and look for a good ROM every so often but once I find one I like I stick with it for a few months.
If I can coincide Wifi issues with a ROM, it would have to be KingKlick's 2.1 Espresso, but I'm not positive on that and I can't blame it on one ROM, at least I don't think so. It doesn't work with ANY ROM since around that time when I flashed that ROM (about 3-4 months back).
Since I flashed Super D 1.1x and up it works for about a minute or two and then I get an error saying there's no connection in the browser, Youtube, etc. It's doing this with CM5.0.7 test X.
I've done complete wipes of the phone through Amon_Ra's recovery, Data, Dalvik, EXT, battery, rotate... reflashed fresh ROMs... won't fix it.
I don't see how this could be a ROM issue at all, since it's across different 1.6 and different 2.1 ROMs. I also don't see how it could be a hardware issue since it works for a minute or two then stops.
So could this be a radio issue... or an SPL issue? I don't know exactly what those are, so I couldn't say. Would flashing the radio again fix the issue? Any help or suggestions is appreciated.
Download an application called "wifi fixer" from market. It seems to fix issues like this. Just a chance, though.
Strangely, I started having the same problem a few weeks ago. Wifi only works from a few minutes, to a few seconds. If I stream some music, it may last all night. Next to playing around with apps, I have not re-flashed my G1 at all. I found setting a static IP sometimes helps.
Trying wifi fixer now.
Downloaded it... doesn't work!
It seems to stay connected about another minute or two longer, but that's it. The app itself is really laggy and I keep getting a Not Responding error when trying to pop up the menu to get the logging to work.
When I finally get the menu to pop up I have no clue how to even get logging to work, there's the button for it but I have no clue if red/green is on or off. The pop up "Enable Logging"/"Disable Logging" doesn't really explain it well. I have no clue if it's saying I did enable or disable. And I have no clue where it saves the file.
Thanks for the suggestion though. And I don't know if it's T-Mobile, but my internet in general isn't working right now. 3G shows several bars but it won't load ****... I've had this problem before when T-Mobile was just the issue for a few hours.

Sorry, fixed my issues without any problems when I had them. =[ I don't know why it's so buggy for you, worked like a dream and that was the only reason I suggested it. Sorry to offer false hop. =[ I can't really be of much more assistance.
hey guys, I don't know what's going on with my S7 but yesterday was working fine and out of nowhere everything started to FC! From twitter to "Google Services Framwork", Gmail, browser, tweetdeck, calendar, voice, I can't pretty much use it anymore, I haven't done any new app installations so i don't know what's wrong! is it just me, or anyone else having this problem??
Any help will be much appreciated!
Thanks
That has happened to me 4 or 5 times. It's like half of the device gets erased but the apps are there. Everything force closes. I end up having to erase the device and re-install everything. Reboot into recovery if you can't figure it out and format the system and data. For some reason when i do that, i keep root. Not entirely sure how that happens, but one less step for me. I think root is power and one of the volume buttons.

ha! i remember I already did that. After the Update we had, and I exchanged mine for a new one I decided to stay with no root (i don't know why! lol) so I guess I'll reset everything and go back to root I figured at the end I was gonna do that, but I was trying to see if it was just me or there was a fix
thanks man!
ok, so since yesterday I've been trying to factory reset the DS, and when it boots back on, everything stays the same!
I'm a little confused now, if I take a picture and I turn the tablet off, when I turn it back on, the picture disappears. Same thing happens if I move widgets, delete or create new ones on the screen, they go back to as the configuration was on friday night! GV not working, and the last message that shows there, same thing, shows the last one on friday. I don't know what can I do.... should I call dell??
duck tape and dynomite
stupid thing started crashing yesterday FC this and FC that ....cant restore it as i no longer have write access to the internal sd card
1) tried nv flash
2) tried restoring from clockwork
3) tried pushing files through adb
4) tried fastboot ....
if i didnt just dump money into this thing id blow it up ......
any help would be appreciated.......any tips to fix it or kill it completely so i can get another one
actually deleted all of the files on internal sd card and uninstalled every program on the device looked completly stock ....rebooted it and it went back to how it was yesterday ......theres gotta be a reason why other are having the same problem that started on the same day .....maybe dell pushed an OTA update and screwed us ......just a thought cause mine was fine till i went 4g yesterday so my sis could post facebook pics ....not sure but hope we can figure this out
Samething happened to me
Hi, did you ever find a solution? my streak 7 was ran out of battery, before it shut off, the screen started flickering and then it turned off. after it came back on, it looked like it was fine, everything looked normal, but then everything started force closing, haven't found a solution

I'm running stock, and I discovered the hard way that you can't let the S7 battery run all the way down. The S7 will not power itself down in time. I had the same issue, and the only way around it was to do a complete factory reset, using the menu button from the main screen. I think the reset is in the "About" section, but I don't have my S7 with me now.
Being used to WM6, which powers the device down at 5%, I was not expecting the device to do this, but there it is.
dell streak 7
im not sure if I am the only one with this issue you but becareful with the streak 7 mine well both of mine wont charge properly and the newest one wont charge at all. i have to send it back to dell for them to fix it. Im not sure what cause this but my only advie is to never use a different charger for it only dell chargers. Im guessing that it messes up the battery callibration and then it gets really hot when charging
Long time lurker, first time poster.
I woke up today to see my captivate screen showing blank screen (active black screen with buttons lighted up) being unresponsive. It was on it's charger from the night.
I pulled the battery to shut it down. It rebooted. I thought nothing about it until I tried to use it about an hour later.
I have had it on stock Froyo, with no root. Never have flashed any other ROM besides updates through kies.
Problems and things I've noticed so far:
No puzzle lock screen. Can't find it under "set screen lock". Only None, Pattern, PIN, Password available.
Home button and search button do not function(they light up like they are pressed, but not action occurs in any apps or home screen).
No data. Usually i'd see edge or 3g, but I have no data connection.
Text messages wiped. None available through "Messages"(though call log shows history of messages).
Keyboard was on stock android rather than swype(since changed back to swype).
Holding power button only shows "Power off" option. Before there was at least Airplane mode.
GPS was on(I hardly ever use it).
Location settings seemed to be default("use wireless networks" was unclicked)
Most other settings/app data seems fine.

Other related things:
Day or two before I received a text message from AT&T to download Kies and use Froyo(Don't remember exact wording, lost the text message, but something to the effect it looked like a mass mailing text to update to Froyo using Kies). I was already on Froyo(flashed as soon as I found out it was available few months back).
I also got a text message about downloading their at&t app to manage my minutes and pay my bill(also already had that app).
My Captivate would randomly freeze/unresponsive a few times, but I didn't think much of it.
Google Music app seemed to randomly start playing the audio file i paused(just in my pocket, or once when i put headphones in to make a call).
Searching the forums, haven't found too much related.
One thread suggested using "home switcher", which I have tried(both Froyo and regular versions, though can't press home button for Froyo version). Neither seems to know what my default Home App is, but it only sees TwLaucher(I only have TouchWiz).
Tried installing an alternative launcher(ADW,LauncherPro), still no home/search button.
I'm without my computer for the weekend, so I can't backup my files and reset to factory just yet.
Anyone have any thoughts to fix this or know what may have went wrong?
I might finally make the jump to a Custom ROM if it'll fix this.
Yes, you should either flash a custom rom or do a factory reset. I will say an event similar to this, also involving text messaging, is what made me make the leap to Assonance, and then Serendipity, and I haven't looked back.

At the least, try a master reset.
You're not alone....
Two Saturdays ago, I woke up, grabbed my phone to see what time it was and my phone was going haywire. It as blinking, flickering and rebooted on its own a couple of times...without me touching it.
When I DID manage to access the phone after a reboot there was no connection. I couldn't call, send/receive texts, nor could I access most of the features (during one of the haywire moments, the phone popped open my "Gallery" folder and started running a slideshow and then shut down. Again, all without me touching it!) There was a distinct blue circle with a slash where the 3G bars used to be on the top right corner of the phone.
I did a factory reset and didn't help. Wiped everything off the phone, but the device was still going nuts.
I got the phone in mid-December and have absolutely pampered that thing. Never dropped, never scratched, never abused. So I was surprised when I took it into the AT&T replacement center that the lady told me that my battery was wet! Not the phone, but the battery. Those two white-that-turn-pink indicators are so close to each other on the phone that I can't see how one gets wet while the other doesn't.
So they give me a new phone. One thing I noticed right away was that my data usage went WAY UP with the new device. To put it in perspective, I used 100 mb of data in 29 days and 64mb IN ONE DAY with my new phone. I thought it may be a one-time fluke, but it's not. I am only 10 days into my new month and am already at 164mb out of 200mb in my plan. I have NEVER used 164 mb in the 6 months previous, let alone in 10 days.
Fun's not over yet. I noticed a lot of crashes and "Force Closes" with the new phone too. I didn't even have any apps downloaded yet and things were still crashing. Last night I pull my phone out to take a picture and...nope. Screen was all kinds of whacked out and it crashed. And still does now every time I open the camera function. I managed to get in camera mode fast enough to do a reset, but didn't work. The screen is fine otherwise. So looks like I'm back to A&T tomorrow for another round.
I'm glad you posted this, cause the same morning all this happened -- literally, within 10 mins of me waking up -- my computer (brand new - 2 days old) went berserk and shut off and my stereo started flipping channels, turning the volume, treble, bass up and down..BY ITSELF without me touching ANYTHING! It was pretty freaky. I wondered if I was struck by lightning the night before.http://media.xda-developers.com/images/smilies/eek.gif
I was finally able to get back home today and do a factory reset. This (somewhat) solved the problem. Everything is mostly back to normal(home button and search button work on home screen, lock screen is there).
Lost a couple of game saves as I had no method to pull a save file(was doing adb pull on some known file locations).
I did run adb logcat before resetting, and home button and search button seemed to trigger something, just not follow through(Search button did work in a card game as a forward button and home button worked in the kies app to exit, just never as a return to home button in apps).
I'll be looking to root and flash a custom ROM, especially root so I can do a proper backup in case anything like this happens again.
I just want to say thank you posting in q&a and doing research before and after your flashing started. Then searched after your problem. You're a new member of a breed that are few and far between. I will hit your thanks when I get on my computer, app doesn't have it. You will go far here.
I'm not gonna BS anyone. I'm clueless!!
I lent my phone to a friend for a few days and he installed one of the ICS roms on it. A few days later I realized that it would no longer keep wifi active. Anytime I'd attempt to turn wifi on it would say error and time out.
I figured no biggie I'll just Odin back. So I Odin'd back to Eclair and still no wifi. Even worse... when I boot the phone it takes exactly 33 minutes to get past the "Galaxy S" screen. It isn't frozen as I can see the S throbbing.
Another symptom of my problems is that the haptic feedback is gone.
In recap, No wifi, no haptic and a loooong boot.
As I said earlier, the problems persist in stock form as well as CM7.
Any help would be greatly appreciated.
OK, The weirdness continues. I decided to try roms I've used in the past to see if anything changed. I started off with Andromeda 1.0. The boot time is now back to normal and I've regained haptic feedback.
Unfortunately I still don't have wifi. It'll now allow me to enable wifi and it'll attempt a scan but comes back with "unable to scan networks". I attempted to manually add multiple networks and get the error "unable to save the network" then wifi gets disabled.
I'm at a loss at this point so I'm hopeful someone can come through.

When you Odin'd back to Stock, did you Master Clear too?
Thanks for the reply.
Yes, I did do a master clear. Internal SD has been wiped but the problems continue.
The haptic feedback and boot time return to normal when I flashed Andromeda 1.0 but go bad again when I go back to stock.
Just went back to stock and am waiting the 30 minutes for the phone to boot so I can do another master clear. Can't see the second finding any residual files that the first didn't get but you never know I guess.
I just noticed that my Bluetooth isn't working either.
Data and cell work just fine though.
so... latest recap...
Currently running Andromeda3. The phone boots just fine in a nice fast timeframe. Haptic feedback is working fine.
Wifi and Bluetooth are no go's. Just don't get it
I complained about this issue originally in the MavRom thread but was advised this isn’t a known issue with the ROM, so after more troubleshooting, here I am. This is the chain of events:
- Bought the Droid 3 unlocked so I could use it on Rogers
- Instantly flashed CM9, lived with the various issues hoping they’d be resolved soon
- They weren’t, so I started looking for a permanent GB rom. Tried MavRom
- Noticed a day or two later the following issue:
Wifi will just randomly encounter an error and turn off. It typically happens without me noticing, and then I’ll be at home and notice I’m on data when I should be on wi-fi. If I try to turn it on using the power widget it will briefly light up as though it’s trying to turn on, but eventually give up. If I try to turn it on through settings, where it normally would say “wifi is on” or “wifi is off”, it just says error. I used to reboot the phone to fix it, but just realized a few weeks ago that I just need to turn airplane mode on and off, then turn wifi back on.
This isn’t the worst thing in the world but it should not happen. There is also no pattern to it, or any apparent triggering event. It can happen half an hour after the last time, or it can go a whole day without happening. My phone is in essentially the same state all night while I am sleeping, so the same thing should happen every time. But sometimes I wake up and the error has occurred, other times it hasn’t.
So as I said, I complained in the MavRom thread, they insisted it wasn’t related to Maverick. So I flashed Eclipse to try it out. Right away I realized that this error was happening in Eclipse too. So, somewhere in all the clearing data and cache and flashing of ROMs, etc, I managed to wreck the wifi in a way that reflashing doesn’t appear to fix.
Realizing this, I tried to go all the way back to stock to see if that would work. I used the .906 to .890 patch (since it’s the only way to go back to .890 or at least mostly), then had to use quick unbrick to fix it when it wouldn’t start up. Everything was fine; it was a stock motobloat Droid 3 again. After a few hours of usage I was pretty convinced that the wifi error was gone.
So I installed Eclipse again. For most of the day everything seemed fine but the same problem reared its ugly head last night just like it used to. It sounds like I need to somehow update the part of the Gingerbread OS specifically related to wifi but I have no idea where to go from here. Has anyone else seen a problem like this before? Any troubleshooting advice?

I would sbf and stay on stock, if it reappears, bring it to verizon. Im afraid I've never heard of this problem before. Since it happened with 2 separate roms, it seems more like hardware. Otherwise the sbf should have fixed it.

Odd. I know that this was a problem on most ICS roms. Haven't heard of it happening on a GB rom. This happens to me on Gummy 1.2. Same symptopms: wifi kills with no cause and no pattern. I toggle airplane and keep browsing as I only turn on wifi when I am actively using it.
