[Q] Why is Wifi Always Turned Off When Nook Boots? - Nook Color General

I am on CM7 nightly 31, but have been having a problem for weeks now. Every time my NC starts up, Wifi is disabled. I can manually start it, but I can't figure out what is causing this behavior. This problem has continued through multiple ROM updates. Any ideas?

This was happening to me until i did a clean install... never found the root cause.

By clean install do you mean restore to stock then cm7?

thats what i did when i had that problem. using froyo. just reflashed everything and it was back to normal.

I'm having the same issue with CM7. Did you manage to resolve the issue?

Also having the same issue. Not sure when it started, been flashing the nightlies since the first build most nights and I didn't always have the issue, but its been going on for awhile. Haven't really cared enough to do a full wipe and reinstall since its just a nuisance (sp?) just wanted to throw my hat in the ring as another person with the issue.

THere are other topics about this exact issue, from what i've read though it has to do with airplane mode defaulting to "on" when you start your nook. It's not set to on in the settings, but in the actual system files. There is a fix for it out there, but I don't have a link. I personally like it defaulting to off because I don't always turn my nook on to go online right away and it saves battery.

Yes. a clean install fixed this issues. I also am no longer having the issue with the wifi turning off during sleep mode.

Great thanks for the confirmation I guess I'll bite the bullet and do a clean install.

So I found a solution posted on the dev forums that does not require a full wipe. If you use a sqlite editor you can disable airplane mode in settings.db.
Hope that helps someone!

auto rotation not working now...

On ultimate captivate rom with jk4 modem and gb's 11811 kernel. All of the sudden the phone froze. Did a 3 button hard reset to boot back up. Everything was fine except for a big problem. The auto rotation doesn't work anymore. Disabled/re enabled in settings. Rebooted. Help please!?

Sounds like a bad flash to me. If it were my device, I would flash stock, master clear, and install the ROM fresh and clean. If the problem recurs, I would re-download the ROM zip. And flash clean again as above.
I had to do all of that on my last flash due to a partially unhappy zip.
When you say that Auto-Rotation isn't working you talking about in any app/location? Or just the home screen?
On some of the Rom's the Home Screen doesn't rotate into landscape mode.
Just an FYI

It doesn't work in any app. Unchecking the box in settings and re checking it doesn't help either. Nothing workS. Maps, browser, youtube etc. It was working on this rom for a month and now it all of the sudden isn't. I'm going to flash to stock to see if its hardware related

Just a heads up: I had to flash over again due to a bad kernel flash. My home screen would not rotate. Through my own trial and error I found that when using Launcher Pro as my default launcher, my home screen rotates. I have been using Launcher Pro for so long I just assumed that it rotated with the stock launcher. This my be your case.
Do you use Screeble?
I've had the rotate problem on multiple roms. I have been using Screeble, and have become suspicious of it.
I am currently on Serindipity 3.5.2 ever since it cfame out. AT that time I stopped using Screeble. It has been good ever since.
I just installed Screeble. If it is Screeble causing my issues, I suspect it will return within a week.
The only way I've been able to fix it is with a fresh flash. That has fixed it every time.
I'll post back if I find it comes back. I'll watch here...interested if you use Screeble or not.

Well...tell you the truth...i have no clue what that is...so id have to say ....no...
Not sure what to tell you then.
I have already taken Screeble off my phone. It was acting up, and I didn't want to chance it making me need to reflash.
Of course, I'm not even sure that app is causing any problem with auto rotate.
If your continues to act up, it'll be interesting to see if it starts working after a fresh re-flash.
Sorry I don't have anything else to offer.

Wifi always off on startup in CM7

Hello everyone, pardon me if I duplicate a thread here, I tried searching but didn't see a similar issue. I am running a dual boot setup with Rooted stock and CM7 on eMMC. My Wifi works great on the rooted stock, however on the CM7 I need to start up Wifi every time I boot into it. Is there a way to make the system "remember" to turn on Wifi? For reference, I am using the CM7 final from this post: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=12830947&postcount=581

I'm running CM7 on the SD card and my WiFi starts up fine
You probably accidentally turned airplane mode on at some point. There is a bug in cm7 which causes it to stay enabled permanently after. You can use a sqlite editor from the market to turn it off.
Search for airplane mode in the forums for the details.

I don't recall turning on Airplane mode but may have when looking at all the menus. I did do an over night battery test with only the released CM7 on the SD card and it was draining about 0.8% per hour using the built in battery meter. I don't know how accurate a test this is but the result was better than the 2% drain that I saw posted else where. Wouldn't the drain be higher if the WiFi never turned off?
Thanks,

Fix wifi isn't on on boot
If it's not on (and you enabled airplane mode ever) this will fix it:
adb shell
sqlite3 /data/data/com.android.providers.settings/databases/settings.db
delete from system where name = 'airplane_mode_on';
.exit

I was having the same issue, and I was able to fix it by downloading a free app called 'Android Assistant'. Start the app and go to the 'Tools' tab. At the bottom of the screen you will see several icons. When I first ran it, the 'Airplane Mode' icon was on (showed blue instead of grey). I tapped that icon (turning Airplane Mode off). It fixed the problem without having to issue the SQL commands. Let me know if this works for you.
Sweet, thanks everyone. I don't recall ever activating airplane mode, but sure enough, it was on!
Woody, I used Android Assistant and it worked perfectly! Actually, this app was a little bit of a bummer, I haven't had to ADB into the nook in forever... since the original autonooter hit for 1.0. Was a little excited that this was my big chance to get my ADB on again. Oh well, there will be other opportunities. Who knows what the coming Froyo update will have in store?
OMG.
Thank you.
Perfect.

Sorry to burst your bubble
Thanks woody. I think that may have fixed it for me too! I accidently turned on airplane mode fairly soon after I flashed CM7 and have had problems ever since...
Thanks Woody. That was just what I needed.

Droid 3 GPS quits after a day. Need to reboot...

I am trying to find out if the following is a defect in my phone or in the OS.
I need my GPS to work. Since I got my D3 I find that the GPS quits working every day or so of use. Sometimes it works longer, sometimes shorter, but usually about a day. Once it quits, I have to reboot to get it to work again. Battery pull is not needed, just standard reboot. This problem has been with me from stock all the way too current ICS alpha build.
Any help would be greatly appreciated.
Regards,
CM
I would get a new phone through warranty.

I'm stock, have GPS turned on all of the time, and I've never had a problem. (Well, the only time I had a problem was after I tried sleep, to see what would happen. I had to pull battery and found that GPS had been turned off.)

Since 4.4.2 Random Reboots

Hey,
Ever since the OTA update my phone reboots randomly about once every two days [I'm on Verizon].
Is anyone else experiencing this?
Screen just goes black, vibrates once quickly, then its back on that LG G2/Verizon screen and then boots. Then everything is fine.

Nope... Have you done a FDR yet? It is highly recommended to do one after taking this OTA if you have ANY kind of trouble at all.

It's a fairly common occurrence for people on custom builds. I've noticed it when trying to do too many things at once.
There also apparently appears to be a link between SwiftKey and this problem from what I've read, or maybe that's an entirely different problem.
Mine have stopped after I disabled Google Services Sound Search.

I just rooted my phone about a week ago, I'm still on the 4.4.2 KK ROM and have Swiftkey and Google Services enabled. I also am using the Complete Keyguard Disabler.
A few things I've noticed are:
1)Random reboots/Phone overheating
2)Sluggish/unresponsive phone performance coming out of 'sleep' using double tap
3)Speaker/headphone Viper4 mod not working properly
Is a factory reset something I should consider if I didn't root the device until after the 4.4.2 update or is there something else causing these issues? I'm sure there is some user error in #3 as I'm going through the learning curve, but the most concerning is by far the #1 and 2, as I rooted it for the main purpose of increasing performance speed.
Any insights?

I haven't looked at any logs or anything on a remotely technical level. I noticed the google sound search was eating battery so I disabled it. Reboots are gone.

First and foremost, I was not rooted or using anything customer. I never tried rooting this phone because I figured there would be updates in the near future (I was optimistic).
I am also receiving:
Random Reboots
Overheating
Random Apps Crash frequently (Kindle, Search, Home, etc)
I am also using swiftkey.

I believe there are known issues with the G2 and Swiftkey on stock roms (rooted, custom, or otherwise).
What language are you using on Swiftkey. I'm on Swiftkey and Carbon and I'm not having any problems.

I'm also on Swiftkey and am experiencing very similar issues, using English as well.
On a side note, I also work in a building that has no cell service and continuously cycles through wifi connections because the 3 networks I have entered vary greatly in strength based on a 10 ft radius of where I walk.. could this be a cause as well and is there a way to stop it from happening?
I've tried removing all of the connections except 1 wifi signal but then I'm really only connected when I'm at my desk and if I standup to walk somewhere it's disconnected...

Ambient Displaying incorrect time

For whatever reason when I enable ambient display the time won't update until I unlock the device. Has anyone had this issue? I'm stock and rooted with Franco kernel.
Sent from my Nexus 6 using XDA Free mobile app
Try wiping dalvik and cache in recovery, maybe fix permissions as well. If it persists, try re-installing stock kernel, or maybe re-flash the rom as a last resort.
Do not do fix permissions, it'll cause your phone to boot loop on the nexus 6.
Kernel has nothing to do with the time and making it display incorrectly.

I have the same issue. Using stock rom with lean kernel (1.7).
I kind of hate ambient display anyways so I guess I'll just wait for an update to come out
Sent from my Nexus 6 using XDA Free mobile app
I'm having this exact same problem. But I'm not even rooted, all I did was unlock the bootloader, running stock 5.0.1, stock kernel, stock everything.
I've tried having the Time be set automatically, and I've tried turning that auto-set off. The display still doesn't show the correct time until I go to unlock the screen. It seems like it freezes after a few minutes no matter what, kinda like the deep sleep bug. But turning off the Automatic Time setting used to fix that...
Anybody have any idea what causes this now?
actually... it doesn't FULLY freeze... it seems to update 1 time after a set interval. I can't tell what that interval is, and it seems to change randomly, but it'll never be more than, say, an hour behind.
I wonder if there's any way to change the interval? or at least find out why it seems random?
