[Q] Help with Wi-Fi - Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Hi all,
few days ago, I finished my school project "SGS ROM + my own app". But I decided to continue "cooking" of my ROM. But here is one thing that I cant figure out.
It is Wi-Fi.
When I try to connect it only writtes :Getting IP from .... And thats all.
So any solutions?
Or what all files are connected with wifi?
I know only:
/etc/wifi
/lib/libwifitest.so
/lib/libwpa_client.so
/etc/permissions/android.hardware.wifi.xml
/bin/wpa_suplicant
Please help me with it.
And I want to say THANKs to nitr8.

my proxy program is not working to test if i can do that cuz my ISB will be changed to another world lol. can someone of you guys try to use a proxy and give it a shot?
im doing my best with kies i even added some DNS to test but it didnt work
i just dont want to use odin kies is better -.-
IT WORKED
Woot Woot Awsome and its all done got 2.2
Like what i said my VPN had problems so i used hotspot shield you can download it from download.com
start it when it load open your kies and try again it will download it i even didnt lose any app
i dont know why we cant use our ISB but i think its ****ed up
good luck and let me know if it work with you 2
I am going to try the hotspot shield later today. Can anyone else try it and let me know if it worked for them. I read on some other forums that if you turn off your anti-virus and firewall it has worked for some people.
Please keep updating here if you are able to get it to work or not.
thanks people.

I tried this and it did not work. I tried turning off my Anti-Virus and Windows Firewall. Also downloaded Hotspot Shield but then the internet was not working and was unable to upgrade on Kies. Does anyone know how to use hotspot shield in the UAE and to make it work??
crypto errors - samsung server
I've tried to update about 50 times over the last week. It finally worked.
It's Samsung server probems. When you start downloading via Kies, the download breaks but it does not stop the installation programme. When it tries to decompress and decrypt the damaged files you get the CryptoError.
Finally it worked for me today. There is only one solution to this at the moment - keep updating till you drop dead or manage to do it.
Kies is a joke!
updated finally
Updated finally to froyo. I think it was something wrong with the samsung server. In a day I used to try least 5 times. Phew! I think you guys must try it. Maybe they fixed it now. The update is really good. There are some UI changes but minor. Best of luck.
@imad604 Many users are not able to use hotspot in UAE. Try updating to froyo now i think it's fixed.

[Q] I am the only one who is pissed off ????

I upgrade my i9000 with KIES to froyo.dxjpe and since this i cant use my internet trough wifi anymore :-(
I try all the tips what i found already: change to fix IP, reset my router, whipe the mobile, change the security on my router, try another router, try another wifi net and and and .... i think i run truogh all what i found ..... no way :-(
If i switch the wifi on, i get a connection, become a valid IP, can open the router page, can ping the mobile from the router but if i try to open any web page or market it says network problem ....
Anyone have any idea ????
No, i will not use odin or something else, im fare away from any worst case help :-(

since you will not use odin, why not just send back to warranty? doh.
I will not send it back, because it was working before very perfect, it is more or less full installed with all what I need and to send it back (here where I am) let me in the worst case 4 weeks without mobile ..... ;-(

A back up data and factory reset .
B update firmware again via Kies
C was your phone lagfixed or rooted or non standard rom on before upgrade .
D service centre your only choice if you do not want to go down other routes .
jje
A: I did already
B: Kies say im on the newest software (froyo.dxjpe)
C: nothing at all
D: ....... im affraid this is the last way .... its one day by car from me - one way .....
Thank you !!
[QUOTE=olsig;
B: Kies say im on the newest software (froyo.dxjpe)
Then it is the newest software that has been uploaded by the network supplier of your phone /
No reinstall/fix firmware on Kies ???
What i would do is delete any WiFi access points on the phone .
Set router with no security and no password .
Turn wifi on on phone and find router connect .
jje
I got a similar problem. At rebot if I first turn on the bluetooth the wi-fi wont work. If I first turn on the wi-fi, the bluetooth wont work. I am on Simply Honey 3.1.
What the hell do you have against using ODIN? Unless you have a power outage or rip the phone out too quick there won't be an issue. If you want to make it even safer use heimdall.

And lots of people already "bricked" their phone by using Odin/Heimdall, including myself (but had a jig luckily). Not blaming the software, it seems to be caused by the USB connection for most people (and I wasn't aware I should NOT use an USB hub as those stickies did not mention it). With Kies it should somewhat safer, never had any issues with it. And why not use it if it's installed already anyway and if he only wants to upgrade to the latest official firmware.
So in case he is just another-messed-up-my-phone guy after flashing he's stuck without help.
As recommended before, delete the wifi settings and set it up again on the phone, maybe that does the trick.
Also, check if you are able to browse a website by browsing its IP instead of its url. Almost sounds like a DNS problem but could be anything really.
KIES IS SAFER ????
how many times have we seen thread about bricked devices after OFFICIAL updates.
bricks caused by ODIN is down to user error !! not the porgram itself, people with no knowledge cause bricked phone.
There would be no point of an android phone if ODIN wasnt made, no custom ROMs, No 3 button fix, No kernel, No nothing. it would be like having an iPhone.
ODIN is 100% safe if you know what your doing.
'ODIN is 100% safe if you know what your doing'
I have used Odin to flash 3 button fix but tend not to use it because I know I dont really know what Im doing :-D
last but not least the service center somehow.
I have the same reason to leave my fingers away from ODIN or Heimdal .... its maybe easy if you know what you do ... i dont know it .... then its maybe not so easy :-( And if i see here how many story's about bricked mobiles .... its better i dont do it. What i said the next service center is one day by car from here ... :-(
But thanks for all ideas !!!
It makes me only sad to go the official way with KIES and then come in trouble like this .... All was working perfect before. The only change was this KIES update ...
There's one thing that doesn't involve Odin but might help:
- get root priviledges on your phone (read about this if you're not familiar with it's effects on your device)
- download SpoofFW from market (lets your phone lie to Kies that it's still 2.1)
- re-apply update via Kies
Thanks myrddral !
I will check out how too root it and try your idea .... I will post my experiences .... Lets hope the best
Hi myrddral,
I root my mobile now with SuperOneClick - i download the app SpoofFW but it says dont use it if the three button function is not working on your mobile .... its not working with my :-(( im a little bit scared now ..... Do u think its okay to try it ????
Have you ever check back your APNs after that? Cause sometime after flashing the new FW it will mess up a little bit your APNs. Check it with your line provider to make sure they match!
Yes everything is still and always working before and after the last update. except the wifi not more :-(
Gm, isn't flashing your phone through odin, heimdall or whatever could be dangerous only if you are flashing the bootloader? If you have the normal 3-button recovery, I mean.
I dont have the three button recovery .... but it seems a "living" mystery ....i just try my wifi again, OPERA and Market say still no connection or network error but i receive e-mails by wifi .... ?!?!?!?! I send my self a mail in google mail by laptop it arrive on the mobile and i answer it on the mobile and i can see it in the laptop too ..... ?!?!?!

[Q] Galaxy Note Wifi VERY unstable after replacing wpa_suppliant. Hope some1 can help

I wanted to connect my galaxy note to my iPad's Mywi for wifi (ad hoc) connection.
Thus i did the following steps:
- root galaxy note using zergrush
- downloaded xda's replacement wpa_suppliant
- downloaded root explorer
- uploaded the replacement wpa_suppliant file to the phone and replaced the original one at /systems/bin
After this, my phone was able to connect to iPad's Mywi, BUT connection is VERY unstable and gets disconnected every 5-10mins. Also it takes really long to get it connected back, like about 10-15mins for it to try to get connected.
I've tried re-doing the WHOLE of the steps above, INCLUDING re-rooting my phone, but to no avail. My Wifi function was working perfectly fine prior to this.
Can some kind souls out there please advice me if I've done anything wrong in my steps? Or if there's any way to solve this? thanks!

I forgot to include, I've also flash stock rom, but to no avail. hope some kind souls can help me out

There can be many reasons.
Try downloading the file again and reflash it. Sometimes a file gets corrupted while downloading it. This might help.
If it still remains after that, contact the developer of the ROM and send him a logcat.
Btw, you can use tags for links. That will make the link clickable.
