Hello
I am running stock JVQ firmware, unrooted. (The phone was on CM before, but I reverted it back to stock because I gave the phone to my sister) However she just changed her data plan and asked me to enable the internet.
So I went ahead, configured the access points (as described on webpage, checked milion times, I didnt mess up here) And then nothing, tried turning mobile data off/on/off on, restarting the phone, going into flight mode and back and still nothing. The 3g/Edge icon just does not show up and I am running out of ideas. The network type shows as UMTS(which is correct, same on my S2) But mobile data are off all the time. Ive done this million times before, and it worked like a charm as I am on the same network as my sister.
Any advices are appreciated.
Also I searched before posting, couldnt find anything like this.
Carrier problem I assume!

HI there, I have the dreaded 'unable to scan networks' wifi problem- it started after I set up a mobile AP (I didn't turn the AP service off after I'd finished with it- I wonder if that's what caused it?)...
Anyway, I've since learned via this board that I can fix my wifi by 2 methods: 1) performing a reset (would rather not) and 2) editing a line somewhere, root access is required.
I do have a third option- waiting until the 2.2 OTA update comes through, which I understand will require (and perform) a reset anyway.
However, I'm sick of waiting for 2.2.
What I'd like to know is: If I root my phone & fix my Wifi, will I still receive the OTA update?
Anybody?
TIA.
the 2.2 froyo is not OTA
it is OTK (over the kies)
just turn off your phone, then turn it back on, that should reset your WiFi stuck i/o
some times the GPS does that too, just turn off the phone, turn it back on and they work right away.
in contrast to the HTC Windows Mobile phones, the SGS is much much much better, i barely have to do any restart of the phone with Android
with Windows Mobile it was at least 10 reboot a day
Restart doesn't fix it... Tried removing battery, etc. etc.
The 'unable to scan networks' problem is a known issue- at least to this board, If not to samsung.

Im in the same boat as you mate with my Samsung galaxy s, i have tried turning it on and off with alternate battery in and out methods, my wi-fi just wont work now, it turns on, comes up saying "Unable to scan networks" and turns the wifi off.
I have read on many posts about the issue and the best fix appears to be here:
hxxp://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?p=8062313
*Sorry its not linked, this is my first post so i assume it wont let me post links until im roughly around the 25th post mark.
The issue i find with using this method is that in order to browse the phone at a root level to get to that file, you need to pay for the App in the android market to do it.
I have rooted my phone already and already applied the lag fix (boy did that change things), but im more contemplating doing the upgrade to 2.2 than buying the app just to fix a wifi issue. Im hoping this gets fixed in 2.2, or at least a more easier solution / fix.
My question is, if i did buy the app to browse the phones file system and i fix the wifi, does it fix it permanently or just until it happens again and i will have to follow the same process again... ?
did you both turn off Bluetooth when using WiFi?
you can't use BT when using WiFi
I've never had to turn off bluetooth to use wifi before...
However: PROBLEM IS NOW FIXED!!
Here's how I did it:
First, bluetooth was off.
Tried to upload a video shot on the phone to youtube. Got message along the lines of 'will only upload video over wifi'
Next message pops up: 'waiting for wifi'
THEN message box saying' signal strength excellent' & asking for my wifi password!
I've been without wifi for 2 weeks, this is brilliant. Give it a go, try uploading a video to youtube.
I reckon it overwrites the bad line, but who knows. Maybe its a bluetooth thing. I don't care, it worked for me.
Spread the news!

how would I go about updating, when 2.2 is official, without kies or rooting? I've lost patience with kies!
This was mentioned on another topic already but here it is again:
Heimdall, Odin, Rom Manager Clockwork just to name a few, there are many other ways to go about this even without Kies

Hello fellow 2x owners.
Im experiencing the following weird problem:
After using the phone for about 24 hours suddenly my internet stops working. It still has the 3g icon but not the up and down arrows.
Setting are correct, entering new settings doesnt change a thing. Rebooting, turning data on and off, roaming.. nothing seems to work.
The only way to restore it is going back to factory defaults.
Ive done that 2 times already but the problem seems to return every single time again after a while (say 24 hours).
Do you guys have any idea what might cause it? Im using the phone for about 10 days now and its really getting annoying. Comming from a HTC Desire with the same simcard where I never experienced this problem before.
Cheers!

Had the same experience today with a "brand new" VIP changed phone. While in the train from Amersfoort to Apeldoorn I lost connection, checked the APN, did resets, flight mode etc. Eventually it worked when I rebooted while in flight mode, then turn connection back on after reboot... Hope this won't happen more often, as my previous sample (bought on 10 march) didn't show any of this.
Only difference is this one's rooted from day 1.
Hi, does the wifi work? Or... IMs, Tweets, & RSS updates? If there is an issue w/ your phone, you'll want to be clear when speaking to an CS agent. Good Luck!
I ended up finding the problem. Every setting and such was correct, but there was a faulty widget toggle that was preventing data. ended up reinstalling it and the problem was fixed!

Having the same problem
Can't get it to work regardless of how many reboots and toggles. It works after I do a factory reset, but as soon as I have used the wifi, it simply refuses to go back to mobile data once i turn the wifi off.
Really frustrating.
I tried using apndroid to disable/enable the access point. This worked really well, and I got back data connectivity. What's really weird is that the problem hasn't returned yet. I can switch between wifi/3g all I want. I don't really know what the problem was since my sim card (tdc) worked well in other phones, and other sim cards (Telia) worked well in the optimus....
Everytime I go on the Youtube app all I get is "There was a problem with the network [504]" I have cleared cache etc, flashed stock Froyo and GB (each time factory reset and cleared dalvik) but nothing works, also Tweetcaster wont update. Yet all other data dependant apps work? Im confused.
I also hve the same problem, what I found out is that the internet connection should be very good,otherwise it will give error, seems the problem is youtube not the network becuse at the same time I can connect to internet
I've never had a problem before, regardless of how good my internet connecting was. It would work on g/3g or h. It was fine on Sunday then not working on monday.

Problem solved! Turns out the content lock on my t mobile account had been turned on! Sometime during the night between Sunday and Monday the lock was activated, bloody thing!

Just today I noticed that the 3g data on my phone won't turn on.
I normally have my wifi on but when I go out of range the phone would auto switch to data plan.
Today it did not switch, tried putting the phone in flight mode and back out again but this did not help. Its been working fine up to now.
I have put nothing new on the phone or changed any settings so don't know why its all of a sudden stopped working.
Can anyone help??????
I had the exact problem last week and i resolved it by calling my mobile data provider,it turned out to be a problem with their servers

Both comments make a lot of sense.....
I think I will get a replacement SIM card before messing with the phone. If that makes no difference then its a Settings change then a hard reset.
I hope to god the sim card change will do it.
OK here's where I'm currently at.
I tried a number of options to get it working with no success, then I did the following and it came back on.
1. Turned on WIFI
2. Set the phone to Flight Mode
3. Powered down the phone for about 5 Minutes
4. Powered it back up and waited for it to settle down.
5. Turned off flight mode (it asked for my PIN)
6. Put the PIN and it booted up with WIFI on.
7. Turned off WIFI and the Data came on right away.
I have since turned WIFI on and off and the data go's on and off as expected. I also checked my email and did a search on Google on the data plan and it loaded everything fine.
I'm keeping my fingers crossed it has sorted itself out.
I hope the above instructions will help someone with the same problem should it happen to them.
No access to Optus data
Hey guys,
Sorry to dig up an old thread but I've been having a similar issue.
Calls and SMS work fine but the data is 110% gone.
I previously had an Optus prepaid and I noticed that I could never get the data to work.
I have now switched to TPG...somewhat hoping that it'd be better, turned out the same (granted they are the same network).
I have tried fiddling around with different APNs and restarting the phone each time to no avail

Tyvm it worked for me. I actually tried something similar like this the first time it happened but I didn't remember what exactly but now when you listed it, it seemed to work. Thanks alot
As a preface: I am on JB build .489, rooted with CWM recovery installed. Locked bootloader so there is no custom kernel. I have removed bloatware and installed Xposed Framework, but have not done anything to affect the internet settings.
Now on to the actual problem:
Last night I was on the internet when my phone ran out of batteries. I stuck it onto the charger, offline charging was working fine etc.
Then when I turned the phone back on there was no internet connection whatever. The mobile data "on" in the status bar and in the setting page both work but have no real effect, but when toggled the usual Data warning messages appear, or the data traffic has been disabled message appears too. Yet despite all this no mobile internet signal icon appears in the status bar, and I cannot download internet settings and mms settings.
Wifi is a different story: when toggled in the status bar toggles, the animation for wifi on plays for around 7-10 seconds then stops, no signal is established. In the setting menu however, the actual soft button appears to be slightly greyed out, but I can still toggle that too. But once I do, the text "Turning Wifi On" appears on the page, but nothing else happens besides eventually the Wifi turning itself off. No network is found.
I haven't done anything to cause this, to the best of my knowledge. I have uninstalled the few apps which I installed last night, I have tried hard reboots, waiting until both one vibration or three vibrations when rebooting. I have tried resetting the Xposed frameworks to system default (I know it shouldn't have any bearing on it but still). The only thing that I can think of that I havenn't mentioned is that I used the Busybox installer the other day to update busybox and also install the zipalign option (didn't get round to doing anything with it though, and the internet was working fine after that for atlest a few hours) but then again this should have no bearing on my internet connectivity whatsoever.
Well... There you have it. Any and all recommendations are welcome, though I would also say that I would not like to do the usual "take a backup, repair with PC Companion" method which most people seem to suggest, so anything other than that I would appreciate as advice. I do not have logcat installed but I have ROM Toolbox installed along with a few other Root Utilities so I can get a couple of pieces of information if necessary.
So what do you all think? How do I fix my phone?
Thanks in advance!
Have you tried redownloading internet settings through Settings/Xperia/Internet Settings? That might fix the mobile broadband problem

It just says "unable to download"
Bump. Anyone?
Please only bump a thread once every 24 hours.
I would suggest rapairing with PCComapnion or sues.
Maybe restoring a backup.
Take out SIM, give it a clean and re-insert
Apparently removing the SIM card and cleaning it worked! Mods go ahead and close this thread if you want.
