Help me with wifi problems... always autodisconnects - Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Hello everybody,
I really hope someone can help me with my wifi problems.
My wifi automatically disconnects. Its is not sleeppolicy or what ever.
The time between every disconnection is random.
It is really annoying when I use msn or when I am downloading something on my phone
First I thought that is was a rom problem, but it is not... I've been on different roms like stock, darkys rom and now CM7 Nightlies #95. With every rom I used I had this problem.
I think it has something to do with my installed apps. I always restore them with titanium backup but I have never restored the data or systemapps... so this is not a problem right??
When I kill al the running apps, the disconections stop for a minute or two but after that it......
It is really annoying and I hope someone could help me
Btw when I disable wifi I don't have any problems.

Losing data connection (NOT wifi but HSPDA, EDGE...)

This is about all the data connection through the MOBILE provider, so not WIFI.
It is after x time when the phone is on. Maybe it is GPS related.
But bottomnline: the icon with the H or the E(dge) is there and it is even flashing for data, however every app stats there is no connection to the network.
After a reboot all is fine.
Other persons are also experiencing this : http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=675786&highlight=huuub
I am using cyanogens latest with one of pershoots latest, but other kernels show the same behaviour.
My guess is that everyone has this problem? Is this a bug somewhere?
This happensto mine as well. I just switch in and out of flight mode to fix it.

So why make a new thread if you've already found one that fits your problem?

This is a carrier issue. Not the Rom. trust me.
I have not that impression. Why do you?

Oh, ok, I should trust you. If you hadn't told me to trust you, I wouldn't have, but now that you did tell me, I do.
I think it's a software issue, as do many other people. Never had this problem with tmobile on any other phone.
Oh, I almost forgot: trust me.
Does anyone here notice it seems to get lost after leaving a wifi connection? Like this bug?

I don't remember to have this problem with modaco desire/nexus Rom

I've experienced this more frequently on Cyanogen roms vs. Modaco's.
really a bug ?
ok guys, I am completely in a stock 2.1 rom .. no mods whatsoever and not rooted as well .. to get this problem, use wi-fi for a while(5mins example) and then disable it .. then use ur gprs/edge and see if it works.. the small E logo will show and the upstream arrow will glow white but downstream arrow will stay dark gray.. both should glow white when accessing the net but it doesn't after using wi fi .. this is really pissing me off having to restart my phone everytime this happens and I use both wi fi and gprs for everyday use .. can someone check to see if this problem is persistent ? thanks ..
Juicedefender is the cause
Ok, I figured out what was causing these problems. And I found out that after uninstaling Juicedefender my Cell connection returns. Anyway Juicedefender didn't seem to do so much for me anyway. (on the contrary I believe)
Can anybody confirm?

[Q] wifi keeps switching on and off

Hey all,
since a couple of days I have a problem with my wifi, it keeps switching on and off (I can see the checkbox activating and deactivating, every couple of seconds, at the moment it is unchecked and says "error")
as I said, the wifi worked before
I am running cyanogen 7 (http://android.doshaska.net/cm7) on Milestone
- But I have also tried MIUI, with the same problem
does issue sound familiar to anyone?
Maybe it is an app which force turns my wifi on/off, is there any way to check which one it is (as far as I know I don't have an of them, eg juice defender, tasker installed)
Many thanks
Have you tried other WiFi networks? Because the same error being reproduced across two different ROMs seems a little unlikely.
Well, the problem is that my wifi doesn't stay on long enough (just a couple of seconds) to scan/connect to any network.

So it isn't a problem connecting to a network, it's a problem of the wifi not even being able to turn on?
Well "technically" it does turn on, but it switches off immediately

wow, i just logged in to search for this issue myself. I have that same issue across multiple roms also. The one that did work was the Telus Lite Eclair. I liked that one, but of course I wanted to check out others. Each one was the same as you describe. Wifi scans, disconnects, scans, in a loop.
I have done searches on google for wifi disconnect loop android, and seen some stuff about kernals and stuff that is over my head at the moment. If some one has an idea on how to get it working that would be great.
I wipe before any install, I've went back to stock and it works, everytime I went to the Telus Lite one it also always worked. I dont know if theres a clue there or not?
Im on an Telus milestone in Canada, on Telus network if that makes a difference.
And since I think this is my first real post, Thanks for the work guys.
Not sure if this would work, but this is the first result that popped up: http://www.droidforums.net/forum/koush/75782-wifi-disconnect-loop-cm6-final.html
EDIT: People are saying that Hidden SSIDs and MAC filtering can cause problems when trying to connect to the WiFi network. Try forgetting the network, making the network visible(protected if you wish) and reboot the phone and try again.
ok, time for a stupid question...
where do I find suitable kernels?
I can't find anything about this (roms and kernel tweaking is a is pretty well documented though)

As far as I know, you won't be able to change the kernel on the Milestone at all, due to the locked bootloader.

a little update, I checked my settings on my router and there was nothing really out of place. For poops and giggles I installed Shawdowmod, and it works with out issue with my wifi. Go figure. Anyway, think im keeping it.
Thanks for the help.
hmmm, good to hear you figured it out.
I just went back to stock and guess what? still nothing
maybe I'll try that rom and see

Other side can't hear

Hi all,
I have a problem that I couldn't resolve so far.
As topic says, it happens sometimes and not too often. I also noticed a small message in my local language telling me to check internet connection. I tried logging with droidwall to see what application fails to connect and came up with nothing.
I did some reading and found out it may be a corrupted apn due to apps such add apndroid. Can anyone confirm that this is the issue or is it something else?
Using Criskelo v77 atm, happened also on darky 10.1 and other roms.
p.s
switching to speaker and then back fix it for the rest if the current call.

[Q] need help for connection problem

hi there, i just bought my galaxy note 1 month ago, and there is a problem with the packet da ta, sometimes i cant connect to the internet and the packet data symbol just suddenly dissapear, i have try to on off my packet data from settings but nothing happens, still cant connect, so i need to restart my phone by turning it off and turning it on so the packet data or internet connection can run smoothly again, please can someone help me with this probelem, is this the provider error or my note?
not sure if it'll help you in any way, as your problem may be completely different, but check your APN settings - few stock ROMs ago, my Note used to change APN name by itself (don't remember now, but sth like "_android" was added to the name from time to time), and I had to manually correct it each time. Then after one of the upgrades the problem disappeared, still don't know what was the reason...

I had the same problem.. changing base and helped.. and getril app.. only other info I have is the GPS causes signal issues.. when it is turned off apps that try to access GPS crash the data signal.. you could try leaving GPS on or disabling the location services in apps like Facebook Google + .. another thing u can try is tonyp's paranoid Android build 8 it has data drop fixes in it .. hope this helps
