[Q] Wifi not working!! - Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Hi all!!
I've got a serious worrying problem with my wifi since yesterday!
Last night my sgs froze, so I did a restart, but when it came back ok I had to turn on my wifi so as to get my emails!
I turned it on but after it didn't find my "saved" network, I got into settings to check what is going on and it was deactivated, I reactivated and saw it scanning but after 5-10 secs it said "Unable to scan networks" and it deactivated again!!
I tried to restore a CWM backup I had but problem remains!
Any ideas? Please help because otherwise I'll have to get it back to SAMSUNG with all the delay you are aware of!
EDIT: Just fixed it by deleting twice the file /data/wifi/bcm_supp.conf and rebooting the phone!!!! Found it after googling for hours!!

Juwe 2.2.1 froyo
I haven't done any change on anything if it helps

Move back to stock froyo or gb. This should help I think!

Have you retired changing kernel or modem, a bit of experimenting will probably sort you out

Hey guys, for some reason data is not popping up after flashing. Someone else flashed the stock build with Heimdall and it resulted in the same thing. Gonna try flashing the modem separate to see if it helps... modem IS there though so idk wtf is up.

This rom is amazing!
One major bug though : phone soft reboots if wifi is turned on and you turn off the screen. Tried changing the wifi sleep policy to never but it still rebooted.
Other bug: GPS still doesn't work for me even after renaming angrygps.APk to angrygps.Bak
I appreciate your effort porting the rom im going to try reflashing to see if that fixes it!
and wow youre 13? great job thats impressive! =]
P.S. setting screen density to 182 looks incredible!

hmmm......I cant seem to reproduce what you're saying.
Remember: if you are having problems, did you
1.wipe cache?
2.wipe dalvik?
3.wipe data?
About Phone still says I9000XXJVP instead of JVQ

I was on Bi-Winning with voodoo enabled
ODINd simply honey with repartition checked to cancel out the voodoo.
wiped all three of those
flashed this rom
titanium backup for user apps only
ill wipe and reflash again cuz this rom is just too nice!
EDIT: wiped and reflashed still the same thing, maybe its my phone...ill try a different rom and see what happens then flash back to this one and see where the issue lies

The kernel is JVP. The rom itself is JVQ. Its like using a KA6 kernel on a kb1 rom.
Is this rom better then the revolution rom, in speed and stability? I heard that jvq is a huge improvement to jvp, but its still using the jvp kernel.

I never flashed Revolution but on my phone is much better then Simply Honey and Asgard.
Hmmm...... I gonna try and see if flashing full JVQ through odin without booloaders then flashing this after would fix some problems.

It should be compatible. Both are based off of JVQ so I don't see why not.

[Q] Galaxy S locking up, need battery pull and reboot

hey, so i don't know if this has been mentioned already (forgive me if it has), but my dad's Samsung Galaxy S keeps locking up (in sleep mode, and i can't wake it up) and requires a battery pull+reboot to get it working again. this happens randomly every few weeks, and it's really getting on my nerves.. it's running on MIUI, but i noticed this issue on all of the other ROMs i flashed on it, as well as on the stock ROM.
is there a fix for this? or am i the only one that has this issue?

did that... still does it D:
I would go trough 3-file odin flash with pit+partition to make sure, that everything is working properly. Maybe even trough JM9 (eclair) to some 2.2.1 (JSD maybe)...if GB features aren't needed.
Btw..you don't need to pull battery when bsod happens..just keep power button pressed for 10 seconds (it's little easier.. )

[ROM][PORT](9/6/11) Darkyrom 10.2 JVQ

Do I need to explain the rom for you guys?
Original thread
DO NOT FLASH FROM CM7 OR MIUI!
Installation:
-Flash an i9000 based gingerbread rom.
-Download the darkyrom configurator from market.
-Tap flash kernel, modem, and wipe
-Start the flashing.
-Enjoy
Features:
-Based off of darkyrom 10.2
-JVP bullet kernel
-KB5 modem
-fixed home haptic feedback
-fixed volume keys
-fixed softkeys
The bootanimation app DOES NOT work. Nothing's wrong with the rom. It's just that our kernel does not support it.
GPS is not present in this rom.
Flash roman's GPS fix to get GPS functionality: http://www.multiupload.com/7NTP7RTCO9
EDT tweaks app lockscreens are mislabeled.

Since Cmenard kinda took a break, I'm looking for someone that can develop a vibrant JVR kernel or someone that can teach me how. PM me if you know anyone that has kernel experience.
Hit thanks please.

Does this problem occur in JVP? Its been so long since ive been on a JVP rom. I found that JVP was the most stable out of all the gingerbread roms
Not a port guys ....this is how you install it. Look at the original thread and the instructions are there.
I meant like without doing all that confusing stuff

I felt JVP was the smoothest, and the only problem with JVP was the browser which isn't really that bad because it was still really usable.

Just flashed like a normal ROM without the Darky app and flashe from BiWinning a FroYo ROM and worked flawlessly.
Okay. Here I go. I ported from toxic hero darky 9.5 and worked okay.
Problems and concerns:
1) Computer voice saying welcome to darky's rom. Doesn't fit in well at the office.
2) Bootloader app doesn't work. Please let me know how I can custom change the bootscreen by going into the files.
3) Multicolored lines running across the screen after Vibrant bootscreen but before Galaxy S screen
4) This needs BLOATER app from old Darky roms!!!!!!
Otherwise I think it's perfect. unbelievably fast.

Do you have changing lockscreen issue using EDT's app where the lockscreen is not set right when you pick a specific lockscreen?
I flashed through CWM becasue Darky app doesn't work for me, I don't know what might be the cause ...
there is no darkyrom configurator on market. there is darky app but we need clear instructions coming from other gb roms. does it have worling gps fix?

I897 ROMs problem

With all the I897 roms im having a really annoying problem.
The phone powers off in the night, or after long periods of the screen powered off.
I can't even put an alarm because the phone is off after I wake up...
Im sure its not an app problem because it even happens on stock KJ3, and also not a problem of my.phone, because it doesn't happen in i9000 roms, or CM7.
Anyone else having this problem?

i897 GB Bootloaders, more specifically: OneClickI897UCKF1-bootloaders
I have had 2 or 3 sleep of deaths since running the KJ3 leak. ?? Maybe just a bug in the firmware, because I usually stay pretty close to stock, except for boog's kernel and dev launchers. Don't use widgets that much, etc.

Yeah I thought that it was probably my device but then I flashed i9000, CM7, MIUI, etc, and tested them all for a few days and none had the same problem.
I would use any of those but: MIUI and CM7 have bad battery life, and i9000 ROMs have that annoying charge bug. i897 have great battery life but it's really annoying that I can't use an alarm.
