Anyone out there with this issue? I have multiple wifi network profiles on my Tab for Home (2) and at Work (1). Out of these 3 profiles , 1 profile from home (wpa) and the other from work (802.1x EAP) will reboot the GT each time i turn on the wifi. The only way to stop this from happening is to remove these profiles. Not very productive but thats the only way to get rid of the booting. Anyone facing this issue ?

It just happened to me too. Got the Android panic screen.
Mine just reboots wo any panic icon
Re-flash with the latest firmware.
Dear zyborg, i am a complete noob in this area coming from the WM platform. Can u point me to the link on how to flash a GT rom? B4 i take the step to do that , i would like to try hard resetting first...which will totally remove the rooting and not just the privacy - return to factory default? Is there such a thing like that for android devices? TQ in advance
Reflashed at Samsung centre. Issue stil there.

Take it back as it sounds defective..
I have the same problem. Did you get it solved or is it a hardware error?
I couldnt prove it to Samsung when i was at the sevice centre because the reboot didnt hapen at their wifi router. I came to a conclusion that the problem only arises on certain profiles and certain wifi routers. Compatibility issues? So far my dlink router and corporate router, cisco is giving me this issue. I had another 7 inch tablet, CSL and i never faced such issues with the same settings

I found out that the reboot does not occur when i only have one wlan profile configured.
So i think it is an softwarebug. Do you agree?
Thanks!
Yes. I agree. Looks like its only u and me for the time being. Btw my rom is dxjj1. What is yours?

As i have baught my tab at Amazon, i have the possibility to change it on warranty for a new one. Maybe i will do this on next weekend.
I will keep you informed about my encounters.
Thanks lulatsch99. Would really like to know the outcome from yr side. Tomorrow i am getting a help from samsung tech guy to meet me at my office to test out his tab. Will try to simulate the same profiles to see if his machine boots too.

Hi,
today i got my brand new exange tab from Amazon. I tested it without installing any Apps.
The same reboot problem appeared. As soon as i had configured more than 1 wlan profile, the tab rebooted after switching off and on wlan. The same happens when i activate and deactivate the Offline modus.
This even happened when i had one profile for real and one dummy profile configured. After the reboot the wireless lan connection works fine until switching off and on wlan.
Both profiles i configured with wpa2 psk.
Now i really think this is a software/driver bug. Most of the tab users seam to have only one wlan profile, otherwise more people would have this problem.
Oh, i also contacted the german Samsung support. They never heard of this problem.
Please let me now if you got better results with or from the tech guy.
The tech guy from Samsung couldnt make it. Next schedule is next week. I am not too hopeful now since ur scenarrio proved its not hw related. Maybe Samsung in Germany and Malaysia should talk to each other. Thats provided the log down our issues in the database. Will update you once i get to test their units. I also tested that this problem will exist if one profile is on wpa while the other is on 802.x

I have the same issue. The tab also reboot eventhough I have only 1 wifi profile configured. I try "factory default" several times but issue still exist even no any app installed at all.
my version is also P1000DXJJ1.
After phone consult with local Samsung call center, they have never seen this problem.

Either Samsung is trying to cover up till the next major update or not enough ppl is having this problem to make it a major issue. May I know which country you are from ? I am from Malaysia. If we at the same location, then maybe we can go there together and make a point.
Ii finally met up with the Samsung tech guy today. Same issue with his TAB. So I guess its a bug with the software. He will feedback to Samsung and I guess all we can do is wait till the next official ROM to see if they have solved it. I will try the DXJK5 ROM later this week to see if the problem appears there.

Hi cmloo, I am from Thailand. I have posed on some thailand's user webbroad but no one has this issue. I recently not have this issue for 1 week also for normal use which not repeatly turning on/off wifi.
Thank you for your update.
@cmloo
I fully agree! Thanks for the upgrade!
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.

Hi,
I'm trying to find a P1000 Gingerbread ROM that will support Bluetooth keyboards and mice.
I'm currently running Overcome 4.10, and RedPill 2.00 kernel. With this combination and with the original Overcome kernel, I was able to pair with my Bluetooth keyboard, but, not connect to it.
From this post:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1502638
It seems like a 2.3.5 and a 2.3.6 kernel wont work properly with Bluetooth connections..
So is there still a stable, fast 2.3.4 ROM that supports Bluetooth keyboards and mice available? I don't even mind going back to stock, but, I can't seem to find one.
I'm on the Canadian Bell P1000.
Thanks!
I am on BOCA RC2 v2.0.8. I've tried a Logitech diNovo Mini keyboard/mouse combo on this ROM, and it first behaved as you say: paired bu not connected. It stayed the same when I selected it and tried to connect. However, I could use both the mouse and keyboard functionality in this state. Later, when I looked at it on the Blutooth settings page, I've seen that the state changed to "connected".

Hi vhallac,
Thanks for getting back to me.
I've read that in other threads as well, and I've tried it with Overcome, but it didn't seem to work for me.
Did you do anything else to get the keyboard/mouse to work? Or did you just wait a bit?
Thanks!

Nothing special. I got stuck on pairing a little until I figured out entering the PIN. Clicked the device, selected connect, and while it was trying to connect (which took a while), I got bored and moved the mouse, and I had a pointer on screen (while it was still reporting that it wanted to connect). I switched to an edit box and tried the keyboard, and it worked. When I got back to the settings screen, it reported that it was connected. Probably a refresh issue on the UI.
Out of curiosity, do you have the file /system/lib/bluez-plugin/input.so? I guess that's the library for handling HID.

Hi again,
Yup, I have the directory and the input.so file.
Hmm, well, I suspect that it's a bit flaky for 2.3.6.
Thanks for your help. I'm hoping someone might post link to a 2.3.4 ROM that might work properly. But few ROMs seem to keep the links to previous versions for some reason.
Thanks again for your help!

I am using a chinese BT keyboard with the Overcome 4.1.0 and it's working out of the box. I used to use a BT mouse as well, but that was with 4.0.0.
I don't know the exact problem you are getting. The only problem i got with keyboard was, when pairing, it asked to enter some digits in keyboard and press the enter key. But it gave me around 2 seconds to do that, failing which resulted in no pairing. So i just sped up my fingers and it paired and worked beautifully.
I can't verify more things now, as currently I am on CM9 ICS 4.0.4 build. Keyboard works fine here as well though.

Thanks for your input. I did get past entering the digits on the keyboard step, but, I still wasn't able to connect until I used the app in the previous post.
I use BT keyboard on CM9 ICS4.04, works smoothly from first connection. No need extra apps.
I also use BT keyboard AOKP ICS smoothly as well. You should try it.
I remember I was able to use the BT keyboard using AF redpill kernel, but NOT overcome kernel

Hi,
I can't get WiFi tethering to work on my device, even though the ROM specifications imply that it is compatible and tested to work.
Basically, the problem is that when I activate the WiFi tether, the process goes smoothly and it becomes active, but none of my devices can see the SSID of my X8. I tried to scan for it both with my laptop and the Xperia Arc S device, and wasn't able to find it, albeit my laptop on one occasion actually managed to see it and connect to it successfully. When I tried the next time, the X8 wasn't there anymore.
I tried both the Wireless tether for root users app, and Barnacle wifi tether. Both have the same issue. I've also tried rotating through the channels and adding encryptions.
ROM is FroyoPro v2.5 and kernel is stock. I've read somewhere that stock kernel doesn't support WiFi tethering, but keep in mind the creator of the ROM tested it on stock kernel successfully, and I actually managed to connect to the device on a single occasion. Something else must be the issue.
Anyone else with the same problem? And possibly a fix?
EDIT: I've read that most phones can't connect to your WiFi tether because it's ad hoc mode. Is that the case here? And if it is, is it possible to make our X8 broadcast in infrastructure mode?
Had a few more successful connections to the laptop. No luck so far on Xperia Arc S.
Same problem on GDX stock kernel

As far as I can see, an app called WiFi tether is the only one capable to set up an infrastructure mode, but your ROM and kernel must support it. Also, most phones support searching for infrastructure networks and don't support ad hoc at all. I can't unlock my bootloader so I can't investigate this any further.
For now, Barnacle wireless tether is the only one that works for me, probably because it supposedly loads its own drivers, and I can connect to my X8 only from a computer.
I'm really getting annoyed with the stock kernel. One day I'm going to get drunk somewhere, and when I come home I'm going to attempt to unlock it. I swear (11w41)

I did try that, and it doesn't work even though the fix for tethering is installed in v2.5. Also, another thing that is annoying with it is that I have to reboot after each use, or else normal wifi wouldn't work. Barnacle is the only thing that works at the moment.
Good morning everyone.
I'm looking for help from anyone who can help me.
I'm looking for a rom that works well wi-fi tethering.
Barnacle does not work for me on all roms I've tried.
I'm a little desperate.
I'm waiting for someone to help me .....
I've tried much more rom like JB and ICS, but nothing to do.......
At the start, it works well, very fast, but after 5 minutes the display goes black, the network is disconnected and no longer works.
HELP ME!!
Dear XDA HTC Desire C Users,
Let me start off by saying I know that this question has been asked before. I've lurked these forums since 2010, I've flashed many devices with many custom roms and kernels. I just want to know what the deal with CyanogenMod is.
I've recently come into possession of a HTC Desire C. It's a great little phone, not what I was expecting at all when I bought it off a bloke at work for £30. Started it up and it was bogged down with all the normal crap you get when someone has a lock stocked phone. Decided to check out XDA once again, and found that there was a port of my favourite rom; CyanogenMod.
I've previously used CM on my Galaxy Europa, Galaxy S 3, Galaxy S4, Nexus 7 and Xperia Play. Using my phone as a WiFi Hotspot/for Wifi Tethering (however you want to say it) was only ever a problem on the Xperia Play (and possibly the Nexus 7, I haven't actually tried). The checkbox would tick, the writing would say "Turning on wireless..." and then that would be it. It would never complete the action. USB tethering has never been an issue, and I never really needed wireless tethering until I got a Nexus 7 around Xmas. Funnily enough, my Xperia Play broke at the same time, and I went back to using the old Europa (CM7, working wifi tether).
Now I've loaded this Desire C up with CM10 with NOPE Kernel v2.6, tried this wifi fix that a lot of people seem to enjoy linking to (granted, it does make WiFi work, but not tethering). Some other suggestions were to use Barnacle WiFi Tethering app, but it creates an ad-hoc connection which a Nexus 7 can't connect to.
I guess it's really a few questions, which I can summarise here for those of you unwilling to read the above text :
- Why does CM have working WiFi hotspot/tether settings on most of my previous devices and not the HTC Desire C?
- Has anyone actually ever got their Desire C to tether with CM10 (any version for the HTC Desire C)? If so, how?
- Are all JellyBean roms having this issue?
- I've read that Sense based ROMs are the only ones that have functional wifi tethering settings. If so, that means I'd have to use an ICS ROM to be able to use wifi tethering?
- Am I doing something wrong? The past few years I've had to relearn how to do all this stuff to a different device each time, I may have missed something that's more prevalent to someone who is immersed in this regularly. My process was as follows -
1) Downloaded CM10 Build 3, TWRP 2.4.2.0, GApps & Nope Kernel v 2.6 (700mhz)
2) Flashed TWRP 2.4.2.0 as recovery (fastboot flash boot recovery.img)
3) Rebooted into Recovery
4) Backed up, wiped & flashed (Factory Reset, Cache, Dalvik, System)
5) Installed CM10 and Gapps (install .zip from sd)
6) Rebooted to Bootloader, flashed NOPE Kernel (fastboot flash boot boot.img)
7) Rebooted to Recovery, wiped Cache/Dalvik Cache
8) Started phone, set up, tried WiFi Tethering.....nothing happened.
As far as I can see, I've probably missed one detail that is affecting the entire process. I assumed that since this was cute_princes v3 marked as "wifi fix", that I wouldn't have to put the folder I linked to earlier onto my phone (the file contatining p2p_supplicant_overlay, wpa_supplicant and wpa_supplicant_overlay).
To confirm, I tried the boot.img that came with CM10, it was some form of Prometheus and that didn't work either. I have tried MiniCM10 as well, same results there. I have flashed NOPE Kernel v2.6 on both CM10 and MiniCM10, to no avail. I also tried the boot.img that was packed with MiniCM10, same result.
Sorry for the long post, but I feel that it's better to over-explain yourself, rather than leaving people guessing. If anyone could shed some light onto this, I'd be very grateful. It's something that made me curious enough to post after 4 years of silence and lurking in the background. The fact that I've managed to root and flash all the previous devices I've owned without ever having to make a post shows that all the information is available to me on this site, and that XDA is such a great place that this information is readily available for me. But in this case, I can't find what I need, so I call to you for help.
Thanks in advance,
Gordon Freeman

That's the answer that I hear the most, and I never hear anything more than that. What kind of bug prevents it on certain phones? Why do Sense roms (apparently) have working wifi hotspot?
All my other questions are still open, plus a lot more for discussion. I am only a couple of months away from buying a Nexus 5 anyway, but I need this phone to wifi hotspot in the meanwhile.
Sense ROMs have working Wi-Fi hotspot as they are sort of a modified stock ROM....

So you're saying that I have to use an Ice Cream Sandwich ROM if I want to be able to use wireless hotspot/tethering? I'm assuming that if there are no JellyBean ROMs that have working wifi tethering/hotspot, then it has something to do with the phones hardware being unable to work with a newer Android OS. But I'm pretty sure I've read people having success with tethering on JB ROMs.
Maybe someone could point me in the direction of having CM10/any JB ROM with working wifi hotspot/tethering, I'd be grateful.
THIS has been such a deal-breaker for me with the CM10 ROMs. But... Fear not!
The recent MiniCM10 by warrior1208 has fully functional USB and WiFi hotspot tethering! Yippeee! Definitely give the guy/girl credit.

Are you sure that wireless tether is working in Mini CM10? I've flashed this ROM with the provided boot .img and Nope 2.6, and tether did not work. I'm pretty sure I applied that Wifi Fix as well, and nothing seemed to work for me.
Is anyone using a Jellybean ROM with tethering working? I just need to replicate as many possible working combinations of ROM and kernels,so any suggestions of combos would be awesome.
I'm posting this message via WiFi Hotspot. MiniCM10 V3, N.O.P.E. v2.6 850Mhz. No wifi fix applied apart from the WiFi keepalive app (Enabled workaround 2, reselect Always On). USB tether works too, as I use it to install Arch Linux before setting up laptop wireless drivers.
I haven't tried V4 yet. I have a Desire C non-NFC.

Thank you for your contribution to the thread. I only have the latest MiniCM10 (V4), but I am also using Nope 2.6, just a lower frequency (700mhz, i have no need for a large OC). I've just clean flashed it back onto my Desire C, and the same results as before. Here are a few screenshots, sometimes screenshots help :

WiFi Working (Worked after turning it on then rebooted phone. WiFi was on once rebooted)
Wireless Tether NOT Working
On the last picture, if I back out into the previous menu then re-select to go back into the tethering sub-menu, the "Turning on WiFi..." message disappears and the checkbox is ticked, yet there is still no hotspot being produced.
So I must be doing something wrong still?
EDIT : So I've just flashed on the same kernel and CMMini version as you've said has worked for you. I've installed the "WiFi KeepAlive" app, but I am yet to launch it, as the description of the app (which is very vague) does not seem to mend the ailment that I am having.
I'm providing screenshots of the latest and current installation on my phone. I am not sure if anything in these is out of the ordinary, but maybe someone can tell me if I've done something wrong by looking at my "About Phone" section. Once again, I've provided screenshots of the wifi tether not turning on correctly :
About Phone 1 (Kernel and Baseband Version)
About Phone 2 (CM Version, Build Date and Build Number)
WiFi Tether (Unresponsive, stuck on screen until pressing Back)
WiFi Tether (Shows after exiting and entering again, produces no hotspot visible to other devices)
Working WiFi (After switching on then rebooting, wifi becomes available, but no hotspot)
So if anyone has anything to add, I'd be grateful once more.
Thanks
So after messing around for a while, I've managed to make a slight amount of progress. I feel like I'm almost there now.
I renamed my hotspot "testet" (meant to type "tested", never changed it) and set up WiFi KeepAlive. Using Workaround 2 and Always Keep Wifi On, I managed to get my Nexus 7 to see the hotspot. That's as far as I got, as trying to connect breeds a varying set of results. Whilst it can see the hotspot, it can never fully authenticate. It will hover on "Obtaining IP Address..." and "Authenticating..." before giving me "Saved, secured with WPA2" but not actually connecting to the Internet, or it will say "Avoided poor Internet connection" (or something to that effect). It's frustrating being so close, yet so far. Here are some more screenshots to demonstrate my finds :
Nexus 7 Wifi Screenshots (Various)
The "Turning on Wifi" thing disappeared on my phone and gave me a solid checkbox ticked for once, without having to back out then back in to the menu
See the edit to my previous post to get up to speed on where I am with kernels/ROMs installed.
Thanks again.
So I guess that no one really has any clue about this? Out of the +1,000 views of this thread, only a couple of people could actually contribute?
@warrior1208 , you ported this version of CyanogenMod, and you seemed to think that wifi tether works. Maybe you could shed some light on what I might be doing wrong? I won't have answers such as "It's a known bug", you've pulled the ROM apart and put it back together again, surely you must have some idea about what's going on? I will try to help as much as I can.
@beanaroo have you seen my responses? I have replicated the same setup as you, and had no success at getting this to work. Since you have confirmed that it works, maybe you could give me some advice on what I may be doing wrong?
Failing that, recommend me a JellyBean ROM for this troublesome little phone that has wireless tethering working. I know the common response would be "look through them yourself", but obviously some ROMs claim to have working wifi tether and they do not seem to work when I try them, so if I could get a recommendation then I wouldn't have to trawl through all the "broken" ones and find one that actually works.
No offence to anyones ROMs, it's just that wifi tether is paramount in my use of a phone, and I really wouldn't like to go back to the childish looking ICS ROMs. I don't want to discard this phone either, it's a nifty little thing and I'm quite fond of it.
Thanks again,
Gordon Freeman

USB Tethering works flawlessly on MINICM10, whereas, for a working wifi hotspot(which is a CYANOGENMOD BUG), we would have to correct the wifi hotspot modules in the github source, and then produce a new build...
So, since we are not working for achieving that, we would never get wifi hotspot on aosp cm based roms...
I hope this information may clear up your doubts...
Here is a screenshot to prove that usb tether works in my ROM...
Unless someone makes a new build WiFi hotspot won't work and since most of the developers are now focusing on building cm11, it is highly unlikely that someone will create a cm10 build 4. You could try using Bluetooth hotspot as an alternative maybe?

I have been using Bluetooth tethering, but it's far from what I require. It's quite slow, and Bluetooth drains battery pretty quick. The range is also very limited. Fair enough, I keep hearing the same "it's a known bug in CM10", so what about JB ROMs that aren't made from CM10?

I'm fully aware that USB Tethering works on your build, if you had read any of my posts you'd realise that I already knew that. There was never a dispute as to whether USB Tethering was working. My problem is that @beanaroo claims that he has WiFi Tethering working with your ROM, and you seemed to acknowledge the fact that he had it working. So how can one user make something work that you (the builder of this ROM) claim doesn't work? Unless he is lying, then it must work?
So, other JB ROM alternatives to CM10 then?
EDIT : @warrior1208 I just noticed that your screenshot of your phone shows that Portable WiFi Hotspot is ticked. I know you can select it, go back in the menu and then go forwards again and it remains a solid tick, but why would you include that if you just admitted that it doesn't work? Strange.
Since the only source built jb ROM is cm10, all other ROMs are ported using cm10. That's why the bugs of cm10 are there in every ROM. If someone fixes the tethering and makes a patch or something then it would work. But so far no one has really taken it onto themselves to fix the bug..... So maybe if you could do something......

Point me in the direction of a ROM building tutorial and I'll happily try my hardest to get it working. I'm not a pro in this kind of thing, but I've been using computers for a couple of decades now so I'm sure I could give it a try. Plus it gives me a reason to get into Android development, as I love Android. I'm totally willing to put some effort into fixing this issue, even if it's just for me. If you could give me pointers on where to look, then I'll give it a shot, although if the CM guys can't do it then I really doubt I'll have a chance.
After all of this, I'm guessing that @beanaroo was lying about his ability to wifi tether on this ROM then?

I never mentioned that wifi hotspot works in my ROM...You may ask @beanaroo how he got that working...and yes I was trying in my screenshot to make hotspot stable...But it won't work in any of the Jelly Bean ROMs...So if you want it, you may revert back to a sense ROM as, the sense roms are based on stock rom and hence have everything working...Whereas, all the JB roms for our device have been ported taking cm 10 build 3 as base...I hope this clears up your doubt that YOU CANNOT USE WIFI HOTSPOT ON ANY JELLY BEAN ROM, REVERT BACK TO STOCK OR SENSE BASED ROMS FOR ACHIEVING THAT
You can Google up a 'how to build a ROM from source guide' there are plenty of good ones.

Well I've started looking into some guides now, and once I've installed Ubuntu I'll see what I can do. I think I made some progress, I managed to get the phone to broadcast a signal, there was just a problem with authenticating when connecting. I think once I manage to work out what that problem was, I could make a bit of progress.
In the mean time, I've downloaded a few Sense ROMs which I'll be flashing on to the Desire C until I buy my Nexus 5 next week, which means I'll have the Desire C available for multiple flashes and messing around without having to put my phone out of action for a long time.
Anyway, thanks for the (limited) help. I realised about halfway through that no one really cares enough to try and make it work, I thought people would be up for a crack at this. The lack of enthusiasm was probably down to people not fully reading my posts and checking out all the info I provided, but that's fine. If I get anywhere, I'll let you know.
