Wifi Adhoc connection problem in X8i GingerDX v14 - XPERIA X8 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Hi, I installed GingerDX v14 7 days back into my Xperia X8i. This ROM is working fantastic and with all function. One problem I found that my phone can not connect with Adhoc Wifi connection with my laptop. When I try to connect the cell tries for 5 to 8 mins and reboots automatically. But with my Wifi router it has no problem. Can some one help me?

@Flypants101010 : yes sir, I also have stock kernel with GingerDX v14. Still now we dont have any option to solve. I searched forum for the solution but I didnt find any. If you get some I request you to remember me please and share.

i have an idea we could change the tiwlan.ini in /system/etc/wifi like in the mod for faster
wifi (N standard mod) it says that the mod enables n standard and wifi adhoc im going to try it!

i use gingerdx 017 and i had try your sugestion, i change to faster mode wifi (n standard mode), but the problem was not solved.

I think gingerDX not yet support wifi hotspot. Can try app like Barnacle from market (saw somewhere in this forumn work well, haven't tried yet).

Well you're luck cuz I don't have any wifi or bt now (after installing GDX v17)
anyway, if you want to connect your phone with laptop I can help there is app called connectify (it's cool really) give it try.
I hope I helped

guys, nothing helped me. the problem remains same. ugraded to v17

do a clean install make sure u do a full wipe and all your wifi problems and bluetooth problems should have disappeared ive never had any problems with wifi or bt when using the method i just told you

Even after clean install of GDx V019, then full wipe, X8 fails to connect to Ad-hoc N/w on my laptop. It fails to get the IP address. But there is absolutely no problem in connecting with wifi.

try connecting to other wifi networks ? maybe its your laptop ?

no dude, I also have exactly same problem as nima7 says. So both of our laptos have same problem?

Ad-hoc
I have same problem, phone reboot after screen timeout while connected to ad-hoc network but it doesn’t happen when I am charging my phone?? Any cure?

just installed gingerDX v021, and the problem goes on...
When connected with adhoc, when screen turns off, it reboot...
Any solutions?

AdHoc Problem
Hi,
I found out the solution, it worked gem for me. All new custom ROMs comes with Wifi N standard enabled and as per developers N standard does not support Adhoc connectivity. So simply we need to disable the N standard if you frequently use Adhoc or you don’t have N standard routers.
Follow this steps:
- Launch Root Explorer.
- go to: /system/etc and find a file named tiwlan.ini(Path for miniCM RC1 or CM6). For CM7 based ROMs the path may be /system/etc/wifi. And copy this file to SD card??
- Now copy(tiwlan.ini) file to your computer via USB cable. And open the file using Notepad.
- Look for these below mentioned lines and change them from 1 to 0 (use ctrl+f to search in notepad)
HT_Enable=1 ---> HT_Enable=0
BurstModeEnable = 1 ---> BurstModeEnable = 0
Single_Dual_Band_Solution = 1 ---> Single_Dual_Band_Solution = 0
(CAUTION: DO NOT CHANGE ANYTHING ELSE OR USE SPACE JUST REPLACE 1 WITH 0)
- Now copy the edited tiwlan.ini from your computer to your SD card, and then copy this to its original location by using root explorer with mount R/O enabled and replace the original file, and exit from root explorer without any further changes.
- Go to settings from menu and go to wireless & network>Wi-fi setting and clear all the network(SSID) name you used before by long pressing the name and then select forget network.
- Restart your phone and enjoy??
If useful pls hit the thanks button.

thanks dude worked charm for my friend x8

it worked for me after I unlocked my bootloader and flashed alfs 07 ics kernal and used gdx 22 and it works perfectly and better performance

Great to hear this some people successfully connected to Adhoc wifi.

It was a good advice at the time of the writing, but GingerDX v29 already contains these modifications.
I tried wifi hotspot function using two X8 phones, both running GingerDX v29. As I also had "error" always when I tried to start it. Interesting thought my X10 mini Pro (also running GingerDX v29) was working as a hotspot using the same menu item.
Then I realised what is written in the first post:
GingerDX v029 (29-09-2012) - huuuuuuuuge update:
Based on MiniCM shakira device tree
CM nightly dated on 28/09/2012
New devices officially supported from now (Xperia X10 Mini, Xperia X10 Mini Pro, Samsung Galaxy Ace GT-5830 - thanks to CallMeVentus)
Updated Google Play Store to 3.8.17
Removed Nemus Launcher
Added Holo Launcher 1.2.4
Added Google Authenticator
Spare Parts/Dev Tools
Ultra-brightness
Ultra-brightness power toggle
Native WiFi tethering (custom kernel only)
Click to expand...
Click to collapse
Which was the problem the X8's had. As custom kernels require unlocked bootloader and they should be produced before 11w29 as the guide says:
If your phone's manufacture date is 11W29 or PAST 11W29, DO NOT ATTEMPT TO UNLOCK YOUR BOOTLOADER. IT WILL MOST LIKELY RESULT IN A HARD BRICK

So this can also be the reason. HTH

Hi,
Try changing the default network for Internet connections...
Go to settings -> connections --> advance --> select networks --> Programs (...) Internet should connect using: My Work Network
Cheers,
David
Same Problem here.. i've just updated my diamond with the newest software release ( HTC_GER_2.03.407.2) from the HTC Website.
The Diamond detects the WLAN, and connects after entering the key.
But i think the main problem is that i cannot select anything under "connect with" when i'm in the network setup.. There's only a white box :-(
I attached a screenshot from an other user there it's ok..
In my case there's nothing to select under "Verbindet mit"

I experienced following :
If i set up the wlan connection directly after a hard reset it works !
The problem is the connection manager "Verbindungs-Setup" that starts automatically..
This first run autostart item asks for your network carrier.. after selecting and applying the selection this assistent overwrites the existing wlan bindings. After this no more binding to the wlan is possible.. And it don't works too if you first run the "Verbindungs-Setup" and then the WLAN Setup.. Even to create a connection manually with the "> connections --> advance --> select networks --> Programs (...) Internet should connect using: My Work Network" is not possible!
I stopped the assistend at first run and configured my MMS and UMTS setting manually.. WLAN works now!

You can make a backup of your ROM with SpriteBAckup, then HardReset and Restore the Backup with Merge Level 1 of Sprite Backup. The Internal strorage will not be deleted by a hard reset!
Comm Manager - seting - WIFI - 3-d page and slider to the left
The problem is in the ROM. I have this issue only if connecting to WiFi using WPA2-PSK (TKIP). All other protocols work. Upgrade your Diamond with any other ROM and it should work. I had problem with Dutty's v3.4 and also Nataly v2.0.1.

It is not the ROM issue.
I have the same problem. I updated the ROM, but the problem exists as before.
Sometimes my phone connects the internal modem and not my WiFi network, why?
Ps.: I am using WIFI router for internet (WPA-PSK [TKIP])

[Q] Problem with WIFI in my G1 "error"

Hi everyone,
I have problem with wifi in my G1.
I've been using Froyo by Laszlo Rom for last 1year.
Yesterday, I was change ROM to BananaBread 2.1
After installation I decided to change theme/colors.
When I was changing theme in MetaMorph phone was get a FC.
After that "settings" disappeared from menu list and from desktop.
then I flash ROM one more time.
Since that time, when I want to turn on my wifi there is: "turning on..."
after few seconds there is "error"
I can't turn on or connect (wifi)
Lets say, that after few hour I can turn on wifi for a while. -> scanning, but when I want to connect i get FC. after this i have "error" in wifi and can't turn on one more time.
operations which I've done:
-change rom (different, few times)
-change kernel (different, few times)
-change radio (different, few times)
-change recovery (different, few times)
-format and new partition sd
-new sd card (after format&partition -> new rom)
-wifi fix from market
-adb (all options, chown ect)
-remove wpa_supplicant.conf
I don't have more options.
Maybe You guys can help me ?
best,
Thomas
PS.
Sorry, for my english.
B
maybe you should just go to an altogether different rom?
havent tried out bananabread yet but sounds like if you want to stay with this rom you should try to post in the developers section and see if the dev can give you a fix
I've already wrote that I was changing rom's
I don't have bananabread now.
in every different rom wifi doesn't work. -> error.
chances are there is something wrong with your daughterboard then, thats the smaller board with the usb port. that is where the wifi is located

[Q] Wireless not working on CM9 Alpha 2 Help?

HI everyone, i'm a Noob here sooo here goes:
I don't know why - but I installed CM9 Alpha 2 on my HP Touchpad and my wireless was working at the time of installation. After using it for a while then turning it off, and on again the wireless stopped working. I can see the wireless signals but when i click to connect it says "Connecting" then back to the wireless name and never connects. It came back, stayed on for a while...then when i reset it again this time to see if it would go off again - it hasn't come back since.
My question: Does anyone know what is going on? Am i missing something or doing something?
Thank you
Im having the same problem...
nightly 3/17
FWIW I have had the same problem occasionally when installing different builds but what seems to help is going into the WebOs and turning the WiFi off then on and then rebooting into whatever Android version I was using at the time. There is also a long thread covering this in the development section with thoughts on how to fix the problem.

No, you've done well...wifi has been a persistent issue with almost everyone. There are several ways to go about resolving it.
1) (from terminal emulator): enter su (hit return) then type the following....
rm (space) -rf (space) /data/misc/wifi (space) && (space) reboot
(Or if that doesn't work...)
(from root explorer): access /data/misc/wifi folder then long press wpa supplicant folder and select delete...confirm delete and reboot
Either of those methods from #1 should allow you to restore wifi but you'll probably have to repeat the process upon each reboot/restart of your TP. A more permanent resolution has been proposed by #2 below.
2) You can also look up Rohan's Supreme Mods v 1.3 (for CM9 Alpha 2) and flash that zip file over your current rom, but be sure to reboot into recovery and make a Nandroid backup before flashing the mod package.
:[MODPACK][3/10][NEW]SUPREME Mods v1.3 [Faster, Smoother, Faster Wifi, Better Battery]
http://forum.xda-developers.com/show....php?t=1519161
Make sure you select the mod package that matches your current DPI setting of your Alpha 2 rom and follow his install instructions to the letter.
Good luck!
flash these drivers. should do the trick if you're having wifi issues with the disconnect reconnects.
http://rootzwiki.com/topic/18332-new-wifi-driver-ath6kl-from-compat-wireless/
download the file and flash via Clockworkmod, do a nandroid backup first just in case something goes rogue.
another quick fix, toggle airplane mode. usually gets you back going again. As for rohan's mods, try this first. His mods won't help if you can't keep a stable wifi connection.
I'm having this problem also. Very frustrating! I will try all of this tomorrow and report back. Thanks.

[Q] Issues with WIFI on Galaxy Note with ICS

Hi
I have got the stock ICS Galaxy DDLP4 (baseband version) for India installed. I had rooted the phone and then installed the Franco kernel v5.
The issue is that my WIFI does not work on the phone.
I have tried Wizdom13 kernel also but still the problem persist. Also I have updated the Franco kernel to v6 but it does not work.
Could somebody advise me on a Kernel which I could install to get the WIFI working.
Regards,
Rex
Requirements to Enable Ad-hoc on Samsung Galaxy Note:-
1. You Devices is already rooted .
2. Need Root Explorer, Purchased it from android market .
3. Download wpa_supplicant+Root Explorer from here and extract both files on a folder.
How to Enable Ad-hoc for Wireless Networks on Samsung Galaxy Note:-
The whole process is to replace the existing wpa_supplicant file to the downloaded file from steps 3. Now check in brief,
Step 1:- Send Both files (wpa_supplicant+Root Explorer) on your Device either bluetooth or USB cable. Step 2:- Now install Root Explorer.apk files and open it. Step 3:- Now Go to this path /system/bin/ and click on Mount R/O Button to change from Read Only Mode to Read Write Mode. Step 4:- Rename the wpa_supplicant to any new name and then move the new wpa_supplicant to same path(/system/bin/). Step 5:- Now adjust file permissions of new file to same Step 6:- Change the /System/bin/ mode to read only mode. Step 7:- Now Enable WiFi and connect your ad-hoc network like a normal wifi network.

Thanks for your help. I tried installing the other available kernel like abyss, wizdom13, lp6 and each time deleted the dalvik cache and now I have installed franco ver 6 and the wifi works as of now.

I am running the AT&T Galaxy Note with to official ICS update, rooted with BusyBox installed and I have tried the above method three times with no success; once the wpa_supplicant file is replaced, the wifi will not turn on (no error shown). Reverting back to the original file restores normal wifi operation.
I have hunted high and low for solutions to allow connections to Ad Hoc networks but have yet to find a solution. Even hunted down a copy of the "WiFi Ad Hoc Enabler" that was pulled from the Market (Developer is short on time these days I am guessing), and it does not work either, same results only easier to reverse.
I know the official AT&T/Samsung ICS update has only been out two days but I am still hoping someone finds the tweak/patch soon to allow connectitons to Ad Hoc networks.
Thanks for any help.
User firesg seems to have gotten ad hoc connections to work on his device (not a Note), by using the command wpa_cli. But as gnocchi_ny points out in the same thread: this command seems to be not available in the ICS update that Samsung sent out:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1427207
so... if anyone can tell me if (and how) I can get the wpa cli on my Note, I'd like to give it a shot....

WiFi connectivity problem

Hi,
I’m from Portugal and I’ve bought a Mi5 some days ago.
I have a problem for which I don’t find any solution.
The phone came with a modified fake ROM from the Chinese store but was working fine.
I unlocked the phone and installed TWRP to flash other ROMs. I flashed MIUI 8 global stable and a custom ROM from Xiaomi.eu without any problem.
Everything was working fine with the phone but I noticed that a lot of files from prior fake ROM (the one from the Chinese store) remained in the phone. So I decided to swipe everything in TWRP (including system and internal storage) and flashed MIUI Global Stable ROM again.
From this point, I never again been able to connect to a WiFi network and the 2G, 3G LTE connection became very weak and instable. The phone scan the wifi network available without problem, but after introducing the password, it tries to connect and just shows “Saved”.
I tried a lot of stuff. Static IP, reboot router, change router channel, change router security settings, flash different ROM, tweak build.prop file, but the problem persist.
In the phone test menu, when I try to connect to a WiFi I see that the phone scan, connect, disconnect, scan, connect, disconnect…
Any help?
Do you think it’s Hardware related issue? Or phone firmware and driver problem?
I’ll be very grateful for any assistance.
Hello
Yesterday I got the phone and I have exactly the same situation. Tried the same things, also flashing RR Nougat, RR Marshmallow, MIUI 7 and 8. Wifi isn't working in any situation. Did you solve it? Anyone have some ideas with it?
try another ROM
Just try the ROM "cm-13.0-20161211-NIGHTLY-gemini" .
My mi5 had the same problem when I got it, so I try unlock, bootloader, new cm14 rom, even went to change sim card, cause can't access 4G, still no luck. Then I backed to official ROM, factory reset, still have wifi and 4G problem. Finally after try the cm13 ROM, every thing became fine. It took me 5 days to resolved it.
FYI, mi5 's wifi signal strength is poor than others as so many complain you can see on the miui forum.
Tried that CM build, still nothing. I found in dev tools option to debug WIFI, and all the time I have RSSI of -127, even if I'm literally 1m from source (also I tried many sources). I'm out if ideas. Also It's not reception problem, because original ROM (like OP, probably fake global MIUI) had WIFI working just fine for me.
I have exactly the same situation.
I'll try the ROM "cm-13.0-20161211-NIGHTLY-gemini".
Thanks!!!

Hello friend, do you have the link for me to download this ROM?
Many thanks for helping.
I had the same problem, same symptoms.
I too flashed a new ROM and couldn't connect to any AP, I tried various ROMS, MIUI 7 & 8 and CM 13 & 14.1.
Though I think I found a solution (it worked for me ). I simply changed my MAC-adress and I was able to connect to my home WiFi.
I'm running CM 14.1-2016225-NIGHTLY-gemini on MI5.
This is what I did to fix my WiFi:
First prepare an new MAC-address. I personally don't know when a MAC-address is considered valid, so I just took one from an other device. I used the mac address of my previous mobile phone, which could connect to my router.
1. Disable WiFi.
3. Enable debugger settings (Setting>about Phone>Press build number repeatedly).
2. Enable root (Develepor settings>root access set to "Apps and ADB").
3. Open the file manager app.
4. Give the file manager app root access (menu>Settings(cog in lower left corner)>General settings>Access mode set this on "Root Access mode").
5. Now find the file root/etc/firmware/wlan/qca_cld/ and open wlan_mac.bin.
You should see something similar to:
Code:
Intf0MacAddress=XXXXXXXXXXXX
Intf1MacAddress=XXXXXXXXXXXX
END
6. Change the first to your new MAC-address, but first write down the old one, so you can change it back if this method doesn't work for you.
The last X of the next line should be a digit higher than the previous line. E.g:
Code:
Intf0MacAddress=957FDC328BF[B]4[/B]
Intf1MacAddress=957FDC328BF[B]5[/B]
END
(This MAC-address most likely won't work).
7. Save the file. You might need to press the save button a few times.
8. Check if the file has changed.
9. Check if you MAC-address has changed (Settings>WiFI>Configure-WIFI(cog in right upper corner)).
10. Enable WiFi.
I hope this works for everyone that has the same problem.

7. Save the file. You might need to press the save button a few times.
8. Check if the file has changed.
9. Check if you MAC-address has changed (Settings>WiFI>Configure-WIFI(cog in right upper corner)).
10. Enable WiFi.
I hope this works for everyone that has the same problem.

I'll try this procedure too, thank you very much Pekkuky.
I'll be back to talk if it fired, thanks for the help.
I tried to install the ROM that bajak85 suggested and it did not work for me, however I tried the procedure that pekkuky taught in ROM Xiaomi.eu 8.1.7.0 Nougat (ROM that bajak85 suggested) and it started to work, changing the MAC address worked for me too.
I did exactly as taught by Pekkuky and tried with another randomly generated MAC. That also worked.
Thank you all for the help and thank you very much Pekkuky, saved my life with this tip.

Hello, did you make sure that the MAC address was actually changed? In my case, a reboot was necessary for the modification to take effect.
I needed to forget the network and try again too, try this too, make sure the MAC has really changed and forget the wifi network and try again.
Good luck. :good::good:

Another thing that can help is to configure Static IP in the advanced settings of your network, have you tried this?

I had the same problem, same symptoms.
I too flashed a new ROM and couldn't connect to any AP, I tried various ROMS, MIUI 7 & 8 and CM 13 & 14.1.
Though I think I found a solution (it worked for me ). I simply changed my MAC-adress and I was able to connect to my home WiFi.
I'm running CM 14.1-2016225-NIGHTLY-gemini on MI5.
This is what I did to fix my WiFi:
First prepare an new MAC-address. I personally don't know when a MAC-address is considered valid, so I just took one from an other device. I used the mac address of my previous mobile phone, which could connect to my router.
1. Disable WiFi.
3. Enable debugger settings (Setting>about Phone>Press build number repeatedly).
2. Enable root (Develepor settings>root access set to "Apps and ADB").
3. Open the file manager app.
4. Give the file manager app root access (menu>Settings(cog in lower left corner)>General settings>Access mode set this on "Root Access mode").
5. Now find the file root/etc/firmware/wlan/qca_cld/ and open wlan_mac.bin.
You should see something similar to:
Code:
Intf0MacAddress=XXXXXXXXXXXX
Intf1MacAddress=XXXXXXXXXXXX
END
6. Change the first to your new MAC-address, but first write down the old one, so you can change it back if this method doesn't work for you.
The last X of the next line should be a digit higher than the previous line. E.g:
Code:
Intf0MacAddress=957FDC328BF[B]4[/B]
Intf1MacAddress=957FDC328BF[B]5[/B]
END
(This MAC-address most likely won't work).
7. Save the file. You might need to press the save button a few times.
8. Check if the file has changed.
9. Check if you MAC-address has changed (Settings>WiFI>Configure-WIFI(cog in right upper corner)).
10. Enable WiFi.
I hope this works for everyone that has the same problem.
