I just received this Samsung Captivate and it had problems of not being able to connect to Wifi. When I try enabling it, I get a message simply saying "Error". I've tried doing different things to fix it including FXR Wifi Fix and Rescue all to no avail.
I can connect to 3G...but I can't enable Wifi or get a MAC address or Bluetooth Address.
Suggestions?
EDIT: I'm on 2.3.7 CyanogenMod 7.1.0 currently but I also tried 2.1 and 2.2 stock.
Check all the advanced settings under wifi, check if it's set to use a proxy, and check the vpn stuff

Can't find anything on proxies in it, VPN has nothing in it enabled. This is on a fresh factory reset......of cyanogenmod 7.1.0
If it's just on your home wifi, try power cycling the router.

It's within the phone, for sure. When I try checking the enable wifi on settings, it just says Error.
I've tried it at my school, house and girlfriend's house.
Try completely reflashing cm7.

I've done so several times along with the stock 2.2 and 2.1 roms. No dice so far...
In that case, I would say it's a hardware problem.

I initially assumed so as well but I read the 3g wouldn't be working if that were the case.
Tried flashing a new modem?

Yes, just one though. I may try more later if nothing turns up. ROMs all come with different preinstalled modems anyway though, right?
Yes. Just to verify modem's ok, I would say try JK4. It works almost everywhere.

Still no luck
I'm out of ideas. If you still have a warranty, flash the stock firmware that came on your phone and raise hell with att to replace it.

If it boils down to that, I guess it's what I'll have to do. I would still prefer a fix though.

Please excuse if I am in the wrong section, but I cannot get past Setup Wizard after skipping Google login. I cannot connect to Wi-Fi. I am running a Nexus build based on a 2.1 ROM (Jroid's). I cannot go to home. What is going on?
You have to wait for wifi to turn on and if it keeps bringing you back to login after signing in you should reflash and wait for wifi to fully turn on.
Might wanna try another Eclair rom if you can get past sign-in.

Well everytime I wipe/reflash, same thing happens. Is there a way to get to Home via adb?

Dont think so, you should try another eclair to to be sure your wifi is working and you can skip the login.

Actually, I forgot to include the wifi and network stuff in the build.prop lol. But now I'm still stuck in Setup Wizard. D:
I have had a problem develop recently and I have not really changed anything that I can think of to cause this problem but my phone will not connect to wifi.
first of im on cm5.0.5.3, epe54b and im running launcher2... the problem is if i go to turn wifi on it just says "unable to start wifi" and I cannot check the box to turn it on...
now i could go back to one of my nandroids or reset everything but I dont really care to because I would rather figure out this problem as-is... any ideas?
I am wondering if a file got corrupted or something along the way, but more-less it was like one day it worked and the next day it said nope not gunna happen haha...
You need to copy in a compatible wifi driver to go with the new kernel.

If it happens again I would recommend reflashing Cyan's rom and then gapps addon. You can do that without wiping so it shouldn't affect anything. If i continues after that, you may have to wipe and install.

unplug the usb cable, reboot the phone.
(fyi, 3gs is an iphone, you mean 3g)
Thanks for the quock reply. I tried restarting the phone but it still not working..
What can be done to get 3g working?
Hmmm... I'd recommend loading a different modem or a different ROM. However, I'm not sure if I understood you correctly... can you make calls while on the stock ROM? If not, I'd return it to AT&T for an exchange.
Not working in stock too.. Will go to att store. Not sure they exchange the phone, but lets try with sim.

So you didn't have you sim card in did I read that correctly. If that is the case then yes you won't be able to do anything with the phone on the ATT network.
If that is not the case then yes I would look into returning it
I followed these steps and it worked fine now..

So I just flashed CM9 Nightly (07/30/12) and got everything up and running. However, the WiFi doesn't seem to want work. I click "on" and it switches to on for a second, then goes back to "off" whilst showing "Enabling WiFi". Ill upload a screenie later to elaborate. Im going to try reflashing tonight. Does this happen to anyone else and has anyone fixed it?
[EDIT]: Resolved.

Did you try to restart it? It happened to me and a simple restart did the trick. However I had to do it everytime I turn off the wifi and want to turn it back on though.

Yeah, I've tried restarting it, booting into WebOS then back to CM9, clearing Dalvik cache, all to no avail.

Try reflashing it with the following wipe routine: wipe cache, format system, and wipe dalvik cache. You might have to re flash gapps, but it should work. Good luck.
Try running FXR Wifi fix and rescue.
I'm in the same boat. I bought this thouchpadb when they had the firebstorm and never had issues till we had to switch routers from att. Funny thing is it would not work when I switched modems but worked after going back to old modem to test. After using the old modem I had to hook up the new modem because the old one looses connection. It worked for a week then started acting up again. It won't even connect in web os. It says authenticating , connecting but never does. I'm ready to eBay it qnd get a nexus 7 but will miss the size.

Hi all,
Lately, I ran into a problem with the stock Note 3. It can't automatic connect to wifi. I have to enter the the wifi password manually to connect. My phone is stock with 4.4,2. I have "Keep wifi on during sleep" set to always. I can't seem to figure out what's wrong with this phone. My other phone (S3) works fine when I switch to different wifi network.

There is a fix for it. You have to edit something on build.prop but I forgot edit what.
Just install a custom rom, they should already fixed the problem.
Thanks, found it right after posting.

I found the post referencing the build prop file you are referring to right after I posted this message. It worked like a charm. Thank you for the response though. May lead someone else to the answer.
