[Q] Wi-Fi Not Working Properly...

Hi Guys,
I'm experiencing a strange issue. The situation is as follows, I was running JP6 without issues and decided to try out some custom roms, so I followed the instructions and flashed DarKy's Rom (v6.0). The flash procedure went fine, the rom was installed without issues alongside CWM Recovery.
Since this flash my Wi-Fi on the device is no longer being used as an active connection on the phone. The phone scans the Wireless access point fine, it connects fine - Everything LOOKS normal - however no data is received on the phone. Every single data operation (market, web browser) just shows a no connection message!!
I asked in the Darky's rom thread and was told two things: 1) It is my router 2) This is a Kernel issue and to try alternative recovery/kernel and to try a wi-fi fix app.
I've tried to fix the issue and failed so far - I've even reset my router and re-configured it. I've now flashed stock JPY from SamsungFirmwares... Hence reverted everything and yet the Wi-Fi refuses to work!
Please assist if you can!! I can only think of: Could this be a channel issue? My router is set to auto channels and currently broadcasts on ch 1-3. Although I've only ever heard of channel problems when using > channel 10.
Secondly I've not tried this wi-fix fix app, I couldn't find it on the market. Can someone share?
PS: My previous post re this issue

I have used my desire to create portable hotspot to test the wi-fi and using another hotspot - the wi-fi works FINE!! I have a desire, a laptop, xtreamer and PVR connecting perfectly to this wireless N router. Moreover the router config hasn't been changed since flashing roms. It doesn't make sense!
I have checked the router logs - nothing is being blocked by the router - Quick System info pro also shows that once the connections is made to the home network - data is transferred, albeit a very small amount. I can't determine the cause of the issue? I did NOT wipe the internal/external cards between flashes, could there be redundant settings or config that the device is trying to use? I am at a loss.
This is a really bizzare problem. :s Looking forward to your input! From what I can see, this seems to be a config issue... but exactly where is escaping me!

Dont suppose you saved your original rom ??
Thats what i would be liiking to restore to the original rom that came with the phone and a full wipe .

[q] my phone will not boot confirm passward

i had miui rom and i wanted to chance it for darkys rom, i flashed the ficeto base rom and from then whenever i boot my phote tells me that i have to confirm a passward and shows me the keyboard, i have installed again and again different roms with the same result...what can i do?

Simple... ask darky or ficeto what the password is.
ive heard about some passwords being 'samfirmware' or 'samfirmware.com' but that might not be the password for you.

I'm having the same problem. I had to move back to CM7, because I can't get into any Samsung Gingerbread ROM now. I'm locked out of my own phone and I REALLY don't like it. WTF? Why is there a password on an ODIN ROM in the first place?

its stupid i know, but the biggest place to download firmware including gingerbread is www.samfirmware.com and the password for them firmwares are mentioned above.
have you tried them ?

I don't think you're seeing what I'm saying.... I flashed Ficeto's ODIN ROM from the Darkyy thread, and now I get this on bootup... I have never set a SIM password, phone password, or anything else. Also, none of the default passwords work. Also, flashing any other Gingerbread ROM, be it from ODIN or elsewhere... I get this screen no matter what. Froyo doesn't do this, and I can still use CM7.

I saw something like this the other day, sorry I dont have the thread link but it stated that you need to enter the wrong password several times. This will format your internal memory card but will give you access to your phone once more.
Like I said this is something I read and the comments stated it worked but I have not experienced this my self. Good luck

Thank you for the advise! I'll try it... what have I got to lose...lol. I'll just make a backup of my important info and let it format. I'll post back here in a bit with the results.

Password
I had the same problem, the password is the same password you had for your lock-screen. I had to use a password from like 5 rom flashes ago(its funny that it was still there after all that flashing).. Try all of your previous passwords, its one of them.
PS: even though you have have had used a pin password, it will still show the full keyboard screen so dont get confused by that.

you can also bypass this by getting it wrong a few times, but it will wipe all, and then boot

Successful root? Problems with Wireless tether

So it still hasn't hit me yet that my Vivid is unlocked...but it is! Awesome!
Any who I rooted the Vivid right afterwards using Superoneclick root/another program (involving Zergerush) and superuser is installed and able to give out permissions to certain apps.
I immediately installed SetCpu which seems to be working fine but when I tried installing Wireless tether/WiFi tether/Barnacle nothing would budge when trying to connect devices onto my phone.
Am I missing a step?
Others on the same boat?
Thanks for any input!
EDIT: The Binary updater seems to be outdated BUT it has problems updating..?

Did you reboot after rooting it,

Yes. I already rebooted the device but to no success with Wireless tether =/

An issue with SetCPU?
I know my phone lost all phone and data connectivity when I used SetCPU and had my LCD Density set to anything under 220...
maybe it's related.

i tried ALL of the wifi tether apk's and NONE of them would work.. ultimately i just installed a different kernel and rom so i could just use the native app instead. works great.
It was kind of discussed here already.. http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1415240

I'm in the same boat. Installed different versions of the Wireless Tether for Root. Though my computer can connect, there's no internet access and my phone doesn't recognize the computer as connected (doesn't show up on the access control page). Any help?

Your best bet would be to install a different ROM and kernel and use the built in tether. Works fine on the few different ROMs I've used.

I just read a post from another Vivid thread that Wifi tethering does not work on a Stock Rom even if you are rooted. Wonder why that is?

It's because the phone is still "stock". The ability to use tethering is something that is built into other ROMs. At least for the built in app, that is. Never tried any of the 3rd party apps.

Album update cannot be loaded

Update Center informs about the new version of Album.
But this cannot be loaded and installed.
What a cr..p.

And the Update Center doesn't work, it just doesn't load.

Version 5.4.A.0.20? I updated with no problems and have had it for a few days.
Try rebooting or just wait until later and try again. There may be an issue with the update servers.
That's assuming you were asking for assistance and not just complaining.

I'll try it again over the next few days. Maybe there really is some issue with the servers. Thanks for the advice!

That means there is just a server problem ATM.
Good that you confirm this.
Should be fine in the next days.

Download it from here https://mega.co.nz/#!lld0EKTC!52cXugQiViDRm8dVxFTP9t84N6s_52y5Fj0US07a8mE and install as a normal apk,works fine for me

Problems persists!

Perhaps you don't have enough free RAM....
Just joking, of course.
Have you tried rebooting, or clearing the cache of the Update Centre?
If that doesn't work, then there is probably an issue with the update server in your region and you will just have to keep checking. Don't I recall that you were unable to check for firmware updates for several days previously?

The problem with PCC was actually due to the change in PCC.
I had to switch USB mode to make the update happen.
Of course I performed the usual actions regarding problems with apps.
And YouTube works fine, thanks to .101 update

Then it seems the problem is not at your end.
The update centre was taking a long time to refresh for me earlier, but is now back to normal. Perhaps they're performing maintenance or upgrades.
Edit - And my YouTube app still works fine on 569.

Yes I think it's a Sony maintenance.
After complete app clearup it loads very slow and doesn't display album's upgrade pictures either.

And all is fine. It was server.
Now all is working.

[Q] Lost LTE

So basically I flashed the new version of benzo rom and lost my lte. I can only get 3g with Verizon and restoring/flashing other roms leads to the same problem. I had LTE prior to this. Everytime I try to manually adjust the apn settings they won't save and my new apn just disappears. Any ideas? Thanks

Right, but perhaps try the dialer code to re enable.

or reflashing the radio

Well I tried both suggestions and even unrooted and returned to stock. Still stuck on 3g. I'm starting to think it may be my sim card and it was just a coincidence.

I am in the same boat

try the fast boot command in the screenshot

I had the same problem earlier today. I reseated my SIM card and rebooted and it has been working since.

Update, in case you are still having this problem...
My previous "fix" (reseating the SIM card) didn't last very long and then I was back on 3G again. After several days of only 3G, I flashed the Verizon-specific version of the LMY47D radio found here...
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2969380 and it fixed everything. Had nothing but LTE for the past 12 hours and counting.
I bet that will fix your problem too.

I actually tried flashing verizon specific radios, restoring to stock, relocking the device. I went through everything I could think of and eventually getting a new sim for verizon yesterday worked. I am re rooting my device as we speak so I'll see if I possibly replicate the problem. I noticed what happened though prior to getting a new sim, any apn I chose never stuck and it kept forcing an apn that didn't enable lte.
