Milestone Wi-fi/3G connects but not send data

Hello there,
As a newcomer, I found out these foruns filled up with great information and guys willing to help, so came here to ask for some help ....I am both excited and dissapointed with my brand new Milestone. Bought the handset about 5 days ago, which came with Android 2.0. Then updated it straight away to version 2.1 via "Motorola Software Update". So far so good ...here´s the problem I am facing :
While connected to wi-fi or 3g(issue is easier to notice due to 3G icon at the task bar, which points out in those small arrows data that is being sent/received) phone stops to receive data out of the blue. All connectios are cut off(it also happens when the handset is locked up). Some basic trouble shooting i did:
- tested all pcs connected to the same wi-fi network. No issues detected for these
- reset wi-fi router configs. Didn´t work
- tried other wi-fi router. Presented same issue
- swapped another carrier chip to test 3g connection. Presented the same issue
- tested my GSM chip on ther phone. Worked properly
- Reset phone to default settings. This time the connection took longer to drop, like 30 minutes, instead of the usual 10 minutes. After the first drop, it´s started behaving the same way again.​
It seems pretty much that there an issue going on here (obvious...hehehe). I am considering the following:
- Might be a software issue. So, right now i am downgrading it back to 2.0 version, check if it works properly and then move to 2.1 hopping to get the issue fixed.
- Use retailer warranty and claim for a new phone =/​
Could you guys help me out ??
Thanks in advance and Best Regards !!!

Guys, after downgrading version to 2.0, phone stills presenting the same issue. I think it´s turning into hardware issue =/....does anyone have a clue about it?
Thanks and Best Regards!!!

[Q] Problem with WiFi

Hi!
I have a really weird problem with my SGS.
When I'm installing ANY firmware (I've tried every single one) except of my original FW "JPB", I can't get my WiFi working.
There are actually 2 types of Wifi behavior on the different ROMs. The first one is when you're connecting to the Wifi and you can actually open Google.com, Android Market, etc, normally. But when it comes to a "heavy" sites such as youtube, wifi connection just freezes and nothing helps before you'll close the browser and reconnect to the access point.
On some other roms you're connecting to Wifi without any errors too, but you can't actually open any site at all. And only on FW "JPB" (which is russian official) there is no such a problem.
Also Samsung Apps doesn't work on other ROMs, I even thought that it can be related somehow... I know that there's no logic here, so I'm really confused.
Oh, and even if I'm installing Voodoo lagfix on my official firmware I'm still getting into this trouble
I really want to hear your opinion, so please don't hesitate to reply.
Thanks in advance,
Jay

[Q] Yet Another wifi ICS issue

Hey peeps, ti me for my first post.
Well i upgraded tO stock germanICS a couple of days back. Everything was working fine until yesterday. WiFi is behaving weird, i can connect with no probs at home but i've noticed that the download arrow from the WiFi icon on status bar is on and off all the time, draining the battery faster than expected(e.g. rom 100% to 65% 3 hours almost no use). So i spoke with a friend of mine, kind of a geek, he told me it could be so me kind of compatibility issue between ICS and old router's firmware. So i went to a bar nearby to check if i could reproduce the same behaviour and everything was working normal.
Did Anyone here had anything similar? I've been surfing to do so me research, but all i've found is so me peoples probs with WiFi not connecting at all and some sII users withe their WiFi module broken.
Thanks in advance!

Also...
I´ve read somewhere that a factory wipe solved some wifi´s peoples probs. As i´m under german ICS LPY i know i´ll be likely bricking the note if i wipe, what leads to teh next question...is it possible to flash a kernell(without the bug) without being root?
Cheers,
VR
edit
So i´ve been reading quite some info about franco´s and speedmod´s kernels, and it´s so confusing for starters.My last question remains , is it possible to flash those for a non rooted device? Anyone that is running it tried wiping? Results?
Thx again
Edit 2
After some research i now know i need to root for any new kernel flash, as i read my post i´m starting to feel i´ve lost my head somewhere, so bear with me, hehehe. Also found out some people tried wiping with franco´s kernel with no probs, so i almost have the info i was looking for. So, in case i go root and get franco´s kernel up and running, do you think my WIFI issues might dissapear after wiping?

I have the same bug...with wifi also the os android buy draining ny battery so bad...im on stick rom gb 2.3.6 with the ssme oroblem....any solution?

[Q] CM11 WiFi Connection Issue

Hey guys! I have only just joined XDA Developers so please excuse me if I have posted this thread in the wrong area. I have a Samsung Galaxy S Advance (GT-I9070) running stock Jellybean firmware (4.1.2 ITV) but as you all know the stock firmware for this device is full of bugs and freezes often. I successfully rooted my device and installed Team Canjica's CM10.2 ROM (4.3) from the thread on XDA Developers but the WiFi wasn't working. I then installed Maclaw's CM11 ROM (KitKat) because I thought that might solve the issue but it didn't. Here are the details:
Device scans for nearby wireless routers.
I type in the password for my home router.
Device saves router. "Saved, Secured" message displayed.
I tap on my home router in the list to connect.
Device says "Connecting" for a couple of seconds and then goes back to saying "Saved, Secured".
I browsed through the forums and some users suggested switching WiFi Frequency to Auto and turning off WiFi Optimisation but neither of those methods worked for me. The ROM was installed successfully and all other features are working properly so I don't think that is the issue. And my router settings are also alright since I am able to connect to it from my Nexus 7 (2013) properly. Can someone please provide me with a working solution for this issue? I will start receiving very high data usage bills soon because my data plan isn't unlimited. Thank you!

Is your ssid hidden (not broadcasted) by any chance? i had those troubles on hidden home network. Sometimes it worked after a while, sometimes it didn't. What helped me is to broadcast ssid for a moment, get connected with phone, remove broadcast (it will reboot router so phone will lose wifi for a moment). Then somehow it got connected normally

I just checked my router settings and SSID Broadcast is enabled. I tried flashing OmniRom 4.3 thinking that this may be because of a problem with CyanogenMod but the problem still persists. Is there any additional kernel that I was supposed to install perhaps?

CyanogenMod 11 version ?

Just a detail to those who have not upgraded to JB stock and think it is impossible to use it without problems:
All bugs and freezes in Stock JB currently are perfectly finished.
I use STOCK, only with modified kernel (cocore 8.2) without freezes or bugs in months of use.
Enjoy the developer's work (cocafe), because without it JB probably would be impossible in SGA. However we have JB 100% functional and bug-free.
About KK and WIFI bugs:
The only KK (or based) ROM that used without WIFI bugs was RR 20140313.
In fact, the only issue is incall vol. in my experience.
WiFi Direct, Camera -> Panorama is laggy , Screen Recorder not working Not Tested
I also noticed that the battery is worse durability.
But I went back to JB Stock -- personal preference.

Actually I did try that method. Flashed Samsung's latest stock firmware I9070XXLQL (ITV) and then rooted and installed CoCore. To be honest overall performance was much better and UI smoothness was improved. But after a couple of days of regular usage with just a few basic applications such as a note taker, train arrival time, WhatsApp etc. the device started freezing up a couple of times a day again. I admit it worked much better than before but freezes and hangs were still quite frequent. Running OmniROM 4.3 now with no issues so far except for dialer FC, laggy panorama and non functional WiFi hotspot.

This means probably you have typed wrong password. Also check that in keyboard it capitalise first letter automatically. forget the network and connect again

WIFI not working with cm-11-20140521-UNOFFICIAL-janice and cm11.0_janice.nova.201406
Same wifi problem with cm-11-20140521-UNOFFICIAL-janice and cm11.0_janice.nova.20140601. Wifi not connecting even after giving the right password (used to work correctly with jb4.1.2 and still works with desktop) only showing saving and connecting wifi. Then the wifi connection is shown to be saved. If wifi does not work with cyanogenmod11, then what's the use of upgrading?
Is wifi is not working in any custom kitkat Rom?
Please suggest a solution.

Try couple times to connect. I remember sometimes I had to reconnect 2-3 times before it gets connection. And the problem with kernel was about WIFI not turning on at all, it was not even search SSIDs.

[Q] [Xperia V] [9.2.A.1.210] Unstable wifi

Hello,
I upgraded my phone to the unbranded/Nordic version (9.2.A.1.210) from the original 9.1.A.1.140.
While this brought many positives (support of BLE for my forerunner & good battery life), it also brought some negatives:
- A terrible clicking noise when the camera is auto-focusing (clearly a known bug in all JB version ...)
- A very unstable wifi
On this second issue, I have not seen any other report of the issue.
The symptoms are quite basic, after some time (around couple of hours), the phone will no longer associate with any wifi.
The only method I found was to enable/disable the airplane mode to restore normal wifi operation ...
I have installed wifi-fixer for having more details, since the wifi is looping on the association mode (could be authentication errors on these known network). Of course, all authentication info are correct as the phone will connect properly once going through the airplane mode ...
I also re-flash that firmware, from the .ftf but also forcing it from Sony SUS ...
At this point I reverted back to 4.1.2 as I'd rather have less features but reliable one (wifi is flawless now - well just as it should be ...)
Anyone else with the problem ? Any solution identified ?

Same problem Here
Would you please point me to the tutorials to get back my phone to 4.1.2, thank you?

Just follow the guide in the general section (i.e. retrieve the right .FTF file and use flashtool), this is very straightforward.

Tried with the ROM from Singapore, same issue ...
=> Association rejected on all known wifi
(using the power button to cycle the airplane mode restore the wifi for 10-15 mn)
Any advice on how to troubleshoot ?

Maybe it's your wifi that gives problem of compatibility when you're on 4.3
Try with another wifi if you can..
And try to change some settings of your current wifi like number of channel, kind of encryption, and so on..

In fact the problem is more complex as sometime my wifi appears to be ok but I do not have any connectivity ...
Now, I believe I found some interesting infos:
=> prb is directly tied with usage of Bluetooth (especially 4.0 BLE)
When the wifi is 'broken', disabling BT will indeed restore normal wifi operation ...
I could not notice the issue before since Android 4.1.2 do not support BLE ...
I've notice others thread reporting WIFI/BT issue (notably around support of smartwatch)
In my case, I'm trying to have my garmin GPS Watch to pair with the phone, this is were the prb can be easily reproduced

I have the same issue! That damned Association Reject!
I can confirm this is due to Sony 4.3 as Wi-Fi still work normally on my other 4.3+ devices (Nexus 7 2012, Galaxy Nexus)

Same here
i have tried numerous methods to fix this so far no luck..im on ub flashed 2 3 roms even stock rom with sus

One observation ...
This time, running stock .210 but not installing my BT4.0 Application (Garmin Connect), I only had the Wifi/BT issue once ...
I will install the application but not connect to my watch (Forerunner 620), to see where exactly is the breaking point.
After all these, I will certainly consider unlocking my bootloader and try the Omni ROM (as I see Walter79 is extremely active)
