[Q] unable to get data connection

Hi guys,
I'm being annoyed by my SGS about his data connection. Hope someone could help me!
Few days ago I flashed MIUI Mintberry 2.1.20 and everything was working like a charm, but this morning data connection switch failed several times.
I've tried to wipe everything, re-flash Mintberry and even to flash JVU stock with Odin, but I still can't switch on my data connection.
I can't even see any icon on the status bar.
Any idea? Is my phone broken?

Hmm this is strange, so you turned data on but theres no symbol, right? Have you tried installing another kernel (maybe also applying the Kernel Cleaning Script)?

I' ve tried everything with Odin, and at the moment I have a beautiful black screen of death.
Odin cannot recognize my phone... I'm very frustrated
EDIT: Upgrading Kies'drivers, I managed to connect the phone with Odin again, so I've flashed the lastest official stock firmware to check my antennas. In the worst case, I'll be able to go to the shop for assistance without problems.

Have u tried typin ur apn maually?

Sounds like a settings issue. Never heard of anyone have this problem before - I've flashed every version of mintberry including betas.

I just had this issue
I just had this and figured out what is wrong, its a easy fix too! Just go to settings and wireless and change the access point for your mobile connection. I had 2 access points and just switched it to the other one and my data started working again!
Hope I could help

Hi guys! thank you for all these answers!
I've tried to set APN manually, to change custom ROM and custom kernels and coming back to stock too, but still no data connection icon (neither data connection itself).
At the moment, I'm on JVO, the latest official italian firmware, everything is fine but 3g data connection.
Other ideas? Shall i need of Samsung customer service (I hope no!)?

Solved...
MIUI default settings fault: SMS notification has ran out my money and my provider has blocked 3g connection.
My phone is safe!

Wifi stuck at "obtaining IP address" - Stock LPY

I am on rooted stock LPY. I noticed that whenever I try to connect to wifi it says connecting then stuck at obtaining ip address and then disconnected. I have tried more than one router and I am getting the same results. I have googled this and one solution is to have a static ip address. The problem is that this setting is no longer available in ICS. Any idea how to fix this without wiping (I am too afraid to wipe given all the fuss about it).

Did you flash the LPY Rom with or without full wipe? That might be the cause.
You can flash a new modem and see if it's fixed. I can't think of anything else...

Experiment with frequency band under advanced wifi settings.

When i was on ICS i had the same issue.
This is what made it work for me:
- remove network from device, disable wifi and turn off device
- turn off internet modem(if you have any) and router, wait at least 2 min.
- turn on modem and router
- turn on device, enable wifi and connect to network
Hope it works out for you

Tried that and still it is not working. I guess I will pass on wifi for now.You said you have been on ICS, so how did you managed to revert back and what rom are using now. Thanks for the tip

With wifi disabled, if you have root, go to /data/misc/dhcp/ and delete all 3 files there.
I had problems on LPY where wifi would connect but ip address wouldn't get assigned.
Deleting the 3 files in /data/misc/dhcp/ fixed it for me. No probs since

Re-flash with wifi off, make the sincronization with google on 3g and then turn on wi-fi connection

Deleted the files as you suggested ( I had 4 instead of 3 ???) and still no luck. Thanks anyway

I gathered all my courage and flashed a pre rooted GBrom via pc Odin, no wipes, no cleaning, no nothing . once back on GB i only performed one hard reset and felt confident enough to flash CWM back on it. I would give you the link, but am on my phone right now and can't find it, but the rom is in Bodivas thread around here.
It worked out well for me, but as you probably know...no garantuees.
Btw, sorry to see your wifi still not working

Hmm. Those 3/4 files should get recreated if DHCP is working properly on your phone.
Perhaps you phone is missing stuff in /system/etc/dhcpcd/?
Another thing just popped into my mind - did you restore your Wifi Access point details via Titanium Backup? I think that may have been an issue for me too on LPY... don't restore is best.
Or just downgrade to GB, full wipe and flash LPF

Do you have soundhound or dolphin browser hd installed?
Sent from my GT-N7000 using xda premium

I'm on LPY too. When I'm at office I have no issues with wifi connection but when I'm back home I start to have issues. It shows connected and I get no error or disconnected messages what so ever. But device looses wifi connection short time after connected. I check wifi connection on laptop and there is no problem but on my Note even though it shows connected I have no connection. Turning wifi off/on fixes it sometimes but most if the time it doesn't.

Just flashed / rooted ZSLPF ICS following Dr. Ketan's guide and now I have wifi again . Having read so many posts about this, it would appear that the wifi issue has something to do with the CF-Root kerenal. Thanks buddy

That maybe is ROM issue! Just revert back to stock ROM using odin.

I just saw this post and thought I shoud help him even after two years passed.

Go to Settings >> Wireless and Networks >> Turn on WiFi
Long press on connected network >> Modify Network >> IP Settings>> Menu >> Static
Assign your IP address and leave other credentials as they are. Save settings and you are done.

Networks detected but will not register

So I had some escapades today, I had my SGS running jellybean, then I tried to change the screen density and bang, bootloop. I panicked and after some odin fiddling managed to get it booting Darky using odin. I was in a room with no signal at the time so I thought nothing of not having any signal, even so I then went ahead and used recovery to reinstall my Jellybean rom since that's a bit nicer than the 2.3 Darky.
Long and the short of it is, I can search for networks in my options and it will find them, but when I tell it to connect to one it says "Can't connect to this network right now. Try again later"
I have tried later and surprise surprise it didn't work. I have tried installing a different radio, clearing the dvalik cache and fixing permissions as well as a few other things. Please can anyone suggest something, this seems to be a very uncommon scenario and it's stressing me out that I can't find any solutions.

Yeah I've checked them and unfortunately they all seem to be in order still, though there are a lot more settings than any website offers things to put in them

same problem
i am having this same problem on all cyanogenmod 7,9,10. i have tried many radio and modem flashes. i can scan and see networks, but i can never connect to them.
have you made any progress?

Problem is EFS folder which tends to do with IMEI.
To fix it you need to copy the backup EFS folder from your SDCARD to the root of your device. (/)
If you don't have a backup you'll have to ODIN back to stock and re-root....etcetera

thx
thank you for the response. I put it back to stock lastnight before bed so i will give this a try.
i have the gti9000m from bell in canada. I updated it through kies to 2.3.3 gingerbread and it all went badly. It would boot up and load to the os be on for a bit then reset. It turned out to be wifi problem, running it on airplane mode stopped it from rebooting. Then if i tried to turn on wifi it would quickly reboot.
So then i tired all the cyanogenmods, which worked it stopped rebooting all the time. however the wifi would connect and work for about a minute then it would drop. doing the
1.turnOn gps
2.turnOn wifi
3. turnOff gps
this would let the wifi work again for about a minute. I tried all the wifi fixer apk, and a bunch of wifi.zip mods, and then ping the router gateway constantly, none solved this problem. Very annoying because i need the wifi working for develpoment of apps. I have spent a great many hours on this problem. lots of people seam to have this problem but no solutions have wokred for me.
So, my questions are....
1. does your wifi work?
2. how the heck do i get mine to work?

back to stock
After going back to stock then upgrading connecting to network operators is fine.
wifi is still broken though

WiFi problem

I was recently given a Galaxy Ace as I bricked my LG P920! When I connect it to my home Wifi, it works when for a few mins then puts the phone into a reboot loop and only stops when I disconnect the wifi. The phone seems to work fine at all other times including when on 3G. It's not the wifi as it works fine on the wife's HTC Incredible S. Phone has not been rooted. Does anyone have this issue or know how to resolve?
Thanks

I suggest rebooting into cwn and clear cache and then try again.

No luck with that, problem keeps re-occurring.

Flash Stock
Try Flashing Stock firmware with odin!

I guess you have stock.
There is a random wifi problem in stock which sometimes reboots the phone because the wifi driver breaks.
So try CyanogenMod and there wont be any problems!
Dont worry about rooting.
You wont brick your phone.
Only way to completely brick an Ace is to use Rom manager. So just dont use it!

Check for a software update on your phone. IT fixed The problem for me.
If that doesnt help set your wifi connection up with a static(?) Ip adres on your phone. Worked for me as well.
Sorry for my english
Good luck!

What version of android is installed? Best way to do an Official update is via Kies. If you get the same issue with kies as I have (Crashes on startup) use Odin or install a custom rom via CWM.
Also try changing the WiFi channel via your routers settings. (you never know, might work)

Wifi issues on CM9/CM10

Hi,
first of all I want to thank all of you pushing the SGS to the newest level of smartphone software.
Here is the problem:
I installed CM9 exactly as it was discribed in the tutorials. Everything is working fine, except the wifi module.
When the device is in the airplane mode and wlan is activated, there is no problem, but when I turn off the airplane mode and turn it on again after a short time, I get a reboot or the wlan settings screen freezes at "WLAN is activating", when I want to turn on WIFI again.
I tried all available kernels (devil, semaphore,...), tried TeamNyx RC5, tried CM10 and nothing improved this situation!
Flashing the JVU(or another stock Gingerbread) via Odin, I can use the WLAN correctly.
Thanks for your efforts!
EDIT:
I get the same problem on CM10
Using CM7 everything works perfect!
Please: If you got the same problem, answer to this thread!

Same here on Vibrant. CM9 and 10 only.
