[Q][I9001] Wifi problem? - Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Hi, I have strange problem with wifi. When I bought my phone everything was fine, but then I started to test new roms. The problem is - wifi is disconnecting for like 5 seconds and then reconnects. I've tried these roms: broodrom rc4, rc5, simplistic v2, cranium rc8 and moonrom 4.2. The last one has app called "FXR WiFi fixer" which is supposed to fix my problem, but it doesn't help at all. Funny thing is my brother has the same phone and he doesn't have this problem (simplistic v2).
Any ideas? tia.

Did you installed the roms via ODIN or feamod ? Did you do a full wipe before and after installing each rom ? Which kernel did you use ?
I would try with a stock rom such as KQ1 or KQE... (I think wifi works well on both) and check wifi there...

urruxi, every rom I installed, I made it via cwm, some of them were flashable zips, some of them were as a backup.
Kernel is "SkyHigh", should I change it?
I will download stock rom tomorrow and check it.
evilken9555, I changed it too, but it didn't solved my problem.
Wi-fi reconnects me every ~10 minutes, so its a kernel or a rom issue.
Thanks.

I've tried another one custom rom, QK7 and QK1.
I'm doing a factory reset after installing new rom.
Should I try QKE?

I found out something helpful. I set wpa2 psk password on my router, and it doesn't kick me anymore. It doesn't solve my problem at all, but its just easier

[ROM][BUG]ROM to determine the origin of SoDs bug present on Zeus ROM...

First of all, I expect that mrs. reinbeau doesn't close this post, I feel it necessary in order to solve the main problem of my ROM.
This post is intended to all of you that have the problems so called SoD (Screen of Death), when the phone sleeps but don't awake... and the frozen screen problems too...
It's a new ROM progressively created from scratch in order to determine where is the problem.
Please, use it and comment here if the SoD issues are gone or remains; everything you want to say but ONLY RELATED TO THIS PROBLEM.
The instructions are easy:
- If you come from Test 2, or Test 2.1, simply flash Zeus v5 Lite over it. It won't wipe your data.
- Otherwise, make a wipe data / factory reset before flashing Zeus v5 Lite
- AFTER INSTALL IT, IN BOTH CASES, FORMAT /CACHE (--> mounts and storage --> format /cache).
- Once you have Zeus v5 lite, directly flash Zeus v5.03 over it.
- Zeus Test 2 (full wipe, complete ROM): d7fc02c423df42ecbdc4a9a2a0f7255c - Mirror
- Zeus Test 2.1 (dalvik and cache wipe, complete ROM): a3c20899db2d59e09fab60dd6aeb6094 - Mirror
- Zeus v5 Lite (dalvik and cache wipe, complete ROM): c55155a8aac4e5300b8239c08e739bd6 - Mirror
- Zeus v5.01 Lite (dalvik and cache wipe, update to Zeus v5 lite): 9a2907c9aec64857495fec093495afd1 - Mirror
- Zeus v5.02 Lite (dalvik and cache wipe, update to Zeus v5 lite): eee81e29f285d261fe442a370bb4dffb - Mirror
- Zeus v5.03 Lite (dalvik and cache wipe, update to Zeus v5 lite): f52fc7b9c2534da91c09f937c13b13f5 - Mirror
Changelog:
Test 2: Initial base ROM lightwighted, with original kernel and some opts.
Test 2.1: Fully themed Test 2, additional cleaning and some opts.
Zeus 5 lite: Prerelease, test it please... It has a lite zeus script, txpower, some opts, new Google Play Store...
Zeus 5.01 lite: To flash over Zeus 5 lite. Stock kernel recompiled with Linaro (unaltered, with stock configuration), with a new runtime parameter to enable/disable led dimming (thanks to sergey1369) and with led supply current reduced in a 20% to save battery. Updated zeus script with options to enable/disable led dimming and to change lockscreen. Fixes symlink to 'cp' busybox command.
Zeus 5.02 lite: To flash over Zeus 5 or 5.01 lite. Same features as 5.01 + cache again with ext4, new optimized mount options and fixed the auto enable/disable dimming at boot.
Zeus 5.03 lite: To flash over Zeus 5, 5.01 or 5.02 lite. Same features as 5.02 + new governors(interactiveX, Smartass2 and OndemandX[default]) + deadline + total control of the leds (high intensity, low intensity, enable/disable dim, timer) + txpower stock by default (touch it if you want) + runtime enable/disable fsync() enabled by default + upgraded zeus script... look into it!
Regards and thanks!
About 12 hours with your fix and everything is OK. I have v3.2b.

Hi,
forgot the last fix posted on the other post... this is a new fix. Although you don't have problems with the oder fix, there supossedly are people that have problems...
Regards.
Now I have a worst problem: after the SoD, I did try to restart the phone by pulling out the battery and now it doesn't want to start again! When I push the ON/OFF button, the 4 leds start to blink but the screen remains in black (not off, is there a difference).
Then after 5 or 6 tries, it start and show me the CWM menu, I did apply your fix and still the same thing (doesn't want to pass from the LG logo, and sometimes even doesn't show the LG logo!).
What do you think is happening? I think is something related to the Graphics driver, maybe something changed in the Kernel to give more graphics performance or something, I really don't know...

Hi,
if i have readed well, first you have the problem, and after that you have flashed my fix, isn't it?
Maybe you have any corrupted at /system, and the fix doesn't fix a ROM, only change certain things in the ROM to look for the SoD problem.
Try to flash V3x, then V3.2x and then the FIX 1.
Regards.
And no, there's no strange changes to kernel to boost anything that can harm your phone.
Regards.

Ok, I'm going to try this again from scratch.
Another important thing: I was having the same problem since V2, then I flashed V3 and it was gone by 2 or 3 days, then, yesterday my phone restarts itself and after that is a chaos hehehe
If is not something related to the graphics, then maybe is something related with the way your version commit data in the memory and maybe there is a data corruption that makes the phone behave weirdly.
Anyway, thanks a lot for your big effort, I regained the thrust in my phone after testing your zeus rom (i was just to sell the black and buy a Nexus hehehe).
Regards!

Everyone can do what he want! The "old" fix was a quick attempt to fix the problem. While you don't have the problem, don't try this stuff becuase it's intented to catch the problem; no problem -> no catch...
Someone said that with the "old" fix the problem persists, so I have created this post to progressively approach the problem to know where is it, and then erradicate it!
- If people try this fix and the problem persists, it will be at the ROM itself, not in the kernel/boot.img/build.prop -> then we'll try to find it on the ROM.
- If people try the fix and the problem is gone, the problem is at my latest kernel/boot.img/build.prop, so I'll change progressively that stuff until we get the error again...
There's no other way IMHO.
Regards.
already activated fsyn and flahs ur fix, I ll give my feedback in a few hours, just let my try...
With my fix (THIS FIX, ON FIRST POST) there's no possibility of deactivate fsync because it's a diana kernel feature and wiht my fix you will have the stock kernel...
Thanks!
First of all, I'm not using this rom, I'm using cm7 temasek's build BUT I think somehow is related because this "SoD" is happening at the new builds...
And I wonder why? well I don't know but, it may be something with the rom itself?
Zeus is "official" and cm7 is "mod" but they're both based on gingerbread so there must be some connection.
I'm not trying to complicate things but trying to help, because this is not an isolated issue from zeus, this is present at cm7 new builds too.
Sorry but is not the same IMHO...
- CM7 are constantly changing and for whatever reason the most recent builds have this problem. So, different builds...
- my rom comes from stock rom (that doesn't have the problem, or that's what we hope...) and in a certain moment with some modification (of my own) the problem has emerged, WITH THE SAME BUILD.
When I find my problem, I hope it can allow cm7 people to fix the problem, but I'm afraid there are a lot of reasons why it can happen.
This thread is to test my rom with different things trying to find the bad change made to my rom, not a thread to discuss about Screen of Death.
Thanks anyway.
Hi Huexx!
First of all thank you for your patience and for your excelent work whith this phone.
About all this things of SoD, I whant to ask you something: have you ever faced it?
I don't know but I'am using your Rom since first and have installed the 3.0 then the 3.1 and then the 3.2, and I have never faced the SoD. How offten are this SoD's happening?
I'am using interactivex whit deadline and Fsync enabled.
I also never faced this SoD with your ROM (3.0n) and I'm using it for a while now. I skiped 3.1 patch and installed 3.2 yesterday and no SoD. But with cm7 I had this once don't know what version.
On the other hand a colleague at work have this issue with 3.1n a few days after install. I installed the 3.2n and we'll see.
yesterday I got 2 frozeen displays and have to remove battery,
Today (like about 5 hours ago) flash this fix and until now I dont have that problem at all... I just want to give my feedback, but I ll post again 5 hours later to say if donst get the problem again.
Sry about my pretty bad english.

are u sure that there are all properly working tweaks?
Can you try to use original kernels and roms and check GPS?
Are u trying use GPS module at home? there are a lot of factors which can reduce GPS module.
I tried it with many different roms like rocket and criskelo.
currently using this one
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1416192
with abyss kernel 4 and as you see in the picture it keeps looking like this without any result sometimes and sometimes there will be few sats but connection will not be continuing
and I tried to connect the GPS in many different locations outdoor In my car..
is it possible to flash a stock kernel and keeping root with cwm in the device?
and from where I can download that?
I'm just wondering is it possible that because of la6 is not the proper rom for my region the GPS won't work probably and how to fix that?

Im using Rocket with Abbyss, it seems to be OK..in Russia i mean.
u can use rooted kernel without any customizations.
Im sorry but i can give u more information between regions differencies. Try to use original rom with original kernel and phone options for ur location(region). And check if it helps. if so, try to use customized tools for ur region.
Go to the chainfire kernel thread in the note development section. There are all the samsung galaxy note kernel versions, added with root and clockworkmod. Thats what u need to flash whatever you like.

can't use wifi tethering and data at the same time

this problem is found since i flashed ics rom
i used to be rocket rom user, everything works great with r rom v22
then i started to use ics, also started to face the problem
the first ics rom i flashed is midtone2.0, everything is fine but the tethering
when data is in use, the tethering will turn off automatically and immediatly each time i turn it on.
however, when i turn off data...tethering runs normally, but it s useless as no network function...
then i reinstall the rom, but nothing changes
few days after i flashed the team rokcket rom, thought i could solve this issue
however it is still the same
then i restored the rocket rom, then the tethering works fine again with data in use
i repeated flashing ics and restoring and wiping and blah blah blah...nothing takes effect
team rocket rom: same problem
midtone2.0 :same problem
chain fire ics repack: same problem
i've go through a lot of threads but didnt find a solution...anyone got an idea?
sorry for my poor eng

All the ROMs u have tried with is based on Chinese leak i9220. So still the ROM is in Beta Stage and need to fix lot of bugs in it. you should wait for proper N7000 leak which is going to be out in next few days.
yes...but just feel so strange as it seems like i'm the only one facing this issue...
i 'll will try other ics leak from other countries then, hope it helps

Also, does anyone have a problem with tethering via usb?

[Q]GPS problem

I am using the Dark Knight 5.5 ROM with the Devil2_0.94 kernel. I enjoy it but it has a few fatal issues for me:
The GPS doesn't work. At all. I tried A Darky's ROM and it didn't work there either. Tried a lot of GPS-fixing apps. Still no luck. Any tips?
If these issue are unfixable, I would like to ask you guys for a ROM that is smooth, stable and on which everything works. Could be GB or ICS (I would prefer ICS).
Thanks in advance
try again to reinstall this ROM.
I have the big problem with the sound. It doesn't work!!! I always have Silence mode for ringtone and alarm. If i choose the any sound, it works, but after the reboot nothing.
I try to use external software for example Rings Extended but nothing.

If these issues are unfixable, I would like to ask you guys for a ROM that is smooth, stable and on which almost everything works. Could be GB or ICS (I would prefer ICS).

I tried it but I don't like...
This is how I always trouble-shoot my GPS problems.
1. make sure gps.conf ntp server is changed to match your country.
2. try a few different modems.
3. turn gps off then on in each test. sometimes my GPS doesn't work first time (in this case there will be no sats showing in gpstest)
Make sure you are in a open area and use angrygps or gpstest to see how many sats you are getting and whether they are locking.
When I flashed ICS I couldn't get any lock until I changed modem (currently using JV5 from the latest JW6 rom. But I also got it to work fine with JVU.
Got bad GPS experience with GB and ICS. With ICS there was almost no sats visible (tried CM9 based ROMs TWICS and Remics-UX). I got best results with Darky ROM 9.5.

[q] cm 10.2 wi-fi doesn't work

Hello,
I'm a newbie on rom flashing etc...
and recently I tried to update my Galaxy Note N7000 using this ROM : cm-10.2-20131108-NIGHTLY-n7000
and the wifi started to get crazy.
I experienced connexion issue.
WIFI was disconnected sudently, then I tried to revert to Stable version of Cyanogen mod 10.1
but wifi was off.
I tried to flash using different stock rom :
N7000XXLT9_N7000XXLT3_N7000OXXLT3
N7000XXLTA_N7000XXLT4_N7000VD2LT4
N7000XXLSZ_N7000XEFLS4_XEF
N7000XXLC1_N7000OXALC1_OXA
N7000XXLRI_N7000XEFLP2_XEF
and sometimes I don't knwo why or how the wifi cams back (not always even installing the same stock rom), but with connexion issues.
using this sequence I can get wifi connexion sometimes...
install :
1 - N7000XXLSZ_N7000XEFLS4_XEF
2 - philz kernel LSZ
3 - N7000XXLTA_N7000XXLT4_N7000VD2LT4
4 - Philz Kernel LTA
5 - XEU-N7000XXLT9-20130611091825
5 - Philz Kernel LT9
6 - Rom Radio XXLSC
7 - Kernel : speedmod-kernel-n7000-jb-k5-5-CWM
sometimes the wifi is not recognized, and the mac address is empty.
I'm bit lost, and I would like to know how to revert to a stable situation.
maybe this is due to the kernel.
I'm using Philz kernels aligned with the rom.
Hello,
back after many hours spent yesterday evening playing with different ROMs, Kernels.
in fact I'm currently using my phone as a tablet, without SIM card in it.
and it seems mandatory at least once to put a valid sim card in it.
I tried to put a valid SIM card with 3G data connexion,
no issue with the wifi during 3hours.
shutdown thephone
then remove the SIM and power on the Phone
miracle the phone connect on the wifi without issue!
so it is good to know that SAMSUNG Galaxy note requires at least once to connect on mobile data network.
