WIFI ERROR \ Turnning on \ Wifi Goes To Grey

Hello Everybody ... Am a new member to Xda site but i learned alot through reading your posts long time ago...
anyway here is my problem MY GALAXY NOTE GTN7000 Wifi Is not Working....
Details: I Had The phone since febraury 2012 and it was GB 2.3.6
i Updated to I.C.S 4.0.3 Official Rom and rooted it in july 2012
suddenly in august 2012 the problem started to appear ((( Am Writing Dates so To Avoid the Possibility of Hard Brick or anything because the phone was working great till then )))
THE PROBLEM
1-When I Try To Open Wifi It just Lag and stop responding The ICON GOES TO GREY INSTEAD OF GREEN and stays like that till Reboot and some times stays grey after Reboot
2- when opening wifi from settings tab it says "Turning On Wifi " and stays like that Forever
3- the only Way To restore the wifi icon to white is trying to activate WIFI - Direct
4- Rebooting Used to fix the problem but now NOT
5- Removing the battery Used to fix the problem But NOW NOT
Fixes I Tried
1- Restore Factory Setting & Wipe Cache & Wipe Everything
2- Changing the Rom from (I.C.S 4.0.3 )to (GB 2.3.6 ) to (Paranoid Android ) to (I.C.S 4.0.4)
Sometimes after each format or rom flash wifi worked for 2 hours or even 24 hours normally then problem appear
3- Tried removing Wpa Supplicant ( Helped Sometimes Then NOT )
4- Tried Wifix TO change country code even manually did it
5- Adjusted the Nfram_Semacove i dnt remember the name actually from CC To All ( Worked then later Stopped )
6- Used Wifi Rescue (Worked for a while then Stopped )
7- I Flashed Alot of kernels ((Heared that syiah Kernal Fix this problem but nothing out for NOTE YET )
HELP
I know that many will think that its a hardware ISSUE BUT IF Its hardware then why sometimes it work !!!!!
What i really Think is : Its a BUG Changed some files of the system which are not restored by flashing new ROM !!! for example when i Flashed Roms and Kernels i Found WPA Supplicant unchanged with my router Config !!!!
I SENT THE PHONE TO CUSTOMER SERVICE AND THEY SAID WILL CHECK AND REPLY within24 hrs but for sure its hardware and change Board which means 2800 EGP which is the price of new SGs2 soo am sure its a Bug or Software CAN ANY1 Help MEEEEEE

I am also facing the same problem for last one month and tried almost all the options tried by you but no relief. Wifi just works some time and other times it stays greyed. Can any one suggest any other solution as i also think it's software problem.

jesus christ, we are not BLIND!
anyway, i have same issues on sgs2

Same issue
@MOHPHR : I am facing the same issue as you.
I tried several ROMs from Original stock ICS to Paranoid to Crisleko's ROM.
Going into the airplane mode and then turning wifi on used to work, not anymore.
3G Data works just fine, not being able to use wifi is frustrating because when I leave it alone, it connects by itself randomly when I am at home for example.
I have done some extensive research and found an article that mentions wifi hardware problems resulting from ICS update on a galaxy S2. (Google: Samsung Galaxy S2 WiFi Issue BY Shaiful Borhan )
I did use the *#*#526#*#* and got the status: "NotSet Driver loaded [NG]".
Anyone can help please ?

WiFi drivers are not installed properly. Flash stock GB firmware

Hi, I have been looking for days now for a forum that will be discussing this exact problem. I ve had this issue fora month or so now. I have restored to factory settings but it has not solved the problem. My galaxy note n7000 is not rooted nor does it have any special rom. I wouldnt even know how to install them. Where you able to find a fix? I am so tired of this problem, Im even contemplating the possibility of getting a note 2 and selling my n7000. I believe as well that it is most likely a software problem and im wondering if the soon to come jellly bean update could fix this issue.
Ps: after the wifi problem started, ive also noticed freezes and restars/ reboots.
Thanks for your help guys.:good:

@fedetipito I am still considering the hardware issue, although it seems a compatibility issue with the region/country as @fearkillerr mentioned in this post (http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1436683)
I tried his solutions, none worked. The script one worked, but only once, then the problem kept repeating.
I upgraded to JB 4.2 then downgraded to stock GB 2.3 still the same issue. I am from the North Africa/Middle-East region, although when I was in Sweden in holidays and using a Swedish sim-card didn't have this issue. Any thoughts ? This problem is really really upsetting as we cannot use the WiFi properly. I am seriously considering simply abandoning my Galaxy Note N7000 and go for an iPhone 5, simply because I cannot even sell it (since no one would like a smartphone that doesn't have a proper wifi working).

I am having almost same problem with WiFi after I installed Custom ROM.
I tried only one method and it worked like a charm.
Go to WiFi connections and tell your phone to forget the network you are connected to, then re log. This problem did not happen after that 3 days now. Good Luck.

@Valium10 we initially cannot connect to any WiFi network, so we can't "forget" them. I don't think it is a "wifi network" problem.

" although when I was in Sweden in holidays and using a Swedish sim-card didn't have this issue"
And if you take SIM card out and power-on phone?Will wifi work?

Sometimes no, sometimes yes. It's kind of a malicious bug.

I am also facing the same problem and it seems it is hardware problem. May some dust or something else on the hardware or else we have dropped our phone some problem is there. When I gave to service center they asked that the motherboard needs to be replaced. But they refused to check it without that. I told that first try without replacing any parts and just check whats wrong in this if some repair can be done, but the service center people are so busy 50-60 peoples were waiting in line behind me to give there phones for service. They do not listen anything. They have tried by installing latest ROM and nothing else, that we can easily do it and for that also they have taken service charges.
Please someone tell me where exactly the wifi module is there, so we can open and check the problem ourself.

[Q] WiFi problem with MIUI

Hello,
I have just flashed MIUI Gingerbread 2.4.20-RC3 to my GT-S5570, everything looks great, except WiFi, when I turn on WiFi, it says "Scanning" finds my WiFi and then "disconnected" and again shows "Scanning" for 1 sec and again "disconnected", what can I do?

WiFi Error
You need to revert to your old stock rom, because the drivers for WiFi aren't working. Same thing happened on my mobile phone, when I flashed it with the newer firmware. Didn't really find the solution to this problem, but solved it by going back to my old rom. Hope this helps.
You can also try typing this code into your phone: #*#*526#*#*
It might work for you.
Best of luck.

Thank you for reply.
It is working now, here is what I did: In phone settings I tried to change themes lock screen to other, but unfortunately not default lock screen was way too big (very big resolution) so I was not able to unlock my phone any more, once I found that I can do it pressing back+volume down, it helped to unlock, but MIUI was crashed and stopped working, so I had to wipe all data and cash, to reset default settings, after this, everything works great now.

the same thing was happening to me (on the same rom)>> "fixed" it by reseting the notebook-hot-spot (connectify) I use
[sometimes even a simple wi-fi turn on/off or rebooting the device would help too]

The 3G works fine on pac?
However, you can try to flash the boot.img in fastboot and see.
And, what's your problem with the recovery?

I am having the same problem too. Was previously on trickdroid. Flashed Revolt ROM and my wifi wasnt connecting to my home network. It could detect, prompted for the network password but after that it just wouldnt connect. So i looked deeper in the phone's information and discovered that my phone's IP address was in a different IP address range. It was 10.x.x.x and my home router was 192.x.x.x. My sister's S4 had no wifi problems (unrooted) and hers was 192.x.x.x. So now I'm trying to set my HTC One's IP address to 192.x.x.x. Still trying to figure a way out though. Hopefully it will work. Give it a try!

WiFi activation loop

Hello everyone,
I flashed CM 10.1.2 with build-date 2013 Jul 11 and I can't activate my WiFi anymore.
Bluetooth is ok, but I can't disable NFC - same as WiFi.
I push the button and it's "working" to activate wifi or deactivate nfc - but nothing happens. [edit: nfc working after reboot]
I've got not many ideas what I can do. Everything is working fine with the stock rom v.20a EUR_Open.
Has got someone an idea what I can try?
I did every step on it's own to have a look on which point the problem appears - after installing cm 10.1.2 with cwm recovery.
Bootloader is unlocked.
I'm looking forward to your suggestions and please accept my apologies for my bad english.
Kind Regards
FChaos

For nfc, just restart once, that will fix it

Hey,
im having the same issue with wifi.
When i try to activate the switch gets stuck in grey but it does not activate.
I have it since I installed CM 10.1.2 stable. Before everything worked just fine.
Any solutions for this problem?
Greetz

Wipe cache & dalvik cache
Fix permissions
Reboot
If that doesn't work then full wipe and reflash.
Note: WEP encryption will not work with CM v10.x so make sure you are using WPA on your wireless networks.

I already tried everything you mentioned, but nothing works for me.
WEP is not the problem, because I can't even get to the point to select my router. Also I'm using WPA2 at home.

I presume the CM build you refer to is a nightly? Try a different one or CM stable - nightlies are a beta software and may have random bugs.

The problem occurs since I installed the CM 10.1.2 stable.
After that I also tried some of the new CM 10.2 nightlies, but the problem still exists.
Any other ideas?
Edit:
When I install Android 4.1.2 Stock everything works just fine, but the moment I install CM wifi does not work anymore.

Flashed pre-rooted ROM, wifi no longer working (authentication error)

I installed lyriquidperfection's stock pre-rooted ROM (here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1942150), everything seems to work ok so far except for Wi-Fi.
The phone will not connect to my home network, telling me the password is incorrect and displaying 'authentication error'. WPA2 password is definitely correct.
Can anyone suggest what might be the problem?

I'm also getting a new symbol in the right hand side of the notification bar, it is a big N with what looks like a wifi signal next to it.. what does that mean?

I hope you didn't do this... you flashed a I9305 firmware on a I9300 device? Or you just asked on the wrong Q&A section? There's a separate Q&A section for the I9305 device so...

Oh right, it appears I've posted in the wrong section. I definitely have an i9305.
Like I said almost everything seems to be working fine (in fact other than the boot screen I noticed almost no difference after flashing) except for Wi-Fi.
But I have also noticed one more issue, the phone will not connect to my PC in "Media Player" mode. It connects fine in "camera" mode. My old phone (galaxy W) used to connect fine in all modes and I have transferred files to this phone in Media Player mode before flashing this ROM...
Anyways most important issue is getting Wi-Fi to work.. any ideas?

I have no idea since I don't own a I9305 device. I'll just report this post to be moved to the I9305 Q&A section and from there maybe you'll get a solution to your problem.

Clear any caches ie Dalvik, system and user.
Then shut down and pull the battery for a min of 20 seconds.
Reset your modem / router if this fails to work try and connect without any security to see if this is an issue.
If all ok reactivate your security and try again.
As for your usb go to settings / advanced settings and make sure usb debugging is enabled.
Reinstall your Samsung drivers on your PC and remove Kies if you have it installed, reboot PC then all should be well. :good:
Final sanction if all else fails reinstall the rom but clear all your data first.

wifi is controlled by the baseband

Simply Wrong please read the faqs and guides .
Wifi is not baseband .

another simple suggestion for you, why not try to set the network into connect without password,you can find out if the phone is ok in connecting with router.

you are right,baseband controls the signal only，wifi is by the rom～

Which is what I suggested in my previous post, please read before giving an answer.

I´ve had the same Problem with my S3 LTE and the Speedport router in germany.
There is a setting in the Wlan Menu ( Save energy on Wifi ) you have to disable it. You can also Update your Router to the newest Firmware.
After that it had worked for me
