Wifi not working? - LG Optimus 2x

Having quite a huge problem here. My wifi won't connect to any network. Most of the time settings just FC on me. I'm on temasek 135.1 atm. Tried all the CM7 kernels out there, as well as 5-10 different bb/ril combinations. Anyone have any idea how to solve this problem or is it that my wifi really is gone for good?

First, make a NANDROID BACKUP before doing anything...
Maybe you can try a Wifi Fixer like this one: https://play.google.com/store/apps/...mNvbS5icmlsbGlhcHBzLndpZmlhbmRtb3JlZml4ZXIiXQ..
If it doesn't work, just reflash the rom with the 3 Wipes (Cache, Dalvik-Cache and Battery Stats)
NO need to Format System/Data
Give us feedback. :angel:

Wifi-fix did not work.
I have flashed 10+ different roms trying to solve my problem, all with full wipe ofc. Nothing seems to work.
Maybe a nvflash will help?
Anyone else with this problem?

First time I heard that
Try to reinstall the stock firmware and see if it works...maybe your wireless card is broiled??

Trying NVflash atm. Not working, still no WiFi.
Think my WiFi is gone for good.
Just getting error msg in settings when I try to connetct.
Boring, but this just forces me to get a new phone. No more LG crap.

Does the Wifi settings screen still show anything going on?
E.g. "Error" or continuously "Obtaining IP address"?
As far as I know when it shows "Error" it may either have crashed due to being out of memory, or because you need to wipe cache/dalvik cache.
I once had a problem that it would continuously show "Obtaining IP address" on each and every access point.
Got that fixed by no longer explicitly using an alternate DNS (OpenDNS, Google DNS) with the Set DNS app.
Once also got my ZyXEL wifi router messing up things. But that got resolved by rebooting the router.

Only get the error message or FC. Wifi fixer says invalid.
Anyone know a way to fix this?

Losing data connection (NOT wifi but HSPDA, EDGE...)

This is about all the data connection through the MOBILE provider, so not WIFI.
It is after x time when the phone is on. Maybe it is GPS related.
But bottomnline: the icon with the H or the E(dge) is there and it is even flashing for data, however every app stats there is no connection to the network.
After a reboot all is fine.
Other persons are also experiencing this : http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=675786&highlight=huuub
I am using cyanogens latest with one of pershoots latest, but other kernels show the same behaviour.
My guess is that everyone has this problem? Is this a bug somewhere?
This happensto mine as well. I just switch in and out of flight mode to fix it.

This is a carrier issue. Not the Rom. trust me.

Oh, ok, I should trust you. If you hadn't told me to trust you, I wouldn't have, but now that you did tell me, I do.
I think it's a software issue, as do many other people. Never had this problem with tmobile on any other phone.
Oh, I almost forgot: trust me.
Does anyone here notice it seems to get lost after leaving a wifi connection? Like this bug?

I have the same problem, im using modaco CM mod 5.0.6
I don't remember to have this problem with modaco desire/nexus Rom

I've experienced this more frequently on Cyanogen roms vs. Modaco's.
really a bug ?
ok guys, I am completely in a stock 2.1 rom .. no mods whatsoever and not rooted as well .. to get this problem, use wi-fi for a while(5mins example) and then disable it .. then use ur gprs/edge and see if it works.. the small E logo will show and the upstream arrow will glow white but downstream arrow will stay dark gray.. both should glow white when accessing the net but it doesn't after using wi fi .. this is really pissing me off having to restart my phone everytime this happens and I use both wi fi and gprs for everyday use .. can someone check to see if this problem is persistent ? thanks ..
Juicedefender is the cause
Ok, I figured out what was causing these problems. And I found out that after uninstaling Juicedefender my Cell connection returns. Anyway Juicedefender didn't seem to do so much for me anyway. (on the contrary I believe)
Can anybody confirm?

[Q] wifi keeps switching on and off

Hey all,
since a couple of days I have a problem with my wifi, it keeps switching on and off (I can see the checkbox activating and deactivating, every couple of seconds, at the moment it is unchecked and says "error")
as I said, the wifi worked before
I am running cyanogen 7 (http://android.doshaska.net/cm7) on Milestone
- But I have also tried MIUI, with the same problem
does issue sound familiar to anyone?
Maybe it is an app which force turns my wifi on/off, is there any way to check which one it is (as far as I know I don't have an of them, eg juice defender, tasker installed)
Many thanks
Have you tried other WiFi networks? Because the same error being reproduced across two different ROMs seems a little unlikely.
Well, the problem is that my wifi doesn't stay on long enough (just a couple of seconds) to scan/connect to any network.

So it isn't a problem connecting to a network, it's a problem of the wifi not even being able to turn on?
Well "technically" it does turn on, but it switches off immediately

wow, i just logged in to search for this issue myself. I have that same issue across multiple roms also. The one that did work was the Telus Lite Eclair. I liked that one, but of course I wanted to check out others. Each one was the same as you describe. Wifi scans, disconnects, scans, in a loop.
I have done searches on google for wifi disconnect loop android, and seen some stuff about kernals and stuff that is over my head at the moment. If some one has an idea on how to get it working that would be great.
I wipe before any install, I've went back to stock and it works, everytime I went to the Telus Lite one it also always worked. I dont know if theres a clue there or not?
Im on an Telus milestone in Canada, on Telus network if that makes a difference.
And since I think this is my first real post, Thanks for the work guys.
Not sure if this would work, but this is the first result that popped up: http://www.droidforums.net/forum/koush/75782-wifi-disconnect-loop-cm6-final.html
EDIT: People are saying that Hidden SSIDs and MAC filtering can cause problems when trying to connect to the WiFi network. Try forgetting the network, making the network visible(protected if you wish) and reboot the phone and try again.
ok, time for a stupid question...
where do I find suitable kernels?
I can't find anything about this (roms and kernel tweaking is a is pretty well documented though)

As far as I know, you won't be able to change the kernel on the Milestone at all, due to the locked bootloader.

a little update, I checked my settings on my router and there was nothing really out of place. For poops and giggles I installed Shawdowmod, and it works with out issue with my wifi. Go figure. Anyway, think im keeping it.
Thanks for the help.
hmmm, good to hear you figured it out.
I just went back to stock and guess what? still nothing
maybe I'll try that rom and see

[Q] 2x problems??

I recently got the lg optimus x2. It is running on 2.3.4.
Initially, the wifi connected but 3g was not recognised even though data roaming and access was enabled. However, now i cannot even connect to wifi. It keeps saying 'obtaining ip add' and then fails.
Going through various google searches I have messed around with the settings, set apn to default. Done factory reset. Disconnected, reconnected, changed sim cards, tried 2g, messed around with vpn, selected all network mode's but nothing seems to work. I have contemplated rooting the phone but doubt this will do anything?
This is extremely frustrating considering the "amazing" reviews the phone has one expects a simple tool such as wireless connection to work.
Would be grateful if anybody had any other ways to possibly resolve the issue?????
Thanks

You should use NVflash to have a "clean" install.

I have heard that this phone only supports some Wi-Fi channels.
Try to change your Wi-Fi channel to 6, for example.

There are two things you could do ...
1. Return the LG 2X - if that's still possible
2. Switch to a Custom ROM
Installing the first official LG update to my phone was a major setback for me as a lot of things stopped working, that worked before. But switching to a Custom ROM made me a happy man.
Have you considered trying out e.g. DjangoManouche (2.3.x) it is based on the stock ROM but has massive improvements built in.
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1410662
If you feel like you want the ICS experience there is NovaHD (based on CM9)
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1508492
The only glitch with CM9 is, that there are currently no drivers for the Tegra2 chipset released which results in lack of FullHD video recording, beside that the ROM works like a charm.
I am running NovaHD on my 2x now and not willing to go back to Gingerbread ;-)
If there is anything I can help you with, just let me know!
Cheers!

I cant download clockworld mode...so i tried to do it through the computer...and now the phone wont switch on
Hi,
that doesn't sound too good - did you follow any instructions installing clockworkmod?
I installed it using RomManager on the phone itself, worked like a charm.
Did you root your phone already?
I couldn't install it directly as i had no 3g/wifi (initial issue)...after i transferred the Nova Hd file into the SD, installed clockworld through PC and attempted a restart it wouldnt switch back on
Have you tried removing the battery and inserting it again? - Did you turn on the phone while pressing volume down (until the first LG logo disappears)?
This should then boot into clockwork recovery if you installed it correctly before.

done both, nothing works- phone is dead as a brick
This might be a dumb question, but has the battery still power? Have you tried with the power cord attached?
Is there nothing on the screen, no lights blinking? Brick dead?
Does this sound similar?

[HELP] ParanoidAndroid - Can't connect to 5Ghz networks

Hey guys.
Like the title says, ever since I flashed this rom, I am unable to connect to my 5Ghz wifi.. I used to connect to it just fine when I was on stock.
When I try to connect it just says "saved" but doesn't attempt to "authenticate" or "obtain an IP address" or any of the other usual stuff it does.
Just wondering if anyone else had a similar issue and managed to fix it? Help would be much appreciated.
Yes i have the same issue. Didnt connect to my router On pa and cm10.1/10.2.
I entered pw and it says "saved" but no connection. I am searching so long about a fix even with open wlan it did work and 2.5Ghz...nothing...dont know what to do. On stock everything is fine! Let me know when you have a fix for that pls.

[Q] Data connection

Hey there. I'm hoping that someone can help me out with this. A few days ago I updated to the latest rom from insertcoin. Since then I've had no data connection. Anything that requires Internet won't work. I've spent the day reflashing backups that I know are good but nothing worked. Tried different radios, checked apn settings and mobile data (which says I'm connected) without any success. In a moment of despair I reverted back to full stock hoping that it would solve the problem but again no joy.
At this stage I've run out of ideas which is why I've come grovelling to you guys. I couldn't find any solutions on Google, well nothing that helped. Everything looks like it's supposed to. Internet works over wifi but nothing works on mobile data. Any bright sparks out there with any suggestions ?
Cheers vinny

Thanks for the reply.I don't think it's the sim card cause I've tried it on another phone and it works fine.Hardware failure sounds more likely.I'm always careful when it comes to treating my phone.If I dropped it or something then I'd first think about a hardware problem,but nothing unusual has happened.Could flashing roms actually damage hardware ?
I one time did read about change the tel name in direct wifi to htc one that shold help someone wrote
