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.

I am considering upgrading to 2.3.4 on my galaxy mini to solve the "sleep of death" problem... is anyone out there who has upgraded to 2.3.4 still having the "sleep of death" problem?
Whats sleep of death problem ?
It's when the phone is still "on" but will not wake up. The only way to get it working is to take out the battery. Many are reporting this happening every day or two.
Happens on i9000 for me, I just keep powerbutton pressed until it reboots. No need to remove battery.
I think i need to do a factory reset on phone + sd card someday, maybe it resolves it.
this happened to me too. just reset phone and when it starts, try to use the phone or just simply tap the phone every time it tries to sleep (anything works as long it doesn't sleep)... just keep on doing this for about 30min? or more
(make yourself busy while doing this cuz its gonna be boring just tapping)
I think it's related to hardware problem (not confirmed yet anyway)... Don't believe that "upgrade" could be the solution..
I actually hope so!
GT-S5570 on Train
I just upgraded today using kies.... now when I try to start up it never gets past the step where it shows the "Samsung Galaxy Mini" text. Creating another thread for this problem.
With CheckFUSDownloader (thanks to Luffarjoh - search 3D) you can download the archive used to update your fw and, so, reflash it with Odin (even more times if needed)...

Nope, it's not hardware related. Never had a SOD since I used tjstyle's CM7.
Early Gingerbread firmware from Samsung has SOD too, but I think the latest versions doesn't.
Official firmware is now on 2.3.5, FYI.
If I can't get passed the logo screen what is the best way to get my firmware information? The guides say I need this info to choose the right rom.
Thanks!
This is a Froyo problem, didn't happen in Gingerbread :3
Yeah, had the same problem when on Froyo, after flashing GB2.3.4 the problem hasn't occured.

welll for that had u used a nandroid backup to revert??
Maybe the baseband is a problem. Try a different baseband and see. Since you are telling that wifi works in cm7, maybe there is a problem with your stock rom.

Can't turn on Wifi and Blueetooth, gives error
Hi, I just purchased a samsung galaxy ace gt s5830 that came from korea. The phone was initially working fine and had 2.2.1 froyo running on it. But this set did't allow more than 80 characters in text message and converted into an mms. I thought I should updgrade it to gingerbread so I downloaded gingerbread 2.3.6 and upgraded the phone via Odin. Since then, my wifi and bluetooth don't work. when i try to turn on the wifi, it says "Error". I have tried all possible solutions but was never successful. tried those codes like *#526*, *$528* and many other codes but no use. I also thought of going back to froyo 2.2.1 and downloaded a stock rom and flashed it but still the same error.
Now can anyone suggest a solution here so that either I can revert to the korean firmware (since I can't find one for korean region) or I can fix the wifi and blutooth error.
Please Please help!!! I purchased it to present it to my wife on her birthday but now its all messy
any of u try updating to 2.3.6
hello everyone, I just registered here for a couple issues with my girlfriend's i9001, it basically can't find Wifi connections, once you click the button to activate the wifi, it shows a green check for few mins while looking for connections and suddenly it deactivates by itself...
I read around about a file to remove via terminal emulator, the bcm_supp.conf one, but I can't find that file...
does anyone have any idea/solution for it? currently she uses internet via 3g (monthly charges) but it would be cool to be able to use the home wifi...
about bluetooth instead, it just can't find other bluetooth devices and vice versa, my nokia 5800 can't find it even if the "visible" option is activated.
ideas?
I'm going crazy about it, I already tried several hard resets and flashed the phone first with 2.3.5 and then with 2.3.6 firmwares... nothing fixed the issues...
thanks in advance for any response
ps: sorry for my english, I'm italian >_<
i had exactly the same wifi issue but flashing a new rom solved the problem. reset and reflashing the same rom didn't help. you tried several 2.3.6 versions?
you might try flashing another modem.

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]

Hello guys,
I just want to share this problem with my S3 LTE i9305, this unit came from singapore (singtel), and im now using it in Cebu, Philippines. However i am having too much trouble with its wifi always getting Authentication errors (when i was still in stock firmware).
I should say i can rule out that my wifi hardware is defective, because I was using the wifi yesterday whole night in our house. downloading stuffs from play store, browsing, facebook and etc.
This is what i already did:
1. downloaded a Hongkong firmware (official samsung stock firmware) flashed with odin with no problem. hoping that the wifi issue is just a corrupt base firmware.
- still wifi is problmatic
2. Im on Cyanogenmod 10.1 4.2.2 Jellybean
- all functions are okay except for the wifi
WIFI SETUP:
keep wi-fi on during sleep: always
wi-fi frequency band: auto
wi-fi region code: usa
wifi optimiation: unchecked
It can seem to detect new wifi with strong signals but whenever you connect to it the signal 'literally' drops to one bar, and stop doing the connection.
the problem is intermittent, meaning:
sometimes it works, sometimes its not - and there is no definite time when it works and when not.
here are the details of my current device:
Baseband version: I9305ZHBMI2
Kernel Version: 3.0.64-CM-g9c2e2b; [email protected] #1; mon sep 23 15:03:19 pdt

wi-fi region code: usa
wifi optimiation: unchecked
It can seem to detect new wifi with strong signals but whenever you connect to it the signal 'literally' drops to one bar, and stop doing the connection.
the problem is intermittent, meaning:
sometimes it works, sometimes its not - and there is no definite time when it works and when not.
here are the details of my current device:
Baseband version: I9305ZHBMI2
Kernel Version: 3.0.64-CM-g9c2e2b; [email protected] #1; mon sep 23 15:03:19 pdt
Cyanogenmod version: 10.1.3-i9305
Build Number: cm_i9305-userdebug 4.2.2 JDQ39E; eng.jenkins.20130923.145024 test-keys

hello! sorry about early bumping.
with wiping phone flash stock rom <<-- how do i do this? and not corrupting any vital stuff inside my phone. I heard that EFS is a very important.
update:
if you're talking about these:
1.wipe data/factory reset
2. wipe cache
3. wipe dalvic cache
i did those stuff 10x already...
PROBLEM is INTERMITTENT: sometime it will connect just fine, sometimes not. << how am I going to work around this problem?
is there any way to low level diagnose the wifi system?
could it just be the hardware? - if hardware then there shouldn't be times that it can connect fine
could it be the software? - where to start?
How i wish someone can help me fix all these intermittent problems I am encountering with the wifi.
EFS etc its all in the Faqs and Guides .

Hi, i have been reading those giudes, and i havent encountered any special method of wiping as what you say... I have used odin to flash like 5x already, got into cwm wipe data, wipe cache and wipe dalvik cache...
I already have a backup of my efs in .img format, using terminal.
Can you walk me through?
Wipe phone flash stock rom and test .
I believe flashing via odin using stock samsung rom will wipe the flash. Is that correct? Or do you mean to say format the flash chip first before flashing with odin?... Im not quite sure how to do that.
Right now im using my celfone posting this message. Its just that this fone doesnt connect to other access points where the rest of wifi devices connects fine.
if you are referring to this guide:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1911726
i have done this many times already.

I have tried alot of different ROMS already and the problem persists.
Could this be hardware related?
are there people whos got similar issue?
It can connect to wifi right away if you're 2 meters line of sight of the router/access point.

Yes it could be.My phone had intermittent wfi and data.Turns out it was an "RF loopback timeout" problem.Needed fixing at service centre.HTH.
