[Q] [q] Wi-Fi Problems,please help - Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Hello,
I'm having problems with wi-fi connection,in fact it doesn't connect at all.
I'm running on CyanogenMod 10.1 i also was in slim bean before CM,and in slim bean the wi-fi connection problem started.
First when i put in the Slim bean,the Wi-Fi worked for a week ,then it didn't worked anymore.
The option "On-Off" to connect,it's often disabled so i can't even turn it on to search,and sometimes when i turn it on,it just keeps looking for Wi-Fi and nothing appears,though i have Wi-Fi in my house.
Does anyone know what should i do ?
p.s i got samsung galaxy s1 gt-i9000
Regards

As you can see, issues regarding Wi-Fi connectivity is related to the kernel that's installed. Try flashing a different kernel and check if it has any improvements.

if your device is i9000, I suggest go for Devil Kernel it's been great since then. Just download the zip file put it in your storage, go to recovery (CWM) and flash it in there. There are instructions in that thread. Godspeed!

wifi connectivity problem

Hi everybody, It happened to me several times to be connected to wifi, but without having a real working connection.
It was impossible to connect to internet with any application, though signal on the status bar appeared correctly.
A reboot solves temporarily this problem, but sometimes gets rather annoying.
I'm on apocalypse final, with latest firekernel.

Yeah, I had a similar problem too.
It happened even when my phone wasnt even rooted!
Im sure the dev would come up with a fix.
Ok I have other details of my problem.
I'm on Apocalypse Final, using Amarullz and latest Firekernel.
The only way i found to use Wi-Fi without problems is to turn it on and then reboot the phone. This way it connects and works fine.
The bad thing is i have to reboot once again to use data connection, otherwise won't connect.
Could please someone give me a peace of advice? I could stand this, it's not a huge problem since i don't switch much between data and Wi-Fi, but it's a weird thing...

I feel its a problem in the Kernel itself.
idk if its possible (I think it is, i've never tried it), if you could flash a new kernel and check?
I'll try if i can but this week I'm very busy...

I tried with my gf's connection and i could connect normally... i think it's my router. It just doesn't like my phone, bad bastard!
Anyway I'll try asking the kernel developer for information, thank you all for your help.

Random reboots into recovery

Hello xda
I know there quite a few posts out there with people detailing their phones rebooting randomly but my phone just hit a new level of weird.
My i9000 reboots randomly into cwm recovery menu for no good reason (I know there is another thread about this but that instance is on the Nexus S and the thread has basically died). This started occurring shortly after I flashed slim ROM 4.2.2 build 5 (came from CM10.1 nightlies). Flashing the rom again and updating it to build 6 has done nothing to alleviate the issue.
I'm using the Semaphore kernel with no OC or changed settings, and having recently bought a new battery, I'm really not sure where to start looking for the problem.
If anyone can give me some tips it'd be greatly appreciate, thanks in advance.

hi
randomly i will got this problem if i m flashing backward. like from 4.2.2 - 4.2.1, or 4.1.x to 4.0.x. or repeatedly changing between kernel (i always do this to modified ROM to suits my settings n need) its probably due to changing partition in system or kernel clash (even i did all wipe) in internalsd.
Sorry to say. it will come worst sometimes if u ignore da problem or keep flashing ROM to avoid it. 'Luckily' about 2 hour ago my sgs just did. Constantly booting to recovery n its juz bootloop between kernel splashscreen n sgs white splashscreen after it.3 combo button will not working for recovery n only download mode accessible.
no more method for me . Juz flashing back to stock firmware JVU +CF-ROOT with odin was da answers
but if u dont familiar with odin.seek guide here
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2149455
but use it as ur last method!
clashing between titan.....no! kernel maybe da reason.do some wiping before changing kernel or ROM. n format system if necessary before flashing!

Reboots into CMW with Slim Bean 4.3 and Semaphore
Hi guys, any news on the subject? Exactly the same thing happening to me. I did a clean installation of Slim 4.3, after using CM10 and everything seems to be working perfectly except it reboots into CWM every 1-2h!!! I haven't changed any configuration and didn't mess with the kernel that came with the ROM, which is Semaphore... Is it a kernel issue? Should I try to flash the latest version?

I run into the same problem with my current update of my I9000 to CM 10.2.1 and the Semaphore Kernel 3.3.0 (JB).
Any ideas on this issue from the pros?
I realized that it was happening to me only when I was loosing the network coverage, like being in the underground or roaming or things like that... I don't know if it happens to everyone but in my case it's definitely this. If there is no network available my phone will boot into recovery after a while. If the signal is OK, it doesn't happen. Maybe it has something to do with the modem?!

[Q] [i9001] Wifi problems after flashing KKernel

Hello!
I flashed a new kernel for my smoothie rom. And when i go to the wifi settings on/off button is locked on. In wifi settings there is only a text "Starting WIFI".
I think it's not working because the kernel has lowered wifi voltage.
Does anybody else have same problem?
I'll be very grateful if someone would find a fix for this problem.
:good:
Only an idea:
Did you a restart of your device (after flashing kernel)???

I flashed Phenom Kernel v6.1 for 4.3, and wifi is not working anymore. Someone had the same problem there, I don't know how to change my router's channels. Any other ideas?
Ps. I would like to post to dev page, where this kernel is but I can't do that because I don't have over 10 posts in this forum. Isn't that pretty stupid?

[Q] Maclaw 10.2 1GHz and wifi

I was running the lastest build of maclaw's 10.2 from feb 25th but my wifi stopped picking up any signal and when it tries to the cpu is maxed out to 1Ghz.
I've tried the 1ghz bug fixes of turning off wifi and rebooting, changing the scheduler and the governor, They stopped the high cpu usage but i still can't use wifi.
I've tried going back to old versions of the ROM but the problem was still there even after i tried 1Ghz bug fixes again.
when i leave the phone to rest it gets hot (not very hot just hot) and the battery is going down fast! all of which i assume is due to high cpu usage.
Can you help? please?
I would have posted in maclaws thead for the ROM but i don't have enough posts
All help welcome!
Cheers!

Is the feb 25th build the latest one!? You did all that I would suggest to you, so do a nadroid backup (just in case) & do a clean install or flash the newest cm 10.2 version.

Yep it's the latest build for cyanogenmod 10.2 anyway. I'd rather not do a clean install but if i have to i might just go back to an offical rom or maclaws cyanogenmod 11 but that appears to have the 1Ghz bug too.
Thanks for the reply too!

if you use the patch wifi turns on after a reboot automatically without the 1 GHz bug (as it should be...)

Sorry, The wifi can't detect any signal and while it's turned on the cpu stays at 1ghz
Thats the problem
The app sets it so the wifi is never on after reboot so the cpu usage is fine untill i try turn on the wifi
Is that clear? I'm terrible at explaining things sorry.
I just want my wifi to work so i can connect to a network

But this problem does not depend on the 1 GHz bug.
Try to reflash the ROM or better flash a better one like this one i use ...:angel: (with no wifi problems anytime)

BUT REMEMBER: afaik all custom ROMs (and i tested them all for our device :angel have this 1 GHz bug.
But this is no problem: just turn off wifi manually before restarting the device (takes almost a second ...)
J.
Alright so I've changed to many different roms now and all of them have had this problem.
I've tried maclaws cm10.1, carbon and then cm 11, Cm 11 worked for a few days but the problem returned
I then tried carbon by kevinjoa and marclaws cm 10.2 again but still no wifi
I've just restored it back to out of the factory samsung rom and recovery, my wifi is back! hope it lasts now!
Just to be clear the problem is the wifi can't find any signal at all! and sometimes it cant even turn on. When the phone is trying to do either of those it drives the cpu to max out.
If you have this problem or know what it is or have any ideas how to fix it let me know!
Ok so the problem came back on the stock rom so i'm thinking it's a hardware problem but i need to know specifics like is it the wifi ic chip or what?
I flashed the latest cm10.2 and did a full wipe
I then got a log from the syslog app and i've attached it below, i cant understand anything in it so can you help with that? is there any information in the log as to was the problem is?
right
I noticed that too most custom rom have issue with wifi or gps
but it will fix with time I think

Thats what i thought i might be for a while but i had the problem in the stock samsung rom too.
ok so i don't think it's the ic as the bluetooth is still working fine,
i've also found there are two scenarios:
1.
The wifi can't turn on at all it constantly says turning wifi on....
2.
The wifi takes a few minutes to come on and then it can't pick up any signal at all.
In both of these scenarios the cpu is maxed out constantly too
Also could a mod please change the title of this thread to something like wifi problems please
I'm still trying to fix this guys, I could really use some help.
I've been doing more testing and firstly if I remove the sim and sd cards and boot back up SOMETIMES the wifi will come on with no problems,
I've also found that if i turn on the bluetooth and then reboot the phone the wifi SOMETIMES comes on with no problems
If i combine removing the cards and turning on the bluetooth the wifi ALWAYS works.
When i say the wifi works with no problems i mean NO problems, I can reboot with the cards again and with the bluetooth off and it still works but only for a short time ( 1 or 2 days)
I think the bluetooth is boosting the wifi signal or something and I've idea how/why removing the cards works.
Any ideas?
Thanks
Just posting a small update about 1GHz bug in Mac's 10.2 rom. The very latest release (20140621) is awesome and very good. However, I get the 1GHz bug a lot more than with previous releases. I am also using the GT-I8190XXANR6_modem baseband from http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2526831 which is currently the latest one. There should be a new release from Mac shortly, with new samsung kernel... Maybe that does something?
Does anyone else have different results with this rom, but other baseband?

phone wont stay off while charging

Hi, i know it's ironic to create an account just to get some help but i tried googling everywhere but there's no solution to my problem.
I have installed cyanogenmod for my s3 mini eveything was fine but it wont stay off when charging. Instead of showing the battery percentage, it reboots my phone automatically. So please just help me fix this

Which version of CM are you using?
Also is this offline charging? I recall in earlier versions of CM12.1 offine charging did not work; this could be the case with other ROMs too. Try updating to the latest version.
If that doesn't help try reinstalling the ROM. That's solved countless problems for me.
Good luck

Could be either one hey; here's what I would try:
1. Wipe cache/dalvik
2. Do a fresh install of the ROM; might have been a flash error
3. Obtain another ROM (Maybe try a KitKat ROM) and try to flash that and see if it works
1 & 2 will determine if its a minor software error
3 will allow you to determine if there is a problem with your phone
Good luck
