[Q] Weird wifi bug - XPERIA X8 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Dear all,
I was previously on GDX v11 stock kernel. Working great.
Then, suddenly, the Wifi stopped working. Didn't change anything at all in the phone, nor in my home router.
It would keep scanning, connecting, disconnected, stuck in this loop.
I'm not sure this is connected, but the battery looks swollen too.
I tried removing forgetting all networks, and rescanning, did not work.
Then, I tried connecting to open network, still no luck.
Tried with different networks too.
Fresh wipe, clear cache, clear dalvik cache, same problem.
Then I installed v031b stock kernel using xrecovery in v011, but sadly, no wifi too. As an aside, v031b is just awesome! Super smooth with great functionality.
Any ideas guys? Or is it a busted wifi chip?
Thank you.

How many times do you need to post this? Flash back to stock rom. I'll report you if I see you doing this again buddy!

Sorry, I already deleted the earlier thread before moving it here.... Thought it would be more appropiate here. My apologies.

It's ok mate.. Just keeps the place tidy!
Good luck flashing back!

Back on stock ROM 2.1. Same issue... wifi chip destroyed?

[Q] unable to get data connection

Hi guys,
I'm being annoyed by my SGS about his data connection. Hope someone could help me!
Few days ago I flashed MIUI Mintberry 2.1.20 and everything was working like a charm, but this morning data connection switch failed several times.
I've tried to wipe everything, re-flash Mintberry and even to flash JVU stock with Odin, but I still can't switch on my data connection.
I can't even see any icon on the status bar.
Any idea? Is my phone broken?

Hmm this is strange, so you turned data on but theres no symbol, right? Have you tried installing another kernel (maybe also applying the Kernel Cleaning Script)?
I' ve tried everything with Odin, and at the moment I have a beautiful black screen of death.
Odin cannot recognize my phone... I'm very frustrated
EDIT: Upgrading Kies'drivers, I managed to connect the phone with Odin again, so I've flashed the lastest official stock firmware to check my antennas. In the worst case, I'll be able to go to the shop for assistance without problems.
Have u tried typin ur apn maually?
Sent from my GT-I9000 using xda premium
Sounds like a settings issue. Never heard of anyone have this problem before - I've flashed every version of mintberry including betas.
I just had this issue
I just had this and figured out what is wrong, its a easy fix too! Just go to settings and wireless and change the access point for your mobile connection. I had 2 access points and just switched it to the other one and my data started working again!
Hope I could help
Hi guys! thank you for all these answers!
I've tried to set APN manually, to change custom ROM and custom kernels and coming back to stock too, but still no data connection icon (neither data connection itself).
At the moment, I'm on JVO, the latest official italian firmware, everything is fine but 3g data connection.
Other ideas? Shall i need of Samsung customer service (I hope no!)?
Solved...
MIUI default settings fault: SMS notification has ran out my money and my provider has blocked 3g connection.
My phone is safe!

[Q] WiFi Won't Connect GDX028b

Hey, I've got a problem after a fresh install of GDX 028b.
My WiFi simply won't connect. It sees the avaliable networks, but when I try to connect to my router it stucks at connecting, at disconnects, then goes back to scanning, doing this cycle forever.
I have an Alfs v08 and GDX v028b, and I've installed the GingerDX Alfs Kernel AddOn v007 as well.
What can cause this problem?
Things I've already done:
-deteled the remembered networks
-completely wiped everything, reinstalled rom, kernel
There's a kind of fix Swift did with titanium. it worked for me even on v28. You may want to search that.
Sent from me to you
yeah try to read this thread

Thanks for the reply, but unfortunately this did not work.
Sorry, but I have to bump this.
One last update, I've obviously tried to connect to more networks, some open, some closed, but I still couldn't manage to connect.

WiFi issue

Help pretty please.{{bats eyelashes}}
I am having an issue connecting to Wifi I have found threads on this issue but no solutions except one and it didn't work for me.
I get home from work and go to connect to my wifi and nothing happens and it keeps trying to "obtain IP address" then I get "avoided poor internet connection"
I tried WiFix and that did not work. Restarted both my phone and router. Router is fine my computer is running on it and I tried to connect to both of my neighbors with same issue.

i have had this happen to me too. You can try and wipe cache and dalvik cache, but if you backup everything and then wipe everything and reflash the rom it should come back. That has worked for me
Oye. I figured but I was trying to avoid going through that. Eh oh well
Thanks. Going to try now
Edit:
Didn't even need to reflash just the wipe worked.

[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]
I'm posting this in order to prevent you from doing more drastic stuff :cyclops:
hope it' helps

OnePlus 3t Bluetooth not turning on

Hi guys I really need some help. It's been quite a few days now since my Bluetooth isn't turning on. I've tried clearing cache n data for Bluetooth apps and services in application manager but still no luck. This is what happens when I try to turn on Bluetooth... (Check screenshot)
The switch just fades and Bluetooth doesn't really turn on at all. And after a while the switch turns off by itself. Please help.
I also tried flashing another kernel (from stock) but still no luck. I'm on OOS 4.1.7 with Blu spark r174.
It had stopped working since I was on stock OOS (non rooted) and then I rooted and installed Blu spark but still no luck.
I have tried clearing app cache and data of Bluetooth share app, reset network settings even tried factory reset, still no luck. OOS 4.1.7.
Someone please help.

If it isn't working after factory reset, most probably it is a hardware problem..
Another issue that I've heard off is related to the encryption of the storage, but i don't think this is the case now

But then the system acts weird about Bluetooth. When I try to turn it on (notice I do get an option to turn it on), the switch flips on the other side (switching ON) but fades n does nothing. And if I move out of settings and come back to Bluetooth section, it goes back to off. I kind of have a feeling it's a software problem n just needs some system modifications. But I really don't know, really need some expert opinions, please help guys.
Full wipe and try to downgrade to earlier OOS version..
( 4.1.5 ) or try another custom kernel ..EX or Dorimanx....

This happened to my dad on another phone and after a while the wifi died as well. It's a hardware issue.
I had the same issue 2 months ago. tried to switch back to stock and everything, it did not work. So I sent mine back to Oneplus, it was a hardware problem and the motherboard had to be changed. It sounds like you are unlucky as I was.
Just dirty flash your Rom and check if it works.

When folks say "factory reset" they most usually means just using the option "factory reset" in stock/custom recovery, or in phone Settings. All those do, is wipe user data. SO the problem will only be solved if some problem/incompatibility with user data was the culprit (does not actually "restore" any software/firmware).
I would suggest flashing the full 4.1.7 (or even early version) zip to restore to full stock, which I think is more what you meant.
This has happened to me before after updating magisk and not re-flashing a kernel. Wi-Fi and Bluetooth weren't toggleable (if that's a word) and the phones battery was draining pretty aggressively. I'd follow the advice from others and do a reset, or flash a custom kernel over what you have.
