Hi there, after all I finally managed to get the bootloader unlocked and CM running smoothly - wonderful.
To achieve this I had to work carefully up and down through the threads here and it was really worth the work.
The only problem I noticed so far is that I can't establish a wifi connection?! I do see the networks and I try to establish the connection with the credentials as I am used to, but I fail. I also don't see the wifi icon in the statusbar.
Is this a known issue or did I just miss to to do something correctly while flashing?
I tried to find a hint here in the forum, but didn't so far. Sorry if I just overlooked it.
Thanks for any help :good:

I got the same problem. I have heard that a new release of the kernel come soon. Lets hope then it is fixed

I also just unlocked the bootloader and flashed CM10.1 but my WiFi is working fine, no problems.
One issue I heard people talking about is that in some cases CM changes the MAC address of your phone, so if you have any mac filtering you need to fix it accordingly. However, if you don't even see the WiFi icon it's a bit strange (remember that the icon doesn't show until you are connected). Can you go into settings and turn it on, find networks, add manually, etc.?
Did you do a factory reset after installing CM?
yes id did a factory reset
So, just arrived at home and the wifi works totally fine
The problem just occured at work before, with a wifi which is not broadcasting.
Strange, cause all other devices connect without any problems - so there seems to be a connex to the new rom.
Btw, I was so frustrated already with this device, I wanted to change it against an Xperia z or htc one today. Now, I'll keep it. Such an impressive leap forward compared to stock fw. Fast and smooth.
Cheers
still not ale to connect to the wifi here at work.
signal is good
network incl. wep pw is saved but it just does not connect. All other devices (SG2, iPad) are connected as always.
Doesn't make much sense to me. So if anyone has an idea, I'm glad to test it.
cheers

That would have been my intention as well, but we don't use any mac address filtering. I can connect with every other device as long as I have the right credentials.
There are not many options to change the settings, probably there's a app available....
Would be interesting if anybody else has this issue with not broadcasting wifi networks.
I cant connect to wifi network too. No mac filter, tried to change from WPA2 to WEP but still not able to connect.
Edit also tried factory reset.
Format

Did you format system before you flashed CM? Try to format system...

Is that just a guess? I would not see any relation to the kind problem we have.
Factory reset, wipe, flashing of ROM ... I think it's more related to the wifi driver.

Hi Everyone,
Has anyone else noticed that turning on WiFi via the notification bar doesn't always work? I've noticed this numerous times across different ROMs (stock too). I know there is an error because when I go into the WiFi settings it says so right underneath the heading. Is there a solution? Or does anyone know why this occurs?

I use my WiFi notification bar all the time (and have used a lot of different ROMs), but I've never really come into this problem... How often does it happen? Has it always happened? Even when you were on stock?

Not very often as for me to rage, but enough for me to go 'huh'... It was happening even on stock. The problem is usually fixed by going into the WiFi settings and turning it on from there. Very strange...

I haven't had any issues as such, but I have a suggestion, if you haven't tries this already.
Is your SSID visable or invisable?
Is your encryption compatible both on the router an with the device? (ie: Both set to WPA2 Personal, WPA Enterprise, WEP, etc...) or do you have encryption enabled at all?
See that the setting on your device corresponds to the router configuration setting.
If you're still experiencing issues...
Remove all your WiFi location settings from your WiFi connection List then perform a cache clean on the device.
Reboot into recovery and find the setting to wipe dalvik cache and wipe it then reboot the device. This will take a bit longer to boot.
Go back to WiFi settings and re-enter your WiFi settings and test it out.
As long as there isn't a hardware defect or the WiFi receiver / antenna isn't being blocked or deterred - this should work.
Give it a shot -

Hello all.
Ive searched (and unless I have no idea what i'm searching for) i can't seem to find an answer. I tried forum searches, browing through hundred of pages, and maybe its just me. Brain might be exhausted but here it goes. If it has already been solved then thank you in advance.
I HAD the VZW tab currently running the 2.5 alpha CDMA. After playing with it for a while I decided to go back to stock firmware because I wanted my 3g. The weird part was after factory reset and everything my baseband is now unknown and it can't pick up a signal. When i click on wifi I just get an error message. I tried a complete going back to originial stock with no root as per (i forgot to attach the link to the thread) but i still do not have service.
Under mobile networks (where there should be an option for GSM/CDMA/AUTO, that option is not there.
The activate with Verizon option isn't available that is supposed to be above wireless and networks.
Ive done factory resets, wipes, uninstalling voodoo, tried to updated modem.bin but it keeps failling.
Any suggestions?
Okay i managed to figure out wifi. I guess my mac address changed and i was using mac filtering on my router. Didnt know that address changes. Anyways anyone know how to get data back? I feel its in my modem.bin file but it keeps failing when i uploaded one that i found from a VZW tab
same issue I have
Wow I have same issue as your. Expect it is Sprint Tab. My tab couldnt pick up a signal and i tried to reuploading Modem.bin but it fail too. Let hope we have a solution
wow would not expect the mac address to change after a flash, I know that you can make it appear different >:¬}h
Had the same issue with phone, and had to manually input the ap settings from the carrier, but that was it, sorry for stating the obvious but did you try this?
The iemi and the mac adress can be changed by flashing. The data is in the system/efs folder.

Oh i know that but thought it was by design and not the event... New to me if it was.. I use additional security in wifi at him and by mac address and did not have to change... Interesting if this is the case

I experienced the same with my SGS (GSM), though I also changed the CSC. All that was required to solve it was to manually reenter the APs.

I was shocked too. I thought the address was hard-written into the chip too. I had to change the address in my router too.

I guess I felt that way too because i really only filtered computers at the house and no matter how many times i formatted I always had the same MAC address. Glad that I figured that one out so I at least can use my SGT in wifi mode. Now the issue is trying to get my data back on (Verizon) since I'm paying for it. *sigh*

I did but no one had any information to give. I was transferred 3 times. Oh well. Since I am practically running a wifi tab Ill just re update to HC Alpha 2.5 just because I like the interface better. Hopefully if someone can find a fix ill take it.
So my phone partially uses the wi fi,cant open sites or for example doesnt show icons in google play store,had the same problem with my iphone,but i changed the settings to static ip mode and then back to dhcp and everything started to work,did the same to note,first time it worked,but afyer restart it went back to partially working again and the static thing aint workibg anymore! Any1 else having the same issues? Ps it works perfectly on all other wifi and i have a pretty fast internet so i doubt its internet speed problem

Sounds like your router settings are borked and not allowing full access if it works on different Wi-Fi without issues..
I have made a reset on my router,no change,weird thing is that everything works on my iphone,i simply dont understand this mistery,i know that the GN is perfectly fine,maybe someone else has experienced a similar issue?

I have a rooted but otherwise stock Samsung Galaxy Note ICS
baseband n7000xxlpt
kernel 3.0.15-n7000xxlq2-cl605927

build IML74K.XXLQ2
Since rooting it, its unable to connect to previously unknown networks (even open ones), but connects happily to the net connections establishd before the rooting.
Has anyone any ideas where I can look for a fix please ?
Thanks

Or
Long press on the network you want to change, click 'Modify network config'
Then you need to change the 'IP settings' pull down box from DHCP to Static, otherwise the rest will remain greyed out.
Hope it helps

Thanks. I'll try the static IP idea, but its not detecting even open networks, since the root.

No joy. I still can't connect to new networks. There's some activity when it sees a new network, but nothing happens
what rom version?

What security is your WiFi using? I've seen issues with either WEP or WPA, Can't remember which. Whichever it is, you might try to change the security type to get it to log on.

yeah I think it was WEP problems in webos
my touchpad don't see any wifi, the little icon in the status bar don't light up. i'm the original os and i'm stuck at the setup page because i need the wifi to set up everything.
When you say that you're on the original operating system which one do you mean as there was 3.00,3.02,3.04 and 3.05.
Have you tried webOS doctor.
When was it last working?
Might also be worth turning off all security on the Wifi temporarily and see if it connects. As others say a little more information, which WebOS, and whether you have doctored, etc recently.
Hi guys! Can you help me out! I installed several MM Roms, as i can not connect to certain wifi networks. I installed many of them to troubleshoot my phone. I have no idea why i can not connect, why it stucks. . It stucks at obtaining IP adress. Before i first install the marsmallow on 5.x.x series i was able to connect to any wifi network (obviously if i had the network key), but now i can not connect to my workplace wifi, also at my friend. At home it is all OK. All networks are 2.4ghz. Other then this i can not see 5ghz networks. i saw a solution for that, but most adb drivers are for x86 even if it says its for x64 systems (or either im too noob, buti can not install them on win10). But the main issue, which pisses me off, is the problem with 2.4Ghz networks. Does any of you have any solution for that. Furthermore, have any of you faced this problem before??? Thanks anyway!

Yes, i tried that, thanks. The problem doesnt seem to be the encryption, as its passes through. The issue is with obtaining IP address. Maybe in MM they changed the way that DHCP(IP address obtaining) works. If i can not find a way to change that, i will have to revert back to Lollipop.

Oh! I see... that is a pitty! I'm thinking in advance to Android 6.0, but i hear several issues about it. So, meantime I´ll keep android 5! Hope you finda solution, best regards.
Hi Guys!
Accidently i found the solution for the issue. I share it with you, in case if anyone interested. If you tap 5 or 6 times on the build number, you'll be able to become developer. After this you go to the developer options, then scrolling down, you'll find an option to revert back to Lollipop tipe DHCP. If you tick that, you can connect to any wifi network. (in case if you have the network key) You'll no longer stuck at "obtaining IP address"... Hope that helps
