[Q] Wifi & battery issues on imilka's cm9

Hi folks,
I can't post in the dev section so I'm hoping someone can answer here instead. Searched imilka's thread but couldn't find anything that helped me. Wipe & reflash has worked for others but not me.
Wifi doesn't work for me. It worked when I activated it in the setup wizard after flashing the rom but after the first reboot it doesn't present me with any networks and it doesn't connect to the one I configured. I know the wifi device works because the mac address is identified in the status menu.
Also, battery time isn't very good. Less than half remains after being fully charged then left alone over night.
I have tried a full wipe & re-flash and also flashed the last version released yesterday. Does anyone have any tips or do I just wait for a new version? Seems weird that it works for everyone else.

Indeed, I didn't come accross any of these problems... I don't know what to say mate, might have something to do from whatever ROM you came from, some kernel remnants...but again, that's just guessing...
What I'd do in a situation like this would be to revert to a stock GB, use jBroid's kernel cleaner, and then try to reflash Chainfire's repack and back to CM. That's just what I'd do...

I'd try to do a factory reset first. That way you'll get another chance to setup your WiFi from scratch and see what transpires. If it fails, it's back to basics, most probably. Rooted GB --> ICS Repack --> CM9.

It's such a hassle to reinstall everything again.
I'm downloading a stock rom now and I'm going to try flashing the modem partition. Perhaps the modem in the chainfire repack I flashed before is not 100% compatible with my phone... Otherwise I'll just have to stick to mobile data.

Flashing modem made no difference so it's something with the ROM. Luckily I have a good data plan so I'll just leave it and see what happens in the versions to come. If anyone has an idea, feel free to let me know.
And thanks for your answers guys.

Suddenly it all works. Thank you Google. You're swell!

[Q] PROBLEM - Unstable signal after flashing Updated Stock ROM

Yes friends, I'm really in trouble my OB. Two days ago, I flashed a patched ROM to get my phone rooted through the smartflash method. Everything went OK, but short time after, I realized that my 3G/GSM signal was completly unstable.
The phone gets the signal but only for a while. Then, it loose it. Can't call, can't receive, no 3G. Full disaster!!!
So, since two days ago I'm eating every LG forum trying to find the solution, but it's impossible, no way, I'm about to throw my phone through the window.
So, pleeeaaase, could anyone help me???
From my forum lectures I could imagine that is anything involving baseband, or perhaps some network config in the service menu "3845#*970#".
My spanish network works in GSM900/1800 and WCDMA2100
I've tried to flash several STOCK firmwares with the same result: no luck.
Please, any help will be apreciated.
Thanks

First of all Question belong to Q&A section...
try a stock based custom rom like zeus, marvel or supressed or a non-stock AOSP like CM7... maybe is a hardware malfunction...

First of all, sorry about the wrong section I posted this thread, and thanks for the reply.
I don't think it's a hardware issue, because the phone was Ok before updating to a new firmware.
Anyway, after work I'll try to flash a custom ROM if no one gives me a better idea.
I'll post the result, but please, I still accept suggestions in order to solve this problem using a stock firmware.
I also have mesuared gps strenght signal with an android app, and it detects around 25%-30% where another phone with same carrier detects 75%.
Thanks, and keep in need of new ideas.
Sorry for any written mistake. My english is not as good as I wish. :·(

If you tried several roms like Zeus, and noone have solute your issue, than you should assume, that you have a hardware problem. Of course you should compare the signal strength with an other Smartphone, due their format cause a bad signal reception.
Go back to stock. I recomend this: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=18946763&postcount=1
and here pick your corresponding stock:
http://lg-phone-firmware.com/index.php?id_mod=1
other thing: In which country are you using the phone, and it is buyed there? Maybe bad bandwithspecs.
Regards!

Thanks Pacos1, the phone is being used in Spain, and also it's been bought there. (weird to write you in English :·)).
I still haven't tried a custom ROM like zeus or another one. I wanted to solve the issue with any Stock ROM, but as I have been trying several with no luck, I think it's time to try a custom one. I'm thinking about Zeus.
But first, as you've mentioned bad bandwith specs, I remember that the problem came after installing a patched stock ROM from russia. Once installed, I found out that spanish language wasn't included, so I returned to a patched stock spanish ROM. At that moment I started to have signal unstability.
So, I ask you with hope, do you know something I can do to restore spanish bandwith specs, and how to do it??
That would save my ass, as I'm really touched with this trouble.
Thanks again and hope a good end to this embarassing stuff.

I'm going to give up and call the SAT center. I've tried a lot of things for the last days without luck and no more ideas come to my brain.
I've tried Zeus ROM, it's quite good and nice, good performance, but still unstable signal. I've return to an offical ROM through LG update service and again unstability.
My conclussion is that is something about RIL and baseband, but don't have enough knowledge to solve it, then it's time to ask for official help and prepare my wallet (phone is out of warranty :·( )
End of the story.
Thanks

try to install a different version of roms custom or stocks. for example form what i know v20o roms are from spain and the v20n roms are for europe use. try some different version and you may able to find the answer to your problem

[Q] No Network

Hey guys,
Finally found the Q&A for the milestone. Took long enough
Anywho, After installing CyanogenMod9 (Or 7. This problem's occurring on both)
I can't connect to my service provider anymore. Can't even seem to find them for that matter. Anybody else have this issue? Or can somebody help me with it?
Being able to use the update would be nice.

I am having this issue too.
My Milestone was broken (digitizer) and came back from maintenance services last week so I installed the Cyanogenmod 9 nightly build as soon as I got it. I had some problems installing CM so I just got it working a couple of days ago but it is losing the signal with the carrier in places where it used to work with the Original sbf and even with CM7.
I don't always have 0 signal bars but it can't be a problem with the carrier either.
I still haven't found a solution.
I'm using CM9 nightly build 20120627 (i think I will update to a newer version tonight)

Updating to correct baseband for your country might help. Settings - Advanced - Baseband.

I've already done it. It doesn't change anything.
I have enough signal only when I'm outdoors or standing reeeeeaally close to a window.
But thank you, I think I will install CM7 and see what I can get.

[Q] Verizon service shuts down on CM9

I have an SCH-i800 that I have CM9 (p1c 9.1.0) installed on. I have been using it for several weeks with no problem. Since I am planning on going on a trip, I decided to active pre-paid Verizon service for the tablet. At first, I attempted to activate the device. It went through the phone call but after a minute, it just sat at activating. That is when I noticed that the radio state in the status bar had an X on it. I rebooted the tablet to try again and got "com.android.phone has topped unexpectedly". I re-flashed CM9 (at the time I was using 9.0.0) and it worked again. Activation was not necessary. After a day, the error came up again and radio state went to off with an X. I tried 9.1.0, same problem after a day. I even tried a nightly CM10, same problem. Reboots, cache wipes, permission fixes do not make it work. The error persists until a re-flash of CM. I see on the Support Downloads for the Verizon Tablet, there are two modem files. My baseband version is currently S:I800.0.3V.EI04. I have attempted to "flash" these both via Odin (which failed after a couple minutes) and ZIP (which looked like it worked) to the EC02 on the site, but my baseband doesn't seem to change.
So my first question is, is there a how-to on flashing as I have searched high and low on one for the Verizon Tab specifically, and have yet to find one. Is there a ZIP file that is specifically meant for the i800? I am almost certain this is my problem and that a downgrade (this tablet when stock was updated to the latest Verizon image).
My second question is, has anyone else experienced this? Is there someone that is using a CM9 Verizon tab with EI04 baseband and not have this problem?
Is there a way I can track down what crashed the program? I have tried logcat, but it doesn't appear to give me much detail other than to tell me that it stopped.
And if you ask, no I did not use the Verizon service with this tablet before putting CM9 on it, so I wouldn't know if it worked before.
Any input that someone could provide would be useful. Thanks!

Phone won't connect to network and custom roms don't work

So I think I messed up my phone.
TL;DR: Messed up phone by removing stock rom, Costume roms don't work except 1 and in that one IMEI is set to zero and I can't connect to any network.
several month ago I had the stock xperia z Lolipop and made a decision to root the device. I unlocked it's bootloader and did the rooting... all as planned. about a month later my phone started acting funny, so I decided to reset it, the problem is I had installed TWRP and as noob in using the app, I accidentally wiped the entire device. I thought I had bricked the thing so I left it aside.
I had been using an older phone as replacement until last week when I thought I'd give the Z another chance. I looked around this forum, found a bunch of stuff, tried a lot of roms and after failing to make 4 roms work (Cyan nougat, Cyan MM, Costumised sony 5.1.1 and a stock one I found here) I managed to find a fifth one that worked (http://forum.xda-developers.com/xperia-z/general/android-5-1-available-yuga-pabx-t3054304). I always followed the tutorials but I may have done a lot of mistakes... for example I'm not even sure what kernel is and if I needed to change it for any of the roms or if I needed to like wipe the entire system or not before flashing ( I did all the time), and what about rooting? does the system require a previous rooted rom to install new ones? don't we simply format the entire device?.
Now the major problem of the working rom is that my phone can't connect to it's simcard network, the simcard is working since it requires pincode on start and the phone can find the networks by manual search, it simply gives an error "network XXX unavailable". I looked around and saw that my IMEI is set to all zero's in the phone about section. this could be unrelated to the network problem... but I don't have much expertise in these stuff.
So right now it seems like I can't install any other roms (they won't even start up, most get stuck during boot) and the only one I can install doesn't give me network access.
Any Ideas?
