Hello there,
As a newcomer, I found out these foruns filled up with great information and guys willing to help, so came here to ask for some help ....I am both excited and dissapointed with my brand new Milestone. Bought the handset about 5 days ago, which came with Android 2.0. Then updated it straight away to version 2.1 via "Motorola Software Update". So far so good ...here´s the problem I am facing :
While connected to wi-fi or 3g(issue is easier to notice due to 3G icon at the task bar, which points out in those small arrows data that is being sent/received) phone stops to receive data out of the blue. All connectios are cut off(it also happens when the handset is locked up). Some basic trouble shooting i did:
- tested all pcs connected to the same wi-fi network. No issues detected for these
- reset wi-fi router configs. Didn´t work
- tried other wi-fi router. Presented same issue
- swapped another carrier chip to test 3g connection. Presented the same issue
- tested my GSM chip on ther phone. Worked properly
- Reset phone to default settings. This time the connection took longer to drop, like 30 minutes, instead of the usual 10 minutes. After the first drop, it´s started behaving the same way again.
It seems pretty much that there an issue going on here (obvious...hehehe). I am considering the following:
- Might be a software issue. So, right now i am downgrading it back to 2.0 version, check if it works properly and then move to 2.1 hopping to get the issue fixed.
- Use retailer warranty and claim for a new phone =/
Could you guys help me out ??
Thanks in advance and Best Regards !!!
Guys, after downgrading version to 2.0, phone stills presenting the same issue. I think it´s turning into hardware issue =/....does anyone have a clue about it?
Thanks and Best Regards!!!
So I have a Nexus One (AT&T/Rogers) and recently rooted it and installed Cyanogenmod 6. Since doing this I have been unable to use wifi on my phone, it connects and has a good signal but web pages simply wont load. Will updating the radio fix this?
Radio has nothing to do with WiFi. Kernel does.
I have not been able to find anything that would help me fix this. Could you please help me? My problem is really odd, the wifi says that it is connected and i can do basic stuff like Facebook and engadget but I cant browse the web, download apps or watch youtube. All of this stuff does work over the cellular signal.
Hard to say anything. Are you sure the problem is on the phone side? Did you check other WiFi networks, have the same symptoms everywhere? Did you check other ROMs? Did you ask in CM6 thread?
I have tried several wifi connections but not other roms. If anyone does have another suggestion please post.
Hi,
I recently updated to Froyo using the registry hack, i was on uk orange jf3 before.
Since being on it i have constantly been struggling with the 3g and the network signal, at first i thought the 3g was disconnecting when i turned the wifi on but then the network signal starting disappearing and it would show the circle symbol with the diagonal strike through it to show that it was not picking up any networks.
I read somewhere that cycling flight mode might solve the issue, but for some reason once i turn on/off flight mode it just hangs at that stage and will not change until after a restart.
I have also tried formatting both the internal and ext sd cards and i have done a factory reset twice.
Nothing has helped, it connects to 3g initially (which shows that it shouldn't be a setting problem?) and the network signal is also fine initially but then after a short amount of time or inactivity or switching on wifi the 3g won't connect and the network signal just dies.
If anyone has any ideas as to what is causing this or how to fix it i would really appreciate it.
Having a phone that can't make or receive calls when i need it to is really f'ing me off.
P.s. I have read and searched other topics for help on this but nothing so far has helped.

Yer i read your post, what i don't understand is that it was totally fine in 2.1 and now in 2.2 it's messed up, not sure if that is the same for you?
I think it is something to do with it being for Norwegian users not UK and that somehow affects it.
I have checked the apn and it all seems correct, do you also have the issue with flight mode not working properly?
Just found this on an internet search...
: Samsung Galaxy S v2.2/Froyo update
Posted: 5 days ago in response to: stefan
Some news on the update to Android 2.2 for the Samsung Galaxy S. Currently we are making some changes to get it working better when using Orange signal, and are therefore looking to release the update by the end of November – obviously this is a delay on our original release date but we hope it will be worth the wait!
Kind Regards

Not sure exactly what that means but it sure sounds like this might be the problem i am having.
I would be interested to know if other UK orange users have been having problems?
I would also like to know if it is possible for me to go back to to a previous version so i can actually use my phone.
I am orange uk, and have similar problem at home, but works well at office. Maybe it is due to the barrier of signal. if the signal level is lower than this barrier, only emergency call can be.
I do not know how to do but my friend advised me to update the moderm
Ok since nobody will notice this problem on i9001 general topic on i9000 category, i will make a new thread here.
How do fix this problem ? after a long sleep, like 1-2 hours, wifi will automatically drop and 3g won't properly connect.
Also, Google Plus app can't be deodexed or installed either, so it gives crashes.
How do we fix these ?
Here use the xxkp4 modem http://dl.dropbox.com/u/63588663/SMD_MODEM_I9001XXKP4_CL374422_REV00_user_low_ship_EMMC.rar
Somebody with kq7 please try them and tell us if it's working.
But couldn't we have the modem from xxkq1 ? i am on kq1, just tell me what files to extract and i will make an archive.
I need these files in the "normal" version too (not at .smb format). Can anyone help?
i don't seem to be having the wifi issue... is there any other way i can test to see if i get the issue just to see if there is an isolated reason for the wifi drop...
Edit: just so you know it is XXKQ7 and i did factory data reset from privacy menu in settings after initial boot... and i haven't changed any wifi settings, it's not rooted either (kept it unrooted to test this wifi issue)...
check this thread guys maybe will help you a bit abt wifi probs ...
Nah, it didn't help me.
Tbh, i'll wait for Samsung official Value Pack ROM for us, since KQ1, KQ6 and KQ7 are beta.

Prior to this thread I have searched online for days:crying:.
My link speed when i connect to a router is normal , about 65mbps then after a moment it drops to 5mbps or even 1mbps. The download speeds are less than 100KBps.
I have tried many different routers, they are not the problem.
Even when using wifi file transfer softwares like 'software data cable' the speed is very low , about 100KBps , which used to be 1-2 MBps. So I infer the problem is with the phone itself.
I have tried factory resettimg, flashing stock JB , even stock GB , still no luck.
My friend has an s advance, with no issues. I compared my wifi config files, tried copying them to my phone.Still no luck.
The only other explanation to my problem I got is maybe its a hardware issue.
So guys please help me if i can try anything else software related.
I am sorry if I said anything wrong.
guys PLEASE help. I depend on Wi-Fi heavily which is available in my college. so I need the issue fixed urgently!
