[Q] Wi-Fi and Bluetooth not responding

Hey guys. First of all I want to thank you all for detailed information and in advance for helping me I've got a really weird problem that I can't solve. I bought my milestone from a guy(second hand) and I found wi-fi and bluetooth is not working. I thought that I can solve the problem but I can't find any solution over all android forums.
I flashed some different ROM's but nothing affected the Wi-Fi and Bluetooth problem. When I try to Turn On Wi-Fi it tries to start and then stops then again starts, it goes on and on. I tried to find original MAC address it shows 00:00:00:00:00:00. I tried to Mac Spoof but I can't change it from terminal.
And for the bluetooth I click Turn On then it tries to turn on and stops like I didn't click anything.
As a summary I lost my Wi-Fi and Bluetooth. Anyone can help me restoring it back to normal? Cause in my Area 3G is unstable and I want to use my home network! I can't use it any more. I'm waiting for the good responses.
Thanks in advance...

Please help. This is important for me... If someone helps me I'll donate 15 USD from paypal. Thankssss...

There are several possible reasons why it's not working. They include:
Bad hardware.
Corrupt software.
Non Stock Firmware.
To eliminate the last two, you can flash the appropriate SBF.
To do this, follow the instructions on how to get your milestone back to stock here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=696845
On the page to get sbf, scroll down to the 2.1 section and dowload the latest version for your carrier
This will completely wipe your phone, and make it like a new phone. If that doesn't resolve the issue, the problem is probably hardware related.
If this worked for you, please donate the $15 to xda. You can do that via http://forum.xda-developers.com/donations.php

Thanks for quick-reply. But i tried this one before. But it didn't solve this issue. I'll try one more time... How could hardware (both bluetooth and Wi-Fi) be bad? There must be a way to return it back... I'll update this as i try again the original file...

I'd assume that the same chip runs both as is usually the case for embedded systems. If the original firmware doesn't work, the it's likely a hardware issue.

I tried a new update and bluetooth worked for once. And then stopped again. And I sent to warranty they said they cannot change all mainboard cause it'll cost near phone's cost. And after I see Bluetooth works for once I thought may be it's radio based problem. How can I update the original radio update only? Thanks in advance...

I have got exactly the same problem.
I have already sent it back to motorola under warranty and they changed a few things. It work for about a day and then exactly the same.
I thought the update to froyo would work, it did for a day and then reverts back to the same problem.
Have you solved this yet?

[Q] Wifi - problems..

Hi,
let me thank you for all the help you may give me.
The problem is i get stuck on obtaining ip address or the cell doesn't even try to connect automatically so i have to manually start the wifi connection to the network after turning on wifi.
The problem of my SGS not connecting automatically is rare, the first is not, it's actually quite often.
I looked through all the guides and sugestions but i couldn't find any permanent solution for this problem.
Note: I've used the AllShare app but sometimes even that doesn't work.
Thank you for all help

The same problem kept happening with me. Some of the fixes which I tried were
Change channel on router - didnt work for me
Use the allshare app first - worked
Set up a static ip in advanced settings - almost always worked
But I have found that I didnt have this problem with other routers, only mine, maybe because of a power problem with the router.
Many of baffling errors are usually caused by bad input power to devices.
Hope it helps

Thanks for the reply, the problem is that i use it alot on my university, where i can't do any changes to their router (or use static IP).
Also the AllShare app is indeed a fix, but only if used every time i think. I'll do some more testing, this problem is really annoying and that's a shame because it complicates the use of most of the smartphone capabilities.
So if anyone else as another solution i would be glad to hear it.
Also i'm on stock rom installed by my operator Vodafone (had the same problem on JPY).
Edit: After a very quick test, it seems that using Allshare once does work, but i had the impression that sometimes it would be needed more than once (even without rebooting). TY for the tip.

Update:
After some more tests i came to the conclusion that at home i need to use AllShare every time i want to connect to my network.
This seems to be a problem affecting several users of SGS, does anyone know the answer to this problem? Or at least an app that minimizes it?
It's quite bad and very frustrating. Thanks, for any and all help.

I had the same problem with stock Android 2.2.1 on 3 phones all Galaxy S. Dropping the packages on voip calling, internet was slow most of the time. I use a linksys wrt54g with dd-wrt, I never had problems with any other devices.
My problem was solved when I installed GingerReal. Also on Miui I didn't had any problems with the wifi connection.
Maybe is just the stock driver incompatibility with some devices.

Thanks for the reply,
I've only had bad experiences with flashing, last time i did everytime right and Odin just hanged, i almost had a serious problem in my hands.
Since this is probably the first and last good phone i'll ever have, i would really like not to kill it (also some people in my family would be very disappointed, it was a gift).
So any workaround? Sorry i'm so insistent but i think that are a lot more people interested in this. TY.

XXKQ7 WiFi Problems

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.

[Q] Yet Another wifi ICS issue

Hey peeps, ti me for my first post.
Well i upgraded tO stock germanICS a couple of days back. Everything was working fine until yesterday. WiFi is behaving weird, i can connect with no probs at home but i've noticed that the download arrow from the WiFi icon on status bar is on and off all the time, draining the battery faster than expected(e.g. rom 100% to 65% 3 hours almost no use). So i spoke with a friend of mine, kind of a geek, he told me it could be so me kind of compatibility issue between ICS and old router's firmware. So i went to a bar nearby to check if i could reproduce the same behaviour and everything was working normal.
Did Anyone here had anything similar? I've been surfing to do so me research, but all i've found is so me peoples probs with WiFi not connecting at all and some sII users withe their WiFi module broken.
Thanks in advance!

Also...
I´ve read somewhere that a factory wipe solved some wifi´s peoples probs. As i´m under german ICS LPY i know i´ll be likely bricking the note if i wipe, what leads to teh next question...is it possible to flash a kernell(without the bug) without being root?
Cheers,
VR
edit
So i´ve been reading quite some info about franco´s and speedmod´s kernels, and it´s so confusing for starters.My last question remains , is it possible to flash those for a non rooted device? Anyone that is running it tried wiping? Results?
Thx again
Edit 2
After some research i now know i need to root for any new kernel flash, as i read my post i´m starting to feel i´ve lost my head somewhere, so bear with me, hehehe. Also found out some people tried wiping with franco´s kernel with no probs, so i almost have the info i was looking for. So, in case i go root and get franco´s kernel up and running, do you think my WIFI issues might dissapear after wiping?

I have the same bug...with wifi also the os android buy draining ny battery so bad...im on stick rom gb 2.3.6 with the ssme oroblem....any solution?

Wi-Fi dropping constantly

Hi Everyone,
As title says, a few weeks ago I noticed that my wifi keeps dropping no matter what I do.. this being as i surf and not in sleep mode or anything like that.
How did it start?
when it happened this is what i did, went to GB rooted rom, flashed up to JB room paranoid android, all worked fine except i noticed wifi kept dropping, tried another jb rom ,same thing, tried ics kingdroid rom, same thing. So then I decided to go back to original official stuff GB, same thing.. wifi dropping, went to official ICS, still wifi keep dropping.
What I have done to try to fix it:
Tried different roms, networks, all settings in Wifi settings. Googled like 3 days straight, mostly this seems to be a galaxy s3 problem not a galaxy note problem. A few people said they solved it by giving it a static ip which wouldnt work for me as im on like 3 different networks, and by changing sleep settings to make sure it doesnt shut off during sleep mode, which i honeslty have no problem with. Someone solved it by switching rom, nothing i find applies to me..
So what do I do??
I would honestly appriciate any suggestion, this is a great community so I got high hopes Sorry if my question has been answered before but I dont belive so, i posted in noob thread any noone had suggestion so I hope I dont do anything wrong with this post.. cheers :victory:

The operation of Wi-Fi is a core responsibility. Try changing the kernel. Modem is responsible for the connection to GSM. If you change the kernel does not help, you probably have a broken phone.

well i have weak wi fi signal.. Most of the modems don't work for me.. Ddlp4 is the one i use..and no the kernel has nothing to do with wifi signal strength

Check your router and see if WPA Wireless network encryption is set to AES, if it is, change it to TKIP., see if you can connect after.
Usually it's nothing to do with the ROM, modem, kernel, android or even the phone itself, it might be your router setting that needs a change.

Know it was long since I made this thread but I wanted to report result, it was as above poster said. Rouer settings, finally found compatible ones after sooo manny roms, modems and other fixes were attempted.
