I9000 no gps, no wifi and bluetooth desperate! - Galaxy S I9000 General

Hello to everyone
I just bought a I9000 from a site and i noticed that i dont have wifi well in means that sometimes i can see wifi networks and sometimes i cant...if i try to conect to it it says remembered and besides that it doesent try to obtain ip adress or things like that. After trying several wifi fix-es like FXR and wifixmanager and going from 2.1 to 4.1 i just cant figure out what seems to be the problem.
The problem with the bluetooth is that i can turn it on but i cant find devices and they cant see me neighter....wifi and bluetooth modules are the same in i9000 as far as i know.
GPS doesent work also as i triedon every rom to use it and i cant get signals...i got 3 signals one
I MENTION THAT THE I9000 HAD NO 3BUTTON RECOVERY AT FIRST SO I FLASHED A CUSTOM BOOTLOADER TO MAKE IT WORK....SINCE THEN EVERY SOFTWARE INCLUDING DONGLE SOFTWARES SAY THA BOOTLOADER IS UNKNOWN.
i WOULD REALLY APRECIATE IF U WOULD HELP ME

Ok lets see if we can get thru this step by step
The device may have been opened by the previous owner and the antenna contacts might be bend.
If you can install 'wifi analyzer' from an apk you should be able to see the wifi signal strenght.
If you google for the apk you will probably find it, also check the images on google on what kind of signal you should be looking at.
If you see almost nothing, while standing next to a wifi router, then I would open up the back which is fairly easy. A couple of screws (don't forget to take out the sd card and the sim) and use like an old visa card style thing to open it up. A couple of youtube videos are available.
Then I would take a look at the gps fix thread what the contacts look like.
It will also help if you post pictures of the wifi analyzer and contacts.

I already opened the phone and looked at it and everything seems to be alright well atleast acording to the videos i looked at...every antenna is at its place and i dident see any remains of the previous owner opening it. i cant post pic of wifi analyzer but this is what i see

Well that doesn't help us further. Why can't you do a screencapture of wifi analyzer? Most, if not all, you can capture screenshots of what you see on the screen.

Here is a picture taken but itt seems i can make a good screen shot cause of the app puting an icon there ill

Doesn't even look like the program I asked you to run.

well i guess u where asking for something like these but since i cant seem to see wifi corectly its hard to make a snapshot i cant seem to see the wifi conections now but from thosesnapshoots i make it seems the phone sometimes sees both networks
went out stalking wifi networks this night and i seems to see every network with wifi analyzer but cant seem to see it with the factory wifi app....i took pictures but the phone dident seem to save them so ill make them tomorrow .....dont know what this is......do u think that a full factory flash from samsung could make the phone come back to live in terms of conectivity????

It all seems a bit strange. Do you know why the person sold it or did he/she tell you anything?
First thing I would check if you have a valid EMEI number and back that up for sure! Takes 2 min. Take a backup on a sd-card and on your computer.
I would flash a stock 2.3.6 just to check if that works like it should before I would start playing with custom roms.

I tried to flash almost everything even going back to 2.1 stock rom and the problem still remains so i really dont know why this is happening it seems that the phone sees the networks but cant or wont conect to it on 2.3.6 it doesent even show the network in the factory wifi searcher only in wifi analyzer in 2.1 it shows the network but saies that saved network and doesent even try to obtain IP adress.....i dont know why he selled it it was on a site on licit with full box and acccesories and it great shape like if it wasent used at all. My friend works at a phone repair shop and he looked at my EMEI which is valid and we flashed every stock rom he had and i flashed everything i can get my hands on ICS JB but still the same stuff

Then I think you have bought a completely broken phone. Might have some use as a mp3 player now.

well i talked to some guys from my countries samsung partner and they saied that it seems to be a bootloader problem and they can do it with jtag and the phone wil be fine.....still waiting for any recomendation from u guys and ty for the help so far......ill keep u guys in touch if i get somewhere maybe someone else needs help in the future

To me,it sounds like. It sounds like you have a bad modem. Check that, replace it with something that works in your country. Flashing back to stock really should help.

From the image you had posted first, there is No modem, and No phone number on your phone, as well as no bootloader ( which is silly ) as without it it won't boot .
What you can do, is do a very very clean flash , meaning you format /Wipe everything at least 5 time, including formating your Internal SD card ( you will lose everything, IF you failed to save them first to your PC)
Flash a JVU ROM from My Android Collections
But First powerdown, pull out Battery, SIM CARD, and EXT.SD card, press power
button for a minute, than powerup without SIM and Ext.SD Card, after flashing and reboot , insert them back
Tips before Flashing:-
Backup all your important files, contacts, SMS, game data, images etc to PC or
Ext SD card. or make Nanadroid Backup If you have CWM
Backup your EFS Folder to PC or Ext SD card
Enable USB Debugging on Phone. Touch menu> Settings> Applications> Development>
Charge your battery to more than 50% before you attempt any sort of flashing.
Disable Samsung KIES when using Odin. Kill Kies.exe, KiesTrayAgent.exe, &
KiesPDLR.exe using Task Manager on PC
Use only ROM and solution for your model and Wipe x3

Nothing helped so far. I did everything what i could have find. Seems like i need to find a replacement and change maybe the wifi and bluetooth module to see if its that the problem, or find a sucker who would buy it in this state.

Did you really do exactly what xsenman posted? It just doesn't make any sense.

O2 Xda Stealth, Wifi card not detected.

Hi guys,
Inherited a Stealth few weeks back but i realised that the Wireless option (to turn it on and off) doesnt work, nothing happens when i try to turn on my wifi, so i did a hard reset, but after the hard reset, it doesnt even detect or show up my wireless options. Any ideas guys?
What ROM are you using ??? I had a similar problem with my stealth for over 6 months after upgrading ROM....I tried every thing including careful changes in registry ....the problem was only solved after downgrading to the original ROM more than once ....I still get minor problems when WIFI wouldnot load but works after repeated soft reset ....I suggest you try to soft reset few times an see if this solves the problem....best of lucks....
hi man,
Thanks for replying.
I am using WWE_RM061208. Everytime i restart the phone it says, "Unrecognized card in slot" i am assuming this is the wifi card? any ideas? which version rom should i be using? It asks me to enter the device driver/name or something. thanks.
The unknown card is the wifi card....I used to get this notification daily for over 6 months when the wifi was not working .....Try soft-reset few times and if the notification disappears then wifi should work.....Is your ROM Original or cooked???? have you upgraded the ROM at all??
HI man,
Yes i have upgraded the ROM from www.mwg.com but it doesnt really do much, some of the settings still are around. Any suggestion which ROM should i use? What ROM are u using man? I tried soft reseting a few times but it doesnt work, it still comes up.
The ROM from mwg is original and I used it for downgrade from wm6 (YUC)..... is the wifi working when you hard reset the device ????....I used yuc wm6 but because of wifi problem there, I downgraded from mwg and then upgraded again to yuc wm6 from here

Hello All,
Since a fortnight, am observing strange problems within Network (clogs) and Virus Attacks on my Internet Cable based connection. This is a 256 Kbps line.
Problem I can see is:
a) A script or attacked is launched from a remote server/machine. It's domain address is 222360.com. Attacks happened from union.222360.com, s.222360.com and now with v.222360.com.
b) Once the scripts is launched (.js script), it gets hooked within my browser (Firefox 2.0.0.11).
c) Then, my internet activity will be disrupted severely for some time!! (can't open any page). I am using "Adblock Plus" within Firebox to block this script off.
d) Is there is no script, an attacked is launched on the open HTTP ports or on Yahoo Messenger.
e) Ultimately, an attack is made in form or Trojan or Exploit to gain access or to steal information from my system.
I can see the following logs from the NAV 2007 firewall.
I have similar problems with my stealth..
But worse...
My wireless manager only shows Bluetooth and Phone..
No more Wi-Fi thing..
It happen when i downgrade it to WM5,i got it from mwg..
When i'm using Yuc's WM6 sometimes the wifi works,sometimes it doesn't..
So i decided to downgrade it..
But now i can't use my wifi anymore..
I've been Downgrade and re-upgrade it like 4 times and that long processes did nothing for me..
Anyone have similar problems?

I had a similar problem with wifi for over one year . I had to down and upgrade my stealth 3 or 4 times and finally worked alone after repeat soft reset ...another problem is that you may see wifi icon but doesnot work on pressing it...try removing the battery for 6 to 12 hours and restart again...now at this time I did soft reset for my stealth and the wifi didnot load but iam sure it will work after few hours or tomorrow
First of all thank God,because sending this guy(Yuc) to us..you gave a new life for our O2Xda Stealth,like a candle shining in the dark..Trilions thanks to you.
Actually i would like to ask somebody's help about ZiIME.CAB.. i deleted phoneime.dll but still can't delete zisip_Opt.dll.. it said "Cannot delete file ZiSip_Opt:the file may be in read-only memory,on a write-protected disk,or currently in use by another applications"
is there another way to delete this file?
Secondly how to kill "cprog.exe" in Task Manager?
Another silly question is can somebody upgrade O2XdaStealth GPRS Cellular Data Link to 3G or 3.5G..or is there any Booster for Internet connection?
the 02 xda stealth camera. it was its quality built-in GPS receiver, CK3300 adds navigation functions to the benefits of the CK3100 kit. It enables the driver to access wirelessely NMEA-0183 standard GPS data via Bluetooth . Those Data can be used with all Smartphones or PDAs. The GPS output may also be utilised with the Route 66 navigation software for Symbian mobile phones, allowing not just house-number precision navigation but also up-to-date traffic information.
After almost 9 years from this post, my stealth is still alive

problems with settings-connection

Hi
I flashed a new rom on my x1. now i wat to set the connections. SO I choose Start-settings connections. so i choose the first field, set it as celular, next, then I should smack in the number, i write it, but then after writing the number pressing next it get stuck.back, also I typed the number and then there is no go.
Any idea why? I smacked in jacks newest rom.
Pls help
Thank you
H
this is strange because if I for example go for web sfr which is my provider I cant go online neither, nor can I switch on data in the communication manager
Anyone any idea what this could be?
Thank you
H
I had this problem with jack's ROM in that it wouldn't connect to the internet even though i'd manually pasted in the settings. For me it was fixed by changing:
start/settings/system/regional settings
to England/GMT as the ROM sets it to US.
Soft reset then I could connect again....dunno whether you have the same problem.
Hi
Thx for the tip, I will check it, because like this its rather nerving.
I had massive problem with Jacks rom, thats why I dropped it and smacked in another one.
I dont say they are bad, just to many problems with them.
Thx, I will reply and let you know if that did the trick.

Gsm signal issue

I have my sgs for 2 weeks now. GSM disconnects around every 2 days.
At service mode (*#*#4636#*#* - Phone information) i can see this repport:
GSM disconnects:
====DATA=====
State: inactive
disconnected with last try
at 00:59
fail because No Error
The question is: why does this happen?
Is this an android issue or a hardware problem?
Any pointers?
Thanks in advance
.
do you ever enter a building, subway, or some other location where the GSM becomes poor?

That's not the problem.
Gsm disconnects just like that ,at home for instance. And when I notice that and try to reconnect (settings- wireless networks- mobile networks - networks operators) it doesnt find ANY of them.
Then I restart the phone and gsm network is back.
If I dont notice disconnection in time (so I can restart phone, people just cannot reach me....quite frustrating...
i see what you mean now.
yes, i've noticed that on mine too, but.... that's because i was fooling around with some new Apps Widgets settings i was testing to control the radio and data to save battery.
Did you install any new Apps recently that might cause that?

do you have an old sim card? i had a 3g sim card that wasnt even 1 years old and replacing it fixed connectivity issues on my nexus 1 and i had a similar experience with my old htc magic

Well I installed all kind of apps. but i have the feeling this problem was happening even before that.
And I dont need widgets to control data ( I think) because I set the sgs to use 2g networks only and I dont have apn configured( section is empty. Internet connec. only via wifi.

Well, my sim card is VERY old (2002) and the carrier (Telfort) is roaming into another carrier's network (Kpn) with no extra costs of course like real roaming, but still roaming (I get the little "R" next to the signal strenght bars)
Anyway this never happened with the Nokia 5800xm running Symbian OS and using the same sim card...
Starting to get pissed of with Android...
With Symbian you hack or root or tweak because you want to, not because you NEED to like with Android....
And then you prob. get side effects...
Thank you guys for your time
I would get a new sim card if I were you. Every android phone that I have had seems to work better with a good 3g sim.
Get a new SIM card.
same problem, different phone
i have the same problem on kaiser with flashed android on it.
sim is 2 years old, and now suddenly this happened, tried differents sim cards, but the problem persists. My guess is, it is a software problem.
Maybe i will report when I flash original WM6.1 rom onto it, if you are interested in the result
btw, this happened about two days ago and because of this im buying galaxy s so i hope the problem will be gone with new phone

Why you think the problem will be gone if it's still android and I also got it with my sgs? Or are you counting on Froyo?
Yesterday I upgraded my sgs to froyo jpc with kies. I am new with Android but the post of Aery was so clear that i didnt resist: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=769400&highlight=froyo+upgrade
I did get stuck on reboot but could get out of it after applying a cache/data/factory reset on recovery mode (3 buttons)
Now I am being carefull with the 3rd party apps., and so far so good, no gsm disconnections .
Froyo is of course better that eclair but Android is still disappointing to me.
You flashed Android onto a WM device (i'm impressed); could you not teach me how to flash Symbian onto my SGS?
Voice dialing (over bluetooth or not) and proper connectivity control (network, data, gps and bluetooth) of android is years behind Symbian; and such a well written, light OS, it will just fly on a high-end hardware like the sgs; but that is an issue for another thread.http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?p=7938430#post7938430

I think indeed that's not the same issue. My problem is that the radio signal get turned off during inactivity. That's why I got connection back after reboot: radio signal gets turned on again; later I learned how to turn radio signal back on without rebooting, but that is just a remedy , no real solution.
Try to upgrade to froyo, make a factory reset and be carefull with 3rd party apps. With froyo you will need less interfering tools anyway
I dont thing that my old sim card is the problem, but i'll try to replace it anyway...but first things first
Btw dou you have 3g turned on? Cause I never...
Another mistery: When I have 3G on I see those bars (signal strenght) dancing and that "death grip" thing happening:http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=LROTHrTR92k
But when I have it on 2G only the bars doesnt move even if I strangle it with both hands.....
Please repport later how it's going...
I had the same issue, i sent mine back and got my money back, i had also tried with different simcards and resets and nothing worked.. so hopefully my new galaxy wont have this problem. Its strange that these problems are so rare though.. But as long i get it going ill be a happy man.
fourth day with JPC ( and 4 days after a factory reset) so far so good no disconnections . I think problem is gone...
Today just to be safe, I got a new sim card....the other one was too old anyway(8 years)
i have the same issue, for a few days i can't get 3g. i'm seriously wondering about sending back my sgs. i've ttried all the settings, changed my sim..nothing...begin to think it was a fullish thing to change Desire to SGS..

Well... this is not the same issue.
I have 3G (WCDMA) disabled. I only use 2G (GSM) and WIFI for data/internet connection.
I Dont have a data account, I dont need it therefore I disabled 3G in order to save battery.
If you do want to use 3G, just go to settings - wireless and network - mobile network settings - network mode and set auto-mode (GSM/WCDMA or 3G/2G)
If it doesn't work, apply a data/factory reset and try again.
And if it doesnt work, it's probably hardware related and you should return it or send it for repair.
My issue is more complicated; next to the fact that I dont want to use 3g, my carrier is roaming to another network and probably Android OS or the firmware cannot handle it properly.
Android is still premature and the "Samsung - Android integration" seems to need a lot of development as well.
It is just a shame that basic functions like proper connectivity control just wont cut it. And Google is not doing any good either.
And dont let me get started on the voice recognition issue......
Hardwarewise, the SGS is superior that htc desire.....I wonder how it would perform if running Symbian^3 OS or Meego.....
I get a great sound quality from the stock music player just by mixing the equalizer and using the music clarity effect...just great...better than any other device I tried.
And the OFFLINE Gps experience is just great as well: the combination SGS - Motonav - External Bluetooth gps device is working like a charm.
I wouldn't change my sgs just yet......
yesterday i was swiching sims to determine if is a sim fault and suddenly i have my 3g/h back. happy owner again. i've tried all to do this, from firmware upgrade to servide mode settings..i don't know why but i'm ok again...

Hello,
I know its been a long time since you wrote this thread but I just came by it!
I have the exact same problem with you (I had it since August) even now with the official froyo. I tried factory reset and no new apps (that could cause the problem) but it still disconnects randomly in GSM mode. However, when I have it on auto (gsm and wcdma) I have no issues. I just disconnect data from the power button in froyo. I am wondering if you ever found a solution..
Chryssa
Well, I am subscribed to this topic so I saw your post.
Good and bad news:
First the bad one: No solution yet, it keeps disconnecting IF I stay on "gsm only".
And the good (or a little better) news:
I noticed that on sgs, using "gsm only" or "gsm/wcdma (auto mode) makes no difference on battery consumption....
By the way, this is a Samsung issue, not really an Android one.
On a HTC Desire HD, you can use "gsm only" mode with no problems...
Thank you for your answer!
I noticed that about the battery too. So not too bad, I just have to keep it on auto mode then..
Same issue
Im having the same issue but in a optimus t the worst part is that i cant get service at all.. when i press change network preferred it wont change and when i try to press on turn on radio it wont work either....

my phone is completly useless due to this problem... plz help

also if somebody is willing.... then i'll upload my backup... plz download it and run it on ur phone to see what the prob is...
It may be just that your using HSDPA(3G+)
Go to settings > Wireless > Mobile Connection Settings > here there should a option for WSDMA or GSM, it's set to Auto normally. Try set it to GSM. Some places don't have a good connection to 3G and therefore your calls keep getting dropped. All this means is that your mobile data connection is gunna be slow but you should have a good connection. You could change it back anytime.
I've seen a few people report poor data connection for voda india, using the method below should be fine, but then it's a real shame because you are not getting the full potential

Since 3G is yet to be implemented (Or rather, just being implemented) in India. All services currently use the GPRS Standard. Setting it to GSM only shouldnt be a problem.
BTW, I am using Vodafone India since the day I got my Wildfire, and have zero issues with it, be it with normal telephony, Vodafone Live, and Vodafone Mobile Connect. (And the required setting in my case is set to GSM/WCDMA Auto)
@pyroblazer, did you wiped cache, data, factory settings etc before flashing ?
yes i did do a full wipe...also im not using 3G...
@f0xy:- what method are you talking bout???

Zero'ed my IMEI,HELP! iphone personal hotspot & ilex RAT

Well I am without signal & have zero'ed IMEI.
I assume the # on the card cover is the imei, 15 digits.
I flashed the wrong radio & have done a full rsd retsore to ...94.
I will try this next. I have all the components lined up for Win7 64bit with parallels desktop/Mac.
This process seems not to work on the 926. Has anyone tried this or anything else on the M?
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=49943124&postcount=109
Thanks to all for your consideration.
Edit @cellzealot what do you think? Sticky Wicket?
Edit
I am using my resurrected iphone 4s as a phone & hotspot tether for now.
I thought I might share some info/issues about it.
I am on ios-7.0.6 and while I hate the keyboard, Bluetooth-connectivity & browsers, the voice recognition for dialing (not to mention Siri) is better than the M. Also the stock "personal hotspot" is lame. It refuses to reconnect to the M after a call & at other times too. I tried insomnia & it seems to help. You must keep to hotspot screen open to keep a connection. But you must, !, close the same screen to get the off button to stick off!!
ILEX R.A.T TUTORIAL
As to restoring cydia apps when re-jailbreaking there is nothing as good as ilex rat (& source saver too).
Yet ilex puts a springboard icon that is terribly misleading. The app is to be run from mobile terminal. And as such it is good. You can create a .zip of all your .deb files, move them off the phone with iexplorer then use the same to put them in var/root/Media/Cydia/AutoInstall. Unzip with ifile. Remove zip. Reboot.
Did you try the method described in the RAZR HD forum using EFS Professional to write back your IMEI?
That tool has the function to convert your IMEI into the proper little endian format for the hex data.
Have you tried just reflashing the fsg.mbn and modem?

Yea. Both in the xml's : ...94 & 4.0.4.
.... tool has the function to convert your IMEI into the proper little endian format for the hex data.
Yes. seems to write but does not.
It is read only. How to find a bit to flip?
What about
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=15993492&postcount=81 ?
8035 or any other seem may have a lock bit?
What about the Op's version?
I did get 4g working on 404!

It may help me understand better if you explain exactly how this occurred. You say you flashed the "wrong radio" using CWM.
Which radio and how did you flash it in CWM?
Do you have QPST installed and know how to use the Software Download client to make a backup .qcn file?
If so, have you made a backup before when everything was functioning?
If you haven't made one, try running one now with no SIM installed and save it and send it to me so I can take a look at it.
There are a number of other NV Items involved that may affect the issue and that is one way to dump and examine them.
You say you got 4G working once under the ICS radio? That should not be possible without a valid IMEI.
Sorry, but I have many more questions than answers at this stage.
The 8035 NV Item for unlocking the MIP profile only affects CDMA/EvDO 3g authentication and the values are read from the SIM and written to the MIP at boot when USIM based authentication is enabled as it is on these models. The IMEI is not referenced at all in the MIP profile.

I can recovery restore to 404 & post a ss but I am on my iphone, activated right now. If it is such an amazing anomaly I will.
I was mostly interested in how it happened.
The fact that it worked at all indicates the IMEI isn't actually blank or 0s but can't be read by the radio properly due to some other factor.

my xt907 got this problem too...
I made a mistake flashing KK radio onto JB ROM, so when the phone turn on, it won't get any network signal, and then i realize that i'm flashing wrong radio, i tried reflashing with JB radio... it works, got the signal... but when i'm check IMEI status it show 0...
the reasons i'm reflashing radio, becaused the phone show "restricted access changed" after i'm turn on airplane mode for more than 24 hours (i was going hiked)...
i have to turn off then turn on phone again and find places for good signal, otherwise the phone show that message again.. this message show almost everytime when i'm turn on the phone, it's really annoying... and i can't find the reasons and the solutions for this problem on internet... and this is weird, after flashing wrong radio and my phone IMEI show 0, the message "restricted access change" it's only show if i'm going to places where the signal are really weak (it's should switch to 2G when 3G signal are weak, but it's not)..
how can i recover my IMEI back?
and how to fix "restricted access changed" ? i think this is bug, last year i was going hiked and bring xperia miro, i'm turn on airplane mode too for more than 24 hours.. and when i'm turn off airplane mode, it's never show that message...
many thanks in advance.

You can't on the 907/926. The data field is not writable. I got Droid Maxx.

I know, that field is not writeable on XT907...
i'm looking for another solutions... and i think this problem is tied with network carrier it self too...

i can use internet connection, but looks like GSM (related to voice and text message) is out of service...
but i have not try to use text messaging or try to call from my phone...
and here's the capture...
is anyone here ever have the same problem?
