!! Missin' WiFi Over a Year !!

I'm not exactly sure when the wifi stopped connecting to any external devices (since I don't really use it) but I was just curious if anyone else has had the same problem.
Basically it will pickup routers/whatever, notify, ask for pass key (if needed) and then try to connect for about 3-4 seconds, then just say unavailable.
I can get multiple connections popping up for wifi nets in different physical areas to connect to etc, but they all do the same thing. It's been about a year I believe since I could connect to anything. Wouldn't mind using this at school.
If this has been answered, oooooops. I'm sorry guys but there were just too many noob posts to look through while searching for this.. Sorry folks, peace!
btw i've went through dozens of roms over the time period all same outcome, problem internally somehow perhaps?
I believe I saw you post that you are now on XPlore 2.0. If you still don't have WiFi then you have hardware issues.
i think some roms have a problem with either wpa or wep security

yes I havent been around much anymore, nor updated my stuff. It's all good, no biggy, I gotta let the wizard go in a couple months was just curious. Thanks all!

Inconsistent Connection - sometimes unstable?

Hey i have a 32B UK Vodafone Magic running Cyanogens 4.0.4 stable rom and have had the magic for about a month now.
For some reason my phone randomly loses connection - both 3G and 2G, the drop down notification will just say "No Service" and will only usually restore if i turn on- and off airplane mode.
There are also often times where ill be browsing the internet or the market and while it'll tell me i have 3G/2G, it wont actually "connect" and download/upload data e.g. the market will often tell me it has no connection and web pages will randomly not load, getting the "webpage cannot be found"-like error for no reason. wouldnt be such a bother but it seems to be a daily occurance that spoils an otherwise amazing device.
Is this a common problem? does anyone know how i can solve this if a solution is available (i thoguht it may be to upgrade the radio but i dont know how and ive heard its possible "brick-territory")
hope you guys can help
Hi there, this is getting to be a well known issue on the Vodafone technical forums.
http://forum.vodafone.co.uk/index.php?showtopic=25796&st=0&start=0
have you read this and posted there?
Would be good from some feedback on here too from "the experts"
I'm having the same problems with my phone: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=556843
So far, turning off 3G has stopped it, but that's not really an acceptable long-term solution...
as you say, disabling 3g is not a solution to the problem encountered considering the device and its expected use, its connectivity should at least e stable.
i did not know about the thread on the vodafone forum and read through all of the posts, there didnt seem to be any strict correlation between the other guys devices and the problem itself, some had diff radios, some likely had flashed roms (but theyre not exactly going to mention that on a voda forum).
thanks for the help regardless, i think im going to do some testing of custom ROMs and some of the radios/SPLs to see if one of them may fix it. though again i dont think its a probplem that can be fixed from a ROM/android update alone
I've been having this issue too, i've gone through multiple roms in search of a fix, none of them solved it though. . .
Are you guys having any other issues coupled with this? My phone also won't autosync email anymore. No notifications, then i'll check manually it will find a slew of emails from earlier in the day. It's set to check every 5 minutes, but alas.
same here with a vodafone magic. I have this prob not only with 3g even with wifi. Turning wifi/3g on/off solves this issue. Its annoying though...

[Q] HELP No mobile internet on custom ROMs

Hi, I have used many ROMs to find out what is best but after some use of most ROMs (all froyo), I have noticed that no matter what I do, mobile internet won't turn on. It usually happens after the second reboot and various methods of toggling the mobile internet fail toturn it on, even when they say that the internet is connected.
The problem is that I have decided that my favourite MOD is a 2.2 (froydvillain) and the fact that I have no internet is not helping.
Basically, can someone help or is it a Hardware fault?
-- will updating my Radio help?
Hmmm, strange. I have no idea why it works first but then stops after a few reboots, I'm using FroydVillain and internet is 100% ok.
Yeah it is always recommended to have the latest radio,... give it a try, cant hurt can it, and you can always roll back to an older one if the update causes issues.

[Q] Vibrant is not connecting to wifi networks

Hi I read through the forums and posts, but did not get a topic related to my issue. may be I missed something!!
My Samsung vibrant was connecting to wifi networks at home and office properly for almost 2 months and today it suddenly started acting strange. It detects the wifi connects to it then keeps disconnecting and connecting every second. Really worried as this is an unlocked version and I recently rooted it too. But even after rooting the wifi was working fine.. No idea.. what happened suddenly Plz help..
- Venky
I'm going to assume you mean it isn't connecting at your office? Samsung Galaxy phones are notorious for having connection problems with enterprise routers, mine had the same problem last year.
The big problem for me was, that it was my school's wifi all together, and since I live here at my university, I had to go and up my data plan because, well quite frankly, you can't do jack **** with 200 mb of data.
I tried factory resetting, flashing new ROMs and kernels to no avail; however about 2 months ago it just started working for no reason and has continued to work since.
Good luck.
Thanks FLAC... Like you said... It startedWww working automatically. Very strange...

Very Slow Wifi - barely useable

I bought this phone for my gf it has a GLOBAL version 10.3.5.0 stable, everything is nice with the phone but it has one problem with home's wifi.. its very f****** slow like literally downloading apps or loading pages at 100kbs.. data works perfectly, back in our other home and all public her wifi works perfectly. I would assume that is the router problem, but on my phone (onePlus6 and all other family member phones) that wifi works perfectly with no hiccups.. I have tried to factory reset rn7 via recovery, no luck.. maybe u have an idea what could be causing that? Also if i turn off wifi and turning back on, that wifi doesnt show up immediately, but it locate other nearby wifi, the home's wifi shows up like after 30sec, and sometimes it disappear and shows up again. Phone BL is locked it just few weeks old, i bought it new. I guess installing custom rom should help, but my GF wouldn't like that cuz she afraid to loose camera quality, so im kind of with locked hands for custom, also one guy in reddit said that switching to custom didn't change situation.. damn the phone is really nice. First time in I have such a problem:/
It downloading instagram for 2hours... Its insane, browsed all the web, some people having exactly same problem, and can't resolve it they having different model of xiaomi redmi notes. I just can't believe it that nothing can be done in this case when it works on public wifi, at my family home, at friends, but just not at her house...
Any help would be appreciated..
Im loosing my nerves on it ://
Is your router dual band? If so, look for your wifi ID in your list and then look for the name of your wifi with "5G" after it. Try connecting to that. That's the 5 ghz band. Supposedly i's not great for going thru thick steel walls, concrete, etc, but I never experienced any of those issues.
