Samsung i780 Wifi problem - Upgrading, Modifying and Unlocking

Hi,
I bought Samsung i780 and I cant create a new wifi connection.
When I go to Settings > Connections Tab > Wifi >
there's no option for New connections.
When I checked the Version of my device, the wifi section is blank on all 3 options...
Can you help me figure out this problem?
Thanks,

anyone here with the answer or have experienced my problem?

Give us more info
Was it always like that?
Where did you buy it from? was it new? do you have warrenty?
Did you flash any ROM onto the device?
If it came that way fom the seller it may be that the Wifi element is defective and should be replaced.
It may also be that the ROM radio part was flashed and messed up by the previous owner or by yourself if you flashed the device.
can only assume with what you give us...

I bought it new here in the Philippines. When I came home to open the box, I tried to create a new Wifi connection and there's button or option.
When I go to Start > Settings > Connections tab
I see the Network card/wifi... and it has a list, one of which is Samsung 802.11 wifi card (swl-2.)
on the left soft key is Edit and on the right key its blank.
When I try to open Wireless Manager, I only see 2 options. Bluetooth and Phone.

sounds like a defective unit?

The network adapter tab in Wifi refers to, I believe, the device driver not to the actual HW.
If in Settings->System->Version You don't see the SW and HW version or MAC address of your Wifi (IEEE 802.11 b/g) card, then you should definitely replace it at your dealer's

May be the wifi application does not load....have you tried soft rest????....... this problem happened to my xda stealth after Rom upgrade and worked latter after repeat upgrade....

Click on the signal bar for your phone this should bring up a diaoluge - then within that - click on "wireless manager". If wifi is unavailable in there or you are unable to turn it on by clicking on the wifi tab then I'd say you have a defective unit.

hi joezhang...
i did what you said and wifi is not showing up as an option. it only has bluetooth and phone. it must have been disabled or something. but i cant find any fix on the web...

It's either been disabled (which is odd in an unlocked phone) or it's just plain faulty - I'd take it back to the shop I think.

i went back to samsung only to find out that they don't have the software patch. i want my money back...

If they say it's a software issue, and don't have a solution,
you may want to consider flashing your device with a full ROM (eboot+pda+radio) that you can find here.
(latest full ROM image posted is DXHC4)
If you have nothing to loose (warrenty wise), it may be worth a shot.

The wifi just disappeared in mine today, did you have any luck getting it back yet? I've tried flashing various combinations of ROMs and no luck so far - only 7 days left before I can't send it back!

It persisting on GPRS connection
Hi there,
Although my wifi is working normally, my samsung i780 still persist to connect to GPRS when running some applications such as Windows Live or Messanger. It is unlike the HTC mobiles, this is really causing me to ask for a solution if any!!
Regards,

Guys,
I'm about 1,5 year late with this answer, but today, i use WM6.5 now and have the same issue. It is caused by SPB Phone Suit, which if installed, no Wifi connections tab, only the above described card selector, and no wifi.
As soon as I remove the installation of SPB Phone suite, the problem is solved.
So it is not 100% a defective Wifi item...

verizon touch and gps...not working after flash

I have read dozens of topics on flashing and gps for the xv6900. I flashed using imcokes unlocker, the new sprint radio/rom and finally omjs rom
now I went into my phone settings (via start - settings - phone location and set location instead of 911 on)
I use gps viewer and open google maps but no gps. should I try returning my location setting to 911 and then open gps viewer? I mean this should work but no go
and yes I have googled and search ppgeeks and xda vogue upgrade. no answer. can I get some help
For the first time, stand outside on a sunny day and be patient, it took me about 3 days to finally get it working solid. Keep the "Location On" setting, I don't think it will work with "911 Only"
okay I did get a satellite (5 really) on google maps 2 days ago outside but nothing since. I will try again but flash and everything was alright it was perfect even just weird. but I find my mogul as well did not pick up a gps signal either. that's weird
I don't use GPS a lot, so no guru on it working, but GPS Viewer, built in the ROM I'm using, picked up various sats for me. I used GPS Viewer first, only to see how well the GPS was in fact working, it seemed to be like a meter on muchsignal it was getting. From what I've seen, if you flashed it wrong, your Vogue wouldn't even turn on, so that shouldn't be the problem. There's really only a few things that come into play when getting it to work so check this:
"Location On", like you already have,
System Settings > External GPS:
"Programs" tab: Port "COM4"
"Hardware" tab: Port "NONE", Baud Rate "4800"
"Access" tab: Check "Manage GPS Automatically"
These settings may come like these as default on your ROM.
I've also seen one reg edit that may help:
HKLM > Software > HTC > SUPL AGPS > GPSMode
Try changing from 2 to 1 or 4, helped some people I believe.

How do you mean by it boots up like Alltell? If you see an image with their logo, it doesn't mean much of anything, it's only an image, you can change it. But it sounds like you ran the RUU (ROM Update Utility) to install the Alltell ROM, which is a key step in upgrading the ROM. But did you unlock it first with ImCokeMan's unlocker, version 2.31 I believe?
Also, press & hold the power and camera buttons, then soft reset, it should but you in a multi-colored screen, the bootloader, what does it say?

[Samsung i780] GPS cannot fix on any satelites

Hi,
I am new here and just bought an i780 in S'pore 4 weeks ago, running on i780DXHD1 (Radio + PDA). I have been trying to use the GPS for weeks using the bundled NavFone but it always could not fix on any satelites. In the signal strength, there is no single bar appear. I tried MapKing, it is the same. When i checked on MapKing GPS data stream, it is always empty. when i checked on the dailpad, the GPS logo is active(not crossed). When i turn off the GPS application, the GPS logo is inactive (crossed). With this, can i assume the GPS hardware is working? But why no data stream? I have tried turning on XTRA, but it is the same. Below is my configuration:
[NavFone]
Software Port GDP1:
Hardware port COM9:
baud 4800
Windows managed: yes/checked
[MapKing(trial)]
Software Port COM8:
Hardware port COM9:
baud 4800
windows managed: yes/checked
Please help.... Thanks!

co6ra,
First off, you need to stand in an open space before you activate your GPS. I uses Agis software too, and based on my experience when you use it the first time, the signal tends to get a little longer than usual. At times, it can even be over 10 minutes before I get a signal.
To assist your time to get the signal, I would advise you to use the Enhanced GPS found in your settings>system. Clicked on the enhanced gps and select Enable in the XTRA Enable. There is no need to select Auto Download (that is, Disable).
This would mean that the device will also use the base stations to assist in finding the location of your device. Of course the downside to it is you will incur GPRS charges.
Try it and see if you can get the signal.

Hi,
Thanks for your reply. For the past 4 weeks, i have been trying all sort of methods; standing at my aprtment balcony, in an open field, in a bus, windows seat, etc. all with at least 30 minutes. When i was at home, i stood at the balcony, turn on my wifi, and kept downloading the XTRA. Sometimes, i cannot see any bar at all; sometimes, i saw a lot of bars, with different PRN number, but all empty (strength 0), and kept changing, but still no fix...
help....~~

I thought GPSGate is some kind of port sharing program? Both NavFone and MapKing is able to connect to the GPS unit, it just could not fix. Is it possible that the GPS is locked?
Anyhow, will try on GPSGate later. What is the recommended configuration?....
Thanks!
Installed GPSGate, and found that now MapKing is able to connect to the port and receive data. When i check on the GPS stream, it always appear to have the first line with data(some figures deliminated with ","), but follows by a few line with empty data (no figure, but a lot of ","). When i checked GPSGate, the status of the input port is always "GPS data but no position". I have tried just now in an open space, clear night sky, for at 40 mins, it still cannot fix on any satelite....
Help!...is this something to do with hardware?

Since you have not flashed to any custom rom (I hope you did not) why not send your device back to the SSC and lodge a complain that the GPS is not working at all.
If they say nothing is wrong, ask them to demonstrate that the GPS is able to lock in the signals.
I know it is frustrating to have features and yet not working. It can be a case of hardware issue. Let's see how the SSC can help you, since yours is still under warranty.
I wish you would be able to solve your GPS issue. i780 is still a great phone. Let us know how it goes, okay?
ya...i am travelling now and expect the GPS to work....should have not trust it will work out from box. will visit the SSC when i am back to S'pore 3 weeks later....

According to http://gpsinformation.org/dale/nmea.htm, GGA is one of the most important stream to provide location data. From the log, it seems like the GPS is not able to calculate the current location at all? What is wrong with the GPS unit???...
Ya...i have been trying to put the GPS on everytime i am outside, in total, i think i have tested no less than 10 hours, but still no luck....
co6ra,
From the looks of your log file, it seems that your GPS chipset might not be working. Those coordinates that you have should come from the base station of the phone.
I tried it indoor, and it seems that there are satellites showing, but just could not get a fix on it too (But then, I was indoor).
Your log file might be useful, especially when you bring your unit back to SSC for service.
P/S: My settings are as follows:
Enhanced GPS XTRA is enabled but Auto Download is disabled.
When running NavFone, my settings are as follows:
Don't worry about the external GPS settings, just leave it as it is.
I will feedback later when I am on the balcony. Please be patient.

Yes, what you said is true, the GGA data is the coordinates of your device and determine your location.
I have sent the same log to Agis and Samsung via emails. Waiting for their reply. Hopefully they can solve this by next week, so that i can use it when i need it most as i am travelling to Malaysia now.
BTW, do you guys think that this might be a locked GPS? Anybody has any ideas? If so, how to unlock?
Locked? what do you mean? It shouldn't be and it should work right out of the box.
i am not sure also...read few article on locked GPS topic, which they key in a code to unlock/activate the gps unit.
No luck. Samsung Singapore support does not even want to reply to my email....
Just happen that one of my colleagues travelled to my local office. Has switched back to my old BenQ P50 and let my colleague to bring down the unit back to Samsung S'pore. They claim that it might be a software issue and saying that they are going to flash the latest ROM to see if it helps.

I went through this same thing, I now have Tomtom7 running perfectly and getting a fix in seconds.
It is highly important that you have a working Sim card, correct GPRS or EDGE settings and that XTRA is Enabled!
Use GPS Gate stock settings! ie. prior to running GPS Gate goto External GPS and select com2, then run GPS Gate and use the wizard and let it find Com2.
GPRS/EDGE should try to connect automatically if not then switch it on, exit and restart GPS Gate. Be patient on the first fix it can take 5 mins, it should not take this long though.
Wait until GPS Gate shows that dark green icon in app tray and has a valid position, once it does then execute your GPS software and use (Franson Virtual com 1) default comport generated by GPS Gate.
GPRS/EDGE can be turned off after GPS Gate shows that it has your position and this need only be done once. This has worked on Omnia after many many hours of failure and frustration.

Probelm with WiFi

Hello there,
What I Have: Att 8525 Herm100
Rom: Att's Mobile 6
Everything is stock but the extended life battery
The problem I am having is when ever I try to activate my WiFi the phone doesn't do anything. I am not sure if there is a wifi card or not but that's want I want to know. I have tried everything from activating it in com manager to going into the settings and activating it manually and nothing happens it acts like I didn't even hit the button to activate it. Is there a wifi card in the phone or is it integrated on the motherboard in the phone. Note: I bought this phone off e-bay and the wifi never worked when I received the phone.
I am new here and if there is a post about this already I am sorry.
I hate it when that happens.
To begin, there were two ATT OEM WM6 roms relevant to the 8525 that I noticed deep in the bowels of XGA.
I chose the later file (higher revision numbers) I found it here:
http://wiki.xda-developers.com/index.php?pagename=Available Original Shipped WM6 ROM Versions
From comm manager when I click the tower button on within a second the spinning windoze icon shows something is happening. It then starts "sniffing" for my preset wifi connection (ATT supplied 2wire portal 802.11g).
Now, if yours does not show the spinning windoze working icon when you turn on wifi? There obviously is a problem. This could be software, or hardware related (duh). If there is no error message related to "wifi is not an option, unavailable, or screwed" then my first guess is there is something missing or damaged in the ROM update that was applied to your device. As far as I know all 8525 (herm100) were shipped with wm5. It had been mentioned in the volumes of xda that the first AT&T WM6 rom was a little buggy. Try the later released AT&T WM6 update.
It was a run file so no muss no fuss. Sync the phone run the update from the pc, three minutes later the phone is flashed to ATT WM6 professional.
You could take it to a ATT shop? But, I think that without a doubt they would hand it back and say you need a new phone with a 20 year contract and 3g data plan even Obama would blush at.
Try the hard reset. take a picture of the startup screens so you have the numbers and see if the wifi startup is working after the reset. If not then compare the numbers to the above mentioned roms. If the indications are you have the first issue of WM6 from ATT try flashing the second release. If that still fails then your device could indeed have a hardware problem.
The wifi is indeed built into the system and if that chip on the board is not working it could be a overly expensive problem. Possibly a shop has a working board they would swap out cheap? Otherwise, it is a fun phone you can keep notes on, run gps software if you have a bluetooth gps receiver and software like tomtom.
To be honest the wifi on my 8525 has been convenient when around the house to check the local weather radar when I hear a thunder outside, or browse headlines from the porcelain room or even leave messenger turned on incase a gamer friend is looking for someone to get shot up in a game.
I have used the live search voice thing to amaze the neighbors once. But, the limited range of wifi is a real drawback to how truly wonderful that addition could be.
HELP Please! Wi-Fi not working!!!
Hi to XDA all users !!!
MY Hermes - HTC TyTN [Herm200]
I bought HTC Hermes myself year ago.
there was flashed a WM5.0, I've just downloaded from here HARD SPL & WM6,1 (Custom) Flashed.
Wi-Fi will works on WM5.0.
Well here I am at 6.1 flashed and now is not working Wi-Fi. When i pressed Power ON - loading long and nothing happens.
Other methods are also tried on Commanager and Settings - but did not help.
What do I need to do my dear.
HELP!
Thank you for your attention!
Hi Nurk.
Since the wifi worked on wm5 but failed after the 6.1 flash. I would guess the problem is in the 6.1 components. You might start with contacting the kitchen rom you employed for WM6.1 thread and see if this has happened to others. Next step would be to check the radio rom version. I did see on xda an assortment of Radio roms.
If your not totally in love with the current rom you have flashed? Try another 6.1 or even a 6.5 and see whats poppin.
and what you have in HKLM\Software\HTC\CommManager\WLAN\DeviceName?

[Q] How to connect to hidden WiFi?

Hello xda community!
I have a strange and serious problem: I can't connect to hidden WiFi's.
I'm with a LG G3 D855 10H (no newer versions available).
At work we use a hidden WiFi without password but with Juniper VPN.
When I type in the network name and save it, it tries one time to connect, then my LG G3 shows "not in range". After a few seconds, the WiFi is on the top again with a very good signal.
When I try to connect again, it shows "not in range" again and so on.
I tried it at home and created a hidden network and it was reproducible.
Anyone else has problem with this?
Many thanks in advance for your help!
Best regards,
Jake

Now that is what you call a 'special' post!
Would you care to explain how it was resolved for the people that have the problem.
My problem still exists, but isn't urgent anymore.
I found out, Android itself have problems (or restrictions?) to hidden WiFi networks.
I also found an app names HiddenSSID Enabler, but it seems it didn't work for me (or G3?).
If someone has a solution it still would be very helpful fo rme and the rest of the community.

I have logs posted in my first post, WIFI DESTROYED TWICE or there abouts.
I've had to resort to DATA and its killing me haha i think i am getting close to fixing it, well i think i may be closer than you two and can one of you kindly take the lead as im reinstalling windows and i haven't gamed in 6 days :|
/system/etc/wifi/WCNSS_qcomcfg.ini
then the problem is complex but i am sure it is something to do with gEnableApProt=1
Offshoot fix, reinstall using googled imei number that doesn't have a flag or some how fix the flag <READ A FEW DAYS BACK>
I think actually the program that stuffed me was Airmon by maxters. It asked me if i was pro and of course, i said yes. Who would simply click no? I know a ninj wouldn't click no. I think there is a manual reinstall to link to it again i find the modem in its own partition having a chill, most likely trojan/backdoor and pwning everything around me.. I had three encrypted vpn backdoors and escalated accounts on my computer I paid the 5$ for the binarys, i think i paid 5$ for the back doors.
Not to sell Airmon out though.. Rooting our phones and accessing countless forums and websites really does leave us rather "xposed" some other cuplrits may be dsploit, ROM manager, linux Deploy/kali, Pamn IP scanner, system app remover pro, busybox pro's (Stephen/JRummy) or CMinstall/accessing the forums and trying to install cynagenmod / twrp recovery. I'm probably going to go with..... Airmon/Linuxdeploy or uninstalltool. But may have just been my IP logged and i hit a booby trap script along the way.
You guys done anything of the sort?

Neither I understand what you are talking about, nor am I (as not native english speaker) good at "sentence guessing".
I have a rooted phone - of course.
But I'm pretty sure my WiFi is not destroyed...

LG G3 searching WiFi but won't connecting.

Hello, I have non-typical problem with my LG G3, it sreachs WiFi networks, but when I tap on my WiFi networks it show on one second "Connecting" and... nothing. I tried with a lot of wifi networks in my work, home etc. I've tried hard reset and Android upgrade to 6.0 30C, nothing helped me. I've search on the Internet and didn't found simillar problems. Any ideas?
Regards!
Hey buddy I found myself in the same boat as you and a few of these other peeps in the Q&A with the issues concerning WiFi. The 3xception is that mine occured after frolicking mindlessly in Hidden Menu land galavanting about with no concern as to what the hell I was changing, bolstered by an almost psychotic illusion that what I was doing would somehow enhance my connectivity with the possible addition of a kinetic-energy based super power.
Seriously though - I did eventually retrace and undo almost all of what I originally did (mostly just checked or unchecked the many boxes in the IMS and related settings) and got my gps, bluetooth, and wifi to turn on and scan. However - I had already lost (never had) IMEI, (my phone was a purchase off Amazon that was bojangled from the get go - perma-locked and such) So I used the CRC MID wizard and rewrote my addresses and IMEI. It was there I noticed my country stuff was @ open_eu and I am in America - dont know if that really matters but didnt really look into it because I was on the other mission of righting my wrongs. Somewhere in all of this my adb.boot deleted (I noticed the toast when trying to enter modem protocol settings and one or two others) and so I believe that may have been why I was not able to boot into twrp but to boot up regularly(?) temporarily at least because after putting it down and walking away to ponder on it earlier this morning I used flashify to try and restore a nand of a stock debloated 20f rom, and well, we have seen where this was going all along....
Fastboot mode started is my lone response from my D850 save for the ability to enter hardware control mode (where it does show the IMEI took hold the CRC wizard wrote, so I assume the WiFi address and BT addy inscribed with it would be fairly legit. I took that leap thinking maybe they should all be established at the same time. I know many of you are shaking your heads and yeah I get it, I knew not to touch shiz so in essence I knew what I was doing - jackin it up...)
I know that was a clusterbomb there but having taken a little while to reflect on how insanely stupid all of the stuff I did was, especially so very extremely and freaking ignorantly at the same time all without making my usual notes, I am now ready to climb back on that horse and resurrect her from fastboot mode. Which looks pretty damn right up a dark alley as far as how much I know to do... Heres to XDA as that lone streetlight at the end of that dark alley for all the morons like me!
So what I was wondering is are you O.G. wifi mac and bt addy intact o are you having the issues I and a few others are where it was showing 02:00:000:00 or whatev? And just an advisement (which we all usually mostly follow, right? ) to record and back up your original settings/files/etc. and do whatever it is one at a time - I am cometely anxious and beast mode on this problem so maybe if we all friggin collaborate and get some documenting what does and doesnt work a decent and legit fix can be found and a guide written....
And speaking of after this I am making a guide to the acronyms you come across in Hidden Menu land... I will post any help I come across and hopefully a few people get energized and amped up to tackle this gnarly beast. Lets go XDA troops!!!
