Help My wifi won't even try to connect. It will turn on and i can see my router but when i click connect nothing happens. It worked when i got the phone, i used toast's root then flashed to OMJ EVO 2.1 Eclair v1.3. Didn't work tried flashing with Supersonic_1.32.651.1 and still nothing. then i tried wiping the data and delvic cache and restore with the original backup i made and i still got nothin any ideas
did you flash the most up to date radio?
I was having this problem too, it may be different. My power control would show with the green bar like it was waiting for IP but would not go the bright green indicating it was connedted. If I did it from wireless and Networks it would show "unable to connect" you can find my solution here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=699752
I recommend trying this first:
In connect bot on phone, navigate to with
# cd /data/misc/wifi/
then do
# chmod 777 wpa_suplicant.conf
now try to connect from the Wireless and networks in the settings menu. If you can you probably need to do what I did to set it.
Just one question first though, Did you try rebooting the phone? Simple things some times.
Thank you for the input. i've updated radio to 1.39.00.05.31 still does not work. Then i tried changing permissions on the file you recommended...still no luck.
When i go into wireless & networks Wi-Fi will have a disconnected below it. when i go into wi-fi settings i see my home network with "not in range,remembered" under it. After about 3 secs. it changes to "remembered,secured with wep". i'll select it and push connect and nothing happens, it doesn't even appear to be trying to connect.
i noticed something today. Previously when i tried changing those file permissions i simply did exactly what you had said. Did some looking around and the /data/ folder is empty. I did finf the file in /etc/wifi/ directory.
last night I was reading online comics and it suddenly not respond so I force it restart and it was worse. My kindle cannot recognize my touching.
It is strange that TWRP still works. Restoring doesn't helps, too.
So I wipe it all(except for sdcard) and install various cm9 and cm7 with corresponding kernels from hashcode with no luck. Cm9 is ok but without wifi. Cm7 just wont respond.
Also I tried using TWRP to go back to pure stock and wifi still not working. So I redo all the root, twrp again.
Finally I fix permissions and install cm7 aka now it's screen recognize my touching but the wifi still cannot be turned on.
Is it possible wifi chip has been broken?
Any one can help me, THANKS!?
hey everyone, do u have any suggestions......
now, as long as I open wifi it goes dead. I don't know what to do. Is it possible that due to heavy use the chip gets break down?
I was wondering what remains the same after I flash roms. Because installing zip has formatted boot, data and system.
I hard off the device when the wifi went wrong. And the application in which led to this situation cannot be reinstalled(install said OK but openning it the screen was black, still responding to button savior).
So maybe the problem lies in the internal storage that is unchangeable. Any one helps!? Or should I contact amazon CS?
Half of the old apk is probably left in data/app
Happened to me once.

But why the wifi still cannot be turned on? yes, it is when I using the app the wifi connection seems to be unstable, and I pressed the power button for 20 seconds.
Thanks for your reply.
would try to clean up the wifi configuration:
turn wifi off
look for /data/misc/wifi/wpa_supplicant.conf
open the file and delete everything except the first two lines, they are:
ctrl_interface=tiwlan0
update_config=1
Click to expand...
Click to collapse
this is for stock rom - for cm7 it has to be simmilar
turn wifi on again
hope this helps ...

Thanks all the same.
I used root explorer to search for wap_supplicant.conf since it's not in that folder and delete everything except the first two lines. (forget to mention that my wifi just shows turning on and I can't do anything, flash new roms won't help.)
Then I reboot it the result remains same.......
did you try to restart your router ?
because i have this sometimes with the stock rom - wifi tries to connect and can't - all my other devices work fine - i use to reboot to router and the kf is connecting immediately again

I'm sure it has nothing to do with my router. because I live on campus and use school wifi. wifi is in the state of turning on since booting. regardless of flashing new roms.
thanks for your reply.
just closing out all known issues ...
but nearly running out of ideas at this point
maybe something on your sdcard partition ? - i know it sounds crazy but i had a case where the fresh installed rom did not start until he copied the whole sdcard partition to computer as a backup and deleted everything (besides .android_secure and twrp folder)

I can only think of files remain unchangeable when flashing roms or wifi chip burned(hope not).
Anyway idea about the internal files with respect to wifi issues?
BTW, I didn't find the half installed app or any other files in data/app

no - sorry - maybe do a logcat and look for something that gives a hint in the right direction

actually I'm just a noob. I don't know how to do a logcat and how to find the problem.
as you can't download it from the market, attached here is a logcat program
install it and you'll see a lot of debug lines - be shure to make or let make the kf a wifi connection attempt - save the log and attach it as .txt file to the thread - i'll take a look if i can see something to track down your problem
the thing is the wifi is turning on by default. no matter what I do. do u mean use some app which needs wifi?

it seems like the wifi is still turning on so I just open catlog and wait a few seconds and save it.
puh - was a long one - did'nt find something that will bring you further

and force closes a bit later
but there is never a connection attempt - strange ...
now I wonder which files are associated with wifi status in internal storage. some files must have been changed.
im kinda curious if you find a fix. ive been struggling with terrible wifi connection with my kindle. itll turn on, but it constantly turns off then after a while wont connect anymore. just says obtaining wifi then doesnt connect just shows saved wifi connection. im almost to the point of giving it away. not sure if amazon will help me out, and i wouldnt sell it to someone if i know it has wifi connection issues. i try to reset my router and it helps for a little bit, but then goes back to the issues i had

seems like we have different issues. Mine is turning on without any connection or list of available networks. Have you tried reboot, forget all networks or so on?
Hey, I've got CM10 on my GS3. When I go under Settings, the Wifi toggle is set to Off and grayed out so I can't toggle it. When I go to Wifi, it just says "Turning on Wifi" indefinitely. I also have issues with wifi tethering sometimes.
Any solutions to this? I haven't been able to find any posts on it. I'd prefer not to reset to another ROM, but if there's no other ways to fix this, oh well.
Thanks!
Flash to a TW rom and see if it works.
If it doesnt work, try the following:

So as to fix this problem,some people suggest to do a Factory reset.But, it is completely unnecessary.Instead you can try the following methods, which where tested by me successfully.
1. Dial *#*#526#*#* to reload the wifi driver.If it doesn’t work, restart your phone and dial it once gain.It will work for sure.
2.There is an app “Wifi-Fixer” from android market,which claims to be fix this problem.But seriously,it hadn’t worked for my mobile phone(Samsung Galaxy Ace).But,
if you are interested, can download and try it here.
For HTC users, I have a pretty good trick which works very well.
When you have obtaining IP address problem,
1.Turn off wifi.
2.Open “Allshare”, then you will be asked to connect to a wifi network.
3.Then select the wifi network that you need to connect from the list opened.
Magically, you will be connected without any extra effort.This works 100% sure without fail.
If that doesnt work try this:
1.Dial *#*#526#*#*.Then a message will be shown “Driver loading Successful”.
2.Now Start the WiFi, it should work.
If the message “Driver Loading Unsuccessful” is shown, follow these steps:
1. Dial *#*#526#*#* again and click options button on your phone.
2. Select Rx test.
3. Select Channel >9 .
4. Click Start and exit.
5 . After some time, turn on the wifi.It should work.

My phone won't even let me dial that, the code disappears the second I hit star the last time, not sure if it's supposed to do that. I'm gonna just try updating CM and see if that fixes it.
Just sideloaded the Mashmallow update from 5.1.1 to 6.0 (downloaded from Google) and the update seemed to go normally - most things work as normal. But the WiFi wouldn't turn on, and it's mac address reports as 02:00:00:00:00:00. That address I know was an issue in the M Preview as a fake address.
I didn't want to hard reset it but in the end relented and loaded a clean new version of 6.0 from Google. When it restarts the second thing it wants to do, after selecting a language, is start the WiFi so it can log on. Of course WiFI won't start, and I can't "skip" so it's stuck. I tried Bad_Boyz fromXDA, and then going back to 5.1.1, and now forward again to 6.0 - same result. I suspect the WiFi mac address has been cleared. I found a little help that if I shell into the tablet, and write the mac address into /persist/wifi/.macaddr I might move forward. I know how to do this, but I can't shell in with adb. I can talk over USB, and run fastboot. When I connect via USB the Nexus mounts (sort of - the storage folder isn't shown when the tablet is at the "Select WiFi network" stage of setup)
When I run "adb devices" - I can't see any, even though I can "fastboot reboot recovery" and the like. I'm sure bluetooth (mac address) is broken too, but I"ll fix that later.
Does anyone have any idea how I can encourage adb to talk, so that I can "adb shell"?
Safe Mode
Just so you know - I started it in safe mode, which I have done before, but anyway - and the WiFi works. Also, USB debugging is presumably switched to off on a hard reset, and I couldn't log in to enable it without working WiFi. Suddenly my mac address is back. Don't really know if safe mode is the answer but it's worth trying...
To get into Safe Mode - long press on the "Power Off" question when you turn it off - it reboots in safe mode.
Hello Everyone ;
I have a weird wi-fi issue that he decides not to connect any wi-fi on his own. And if he wishes to connect he does.. I go wi-fi settings menu, tap on the network i want to connect. It says "saved" after that "disabled". And after a while, i check my phone and it is connected just fine by himself..
Here is the list i tried so far;
-I tried reinstalling rom
-I tried installing different roms
-I resetted my router and rebuilded it. Even changed my network name..
-I tried to connect other networks
-The network i try is just fine i am using it with my pc all the time
-I tried static dns/ip address
Any ideas? Please? I can't afford a new phone. I will be really appreciated if someone help me to fix this ghosted phone
