Wi-Fi Error - Motorola Droid Bionic

How many of us have this issue with their Wi-Fi? I'm being told the issue is software related, and to wait for the update.

are you rooted?
if its not a rooted or flashing related problem. i would call cc and see what they can do
the only time i have had that issues was changing roms on my evo

[Q] wifi keeps switching on and off

Hey all,
since a couple of days I have a problem with my wifi, it keeps switching on and off (I can see the checkbox activating and deactivating, every couple of seconds, at the moment it is unchecked and says "error")
as I said, the wifi worked before
I am running cyanogen 7 (http://android.doshaska.net/cm7) on Milestone
- But I have also tried MIUI, with the same problem
does issue sound familiar to anyone?
Maybe it is an app which force turns my wifi on/off, is there any way to check which one it is (as far as I know I don't have an of them, eg juice defender, tasker installed)
Many thanks
Have you tried other WiFi networks? Because the same error being reproduced across two different ROMs seems a little unlikely.
Well, the problem is that my wifi doesn't stay on long enough (just a couple of seconds) to scan/connect to any network.

So it isn't a problem connecting to a network, it's a problem of the wifi not even being able to turn on?
Well "technically" it does turn on, but it switches off immediately

wow, i just logged in to search for this issue myself. I have that same issue across multiple roms also. The one that did work was the Telus Lite Eclair. I liked that one, but of course I wanted to check out others. Each one was the same as you describe. Wifi scans, disconnects, scans, in a loop.
I have done searches on google for wifi disconnect loop android, and seen some stuff about kernals and stuff that is over my head at the moment. If some one has an idea on how to get it working that would be great.
I wipe before any install, I've went back to stock and it works, everytime I went to the Telus Lite one it also always worked. I dont know if theres a clue there or not?
Im on an Telus milestone in Canada, on Telus network if that makes a difference.
And since I think this is my first real post, Thanks for the work guys.
Not sure if this would work, but this is the first result that popped up: http://www.droidforums.net/forum/koush/75782-wifi-disconnect-loop-cm6-final.html
EDIT: People are saying that Hidden SSIDs and MAC filtering can cause problems when trying to connect to the WiFi network. Try forgetting the network, making the network visible(protected if you wish) and reboot the phone and try again.
ok, time for a stupid question...
where do I find suitable kernels?
I can't find anything about this (roms and kernel tweaking is a is pretty well documented though)

As far as I know, you won't be able to change the kernel on the Milestone at all, due to the locked bootloader.

a little update, I checked my settings on my router and there was nothing really out of place. For poops and giggles I installed Shawdowmod, and it works with out issue with my wifi. Go figure. Anyway, think im keeping it.
Thanks for the help.
hmmm, good to hear you figured it out.
I just went back to stock and guess what? still nothing
maybe I'll try that rom and see

[Q] Problems with WIFI, failure to initialize

Hi
Just yesterday i started having trouble with nmy wifi...
When activating it it fails to engage...
Im on v10c 0606, anyone else had this problem?
To rectify i have to restart the phone. then it works until i turn wifi off again..
I occasionally have the same problem, and yet to find a solution. I just put it down to LG's crappy software and general incompetence. Hopefully an update will fix it, if we ever get one.
Me too. The WiFi wouldn't initialize and if I went to WiFi settings, the message 'Error' was under the enabled check-box. Only reboot helped.
I've been having the same problems since a couple of weeks after I got the phone, I even tried a reset and didn't install any apps, but it didn't help. After about 2 days of "uptime" my wifi stops working, have to turn phone off and on again to get it working. I got the C upgrade yesterday, it's still working, I guess I will get the answer over the weekend.
You got the 622 update?

I installed to 10c 622 upgrade yesterday, got it with the upgrade option on the phone. I bught my phone without subscription from Elkjøp, and have Telenor business.

Internet just cuts off sometimes

I think I made this topic before.
Sometimes the 4G internet just stops working. I will be loading and a page and I can't open up anything else.
Turning the browser off and back on does not fix it.
Switching to 2G network does not fix it.
This only applies to my 4G from Rogers. I am in Canada and usually this can happen in a general location. I was with my friend yesterday and his internet was still fine (different phone NOT WIRELESS).
Usually I can fix it by turning the phone on and off, but that takes a few minutes.
Is my phone defect or something?
so I am the only one with this issue?
It has happened to mine but only a couple of times. Running V20P, but my borwser crashes all the time

Happens to me all the time.
Happens to me too): can't wait for a new phone.

so it must be a problem with the Thrill then.
I don't use root anymore or custom ROMs.
This is stock Rogers gingerbread upgrade with LG updater.
Even before on froyo 2.2.2 I had this problem once in a while.

[Q] Tethering on 4.3 HTC One Google Play Edition

After updating to the 4.3 OTA update on my HTC One (originally Sense, but converted over), I can no longer use tethering on the device. The OTA update when through by itself and didn't require me to flash the ROM manually.
Other devices will connect to the HTC One's Wi-Fi connection perfectly fine, but can't access the internet. It was working fine before the update and I do have tethering on my Fido cell plan (I tried the sim in an iPhone 5 and the tethering works fine). All of the APN settings are the same from before the update. I've tried different APNs, but that hasn't worked either.
Anybody else seeing this issue with either their genuine Google Play edition or converted Sense HTC One running 4.3?

I'm on Rogers and it's working just fine for me. It's a converted HTC One by the way. I'm not running a true GE ROM. But it's a custom GE ROM. Sinless 3.1 To be exact.
I did have the exact problem you speak of before though. I simply wiped out all tethering settings and re did them. I've also switched to Bluetooth tethering instead. Seems to work a little better for me than the WiFi hotspot.

I've got an issue with tethering, nothing I do seems to work. It works on 4.2.2 though
I just posted this in the general GE talk, but I can't use my WiFi after using the native tethering.. its like the native program isn't restarting the WiFi drivers properly

Unfortunately, both Bluetooth and USB tethering don't work either.
Scratch that! Crazy. Last night I was tethering and right while I was Bluetooth tethering it just stopped. After an hour. And now I can't ever get it to work again. I guess I'm joining in the crowd that can't.

I'm unfortunately in the same boat. If I slap the SIM card in my other phones it can tether effectively, I'm guessing something changed in 4.3?

I just thought its crazy it was working for an hour and then all the sudden it stopped. I even pulled a logcat of when it doesn't work it and the dev can't see anything wrong. I'll even attach the logcat here to see if anyone can find anything. You'll have to look for the tethering labelled sections unfortunately i didn't trim it down.

I don't think you're crazy. I believe it's specifically to do with tethering while on LTE. I have it working on 3G/H+ without a problem
Sent from my One using XDA Premium 4 mobile app
I couldn't get it working for either. I typically only use H+ and shut off my LTE. There is a fix though for this.
IMO this thread should almost be a sticky as this affects many many people! Here you go:

[Q] Plex Client not working on Sprint

I've searched for awhile on this and can only find fixes for old HTC devices. The official Plex app works fine over wifi but not over Sprint's network. The thing I don't understand is it works on my tablet (Moto Xoom CM11) when tethered to my phone. As far as I can tell this only occurs on Sprint (XT1056). I've also noticed IheartRadio crashes on Sprint but not wifi. Any ideas?

Are you rooted with Xposeed? If so, you can try the method listed in my guide here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/moto-x/general/how-to-xfinity-tv-app-verizon-3g-4g-t2822906
Basically all it does is 'trick' apps into believing that you are on WiFi. It will be interesting to see if it resolves your issues.
Thanks for the quick reply. I tried that when the module was released and tested it again today but didn't have any success. Any other ideas?
