WiFi won't switch on - Xperia Z1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

JTried to switch it on but nothings happening.
I'd previously flashed the pimp my z1 kernel which was made for cm based ROMs, since then I've reflashed the advanced stock kernel again and everything was fine. But WiFi won't switch on, I've rebooted, reinstalled doom kernel. Flushed cache and dalvic. But still nothing. Any ideas anyone?
Mobile data, calls and texts work fine. Just not WiFi.
Any help would be appreciated, I'm trying to avoid a reinstall.
Edit: hotspot doesn't work either.
Update: solved, dirty flashed ROM. All is well again.

Happened to me too when I switched kernel from pimp to cmw stock CM11and vice versa. Even switching between TWRP from PA and cwm.
Like mentioned dirty flash is only fix. Might be the new CAF.
yup owns Z1 and stuff. Also if I've helped you don't forget to hit THANKS - actions speak louder that words.

[Q] Plane mode bug

Hi everyone.
So, this is my problem:
http://images.orkut.com/orkut/photo...9E7ePr_8Am1T1UHiPgwGpeh7tb_Dn59t24Hsb_ZWU.jpg
My wi-fi is turning on by itself after i manually turn it off. And even when i set plane mode the wi-fi is still on. At first i thought it was impossible and i was dreaming but no. This is really annoying me, my battery won't last a day with my wifi always on.
If anyone could possibly help me with this problem i would really aprecciate it! =(
Oh and i already tried wiping all user data and tried flashing other roms as well. I tried shadowmod and cyanogen too. currently i'm using the froyomod 2.7. All have the same problem. I really don't know what to do.

Do you have any 3rd party power saving apps installed? For example, I have an app called "Network Switcher" installed, that given certain conditions, it turns on or off 3g and wifi. I have it set to turn 3g and wifi off between 11:15pm and 7:15am if the screen is off. (this helps save a ton of battery while I'm sleeping)
Your screenshot doesn't look like a clean stock ROM, so even if you did wipe data, it looks like you installed some stuff. Did you do a complete wipe back to stock, and it's still doing this?
No, i don't use any apps to save battery or manage my networks. And yes, everytime i install or upgrade to a new rom i wipe all data. I haven't tried using the 2.2 stock rom to see if i'd have the problem there too. I'm currently using froyomod, i have always used modified roms and i'd never had this sort of problem before.

So when did it start happening? Did you notice it after you installed something? Or after you flashed your current ROM? Did you have anything installed before that may have been saved to your SD card using apps2sd, and it somehow got "lost", but the setting remained?
If I were you, I would flash the stock 2.2.1 SBF (get it here: http://and-developers.com/sbf:milestone221), and reflash the latest FroyoMOD on top of that. First back up all your app data using TB though, and restore afterwards. That may be your only hope.
I noticed it after i installed Froyomod 2.7, but i don't think it was the rom since nobody else complained about a problem like that. And i haven't installed any different apps than the ones i've always used.
Thank you for the advice! I'll try to flash the SBF file right now, and i will also erase my SD Card, just in case.
I'll let you know after it's done. Thanks again!!
Unfortunately i did everything as i was told and nothing worked, the problem won't go away. Guess i'll have to use the 2.1 stock rom. It's better than having my wi-fi always on. But thanks for the help!! =)

Turns out you're not the only one... see here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1064823
They did not have any solutions that worked for them either though. Sorry.
Yes, a few people had this problem as well, but nobody said if they got to fix it or if it stopped.
The most annoying thing: I went back to 2.1 stock rom because i thought it would stop, when i installed it was ok but after a few hours that i'm using the rom the problem started again.
This really sucks. I will never buy any motorola products no more.
Anyway, thanks for your help. It's really good to have helpful people on this forum.
Turning the airplane mode on will not disable your wifi... only the radio(antena).
The question is: does your radio works normally?

Yes, everything is working normally, only the wifi that won't turn off.
Ok... there are two free apps on the Market that might fiz your problem.
1) Wifi Fixer
2) FXR Wifi fix and Rescue
Try it and let us know.

I had already tried wifi fixer before, didn't work.
Tried FXR and didn't work as well! Honestly i'm giving up.
I will sell this phone as soon as i get the chance and i'm never gonna buy a motorola ever again! -__-'

Dont give up yet... have you tried flashing the GOT 2.2.1?
Try this and flash CM7 over it.

I tried CM7 and had the same problem. I think it might be a hardware problem because i tried everything. :/

Hi, I think the problem is coming from the ROM.
First you should wipe cach/data. I mean factory reset, then download a newly fresh Open Recoveries, and do the flash ROM again and place it into SD card (remember to delete the old one: Nandroid and Open recoveries folders and update.zip file). THIS STEP IS IMPORTANT.
Here is the link of CM7 ROm but very light. it si good for MS than ever:

Below is the google apps package:

I use it and it works well.

[Q] Reboots when enabling 3g (Juice Defender/Green Power)

I'm having some random reboots when using Juice Defender or Green Power.
They work fine but at random, when they enable 3g/wifi the phone will reboot. It becomes quite annoying....does anyone have this issue or a solution?
anyone?...........
Been using JD for ages, and have never experienced any problems (aprt from having to restart it manually after flashing new kernel).
I use JD Plus, can send you my settings if you like.
What ROM/Kernel you using?
Have you tried re-installing and/or restoring it?
Have you tried fixing your permissions? Clear your cache too.

i9305 - No Data Connection after Flashing ROMs

Bit of a puzzler, I can't work out or find anywhere or suggestions why this is happening
Running CM10.1 on a Samsung S3 i9305 LTE since I got it about 6 weeks go. Rooted and running CWM recovery with zero issues, runs CM10.1 perfectly
I thought I'd give other ROMs a try that offer more customization than CM10.1 and supports overclock kernels and JKay frameworks
Tried the following so far, all with the same results. They are all i9305 ROMs, with i9305 kernels. So no mis-flashing
LiquidSmooth
Ripper ROM
rXtreme
The Galaxy Project
Pandorium
Installed Pandorium first and very impressed with all its customization and installed perseus with jkay framework. Spent a while reinstalling my apps, contacts, sms backups, etc, etc while connected via the house wi-fi ... not a single issue
Disconnected the wifi, no data connection. hmmmm, tried everything, reinstalling APN settings, flashing different modems, nothing worked. So spent a2-3 hours stressing I had lost my IMEI and killed my data connection
Reinstalled CM10.1, everything back as normal. Data connection woring as before .... weird
Spent sometime flashing the above ROMs, each and every one exhibit the same issue. All flash perfectly and run from wifi quite happily. Not a single issue, disconnect wifi .... bang, no data connection. In fact totally lost it, no apn data, nothing
Reinstall CM10.1 between each flash, everything working perfectly. data connection back
Between each flash, factory reset, wipe cache and dalvik cache
Each ROM installed perfectly and booted perfectly, BUT I lost my data connection each and everytime ..... until I reflash CM10.1 ad then it all works perfectly normally
Any suggestion would be gratefully appreciated why I lose my data connection when flashing anything BUT CM10.1
This is the wrong thread buddy!!! Use search before you ask something.

You are in the same boat with me. I also have done just like what you did, tried everything. Even worse for me, I have no mobile data on CM10.1. So I'm stuck with stock rom
If you've found the solution, please share

Q&A...
Solution
I've had the same problem for quite some time and thought it was because of the roms i flashed, though through searching for a while i found that it was a simple setting.
There is an app called Twekker that provides you with the APN settings you need and how to apply them to your phone. Install it and follow the instructions. The same instant i pressed save settings i got a stable 4g data connection.
I know it's and old thread, but it showed as top result for me on google. I hope this is helpful for someone.
I found a solution on youtube. You just boot into recovery and flash 2 modem zipped files. It will restore your imei and you will get your data connection back. Im not at home to give you the link but email me at missing shotgun @hotmail.com and ill send you the link.

[i605] Nightly has no voice/data

Hi. Just noticed that nightly builds for i605 (Galaxy Note 2 on Verizon) were available. Downloaded and installed them using both TWRP 2.6.3.1 and CWM 6.0.4.3. In both cases, the rom installed okay, but I didn't have voice or data. This happened with both the nightly from 12/19/13 and the nightly from 12/17/13. I did a clean install (factory reset, wipe system, wipe data) before flashing the omni nightly. Anyone else experiencing this?

I too experienced the same thing. Hoping it gets worked out soon.
Try installing SELinuxModeChanger from the play store and set it to Permissive. Thats what I had to do to get data back after the 12/20 OTA on my Galaxy Note 2. Tried both TWRP and CWM before that.
Thanks for the suggestion. Just installed the 12/19 nightly via twrp 2.6.3.1. First thing after it booted was to download SELinuxModeChange app and set to permissive. Then rebooted but still no voice or data.

hmmm... maybe try PhilzTouch CWM, it's a non-standard CWM. IF you do you can flash the nighties from the OpenDelta folder, system update will drop you into recovery and it'll error the update but you can install manually.
I'm also interested in a fix for this..I played around with the rom for a few hours on wifi before realizing that there was no cell connection.
I have philz installed, so maybe I will take a look through its settings and also try the app suggested. Is it possible that maybe its an APN issue?
EDIT:
..I did find that the zips to add multiwindow support do work on the nightly though!
I just tried again... Seems that it is not recognizing the Sim is installed, and also shows no baseband. I'm on the latest, MJ9. IIRC

Rick is looking into it. The nightlies were pulled due to this bug.
Same issue on nightly 02012014
I installed the nightly and my voice/data is not working anymore, installed the 4.1 modem again without any luck...
did anyone have this issue?
I thought I was the only one having this problem
No Sim recognized. No cell, data.
I decided against omni until the bugs get worked out.
Reinstalled CleanRom ACE. Everything is now good to go. Its almost like I have a fully functional phone again. (Almost like having an iPhone).

[Q] Wi-Fi Issues on custom roms?

So I rooted fine, installed SS fine, and even got x-note installed on a rom slot. So good news there!
However, whenever I install knoxraid or azure, the wi-fi will freeze. I can't turn it on or off. However, when I first flash the roms, the wi-fi is on and will even allow me to attempt to enter a password for my wi-fi...
Then nothing. It freezes, and will remain grayed out when I restart the phone. I've tried searching all the forums and I haven't found anyone with the same problem. Could it be a problem with my modem...?
Anyway, thanks for the help guys!
I have no issues running xnote rom.i was running knoxb and didn't have issues neither. Maybe bad flash

Do system wipe
Sent from my SM-N9005 using XDA Premium 4 mobile app
I had the same issue with flashing. I'm a pro at this. I do all my wipes and I'm generally a good troubleshooter. I think it's a combination of various things that we've done with our devices because not everybody experiences the same things. I did flash Incursor in the stock slot and it's running beautifully. I have had zero luck in flashing on the rom slots. Wifi is always broken.
Sent from my SM-N9005 using XDA Premium 4 mobile app
I've already done many system wipes... still nothing. I'll try installing over the stock slot and see how that works!
I installed over the stock rom slot (after making a backup of course), and the wifi connected. However, I restarted the phone and wifi now will not turn on again. So back to square one.. I've even tried reinstalling safestrap again, along with different versions. Still no wifi!
Edit: I do have wifi on my stock rom. Could it be something with the baseband?
any solutions to this? i tried Dynamic rom (1.2.1) and wifi doesn't work in either a custom rom slot or stock rom slot. at first boot it will turn on after trying for a while, and even let me connect. then after a reboot its off and can't get past the "turning on" screen...
however, xnote works fine with wifi turning on just like stock...but i'm having issues with gear notifications on xnote and want to try Dynamic...
