Hi,
I've been using ROM's since ever.
Now i have a very strange problem.
I can't connect with my network again, sometimes it has a connecting for 10 seconds and then BANG...now connection anymore.
ConnectionSetup sees that i have Vodafone...
When i put the simcard in my other phone, it just works...
Who's got an idea?
I changed ROM's.. nothing...I updated the Radio... nothing
I've run into that on a few rare occasion with various cell phones. In most cases, I use an soft eraser (staedtler) to clean the SIM card contact (gold) portion.
HTH,

Hi all,
Got a problem that I can't seem to find any suggestions on how to fix here on the forums.
My i-mate Jamin's wireless doesn't automatically detect wireless networks, and even when I specify the configuration manually, it won't connect either. So, there is no detection of wireless (the wifi does turn on alright), and the 'wifi on' tower icon appears, but doesn't try and search or connect.
I was starting to think this was a 100% hardware problem, but I found that if I try and create an ad-hoc network with my Jamin, other devices can see it. However, when actually trying to connect to the ad-hoc network, the Jamin still keeps trying to connect unsuccessfully.
This problem existed on WM5 (my original rom) and has still been the same on all WM6.1 roms I've used (ShadoW, iProphet etc).
Any suggestions on a software angle, or what to look for in terms of 'broken' hardware if I were to pull the device apart?
Cheers
try to update the ROM and the SPL, but be carefull
Thanks for the suggestion, but I've done both. I've got the HardSPL on my device, and I've got CloudyFa's WM 6.1 rom (and as I mentioned, I've tried about 3 other WM6 and WM6.1 roms too)..still no luck though.
It does, however, come up with the signal strength icon (like it can almost see the network) if you try and manually configure a network you know exists (eg my home network). It doesn't manage to connect to it though - just comes back and says 'unavailable'.
check if it is encrypted with WPA2. I think that version of cloudyfa is not compatible with that kind of encryption.

Definitely is only WPA here at home. Tried disabling it to no encryption, and likewise it doesn't work at my university (WPA) or at public wifi hotspots (no encryptions) or if you use WEP either. I've tried every setting on my router - and like I've mentioned, tried it in various other locations and routers...
Definitely something wrong with my device..but who knows what it is

Try a WM5 official ROM with a different Radio ROM.

Any suggestions as to the best version? I've upgraded from the base one to 2.20.21.
Also, how does the main memory go during this update (can't remember from last time I did it) - does it get erased / should I back things up?
Thanks

Main memory should be fine, nothing is wiped.
As to the best version, I'd suggest trying a few, personally, I think 2.19.21 is the best, but that may just be me and my Prophet...

Yep, main memory was fine. I've upgraded to the latest radio rom on that page, but still no luck.
So I've tried that one, your one was my original one (2.19.21) and my last one (2.20.21). Doesn't seem like it's a fix unfortunately..
Thanks for the help all the same. Anything else I could try?
Have same problem after I installed :touchflo 3d look.

Same problem here
Hey there, as I said befor I had the SAME EXACT PROBLEM (Vodafone S200 initial firmware - flashed several ROMS with no succes on wifi and finally decided to stay with bikertibi's 23102).
I think I somehow came across the solution (or the solution came across me) about the "when I turn on the wifi..."
It does:
1) look like its turned on as the upper icon appears and it says "on" on the display.
2) beeps the green led on the front speaker (or whatever is that)
BUT
It does not:
1) beep the radio signal (two waves) on the "wifi on" icon.
2) Find networks available
warning: my level of knowledge on PDA's is somewhere over the bottom limit so basically my interpretations of the solution will be more of that (interpretations) than it should be. So I beg for someone that knows what he's doing to try it and explain again.
Okay, after searching the unsearchable and MAKING SURE that it was DEF. NOT the USB cable, decided to give it a try to that icon "ADD NEW". That icon appears instead of the available networks, 'cause as I said my prophet wasn't detecting them.
So, I "added" a new one with ad-hoc (that is: tab on "add new", select ad-hoc, put a silly name and say yes to all) and then INSTANTLY and MAGICALLY (yes, Im THAT lamer) it all started to find networks all over the howse.
Other thing that might have been something on the process is that I was having my laptop with the wireless connected. At the first moment I connected the adhoc with the laptop but then tried to connect to another next door network with SUCCEED.
Finally, deleted the new added silly named network and it is still recognizing networks available.
PLEASE, SOMEONE THAT KNOWS ABOUT THIS, EXPLAIN IT WITH CLEAR WORDS!!!!
Hope it helps
Re:
Maybe you should check your network to see anything wrong with it...
There's nothing wrong with the network you guys. I've been having the same problem for over 3 years? Couldn't quite remember.
I STILL have my Qtek s200 with me now. Alive and kickin'. I still have a problem with my wifi. I can connect alright, and browse alright. BUT only if I'm 2 feet near my router. The reception is extremely poor 3 years back, still is extremely poor now. This is not a coincidence. I think something's wrong with our devices. Tried doing everything. cooked, uncooked, stock. original radio, ALL radio. Still the same. Same exact distance, the reception weakens after 2 feet. AND 2 FEET is way to short for WIFI browsing.
To add more that there is nothing wrong with my network at home:
1. got no password
2. I have a old Nintendo DS lite. Works Fine.
3. Got a Wii
4. Got an Old Xperia X1 (not quite old)
5. Wifey's on C905
6. Got a China Iped
7. Using an HTC HD7
8. My OLD MSI Laptop has WIFI connectivity.
9. My Sis got an Aino.
that's basically it, an everyday home WIFI activity connectivity. AS for my Prophet. Still looks black good. but still connects no good. everythng else connects fine though, beaming IR things, bluetoothing things. pretty much normal. All except WIFI.
3 years ago, I thought it was just me.
Sometimes my phone just disconnects from gsm network and when I try to reconnect manually I get
"unable to connect to this network at this moment"
Putting Aero mode on/off doesn't help, the only way to "fix" it is to reboot. It happens like once a day and the problem is that I can't find a way to troubleshoot it.
I didn't install any task killer, just removed some bloatware from the stock rom (rooted).
Any Idea ?
thanks
I have same issue. Sometimes have no signal. Have broken simcard. Another one have no problem.
Sent from my LG-P500 using Tapatalk
but if it was a sim issue why just after a reboot it works again? it instantly locks to the network after I reboot it
Sent from my LG-P500 using XDA App
I have the same problem...sometimes no signal. I don't think that is a sim card problem beacuse my sim is quite new (less then 1 year) and work great on a nokia 5800
Do you believe I may understand something reading adb log ?
(I'll try when home)
Dear reader,
I got a problem with my Titan for a couple of weeks now.
A couple of times a day when I grab my Titan and want to use it -> get it out of standby, it doesn't reacts to any input/buttons etc. just nothing. No feedback from capacitive buttons. Only way is to remove battery, insert it again and boot it up. But this occurs 20 times a day. I doesn't happen all the time though. But it is very frustrating.
It started after using the DFT rom for a couple of weeks. I hard resetted it, still same problem. Then I flashed the Dynamics7 rom, still same problem. So I start to believe that it's something hardware related, or maybe the following thing;
Though some other strange thing is that every time I hard resetted my device or flashed an other rom, and then installed the Facebook app, the FB app works fine, untill the first time my phone has the above mentioned strange bug. So after I restarted my phone, the FB app crashes while starting. And never works again... (FB app version 2.7.0.0)
Anyone with the same problem or suggestions?
Any help will be appriciated.
Thanks in advance,
Lars
It seems it has something to do with my mobile network or simcard or something. when in flightmode and using wifi it hasn't happend anymore fore some time now...
Well, I ordered a new simcard, in the hope that the problem would be solved.. But it has no effect. Tried 3 different roms, DFT, Dynamics7 and currently the standerd rom. All three, same problem.
As the problem becomes more frequent the last days, it also happens while calling, or other use of the phone, and not only when the device is locked...
Anyone with some suggestions?
Have you tried not installing any apps at all? Just running fresh?
Try not syncing your hotmail account either. Just let it run as a solo phone.
Also, while you factory reset what will be worth looking into is, having data connection switched off. Only using 2G.
I have had exactly same problem with my old Nokia E63. I never got around the issue. It was one specific operator (Vectone, UK) and every other company's SIM worked without causing issues. Maybe worth testing some other network provider's SIM from your friend?

well I found the problem. It's the Facebook app (not the integrated one).
Uninstalled it, problem solved. Installed it again, problem is back.
Problem occurs with stock Rom. And I already tried CM11 and others ROMs.
When I turn on the phone, everything work great, both SIM registered, calls working, 3G connection. But after hours using (sometime 2 hours, sometime 6 hours aleatory) the signal indicator remain showing full signal, but is showed on "about" that network and phone number is unknown but still show type of signal (3G, Edge, UTMS). On both SIMs. Emergency calls only. Is like that could not read the SIMs card. And I can´t receive calls or make calls of connect on 3G. So, when I realize the problem I restart the phone and it come normal for hours. Airplane mode don´t fix, just restart.
I Already tried with stock BUBUANH1 (my phone is GT-i8552B) and BUBUANF1.
I believe that is a soft problem because my wife have same phone (both are after jul 14) and the problem occurs in both. I think very improbable to be hardware problem in two phones.
On my mind, this problem always occurred in the past, but I don´t had identified yet. The SIMs card were tested on gt6313 and worked well for 2 days.
I going crazy with this.
Could you tell what can fix it? i already searched for the modem.bin to this phone but cant find, anyway i think that if it was the problem it would never works.
First time when I used odin to flash, I chosed Phone instead PDA and flashed the stock tar file. The phone get a loop, but after I flashed using PDA the phone worked fine. Could this to be the cause? Could corrupted some thing?
Happened today. Was peacefully browsing internet with Chrome using my mobile data when suddenly I lost access to the internet. No messages shown on screen or anything.
Chrome won't load pages, showing the DNS_PROBE_FINISHED_NO_INTERNET error code. All other apps that use the internet immediately show an error saying theres no internet access. Additionally, when I ping a remote address (eg. 8.8.8.8) via terminal, I'm getting spammed with "Destination Port Unreachable" so much that the terminal app hangs and I have to force close it.
I already confirmed it's not a carrier issue, other SIM cards show the same issue on this phone, when all of them works on a different device. I tried changing between 2G/3G/4G, reinstalling my carrier's VPN profile for internet connectivity, staying in airplane mode for about 10 minutes (per carrier's recommendation), also tried restarting the phone and even wiping the cache partition.
WiFi internet works fine, so does the rest of my mobile functionalities (SMS, calling). Any ideas about that one?
There are many reports of this happening. It has something to do with the fragile antenna connector/wire. You'll have to open the back cover and check if the wire integrity and connector is intact.
If you are in warranty, send it straight to service center.
WiFi and Bluetooth are on one chip. So if one works, the other should work too.
Cellular is on separate chip.
Good luck my friend. I hope you can get your phone fixed.

That's strange, I'd think a loose antenna connection would not be picky about only impacting internet connectivity but not phone calls and messaging?
Either way I can have a look at this, never opened the back cover on this phone, I assume it doesn't void warranty?
Okay, since I was only evaluating MIUI 11 (flashed it a few days after release) and there were already a few things that annoyed me with it, I decided to pull the proverbial trigger and switch to something else.
And I'm glad that I did, giving LineageOS 16 a try (build 17.11.19) and mobile data is now working exactly like it used to do Good news, since it doesn't seem to be a hardware issue, but also bad news, since it seems like MIUI 11 has some sort of an internal issue that can permanently (?) break mobile data. Well, I'm not willing to put up with it, hopefully somebody else more skilled than me can discover what could have been wrong
guys, i just lost my data connection. 4G logo is available but no internet. I swap from Sim1 to Sim2 slot also the same. I have tested my simcard with iphone 6 and it is working.
