Okay so I have the vibrant and lately my wifi will not connect. it says obtaining ip address then it says unsuccessful every time i try to connect. i have tried rooting it unrooting it , reset , airplane mode, apps from the market that claim to fix wifi problem .... everything and no luck. I know this is a problem with galaxy s phones just like the gps issue. has anybody had this problem and if so how did you fix it. Thanks
o yea and its not my router because my old g1 and my husbands vibrant connects fine.
You most likely have a defective phone and you should have no problem getting it replaced by Tmo.
I don't always complain, but when I do, I #BlameWes
Its just crazy because it was working fine until about 4days ago and i have had it since it came out....i already called tmobile but i didnt want a replacment phone just yet...i wanna see if its like the gps bug and if froyo will fix it..

Hey guys..
WiFi was working for me at first, but now my phone pretends like it doesn't even have WiFi. Any way to fix this without reflashing/hard resetting my phone? I tried the uninstallation of WMWiFiRouter, and it still didn't help. Can I somehow revert back to a different driver without having to start over again? Thanks!
can you elaborate on teh issue a little bit? im also having a wifi problem, but havent found many others with the same issue. i want to know if yours is the same.
sounds like a wmwifirouter issue to me.
i dont think so. i have removed wmwifirouter from mine and still have the problem. it works once in a while, specifically after a soft reset.
I don't know what else to say. Turning on the WiFi switch does nothing, pressing the WiFi in Comm Manager does nothing, and I no longer have WiFi under Connections. I see Wireless LAN, but not WiFi. My Wireless Today Plug-In only shows Bluetooth and not WiFi anymore.
All in all, I guess it seems like my phone doesn't realize that I have WiFi.
I just upgraded to DCD 3.0.1 yesterday.
WiFi is still working for me (WPA-PSK, AES encryption). I'll test at work tomorrow.

I've never used WiFi Router and I get the issue on soft resets and usually when I someplace where coverage is spotty.
I seem to be having an opposite problem. My WiFi randomly activates while I am in a call.

ive seen that thread, and that problem, but mine at least, is different. ive done extensive testing and my problem doesnt ahve anything to do with wmwifirouter. the problem started before i ever installed it. and its not that it doesnt work, it just works sporatically. usually after a soft reset, its ok. until i turn off the wifi switch, or push the power button. then its like theres no networks...but there definitely are. i thought the problem was specific to me, but now that im seeing other people with the problem im starting to neglect my previous theories that only pertained to my situation, in favor of no explanation.
just wondering. the other people with wifi problems. what carriers are you guys?
im on vzw
thanks
Happens on my Sprint Mogul, and I have tried that fix in the thread.
Im on Sprint and I keep having the same problem with my wifi.... this all began when i upgraded to the 2.2.6 rom i believe. I used to not be able to get wifi, then after a few days it would suddenly read my network but it wouldnt connect. now after upgrading to 3.0.1 it reads the network fine but it and tries to connect but either it disconnects instantly after it connects or it never connects.
Ive never had wmwrouter installed and my network connection security is WEP 128.
Any ideas?
wifi problem
I have the exact same problem with my phone...started about a month ago. Upgrade to new rom (from 2.17) didn't fix it....
sorry you guys are having problems, but i am a little relieved to see that other people are having the same problem as i am.
my one question, is are you guys sporadically seeing the wifi work fine. mine does, usually after a soft reset for a little while sometimes, but once it "clicks off" it is gone until after a soft reset.
thanks
I have the wifi issue as well. I am running DCD's 3.0.1 ROM. I also have the WMWifiRouter program installed. In my case, the WMWifirouter program would run and my laptop will pick it up but then I can't connect to it. It also seems sporadic. My laptop will show full signal of the program then when I hit refresh the signal will disappear. With the wifi switch, when I turn it on the wifi icon at the top comes on and act as if it is searching for wifi signal but it would never connect to anything. Even when I am in a wifi hotspot my phone would not pick anything up at all. *NOTE: Even before I upgraded my ROM, I started to have wifi problems on my stock 2.08 sprint ROM.
yea it sporadically works for a short period of time but once it disconnects it won't work again.
Sometimes it finds the wireless network and sometimes it wont find anything. Its kinda random.
Since I was having an issue for GPS to take a while to lock on on top of this WiFi issue, I just decided to flash the stock Sprint ROM 3.35 and then reflash DCD 3.0.1. Everything is working beautifully now.
it is this app
ok then test it on a phone that has had it an another one that has not! remember that once its on there you will find that it may never go away even if you flash, i been ther buddy
dont for get to change the routers name so you don't be dumb about it mmmkkaaayy.

WI-FI Issue
Are you connected to your PC while trying the WI-FI?
I've got a Vibrant (Galaxy S) I recently bought off craigslist. It seemed to work pretty well when I first got it and gave it a factory reset. After about a week i noticed that people kept texting me to "pick up your phone" but the problem was it never rang, never even showed a missed call. If I restarted the phone, made a phone call, then everything would work fine for a few hours, then no more calls would come in. I've tested this in soooo many ways only to find that the trigger appears to be the data connection. I did try disabling data and every call went through just fine until data was restarted.
I've hypothesized that when my phone connects to data it is blocking the normal cell phone service, and never giving the phone priority back until I make an outgoing phone call.
I've tried redoing the factory reset, upgrading to Froyo with keis, Rooting & flashing Nero ROM (which is fantastic BTW), adding phone prioritizer script, running taskkiller, messing with various settings and I am getting nowhere.
I am somewhat new to how the samsung works hardwarewise (I'm coming from an HTC Dream G1) and really need some suggestions. I've been drawing blanks after Googling for days!! Please help!!

I will try flashing a modem and post results in a bit, but so far I've been unable to understand what a modem is. Is that like a Radio or SPL? (again I am more familiar with G1 lingo)
Alright, flashed kb1 modem. Working so far, I can receive calls and interrupt data session (market download, map, facebook, etc) I'll update if problem persists.
Sent from my HTC Magic/Dream using XDA App
Update: Still using KB1 modem (battery slightly worse) and BionixV
Went for a trip away from the house this weekend and calls went through flawlessly, so I'm thinking this could be a coverage issue.
However, whenever I turn data off at home, phone calls always work and I always have at least 2 bars. So probably some sort of a hardware issue? I still feel like it get's hung up on data hardware and isn't switching to cell phone mode.
Still looking for more ideas or contacts. Should I pursue contacting Samsung? Am I outta luck with this being a craigslist find?
Had a buddy with access to small tools and some chip diagnostic equipment root around inside the phone. He said he found "3 circuits are shot all pins" Personally I don't know how a phone continues to work after that? Anyway, looks like I got burned on this craigslist find.
So if you have this problem, get a new phone... I'm just gonna pretend it is a mini tablet for now.

I've searched and searched and never ran into this thread, I'm wondering if I have the same problem with chip burned!!!! If anyone reads, please check out my post below

Is anyone else's totally sucking?? It always says either H, or 3G, but no data goes through. The "upload" arrow will light up, but not the "download" one... I also think it's killing my battery since it's constantly searching for a signal for checking e-mail and stuff? Just wondering if anyone else is having this problem or it's my phone? I'm outside of Chicago....
Same here. Someone I work with has the sgs4g and suffers the same problem.

Same problem down here in dallas tx i only really started noticing this with kb5 modem, i recently switched back to the KA6 modem. The problem is persistent but no where near as bad as it was on KB5
Having same issue here... went to Tmobile and they told me this is not a common problem. But the forums are littered with people having the same problem... found 1 rom that kinda manages it well. Axora

hmmm weird. I didn't really have a problem until a few days ago, but I'm glad to know it's not just me
I think I figured out when the data drops. The phone will lag to the point of inoperability, then the phone for some reason has trouble reconnecting to the tower. the only thing I have found to fix this is a factory data reset. I have been lucky enough to reboot in airplane mode sometimes which helped once or twice. Or to reload a rom. I just dont know how to fix it? I had my phone warranty replaced due to this issue and it still remains on new phone. I am somwhat pissed myself

Happens to me randomly specially when searching in Map app. Phone starts lagging and I have to reboot. After reboot it shows No entry like sign in status bar. Nothing works, I tried rebooting, reinstalling same rom, new rom, new modem. What works is take out battery and reinsert it. Thought I got a bad phone, but now it seems others have this issue too?
Im just south of chicago and I usually have to download my apps 2 or 3 times to actually get them installed. I noticed that after you choose to download and it spits you back out in to the menu. Reclick the app you just installed if there isno statusbar you are not trully downloading it.

I've been having problems with keeping gchat logged in. Constantly drops out and says either I'm not online or the other person is not online. My wife has the same problem with her vibrant.
In addition my GPS has been extra sucky lately, went from being able to lock 8 inside to usually not locking at all. Nothing I've tried has fixed it, but then randomly it'll work just fine. I can't reliably reproduce the problem.

This is the second vibrant that I have had this problem on, So I want to say software, unless I got 2 phones with the same problem. The EDT gps fix makes my gps lovely when I have a data connection. I know that heathen has also made a flashable data fix which would at least stop from having to do a data reset, and reinstalling all apps. Unfortunately the data fix is rom specific and not a universal deal. Anybody with more experience know why many vibrants have this intermittent problem???
Since I unrooted I have had no data drops, but cannot fully unlock the potential of the device, has anyone heard if a way to maintain stable data thru root?
Thanks

I kinda think I got the same thing goin on here. The only time I really notice it is in the market and usually only when doing updates to apps. Can't really say that DLing new apps has an issue tho.
I highly recommend CM7 .....I try every new rom and always come back to it. Just a thought haha

Just tried it (cm7) and data dropped in 24 hrs. I give up, I'm going to switch to a verizon based phone. Ive never had a problem rooting my g1 or mytouch with data. If anyone knows a fix I would be very interested in understanding the problem.
Data worked for a month straight un-rooted !!!!
Thanks
Did you try out different modems at all?
my phone is constantly getting stuck in airplane mode without me switching it. possible i might have messed with a setting. it does it after times of no use. simple fix is to reset and its back to normal. wondering if anyone else has same problem and a permanent fix. this happened about 5 times since receiving it yesterday afternoon.
thanks!
I am not having any such problem. I tried looking up a solution to no avail.

thanks anyways.
not so much of issue afternoon/evening. had some non responsiveness to deal with. buggy? i dont know just working around it best i can
*update*
back at my house last night and this morning doing it again. im thinking im losing signal and when it comes back on not connect to 4g signal. i have had signal issues in the past with other phones guess this should be so diffrent. and the work around continues.
ok so back to work today. great signal area and still happening. going to see if CS samsung or ATT has anything to help me otherwise i'm returning it.
so sad it is a beauty of a device. i read other devices doing this just no one here yet with this problem. someone saying a file maybe corrupt. a stock reset was done to no avail either.
? is ATT going to give me the run around or should i take it in locked and let them fiddle?
Hi, I was running BAMF Sense 5.0 ROM and suddenly wifi stopped working. It just gets stuck at "Turning on Wifi".
I am S-Off and I've tried flashing another kernel but no luck.
Anyone know what's wrong?
Oddly enough this just happened to me earlier today. WiFi wouldn't connect to my home network, but could see all available networks in my area. I tried turning WiFi off and on again, bit would get stuck at "turning on" without actually turning on. My laptop was able to connect just fine.
The problem seemed to fix itself by rebooting my router. Hasn't happened since.

Hi, thanks for your reply.
That's not the problem for me. It literally just won't turn on no matter what I do. No restart works, resetting router, flashing kernel. It's really frustrating.

I've not been able to fix it. I since moved onto Lumia 1520, but still want to get my Droid working again. Was thinking maybe buying replacement parts and self-fixing. But looking online, HTC Ones look pretty cheap these days, so may just buy one of those instead. If I'm to repair it myself, I'm not entirely sure where the Wifi is.
Was thinking just buying this, but it is kinda pricey...
