Last night I went ahead and took the plunge ... Updated the Firmware on my Archos 70 Internet Tablet 250GB (2.1.3 - Android 2.2.1).
My tablet still worked after the update. Slower than before though.
This morning I found out that I can't get online!
None of my four radio apps work (they all worked fine before).
Bible.is no longer works.
All three of my browsers no longer work.
Firmware Update doesn't work (can't connect to the Internet).
Wi-Fi shows that my Archos is connected to my Internet service. My son and I are both online with our computers, so there is nothing wrong with our Internet connection.
Looks like I have no choice now, but to reformat the Archos and start all over again (for the 4th time!!!!) .... That will be very time consuming, as I will have to download all of my many apps all over again, and then reload all of my files all over again ....

wtf?? I flashed to 2.1 global generic today, and everything has been fine, then suddenly all my market downloads started hanging on "starting download" (for free downloads) or "authorizing purchase" (for something I bought, before noticing the problem).
So I done some looking around for solutions and one of the solutions on devices that have had this in the past was to enable wifi, try downloading from the market, disable wifi, should be fine.
But when I tried enabling wifi it failed, and come up with a message "unable to scan for networks". the wifi setting then defaulted back to dissabled, automatically. wtf, i know there are wifi networks around, im in my room, on my PC, USING my wifi network which my phone was connected to previously.
Im stumped and need help
oh also worth noting, wifi has worked since updating to 2.1, and i have barely touched the device, done nothing major anyway (i.e. all I have done is stuff like adding widgets to desktop, nothing root based) since it was working.
Exactly the same for me mate. It initially worked, but now just displays the same message as you get.
Rebooted, removed battery, nothing has helped.
Happened to me too, after updating to 2.1.
I did a factory reset, that seemed to have solved the issue.
But it is really weird and hope it doesn't happen again.
yeah.... in the end after a lot of looking around I just recided to use SEUS to "repair" (reset) it, and so far that has worked a treat, plus the market is a lot more responsive now,
but it's quite a serious issue on google's part, as it's not just X10s that are getting this. Anyhoo, just out of curiosity if you've received this message, what version of the 2.1 firmware are you running, nordic, global, etc?

I also found that restoring WiFi access points from 1.6 using Titanium can give you this exact problem, so be careful people!
*sent from my X10i
I fixed mine by removing stored wifi settings. I assume titanium backup did it.
"Unable to scan networks"
I too have the same issue, idk when it exactly stopped working but I do know that I flashed it earlier that day with the 2.1.1 f/w. I am not sure but could the config. file be edited or the extension for it be renamed to fix the issue?
I ran across this post, and found the fix posted on this page. I had to change the wpa_supplicant.conf file extension to .bak

I had the same problem. I installed the software from the sony erikcon website to my computer, and then followed the process for updating the phone software. That did not work, since I had the latest software already. So then, I tried to REPAIR my phone software, and after that was done, my phone was functional again, and the wifi works without any problems.
Requirements:
* A PC connected to the Internet (preferably broadband)
* USB phone-to-PC connection. Please see the accessories compatibility list for your phone.
1.Run the software on the computer after it is installed.
2. Follow the procedure for UPDATE or REPAIR (if you already have the latest version).
GTab running CM v7.0.3 Harmony.
WiFi just stopped working correctly out of nowhere. It'll go from "Scanning...", to "Connecting...", to "Disconnected", in an endless loop without ever actually connecting.
I tried just rebooting, and nothing. Tried even flashing back to stock (two different versions), then to the latest Nightly, then back to v7.0.3, then did a restore (just to get back to where I was), and all of them had the same issue. None of them had the ability to connect, and still with that same looping.
I even tried some program I found called "WeFi". No go with that either.
I've had this tablet since the 19th, working perfectly. On CyanogenMod7 the whole time. No major changes were made to the system.
Does anyone know of a fix or something that could get me back to functional WiFi?
I'd appreciate the help.
Thanks.
I realize this is not the correct section for this thread but id like to say yours is not an isolated issue. It happened to me with Vegan-Gingerbread edition and i flashed all the way back to Belkins 1.0 2638 (nvflash) and its still doing it.
Strangely enough, it works from my home but will NOT work at hotels airports etc (even though my my lap tops and phones etc will connect from those same locations. This has rendered my gtab nearly useless (without wifi its useless) even though i am familiar with nvflash and trying different roms..i have no idea why the wi-fi keeps looping into this "dead" behavior......
Delete...wrong thread. Lol
Strange, just recently I noticed the same thing, but mine tends to drop connection when using wireless tether via my phone. Even though wifi says connected any apps utilizing wifi will not connect. I have to shut off wifi & then turn it back on only to have it drop once more in less than 5 min. I know it's not the phones end because I can wifi tether to my laptop with no problems & I'm able to connect to my home wifi with no problems as well.
I'm running the latest nightly build of CM7 & have been using it since it was pushed out (June 25th I believe). No other ROM updates other than the usual app updates have been installed. This has been going on for about a week now.
No wifi on CM 7
Me too wi fi on the GTAB running CM7 died today. All other computers are connected.
miracle...now working.
Someone wrote me a PM and made a suggestion to delete user. I tried that, and removed my home network from the list. I also did a hard reset on my router.
The next day, it just worked. So who the hell knows. I'm glad in any case.
I searched but couldn't find a great reference point for what I'm looking for - I've rooted my Gtab to Vegan 5.1 (or 1.5? I can't remember) right after I got it in early Spring.
Well now I have issues with the Wifi - I can connect to the network and go to websites - but none of my apps (Gmail, Gtask, Zinio, Market) will connect to the network. Am I missing a setting somewhere? I'm planning on upgrading to a new ROM soon - but I haven't decided on one yet and I don't know if that will fix my problems.
Any help is appreciated - I have a ton of magazines to read!

Any thoughts on this? I flashed last week and then today I can't use any apps. The can get to the internet but thats it. The wifi icon is showing connected but it is grey instead of the usual green. I need help bad.
Hi Friends,
Few days a go as I was watching youtube videos for around 45 minutes continuously through the youtube app. The streaming suddenly paused and never continued from that point. I tried other videos but it kept on buffering (the circle kept on spining and nothing happened, as noticed on the leds of wifi router it seemed youtube app is not using the net but when i search for more videos the thumbnail do showup normally).
To over come this issue i tried reflashing. This happened when i was on the new HyperDroid_v4.0 with Pongster's MattedBlack v4.0 Surgeons which is amazing for battery saving.
I then tried reflashing HyperDroid_v4.0 again after formatting /cache /system /data /sdcard /emmc which wiped everything, but still no avail.
Then i again tried reflashing DarkyROM2 XXKH3 BASE (2.3.4) formatting everything but still no luck at all.
I even tried these flashing after Factory data reset selecting Format USB storage as well .
When i do the flashing everything else seems to be working fine as usual except the youtube playback and android market doesn't download, like i said for the youtube app, everything like searching the apps, browsing through apps details works fine except it doesn't download at all. It shows as if it's downloading but it stays as is forever.
Very sorry if same question was posted before this as i couldn't find like it.
I have been trying to fix this for 2 days in a row but still no luck.
Has anyone come across this same issue.
Please help.
Thank you very much in advance..
Update:The problem was finally solved after again formatting /cache /system /data /sdcard /emmc and flashed stock ROM though Odin and then I installed DarkyROM tool and then flashed DarkyROM2_KI3_Base ROM.
I will soon jump to HyperDroid_v4.0 with Pongster's MattedBlack v4.0 Surgeons again as it has superb battery life.
I will be updating you guys if the same problem persist.
Thank you all
Hello everyone!
Although I am not using GS2 (I have a Galaxy Note), I chose to post here because I didn't want to create a new post and I believe this is not a device-specific issue (see below for why).
I have the exact same problem as OP (as far as I can see). When I got my note less than a week ago, everything was working great. Then, last Friday I noticed that I cannot download anything from the market. After choosing to download something (both paid or free), after clicking "accept & download" at the permission screen, the screen goes back to app screen and market shows the app as "downloading..." with working, yet empty, progress bar. Everything else using the internet works fine - browsing from different browsers, notifications, email etc. I even tried installing an alternative market app, and it would download/install apps no problem. Also, downloading straight .apk files works as well. Later that evening I also noticed youtube app doesn't work - just the "loading" circle keeps running, until it times out. Browsing/searching market/youtube works without a problem. I am using the stock ROM and it isn't even rooted. Later, following some suggestions from google searches on the problem, it turns out that downloads work when I disable network and let it use mobile internet. I also later found out that it works on other wifi networks, just not my home wifi (which used to work perfectly, with no configuration changes to the router).
Next day I also found out that my girlfriend's android (LG Optimus Me P350) has the same exact problem, therefor it is not a phone model specific problem.
Here is what I tried so far:
Factory reset - left me with no apps and no way to re-download them. The market download did work ONCE after the reset, but that was to download the update to the market itself, nothing else;
Clearing Download Manager data - worked for ONE download. At first it worked for one download every time, meaning, after clearing download manager data, I was able to download one app, after that it would go back to the problem. I could then clear data again, and it would again download one app. After about 5 apps downloaded this way, this solution won't work at all anymore;
Force closing/clearing data of market, gmail, talk (in combination with above step) - didn't work;
Signing out/in to gmail and/or talk - didn't work;
Changing google account in market - didn't work;
Stopping/starting download countless times - didn't work;
Switching wifi on/off - only starts downloading briefly when phone switches to 3G while wifi is off. As soon as it gets wifi connection back, the download stalls at the position it was until I switch wifi off again (so it can continue to use 3G);
Switching phone to airplane mode, off/on, then disabling airplane mode - didn't work;
Changing phone's DNS records with an app to OpenDNS - didn't work;
Updating router firmware - didn't work;
Resetting router firmware - didn't work;
Setting port triggering on router for port 5228 - didn't work;
Port forwarding to Note IP for same port - didn't work;
Disabling router firewall - didn't work;
My router is Linksys E1000.
I think that is all I tried. I have been trying to find a solution for the whole weekend, and nothing as far. Searching google makes me believe that many people have had the same problem. I have found many solutions, which don't work, or only work once. This problem is really, really irritating. Also, I have found out that for many people the problem seems to randomly disappear without doing anything after some time (days to months), sometimes coming back and sometimes not. I experienced this myself when after going to sleep, I was able to download one app in the morning with no tried "fixes" at that time. This also makes me believe that there are many "fake" solutions, which did work for some people, but not for others - quite possibly, while these people were "solving" the problem, it actually solved itself, yet because the person did something, he/she believes that was the solution. A notable example of this could be "google account 24-hour reset" where users experiencing the problem are suggested to log out of their google accounts everywhere and not use the account for anything for 24 hours. Seeing as this is possibly a problem somehow connected to another device, not just the phone itself, I did consider flashing DD-WRT on my router, but I wouldn't really want do do that since my router is not that powerful and with all the DD-WRT features my broadband speed gets capped at about 65Mbit/s. Still a lot, but I have a great internet connection and am able to get real speeds of about 90Mbit/s with stock router firmware.
If anyone has any ideas, please share Thank you in advance!
Just a quick reply - I contacted my apartment building network tech, and he said that they didn't do anything regarding the internet that day, but they did however do something to offer TV service to residents (edit: The TV network shares the same hardware as internet's). He said that it shouldn't have changed anything regarding internet, but he would look into it. A few hours later everything is working.
Of course, it could be one of those cases where the problem disappears with no apparent reason, but I guess they did something to fix it. So, if you are experiencing the same problem (market downloads not working and youtube app not playing videos), and you have tried everything else (preferably confirmed the problem persists on someone elses phone), I would suggest you start going up the chain to whoever is managing your network (after yourself). If at all possible, try getting wifi access through someone else who is using the same ISP/network - if the problem persists even when connected to another AP/Router, it's pretty sure the ISP or network is to blame.
Hope this helps someone, since I wasted a few days on this
I have a BLU Studio Selfie 2 that came with Android 6.0 Marshmallow stock. I used a custom TWRP recovery (TWRP v3.0.2 for BLU Studio Selfie 2 - S230Q by Antonio Lopes "lopestom") to back up the phone, and then tried two more custom TWRP recovery versions (3.0.3 and 3.1, also by lopestom. I was beta testing the recoveries and providing feedback to the developer, and ran across a few minor problems (mostly due to my fiddling with things I probably shouldn't have). I installed SuperSU, and the phone is now rooted.
Long story short, I got to a point where I couldn't do much because two of the front screen touch buttons wouldn't work (Home and Recents), so I decided to start over with a factory reset. Here's where it gets weird. The first thing I found was that whether I was on data service (U.S. T-Mobile network) or WiFi, some internet connections worked, and some didn't. I was able to download and install apps from the Play Store, and I could still send SMS text using Google Hangouts. However, none of the three browser apps (Firefox, Chrome, Opera) could connect to any website. They would just time out. Also, I could still make and receive voice phone calls over the T-Mobile network. When I was on WiFi, I could ping the phone's IP address from a computer that was connected to the same wireless network.
After several hours of web searches, changing settings, and rebooting, I decided to reflash TWRP v3.0.2 and recover the first backup I did after rooting the phone. Everything had worked well at that time. Once I did so, everything came back the way it was then (all apps, settings, data, etc.), BUT I still had the same problem as above... no web page browsing, but Play Store and Hangouts worked flawlessly over data service or WiFi.
Then.... it gets even weirder. For some reason (based on a previous web result on fixing an unrelated issue), I decided to switch the phone from OWNER to a GUEST account, and found that I WAS ABLE to browse websites with Chrome, Firefox, and Opera. The other apps still had internet access as well. I then switched back to OWNER hoping that might have corrected something, but the internet problem is still there for web browsing.
Basically, everything works on the phone now EXCEPT for internet access using a web browser.
Any ideas/suggestions/questions?
