I recently did a factory reset and format on my Vibrant and then rooted it, but kept the stock TW and everything. Recently, whenever I opened up an app that required an internet connection like textPlus or XDA, the wifi icon on the top bar would disappear and the app would simply not work. In the wifi settings, it says the my wifi network is found, but there is no signal strength, and under the option to turn wifi on or off it would say "unsuccessful." I can then turn wifi OFF and turn it on again and the network would then have like 3 or 4 bars and is functional, but whenever I would open up textPlus or XDA, it will show an animation of the app opening but I would still see my homescreen except nothing is responsive (and the wifi icon will disappear). I can get out of this by pressing the home button, but it'll freeze whenever I turn on the apps. Anyone have an idea of what's going on?

So, I have noticed that when I use widgetsoid to enable/disable data connection (have to do that when using Market due to the market trying to use data instead of WiFi), it works to disable the data connection. Then if I leave it and let's say next day at work enable it, the indicator turns green again but the "arrows" for H+ never show up.
The only way then is for me to restart the phone.
Any ideas, maybe some widgetsoid settings I need to change to make this work properly?
data connection
There are a few threads on this. Data connection can be BROKEN by using some of the power widgets. That is what happened to me anyway. i had to reset the phone to get my data working again and now i only use the built in power widgets which are ugly but work fine. If you uninstall the power widget and everything works again you may want to consider leaving it that way.
people who have "Widgetsoid alternative icons", and can share the apk? thanks
Recently my wifi has become erratic. If I try and open Market, Dolphin Browser, etc., they don't respond and tell me to retry. It shows an active wifi signal in the bar across the top but does not connect. I have to turn off wifi and let the 3G/4G take over. However, if I power off the phone and restart, then it will work fine for a while. The phone is unlocked and rooted and is running the stock ROM.
Any advice?
Hi,
Few weeks ago I rooted and update my new XperiaP to stock ICS (6.1.B.0.544) and everything was working just fine for some time.
Then one day I noticed that the Wifi doesn't work correctly - once connected to my home network it doesn't switch anymore to other
networks, Wifi switch doesn't work at all when I tap it moves to the OFF position but the icon on the status bar never disappears and when I
enter the menu again the Wifi switch is On. So I can switch to another network only after restart
After restart everything works fine...After that I noticed I have same problem with 3G - I can turn it ON only after restart otherwise even if the switch
shows it's on it actually isn't.
I don't have any exotic apps installed before that issue happened - the only think I remember I did was to activate 3G package from my provider.
Any Ideas or suggestions ?
I set "Keep Wifi on during sleep" to "Always". I do this with all of my devices, as I like to have them connected to Wifi if it's available as soon as I wake it up.
However, the connection manager (or some other app/service) on the Desire seems to take control nearly every time I hit the power button. The phone comes on and I'll be connected to Wifi. But then it switches off and connects to the 3G/4G data signal for a few seconds. Then switches back to Wifi. This is especially annoying when I've already launched an app and it disconnects me.
I tried using Titanium Backup to "freeze" an app that is called something like Connection Manager, but this odd connection flip still occurs.
Does anyone know what is causing this and how I can fix it? I'm still on 4.2 if that makes a difference.
Thank you!

I'm not sure how you do it after-the-fact but I know when I first setup the device on VM it popped up and you had to consent to use it and agree to the terms. If you say no to both of the those the app never bothers you again. I'm not sure how you get back into the app though to disable it after it being allowed to run.
You could try going to Settings -> Apps -> ALL and then force stop the program and clear all the cache/data/defaults maybe it will clear out your consent to use the program and your agreement to usage terms allowing you to say no the next time it runs.
I decided to save a good amount of my battery by limiting the usage of wifi network connection only to the time I use my phone
so I downloaded and installed 3rd party app which allows me to control when it switches on/off and here's what I did.
connect to wifi when the screen is on
disconnect to wifi when the screen is off
it is this simple. and I expected it to function just as It should be
everything worked just fine.. or not.
I had to wait for like 5 seconds before it started to finish the wifi connection after I screened it on, which is not a good thing.
the purpose of setting all this is because I want to keep my wifi off when I dont actually use it like when surfing the web or watch streaming videos but at the same time I wanna sometimes turn the screen on and right back off only to momentarily turn the wifi on to get my notifications like emails or whatsapp messages which I will miss otherwise
so how can this be done? I want to press power button twice like double clicking mouse to get brief wifi connection so it performs the synchronization each time I do the job. if that turns the wifi off too fast so doesnt provide enough time for the wifi connection. then I can simply set the time wifi disconnected to 10 secs after I turn it off
so the main problem is how to make it turned on when the screen is on. almost simultaneously so I dont need to keep the screen on for a couple of seconds.
I eagerly need this function because I want to put my phone in the pocket and time to time double tap on the power button which Is very convenient to not miss all the notifications.
it doesnt matter when I seriously use the phone as I said ealrier, waiting for a few seconds doesn't hurt in that case.
thank you
p.s) I tested this to several phones and only 1 which I have doesnt let it. any solution?
apps, settings, rooting, custom roms, tasker, anything will do, except for buy new phone
