So, Ive done my due diligence in searching before I created this thread, and it seems like either Im the only one having this issue, or its new. Im guessing its probably something I did, but here it goes.
Like the title states, the wifi is not turning on. I check the box to turn it on, and it thinks and tries for about 15 seconds and then starts turning off. Im running Perfect Storm ROM now, but it was doing this with VirusROM and Twisted Sense as well. Im using the 4.4.2 kernel now, but Ive flashed a couple others with the same issue. I have tried turning on airplane mode, like has worked for other people with similar but different connectivity issues, but thats not worked. Ive restarted a few times and still nothing.
It did turn on last night, and was fine till I rebooted. Not quite sure what the trick is here, but Im stumped. Thanks in advance for any help!
Just curious are you using the 4gonoff? I know that I used the app to turn it onto 3g only (to save battery) and wifi would not turn on. When I switched back to 4g and 3g it turned on fine.
Nah, I only have 3g/4g issues at home and when I'm home I just use WiFi. I left that part alone.

Bump...intermittent issues. It says unable to scan for networks then turns WiFi off.

Interesting you brought this up. I had the same issue an hour ago. My wifi wouldn't turn on. It would say searching for wifi then turn off. I thought it was my droid wall or maybe bloatware freezer so I unfroze some applications and allowed some applications with droidwall. After that nothing. I rebooted just to see if it would help and walla. It worked.
:::edit. I forgot to mention I running VirusROM AirborneTB.

Yeah, its been like this for me since thurs. Not sure whats going on with it, but its driving me nuts. Are you running the 2750 battery or 1400? Its not software(I flashed fresh) and if it is, its not something I did atleast. haha.
I think Imma make a backup real quick and try another rom and see if its just VirusROM. Then again, since Jcase just released the new RUU, perhaps Ill just wait for Virus to update Airborne.
I was a noob before, and didnt do fresh installs. I just flashed over the old one. lol. This time its fully cleared and factory reset before I flashed in Airborne.
stupid back button...

We rooted my wife's Eris several weeks back with the above mentioned ROM and it works great around here where we have good Verizon coverage. The issue is that when we travel to areas that don't have great native Verizon coverage, she loses her 3G altogether now and can't do anything using data. Text and calls still work, just not data. It worked prior to rooting it in these same areas.
Any suggestions or settings to check? Thanks in advance!
My first thought is that you have the wrong version of GSB, 3.9 was skipped.
There are known issues with Gingerbread dropping 3G. I recommend searching the boards.
I'm on 3.9 right now
OP have you tried the airplane mode switching on and off trick? And is this fixed by turning the phone off then back on?

Yes, 3.9 is what it says in the Mod version on the phone, so unless that was screwed up it is version 3.9 as far as I can tell.
I have not tried the airplane mode trick as I read about it last night and we are headed up there today for a reunion so I can give it a try. I've not been with my wife the last few times she's been in the area to where this happens so not sure what all she has done to try and fix it. Pretty sure she did restart the phone though with no luck but we'll see.
Please refer to this post:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=11192510&postcount=46
Version 3.9 was skipped. You might want to try a newer version. Not sure where you got 3.9 but based on the above post from workshed 3.9 DOES NOT exist.

Obviously not but where did you download the rom from? Maybe there was an unadvertised 3.9 posted or maybe workshed forgot to change the version number when he updated it to 4.0.
Downloaded straight from the xda app
Sent from my ERIS-ADR6200 using XDA App
It's version 3.8. Workshed mistakenly put 3.9 in the mod version.

Forgot to update this thread...so we were in the area where 3G coverage drops for the wife on Sunday. I took a look at her phone and it mentioned something about International service or some such so I went into her Wireless/Networks under Settings and there was a check box for "International Roaming" so I checked it and it worked just fine!
She just never clicked it because, well, North Carolina isn't so much International! haha
I was having issues with that same version of GSB. Try updating to the latest version of GSB. That fixed my issue at least.

So i recently got my S2 a few weeks back. before this had.an Optimus One.
I put my hutch sim in this one and for the past 1 week my bars keep fluctuating between 0 to 4.
Now i am on vodafone and my entire family uses the same.
Neither of them have a problem.
Also I never had a problem on my P500.
Also recently I had received an OTA of about 20mb, still on ICS though.
After that update I have been getting random freezes, cant change lockscreen wallpaper, not even with quickpic. TwWallpaper keeps crashing and this signal trouble.
Adding a few screens.
Taken on the same spot. Also right now my sister is getting constant full bars!

So i was wondering what should I do?

2. Visit a service center?
3. Rollback the update, if yes, how?
Also I'm on Stock, non-rooted. ICS 4.0.4.
SGS2, send this you must!
Given it's a new phone, your problems have been caused by a carrier pushed update & your warranty is still good, the 2nd option (tho if it were me I'd probably mess with it anyways because I don't really care about warranties).
Re: S2 Network/Update issues.
So most probably its a software issue?
If so I guess I have my reason to root and install a recovery coz even I couldn't care less about warranties..
one thing though, like my P500, once rooted, the root can be reversed as well, right?
Also is there any way without root to rollback this update?
SGS2, send this you must!
Re: S2 Network/Update issues.
Hey vj the signal drop problem is a common issue on Vodafone network if you want you can try to change your s2 modem to see if will gonna improve your signal .
Use this thread http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1656005
Or you can try to root your phone using this method that I used http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1501719
Then you can try another Rom

thanks man!
I switched to GSM only since 3G plans are way expensive here anyways, also since I'm on wifi usually.
And haven't seen a drop since then, hope it stays so!
Also network issue aside I sometimes find the metal around the camera getting hot while gaming for more than 30-40 minutes.
Is it normal or should I go ahead and flash that modem, since it boasts of nominal temperatures at all uses?
And OT, are you also an ex-P500 user? I seem to remember you seeing around on xda. And I have been on OT & P500 forums only prior to SGS2
that heat is a normal effect for our s2 when we play a game or a movie and if you gonna flash that modem your phone signal will gonna increase and the heat will lower (tested by me)
OT : yes i'm an ex p500 user you'll gonna see some work for it in my signature and an rom port (not in my sig )
Hey all,
My battery life has gone to sh*t in the last couple days, and I have noticed in my battery usage settings that the top contributor to its demise is always "Shell" (screenshot below).

Here are my specs:
----------------------------
Samsung Galaxy S4 AT&T
Cyanogenmod 10.2 (09/22/2013 nightly)
Rooted
Sometimes when I reboot, "Shell" does not appear for a while, but I have not been able to pinpoint what triggers it to start. I tried wiping and reinstalling CM, but it still shows up. The battery drain is so bad, in fact, that unless I use the original wall charger that came with the phone, the battery life still decreases while charging.
I am posting this in general Android questions because I literally have no idea what is causing it. It could be a CM bug, it could be an app I installed that's doing something malicious (Lookout doesn't think so, however), or it could be something else I haven't thought of. I just wanted to see if anyone else has experienced this on any version of Android and get some help debugging. Even if you have ideas for how I can pinpoint the app/service that is causing this, I would really appreciate it.
Thanks!

Yea pretty sure it was a CM bug. I reverted to stable 10.1.3 and haven't seen the issue since. I guess that's what I have to expect for living on the bleeding edge I haven't seen anything about it in the changelogs, but if you say it's fixed, maybe I'll try the latest nightly.

I have a stock Nexus 4 ROM (rooted, but still stock), and I'm seeing 76% in "Shell" today as well, so it's presumably not related to CM.
Stock Nexus 5 and I had 55% drain over 5 hours today... What in the world is causing this? Never had this problem before.
1 day old stock nexus 5 and I'm having this issue...

Hi all,
I am currently using AntonX's unofficial CM11 for the P769, and its great except that like CM10.2 seems to be broken. In CM10.1 it worked perfectly and same with the stock ROM as well. So I decided to pull a few files from the stock Jellybean ROM and create a flashable zip that installs the old files that have to do with GPS. It seems to work pretty well as I was able to get a pretty good fix from a cold start in less than a minute using device only location settings, but it doesn't seem to work nearly as well as CM10.1 and stock. Does anybody have any ideas on how to fix this problem (I have already tried using different gps.conf files to no avail)?
Attached below is a screenshot of my latest GPS fix in less than a minute and the flashable zip that I created.
Thanks!

I think your files are the same as the ones already in the ROM.
What's wrong with GPS in CM10.2 or CM11 anyway? It never fails me, I always get a fix within a minute, even on a cold start.
As far as I remember GPS in CM10.1 was a little strange. I think I noticed that sometimes GPSTest was showing yellow bars but accuracy was in hundreds of feet, which actually indicated not a good lock. I may be wrong though, been a while.
Still a Problem

Yeah I think you're right that they're the same files because I was testing GPS again today and it would lock for maybe a second and then if I even moved, it would instantly drop. But this problem is definitely here because on CM10.1 and stock I would instantly have about 13-14 satellites in view, and be able to lock to about 7-9 of them in seconds, whereas now it takes about 1-2 minutes to get 10-12 satellites in view and lock to just five which instantly lose lock when the device is moved about 10ft. This is using the device only method of getting GPS so there is no use of wifi or cell signals to get the location because I have very spotty coverage. I just wanted to point this problem out as I've noticed it on other ROMs too such as BobZHome's CM11.0 and leolawliet's PenberRom5 which is also based on 10.2. Other than this little problem the ROM has been great and I thank you for your work AntonX!
On my P778g, i also noticed a diference between CM10.1.3 and CM10.2/CM11. But after some testing comparing to stock (my father has another p778 with stock rom) i discovered that the only diference is the signal strength: Under a clear sky the GPS works exactly the same but inside a house the roof is too much and the signal seems to be too weak, so it takes a lot more time to fix compared to stock. Keeping in mind that i never use the GPS inside my house this is not a big deal after all. I bet that no one is testing the GPS outside... try it.
If it wasn't winter and I paid my phone bill I'd be happy to go out now and test the GPS on my p769. I'm running omnirom tho, and I don't think it's cm based so I could have different results.
I'll post back here when I get a chance. By the way, the GPS on AOKP wasn't any better.

I'm running the 2/3 build of CM nightlies and, ever since the 2/2 build, my network seems to constantly be on Digital Roaming even when I know I'm in an area with service. I also have roaming off and set to "Home only" in my settings. Anyone know how to fix this problem?
Sent from my EVO using xda app-developers app
In the same boat as OP. Already tried updating the PRL and profile, disabling roaming data, changing to Home Only, disabling LTE, setting the PRL to LTE/CDMA auto, and forcing it onto the PCS 1900MHz band, but it's staying on roaming.
The odd thing is, it's only roaming on data and not voice/SMS service, according to the info in the Testing menu, and it's only roaming on CM11 (it was fine when I restored my backup of stock to update the PRL and profile). Haven't been able to come up with a solution, anyone find something that works? I'm hesitant to call Sprint considering it's fine on stock.
I'm having the same issue. I saw this on an alpha build of Pacrom. After an extensive night of testing and testing, the conclusion is the phone SAYS it's roaming but in actuality it is not. You are on Sprint's network. You can test the same way I did. Open your sprint data summary and record your used data. Now download an app, say maybe 5 mb on the "roaming." Wait half an hour and then refresh your data summary page. You will see am increase in used data, not in roaming data. So there's simply something wrong with the phone which is causing it to believe it roams when it is not.

My service is notably different though: less reliable, slower, occasionally giving false positives about data connectivity, unable to tether. I've confirmed this by flashing a Sense-based backup, it's definitely the ROM, not my service or phone. The 2/5 build hasn't fixed it, either. I'm going to try and flash it back to the 2/1 build, but is there any reason why this could be?
This came to mind when I saw this thread.. Apparently it's known and only cosmetic.

Sure, I've been doing the custom ROM thing for a couple years, jumped off Sense as soon as I got this phone on release, I'm well aware of differences in service. But there's a difference between "shaky/rocky service" and "basically non-existent service", even compared to the CM11 nightly a couple days ago. I have to wait a couple minutes to just load google.com in the browser, it's ridiculous.
I see.. that one is a problem. I hope you get it resolved.
