While I was running the Stock SE 2.1 .435 release (rooted of course) my X10 was capable of automatically switching between the GSM data connection to any of my configured Wifi networks (at work and at home) without any user interaction.
I have a friend with a Motorola Milestone on 2.1 with this same behaviour.
Every 2.2 ROM I have loaded seems to have a problem with regards to this feature. Basically I have to perform a manual switch but here are two of the behaviours I have noticed.
On FreeX10 the SSID basically becomes disabled. If I am at home and connected to my home network and leave the cell area my 3G network becomes established and everything is fine. Once I get back home within the cell area of my WiFi network the WiFi connection does not become active. Instead I have to go into Wireless Settings and that's when I see it is disabled. Long press the SSID and choosing Connect gets me connected.
On [Cyanogen6.1.3]gingerbread[v01] the SSID does not get disabled but rather it continuously fails. Same use case as above except when I go into Wireless Settings I see the SSID "Connecting" and then failing and entering the "Remembered" state.
My friend with the Milestone recently upgraded to 2.2 and will test this scenario to see if it is inherent to 2.2.
My question is, would it be possible to take the 2.1 Wifi component and use that in the 2.2 ROMs?
It would be great this could get fixed, same problem is with the gingerbread roms.
Like u said, it doesn't even help when switching WiFi off/on again using my WiFi widget. U have to manually press connect on your specific WiFi connection.
Pain in the ass!

I have the same problems, tried both roms and ended up sticking with Cyanogen, simply because it was less of a pain re wifi but i still have reconnection problems when leaving my house. The answer is to manually turn off wifi then leave, then reengage wifi manually when i return. A pain but, a small one
Agreed. Toggling the power does not help.
If it is possible to take the WiFi component (for lack of a better word) from another build I strongly suggest considering .435 because it worked phenominally under various conditions.
yea my wifi doesn't seem to work well either with the FreeX10 rom
I assume you already tried Blade Wifi Fix? If not, do so.
The Blade fix was included in the CM ROM I installed. It looks like all it did was power cycle the wifi which as already stated doesn't help.

Try to delete included BladeWifiFix and reboot test again and if still not working install BladeWifiFix new from Market and test again.

FreeX10 is almost the same you can try it there too. What it does? Fix Wifi maybe, for some it fixes for some not so just try it you dont loose anything^^
i have been running free x10 for 3 months i suppose. it switches fine for me.
there where issues of WIFI NOT CONNECTING , no problems of switching though as u stated. so i installed blade wifi and everything was well.
i suggest what wolf says.

I know what it is intended to do but I was wondering how it was doing it. being a technical person I don't like the shotgun approach because the end results are very hard to interpret if you don't know what you are actually doing
but I digress I have installed it and I will be testing as soon as I get home

hi,
after reading this i though ...
me and wolf include blade wifi on our roms.
for me i don`t have any issue regarding wifi on my rom. i get out of home with wifi connected do a 1 hour trip to my work and when i get there wifi pick signal without any issue.
but......
i don`t check right away, so.
like i said me and wolf we include blade wifi and do some changes regarding build.prop to save some battery. one of the most consumer of battery is the wifi.
on SE roms search for wifi every 15 seconds. on mine i change that to 380 sec and wolf around 200 (i think) so...could this be the cause of ????
i personally don`t believe removing blade will do any difference but...maybe those who had this issues try to change build.prop to 15sec ?
well we might be onto something...after installing Blade I was able to switch but I did not time it...seems to have taken quite some time though. I'll time it next time but I'm sure since it will vary because it looks like it runs a timer and I don't know what the details are.
I wonder if Z made the same changes to build.prop as you guys have. I would be interested in testing without this change.
Also, it would be great to know what Blade actually does. I wonder if it circumvents the changes you made to the intervals in build.prop.
Also, any idea as to whether we can use the WiFi component from the .435 build in these ROMs?
Ren,
Is it possible to go in and change the value in build.prop:
wifi.supplicant_scan_interval=
Without reloading the ROM?
Sent from my X10i using XDA App
Yes.
Through root explorer. Just make sure you check all boxes on permitions and after that reboot.

OK. I've been watching what Blade does and all it seems to do is reinitialize the wifi. Seems overkill so I found this:
http://developer.android.com/reference/android/net/wifi/WifiConfiguration.Status.html
I want to write an app that will monitor configured networks and set their status to Enabled.
The challenge for me is that I've never developed an app before but I have the SDK installed and it recognized my x10 so I'm good to go. Ill try to get as far as I can but I will need some help. Is there anyone interested in offering themselves as a resource if/when I need some help?

HELP !!! here's a thing
my phone is rooted and on X10 2.1
my phone can scan different wifi but not my home wifi, some others wifi also can't be scanned, can it be solved ?
What do you mean it can scan other networks? Are you having trouble seeing networks or connecting to them? What Tom and kernel are you on? Can you connect to the network with other devices? Did this start all of a sudden or has it been going on? Did you make any recent changes to your phone?

Sorry, i am new to this phone, what is Tom and Kernal ?
i am having problem with seeing networks, i tried to use my ipod to connect my home wifi and it succeed.
It has been going for nearly a month
No recent changed has been made as i remember
btw, after continuous reboot of my router, my phone can connect to it
but what's going on wif the wifi ?
Damn autocorrect... I meant "rom". Have you flashed an aftermarket rom or kernel with xrecovery?
Sent from my X10i using XDA Premium App
No, i didn't flashed any ROM wif xrecovery or other programs
but i used ADB theme only
What do you mean adb theme?
If restarting your router worked, and other networks work, I'd assume the issue is with your router. But if you want, you could try re-flashing with Flash Tool or doing a SEUS repair.
Sent from my X10i using XDA Premium App
um...
sorry it should be adw theme
but i don't think it's my router problem ...
because when others use their phone to share wifi, i also can't see their networks but others can
Flash a custom ROM and see if it works with a different ROM. I know nothing should be wrong with the stock ROM but maybe you did something accidently. You could reflash 2.1 but if you're gonna do all that and you're already rooted why not just go custom.

Because that's introducing another variable into the troubleshooting process.
@OP: Don't do that.

Why not? It doesn't add any new variables, in fact its likely the opposite, if it works with a custom ROM then you know its a ROM problem. Flashing a custom ROM would replace the same files as reflashing stock, it doesn't make a difference. If it doesn't work with another ROM and you're positive it's the phone it could be the radio and you might want to try reflashing the BB.
It doesn't sound like its a phone problem though, check your settings and try the app 'Blade Wifi fix' and make totally sure its not the router or your home wifi settings. Is there a limit set to how many users can log onto your network or a firewall that's preventing your access?

i don't think there's any limitation on numbers of users using my wifi
i will try to use that app first
is there any where i can download the app, i can't connect to wifi to download it from the android market
i downloaded the app you mentioned but somehow i can't find it on my phone
Lol you aren't supposed to find the app it works as soon as its installed. But flashing a custom rom will help you because then you can see if it connects or not.
try to get wifi fix
Does anyone of you also have issues with wifi? I'm on CMv006 with baseband .54 and my wifi doesn't automatically connect when activating it. Sometimes my home network is "disabled" or "saved" and when tapping on connect, it tries to connect but can't establish the connection.. After tapping on connect about 5 times I'm connected. I'm having this problem since I first tried CMv457 but never on stock rom.. Fresh installing everything didn't solve the problem.. So what's the deal about it? Baseband issue? Wifi issue? Or did I miss something?

Mhhhhhhhhh remember I got this issue with my hidden SSID network.
I have made a full restore (Flash stock SE rom, then clean install v006) and it works "better" - Android always got a bug to reconnect Wifi networks.
You can also try Blade Wifi fix (or other one from market) to see if it helps
Blade didn't solve the problem. It made it only worse. Reinstalling everything didn't help either.

I have the same issue. Well I guess it's what we have to deal with 2.2+ roms unfortunately
call it a bug or anything. I've got the same problem.
Try removing blade fix, Atleast that is what I did and the problem is still there.
Just wait for 2.3 , I think it should be the key for all the questions!!
Yeah, I think so... What a pity that there's no other solution at the moment... Okay, we have to be patient.. I Hope SE's 2.3 will rock
Hello,
Tried both of them, got problems with both, and they both seem nice
Problem with copilot:
entry problem for destination. When I have to be in city "Deinze" it will enter "Ddedeideindeinzdeinze". Something is wrong with the input, tried disabling dictionary and word suggestions but nothing seems to help, also reinstall didn't help.
Problem with Navigon mobile navigator: Force close when launch without data connection. Turned internet usage off in settings, no traffic jam info, nothing...
Tried to denie permissions for the license check but nothing helps.
Currently running 2.3.3 Wolf V6 stock
Btw; I don't get the picture with Cyanogenmod; i can't find an official release on their forum but I can see FXP is using it in their FXP041, can someone explain the situation to me?
what navigon version are you on?

78 Views and no help at all? Bump
A few more details might help.... What hotspots have you tried? What was the error you got on your device or on the other? Could they connect to the phone and not the internet? What were the settings you used on the phone?
I only can get hot spot to work with liquids ics. Maybe try that rom

I've tried with All apps on market, and the built in one. Tried on stock GB, LIQUID ICS JMOD MR3, CURRENTLY ON THUNDERSTICK BAREBONES. YEAH thinking I needed to downgrade but nothing. When ever I run any tethering app, it broadcasts and I can connect but the client gets no data. I see my data working but client goes nowhere online. Plus after I disconnect (via stop tether) I can no longer use data either. It does the same thing as the client....just hangs. I've tried wifi tether for root users version 2.07 all the way to newest beta, with suggested settings. I can't for the life of me figure this out. Thanks for trying though guys, anymore thoughts?

Bump. Still no solution.?Mods
