I tried the wifi direct settings today with another S2 and both phones see each other and I can confirm that they are connecting properly, once either of the phones send any file it bring me back to the scan for devices page but it does not see the devices.
I've followed followed this video guide and done exactly as what he has and still nothing... is this some sort of kernel related bug? using CF-XXKG2
Anyone , might now whats causing this ?

Hi everyone.
I have recently upgraded my SGA from original 2.2.1 to 2.3.3 XXKPE and i have detected an issue when i try to use the WPA + AES combination. The phone detects the wifi but it tries to validate the password a few times and then it is disconnected...
When i tried to connect with the older firmware (Froyo 2.2.1) i could connect the first time but when i lost the connectivity my wifi changed it's state to error and the only way to reconnect was restarting the phone.
No issue detected with WEP or WPA + TKIP.
Anyone else has the same problem? If not, can you tell me your firmware version?
Many thanks in advance
Same situation: S5830 + ASUS WL500W works only with WPA TKIP. But with TKIP speed is limited to 54mbps. Android OS 2.3.4
Just picked up a Samsung Galaxy Ace running stock Android 2.3.4 (baseband S5830LUBKP7, kernel 2.6.35.7-perf-CL366939 [email protected] #1), and seem to be having this same problem.
My home wifi is set to WPA2 Personal+AES, and when the correct passphrase is entered, the Ace just continuously cycles through "Connecting... Disconnected", over and over.
If I drop back to WPA Personal+AES, I get the exact same thing. *However*, if I drop to WPA Personal+TKIP, the phone connects immediately.
I really don't want to use TKIP, as it has known exploits. Is there a known FOTA update for a US-market, unbranded Galaxy Ace that fixes this, or is there any known workaround except "don't use AES"?
try DDKQ6
after flashing DDQK6, reboot phone and enter PIN
then reboot again but in recovery and install CWM5
reboot and wipe data/cache/dalvik and reboot

Thanks for the info. I'm new to flashing phones, would kinda like to stay stock if possible, since this is my wife's phone, not my own. Am I correct in thinking DDQK6 is an Indian firmware? If so, what would differ from US-market firmware, and would I potentially lose any features or cause any unusual behavior by switching to it?

Just update it over the air from setting -> about/phone -> update.
Make sure you have backed up the data like contacts and sms.
Hey, hey!! Problem with wifi? I'm an expert on this But I came with bad news, though.
What I found out:
There's indeed a bug that prevents us from connecting to this kind of wireless (eduroam, in my case). Everything seems to come from a buggy version of wpa_supplicant, everything goes well but then, in the second phase, it seems to "forget" the password or something (I'm not an expert, sorry, can't explain any better) I've been trying to change it, but no luck.
I've tried most of the stock firmwares, and custom roms as well. No luck, still the same bug.
There's an app that claims to fix the problem. wifi ace if I remember well (advanced config editor). But it didn't fix anything for me. You may want to give it a try.
I was expecting for samsung to fix it, but I've lost my faith on it. Neither google seems to be doing anything, as the bug remains on android 4.0.
I can provide you with some links, in case you want to read more about. And please, let me know if you find something.

No need to be sorry. You're replying to a thread that's current, in that I replied to it with my own problem. (And I did so because it was the only thread that came up in the Ace forum on a search for AES, which seems to be specific to the problem. Didn't seem to make sense to start a new thread when this one covers the same topic.)
hey there
i have been facing a problem with sending files via wifi direct for a few days now...
i can still recieve files via wifi direct from my friends s2 but am unable to send any
i am able to connect to my friends phone but the device is not listed under "devices on the same wifi network" while sending
on trying to send a file without connecting first,i get a perpetual waiting dialog
i am able to use other wifi related features such as browsing using wifi and can even recieve files via wifi direct without any problems
i have unrooted my phone and flashed a stock firmware (kf3) but am still facing the problem
i had sent files earlier using wifi direct when my phone was unrooted but noticed this problem recently after flashing criskelo's rom
any help would be appreciated
thank you
EDIT: Managed to fix the issue...
needed to set up the connection from my friends phone and then then send from mine...
after that connecting from my phone worked fine too...
seems to have been some permission issue
I think I've messed up again. Whenever I try to turn my wifi on, it gets stuck at the "turning on" status and then crashes after a couple of minutes. I have no error messages. It just closes after some time. The last thing I remember I did regarding wifi was to recover a stored password using Wifi Password Recovery App. Then this happened.
My phone is rooted and I have cwm. I've tried basic troubleshooting like power cycling, deleting wpa supplicant file (found in a post somewhere), tried turning wifi on using allsahare play, untweaking internet, but they just didn't work.
I'm ready to flash a stock ROM. But I'm just curious if you have any other suggestions before I do it because I've read some posts saying that reflashing didn't work as well.
Please help XDA Developers!
I guess no one has the solution yet. But I have discovered something, and I hope this would help. I found the file, init.qcom.wifi.sh, using root browser. I executed it and I got a script output stating an error. WI-FI chip ID is not specified. I have attached screenshots so you may as well check them out. Also, I noticed the files under date\misc\wifi are all 0.00 B which i think means they are empty. Please help experts.

Try reverting back to stock temporarely with Odin, this happens in my Note 3 and used to do the same in my S2, but only with the proximity sensor. The idea is the same, replace all settings to stock and flash whatever you want after (boot the stock though and test wifi just in case).
Why this works i have no idea, but it saved my arse loads of times. I can guess some internal devices might have flags configured which could be chip based rather then ROM/emmc related, but that is only my supposition.
My tablet will not connect to ANY WiFi network anymore. Everything was working perfectly, but had to send the tablet to Asus for RMA because it would not charge anymore. But now, when i connect to my wifi network it just says its saved and does not connect" I figured maybe it was an issue with my network, so I went out and tested it with other WiFi connections. It can scan and detect everything, but the same thing happens while trying to connect to anything. My Sony phone and laptop are able to connect to everything perfectly, but the tablet will not, even to the networks which it has previously connected to.
Things I have tried:
Deleted all networks by using the "Forget network" option and tried connecting again.
Tried "open" type networks without any passwords.
Rebooted the tablet several times.
Done a factory reset, twice.
Tried to analyse logcat data.
Anyone else know a fixs for this problem? Or do i have to rma it again..

Nobody ?
Same issue - any resolution?
I purchased two refurbished ASUS MeMO Pad Smart 10.1" tablets from Groupon - $109 each - in late Sept 2014. Figured it was a good deal so I jumped on it: I would have one for myself and one for a gift (for my father). Mine has worked without any issues, but I finally gave my father his tablet today (Mar 1, 2015 - yes, six months later) ... and I cannot get his tablet to connect via wi-fi. I've tried all the same steps - from the initial setup to trying other wi-fi locations to doing a factory reset. Nothing is working.
How can I fix this???? Please help!!
I just had the same problem reinstalling the stock rom.
It was a permissions problem caused by the su executable blocking che permission change, I solved installing a selfmade custom zip via recovery, ispired by this thread: http://forum.xda-developers.com/android/development/rom-asus-memo-pad-8-me180a-ww-3-1-0-42-t3027620
This is the url of the zip, if you know how to use it... https://dl.dropboxusercontent.com/u/18969675/me180a_permissions_fix.zip

My system worked for my MemoPad, but I have no idea if it's compatible with your model...
It's a simple script who changes the permissions, it doesn't install anything, so I don't think it could do any damage...
The problem with original rom was about "set_metadata_recursive" function not existing, so I had to list all files from the directories and call "set_metadata" on each one.

Hello, I hope it's not against rules to bump old threads, but I need the file from above post, it would be great if anyone have it and is willing to reupload it.
Hello,
since a couple of days I experience a problem with my WIFI. The phone is neither rooted nor does it use a custom ROM.
When trying to switch on WIFI it turns into light green, then green and then it changes back to gray immediately. Same behavior can be seen when trying to switch WIFI on via settings.
This behavior appeared all of a sudden, I dont think that I changed something or installed a new app that could have caused that error. Maybe there was an update of an already installed app...
I then installed a terminal emulator and tried to start wifi via command line with
Code:
svc wifi enable
. That command immediately causes a message:
Code:
reset_reason_init
Killed
Wifi module seems to work. I've done
Code:
ifconfig
and it comes up with a usual result except it does not have an counters > 0
I've also tried another app called "Wifi Analyzer". That app seemed have no problems with wifi since it shows a huge number of networks around (but of course does not connect to them)
So, from my point of view there is an issue with Android that wont let me start WIFI. I think it is not a problem with hardware.
I really need my WIFI. I also tried do do a factory reset. But that doesnt help either....
Any ideas on how to fix that issue?
Regards
Olaf
Go to Sammobile. Com and download the firmware you are on currently on check this by booting to recovery mode or check in settings menu about
Once you have it downloaded flash it in odin to your s5 then everything will hopefully be working this is a small chance of lost data so backup any important data before you flash the firmware in odin
If you have any questions just ask
sent from my nexus 4 I also own a voyager tablet and an I-phone 4s
