Wifi Error CM7 - Atrix 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

For some reason I've lost my wifi....
I was coming from gingerblur with working wifi then i upgraded to cm7 pre-beta 1 wifi was working, It was also working on Beta 2 then I noticed it just stopped working.... I have re flashed beta 2 a few times Ive restored a few backups, However wifi still does not work.... If I restart my phone go to wifi settings it says turn on I try that then it just says error..... and never turns on... If I restart my phone I have the option to turn on wifi again until I try turning on wifi then it goes back to error... and no Wifi... The reason I reloaded beta 2 again was because I was messing with my settings in CM7 and I turned on the notification widgets from the pulldown if i held down 2g/3g data it opened up a menu and i selected a 2g/3g option then I lost my signal... So I restored a backup ever since I did that my signal was back however my wifi has never worked since, Ive tried restoring and redoing beta 2 from scratch but I still have the same wifi problem...
Can anyone help or have any idea what I can do to fix this..... Should I flash a sbf file like fruitcake.... then reboot and install pre-beta 2 again will that fix my wifi.... or is this a possible hardware issue maybe I broke my wifi while pulling my battery......

Axura 2.0.5 loss of data + 3g

For the 2nd time w/ axura i have lost data connection. I flashed this rom on friday and lost my connection on saturday, reflashed saturday then lost again on today. I've reflashed for the last time. I tried turning on/off airplane mode, changing network modes, rebooting. Nothing seems to work except reflashing. I really hate this because I love this rom, but if happens again I'm going to have to try a different another rom. Does anyone have any ideas why this is happening? Has anyone else had this problem?
yes this has happen to me twice as well. Do you happen to have the wifi calling app installed?
I don't think so. Is that something that I would have to add. I didn't add anything extra or change the kernel. Are you only getting a day out of it before you lose the data? I can connect to wifi when I want.
Here is what happen to me. I was using Eugene's unofficial Odin froyo and everything was well except for the browser was laggy all the time. I decided to flash master's rom because it supported wifi calling and at home with wifi everything worked well, but when i left my house yesterday for work I could not get data or voice. The bars and the 3g icon were there but did not work. I flashed the rom again on the way to work and everything was good. Today we left to do some stuff and the same thing happen, I tried to go to into flight mode but it would not go back normal. In addition I installed the wifi calling app that lets you make calls over wifi and there is an option for preffered connection method, I had it set to wifi only instead of wifi and 3g. I changed that option and from there everything was working as it should. I also noticed that its set to Gsm instead of auto Gsm/wcdma and it wont let me change it. I don't know if that has to do with anything. So I am back at home right now and i don't get any service so i cant test to see if it has anything to do with wifi to 3g transfer.
I am really bummed because i like this rom alot, it has all the bells and whistles and its great on battery.
If this continues I think I am gonna odin back to stock then start over. It might also have something to do with my titanium back up.
Maybe it's a Georgia thing. lol. When I lose it the task bar only shows the bars, nothing else ( no 3g or edge). I'm with you though this is a great rom. If it happens again I may go back to stock and wait for the official froyo. Not really sure what else to do.
Is it okay to install the JI2 or JI6 modems on a Froyo ROM? If so, you could give it a try. Fortunately, people have created flashable .zip's for both.
This happened to me also. I lost my data and voice connection. Checked and saw that airplane mode was on and no matter how much I unchecked it, it still stayed on airplane mode. I reboot my phone, and reboot and reboot the **** out of it and now its been working just fine for more than a day now.
I don't know if it is ok to install those on a rom. My knowledge on that kind of stuff is very limited to say the least. This is my first rom. If anyone knows about this, your help would be greatly appreciated.

JI2 and JI6 are 2.2 capable.

Check the download section. Also I can't confirm but from what I remember the JI2 + JI6 both have the bug where switching radio modes (edge / 3g) will force you to do the flight mode reset.
I also had this issue because it always happens when I stream music while driving.
About not being able to get out of airplane mode. I don't know if it was just because I was tired, but every time I used the reboot feature instead of powering down, it would never get out of airplane mode. So, when I looked carefully, reboot, airplane mode, and another option was greyed out while power down wasn't. I found it strange, but whatever. I fully powered down and then turned it on. Airplane was now off.
I was on Axura 2.0.4 and because of this issue, I switched back to Obsidian. It could possibly be the modem, but at the time I didn't check it. Just report it to Master and hopefully the bug can be found.

Wi-Fi Autoconnect

All I have been using Longhorn 1.1 for about a week and since yesterday my wifi won't auto connect and turns off when the phone sleeps, despite it being set to never sleep. I have tried forgetting the network, and reconnecting. I have used my nandroid backup and nothing seems to help.
Has anyone got any suggestions of a fix?

Wipe everything, flash it again and do a factory reset before boot and see if you have the problem with a fresh ROM install, if not then you know it has to be one of your apps causing you problems
Ok will try thank.you

Xron vB2 Wifi problem

Not sure why only SOME people have wifi issue.
I was using Xron vB1.3 for a while without any wifi issue. Since I update to vB2. Wifi drop off like crazy. Switch back to vB1.3 .. no help.
Today I did a ACMEUninstall and ACMEInstall CM73.5 from flesh. Wifi drop off still the main problem. Tried other wifi network in McDonald. Still the same. Flash it back to Xron vB1.3 ... wifi problem remain the same.
What I will do is ACMEUninstall it again and start with CM7 3.
Is that wifi is control by the config file /etc/wifi
Any recommendation is welcome .... ?
i only just put xron on my touchpad. but i put vb2 on and it wouldnt even connect to wifi at all. just got stuck on obtaining ip address. i uninstalled and reinstalled it with the same result. it wouldnt connect until i put b1 on it
I've tried all the tomorrow from 3.0 to vb2... They are giving me Wi-Fi connection problem..
Log on my router, channel is set to Auto and is using 11. I switch it to 7 and connection work fine. I test it for about an hour and got stable connection. Further testing with channel 1 in great success.
So it may still have trouble when trying to connect public hotspot.

I don't now have the wifi problem.
I did have a looping problem a couple of versions ago, but fixed it by rebooting the router; another fix I've read about is setting the channel # to 4.
But erasing everything and starting fresh is a good idea also.......

The same thing happened to me. I always thought it was the router until it happened to me. My wifi worked perfectly until B2, after that it would boot with wifi but would shut itself off after a little while. The wifi bars would stay blue but it would not connect without going into the wifi settings.
same here...very annoying not sure what to do...tried changing the wifi channel and reseting router, nogo.
I am in the same boat, just loaded android on it for the first time and used vb2. Tried all the fixes I could find, I am not even sure how I go about changing versions (roms) now so I guess I have some reading to do..
I am not running vB2 yet but I have been seeing that it might be a problem with your date and time. Make sure your date and time are correct.

I just went from 1.3 to b2 as well. I was also having no issues, then started having nothing but issues after the update.
I was able to fix mine after re-reading the OP for xron.
I booted back into CWM, cleared cache, wipe data / factory reset. After it booted when I was presented with the clock info I did not select auto (as I did the first time) changed the time zone, then changed the time by one minute. After that point I turned on wifi and connected to my router. Haven't had any wifi issues since.
Also, I did a titanium backup restored of missing apps only, no data. But, I am still having lots of fc issues, like with the xda app, when ever I try to sign in.

Wifi Channel
Humm ..
More sucessful when using lower channel no. 1-6.
This is the experiment I did....
- Got solid connection on channel 6.
- Manually switch my router to channel 11. Connection still fine and WiFi Manger report changed to 11. Browsing without any problem for a while.
- Reboot the TP. No connection, router not in range. Wait for about 5 mins. (Not doing anything on the TP) It connect ...
- Reboot .. connect is fine ..
Oh .. I'm using Xron vB2.2 at the moment...

Wifi issues on cm9

Ive been using minicmsandwich for a while, and had no issues with it (yes, I know the simple solution would be to go back to using that rom); I recently flashed cm9 and am consistently having wifi issues with it. I push the wifi toggle switch and it stays at the screen where it says turning wifi on(in the wifi menu). I'm wondering whats causing this issue. I've gone back to minicm, and the wifi works, flash back to cm, and no wifi :/
I have a sk17a

[Q] Internet isn't working and mobile data is on by default?

Hey guys, today what happened randomly on my S3 is that the internet stopped working - WiFi doesn't work although it's connected to a network, and nor does data - it doesn't connect, it's like it was off. I tried restarting my phone, turning WiFi on and off and it just doesn't work. Also what is very weird is that if I turn my phone off and turn it back on, mobile data will be turned on straight away, even though it doesn't work. What is going on? I'm running the latest nightly of Omni Rom 4.4.2 (I updated it after WiFi stopped working, so it's not a problem with the nightly).
Any help is appreciated!
After numerous reboots and reflashing Gapps it seems to be working again... Apparently it was a problem with Google services or something.
