Hey guys, im new at XDA (btw i love it) and i was wondering if someone can help me out. On certain ROMs, like Das Bamf rc4.9 there is a check box next to the wifi option under quick settings. But on my current ROM, Gingeritis 3D Beta 6, there is no check box, but a red exclamation point hovers over the wifi symbol. I know it is not a big deal, but little thing like that piss me off lol. I can still access wifi settings from quick settings, i was just wondering if a fellow XDA member might have an explanation for this or how to fix this minor issue. I will post a picture of this in a minute. Thanks in advance!
i do not have enough post to post an outside file, cant post the picture:/
just going to post on here a couple of times so i can post the pic... sorry for any annoyance
Anyone have any ideas?

Check Wifi Settings under Settings->Wireless&Networks. It will probably indicate that an error occurred at the top. A lot of times this is caused by the incorrect wifi kernel module. Try flashing another kernel known to work with the rom you are running.

Did you check to see if you're router's DHCP is giving you an IP?
no this has nothing to do with the router. this is a cm7 problem.

yes and its green
do a logcat dump of before you enable it (and 5-10 seconds after) and then during trying to connect to a website in the browser.
if you aren't aware of how to do a logcat capture, this will do it for you in a user friendly way http://www.appbrain.com/app/catlog-logcat-reader/com.nolanlawson.logcat
then post what you get on pastebin.com and link.
I think it's just a current bug in CM7. remember its pre alpha. I have the same problem.

possible fix
apply the wifi fix again (or if you have not already) and try again. I had to do this myself.
I am trying to get my post count up to 10 so I can post on the CM7 thread as I have noticed several bugs. The lockscreen is slow to close or open for that matter. Calls do not always show up. Certain emails don't show anything but the little rotating circle and then the obvious like wifi and GPS have to be fixed to work without reflashing or installing separate zip files.
Does anyone know if we are supposed to post bugs on the CM site?
I'm working on a new rom for the captivate based on the kh3 leak and everything works great other than wifi.
So far I've gone through countless posts on how to fix issues with wifi, changing some files related to wifi, removed files that were said to fix it, checked router settings, did all wipes and factory reset, tried non modified kernel and a ton of other things and the only thing that works is connecting using a static ip and that isn't something that i think is ok in a rom I'd like to release as a 'daily driver' especially to the public.
If anyone could point me to some information to get this working right that'd be awesome I've been going crazy trying to find a fix for this for almost a week and its the only thing holding me back from releasing the beta of my rom.
If you need any info or logcat output i can provide it, just let me know, would already uploaded the logs and post the links but I've had a very busy day and its time for some sleep.
bump for the day, really need some help here guys, I've gone through everything I've found about issues with android wifi issues and nothing will work.

Hi all,
I've posted a couple times before on getting the wifi working on stock Moto android for the photon, I cannot reply on the dev forum discussing this cm9 rom as I'm allegedly less than 10 posts or something.
Each time I boot up with aeroplane mode off (so all network stuff is on) com.android.phone crashes and I just have to press ok, it happens again each time I enable then disable aeroplane mode or type *#*#4636#*#* and turn off then on the radio.
I cannot get any mobile connection, I think the radio cannot turn on as the GSM service is "radio off".
Any ideas on how I should troubleshoot, I think loads of people have the issue but the recommended fix does not work for me (and others).
The recommended fix is to edit /system/build.prop and change ro.telephony.default_network from 7 to 0 and this does not work for me (editing it with root explorer).
I understand that it changes the network type to WCDMA prefered (I think that is another name for UMTS). One can also change the prefered network using the above code in the dialer and scrolling down to just above the button to turn the radio off/on.
Any ideas?
Update:
Sorry for taking ages to reply, seems like most people using the mopho are on Sprint using CDMA and so don't have issues, I'm in Australia on Vodafone so use GSM(2G)/WCDMA (3G).
I got this working ages ago and after a few version changes, I'm now on beta 0.4.5.1 as camera would freeze after taking a picture (including freezing the camera system so face unlock stopped) on beta 0.4.4.
Yes, reflashing rom after editing ro.telephony.default_network to 0 does fix it, but one does not have to reflash, just reboot into recovery and do factory reset other basics may work, though I tried cache, dalvik cache and permission fix, that did not seem to fix it for me. I think factory reset in recovery formats: data, cache, ext-sd/android....something file and one or 2 other things.
I think formatting data gets rid of all your settings, maybe one does not need the data reformat, I wonder if the android file on the SD card has certain settings with the RIL.
When you are having the GSM issue and no signal, under the more menu which is under wireless & networks, there is no "mobile networks" option and when dialling *#*#info#*#* (4636) under phone information, I think GSM service says "radio off".
Yes, after I did make a post, it did say 4 posts and then I actually knew I how many I had done, I was unsure as I had posted quite a lot about the early wifi issues when Spring crippled the original rom but I was also posting in the Moto owners forum and could not remember how many posts I had done in this forum.
Any way, will update if I think there is anything else useful to add/ask. I just love the openness of Android, especially compared to the iPhone, its just so great that someone may download the source and port it to a device such as what Joker and the others helping him out did, so now we have ICS on a very powerful and capable device. As much as Jobs may have had all sorts of issues with similarities between Android and iOS, we have more use from it and "like" google better from it (without spending crap loads of money on one of like only 2 devices available, we just have soooo much choice;-)

Ok, so I understand that editing the file line above (/system/builld.prop , line ro.telephony.....) to 0 instead of 7 sets the network as WCDMA prefered (it even says so in the file just above the line you edit).
When dialing *#*#4636#*#*, I see GSM auto (PRL) instead of WCDMA prefered even after reboot.
It seems that the system is not reading that part of the build.prop file or its being over ridden by something else, how can I troubleshoot?
It stays on GSM auto (PRL) even if I change it in the dialer, exit and then type the code back into the dialer.
Have you tried relishing from scratch? & start from cm9 0.1.0 2d not 0.2.0 . I say that because when I first tried cm9 I started from cm9 0.2.0 and I had lots of problems and battery drains fast but then I clean everything off and redone it from cm9 0.1.0 2d note everything is working like it should even better . Hope you getting going...

If I remember what was said in the cm9 thread you have to edit build.prop from the zip, and then flash, not edit after flash or it doesn't work.

Sounds like the other guys have you helped with the FC portion, but nobody has addressed the first complaint. You're currently showing as having 5 posts to me when I look at your profile, so it's not alleged you're under 10 posts, you are under 10 posts. The word "allegedly" implies you disagree with that post count and if so, I'd suggest contacting an admin to have it looked into. I don't spend too much time on XDA so unfortunately I don't know who (specifically) to suggest you contact.
Hope you get it all sorted out! Cheers!
post count
ya the to little post count thing is semi wack. i understand why its there, but i deff still feel you pain. I have been a avid reader of most everything mopho related since about October, but am not much of a poster until not i guess
voicemail
I have ics on my mopho but Im not getting any voicemails. When I get a call and it goes to voicemail i receive a text that says I have received a voicemail and to call a weird number. When I do sometimes it asks me if I have a new phone with voicemail and sometimes its just a busy tone. Is anyone else having this problem?

How do you edit files in the zip? Im trying to replace the APNS file but i cant delete the old one. When I unzip it, replace the file, then rezip it, the file fails to flash. Any suggestions?

Why would you ask that in a Photon forum?
Hello friends,
I am actually a Sense convert, thanks to the combo of CM10 and AOKP, found in ROMs like JellyBam and PAC Man...
The ONLY thing that's making me unable to use those ROMs as my Daily Driver, is the following issue:
1. Turn on 3G and GPS togther
2. Launch map and choose a place to Navigate to (Navigation is launched)
3. EVERYTHING LOCKS PERFECT! My turn by turn is now ready
4. Give it a minute or two on the road and BOOM! The phone loses signal, 3G is cut off, GPS loses its lock, and I am stranded in the middle of my destination
Give it a minute or two... sometimes minutes on end, and the GPS locks again (after signal is restored and 3G returns), but shortly soon after, the issue repeats itself.
Now, can someone please confirm for me that that is indeed a CM10/AOKP bug and all of you have this issue? Trust me, I have tested it in MANY areas, it's not a weak signal issue. If I only have my 3G on, the connection is RARELY lost (probably with bad signal), but when GPS is used WITH 3G, it's almost UNUSEABLE and dangerous to navigate with, due to the loss of attention from the road and losing your turns ALL THE TIME!
I would appreciate any help on people confirming that I am not alone on this one, and that if you guys know any fixes or workarounds for this? I would love to offer a Logcat even, but personally, I have given up on Devs never willing to do that for the issues I have reported in the past. Not complaining, just saying they are busy or just don't want to help me with Logcats.
Thank you and I hope everyone is well. Appreciate you guys reading the message.
I've been on cm10 for over a month and have never had that problem. I've used navigation for 2 hours straight without a hitch.
Are you on the cm nightlys? I use the irc builds.

I am suffering from the same issue, it persists for me on all CM10 builds and JellyBAM. I think I did what you said, but the bug did occur again (while using nav, gps and 3g signal goes out for a few minutes). I just wanted to double check what you were suggesting. When you say menu, reset, do you just mean reseting the phone after installing the GPS status and toolbox, or is there a menu option in GPS status and toolbox I'm not seeing?
Thanks,

He means download the app. Open the app. Then hit menu from within the app. Choose reset. Then close the app. Then reboot your phone and try your GPS.

Thanks for the quick response. Maybe I'm being stupid (I hope I am), but I do not see the reset option when I hit menu from within the app. I see Tools, Share, Radar, and Settings. Is it the Tools-> Manage A-GPS state -> Reset?
Thanks again.

Yea I'm thinking that's it. I'm not a 100% sure as I've not had this issue or a need to use the app. However that would seem to be it. If that fails look threw the settings for anything that has the reset option. Also being cautious is never stupid. Hope this helps.

Yes, that was it. How on earth did someone know to do that based on just that symptom?? Why is there no way to do a GPS reset like that via the system menus?

I am having a peculiar issue. My Wi-Fi drops out and then reconnects every 30-45 minutes or so. I have the latest version of the ROM, flashed the boot.img in the thread, but it still doesn't fix my issue. It doesn't matter how far I am away from the signal, it just drops out temporarily, and then reconnects. I can't explain it. Other than that, it seems to be working great, but before I rooted and flashed, I never had any issues of any kind with the WiFi.
Also, it may be worth noting that I don't know for sure yet, but it may also turn on the WiFi automatically even though I have it set not to. Sometimes when I am out and about, I'll get a popup saying that WiFi networks were found nearby, do you want to connect etc...
Any help will be appreciated, I love this ROM and can't see myself going back on stock but this is a pretty cumbersome issue...
Re: WiFi Issue On Venom
Have you tried it out on other routers?
And fir the asking to join networks, there is a setting in wifi>advance for that.
Sent from my HTC6435LVW using xda app-developers app
About the only thing that I haven't tried is another router, but the other devices on the network don't seem to be having any issues. Then again, it is an Airport, so...Yeah, I won't fully know until I get a chance to test it elsewhere...
But I know about the advanced setting and have it disabled. That's why I'm wondering it its something in the ROM or something that I did wrong that it keeps trying to come come back. My guess is that it's disconnecting the mobile network and resetting it, just as it is doing on the WiFi...
Update
Just in case someone else runs into this issue, the problem was with an app that I used to change my host name. It would intermittently interrupt my connection trying to do that. I uninstalled it and edited my build.prop file the old fashioned way. The issue didn't have anything to do with Venom, just the fact that I had rooted and tried new things.
Thanks for your help!
