Hey, My wi-fi/hotspot shows up as error when i go to settongs and wireless networks. i had the problem with alien#4 so i decided to switch to cynanogen 7.1 and still nothing :/ is it a hardware problem or i need to flash a different baseband/kernel or what? thanks for the help in advance if anyone reples. it would mean alot haha
I had that issue when I installed one of faux123 kernels.I re-flashed the kernel wipped cache and dalvik and rebooted.I didn'tn have the issue afterwards,hope this helps out.
thanks. I tried flashing a 1.30 ghz kernel by faux123 and i have a bootloop :/
try flashing a different kernel.I notice the 1.3 works better than 1.45 for me no bootloops.try going into cwm and clear cache dalvik and fix permissions.
ok,im using tenfars recovery. should i be using clockwork mod?
i don't know what the problem is :/ i still have error for wi-fi.. but i flashed 145 cause that's all that would work

Tenfa'rs recovery is outdated. Use romracer's instead (he just updated today).
*Edit* I ran into this same problem early on when I started flashing customs mods. Ended up having to go back to my "stock" backup before wi-fi started working again. After that, I haven't had it re-occur. That might be your best bet to get it functioning again. If not, it may be a hardware issue.
haha I just got this thing 3 months ago...hopefully it's not a hardware issue. but i'll try that
MY phone is completely effed right now..like the "soft keys" on the bottom don't work and the screen sensitivity is really low..it's like my phone is destroying itself or something.
Sounds like a hardware issue. I had the same exact issue.
Wifi error, some random reboots especially after trying to turn it on.
after much testing, reading, and playing around i started getting constant reboots. You could get too the lock screen, then it would reboot.
Before jumping to conclusions about hardware go back to your stock backup.Also use RomRacers newest recovery.then start flashing kernels again and see if the problem persists.Its easy to blame everything on hardware issues but often that's not the problem.

Alright, so I have a problem where my bluetooth and wifi don't work at all. Wifi status shows up as error and when I try to enable it, it just puts the phone in a reboot cycle where it starts up for a bit then restarts unless I can catch it fast enough to put it into airplane mode. From what I've been reading after doing some looking around on the net, it's most likely a kernel issue.
How can I figure out exactly what is causing this issue so I can flash over the corrupt kernel and try to get it to work? I've tried flashing 3 different roms but none of them fix the problem so I'd like to try to find a way to figure out which individual kernel is causing it.
Post what you've installed and what you're running. Usually using a ROM that does a full wipe will usually solve any issues. Are you using ROM manager to do your installs or CWM?
Originally I was having this issue on 1.83. When I used rsdlite to flash the stock 2.3.4 sbf, it fixed the issue for me. I later tried to install the new androidmarket apk and the issue came back.
Since then, I've used Tenfar's CWM to flash Ninja SF, Alien, the CWM stock 2.3.4 and am now running piCrust but I haven't been able to fix it again.
Details of my problem are here: http://code.google.com/p/atrix-dev-team/issues/detail?id=115&can=1&start=100
Samcripp asked me to open an issue, but it was later closed as its not related to CM7.
Basically after updating to 0.19 Faux kernel and OCing, my bluetooth does not work (does not turn on) and my wifi says "error" and reboots if I try to turn it on. Logcats are attached in the link above.
Before this, I also tried the 1.35 Radio but I'm pretty sure it worked after flashing back to 1.77.30P.
I've tried everything from erasing via fastboot and clean installing stock 2.3.4, alien and CM7 -still nada. Tried restoring pds partition, nada. Tried different radios, nada. Only thing I didn't try was to SBF to stock. Can someone point me in the right direction to a SAFE SBF that I can used on an unlocked ATT Atrix?
Here is the dmesg: http://db.tt/92GSbZ4
Says something about buffer overflow, vdd.
Any help?

I got it to work momentarily but then phone froze and went back to error. I had followed these instructions: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1077329 and then did a dalvik cache wipe.
What could this be? Hardware?
Think its definitley a hardware issue. I can get the bluetooth/wifi to work by taking out the battery and tapping on the back of the phone..but then it dies later.
Next question: Any way to get "Unlocked" from showing on the bootscreen?
Had a similar issue
I once had a similar issue with my wifi after installing the same kernel. Consider restoring the stock kernel before you consider your phone broken. When you change kernels, since the kernel is central often, hardware is messed upOA component,
Have tried stock kernel, 1.83 kernel, faux kernel and kholk's kernel..all the same. Wiped cache/dalvik cache after all.
Getting replacement device from ATT. Just trying to figure out if I should send back with "Unlocked" text or not.
Theres got to be a solution, somewhere ... I can't get it replaced.
Someone...
was there a solution to this i am having the exact same problem
ive been running jokersax cm9 shortly after flashing 0.33 i noticed i no longer was hooked up to wifi. After looking into it i noticed bluetooth is also a no go.
it never gets past "turning wifi on" i have since done a complete format/factory reset, flash .33 and .4, went back to Cm7 still no change i have also flashed multiple kernels.
Last try was flashing radio N_01.77.37p still no luck
Having the same problem. Wonder if we can buy just the system board of this phone

Yes, Wifi/Bluetooth is a hardware issue! My phone just died of this same fate. If you want to take advantage of your warranty, then flash the 2.3.6 SBF after wiping all user data. BE CAUTIOUS. And can we make a big sticky for this problem? There are literally dozens of threads about this
I've been ripping my hair out the last couple days trying to figure this out.
In the process of flashing a ROM and kernel I did a number of things:
-Carrier unlock (I feel like this is the culprit)
-Unlocked the bootloader
-Flashed Wet Dream (2.3.6 build)
-Installed webtop
-Attempted to root, unsuccessfully (let me know when the 2.3.6 root is available, haha)
After all this, everything was working fine--including wifi. But somewhere along the lines, maybe 15 minutes after I complete all these steps, out of the blue my wifi won't connect. It just says "obtaining IP address" and never connects.
So I got pissed and went on a wiping/reflashing spree. Got everything reset. The wifi was working great again. Then randomly, it just stopped working again.
Question:
Does anyone know why this is happening and what I can do to fix it?!
I'm dying here. Just as a side note in case you need this information, I think I'm going to flash to the 2.3.4 Wet Dream so I can root my device. Also, I don't mind going back to stock. If that's what fixes, it then I'll be more than happy to go stock. I plan on running webtop2sd as well.
Thanks in advance.

try check in: settings-- battery & data manager--battery mode ( see what presets u use).
then try check: settings--wireless & network settings--wifi settings--advanced (press menu key(the left touch key in bottom)--wifi sleep policy-- set to never.
btw, wetdream should be already rooted. correct me if im wrong.
hope this help.

Benjat, thanks for the reply.
My battery settings were set to "Nighttime saver". I set it to "Performance mode".
I set my wifi sleep policy to Never.
Still have the same problem.
My understanding was that WD was already rooted, but Busybox wasn't installing so I ran Root Check Basic from the Market and it said my device did not have root access

im not sure about busybox. what apps u running that require busybox? i want to try install it.
*i just try download root check basic. got message "your device isn't compatible with this item" hehe
Reboot and still no dice.
Ahhhh! So frustrating!
I was mid webtop2sd install and busybox is required for one of the steps to work. I'm actually not sure what it does.

nvm.. maybe do full wipe again..
what ver of WD u using? with what addon? im using WD 1.4.3 full
I've already done a cache/date wipes to no avail.
I'm using 1.4.4 lite. I'm thinking of flashing the 2.3.4 based WD though (is that 1.4.3?).
I could flash something else too, I guess. I really need webtop (with xfce mod) and I heard Wet Dream works well with it.
If this really is a software problem and it is the ROM's fault, then does anyone have a webtop compatible ROM recommendation?

i cant tell if its problem with rom or what.. 1.4.3 is 2.3.6 base. and yes webtop work well with it.
here's normaly what i do..
Boot CWM Recovery
Wipe data/factory
wipe cache
wipe dalvik
flash rom
reboot to fastboot and do fastboot-w & then fastboot reboot.
let it boot for 1st time (until stable/full load) i left it around 10 mins
then reboot back to CMW to flash addon. usually i flash 1 then boot.. continues untill flash all.. maybe a bit fussy step.. but i prefer all loaded before flashing another
*i never tried webtop2sd yet.. still dont buy bigger mem card coz funding for lapdock
** maybe can try this one to make it clean wipe.. http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1421522&highlight=fastboot+-w
Yeah I realized too late that everything cost me way more than I had originally intended to spend. SD cards have come down in price but still pretty pricey for a 32 GB card.
And thank you for the link. I'll try it out tomorrow and report back. It's 1:00 AM here in Seattle!
Hey Mankey,
Have you tested different Wifi networks to ensure that the issue is not with the phone or the ROM at all?
Also, check if someone else on Wet Dream thread had WiFi issues, if this happened with someone else, then they should have fix for sure!
Usually I do what bejnat mentioned and usually works.
Also, about the root, try to follow a root process again. It happened with me before, then I had to install a .zip file through Recovery mode to have root access again.
Hope this helps!
wouldn't just flashing the radio or a newer radio maybe fix his issue??
Yeah it doesn't work with other networks either. And as for root I don't think there's a direct way to root 2.3.6 yet.
Sk8trix, I think I'll try that after I flash back to stock 2.3.4. I've tried just about everything but the radio. Kernels don't fix it.
I'll post an update in a couple days. I really want to get this fixed.
I had the same problem with my dark side when I 1st got it and to fix it I flashed another ROM ,loaded it then flashed back ,cleaned delvik cache and flashed gapps then rebooted and 1st boot fixed my problem was using 2.3.6 with webtop2sd+nebtop app hope this helps you

Hi,
I have a major issue with my WiFi and reboots.
Background: I am using an ATT phone within the UK on T-Mobile network.
Randomely, the other day, the WiFi turned off and when I turned it back on, it says Error....
I have tried everything I can think of; wiping and reinstalling rom, erasing everything in fastboot, updating the radio (further question on that) and also kernels! Finally I tried FruitCake to get back to stock, still no luck!!
Radio: Are radio's carrier specific, i.e. could I flash a radio meant for Europe to replace the ATT one? (I am on .36)
What can I do now, please. Thanks

If it helps, i accidentally formatted the PDS partition a while back and the reason for reboot is AP KERNEL PANIC
Any help would be greatly appreciated.
I am having similar problems. Just last night my phone started rebooting frequently after having turl's v8 build of cm9 for probably a week and it was working great. However, now I have tried wiping everything, putting on different cm7 or cm9 builds and what I have come to the conclusion is anytime I turn the WiFi on, it reboots.
It is not even connecting to anything, just turning it on makes it reboot. I was on the .36 radio with this issue, I tried using the .37P radio and it did not fix it.
Does anyone have any other ideas to try and fix?
Benny,
Do you get the option to turn it on? I'm on cm9 and it'll show up like the attached after it reboots.
No. I dont have that screen. It just says wifi error and Bluetooth crashes as well....

From the other threads I have read, I think we are boned. It seems like the Broadcom WiFi/Bluetooth chipset is borked and the only fix other people have gotten is through an actual repair. I hope you are under warranty - I'm going to revert to stock and hope they accept it.

But, how come whenever I flash a new rom, the WiFi will work temporarily, i.e. it would connect, obtain IP etc for a few minutes then just not work until I reflash?
Surely that is not hardware?

Did you use Titanium Backup, and restore apps like Maps, Music, and YouTube? People are saying this can cause issues.
Also did you restore call logs after flashing? I experienced my wifi and mobile networking dying after doing that on only some of the new roms out there lately. It's a bug with one of the base roms, that a lot of custom roms are based off of. It was fixed with a new base rom version, but some of the custom roms have yet to officially update. Updates are under way though. Try out Morrison's 0.7 and see if you get the same result. It's been updated.
Although, you could be having a completely different issue. If you mean you can just leave it running after flashing and the wifi dies, I don't know what to say.

Tried all of the above and still nothing unfortunately. Just want to update on symptoms of the phone if that helps:
Everything eventually gets more and more buggy, even recovery is really laggy and slow
Data will stop after a few days use, and only fix that i know of is to reflash
WiFi does not work, it connects for about 30 seconds after a reflash, but then nothing.
Logcat says - Failed to Load WiFi Driver (after reporting WiFi HUNG)
The phone can crash when I plug in the MicroUSB to charge, when it restarts it says AP KERNEL PANIC.
I have tried everything except for flashing via RSD lite, do you think that could work?
Thanks
BUMP,
Any help at all with this unique situation would be very helpful.
Thanks
hey guys. Ive been experimenting with all the new roms from shostock to aokp to ultimatum.. I've tried them all. lately my phone started having a weird (random) problem.. Id call people but i can't hear it ring... they cant hear me and I cant hear them but the call does go through. I haven't been able to reproduce it.
I reverted back to gingerbread by way of cwm. did kernel cleaning script, wipe factory, wipe cache,wipe dalvik. then binnacle beta 7. I am experiencing the same problem . i also flashed a new modem. do you think its a hardware issue? i try putting it on speaker phone and no go either but my music resumes right after i end the call. I found a thread online that they seem to be experiencing the same issue but they dont explain what version of android they run very well. I am in an area with excellent signal. btw
http://www.androidpit.com/en/androi...-Speaker-and-mic-problem-when-calling-someone
thanks for any input
I have had that problem. The only time I had it was when I used the wrong Kernel (mic swap vs no mic swap). Im sorry I cant be more helpful. Im sure another more experienced member will help.
Yeah, sounds like you just flashed the wrong kernel at some point. If you haven't been able to reproduce it in a while, it probably just means you flashed back to a good kernel a while ago. So nothing to worry about.
No its not the kernel. I was using the one that came with shostock 2 I didnt do anything fancy with it. and then I flashed back to gingerbread (binnacle beta 7) and used entropys dd included in that and It happened to me as well. I used oding to flash to complete stock and repartitioned.. flashed entropys dd to get root and cwm and now going to try binnacle. Reasoning for flashing to bare stock was maybe 4.0.4 installed a file where the average wipe/data doesnt get to and was interfering.
