Quick question...when i use to turn on my GTab...it would turn on..and i would be connected to my WiFi. But now..when it turns on..i have to go into settings..and click turn on WiFi...THEN it will connect. How can i get it back like it use to be?
No one knows???????????
I see you're using vegantab, did you use airplane mode? There's a glitch on almost all roms where you turn on airplane mode and you can't deactivate it, even if you turn it off and turn it back on, the tablet will show airplane mode as deactivated but in reality its still on, thats why everytime that you turn on your tablet, you need to turn on wifi. I tried telling people about this problem, but no one seems to care. All gingerbread roms have this problem and some froyo roms.
Strange..ive NEVER touched airplane mode. NEVER. Could i have bumped it somehow and not know??? I doubt that. I would see. Lets say i did...no other way to undo this? But then again..lets say i didnt...why it just start doing this out of no where?
Well the airplane mode problem is what it seemed to me based on the symtoms of the problem, the only way i've been able to get rid of it is to re-install the rom and wipe data & cache

Thats what im trying to avoid lol. Im not savy with all this. My Tablet was already flashed when i got it. Lucky its not THAT big of a problem. Just weird how it used to connect...then one day it didnt.
Hope i find another trick how to make it connect again. Thanks for replying.

Every time I turn wi-fi on, it simply says "Unable to scan for networks". Does anyone know how to fix this. I hard reset and that didnt help.
Try a full power outage. Pull the battery. Sometimes you need to clear voltage from hardware (especially radios) in order to clear the glitch.
If you find it necessary to do this a lot, there is a deeper problem.
If this fails, take it into the store.
I took it to the store and they said its a known bug.
They said they are fixing it in an update soon.
I don't know if its true...

I had the same problem, it started when my phone dropped below the threshold for the power saving mode, I believe I went into those settings and disabled some things and got it working after a reboot (turn fast boot off)

I'm just going to wait until the bootloader is unlocked and then flash Cyanogen mod 7 when he makes it for the Evo 3D
I'm having a similar issue, my wifi goes into sleep mode and says "unable to connect to wi-fi" when i wake the phone up, but then immediately connects back to wifi. I tried changing the wi-fi sleep setting in spare parts, but nothing fixed it.

Do you have wifi set to "never sleep" in wifi settings??? Also if your running spare parts+ it also has an option to set wifi to never sleep. Also are you running any apps that puts the phone to sleep??? Also in display settings try changing your screen off time to 10 min.
Locked & Loaded
I tried the "never sleep" setting in spare parts, but the setting doesn't hold when I exit the program and open it again, it goes back to "android default". I don't see anywhere in the phone wi-fi settings to change the sleep options.
I'm unaware of any apps I'm running that put the phone to sleep, and I'm not sure what the display settings accomplish but I can try it.
None of this happened before, only thing that really has changed for me is that I got the iGrip car dock and the phone has seen dock mode a little bit. That and I went to a house with spotty wi-fi and my phone would connect and disconnect at the range of the router. I've had other issues with app/camera freezing, I'm hoping it's sd card related or perhaps due to ota's not taking correctly. I'm gonna try a sd card format/phone data reset to see if that remedies all the issues, otherwise I might go in for an exchange.

BS. You shouldn't have to wait for a custom rom for your phone to be running normal. Take that **** back again.

This happens to me. I have noticed it only happens if I have had my phone get below 30% battery at some point and the power save mode kicks in. For some reason it is not switching it back once power save mode is disabled.
Sent from my iPhone with the bigger GeeBees.
The setting isn't located under Wi-fi, look under Power, you should see the options in there. Turn power saver off, or adjust it's settings, and see if that helps, I wouldn't use spare parts
I did a full phone/sd card reset, and the problem STILL exists for me. Spare parts did restore itself as one of the applications that got restored, I uninstalled it without running it though. My phone settings seem to have gotten reset as well. I don't get it, my phone was fine even with spare parts installed before.
I might try another reset and see if spare parts still restores itself.

Are you.running spare parts plus??? Also the settings for the wifi never sleep is located in settings/wireless networks/wifi settings. Then hit menu and select advanced then choose wifi sleep policy. Also make sure best performance is selected.

Ah, I didn't see that menu, thanks!
Rooted the phone then applied the OTA update and since then i keep getting a wifi error. Im currently out of the country so can't connect to sprint. Any ideas?
Anyone?
Sent from my GT-P7510 using Tapatalk
Yup, had this problem after applying this OTA.
When I click the checkbox to enable wifi, it just shows "error" and does not enable wifi.
A factory reset fixed it for me.
My wifi turns on and connect but won't give me any data

The Atrix has a driver related issue that causes problems connecting to WiFi access points in certain countries. I'm pretty sure they have figured out a workaround over in the Atrix XDA section, sorry I don't have a link for you.
Hi,
My name is Fisher, I have the same problem, I have the phone in Australia and I updated over wifi then my wifi just says error underneath it, also 4G does not work. I can turn wifi on by first putting the phone into aeroplane mode then restarting and turning wifi on while still in aeroplane mode. I have managed to get all working occasionally by having aeroplane mode and wifi on, then going to system updates which are greyed out then turning off aeroplane mode by holding down the power button and when ive done that i have a second or so before the wifi dies to click motorola software update that is now not greyed and it sometimes kicks everything on;-)
I have tried factory resetting the phone 3 times and formatting internal sd on third time, did nothing.
Now i have some dmesg logs with the wifi under error, working in aeroplane mode and all working with my trick, so let me knowif u want them all.
I have a feeling the issue could be a sprint app or process that disables it, look at the access/security settings for sprint zone, it can control wifi, everything seems to be briefley activated when i start the phone in the notification bar then wifi and 4g die, so maybe a sprint process detects that the phone has not activated or something and kills wifi and 4g.
I have reported this on the motorola forum in the thread someone else started, look for " motorola photon wifi error" in google and it might be the first hit.

Sounds good. Ill give that a shot. Lemme know if you find out more
Mine is working fine, though today I turn WIFI off and my battery had a run away effect. The battery drained 30% in 10 min and the phone was at 116 degrees. It also rebooted itself twice but now it is fine and I turned wifi on and off a few times and no ill effect.
and yep I have the update.
Wifi ERROR after OTA update
hello everyone
i am not a US resident and i bought this amazing phone i am using Cellcom Israel Sim card
i just saw the firmware update,the update run smooth but after the reboot i try'd to turn Wifi on
and getting an ERROR.
try'd to reboot the phone - wifi not working
try'd to pull out the battery and restart - wifi not working
the only thing that works is when i restart the phone in AIRPLANE MODE the wifi works
but soon as i turn the AIRPLANE MODE off the wifi disconnected and cannot turn
it on again until turn back the AIRPLANE MODE again.
i do not using any data plan connection i dont have any...
what can i do??
Just do a factory reset. That will solve this problem.
Its a known problem. Lot of people are facing it after applying OTA. Just do factory reset and you should be fine.
Wifi ERROR after OTA update

Factory reset doesnt do a thing bro
Hi, I had the same issue actually watch the router and say the wifi connect and then drop, i installed wifi manager and then for some reason it started working and i haven't had a issue since.
no sure why it did this but i also restarted the phone multiple times trying to get it syncing and it wouldn't until that program was installed then after i got connected i uninstalled the app and it still connects without the app
got installed "wifi manager" and again error "error enabling wifi"
Factory resetting does nothing for me, I even formatted the internal memory as well on the third time, the only way so far I have managed to turn wifi and 4g back on and also data as data seems disabled is by:
Enable aeroplane mode, restart and then enable wifi, then go to system updates and you will see the 3 options greyed out, disable aeroplane mode by holding down the power button then click on update motorola software and most of the time that has worked for me.
kc_sheets mentioned installing wifi manager, I have installed it but not restarted my phone as I've managed to get it all temporarily working and Ill test the wifi manager when I have to restart.
Let me know if anyone else can get them all working using my method.
For troubleshooting, I know dmesg is good and probably lsmod, what other linux info can help me find out what the issue it, I would not be surprised if sprint has done something to disable wifi, 4g and data as the phone starts up, but it looks like it only disables at the last minute, does anyones wifi connect as you start the phone up, I think mine may have done.
I'm hoping we can just rename the process or app that is the issue and have a non crippled phone what we paid good money for.
Fisher
just flashed the phone and guess what??
wifi working again!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! w000ttttttttttttttttt
----------------------
after reboot the wifi error starts again.
that means no luck
I'm also out of the States and I just started having wifi issues today. It would see the SSID, try to obtain IP, then fail. I just set a static IP, default gateway, etc... and that did the trick.

you dont have wifi problems,its your router problem
my problems are with the wifi connection its not even trying to connect or activated its getting an error when i press the wifi button.
Posted on motorolla forum:
Hey guys, same problem - briefly:
Sprint customer - overseas for the next 6 months,
1. OTA update successful, achieved over wifi
2. phone restarted, wifi connectivity lost "error" as with fisher and the rest
3. airplane mode allows wifi connection until GSM is connected again, at which point it gets knocked off
4. I /also/ fat fingered my phone during one of the restarts and had both wifi and GSM working, but it's my nature to test things, so i restarted and of course now it's gone.
5. I am not able to attempt wally's re-register with Sprint approach as I will be away from the states untill January
6. I tried the update sprint zone fix - no luck
7. I tried the disable roaming guards - same as fisher, some of them are green and grayed out, no luck
Thank you !
Data wont turn back on after shutting off WIFI sometimes unless rebooting phone. I have Cyanogenmod-7.1.0-Fscinate on my phone was wondering if anyone is having the same thing. Or is there a bug out there that needs fixed. I have tried turning it on Plane mod and off to see if that would turn it back on. And i also tired turn DATA enabled off and turned it back on but nothing had to reboot the and then it work any help please.
This has been a problem for some on mtd roms...I have never had much trouble witht it tho. My only advice is to never leave both wifi and data on at the same time...
Thanks I was just wondering I new to this but im catching on pretty fast and I love this site lot of information.
FWIW, this issue is fixed on RickS' 12.2 MIUI build. Not sure if his fix could also be applied to CM7? Maybe one of the CM maintainers/kangers could get with Rick about it to see how he fixed it.
I downloaded the nightly from http://get.cm/?device=i777 , flashed through CWM(after clearing/factory wiping, all that good stuff). Phone calls and the such work, data does not. It wont connect to data, I DID use the search feature before anybody says anything. Did I miss something to get data to work? I even tried entering airplaine mode and leaving it.
Figured it out, you can lock this or whatever. IF anybody else has the same issue, for some reason the hspa option was turned off by default under device>advanced. Turned that on, had to reboot my phone. Voila.
I've searched high and low, and can't seem to find anyone with this same issue caused by flight mode. I'm having an issue with TWLauncher on my SGS2 running 4.0.3 (Optus official update in Australia).
I've had this rom installed since its release in early April 2012, and have only been having issues with the occasional MAPServiceSamsung crashing with the SMS app.
This arvo I flew interstate, and hence turned the phone into flight mode, and then turned it off. When I turned it back on in the plane, the phone refused to open into the home screen, as TWLauncher kept crashing.
Initially I thought it may have been a flight mode issue, and somehow I struck some luck and managed to turn off flight mode so I had HSPDA connectivity again. But this made no difference.
I did a soft reset, wiped the cache, took the battery out for 30mins, and ended up having to do a factory reset to get use of my phone again.
Being interstate I have a work laptop, which doesn't allow me to use Odin and hence flash any different firmwares on.
I'm wondering if anyone else has experience this, and/or whether anyone has any suggestions on how to fix/make sure it doesn't happen again? Could the TWLauncher error be linked to flight mode in some weird way (I only ask as the phone had never done this previously).
Thanks in advance for any ideas.

I am also running on the Australian stock version (XWLP8), but not having this issue.
Can you reproduce the issue?
Or is it now fixed after wiping cache partition and doing a factory reset?
If the issue is still existing, you can try to flash another firmware (first another kernel, and only if that does not help another ROM) ... or you should use an alternative launcher.
I will try and replicate it again in my flight home on Wednesday. Whilst I am away from home I will limp the phone around as stock as I can.
Thanks for the reply.
Ah! I had the same issue and it drove me crazy cos it would take ages for the phone to restore itself..
I was using a stock Indian ROM and I guess my issue too was repeated after I switched on the flight mode.. Tried all the resets and other workarounds but to no luck..
Just installed a custom ROM now and everything's back to normal..
You can google for some workaround on TwLauncher, but for me none worked..
