reset wifi radio? - AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717

I have a weird problem where,after a couple days, my wifi just stops working. When i turn it on, it just cuts off after about 40 seconds. Normally(when working) it will show a list of available wifi networks,but now will show nothing(when I know im by numerous networks)
This has happened couple times before, and just passed it off as a quirk. Now is the 3rd time,and the only way i have found to fix it, is to do a factory reset. Surely i cant keep doing that(and having to resinstall all apps)
anybody has an idea of what problem could be?
(LTE works fine,and im not doing anything strange when all of a sudden it just quits on me)
so basicaly im trying to find a way to reset the radio, without resetting the whole phone....

Try flashing just the radio in cwm

i dont have cwm yet, just root
and will flash radio up the flash counter?
i wanna stay safe in case i have to return

Once you have cwm no. Until then if you Odin a radio I believe it will trip.

Data disconnecting

Okay I know someone has probably asked this but I can't find my situation anywhere. I did s-off then ran the gb firmware ruu and no every couple hours when my screen is off ill turn my phone back on and see that my WiFi and data say on in the toggles but also say disconnected. I have to then turn the toggles off and back on to fix it.
I'm assuming this is s-off related. Do I just run factory reset and then run the ruu again?

What Rom are you on? Are you on .11 firmware or the leaked .22 firmware?

Do you have any app killers or juice defender running?

I had the ics leak then after s-off I an the gb ruu. I'm running newts xxx with no apps installed other than what's already on the Rom. What is weird is that the toggles say on but to the left it says disconnected. Switching it off then on fixes it. I just don't know why it would be disconnecting. I know there were radio issues with people flashing radios but I ran a full ruu
Have you tryed to reflash or okay with a different From?

I'll try it tonight. Maybe flashing the stock recovery first is my problem. I mean the problem is bearable because it comes right back on if I need it.

I've been having a hard time with ICS, S-Off and 4G dropping in and out. Not sure whats going on with it yet..
No luck. I flashed the stock recovery then the ruu and did the clear storage thing. My mobile data still will be on and after a while the icon goes away completely ( no 4g,3g, or 1x). I go to settings and it is marked as on. I then have to turn it off and back on to restore the connection till it happens again.

[Q] Internet Connection randomly dropping?

Hi All,
I have been having an issue for about the last 2 weeks or so where I will randomly see in my notification panel (when I pull down) that it says there is "no internet connection" and I cant seem to figure out why. This happens about every 2 days or so.
I try to toggle air plane mode (on and off) but it does not fix the issue and I am forced to reboot to get the connection to restore. I searched for something similar but didn't find anything.
I am dual booting with Siyah Kernel and my main ROM is Dark Paranoid and my secondary ROM is Wanam Lite (Samsung based). I use the MAIN ROM 99.9% of the time and it is here where I am seeing this weird drop of internet connection. I am OC'd to 1.6 but NO UV of any kind.
Is anyone else having this issue? Can anyone advise on what I can do about it? I have not flashed a new Modem since owning the device so maybe that's the issue? I'm in Canada and the device language was Dutch I believe when I first booted it after I bought it. Obviously this is the I9300 International version. I'm on Rogers Wireless in Canada. Can anyone recommend a good / new modem for it maybe?
Please advise.
Thanks,
I suggest you wipe caches and dalvik caches

I had a similar problem,have you toggled fast dormancy? I turned that off and it solve my problems with data.

I do wipe these probably every couple of days just to keep the device at "peak performance" but the issue still happens...

Ya know?... I haven't even thought about "fast dormancy" being an issue on this device but now I remember having a similar issue on my SGSII.
Do you have the dialer code to get to that menu? I will give it a try and see what happens...

Well I tried the "fast dormancy" app on the Play Store and my data speeds went to sh!t... I don't know if this is the answer for me...

Data connection issues (ATT)

I've noticed lately I'll be able to connect to data one minute and the next I don't.. even though I have full bars and the 4G icon is spewing its orange lines... only thing that fixes this is a reboot, then magically I have connection again.
I'm running stock 11c... anyone else have this issue?
My wife had the same problem a couple days ago. Our rom is stock 10o. At least this phone boots a lot faster than my old atrix.

I've experienced that as well. I'm currently using the ported stock Jelly Bean Rom and I have the 4GLTE symbol with the orange bars but when I try to load a YouTube video, it'll keep loading without showing the video. But when I reboot, it'll start it, but then when I want to watch another, it will just keep loading. I can still load up the Internet and the xda app but I can't watch videos.
Edit: So it's not that it won't load videos, it just takes a long time. I believe it's just not receiving LTE like is has before.

You may have tried this, since you mentioned the only thing that fixes the data connection is a reboot, but have you tried putting the phone in airplane mode and back again? That works for me when mine is stubbornly showing there's a data connection where nothing is happening.

I have done the airplane trick and that temporarily fixed my issues when I was on the stock rom. I also went in and got a new sim which seemed to help. I haven't noticed it as much since the new sim.

I've tried turning data on and off but that doesn't seem to work... haven't tried airplane mode yet.
I'm on 10o and I'm having the same issue with data. It is the radio because I've had this issue with other phones in the past and with them I had to flash different radios for a fix. Hopefully it will be fixed when they release the official JB for us Att users.

Weird huh? I'm going to try the new v2 of the rom and see if that might help. Fingers crossed.

I've got the same problem as well. Often times when I am in an area with full bars and I get the 4G LTE symbol, I get no data at all.
I'll chime in and say I have the same problem as well. It affects me both on WiFi and on HSPSA. I can only describe it as incredibly annoying.

Wi-Fi error Photon 4G

I am sure I have some kind of software issue that is embedded into the os somewhere. I have tried multiple factory wipes and the Wi-Fi will work for a few minutes then go to error when running on. I have a rooted photon running 2.3.5. Is it possible I can copy my wife's factory non-rooted photon recovery files to mine? Or can I run a custom recovery to fix whatever conflict I seem to be having?

If this is just happening at home try resetting your router.
It's happened to me and that fixed it.
Sent from my XT897 using XDA Premium 4 mobile app
Its not a router issue. I'm not as tech savvy as I was 15 years ago but I'm not a total dummy. When turning “On" Wi-Fi it shows error, it will not enable the radio. I've searched the forums and Google tried the FUMO.apk fix for the botched update. Tried numerous Wi-Fi fixers but they seem to only "fix" connection issues rather than radio issues. I upgraded to this phone so I don't mind flashing anything that may work on the photon. Just hoping to get pointed in the right direction.

Depending on your phone one of these posts might help.
2.3.5 locked is tricky.

My wifi doesn't work either - it just says Wi-Fi: error. I'm on MOFv2.0ish, not in the US, and I expected these problems to be taken care of either in the OTA or in the rooted ROM.
Can anyone recommend a way to get back to 2.3.4, keeping the unlocked bootloader and bypassing Sprint activation? I don't think it would be a good idea to install the bone-stock OS since it may want to do a Sprint activation on first boot.
I've also tried CM10.1 and the GSM didn't work. Any recommendations would be appreciated. If only the wifi worked this ROM would be great.

[Q] WiFi stuck on "Turning on"

I tried that, I tried everything. Even flashing a new firmware, non worked. I went to a local store, and he also flashed a firmware for me and he said the WiFi part itself isn't working, so I will have to pay about 110$ to fix it. I don't know, it was working perfectly, I went to the bathroom and then went back to chat with my friends and found it off. I really have no idea why this happened.
Anyways, thanks for the help.
If you have android 4.2.2 xxufme3 on i9300..then change it because it has wifi problem..
