Wifi cutting out - AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717

I reflashed stock gingerbread, flashed the stock modem and my wifi keeps cutting out every minute. Other devices on router stays connected fine. I tried factory resetting, reflashing the modem again with no luck. I also did try searching for an answer and most say to flash modem. Anyone have an idea why wifi won't stay constant?

Don't want to sound stuiped but when you did flash the modem? ..is it UCLA5 and did you check afterwards? In phone settings? ...seems something went wrong? ..I would entirely do it over.. Like clear date/factory reset...clear cache...clear davilk cache.. then install your gingerbread backup...or another gingerbread rom....
Also found a slight fix.. read the entire thread.. if you think it will work for you.. then I hope it helps: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1445766

Its at ucla1 isn't that stock? I tried the fix but still pooping out.

Nope. No bueno. Ill try completely reflashing stock once more. I don't know what's going on.

So i installed flapjacks rom and the wifi works fine. Although I didnt like this ICS leak version because sometimes, your cellular data craps out when being on wifi too long and only comes back after a restart, sort of why I went back to gingerbread. .
Anyway I might just flash back to GB and see if it works again.

If reflashing the rom doesn't work, try flashing a different modem.
The modems are posted in the development section, just search the first 3 pages.

yea, try the battery pull. If that doesn't work, try to odin the EC01 radio (I was told you can do that with the mez, but not sure). Also, this belongs in Q/A not development.
I've tried three different radios. None work. And I had to pull the battery several times for odin. And I posted this in development in hope of knowledgable developers seeing it.

Not to mention a reason for posting about a mesmerize problem in the fascinate forum - these guys don't use our phone so may not be able to help you
On a side note, this might be worth a shot, if not you'll need to flash a full stock build with odin with re-partition checked to make sure your phone is completely re-formatted;

Either way, if you need to continue - post this in the mesmerize general forum (and only there).
Before you do all that try doing a simple ESN swap. Do a forum search right here in the Fascinate forums. A lot of people lost their 3G data when flashing ED01 Froyo. If you have the same problem myself and most of us had then flashing other radios and roms won't do a damn thing but make you mad.

I ran into this same problem, I also have the Mes...here is what I did to fix, In Odin, I flashed the EC10 stock for the Mes, aqnd I checked the boxes "re-partition" and "EFS Clear", when I rebooted, I had signal (no 3g and couldnt make calls" but I used *228 and it re activated my phone, bingo, 3g back.
Basically what I did was remove ALL information on the phone, which included the MIN and MDN so when I re activated it and activated my data again.
You should try to hook your phone, up in qpst service painting and enter your info for the mez in the ppp tab

[Q] Using the unlock, backup, lock, and restore method. Works good but no wifi

So I have tried Alien and Joker ROMs and tried using the procedure of keeping 4G by the whole backup and restore procedures. Every time with either ROM wifi is fine under unlocked, but after the lock and restore wifi just shows error on the network connections screen. But 4G is working Any ideas?
TIA.
Blond moment: would a custom kernel stick with this process?

Hmmmm. It could be because skinny rom has a 1.3 kernel and when you flash back for 4g its hittin that roadblock of the stock kernel is needed... i would say if thats not it try these options clear cache dalvak cache wipe flash skinnyv1, make sure it boots up and has wifi and relock try again.... double check on that kernel thought though and let us know

I have cleared and even formatted all partitions still the same issue. Wifi works all the way up to restoring the locked bootloader and restoring the rom. Then 4G works but no wifi.
I am downloading skinny now and will try this today and report.
Thanks.

It should as Alien rom was used in the orginal procedure to retain 4G with Alien ROM.
Ok so you got skinny1 to boot with 4G and have his 1.3 kernel working(it is included with skinny)? If thats correct could you enlighten me with the process you took. I miss 4G but I'm a battery freak and like UV and OC but sure miss 4g. Thanks

Yes, but the problem is that wifi is broke it just shows error in the settings menu.
You can use the Guide below provided be Lokifish Marz, just replace Alien ROM with Skinny or any other ROM.

I thought 4G and Wifi should work with this, but so far only 4G is working. Wifi just shows error. If you get both to work, let me know what you did. I guess if you have really good 4G every where you go you may not need wifi. I do.
One more thing, after many attempts and playing with different and order of things, I find it more stable and less buggy if you do a factory restore and format system, data, and cache just for good measure. After the like 5 attempt wierd things like the stock boot up animation being retained after flash new ROMs. wiping, and formatting before installing new ROMs fixed this problem.

Ok, Skinnyrev1 is installed. wifi works and 3G but of course no 4G cause unlocked. Going to relock with stock image install, root, and restore skinnyrev1 backup into the locked bootloader and test. I will let you know soon.
So skinnyRev1 didnt work either, after going back to stock and locking the bootloader again, then restoring the skinnyrev1 rom wifi doesnt work anymore. 4G is working with skinny rev1 but again as with the other ROMs no wifi. I will try a few other things. Anyone else got any other ideas?
TIA

Well good news, I think I got it figured out going to do some finally testing. But I have SkinnyRev1 working with 4G,3G,Wifi and all the other goodies this custom ROM has. Going to do a few reboots and restores and I will let you know.

Kernel is 1.3 OC part of the Skinnyrev1.
After you go through the procedure I linked earlier in the thread, your wifi my stop working just do this.
1. Put phone in airplane mode
2. Reboot
3. Turn on wifi and connect to your network
4. Download bloat freezer from the market
5. Freeze SprintOmaDm
6. Turn off airplane mode so your cell radios are turned back on
7. Test and Done

How to fix WiFi range and authentication error.

Ok so I so I have suffered from authentication errors and ridiculously poor WiFi range since I rooted my phone. Or most probably since I flashed a custom Rom (omega) for the first time..
Now, after endless research and lots of trial and error (or as I say, terror) I have finally found a solution. Although this is NOT and ideal solution, it solved my problem. Not being able to use WiFi at work when I'm only around 7 meters from the server is an absolute no no for me! Especially twinned with the frustration of 30 attempts to authenticate and still having 70 odd % signal and yet no connectivity.
So here goes..
For me.. disabling power saving mode via *#0011# did NOT work.
Nor did flashing back to stock without root.
Flashing cm9 did NOT work.
Flashing stock did Not work. And full cwm wipe didn't work either. And all other combinations.
So by hard work, research into other threads, Lots of terror and pure luck. I fixed my problem.
Apologies if this does not work for you.. but if u Have simular problems to me. I'm sure it will work. So follow these steps
1. back up via android. Copy backup to pc if u try this and it doesn't work u cant go back to before. Also backup and apps or pics music etc to pc.
2. Download latest stock Rom with root
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1704185
Thanks to wanam!
3. full Wipe, wipe cache partition, wipe dalvik cache. Flash latest wanam stock Rom. And repeat the wiping in recovery again. Full, cache and dalvik. Fix permissions.
4. Now reboot. And test if u still have the problem. As I did still. If not... yay you!
5. Do a hard reset. Yes a factory reset. NOT a full wipe via recovery. A reset via settings/backup and wipe/factory personal data reset. WARNING by doing this you will lose all app settings. All android backups and all data on internal storage. I believe this will also leave your ext sd contents unusable so ALWAYS backup to pc!
6. Repeat steps 3 and 4 again. This made my WiFi range and connectivity problems
Disappear! Although I still had authentication errors
7.Then repeat step 5 and see your outcome. It's seems for me atleast, that a double wipe was necessary. I'm not sure about you guys.
I hope this works for you all!
Thank me if it did or If I've helped in anyway!
Happy to answer questions! Noob or not.
Thanks to JJE and d4seeker for there effort in trying to help me!

I have an old Galaxy S and I run Wifi Analyzer on both (CM9.1 on S and CF rooted stock JB on S III) and boy.... there are more available networks
on S then on new brand super-duper flagship. Is my new phone faulty?
I am seriously pissed.
i have tried the above methods in vain -.- still not resolved
-------------------
what causes this problem anyway? it just all happened randomly
Has anyone found a fix for this yet???
I'm pretty convinced this is to do with router settings personally, but I don't know much about them so.....
The settings for my wifi were already in there from when I was on ACE 4.2.5. I wiped cache, dalvik cache AND did a factory reset. The settings were still there. They are the same settings that worked before. Also, I went to client's offices that have wifi and I got the same problem there too. If it's something to do with the routers, I know a lot of routers that all of the sudden have issues that didn't before THIS ROM update...
Finally fixed my error on the 4th Step.
I though I would never made it , but I did
I had the authentication Wi-Fi error.
Thanks for the Guide.
(I used Omega ROM 50.1 v for this Guide quite same as the Wanam ROM.)

Help Not Sure What I Did

I have an Note i717M from Bell Canada that I have unlocked and using t-mobile radios to work with Wind.
For the last two weeks I had nothing but great reception and no black outs. I recently installed Black Star since I tried that ROM I have had almost no connection. I re-flashed ICS Blaze radio which I was using on Stock and CM10 with no issues.
Now no matter what ROM I flash I can't get connected for more then two minutes.
Not sure if anyone can think of anything that might cause this.
I am convinced it's not the radio because it works with my rogers account just fine when I flash the stock radio back to the phone.
Also I can connect to Wind Away on the stock radio no problem and stay connected with full bars.
Could it be the kernel?
Got it working I had to do the full flash in odin each of the partitions. Something must have been corrupted pretty bad. As soon as i flashed all the stock partitions and booted up and got the ics ota. Flashed icsblaze and back to full connectivity.

It sounds like you just needed to add the right APN settings to the rom for it to work. If you decide to try blackstar again makesure to copy down your APN settings you are currently using.

I guess he used this rom to back to stock.

By the way, It's 2.3 stock.. not ICS.
Yeah I went back to bone stock.
Here is the funny thing I have 2 notes, 1 rogers, 1 bell. When I use the rogers phone on darkstar absolutely no issues.
The bell version, it completely knocks out the AWS radio that I use and I am not able to restore it for some reason.
I had to reflash all the partitions to restore it. Tried 3 times same result on the bell version.
Wonder what's different in the i717M vs the i717R

Unless you have a keen understanding of how to partition a device, dont try.
Rather, use Odin or kies to push the factory image to the device, and let it run the partition mapping for you. Otherwise, you can damage the device and brick yourself.
Read up on all things note, in the general section at the top. Use the "super thread" and find the issue you are looking for.
Also, you can general search for the answers, as they are covered in many threads in this section.....g
