Hey XDAers,
A couple of months ago I had issues with WiFi and wireless tethering on my MT15i (TmobileUK). I used CWM recovery to restore the phone but the issue persisted.
Whenever I start wireless tethering from the settings I get an error appear in text underneath the toggle button and it then cuts out.
Has anyone experienced this problem before? Just to say im using a locked bootloader so reflashing the ROM is out of the question.
Will updating to 4.0.4 when my SI number becomes available fix this issue?
Apologizes for the brief error description, I can post screenshots upon request.
Thanks again in advance.
Take care.

Another wifi issue...
I believe the issue is resolved in SEVERAL other threads.
Search.
[EDIT] Also, what have you done to try and rectify this issue? Did you lick the usb port? How about sniffing the screen? Did you try that? ... Dalvik wipe might help.

Try flashing a different kernel. If you are using the zedomax kernel form galaxys2root.com that is your problem.
I had the same problem just do a wipe and redo the flash. Try aokp ROM I moved from shostock to aokp.

Do you have any other devices running off your wifi? does it even work?
either your doing something seriously wrong with the flashing proccess, your wifi is broke, or your phone is broke.
Definitely try rebooting your modem/router.

Even if other devices work on your router, you shouldn't count that out. I had a ton of wifi problems on my dinc2 but my desktop and laptop connected to my wifi just fine. I finally rebooted it and it fixed the wifi issues on my phone. Another time all it took was changing the broadcast channel on my router. It's worth a shot since it's easier than sending the phone back.

I have also had problems like this. Have you tried it on other WiFi networks? If it acts the same on other WiFi networks I think you phone's WiFi is dead.

Good point there. My router is actually on its way out and requires rebooting every now and then for certain devices to connect. I have my phone, laptop, kindle, and a PS3. randomly they will have trouble connecting, but wifi will never turn itself off on my phone
Check this post out. http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1731802
The guy used some app from the play store to fix his WiFi.
ok..im still tryimg to figure out what is causing this issue..
After installing stock 2.3.4 my wifi turns on.Scans for few seconds and turns off by itself.If i enter the menu i get when i dial *#*#4636#*#* during this period and check status
wi-fi state shows enabled
but
Supplicant status shows nothing.
So i thought this issue is probably due to an error in wpa_supplicant file and i replaced it.But still wifi will turn on for a few seconds and turns off by itself.
Also if i enter stock 3e recovery it shows this message.
--Appling Multi-csc...
Installig Multi-csc
can't access to '/system/csc/ATT/system/'.
Successfully applied multi-CSC.
is it due to a problem in a currupted partition..or something like that?if so how can i correct it?i have read that if i flash stock with pit with repartition enabled it will repartition.But also read that it is quite dangerous.
can somebody help me with this...
thanx guys for replies.

Hey all.
I just got my sgs2 back from samsung because the mainboard was screwed.
I got it back for a week now, and the problem is. Sometimes when I turn on my wifi. The wifi wont turn on. But the button says its turning on. I cant turn it off than. After a while my phone just reboots.
Is this a known bug in 4.0.3?
Its very annoying. Can someone help me?
Kind regards

Take a look in my thread, we might be having the same problem, read all the posts and try the different fixes and maybe one of them will work for you.

I havn't fixed it yet. I'm still trying some stuff but If I get a fix for it I'll update the thread with the fix. If you're not having the same problem just ignore, but you can try the fixes though.
Isn't related to my problem. Mine still works. But it 'crashes' sometimes

Hello,
I'm going nuts trying to figure out how to fix my Atrix 4G (AT&T).
I Rooted > Unlocked my Atrix and installed the Touch version of CWM and flashed CM9 and it all seemed perfect.
However it seems all the WiFi drivers are gone.
Trying to turn on WiFi simply makes my Atrix reboot. Trying to use some WiFi tethering tools give back a 'no Wpa supplicant' error.
The phone works perfectly except for the fact it has zero WiFi capability now.
I flashed other ROMs like MIUI, and AOKP to no avail, same issue, no wifi.
I flashed the Stock ATT ROM via a fruitcake thinking it will 'reinstall' my wifi drivers but i was mistaken.
Anyone have any ideas how to get WiFi drivers installed again? Why wouldnt the ROMs have that already?
Bit confused and would appreciate any help.

Bluetooth also doesnt work and causes a reboot too if I attempt to turn it on.
In that case, your wifi/bt chip is likely burnt. Sorry.
There's no fix, this is a hardware problem.

Hey don't know if this is a motolib related issue or not....but I currently have the latest cm10 build by joker 0.2.0. gsm. I currently am using airfire mobile as my service plan since it works great in my location. However everytime when I call out, it always ends the call right away then it'll wait then automatically call out again which will then be successful. is there any way to fix this double calling up thing by chance? I've tried wiping and installing fresh with no prevail. if I do need to logcat, how would I do so? I would like to give my thanks to all the developers who made this possible to have jb on the photon. Thank you!
Sent from my MB855 using xda app-developers app
Not sure if it is your problem, my dropped call was somewhat different than you had, but running Joker's latest CM10 I kept having outgoing call issues right away.
Turns out all my calls failed if they started with a 1, and worked if they just started with the area code. Updating my address book to delete the 1 prefixes fixed the issue. Strange, and again, no idea if that will be your solution or not, but can't hurt.
If all else fails try using one of th3bills lovely ROMs
Sent from my MB855 using xda app-developers app
just tried calling out with deleting the 1's and still does the same thing -_-. I just flashed the peetrs custom rom which is supposedly the "recommended rom" which is an android 2.3 build. same thing happens ugh. ill have to try out a few new roms and similar cards to narrow down the problem unless if anyone else has suggestions? thanks for trying to help btw

And when I try turning on blue tooth the phone automatically gets restarted.. Please help.. I bought this phone without bill so couldn't take it to service center.
Thanks in advance

No, rooting won't change anything, so no use in this case. You're completely stock, so it MAY be a hardware issue. Did it work when you bought it initially? Or has it been like that since you unpacked it?
Also, you're on 4.0.3. Upgrade to 4.0.4 and see if the problem persists. Update via KIES and do nothing else after upgrading (don't do a data wipe or anything else).

Wifi works 5 out of 10 times whereas regarding blue tooth, when I turn it on it automatically restarts.. Bluetooth did work initially... Will try updating to 4.0.4 and let you know the status.

Hi,
I noticed the same behavior if I am turning on the WiFi, while data communication over 3G is done at that moment. The WiFi freezes, the phone starts to heat and if to turn on the screen lock after sometime the phone will not be turned on until the battery is removed. If to look at battery usage statistic after the battery removal you will see the gap in it.
It does not happen if the WiFi is turned on while the communication over 3G is not done.
Tried to search for solutions, but unfortunately it was not successful.
So decided to keep the WiFi turned on constantly, just to avoid this issue.

Workaround I found is when you try turning on wifi and if it doesn't turn on immediately ... Just restart your phone, the wifi will be turned on, instead of removing the battery and putting it back.

@OP: If you recently purchased it go back and they'll give you another one that will not have that issue. If you bought it from someone else, well, there we can start talking about flashing and what not.
