do a full wipe. wipe cache,data,dalvik and after do a fresh install,wipe again cache ,dalvik and fix permissions.

Sorry but if you just say Wifi not working you will most like get answers like wipe and reflash firmware
Please be a little bit more specific about what is not working and what you already did to track down the problem. This will help people help you.

Try updating to beta 10 over the ota. Wifi is related to the kernel.

If post #8 does not help I would restart from scratch:
1. Do a Nandroid backup
2. Install latest stock firmware
If Wifi is still not working you might have a hardware problem.
If Wifi is working you have good starting point for further investigations

Thanx for the help..unfortunately my wifi wont even turn on..not a problem with ip address.

ok I had the same problem, as in when I go to the settings and I click the turn on wifi button, It just says Turning on wifi in the middle of the screen and wifi never turns on. Here is what I did to fix that.
keep in mind that I have the Revolt ICS v.0.9.2 rom installed
1.boot into download mode(i think that's what it is called) press power+volumeup+home
2.navigate to reset/clear factory data
3.wipe cache
4.go to advance and wipe delvik cache
5.re-install rom
6.wipe cache
7.wipe delvik cache
8.reboot
This fixed the problem for me. Hope this helps
Cheers.

I always thought Power+Home+Volume Up were recovery.

A couple questions

Last night I flashed from cm6.2RC2 to cm6.1RC2 just to see if it might be faster and I cleared my cache b4 I did my nandroid backup by mistake oops. When it loaded up I couldn't get to the wifi to stay on it would connect then disconnect. What can I do to fix that? I also thought that if I had my apps installed on my SD card that when I flashed different roms I would be able to keep them?? When I flashed I had swype and now I don't anymore and they stopped the beta is there a link still out there?? Thanks in advance for any answers.

1. Have you tried CM6 6.1.0 (the latest release)?
2. When you say it connects then disconnects, do you mean once your phone goes to sleep and you wake it up it disconnects or is already disconnected?
3. You should still have swype as long as you didn't wipe your data...i don't know how swype works but have you tried looking in settings > language & keyboard settings?
1. Yes that's the one I tried.
2. No I have read problems with the wifi and sleep mode but i didn't even go to sleep mode it was connecting and disconnecting the first time I turned it on
3. I was under the impression u had to both wipe data and the cache so no swype

1. Ok.
2. Hmm...that's quite odd...do you have another router you could try connecting to? Has wifi ever worked properly for you?
3. No you don't...if you're going from a CM rom to a CM rom you don't have to wipe data, just wipe cache.
Just flashed again and everything works fine thanks for clearing up that I didn't have to delete the data that makes everything easier

WIFI Issues After Flashing ICS

Hi Guys
Yesterday I flashed the Hydro ICS and had no issues at all, hungry to explore other ROM's I flashed about 5 today, then all of a sudden I was faced with 2 issues that no matter what I cant solve
The first is that my WIFI Doesnt work, it says its connected and issues an IP to the phone but the Wifi bars are grey with a flashing X through them
In my router I get the following Error
" DHCP FAILED - Requested Info not supported.;CM-MAC=a0:21:b7:30:03:2c;CMTS-MAC=00:30:b8:cf:db:40;CM-QOS=1.1;CM-VER=3.0; "
I also have a yellow warning triangle on boot too
I have reflashed, wiped, etc etc with many roms since to try and fix but I have gotten nowhere,
EDIT:
Just to add, other mobiles "Including a SGS2 on ICS" are connected wirelessly and I have rebooted and reset my router.
PLEASE can someone get me out of this hole im in ?
Many Thanks
Gaz

Bumping your thread after only just over an hour isn't going to endear yourself to anyone...
Try a different kernel. I believe WiFi drivers are in the kernel.
I believe your best bet is to do a battery pull, leave it out for a minute, then put it back in and power up.
If that doesn't work, you may need to install another baseband/modem. Lots of them you can install through CWM.

I know you mean well, but baseband/modem have nothing to do with wifi.

i agree with the 2nd way, also you should try flashing a different kernel as mentioned above.
i used to have this error before when i was on litening rom for GB... although it was easily fixed by just doing a full wipe and never occured again...

[Q] How to solve a problem of device shut down by itself?

Hi,
I'm using JB 3.1.2 and I'm experiencing an issue with the device:
once/twice a day, the device simply turns itself off - even when I have enough battery - and in order to turn it on, I have to either click on the "power button" + "home button", or to click "power"+"volume up"+"home" (like I'm accessing the recovery mode); the device won't turn on by clicking the "power" button only.
2nd issue --> on the 'recent calls' log, sometimes missed calls are disappear from the log.
I would be glad to get help here..
Thanks!

I'm sure it's not a bug in the rom, since one of my friends installed this rom for me and it's working perfectly on his device..

Everyone's phone acts differently, even if its the same model bought on the same day from the same store it can be completely different.

My opinion may be your downloaded custom rom corrupt
Try download new one and flash again with clean system partition

Nobody said anything about deleting data. They said clear cache.
If that doesnt work simply re-flash rom over current one in cwm. Your appdata wont be touched. (unless its a wipe rom). If you still have issues then you should backup what you need with Titanium backup pro and do a clean install of rom/gapps by wiping data/factory reset then re-installing rom.
As an alternative to the above you could first try flashing kernel instead see if that resolves. Like Siyah for example.

I have same problem. Reflashing rom, wiping data, cache or dalvik wont work. Ive try some ROMs and will try another. Now Im testing phone after wiping battery stats. Maybe problem is in battery. Somewere I was read that with Samsung 2000mAh battery there was no problems. If You can try to test other battery.
If Yout phone will turn off - press power button about 10-12 seconds - will turn on.

[Q] Xperia Sola cm9 fxp207 WiFi

Hey guys, i am using cm9 for some time now. Well, to the point, the wifi is not working. It is after a clean flash and wipe, but after a few days it wont connect to any access point "due to low signal". For example, when i tap my home wifi, at full strength by the way, it immediately shows only one bar, and then disconnects and trying to connect again. Anybody know what to do? Thanks!

ive faced this problem before and here what i did and seems the problem doesnt appear anymore.
- flash latest stock ics(.54) and let it boot properly.
- shutdown
- fastboot boot.img(from the cm9 zip)
- in cwm, wipe data, cache, dalvik and batery stat
- flash cm9 then gapps.
- again wipe data, cache, dalvik and batery stat.
- reboot and there u go.
hope this will solve.:good:

Connections Problems

Hi. I'm running CM 10.2-20131014-NIGHTLY
I have been having a few issues with the phone recently.
My wi-fi doesn't work, I can't connect with the wi-fi of my house. Sometimes it will be stuck with obtining the ip adress, or says connecting but no luck.
I don't have bluetooth anymore, it says turning bluetooth on (the key is grey not blue).. and then goes back off. I had tried with the botton from the notification bar but it doesn't work either.
I don't have any network connection (3G, G, H, H+), the phone works fine with incoming/outgoing calls, sms but not internet.
I don't know what to do, I have been using this version from a long time and never had problems.
Go to recovery and wipe cache and dalvik cache in advance and reboot. Test it. If its not working wipe data and test. and if all else fails full wipe and reflash rom and gapps.

I have done the wipe cache and dalvik cache, didn't work.
I have done the wipe data, didn't work
I have been searching and I found that CWM keeps untouched the internal SD and keeps rom and kernel, so..
If in the worse case i have to go back to factory how can I do that?
I really don't want that...
The only ways to go back to default are to DL the firmware from sammobile and flash it with either....
PC Odin...
or
Mobile Odin....

What I want to know is if there is a way to fix those problems without having to get back to factory.
Well you could always try @hawkerpauls ROM and kernel nuke scripts and then re flash your ROM.......

kernel scripts?? Can you explain this, please?
What they do, as I understand it, is perform a 'deep' wipe of the intended partitions prior to flashing a ROM....which essentially allows you to 'clean flash'.........all the info you need can be found on the thread.....
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2100558
Edit....having read the thread, it looks like I was wrong.......looks like a KERNEL wipe script is not available......might still help to 'nuke' the other partitions though.....

Wi-Fi was working a few minutes ago but now back to not working.. In my phone appears the wifi of my home and says that the signal is excelent but when I press 'Connect' in my phone appears like the connection is poor and don't connect..
I was wondering if reinstalling CM would work..
Today I 'fixed' the 3g connection problem by changing some APN values, now I can use Whatsapp but I can't connect to internet.
First the following message appeared: ' authentication via the proxy server was unsuccessful'.
Rebooted the phone, now this message doesn't appear anymore but pages won't load, play store says 'Connection time out'..
Phone calls/sms working fine.
Any suggestions?
