Hey everyone,
I am new to these forums. I have an issue and I have searched everywhere for the solution.
I have a SGS2 and I rooted it with Lite'ning Rom v4.2.
I followed the instruction on this thread and my phone loaded the ROM successfully.
I have an issue, since I installed this rom my WiFi is not working.
Everytime I got to wifi settings, I see the available networks, however when trying to connect it just attempts to connect then disconnects.
I saw on this thread that another user had to flash the kernel to get his WiFi working.
I download the XXKG3 kernel for my S2 and flashed however still not working.
I am asking for some help with this as where I live I have no 3G reception so have to use Wifi in order to use internet on my S2.
Any help is greatly appreciated.
Hi all
I have installed task650's 3.2 v6.3 rom and tried at least Bindroid, Overcome and the stock P7500XWKKK4 (which as i have wifi only showed the wifi direct but also the 3g aspect)
For some reason Wifi drect is removed from all the custom roms but its on the stock ones. Anyone know why its removed from the custom but not from stock?
thanks
bump.
as no one seems to have replied, I will rephrase.
does anyone know how to add wifi direct to a Rom?
thanks
I have a SGS II with Simplistic ICS RC7 and my main problem is that it doesn't seem to find the wifi hotspot created with connectify(software that shares your internet connection thru a wireless card) in my work (no router there).
Previousily i was on Miui 2.3.7 and it worked . Doesn't seem to be an ICS issue , more like a STOCK firmware issue, as my coleagues on stock 2.3.6 didn't find the hotspot eighter so i'm thinking it must be an modem driver issue or kernel. any help would be apreciated.
nobody knows????
I've no experience with connectify, but you could try changing out your kernel. Wifi drivers are in the kernel, I believe. Give Siyah a shot.
well the only custom kernell from siyah for ICS available right now is an alpha version. tested it. wifi still doesn't detect my hotspot.
Sorry, totally missed the part about you being on an ICS ROM.
Hi, I'm new to android, so a little help would go a long way!
Anyway, I have a rooted GS3 running CriskeloRom v5.3 and DarkKnightS3 v1.0 kernel.
I have noticed that everytime that I try to flash a new rom or a different kernel (like Omega and let's say Siyah), my phone won't seem to connect to my mac via Android file transfer.
Is this app or the connection kernel or rom specific? For the only kernels that I have used that allows my computer to connect are the DarkKnight kernel and the Phenomenal 1.0 kernels.
Am I doing anything wrong in flashing these kernels?
is anyone else having this problem?
Looking forward to you help!
I'm having problems in trying to do WiFi tether in my Xperia S. When i try to connect any device at my portable hotspot (at least i've tried with a Galaxy S3, Optimus 3D, Linux Notebook and Windows 7 Notebook), the device just cannot lock the IP address. It stays a bit in "Obtaining Ip Address", disconnects, tries to connect again, "Obtaining Ip Address", disconnect. Are any of you having issues like this?
Could we try to pinpoint the problem? It would be a custom kernel problem or a custom rom problem, a combination of custom kernel/stock rom problem and others? Maybe someone know somenthing that i dont, and it would be nice to have it documented here, so i created this topic to ask for your help in this issues! How can I solve it? Better, how can we solve it?
So above is the list of kernels and roms that i have tried and failed miserably in make my tether work:
Stock Rom Generic UK 6.1.A.0.453 with:
XSX Kernel 3.1
Advanced Stock ICS Kernel 11
The only mod i have at the phone is QuickPanel
i've been trying, using my self compiled kernel and stock ICS rom, nothing wrong with tethering, it just working fine...
Thanks for the test fajarep!
Here i got nothing!
Failed trying now:
- Flash LT26_6.1.A.0.452_Generic_CH_1257-3740_.ftf (read somewhere that generic/international firmwares have no restriction in tethering)
- Many tethering apps, rooted and non-rooted ones (max i got is a message of failure in setting ad-hoc)
-Adding a ",dun" at the end of my "APN Type" in Data-Management-mimimi-i-dont-remember-put-the-name-here-later-menu

hmmm.., I don't use Generic version, only using our SEA ICS version, it maybe doesn't have any problem with tethering stuff. So, I can't help anymore..
No problem with wifi tethering on stock ics and also on miui (both 2.7.20 and 2.7.27 with advanced stock kernel build 11). During the last two weeks I used it every day without any issues.

Next trying = MIUI 2.7.27
How is the battery life in comparison with stock?

Battery life is absolutely great in standby and just as the stock with the screen on. I have no complaints regarding the battery with miui.
In a quick test it seems that with MIUI i can tether. I will do further tests and report here
Glad to read that and to be somehow helpful!
