Wifi Disabled - Streak 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Using MIUI 2.4.20, everything has been working fine, but recenlty i have started having this problem, i cannot connect to wifi networks, it just loops saying obtaining ip address, secured with...., and it loops, then if i go back some time later it says its disabled.
Any ideas?

It happens with me, a reboot solves it.
And by the way, it does happen on a specific cafe network that uses a Belkin router..dont know if thats related !!

I've got mine on a static IP address and that solved all my problems.

Usually if the problem persisit, best way is to reset to factory default. But first you can try to wipe cache and wipe dalvik cache. I tried tht first but lastly i do factory default and the problem goes away..

Thanks guys, factory reset is a bit drastic, will have to wait for the moment, but it will have to be done eventually, see i use ext4 formatter, so i am unaware of a way to make nandroid backups that work.

Connection problems browsing market.

Most of the time when I browse the android market I lose service. Anyone come accross this issue and has a fix for it?
«---:: ((รєภҭ ғг๏๓ ҭђє ๓๏ҭђєг ๏ғ คใใ קђ๏ภє'ร ๔єใใ รҭгєคк!)) ::---»
Ive been having this same issue. Att 2.2. Seems like everytime I go on I have a cinnection issue. I hit retry a bunch of times then my connection suddenky kicks back in.
I thought AT&T's network was acting flaky. This started happening to me after upgrading the market to 2.3.6. Worse, when I was on the phone last night talking, E (EDGE) was indicated instead of H (3G).
I can't verify this, but I believe the problem is with the update to the market.
Had this till I did a factory reset on 351 now its working fine again.
yea me too wierd at least itS only the market and in comes back after a couple secounds

Can you please tell how did you do that? did it from recovery mode or from settings-> privacy-> factory reset? anything would help.
Thanks in advance
Boot into recovery by holding the two volume buttons then turning the streak on. But the issue returned today.
Lets get some command ground on this. What version is everyone running?
I am on Stock 351 rooted baseband 35100-US
Rooted 351 with 351 baseband on AT&T.
Just a thought here. You might want to check around the forums and see whether all phones are affected, or if it's just Streaks on AT&T.
Hey guys, think i found a fix. It consists of merging the mms settings to the ATT US apn then deleting the ATT MMS apn. more info and a guide at my post here
Is this works I have same problem also using AT&T
This problem is always occurred to me I don't know the problem but this trick help me to recover the market connection problem,
1. since this problem occurred when using WIFI I go to setting->wireless&networks->unmarked wi-fi
2. try connect to market using 3G (it's always work for me)
3. after succeed connect to market using 3G, I go to setting again and marked the wi-fi.
I hope this can help to solve the problem without turn off, clear cache or factory reset.

Longhorn 2.6 restarts with 3G activated

Hello everybody,
First of I want to start by saying that Longhorn is yet the best ROM I tested nd simply loving it.
When I first installed Longhorn and my Streak kept restarting I thought that it was cuz of some apps on my phone, but whenever I reinstalled the phone I kept having the same problem even though I kept only basoc apps installed until last time I installes Longhorn and forgot to configure my 3G connection. Until then I had my 3G constantly on, but with my 3G off I didn't had anymore problem. It didn't restarted once.
To be honest, I do want my 3G connection to work on a permanent basis but I have no idea how to solve this issue. Could one of the more experienced users give me a hand in help?

It sounds like you didn't perform a Dell Factory reset AND a StreakMod Factory reset. It will give you a fresh install and from there you will just have to reload the apps that you want.
I have to say, after using it for almost one month, it never restarted again after aplying ur fix. Mny thanks ;-)

Wifi/Radio Problems on cm10

The short of it is, my Wifi crapped out for reasons beyond my experiences thus far.
The long of it. I flashed epinter's 07/25/2012 Nightly and everything seemed to be working nicely, Wifi especially. Then today, out running errands and dropped my Atrix in my Car Dock and attempted to turn on Bluetooth for the first time since flashing, and the device froze then restarted. Once back up, I tried turning Wifi back on, and the device froze again and restarted. Thinking maybe the radio driver went south, I grabbed epinter's 07/27/2012 build (epinter-cm10-20120727_1846-UNOFFICIAL-olympus.zip), and still no luck. Back into Recovery, Wiping everything and also factory resetting then flashing twice over again, boot up, still no wifi, and if it manages to seemingly fire up, the device hangs and restarts.
Within the last 2 hours (Been at this for about 12 hours now.) I grabbed Jokersax's build (Beta 0.1.0), wiped/reset/flash twice as I have before. Now as I take a breath I noticed that the Wifi Icon came up in the Notification bar, but when I go into Settings and Scan, I see none of the Networks around me. I looked under Advanced and noticed that my MAC Address is 'Unavailable' nor am I showing an IP address, even though Wifi is saying 'On'. Verified on my Router, my Phone is not connected to it.
Odd Side note, installed aLogcat just to see if I could catch any errors, and it is not giving me anything, that is, I am not seeing any logs through the app. Most likely an unrelated issue, but still a tad annoying.
Everything else seems in order, including Mobile Data (Able to access Web Pages, Market/Play Store, receive email, etc.). Just Wifi pretty much 'Lights are on, but no one is Home.'. Any suggestions on next steps?
We discussed this issue over in some other threads and conclusion is that it's a hardware malfunction Ur broadcom chip is burned,many people (including me) had that problem.

I need to really work on my searching, tried several variations of 'atrix WiFi cm10' and could not pin down a related thread.
But back on topic, CRAP! What I was hoping was not the case. Thanks for the reply, will continue to dig for those threads and cross fingers the chip really is not fried (doubtful but hey, people can dream right?).
Thank you for the reply.

I can't search the threads right now as i am typing from my phone-search is limited to 20-30 posts... But keywords for ur search should be : "atrix wifi error" or "wifi and bluetooth error on atrix" Several forums have this kinda threads,not just xda unfortunately ... seems like it's very often malfunction on this lovely phone. I couldn't repair my previous atrix so i bought another one.

We're talking fastboot wipe kind of clean install? Going to give that a go as a last attempt, will post results here.
Glimmer of hope tonight, was discussing the problem with a friend, went to turn on WiFi and it actually scanned and connected for about 2 minutes before crapping out. This tells me there maybe life to the chip still. Now to get fastboot to connect and try a wipe and see what happens.

Any news on this front? I am one of the afflicted as well.
I'm having a similar issue. though my BT works just fine, no delays, no errors, no intermittance.
Wifi, I can scan for networks just fine. i click on mine to connect. it shows connecting, noting that when it says connecting the signal shows 1 bar as compared to the full set of wifi bars when scanning, i am also right next to the AP. is tries connceting for about 20 seconds or so. then goes back to saying "saved" under the SSID, other networks showing "disabled" when this happens. i originally noticed this after flashing epinters cm10. i tried flashing 37p, 36p and 30p radios with no difference.
EDIT: also want to note that i HAVE disabled the "avoid poor connections" option. and have tried setting static IP.
I flashed the same and I am unable to get my wifi to work after clean wipe, radio install or anything else that I have tried. Could software have really burned up a wifi radio????

Mine works occasionally so I don't think the radio is dead. The rom just acts like it's not there most of the time and doesn't give a mac address. Sometimes it works though after a reboot. Would flashing a different radio help? My baseband version says N_01.77.37P
I had an IP and a MAC, but no wifi internet.
Using mobile data, I downloaded Set DNS and then enabled wifi, works fine.
Now it's working but mobile data is going very very slow, it took 5min to download Set DNS.
I have a skyrocket but the "no wifi" issue is probably the same - your not getting DNS
I'm going back to CM9 for now.
+1 wifi matter under CM10
Try rebooting the router.
Experienced same issue (unable to connect, showing full bars, dropping to 1 bar when connecting and never being able to complete a connection) rebooting my router has fixed the issue. I'm not technical but it might have to do with the DNS release for addresses .. in any case unplugging my router for a bit and restarting it fixed the issue for me.

[Q] Longhorn 2.9.3 Random Rebooting

Hi
I've been using Longhorn 2.9.3 from a fresh install and really love the rom.
Everything works great except where lately I've been having issues where the phone just reboots out of the blue.
This has happened on average 10-15 times this past week.
Can anyone help?
Cheers
Nico

try to check which application that causing this.. a fresh install does not happen at all of random reboots.. not even once...
you could try to wipe cache, wipe dalvik cache and lastly wipe data .. do dell factory reset too if case is worsen...

Cheers mate,
I haven't installed any apps since about a week before this started.
Do you know of any apps that may cause this? as removing them one at a time and waiting for it to happen again is going to take ages.
It seems to have gotten better this last week.. only 1 or 2 reboots.
Further Indications......
Hi folks,
I'm having the same issues with Longhorn 2.9.3 Final, but it only seems to randomly reboot when the the phone is left idle and the screen goes off, So my first attempt was to disable the lock screen - no effect, then I tried certain background apps, such as Go Launcher EX, followed now by Facebook, and a local taxi app, nothing as yet.
I have tried wiping various caches, but it made no difference unfortunately.
If anybody know anything relevant to this issue don't hesitate but to share it with us, please.
I really am very fond of this custom ROM, and don't want to abandon it.
Thanks in advance
Ben.
Found the problem on mine

After going through clearing caches, replacing internal and external SD cards, cleaning the back door blah blah blah I found the following.
When I ran the Maps app, it asked if I wanted to use wifi for location to which I responded yes... mistake! If the wifi location option is checked, the phone seems try to use wifi when it is asleep and ends up rebooting.
I found this by turning the wifi off which made the phone sleep without re-booting and then by turning wifi on and disabling wifi location in Maps.
A long, involved process but now my Streak is rock steady and I don't have to think about reverting to a stock ROM... hooray

Stability update...
Uptime 600h
Previously would reboot twice a day or more
Very happy with the ROM now
I am having this problem also
I have a reboot problem as described above. The problem is that when I disable the use wireless networks option it does not disable. That is I leave the screen. Go back to it and it is still checked.
Please Help.
Web....
what kernel and baseband have you using?
Same here...
I 've been faceing the same problem exactly... latest longhorn randomly reboots, usually first the 3 buttons flash a few times before the reboot...
I downloaded and installed the 407 baseband and radio, then longhorn, did all wipe and dell reset, still the same ...
I've read this forum a few times, still though, would anyone be so kind to direct me towards a link here, where I could in fact revert the dell to an official rom version, before trying anything else?
Tnx in advance

I ended up disabling the Wifi location and my Streak works great. I had some app installed that was messing with me disabling/changing the wifi location settings. Sometimes I could not even disable wifi.
I remove a ton of apps. Was able to disable location via wifi and my phone has been working great ever since.
I can confirm that I had a problem with this and disabling it fixed it.

Wifi Disconnects

I know this has been discussed before, but after hours of searching last night on google, i have come to a standstill.
Has the wifi constant disconnect / reconnect been addressed.
Cheers.
re
looks like i will have to post my own reply.
I have reset the phone, and now it holds my wifi connections and does not disconnect.
Id suggest that if you have the same wifi disconnect and reconnect issues.. try a factory reset.
It connects fine, it just doesn't receive any data. I have tried flashing the stock modules. That didn't seem to help, I"ll keep trying hopefully when an decent AOSP rom appears i'll flash that and it'll correct the problem
Thanks

Is this with all wifi or just at your house, may be your equipment, does another phone have trouble connecting?
re
i just noticed last night something interesting, but not sure if it means anything to anybody else.
I have installed the chrome browser and have been using that for the last few days.
I connected to my home wifi and cruised around the web for an hour with no issues.
I decided to try the stock android browser and it would not load, like the wifi signal was gone.
i went back to my chrome browser and there was no issue loading new web pages.
I went back to my stock browser and reset it back to defaults and bamm it was working like the chrome browser with no hiccups.
Not saying this is a fix.. but it worked for me!

i was having trouble at work and at home.
Tried every wifi/wpa setting/channel/encryption/speed etc.
i have 5 other wifi devices that have no issues.
But after resetting my phone and then running chrome / clearing , resetting my stock browser .. all is good in data land.
edit.. just tested out my work wifi with the stock browser for about 10 min.. not one issue.
I have had success forgetting the Wi-Fi network that is causing issue and then reconnecting.
