God doesn't play dice with the WiFi .. ? - Sony Ericsson Xperia Mini, Mini Pro, Xperia Pro, A

Authenticating, obtaining ip adress, saved then loop.
After 6 hours on google im confused totaly.
There is hundreds or thousand posts about this problem and dozens "solutions" (personaly i tried 10 or 12 of them)
How is that possible can someone explaine me.
I mean in some roms wifi working normaly and in some wont.
What is changed in those roms, what is the problem?
Any help is apreciated.

It maybe kernel ralated .
Flash sirkey new kernel and try !!
If still the problem persists then flash kernel modules found on that thread !!

I get this problem whenever I flash cm9 direct from the cm site. I was advised to go back to stock first and then flash cm. I flashed the 4.0.4 from boy racers ftf list, booted in Stock, powered off and flashed the baseband from the fxp thread, booted up. I then used cm9 from the fxp thread rather than cm9 site and got stable WiFi.
I like pratting about though, so I'm now on rooted stock 4.0.4 using the guide in this forum to create your own rom

Thanks guys, finally some answers.
Here is my situation,flashed JellySandwich 4.3 (so far perfect ICS for me), tried sirkays 7.431 (rom is developed and tested with that version) and flykernel 0.7 and flykernel 0.8.
Nothing, one or two connections, 200 tries.
Then, 6 hours before tried sirkays latest 9.587a, with him is better but stil half-half situation.
"If still the problem persists then flash kernel modules found on that thread !!" will try this,thanks.
Full wipe done, etc.
On repacked4ru rom for example everythings working perfect, never experienced single problem with wifi. (same ap,my home ap)
Once again, flashed with full wipe, cache wipe, dalwik cache wipe.
Tried multiple times,result is every time the same (also redownloaded rom) and tested same kernels with other roms, they dont cause problem by themself.
Router isnt problem.
But, that what realy frustrating me is this problem is very common on android but i didnt seen in hours of googling what realy causing him.
Tell me please guys, im a noob but not stupid and learning fast.
To cure some problem man must knows hims root, whats causing that problem.
What causing this very common problem on android, one or more things?
Thanks again (and sorry for my bad english, my english is learned from movies,music etc)

Try picking up a pure stock ftf file from boy racers thread. I have a copy of the last gb stock ftf and two stock ics ftfs stored on my pc so if I screw up, I have options. I had this problem of reconnect loops using cm9 as above and pretty much reverting back to stock was all that cured it. Once you've flashed stock you can then go about the business of putting jelly sandwich of whatever rom you want on. I've tried putting jelly sandwich on twice now have issues of my own so am sticking to rooted stock.

Tried that and 10 more solutions, thanx anyway.
My questions still remains, that problem is obviously software related, how is possible no one knows reason why is this so common problem and whats a problem.
Come on guys, somebody knows for sure, this is xda-developers, guys here are able for unbeliveable things (like porting android to Samsung Wave and similar)

I Have same obtaining IP problem.Wifi problems started with official update to ICS.(on GB no wifi problem) Tried all possible "solutions".Nothing works... And finally? Use only WPA security on your router, but still some connection drops. Or buy new wifi router. From information I found. Older routers may have some new standards compatibility problems

Unfortunately, WPA security isnt option.
Im not on a hardware ruter, using virtual hotspot (Connectify applications + my notebooks wifi)
No WPA support.
Im back on repacked4ru rom , no phantoms problems, all works fine (too bad, yellysandwich is a nice rom,perfect ics for me)
Greetings from Serbia
p.s. (this thread can be closed)

The problem is the dhcp client ...
To resolve this issue, I create an /etc/init.d script for delete 2 tmp dhcp files
My script 99dhcp-reinit :
#!/system/bin/sh
rm /data/misc/dhcp/dhcpcd-wlan0.lease
rm /data/misc/dhcp/dhcpcd-wlan0.pid
Try it

[Q] ICS BlueTooth issue

And since then every time i trying to talk with my car hands free by bluetooth the other side hear me only in short bursts.

Have you already wiped cache partition (and Dalvik cache) in recovery?
Maybe that can help.
If not, try another kernel ... such as SpeedMod or Siyah.
Good luck !
nothing of the above has worked
i'v tried already the Siyah kernel.
is there any way to install the gingerbread bluetooth implimintation on the ics ?
No. Won't work. Different frameworks.

i hope so... it would fix the reboot when streaming issue as well.
i managed to quote the wrong reply.
as 4.0.3 and 4.0.4 are both ICS could the BT files be moved over to fix it that way ?
Hmmmm.... WHICH version of ICS?
I have no problems at all with official ICS I installed (OK, GPS lock is a bit slow, but I can live with that)...

4.0.3 has a soft reboot problem streaming to my car stereo, it seems to be quite widespread but not an issue on gingerbread or 4.0.4 roms
i have found 3 file sin system/lib that may be related to bt
libbluetoothd.so
libbluetoot.so
libbluedroid.so
i did a backup and zipped the folder structure but it refused to install the zip, probably because i have no idea what im doing!

[Q] Tethering, no device would connect with SGS2?

Hi,
I have searched and googled for a solution for my problem but could not find an answer, and if there is an answer I have yet to find it. This is my first thread and took time to search for an answer before writing it.
I have recently rooted and flashed my SGS2 with both CM9 nightly and Paranoid Android ROMS and it seems there is a common problem.
When I activate "Portable Wi-Fi Hotspot", no device seem able to connect to the SGS2.
It shows "obtaining IP address" for a long time and suddenly the phone gives up connecting and drops the process.
I tried to connect a Galaxy Nexus(rooted/CM9) and a Samsung Tab2(rooted only)
both are not able to connect to the SGS2.
Is there a solution of some sort, are the ROMS at fault since I believe the PA ROM is also based on CM9? Is there a missing setting?
Does anyone have a similar problem?
is there an answer for my question ?
Mine connects perfectly fine, I think your problem would be the rom. I use the Hyperdroid rom which is based on original samsung rom with redpill kernel, I recommend it. My suggestion would be to try a different rom if not Hyperdroid.

I came across this before but wasn't an issue after switching to a different ROM so I would think that it would be a problem with the ROM you're using?
Sent from my GT-I9100 using XDA
As I have suspected, I solved this issue by changing the ROM.
I guess only the i9100 CM9 Rom & Paranoid Android Rom (based on CM9?) have this issue.
I reverted back to Gingerbread by installing CM7 Rom and it worked.

You have to ODIN flash 4.0.4 stock rom before flashing CM10 to get rid of wi-fi issues. Thats all I know about that.
Did you lose your way to the cm10 discussion thread?

[Q] WiFi on Xperia Mini ICS

Well, actually I'm using a custom rom, based on GB, because I've been having the same problem with EVERY ROM based on ICS (Stock or Custom).
I honestly don't know why does it happen, my problem is... Every time I've tried an ICS-based Rom, my WiFi disconnects itself all the time. It goes out and comes back after a few seconds every time it wants to, and it doesn't matter at all how far or near I am of my router.
I never had that problem with Gingerbread. Is it a problem with DNS, IP or something like that? Can I just use an app to fix that?
At least I would like to know what happens, thanks everybody in advance! :laugh:

Maybe change your wlan to b/g and not b/g/n, that had solved it for me
Had your bootloader unlocked? What kernel are you using?

eltonpestana: Is it possible to change the baseband in this phone?
mihahn: My WiFi is already in b/g mode /:
gouthamthemostwanted: My bootloader doesn't allow unlocking, so I am using the stock Kernel -.-
If you are using the stock kernel are you sure you flash ics kernel prior flashing the ics Rom?
If you flash ics kernel.sin using flashtool and still experience problems on WiFi then go through the updater-script of the Rom and make sure permissions are set right and this symlink is present
symlink("/data/etc/wifi/wl1271-nvs.bin","/system/etc/firmware/ti-connectivity/wl1271-nvs.bin");
I use rage kernel and removing this symlink from updater-script made my WiFi not to work . I don't know whether will it work with stock ics kernel but it's worth a shot.
Sent from my smultron using xda app-developers app
Ok, I'll be honest with you. I don't know what the updater-script is, and I never tried to flash a kernel because my bootloader is still locked
I think the problem is on your router. Change the channel and mode and also disable the wireless security. See what happen......
Sent from my ST15i using xda premium
To flash the stock Sony kernel you don't need a unlocked bootloader . If you don't flash ics kernel for ics Rom I'm sure it won't work properly. I won't even boot properly in the first place.
Below is the stock ics firmware for st15i
http://www.mediafire.com/?wot47vumhstlc4h
Flash the above mentioned ics firmware using flashtool before flashing any ics Rom.
I hope you know what a flashtool is and how to flash your device using it.

Flash back on gingerbread and see if wifi is working well. If yes, you know it's not related to your router.
It's a known problem on ics by sony that wifi isn't working well, but there's no working fix as far as I know...

Yeah... I know what flashtool is, I have used it too many times. But I never heard about flashing the stock kernel, I thought the kernel was automatically updated when you install the ICS tft. I'll try it anyway.

Actually, as I said, in GB I never had that problem, and I don't know what to do yet.
Maybe this can help...
Here are the updater-script files of the ROM's that I have recently used.
If there's something incompatible with my phone or if there's something I can do with them to fix the problem, I'd be glad to know it
I'll let you know man . I'll go through them . It's 12 in the morning here

Haha it's ok, take your time. Thank you
I just skimmed through both the updater-scripts and I don't find anything wrong there. What ftf file you used for ics? Is it regional customization or world customization?

[Q][SOLVED] Stuck on 'Obtaining IP address' / Cannot connect to WIFI

Hi,
NOTE: This is not a question. I just wanted to post this to help anyone in the same position and may reach this page after searching on google.
My phone cannot connect to my WiFi network. For a few days I have been tirelessly searching for a solution to my problem.
I tried factory reset, wiping cache/dalvik, flash stock rom .etc -- nothing worked!
I was flashing the latest roms for my device 4.2 and 4.1 which is jelly bean OS. It still did not work.
But then I tried flashing the previous generation operating system. I flashed 4.0.4 Ice Cream Sandwich, and it worked. I can use wifi again!
So, I hope this helps someone out there
Give it a try
You went back to jellybean afterwards though? We dont want people going back to ics when they're not protected from sds

Yes I just flashed a jellybean rom afterwards.
In the end it turned out that the issue was with foxhound rom, so I just use cyanogenmod instead now
Cool thanks for clarifying.
