Hello everybody, this is my first post in XDA.
I'm in a dead end with my phone, and after checking the whole forum and of course googling for an answer I can't find, here I am.
I've got a Samsung S3 i9300 (Int) which was functioning perfectly well with Ultima ROM 10.1. Now I tried to move on to 11.0 and found out my WIFI stopped working. Actually, it's able to connect to a non secured network but is unable to cope with wpa2 for instance. For some reason, it tags every network as WPS and fails to connect every time.
Strangely, I tried with a couple of other ROMs (Omega 44.2, Slim, NeatROM) and I have the exact same problem.
But if I move back to CyanogenMod 10.1 or stock, it works perfectly.
Can anyone help me out here?
THANKS!!
I had this exact same problem and banged my head against the wall over it and ended using just wpa, when I get time I'm going to attack the problem again though!

Well yes, but having this amazing phone and having trouble to connect to WIFI on a bar or something... sounds way too un-cool for me!
I hope someone has a solution for this,.. or at least a hint!
Have you tried using custom kernels such as Perseus or Siyah.
The kernel includes the Wifi drivers but not the wpa_supplicant so it should !e easy to pinpoint what causes it.
Also a logcat would be nice.

I had a look at that post, and I've tried most of those without any luck, and the one I haven't tried like an extreme wipe, I'm not willing to. I know it's not flawless logic what I'm going to say, but I think that if it works with some ROMs, it can't be solved by wiping.

Here is my problem.....I recently got the shw-m250s from korea.
I brought it to canada to use and there were many problems.
My first main concern was that the data was extremely slow.......
Secondly connection was always extremely bad.....
Thirdly sms functions did not work......
So after intense digging on this site.......People had solutions to the first two probelms.....so i tried it install new firmware, install custom firmware.....install new modem.bin files.....etc.etc. the person that i read off of was using the shw-m250k model......which is very simillar to the 250s.
so after about 15 hours of doing many different things.....nothing seemed to work....
so now im asking the forums to help me fix these issues....its extremely stressful and annoying that nothing is working......
Please help me fix these 3 main issues and i will be forever grateful....
lastly....if none of these things solve my issues....well then.....anyone interested in purchasing the m250s? i will restore factory setting and such....selling for decent price....if it comes down to it.

i will try my best
1. slow data? on 3g or wifi? i believe it may be your coverage mate. its not the fastest everywhere mate. if u have chance compare the speed with normal SGS2 in the same area. if its 3g check your APN network provider setup and make some changes that may follow. you can check that in setings-wireless-network--APN
2. conexion extremly bad - again the same apply - u cant compare this model with any other i mean with sgs1. the best way to find out whats the difference will be checking the signal of "real" SGS2.
3. i will recomend you to check Message centre - its inside MSG app - settings it maybe not supported so you will have to enter it manualy mate.
Hint-any APN or message change will need reboot in order to start working mate.
i know its not a big deal but at least i gave you some ideas.
thanks
Hello gyus, got a problem with Overcome 10.1 Series v2.3.0. While im charging my tab (P7510) the tab goes crazy. For example i touch e or another key on the keyboard, the tab recognizes b (example) or another part of the screen. As i already said this problem only comes up while charging, while im not charging it, this problem doesnt appear.
BTW, i'm using Pershoots Kernel.
Do you know how to solve this problem, does this problem also appear on your tab, or is this problem known?
Greetings
I don't use the ROM personally, but I think the guys in the thread for this ROM would have welcomed the question there. Could also be Pershoots kernel so just as well you posted this here. hopefully someone will get here with the knowledge needed to help.
If you can read this it was sent using my GT-P7510.
Are you using another cable? One that isn't Samsung?
I use the original cable. And, i would have posted in the thread but i don't have enough posts to post in the developer part of the board.

If I get a chance to get to my PC today I'll link to this post for you so the users there will see this and hopefully give you a quick and easy fix or answer.
If you can read this it was sent using my GT-P7510.
I just kinda realized this used to happen when I had wet hands/sweaty hands on the Galaxy S, when I typed via the keyboard, it tends to read another part of the keyboard and presses another key based on last area touched.
Do you ever get grounded when touching the metal parts like volume keys? Ever tried USB charging and seeing if it happens there too?
Will try to charge my tab on the PC next time. Ill keep you up to date.

Hello, I just bought a Xperia mini pro a few days ago and there seems to have a problem with the wifi connection on my Lynksys Wireless-G router.
1. when it connects to the router it only has 5 to 10 sec time span connection.
2. tried an application called wifi static on the android market using my mobile network and it didn't work
3. since i am just new here tried to read some forums for 5 hours and didn't get any info or I just got lost in between threads.
4. I don't know how to solve the issues with the router although I am seeing the same problems with other devices. No problems with laptops, other some brands of phones, apple products)
If there is a solid solution to this problem please do reply.
First of all, I think you should try to reset the router.

Fw. is the stock hungarian T-mobile and its rooted by zergrus.

Thanks in advance!

Tried it dozens of times. I was trying to check on other forums and threads but unfortunately, i didn't see a direct solution. But I was wondering how a SK17i is affected by a fluctuation on a specific 2.4 ghz router. Although other devices work perfectly.
Is there a solution other than changing the rom? Maybe a program or a calibration that is permitted by the device without sacrificing the warranty?
How?

I appreciate your help although im just gonna ask on a specific way to change that. Im still new at this I hope you understand. My expertise lies in a different category. If there is a way that you can help or help on providing a thread on how to change it, it is well appreciated.

im just saying i have wifi problems too and thats cause im on .42 fw. so im asking u what firmware version youre now on. if its .42 than thats most likely the cause of your wifi problem.
so my suggestion is try to upgrade your fw to .58 or .62 and the wifi problem would be gone i guess.
iam now trying to flash to .58 to fix my problems like yours too
edit: if its firmware fault then thats nothing you can do, i have tried wifi fixer from the market and its not fixing so the only way is to upgrade to the latest firmware and thats if youre actually currently on .42 fw

I upgraded to .62 using the pc companion. still having wifi problems. Any suggestions? I tried yesterday roaming around the neighborhood testing the wifi system of all the neighbors using different types of routers. It is working with their router. Unfortunately, my house and my parents house have the same router with the same problem.
I'm looking for a solution that can bypass any router so i wont have any problems wherever I go to. Using my HTC smartphone it works perfectly. Although SK17i doesnt agree with the thought.

well then the answer is simple.
fix your router!
because it is your router fault. not the phone
I had the same problem with my lynsys router when I got my mini pro, it would connect for a bit and disconnect, actually all the devices connected to the router would lose the connection. The fix, updated the router's firmware. No problems since then.
hope that helps.

Thanks so much for reminding me that. I just tried it today and it worked. Although I searched for more than an hour for an answer.
For those who has a Linksys wireless-G Router version 7 (not in the linksys website, I dont know why) just search this code below on Google or your preferred search engine.
FW_WRT54Gv7_*7.00.8.008_2*0090709.bin
Got mine in this website
bergfiles.com/i/bf4859cb7ah32i0
Combine this with the latest SK17i update using the PC companion
And everything will work smoothly

Just fixed it. I appreciate the wake up call. I thought there is a way around it.
The modem was reset so I checked the net. Saw the key to opening up the router website. I left the user id blank and put the password "admin" and got through the router website.
Thanks =]
HI , first of all sorry for my bad english ..
I have a very strange problem with wifi : the galaxy finds the network and all, it connects, internet works for 30 seconds ( more or less, it depends) then suddenly it stops working.. then it starts working again and so on !
I did a full reset and installed different roms, kernels and radios but the problem persists
how can it be possible ? from a moment to another, i was using the phone normaly when suddenly it happened.. it's possible to be a hardware problem ?
thanks for your support !!
Use a static IP address for WiFi (Google for how if you don't know).

Your English is fine dont worry about it, I probably cant speak your language at all. From my experience a hardware problem on your s2 seems improbable. Important is the rom you are using and or the kernel! Switching your radio doesn't really make a difference on S2s. Have you tried other peoples wifi? Is your wifi at home working fine apart from your s2?
On current slimbean without any other kernel your wifi should work correctly. Some people have problems with current Dorimanx releases though.

thanks to you either !
yes yes, everything was working fine, only the wifi in the galaxy .. setting in static mode seems to have solved the problem.. even i don't figure it out how doesn't work in dhcp mode anymore !
Glad it works now (and good job finding out how to do this yourself) Why would DHCP stop working all of a sudden ? That's a big mystery that nobody seems to know the answer to. It happens to a lot of people here & almost always really suddenly like in your case. I'm not entirely sure it's a case of WiFi driver 'corruption' as the problem often persists even after people do completely clean installs of roms/kernels.
So I think the cause is going to remain a mystery.

Hello everybody,
I made this account specifically for this one problem, and i don't belive i've seen it before on this site. Alright, let me cut to the chase:I've had a Galaxy Trend plus for about a year and a half now (an oldie but a goodie) and i use it as my daily driver, mostly for emulators and WiFi. With one of those two knocked out, i'm desperate for help.
Okay, so all of a sudden it displays the no connection icon like a crossed circle thingy, and whenever i turn on WiFi, it won't detect it even 10 inches from the router. I've never had this error and i'm pretty concerned. My SIM card works on my friends phone, however. I've looked everything there is to look up, and i've done everything software-wise , which makes me think it's a hardware problem. If it is, is it under the warranty or not?If I can't make phone calls or browse the Interwebs, the phone is pretty much useless. If you guys have any suggestions or ideas, please help out an old Android fanboy
