Well after hours of searching i cannot find the solution to my problem...any help would be appreciated. please read series of events below.
- Got my Note 2 on Verizon in Jan
- Following week dropped phone and cracked screen. replaced glass and digitizer with OEM part
- Loved my phone and then the 4.1.2 update released.. battery life went down the drain and WiFi is a mess
- Phone won't connect to Wifi but if i get close to my router at home it will connect but if i go in the other room it loses connection. Same thing happens in other Wifi locations. Sometimes it will recognize the network and then say "saved,secured", but still doesn't connect. or sometimes it will attempt to connect and then i will get authentication error occurred.
- Thought it was the update so unlocked/rooted my device...Started with Jelly Beans, problem still present. Tried Cm10, same issue.
I am currently rooted running CM10 4.2.2 baseband version I605VRAMC3
I can't seem to figure this out. Is it the radio? software? Thoughts?

Sounds like when you took your phone apart you did not either connect the cables for the antenna tightly, which you should see degraded call and 4g lte signal also. Or the antenna is damaged. On the other hand. I have heard of dirty or damaged sims causing this problem. Take a pencil eraser and clean off the gold by lightly wiping with the eraser in one direction. Or get a new sim. All this of course is dependent on you running a rom that does not have WiFi issues to start with.
Could it be the baseband? Is there a way to go back to the radio before the 4.1.2...this all started after the update.

If your unlocked you can easily get them from the thread Scott made in the Dev section. You flash them in recovery.

Can i get you to point me in the right direction? all i have found is how to unlock the device when you are on the older version.
Can i just flash the old radio and stay unlocked/rooted? does anyone have a direct download link to older radio VRALL4?
Sorry new to the site, have been searching but can't find what i am looking for.
shangrila500 already pointed out the radios are located in development section look for radiosmodemsbaseband thread (that section only has 4 pages its in there). You can flash the radios without affecting your root status. do a nandroid backup before just to be safe if you like. wipe 2x cache and flash. You can test all 3 one right after another. Do a lot of reading to get your weight up by looking for sticked how to's and the like-it will help. Also if you did take your phone apart consider dragonstalkers post. The only way to problem solve is come at it from all angles.

hey everybody i have a problem and its pising me off , well the problem is this when i 1st got my phone i went into mobile network settings> network mode then selected gsm now i keep going from 2 bars to 0 bars is anybody else having this same problem ? im sim unlocked on vodafone uk HELP PLZ
Hi,
I am with o2 and I'm having the same problem. It generally has around 0-2 bars of signal. At the minute I have switched back to auto mode to see if this helps improve things...
Flash different modem with Odin.
Official firmware found here:
http://samsung-updates.com/device/?id=GT-I9300
Or
http://samfirmware.com/
More here plus guide:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1671969
You can just extract the modem and flash as individual package with Odin.
Hope this helps
Which one should I flash?
It's trial and error.
Different regions, carriers, location, band, etc all make a difference.
Also, different modems may affect (better or worse) 3g HSPA etc signal stability, strength, speed etc.

That's exactly what I've already suggested.
Radio and modem are same. Samsung generally use "modem"

I've got a similar problem it's just with my wifi, it turn of and off,my first thought was of cause
That its the modem and change that would fix it, but after 20 hours(got my phone yesterday)its getting better,but the phone still turns wifi of when is want to dl. large files or in-app dl., like additional files in zombie killer or opgrade an app from within the app.
anyone else have this issue or a solution.
i have resisted to root my phone yet, if i had to return the phone.
Thanks very much for the advice.
Are Samsung likely to release a firmware update to sort out issues like this? I don't really want to start having to flash a brand new phone to try and get it to work as it should out of the box...
Also zodiaxe66; I am having that problem too. The wifi just disconnects and immediately reconnects randomly while I'm using the phones browser...

When is got it yesterday my browsing was awful, but it now it works,large files is where my problem starts, the second i hit dl. the wifi disconnect and yesterday in had a hard time connecting again, but that problem solved itself,now it connect immediately after disconnect.
Still think its a modem problem, but i don't want to flash anything before I'm sure its not a hardware problem(and yeah i know how to flash and reset counter)
Ps.
it just disconnected again and it said "network disconnected - bad connection"
When i try to "ping" i get a false message
If it is a firmware problem and I have to flash, then so be it. Just a bit annoyed that I have a brand new phone that is having problems because the manufacturer didn't load the correct firmware in the first place.
Anyways, I am with O2 in the UK so looking at that Official firmware list
would it make sense to flash this one? -
GT-I9300 O2U I9300XXALE8 Android 4.0.4 01.06.2012 12-05-2012 554452
Thanks very much guys
@muldersleigh
Could u give me a heads up if it fixes the wifi prob. to flash a new modem or firmware..
i would appreciate that
No probs. If I decide to go ahead and flash I will let you know how it goes.
But I just checked and the firmware I posted there that I was thinking of flashing is the one that's already installed on my phone, so not sure which one to go for and if it is trial and error, that means flashing one and working with it for a day and so on until finding one that works well.
That's a lot of effort for a brand new device! I will keep you posted on any developments though. Please do the same for me.
Many thanks
I have the same issues with signal and wifi.
I get weak signal and very weak wifi with dropouts. My 3g even keeps disconnecting.
I'm not sure if it's a hardware probelm or not. If it was software then more people would have a problem.
I'm still not sure whether to get phone exchanged or not.
I'm going to keep an eye on it for another few days and note down any factors that seem to increase the problem etc.
The other thing I should mention is that from time to time during calls it seems to drop out and people have told me it sounds like I'm under water...
This may be related to the signal issues but has anyone else experienced similar voice issues?
I don't know about signal strength,as i don't have a micro-sim.my carrier didn't send it when i ordered it so had to reorder a new sim yesterday.I'll get it Monday. But u don't have to flash a full firmware, just the modem with Odin. I think XXLEF is the latest, if not go to samfirmware.com and check. I won't flash anything till i get my sim on Monday.
but if u need guidance on how to flash,just ask.

As a general rule for Samsung devices, at least for SGS2, most likely same here too.
Modem (Radio) > cellular ie. 2G 3G etc
Kernel > WiFi
Edit: To those that need to flash modem or kernel, The individual packages are for download and link to flashing guide in a previous post. Not necessary to flash full firmware. Easy to flash via Odin.....

Possibly if by some chance it get screwed up., but it's official and no real evidence left behind if you need too return it for warranty . Just flash back the o2 firmware. Done. If you have root, this will unroot too .

Hi, I was running BAMF Sense 5.0 ROM and suddenly wifi stopped working. It just gets stuck at "Turning on Wifi".
I am S-Off and I've tried flashing another kernel but no luck.
Anyone know what's wrong?
Oddly enough this just happened to me earlier today. WiFi wouldn't connect to my home network, but could see all available networks in my area. I tried turning WiFi off and on again, bit would get stuck at "turning on" without actually turning on. My laptop was able to connect just fine.
The problem seemed to fix itself by rebooting my router. Hasn't happened since.

That's not the problem for me. It literally just won't turn on no matter what I do. No restart works, resetting router, flashing kernel. It's really frustrating.

I've not been able to fix it. I since moved onto Lumia 1520, but still want to get my Droid working again. Was thinking maybe buying replacement parts and self-fixing. But looking online, HTC Ones look pretty cheap these days, so may just buy one of those instead. If I'm to repair it myself, I'm not entirely sure where the Wifi is.
Was thinking just buying this, but it is kinda pricey...

I installed official CM11 and everything is working great now.
Hello,
I'm looking for some help with my son's sgh-i757m phone. I'll try layout my history on the phone and question in some hopefully easy layout.
What I did
at my son's request, I changed the stock rom on my son's sgh-i757m (Samsung Galaxy S2 LTE) for him. He wanted to be able to install apps and customize his phone as he wished. i installed the paranoid android rom for him successfully.
Problem
Once installed he began losing cell phone network connection. This progressively got worse and now it barely works.
My troubleshooting
I tried installing other custom rom's to see if this would resolve the problem. Nothing seems to work. The present rom I have which is Dadoes. This one seems to work the best BUT i only get signal within 1 block of the cell phone tower. (oh ya... i live in a small town where we only have two cell towers in the valley here.)
I tried researching terminal commands to boost the radio signal but I haven't found anything for the sgh-i757m.
I've also done the *#*#4636#*#* trick... nothing... i've installed network boosters but those don't do anything.
What Haven't I done
I haven't tried to install a different radio rom... (maybe I did, but in my research there isn't an explanation if this is different from the OS rom).
I haven't tested whether it is a hardware issue as I don't know how
What I am asking
Can I get help regarding radio roms; is this different from OS rom's? if it is different... where do I find them and more information on this?
Can I get help on steps to test my hardware to see if this is the issue?
Any pointers if I am missing anything?
Thank you... oh and this is my first post.
I'm out of lurking and posting now.
Respectfully,
KrustyQ-tip

HI buddy , welcome to our section .
Now your problem, did you tried to reflash the stock ROM back after you saw that your phone is having problems to see if the problem is solving?
I did took a search on this forum and I found this thread :

Well... thank you for your reply. I didn't have a backup of my son's original rom but my daughter just broke her phone and it was exactly the same. So, I thought I would back her's up then put it on my son's. What she did was break her screen. So, I thought I could swap screens or parts to make this work. I was able to take my daughters apart and was able to take my son's apart. In taking apart my son's phone, I found that the attenae cable wasn't attached to it's connector. So I plugged that in then tested and voila! It works!! pheew!! Was getting worried that I was losing my mind (maybe I did?).
Thank you for your help. I did do the custom roots and roms. Now my son can choose which one he wants!
Respects,

I am currently experiencing horribly low wifi reception. Sitting right next to the router the signal jumps from full to low randomly and it doesn't catch any wifi in spots where my other devices do. What do I do? Same happened in 4.3 and 4.4.2.
I already did factory reset, switched from Auto to 2.4GHz and 5GHz bands, same happens (Well, no wifi with 5GHz band.). My router is okay, other devices catch the signal two floors down, while this can't keep it stable right next to it.
Screenshot of me sitting right next to the router.

I'm seeing the same problem. As much as I love the design, both the Wi-Fi and Cell reception are the worst I've ever had on a phone. HORRIBLE.
could be any number of issues. each persons environment is different.
i have a linksys wrt 1900 AC router and I use all 5ghz devices and the one max works wonderfully on the 5ghz spectrum.
could be an issue with your radio in the phone itself. im stock non rooted latest update.
The cell reply is great, I have nothing to say about it. However, I took it to the dealer and they'll change the wifi chip, we'll see how it'll go.

Do you have any (good) news from your dealer ? I have the same problem as snapz54. WiFi speed is about 10x slower than my 10 cm distant laptop when I'm not really close to my AP and EDGE/3G/HSDPA/4G data works well only 1 min if I'm in luck when i reset my connection (airplane mode on/off). The rest of the time, well... See joigned screenshot...
I tried stock 4.3, 4.4.2 Sense 5.5 & 6/CM/PAC/NuSense ROMs with stock/FlyKernel/built-in kernels and 4T.21.3218.31_10.16.1718.01L (3.15.1540.1) / ?Don't remember? (3.14.707.3) radios with no luck.
Now I'm running out of ideas...

Right, now I am in trouble. Flashed ROM, forgot to wipe data (maybe it does have to do somehing with the problem.), booted, got decryption password because of "unable to mount /data". Went back to recovery and restored my old stock ROM. However, decryption screen still persists, leaving me able to use lockscreen only. The problem is that this rom has USB debugging off and Fast Boot on and I can't change that because of the password requirement, so I can't use ADB or boot into recovery using keys. What do I do to get into recovery?

Hold volume down while phone is booting. Should do the trick. That will get you into fastboot which allows you to get into recovery.
Holding Vol Up + Vol Down + Power while phone was on did the trick, as it restarted and while it was resarting I did Vol Down + Power and voila, problem solved.
Greetings all. Long time lurker and first time poster just for this dilemma.
I have a MB 860 that was given to me to be my new ForeverPhone. WiFi is stuck at a perpetual grayed out "On" where it is instructing me to connect with WiFi to see networks. Sounds typical and you are about to yell at me for not using the search function, right?
But here's the kicker: Bluetooth works and works well. It connects. It disconnects. It is glorious.
All the other threads are about a combined WiFi/Bluetooth failure. I don't have that combination. And none of the threads solve my problem.
Here is what I did before the WiFi borked on me:
Unlocked the boot loader.
Installed the KitKat ROM for the phone based unofficially on CM 11. (Works a treat, too!)
Requested and received an unlock code from ATT so that I could travel internationally.
Attempted (thrice) to unlock the carrier lock while inside a Rooted non-stock ROM. (I didn't know better.)
Carrier unlock code failed ... but so suddenly did WiFi.
WiFi now not working, I then went on to:
Reverted to Stock so as to carrier unlock. Stock revert worked.
Carrier unlock then worked.
Stock's WiFi said "Error" instead of OFF/ON.
Stock started randomly rebooting.
Returned to KitKat of Gloriousness. Returned to a still non-functioning WiFi but at least without the random reboots. Enjoying my carrier unlock freedom.
So, now I ask you all ... what happens if WiFi is borked but Bluetooth still works. What then? Likely not a hardware problem, right?
So what do I need to flash/fix? What bit of code in what place got corrupted from me trying to carrier unlock from a rooted ROM? And where can I find the correct bit of code to replace it with?
Thank you ever so kindly!!!!
PS: Not that you need it, but I got you some pictures of the non-functional WiFi so you can see what I am perpetually stuck with. (Again, Bluetooth works!)

An sbf hits every partition available, a backup only hits select ones. Now if wifi will not turn on at all, even after a backup is restored, then your wifi chip is dead, time for a replacement

The problem with the "the wifi chip is dead" argument is that it is an integrated chip with Bluetooth so if the chip is dead, both should be nonfunctional. And Bluetooth works.
But I'm game to try to sbf. Do you have a link to a working, reputable sbf for the MB860?

Many thanks. Unfortunately, that didn't fix it.
However, I purchased a few other Atrix 4Gs from eBay and was able to confirm that trying to unlock while inside a CM rom does, indeed, kill WiFi consistently. So it cannot be a hardware issue.
Then I used the last one to be my permanent phone and unlocked it properly, before doing anything snazzy to it.
So for those people who still have Atrix 4Gs, now we know a new thing: SIM unlocks need to be done on a stock ROM or else!
