i got my fascinate yesterday, from my sister, tried to go on the phone as is and couldn't get pass the activation.
downloaded Odin and everything went fine
went thru recovery and installed the ROM and it booted.
i skipped the activation and tried to use WiFi and nothing.( when i click on it it just goes a little darker and says WiFi turning on)
so i went into advanced setting in WiFi and looked at WiFi location and its on Europe.
tried changing to USA and when i go back into it its changed back to Europe.
tried a couple of jellybean roms and the same thing WiFi wont turn on
im not activating the phone just using as WiFi so i downloaded gee-wiz WiFi ROM and same thing no WiFi
Any ideas????????

I'm having issues with my WiFi as well, will not connect at all. I used droidstyle's guide to the letter. I flashed Superclean3 ROM, used lean kernel and used a radio listed for gingerbread. Help! Samsung Fascinate for Verizon.

I installed ICS on my T-mobile Vibrant and everything works except for the "phone" part. I can't connect to T-mobile for whatever reason and I really like Android 4.0, but I might just go back to CM7 if I can't fix this. Any suggestions?

Are you having issues hearing, or flat out not connecting to the network at all?
Cannot connect to TMobile after updating to ICS
I have the same problem.
After updating my Samsung Vibrant T959 to ICS, I cannot connect to T-mobile. The network kept searching for the available network but did not find anything.
My Wifi worked OK, I could search the web, but I could not connect to T-mobile to make a call.
Please help.
Thanks,

I just downloaded the ICS ROM from team hacksung and I love the ROM, but there's only one problem: My 3G data isn't working. Wifi works, which I am using right now, but no data and I don't know why. My 3G data was working fine before I flashed to ICS (it was working in EH03 GB) I'm just wondering if anyone else has a Verizon Fascinate fully flashed to Cricket who has had the same problem and knows how to fix it or can confirm a working ICS ROM that you've used where everything including data is working?
I'm the only one in the whole forum on Cricket? Someone's gotta be able to help....
Check your settings with CDMA Workshop or QPST. Most likely all you will need to do is open QPST, do not read from phone just write the correct settings under PPP Config. If that doesn't work then here is all you need to get it up and running again.

You more than likely just need apn shortcut apk to configure your apns if it was already working as you say or you flashed a rom that changed your prl and you need you change it back. Im running CM9 ICS from Hashcode on my droid3 and it works just fine. I just had to install the cricket universal mms apk to get the picture text working but regular text works fine with the stock mms. You will need the sms fix apk also they are all found in the cricketusers.com forum I hope this helped you out but I cant post the exact link here

I never got a reply from this guy so I have no idea if we are helping him at all... He posted this on 16th February 2012. A lot of people on XDA that never reply after you try to help them these days.
Sorry about not replying. I ended up posting on the rootzwiki forum where I got the rom and someone posted an "alternate carrier data fix" .zip file that I flashed through cwm. It ended up working instantly. If anyone is interested I can post the file when I get to my computer.

Yes please do. I was just trying to get gummy ics to work and no 3G. I couldnt access phoneutil to swap usb to modem to be able to connect to qpst, then i directly installed phoneutil but swapping pda to modem didnt do anything. Started to do more research and your post came up.
Definitely need that file.

Here ya go. Just flash the .zip in cwm and reboot. This worked for me so hopefully you have the same fate.
http://www.cricketusers.com/attachment.php?attachmentid=1342&d=1325574851
P.S. For some reason phoneutil does not exist in ICS and neither does a programming menu. I have another thread asking the devs if they know if these menus even exist anymore, but I get no answer.

I tried the one you linked to and it didn't work for me. Although I didn't let gummy boot before I flashed it. I tried a different one and it did the trick. Unfortunately I can't post the link yet since I'm new. I'll see if I fan pm you and you can add it to your post.

what roms have you flashed in the past and then SBF'ed back from. did you wipe your system prior to SBF'ing back from any custom roms? these could all contribute to the issue.
I tried JB recently but since then I have had almost none existent Wifi. It tries to connect but then says Authentication failed.
I appreciate there is a known issue with JB roms not having an updated Bootloader or something of that nature, and I have also read that it is possible to fix the issue by using Odin to revert back to stock.
These are the steps I have taken:
1. Flash Stock Rom using Odin.
2. Reflash Stock Rom using Odin but also updating bootloader.
I have heard that the above steps do indeed fix the issue, but unfortunately I have found no evidence to suggest that.
As there are many people using JB now (well at least there are plenty of ASOP and Stock JB roms knocking about), has anyone else had this issue, and if so, has anyone got a nice step-by-step tutorial on fixing the Wifi issue?
I really need help now, as my phone is almost unusable without a Wifi connection.
Thanks in advance!

There was an issue about wifi in older leaks but it has been solved already. I suggest you should try latest jellybean leak XXDLI1. you will not have to full wipe... so dont worry. you will not lose any data or app or anything....
I've just installed CheckROM EVO HD 5.0 and my Wifi signal is still weak.
You mentioned in your reply that Wifi is fixed in newer JB builds, but why didn't it work going back to ICS stock either?
Really need an answer for this as I'm going round in circles.
I actually never tried going back to ICS.when I had the same problem I just flashed the newer JB and it worked like charm. Try installing different modem..

Does the modem really affect Wifi? I would assume that the modems only relate to the GSM capabilities of the phone.

In that case restore to ICS and wait for JB to be released by Samsung .

As you said before that you already installed back ics which also has different kernel than jb that you used and it didn't worked as well, so tests why I said TRY installing different modem.

why not just download a different rom? lots of custom roms such as hypergalaxy are nice light and basically stock but faster
Problem found!
Ok....I've found the problem.
It appears that my WIFI refuses to connect to any WIFI running on the 2.4Ghz spectrum. Whether I set security as Open/WEP/WPA/WPA2 etc I cannot connect unless I am literally within a metre of the Access Point.
Luckily at my workplace we have 2.4Ghz and 5Ghz spectrums available for WIFI. If I only allow the 5Ghz spectrum on my phone I can connect to the APs without an issue! Leaving my phone on 'Auto', allowing both 2.4 and 5 I cannot connect.
The problem here is, my home router, as with most people, doesn't support 5Ghz, and being with Sky Broadband I cannot get access to my Broadband account details. This of course means I cannot replace my router! :-/ I can however connect a new router to the network, disable AP on the Sky router and enable AP on the new 5Ghz router.
....so I have a work-around!
But this isn't enough! WHY WHY WHY does my phone have problems with 2.4Ghz???
Steps I have taken (in no particular order):
Flashed back to Stock, gone from Stock to Rooted ICS, ICS to JB, back again, and in every combination
Disabled Wireless Power-saving on my phone
Flashed various kernels
Flashed various modems (yes I know modems have nothing to do with Wifi...but some people on this forum insist this can fix Wifi issues)
....and NONE of the above have worked.
Could this be a hardware issue?
Anyone else experience this?
Well to start of, I purchased a second hand Samsung Galaxy S4, I did check that everything was working and it was working correctly, until I tried to put the phone on airplane mode to charge it and tried activating the WiFi to keep on using it. (Note: The Wi-Fi was working before I put the phone on airplane mode.) It was strange so I turned off airplane mode and tried to turn Wi-Fi on once again and it didn't enable. So I went ahead and rebooted the cellphone and no luck. I didn't pay much attention until I got home, where I decided to restore to factory settings and yes, the Wi-Fi started working, but only for a few hours, I decided to do the same and it appeared to be working, but then again it stopped working and from that point no luck either. I looked up some possible solutions such as hard-resets, removing the battery, waiting for a while, etc, various methods and no luck. Bluetooth has the same problem but I really don't use it. The phone is unlocked and appears to have a different stock rom, as when it turns on it has "Claro" as a greeting which is a spanish network company. I am not sure if this affects in anyway but I am trying to give as much information as I can, any help would be excellent so I would surely aprecciate any help at all, thanks. :crying:
For a start, try flashing a different custom rom that is available on samsung galaxy s4 forum. If you dont know how to,make sure to read the frequently asked question that is made available in the forum. If that doesn't work, you need to flash the stock/official rom. That should do the trick. But that might lock/unroot your phone.

Okay I'm going to flash a custom rom, but just in case it doesn't work, would you be able to help me find the original stock rom? I'm not 100% sure of the original network and like I said it looked to be flashed to another rom which was not the original, once I'm done with the custom rom I'll give you some feedback, thanks!

Just to make sure, does the kernel affect the WiFi in any way? Because I noticed some red letters on the top left-hand corner saying something about the Kernel, and I have read about flashing the kernel which I don't understand..
