Wifi - Fascinate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Is there a tweak or setting to pull WiFi in better ? Asking because I'm able to connect nook tablet via free city WiFi, but fassy says "not in range". Just curious.

Ive run various ROM using two different Fassies. It has been my experience that it has the crappiest GPS and Wifi. But wifi seems to work the best when I used AOKP. Something else you could try as well that helped me was an app called InSIDer. Using the stock wifi listing itwould only show about 3 active. But when using the InSIDer wifi scanner or Wigle it would show about 10. I would give one of those a try.

[Q] Help! My X10 Can't Detect Wifi...

My X10 can't detect my home wifi... What can I do? It can detect wifi anywhere but not my home wifi... So, I guess it's the problem with home router. Btw, I'm using Innacomm W3400V wireless modem... Thanks in advance!!

Check your router settings it might have something to do with the isolation setting I can't think of the name of it but I will hopefully

A lot of the newer roms are also having issues with any router using WPA2 encryption (can't say for sure with WEP, since I don't have any to test with). But if you're open (no encryption) it'll connect just fine, but WPA/WPA2, it'll have some connection problems. Lots of people are having this issue, there's a few fixes that work for some, but not for others. Search is a great friend for that.
try making a second ssid for your phone on ur router
If all else fails and you need a new router...
save a few bucks on a router and use this instead.

I use this on several USB dongles on the end of some long usb leads.
Gets me wifi everywhere.
even use this on laptop in my car, wifi hotspot any where "we play dota after work"
Reset your wi-fi password if u hav 1. Otherwise check if your phonevcan detect other networks, and check if other people can join your network. good luck.

ok, should be your router's problem then. Sign onto your ISO's account settings if it only allows commuters to connect. Some router's default settings are configured like that. Can other devices (not computers) connect to it home wifi?
Like I said, if u hav security code, reset it.

You should try flashing different basebands. Search for modem collection on the developer subforum.
Try changing your regulatory channels in wifi settings> advanced.
I flashed another baseband but it dind't work
P.s. I flashed the baseband that was working for me on other rom's

Off topic so I appologise. But dude what's the kindle like? Thinking of getting one? Back on topic, I find if you turn sleep policy to never then it solves most issues. Also some routers I've heard cause issues.

Yeah, I've had those wifi problems too. But the wifi works after a while. How? I don't know. And I have no idea whats causing the problem either.
this is a general problem with CM7. If you press the wifi icon sometimes it won't get an ip but if you long press it again it takes you to wifi settings menu and for some weird reason it gets conected. This does not happen all the time but bottom line is that wifi is working.
Sometimes the above method doesn't work, you hane to disconnect and connect again. Flashing different basebands will not do the job as I tried this before. It's just a small issue.

Yes am using this on GSM. Working without an issue in that aspect.
My Wi-Fi is not so stable though keeps disconnecting sometimes
I've set the wifi sleep setting to "never" but it goes back to GSM data sometimes.
Dev, can we exclude some file managers (there are 3 now)(Users can always delete stuff.. but..).
Thanks for your time.

[Q] unable to get wifi tether to work

I'm running the viper rom http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2124391
I've tried using 4 different tether apps including foxfi, the spring hotspot and wifi tether 3.2 pre2
None of them work. At worst the wifi connection doesn't even show up in the list of wifi networks. At best it starts to connect and if i have no encryption, says it's obtaining an IP address and never gets past that (the app shows a connected device at this point) or if i have encryption enabled, it doesn't get past authenticating.
I also saw a post about editing the build.prob to have ro.ril.transmitpower = true - tried doing that as well to no effect.
In the wifi tether app i tried using the two generic ics profiles. I tried it with mms clamping and route fix on and off - no good.
Can anyone please offer me some suggestions on how to fix this or at least narrow down what the issue is?
Thanks
Try this version

access control was off - even if it was on it should give me a prompt to accept the connection or not.
I had to do a full wipe of my phone and reinstall the rom - i wish i knew what it was that messed it up so i can avoid doing it again.

GS4 Wifi Tether Fix (root only)

Hey guys/gals, here is a fix for the VZW GS4 that resolves the issue of WiFi hotspot tethering. In the latest update, you now get an errors message that checks for an active subscription and then gives you an error and turns off the hotspot. Here are 2 methods I found.
Method 1: Download any app that allows you to freeze/defrost packages. If you cannot find one or do not have one, download an app called System Tuner by 3c. You have to find a package called "SPG" (system package). Freeze this package and it will prevent the phone from checking for a subscription service. Run your non-factory hotspot app. It will crash and maybe freeze for the first time, and then exit, just reopen it and it should then work.
Method 2: Using System Tuner, find the package called "SPG" and click on it so that it becomes highlighted. Then click "Details" so that it brings up the info about the app. It should show a list of packages under the "Activites" section (near the bottom). Uncheck the box labeled "NewSPGActivity". After this, you can run your hotspot app and it should crash/freeze for the first run. After that, it should run smoothly.
I hope this works for you all. If you have any questions or issues, just reply to this thread. Don't forget to give me a thanks!
Note: Do not use the built-in wifi hotspot toggle switch, it will crash. Download an app from the market to toggle it.
Note: If you cannot access the settings by clicking on the Hotspot notification, do this: settings>more networks>mobile hotspot.
Note: I am running ME7 with 4.2.2 JellyBean and stock rom.

Foxfi works with no subscription notice all you have to do is make a pattern lock when it asks you.

Foxfi seems to be working. No adhoc error. I've yet to connect to it though. Cautiously optimistic

What exactly force closed?
If you are trying to run the hotspot from the built it button, it will crash. Use an external app for your hotspot. I use "1-click tether" at the moment. I'm going to do some more looking right now.

I just use the toggle. Then, after that hold down the home button for recent apps and go right back to what I was doing...
Yes, was trying to use the built in button and the app crashed. I haven't had any problems with third party tether toggle apps. After getting the subscription check and hitting the home button I am good to go.

FoxFi uses your data plan, so if you don't have unlimited data it will cost you a lot of money. The technique I'm using prevents the phone from checking if you have an active subscription or not. Also, FoxFi limits how long you can use it continuously if you don't purchase the pro version. I used to use FoxFi before i rooted my phone.
On VRUAME7 build hack is not required. Toggle the built-in Wifi hotspot on and as soon as the subscription check message comes up just press the home button and it will go in the background but you will be able to still use tethering.
i just froze that app. and installed a third party wifi tether app and it worked .,thanks

IF you are correct, you still have to deal with the message every time you want to tether. Also, since you have to hit the home button, if you want to change your setting or anything then you have to go back into the app and deal with the message again. This just makes it easier. Your idea just avoids the issue, mine fixes it. I wasn't trying to be rude or anything. Have a good day!
