Hi all,
I'm on XperiaU with CM9-ZIII and I'm having some real trouble with my wlan (probably a hw failure as I've tried literally everything,
from SUS, to other kernels/ROMs, factory resets, trying other access points etc).
So I want to ask if there is any way to permanently disable it. For instance I don't want to turn it on accidentaly (did I mention that it crashes and I have to factory reset each time it happens... ( ), or google services (whatever it is) that it turns it on when I try to log in with my g.account.
I tried removing the kernel module (cw1200_wlan.ko) but it would crash then on the next boot. No modprobe.d in Android...
Many thanks in advance for any info/help!
Edit: In case anyone has similar issue, I found a workaround by editing build.prop, wifi.interface=<non-existent name>

Hello,
When i try to visit my gmail account or any kind of https website, i get a blank page. I've already tried in the setting to erase cookies and cache but nothing really changes.
Anyone has an idea ?
Thanks !
I have the exact same problem!
A factory reset solved the issue so I figured I had changed some settings. However the problem reoccurred after I re-installed the apps I had downloaded before so I came to the conclusion that it was related to some of the apps. Sadly I wasn't able to rule out which since I had to log out and re-log in evertime I uninstalled an application.
Being lazy I once again did a factory reset BUT this time the issue was still there. VERY annoying since I need my Gmail Tasks.

Thanks for your reply ! I already installed many apps and I don't want to uninstall each app or do a hard reset.
I read the google code page and many users have Orange (french) as their carrier, so am I.
Maybe it comes from there, I'm going to follow this issue and as soon as I have something, I'll keep you posted !
Found a working solution in this thread:

Turns out all I needed to do was delete the proxy and port from my APN settings. I guess they were in the sim chip and then installed automatically during setup.
Hi guys,
Wonder if anyone can shed a light why this happens. It's been going on for the last few months – Originally I thought I'd wait and see if the problem resolves by itself. But seems to get slightly worse over time now.
I am currently: Rooted & Unlocked
Problem: System hangs after reboot at home screen with message “Process System Not Responding” - with option to wait or terminate the process – Whatever option is chosen, ATP will reboot itself.
Frequency: Unpredictable – But once the message appears after switching it on, ATP will reboot itself 2 to 4 times before I can use it again.
I had done a lot of searches, but there doesn't appear to be any solution / or anyone knows why this is happening. One useful comment I found recently said this may be due to some processes starting before they are meant to during boot up sequence – but no details were given.
What I had tried (based on numerous suggestions after searching the net):
Wipe Dalvik Cache / Caches
Clear “Media Storage” and “Google Framework Services” data
Remove my accounts (currently I have two accounts registered in my ATP) and re-register the accounts.
Remove all the widgets from home screen
Hard reset / Factory Reset
Finally – Multiple different combinations of the above
Getting quite frustrated here.
Wonder if anyone can help please?
Thank you in advance.
[Q] "Process System Not Responding" researching and even downgrading to .15 --> .21, I think the problem is finally solved.
Allegedly "Process System is Not Responding" may be caused by process(es) that hangs or take too long to complete during the boot up sequence. So I uninstall blindly one program at a time - and it appears that Cachemate might have caused it.
Prior to this, every 3-4 normal boots, were followed by 2-3 "Process System is Not Responding" until a normal boot followed. I am now 48 hours problem free. Hopefully it will stay this way.
Edit (11/06) - Ok, spoke too soon. Got the message again after 24hours of use and after roughly 15 normal reboots (I switched ATP off/on these many times to make sure the problem was well and truly gone). The Cachemate could just be a red herring then. However there appear to be less in term of frequency. I noted that the message came on after I watched a video (3hours long video - 600mb in size) and rebooted ATP. Tried disabling media storage (no real logic here, I thought I just gave it a go) - but the problem is still there. So this evening, I reflashed the asus .21 rom --> downgrade to .15 --> reroot --> upgrade back to .21 (again to real logic here, thought I give it a go).
I can't think what else to do. I wonder if large hosts file (mine is 8mb) could cause the problem or the wallpaper I use that is stored under /sdcard - but again, the problem/message only comes up randomly.
Edit (13/06) - Finally managed to narrow down the problem. Everytime a large hosts file (mine is about 8mb) is created, the problem comes (faithfully everytime). And when the original smaller hosts file is restored - problem is gone entirely.
Any input on workaround is very much appreciated.
alright i fixed it on my phone. i did a full wipe. tell me if i need to explain how to do this. reflashed the ROM and gapps. when i went through the setup the first time there was an option to restore from google. it was checked by default. i left it checked. same problem... system process not responding... wiped and started over and reflashed ROM and gapps. unchecked restore google and it didnt come back. phone hasnt crashed since. the problem lies within the wifi passwords restore. the problem started when i was trying to start wifi. i dont know where to report the bug or i would. good luck and any questions? just quote this so i get an email and ill try to explain if this didnt make sense. hope it helped. if it did consider buying my buddy a beer who is a dev and needs a new computer. http://johntriger-development.yolasite.com/
HI,
As it seems my sgs2 have some hardware problems with wifi -> when I try to activate/deactiva it, the state freezes, but phone stil works normal (without wifi offcourse). Now the wifi status is enabled and every time I tried to deactive it, process "android system" freezes. Also when I turn off/reset phone the wifi is still enabled (remember the settings from before somehow) or in the midle state (turing off).
So my question is: where I can set wifi to stay off when you turn phone on (.conf file maybe) So when the phone is turned on, wifi won't be activated.
I don't want to do factory reset yet.
Tnx
I backup with clockworkmod, then do the system reset and restore back only the data and still the same
If I only do the system reset then wifi in disabled. THIS IS OK, but I have to install all apps and do much settings.
So I really appriciate it if someone know hot to disable wifi on boot?
I also try to add some lines in file /system/build.prop to disable wifi, but without success
Looks like you need to do a full reset and a clean flash...
look into chainfires thread in i9100 original Android Dev section, find the firmware for your phone and flash away
Sent from my GT-I9100 using xda app-developers app
Tried to flash it with this offical firmware I9100XWLPT (4.0.4):
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1544487
But the wifi stil can't be activated! I install program alogcat and that error appear a lot of times: "supplicant not running, cannot connect"
So I'm back to my old stable version 2.3.5.
I only need to figute out how to disable wifi, so the phone will work normal

Click to expand...
Click to collapse
it's obvious to be a SW problem
just make a full wipe ( wipe cache,data/factory reset,dalvik cache ) and try to install a new rom like sensation .. i've tried it and it's really stable and everything should be working well with u
if this fails .. so take it to service center
or you could use titanium backup, first nav. to apk folder and copy paste wifi apk's, two i think, into a new folder then delete the apps using tb then wipe dalvik cache reboot let it redo app optimisation this will put apps allready installed on then reinstall wifi apk's. failing this as evryone says below.
Still don't know my main question:
Where I can set wifi to stay off when you turn phone on (.conf file maybe) So when the phone is turned on, wifi won't be activated.

This looks like kernel issue.
Try to change your kernel to a custom one.
Personally, I'll recommend Siyah or Speedmod
Swyped from my Samsung Galaxy SII
Tried different kernels, but I got HW issue!
Found something useful, but this is can be done after boot:
Use Android Terminal Emulator and enter:
svc wifi disable
Finally!! I find the solution:
I have to edit this file: (I use app aSQLiteManager and aShell to edit .db file)
/data/data/com.android.providers.settings/databases/settings.db
Inside database file is a table called secure and the field wifi_on has to be changed from 1 to 0.
After reboot wifi was disabled.
You could do that if you phone has hardware issues with WIFI module. Otherwise Andoid OS is very unstable.
Hi, i have a question. If my database file called secure doesn´t have wifi_on field? .... just i have to add the field or what? thanks
Hello,
I'm trying to get an Alcatel Idol X (One Touch 6040D, no custom roms or modifications) out of a crash loop, but have been unsuccessful so far. The trouble started when the phone wanted to download and install text-to-speech voice data ("Female for English"). At some point this download/install crashes, causing the phone to reboot. When rebooting the phone hangs on the Alcatel screen with white background. I have to power it off then on again. Then it boots and starts the download/installation again, causing it to crash seconds after.
I've tried the following to no avail:
Clear cache partition from recovery menu.
Force stopping "Download Manager" and clearing cache & data. I have to be very quick to do this, otherwise the phone reboots. Unfortunately clicking the clear buttons has no effect. The used disk space stays the same (80.00KB data, 12.00KB cache). The phone will not reboot at this point, but many apps (Google Play, Settings,...) and processes are crashing repeatedly (android.process.acore, android.process.media and com.google.process.gapps). Eventually, so much has stopped working that the phone reboots.
There's a thread, I found almost a month ago on Androidcentral, about this very same problem. But what worked for the thread starter and other people, i.e. the clearing of cache and data of the "Download Manager" doesn't work for me. Probably because the cache/data clearing is not actually executed. So that might be something to look into further. See point two above. My replies in that thread haven't been responded too, unfortunately.
I'm aware that the cleanest solution is probably a factory reset from the recovery menu. However that would mean data loss of photos and app data, that haven't been backed up. My main goal is to get the phone into a state that a recovery/syncing of that data can be done. After, I don't mind doing a factory reset.
Any help is greatly appreciated!
Kind regards,

Hello,
this problem still could not be resolved unfortunately Does anybody have any idea why the "clean cache" doesn't appear to have any effect?
Cheers,

Not too familiar with Alcatel as they aren't popular around where I live... I would think that there's an option to wipe cache in recovery however. If that doesn't help, I would try to quickly toggle airplane mode to stop the download process so you can backup what you need.
Hello es0tericcha0s,
thanks for your reply. The problem seems not to be related to Alcatel specifically. See Google Text-to-Speech Won't Stop Downloading for other brands of Android smartphones that had the same issue. Unfortunately, what helped others, i.e. clearing the cache, does absolutely nothing in my case I also already tried clearing the cache partition in the recovery menu. Disabling wifi is another thing I tried to no avail. The download manager still starts installing or trying to download the voice data and crashes. Any other suggestions?
Cheers,
eXistenZ_69
Are you rooted by any chance? What's going on with the Download Manager shouldn't affect your ability to backup your photos at least when you plug it into a computer. If you aren't rooted, you might look into trying to do an adb backup if your phone supports it. http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2091047&highlight=4+4
No, the phone is not rooted. Never did any modifications of that sort.
I tried connecting to the pc before, but it's not possible to browse the phone content. The crashing services I mentioned in my first post are probably interfering. I will try it again on another pc... Will an adb backup work in that case? Or is it possible to do an adb backup without booting android fully?
Cheers,
eXistenZ_69
So I tried again plugging the phone into a computer. The computer plays the connection sound and shows the phone when clicking on the "Safely disconnect USB device" in the task bar, but unfortunately it's not possible to browse the phone contents using the file explorer :crying: There is a slowly moving progress bar shown in the file explorer location bar and eventually it just stops and nothing happens.
I couldn't try the ADB backup tool in the thread you suggested cause the site is down. It most likely won't work anyway given the fact that the USB connection cannot be established successfully.
*sigh* I'm starting to think I'm out of options. It's just so frustrating to know that the images and contact data are present on the device, but there is no practical way to get to them. I could do a reset to factory settings and hope to recover any images using a tool like Recuva, but that would definitely endanger them.
eXistenZ_69
Only other thing I could think of would be to root and hopefully you could freeze/disable the Download Manager in time before the crash to be able to recover stuff.
Adb still might work even though MTP isn't. Just have to hurry through the settings to enable it. If you don't have adb on your computer search : Minimal ADB and Fastboot here on xda.
Hello es0tericcha0s,
Today I had a major breakthrough. Using ADB I successfully copied over the /sdcard directory contents on the phone. This means all pictures have been recovered!! So happy about that Thank you so much for your help! :highfive: It didn't work right away after installing minimal adb & fastboot though, my phone was not listed when doing "adb devices". I then installed some software from Alcatel called "One Touch Center", which is used for managing phonebook, sms, ringtones, etc... that was not able to connect to the phone either. However I think it installed some driver, because after ADB was able to connect to the phone :good:
I'm currently trying to figure out how to root the phone so I can delete the download manager cache/data. From what I've read by now is that those should be present somewhere under /data/data/ . Those directories require root privileges unfortunately. I tried Kingo Root which lists the phone as supported, but that failed to acquire root.
Would be great to succeed in fixing the crash loop too, so I can sync contacts and other data too.
Thanks again!

Hi;
Problem is related to the Google search (both Widget and the one in the browser inside Android).
Recently, attempting do search anything in Google search Widget resulted in strange exit from it to the main Android screen. It just closes itself without any error message.
Android version is 5.1.
Later, few steps were done to fix the issue. First, data and cache deleted at application management. It did not fix the issue. Then, software factory reset, did not fix it. And attempt with hardware factory reset did not fix it. Google search Widget just disappears every time anything is being entered there (again, both Widget and in Browser).
More precise, after factory reset, Google search (initial, factory version) works, then immediately after autoupdate (connection to Internet to new version it stops working again.
It is happening on Meizu, OS Flyme, Android 5.1.
There may be some conflict related to Google Search, newer version and OS, that version.
Have to ask if anybody experienced similar issues - is there a possibility to resolve it? Thank you.
