Hi,
After rooting and installing a custom rom and kernel, on my desire x, I found that my WiFi stops working.
It shows connected, but I cannot get any data transferred. The sync icon is shown in the status bar.
I have tried replacing the kernel and restored a nandroid backup of the stock rom, but still, these issue persists.
The only thing that helps when the issue occurs is turning off WiFi and then turning it on again.
I hope someone can help me fixing this problem.
Thanks Robert

WIFI was working fine. but randomly it has stopped working. Saying "Error" where it should be "connected" is there any settings i can mess with? or default reset?
Are you on a custom rom / kernel? I had this error shortly after flashing one of the senseless roms a few days ago. As soon as i turned on WIFI it said ERROR. Think i was rectified in a later update since then....

Logcat usually shows a bit more detail than the WiFi screen in Settings. If you're able to grab the logcat details around when you turn on WiFi, it might show more helpful output which can make troubleshooting easier.
The majority of WiFi error issues posted on this forum relate to the mismatch between kernel and modules. Wouldn't hurt to reload the kernel and its associated module to eliminate that as a possibility.
Hope that helps!

its the kernal you will have to change it and your wifi will work again
Hi, I finally decided to post my question after many hours searching trough google and xda.
Two weeks ago like many of you I uptdated my x10 to pre-rooted 2.3.3 stock Rom. At this moment I successfully tested wifi hotspot and usb tethering built in fonctions.
But Recently I tried to use it again but any time I checked the option, Android activate it for a second, an then says me "error" under the option name. Usb tehter can't be reactived at all and wifi hotspot can be checked but always uncheck himslef with the error subtitle.
Anyone facing this issue or know where it can come from ? And maybe the fix of course ^^.
Hope I made my self clear because actually I'm french.

I use Baracle to solve the issue with wifi tethering
https://market.android.com/details?id=net.szym.barnacle&feature=search_result
Yeah this is the solution I used to adopte when was on 2.1. And it was the best until the update.
But as far as what I tested when built-in tether worked it's clearly better. Not just an Ah-hod network but a real hotspot. Basically it's easier for other devices to connect and remember the password without configuring everything especially on windows.
And the usb option was even better, nothing to configure, no password, battery charging during tethering.
Anyway thank for the advice, until I get the solution I'll probably continue to use this app.
When you say "solve the problem with wifi tethering", do you mean you have the same one ?

Please, no one else, am I the only one facing the issue ? Even on an other device maybe ?
Finally I used SEUS to repare and root it like azazu said. Everything is back. Didn't find any other solution

I have the same problem and it never has been working from the start ! but USB tethering has no problem. The only way to fix it is to re-flash ?
Well I guess this is the best until someone more expert than us find a solution. I made a reparation with SEUS (sony ericsson update service) and then restore all back with Titanium Backup. Remember to save your contacts and sms before (cause Titanium doesn't). It only took one hours to get it all back just like before (root, bravia, Xloud, fps uncap...)
Hotspot error UNSOLVED 2012-02-01
Here's what I've done so far. I've suffered from this issue on two different Samsung Galaxy TAB's 7" (1 generation), two different Samsung Galaxy S2, two different HTC Desire HD, one ZTE Blade.
This issue is NOT caused by:
*Manufacture of phone
*Internet Service Provider (ISP)
*Operator
*Bluetooth ON/OFF
*root ON/OFF
*Stock Kernel
*Mod Kernel
*Stock Rom
*Mod Rom
*Stock Modem
*Mod Modem
*Android version: 2.3+ has this issue. (I've experienced a different issue on 4.0+; the Hotspot is up running although no device can connect to it.)
The only solution I've found is:
(From Clockwork Recovery):
Wipe Data(system reset)
Wipe Cache
Wipe Dalvik
Format Cache
Format Data
Format System
-Install a Rom (try a different one from what you are using right now).
Reboot
RESULT:
Hotspot working fine....for a while..
When it stops working; you'll have to do the steps above again. Install a different ROM, now you probably can return to your previously ROM which had this issue first. It will probably work. If it doesn't, switch ROM till you find one that works. Sometimes, total randomly; you will be able to use ROMS which this issue has been present earlier.
Yet, this is NOT a permanent solution. You will, no exceptions, experience this issue, on whatever ROM, modem, kernel, stock, not stock, phone, whatever, whatever you choose.
Here's one scenario which I couldn't figure out:
Galaxy TAB 7" 1st generation.
Android 2.3.4
*HOTSPOT ERROR*
WIPE/FORMAT
RE-Flashed Same Rom
*HOTSPOT WORKING*
1 hour later
*HOTSPOT ERROR*
WIPE/FORMAT
RE-Flashed Same Rom
*HOTSPOT WORKING*
5-10 minutes later
*HOTSPOT ERROR*
WIPE/FORMAT
RE-Flashed Same Rom
*HOTSPOT ERROR*
?????
I've also noticed that USB tethering is affected by this issue aswell.
If you have it working, congratulations! Use it while it lasts, nothing stays forever.

Ok so I installed Rezound Maister Sense4 GSM ROM and everything worked fine except I have no Wifi and USB connection wont prompt neither take action as to connect to my computer or ect.
Could anyone help me out please, I have tried a lot of kernels and nothing, they are either too old or wont fix the Wifi Issue, I have wiped and re flashed over 20 times by now and nothing, problem still occurs, I have even locked and unlocked boot loader over and over. Also flashed Wifi Module and no luck, did not solve the issue.
Could somoene provide me with a kernel that would work perfectly with this ROM? or show me how to extract the kernel from this rom? I'm on S-ON with ICS firmware.
If anyone helps I would really appreciate it. if not I will simply move from this ROM. Thanks
Nvm people, solved the issue a little early.
I recently installed a new Custom Rom "TheBrainsRom" on the SSpeed Kernel v3 on my Xperia U. All was fine until i tried to turn on the Tethering. It shows that it is tethering but then it doesnt broadcast. At times, the Status Bar also gives a force close issue.
My question is that is there anyone else going through this problem? Is there anyone who could tell me if this is usually to do with the Kernel or ROM handles such functions independently. What could i do in order to avoid having to reflash the device.
A Quick Update to bump this thread as well as to add some info.
I re-flashed the kernel and it dint help. The issue still persists. I guess it is something to do with the ROM? Any info that would lead to a solution would be highly appreciated.
Hello Everyone,
During the process of getting IP address from WiFi network, I received a "Error Massage" on my Alcatel OT-990. After this massage, WiFi started behaving abnormally. Sometimes it turned ON another time it did not. Now after a few weeks later, WiFi is not turning ON at all.
I have Tried following Solutions but nothing worked:
1. Did factory reset, erased system, cache etc and Flashed different ROMs (JB ot 990, ICS QME, QLTsar, 2.3.4, Telenor One touch 4.0.04) using Recovery many a times(From different Sources).>>Problem not solved
2. Updated my phone using alcatel update manager to 2.3.4>>> Problem not solved
3. Tried by changing permissions of BCM4329.KO, wpa_supplicant.confg etc every file related to wifi/wlan>>Problem not solved
4. Used WiFix Manager>>>Problem not solved.
Bluetooth and FM radio working all right.
If anybody knows about its solution ..please help me out.
