I have a Samsung Galaxy Rugby Pro and I changed the rom to Cyanogenmod 10.1 everything seems to work find but the WiFi.
When I try to turn the wifi on it says turning on wifi that the button slides back to off and the wifi doesn't come on.
Is there a fix for the wifi to come on?
Like a zip or something?
Can anyone help I'm out of data.

I replied to your question in the other thread.
But just in case -
Had a similar problem, just a few days back. Here is what I did -

Basically wipe EVERYTHING(data,system,dalvik,cache) and try again...
Also do you have correct Radio/Baseband/Modem?
Can you connect to any 2G/3G/4G network? Try that too!
If not, find a Radio that is compatible with your device AND the CM version and install.

I've been having issues with wifi on my tab. I visit a friends house and it won't pick up the wifi. My phone picks it up fine, laptops pick it up ect. I stand AT the router and still it doesn't pick it up.
I thought it was a 1 off but it started happening at work too. The only differenceis that is WAS working fine at work, now won't pick it up. And now I have the same issue at my parents.
Does anyone else have this issue? Does anyone know a fix?
Cheers
Try wifi sleep policy and play with the options. Mine was set to "Never" and I was having random problems. Now set to "when screen turns off", and I never lose connection, screen on or off... On the other hand your problem may be different.
/reviveThread
Can't be sleep policy as it picks up other wireless networks fine.
I was just living with this issue until it lost my Home Wifi! Now thats gone I have to turn Hotspot on my phone, which I shouldn't have to do.
I thought it might be a problem with the ROM, so I've tried Task's GalaxyTask v5.0 and I still have the same issue. Might try flashing Stock and seeing if I get the same issue.
This is doing my head in now!
I flashed 3.2 Stock (rooted) and it picked up the missing Wifi connections. The rom is full of hebrew with silly boot and shutdown animations though. Tried flashing several custom 3.2 ROMS other than that and same issue as before.
Also, added connection manually and stood next to the Wifi antenna at work. Still got nothing. WTH is going on?
I read somewhere that Galaxy tab is not able to connect to some channels of wifi.
I believe it was not working with channels above 11
Try changing the channel and check
Thanks for the reply.
My home network is on channel 3. Plus it doesn't really explain how it can work 1 sec then totally disapear forever. Also doesn't explain how it works with the stock hebrew ROM but not with any others I've tried.
Just trying to find the wireless details for work now so I can change the channel anyway.
Then go with the Hebrew Rom and select English as language

I'd rather have no Wifi than see that nasty looking shutdown animation.
Anyway, problem seems to be semi resolved now.
Changed my wireless from channel 2 to 12, still didn't show. Back to 2, still didn't show. Changed it to 10 and it magically appeared.
Not sure what the work one is on. Still waiting for access.
Hi all!
I have an international version of the S3 with a weird problem.
When I have Wifi connected my phone can't sign in to Google talk and wont receive notifications. I can browse and download stuff though.
If i switch to 3G all is well and working. I have tested on different networks and I have a galaxy tab 10.1 connected to the same wifi without problems so it's no ports in the firewall that's causing it.
If I restart the phone it works for about a day then it fails again and I have to restart the phone to get G-talk over wifi.
I have tried setting the phone a static IP, switched "Keep wifi on during sleep" on and off, tried the trick with power saving in debug menu but nothing helps.
Has anyone experienced the same and can someone maybe suggest a fix?
Best regards
Erik
I have tried IM+ and that works perfectly over wifi. The problem is that since GTalk does not work over wifi then I don't get notifications from Google Play or other apps as well. When i switch over to 3G I get all notifications at once.

There is nothing wrong with your phone. Google are having problems at the moment:

So don't go do any impact testing or aerodynamic analysis of your phone, it should all come back to life soon

The problem is that it have been this way since I got the phone, not just yesterday.
Hi,
I did some extensive searching and couldn't find the answer to this, but I can't imagine I'm the only one with the problem. I flashed the 10/24 nightly build of CyanogenMod yesterday and was disappointed to find out that wifi would not turn on. I installed the latest nightly this morning (which seems to have fixed a bunch of other stuff) and wifi is still not working. Any thoughts? Am I just in a waiting pattern until it is fixed by the builds, or is there some step or hidden setting I need to change?
Thanks!
Sam
the wifi itself wont turn on? or it wont connect to a SSID?

Thanks for your reply. The wifi itself won't turn on. When I open the settings and toggle it on, it looks like it's about to because it goes a little darker, but then when I go to the Settings page for wifi it is just stuck on "Turning wifi on..." so I can't even see any SSIDs to connect to. Other behavior that is potentially peculiar:
The region setting is Europe by default, though even when changing it to U.S. it still doesn't work.
MAC Address is "Unavailable". I would have thought that unlike IP address, the device should know its own MAC address without needing to be online. Could this be the culprit, and if so, how do I resolve it?
Screenshot of the Wifi Settings Page
I have attached a screenshot of what the wifi settings panel looks like. Note the toggle is stuck at off, but the wifi is still trying to turn on. It has been this way for about an hour now.
link me to the 10/24 and 10/26 build you mentioned.

Sorry, I'm new so I can't post links. But I've attached a screenshot of the page with URL that I used to download the nightlies.
Fixed!
This is now fixed. It was suggested on a G+ thread to wipe everything completely again and start fresh making sure to delete the cache and such. Doing this worked and I now have wifi!
Thanks so much for your help!
sweet! glad its working for you.
i was thinking you flashed the wrong thing because you said 10/24 build. thats why i asked for the link to what you flashed. anyway, enjoy the rom. take care
I've only owned my Omate Truesmart for one day and the WiFi decided to give it up. I turned the wifi off once today and as soon as I tried to turn the WiFi back on it would not work. Whenever I touch the button to activate WiFi it lights up blue for a second and it then stops. Tried it several times today and nothing different. When I try to get into the wifi settings from the "Wireless & Networks" I'm greeted by a blank screen too.
So far I'm considering if it's a software issue I might try to return it to the stock firmware with this guide. However I'm waiting until I get some input from other people. I don't have cellular data access because I don't have a sim card in it. Any help is appreciated.
So what not stock firmware are you running? BTW both BT and wifi hang on stock firmware. You need to disable quickboot and reboot.
Question. What is wrong with my flashing guide so I can fix it.
Oh nothing wrong with the guide. I haven't used it yet. I'm on the stock firmware. How do I disable the quickboot?
Settings/System/Accessability, it;s the last option.

I got my Omate today and am having trouble with Wifi. If I turn wifi on it crashes the phone and cuaes it to completely power off. It will run for as long as I like with airplane mode on and will not crash if I turn bluetooth on. I found this suggestion and turned quickboot off and rebooted. Still the same behavior with wifi. Has anyone else reported this? Any suggestions?
I'm running firmware 20140120
I have a weak wifi signal on my Omate. Unless I'm right next to the router I can't pick up a wifi signal with the watch. Is there anything that I can do about this?
Sounds like the wifi antenna connector came lose. Contact Omate and get it replaced. The only other option is to disassemble it and reseat the connector.
Hey guys, I've had this problem ever since android 4.3, had it on 4.4.2, and after trying liquidsmooth's 4.4.4, the problem still exists. Wifi keeps dropping to LTE, and if I try to toggle wifi back on, the toggle switch "hangs" for a moment on the "on" switch while greyed out, and then automatically switches back to the "off" switch. Only after some time passes, sometimes taking several days, does the wifi randomly switch back on. Does anybody else have had to deal with this problem? And how were you able to resolve it? Thanks in advance

Hmm sounds like a Rom problem. Does anyone else installing Liquid Smooth have that issue? You should post in the Rom's thread and ask..If so you know your answer..
Another thing you can try is swapping some system files.. Post back here if no one else has the issue..

Sounds like you haven't flashed the MJ9 firmware. It can be found here http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2578458

Thanks guys I went back to 4.1.2 and reflashed my way up through 4.3 to 4.4.2 to cm11. Hopefully this will clear up my Wi-Fi issue, will report back if the toggling issue persists

*never mind, wifi dropped within an hour of installing cm11 4.4.4. Any suggestions would be much appreciated.
- to Acez71: I flashed MJ9 firmware, still no go
- to lacoursiere18: The problem still exists on CM11, I'm beginning to think the problem isn't ROM specific
Update: it seems my issue was hardware related, specifically the two gold contacts inside the cover and the two points on the back of the phone weren't making good contact. After cleaning the points and securing the cover firmly my WiFi issues seem to have disappeared for now. So if any of you are having similar issues, make sure to check the WiFi antenna contacts on the back of the phone
