wtf?? I flashed to 2.1 global generic today, and everything has been fine, then suddenly all my market downloads started hanging on "starting download" (for free downloads) or "authorizing purchase" (for something I bought, before noticing the problem).
So I done some looking around for solutions and one of the solutions on devices that have had this in the past was to enable wifi, try downloading from the market, disable wifi, should be fine.
But when I tried enabling wifi it failed, and come up with a message "unable to scan for networks". the wifi setting then defaulted back to dissabled, automatically. wtf, i know there are wifi networks around, im in my room, on my PC, USING my wifi network which my phone was connected to previously.
Im stumped and need help
oh also worth noting, wifi has worked since updating to 2.1, and i have barely touched the device, done nothing major anyway (i.e. all I have done is stuff like adding widgets to desktop, nothing root based) since it was working.
Exactly the same for me mate. It initially worked, but now just displays the same message as you get.
Rebooted, removed battery, nothing has helped.
Happened to me too, after updating to 2.1.
I did a factory reset, that seemed to have solved the issue.
But it is really weird and hope it doesn't happen again.
yeah.... in the end after a lot of looking around I just recided to use SEUS to "repair" (reset) it, and so far that has worked a treat, plus the market is a lot more responsive now,
but it's quite a serious issue on google's part, as it's not just X10s that are getting this. Anyhoo, just out of curiosity if you've received this message, what version of the 2.1 firmware are you running, nordic, global, etc?

I also found that restoring WiFi access points from 1.6 using Titanium can give you this exact problem, so be careful people!
*sent from my X10i
I fixed mine by removing stored wifi settings. I assume titanium backup did it.
"Unable to scan networks"
I too have the same issue, idk when it exactly stopped working but I do know that I flashed it earlier that day with the 2.1.1 f/w. I am not sure but could the config. file be edited or the extension for it be renamed to fix the issue?
I ran across this post, and found the fix posted on this page. I had to change the wpa_supplicant.conf file extension to .bak

I had the same problem. I installed the software from the sony erikcon website to my computer, and then followed the process for updating the phone software. That did not work, since I had the latest software already. So then, I tried to REPAIR my phone software, and after that was done, my phone was functional again, and the wifi works without any problems.
Requirements:
* A PC connected to the Internet (preferably broadband)
* USB phone-to-PC connection. Please see the accessories compatibility list for your phone.
1.Run the software on the computer after it is installed.
2. Follow the procedure for UPDATE or REPAIR (if you already have the latest version).
I have read thru a few threads, but they all vary so I am not sure if this is the same issue so i apologize in advance if there is a thread with an answer somewhere...I certainly hope it is not a hardware issue!!...ugh..
I recently flashed Nottach's ROM to my Atrix 4G (excellent ROM!) and was in the process of loading apps and "fine tuning" it to my style and preference when I noticed that my WiFi, Bluetooh and Data are no longer working. I didnt install anything other than a couple of apps that I have been using (GoLauncher, ADW Locker, etc.) so I am not sure why everything stopped working.
I can still make and receive calls and text messages, but I am unable to connect to WiFi ( it sees WiFi signals but it doesnt get past "Obatining IP Address"). Bluetooh enables and disables right away. And I dont see any activity from the Data icon.
I have tried reflashing the ROM, Factory Reset, Wiping Partition/Dalvik, Resetting Permissions, etc. but none of these seem to have an effect on the issue.
I have seen other posts in various forums where some one mentions similar issues and they talk about flashing the antenna via RSD to get it to work, but links to the antenna ROM all seem to be broken.
Any help in getting this resolved would be GREATLY appreciated!
FYI - My phone is Unlocked and I believe it is still Rooted.
Thanks!
Well.. after playing around with reinstalling the ROM I set the Kernal back to Stock AT&T and everything appears to be working again.
So I think the fact that I was using the Faux 1.3Ghz kernal may have caused the issue, which is odd since everything was working fine for about a day before the problem started happening.
Oh well.. i will play around with different kernals to see if there may be a compatability issue some where.
Hopefully this info helps others.
Howdy,
I'm having problems with NFC I have not been able to solve with hours of googling and thought someone may have run into the same issues before. I am trying to program an NFC tag, but my phone doesn't detect the tag or my Nexus 7 tablet (which detects the tags just fine). I'm running the latest Venom ROM and also just did a Factory Reset and reflashed the ROM to no avail. I tried taking off my case, cleaning the contacts on the back cover, holding the tag all around the camera where the hardware is supposed to be and I don't get anything. I have one of the special NFC-enabled SIMs as well, not that that should matter as I haven't tried the ISIS app yet. The tags are NTAG203s. Anyone ever run into something like this?
Just chiming in and letting you know that I have had NFC issues with the Verizon version since the KitKat update...

Glad I'm not the only one, thanks for your reply... out of curiosity are you running stock? I neglected to mention I'm running a Viper ROM but I'm sure there would be more complaints if there was an issue with the ROM.
Fixed!
Hate to respond so late but I figured I would just in case it helps someone-- turned out to be an 1D10T error. I was able to locate a setting in the Viper ROM settings that I was unaware of (Viper Tweaks App --> Misc --> NFC Restrictions). I switched the option to no restrictions and I can now use my NFC tags. Just a tap and I connect to the guest WiFi at work and launch my VPN
Oops never saw your response. Was all stock. I'm about to sell the device. Resetting and will test one last time.
So during the last few days I've been unable to make any phone calls, and I don't understand what's actually wrong. There's nothing wrong with either the microphone nor the speakers, as they work in other apps. The problem is that I don't hear other people and they don't hear me I don't appear to have connection problems either since other apps work as usual, with or without wifi. I'm running the Concept 4.0 rom.
It's possible that it might be some sort of water damage because I dropped it in snow the other day but that seems unlikely.
So far I've tried:
-wiping and re-installing the rom
-wiping and installing the Poison rom
-formatting and re-installing
-tried installing without fast dormancy
-restoring back to old backups, where there was no problem, using TWRP
-I tried my SIM-card on an older smartphone and there was no problem.
So does it seem like some sort of hardware failure or some software bug?
Edit: As of now, the phone works however, I've yet to discover why it didn't work in the first place. If you know anything I'm still interested.
Edit 2: So it's been nearly a month since I posted and I'm writing this because I want other people who might have the same problem to be able to fix it. The problem with alot of the roms for the F5121 is that they lack options for controlling exactly which networks to operate on. The fix for this is to enter the "hidden" menus by entering *#*#4636#*#* in the dialer, from there you can fine tune alot of the settings.
On Mobile network settings > Prefered network type.
If you force LTE only and go to a location with no LTE, you won't be able to call also people won't be able to call you.
Hi,
All of a sudden I'm having issues while using wifi connecting to some apps but not others. When I turn off wifi those same apps load properly, one of the apps that this occurs on is the reddit app itself. Thinking that I had some issue with my phone I've already performed a factory reset. Once I got everything set back up, I'm still having the same issue. Up until now I've never had this issue on my phone before. Has this happened to anyone else, and if so what did you do to fix the issue ? I'm currently running android version 9 on my model # H931. Thanks for any help provided.
