There have been loads of Posts about Android WiFi switching itself off, affecting various devices. The scenario is that the WiFi switches off spontaneously after previously working OK. Try to switch it back on, and it will switch off again after about 10 seconds.
I have tried ALL the suggestions posted in various forums but regrettably the only solution so far has been to reinstall the device Firmware.
This has happened to me twice now, so I'm trying to find a solution before it happens again which does not involve a Firmware reinstall, with the associated aggro of reinstalling Apps and setting everything up again.
SURELY there must be a method of re-initialising the WiFi via ADB or the Terminal Emulator, or something similar !
The machine in question is a Dropad A8 tablet, originally running Android 2.3 and now Android 3.0 Honeycomb. Like I said before, this has happened with both Firmwares, now on two (total) occasions.
Over to you, boffins !:good:

Thanks for your reply.
The problem arose again yesterday evening, thankfully after I had downloaded + installed fxr wifi, plus another similar app.
Sadly neither worked, so I was stuck with doing yet another firmware install. This time I chose Android 2.3 (Genesis 3 ROM v2.1.1) which is the same as we run on another identical tablet here, and has never given problems. (Previous firmware was Android 3.0, Genesis 3)
The reinstall went OK and the WiFi started to work again ...
Any more ideas ?
Hi, I'm having a curious problem with my S3 and I've been unable to solve it. I watched the "noob" video and tried searching these forums as well as a google search with various combinations of the wording for my problem. Nothing matching my issue turned up, I hope I didn't miss anything.
I recently bought a S3 second hand (yes, i know, i should have known better). It was rooted and running some kind of custom ROM when I first turned it on, but I was willing to deal with it until I double checked the procedure for getting it back to stock and starting again myself (nothing against the original rooting and flashing, just like to know exactly what I'm running).
When I purchased the phone I obviously checked that all of the main things worked - calling, texts, mobile data, wi-fi etc. I get home and connect to my home wi-fi and start checking things out and setting stuff up. The phone randomly rebooted. I carry on after the reboot and about 10 mins later, another restart.
To cut a long story short, there is something wrong with the wi-fi. If I turn off wi-fi in the settings menu and reboot, everything works great. No crashes, no reboots. If however I enable the wi-fi about 50% of the time it will crash while wi-fi is activating. The other 50% of the time, it will crash as it goes into the screen lock (either via timeout or pressing the button).
I've re-flashed to it's stock version of Android (using the 'Samsung GS3 Toolkit and Odin), same problem. Anyone got any ideas?
Thanks in advance
You can try updating the modem and RIL to the right version for your country, search in general forum. If it still reboots then try with another wifi source - I've seen some routers cause problems on client machines.
If you do a factory reset when you flash the modem, plus you have the latest stock ROM on board, then any remaining problems are probably hardware.
Test it fully after the factory reset, before you add any apps etc.

After much experimentation and flashing of various files to my phone I have further narrowed the problem. I've still not solved it, but getting closer I feel.
After a clean ROM flash it works like a charm regardless of how much i use the wifi etc. It's only after the first reboot that the trouble starts. It will begin randomly restarting. If I perform a factory reset from recovery mode, it works again, but starts resetting again after a reboot.
Any ideas?
Hi all,
I've been happily following the progression of ROM developments, since I got my P7510 (P4WIFI) and sampling a variety of ROM's up through the versions of Android. I recently upgraded to a 4.3 ROM and developed a problem...I could connect to wifi as always, but could not get internet access (wifi connected, but no browsing, play store, weather apps, etc.).
I worked my way back through a number of recovery backups, knowing that in all of them I didn't have this problem, but it remained.
In desperation, I unrooted and returned to stock and the problem was still there! I found a .pit file for the 7510, re-partitioned, formatted the partitions and reloaded the stock ROM...still no change.
Can anyone point me to a solution? I've googled myself stoopid on this one...
Cheers,
PF.

Try to toggle airplane mode on then off..not sure if it will work on our tabs...but it works on my epic 4g touch..this is just a work around though.
What stock did you return to...
I'll look around and see what I can find...
My first thought was it's a router issue. I've had the same thing happen to me and in the end all that was needed was a router reboot.

Thanks for the suggestion. I tried the airplane mode on/off, but it didn't help.
The stock version I'm on is Build number IMM76D.XWMPF (P7510XWMPF_P7510XSAMP1_HOME.tar.md5)... I believe the correct one for my country...? Not sure if that's a red herring, though. The problem occurred going from 4.2 to 4.3 and has stuck with every restore and rebuild I've tried since.

Tried the router reboot, no dice. Also tried connecting to different WAPs and the problem remains. I tried connecting to my SGS4 as a portable hotspot, which was working fine previously...identical problem...

AFAIK not all drivers can be modified because they are not all open source , i guess your tablet is chinease and very cheap , maybe it is just a hardware issue , do you have the same problem when you try to connect to another router (in a public place , your friend's....)? , since when did you start having this problem i mean did you already manage to connect to that same router with your tablet while being farther than 5 meters? and are your other devices connecting without problems to your router ?

AFAIK the only way to be sure if it is a software (android?) or a hardware issue is to reset your device after backing up everything (nandroid backup if rooted or something else), if the problem is still present after reseting your device i am 90% sure it is a hardware issue , in this last case you can go to your manufacturer support center or send them your device to repare it , if your device is still under wanrenty it might be free of charge , if it is a software issue , resseting your device should solve the issue but you will lose your data (if you backed up your apps on your sd or on the cloud it will be easy to get them back) , to reset your device if you are rooted (after backing up everything) go to your custom recovery (twrp , clockworkmod...) and then go to factory reset (or something like that :silly: ) and select the only "yes" option that you will see in the screen , if you are not rooted (stock rom) you normally will find an option for resetting on system settings/personal/backup and reset (i am on cm9 it might be different for you but just look for reset option in settings you might be asked for your gmail account to be sure you are the owner of the device) , normally resetting is a natural process but i am not responsible for any damage that might happen to your device (be careful with cwm and BACK UP everything)
Guys maybe you can help me, my phone is behaving very strange. It is a Tianhe H920+ with 4gb ROM, identical with Mlais MX58 Pro, Auxus Nuclea N1 and others.
Roms for Auxus Nuclea N1 are working perfectly, but, first of all i have problems with the rear camera, i am not getting any error messages, but just only the front camera is working and the switch camera option is missing, after i install some third party camera app it freezes.
Phone was suited with Tianhe ROM, build march 2014, for sure i made backup. What i have found out, when i flash the original BOOT.IMG, camera works fine, but the old kernel will be installed. I have unpacked it, checked also init, init.project files, they are totally the same, no change there, just the Zimage differs / Kernel.
All works fine but i have the old known wake up bug, i must remove the battery and start the phone again. I was searching everywhere, but i couldnt find any fix for it. I know flash firmware, but like i already mentioned rear camera is not working with other kernels, all other functions are ok. Is there any possible solution? Framework fix or something please?
Till now i have tried almost 10-15 roms, from MX58 Pro, Star, Tianhe, but non of them is suited with a kernel with working rear camera :crying:. Thank you very much.
Heyy delltech1.. I've also facing similar issue...have you found any solution to your problem?

Hello DellTech1.
I am facing the same issue with the pnone not waking up after it has gone to deep sleep.
I found out, that it only happens, when WLAN (WIFI) is switched on.
(For tests I had no SIM installed and the phone was reset to factory setup)
When WIFI is switched off it starts up as it should.
Could this issue be related to baseband?
Do you have more informations now?
Additional infos:
It showed, that the wakeup issue occured, when the phone was logged into a Network with WPA2 security.
Because I did not believe this, I did trials on 3 different networks with 3 different routers.
In each case, the phone did not wake up, if WLAN was active and the security settings in the router have been WAP2.
If I changed the settings in the routers to WPA, wake up was fine.
Anyway: an active WLAN connection (either WPA2 or WPA) does not allow the phone to go into Deep Sleep.
(according to CPU SPY at WPA, and my fingers touching the warm back of the phone with WPA2)

Hi,
i have flashed the "new rom" from pandawillforum. But be carefull, after flashing i wasnt able to start the phone, it softbricked the phone, but i was able to unbrick it. Before you will flash it, take the PRELOADER file from a good known working rom and replace it. Then try to flash it, it will work now.
I have used the phone without the simcard, Wifi was enabled, Gmail synchronization also, i have used the phone for about 5 days, wakeup issue didnt reappeared. Camera is working also. Just search in the forum for H920 and you will find many topics, but i can also post the link here:

Like i said, use a good working preloader, you can take it also from an older ROM, doesnt matter.

I have tryed all roms from needrom and pandavile..nothing.
Now I tried the ROM that was offered in the Pandawill Forum for 8GB Version.
This ROM does include a working preloader (maybe has been changed?)
Anyway, when I flash this ROM, it works, but problems persist.
No change.
CWM 8gb ver. ROM
HI guys, Please could some one upload the 8GB rom flashable with CWM recovery I can not do it with flashtools my usb conenctor is damaged...
PLEASE HELP and save my ass I am starting to be despaired with this phone
THANK YOU for any support and have a nice day
Modified version of Note 3 yasuu ROM.
Just for the case that someone do not know how to replace boot.img (kernel 2014) and replace camera drivers I am uploading modified version of Note 3 yasuu ROM.
No flickering screen,No back camera bug or green camera,No unlock freez yet.
Only bad thing is battery usage, maybe because my USB connector is damaged.I do not know try it out and share your results about the baterry please.
LINK (CWM zip file) :
mediafire.com/download/v3n65fltmwka52z/ROM_NOTE3_Kernel_2014_H920+.+Cam.Drivers.HanyxX.zip
Gave it a try.
Installation did work, but I missed keyboard.
Did install keyboard from APK.
Then tried to root. Framaroot said "ok", but Superuser did not work.
Tried to install Superuser by CWM method, but that ended in a startup-loop.
Had to Flash back Stock-ROM to recover.
Maybe try tomorrow again.
OK, Gave it a second try. This time without trying to root.
Well, the wake up issue does not exist anymore.
Unfortunately, it´s just because the phone does not start to Deep Sleep anymore.
It reduces processor rate, but does not start Deep Sleep.
That´s the cause for higher battery consumption.
By the way:
- The package of my phone is not labeled "Tianhe", but "CGC".
- Both cameras did work with this Rom.
- My phone has 8GB of memory and stock ROM is 03/2014

Hello,
I have tried the last modified version of this rom but the camera is not working for me..not frontal one,not the back one..i have tried all roms from needrom(tianhe,mlais or star...)..no one is proper to have working camera...any advice
I did reset my phone with this firmware from Pandawill Forum (8GB version). The firmware is for H920+ that are produced after March 2014.
It seems, that there has been a change of camera hardware.
http://www.pandawillforum.com/showthread.php?25569-ROM-ROM-for-Tianhe-H920&p=136188&viewfull=1#post136188
This seems to be real stock.
If your phone is produced after March, 2014 and this firmware does not solve the problem, there is a high probability that it is defective.
How to find out?
How can i find out what is the date manufacture of my phone?

Hello,
After trying all firmwares from panda and needrom i find that there is a hardware problem. BAD CONNECTION between board and camera conector!
Try to open the phone and press firmly camera connector to the board. Then put above something thick 1 mm (non metal) to hold the connector in same position.
It's worked fine for me. Good luck to you!:good:
