I have been using win 6.5 on a kaiser (att tilt) for the last 2 weeks and have been battling problems with Wifi.
The problem is that after a soft reset, when I go to wireless lan settings and click on the "Change Network" button, I don't get a list of wireless networks. Wifi is turned on, and I do have many valid SSIDs nearby to link to.
Image 1) This is the Wlan Setting screen

Image 2) This is what I see from "Change Network".
Notice that the tabs along the bottom of the screen are missing
I originally tried using WIFI Monster and a couple other programs to find networks and link. They could show networks but couldn't seem to get an IP address.
Finally I tried assigning a static IP address and *POOF* all the problems went away, even when I went back to getting a DHCP address.
Image 3) This is the screen you get from pressing "Edit" on Image 2
Image 4) I enter an IP address (doesn't matter what it is).
I press "OK" twice.
Image 5) This is now what pressing "Change Network" takes me to
I can now select networks, link, and browse via WiFi.
WIFI Monster and others now work correctly as well.
Image 6) This is the same as Image 2 after setting an static IP and returning to DHCP
Things I've tried to fix the problem
I've tried clearing all wlan settings but a soft reset repeats the problem
I have tried 5 different radios and they all show the same problem so I don't think it's radio related
I've tried 4 different WM 6.5 roms with cores 21232, 21234, and 21812. All seem to have the same problem.
I've used Task manager to look at running EXEs, Services, and Devices before and after fixing the problem, but I see nothing added or removed.
I've spent several hours trying different search variations on these boards looking for similar problems, but either my search skills suck, or no one is describing the problem with the same terms I'm using.
If I can't find a solution to the soft reset issue, it isn't a huge deal because I have a work around, it's just annoying. And I thought others might want to know the work around I'm using.
I finally figured out what was causing the problem.
Sprite Terminator
If I never install Sprite Terminator, or if I uninstall Sprite Terminator, then I never see this problem. I made sure I had the latest version of Sprite Terminator v1.2.
Thanks for sharing your experience. Worked for me as well I had exactly the same problem.Sprite Terminator 1.2.0 Build 186. After returning to DHCP all is working fine!
THANKS!
OK not everything is as it should be. The change to static IP and then back to DHCP will get me fixed only for as long as I do not reset/powerdown the device. After that the procedure has to be repeated to get it working again.
Finally..
Thankyou so much !! I done hard reset my i780 for many times for this problem, patch new wifi driver, and give up to explore registry ..and finally..I can smile again
LOL
COOL i have this same problem and it worked for me, but only one problem e dont have sprite terminator installed, at least i think not.
Anyone noticed with another programs?
At least i can get the wifi working, at least until i do a soft reset ,thank you for sharing
I have a similar problem, only that the Wi-Fi works, but not showing the correct icon on the worksheet in the Home screen .. somebody has the same problem? Ask! Please write directly to the address: [email protected]
Thank...

I am looking for something similar to what Hitchhicker is supposed to do, but without the Hitchhiker's problems on WM6. For me, it was completely unreliable, left tons of connection settings behind in the registry etc etc.
All i want is an ability to find a public/open WiFi network with internet access and connect to it in a single tap.
Any ideas ?
I use WeFi- Free and works like charm. Also can start programms after it connected.
I start Palringo (Free multi Messanger)
I read about WeFi here, the reason i never tried it was this:
VanGog said:
Same thing as with the previous version.
It scrambled my wifi settings I had to make a hard reset (Asus P535, WM6).

Can you tell me what particular version seems to work on Polaris ?
Thanks in advance.
EDIT: i am currently backing up to try the latest version myself, will report here later today
First report about WeFi:
It seems to erase all your normal (WZC) WiFi settings without asking, including the WEP/WPA keys. And KEEP ERASING those every start.
It would not connect to my own home WiFi (secured, WPA2+PSK, AES) despite having correct the key entered in it's dialog.
After manually connecting using the normal utility, while WeFi still running in the background, it "tested" the hostspot, and found it to have internet connectivity. After that, it reported 1 user being connected on that hot spot (me) ! What this means is, it certainly tells some of the hotspot details (SSID) to it's server. The question is, would it also share the key with every other user on the planet ? If it would, this would be completely unacceptable !!!
One positive thing about it, somehow, it managed to reconfigure the WZC on Polaris to connect to any open hotspot available (good for me), even when the program isn't running (no, i didn't forget to shut it's today plugin down). This is probably some registry setting unknown to us. I'll try fishing it out and report.
EDIT: sorry, my mistake, it didn't really reconfigure WZC, it got some processes installed, running at the background, that i missed :-(​
Just in case someone may want to know this, the part of WeFi that seems to do the "auto-connect to any open network" thing, but not the internet connectivity probing, is the WeFiSrv.exe, that seems to require Comm.DLL, Engine.dll, Hessian.dll, OpenNETCF.dll, Prot.DLL, Util.dll and Win.dll to run
as well.
EDIT: WeFiSrv.exe seems to be responsible for deleting the existing "normal" WiFi settings too. As well as responsible for eating a big chunk of RAM while running.
EDIT2: same app also responsible for screwing up the settings
Conclusion: unless you are going to connect to unprotected WiFi hotspots ONLY, this program, or any parts of it, isn't really an option.
Any other suggestions ?
Device: Atom Life from Mwg running stock wm6 rom
since a few days ago every time i turn the wifi on and go into to select networks i dont get that screen anymore. like my home wifi works cuz it has the password. but i cant connect to other networks :S
This might have something to do with me deleting the profiles for wifi networks i dont use anymore. Thats the last time i saw the profiles screen.
i did this due to my ppc connecting on its own to a wifi when antena was off ..more like a pc wifi signal and that annoyed me so i poked around and deleted the profile of that network and others from past.
since then i cannot see even the wifi icon in the top bar all i see is the <-> arrows but with out the antenna in the background i.e <-I->
nor can i find that page where i deleted the network profiles from :S
where is it ?? i think it comes on only when the <-I-> is present.
is this a symptom of something?
u see i do not get this:

Still cannot connect to tother wifi's , with wefi not even my own :S lol
( might as well ask what backup software i should look into that will back up the rom as well since i feel i should go 6.1, or point me into the right direction for a tutorial to extract my own rom )
Update: uninstalled wefi.
icons back to before state. good.

band switch

Hi
For the last two days i had a lot of issues with the G_Apps, everythings worked perfectly since before yesterdar, then:
> I couldn't enter in GTALK;
> the market purchases didn't download;
> new email didn't notify me neither appear...
I was trying to reconnect and reconnect... searched some possible solutions (wipe cache, clear data...) but nothing worked.
I had, all the time, internet over wifi, and i could go the the browser without issue in the navigation...
I realise then that the WIFI icon were not Blue (as usual) but Grey (see screenshot, some kind of limitations??) i don't know...
Today i did two HARD RESETS, with the first one it worked during sometime (the icon return to blue status) but i couldn't get into the market in the TF (but in my computer i could buy and was installed in my TF)... however sometime after the issue reappeared...
NOW: Grey icon, internet in the browser, no internet on the Gtalk, market, Gmail, Dropbox...
what should i do?

Blue WiFi bars mean that you're connected both to the Internet and Google services (e.g. Gmail), grey is just Internet - hence your lack of Gmail connectivity despite normal web browsing working (although it's odd that Dropbox also doesn't work in this scenario). Could you please provide some more info on your particular setup? Is your TF rooted (and if so what ROM/kernel are you running) or are you running on the same stuff you had in the box?
Suddenly having similar issues today. Bought the device last week and had no problems. Suddenly today no mail sync and market not working properly. I always get the message that i need to login in order to authenticate although I am logged in. Cant download anything. Hope it's an issue on Googles side. Having stock Rom and no changes.

Hi
Thank you.
My TF is not rooted and the ROM is the in the box oficial Asus Rom...
Sent from my X10i using XDA App
I had this issue with my Transformer. I think it's the same one anyway.
If you can open Gmail, does your inbox show you having messeges, but the messeges not appear? If you then go to All Mail, are they there? For me they were, but tapped to open, they wouldn't display.
I'm sorry to say, only a factory reset fixed this issue for me. First appeared about two weeks after purchase, after the reset it's been just over a week and still going ok for me.
suddenly, it works...
i went out for a few hours and when i'd come back, the Gapps worked... the wifi icon is now blue again and it seems that everything is fine...
i didn't make a backup so now i must reinstall all apps due the previous hard resets...
Anybody else having trouble with the WiFi not turning back on after waking from sleep? I'm using the "Only when plugged in" option for "Keep Wi-Fi on during sleep" to conserve power.
What I'm seeing is when I am connected to a WiFi network and then lock the phone long enough for the WiFi to turn off, the WiFi will say it's on in the settings menu but won't show any available networks even if I hit "Scan". The only way to reestablish the connection is to toggle the WiFi on and off.
I've disabled Smart Actions because I thought that was interfering but it didn't help. I've also booted into Safe mode with the same problem.
My router is a Linksys WRT54GS. The settings are: SSID broadcasting, WPA2 Personal (AES), G-only.
I've attached before lock and after wake screenshots to show what I'm seeing.

I kind of see the same thing. Wi-Fi works fine until I leave the range of the router (e.g.leave the house to go to the store). Upon my return I see the same thing your screen shot shows. Turning off wi-fi and turning it back on solves the problem No other phone I've ever owned has ever done this.
I've tried auto connect, leave it on and off during sleep, reset the router and nothing has had any effect.
So it's not just me. I wonder if this is present on all phones or if we just got a bad batch.
EDIT: Well... for some odd reason the WiFi came back on from a sleep just now. I don't remember changing anything other than installing the 4.2 camera and changing the build.prop to a Galaxy Nexus. I shall investigate further.
EDIT 2: Could this perhaps be an ICS issue? (I came from a DROID X with GB) I ask because a GSIII in our house seems to be doing the same thing.
Not sure. My GS III will connect automatically without fail. I just got home with the Razr Maxx HD and had to go through the off and on routine to make it connect. I had the GS III last evening and it reconnected as usual once I got home.
There's an extensive thread on the Moto support forum where everyone is complaining about the wifi signal dropping randomly when connected. You are the only other person I've seen with our issue.
I haven't played with the GSIII extensively so it might have been a fluke that it did that.
I did see that thread but the Motorola support site has been loading very slowly on my end so I haven't been able to look through the whole thing due to my impatience with it.
Something's definitely wrong with the site. There's a thread for that as well LOL.
Hello everyone,
I purchased a used google pixel from eBay about a month ago, and I have used it happily ever since, until this past saturday. I use my device with 2 bluetooth devices constantly, a medical device (dexcom) that connects every 5 minutes, and a raspberry pi, which is always connected via bluetooth tethering. I had very reliable connections to both devices 24/7, until suddenly I started getting the message: 'Bluetooth keeps stopping.'

}
whenever this happened, it would turn off bluetooth tethering and then turn off bluetooth altogether. I would try to press the bluetooth icon to turn it back on, but it would aggressively turn it back off again. After several frustrating minutes, it would sometimes go back to normal and work just fine for 2 minutes-8 hours. But this error started appearing more and more often, to the point that my devices became useless, because they were never connected to my phone for a reasonable amount of time (and even then only because I was manually turning bluetooth back on over and over.)
I...
tried changing the dexcom app settings
tried forgetting dexcom device then re-pairing
tried turning off bluetooth tethering
tried turning off the raspberry pi
tried clearing the bluetooth cache
tried clearing bluetooth data
tried restarting the device more times than I can count
nothing at all worked. per the suggestion of one of my developer friends, I ran adb tools on my computer to see what was going on in the HCI bluetooth logs. According to what he said, it looks like it is trying to connect to Bluetooth headset service, failing, crashing, and disconnecting from all bluetooth devices. We decided to eliminate all variables, it would be best to factory reset the device and carefully install only my important medical apps first, then slowly any other apps over a period of days to see if the culprit became obvious.
So I performed a factory reset. I logged into my wifi, then was about to log into google, when...
the same message, popping up constantly, after a factory reset!
at this point I was almost convinced it was a hardware problem, until I heard some others have had the same issue due to their android version. But I have used 9.0 Pie ever since I got the phone, so that still doesn't make sense to me.
Please let me know if you have any solutions, ideas, or suggestions. If you want more screenshots, more information, or anything like that then please ask and I will try to post it. Thank you.
edit: since I am a new user, the image links aren't working. Basically, they both say
'Bluetooth keeps stopping
(i) App info
(x) Close app
(!) Send feedback'
edit 2: I also tried rebooting in safe mode, still getting the same 'bluetooth has stopped' message
I'm having the same exact problem on my daughters phone
Guys, I had this problem, I found the "solution" to the floating bluetooth error message, but I can't activate it since it starts to fail again.
What I did was the following: activate and deactivate the bluetooh from the notification panel, waiting for at least 5 notifications of bluetooth error to come out, then blocked the cell phone for a few minutes and I can use it quietly. By the way, you should not restart it or turn it off or it will fail again.
I was also having the problem. I tried everything. Still not right.
You have to report the issue to LineageOS GitLab issues. Apparently dozens of users are having the bluetooth issue with latest version LineageOS 16.0 but now with older versions.
I'm having the same problem with my Pixel phone as well. Has anyone figured out away to stop the error yet? Is it software that could be fixed by reverting back to an old version of Android. Mine started right after updating to Android 10. Any ROMS that eliminate the problem? I'd be happy with just being able to turn off Bluetooth so that I don't get the error.
Try flashing stock rom again, in case some weird bluetooth driver need to be installed on some hidden partition.
