I've been on a quest to find a rom where the wifi works. Every wm6 rom I've used, wifi shows the APs, it connects then disconnects soon after and the AP says unavailable, then it'll work again for a sec then disconnect. I read somewhere that a rom based on build 318 would work and someone gave the XDAr6 rom as a suggestion. Same thing. works fine in every WM5 rom, just none in WM6. Anyone have an idea why? Maybe I'm missing a step to get it working or something?
Hello. Install Battery Status, (I have version 1.04.203.beta4) and it has several tabs, one of which has a checkbox that disables the proxy if WiFi is enabled. I ran into this issue too when i first started playing with new ROMs, and was very frustrated until I found this nifty app, and best of all, it works with all the ROMS I've used. Enjoy, hope it helps.
I don't know why this fixed my Wi-Fi, but it did. I just got this phone a few days ago and I was having trouble since yesterday getting the WLAN to enable. I would click it in Comm Manager and nothing would happen. Something I did broke it.
Of course it still won't connect and says "Unavailable" whenever I try to connect to anything that was just a second ago "Available", but at least it's back to the way it was when I got it.
I just did a soft reset and only ran into this once
Try this when you get a chance...
Go into your registry and change the following settings
HKLM\Comm\TNETWLN1\Params
HTCPreloadStatus = 1
HTCPreloadWifi = 1
This solved my issue I had with Wifi after I reflashed my device a couple times to various WM6 ROMs.
For some reason the HTCPreloadStatus never sticks and always converts back to zero. But I was reading a thread and found this solution and it said to do both reg edits. The fix did work for me so I didn't question it.
Mine says "Available", then I enter the network key, and it says "Connecting" and then changes to "Unavailable". It has done this since I got the phone. Today I unlocked it all and upgraded to the latest T-Mobile ROM, and it still does this. I guess I'll keep going and upgrade to a WM6 ROM, but I'm afraid it still won't work then.
I have the same problem, but I can't find where is this registry. What is this, a file that I have to change or I open it from somewhere else ?
is anybody else noticing issues where apps that use internet crash constantly? E.G. When installing Asphalt 6 it crashes about 30 times which i have to keep resuming saying there was downloading errors. Not to mention i have to wait about 3 minutes after hitting download for apps in the market to actually download? Is anybody else experiencing these issues? Please make yourself known if you are and if somebody has generated a fix for this PLEASE tell me.
[[[[[[SOLUTION]]]]]]]]
Okay so i found out theres a bug with the 3.2 update. At least in my case. Maybe others who just arent aware yet. I hosted tests. I installed asphalt 6 on my 3.2 rooted unlocked setup. the download failed about 30 times intermittently. slowly downloaded entire thing failing and restarting throughout.
Then i removed my root and relocked my device and factory reset it(still on 3.2 just deleted all my data). Posted same test with same results. So then i flashed my device to 3.0 and upgraded to 3.1 DID NOT UPDATE TO 3.2. Did the same test downloading asphalt. It downloaded all 500+mb of data in one run without failing. Aswell as my Gtalk has been sitting for an hour and hasnt logged me off once.
So my conclusion is that 3.2 brings unstable wifi connections and therefor i will stay at 3.1 until a new update is released!!! THANKS!!!!!
Again this may not bother others but if im doing video on talk i hate having to recall every 5 minutes and i hate having to constantly try to redownload files when they fail.

ALSO google talk logs me out every few minutes.
..anybody?
No issues like that to report here. I'm running tiamat rom 2.0 now, but I was running 3.2 stock before and it was fine.
hmm
I think i figured the market part out... I hit download app it says waiting for install. I click on my apps in the top corner then hit back twice then go to the app again and instead of download it says install. REALLY WEIRD market glitch...
Now for Gtalk. Is anybody else having issues where it logs you out ever 5 to 10 minutes saying issues connecting to server?
It would be nice to know im not the only one having issues downloading large files on 3.2 Just so i can know for sure i dont have defective hardware.

I don't think this is related but whenever I have had trouble downloading, I check to see if I have any app updates waiting. They seem to take priority over new downloads.
I notice that too but unfortuneatly this is just when i was downloading 1 large file. I dont know why but for some god awful reason my wifi connection reset like ever 5-10 minutes causing issues for every app that needs internet access. But now on 3.1 its working flawlessly. Along with the benefit of having swype keyboard
I am starting to narrow this bug down, and should be fixesd in the next tiamat rom.
I am using Tiamat 2.01 and am experiencing extreme slowness on anything over wifi. This is on a U.S. wifi only. As I'm typing this there is a several second lag from when I hit the key to the time it displays. What I don't remember is whether it started when I went from Tiamat 1.1 to 2.0 or from 2.0 to 2.01.

Man i really dont think its your fault for this bug. Whenever i upgraded to 3.2 stock alone this issue arises. I guarantee you its the fault of the stock rom. thats when i experience the issue. ive tried updating to just stock 3.2 3 times now from 3.1. 3.1 is always fine. No download issues. It downloads whole files in bulk without failing. But it never fails. Every time i upgrade to 3.2 stock i get failures throughout the large file downloads.
Any news? out of curiosity.
I am sure this was discussed somewhere else, but if you set up the WiFi profile with a static IP this issue goes away. It is definitely a bug in stock 3.2 where DHCP continuously reassigns and IP address every few minutes causing all downloads and GTalk sessions to be disconnected. Now I know static IP addresses are not always possible, but strangly what I found on my stock 3.2 Xoom is that as soon as I had ONE profile setup to use static IP, the other profiles that were setup to use DHCP no longer had this problem. Really strange.
My problem is that everything over wifi was slow with several second lags between the time you hit a key and the time it displayed that character. Even just scrolling on a webpage was excruciatingly slow. Local apps ran fine. I thought I would give your idea a try, so I went into my AT&T U-verse modem and left DHCP enabled for my Xoom's IP address, but I dedicated that address to my Xoom. I then rebooted the Xoom and without making it a static IP address my network speed was very fast.
Hopefully that helps anyone who is having the same issue, but doesn't want to set a static IP address.
anyone make any progress on this yet? I just flashed the 3.2 Tiamat 2.01 ROM, coming from Tiamat 1.1 and am unable to complete the download of themes in thumb keyboard and other apps that allow for in-app downloads. I am assuming that the problem is related to this. Does that sound correct?
My fellow Canadians...
I have noticed a number of issues with the latest official firmware for the Rogers captivate. I think it would be a good idea to put them all in one place and try to start figuring out what common issues exist and perhaps we can address them all at once. Please state the issue, when it seems to happen, and what if any modifications you have made to your software setup. Maybe someone will notice a pattern or trend and we can get them resolved.
Thanks!

One major issue I have noticed is when updating apps through the 3.1.5 market. It seems to only happen when I am updating an app, not when I am installing a new app:
Sorry!
The application TwLauncher(process com.sec.android.app.twlauncher) has stopped unexpectedly. Please try again.
At which point I have to force close it.
Also, I have experienced random shut downs, I will click the power/screen lock button to unlock the phone, and it seems the phone has shut itself off. If you hold down the power button it boots normally.
Anyone else experiencing these issues?

Did you try a factory reset after you updated?
Voice for Swype
The voice command for Swype doesn't work.......
1. Speed dial no longer works. Says 'USSD code running' then closes and gives message 'unknown application'
2. GPS has stopped working completely.
As far as the launcher crashes, I don't use touchwiz. I do use Launcher Pro. It does seem to crash every so often. I've replaced all my widgets because I've read somewhere that this might help.
No random shutdowns here.
I talked to a samsung technical support rep and his captivate's swype voice input didn't work either.

GPS works perfectly on mine captivate 2.3.3 and I get better reception and locking time. But GPS will stop working if you flashed a custom Kernel on it! I know that because I tried it and GPS wasn't working when I had a custom Kernel, had to flash back the stock kernel.
Edit: I just tried Speed dial and it's working perfectly, I think there is something wrong on your phone.

I also don't have any issues with the GPS or Speed Dial. My only mod was rooting with the FUGU kernel.

I hadn't thought of that; I wonder if I'll lose my root? Come to think of it, I wonder if that's causing the launcher crashes...

Got the phone from Rogers with 2.1 then upgraded to 2.2 then to 2.3.3 (all done through Kies. GPS was ok but spotty on 2.1 and much better with Froyo but hoped Gingerbread would bring more improvement.
I've tested it since Rogers released 2.3.3 and on a few occasions I've even gone to the roof of my building on a clear day and waited for 45mins!! and nothing! Not lock then lose it but NOTHING! Speed dial I can live without but I actually use the GPS quite a bit.
Since upgrading I've done a factory reset 4 times and even sent it in for repair, which came back saying "upgraded SW and factory reset" which fixed nothing.
I've just rooted (just root nothing else) and I've tried to do use the gps code but I can't even get into that!!
What can I do at this point?

Yeah, with the 2.3.3 you can't access the gps setting by entering the code, because everything you enter the code *#*#3214789650#*#*, you'll get a message saying "Service mode has crashes blablaba...". The only that I found to bypass that was to go to market and install the app "Anycut" then launch it, select New Shortcut, Activity then choose Angry gps.
I'll look up what's the problem that causing you not to get a good gps signal.

Man I was going nuts trying that gps code. Googled and searched this forum and everything pointed to that code. Was ready to toss my phone off the roof!
Was reading these forums for the past couple weeks learning how to root/flash (just rooted today actually) to get gps working.
I'm guessing I might have to try flashing it again with the stock rom from this thread http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=979133 but gotta do some more reading before attempting it.

I use an app called GPS Status from the market. There, in the menu under 'tools', you can 'manage A-GPS state and wipe the location info the GPS has back to scratch. Then download the assistance data from the internet. This worked well for me and I do it from time to time to keep things current.

How long have you had the phone? The random shut downs is not a ROM issue. I am pretty sure it is a hardware problem. It was acknowledged by Samsung. There is even a list of effected builds. I am sure you could find the build numbers with a little search. I had this problem when I first got the phone last December but had Rogers replace it. If it is the same problem, I think you will notice that the sleep of death only occurs when the battery is like above 85% or somthing like that. It has been a while so I can't exactly remember.
I can't seem to get the firmware actually downloaded. I'm going through kies and it recognizes my phone, and recognizes that I need to upgrade, starts downloading the upgrade and at 12% it disconnects. I have two screen shots here that show what I am talking about.
Any ideas?

Tried this the entire day and still nothing. I know it's kinda cloudy out today but still nothing.
i found 2.3.3 very slow, and poorly built. no voice button in swype PEEVED me off.i was originally making my custom canadian rom off Kh2 (rogers 2.3.3) but i dropped that project and released a canadianized/rogersized KJ3 (2.3.5).
one of the best roms in the dev section. and will be updated by the end of the week with the theming all included. the pic in my sig is a link to the rom if you havent seen EFFIN EH!
Unable to update my Captivate
My captivate is still 2.2 and while connecting to Kies it says this version of the device cannot be updated.
Current version shows PDA: JL1/phone: JL1/CSC: JL1 (xxx).
I had rooted via Super one click and I can see Superuser installed. I havent used it for any purpose.
I removed my external SD card and did factory reset. No luck.

flash to stock 2.3.3 using the link in my signature. YOU NEED BOOTLOADERS coming from 2.2
Hi all,
I have a TMOUS Sensation 4G. I was on stock rom then I switched to OrDroid 9.0, but I'm experiencing the same problems.
1) Whenever I try to "update all" in Google Play under my apps, the first app will download, but the subsequent ones won't. It will just keep on showing "downloading" but doesn't actually download. Canceling the current download sometimes works; the next download would sometimes start. This problem seems to be worse on Wifi, but it happens sometimes with 4G as well.
I tried clearing the app data and cache for Google Play but that didn't seem to help.
2) When I'm on Wifi (especially when I'm at work), the system time just slows; sometimes it can be 6-10 minutes behind the actual time. My setting is always on auto-update time. Anyone know why this happens?
Thanks!
Delete play store, clear cache reboot download again and re try, I never use auto update as I'm the one who decides when and where also if I'm going to update
Changes in permissions I dislike and updates that there are many complaints about don't get in
so as you can see I always allow others to check the updates work for me (like you )
Tbo I've no idea on the wifi time issue, try asetting the time correctly and drop the auto update and see
UPdate - there is a differnt post about the time issue and the reply indicates that it may have something to do with overclocking - if you do that so read the copy paste below it may help
It happened to me when I was using the badass governor, even though I was connected to cell.
Switching to ondemand did the trick for me
Thanks for the reply, johnerz. However, I do not have anything on auto-update. I'll try deleting the Play store and see what happens I guess ... just thought it was weird that the same problem persists even on different roms.
As for the time issue, I'm using ondemand as well so I guess my issue is different?
First of all, let me tell you, I have tried all the available solutions posted on this forum, including:

But none of the solutions works, I have even tried using different ROMS (Stock ROM, CM7, and currently running ARHD for TMOUS 1.2)
I have already tried factory reset, clearing dalvik cache, battery stats using super wipe script.
Basically, My problem description is same as described in the above links,
"my phone would randomly turn off, sometimes it would be while in the middle of a phone call, and sometimes while playing a game. After it would turn off, sometimes it would automatically turn back on and sometimes I would have to hit the power button to turn it back on"
It crashes randomly, (but I am thinking it's not so random, I am thinking it crashes when I try to use any app that uses GPS like Google maps, facebook (checkin), camera(for geo-tagging a photo), etc. So I tried to reproduce this while logging using adb logcat and voila, it happens every time i use google maps for more than half a minute.
I have attached logcat output file, I tried to analyse it a little, but I am no expert in it,
So If someone can have a look at it, it would be really great. Let me know if you need any more details of the ROM/FW/KERNEL/anything else.
I disconnected the phone from PC as soon as it showed white screen with HTC logo, so that you will have a reference point to know when restart actually happened.

Heyyy you are not alone !!!
it seems like i have the exact problem
after i updated maps to the latest version
Whenever i use Maps the phone crashes after sometime and restarts !
I ve been using CM9 and I never had this problem before
If someone knows please help us !
Same here guys, updated Google Maps and when in Google Maps phone crashes! Any solutions anybody?
if it is crashing due to google maps then the problem is indeed because of latest update of google maps (6.10.0) just revert back to the previous version of it ...there is a thread for this check it
EDIT: thread here
Found this on T-Mobile website
http://support.t-mobile.com/docs/DOC-4703
It says,
Symptoms
When using maps or navigation, device crashes or restarts
What happens and why
The newest version of Google Maps currently causes a conflict with the HTC Sensation 4G, which can result in the device software crashing, freezing, or restarting while using Maps or Navigation.
Click to expand...
Click to collapse
So, the solutions is to rollback to Google maps 6.3.0
If you had installed an update from google play, then you can uninstall that update by Settings->APPS->Maps->uninstall updates.
But, if you are using custom ROM like me, (i'm using ARHD latest ROM), you have to download and install the APK,
And here's where you can get the APK to install this version of google maps
http://www.iapktop.com/google-maps-6-3-0.html
You can find out more information and latest update on this issue on google groups, this issue has been identified by google and currently working on a fix:
