Wifi disabled Froyo.. - Captivate General

Any clue how to fix this annoying crap? Once it's disabled it refuses to let me do anything with wifi. And it feels like theres no way to fix it. I've tried reflashing Cognition froyo to it twice and still disabled. PLEASE someone help me fix this annoying problem.

Try flashing back to stock and see if it works. What all are you restoring aster you flash? Restoring system info can cause problems between roms/kernels.

Restoring nothing actually. My brother just got a captivate and as soon as I flash it does this. It works fine on Eclair. Just not on Froyo. It did it on my captivate but all I did was flash a new release of Cogyo and it hasn't messed up since.

I'm having the same issue but it's only with APs that are using WPA. Open or WEP is ok.

Figured it out. It only does it when you scan. Just go to Add Wifi network and put the same SSID in thats on the scan and change the network settings to whatever the SSID is on and put in the password and it works

Glad you got it to work but that still seems strange that you have to go through all that.

Wireless tether 3.1

I use the wireless tether 3.1 and after a couple minutes i get booted off. My settings are fascinate on first drop down which is what everyone said it should be and the second dropdown i had it set on master and auto but neither seem to help. Any ideas or solutions. I thought about trying opengarden but its a adhoc only, but if you dont get booted on it maybe thats a solution.

Restart your phone? 420, hell yeahhh. If that doesnt work, id use history cleaner and wipe your cache. Or boot into recovery, if THAT doesnt work. Id do a wipe.
Lol '420' ill try them things

Lmao, sounds good man. Let me know.
You prolly just have to uninstall the old version of WT
No Dice. I tried all suggested solutions. Plus I tried other older versions of it and got the same message. I would think someone has figured this out. If someone has working wifi tether please package and pm me.
blarick did you try it to see if it worked. I think your after the same things I am.

Open garden is adhoc only. Certain devices wont run on that. I need to be able to set up an infrastructure. V3.1 offers that but is not reliable. There are other ones too but my phone says that there is not enough space. The wierd part is that i have way plenty of space. Thats where im at now.

I have 3.1 working fine on the ep1f leak. Here are my settings. Profile Fascinate, Method Softap for samsung. changed the channel to 4 or 5 your choice really. If there is a wireless router nearby on channel 1(which most are factory set at) you will get interference. Also try this I had to do it on my wife's phone. Uninstall wt reboot then reintall. Let the phone get completely up(media scanning and everything). Then try and run wt again. I've gotten 3.1 to work on a bunch of phones. Hoope that helps.
Hey man, sorry to hear nothings worked out... Sad to say but why dont you try to mount your SD card, make a new folder on your desktop and back up everything on your SD. Go under my computer, right click the disk and format it. Do an odin restore to ED1, keep it stock. Let it update to EE4, then flash an EE4 Odin rom that gives you root, such as this one. http://www.androphiles.com/files/android/EE4deodx_DXC.tar.rar then your kernel and rom. I mean, I know you probably dont want to hear this kind of answer but if nothing else has worked then this might be your only option. As for getting infastructure working, I saw a thread on it. Ill post it once I find it. PM if it worked.
Edit: I link that I found says to download the newest tether, which obviously you are having problems with... So give it a try again after you do a full wipe.

Wi-Fi issues still present after the Gingerbread update:-(

Wi-Fi issues remain after the Gingerbread update...:-(
When I connect to a wireless network and try to stream or upload something my phone starts to lag. Now I cannot connect to a Wi-Fi network and have to reboot my phone. This is the exact behavior before the update...nothing has been fixed in this release ... I sure hope LG fixes the issues before T-Mobile pushes the OTA.

I had wifi problems.....until I switched to cynogenmod.
I was about to get a sensation, but cannot consider giving up the benifits of cynogenmod. The additional features it adds, although small, all add up to a much better user experience, not to mention that it fixes the phone.

Which security type are you using on your WIFI? Maybe it's an issue with that specific protocol. Try changing the protocol back and forth for test purposes. It's possible it's one of the newer types of security and they really just aren't aware of a problem yet.
Also double check the firmware for your device. I understand that you say you've had it on other wifi and other devices work fine on your wifi, but I've had XBox's and computers that had problems with the firmware I was running but other devices worked fine.
I had the same stuttering problems as you using wifi with stock Froyo. The phone was close to unusable when streaming or downloading anything. Most of the time if wouldn't even switch from 4G to wif which was more annoyingi. With the gingerbread update wifi has dramatically improved and the switching is well under 10secs. Cm7 or anything based on it never worked for my wifi network sadly.
I have this very same problem. Turning on wifi I would still see the 4G icon and data activity. This has got to be so annoying after upgrading to gingerbread. Also now I have a new issue with the browser. This is issue is when the screen locks then unlocks the browser would automatically go back to the previous page. I mean why so many issues with this phone?

Removing Tethering Manager file. Risks??

I had stumbled across a post stating that you can remove the file Tetheringmanager 1.03.26 you can tether on the Infuse. I decided to try it out but instead of removing, I froze it. It worked flawlessly. Only problem is that I'm scared AT&T is going to see it that way haha. I've been tethering using Wifi Tether and it work great but I ran into a few issues, but that's another thread lol. I guess what I'm trying to see is if there is anything bad about freezing the app.
Thanks

Basically every alternate ROM (Bionix, Infused 1.x, Refuse) removed this APK. No problems at all.
Ok so when I was tethering on my Inspire via the Leedroid rom it did this also?

No clue how the Inspire works in regards to tethering.
I know that native Android tethering works great without any bigbrotherware on all of the non-stock ROMs available for it.
Well, wifi tethering at least - for USB tethering, there's a bunch of flaky crap in the Samsung kernels because of Samsung's stupid NIH (Not Invented Here) attitude.
Ok cool so if I freeze that file I'm good to go with the native tethering?

Dropping wifi

For some reason my wifes infuse always drops wifi. I tried a new router, three new roms,four new phone modems to nothing. My xperia arc can keep wifi all day. I am aware of the wifi issue but this doesn't make sense. Any help would be great.

Try Going to wifi settings and press the menu button, click advanced and set the wifi sleep policy to never.

What are you running? Stock or custom rom?
Sent from my SAMSUNG-SGH-I997 using Tapatalk
On stock 2.3.6 I had no issues with wifi dropping, but when I switched to a several custom ROMs, wifi would connect and disconnect every minute or so. I figured it wasn't my router, because it worked perfectly prior to flashing a custom ROM. It was driving me crazy, and I read through every post I could find and finally found a solution that worked for me. I still don't know why it works, but it does.
I had my router configured to assign static IP addresses for each device based on MAC address. The DHCP reservation expiration was always set to Never for each device. As I said, this worked fine for stock 2.3.6 (and also for Froyo previously). When I flashed either Zeus or Numas, the wifi drop and connect loop would start immediately. I changed the DHCP reservation expiration to something other than Never and to my surprise, wifi stayed connected.
So if your router is filtering by MAC address OR if you are not using a static IP connection on your phone's network settings, it might be worth a try, worked for me. I am currently running Zeus 5.2 and wifi is staying connected.
Wifi dropping due to custom rom flashing is not due to custom rom.
It is due to improper wiping.
A thoroughly clean wipe to make sure there is no residue of previous ROM will solve your wifi issues.
lol..I think I've posted about this just about in every thread at one point or another.
Look around
I have tried every rom on this site...never had a wifi problem dropping or connecting....wait I did once ...cuz I didn't toggle my wifi connection.... lol
But honestly stock or custom...always connections stable and stong...I do reboot both modem & wireless router from time to time....IMO refreshes the signals...
Now Apn...that's a different topic...I keep apn backup for that on file...
Sent from my Infuse'd with Aeon v1.1 all Blacked & Chromed out!
Actually, on Zeus my wifi drops all the time. Not when I'm using it... that never happens. But whenever it locks, it drops almost everytime... I don't know for when, or how long, but after I turn my phone back on, then it starts to reconnect... It kind of sucks.. the data at my house is... very.. EH.. 1 bar of 3.5g kind of... But.. it does ALWAYS stay connected. So there.

fwiw, wifi drop is prob from "unclean" flash.
prior to flash, wipe and format system/data/cache.

Try the usual reboot router, update firmware if possible. You could also try selecting 2.4Ghz or 5Ghz in your phone's advanced WiFi settings.

Me too
For the record, I am having this exact same problem. I have a Nexus 4 running an unrooted stock ROM.
i have this too
Hi guys. Im just wondering if any of you have a solution to this. I have the exact same problem. I actually reset my modem/router and snapchat worked for a couple minutes until it stopped again. Somethings is really weird.
Thanks for reply.
HTML:
In my case, the snapchat stoped working after I downloaded an app called Savemysnaps. Apparently, snapchat now blocks my IP adress. I just installed an app Hotspot shield VPN and snapchat works again on my wifi
