Sorry if this has already been covered in another forum.
My wifi on the samsung mesmerize is not working properly, 3G works just fine. I try and go online from my wifi connection it says server problem, if I go to my wifi settings it says it's connected. Help would be much appreciated, I have a very fast internet and would like to take advantage of it, especially considering my psu just blew on the pc! I have pulled 10 mbs on this phone using wifi before. Haven't installed a new app that would prevent anything with the wifi that I'm aware of, just wiped my phone the other day, saturday actually. Again any help would be great.

We're going to need to know what you're currently running.
As far as I know, no one is having issues with Wi-fi on either 2.1 or 2.2
My wifi sometimes won't turn on and I have to reboot to fix it, try that?

Yea if that don't fix it try pulling the battery.
Although since the phone is telling you i'ts connected I'm now thinking this is probably app related...(which a reinstall or reflash may correct)
I also have wifi issues with my fascinate, running froyo. I turn wifi on, and it works until the phone sleeps. Then at some point (seem to be a different amount of time each time) I lose my connection to the net. It still says the wifi is connected (wifi symbol at the top). But if I attempt to use google talk, or pull up a web page I do not have access to the internet. If i turn wifi off, and then right back on, all is well (until the next time it sleeps).
There is an app called wifi keep alive. If i check all the options on that app it helps. I see the issue far less often, but it still happens, and using this app my battery life suffers a little.
First, I'm not too familiar with how ODIN works, so I'm a n00b to Samsung Galaxy S stuff. I'm used to HTC and LG. This is my fiancee's phone.
She has lost data connection. Rebooting, reregistering, turning airplane mode on/off doesn't make it come back. WIFI turns on and all that good stuff.
Here's what's currently running on her phone:
Firmware version: 2.2.1
Baseband version: T959VUVKB5
Kernel version: 2.6.32.9
Build number: FROYO.VUVKB5
Yes she has root. What would I need to do to get this back? If it involves flashing another ROM (been thinking about getting her on Gingerbread) than that's ok I'll just need pointed to a good guide for Galaxy S n00bs.
Thanks in advance for the help.
I'm also not sure if she has clockwork flashed or not. The phone was purchased used and was already rooted.
First go into settings > wireless and networks >mobile networks > and make sure packet data is on, if it is, go into access point names hit the menu key and click reset to default.
Make sure network mode is set to gsm/wcdma (auto mode) if not try switching between the other two options and see if that helps.
If none of that works:
You can try to Odin different modems.
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1192436
Try the KD1 modem first and see if she can connect.
I tried the settings already. No luck with those. I will read up on ODIN and try flashing those modems. Thanks.
Might just take the plunge and flash Gingerbread for her, but she hates restoring apps and stuff. lol
I tried that modem. Same issue. Any other suggestions? I'm open for any other ideas. Nothing has changed on the phone. No new ROM, no weird apps. Same geographic area.
I'm at a loss right now. I've never had this problem on any of my phones so I've never had to troublshoot/repair something like this before.

Are you sure your APN settings are correct? for some odd reason, I had to manually set the APN's for my carrier.
Try disabling wifi, as it won't get data connection otherwise. Then go to settings, wireless and network, mobile networks and then Access Points Names.
See if the carriers APN are all set correctly. Should be t-mobile's unless it's an unlocked phone with another carrier.
are you sure that the imei's fine? or is it a generic imei?
i know this situation all to well, my efs folder got f***** and i had a back up on my sd card but as luck would have it my sd card was wiped. and ever since then i could never get a signal on the phone.
so make sure its not that issue because honeslty if it is theres not a thing that you can do about it.

I "lost" my data connection last week and spent hours on odin... N It turns out that I just forgot to pay my bill... I felt like such an idiot =P
Hey I appreciate any help provided. I went ahead and followed droidstyle's guide to rooting and then flashing a custom rom to my 16GB S3. I believe that I followed the steps correctly but experienced some boot loops after installing CWM and before flashing Bean's Custom Stock Rom. Eventually I was able get the device booted and everything worked great except that my 4G was not working. 3G was working properly. I then applied the most recent OTA modem thinking that this could remedy the problem without success. I ejected SIM, powered on the device without the SIM, powered off, and then repowered with SIM seated. Still no 4G. After, I figured that I'd try going back to bloated 4.0.4 but this did not fix the problem. It's also worth mentioning that while I was flashing back and fourth that I was unable to backup using Nandroid. A message indicating that a backup could not be saved was displayed. I read in another thread that formatting the internal SD should fix the problem but I'm a little worried that I may much something up (again) while doing so.
I'd really appreciate the help.
Thanks!

I have had essentially the same problem. I have added the phone info app, which really hasn't worked too much better, except that I can lock it into LTE only. When I put it on LTE/CDMA/EDVO it has 3G, but will never automatically switch to 4G. I have to put the phone into LTE only, so that it will pick it up. I did notice today that when in LTE only mode, I can't make any phone calls, text, etc and get a message about my service provider being unavailable. Has anyone else had this issue?
Just give it some time eventually will switch to lte if you have lte coverage in your area

I have given it days !! I was thinking Verizon was having LTE issues, but I have been in multiple towns, all with LTE and I don't have any LTE, unless I force it manually; problem is I don't have anything BUT data, because LTE only mode for some reason makes me only have data.
Is it normal to have data only, when in LTE only mode ???
I have been considering going back to unrooted and doing a factory wipe, but with the lack of being positive it will fix the issue, I hate to do that work. Any suggestions will be appreciated.

Sent from my Galaxy S III
After a couple days of incredibly fast CM10, my S3 has decided to revert back to it's old ways. I'm not entirely sure what caused the issue the first time around nor do I have a clue what caused it this time. Also, I do not know what allowed me to begin receiving 4G/3G when this happened originally. I have my proper IMEI/MEID. I've tried booting the phone without SIM, shutting down, reinserting SIM with no luck. I've used Phone Info to try switching my network type with no luck. I've cleared cache in recovery (Haven't cleared Davlik). I've applied the pre-release modem from the most recent modem. Nothing seems to be working. Everything was working just about flawlessly for the last couple of days. I suppose that I'm at a loss. I've backed up my efs using adb... The next logical step is to reflash CM10 and see if that provides any difference. If that doesn't work I will go back to Bloated and move back into CM10.
I've been looking for something unique for the better part of 4 hours. Do you guys have any ideas?
I really do appreciate any help!

Hey, I appreciate the response. I've tried entering in that number multiple times but its not yielding anything but 2 rings and the Verizon "lady" telling me that the call cannot be completed as dialed. I've seen this exact reply in about 5 other threads. I'm digging for sure. I'm going to go ahead and try Synergy since users are reporting a more reliable data connection.

No problem, I copied titanium from my other phone and restored all his games. Had no idea it had theme choser, gonna go play with some of my themes now
How do I get TWRP on this? I tried the ICS one from the TWRP Installer thread but that didn't work. Installing via Goo Manager is not an option without a network (No compatible Sim).
Just fyi the data even using 2g is giving me random reboots. Otherwise this Rom is freaking fast and smooth. I can't wait till it gains enough stability to run as a daily driver.

I had some reboots without ever inserting a SIM, mostly while restoring apps from SD via titanium pro, so it might not be just data related.

Awesome update on 4g data, Erikmm! I get to experience JB now. I can hold on to the S3 upgrade for another year. Slim JB on our phone is almost as snappy as JB on S3. If we can fix the wifi, it would be perfecto.
P.s. The small font and icons actually made the phone's screen looked bigger. Feels like I am having an S3.

sweet! i will have to pick this phone back up and use it again.....
Here's something that may go for dev-bug, but...
I wiped my phone and applied the SlimBean R2 installer as well as the SlimGApps. Full factory reset, all that fun. So hopefully no remnants causing these symptoms:
Yesterday I ran Waze (driving/mapping app) on my SlimBean for ~45 minutes without ever getting a GPS lock. Rebooted, tried again for another 30 minutes. No GPS connection.
The GPS Status app says that it's not seeing any satellites at all... so apparently my GPS isn't even trying, as my phone with ICS normally sees 10-12 satellites here. After testing with GPS Status, reflashed SlimBean, reflashed SlimGApps, checked GPS Status again. Still not a single satellite seen. Recovery, flashed YAGF2.zip (Yet Another GPS Fix 2), system, GPS Status, still nothing.
I should probably note that the cell location has been working... Waze was giving guesses as to where I was currently located based on my cell towers. Obviously Wifi location isn't working without Wifi, so the question I have is... are other people using JB actually having GPS satellite locks, or is this another current JB bug? I ask because OP doesn't mention GPS issues, though people reported reboots when GPS tries to take effect. The only GPS thing I did before was making sure that Internal GPS was actually set as the GPS source in Location services, since that wasn't checked... Internal GPS was the only option, but it wasn't checked.
If you need logs or something, let me know what you'd like. Thanks.

Our phone is infamous for its horrible GPS, try this GPS patch and see what happens, http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1963915
Already had that downloaded. Let's give it a shot, and...
Reboot to recovery, flashing agps.patch.google.build.nossl.twrp.v3.1.zip, reboot to system, GPS Status sees...
Nothing. Still just "Looking for GPS location..." with no Compass (heading stays at 0 degrees) or satellites seen.
One more thing. I know it's been noted that the phone audio only works through the speaker, but music also only comes out through the speaker. At least, plugging into the headphone jack didn't make MortPlayer Audio Books actually come out through the car's sound system, it was still coming out of the speaker.

Read the notes if it doesn't work, let the GPS stay on. Try other methods on the notes.
Note 4:
This works with ANY ROM unless the ROM has aGPS and/or GPS disabled in the code. This happens with CMx nightlies and some betas! I cannot fix this, neither can you.
Click to expand...
Click to collapse
So... as I'm asking, has anyone actually confirmed that GPS (not location services, but GPS itself) is enabled and working? The build.prop tweak that it suggests (Note 13) doesn't appear to apply, since neither this nor ICS (AOKPm6r5) have the ro.ril.def.agps.mode forced.
Also, note that as I said before, I've let GPS Status or Waze run for going on an hour without it seeing a single satellite... GPS is NOT ENABLED on my JB. Just like Wifi, except it's marked as 'on'. I'm wondering if this is my phone hating life and needing to offer up some logs, or if this is a standard issue. -_-
That being said, when I turned off GPS and just used cell location, I had my first random reboot on second location services call (Yelp's location check). After it finished rebooting, told it to start trying to use GPS again and it went back to just guessing wildly as to my location based on cell towers without ever using GPS (GPS Status never showed in the notification bar, no little coda to signify GPS lock attempt), but also without the reboots, so that was nice.
I recently flashed a ROM I wasn't a huge fan of, and therefore restored back to stock Sense 6 using a Nandroid Backup I created shortly before. The problem is that now my data is excruciatingly slow (in places where before I had great 4G service), and occasionally I get no data at all (even though my status bar lists me as on 4G). When I go into my device's data settings, it lists that data is on, but disconnected (something I have not seen before). At first I thought perhaps it might have to do with my WiFi being on on, but I can reciprocate the above issues with it off, so I am a bit perplexed. Could this have something to do with my kernel, or is it something else entirely? Has anyone had this issue before/found a fix for it?
EDIT: I would have posted this in the original ROM's thread, but since I am not entirely sure what is to blame for all of this, I thought it best to ask in the Q&A's forum.

As I understand, you have the Google edition. I had the same problem. It is an easy fix:
1 go to phone app and dial *#*#4636#*#*
2 click on phone information
3 under preferred network type select LTE/GSM/CDMA auto
4 wait for signal bars to show up and you're done.
Hope it helped.

You may temporarily lose root. Since you are s-off once done you can simply flash back your custom recovery and reroot

You don't even need to boot into recovery to do it. On the screen before recovery (boot loader) there is a factory reset option.

Lol that was quick. Data problems are back... It seems that after extended periods of time, my mobile data status will switch to “Disconnected" and it takes either a reset of my APN's or toggling the network mode (Global to LTE, and vice versa) for it to reconnect.
I am thinking it might have something to do with the “Sleep Mode" option in Power settings, I will report back after some testing.

Actually I did, and nothing changed (around 10 minutes after I activated it, the same thing happened). Anyyyyyyyyyways I had a nice little chat with a HTC Support Representative, and she actually brought up a good point: my data issues were most likely stemming from an installed app. To verify, I ended up running my phone in Safeboot mode (it disables all 3rd party apps) all day and sure enough, I had no issues with my WiFi to Mobile Data hand off. I began brainstorming which apps could possibly affect something such as my data connection, and really only one came to mind... GravityBox. At about 6 PM today I disabled it, and so far have not had any issues. I plan on keeping it disabled for another full day just to verify, but if all runs smoothly, I will permanently delete it (I was really only using it for volume button media control anyways).

Hey Sevenix! I actually posted this in another forum but it seems things have slowed there over the past few days. I just wanted to put it here because my problem sounds somewhat similar to yours (though I'm not getting ANY data), and I just wanted to know if you had figured it out. I would have no idea what app it would be on my phone, being even more of a beginner than you said you were.
Other post below:
Hi all,
Incredibly new to this, but I've followed many a video/guide all day to convert my m8 from verizon to t-mobile. Despite the fact that most stuff is working, here's the mystery. I have no data (H+, LTE, anything), despite "mobile data" being on. Quick summary of what I did:
T-mobile sim card in-->downloaded weaksauce and SuperSu, confirmed rooting with root checker and boot menu---->Got s-off using adb bundle and firewater (mac)------>changed super cid to "11111111" via tutorial----->Unlocked, S-off, and Cid to all 1's confirmed via bootloader---------->downloaded flashify and booted TWRP via recovery image------>installed android revolution HD 5.0 and followed it up with the extra kernel you guys posted (wifi did not work before that kernel added, as expected).
Details now:
--wifi works
--Only seeing bars on top menu for call/text reception, no indication of internet/data connectivity.
--Phone seems to think that "mobile data" is turned off, despite it being clicked on (i.e. Chrome says "Offline--turn on data or wifi", Green news scroll HTC sense thing (drawing a blank here, sorry) seems to think it's off, too)
--Receiving calls and texts ok, despite being close to fringe of network (In Erie, PA), but I drove to the center of downtown too just to make sure it wasn't that. Calls clear, messages go through quick when in good area.
--Under settings, Mobile data clicked "on" but underneath Mobile data it just says "disconnected". Tried on/off, reboots, airplane mode on/off.
--Reinstalled the kernel a few times using a few different frequencies, no difference.
---Under Settings---->About-->Network---->Mobile Network type switches appropriately between Edge and LTE despite where I am in town, but still no actual data being....transmitted?.....to phone (i.e. can't work internet, check email, etc). "Service state" is "in service". "Operator--T-mobile"
EDIT:-----When I try to open SuperSu now, it tells me "There is no SU binary installed, and SuperSU cannot install it. This is a problem! If you just upgrade to android 4.3 you need to manually re-root, consult the relevant forums for your device!" I figure this is probably a key details, but being such a beginner I'm having trouble translating this. Does it just want me to delete weaksauce and SuperSu and reinstall them again?
I'm new to this, so I'm probably just missing something here, but it seems a bit strange considering how to the T I followed most of the tutorials out there. Anyone have any idea/suggestions?
Thanks!

I don't know if I will be of much help, as I have never flashed my phone to another network provider.
Anywaaaays, I assume that the Verizon M8 supports all T-Mobile frequencies? Was your phone able to connect to and transmit data prior to all your flashing? Have you tried flashing any other ROMs besides Android Revolution HD 5.0 on T-Mobile's network? From your provided information, this might just be issues with that particular ROM; I would suggest you try ViperOne, perhaps ACR, or any other compatible close-to-stock ROM. I cannot recommend anything more then this, as what you are trying to do is beyond my knowledge of this phone.
My data issues were likely related to a combination of an Xposed module not meshing well with my Sense ROM, and a faulty SIM card; your's seem to be much deeper. I suggest you get in contact with whatever member was responsible for discovering how to make your Verizon M8 compatible with T-Mobile, and continue troubleshooting with them.

Ahhhh, good thought. I'll try out a different ROM later today. I already posted that summary on the thread of the OP of the tutorial, so hopefully he'll get back to me.
Thanks for the help!
