Wifi just scans and never connects

I just upgraded to 5.1.1 ...I posted an update http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1008702 to my post but assumed most never saw it....
anyhow....ever since moving to the update my wifi just spins. It recognizes that there are services available but it never gives me an option to connect to them. Any ideas?

after a sleep? or after upgrade to 5.1.1?
I have encountered this issue before on tnt lite 4.2. I simply rebooted it and reset your wireless router. and then no issue to me.
check out this thread if it is after a sleep.

I don't 100% remember but I think that there is a custom kernel to fix/improve the wifi problem? Anyone can confirm it?

There were some issues regarding sleep (mostly failures to wake, causing reboots, and CPU throttle getting stuck on sleep).
However, those on the 5.0 TNTl are stuck with the existing kernel. Not to bash TNT - I've used 4.X and 5.X versions and think its great - just that it's in its own little world as far as kernel and recovery options.

no sleep...just straight after the update. I have searched the forum and done anything that looks like it might work. Reset the router several times, stood within 6" of the router. Re-booted probably 100 times.
I went back and cleared the darvlick cache and did a factory reset. Re-installed 5.1 thinking this might help but from my noob eyes it looks like 5.1.1 is still running (based on the background wallpaper only).
That is the frustrating thing for me...if this happened on my pc I would go get a new driver or reinstall the hardware and I would be back up and running...with Android and ROM I am completely lost.
++UPDATE++
Just checked into the hotel and the wifi works on an open connection. I really don't want to open my home network if can avoid it...typical suburban cul de sac with too many people that would to steal some wifi

[Q] WiFi turning on by itself?

Hi All,
Having a strange issue with my Sensation wheras the WiFi is switching itself on at night.
Normally I will switch it off using the 'power bar' when I go to bed and then switch it back on when I wake up but since the Twitter update (on Orange which seems to have updated my market as well) it comes on by itself. If I turn it off again it stays off.
I know that both nights the phone has been about 7% battery and is in power save mode but this doesn't switch the WiFi off, just the sync. I then press the WiFi off and plug it into the mains.
Any ideas on why this is happeneing and if it is a known bug? Also if there is a way to fix it?
Thanks
Darren

Details??
Is your phone S-OFF?? rooted? If so, which ROM are you using? Please post all the details.

I had this bug twice with ICS, ma battery starts screaming at 21% while it was 80% just 2 hours before,it was wifi that was ON by itself

Hi,
I have the same problem. In my case, I am using ICS4.0.3 on my Telstra HTC Velocity (rooted but stock ROM ).
I think it might be Juice Defender , but I'll confirm that in couple of days time.
I have used it once, and uninstalled it, but I think it might have left behind the settings (network scheduled to be turned on at night to sync).
I installed it again, and by default that option was turned on. I have now turned it off and uninstalled it again.
I shall let you know the outcome soon

i have this issue on my previous ARHD 6.6.0
i tried to flash with different kernel,it wont fix
all i do is flashed to New leedroid 7.3.0 the issue gone.
So i assume is ROM problem.not quite sure about this.

I think it was a problem with a specific base that was used (either in the stock or making the rom),
I had it on IC5.2 I think, but then updated my rom and it went away, it presented itself on all the roms that used that base (I believe) it should be gone now with the updated base that was released. Not sure of the specifics and version numbers, maybe a dev can provide if needed, but the updates shouldn't have that issue anymore

frustrating wifi issue

Ok it started with my first triumph. got it 2 weeks ago lasted all about 3 days and it went dead locked up wouldnt even come on. But whle it was working the stock rom wouldnt connect to wifi no matter what i tried, reset, battery removal, airplane toggle, cleared everything the whole shot. then i installed froycream sandwich and cm7 reloaded and they both worked great the wifi connected no problem. until the phone died.
Enter phone number 2. i had to track down because there werent any anywhere for 100 miles in any direction besides the one i found in a outta the way radio shack. got home the wifi connected right away no problems on stock i thought to myself hmm musta been something wrong woth the first phone from the word go, anyway installed cwm 5.0.2.6, then installed cm7, got all my stuff set up and wifi was working fine. went to bed woke up and went to connect to wifi and nuthing again when you turn wifi on it scanns says connecting and then says disconnected every few mins or so it will try and connect but it just continues to loop. i flashed back to a backup of stock and it connects again. tried froyocream sandwich v1.3 and cm7 reloaded by whysor 3 different builds.

ok so ive been flashing back and forth and and clearing this and that and trying different things , doing things in different order, installing different builds, trying to get it to work.
in between custom roms i decided to restore back to stock and see if it would connect stock again or not. at first it didnt, then i rebooted and tried again and it finally connected...woohoo. i was actually afraid that if i changed anything i would lose functionabilty again. but i flashed froyocream sandwich 1.3 again and cfrossed my fingers and sure enuf it connected when i got all setup. i have successfully used it on and off wifi for the last half hour anyway so ill keep posting my results ive seen a few people have kinda similar probs maybe we can figure it out , im looking through logcat files to see if i can see anything funny but................

I had this problem once before, I had to boot into clockwork go into advanced & wipe dalvik cache, then flash the OC kernel again & all was well. That's if your running CM7 reloaded.

I've run into this issue also

Bad gps on SynergyROM

Hey guys is me again lol. I just flashed the newest SynergyROM update ( 1.7 ) and my gps doesnt show me at the correct location. It keeps moving around my area, mostly 3 to 4 blocks away from me. i didnt mind that however when i go on navigation, the directions are incorrect due to the location being wrong. Is there a fix for this? I did a full wipe before installing just like instruction on the thread and i installed it after going back to stock and rooting.

Have you tried the Synergy thread? A lot has been discussed about GPS issues.

i did check it and tried going to stock and then back to synergy and still same issue.
Edit: I just started reading many of the comments and i guess i will wait for the next update. Battery life is too good to quit the rom.
Thanks for the reply

From what I read about it, and I've been following the thread because I use Synergy, its possible that it is a hardware issue. Or its possible that you need to Odin back to stock and start over. I've been flashing and reflashing Synergy since 1.0 (or maybe it was 1.1) and haven't had much in the way of issues, GPS works fine.
I'm on one of the nightlies right now, have you tried using the current nightly? Not sure what else I can suggest, I'm pretty new to it all really.

hope this gets fixed

If you flash back to stock does GPS work fine
Ive seen a few posts that gps doesnt work and they have been told flash back then flash rom, but my question is when back to stock does gps work then? if not maybe its the phone its self
I have not had any problems even VZW can find me if i turn gps off

This may not the best route, but it has worked for me so far:
I'm also on v1.7 (Odined back to stock unrooted; rooted via GS3_debugfs-root_r2; CWM 6.0.1.0; clean v1.7 install with data/cache/dalvik wipes) and this is what I did when I initially flashed and noticed GPS locking issues:
1. Toggled GPS
2. Went outside & launched GPS Test
3. Updated AGPS
4. Once the "In Use" # of satellites in GPS Test showed 2 or more I launched Google maps and got an immediate lock.
Since the initial flashing of v1.7 when I have GPS locking issues:
1. Toggle GPS
2. Go outside and launch GPS Test.
3. Once the "In Use" # of satellites in GPS Test show 2 or more I launch Google maps. I usually then get an immediate lock. I also verify with Waze.
I noticed that if I keep GPS on, then I don't have to launch GPS Test to get a lock. However, if I turn GPS off and toggle it back on right before I need it, my GPS lock takes longer. If I'm waiting past 30 secs for a lock, I just launch GPS Test and wait for the "In Use" number to populate before going back to Maps or Waze

Is your Wifi on? Sounds strange but the same thing was happening to me and it said turn the Wifi on and I locked in after being 3 blocks off

I actually got my gps problem fixed. I odin back to root66 and did a factory reset there and ran maps, the gps was working fine. Then i upgraded to the newest synergy and gps is working fine as well. I did a full wipe before going to synergy.

Blaze Signal Keeps Going Out Problem(On Any ROM!)

So here's my issue, my Galaxy S Blaze has been switched from ROM to ROM constantly, I have seen ROMS with modified build.props, other added features, and a bunch of other tweaks, you name it! I don't know what all those tweaks mean, I have no idea if it could affect the way my phone receives the signal but it got me so frustrated that I kept switching roms until finally then I went back to stock and am no longer am switching to another ROM.
Here's a history of the ROM switching I've made in the past couple of months:
1st - MIUI
2nd- Cyanogenmod
3rd- Gummy ROM
4th- Liquidsmooth ROM
5th- Cyanogenmod
6th- Dirty Unicorns (problems with signal started occurring right about here, and onwards)
7th- Stock ROM (hmm... nope nothing fixed.)
8th- Validus (still no, I didn't like the constant force-closing of many apps)
9th- Gummy ROM (nope, what's worse is my screen kept freezing if I had atleast 2 apps open and I slid down the notification drawer)
10th- Cyanogenmod (well, maybe switching to cyanogenmod will fix it)
11th- Gummy ROM (*sigh* switching back? Nope, still didn't help my signal)
12th- Stock ROM (you would expect it to be fixed right about here, but nope)
So what's up what is the exact problem with my signal? Here's the thing: My signal works! That's a start atleast. However, if I turn on my Wi-Fi while I'm home, I can still call/text people, all of that works. But after maybe 2 hours or so, the signal bar is still there, it's telling me it has signal and it's connected, SOMETIMES it will be empty meaning I have no signal(when I really do). But in reality, I can't receive texts, nor calls, none of that. So how do I fix it? By restarting my phone sadly, that has been the only solution for me for these past 2 months. People have complained to me because I don't answer my phone anymore, well I'm sorry my phone can't receive those calls due to this messed up signal. There are 3 other T-Mobile phones in the house that have no problem! The problem here is with my Blaze phone.
So what if I turn the Wi-Fi off for the whole day and see if it's the main thing causing the issue? Well, I did this. Turns out that the signal stays on longer than when I'm on Wi-Fi but it still goes out. I have switched SIM Cards, I have tried switching my APN: from "epc.tmobile.com" to "fast.t-mobile.com" but the problem appears to happen more quickly on the "epc" one than the "fast" one. Please help me with this, this has been frustrating me a lot lately. I'm not sure if anyone has even had the same exact problem that I'm having, I've searched online but haven't seen a similar problem.
Some of you might say, wow that is a lot of ROMS you've switched to, I'm sure there were more that I missed but that's as of recent. I can install ROMS correctly, I know how to use CWM when installing a .zip and using Odin when it's a .tar(or other supported file extensions). I've factory reset, wiped the cache, the dalvik cache, all before installing a new rom. After installing each rom, I've also factory reset and wiped the cache to make sure no other problems could affect the way the rom would work. Hopefully I did the procedure right, thanks for anyone who's willing to help me!
Right now I am running:

Another Issue is that I can't even transfer files to and from my phone when connected to my computer! This is another big issue, here are some images:

Here's what happens when I turn Wi-Fi Calling on but maybe it's just a built-in function that I forgot it had and it's probably normal:

Many thanks!!!

That last picture does show the proper function of Wi-Fi calling however I don't know what to say about the rest of your problems.

There are two things I would recommend trying...
1. Use Blackhole System Wipe
I know you've been following all the proper steps in CWM (and I would say to keep doing so), but I've added using Blackhole, in addition to the first steps, and I always get great system performance on my phone, and my parent's phones (I put them on ProvisionMod after stock was being stupid). It works well for pre installation for ANY ROM and helps prevent pesky issues. However, chances are, your issue is baseband related and this probably won't solve it... But still! You never know! It's worth a shot!
2. Reroot your phone
I know this will be annoying and pesky... but sometimes the process goes wrong from the beginning and starts giving issues later on... When I first rooted my mom's blaze, something went wrong, despite my following all the directions, and one of her partitions was completely disabled, no matter the ROM. I redid the process of rooting her phone (not from GB though... From the ICS stock) and fixed the issue instantly! I would try these two steps first and see if they do anything! Good luck!
