I'm having a problem where SOME of my apps (like Friendcaster, Pulse, and Draw Something) do not detect my WiFi connection, while others work fine. Any ideas on how to fix it? Never had the problem while I was on MIUI before upgrading to ICS or on ICS itself, but I do now that I'm back on the same MIUI build.

I upgraded my Captivate to Froyo. I have a few issues.
GPS - My GPS worked well after the official fix on 2.1. Now the GPS is crappy once more. Is there a way to fix this?
On occasion the phone turns off for no reason, even with a full battery and just lying around for a couple of hours. Is this a known fixable issue?
Tethering seems to be built in without extra software or rooting. I was able to connect my Windows 7 computer via USB and WiFi. However, the PC says "No connection to the Internet". I noticed that I can't use the Captivate's wifi conenction when it's also a wireless hotspot, but I do have a decent 3G connection. Any ideas?
Thanks much.

Is the version of froyo you're running JI6? I had weird random shutdowns with that version too. I flashed Cog 2.3b6 (based on JJ4), which doesn't have the random shutdown issue, so I imagine it's a bug in the JI6 build.
If you go to settings>wireless>mobile AP, that will actually turn your phone into a mini wifi router that uses your phone's 3g connection for internet access. If you can't get your computer to connect to the internet through your phone, you might want to go over your settings again. I've only tested it once on JI6 and it seemed to work fine.
As for the GPS issue, sorry dude can't help you there. I'm one of the lucky few that has a captivate with a well functioning GPS, stock JF6 through Cog 2.3b6. The only thing I could suggest is to try a different rom :\
I've seen this across 2 devices now - the moment I update to 4.1.2, the wifi stops working.
- It sees networks fine
- It connects to networks fine
- It stays connected fine
- It does not transmit data over the networks.
The arrow icons flash as if it were doing something, but it's not actually displaying any results - apps do not update, browsers do not work, anything that needs the internet to function does not function.
Is anyone else seeing this? Android 4.04 works great, and I've not had any problems with it. It's good that 4.1.2 is an optional update.

Hi
I'm successfully using DJL. CM10.2 ROM with an external BT GPS http://m.aliexpress.com/item/534986020.html for navigation (using waze with GPS as mock locations and 3G for the traffic input).
Only problem it only works after BT & 3G set on and device restarted.
If I try after closing 3G / BT it will not work until i restart the device as mentioned.
Any ideas ? It's not a memory issue. Even if i kill all running processes i need to restart to be able to use it again. I also tried to fool it with flight mode but no luck there....
Thanks.

SOLVED : after testing all 4.3 ROMs I can say in confidence that this is a 4.3 android version specific issue. on CM 10.1 (4.2.2) I have absolutely no problem connecting my BT GPS and get instant access, all 4.3 ROMs failed on that. Moreover, I think that currently (Dec.1st2013) 4.3 ROMs are everything but stable. keyboard randomly disappears, launcher crashes all the time and it is plain slow, but I cannot complain : 4.2.2 on this device with a BT GPS is simply perfect. thread can be locked.
First of all, many thanks to the devs who brought these awsome Viper ROMs to us!
I have lately been experiencing strange problems when trying to use WiFi hotspot (it used to work fine until about a week ago). Now what happens is the hotspot initiates nicely, my laptop finds it and connects, but there's no internet connectivity. What is even more strange, my phone also loses internet connectivity (email, browser, you name it) as soon as my laptop is connected to the hotspot. When I disconnect the laptop from the hotspot, the phone regains internet connectivity.
My phone is Ville C2, I was previously using Viper 3.1.4 when the problem first appeared, then I upgaraded to Viper 5.1.0 and the problem persists.
Should anyone have a tip where to start fixing this, I would highly appreciate it as the hotspot functionality is quite important for me.
I have a very annoying problem in My Mix 2s, the wifi is disconnecting.
I have already updated the miui, downgrade, I used the miflash, I installed the beta version of miui.
I recorded this video to show how the wifi :
watch?v=aspqbGUar6Y
Note: When I am downloading the wifi does not disconnect.
Is there any way I can tell if the problem is hardware?
there any fix for this problem?
