[Q] Samsung I5500 WiFi problem - General Questions and Answers

Hello all,
I have installed Cyanogen's 7.1 on my phone, everything is working as it should, apart from the WiFi. When I go into the WiFi setting to turn it on nothing happens. I can try scanning for a connection but nothing comes up. I have tried other Apps like WiFi Manager and still get the same issue. It doesn't seem to be picking anything up.
I have tried detecting the router on my partners iPhone and it picks it up fine.
Can anyone help me with this WiFi problem?
Thanks in advance

Forgot to also mention....
When activated (turned on) after about a minute of nothing happened, WiFi turns itself back off

WiFi problem Desire S

I have a problem with WiFi that I very often "turned off".
On the phone is OFF S-ROM but the factory was not changed ....
Is there any program that can solve this problem or what else can I do?
WIFI is not extinguished only when the phone is in a supine position, but still, regardless of position.
please can you explain this in a little more detail? Do you mean that your wifi is dropping connection with the router? or the wifi is turning itself off altogether and you have to turn it back on the reconnect to your network?
you might get more help by posting in the general section. And also could you please explain the problem a bit better?
I can guess, but my English is not the best, and perhaps because I do not understand
Phone loses connection to the router, as if the WIFI is restarted, do not need enable it myself, it have done it after a few seconds....

[Q] Original 4.1.2 wifi connection issues

As the title says I am currently experiencing issues on my stock JB 4.1.2 SII skyrocket, the phone is rooted but everything else is stock.
The issue I am having is that when trying to connect to wifi outside of my home the phone will not connect even though the signal is strong enough in the wifi menu, keeps saying disabled or authentication error. these are hotspots provided by TWC and have no password associated. They only require you to connect and log in on the site with your information from your cable provider. Thing is the phone will not connect no matter what I have tried. I've read around and seen that this is or was an Issue with 4.1.2 in general but i was wondering if anyone can please take the time to help me out? I Looked around the forums for other people with a similar issue but have found nothing, so I apologize if this has been answered before. Thank you for your time and help

[Completed] [Q] WiFi hotspot won't turn on.

I installed the 3g/4g optimizer app (see screenshot) after reading about it in an article. After installation, I changed the speed to the highest setting. I rebooted (as instructed) and was unable to get my hotspot to function. I changed the setting back to normal and rebooted. I still couldn't turn on the WiFi hotspot. I uninstalled the app, rebooted, still no WiFi hotspot. I did a factory reset, no hotspot. I had been running the hotspot up until the first reboot to fuel my tablet. I press to check the box "turn wifi hotspot on” the check shows up, albeit grey. The connected icon never shows on the notification tray my other devices can't pick it up. I also noticed when trying to turn on bluetooth tethering, settings is forced closed. I DO HAVE A SUBSCRIPTION for my hotspot. Can you please help me, my hotspot is vital to me.
Seriously? No ideas? Surely it's not over EVERYONE'S head...

[Completed] Broke my Wifi with an App?

Hello!
Yesterday I Installed the Application Pry-Fi (Pry-Fi Changes MAC-Addresses) on my Samsung Galaxy Note 3 (SM-N9005). The app worked great and did what its supposed to to.
When I went sleep I turned my Wifi off. The next Morning I wanted to turn my wifi back on but it doesnt work anymore. If I turn wifi ON the switch changes but doesent go green. After 10 to 20 seconds wifi turns back off. I'am Not able to search for wifi networks Anymore but I can my a Wifi Hotspot with my Phone. So I think that my WIFI Antenna/Chip isn,t broken.
I made a factory reset so I can use Wifi Again but It doesnt change. Wifi is not able to turn on!
What should I do the make the Wifi work Again??? Please HELP me!
Should I have to root my Phone again, install the app and try to fix it?
Sorry for my bad english
Regards and Thanks!
(SM-N9005, Android 4.4.2, Yesterday rooted - today unrooted, Pry-Fi installed via Google Play)

[Completed] Phone restarts when turning on wifi hotspot within a certain area. (Android 2.3.4)

Hi, whenever I turn on my wifi hotspot on my Pantech Crossover (p999, rooted) within a certain area around my school, it shows an error, sometimes showing that the hotspot is active at the same time. When I go into settings, the hotspot button says that the hotspot is not turned on despite the hotspot persistent notification. After clicking the button to turn it on again, my phone freezes, then restarts. This weird behavior ONLY happens near my school, as if it was a certain tower that caused it. My wifi and data works fine, and hotspot works great when I move about a half mile away.
I can't find anything like this on the internet at all, so I'm posting it in the best android forum out there.
Sorry if this thread is in the wrong location, is not formatted correctly, etc. It's my first post.
Thanks guys!
P.S. I have a pretty good understanding of android, rooting, custom roms, hardware, PC software, and the like, so feel free to explain things technically and stuff. Just don't ask me to pull out a linux distro and start sudo-ing things . I don't do linux very well.
Hi,
I can't find a helpful thread on that, but you could try asking here,
