Verizon ICS Modem Update - Galaxy Tab 7.7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Greetings,
I upgraded my I815 to ICS using the excellent instructions provided by Electron. All went well except for the modem update. As it did for many others, my Tab rebooted about 1/3 of the way through the update. I successfully flashed the Modem.bin file using Odin.
All seems OK, but I get a ton of "Oh no. The connection to the server was unsuccessful." messages. I attributed this to a weak Wi-Fi signal at my house and decided to disable the Wi-Fi auto reconnect.
Settings -> More... -> Mobile networks, and it craps out; "Unfortunately, Settings has stopped."
Everything else in there seems to work OK. This is the only setting that creates problems.
Any advice is welcome.
Doug M.

[Q] Suddenly No Service??

Hi! Quick question. I have an Inspire 4G, rooted and running CM7. It has been fine for about a week, and most of today. I just looked down, and it says I have no service. I tried rebooting, and moving out of the building I'm in, and no dice. I checked the settings widget, and data is enabled. My co worker is also on AT&T and his iPhone has full 3G access. What gives?
Thanks!
EDIT: Here is what I remember recently doing. I downloaded a MattedBlue them, the newest one, and via dropbox, got it to my phone. I downloaded it, booted into the bootloader menu, installed it, rebooted. I applied it. I then went into the terminal, and renamed a batch of files that were missing extensions (/sdcard/roms/snes, none had .smc on them) with a for; mv; done loop. I then tried to go back to dropbox, and got a no service error, thought nothing of it, thought it was their system. Then I noticed I have no bars, etc. What gives? Was it the MattedBlue theme I downloaded and installed?
EDIT 2: I went to Menu > Settings > Wireless & networks > Mobile networks > Network operators, and had to choose AT&T, but it's all good now. I wonder what flipped that off?
EDIT 3: It keeps kicking me off, saying AT&T is unavailable, after a minute or two of connection, then I have to manually connect again. WTH? Also, even though I'm connected, I can't open any web pages, etc??
EDIT 4: Well, It says I have full H network, I can send and receive texts / phone calls, but no apps (Dropbox, Facebook, Internet, etc) seem to have connectivity. Menu > Settings > Wireless & networks > Mobile Networks > Data enabled is checked...
EDIT 5 (sorry): Unchecking and checking the Data enabled box seems to have given me data back. I wonder if AT&T is being flaky (central Illinois).
I had an issue where my Inspire would no longer have service. I took the phone back to the AT&T store, they replace the sim card, they said they sometimes go bad, but that didn't help, they ended up replacing my phone.
I sure hope that's not the case. Unrooting and rerooting would kill me :'(

Im in Southern Illinois and my data just stopped working so I just reflashed to an older backup that I saved. I hope that solves the problem.

[Q] Xoom 3G - Wifi not working after ICS Update

Has anyone else experienced this? The update downloaded and installed just fine. All apps seem to run fine, just cannot connect to my wifi network. In fact it doesn't seem to even see any networks.
I did not have my device activated for a Verizon Data Plan, and when I try and go through the "Activate Device" process that fails as well.
Thanks

Which update did you apply, was it an OTA update or one you found someplace else either on XDA or grabbed from the web?
As far as I know the only working update for a 3g Xoom is going out OTA to testers, and no one has grabbed a link for the zip install, so what did you install?

I installed the OTA using the trick to stop Google Framework Services and force the update check.
Before I have you go and do a whole bunch of crazy stuff, let me ask the simple question...have you rebooted your tablet and tried WiFi again?
Also, just so I understand the exact problem, is it that WiFi won't turn on, or is it that it does turn on but just doesn't find any WiFi networks?
Seems okay here. Unrooted and relocked and manually applied updates one by one.

It's that it doesn't find any networks.
EDIT: works now, for some reason after the update wifi was set to 5GHz only and couldn't find any networks. Setting it to Auto resolves the issue. Strangely also the Verizon 3g works now as well.
Thanks for the responses.
wifi not working after Jelly Bean update
My Xoom tablet (Wi-Fi only) just got an OTA update to Jelly Bean.
The Wi-Fi network has stopped working. The network is found and shows as "saved". If I tell the tablet to forget the connection, it will re-save it but it will not process the "connect" command. I am trying to connect to an open hotel network while on business travel. I was connected to this network during the upgrade but now I can't reconnect. I've rebooted and it doesn't do anything different.
Also, when the tablet boots, it still displays the ICS splash screens but after it boots, it has all the new Jelly Bean features.
I am currently unable to use the tablet at all for networking since it does not have any cellular capability.
What now????
=========
UPDATE: After sitting with Wi-Fi turned off and sleeping for about 20 minutes, the Wi-Fi now is working. I didn't touch anything. Previously, it wouldn't load the network and I rebooted it at least 4 times. Weird. but now it's working so I'm happy...

Nexus 5 Wifi Issue

So I've had my Nexus 5 for roughly around a month and I hadn't experienced any issues others have had with wifi not connecting until now. My N5 will show im connected to my home wifi with full bars, but going into quick settings shows it to be orange. Suggesting there's no data transfer, I cannot use any internet based apps with wifi. I've tried some suggestions, switching my router off then on, rebooting the phone, turning some settings off in the advanced panel in wifi settings. All have failed.
I was just wondering if anyone else has this problem and if anyone has a fix to it.

There was a thread around here somewhere that suggested turning off your mobile data helped fix this problem, I think it was in the N5 General forums.....here it is:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2550690
Don't know if it'll help or not, just saw your thread and had just looked at the other one, figured I'd toss it out there.
Thanks for the reply, just tried that solution but still no luck.
I have a similar problem except that there are phases of wifi not working.
Sometimes I would have around 20-30 seconds of WiFi not working and there would be no data transfer.
Speeds are still fast when it is working however.
I played a little with only using mobile data and no wifi, and everything worked. (Small sample size however).
Seems like this is a WiFi only issue.
So somehow overnight the wifi has managed to fix itself, will report back if the problem returns.
The issue with the wifi returned unfortunately.

Don't know if you've tried this but change your WiFi frequency band in advanced setting to either "5 GHz only" or "2.4 GHz only," whatever your router uses. Might be worth a try.
Thanks for the help, but I've tried changing some settings in advanced wifi settings but it hasn't worked. Even what you recommended I've tried that before and it didn't work.
wifi issue
Also I have the same issue - Im connected to router by wi-fi, home and work and time by time (5x a day) wifi stops working. Wifi is enabled in settings, but there is no connection. Restart the cellphone helps, but after that, maybe an hour, it appears again.
Issue was in 4.4 and still appers in 4.4.1.
Yet did not found how to solve it.
I have the same issue on my gnex running shiny 4.4, but I also had the same issue on 4.3. Tried the wifi options, nothing worked. Unfortunately, no solution for this device that has to last one more week. The double swipe down and tapping wifi gets the connection back, but it is only a work around.
The N5 connects seamlessly to my home and work wifi. A few days ago, I flashed the hammerhead factory image, TWRP and the 4.4.1 update.

Hey,
I have the same problem with 4.4.2.(factory rom, no root or not unlocked). Sometimes the wifi not works and get orange. I must put airplane mode to fix it. Its annoying.
But as well happens to me:
When I go out from office or home (where I have wifi connections saved in phone) the phone automatically switch to data plan from carrier. But when I come back the phone stays with data and there is not automatic switch to wifi. Sometimes it help to put wifi off or always airplane mode on/off for a while.
I do not know if it is normal behave of android but I would like have automatic switch to wifi.
I tried to change wifi details (changing bands, etc.) but not helped.
Please help. Thank you.
Is custom ROM or kernel will fix it??
For some unknown reason, as soon as I updated my router's firmware, the problem disappeared.
Updated Android 6.0 solved the issue

So I had the unfortunate experience of having my wifi go down while on vacation and for 3 weeks I spent a good chunk of time wiping and reinstalling multiple versions from Cyanogen, Paranoid android and 4.4 - 5.1 to no avail. I just did another factory wipe today and installed the new Android 6.0
The Finger Pointing Game is OVER
Read through 30+ pages of other android users with similar experience and some people send their units back to LG and some even managed getting a new handset. There was never any hardware issues with my unit I just couldn't turn on the WiFi but after the install WiFi works? Guess next time you push a software update to our Phones CHECK YOUR SH*T google and Maybe DON'T Take 3 months to FIX your F*CK Up.
I have a similar issue. Since Lollipop my phone almost never automatically connects to my WiFi anymore. What's wrong?

Kyocera Duraforce upgrade to Lollipop?

Is this phone which I just purchased able to be upgraded to Lollipop ROM. I did complete the Kingo Root but that is all so far. I am having WiFi issues with the stock ROM,keeps disconnecting from my Asus router. Also, I only have a 300megbyte data package for this phone and was wondering if At&t is able to disable my WiFi on the service,sure seems strange that all of a sudden my phone wont stay connected to my Home Wifi .it just started dong this 2 days ago. Thinking maybe they can cut my WiFi off and trying to make me upgraded to more data by making me use up my small amount by using the 4G signal. They just sent me a email stating that I am already at 75 percent of my 300mg and I could purchase more date if I wanted to. One more thing, TWRP does not seem to support my phone since I could not find it in the list when trying to install there app. Any help would be appreciated.
I had a similar issue when using 5ghz WiFi and ultimately had to switch to 2.4ghz and leave 5ghz off... Some things to try (under Settings -> WiFi -> three dot menu -> Advanced)
Set "Keep Wi-Fi on during sleep" to "Always"
Unhcheck "Avoid poor connections"
Set the frequency band explicitly
Uncheck "Wi-Fi optimization"
I only had partial success with the above, WiFi still goes into fits on occasion but overall the stability on 2.4ghz, especially with the screen off, has improved.
As a side note I've started a super thread for the DuraForce here (link) for those of us with the device to share experiences and fixes. I'm hoping that enough of us can band together where issues like this can be solved faster. I've seeded the thread with everything I've been able to put together and any additions are welcome.

Data Connection Drops on Moto G XT1045 (T-Mobile US)

I was curious if anyone else experienced or has familiarity with this issue. I've been dealing with this since I got the phone almost a year ago. Sometimes when my phone has been idling and I return to check something, the data connection will be unusable. The 3G icon will be visible but internet unavailable (4G works fine, but I prefer to have my phone set to 3G only). It's possible to wait 30-60 seconds for the connection to reset itself, or under settings, switching "Cellular data" or Airplane mode also restores it. Aside from that, the connection is mostly reliable & I don't have any usability issues once data has restored.
I've always ran CM & LOS on this phone so I haven't tried using a stock ROM (solution suggested in an older thread... Mobile data cutting out). I've also flashed the latest Lollipop Radio Firmware (fsg & modem). Thanks for any help.
Edit: I think this may have had something to do with visual voicemail being enabled. I've since switched to AT&T where VVM hasn't worked at all (they suggest using their app) and the problem has gone away.
