[Q] Wifi not in range after flashing rom??? - Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III

My old GS3 I was on AOKP Nov 16th build. I tried to flash lean kernal to get wifi issues. Ive tried from several version as they were being updated. I had the issue always and just flashed aokp without using another kernal. (I don't understand why I would bc others have it working fine) I would just reflash aokp and everything would go back to normal. Except this last time. Now anytime I flash any rom doesn't matter which one I get wifi on the first boot and than any reset after the initial flash i get wifi is not in range. I tried going back to stock and redoing everything. Always the same issue when I go to install any rom. Stock always works by the way. I finally got a replacement and the first time I went to do everything I get the same result. After flashing AOKP I get wifi is not in range. Or any rom based on cm10.
Can anyone think of anything? Would be much appreciated! Thanks
I have been driving myself nuts for the past few days and can't understand why.
P.S. I have a nandroid backup for aokp nov 16th build that works fine. I can always go back to that. (which sadly I have to stay on) If I flash nov 16th build I get the wifi issue??? So I am not sure what the difference is between the two?
Edit: I tried on a 16 gb version that they sent me by accident and the same results. So that's three phones I have that will not flash correctly?? I also noticed after the flash my icons of apps on the home screen are a little smaller than normal. Really scratching my head!
(Ok that is from when I was on US Cellulars Network with a GS3. I just switched to Verizon with a new gs3 and I am getting the same results as from US Cellulars version. What is going on? Any Idea's?) I have never had issues till now.
Thanks

Could it be that your roms are defaulting to the "Avoid poor connection" setting? I know I've started over with some roms before and not been able to connect to my networks while that option was selected.

If you are referring in advanced settings, avoid poor connections is unchecked. Under wifi region code I am unable to keep united states checked?

Edit: As long as I have it set to a static ip address I can connect every time. If its set to dhtc or whatever its called every time it restarts is it doeasnt connect automatically.

Cyanogen 6.1 update - No 3g anymore

I have tried 3 different versions of the Cyanogen mod on my Hero over the last few days and I can't get my data to stay on 3g. I'm staying in the same areas I've always used my phone and I never had problems before. Luckily I can stay on wireless most of the day, but 1x is driving me nuts.
Radio version is 2.42.01.04.27
Any suggestions? My last thoughts are to go back to stock and hope I get my 3g back...

Maybe you need to update your PRL?
As far as I know, the only way to do that is to flash a Sense ROM, go in to the settings (Under phone info, I believe), and do a PRL update. Then you can flash back to CM6.1 and see if it worked?
You can also try flashing different radios to see which gives the best signal for your area, but that has a slight chance of bricking your phone, so... Be careful?

PRL might be it. I doubt a different radio would help. I've not had any problems with the newest radio and I've been running on it for a while. I'm beginning to wonder if it's a problem with turning off wifi. If I restart the phone I can start and stay on 3g. But, if I change to wifi then switch back 3g doesn't return probably 90% of the time. Disabling and re-enabling data doesn't help either.

I don't really look at the data notification in the status bar but there have been instances where I have noticed that reads 1x. Mine seems to switch and like the OP said I am in all the same areas prior to the 6.1 update. I am using the same radio and PRL list as prior to the 6.1 update. I also have my wife turned off and never really turn it on. So this leads me to think that 1 either in some cases there is a problem with the data maintaining its 3G connection or 3G was busted prior to 6.1 and is now reading accurately...though I do not think that is the case since my sister has the same phone and is running sense and she is not losing 3G
Just out of curiosity, could this explain my poor batter life, I am only getting maybe 5hrs and that is with little to no use.
I had the same problem going to the Nov2 build of the blackmod, 3G dead, nothing worked to fix it short of flashing over to a stock build and do the re-provisioning via the #*# code. After that I totally wiped the phone and installed the new CM6.1 build and all is well.

Yeah, I went back to stock and it was normal for me. The last rom I did was the blackmod so it might be something there.

Cyanogen 6.1 no 3G, After Using Wireless
I also noticed no 3G on 6.1. If I used wireless (802.11 to router), the 3G connection would be dropped, as expected and desired. Upon turning off wireless, the 3G connection would not be reconnected. This was not a problem with ADW not updating. All network apps reported no connection. After a reboot, the 3G connection was restored, until wireless was enabled.
I'm unable to get a data connection with any 2.2 Rom no matter what I try. I have this problem not only with CM 6 and 6.1 but also with AOSP which till the problem started I'd been running everyday since I rooted my phone in September.
Been running Liquid for about four days and haven't had any problems.

And I thought I was going crazy! The last week I have been having TERRIBLE luck with my 3G connection with the latest builds, Tried the newest RC,,,,Themed froyos, AOSP, ETC, and kept having issues so finally said screw it and I'm back to 2.1 for a while, Atleast for a week or so till some more bugs are worked out! Anyone know any reason why this all of a sudden popped up after three months of builds???

[Q] WiFi not working on T959V after ICS update

First of all I would like to say I appreciate all the work that the XDA forums has been doing, and I am pleased to see that the community is as strong, if not, stronger since the last time that I have been here a couple years ago. The questions, answers, feedback and help, let alone for the Samsung Galaxy S 4G released by T-Mobile in February of 2011, is amazing. These forums have really helped people make the most out of their device, and had it not exist, this Galaxy S in my hand would have been long forgotten by Samsung, and the Gingerbread stock ROM that I was given with would be my home. It reminded me of how much I had missed messing with these android devices; nothing like jailbreaking and installing cydia on my iPhone. The experience is not the same. Anyways...
Pulling out my T959V from its box I decided it was time to finally install ICS on it after Samsung have let these great device fade away.
I installed ICS last night and stayed up searching for kernels and testing out different ROMS some slow and many faster than others and decided that Cyanogen 9 was the best looking and performance-wise ROM on the phone in my opinion. Considering that all other ROMS base it on the nightly builds extra stuff was just junk, considering this phone only has one processor. So I upgraded from Gingerbread 2.3.6 and I've tried many different kernels and everything works except WiFi. It can not even search for one network no matter how many times I press "Scan". I'd appreciate all the help I can get.
Thanks
Try rebooting into recovery and running fix permissions. Usually fixes wifi right up.

I'd check the MD5 of the CM9 DL and make sure it's a match. I haven't heard of anyone else having that issue. Also make sure you DL the latest CM9. If the MD5 matches format system, wipe cache/dalvik and flash again. Reboot an let it sit for five minutes then try wifi.

Yeah I've checked the MD5 sums of the zip packages after download. This is so bizarre, and the CM9 is not the only ROM I've tried. I've tried about 4 or 5 of them and different kernels as well and all of them do not connect to WiFi. I have formatted system, and always wiped any trace of the prior ROM before installing. Plus, I have tried the method where I would boot to recovery and "fix permissions". No good.
I would use a heimdall one click go back to stock kj6 then flash up to cm9. Sounds like you have some bugs that will only get squashed by going back to stock. IMO I would flash bootloaders too. Just so it overwrites EVERYTHING.

I just used the Stock KJ6 + Root with the Blastoff v2 kernel integrated, flashed, flashed again and installed boot-loaders as well. Phone restarted, went to WiFi, checked it, and it says "Error". Now I'm going to flash it to true stock using Odin rather than the .jar executable no luck so far and I don't know whats going on.

Sounding more and more like a hardware issue. Wifi and bluetooth are on the same chip so if your still on stock try and turn on BT. If it turns on it might not be the chip. If it gives the same error I'd bet money on a bad chip.
This would be a good time for logcat and dmesg...

Bluetooth works fine, WiFi just wont turn on. Its not a hardware issue, and WiFi was working the same day before I flashed to ICS
Done use stock + blastoff that is a stepping stone one click for people to go back to stock then either flash another gb rom or ics rom. Wifi is broken because of the new wifi module used. I never meant for it to be used as a daily driver. Use the heimdall one click bhundven has posted in his one click thread.
@mkho30
I had the same exact Wi-Fi issue a few months ago. I tried everything you tried and what members are suggesting in this thread.
I also asked about this issue on irc (Team Acid) and was told by Bryan that ICS (if I remember correctly) doesn't support WPS button connection. I assumed it was "on my end" and not ROM related.
Bryan suggested that I reboot my router. I had done that several times before asking. I didn't even know you could log in to your router to reconfigure it so he suggested that I Google to learn.
Long story short. I googled and read allot. I reconfigured my router many different ways. I disabled my WPS button connection and reset my router many times. I changed the security every way possible. I even set up a guest network.. the ONLY way I was able to connect to my Wi-Fi network was if I disabled the security COMPLETELY.
That wasn't an option for me. I live in an apartment building and I have seen people in the halls with laptops using their neighbors Wi-Fi.
I tried everything for a couple of months and finally went back to Gingerbread last weekend.
Sorry I can't be of any help with this reply. I just wanted to share my experience and let you know that you aren't the only one that has this issue...man I miss ICS. I didn't have an issue with the battery after "I settled in" Hopefully we can find out what is going on with us.
Btw. I'm back on Gingerbread and I connect to Wi-Fi with no problems.

I tried that several times FB. During my searching I came across a thread (one of those answers sites) that gave your answer as a fix.
I REALLY did my do diligence in trying to get connected. I hadn't seen anyone else with this problem until today so I spent hours trying WPA2 and other configurations. I thought WPA2 would fix it for sure because that was what I had read so I kept trying it. It never worked for me. The only thing that did was having no encryption at all..I started to think that it was a "Black Ice Voodoo thing" lol. Remember how some users, no matter what they did, could never flash Black Ice Voodoo?
Btw the error I always got was an Authentication error.
Thanks for replying
If you're up for it and your router is supported, try OpenWRT. It really sounds like a router issue.
Posted from my SGS4G, thanks to Team Acid development
Sorry. I don't use a pc at work. I have to sneak on xda using my phone and they don't like seeing is on our phones for to long.
I forgot to mention in my reply to the OP that I DIDN'T have a problem scanning for Wi-Fi access. I could do that. I just couldn't connect without getting an Authentication Error. My phone would scan, connect, then discontent and give me the error.
I've had the exact same authentication error, scans,asks for password, tries to connect, then errors out, usually always after flashing CM9 and either a reinstall (recopying to my SDcard too) or a fix permissions have fixed it.
ALSO, this is very important. FORGET the connections in your wifi list after doing the fix permissions. IT WILL NOT connect to a saved connection. Reboot to recovery, fix permissions (don't use a tool within android), goto wifi, click on the connection and choose forget, then choose the connection again and try that.

I will try this. I have done much of what you have stated here maybe even all of it before. But not in the order you describe.. I'd really like to go back to ICS. I had 4G on it (home) where I used to get 3G on Gingerbread. Also at home I needed Wi-Fi calling on Gingerbread but on ICS I had great reception.
@jeff. I just googled OpenWRT and I should have before I said I'll try it when I get home lol. OpenWRT might be to much for me right now.
Thank you for all your help people. I'll update you as soon as I can. I must go sailing now. It's Red Flag!

[Q] Cyanogenmod wifi

I just want to first thank everyone who worked on getting cyanogenmod to work on the jellybean boot loader. There is a problem that i am seeing though through the threads that wifi seems to not turn on. Unfortunately i have the same problem, i have had it for both the modified version on the 30th and still have it on the official version out the 31st. Has anyone else had this problem or even any vague idea as to the problem causing?
Wish I was posting with help I just wanted to cosign that I've also been going through the same thing from yesterday's unofficial to today's rom with turning the wifi on and having the tablet freeze. Hoping it can be worked out looking forward to using cm10 as soon as possible
I can confirm that i am still having the same wifi issues with the 11-01 official version.
I also had wifi issues initially, disable the wifi sleep policy and reboot, it would work afterwards.

for what it's worth I tried this but after the reboot I still ended up with the same problem, I think I'll just stick with cleanrom for now it's been running more than well enough
I updated to 11-2 and still no fix but I think I have come across something. I don't know if it just me but for some reason the wifi region in advanced is set to Europe. I try to switch it to US but never seems to save it. Am I the only one?

I don't have the issue. I have done this twice for each rom stock, cleanrom, jb hydro and I have wifi and gps. I'm using Twrp.
wipe cache, Dalvik, Factory Reset, System ( you must flash a rom now ) so be absolutely sure you have one available.
flash cm10
reboot
boot recovery
flash gapps
reboot
This didn't fail in a total of six tries. GPS is slow and not many sats but it does work.
Once I was stuck on bootanimation. I forced power down by holding power till screen went black. Power up and booted properly.
I miss spoke on the above when I listed gps - checking my notes and reflashing, gps does not work on nightly for me; it does work on the other cm10 jb for me. Sorry! Wifi does work on both.
DANG!! As of 11/3 version, I still have wifi issues. I have flashed back when there was no CM10 and have done exactly above and still cant get no reception. I still think that the region in advanced settings have something to do with it.

I'm sorry to hear that. I had hoped the problem was the difference in the way we handled wiping and flashing. I don't understand why my unit works and yours doesn't. I don't remember anything else I did that may have made a difference but I'll download 11-3 and try again.
I'll report with that status in a bit.:good:
I was on cleanrom, flashed 11-3 as above and have wifi. I wish we knew how to isolate this problem, I'll do some searching and look at some of my logs and dmesg. There must be an answer why some units work and others don't.
When you try to turn wifi on does it turn on and stay turned on or does it refuse to turn on?
I checked my region settings and they were set Europe, I changed to US just for fun but no difference in use. I have read in the US they are restricted to channels 1 - 11 instead of 1 - 14, maybe that is one of the reasons for that option.
I was on cleanrom 2.5 before also. Had no problems with it but wanted to see if CM10 was any better. What happens is that after i flash CM10, when you first start a tablet from scratch, it will search for wifi and say in the middle of the screen "Turning wifi on" and will stay that way. So i eventually have to skip it to go on to the Home screen. When I go back later in settings to wifi, says the same thing and sometimes crashes. When I go back to clean rom or original stock, have no problems.

I can't emulate that on my unit. Have you tried the cm10 by timmytim? If you need cm10 it may be an option. It is built on the cm10 you are trying to use but with some modifications.
I'm also waiting on the nightlies, in my case I'm waiting on gps.:good:

One last shot, it will only take 5 minutes and is easy.
Power off
Remove external sdcard
Remove from dock
Power on
I now updated from twrp 2.2.2 to 2.3.1 and tried BOTH 11/5 AND timmytim versions and still no luck. Do you think i need to try clockworkmod? I don't think that would make a difference.

No, I'm afraid not.
The last thing I can think of that could be different between our situations is your wifi.
I must begin by telling you my wifi router is an antique so I don't have some of the newer features.
This is a fishing trip. Take the little info I provide and try to use it to investigate your situation.
My router provides a table where I can list mac addresses of units I have programmed and only these are allowed access, even if they have the correct password, etc.
Some of the newer units have a button that automatically looks for units and self programs the router security features and any change made since the button was last pressed. If you have such then try to sync your unit again with cm10, otherwise look carefully through your router security options and see if anything stands out that may be different than with stock rom.
I know mac addresses and such are factory programmed but they can be spoofed and on units other than asus do sometimes change with rom.
For instance if I go to google play my TF300 shows as two different unit names.
Asus ASUS Transformer Pad TF300T
Asus Transformer Pad TF300T
That is enough difference to possibly cause your router to deny access.
None of this may apply but it is worth a try.
Good Luck!
wifi issues too
I am having same problem. tried 11-06 nightly and wifi will not even turn on. Tried other nightlies, same deal. Can't understand why not happening to all units. If anyone figures it out, let us know. I really want to try CM10! I think this is being discussed on the developers forum on the CM10 for JB thread as well.

11/06 and 11/07 are both broken for me as well. I saw a post by untermensch ( I think ) in the nightly thread where he was pushing some of his work for use in cm10. Maybe in a day or two everyone will have wifi.
I have read you can flash his kernel after setting up cm10 and get wifi. I have not tried that and if a fix comes soon I probably won't.
What I have done is flash his TF300T kernel over CleanRom and it is faster and smoother. I am not over clocking, using balanced mode.
Sorry I don't have any other thoughts at this time.
Good Luck to us all!

I tried the last couple nightlies and still no wifi capability. Tried a rom based on CM10, still a no go. SO, using cleanROM for now, it seems to work very well for me. I wonder why CM10 works for some and not others? Is there a difference in the hardware from unit to unit?
Wifi works again on nightlies 11/09
I still don't have gps.
LUCKY!!!! I read the post and now on 11/9 and still the same problem. I do want to ask a question though to all that do have the problem. Were you on cleanrom before trying CM10? Does this have anything to do with cleankernel?

[Q] WiFi trouble with CM10?

I just purchased a used HTC One X from the Rogers network and unlocked it. Before rooting it, on the Sense rom WiFi was working great. Very strong signal and it never dropped. Upon flashing CM10, it's not picking up my home network (which I know is working because I'm typing on it right now and the device was connecting to it earlier).
I downloaded WiFi analyzer and it's jumping between networks, some networks pop up and then disappear and then new ones pop up. WiFi is just acting very strange. I did all the appropriate wipes before flashing.
I found a lot of WiFi issues surrounding the international One X but I don't think this is a defect since it was working fine with Sense.
Does anyone else have any experience with this?
Thanks!
Just flashed back to a Sense rom, and low and behold my WiFi is working properly again.
I've had the same experience with CM10 (different nightlies) and AOKP, WiFi is just not reliable. I can connect just fine and the signal strength is the same as with Sense (including CleanROM) but at random times transfer speeds will go down or just drop completely, usually turning WiFi off and on fixes it but it happens again within a couple of hours.
I've tried a couple of tips from those threads like turning off the 5GHhz radio on my router but that doesn't seem to help

I can't even detect my home network. There's a few of the neighbors networks that pop up on and off but it's not consistent.
I'm literally sitting on my workstation which is connected to my home network and I have full bars. On Sense, I also get full bars and WiFi works as expected.

I've had troubles as well with WIFI on my device running CM10. I've posted numerous time to the CM10 dev forum but nothing comes from it at all. I had very good wifi with the Oct nightlies but now my Wifi is chocked off and doesn't perform as expected. I've tried rebooting my modem, router, switch everything and still the same results. Is there anyway to bring some attention to this or figure out the problem?
Help others and myself figure this problem out, anyone?

Are you on the stock kernel for CM10? Try flashing another kernel. It could be a kernel issue that you're having. I had this problem When I flashed PACman, and all i did was just flash Rohan's Build 5 and now my WiFi is working just fine.

I'll download rohans kernel as I've been using the built-in Kernal with that comes with CM10.
**Edit: I've installed RoHan's kernel but still the results are the same. The wifi and network become grayed out from time to time and websites fail to load. I know my home connection isn't quite that fast but there is no reason that the connection all together would drop.
my wifi icon on cm10 just turns grey after a while and doesn't receive any data. So i have to toggle it off and then on again to get it to work again

The CM10 stable rom is out for the LTE One X. I'm going to give it a go and see if any thing changes.
Check your region code under Wifi -> Menu -> Advanced Settings -> Region Code
Make sure it's under US (or wherever you are), reboot and see if that helps.

I'm located in Canada, and I've tried setting it to US and Canada. No dice.
I tried the a different kernel, CM10 nightly, CM10 stable, AOKP, and none of them are working.
I'm having a similar problem. My wifi won't turn on for some reason. It's related to the phone hardware, not my network. And I'm only seeing this problem when flashing the most recent nightly of CM10.
I'm not sure what else to try. Any ideas?
I've tried rohan's kernel as well as setting the region for the WiFi adapter but eventually it happens again. It's not as bad as some of the other posts I've seen, but it does kill data through WiFi at some point and transfer speeds drop.
Is there anyway to get further data on this? I know that my phone doesn't have the hardware "bug" first reported with a few of the devices. Any logs or error reports we can try and gather?
I managed to connect to my home wifi which I was previously unable to connect to, I had to change my router's wireless signal channel from 13 to 1. I am able to hold a signal fine, however I know many of my neighbors networks are not showing up like they should. Similarly, I am also unable to pick up my university network at school.
As I've said, Wifi works fine on Sense.
Is there any way I can help with error reporting in any way? I don't mind donating a bit of money to the CM team and help them get some logs.
It's nice to know I'm not the only one affected.
I would have to say this is completely a Kernel problem. I am having a similar issue in cm10 on N7000. But it's only happens to the some of the routers.
My house's router is a d-link product. And when you are connected you will having no issue, but once you restarted your phone you are getting trouble to reboot the router once to get your self connected again, in the phone, the wifi will stating "Connecting" like forever.
But I am not getting the same trouble when I am with my company's wifi and the Wifi of my friends lynsys. So its hard to tell the developer about this issue because it's not happens to all people. I hopes this info helps. Reboot the router usually works for me.

Unfortunately it's not always possible to reboot the router.
Like I said, I can confirm this issue and anything I can do to help I will try to provide.
These issues with CM10 and the new AOSP will almost make me *shutter's to think this thought* move back to sense.....I'm just not sure what to do. Should we link this to the dev thread?
Edit: I've captured a logcat from me turning on wifi, connecting to a website, and loading a second website to see the behavior. PM me if this would be of use.
This is the only reason I'm using a Sense-based ROM (CleanROM), nightly builds for CM10 run great and I have no other issues, but this one is kind of a deal-breaker for me.

Would it be possible for us to get in contact with a developer?
How would I go about getting a logcat of my own?

I feel you man. I'm sticking with AOSP because I managed to at least get my home network working but it's definitely annoying not being able to get onto my university network.

[Q] Having problems with 4.3 on a rooted sg3

I try to keep up with latest os, but 4.3 has me baffled. The first time I tried to install 4.3 was on Jellybam 10.2. I followed the instructions to the tee, but it didn't work. All 4.3 roms I've loaded I've never had a signal. I don't know what I'm doing wrong. Now that all of the 4.3 roms have the custom recovery already on the rom, it still doesn't work. I have no signal. I thought about unrooting my sg3 and starting over, but that is a pain. So I'm basically stuck with 4.2.2. If anyone has anything to say about my problem please do so. Thanks

I'll second that. Was running cleanrom 7.0, thought I'd fool around with 4.3 Flashed a couple of different ROMS, and none worked. Restored my backup of Cleanrom, and still no signal. It shows 4 bars, can receive an occasional text, but trying to text or make a call the signal drops away. Help!

when you flash, co you clean flash? and what recovery are you using? This info would help in getting your questions answered.
i've been running Mastamoon's unofficial 10.2 (Android 4.3) nightlies (http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2385652), and regularly flash back and forth between TW Roms as well and have never had any real data problems. sure, drops data every once in a great while, but Mastamoon puts a lot of work into cleaning up issues.
one thing: IF you flash, and you don't have data, did you wait more than a couple of minutes? Sometimes it takes a while on first flashes. Also, did you check what your status said? (menu >system settings >about phone >status? Also, check to insure your mobile network is set up correctly (menu >system settings >more > mobile network settings) and check your CDMA subscription is set to RUIM/SIM and NOT NV, and network mode is set to LTE/CDMA/EvDo sometimes during a bad flash, these can get hosed up.
like i said, i run Masta's unofficial version, and go in and out of data areas (no data in the subway tunnels) and it always goes right back.
give that a try, and if still having problems, add more information befor just saying "i don't get any data with any 4.3 rom

Good afternoon, and thanks for your help.
I wish I could give you more information, but I broke one of my cardinal rules about messing with my phone and didn't take notes. Suffice it to say I was trying a couple of different 4.3 ROMS in the forums, as well as the two available MIUI roms that were in there. I use TWRP.
I did wait quite a while before declaring no data, it has actually been a couple of days. It does show I have a signal, and I can get texts that are sent to me. When my wife tries to call my phone it goes right to voice mail, even when it does say I have a signal (4G, full bars). I also cannot send a text, it immediately goes to 'failed message'.
I tried setting my phone back to LTE/CDMA/EvDo, but I don't see an option for CDMA subscription. I wonder if I accidentally tried a Global ROM instead? All I am really looking for is some 4.2 love, I like what my daughters Nexus 4 has for lock screen widgets, and my Cleanrom installation is acting a little wonky now and again, so thought it was time to flash something new. Silly rabbit, trix are for kids.
Thanks again. Thinking of flashing a stock ROM and starting over. Any thoughts?

follow my last post; Mastamoon has his version of CM10.2 (4.3) running great, and is very quick at answers (during the week that is) as well a couple of other DEVs that follow that tread are always willing to offer help. AND he has a download app, that once you install will tell you when there is an update, give you a direct link to it, and after downloading, will check the MD5 to insure a good download.
providing you are on VZW that is.
I actually had this problem coming from hyper drive to dirty Unicorn. But i started out on the Droid X back in the day so I was used to it. While I don't know if this really works but it worked for me is do *22899 then *228# ( so the keyboard pops up ) i did it a few times also i turned it off the cell service and turned it back on using the toggle. While i dont know if that will do it it worked for me. I know LTE dont need do that because of the sim but it does for me in the hiccup.
A question i have that i cant post in the Dev Fourm because of lack of post. I been part of XDA for long time just never posted. But I'm running Dirty Unicorn and theres a option for fast charge but it does nothing. I've used this feature before and makes my car charger work better and home charging and my battery sucks now but does anyone know how to get it working? I've tried terminal did SU and FFC but nothing.
I'm running twrp recovery. I'm asuming the latetest version. And i do let it settle for a while. As for the settings you mentioned, everything is normal,and as it should be. The imei,meid, ect. Is normal. Thanks for the input.
I've fixed this by going full ODIN, putting a stock image back on, and following the instructions at http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2066133 Seems to be working, it is no longer on roaming.

When I tried 4.2 and turned off data it completely killed my signal. None of my recoveries of 4.1.2 had signal. Flashing back to stock fixed the signal problem.
Hellfire and Dirty Unicorns have worked great for me since going to 4.3 and 4.3.1. I use cwm touch recovery but idk how much of an effect recovery has with flashing a rom successfully.
But this tool makes rooting, unlocking the bootloader, and recovery very simple and easy. (but I would flash the latest recovery after using the tool just in case)

I believe fast charge is kernel related and not because of a rom. I haven't ever used fast charge but all the kernel threads always list fast charge as a feature. But which DU build are you running?
