Hello everyone!
I am new to these forums, and as such, glad to meet you all!
Recently, I have flashed a rom and a kernel onto my Samsung Galaxy S i9000. I am very pleased with the result although I have one problem that I came across. As you have read on the title, my WiFi is very unstable and after 2/3 minutes it disconnects and reconnects. It doesn't seem to have this problem when I'm on 3g. I've tried many things, like reconnecting the router and setting up a static ip adress. None of these seem to work, although the static ip adress somewhat prolongs the disconnections. I will get into details in a second. I also had issues with my 3g when I flashed the rom, but I was able to fix that by adding an APN settings. Maybe it has something to do with this.
The reason I am posting this in this section is because I wasn't allowed to post in the rom section so I am sorry if it's in the wrong place. Now I've looked into the other threads when I was making my topic (very handy feature btw), and I've tried replacing 3 files into my system/etc/wifi folder, although only one was present there (wpa_suplicant). Both "Twilan" and "Twilan_Firmware" were absent. Anyway, I added these 3 into the "Wifi" folder and rebooted, but the issue is still present.
Now I have a huge question mark above my head on how to fix this issue. I heard a fabric reset works but I don't want to lose the rom. So does anyone have an idea how to fix this?

Before I flashed:
Darky's Rom 10.2 extreme edition
Gingerbread 2.3.5
How I flashed:
Flashed Stock Rom over Darky's Rom.
Flashed Semaphore kernel on the stock rom.
From recovery mode, installed GalaxyDroid rom. (I just did the steps that are listed in the thread of the custom rom.)

I have the same problem. Tried various ROMs from various people (CM [arjen, hehappy], MIUI, AOKP), also various kernels... no results.

Although the problem still exists, but now, at least I know that there are some other persons on the planet who suffer just like me! It also indicates that it is a systematic problem and there may be a solution. We have to keep trying.
I dont have any problems on wifi. I dont use wifi much since I rely on data connection. But phone/ROM scans and displays network without any problems.
Currently Im using AOKP milestone build #6 and its stable apart from some minor bugs.
See if you can use wifi tethering....

I also have exact same problem - NO WIFI on Android 4.x.x. Problem is related to SIM card and Baseband issue. If you flash ROM with no SIM card, wifi works! If you install SIM card wifi no longer works.
First discovered this when I upgraded from Froyo to LG 2.3.3 and the wireless would not work then, and I had to change network selection from Automatic, and select my service provider manually to get WiFi to work. I think the problem with 4.x.x is similar, but it gives an error trying to manually select the service provider, so wifi does not work.
I have 20G baseband (latest I think).
Does anyone else have error when selecting service provider manually?
CyanogenMod-7 nightly builds wifi works perfectly. Just fails with any 4.x.x versions.
Problem Solved!!
Eventually I found a solution for this problem at: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=35592444&postcount=5856
or directly at: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1445766
I'm very happy now, hope you to be happy as well!!
Hello there,
i've tried to find an answer to my question in the forum and on the internet but, to the present day, I'm still wandering in the dark.
On my sensation i used to have a CM10 rom which worked quite well and, in october, i decided to switch to viperS 1.4.1.
Now i wanted to try again CM10 (doesn't matter which one, i've tried both bruce's and jellybam, the problem is the same) but right after flashing the AOSP keyboard keeps force closing making the phone useless. I'm not new to flashing roms so i've tried formatting all partitions (except sdcard) and flashing again but no progress was made. I've even flashed the latest 3.33 firmware just to be sure and tried clearing the keyboard data from "settings->applications": still no result.
If i restore the viperS backup, the phone works flawlessly (even tho i'm using switftkey there, so i don't know if the aosp kb works right under viper).
Any thoughts? Is there something else i could try?
Thank you very much in advance, regards.

Fairly new to alot of this...please forgive me. I have scoured forums and cannot find an answer to my problem. I got a new S2 about a month ago and I rooted it no prob. When I tried to install CYM 10 (stable and nightlys) It installed but the wifi and radio are shut off. Found a rooted stock and was using it as it was better than what I had stock on the phone but not being able to do it bothered me. After many posts regarding some of these issues with other phones, I have: Updated my prl and anything else I could update successfully, tried again and same problem. I tried turning on, up, down, and everything else I could do with the settings having no wifi or data and went back to the rooted stock. I flashed a radio update sucessfully and then tried messing with Kernals. Dragonics ROM comes with a new kernal flash among many other things and I tried that, installed sucessfully but still not wifi or radio....I even tried flashing older roms and kernals and still nothing.
As of right now I am back to the rooted stock running stupid themes to make me feel like I did something. I cannot find a direct answer to this regarding my model and that I have not tried. This has become an obsession...I HAVE to make this work. Please Help me.
Again, fairly new here and to forums in general and sorry if I did any of this wrong...
Hi everybody,
I decided to go back to Cyanogenmod, because i had some issues with the ROM I used before. First I flashed the CM 10.1.3 stable, everything worked fine, but I couldn't connect to any WiFi. So i tried flashing the nightly 10.2 10.2 2013111 over the Updates in the preferences. Still, i couldn't connect to any WiFi. I tried it two more times with full wipes and flashing the nightly over my Recovery, but couldn't make it work.
All these times i flashed the boot.img after flashing the nightly. I don't really know what to do anymore and thought anyone might have an idea for me?!
I didn't have any major issues until today, so i don't know what Information you might need to help me, so please tell me if I should say something more about the system or how I flashed it etc.
Thanks in Advance!
Edit: Same Problem with CM11...
Edit 2: Tried to flash the Bubba Kernel, because i read something about it...now i can't even turn the wifi on. -.-
