[Q] MIUI without data?

Hey everyone
i'm pretty new to the whole nexus s scene, as i've had this device for about a week now. I've rooted my phone successfully and i'm running MIUI's latest ROM..1.8.5 i believe. Now for the problem..
For some odd reason I'm unable to connect to my 3G network at all (yes, data is enabled in the settings, and set to 3g prefered/2g/only 3g..still nothing). Usually there'd be that green "3G" on top bar of my screen, but it doesn't show up. Now i rely on wifi to go online, which isnt a problem...but it feels like my money's being cheated if i dont use my data in occasional situations. I've tried flashing it again and again, but no results. I've flashed my phone to the Oxygen ROM, and the little 3G icon appeared, indicating that data is enabled (i forgot to actually check if it worked LOL). I haven't found anyone else experiencing this problem with MIUI, but i've found threads on them having some sort of difficulty with their data. If anyone could help me out, or direct me to a thread that has a possible solution, i would really appreciate it ~ thank you in advance.
Also, I'm on Fido.....if that helps.

I'm on the latest miui and I don't have that issue try toggling the airline mode to see if it will kick it in. If not really download the Tom and do a clean install see if that works.

hey, i've tried toggling the airline and it doesn't help. also, what do you mean by "the Tom"?

What happens when you try to connect with just 3G (what type of error do you receive)? Miui's stock 3G icon is white
Also, I think the other gentleman meant to spell ROM

He meant rom, auto correct changes the word rom, I think you need to wipe and reflash the rom.

hey, i've just tried reflashing the rom...and still no 3g ): !
also, when i enable data, and set it to 3g..there's no error. there's simply no "3g" icon on the top, and i can't connect.

Did u try manually inputting your apn? Sometimes providers don't push the settings to you

what exactly would i put in for my apn? sorry, total noob here :/

Go to menu>settings>system>mobile network setting>access point names. Do u have an entry there? You should. If not, you need to check with your network provider for the settings.

i've just tried putting in the APN settings (copied the stuff from the APN settings when 3g works on the oxygen ROM). is there anything else i havent filled in and should? cuz....it still doesnt work

Not really. Create it, fill it, save it, choose it and restart. Should work, it always did for me

How's the battery life on that rom

Seems ok to me. 3g uses alot of juice since the service is crappy in my country. Otherwise, best rom I tried

dang :/ still nothing... i've noticed something though. when im on my oxygen rom and search for networks..the option "Fido" pops up. when im on MIUI, the option "Rogers Wierless" pops up in the place of "Fido" .___." that may have something to do with it...

Same problem here on desire s.
When I try to change the apn setting I get a force close.
Cheers, Cor

New Wifi Tether (integrated Charge profile)

Just wanted to inform everyone that there is a new version of Wifi Tether that has native support for our Charge. This is not my work, I simply wanted to share this update with everyone!
Version 3.1 Beta 14
http://code.google.com/p/android-wifi-tether/downloads/list
Edit: Unchecking "WiFi-driver reload" yields me the best results...everything else is on auto.

Very interesting... Have you checked the DL speeds--are you getting 3G or 4G speed?

I tested this out yesterday. Works fine. I didn't do a speed test but it connected and ran smooth with the charge setting. The only downside is that wifi would not work until a reboot after turning it off.

I used it and didn't have that problem. Did you uncheck the setting mentioned in OP? Also this is the way I installed it: uninstall previous version (I also wipe data with Titanium), reboot, install new version and setup way listed in OP, start and stop wifi tether, reboot again. Whether coincidence or not, thats how I did it and I can start and stop at will. Hope it helps for you.

thanks, missed that line in my excitement, works great now.

They've released this version on the Play Store as well. I just tested it and it works wonderfully, as long as you uncheck the Wifi driver reload option. As an above posted mentioned, I did have to reboot my phone after I installed to get it to work correctly. I also cleared my old Wifi Tether settings from Superuser and let it create new ones.

Interesting indeed... I will have to Speed Test from my tethered PC later today to confirm 4G speeds. The project description still says "3G" without mention of 4G...

issues connecting to work WiFi

Hey All
since upgrading to CROM-i v5 i have been having some issues with connecting to me work WiFi, i never had any issues before v5 but this seems like the only place that has issues. We use Cisco access points that run through out network and we are currently using 802.1xEAP authentication. All devices need to authenticate via MAC's which i have passed onto so they can add it in but when i enter in my details it just stays at "Connecting..." and just hangs there and never ever connects.
i use the tablet at home and it connects with no issues.
Anyone have any ideas???
Cheers

Just flashed using WW and ill give it a go tomorrow when im back at work!
thanks again for the quick response sbdags!

So baggs, should I, a US user who is on 5.03, install WW version to try and make mine stop dropping connections after sleeping? I'm also having a hard time connecting to my ATT wireless router. And other places that I used to be connectable with before I got my 20x Dock. I love the dock but need wireless connectivity. I wanna watch movies in bed, err before sleepie time anyways.

It shouldn't drop a connection whatever version you are using. Can you capture a logcat from when you wake? Does the WiFi icon turn grey or stay blue....?

OK Will do

I keep trying to log into the network at home and on job sites but the wireless utility never seems to accept my passwords. I can't get a signal reading, which is bollocks as I see high signal strength from the access point in the wireless AP list. I will install logcat and capture some logs later.
I dont recall the wireless being this heniky before the newest ROM. :crying: Oh and sorry bought the bags, I see after more careful reading its "dags"!

seems to me that im not the only with this new wifi connection problemj hmmm i still havent been able to connect on my home wifi even with a reformat, factory reset and fresh install of the newest cromi 5.0.4

Wireless gone hayware!

This may be mute, going to try flashing 5.04 and see if that makes a difference. But per your request Im attaching both startup and sleep recover logs. Hope it helps. I have no network connectivity at this point!
Edit0: I did the update and at first network didn't connect. So I "forgot" and then reselected my network and now I am connected and am getting email, updates from apps, and other goodies. Will try sleep and recovery to see if that works too. Just hope it works going forward so I can watch some movies and family guy episodes when trying to go to sleep. I'm happier for now at least. If this fails I will go back to 5.02.......

hey sbdags
sorry for the late reply just got back from overseas holiday and 2nd day back at work.
i reflashed using WW and still have the same issue. i think it might be y works WiFi they must have changed something and cant connect now. might have to get them to recheck that my MAC is still in the allowed group but just so weird that it stopped working.
will have to confirm what channel they are using and get back to ya. It does find the connection but when ever it tries to connect it just sits on "Connecting..." and just times out.

Just confirmed with our network guys here we dont have a specific channel set for wireless devices, they have set it to auto-select so it will choose the least congested channel and try and connect. They also auto-adjust down/up their power so they dont overlap with other points of the same network.
Dont know if that will mean much to ya sbdags. But i might try and dig up the older versions and see which version it started happening.
you recommend doing a wipe and then flashing? or is it fine to start from 5.0 and dirty flash the way up till it stops? also you recommend using a specific kernel? i have been using _that's kernel from version 5.
Cheers

5.0 and dirty flash up should be fine. Also stay on that 4 as that is a stable kernel until you can determine if there is a problem.

bah... loaded 4.7.0 and still didnt work, so safe to say problem with work's WiFi...
looks like ill just live with it! thanks for the input everyone!

I am not running that rom.. I would try to go into settings and when your on your wi-fi menu. I have three vertical dots in the upper right hand of the screen.. Push and a drop down menu will appear.. Go to advanced.. If you have these options turn them off.... Network notification...Scanning always available and wi-fi optimization...Than make sure if you have a wi-fi region code it is set to your location.......Hope this helps thx lj
Maybe a reboot after all that LOL!!!!

hmmmmmm just tried what you suggested @lj50036 actually got a little further than before, attempts to connect and does for a 1 second and then drops out and turns my WiFi off and then back on, and attempts to connect again and does for 1sec and then sits at Connecting... again and just keeps cycling around like that...
i was able to get a guest account and that connects no problems, but the way that i am trying right now actually authenticates through my domain account and allows me access to my works environment
thanks for the input guys much appreciated... i guess its just a lost cause.

Lollipop Battery Chart WiFi always on

I thought I'd start this thread to raise awareness and stop some confusion. It looks like there is a bug in Android Lollipop where under certain circumstances, the battery chart/graph always shows WiFi was on even though it was switched off. This is with "scanning always available" set to OFF of course.
A google code bug has been submitted for this: https://code.google.com/p/android/issues/detail?id=81501&colspec=ID Type Status Owner Summary Stars
What I've found reproduces the problem:
1) Make sure "WiFi scanning always available" is OFF.
2) Connect to a WiFi access point.
3) Physically leave that area of the access point so that the WiFi disconnects because you've gone out of range.
4) Disable WiFi from the settings.
5) Observe the battery chart will continue to show WiFi on, forever, until you re-enable WiFi, reconnect to another WiFi access point, and then disable WiFi.

This hasn't been fixed in 5.1 :'(

No issue here and I manage my WiFi manually. So my question is: do you manually manage your WiFi or do you use an app or a rom feature based on profiles, hours,...?

Thanks for confirming. Yea pretty annoying how they won't fix such simple bugs, thought for sure this would be gone in 5.1.

Yeup it's a visual glitch with the battery graph. As OP said it only happens if you disable the WiFi once leaving the WiFi network area, if you disable it while still connected it shows as off properly in the graph.

Any fix has been found for this bug? Because I'm on Chroma 5.1.1 and this still occurs.

Wifi turning off on it's own

Just started recently. Wifi calling is off. Didn't see any other setting. Anyone know?

It might be because I have wifi smart settings turned on but just recently turned off GPS. Just to turned it back on so we'll see...

Apparently it's not those settings. Problem still persisting. Anyone know please speak up.

Been dealing with same issue. Seen people talk about turning off optimizations for certain apps that is a possible fix. Google connectivity and wifi.

Thanks. How do you do this?

It's in the app settings in the 3 dot menu under optimizations. Like I said it seems to be a hit or miss.

It's an app that assists with Wifi connection. You can find it in the Play store under Google Connectivity Services so you know what the logo looks like, at least in case it's under a different name. Namely used to automatically connect you to good public WiFi APs and auto-tunnel you to Google's VPN.

fixed it for me
Try installing the app called "WIFI KeepAlive" (the one with a grey antenna not green wifi bars)
This fixed it for me
