My Galaxy S2 Skyrocket constantly searches for WiFi but NEVER finds it, Why is this? Its currently on a "stable" CM 10.2 ROM and ive put it back to stock and then back to CM, but the problem persists. Is it internal damage? Or is there something I can do to make the phone actually FIND a network. I have wifi at my house but it doesnt find it, its constantly searching and it wont even find my neighbors wifi. Every other phone in the house that my family uses have no problem getting wifi. Its just THIS phone. Please help guys! Thanks!

Ok I'm having a very annoying issue on my Inspire 4G. The phone recognizes my home wifi network and goes in a loop trying to connect and then reconnect. I have several other devices connecting to the wifi flawlessly - (iMac, iPad, Xbox, etc). Does the Inspire just get weak wifi signal strength, or is there something wrong with my phone? I'm considering returning it to get the Atrix. I also know other people have commented saying that they have this issue also. Is there a fix? Thanks

Had this problem. Went into wifi settings and clicked on the access point that it was trying to connect to. It asked me for my credential storage password or something (different than access point password) and after typing that in all has been well ever since.
i got the same problem.. connected to network but it wont let me use internet at all

Check your battery cover and sim card cover. Make sure that they are both installed properly with no gaps.
If you downgraded you phone using attn1 guide thats well known problem. I had same problem i flashed rom coredroid 6.8 and all is fine now.

So...
I am running my phone rooted, but mostly stock (just some removals) with ROM 1.53.401.2 and he 0.15.3150S.19_10.31501S.06L baseband.
Its been perfoming fine ever since so I never bothered to upgrade to a custom ROM or the newer basebands.
Its an EU unbranded phone. As of tonight, with nothing special done to it it seems to have lost all cell reception. All I get is An x where the 5 bars are. Funnily, when I turn of my WiFi router and select wireless internet, I can get online and download data through the cellular inetnet connection. But not a single call or SMS will go out.
I have moved to like every location in my apartmant and outside and nowhere I can even get a single bar of reception or even a call through.
Does anyone have any idea WTH this could be, what could have caused it? Any ideas on where to prod and poke for a solution?
Mine did that for the first day after I put a non-stock ROM on it...hasn't done it since. I took the piece that covers the SIM card off and popped it back on. I don't know what causes it though.

Hello!
I have had terrible WiFi signal no matter what router I use for a very long time. Today I just flashed the fully stock JB image from Odin, then rooted and unlocked my bootloader to flash the 747 kernel because it said it had WiFI driver updates, but I still get terrible signal. I can barely use my WiFi at my house, my school, and at work. I know that there are known issues with the WiFi but I figured after the JB update or at least a new kernel with updated drivers, that it would be fixed.
The issue is not only that if it connects, it disconnects, but the reason it disconnects is because the signal is so weak (at least according to my phone). Most of the time I can't even see the WiFi networks but I had someone with a Galaxy S3 right next to me and they had perfect WiFi signal while I couldn't connect, so I am completely lost at what to do next.
Any help would be much appreciated
I was running a Jellybam rom on 4.2 about a month ago and I decided I would upgrade to a 4.3 rom. Up until then my data was working normal and I could get 3g just about all around town. So after searching I settled for the ;latest PAC-man rom on 4.3 and loved the features it came with. Theres only one issue though...Now when i turn my data on and wifi off to access 3g or 4g I am extremely lucky if I even get a 1x signal. I am talking once in a blue moon this will happen. I know my data is working thought because when I download or send a MMS, I will instantly get 3g or 4g but as soon as it is finished, all data is lost again. I have tried going back to Jellybam and reinstalled PAC but nothing helps fix it. This is really becoming annoying now because I cannot use gps or pandora in my car anymore. Please help!
About 3 weeks ago after installing the update of liquidsmooth 4.4.4 i randomly started dropping to 3g service in places that i normally had full 4g available. It has slowly gotten worse to where if im not on wifi, than the phone is pretty much useless. i normally have full coverage everywhere. so i originally thought that maybe something had gotten messed up on the update, so i did a clean install of liquidsmooth 4.4, and blackbird kernal and same thing still occurred. also tried carbon rom and slimrom, and no luck. so for the fun of it, i went ahead and reflashed the phone back to stock from backups and rerooted it, updated the modems and reinstalled liquidsmooth w/ blackbird kernal, and same thing. i have went through all the mobile networks settings and tried everything and nothing seems to help, idk if that update screwed something up or if its an issue that others have been experiencing as well, or if im just screwed and my phone phone is dying.... any help is appreciated thanks

I'm currently running OmniToad, and ran CM 11M8 for a short while. On T-Mobile at least, with the custom ROMs it's normal to see H+ only when data is being transferred; it will drop back to 3G otherwise. When I ran the stock ROM on the Relay, it would always say "4G" regardless of whether it was in UMTS (3G) or HSPA+ mode. Apps like SignalCheck or CellMapper will tell you which mode it is really in.
On the other hand, if data transmission is only going through as 3G, it could be a phone issue or a tower issue. Is LTE available in your area, or are they just getting it set up? I know when T-Mobile was upgrading the Chicago area to provide LTE, there were a few glitches here and there.
It was stupid for T-Mobile to brand HSPA+ as "4G" but that's a different rant.

yea LTE has been in this area for quite a while now, i had it with my S4 and it worked perfectly, i never had a problem with the service on the relay either up untill a few weeks ago the internet speed and and data coverage was great, not quite as fast as the LTE on my S4 but it was still more than adequate, i used to use the hotspot and stream netflix on my laptop. now i can usually get a text to send but calls usually fail and if i try and use the internet its impossible. it almost seems like its doing the exact opposite of what it should be doing, as soon as i try and use anything (not while connected to wifi) than it drops coverage to 3g/edge/ or to nothing at all. Im leaning towards the hardware failing side, but i figured i might as well give it a shot and post it and see if maybe i wasnt alone. thank you for your reply.
small note of background on me: first time posting ever in this forum but have been using the tools and roms from it for a long time, so im not a complete noob, but i definitely still have a lot to learn.
