[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] metalgeek:
After lots of searching, I need help with this.

After installing Juice Defender, Wifi is acting up.

About 50% of the time, Wifi won't turn on using the drop-down button or Power Control widget. When I go into WiFi settings, it states, "error."

Even trying to turn on Wifi in Wifi settings is hit-or-miss. After 2-4 times trying to turn wifi on, it will eventually turn on. But as soon as Juice Defender decides to turn the wifi off, it goes back to being muffed-up.

So I removed JD & installed SuperPower, but the same thing happens.

I HAVE run my Cappy using CM7 & SP WITHOUT ever installing JD, and it seems to act as it should.

But when I flashed back to Serendipity 6.3 & restored my apps using Titanium, it restored JD & the issue came back.

My questions are:

1. Is this a known issue?

2. Is there a fix (possible as suggested here? http://androidforums.com/captivate-all-things-root/169627-captivate-wifi-problem.html#post1584956)

3. WTF???:mad:

4. Do I have to just disable these power managers from controling Wifi?

5. WTF!!!!???:confused:

Thanks.
[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] nickm50:
I would disable them and use The "turn wifi off when screen is off" setting in advanced wifi settings.
[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] metalgeek:
OK. Trying that now. Will report if it fixes the problem.
[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] WiwiPouPou:
I got the same issue since 2.2.1 with every third party app which control power (superpower, greenpower, JD with UJ, tasker too..), wifi policy works but i've bought UJ for location aware wifi policy...

Changing wifi driver to jpa one doesn't help.

That's weird cause widgets (extented control) can enable/disable wifi with no issue !
[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] mechanical tool:
I had the wifi "error" problem using the power widget and the wifi button on the notification menu.

I was able to fix it by updating my kernel to Speedmod K13D.
[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] yaboysupadave:
I'm running stock 2.2 and I experience the wifi error and I do not use a power manager :( happens everday
[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] daveshih:
Do not run any task killer app if you are in 2.2+. Not needed anymore because android takes care of shutting down processes. Once you remove your task killer apps, your wifi will work correctly.
[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] yaboysupadave:
Coo ima try that I was thinking something like that cuz every time I get off of wifi I hit task killer
[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] tupirujp:
Guys don't turn the hot spot app on that's why wifi dosent work
[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] yaboysupadave:
Never used it
[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ewingr:
I too am suffering with this, specifically wiht Tasker.

I don't use a 'task killer', although I use an app that tweaks Android's native settings for killing tasks. It is called AutoKiller...but the name is misleading, as it does not kill tasks.

That being said, I will set my settings to default, and uninstall it long enough to test out that theory.

Hotspot is not the issue, as I don't use it.

Its not specific to 2.2.1, as I'm on 2.2 at the moment, Cognition.

I have used derivitives of Speedmod, and have still had the problem.
[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] tehsam:
This has been a known issue for some time and I have experienced it without using mobile hotspot, task killers, or extended power control Widgets. I made a thread in Q&A when I began experiencing the issue after flashing 2.2 but it never got any traction.

The newest version of hardcores speedmod (k13d) attempted to fix this and existz has ported it to onix kernel. If you have tried previous versions they did not include the fix so it may be worth giving those kernels another shot.

Di11igaf's 7.1.1 with jk4 and suckerpunch #56
[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] yaboysupadave:
That sucks but after getting rid of advanced tk I haven't experienced any problems it was easily multiple times a day when it use to happen I could turn it off and on and it would happen. So far so good.
[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ewingr:
Did you get rid of the problem with one of those kernels?

I can now verify that removing the AutoKiller and its settings did not help my issue. My issue is very prevalent.

I am currently on Existz's kernel, which doesn't have a name: specific for UCKB1. I may try the Onix kernel.

[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Bigal77:
I have had this issue since I updated my OS to 2.2.1 Froyo from eclair. I have a i896 Captivate from Rogers canada - unrooted, and i have no idea how to fix this issue. I have a 6gb data plan luckily, so usually avoid wifi, it only works after a reboot, or toggling it on off several times so I gave up.

I never changed router settings, it worked fine with eclair, error issues with froyo all the time :(
[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ewingr:
Not sure if it is a fluke, or short term, but I cleared cache and Dalvik Cache via recovery, and so far in the past 2 days since, I have not had the WiFi Error.

Keeping fingers crossed.

Although I typically do both of the above when installing a new ROM, but may very well have forgotten to do it.
[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ewingr:
Nope. STill failing. So frustrating.

I'm reading good things about Andromeda 3. I may try that ROM. I have a quesiton posted in their Q&A section asking if anyone is experiencing this on that ROM.
[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] troyy0206:
When I have this issue, I toggle Airplane Mode and it seems to fix it. I'm running Serendipity 5.11 and sometimes WiFi does this or my MobileAP will not turn on. I used to reboot but then started playing around and figured out that toggling Airplane mode fixes it for me.
[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] fldude99:
Yea but wifi should come back on after turning off mobile AP. I get the same problem..wifi error and only way I can make it work again is to reboot
[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ewingr:
Having to mess with reboots, toggle AP mode etc, is not satisfactory. It is broken.

I'm not hopeful for a fix though.
[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Malorkus:
I also get this sporadically, using several froyo ROMs and kernels. I use Tasker to only turn on Wifi when I'm at home. I can always fix it by going into the Wifi settings and manually toggling the Wifi checkbox.
[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ewingr:
Yeah me too, but if need to do that, might as well do away with Tasker. I have happen a high percentage of the time.

Trying different ROM/Kernel/Modem

I started this thread: Anyone Successful w/ROM-> Long Term, ie not constantly reloading?, and while an overwhelming number of posts, from what did post, Andromeda3 seemed to be popular for not having to reload due to problems.

I posted there to ask if anyone is having this WiFi issue, and got no responses. So I thought I'd give it a try. Problem is, their kernel doesn't OC, and I need that due to my crazy interest in so many apps. (I don't know why just having the apps on the phone need to slow it down if not running them, but that's the case...even with using things like autostarts...another topic). Anyway, I immediately put Onix on, and no go...still having this issue.

The good news about this ROM is I can use i9000 modems, so I am going to try different modems to see if it affects it. I think they are working on an OC version of their kernel, so I will give that a go if I haven't stumbled across a modem that helps.

Ultimately, I'll suffer with lag and try their stock kernel after a while if I have no luck.
[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ewingr:
Latest update

In a nutshell, I'm having no luck ridding myself of this problem.

The Andromeda3 ROM, along with their Ursa Minor Kernel did not fix this problem.

I did not have this problem for the longest time, and now that I do, I cannot get rid of it. I wonder if it has caused by an app that I have installed. I have LOT of apps installed.

Not sure what to think. I expect that there are lots of people toggleing WiFi with Tasker, but only see a few complaints about WiFi Error.

Frustrating...
[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] AdamOutler:
Try reflashing your rom with Andromeda3. Restore only missing Apps with data. Do not restore system data. Use our modem and our kernel. Your problems should be solved. This problem was present on many roms prior to the release of Andromeda3.
[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ewingr:
You've convinced me to give it another try. If it works, I'll have to decide between suffering the WiFi issue, and removing some apps to accommodate the not OC kernel.

I will say that I am very happy with this ROM, and as noted, this issue is NOT specific to this ROM. Your suggestion above gives hope of a cure for this.

To possibly simpliy, I'll put original kernal back on, along with original modem. If no go, I'll completely reflash as you suggest.

I'll post back how it goes.

To other readers/interested parties: I have been very happy with this kernel (have tried severl others). And the support provided on the thread, and professionalism demonstrated by AdamOutler, makes working with this kernel rewarding beyond just the experience of the kernel itself.

Error not based on 3rd Party Toggle

Just had someone report while on this topic in the Andromeda thread that they have had this happen repeatedly, over more than one phone, and based on just leaving WiFi on, and Android doing the hook to his wifi, having it fail.

I am trying a test related to apps. I have reloaded Andromeda, and installed only Tasker, and after so much time with success, I will add apps, and continue that way until it fails. Then if it fails uninstall the last set of apps, hoping to see if it is a given app causing this.

I am not confident that this will be any more than a waste of time. I'll keep posting as I progress on how it goes.
[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ewingr:
Latest Update on my test

As of this morning, with Andromeda3 and its default kernel and modem, with these apps installed:

Springjupad, Calendar Snooze, Quick Settings, Folder Organizer, KeepassDroid, Launcher Pro, Launcher Pro Icons, OnTrack, Apps Organizer, Gtasks, WidgetLocker​

over 2 days, and maybe a dozen trips in and out of the WiFi zone, I have not had one WiFi error status.

I just added a few more apps. Will keep posting status/progress.

Maybe I'll ultimately find an app that is causing the error.

I give up. I installed a few apps; seemed to we working good; I installed a few more, seemed good, but waited a bit to install any more. But finally the WiFi Error. Uninstalled the apps, still get the error.

Seems I'm stuck with this problem. Can't get it located to any specific apps installed as causing it.
[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] defriend:
I have the same issue ever since upgrading to stock 2.2.

When I enable Wi-Fi at home I get a "error" message. When I enable Wi-Fi outside and connect to a public wi-fi hot spot, it connects!! To make it worse, my wife's Captivate connects to my home wi-fi even after the 2.2 upgrade!!

When the wi-fi is already on, and I try to connect to my n/w, I just see "connecting.. obtaining IP address" and then nothing.

What's going on.. totally frustrated :confused:

Restore the phone to stock, then try again.
[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ewingr:
Not going to read back to be sure, but I was thinking I had mentioned earlier in this thread I had tried that. In any event, I've installed different ROMS, always going back to stock first; different modems; different kernels. Nothing fixes the problem.

I'm not sure if staying on stock would or would not fix it, but staying on stock isn't much of an option.

Haha yes sir ****s magic
[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ewingr:
Hmmm...according to the reviews, it may take several attempts, and the problem also returns for some. None of the reviews indicate if the problem is the 'error' status on WiFi.

Also, when you run it it removes all your profiles, so you have to reset them all up.

My current problem is a bit intermittent. I will apply it the next time I have the issue, and will report back how it works out. Hope to see how it goes for others.
[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] yaboysupadave:
I was having the same problems with the error bland then that plus not obtaining IP without having to go through all share try it man I've been error free since

Damn well I had a error the first time I did it but it has been error free. Are u using the power bar Widget or the bar on the slide down menu. I use the slide down menu stopped using the widget when all the other problems from before.
[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ewingr:
I think this was mentioned earlier in the thread, but my issues result only when the WiFi is toggling via Tasker automation. Also happens when using other third party apps to toggle WiFi. Unless I get the error, I almost never do it manually.
[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ewingr:
Well, after applying that program, myh WiFi error in fact is much worse. Fails EVERY time I re-enter my WiFi area. I have no idea now to undo what it applied. I guess I'll experiment. May have to reflash.
[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] yaboysupadave:
I am getting error now but it seems I have narrowed it down everytime I leave my house and turn my wifi off while it is roaming/searching for other networks I will get this error . But if I turn it off while it is on a network it will be error free the next time I turn it on. Been doing it at home turning it off and on for 60 times now error free.

Does the battery drain if u leave the wifi on out of range searching.

[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ewingr:
I'll experiment with some of the later thoughts and post back how it goes.

FYI...after a couple reboots again, now it seems to be working correct again. I am confident it will mess up again.

It is interesting to hear about the fact that if turn off while connected, it works fine.

In my case, it always gets turned off automatically by Tasker AFTER disconnecting from my Access Point. Although I don't have it set up to do it immediately. But even if it did it immediately, based on teh observation, that may not help, as it would be 'AFTER' disconnect even then :p

I wonder what the deal is with this ....
[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ewingr:
My problem is gone...

I have found that if I use static IP addresses instead of DHCP, that my wireless works perfectly now. Just to restate the problem: It would have many short disconnects; and often the WiFi would go into an error mode.

Now, it of course could be possible that you are experiencing problems at a place where you have no option of setting up a static IP address. Fortunately for me, I really only have the problem at home, and so static IP addresses is no problem.
[G Tablet Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] barcod21:
Hey everyone, I've been searching and can't find any info about the problem I'm having. I'm using tnt lite 4.3.2 and have adw.launcher (free version) installed. The status bar at the top of the screen can be pushed up to hide and I want it to stay stationary. When it goes up and hides it starts locking up when I pull it back down to view it. I've gone into adw's settings and unchecked "hide the status bar" so it doesn't hide on its own but if I swipe up on the screen by accident it goes up and hides. I'm assuming it's supposed to hide like this but I would think there would be a way to lock it so its always visible. Or even better, a fix to prevent it from locking up when I unhindered it.

When we open up this file in text editor, is it possible to direct the camera hardware key to open up a different camera app?

They have it in the development section to make the Genius button open up Google Search, I'm trying to make the Camera button open up Camera360.. Any ideas on what to replace key 211/ key 212 with?
[myTouch 4G General] xdviper:
Can't you setup the camera button from the application defaults when you first press the camera button? Like home replacement apps, when you press home button, the set as default comes out. Check the application menu from the settings.
[myTouch 4G General] ags29:
Yep. It's set as that but it only opens up Camera360 when a third-party application calls for a camera app and not when pressing the phone's hardware camera button.

I found an app called "Button Shortcut" that allows me to set any app for the camera button to open up, so that's perfect. I basically wanted to do it without requiring an app though, because it seems that the glacier-keypad.kl file is the file to edit (you just have to know what to write, which I don't lol)..

exactly the rooted version is the same its just pre-rooted still has all the blur and everything why bother using an app to root when it comes rooted
[Droid X General] Sunblood:
It's better that the root method isn't publicly known. P3 can keep putting out prerooted images and Motorola/Google can't find the exploit as easily so we can keep rooting away.
[Droid X General] randroid123:
Yea I agree, just get the pre-rooted image and stick with P3's updates - he keeps us ahead of the mainstream by a couple months anyways. I guarantee that P3 is looking out for YOUR interest way more then VZW and he has the resources to get us what we need. I'm pretty sure he must be involved with moto in some degree... I'm pretty sure thats where he gets all his early builds that are going to Verizon at the same time for more testing.... Except while they lag and usually don't even release those particular builds, because of P3 we get to tinker around with them and test too :-) Support TBH!!!
