WIRELESS AND NETWORK TROUBLESHOOTING GUIDE​

WIFI ISSUE(S)

WIFI ISSUE 1:

WiFi gets disconnected once phone is locked or the display turns off​

CAUSE OF ISSUE:

Okay, don't panic. This is not a bug. This behavior is the one responsible why you save battery even if you don't turn off your WiFi radio and this is called WiFi Sleep Policy.

HOW TO AVOID:

Currently Hyperion have 3 WiFi policies available in Settings Tab > Wireless and Network > WiFi Settings > Advanced > WiFi sleep policy.​

WiFi Sleep Policies:

When screen turns off - if selected, wifi will turn off automatically when the screen turns off (obviously)

Never when plugged in - if selected, wifi will not turn off automatically when connected via AC or USB port and is getting power from either AC or USB.

Never - if selected, wifi will never turn off automatically - default setting in stock roms

WIFI ISSUE 2:

WiFI cannot connect to any wireless hot spot and/or wireless networks

CAUSE OF ISSUE:

Still UNKNOWN. The dev team are thinking that only production specific GT-S5360 devices are affected with this issue.

Based on user feedback, we are in conclusion that the following might be causing the problem:

Savie's special built kernel for Hyperion

Netforks Tweak

Mother of Host

HOW TO AVOID:

Currently, we have the following fix but not all or even none of the below suggestion may fix the problem depending on your SGY.

A simple reboot will fix the WiFi connection problem

Flashing your device's radio image (baseband) via Odin will fix the problem

Removing NetForks tweak will fix the problem

Removing Mother of Host may fix the problem

QUICK GUIDE TO FLASHING BASEBAND

Open Odin and locate the firmware files for your device

Connect your device to computer using USB Data Cable (USB Cable)

On the PHONE field, locate the MODEM file for your device

Click start to start flashing BASEBAND

NOTE:

You will only flash the PHONE file​

QUICK GUIDE TO REMOVING NETFORKS TWEAK

Using root explorer, navigate to system/etc/init.d

Delete 04netforks_tweak

Using root explorer, navigate to data/

Delete droidfolks folder

Reboot your device

INTERNET ISSUE(S)
​

INTERNET ISSUE 1:

Cannot open websites and or cannot surf the web​

CAUSE OF ISSUE:

Mother of all Hosts​

For some reason, most of the website that can't load on any browser are website like mediafire, 4shared and other file hosting sites which what they have in common are ADs, Popups, Counters and Surveys. Since MOH is blocking these type of web activities, some webpages may not load. Specially those sites that are configured not to load when their advertisements are disabled by either the browser or internet connection.​

HOW TO AVOID: Thanks to Dr.oidbio for pointing this out​

OPTION 1​

Using root explorer, navigate to system/etc​

Replace hosts file with any hosts file from stock or other custom roms​

Reboot your device​

OPTION 2:

Using root explorer, navigate to system/etc

Open hosts file with text editor and edit the content

Delete everything except​

[LEFT]#
127.0.0.1 localhost
127.0.0.1 localhost.localdomain
255.255.255.255 broadcasthost
::1 localhost
127.0.0.1 local[/LEFT]

Reboot your device​

CONFIRMED WORKING FIX​

​

REPORTED BY: AlvaroOrduna

Therefore, I set to work and I solved the Wifi issue (obviously with your helpful guides). So that I wanted to share with you the procedure to solve the problem. Here are the steps I took:
​

1. Delete 04netforks_tweak from system/etc/init.d

2. Delete droidfolks folder from data/

3. Edit the hosts file in system/etc deleting all except:

#

127.0.0.1 localhost

127.0.0.1 localhost.localdomain

255.255.255.255 broadcasthost

::1 localhost

127.0.0.1 local​

4. Reflash baseband via Odin

It should be mentioned that I do these steps on flashing zip. I mean, I edit the ROM in the computer and then I install it following the steps in INSTALLATION TROUBLESHOOTING GUIDE. Everything else works fine, but in the future I will continue to watch to see how the phone behaves. If something goes wrong and you do not mind, I will report it.​
