WiFi and GPS Problem - Samsung Galaxy 5 I5500

I am using I5503 for last 3 months with 2.1 version and the WiFi and GPS was working well.
This problem happened after I upgrade with 2.2 and then downgrade with 2.1 again.
GPS is not working at all. The WiFi only works after I reboot the phone. I mean, I need to Switch ON the WiFi and reboot the phone then it will connect. Otherwise, it shows Unable to Turn ON WiFi. If it is ON then it shows Unable to Turn OFF
Please let me know the solution. Thanks.

i think it could baseband problem. after i upgraded the baseband and flashed new beta version 0.4 of cyanogenmod my gps locks in 10-20 seconds (before it was 5 mintes) and wifi lock almost imediatelly (before had a problem with certain rooters, didn't want to lock at all). look more info in first three posts over here.
hope this helps

Wi-Fi & GPS unresponsive

I seem to be having a small(or large?) issue with my Wi-Fi connectivity - after rooting my phone it didn't surprise me that I lost GPS functionality, it didn't surprise me that I never got it back but hey I can live without it if it means I don't have to wait for HTC.
What's beginning to bother me is the fact that my phone can't manage a Wi-Fi connection it could 3 days ago.
Tried restoring my 1st nandroid backup that I made immediately after I flashed the custom recovery and I still had no Wi-Fi. And no GPS.
Also I have tried flashing 63.18.55.06JU_6.35.09.26 as well as 63.18.55.06JU_6.35.08.29 with no result on either front.
Please help me out if ya can.
What ROM you using pal?
1st thing to try is to put both your GPS and WiFi on, then turn your phone off and back on again.
I'm currently trying to use SenseHero 2.2
I have tried turning on both WiFi and GPS and rebooting, I have also tried similarly - leaving them on and flashing the radio too...
It doesn't seem to be helping all too much.
Furthermore(and the part that concerns me most) I have tried restoring my initial nandroid, the 1st one I made and saved after flashing the custom recovery and still nothing.
and there's no mention of issues in the Sensehero thread no?
If I was you,....
I'd backup my sd,... Format it. Then run a RUU so it unroots and goes back to stock state,... then see if it is working again or not.
I've been searching threads over as many forums I can find for DAYS. But still a no go..
I suppose I'll try to unroot it. I haven't finished researching the RUU's, does it matter which one I use?
Well apparently unrooting the phone doesn't reinstate the GPS or WiFi connectivity.... GPS still "unable to determine location" and the WiFi still SEES the WLAN networks in range but still cannot connect to any of them.
I can't seem to find anyone else who has had problems with WiFi connecting let alone wifi AND gps problems.

6/1 Android Build WIFI not working???

Hi there guys well i just installed the new Android build.. and when i have 2 sign up to google or gmail because i got gmail it wont search a internet spot...

I've been having the same problem since the beginning but nobody has really been able to figure out what's wrong. I turn on WiFi and then after a couple seconds I see an error that says "Unable to scan for networks.", and then WiFi shuts down.
^Same problem here. Wifi not working.
If you guys won't tell us what version you are using and if you got the batterie fix installed etc, then we won't be able to help you. So be more specific so we can help.

I installed this version of android, but also get the message:
Unable to search for networks
If you use the batterie fix you need to install the zimage AND the module. Some people (including me ) seem to forget that.
Tried it already, but still doesn't work.
"Unable to scan for networks."
well..
well what i ment was that my WIFI wont work... i got the latest version of this tread http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=627997 build on 1 July-2010..with launcher pro.
This is my error that says "Unable to scan for networks.", and then WiFi shuts down...

Same here been have this problem from ever since i've try android, rhod 210 cant get wifi to work for the life of me.
Someone please halp.
I dont think there is a way to get wifi and battery working at the same time in GSM phones...but I could be wrong, can someone confirm?
For what its worth, I had the same problem with wifi not working. But I didn't have my sim card in yet. not having the sim card was my problem. if that's your problem you might get connected to wifi after trying my option which made everything work smoothly.
Anyone having any luck yet with this?

the newest rootfs fixes this.
i got the new build 16/6
well i got the new build 16/6 and still no WIFI working... do i have to update before i run the xandroid?
New user here, I'm also having the exact same issue.
Phone: HTC TIlt 2 (gsm)
windows Mobile 6.5 Professional
CE OS 5.2.21849(Build: 21849.5.0.63)
CPU: Qualcomm 7201A
Rom Version: 1.59.502.3(67150)WWE
Radio Version: 4.48.25.20
-every time wifi is enabled it displays the scanning icon for a few seconds and than pops up a message saying unable to scan for networks. The message will repeat two or three more times and than wifi shuts off.​
I've tried the all of the 6/16 builds (2.0.1 Eclair, 2.1 AOSP, Sense etc.) as well as the 6/06 and several of the older builds Even the 3/01 builds when wifi was first working. In fact I also tried adding the device's MAC to the startup.txt with those builds, and the current ones. I've tried battery fix free builds, so I dont think that is the issue.
I ran both a .cab install with the Project Android launcher, and the manual install booting with haret.exe.
I updated to the latest rootfs, zimage, and initrd. And I deleted my data.img after every update
I'm still using the stock rom and radio. Although I have seen other users with the same specs who have working wifi. I'd like to avoid flashing a new rom and radio to the phone if possible, but I suppose it will be my next step if i can't find any other fix.
Any thoughts on what I'm doing wrong? Did i miss something stupid?

[Q] Wifi not working after 3588 update

Hey,,
So I received my G tab today and connected it to the internet and downloaded the update (Tap UI V.1.1-3588).
However, after the update got applied, when I try to turn on Wifi it says error. I tried to restart the device twice and on both times the wifi worked and actually connected to my network but then disconnected and went back into displaying the error in matter of seconds. I have searched the forums but it seems no one with stock Rom have had this problem.
Thanks in advance
I had issue with the stock fw, never ever after 3588 was ok, even when reinstalling
Try a new firmware. Maybe

I've got the same issue here. After restart I have Wifi for a couple minutes then it disconnects and errors until the next restart. This is my second G-tab and my first one works great.
P.S. Other ROMS didn't help my condition so you may want to pursue return before attempting Rom upgrade. I'm back to bone stock and still not joy.
It works now !
All what I did is close the wifi as soon as it starts, gave it a minute then turned it on.
Now I'm not sure if I should do this each time i boot it up, but, it works !
Try doing that, maybe it was by chance that it worked with me .

wifi problems

Hello
First of all, sorry my english
I had installed on my Gratia the version of cyanogenmod 7.2 that comes in that thread
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1430267
concretely 2/10/12 revisión
It works perfectly, but there is a little issue with wifi
When i connected to a wifi point and i exit from its range, and enter in other wifi range that i had stored in my wifi connections, phone not connect automatically to that other wifi while phone is locked. but i had to connect it mannually unlocking the phone.
In the original rom, when i was near my home, for example, phone connects automatically to my home wifi
In other hand, when i connected to a wifi and the wifi not detect activity, it disconnect from acces point, although i have put to never the sleep polytics of wifi. This problem is solved partialy because i install an app from market that make a ping every minute to a extern ip, then wifi detects activity and no sleeps.
A friend tell me that there is an update called "baseband" that update the part of android that controls radio connections, and this update can solve this problem.
I search that update in xda forums and find this thread
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1153385&highlight=baseband
but when i try to update it with clockworkmod recovery it tells me that the update is in an old version previous to android 1.5. (amend) and abort the process.
I dont know how to solve problem.
Thanks
