wifi Error - Motorola Photon 4G

after the latest update which is 45.2.7MB855.Sprint.en.US was shown in system updates, i installed the update but after updated my wifi wont turn on, it says error everytime I try to turn it on.
Note : Im using Photon outside US running GSM, I dont this this will make any difference right?

Actually it is the problem haha. When the phone turns on, it searches for a sprint network even if u set it to gsm only. And for some reason if it doesn't find a sprint network, it freezes up the 4G and wifi radios. Only thing that worked once in a while was put it on airplane mode, reboot. Wifi works then. Have somehow got it working alongside a gsm network a couple of times by trying to contact sprint servers while taking it off airplane mode but after 20mins, phone overheats and restarts. Not the most ideal situation. So no solution yet. Hopefully motorola/sprint fix it soon

Freeze SprintOmaDmPlugin.apk and you will no longer have this problem...
Oh, and this will also resolve the Activation screen after each reboot problem...

I don't think mine searches for sprint network because I had mine activated from sprint, and phone was working just fine before the update the wifi error came right after I updated, I think its the updatethat have caused it
Sent from my Transformer TF101 using Tapatalk

If I'm not mistaken, the update resets the activation. I know I read a thread somewhere that said this. I cannot be sure because mine's not activated.
Anyway, to freeze SprintOmaDmPlugin.apk, you'll have to download Titanium Backup. You also need to be rooted...
If you're not rooted, instructions can be found here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1217416

I use linsys WAG160N, link speed only 65Mbps

Hi, posting here to not create a new thread about this.
I have a Mopho and i am using it outside US, it doesnt give me much trouble after the initial loading screen "looking for network" and stuff from sprint.
I did the freeze SprintOmaDmPlugin.apk with titanium backup and it did work to eliminate the searching screen, however, the phone now never asks for my pin code, that means i cant connect to anything, i can easly turn back on the SprintOmaDmPlugin.apk but that makes the searching screen start up.
Is there anything that can be done about this?
Phone is brand new, stock everything just rooted.
Thanks.

use this patch correct wifi error

That patch does not work.

Motorola has posted the file, try reading the readme

[Q] No service [solved somehow but more questions]

I got a droid eris from a friend who switched to that apple thingy. It is still going to be a bit before I can get it activated, so I started playing with it. When I first got it, he had wiped and factory reset it, and it would connect to 3g and get signal. I skipped activation for now. Here's what I did in order:
I followed this guide http://theunlockr.com/2010/09/22/how-to-root-the-htc-droid-eris-unrevoked-method/ to get clockworkmod recovery installed.
I installed this rom http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=944430 and once again just skipped activation. I set up wifi and discovered the world of android
Today I noticed there were no signal bars and an "x" by them when I turned off airplane mode. On the lock screen it said "No Service". My verizon razr gets full bars so I know I'm in range. After trying a few things like reflashing cyanogen, I followed this: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=792026 and used the rom that also flashes the radio.
It's now un-rooted, clockworkmod is gone, and its on the stock 2.1 verizon firmware. It still says "No service". I'm at a loss. Did I permanently destory this phone somehow, or is there a way to fix this and get cyanogen back on and working with service?
Update: After trying activation about 10 times and constantly getting a no service error, I decided to try to manually program a verizon prl. I went to emergency call and did a ##3424# to go into usb programming mode for QXDM. Out of nowhere...SERVICE! I backed out and hit Activate and viola! Automated voice lady was there to tell me it couldn't activate(yet). I powered the phone down and put it on a shelf. I'm not touching the dang thing until I get it activated. Now I'm wondering a few things. First, what the heck happened? Second, after I get it activated, is there a chance this will happen again after rooting and installing cyanogen?
As soon as you activate it, it should be fine

Right, but the state it was in I couldn't activate it. I somehow randomly got it to be able to activate again if you see my update tho.
I just know from experience that when I forgot to pay my bill a while back, I did not have any service bars or anything until I called them up later that day and reactivated it. It seems like when you first got the phone for some reason even though it wasn't activated it showed that the phone had a data signal. I could be misinterpreting the issue though.

I've had that happen a couple times flashing themes.
Wiped data/cache fixed once other time never figured it out, just reformated sys/data/cache and flashed sbf.
All was back to norm then. :s

That's weird. But from a first boot 100% stock the phone still connects to the network. Otherwise there's no way to get it activated. So no matter what, when functioning properly on a cdma network it should have bars if you're in range of a tower. Now it is functioning properly, and I have signal at the initial setup and activation screen.

No data fix, this is how I fixed my phone

Aloha from Hawaii...
I was having trouble with no 3g service yesterday, and this is what FIXED it.. hit the menu/drawer button and click on the ACTIVATE icon.. you will see a countdown like 3....2....1 then you will get a ERROR (this is NORMAL, your already activated!) but it will reregister your phone with the network and your 3g should work fine!
I did this yesterday, 3g worked all day, then turned phone off, and this morning the 3g is STILL working!
Try it and see if it works for you!
ALOHA!
can u explain more i cant understand
I have never seen activate button on my phone. what are you talking about?
Lame ... Repost of info...
This is covered in the other ROM threads, also ##virgin# (or ##847446#) does the same thing as long as you are running a semi-stock or stock rom. Be advised neither fix will work on Gingerbread based ROMs. The best bet is to do this and then flash to a custom ROM and you should stay active and re-established on the Virgin network. If you are having 3G issues with a custom ROM, flash to stock and run the activation and then flash back to the custom ROM.
never actived
I've never activated 3G before
So you never activated your phone? What are you using it as, a wifi only device? If you can browse the web without wifi then your phones 3g is active even if you don't remember doing it.

Thanks, this is a good post for those having mysterious 3G problems. I never thought about using the activate app. ##virgin# never worked on my phone, even when I was on the stock rom. This might also help those having first day of new billing cycle 3G problems.
3..2..1.. look like a bomb not a phone..

Did you root and uninstall the Activate ap? Every VM670 should work with this right out of the box...
Be advised that VM is having random 3g issues today, so this fix may not work for you...

Anyone having any issues with 3G/2G switching?

I was just wondering if anyone has had trouble switching from 2G-to-3G and back? I'm on Orange and once I'm on 2G it won't budge to 3G or H.
I know the signal is there as when I force the phone into WCDMA only mode it picks up 3G but if that's not available it's obviously not able to switch back down.
Update: Okay, I've done both a soft and hard reset on the phone, switched it to WCDMA and back to Auto several times, pulled the battery out to do a few cold reboots, selected 'Orange' as my carrier manually and I'm STILL not picking up 3G after I've gone down to 2G. I don't really want to flash my phone via Odin as there's no guarantee it will work and I don't want to lose updates via Kies.
Any idea that to do?
Update 2: Just re-flashed using Odin as per the guide and it still doesn't work.
I really don't know what to do now
Update 3: After all of that it looks like it was bloody Orange's fault! There is a fault with the 3G in Bristol which is forcing people to use WCDMA only for now. Hopefully it'll all be fixed by tomorrow and I nabbed a fiver off 'em.
I Have Asked My Frnd About your problem! my frnd hasnt yet faced any problem !
There are extensive threads in this forum regarding 2g/3g switiching issues or connectivity issues..try and search it, maybe yours is having the same problem.

com.android.phone problem

Evertime I startup my phone with wifi on, the com.android.phone process crashes. I'm not able to connect to mobile network or enter my sim pin. If I boot the phone without wifi enabled, it boots normally. I've tried several factory resets, but the problem is still there. I've also tried changing simcard.
Anyone else with this problem, suggestions? I'm afraid I'll have to return it for repair/exchange.
Btw this is a XT910, european version.

Yup I sometimes have the same issue, but not all the time. I just normally reboot and its sorted. Bit of a pain but not a major issue to me and since I installed the update its not happened yet. UK unbranded handset
Sent from my XT910 using xda premium
update? is that the one mentioned in the dev forums? Any idea if its going to be pushed over the air or is it only available via manual update?
(sorry to hijack, I also get this issue but rather than rebooting I go into the mobile network settings and just get it to scan for cellular networks and it usually comes back)
Yep, the leaked OTA update for the GSM RAZR in the dev forums does fix this issue - at least, it has for me so far. Also fixed a bunch of others I had.
Sent from my Motorola RAZR
cool.. any idea when its coming officially?
Your guess is as good as mine. Didn't initially sit too well with me since we don't have a shipped ROM to flash back to, but I figure, when an official OTA does hit, we can just flash it over this one.

ok, no worries.. will wait patiently with fingers crossed .. Phone working ok apart from a few quirks and at least we know there's at least some update out there (which hopefully moto won't scrap)

Had the same issue. Restarting without the wifi solved the problem. Thanks for the tip. Looking forward for an official fix!
Try clear data of phone app. It should solve the issue. If not. Creat a back up then factory reset.
I wgot this problem when update the phone and this way help.
i have the same issue. if this message comes, it wont get any cell connectivity at all. i tried to turn on flight mode and turn it back off to see what happens. but if i turn it on. i cant turn it off anymore. i am stuck...i have to reboot

Tank you ianford10, rebooted with wifi off and it works well...
Hoping in a fast update, I turn off the phone quite often to reset it...
If you don't care much about your settings you can always do a full wipe. It worked in my case. Kind of painful but you'll get a working wifi. You can always use some backup software (ex. Titanium Backup) to save your texts, settings etc.
I have this too. But it coz I install MotoHomeFix.app. After I uninstal it, my razr back to normal.

New update today PJ4

Turned my phone on this morning to a new update. Still 6.0.1 with a build number of PJ4. Not sure what it "fixes" yet but noticed a new bloat app called Fullscreen.
I received this update as well. Just to be clear, this is bootloader 4, correct? I'm not sure how to verify. I am about to flash you're U version you posted, and hopefully get wifi calling and texting working on it. You said you flashed back to at&t version, may I ask why ?
Yes, everything's 4 now.
I flashed back to stock att too get wifi calling and volte back that wasn't available on the U

I am about to do that as well
I like the U firmware, but that damn WIFI calling is too important for me ( My house and work have no cell service). Damn AT&T and not having a streamlined WIFI calling system. Do you use the samsung disabler app at all? i use it to pretty much remove everything.
Even though for me wifi calling seems to not work as well after the update.
I do the same with PDP, I disable all I can!
Here what's new
Opps, I rooted the other day and then this update hit, thought I could ignore it but it applied it anyways. I tried to flash the "unroot" files, API2 seems the latest available, but I can not flash those. Do I just have to wait for Pj4 files to be available to flash?
My WiFi calling seems to be working fine. I usually turn on airplane mode though then WiFi. Forces WiFi calling

At my work it used to kick on wifi calling as soon as I got there. Now it rarely does. I haven't ever needed to try the airplane mode trick but Ill give it a go.
I do it because I have the slightest hint of service. I forgot where I read it, but WiFi calling is for when there is zero service . The airplane mode works pretty great. Hope it helps!

It wasn't until this most recent update AND a cache wipe/factory reset that Wi-Fi activation finally went through. I have it enabled and it over rides my cell service regardless of signal strength and airplane mode state. It's been clear as a bell for me, however, I've only tried it over my home network. I'd imagine it wouldn't work too well over an open public or overloaded network but I could be wrong
