[Q] Lost wifi after flashing CyanogenMod7 - Samsung Galaxy 5 I5500

I just flashed my friend's i5500 with CyanogenMod 7, latest release, and I'm having difficulties with the wifi. He has the i5500 from Virgin Mobile.
We can't connect to any wireless network anymore, I tried several basebands. Does the baseband makes a difference for the wifi?
Everytime we try to connect, it says either not in range (as it cannot see the wireless network), or it tries to connect and quickly says disabled.
The router is an AirPort Extreme (oh the irony), also tried to connect with another router, still same issue. We tried with a couple of other Android phones (some with CM7) and it doesn't work.
We had a similar problem using a stock 2.2 ROM from the US, so I'm pretty sure it's the baseband.
What baseband do you recommend for a Canadian I5500?
Thanks!

[Q] New Firmware likes Blackberry?

Did anyone try tethering with the new firmware to BlackBerry? Any changes. I want to try it out, but no BB here since it bricked. Waiting for a new one from my company.
tried through USB, system gets the DUN, but gets no internet connection.
T-Mobile the Netherlands with a Bold9700 on OS6.0.0.413
Same. I get the DUN, but same Unable to Connect error. Bold 9700 os5
I tried with my 8110 Pearl, and it worked fine. I got the unable to connect error, but I restarted both devices (battery pull on bb) and it started to work. However, I had to restart both devices again if I wanted to re-tether. Hope that works for you.
Although on a side note, tethering works much easier on my other phone, a Sony Ericsson TM717. It just connects by PAN, and away I go.

[Q] 2.3.3 fido 2G radio trouble

Hello, I have a strange issue with connecting to the fido network on the latest android.. I live in a valley and the signal wasn't the greatest although it used to always work perfectly .. I could be in my basement etc without any troubles . Now it keeps connecting and disconnecting on me with any subtle movement. (edge /2g), sometimes it doesn't even find the network or sometimes it says that my sim cannot be registered on the network. As an example I have 3 bars but my phone state says emergency calls only..
Although if I go into town and connect to 3G it works perfectly with no disconnections at all... I've tried cleaning the connectors, the sim itself, even swapped the radio itself.. tried different roms even.. tried reflashing the baseband..
There are several 3G tweaks although never came across any 2G ones..
Might anyone have any ideas what I could do? Could it just be that because there has been no official release of 2. 3. 3 for fido or Rogers? I'm truly stumped...
Any help would be truly appreciated.
Thank you..

[Q] Internet connection lost after some time...

Hi there,
I have a Samsung Galaxy S2. For some weeks now, it simply looses all internet connectivity over cellular networks (not over WiFi!). This seems to happen more often if I loose the connection to a wifi cell and it should be forced to make use of the cellular networks internet. One symptom is that the cellular network bars are still there (I can even make phone calls), however the E / 3G / H symbol disappears...
My current solution is to switch to airplane mode and back again. I so far tried a couple of different roms and modems, however none seem to solve my problem... Does anybody know how to fix this?
Thanks in advance!

Give more info please...Phone Model,Kernel,ROM,Modem.Make a screenshot of settings.And I think you just simply lose signal.I have S2 too,and mine never loses connection.However,before I turn on the Data network,I have full signal(4 bars).After I turn it on,I only have 1-2 bars.So I think the 3G signal isn't strong enough.
Thanks for your answer.
I have tried different combinations of Resurrection Remix 3.1.1, 3.1.3, NeatRom Lite 4.7 and both Omega AOKP and AOSP releases, using also different kernels.
The strange thing is that i was on RR 3.1.1 for half a year now and never had a problem and it suddenly started a month ago, so its not just a signal loss - the S2 simply doesn't use cell-based internet. After experiencing the problem I started switching ROMs, always doing a full wipe and yesterday even a ROM wipe.
Today I switched to modem xxls8, before I was on a newer one (the ones which came with the corresponding roms) and am still evaluating if this changes anything.
I am currently evaluating if this is related to using WiFi or the phone also looses cell-based internet if I do not use WiFi at all.

For me this does happen but it's specific to my network provider, all others work flawlessly. And usually in my case waiting a couple of minutes or restarting the phone gets it back working again. Try using an other sim and confirm whether it's your network provider's fault.

Hi, I've the exact same problem, same sintoms. I have to reboot the phone to get data connection back when I'm not on WiFi.
I've tried changing the modem and the kernel but no luck.
I'm currently using Neat lite 4.7 with Apolo kernel 4.7, and I've unlocked the phone with galaxsim unlock 9 months ago and I've never had this kind of problems.
By the way, I don't use any kind of tasks killers.
Thanks

May be, the problem is with your sim card.

Vido mini 3G tablet help

Hi clever android folks
needing some help..
I buy a year ago from dx.com a tablet called Vido mini 3G,,, its been really good tablet once I got it rooted and
xposed added etc
but this week I decide to try its hotspot feature since our home wan went down and had to switch to 3g and
wanted to share same SIM card data package with other devices like win8 and other androids
the hotspot aka wifi tethering just fails. it connects but stuck on obtaining ip and if manually give a ip it says connects
but no throughput happens.
has anyone got one of these tablets with JB 4.2.2 image from 20131119
and had same problem and found a solution
i suspect kernel or firmware issue.. like bad wlan driver??
the USB tethering works fine though
or better still is there a custom rom for this model I see a few for kitkat for vido N70 but I dont think its
the same hardware.

Mobile hotspot/tethering not working

Today I tried to use my phone as a mobile hotspot and couldn't get things to work fully. My laptop would connect via wifi but would not connect to the internet and my phone didn't show any connected devices. I tried tethering with similar results.
About three years ago this worked just fine on my phone when I needed to use it last time. The main differences now is I am using windows 10 and newer version of android. Build G900TUVU1GPE1 of the stock firmware. I do have it rooted using the Odin method described in another thread. Also I am on the 30$ t-mobile plan from Walmart if that matters at all.
With this information is there anything else I can do to make the my phone work as a hotspot?
