Hi all,
GT-I9100
version 2.3.5
Kernal I9100XWKJ2
GINGERBREAD.XWKI8
Just wondering I have the above phone, and ever since I bought it, I cant seem to configure my personal hotspot SSID and passcode, without it defaulting back to AndroidAP and default passcode
I enter in my desired SSID and passode, click save, and if I go to conect on laptop it will come up ok, but only that one time. If I literally go straight back into the configuration of wifi hotspot, it has defaulted back to AndroidAP
Very frustrating indeed!
Any help is appreciated.
Thanks

wow so no one has seen this issue before?
BUMP
Yes my s2 won't save,either. i tried with root explorer and in try to change etc/wifi and data/misc/wifi folders to read/write but i can't
OK so its not just my phone. Anyone got a known solution to this problem? I just updated to a new firmware and still the same issue.
Galaxy S2 not saving Wifi Hotspot config?
Hi, I just had this issue on my new phone. Most frustrating having to re-enter details, then a mate said have you ever cold loaded the machine after it's first boot up after purchase?
Powered the SII right off & re-started and the config now saves perfectly!
The S2 came with 2.3.5 from factory and i was able to change the wifi hotspot name, but since i rooted i started to have this issue too, i also tried upgrading to 2.3.6 original firmware and no luck, anyone have an idea to solve this?
Regards
*FIXED*
Just rebooted the phone with CWM app in recovery mode and applied "fix permissions" from the advanced menu, rebooted normally and i was able to change my SSID and password without a problem!
Hope this works for other users too
It didn't work for me, I'm on 2.3.5 too
Has anyone at Vodafone got a solution to this? I updated to 2.3.5 and my phone will NOT save the SSID and password either.
Same issue for me, everytime I find a new generated password. I'm starting to think that is not a bug but is meant to work this way...

Hi everyone.
I have recently upgraded my SGA from original 2.2.1 to 2.3.3 XXKPE and i have detected an issue when i try to use the WPA + AES combination. The phone detects the wifi but it tries to validate the password a few times and then it is disconnected...
When i tried to connect with the older firmware (Froyo 2.2.1) i could connect the first time but when i lost the connectivity my wifi changed it's state to error and the only way to reconnect was restarting the phone.
No issue detected with WEP or WPA + TKIP.
Anyone else has the same problem? If not, can you tell me your firmware version?
Many thanks in advance
Same situation: S5830 + ASUS WL500W works only with WPA TKIP. But with TKIP speed is limited to 54mbps. Android OS 2.3.4
Just picked up a Samsung Galaxy Ace running stock Android 2.3.4 (baseband S5830LUBKP7, kernel 2.6.35.7-perf-CL366939 [email protected] #1), and seem to be having this same problem.
My home wifi is set to WPA2 Personal+AES, and when the correct passphrase is entered, the Ace just continuously cycles through "Connecting... Disconnected", over and over.
If I drop back to WPA Personal+AES, I get the exact same thing. *However*, if I drop to WPA Personal+TKIP, the phone connects immediately.
I really don't want to use TKIP, as it has known exploits. Is there a known FOTA update for a US-market, unbranded Galaxy Ace that fixes this, or is there any known workaround except "don't use AES"?
try DDKQ6
after flashing DDQK6, reboot phone and enter PIN
then reboot again but in recovery and install CWM5
reboot and wipe data/cache/dalvik and reboot

Thanks for the info. I'm new to flashing phones, would kinda like to stay stock if possible, since this is my wife's phone, not my own. Am I correct in thinking DDQK6 is an Indian firmware? If so, what would differ from US-market firmware, and would I potentially lose any features or cause any unusual behavior by switching to it?

Just update it over the air from setting -> about/phone -> update.
Make sure you have backed up the data like contacts and sms.
Hey, hey!! Problem with wifi? I'm an expert on this But I came with bad news, though.
What I found out:
There's indeed a bug that prevents us from connecting to this kind of wireless (eduroam, in my case). Everything seems to come from a buggy version of wpa_supplicant, everything goes well but then, in the second phase, it seems to "forget" the password or something (I'm not an expert, sorry, can't explain any better) I've been trying to change it, but no luck.
I've tried most of the stock firmwares, and custom roms as well. No luck, still the same bug.
There's an app that claims to fix the problem. wifi ace if I remember well (advanced config editor). But it didn't fix anything for me. You may want to give it a try.
I was expecting for samsung to fix it, but I've lost my faith on it. Neither google seems to be doing anything, as the bug remains on android 4.0.
I can provide you with some links, in case you want to read more about. And please, let me know if you find something.

No need to be sorry. You're replying to a thread that's current, in that I replied to it with my own problem. (And I did so because it was the only thread that came up in the Ace forum on a search for AES, which seems to be specific to the problem. Didn't seem to make sense to start a new thread when this one covers the same topic.)
Hello all,
I'm on three uk and updated to 2.3.5 via Kies yesterday. All fine, a definite improvement to 2.3.4.
But there is a problem, when i go to portable hotspot settings the Network SSID has been reset as 'AndroidAP' and the password is something random.
I can change it, but it doesn't stick. Sometimes it will persist for that 'session' but after i close and exit the hotspot configuration it will get reset back to AndroidAP.
I've noticed a few other people have this problem, it seems to be caused by the permissions getting messed up on the /data/misc/wifi/softap.conf file (as seen http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1301996).
what i want to know, is there *any* way i can reset the permissions on this file or fix this problem without performing a factory reset or by rooting my phone? the feature still works, but it's really, really, annoying as i use it quite a lot.
is there any way i access this file via the sdk or in debug mode without rooting my phone?
please help!
Please help, I just installed the latest build Cyanogenmod 9 on my Galaxy S3 I9300. Everything works fine except that i can't get any kind of mobile data. I can make phone calls, send and receive sms but simply there is no 3g/HSDPA connection. Not even edge. I even tried changing my modem firmware and still nothing. As you can see in the image it recognizes the network and the type but it doesn't manage to connect. Am I missing something?
Are your network settings correct ??

Get your network settings manually from your provider

Big problem with cyanogenmod 9 Nightly
Hi, I have a Droid X thats rooted and all and i flashed the CM 9 shadow rom to the Droid X and when i start the phone up it boot loops for a while then when it finally comes on i try to activate it and i get this "Mobile network not available" code, i cant download anything, and i try to use my boot strapper i safely saved to my sd card it shuts the phone off and it factory resets everytime i power it back on. i also try to flash it manually using rsd lite but the problem wit that is i put it in debug mode and when i shut the phone off to put it in bootloader it factory reset and debug mode isnt checked. please help me im phoneless and broke.
I recently flashed CWM onto my uncles GS3 and rooted his current rom. I made a backup and then tried out a new AOSP rom, which we decided not to keep because my uncle did not like it. But now, returning to the old rooted stock rom, every time the phone disconnects from wifi, it completely freezes up on the lock screen. Pressing the lock button does not shut off the screen and instead just locks it. You are unable to unlock it as the phone completely freezes up. The only way to get into the phone is to double tap home to get into the voice commands, and then go to home from there.
But even after that the phone continues to freeze. I tried another ROM on his phone today, but the problem still persisted a while later. It all happens when the phone is connected to wifi, and you walk out of range. After which the phone starts to freeze up.
I'm totally unsure whats going on. I just flashed the rom again, and we are trying a clean slate with no restoring of any data. It may have started to happen after we installed root browser (just as a guess), but we could be completely wrong.
If this continues again on this rom as well (which is Revolution HD) Im going to go back to completely stock (rom & recovery), and hope it still doesn't persist there. If not then I am out of options, and I have no clue what to do.
Any help would be GREATLY appreciated. We spent so many hours today trying to resolve this.
Thanks!
Usualy WiFi problems are kernel related. Have you tried Siyah or another custom kernel?
If this will not help than returning to stock with all wipes is the best idea, this should resolve your problem. If not, than you can try to reset router or set static IP for s3. Also try to remove WiFi setting for your home network in the phone and set it again manualy or via WPS mode.

Thanks for the reply. This issue has been occurring between two different roms, so can the kernal still be an issue? Its happened with the absolute stock rom (w/ root) and Android HD Revolution.
My uncle said he would play around with the phone and let me know if it freezes again by tomorrow. If it does im going to wipe and stock.
Can anyone show me where to get the stock roms for the i9300?
I've downloaded and tried 3 different ones, but the phone never manages to boot up!

Same problem on Galaxy Note N7000, did your problem resolve by reverting back to stock because I've tried every possible option, to no avail?

Go into recovery and wipe the cache, I believe that was my problem.
Hi all,
I've been happily following the progression of ROM developments, since I got my P7510 (P4WIFI) and sampling a variety of ROM's up through the versions of Android. I recently upgraded to a 4.3 ROM and developed a problem...I could connect to wifi as always, but could not get internet access (wifi connected, but no browsing, play store, weather apps, etc.).
I worked my way back through a number of recovery backups, knowing that in all of them I didn't have this problem, but it remained.
In desperation, I unrooted and returned to stock and the problem was still there! I found a .pit file for the 7510, re-partitioned, formatted the partitions and reloaded the stock ROM...still no change.
Can anyone point me to a solution? I've googled myself stoopid on this one...
Cheers,
PF.

Try to toggle airplane mode on then off..not sure if it will work on our tabs...but it works on my epic 4g touch..this is just a work around though.
What stock did you return to...
I'll look around and see what I can find...
My first thought was it's a router issue. I've had the same thing happen to me and in the end all that was needed was a router reboot.

Thanks for the suggestion. I tried the airplane mode on/off, but it didn't help.
The stock version I'm on is Build number IMM76D.XWMPF (P7510XWMPF_P7510XSAMP1_HOME.tar.md5)... I believe the correct one for my country...? Not sure if that's a red herring, though. The problem occurred going from 4.2 to 4.3 and has stuck with every restore and rebuild I've tried since.

Tried the router reboot, no dice. Also tried connecting to different WAPs and the problem remains. I tried connecting to my SGS4 as a portable hotspot, which was working fine previously...identical problem...
