Guest heretic2006 Posted December 30, 2009 Report Posted December 30, 2009 Has anyone found a permenent solution for the wifi disappearing problem? I think I found what causes it to disappear. When the wifi is turned off, or when one soft resets, if there is any program that needs to go on the internet, then grps will try to connect. Whenever grps tries to connect, it somehow disables wifi, and makes it disppear (you cannot turn it on anymore). Are there anyvways to correct this?
Guest ray1234 Posted December 30, 2009 Report Posted December 30, 2009 I don't notice this behaviour at all, I can turn on wifi anytime, maybe it is some software you've installed that crashed the wifi?
Guest Ender Psp Posted December 31, 2009 Report Posted December 31, 2009 I assume you're running WM6.5 (most people with wifi "disappearing" are). I do have the wifi problem, but it only happens in certain circumstances: - after I use the wifi. sometime after I turn off the wifi (normal use, sync mails, browse etc) I notice it disappears. I also noticed some other issue in the same time: Process Explorer cannot find any processes. - after I browse with Opera 10. Sometimes it just freezes the phone and after soft reset wifi is gone. Other times it disappears after I disable the wifi. Other times no issues. Anyway, long story short: There is no fix as there is no exact understanding on what's causing this. It might be a bug in the driver or the software or the OS.

It might be a bug in the driver or the software or the OS. I have hard reset the phone many times before I run into the solution of using winfiprofile here, it can indeed bring the wifi back. I still believe what I described before because whenever the warining of grps accessing the net occurs, wifi will be gone. Someone also mentioned that if you reset the phone without the sim card, the wifi will not disappear. I have had the phone for a couple of weeks now, and I like it very much (I owned ipaq 910 before, which is a piece of crap). This wifi thing is the only issue I have so far.
Guest corny2007 Posted December 31, 2009 Report Posted December 31, 2009 It disappears with Titanium Weather for me, if that helps!

Guest awarner (MVP) Posted January 1, 2010 Report Posted January 1, 2010 I think this is only certain ROM builds that have this issue as I've never encountered it. The only issue I ever had was the samsung wifi app kept forgetting my home network, fixed that by entering the settings on default W7 menu settings instead.
Guest CSMR Posted January 2, 2010 Report Posted January 2, 2010 I've had to put the wi-fi on permanently (including sleep mode) to get around this.

The solution of using winfiprofile (someone mentioned in this forum) can indeed bring the wifi back to life. It has nothing to do with sktools. I haven't hard reset the phone ever since. There should be a permenent solution for this though.
Guest Snow02 Posted January 2, 2010 Report Posted January 2, 2010 I'm on the i-920 and i had this issue before my last hard reset. It would consistently happen when I rebooted the phone with bluetooth on. I'm not sure what i installed to make this start happening, but I'm not having the issue presently.
Guest deepower Posted January 2, 2010 Report Posted January 2, 2010 i have this too, i use the mentioned wifiprofiles and after i press the apply profile button i can successfully switch on/off my wifi well. i dont think you really *really* need a permanent solution for this
