Hi all, i installed gingeroonay latest version.. i'm very happy because allmost everything works very fine :D .. but..

i have 3g internet so that works, but when i try to connect to wifi, in 3 or 5 seconds,, it inmediately is turned on, then it tries it again but again it is turned on. So i also don't find my own home network or my neighbours' ..

Anyone who can help me? i just have finished installing all my apps. and stuf.. it works great but this problem is very anoying.

Should i reflash/factory reset,, that won't be nice.. but i rather do that then have a not working wifi..

But i quite like the gingeroonay very much, and don't really understand that kernel stuf.. etc, but still sucks that wifi doesn't work, tried wifi fixer and stuf

Is there a way to reinstall wifi settings or reset wifi ..??

I had the exact same problem you are experiencing.

I manage to find a workaround:

Install "script manager" from the Market without the quotes:

https://market.andro...s.scriptmanager

Open it and tap the menu button > New > New script and give it a name and let it open with "SM editor"

After the line #!/system/bin/sh type this:

chown 1010.1010 /data/misc/wifi/wpa_supplicant

click menu > save

now from the list find the file you just created and click and hold pressed over the file until the menu is open.

Choose:

Open As...> script executable

click hover the help button, to see the help about the icons:

basically after memorizing what each button does, you have to select "run as root" (the icon is identical to the super user icon if you have your device rooted), and the other option is "run at boot" (the shape of the icon is a mechanical wheel).

After that every time you start your android, wifi will work because that script is runned at startup.

Be careful not to remove by mistake the file of the script from your SD (you will need to have it their for this to work)

Hope it helps!

so it will be like:

#!/system/bin/sh

adb shell chown 1010.1010 /data/misc/wifi/wpa_supplicant

??

sorry my mistake.

edit the file and replace the line with:

chown 1010.1010 /data/misc/wifi/wpa_supplicant

it shoud look like:


#!/system/bin/sh

chown 1010.1010 /data/misc/wifi/wpa_supplicant

don't forget the run as root and run at boot options of the script

i've edited the previous post to correct the mistake

No problem, i'm glad it worked for you!

At least it saved you from the work i had and search i had to do to get it working.

Enjoy ;)

I've also been having problems with frequent disconnects - hopefully this fix will work. Am I correct in thinking that the 'wpa_supplicant' should be 'wpa_supplicant.conf' as the former was not found when I tried to run the script.

Thanks,

Darren.
