I've got CM6 on it, and every once in a while the power goes out, the battery eventually dies, the power comes back and it boots up but no wifi. I have the thing in a faraway place and I get to it via ssh, so it's annoying to have to go manually turn on wifi when it reboots.

Is there a script somewhere I can run in userinit.sh that will turn on wifi?

  • Do you have Flight Mode on, by any chance?

  • yes I do. I don't wanna burn the battery up as I have no service on that phone.

  • Yeah, I get annoyed by the same behavior on my (mostly stock) Vibrant. Interesting that they didn't change it in CM.

There's an APP to workaround that issue, Wifi Fixer available for Free from Google Play Store:

Wifi Fixer is a low-resource background Service that maintains your wifi connection automatically and works around several bugs in Android wifi.

  • herm, it seems to do everything but the one thing I want: turn on wifi automatically upon reboot. Or am I missing a setting somewhere?

  • @stu I Can't test the APP right now, but if you can't find an option to make it run at system startup, you can install a Startup Manager, to add and enable it to start with system boot.

  • oh, the app runs at startup, I was all excited that my dreams may have come true, but it never turned on the wifi.

  • @stu You may also have some other app installed that prevents the WiFi from connecting... I've got a battery saver that does just that!
