[Q] Wireless connection failing

[zel69]

Hi, not a newbie (well almost). Had my Vega a while now, upgraded to Modaco r8 as soon as I got it and its been fine. But for the last week, when web browsing, if I don't click a link or otherwise use the connection for about 3 to 5 minutes, it won't connect through and says web page not available, even though the wifi icon at the top of the screen is there and on the wifi settings page it says I am connected. If I untick the "turn on wifi" and retick it the connection re-establishes.Have searched various things but can't anybody with the same problem. Anybody any ideas or solutions.Thanks in advance.

Hi there.

R8 is based from old firmware now (v1.08 i believe), if i remember correctly a stock firmware update did improve wifi. Not saying it should not be working, just might be time to consider upgrading your firmware to a newer base. I have not used froyo for a while now. Bar a few niggles, vegacomb is best. Honeycomb is just far better for tabs.

Sorry i could not help further.

Thanks for the reply ganjaman, if I flashed the modded stock rom, could I still use r8, as it all works (except the wireless, but as I said thats a recent thing). As from what I have read there are a few bugs with vegacomb still, so would want to wait till its virtually bug free

With a little bit of research, I've found the answer, yes I can. But if anyone knows of a different solution, please feel free to chime in!

No you cant. R8 is a full rom and will replace the modded stock files. If you want to stick with froyo, either use corvus sp1 rom or stock (from the advent website) with my add-on (link in my sig)

Last time i tried my add-on with the modded stock v1 it did not work. Not tried v2 thought.

I use vegacomb on a daily basis, and its fantastic. Your choice...

Good luck.
