I installed the customs ICS Rom which came with Wifix Manager (1.2) and when I updated the application from the App it stayed 1.2. Now when I look up Wifix manager in Play Store it shows me I have an update available but after downloading the update i can't install as it shows me an error because of a wrong signed package. How can I solve this issue and update to the 1.3.1 version since there is no away of removing the 1.2 version which came with this ROM.
ROM: AOSP ICS (by Lord Clockan)
ROM: AOSP ICS (by Lord Clockan)
I had this happen with a different app. I removed the pre-installed app, and reboot. The market version then installed fine.
Just remove the WiFix Manager APK from /system/apps with a root explorer (ex. ES File Explorer) or "adb shell" and install the new version from Google Play.
I cant update the Wifix Manager. When I update through the app, it shows for the 1.2 update which i already have. In play store there is no update. I have installed and uninstalled and check with various roms. No luck so far. after applying the fix, I dial *#94349# and press call button, it says invalid MMI code or connection problem. I'm on viper s 1.2.1. Please help.
Troubles with installing WiFix
i am having troubles with installing wifix. i installed wifix manager and when i try to install wifix the app asks for root permissions, so i grant them then nothing happens. current version is shown as n/a. i tried installing wifix manager both from adb and market, but failed to install the wifix itself.
i am using nexus one with jelly bean from texasice.
i set the permissions to wifix as chmod 644, but that didn't help.
i would be very grateful if anyone could help me. logcat is attached.

I've just released an update to WiFix Manager to address some issues reported in this thread.
You can see the change log in first post.
Enjoy
Thanks for the update. Now there are no problems with installing WiFix. I can see the version 1.2. But it still doesn't work.
I wiped out the system and made clean install of WiFix Manager and WiFix and installation went smoothly. But when try to turn on Wi-Fi the Settings freeze, so I have to force close them. I tried rebooting and engaging WiFix by calling *#wifix#. WiFix gets engaged, but I couldn't turn on the Wi-Fi. I would really appreciate any help. Logcat is attached if it will be of any help.
Exact same problem ^^^
There is no V3.2 in GPlay?
Just keeps downloading v1.2?
Help appreciated...

Alright, people still saying it's not working on JB and I don't have any other devices (it's already working fine on my HD2 with a JB ROM.)
I'm calling for a volunteer to test a few things, send me the system logs, etc.
So I will be able to find where the problem is.

I am willing to volunteer. I have Nexus One and can do fresh install of almost any custom ROM. Currently I am using texasice's nightlies and WiFix works for me from time to time. I can perform the testing according to your instructions and send you the logcat.

OK, I updated WiFix (Current version is 1.21).
You guys may want to start with testing this one, all you need to do is to install WiFix Manager V1.32 and download the updated version of WiFix with it.

Nexus One
Jelly Bean 4.1.1 (Evervolv-Perdo-3.0.0-Nightly-20121004)
Done everything according your instructions. Fresh installed ROM, installed WiFix Manager 1.32 through adb. Pushed WiFix 1.21 through adb. Rebooted. Checked that WiFix Manager reads the version 1.21. Engaged WiFix through dialling *#WIFIX#. WiFix engaged and allowed me to connect to the network. Wi-Fi worked.
Once I have rebooted I turned on Wi-Fi without engaging WiFix first, so my Wi-Fi hanged, showing "Searching for available networks". I turned Wi-Fi and engaged WiFix, but that didn't help. I turned of Wi-Fi, rebooted and engaged WiFix and voila Wi-Fi worked.
I hope WiFix will continue working if I don't forget to engage it every time I reboot. I am attaching logcat. Thanks for your work.

205WiFi Fix for Android 4.0
Description
I recently found out many people in certain countries no matter what kinds of devices they're using, have issues with WiFi when SIM-Card is inserted.
I realized that changing the WiFi Country Code solves the problem and made an application that does this automatically on each boot and on network state changes.
Installation
It's pretty easy; first of all you should root your device.
Then install WiFixManager.apk.
Start WiFix Manager from applications menu and tap Install WiFix (allow SuperUser permission.)
Once installed, you're ready to go. The application will change the country code when needed. You can also invoke it manually by dialing *#94349# (*#WIFIX#) and pressing the call button (don't forget to press call button; it's not a MSL code).
Updates
You can check for updates and install them via WiFix Manager.
Known IssuesCode:Change Log: 1/14/12 WiFix V1.0, WiFix Manager V1.1: Initial Release 1/25/12 WiFix 1.1, WiFix Manager V1.2: Changed minimum SDK version and API Level to 3 Minor layout changes Minor bug fixes 1/30/12 WiFix 1.2, WiFix Manager V1.3: Added custom country code support 7/3/12 WiFix V1.2, WiFix Manager V1.31: Minor layout bug fixes Compiled with Android SDK 14 12/9/12 WiFix V1.2, WiFix Manager V1.32 Minor bug fixes (Device compatibility improvement.) Added reboot prompt after installation and removal. Compiled with Android SDK 16
Sometimes when you reboot your phone with WiFi turned on, you won't have internet access (you can't open webpages, download files etc.) even though it says it's already connected to your AP.
This issue can be fixed by turning WiFi Off and On or dialing *#WIFIX# as described before.
For ROM Cookers
By placing WiFix.apk in /system/app you'll have a WiFix enabled ROM.
If you're publishing that ROM, please include a link to this thread
Newer fix by XDA Member HTCZ715E
As of today, most of the manufacturers (including HTC and Sony) solved this Wi-Fi issue with their ROMs. Fortunately, there's no need for WiFix anymore.
For those who still have issues with custom ROMs and WiFix, try this.11
Hmm.. Upgraded N7 3g 2012 from 4.2.2 to 4.4.2 and got similar problem, wifix didn't help, so I tried "manual" method for wifixing. Looks like the only problem was in tablename. Option wifi_country_code moved (as for 4.4) from "secure" to "global" table of /data/data/com.android.proveders.settings/databases/settings.db , so general method forr changing country code still works.
I wrote a short script (tried to run as init.d - but it has no sense as country code is beeing read from simcard when all init.d scripts are finished), so i used free Script Manager - SManager (https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=os.tools.scriptmanager) to launch script after boot.
That's script code (just changed wifi_country_code location):
Also i've added sleep for 10 seconds for ensure that sim data is already read, and added wifi down - sleep - wifi up for reestablish network connection (as i'm using n/g network for old devices, so Nexus is connected in g-mode to my router when script is executed).Code:#!/bin/sh sleep 10 sqlite3 /data/data/com.android.providers.settings/databases/settings.db "INSERT INTO global (name, value) VALUES ('wifi_country_code', 'EU');" svc wifi disable sleep 10 svc wifi enable
Instruction:
1. Download sqlite3 binary from any source (I've got it from xda http://xdaforums.com/showpost.php?p=45442929&postcount=2) and move it to /system/xbin, set permissions 755 (rwx-rx-rx)
2. Save script to internal SD-card, f.e. as "fix_country_code.sh",
3. Install script-manager, that is able to run scripts on boot, and set to execute script with root rights (like on screenshot if SManager is used). Also it's possible to test script w/o reboot10
Hi everyone,
Here's few tips to help you get your wifi working:
Requirements:
Rooted android phone.
Steps:
1. Download Market Unlocker (Google it, as you might not find the APK on Google play).
2. After download is complete, open it and give Root privileges.
3. On last tab, pick USA T Mobile, and wait until you see "Your mobile have changed to T Mobile successfully".
4. Make sure Wifi is off and reboot your device.
Notes:
1. When you reboot your phone, make sure the wifi is off, or your wifi will freeze as usual.
2. after reboot or boot up, make sure not to enable wifi until you see your mobile signal working(Means the mobile
is not still searching for signal).
3. Market unlocker should change your mobile SIM Code every time you reboot (It will give a
notification). in case you are not sure if it worked, open market unlocker and pick USA T Mobile again.
4. Open Wifi and Violla.
happy rooting.4I was using this app on evervolv ics 4.0.4 and it worked nice.
Now i have switched to evervolv 4.2.2 and it doesnt work. It works if i tap on "install wifix", put my phone on airplane mode and restart it. Then i can use wifi, until i connect to the phone netwrok again. After that again wifi doesnt work.
Can you update the app?
And can you open source it?
Thanx a lot4
