wlan/wifi connection dies and requires restart [not relevant]
asked 2014-01-05 14:20:47 +0300
Need to restart phone approximately once a day because wifi dies and just shows a star on the signal indicator
does not work, connman gets in a state where it cannot establish any connection, I don't know if it crashes dbus... last time (an hour ago) I was unable to side-swipe some apps including settings I did not want to close but events-view worked and from there I went back to console to reload the kernel module as I was in the middle of showing the device to someone... nothing helped in the short time so I rebooted.

There are a lot of questions regarding connection issues, see https://together.jolla.com/question/6113/lots-of-connection-errors-while-on-wifi/ and https://together.jolla.com/question/4047/wifi-issues-sometimes-keeps-disconnecting-and-reconnecting/. If you think it is a duplicate, please close.

chemist ( 2014-02-06 12:29:48 +0300 )editSettingsI've seen this problem a couple of times since I upgraded to 1.0.5.19. In my case the symptoms are a bit different: the WLAN icon doesn't show up at all, and if I go to Settings, System, WLAN and do "connect to Internet" it just says "Oops, couldn't find any networks", same for "search again". If I run 'ip addr' in Terminal, it says that interface wlan0 doesn't have an ip address, flags are No-CARRIER, BROADCAST, MULTICAST, UP, LOWER_UP and state is "DORMANT" (whatever that means). Going offline / online (flight mode) doesn't help either. However, doing (in Terminal) devel-su; rmmod wlan; modeprobe wlan helped (before I found that one I had to power-cycle the Jolla).
