Hi, I've searched the forum but have not found a solution hence my post.
I've been using the Nexus S since december and the wifi has been working fine. Normally when you switch the wifi on and it connects to a network the "E" edge symbol goes off and the wifi symbol becomes green and all works well.
Recently this has stopped happening. When I switch the wifi on it connects to the network but the wifi symbol on the top status bar remains grey and the "E" remains and i'm not able to use the internet at all.
The only way to get the wifi to work is to manually switch data off.
I'd appreciate if someone could help with this.
thanks,
Sid
im sort of having a similar situation i think since the update, my 3g icon stays and wifi icon shows no signal but i'm still connected on wifi
This might not help with your issue but do you have the Wi-Fi sleepy policy set to never?
Is anything wrong with your router?

Are you running 2.3.3?

I don't think so as I'm facing this problem at home, work and a friends house all places where I could connect earlier.

It controls when your wifi goes to sleep. By default it shuts down wifi when your screen goes off. To prevent that you need to change it to never.

No I'm not.... Haven't received the OTA to 2.3.3 yet...
sometimes when my router is playing up the 3G symbol comes back along with the wifi symbol... i guess as its trying to access both.

This helped me so thanks! I was wandering why 3G was on for a second when I turned on the screen.

First, as you can assume, i have the HTC Hero...since i was not satisfied with the 1.5 version ( android ) i updated it to 2.1 ( Eclair version )..now the problem is that when i add the APN settings, it starts the 3G network and i don't have any option to "close" it...on the 1.5 version i had a the Wifi, Bluetooth and i think Data connection, but now only the Wifi, Bluetooth... so in a summary, i can open and close the wifi and bluetooth but i can't regulate the 3G network, when i set it, it starts and there is no way to turn it off...
So does anyone has an idea how to solve this?
Thanks in advance
How about when you hold the power button, do you get the "Mobile Network" option to select there?

No, just the silent option, airplane, reboot or turn off...
The irony is that when i turn Wifi on, the 3G also turns on...but when i close the wifi the 3G still works...
It seems i have the Nexus One software on my Hero, i received a mail from google, welcome to the world of Nexus one... OMG...

Maybe ask in that thread.
Or flash a diff ROM and see if you still have the same issue.

Im using MCR3.2. (Link in my signature). Fast and stable,... No issues whatsoever. But it is still only an Android 1.5 ROM. I'm planning on adding the 768mhz overclock kernal to it tonight, hopefully will fly like a Legend then.
Ooops,... Sorry
You not the only one with this puzzling problem wkulen! Same rom as you, and it seems I can't close 3g even with that APNdroid is set to be off! It looks like it still using data from 3g - hope not otherwise it could be a costly mistake!
i've got the opposite problem...
ROM: current official...
My 3g or data internet connection sometimes doesn't turn on when I switch off the wifi. But it happens most of the time, but not all the time. What I normally do everytime is to go to Settings/Wireless controls/Mobile network settings/Network operators - and I "select automatically". Then my network data kicks back in. It's a hassle but I don't know what else to do.
no matter what i download its always paused.... please help. when i restart it pervious download goes thru but if i try to dl something else it says paused again..
try connecting to wifi...sometimes that helps. or reboot your phone. this could be caused by a market overload or your data reception might not be strong enough in the location you are in.

No problem
I have N_01.77.33P radio flashed on my phone and I've attempted flashing CM9 it. It seems great however wifi is not working.
I can't post this on the original thread (10 posts threshold) but if anyone is facing same issues or if this has been reported already (couldn't find if anyone did), please let me know?
I have Jan/21 version on it.
You sure you installed the one for atrix and not sunfire (photon)?

Unless the name is misleading I'm pretty sure...
I've downloaded this:

UPDATE:
3g/hspa will work no problem. bluetooth seems working as it'll at least turn on.
Did it work on yours?
I am on the same ROM and wifi is working fine

Works fine on my Bell Atrix. Might be a dumb question, but did you re enter your wifi credentials after the flash? What exactly isnt working? You turn on wifi and you cant see any networks? or you cant connect to the internet once you are connected?
You have to reboot the phone after you turn on wifi. This only needs to be done after the initial install.
Once it reboot, wifi should work.

I don't even get to enter wifi credentials, I try to enable it and it says "Powering Wi-Fi on..." and stays there.

You're absolutely right. Guess I skipped this step... Who would figure you'd have to reboot after the first boot lol.
Connected to wifi now!
I had no problems at all with wifi. It worked on my first boot.
I tried out both ROMs today (cm-10.1-20130714-Albinoman887-glacier and cm-10.2-20130824-Albinoman887-glacier). They look awesome, but my MyTouch 4G could no longer see 5GHz wifi APs afterwards. I reverted back to Gingerbread, and I could see 5GHz APs again.
Can anyone else corroborate this? If it's not just my phone, I'll patiently wait & see if that gets picked up in a future update.
Big thanks to Albinoman887 and everyone else for working on this in the first place.

are you changing the Advanced wireless settings under wifi to auto, 2.4Ghz and 5Ghz and seeing if that makes a difference?

Hm... it won't accept a 5GHz setting. If I set it to 5Ghz, hit "back," and then return to Advanced settings, it reverts to whatever it was previously set to (auto or 2.4GHz). Auto and 2.4GHz 'stick' just fine.
I think its a problem in 4.3 they are complaining of similar issues in n4 forum but some have it some don't
But since u say in both I don't know

Gotcha, thanks for the info. I'll poke around in that forum.
it looks like the Albinoman887 roms are missing the fw_bcm4329_5GHz.bin in the /system/vendor/firmware/ directory.
its got fw_bcmdhd_apsta.bin
fw_bcmdhd.bin
and bcm4329.hcd (which should go in /system/etc/firmware/)
I think that might have changed in 4.3, since the guy also said he couldn`t see it in his 4.2.2 rom either. Maybe that file is in the system/vendor/ section now?

I can confirm the same behavior on my MT4G. I'm using 4.3, the August 23rd build.
Still auto reverting to 2.4ghz on latest carbon rom

S7 edge was working perfectly. All play store updates and the Samsung security updates installed.
Now after a few minutes on the internet while using Wi-Fi and the Wi-Fi symbol has an exclamation mark next to it. Internet access stops. Switch Wi-Fi off and on again and I get a few minutes use again.
No other devices have problems on same Wi-Fi, internet works fine on mobile signal.
What the hell is going on ?

Yeah I've had problems with 5ghz. Turned on hotspot with 5ghz only and the other device couldn't even list it and then switched back to 2.5ghz, everything was normal again ?
Still problems on a less cluttered frequency grrrr.
