I picked up a NC over the weekend and followed the steps to get CWM on SD and ran manualnooter to root then I installed CM7. everything seemed fine except after connecting to WiFi it never seems to actually connect very long and when it does connect its very slow. The most success I have had is when I connect to my hotspot running on my Inspire 4G. Is there a fix for WiFi or should I just start the process over and format the system, data and cache under mounts and storage. When it works its great but the fact is it does not work a lot more than it does. I have not even successfully opened twitter or facebook but I have gotten my gmail 2 times but the rest of the time it times out loading conversations.
I'm having an issue with recent CM7 nightlies in that redirecting hotspots (hotels, restaurants, trains) don't work anymore. On first access, I used to get the "Don't misbehave" click-through, but now I don't get anything, just the "web page is unavailable".
Anybody else seeing this?
Try going into wifi settings and click "never" sleep. Go to wifi settings, hit the menu button then sleep policies and click never. Worked for me.

I will give this a shot once I get home this evening, Thanks.
Just a thought, are you connecting to a real router or an adhoc network?? if its to an ad hoc network there is some patches you need to look for
There is a know issue with CM7 stable and nightly builds ( based on 2.6.29 kernel) where using WPA2 AES encryption causes drops. The obvious workaround is to switch to WPA TKIP encryption if possible. The bug is said to be fixed in the CM7 beta 3.1 with the 2.6.32 kernel.

Is anyone else having intermittent drops while connected to wifi? I've noticed my wifi drops and reconnects especially when there is heavy wifi usage... I've tried TKIP and AES with no better luck with either one.

wifi
last night when i was trying to download an app from marketplace?
Yeah, I've just started noticing that. It wasn't doing it most of yesterday and I was using it pretty heavily. It started last night when I noticed both the 3G and wi-fi icons were on. I restarted wifi and it still showed up like that, so I rebooted. Now it seems like it's always on 3G when I pick it up.
What kind of router are you using?

I used to have this problem regularly with mine and my girl's Droids on 2.1, and appeared to be related to using secured wireless networks. I was able to set up a test wireless network with no security and the disconnects stopped happening. Switch back and 5 to 15 minutes later I was disconnected again. I never found a fix for it on 2.1, but the problem completely went away with 2.2.
Unsure if they're related, but from what people are describing, this sounds exactly like the issues I used to have prior to rooting/2.2 on our Droids.
I noticed that it was with wep encryption only. I looked through wpa and etc and there was less dropage. Now, i don't know if your all aware, the ipad does the same thing. The only place i seen it hold up well was the wpa and the hotspot app on board.
I wonder if this is just the new radios and modems in these devices?

OK. Let me start by saying I'm not an expert but I may have found a solution. Go to wi-FI networks and go to wireless settings. Then click on options hard key and choose advanced. then choose Wi-Fi sleep policy and set it to never.
So far so good for me. Let me know if anyone has any luck.

Yeah, I'm still having major issues. My phone will drop WiFi very often. Im going to try unsecured next. I've tried changing from tkip to are, tried turning off the sleep function... nothing. It happens most frequently when I'm doing heavy traffic like from or two another computer, where it maxes out the bandwidth capabilities of the phone...

Have you double checked not only the advanced settings under Wifi for always on, but which battery profile you're running? The default profile is the Smart one, which disables wifi/3g after so many minutes of being idle after peak hours.
i will try this thanks i do use the smart profile
I read several articles and then under wireless security changed the WPA Algorithm to TPIK and have not had a drop or WIFI issue since. Let me know if it resolves your issue.

Iv been having the same problem as a few others where when I turn on my Wifi sometimes it will connect within seconds and other times it will be stuck on 'optaining ip address'.
Im currently on redpill v4 with kholks 1.2ghz kernel but have switched between different roms and kernels and it wont stop!
The other kernel I use is fauxs 1.3ghz kernel and can't find a certain fix for the problem

It's most likely a router problem, not a phone one. Look for updates for your router software, they might fix those kind of stuff
PS: You can always set up fixed IP addresses on your phone if it's still an issue.

The OP meant the toggle switch sometimes connects and other times gets stuck obtaining IP. You have to push scan manually to get the IP at all. Not a router problem as it is sending the wifi, but sometimes the phone is not registering its there.

No its not a router problem because it happens wherever I go, its not always happened, just since iv started flashing, when it says obtaining ip it can't actually be doing that because its not scanned and found any networks yet

I have a slightly different problem. When I'm at home on my network, I always connect, fine and dandy, with no interaction needed from me.
At work, we have an open network, but one that requires you to open a browser and agree to the terms and conditions before you can browse. That's probably not anything to do with the issue, but my phone will get stuck in a scanning.... connecting.... disconnected loop. It will never say obtaining IP address during this loop. And then all of a sudden, I'll look at my phone, and there will be the wifi bars in the header. It just all of a sudden decides to work. SHRUG.

something i tried and has seemed to work. if you go into wifi settings then press the menu key you will see an advanced option. in there is a wi fi sleep police. i changed mine to never from never when plugged in even though it was never plugged in and so far so good.
as the title says, my wifi acts weird on both AOKP roms that i've tried (stephen spear's AOKP pub, and the official AOKP mr1 build 2). wifi will stay connected, but the internet will just drop. i could be in the middle of downloading something and it will just stop downloading and i'll lose internet connection even though i'll still be connected to the wifi network. i can't recall if it did this on stock 4.2.1, but it's definitely done it on stephen spear's AOKP pub build and the official AOKP mr1 build 2. i even tried franco's latest kernel and it still does it.
does this happen to anyone else, where it stays connected to the network but loses internet connectivity?
Massive 4.2 problem. There's a Google bug report thread with about 1, 000, 000 people moaning.
Reboot is only thing that works for me.

This happens to me on one public Wi-Fi router I use. What I see is that android does not handle long breaks in data transmission caused by congestion, network delays, etc. Of course I see it the most on big downloads. The download will stall and will not resume even though other apps can access online content. This happens with this access point across multiple devices I have.

I have a N7 32G and an ASUS RT-N66U and had been having disconnection of my Wifi during use. Sometimes, turning on and off Wifi works but at spots in my house that's a bit further from the router, it will not connect. A few weeks back, rebooting my router helped for a few days and same problem occurred again. Then I tried static IP, and that helped for a few days. The latest test I did was to increase the "Network Key Rotation Interval" on the N66U from the default of 3600 to 7200. Crossing my fingers and hoping that this will finally solve my disconnection problem. My Wifi is set to 2.4GHz band, Wpa2-personal AES.

Temporary fix:
I have the same problem and the temporary fix is wifi advanced settings - advanced - and turn wifi "always on" to "nerver", reboot your device in recovery and clear cache , reboot and go back to advanced on wifi and switch back to always on. It will work fine untill you shut down or reboot your device, in that case you'll have to repeat the steps.
Hope it helps. We should see an update from Google soon.

Just got the phone today (upgraded from a Sensation 4G).
This phone connects to my home WIFI fine.....and then once it sleeps for around 10 minutes and I wake it up, the wifi connection is gray (instead of blue) and I cannot access anything on the internet. I have to disable WIFI on the phone and re-enable it and it's fully functional again.
What's going on? Fully stock, 4.2.2
I do notice the IP it's pulling is a 172.27.35.x.....whereas my network is configured as 192.168.0.x
What's going on here???

When I manually enter in my network settings (rather than DHCP) and set it as a 192.168.0.x value......everything is fine.
What's going on where it's pulling these 172 values? Never had an issue like this. Thanks!!!
Have you unlocked the Developer Options yet? If not, goto Settings -> About Phone then tap build number 10 times to unlock. Enable "Stay Awake" in the Developer Options and connect your phone via your PC. Observe your wifi connection and get back to me
EDIT: How complicated is your home network? Are you using your router as a straight forward access point?

Running DDWRT.....very straightforward. Nothing complicated. I have Kindle Fire HD's......HTPCs.....etc running without an issue. All DHCP. This Nexus 4 is the only thing that has ever had issues.
The thing that I'm not understanding.......why is it being thrown a 172 IP address unless I turn DHCP off on the phone? Cuz as soon as I set it static (to a 192) it works fine.
Hmm DD-WRT, I'm going to hazard at a guess and say you know what you're doing when it comes to networking so I won't insult your intelligence or anything. But, if you're willing, try playing around with your router's DHCP setup before doing anything else and see how your phone goes by trial and error.
Come to think of it, unless anyone on these forums has experienced this before, trial and error is the best way of understanding. My best guess is the issue resides within the code of 4.2.2 FW. Hypothetically and possibly inadvertantly it has already been debugged for use on a custom rom. Some of the apk's found on the app store may shed some light onto the issue. WIFI Fixer apk may be help

Right, so surely it is an issue with the phone, which firmware are you using Roi? If it's 4.2.2, nandroid backup then flash a custom rom of your choice and see what happens with your wifi issue

If you are receiving IP address that's not defined by your router then you are getting it from somewhere else.

Do you have your "keep wifi on during sleep" setting at always? If you've already eliminated that as the issue, try wiping the delvik cache in CWM. I had a similar problem once when I used CM9.1, wiping delvik cache solved it.
If there's no joy, copy and post up a logcat or consider a custom rom like aokp 4.2.2 build 4 :good:

I think it depends on your router.
My home wifi is sporatic when it comes to connection but at work, it's flawless. I venture it maybe hopping frequencies? When you are not getting internet/data, can you toggle off and then on in the settings and then try to open up google now? Will it refresh immediately then?
No such issue here since november 2012.

I am on PA as well with stock kernel. I am thinking it's a wifi band issue. I am going to test out using 2.4 only at home to see if that works or not.
Like I said in my previous post, my work wifi (2.4GHz) works with no issues, but at home (unknown ghz right now) it stops connecting until I toggle wifi on and off. I am on WPA at both my work and home.
EDIT :
So far so good...I have been connected to my home wifi by switching the frequency to look for 2.4GHz only. No disconnect issues to report.
