I have been experiencing the problem below and I am wondering if this is a HoneyComb issues (which can be fixed in the next Android OS release) or Asus specific issues:
1). Wifi
Many times, when my Eee went into sleep mode and I turned it on, it will show that there is no Internet Connection. Going to the Wifi Settings shows that it's in "Scanning..." mode and the previously configured access point is shown as "Out of range". I had to turn OFF Wifi and turn it ON back again and it will immediately connect to the Access point. This will also happen for sure if I REBOOT my Asus
2). Password
I setup "Pattern" as the password to access the Android OS and set it for 5-minutes delay. Problem is, there is just NO DELAY. The moment I put the Eee into sleep mode and turn it ON again, the password prompt shows up.
So both problems relates to the Eee going to sleep mode. Anyone have these problems?
with rgds to wifi, have a read through this thread... it worked for me..

I don't know if it's only since my update to 3.1, but the Wifi Disconnect Policy doesn't seem to work.
I set it to Disconnect on Screen Off - but the pad is still tinkling away receiving email -- and still pingable across the WLAN.
Is anyone else finding this?

Yes I'm pretty sure I see the same. It is hard to be 100% sure as the battery use data seems broken, but I've seen wireless activity almost constantly from the asus to my router when the screen is off.
I also have issues at time with connecting to a network, it loops trying to get an IP address, turning the wifi off then on solves that problem, but it is a pain to have to do that....
I use JuiceDefender to disable WiFi when screen is off. I had already bought it for my phone where I want my data to be off at night while I'm asleep, so it didn't cost me anything to use it on my Tablet also. There is a free version you can try with few settings/controls. The paid versions add additional settings/customizations.
Wi-Fi will disconnect from AP after screen off 15 mins when Wi-Fi disconnect policy is set to "When screen turns off".
It's Android behavior.
Aha! Having done more tests (and being more patient ) It does indeed turn off after 15mins..
Cool.
(Would have been better if the setting description wasn't misleading...)
Hi,
yes after further testing it does indeed seem to turn off eventually. However once it is off it seems to have problems re-connecting when you turn the device back on again. I typically have to disable/enable WiFi to get it to work. Anyone else seeing this?

Yup - on occasion. About 10% of the time. Seems to be when I move between two different SSIDs (i.e. when I get to the office, or when I return home)
Would be happy to investigate, if someone could point me at any log/debug info that's accessible...?

I get that too
I now have a widget to turn off wifi. I turn it off when the screen goes off so that it actually turns wifi off (doesn't seem to disconnect for me either), and to turn it back on when I start using it again because it never reconnects properly :S
I have the same problem too. It keeps saying trying to get an IP address. Even I have DHCP running on the router, I changed the setting of home wifi on TF to be static IP address. Now, it connects all the time when waking up from sleep.
Hope that helps (at least when you are home).

same here. its been happening since I got my TF (launch date) Where on the TF do I set static IP address on the TF?
Go to Wifi setup screen. Press and hold on the wifi network you want to change. Then select "Modify Network".

Cool thanks.
I have noticed this a lot - I have found other threads with the same issue.
Every time I try to connect to any wifi network - I will have reset the tablet in order to make the connection. It will ultimately go back and forth from "Scanning" to "connecting" but never "Connected."
I noticed that 3.1 had a downgraded wifi driver, what gives? I never saw an improvement.
I have the same problem. Only fix I have ever heard anyone talk about is using a static IP address.
Same issue there. After a long period of "sleep" time, my tablet also has issues recovering the Wi-Fi.
However, resetting only the Wi-Fi (in parameters, uncheck Wi-Fi then re-check it) works for me and my tablet gets connected afterwards.
Switching into and out of air plane mode also seems to fix it for me... But it is very annoying...
This is a first time for this issue for me; my Wifi is scanning, but not connecting.
The settings look fine, I re-inputted the network passkey just to make sure, but it just doesn't connect...it just says scanning, though my home network is in the list.
My laptop can connect just fine as you can tell, I'm posting from it.
Can someone help?
Tried rebooting your modem/router?
I have this a lot of times waking up after sleep (I have the WiFi set to turn-off when the screen goes off)
Turn off then on the WiFi (wait a few seconds in between) resolves it.
(there are apps in the market where you can do this with a simple button press)
Well...I did reboot the router but had to go to work before I checked but it has to be the router...
I can connect just fine at work...
thanks for the suggestions...I'm glad it's working.
I have a problem with my Nook Color's Wifi.
I received my refurbished Nook on Monday, and installed cm7 that night. I've got it overclocked at 1.2ghz and running smoothly for the last 3 days without any hangups or any other signs of problems.
The wifi was working great until this morning. Now, when I turn my WiFi on, it hangs on the Connecting... notice under Wi-Fi, and it eventually goes to Disconnected, and none of the nearby networks show up. The message then continually cycles between Connecting and Disconnected.
I was wondering if this was a fixable problem? Or if this is a damaged hardware issue.
I've taken a (bad) cell phone picture of the WiFi screen where it shows both the Connecting... message and Disconnected one. The top network "Commodore" should be active, and both my laptop and phone are connecting to it just fine right now. I've attempted rebooting and turning the device off for 15 minutes.
I'm really hoping I don't have to return and exchange, because I really like the Nook Color, but without WiFi I just simply can't use it.
1. activate wifi
2. go to wifi scanning
3. remove one secured SSID
4. add a secured SSID: generally your own one.
It disable airplane mode and everything is back online.

This fixed mine too... weird
Anyone know why this does this? how can it permanently be fixed? CM7.2 ?
Rather frequently, one of my Transformers goes into a weird state, with wireless connected status showing no signal and no connection.
After opening the wireless status window, one is presented with never ending loop of "Turning off" "Turning on" "Turning off" .... messages. It happens at 2 different locations, using 2 different access points.
The only sure way to get out of the loop and recover wireless connectivity is to reboot the pad.
Any idea what might be going on here ?
Hi I'm having the same problem the last few days, not found any better way to fix other than reboot like you, a real pain. I am going to un-install some new apps I've put on, and see if they're the cause. Keep you informed.

If running an authentication scheme like WEP or WPA, double check that you have the proper credentials for your AP. Also if running something other than DHCP for IP address configuration, verify that your static IP address settings are correct. If something is improperly configured, the device by default will constantly attempt to establish a connection, but won't notify you of any errors, instead just silently timing out. If the connection settings are correct and the connection is successful for a while, but it is instead losing its connection over time, then it's likely that the AP is having problems maintaining and issuing DHCP leases.
Uninstall new Google map update fix the WiFi problem for me.

Did you have exact same problem of looping in "on-off-on-off.." fashion and it was fixed after gmap downgrade ?
My wireless settings etc are all fine - it works most of the time at both places, with 2 different WAP devices, till it decides to go into this weird @ss state... Plain DHCP configured IP, WEP auth in one place and MAC filter in another, 2 locations could not be more different from ea o.
I had the same problem when waking my Transformer from sleep mode.
What happens is that after the Transformer has entered standby or sleep mode and the Wi-Fi connection closes, the Transformer will not reconnect when awakened. The symptom is a rapid Wi-Fi connecting/Wi-Fi disconnecting message when examining the wireless settings. A restart of the device clears the problem and allows you to reconnect, until you enter sleep mode again.
Uninstalling the Google Maps updates cured the problems and returned the Asus Transformer back to normal operation.
I ran a test to see if the latest Google Map update was indeed the culprit. First since I uninstalled the Google Updates, I had not had a Wi-Fi failure to connect coming out of sleep mode for a period of two days. So I decided to install the update again to see if the Wi-Fi would behave. Well after re-installing the update, the first attempt to wake the Transformer from sleep mode showed the W-Fi problem again. The Wi-Fi would not connect and was quickly cycling between connecting and disconnecting. I again uninstalled the Google Maps updates and the Wi-Fi connected right up.
To me, obviously the latest Google Maps update injected a WiFi connectivity problem into the Asus Transformer.
Turning the WiFi Sleep Policy to "Never" is my temporary fix for this issue. The impact on battery life is negligible so far.
I'm having this problem too, I haven't tried to downgrade Google Maps yet, but I have found that there's a workaround that makes it connect to the WiFi without rebooting. If you put the machine in the lock screen state (and keep it there by moving the lock cursor once in a while), then it will eventually connect and you're back online without a reboot.
Had exactly the same symptoms, and as was suggested, uninstalling the google maps updates resolved the issue for me. Now to wait for google to get around to fixing whatever it is that they did in the latest update.
