Hi i was just wondering if anyone else has the problem with their defy where the wifi drops out all the time the connection stays on but it stops working and i have to toggle the wifi off and on to get it working. Does anyone know how to fix this? Thanks
sorry,这个真不知道
I've got the same issue on cm7, to reproduce just try to download a torrent, your wifi will stop working almost instantly...

me too, the same issue on CM7.2 120102, but i've notice when you set the cpu settings on bootloader to default the wifi works fine

Motorola Defy CM72111116, german Froyo base
These are all faulty hardware, try any rom or baseband you like, restore your original rom and return to supplier.
There seem to be quite a lot of them too

No this is a CM7 problem too, has something to do with wpa supplicant

I bet if you used a stock rom for more than a few hours, you'd notice the same drop off.
If it was a cm7 issue with supplicant, other handsets would also suffer, it's all built from the same source.

Mine does it with cm7 and miui some builds are better than others. The latest miuiandroid rom seems the best i've tried so far it only drops out a couple of times a day. With other roms almost every time i use wifi for a few minutes

But it's still dropping, personally I would send it back. Moto issued flaky batches, they deserve a high return ratio.
The same issues affect their other phones too, check the atrix thread.

I would if it didn't mean sending it from aus to the usa and going back to a w810i Sony Ericsson dumb phone for at least a month or two.

No faulty hardware. It seems that if you use Gingerbread with the older (Froyo) kernel, sooner or later you'll run into this problem. Under stock Froyo I can easily download, say, more gigabytes without a glitch. I'v tried several GB ROMs (CM7, MIUI, Moto with GreenBreadMod) and all the time wifi sucked, no matter what settings I used.
Try Froyo or if you have red lense, try a Defy+ ROM (except those with the well-known WPA2-bug) and you won't get any problem.
I think it's a problem with the CPU setting of the CyanogenMod and other ROMs, because when I go to bootmenu and use default settings without saving obviously (800mhz defy default), after some days testing, the wifi works fine, for example, I could fully download 2 game data (200mb and 500mb) without getting a dropout, I think I've solved so far, in terms of speed is not greatly affected the navigation of the phone.
Just today, this evening I got my new Defy and later discovered this problem (I am on stock Eclair ROM), what I did was that I added my Defy's MAC address into my DHCP Reservations List which was found in my modem's settings page and it looks like the problem is fixed for now, I'll keep you guys updated if I overcome any problem. By the way I am using WEP encryption method which only supports b/g mode, plus I checked Enable auto IP option in Settings / Wireless Settings / Wifi / Advanced.
Hello,
I have the same issue (no matter of rom, stock 2.1,2.2 or CM7) and setting my router to BG and WPA2/TKIP solves problem. I think It's buggy hw from motorola and AES support. When I switch to AES or TKIP+AES wifi hangs after downloading about 20MB, sometimes just few MB.
I have wifi issue on my latest 7.2 nightly build, too.
So, it looks like, phone wants to connect to saved connections (wifi status is connecting), but there should be status "searching", and stays on status Disconnected. Pushing Search button, do nothing.
When I delete few saved connections, wifi could do "search", and after that, i can connect!.
I think, there is critical numer of saved connections, when it is riched, then wifi can't do search, and connect to any host.
did you try deleting wpa_supplicant?
No,
I've only disabled support for n-mode in tiwlan.ini. Will see if this helps.
Do you mean, delete /etc/wifi/wpa_supplicant.conf?
You think it'll help?
Hi!
Well, I have a very weird issue with custom ROMs and WiFi.
The history begins last sunday. I was using GingerDX wich is really great, but I had some problems with it, the most important was not being able to install apps in my SD card.
So, I switched to GingerXperia V22, this is a cool ROM too but I really don't like that my music lags when I turn my screen on. Also, the SE default dialer and Infinity view are bad and slow, but I didn't have the problem with WiFi, until I switched to XGin 6.2
Everything worked OK except for this:
El Brillantinas said:
I just realized a terrible and very weird error with this ROM:
I couldn't connect to The WiFi of my mate's office (where Im currently working). But the weirdest thing was the modem worked fine before trying to connect with my Xperia, but after turning the WiFi on, the modem just got busted and didn't work anymore!! So, no internet in the office computers, neither in my iPod, in my mate's smartphone, etc.! It was necessary to turn the modem off and then turning it on, and turning my X8's wifi off to make the modem working properly again.
Weird, huh?
I reflashed, and the error happened again.
So, I flashed back to the ROM I was using before (GingerXperia V22), and now the WiFi is working fine!
Anyone else with that same error or Im the only crazy around here?

I tried kuyaDROID and the same error happened.
I also did a full wipe... And nothing, the WiFi error remains on those two ROMs. So, Im currently using GingerXperia.
So, the question is: Is this really possible? And, is there any solution?
There may be some bug that's overloading it. Also was it the modem or the router? Cuz if it's wifi I would guess its the router but you said modem? I'd just use a different rom that works.

Guess is the router, where the wired networks are connected, it also gives the wireless signal.
As I said, Im sticking with GingerXperia, wich is not causing the error and Im connecting to WiFi with no problems. But I have personal problems with infinity view, SE's dialer and music lagging.
If is about a overloading bug, how could I fix it?
Im using stock kernel, btw.
To tell you the truth, I'm not actually that smart in this, but by overloading I meant that it might be trying to use too much data or something along that line, did it work fine over 3g?
Sent from my LG-VM670 using XDA App
Yeah, I didn't have any problems with 3G.
Don't really have any idea then, I've had problems with mange one device at a time but not fully crashing. Last advice would be that maybe the router has a limit to the number of connected devices it can have and your phone puts it over, try disconnecting one device then connect your phone

I already tried that, and the problem persists.
But this is a good excuse to read and learn eve more, it is a totally new problem for me hehe.
Thanks anyway, for giving suggestions.
I guess I'd try posting in your phones thread and the rom's also, might get better insight into the problem

To further assist you may I ask some questions;
1. What kernel are you using?
2. Have you tried connecting in other Access Point aside from the previous AP you are connecting with?
3. If using custom kernel did you delete all the modules in system/lib/modules?

1. Im in stock kernel.
2. Nope, I didn't try it. I don't have internet in home, but I'd try in my girl's house.
3. same answer than 1.
Thanks for being interested in this curious case.
If your using stock kernel then you shouldn't have to encounter those issues as most roms esp kuyadroid as you mentioned earlier is made for stock rom. I suggest trying into public wifi access and see if you could be able to connect. You have to have two or more access point to test with as router might have different configs than your girls setup.
Hi...
I had been using my tab for over 4 months without any issues. My wifi has suddenly stopped working (tab gets connected to the wifi but the the icon doesn't turn blue and the network is not up). I had recently updated to 3.2.1 but it was working fine for a few weeks on that too.
I changed my Wifi router security from WEP to WPA and also tried using static IP. I even did a factory reset (apart from the hard and soft resets) and I still have the problem. It is not rooted (and I don't want to do that yet) and since I'm not able to connect to the internet, I can't use any market apps to fix the wifi issue (even if there is one). Appreciate some help on this. Thanks.
This was happening to me all the time pre 3.2.1. Updated, sometimes it still happens but a lot less. I don't have my tab in front of me but I did find a Wifi widget icon. All you do is press it once to turn Wifi off and then again to start it again. You can probably find an APK on Google and install through your computer.
Kjy posted a wifi fix over in his rom. Install it. It was Acer official so I know it will work with stock. Having a similar problem and thinking about installing myself.

Yea but don't you have to be rooted to install that which the OP said he didn't want to do.
I am having wifi signal strength issue with mine as well. I think I am going to sell mine to get something else. It seems like these units are notorious for lie signal strength which sort of defeats the purpose of a tablet. When my phone gets significantly better strength that is bad.
I think it might be because of the metal back cover and a poor antenna.

Should I just go into recovery mode and install the specific file? Can you point me to the location of the fix?
Thanks.
Search this forum for the file... It's not hard to find. You'll need ClockworkMod to install it. Just flash on top of your rom, reset cache and (just to be sure) dalvik cache under advanced...
That actually only solves a part of the problem; the other part is the fairly weak antenna (just replace it, instructions are in this forum). The less intrusive solution is a repeater (~30 euro here in Germany).
Another good lead is to use a better WiFi AP. Cheap ones (particularly with those 10dbm antennas) tend to produce a lot of noise, which in turn triggers the driver bug (which seems to be the root of this evil) more often... this can be so bad it actually makes WiFi completely unusable (happened to me). The only solution to this is to spend a few extra bucks for some good router hardware (I use a Linksys/Cisco router and Huawei repeaters, all of which work fine).
Hi, as the title says, my GPS doesn´t work with cm7.
I already reflashed the ROMs and tried different ones (Neutrino 2.5p2 and Morrisoft 0.7).
I also reflashed the radio.
I have gapps and gps-status installed and I´ve already tried to re-calibrate it, download A-GPS data etc.
It sometimes finds 1 satellite, but thats gone after some seconds.
GPS did work on stock 2.3.4 Bell firmware.
did anyone have this problem, too and solved it?
I feel your pain. I have Neutrino 2.2 installed and the GPS takes a few minutes to lock and it is not as accurate as when I had the stock 2.3.4 AT&T rom. I have tried all the fixes already but nothing seems to help...
yeah, that´s the same problem i have.
I think i´m gonna try some other roms.
Same here.
I'm using a sportstracking app called Endomondo, which has an "Auto Pause" feature that automatically halts the time when I'm not moving.
This worked without issues on my old phone, HTC Desire (CM7), for over a year now.
But with my Atrix I have major problems using the sportstracker. During a bike ride, it always halts the time because the app thinks that I'm not moving.
It seems that GPS lost its signal very often.
Don't know what I can do here, also tried different roms, tweaks, radios....strange.
Is there any logfile I can analyze?
you should maybe try differents radios to see.
Have you try to wait some time 30sec/1min?
so which radio can i flash? I´m currently on
N_01.77.33P
Already tried. 30p and 37p att radio and europe 100.00R. Didn't see a big difference in GPS function regarding my sportstracking.

I had to comment on this one. I had similar troubles using endomondo sports tracker app. This began after I downgraded my radio from 37p to 36p. I am back on 37p which is the stock radio on current AT&T USA. I will create a new thread for comparison between these two radios.

30p radio is ancient and downlad speeds are ridiculously slow. 30p radio will save you lots of battery if you dont really use mobile internet for heavy data.
*GPS is just triangulation, so technically any radio should be able to get good reception as long as you don't flash a radio and use navigation across country immediately after.

I've tried "faster fix" in the market and it seems to make the gps lock a bit faster, still no where near what it used to be though.
The fix is fast enough at my site, maybe ~ 20seconds ...
But accuracy is very....how can i say...unstable.
Is there any logfile i can check?
mine will never lock on during first attempt. however, if i try to use nav, then exit, then nav again it locks on in like 3 seconds.
neutrino 2.5
so can i flash any radio, no matter what my current is and what my provider is?
(currently fido in canada)
search in dev forum returned this fix http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1540642.
in my experience, use the latest radio for your country/carrier otherwise your 3g/4g down/up speed will suffer.
I have use the fix above and edited it for australia and I get a quick gps fix every time all the time on any rom and radio combination.
Hope this help
I don´t need 3g or 4g, what´s the best gps-radio?
Edit: I can´t flash the gps fix, "installation aborted"
Hi!
I have no idea how but somehow my wi-fi signal on my phone got like 3 time worse today. e.g. Two days in my room i had full signal for my modem now its barely connected.
I first restarted my modem and it didnt fixed anything. My prothers phone(HTC desite) wifi works perfect with full signal and mine not.
Today when i went to work and tried to connect to the companys free public wifi connection and it couln't find the signal at all.
I have no idea what happend to my phone. curently i'm using custom rom aurora
3.0 beta. This issue just came from nowhere.
Its my wifi adapter damaged? or is there a way to fix this problem by my self?
thx in advance!
dzo is improving the wifi driver, just stay tunned in the rom thread...
Your phone is OK, the driver is not so well
Go back to a more stable version and the prolem should be solved.
I also installed the original 2.3.5 gingerbread and still have the same problem.
its possible that the aurora wifi driver was still present when i installed the offical rom?

It looks like something is wrong with my phone and i'm pretty sure its not the rom thats causing the wi-fi failure. I will clean my phone as much as i can from the rooting and changing roms and than send it to service.
I remmeber that this morning "12 hours ago" my phone felt accidently on the ground.
It didnt shut down or leaved any scratch. maybe than dmged wi-fi. i dont know :S
