All of a sudden, my tablet is going crazy. Never had a wifi prob before. But since latest update it has taken a while to connect to the internet.
Then last night and into today, it is connecting/disconnecting every 2 seconds. It never locks in and stays with my router. I have to shut down and when it comes back on its good. But as soon as it goes to sleep it can never reconnect with a hard shutdown.
Anyone have any idea or similar problem?

I had a similar problem. It ended up not being my transformer but my router, turned it off and back on. Smooth sailing since.

In my experience, that's a sign that there is something corrupted in the configuration...credentials or whatever...
Even if you KNOW the information....do this:
Delete the current connection and recreate it in your TF...
that should take care of it.
So you are both saying to delete the router, turn the router off/on and then reconnect?
I will give that a whirl...

Did you install the Google Maps update? Version 5.10.0 form 8 september? I read that this update is the problem of the continuing connect/disconnect.
Look here for some other people who has the the problem : http://www.transformerforums.com/forum/asus-transformer-help/6324-wifi-acting-up.html
So far so good! Thanks guys!

So my WiFi randomly stops working (while connected to the WiFi network and everything), and then, without me doing anything, a few hours into the day, it suddenly starts pulling email and working just fine.... then randomly -without me doing anything, stops working. Any idea what's going on with my phone?
Same problem here. Already had 2 atrixs and same problem with booth

This phone is an effing fail.
Remind me to never buy a non-Nexus phone (damn you Google for not including 720p recording in the Nexus S)
Many people don't realize that an old/bad modem will do exactly what you describe. I've had 2 in past years. The atrix issue will drop the icon. Check your modem.

It also happens at home when my laptop is working perfectly fine, but my phone, not so much. Hotspot is right next to both.
That does suck. Wish I could help. My atrix wifi flakes out but not horrible. A few seconds and it reconnects.

Last week when the Onavo data monitor app appeared prominently placed on the market home screen I gave it a try.
Unfortunately it created a very annoying bug on my phone running JVU and Semaphore 2.5:
whenever my phone looses it's wifi connection for any reason it will not recognize and connect to available wifi anymore even if placed directly near the router with full signal strength!
The only way to get it connected again is switching wifi off and then on again...
I already uninstalled the app and did a factory reset but nothing changed. Probably it messed up some system files that don't get touched during factory reset.
As I'm in vacation now and don't have my data cable with me to flash a fresh firmware, is there any way to resolve this issue in other means?
Sent from my GT-I9000 using Tapatalk
Nobody here with any idea how to resolve this? It's really annoying as even battery consumption goes up very much when the phone looses wifi and auto connects to 3g.
Sent from my GT-I9000 using Tapatalk
I have no idea about your problem. I also have just installed Onavo on JVU firmware for a couple days, but everything is still ok....
So, I'm thinking the cause is from your router!! Why don't you try another wifi network?
Good luck!! ^^

Thanks for your answer! It doesn't depend on my router. As I said I'm in vacation right now and therefor using many different available hotspots, it happens on all of them... :-(

Any issues with battery drain and onavo? Cause it was sucking mine dry!! I thought it was semaphore's fault (i'm on icssgs 4.2) until i figure it out and uninstalled it. Now it is Almost as prior installing onavo. I have a feeling that it left some garbage behind though.
It definitely left some garbage behind and this thread is about to find out how to get rid of it.
Battery drain was and unfortunately still is very high on my device thanks to the non desired 3g connection instead of wifi...
Sent from my GT-I9000 using Tapatalk
Try to flash a new kernel again. It may help you updating some files that control wifi.
I used onavo for couple of days, battery drains. Its functions already in ICS roms, Less but good.

I only got my n7 a couple of weeks ago and almost immediately updated to 4.2. I didn't notice any issues. Immediately after the 4.2.1 update I keep getting random connection issues. I have to turn wifi off and on to resolve it.

I had the issue.. 32gb version in the US with the sep build. I actually had it prior to to 4.2.1. I ended up going into advanced properties and changing wifi to always on. Drains battery, but fewer need to turn wifi off and back on.

No wifi internet / e-mail / notifications after 4.2.1
I am having a similar issue. Stock Nexus 7, never rooted, installed the 4.2.1 update when it was pushed. Since then I can connect to wifi connections but there is no internet access. While the icon in the upper right has small flashing arrow like data is being sent back and forth, the icon remains gray and no internet-requiring services on the tablet work. I've tried everything that I (and Google Play and Asus support) could think of with no luck.
The only thing they could come up with at the end was to restore the tablet to factory settings. Unfortunately I have application data that I need to back up that I can't access by accessing the internal storage using my laptop (I'm stock, remember?).
So I'm between a rock and a hard place here. Anyone have any suggestions? It was very frustrating when the Asus representative suggested I use the built-in backup and restore feature:
Me: "That requires internet access to work right?
Asus representative: "Oh....right..."
My Wi-Fi on both my Nexus 7's is very slow. They stay connected fine but I'm getting about 150kbps download speeds. I factory reset one of them to no prevail. Anyone have any insight on this or heard of others with this issue? All my other devices work fine on the same Wi-Fi connection and I tried turning everything else off so just the Nexi where connected to see if the speeds are faster, but they aren't. I'm stock on both devices and both are the 16gb version, one older than the other.

Known issue. I logged a bug with Google and there's actually several open bugs reporting wifi issues. So far, none of the bugs are being picked up by google officially.

I've tried this same thing, and as soon as I installed 4.2, WiFi went to sh**. Completely stock.
So turning wifi off then on seems to be the generally excepted quick fix?

Or use Static IPs. That solved it for me. I had to ask my company to provide a reservation for my MAC Address. It's like back in the 90s when Wifi started coming out using the BellLabs/Lucent chipset.
Ever since the Google i/o update for google search I'm frequently experiencing a "no connection" bug with google now. The rest of the services works fine but Google Now can't connect to the internet. Rebooting fixes the issue but it reappears after some time. Am i the only one with that?
It happened to me once about a day ago, but that *might* have been because my internet was throwing a hissy-fit.
Out of curiosity, what was the Google i/o update?

They've added reminder settings and some new cards. Go to settings/cards to see what the new ones are
I'm having the same issue. Since the update, Google Now losses connection at least every other day until I turn off my WiFi/mobile data and turn it back on.
Assume a big fix week be on the cards (excuse the pun) but it's a pain in the meantime...

I had this problem show up randomly after a few months without issues. Wiping the Google search app data solved it for a day or two then it came back.
I finally solved the problem by simply wiping the Google search app data, then turning Google Now OFF then ON. 6 weeks without a problem so far.

Mine was and at first I blamed the case. But it does it with every case. So i was thinking of returning it. But then I got this email from Poetic(i had slammed them on Amazon with a one star rating). It said:
We would also like to inform you that if you face any issue regarding wake up function mostly when you open the case we request you to please check your WIFI Connection (to make sure you are successfully connected to WIFI). If your WIFI connection is disabled or not connected to WIFI Successfully, then your device won’t wake up all the times. This is not the issue of the case itself.

I tried turning my WIFI on and connecting, but it did not help. Then I tried with it off. Same problem. Now I am thinking I really need to return this thing, only to find out my friends does the same exact thing. So what the hell? Are they all doing this? Most? Only a few? I really do not want to return if all of them are gonna do it, and it would seem a software issue in that case. But if mines got hardware problems I really should return it.
My case has been working fine.

Hate to say it but if you are on stock, I think the device crashes and does not power on with the cover anymore. I had that issue when I was on stock.
I've since moved to CM10.2 nightlies and the cover turns on the device every single time. No issues here.
Also, with CM10.2, no more random reboots. You owe it to yourself to get off of stock.
There definitely is an issue with having wifi on and no access point around w/r/t magnetic on
I've seen this on a couple of units
Here are the symptoms with my cover:
* It never fails to put my tab to sleep.
* With wifi off, it rarely wakes up my tab. With wifi on, it wakes up the tab quite often... unless the Tab went to a deep sleep.
* When plugged in (PC or charger), it works beautifully, wifi on or off.
So it's hard to point the finger to Poetic.
There are plenty of people who don't have any issue.
I have replacement coming from the Amazon seller, so will see.
Open your case and WAIT...
so far mine always turns on... BUT it may be delayed by 10-15 seconds.
(by that time most of us have closed/re-opened the case a few times).
Mine works like a charm, I cycle through every Locket ad in like 30 seconds using my cover lol
Mine fails perhaps 20% of the time. It can't be a cover issue though, because the cover is constant.
Just tested my Moko ultra slim case on CM kanged and it turns on and off like a champ. Quick and no delay. No reboots either. So for me it was a software issue.
For you, flash CM and see if it is. If you still have the problem on CM then exchange it.

Mine works fine with CM10.2 as long as WiFi is always on. If WiFi is set to turn off when sleeping it will not turn on after 15-20 minutes.

Sometimes it will wake up after a delay (20-30 seconds) and sometimes it will just sit there until I press the power button. My first gen N7 never had this problem. I really don't want to let my WiFi run 24/7 just so my tablet will wake up.

I'm using the MoKo case and do not have any problems with the case not waking the device when opened. I must say though I did not purchase the case for this feature. The case construction is good, it fits the device perfectly and looks.well in place, and provides protection for the screen. For those reasons I am satisfied with it.
Just got a poetic replacement case, no improvement.
But (at this point) I think it's a tablet issue. If google knows they will fix it later, just like some people having multi-touch issue.
Even with my WiFi off, on CM, its perfect. Tested with WiFi off, even waited like 5 minutes and tested again with no issues. Probably a rom issue. Is this on stock with the latest version?

Mine is stock rooted, latest version, with a Moko case. If it sits idle for more than a few minutes, it will rarely turn on when the cover is opened. With short idle times, it will wake consistently. I may try CM eventually but, for now, I think I may just flash the Bulletproof kernel and enable the double tap to wake feature.
