Running Liquid Smooth based on CM
All of the sudden, wifi no longer works. In settings it connects but every time I try to load a wedpage, play an online game, etc, it says no internet connection. Turning off/on the router and wifi on my DX produces no results.
Anyone know what to do? If you're going to say wipe/factory please don't, Im hoping there's a way to fix this without going through that whole process.
Thank you.

okay so my phone lost internet connection on me awhile ago and i was like wtf? then i tired to connect to my wifi but it said there was no wifi available, so i restarted my router an modem but still no wifi dected. So i got my labtop and it found+connected to my wifi with no problems, my phone cant even find it. any idea of how to fix this? Im still looking around trying to find a fix. My phone is rooted with fresh rom on it.
Just a thought, are you using WiFi Tether? I was wondering if it maybe didn't set a setting back correctly when you turned it off last. Try rebooting the phone if you haven't already.
ive rebooted it 2 times but it still detects no wifi, also i coulden't get a evdo signal or whatever that is today when i went out to see if my phone worked if that means anything. o and i just now got it to connect to my wifi by manually setting it up but idk if im gonna be able to see my towns local wifi wich i can connect to whenever im close by or my schools. Do you think i should do a restore on the phone or anything like that?
okay, i found a fix for this for me anyways. If this helps anyone go to your wifi settings and look at the networks you have connected to before, delete all of them. Then your phone should start scanning if you still have wifi turned on and there ya go wifi now works. I have no idea if this bug has anything to do with fresh rom.

Doubt it has anything to do with the Rom, just because we don't have Kernel code to modify or mess with that kind of stuff. May just be a bug for the phone in general. I will test it out tommorow when I have a couple of different signals around me.
i emailed Appalachian wireless and asked them for the evdo settings, but the custom support is probably pretty slow since there not a major company, when i find anything out i'll be sure to post it here. but since i don't get signal or have a data plan it dosen't bother me but i was wantin to get the 30mb addon for $10 so i could check my emails and use my instant messengers.
Hi Everyone,
I have a strange issue,
My wifi works, but today it won't recognize my work wifi even though it was connected to it on Friday.
I've tried everything I can think of to solve this issue, but the problem is only at work.
I just tried a free spot down the street and it connected to it no problem but it refuses to even acknowledge the fact that I have wifi at work...my laptop and and iphone are both connected, just the Nexus...
I've read os "similar" things happening to other people, but I would love to solve and know more about this if anyone has any info.
Thanks,
Lou
EDIT
I played around some more, and solved the problem.
I went to settings - wireless and networs - wifi settings - then the menu button, and went to advanced settings.
From here I went to regulatory domain and forced 14 channels and it seems to work now.
Hope this helps someone

Seems like they removed that option in the patch.
Cant find it anymore and my WiFi is not really working as it should any longer.. I get a connection speed of only 5mbps sitting very close to my AP. :-/
since update, my wifi is very fidgity. loses my house wifi all the time now. seems like every time the phone goes to sleep. my router is the schizz, so it shouldn't be because of lack of signal.
I'm completely lost as to what is wrong with Android, I can turn on WiFii and sometimes it works great, other times I get nothing other than an IP, so what does that mean. It means the initial handshake to the DHCP server is succeeding, but once I have a connection, I can not do anything at all. I've downloaded "Overlook Fing" and when this happens basically I can not do anything pings, traceroute ... all fail with 100% packet loss. If I go back to a cellular connection then I get data again, but sometime if I keep turning WiFii off and on repeatedly it will work eventually, also sometime rebooting the phone helps, but none of these are sure fire solutions, and often only work about 20% of the time. When at home or at work, I'd really like to to waste my data plan as I have WiFii, but since it fails so often and when it fails I get no email and see no messages as to what has failed I'm stuck not trusting WiFii ever.
So far the only solution or recommendation I've gotten is reinstall, which helped but it started up again later. Now between the time when it worked and when it did not work, I did not install any new software or change any data settings on the phone. Also as I said I know the WiFii can get an IP so the radio works, its just it will not send any packets. I even tried disabling Droidwall, but that made no difference either.
Recommendations?

1.Wrong Section (not trying to be rude).
2. I had a similar problem but the simple fix was to reset the router(silly me), which i doubt is the cause for your problem. Sounds more like a hardware problem.
3. If it's a software problem, flashing the specific wifi module on your phone should help....otherwise flashing a new ROM should help. If it's a hardware problem indeed.....no fix.
Felt this was the right place as it is an Atrix that is causing the problem. Also I've try both stock and Alien ROMs same issues with both. I'm hoping there are some logs on the Atrix at the OS level with information to review to find out whats wrong.

have you tried connecting to other wifi networks?
Exactly what are all of the wifi related apps you have installed? Any wifi profile apps like Zakus Wifi Profiles?
You listed Droidwall, which looks like it could cause your issues. What do you mean by disable? Just kill the task or freeze it using TiBU? The Droidwall app might respawn soon after you kill it as a task. Try uninstalling or freezing Droidwall to make sure it's not running.
First off, I believe what he meant by wrong section is it should be in Q&A. Second, what kernel / radio are you using? That is kinda important. Stock? 1.77 radio? 1.97? I had a lot of problems with 1.97 radio, but 1.77 works perfect for me. Where as others say 1.77 is terrible for them and 1.97 works perfect for THEM, so...
Hi!
After Updating to OS 7.10.8107.79 and Firmware 2250.21.21201.401 (Internet Sharing Update) I constantly have problems with my Internet.
If I turn on WiFi and leave Mobile Data on, pages in IE take ages to load and after finishing they just stay white. People Hub will also take forever to load, and there will not be any new newsfeed.
As soon as I turn off either Wifi oder Mobile Data everything works just as expected. If there is no Wifi signal and Wifi and MobileData is on everything works also just fine.
Anyone else experiencing the same?
BTW: Yes I did try a hard Reset, and yes it did solve the problem, but as soon as i used Internet Sharing again, everything went back to as it was before, and I don't want to reset my device every time I use Internet Sharing
Hi,
i'm having a problem with wifi and usb tethering. if i set wifi tethering and start to download something, then the connection drops randomly, and keeps dropping. i thought it could be the wifi sleep setting, but set it to never and it still disconnects. with usb it drops, but less frequently.
i tried to do a ping test to see if it's the wifi connection dropping, but i didn't get any lost packets. tried with other tethering apps and still same problem. the phone is with stock rom.
can you guys help me out with something?
thank you.
