I have a NC that I rooted almost a year ago. Recently, I started running CM7 off an sd card. It works great. However, periodically, I lose my wifi. It tries to connect but it doesn't see any networks. I reboot and have the same issue. If I boot in my standard rooted profile, it all works fine.
Does anyone have any suggestions?
Thanks in advance,

Same on my X8
Sorry,
but I could only confirm this situation.
With fresh SEUS flashed X8 it works well.
Not with a rom based on CM7 (KuyaDROID)
BR
turrican(s)
The weird part for me, is that it works most of the time. But when it stops working, I don't know how to get it back, or why it come back on when it does.
thanks

FWIW you might try re-loading CM on your uSD. As you are booting/running CM from it files can get borked on uSD card for no apparent reason. Kinda sucks but it does happen. Presume other devices can connect? (Just to rule out router issues)
I will try that later (hard to do it at work ) The router is fine. It should be seeing several networks and they all come up as "not in range." I have tried rebooting, rebooting in recovery, fixing permissions in rom manager. No of these work. I will try redoing my SD card.
Question, If I reload cm7, will that remove all the apps that I have downloaded? Will I have to reinstall them also?
Thanks

I forgot where I read it, but if you delete the saved wireless networks, after you delete the last one it will reset the WiFi and start scanning again. Had that happen to me a few days ago lol..

I am running cm7 ver. 7.0.3-encore of my sd card. And I am having some issue with my nook color since this moring.
When I turned on wifi it didn't show the little wifi icon in the status bar, so I checked in the wireless & networks settings, it showed that the wifi was scanning. And this is where it stuck.
I turned on and off the Airplne Mode, it started working again after that. I even used it for some time.
But now when I tried connecting wifi again on my NC it showing the same problem i.e. stuck in scanning mode without the little wifi icon.
I tried agin with the Airplane Mode but this time it did not work.
I remove the sd card and boot to stock, even in stock it does not connect to the wifi. The wifi shows as enabled but it cannot connect to my home network.
I looked noline but cant find any solutions specific to my problem. Is anyone having such a problem with their wifi on NC??
FYI the bluetooth is working so i guess its more of a software issue than a hardware one, but i could be wrong.
what should i do to fix this problem??
Try standing right next to a wifi router and see if you get anything. There's a possibility that there's something wrong with the antenna.
Go into the wifi settings and delete all of the access points. Reboot and try again.

this worked perfectly.... wifi is working from both the systems i.e. stock and sd card cm7...
just for my knowledge... y did this happen??
I sometimes have to go through the steps of deleting my access point. I just always assumed it was my crap router or at the least a mix of nook and my crap router.
ok this is getting irritating... it worked for 2 days... this is crap...
now its not working... same problem... no wifi icon and stays in scanning mode for sometime...
repeating the previous fix does not work...
why is this happening???
Try upgrading to the latest nightly and then fix permissions in rom manager.

I just recently got this tablet from someone else. (This person had no problems and is trustworthy in reporting all that was done and care taken with it, even offering on advice on things you can do with it.)
My first step was to connect to Wifi. This happened without problems.
When returning home from work where I also connected, my wireless connection(s) said "Disabled" after trying to obtain the IP where they worked fine before. The first time this happened I had to do a factory reset to solve it (hardware reset didn't do it).
Today, it is happening again. I woke it from "standby" to start using again at home and received this message. In fact, any attempted WiFi connections comes up saying "disabled" after attempting to connect and obtain an IP. Again, these are saved connections that previously worked. I know for a fact that it's not the routers.
Please help if you can. I've tried:
1) power off/up 2x in a row to no avail
2) removing and adding back the connection with the appropriate passwords
3) a factory reset but I really don't want to do that again because I'm afraid flashing it back will bring back the same problem.
3) I haven't put any new apps on it since it last worked earlier today so I can't figure that as an issue. The first time it happened a week ago was when I'd just gotten it. It has worked for almost a week without problem. I did nothing special but travel home.
SPECS:
A500 Wifi
Rooted (was unrooted when it first happened); rooted now using IconiaRoot v1.3
(previously rooted and unrooted with Gingerbreak which would no longer root)
ROM: Honeycomb 3.1 with Virtuous Picasso v.1.1.0
Kernel: 2.6.36.4-UNITY-V5-ge7dee2a-dirty
Thanks in advance.
it's a known problem with this tablet when moving from one access poin to another, introduced with the update to 3.1. you have to reset using the pin hole near the micro USB port. i use a staple.
it may take a few tries. if it never works, there's a specific file you can delete if you're rooted. if you cant do that, you will have to do a device wipe.
There is a known issue of connecting to PEAP/EAP networks, which most work networks are. After connecting successfully, often many times, it will suddenly fail to connect. It also shows the signal from the access point to be very low or non-existent. After this happens, it can also cause problems with other PEAP/EAP access points as well.
If this is what happened to you, here's the fix. Try to connect to the access point giving you problems. While it is stuck on trying to connected, click the access point name and tell the tablet to Forget it. Then enter the same access point information manually and try to reconnect. This fixed my problem, and the fix sticks for a few weeks or so until it comes back.
Interesting, I had this same problem a few weeks ago when I visited my parents house. After a couple reboots it just started magically working again and didn't think anything of it. Their router is whatever the Verizon FiOS people install when you get their service.
Thanks, GeekGuy and Falkner, but.....
I've tried both before, but I went ahead and tried both of your recommendations again (pin reset and connection attempt/forget/add). Neither fixed it.
I would like to try to delete the file that Falkner mentioned, but you didn't specify a name and/or location of it. Can you share that?
I could never find what file to delete, so I've just installed a new ROM (thanks to XDA for info on all the how to stuff).
We'll see if it repeats.
Gone from V.Picasso v.1.1.10 with HC 3.1 to Taboonay 2.1 with HC 3.2.
Thanks for the attempted help!
Just guessing but I would say your problem is solved since no reply from yesterday?
Per my last post, I've switched ROMS. As it happened randomly before, I can only wait to see if it happens again. I will post back if it does.
And....as of tonight it happened again.
Note: Different ROM working since the last post 9-26-11.
ROM Taboonay 2.1
The only thing I can wonder about is if it happens when it tries to connect to a network that is actually down such that it cannot obtain an IP that actually gets internet access. However, it was "disabled" when I brought it up before ever trying to specifically reconnect to a network to realize the ISP wasn't doing their part.
Still....no reboots, or hardware resets have worked. I'm working on an image restore of only the system from the 9.25 install of the ROM rather than a factory data reset. Not sure if that would have been better. Trying to save some of what I've done recently. Gonna have to get used to a weekly backup if this is to continue.
Grrrrr..........restoring a backup turned out to be the last ROM. After reinstalling Taboonay 2.1, I still had all my apps and found the same problem. I'm doing a factory data reset as it's the only thing that fixed it before :-(
The only "oddity" I've experienced has been since last Thursday. The Android Market doesn't even recognize now that I have another device. Have communicated with them; they are investigating and saying they have received reports of this on free downloads giving an "unable to process purchase" message. It updates installed apps, but I cannot download any new ones through market, appbrain -even the appbrain app only and not to the market app. I can download through Amazon, so it's the Market issue. Still, that shouldn't affect this issue.
If you have any constructive feedback, I'd appreciate it!
This was happening to me. I had problems with every rom I tried until the following combo: Taboonay 2.2 with Richard's Villain ROM 3.7 kernel. Every other combo would lead to erratic wifi...now it hasn't happened in 2 days. I don't know why this is happening as many of the roms I tried claim to have the wifi fix integrated. I hope this helps. Just flash the latest Taboonay and then the kernel zip file on too of it. By the way, latest rabbinate is 2.2....NOT THE ONE YOU HAVE NOW.

Ok so ever since I updated my phone to .621 and then restored back to when I had the previous version .605 and rooted with liberty 2.0. My wifi just will not connect. I have tried resetting the wifi with apps like wifi fixer and having my phone completely forget the connection. To rebooting my phone a few times, putting into airplane mode and back again. Also have tried restoring back to a later backup of liberty when I know that the wifi was working for sure. Even though it has always worked fine with liberty and without liberty.
I don't know what to do! I really want my wifi back and working. I don't get good reception in my house at all and my internet speed at home is so fast I miss it. If anyone has any ideas as to what I can do or should do that I have not already tried please let me know. My next step, if I can't get it fixed would be to back up my current rom and wipe everything completely. Then, re-install the liberty rom from scratch.

This could very well be a problem with liberty itself I have had this issue as well with some roms liberty was one of them that borked my wifi because you took .621 it has raised many incompatability and instability issues I recommend trying a different rom if your able to get into Clockwork mod recovery pooka`s cm7 works good as well as a few others just make sure you stick to those that have gingerbread kernel not froyo or you will get bootloader errors.
Hey guys,
I have a Galaxy S4 (i9500). I installed Omega ROM v22 on it and everything went smoothly, Wifi & BT working perfectly.
After a few hours of using the device (nothing special at all, texts and stuff like that) - I noticed my wifi isn't working and by not working I mean that I click the wi-fi button and it changes from gray to the mid-state between gray to green for around 20 seconds before it goes back to green ago.
If I open the menu to see my networks it just says "Enabling" without any networks there.
I had to drive somewhere so I went to my car and tried to enable Bluetooth, and same thing happens there - Bluetooth will not turn on and will stay stuck on mid-state between gray and green for a while and go back to green.
I flashed omega rom v22 again and the problem was gone, or so I thought. I went back to the car for another drive and realized the bluetooth issue is back - and when I got home I realized the wifi issue is back as well.
I figured I need to reset everything so I tried the following:
Full wipe (including dalvik and even including "internal SD card") and then flashing stock rom (from the official website, stock rom of my country).
The issue was back after a few hours. I do not have BT or Wifi access. Yesterday Wifi suddenly started working for a few hours but then it stopped working again.
I really need help! I have no idea what to do with this issue!
Well rule number one when you have problems after flashing without wipe.
1. perform a full wipe and see if the problem persists.

Tried that, no luck.
What else would you try?
In some places when people had problems with Wi-Fi they said to flash a different kernel but I don't see why I would have this specific issue with Omega Rom and why the default kernel with it wont work well?
Maybe this could be a root issue? My root works fine but I have this weird gut feeling like this is some permissions thing that's going on.
I'm trying to think why it would work right after the wipe but then stop working shortly after.
Another symptom: It randomly started working for a few minutes and then stopped again (around three hours ago).
Any idea what's going on?
Well, if you fully wiped and didn't restore any apps and settings then it can be two other things.
Or it's a bug in the rom or a hardware failure in your phone.
I would suggest trying a different rom first. Do not restore anything, not even your google account.
wi-fi fix?
Do you actually have an i9505? or is it a canadian or att version? if its the latter sometimes the devs offer some wifi-fixes, also try a different kernel. otherwise it could be that your radio/modem are not compatible with the version of the ROM you are flashing.
Tried arrow ROM and this issue doesn't seem to happen in this rom. Hope it stays like that...

Sadly, it did happen with this rom, after just a few hours.
I'm now using stock rom and still suffering from the issue.
Does anyone have ANY idea what I can do to fix this?
Thanks in advance!
Hi all,
I still use my old defy sometimes as a gps when I'm out and about. I'm running the official stable cm7.2 build. It has no sim card so I just connect to wifi at home to update apps etc. I find that after a couple of months wifi stops working properly. It's still connected but no traffic comes in or out. Happens on all wifi networks. I've found the only way to fix it is to wipe and reflash Cm. Then it's fine again for a few more months. Any ideas? It's a bit of a pain to have to set it up each time.
Are there any other roms that perform well, good battery life etc but are also very stable?
Thanks a lot
It looks like disabling wifi-n by editing the tiwlan.ini has solved the problem for now. But I'll wait and see if the issue happens again. The process is simple and described here: http://chromloop.com/2011/09/how-to...roblem-wifi-connected-but-no-internet-access/ The hardest part is probably making sure that you have read/write access to the files in question.
Note that I had to edit two files, tiwlan.ini and tiwlan_ap.ini (as someone mentioned in the comments of the above link) to get wifi working properly.

may i suggest you do a nandroid backup after you reflash your rom. then the next time it plays up again you just have to do a recovery instead of re-flashing and re-setup your gps again?
edit:especially now that you've edited your rom as in your second post.
