Ever since I downloaded gingerbread I have noticed (and I know I'm not alone) a wifi freeze that would occur everytime my screen would turn off. I've tried countless factory resets, reflashing recoveries, and apps like wifi reassociate and nothing seemed to work. When I reset my phone it would seem fine till I uploaded my go launcher app . Since then it wouldn't work, so I tried uninstalling it and vuala it works again and flawlessly might I add. I use the wifi off Wm screen is off feature in advanced settings and once I turn on the screen within 5 seconds the wifi is on again as well. Hopefully this is a fix for others as well..

sorry but just to clarify, are you saying that wifi freezes with go launcher only?
because I think that many users here are using launchers that differ from go launcher and yet they are facing this issue.
btw I am using stock 407 since a week and never once the wifi froze (touch wood!)
What I've noticed is that when WiFi stops working after the Dell Streak has been on standby for a while is that if I switch the device to Airplane Mode, then off Airplane Mode, it works properly, till it's been on standby for ages again. Small annoying glitch, but I deal with it.
It never freezes while in active use.

I'm using DSC 0.66b with Phoenix kernel and also noticed a problem with Wi-Fi freeze, but I fixed it by simply going to Settings > Wireless & networks > Wi-Fi Settings > Advanced and changing Wi-Fi sleep policy to never and then letting Green Power app to manage my Wi-Fi. Good enough for me, maybe this will be useful to someone else as well. Cheers.

I have tried 'wifi fixer' but it's not working for me...Can one please explain what is causing the problem actually? Is it caused by device or OS
Tried it, but after a few days uninstalled

The first few days it worked. But after awhile Wifi Fixer started giving me issues, specially using 100% of the CPU. I unistalled it. I couldn't take my Streak being slow.
The same thing was happening for me also. However, the problem went away after I re-flashed the 407 recovery and installed the Olleh ROM again on my streak. Fingers crossed !!
I was able to fix my wifi problems by setting up a static IP on the phone and router. I have a detailed post in the DSC Rom thread...

I've noticed a lot that with 407 the wifi shows as connected, but won't work until I turn wifi off and on again.
I hope this helps
I was looking into this WiFi freeze and ran into the XDA's crew. Is it possible to have mobile data working perfectly? I can't locate my sim card I believe its built in. My WiFi is set to off. My router will resume network if I turn wifi back on. The weird thing is. I have no data plan on this phone, its been down for years. I was shocked but it didn't help with the freezing, it was if I turned WiFi back on. Then the old Vibrate, Stall.ing, vibe one more time then the WiFi freeze thing.
Still on topic don't worry but that talk about go launcher. It "was" recently installed on my device. Till we all started doing data wipes Hahaa. My point is. As a fresh data restore no apps installed yet. My Google Search suggested that I use explorer, youtube or tubemate to view my search? I dont have that installed anymore I'm a changed man.. Thats why I brought up your Go Launcher theory. Maybe both launchers are interfering I guess, cuz I wouldn't know. I'm only here to give XDA's more Details so they can do what they do best...
My Samsung S738C is running 4.0.4 ics
Basebands S738CWYMJ1
KERNEL 3.0.8-1251199
BUILD IMM76D
Start with Go launcher or if there's anything this Noob can do. Won't be much
good job
thank you very much sir !

hey, I've had my x10 for a few days, very good phone just a few issues that are kinda annoying.
I'm running the 020 firmware still, and everytime I turn on my phone and click browser, the wi-fi isn't working so it says cannot connect to page.
After a 10 seconds the wi-fi starts working, can someone explain why this is happening? The only app that I think would interfere with this would be advanced task killer, so could that be the problem?
Anyone else with this problem plx help.
Does it by any chance reflect your phones coverage.. I remember some people saying how their wifi wouldn't work as soon as phone coverage went down?

I had the same on 020. I updated to 026, now wifi kicks in fairly quickly when the phone comes out of sleep.

Is probably because of wifi sleep policy.
Is set to turn off when screen is closed and connecting back to the hotspot takes a few seconds.
If you charge your phone daily you can change the wifi policy to always on
Didn't see any posts on this, I'm sure someone will be more than happy to call me an idiot and post a link though.
Whenever I leave my phone dormant, like screen off for awhile, say a half hour or so and I come back to pick it up it's switched off wifi and gone back to mobile data. I have to disable and reenable wifi to pick up the signal again. I know about the setting in Menu>Settings>Wireless & Network Settings>Wi-Fi settings>Menu>Advanced>Wi-Fi sleep policy, but I have it set to never. It still disconnects itself. It's as simple as turning off wifi from the widget and reenabling it, but it's starting to drive me insane doing it all the time. You guys have a fix? A setting I'm missing somewhere?
Might be a bug.. try using the WiFi Keep Alive app in Market, its meant for scenarios like yours..
I use WIFI Lock from the market and it works great.... Give it a try.
or do this to keep it on without an app download
menu > settings > wireless&networks > wifi settings > Menu > advanced
then change the wifi sleep policy to never.
I had this problem on my G1 for a while until my wife picked one up that did the same thing. I tried numerous ROMs trying to fix it. It ended up being my router settings. I don't remember what it was as that was over a year ago but maybe look there.

I am having this problem, too. I have tried it on several routers, but it always disconnects when the phone is sleeping. I have the WiFi sleep set to "never," and I am running CM 6.1. It drives me crazy. In a similar thread for the N1, there was a Broadcom driver problem in the AOSP kernel. It might be something similar here, too.
Im on the Desire Z and I too have the same problem. It's quite annoying. The "Never" disconnect option is chosen and it still wont stay connected.
Well, after having no wifi issues with the stock rom I am now having this issue with CM6. On my G1, I was able to adjust router settings and fix this but I am unable to find a fix on the G2.
I have wiped and reflashed. It does it whether I am on a fresh install and no apps restored or fully restored after wipe. I have messed with my router. I have messed with my phone settings. I have tried market apps. I even went back to stock and had no issues but as soon as I install CM, wifi sleep policy turns to poo. I really dont want to go through this again like I did with the G1. It took me months to finally fix it on the G1. I would rather go back to stock than go through this again.
I am begging anyone who may know how to fix this to give us some insight. I love CM6 but the margin between it and stock is not enough for me to have to restart wifi because I looked away from the phone for a minute and when coming out of sleep my wifi is gone.
Hey guys,
I am using ICS Evervolv a5 on my N1. The mobile data connection works only if I don't connect to a WiFi network. If I do, the only way I have found to make it work again is to reboot the phone.
This means that while I am at home, everything works through WiFi, however, if I leave home, I have to reboot my phone once I am sure the phone is far enough from my WiFi access point to be able to connect. Then, it starts working with the cellular data plan
The only thing I can relate to this is that I have the "application protection" app installed, protecting the settings menu do with a code so my kids don't mess up with that. However, is still hard to believe that's the culprit.
Thoughts?

I too had this problem when i updated from 4.0 to 4.1U2. I tried couple of things like clearing cache/dalvik cache etc. nothing worked.
Later i used 4EXT Recovery to format all except fat32. After this i did clean install and things are working fine
Do you just have gray bars or is the connection icon showing an x?
I had the problem that I could not connect and I had to clear the data of the Google framework to get it going again.
But that might have been another problem.
Sent from my Nexus One
Try turning airplane mode on and then off, so you don't have to reboot the phone. It works for me.

I am getting the gray bars. It seems that is working these past couple of days. I will try clearing the data from the Google framework the next time it happens..

I noticed that I was getting grey bars over the last few days too, but using CM7. However it corrected itself yesterday. Perhaps it's something external causing it?
Sent from my Nexus One using xda app-developers app
Just a quick note, i guess most people on xda know this but if not, you could try to use an app called catlog or other similar apps.
You can find out if programs are behaving badly by using it and by Googling errors you often find the solution faster.

None issue
well..
after switching from wifi if the data doesnt work.
just put ur phone on airplan mode for few seconds and back to normal network mode
it will start the data activity ...
i had the same issue but now i can use it after airplan mode
no reboot required
So, for some reason, my Bluetooth doesn't function properly as it should, which is weird, since my phone is still on stock, and the only modifications I've made are unlocking the bootloader and rooting the device. I also installed Power Toggles, but I don't think that's the issue at hand.
Pretty much, whenever I turn the bluetooth on, it tries for a while to turn it on, then gives up and won't let me turn it on. At that point, I have to restart the phone, and when it reboots back up, the bluetooth is on without me having to start it up. Then it works properly, but if I wish to use the bluetooth again the next day, I have to repeat the process of rebooting the device. Any ideas?
I had this issue when I Downloaded a FM radio app from the Play store to see if it would work. I just deleted the app. Went into safe mode then into normal mode and it fixed it.
Don't know what you case can be. But you can try going into safe mode and back to normal and see if there are any different results.

I had this same problem after installing Torque, and using it with default settings that auto-enabled/disabled bluetooth. After turning all that crap off it is back to normal.
I use bluetooth for audio playback and an hf/A2DP headset dialing via Motospeak, as well as Torque with a bluetooth odb2 interface, and it all works perfectly since disabling Torque's auto-bluetooth settings. My only issue is that it takes Motospeak a bit long to restore audio playback after a hf call command.
I would look for an app that you have that is the controlling bluetooth on/off.
I wonder if it isn't a software bug. I have the same issue but I don't have any apps that are causing the issue of atleast from what I can tell. I'm also unlocked and rooted.
I removed Bluetooth from Power Toggles. It's been two days and all seems well. Now we wait.

Similar problems here, the weirdest thing is idk which app causes that. Because I didnt install that much. Only thing I notice is it happened when the wifi is on.. Does anyone have similar problem??
Same problem here. I have a lot of apps but none I can think of that do anything with Bluetooth.

Nothing yet? I'm just curious as to whether it's just a few people experiencing this, or a lot, since there doesn't seem to be that much talk about it.
I use Bluetooth everyday on my way home from work just to connect to my Bluetooth headset. Out of 14 days I may get one day where I turn Bluetooth on that I don't have to reboot for it to work.

So we're on 4.2.2, I've went through safe mode and back a few times, and I've uninstalled and installed applications having to do with the Wi-Fi. Problem still seems to be there. It's just somewhat of a hassle to have to power down my phone completely, then start it back up, everytime I get into my car. I feel a hard reset mighttt fix the issue, but just looking for another way as of now.
My phone also have the same problem.. the bluetooth won't turn on.. stock 4.2.2 locked bootloader and not root yet.. anyone has a solution..
I've seen other people having issues with wifi but haven't read of anyone finding a fix. I'm watching the on/off switch go back and forth as my G2 continues to try and establish a connection. It connects to my router for a second, then disconnects...This has been keeping up all day.
Any suggestions?
Already reset my router. Tried to WPS push button method.

Did that. Nothing. Also tried to connect to the public wifi at work, same problem.
turn off battery saving stuff like switch off wifi when not using
Has anyone have a solution to this?
My G2 did the same thing as the OP says. It will turn itself on and off (about 5 second between each on and offs) but ONLY if the bluetooth is turned OFF. If the bluetooth is ON, no problem whatsoever. I usually left my bluetooth ON because I have a bluetooth headset and I want it to be ready every-time I want to use them. But, this night, when I turn off the bluetooth, the wifi keeps going on and off, and yes, battery drained and no internet connection for me
Please help if anyone have a solution for this. I'm in stock rom (D802) 4.4.2 rooted, with xdabbeb's camera mod, the only "root" apps that I've installed so far. Reboot and full power off is the first thing that I do, still no cure.
