Ok about a couple hours ago I noticed my wifi would turn itself on multiple times, and I turn it off and it keeps coming on, I think it does it when I put my phone to sleep, im not sure. I think it started happening since I installed the Blue Star 5 theme. Any ideas?
Stupid question... but you don't have Locale installed do you?
Figured I would ask. I have mine set up so that it would automatically fire up my wifi because although I get 3G outside I can't get it through my mighty wooden walls where I live. Go figure. Every so often I guess Locale looses my position and it puts me on and off the network. Pretty annoying. So I disabled that and installed some apps to keep my wifi on even while my phone sleeps. There's a few out there, Wifi Insomnia, Wi-Fi Lock, KeepWiFi are a few that I have experiment with. Although since I have all three installed now... I'm honestly not sure which one I'm using.

Hmmm. Well... maybe try seeing if it does it in safe mode if that doesn't work. If it does it in safe mode too then I dunno. If it doesn't then it's probably an app messing with it.
I heard it could be ShopSavvy that is causing that.
If you have an app like keepwifi that basically keeps your wifi signal on, that might be whats causing it. If not, you might want to try other apps that require things such as internet access or access to settings.
We need an list of apps you have installed. Power Manager will do this also.
I too am having this problem!
Sometime the wifi doesn't stay on and I only knew it was turning on thanks to wifi toggle's symbol at the top.
I am running JF's 1.43 RC9 with root etc etc.
The apps I have installed are:
ASTRO
Download crutch lite
DroidFtp
Droidsans tweak tools
fBook
GPS status
JF updater
Meebo
PapiJump
Picasa
Pkt auctions ebay
Ringdroid
Scrambled net
Shazam
Shopsavvy (my suspisions are on this one!)
Skype
Sms awake
Toggle wifi
Thanks

Okay,figured out what it is. Its the theme u downloaded. Couple hours ago my g1 started turning on the wifi whenever it felt like it.I figured it was something I downloaded recently but I downloaded apps to check them out& then uninstalled them.apps have no effect after u uninstall them.then u mentioned the theme u just downloaded. Well go figure,I just downloaded the same theme wit a few others today.then my wifi started acting up.concidence? I think not.
Lol let me know how u do.
Hmmm, im not sure if its the theme, someone mentioned the setting on ShopSavvy, after I took it off it hasnt been turning on. I still have the theme on btw, but I modified it, so it may have been ShopSavvy
wifi not turning on
My problem is different my wifi wont turn on? if i start my wifi it will show a message that wifi failed to turn on... Can anyone help me on this
Weird, i had shopsavvy from day one, never encountered such a problem. still have it, and deleted the theme. Now the wifi is back to normal. problem with the G1 is, everyone can have the same problems or issues but different solutions with each device lol. the beauty of the G1.
Btw, does anyone know if the "shake awake" app really kills the battery?

ShopSavvy is a definite cause of this problem. I've been in touch with the developers over it, and they have admitted that there's a problem with the WiFi coming on randomly
they've assured me that the next update will fix it. i hope so, because ShopSavvy was useful until it started doing this
here you go guys............i posted this in the Tethering thread as well. this will fix the issue. it is indeed Shop Savvy, but heres the fix, just copy and pasted from my other post:

1. On your G1, open the Shop Savvy APP
2. once Shop savvy's screen shows up, SELECT settings
3. select PRIVACY
****you will see a phase that says "find my location" with a button to the right that will say "ON"****
4. press the button, now it should say "OFF"
5. Exit out of Shop Savvy
Voila.........no more disconnects. I have been tethering for 2 hours non-stop. happy tethering.
my wifi keeps today also itself on
I never installed Shopsavvy. So that cant be the problem.
I didnt changed anything today on my phone

yes, this fixes the issue of ShopSavvy randomly switching on the WiFi and disconnecting ongoing sessions, but it completely renders the most useful thing about ShopSavvy useless.
I've been beta testing the latest version of ShopSavvy, and it doesn't seem to be doing this random WiFi anymore. It is also a version of ShopSavvy that is compatible with Cupcake 1.5.
HI, i had no problem with Wifi. Since last time I got to the hostel and have a weak access point I have a bug with Wifi : when I activate it, it says "connecting... ". But nothing happens, it doesn't list access point around me too.
I found a way to make it work: I uncheck Wifi, check airplane mode then check wifi again. It works but I have to do it every each boot or wifi deactivation..
Is there a parameters or cache file stocking the weak ap I was trying to connect when the bug appears at first?
Thank you
Problem not solved but changer: now it work but wifi is never activated at startup.. can't force it to auto activate. Strange...
Anyone else have this problem? I just started having it, first on Phiremod 6 and now just updated to 6.3 hoping for a fix, but no dice.
I have sent back 2 nooks to BN for exchange because of this issue. I didn't know doing the airplane mode thing would temporarily fix the issue. I even did the 8 hard reset and restore and the nook would get stuck on finding wifi window - turning on wifi but nothing would happen. My nook was manualnooted 1.2. Strange?
I'm on nightly-87, Dal's 1.2GHz OC Kernel 5/23, and I'm experiencing something very similar. I went from 7.0.2 to N87 without a hitch, but I immediately started to see the WiFi icon go gray and lose it's connection. I was forced to restart WiFi as a remedy. As of today I'm getting something closer to what you're talking about; when WiFi turns on, the nook will infinity cycle through: disconnected->connecting->disconnecting->scanning. I've wiped Cache, Delvik-cache many times to no avail. Also tried re-flashing N87 and the OC Kernel, which did not work. I'm still not able to connect to my home network(netgear, WPA). But, after enabling/disabling airplane mode, I was able to connect to my LG vortex and obtain the interbuttz.
The last time I did a fresh install was around N20 something. As far as possible causes to this erratic and ethereal bug, my money is on certain update paths for both the OS and Kernel having different remnants. Example: with 87 different experimental OS installs and, to a lesser degree, the three different stable OS installs. There are technically !90 different upgrade paths. Compounded by being paralleled by kernel installs, but I believe when a kernel is updated the former is completely replaced instead of merged. I'm not calling out the Dev's, it would be nearly impossible to foresee and head-off all of the permutations of merging 87+ releases.
I'm no expert, just my two-cents. I'm not really concerned about this as a long term bug. There are fine people hard at work, and unfortunately have far more pressing issues to contend with. It's a sad reality that community driven projects, notably the nook Color, rarely reach maturity or complete/efficient hardware-software integration before the allure and newness of a product wares off.
As a consumer of .rockbox, a Linux based OS for G5.5 ipods and below, Of which I've been using for years and years. And, I would say it's just now becoming 'perfect', even with it's lack of support for many peripheral devices. I'm long term with my gadgets.
I'm rambling now.
Hope this helps to narrow down symptoms and possible causes.
It seems that my problem is a known issue of cm7 (when you click airplane it stay on forever but the checkbox remains unchecked). Try a tool from market that shown me the airplane mode and unchecked it from here. Since I didn't reboot from that test I don't know if it's solved for now.
my NC on CM7 just stopped connecting too
I turned on my NC this morning and my WiFi no longer works either.
All of my hotspots say 'not in range'.
I tried all of the tools I have to turn off 'airplane' mode (just in case it was on)
but, nothing seems to get me 'out of the mode.
What can I try next?
Wifi miraculously auto-fixed itself, and then broke itself again

While researching potential solutions... CM7 auto-fixed itself after about 15 minutes.
I didn't touch it.
All of a sudden I heard the Gmail tool beep at me with new messages and the market with a few apps updates that were available.
Now it seems to be working fine.
I spoke too soon, I just powered off and on again to see if the problem was fixed
permanently, and its not... its back to the 'not working' state.
(I hate when that happens, because I don't know what caused it, and I don't know what fixed it!)
This happened (WiFi not hearing any APs) to me a few times with nightly 87, but hasn't happened since I upgraded to n94.

SAME! Bump.
Same issue.....latest nightly on VG SDcard solution. Never had a problem until recently. Was runnning 7.03(flawlessly) then suddenly started experiencing the issue, flashed the latest nightly (113)...worked for a bit, rebooted and now nada..... just sits at connecting..... then goes to disconnected. Cycles every couple of minutes.....
Any suggestions on what to look at?
**** Note ; WIFI works fine when I boot to EMMC (Nook 1.2) . So I do not believe this to be a hardware problem.
I was just looking for this issue also.
I was doing great with nightlies and the OC 6/18 kernal, this morning I updated to the Nightly 114, and I received no wifi connection on booting up.
So I did all the normal things (1. turn on/off the airplane mode - No change, 2. fixed permissions - no change, 3. restarted multiple time (aft all the prior changes) - no change) Ok I thought, I will go back to my previous nights backup (Nightly 113). But I still get no wifi. The widget says trying to connect, but none of my networks are showing up within range. I run wifi analyzer and I see NO networks (normally I would see about 5 to 7 of them).
So I begin stepping back, I reinstall the Nightly 113, with No OC, and while the wifi is off on bootup, once I 'turn it on' now I see my networks.
I'm cooking with gas now, so I install the OC 6/18 - No Wifi
So I install the OC 6/13 - Still no Wifi
Both times, the Nook boots up with the wifi 'off' so I turn it on, but no connection or sensitivity.
I again reflash the Nightly 113 only and while it again boots up with wifi 'off', I am able to turn it on and it actually sees my networks.
So strange, I am stuck without my OC kernal, but as least the nook works again.
Does anyone have an idea why this is happening to people?
Thanks

The issue in the OP isn't related to the one you're talking about. Try deleting one or more of your remembered wifi access points with wifi on. Let it rescan and, if it's not some other issue, it should find your access points and connect.
Suffering this same issue as well on my Nook Color. I believe the problem lies under /data, and here's why. First, I made a backup of /data, and then wiped everything:
* I restored my device to factory 1.2: Wifi works
* I flashed CM7 nightly 113: Wifi works
* I flashed dalingrin's OC'd 6/18 kernel: Wifi works
* I restored /data from my backup: Wifi is stuck at "Connecting..."
I thought it might have something to do with the settings.db file under /data/data/com.android.providers.settings/databases/, but when I deleted that file and rebooted, it made no difference with the Wifi problem.
Something under /data might have a problem with the latest CM7 builds, but I couldn't say what exactly. I'm not an expert at this stuff, so I can only share what I've observed and tried for myself.
Hi. I have the same problems with Wifi since this morning. Is there any other solution then turning on and off airplane mode? thx
Formatted /system and /cache, and wiped the Dalvick cache, then flashed only CM7 nightly 143.
The problem still exists. Wifi is stuck at "Connecting..." Has anyone found a solution to this? It's obviously something to do with a setting/file under /data, because if I format /data, Wifi works like normal. But when I restore my backed up /data, Wifi is stuck at "Connecting..."
I think I found a solution. This worked for me, so I hope it works for others.
Shortly after writing my previous post above, I decided to play around with my NookColor, to see if I could get the Wifi to work normally again. Here's what I did, which fixed the "stuck at connecting" problem for me:
1) Go to Settings > Wireless & networks > Wi-Fi settings
2) Check to enable Wi-Fi, if it's not already enabled
3) Click every wireless network in your list and choose "Forget"
4) Make sure every wireless network is forgotten
5) Check to disable Wi-Fi
6) Check to re-enable Wi-Fi
Instead of "Connecting..." I now see "Scanning" and it picks up the routers around me! I selected my router, and it connected! I am now able to browse the web, update my apps, and all seems to be working normally now!

Man, you really had my hopes up with this one. You're the first person I've seen say every remembered network needs to be forgotten. But I followed your steps exactly, and my NC still will not connect. It sees all wireless networks available. It knows which ones are open and which ones are secured. I can go so far as to enter the password and click Connect. It says "Obtaining IP address from...", then quickly flashes "Unsuccessful", then "Scanning...", then loops indefinitely. I even took your steps one step further and rebooted before turning WiFi back on. Still doesn't work.
This is the fourth time this has happened to me. And every time, the only way I've been able to fix it is to completely reinstall CM7. That's not a fix, that's a wrecking ball. I'm pretty desperate to find a fix because my NookColor has become a joke, almost unusable. Right when I get it to the point of enjoying it and getting it set up just the way I want it, this happens. And the damn thing is useless without WiFi.
I also installed the latest nightly build, which was from last night. Nothing.
It is not big problem but really annoying.
Every time I lock it and after 3~4 hours it just won't wake up.
Edit:
Problem seems gone after I back to stock and upgrade to 3.2 with OTA.
Running stock 3.1 and have the same problem, sometimes it wakes up and other times it don't. I can try to wake up in 5 min and it may and most times not.
Have been turning off wifi and then putting to sleep and that seems to work so far.
Turning off wifi don't work for me, even when screen goes off in 5 min, it won't come back on.
I also noticed that every time wifi will lose connection after being locked.
I've set the wifi policy to "never turn off" but still not working.

I've never had any problems with auto shutdowns or losing wifi connection. I use Kikinash's stock 3.2 com gen2 rom. I've noticed many posts from people with gen1 and/or mixed custom roms having issues.

Yes. I am using lightspeed which based on gen1.
Stock 3.2, the same problem.
But, after I kill Skype and turn off rotation lock, I don't have this problem for an entire day. Today is the second day, and I need to go back home to confirm this problem disappears.
I think it is because of rotation lock. Or my kittens shut of my tablet...

if this fixes yours, I may actually have to root. The deep sleep thing is annoying.
I had 3 problems:
reboot somme minutes after screen off
loosing wifi connection
loosing System Tuner boot settings
I've switched from System Tuner Pro to Setcup and now no more problem
Maybe the problems we could meet are rather coming from some applications than from ROM or Kermel.

+1 on that. I haven't seen a sleep bug since 3.01 on stock.
had this problem on stock 3.1 installed custom rom working fine now
I reflashed the stock ROM and leave it with no app installed.
SHUT DOWN AGAIN!!!!!!
I don't know what to do now. Is this a hardware problem?
Different things seem to all work temporarily. I tried changing the wifi policy to always on and that works for a day. Then I'll change the position of the rotation lock and that will work for a day. Then I installed a wifi toggle gadget and turned it off each time I slept the tablet, and that worked for a day. But none of it seems like a permanent fix.
Most likely it's a hardware issue. I have my rotation locked on landscape, wifi set to sleep when the screen turns off, running rooted near-stock gen1 3.2 (before that I had the 3.0.1 and 3.1 installed OTA and rooted). Does the tablet switch off while plugged in? If not maybe there is a problem with the battery failing to supply power from time to time.

I've been getting it since using taboonay with richard trip's 3.7 kernel, before that I might have had it a couple times in 6 or 7 months.
Guys,
I updated my tab a few days ago. Now the market looks different but unfortunately I'm facing another irritating problem which I have no clue how to solve.
Every time that I turn off the tab, and let it be idle for 10 minutes, when I turn it back on, the WiFi icon will show no bars - which translates into no internet connectivity. That happens while the WiFi button is still pressed (green in the pop-up menu). In order for the device to connect to the net I need to turn the WiFi OFF and than ON and it works.
I checked the WiFi sleep configuration and they are set to "never turn it off" I also rebooted the device but with no change.
Please let me know what to do... as this thing sometimes just drives me crazy.
Thanks.

Flash a custom rom bro. Otherwise you are stuck with Samsung's awesome bugs. If you don't want to flash a custom rom there isn't really much you can do about it considering you're not rooted. What did you update to? KMP???
I did the regular Samsung update -the latest one that was released a couple of says ago. The problem with rooting is losing the coverage I have for insuring the device... which I'm reluctant to do. I'm sure it has a solution somewhere...
Yes I confirm.
This "reconnect" issue is being discussed on many forums with no solutions yet. (except custom ROM)
Been using NC with CM7 for over a year plus. Never any problems - until today. I haven't messed with any base settings for at least three months. The Nuance Swype and Dragon Trial app ran out today - the only thing that I messed with.
Was using it this afternoon on Google+ just cruising around. I put the NC down for about 20 minutes for an errand. Came back and I can't wake it up through the usual press of the "N". Long Press the N - no luck. Tap the Power button - no help. The only thing I could think to do was press and hold the Power button - nothing happened. Long press Power for about 15 seconds and I saw the screen flicker and the Cyanogen Mod green icon appear - like a normal start up. So the desktop arrives and I note that the Wi-Fi is turned off. Usually I have it set to autoconnect to my house router which it has faithfully done since forever. But Wi-Fi is turned off. I clicked it on and after a brief moment I see "Connecting..." up at the top of Wi-Fi Settings but every Access Point including the house router is "Not in Range". Eventually "Connecting..." turns into "Disconnected". Turn Wi-Fi off and then back on. No difference. I think that whatever caused the blowout earlier this afternoon has left the NC wi-fi system in some sort of in-between state.
Later on as I was working with this, I got up to answer the phone, came back and it's shut off again. I was able to re-engage it twice more after pressing this n' that trying to wake the Wi-Fi up. Once engaged it's fine. But as soon as you power down (or it blows up like earlier), Wi-Fi is disonnected, turned off and very hard to re-establish. Incidentally, all other Android devices, tablet, phones in the house off that router work just fine so I don't think it's a matter of a router issue.
Question: Is there a way to "reset" the Wi-Fi functions in the NC? I'm thinking some sort of hard reset is needed but I'm not sure.
Question: What would be my next step to figure out what is causing the unwanted shut down?
Thanks folks. If you need more info, I'm going to be around and will stay on top of this thread.

First that 'unwanted shutdown' is called SOD, Screen of Death. Very common with some devices and combination of apps. Do a little searching on that and you will get overwhelmed with info. Since you were not having it before, it must have something to do with that app or apps that you had to adjust recently. It is tied in with deep sleep and wifi.
Have you tried just forgetting the routers in your wifi list?
Edit: I just reread your post. How long have you had Google + installed? Did you recently just update that?
Edit2: Fortunately, for CM7 there is a patch that fixes SOD. If you want it, I can post a link.
Edit3: Here. Flash this with CWM. It will replace your wifi driver with a patched one that resists SOD.

Thank you and...
Lots of good information here. Google+ has been installed for at leat 6-9 months that I can recall. I could uninstall and reinstall, I guess. But...
It's seemed to have righted itself two days ago, so I haven't had a problem - until...
Last evening. I was doing some eMail using K-9 plus floating through Google+. And I put it down to go do something. Came back and it's still working (pulled up the desktop by clicking the "N") but the Wi-Fi is shut off again. Went to Wireless and Network Settings and what I see is "Wi-Fi" sitting on the words "Turning off...". Everything beneath it is greyed out. Decided to just leave it and see. Half hour or so later, it's still in a state of "Turning off...". I backed all the way out and did a restart. On restart, Wi-Fi is turned off so I hit the box to turn it on, it obeyed and went directly to my home router, signed in and I'm back on again.
As the evening progressed, what I got in the habit of doing is short-pressing the Power button to turn off the screen. I found I could reliably come back, wake it up and the Wi-Fi would start back up again on its own without intervention.
So until I get a chance to sort out all the stuff you gave me to do/patch, I'll try to just manually "sleep" the system. I have to study up more on what you said because the terminology and procedures, while probably very clear to most, are not exactly clear to me.
Thanks again for the info.

First that 'unwanted shutdown' is called SOD, Screen of Death. Very common with some devices and combination of apps. Do a little searching on that and you will get overwhelmed with info. Since you were not having it before, it must have something to do with that app or apps that you had to adjust recently. It is tied in with deep sleep and wifi.
Have you tried just forgetting the routers in your wifi list?
Edit: I just reread your post. How long have you had Google + installed? Did you recently just update that?
Edit2: Fortunately, for CM7 there is a patch that fixes SOD. If you want it, I can post a link.
Edit3: Here. Flash this with CWM. It will replace your wifi driver with a patched one that resists SOD.

@leapin. I should have come back to post add info. My apologies. I believe I was able to resolve this a bit later. I looked at Juice Defender (free) and what it does. I uninstalled it. As soon as I did that, I suffered no more of these SOD problems. Been running great since June.
So was this the real SOD? Or was it Juice Defender setting the power profile in such a way that the Wi-Fi never got the signal to reawaken? What do you think?

It could have been the real SOD being triggered by Juice Defender. Usually it is some app that triggers it (trying to use wifi while the device is in deep sleep), but the underlying problem is SOD. Some folks never experience an SOD.
