Wifi Bug - Defy Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Hi on my defy if i run any cm7 or miui gb based roms my wifi connection stops working all the time, but if i use cm9 miui v4 or ms2ginger it works fine. I really like miui gb but cant use it because of this bug, can anyone shed some light on this for me? thanks
I notice in ms2ginger rom features it says- no wifi, apn, vpn bugs

Have you considered the well-known Defy n-Draft bug?
Try disabling n-Draft within your router and see if it makes any difference...

Its not your router. Its kernel related. For some reason alot off people are having wifi troubles with newer kernels. I also have dlink and wifi is alwaysjacked up. It was fine with older kernels.
But why mattock 1.8 works.I use 1.8 with hastarin 8

Are you having this problem on cm6 builds, or just sense builds?
If you use search tool u'll find the proper tool that fixes this issue...
Please use search option before posting.
Thanks
Er.. what are ya talking about there is yet to be any fix for the ppp problem - unless i'm mistaken ?
With the newest kernels, and CM6 (hyperdroid ultimate) my data connection freezes INSANELY often. Really sucks.
in my opinion usability was generally better when i first started slapping android onto my HD2 several months ago.. I've gone through so many kernels i can barely remember which ones worked now..
really hoping for some gingerbread action statistico or if WP7 actually runs well i'd give up android for general usability..
I am still looking for a kernel + build combo for a stable ppp connection. the ppp disconnection drives me crazy~

Defy wifi problem

Hi i was just wondering if anyone else has the problem with their defy where the wifi drops out all the time the connection stays on but it stops working and i have to toggle the wifi off and on to get it working. Does anyone know how to fix this? Thanks
sorry,这个真不知道
I've got the same issue on cm7, to reproduce just try to download a torrent, your wifi will stop working almost instantly...

me too, the same issue on CM7.2 120102, but i've notice when you set the cpu settings on bootloader to default the wifi works fine

Motorola Defy CM72111116, german Froyo base
These are all faulty hardware, try any rom or baseband you like, restore your original rom and return to supplier.
There seem to be quite a lot of them too

No this is a CM7 problem too, has something to do with wpa supplicant
Sent from my 1Ghz CM7 + CM9 Defy
I bet if you used a stock rom for more than a few hours, you'd notice the same drop off.
If it was a cm7 issue with supplicant, other handsets would also suffer, it's all built from the same source.
Sent from my MB525 using Tapatalk
Mine does it with cm7 and miui some builds are better than others. The latest miuiandroid rom seems the best i've tried so far it only drops out a couple of times a day. With other roms almost every time i use wifi for a few minutes

But it's still dropping, personally I would send it back. Moto issued flaky batches, they deserve a high return ratio.
The same issues affect their other phones too, check the atrix thread.

I would if it didn't mean sending it from aus to the usa and going back to a w810i Sony Ericsson dumb phone for at least a month or two.

No faulty hardware. It seems that if you use Gingerbread with the older (Froyo) kernel, sooner or later you'll run into this problem. Under stock Froyo I can easily download, say, more gigabytes without a glitch. I'v tried several GB ROMs (CM7, MIUI, Moto with GreenBreadMod) and all the time wifi sucked, no matter what settings I used.
Try Froyo or if you have red lense, try a Defy+ ROM (except those with the well-known WPA2-bug) and you won't get any problem.
I think it's a problem with the CPU setting of the CyanogenMod and other ROMs, because when I go to bootmenu and use default settings without saving obviously (800mhz defy default), after some days testing, the wifi works fine, for example, I could fully download 2 game data (200mb and 500mb) without getting a dropout, I think I've solved so far, in terms of speed is not greatly affected the navigation of the phone.
Just today, this evening I got my new Defy and later discovered this problem (I am on stock Eclair ROM), what I did was that I added my Defy's MAC address into my DHCP Reservations List which was found in my modem's settings page and it looks like the problem is fixed for now, I'll keep you guys updated if I overcome any problem. By the way I am using WEP encryption method which only supports b/g mode, plus I checked Enable auto IP option in Settings / Wireless Settings / Wifi / Advanced.
Hello,
I have the same issue (no matter of rom, stock 2.1,2.2 or CM7) and setting my router to BG and WPA2/TKIP solves problem. I think It's buggy hw from motorola and AES support. When I switch to AES or TKIP+AES wifi hangs after downloading about 20MB, sometimes just few MB.
I have wifi issue on my latest 7.2 nightly build, too.
So, it looks like, phone wants to connect to saved connections (wifi status is connecting), but there should be status "searching", and stays on status Disconnected. Pushing Search button, do nothing.
When I delete few saved connections, wifi could do "search", and after that, i can connect!.
I think, there is critical numer of saved connections, when it is riched, then wifi can't do search, and connect to any host.
did you try deleting wpa_supplicant?
No,
I've only disabled support for n-mode in tiwlan.ini. Will see if this helps.
Do you mean, delete /etc/wifi/wpa_supplicant.conf?
You think it'll help?

[Q] Wifi acting weirdly CM7 stable

A few days back I flashed CM7.1 stable from the cyanogenmod website. I am having some weird issues with the wifi. The internet suddenly stops working even though I am connected to the internet and I can use the internet on my laptop. When I switch Wifi off and back on again the internet starts working again. Is this a bug in CM7? BTW, I am running the Froyo kernel on this device and this is a T-Mobile UK device.
I was having wifi problems on CM7 until about a week ago.
I then started from scratch and flashed nordic sbf then the latest maniac CM7.2.RC1
Switched baseband to my region (UK) and it's been rock solid ever since, not dropped a single connection.

Thank you guys for your advice. Ill wait around for the next stable update for this device and then see if the issue has been resolved. I thought maybe my defy had a problem.

issues with my wi-fi connection

Hi!
I have no idea how but somehow my wi-fi signal on my phone got like 3 time worse today. e.g. Two days in my room i had full signal for my modem now its barely connected.
I first restarted my modem and it didnt fixed anything. My prothers phone(HTC desite) wifi works perfect with full signal and mine not.
Today when i went to work and tried to connect to the companys free public wifi connection and it couln't find the signal at all.
I have no idea what happend to my phone. curently i'm using custom rom aurora
3.0 beta. This issue just came from nowhere.
Its my wifi adapter damaged? or is there a way to fix this problem by my self?
thx in advance!
dzo is improving the wifi driver, just stay tunned in the rom thread...
Your phone is OK, the driver is not so well
Go back to a more stable version and the prolem should be solved.
I also installed the original 2.3.5 gingerbread and still have the same problem.
its possible that the aurora wifi driver was still present when i installed the offical rom?
The main point of all problems - WHY USE FULL OF BUGS .35 WHEN THERE ARE ALMOST BUG FREE .32 ROMS.

which .32 rom do u recommend? I will install it, because my phone without wi-fi is almost useless
Latest cm7
Sent from my GT-P1000 using Tapatalk 2
It looks like something is wrong with my phone and i'm pretty sure its not the rom thats causing the wi-fi failure. I will clean my phone as much as i can from the rooting and changing roms and than send it to service.
I remmeber that this morning "12 hours ago" my phone felt accidently on the ground.
It didnt shut down or leaved any scratch. maybe than dmged wi-fi. i dont know :S

My wifi network vanished after updating to CM7

Hello!
I've just installed CM7 in my Defy. It's working very well, except that my home wifi network is not appearing in the available networks list!
This happened too with a friend of mine that come to my place some weeks ago, with a Sony/LG dunno-the-model also running ICS under CM. But I didn't look into the problem as I he would only be staying a couple of days.
Now I noticed the exact same thing happened to me. And my network was working perfectly with the stock 2.2.1.
Anyone have any idea of what's happening? lol

In the wifi settings, is there an "avoid poor connections" option? Donno for sure because haven't used CM7, but in CM10 is like that.

No =(
There's only something related to wifi sleep policy, MAC and fixed IP.
Looks like the problem is related to Wifi Channels (CM doesn't search after channel 11), as I've seen in CM forums.
I'll test it by the night and I'll post here if it works.
