Is anyone else noticing GTalk issues when on Wifi? Any time Wifi is enabled, GTalk signs out. As soon as Wifi is disabled, GTalk signs back in.
The Wifi is indeed operational, as other apps are using the data w/o issue.
This is on a stock Razr M, unrooted, Android 4.1.1.

Figured it out, firewall config on my router wasn't allowing the traffic.

I have tried several of the Team Whiskey roms (Nero 2,3, & 5; currently on Bionix-V) as well as the official 2.2 rom and had the same problem in all of them - the WiFi Calling app was draining my battery at a rate of roughly 7%/hour. Then I noticed when I brought the phone to my mom's house, it was only losing about 2%/hour. The difference between our wireless networks is that her's is 802.11g only, where as mine supports 802.11n. So I changed the settings on my router to G-only, and now the battery is only losing 2%/hour at my house as well! I don't know why, but it seems the WiFi Calling app only severely drains the phone's battery on 802.11n networks!
Of course, in the absence of a true fix for this issue, I would prefer to force the phone to use G-only rather than change my entire network, but I have not been able to figure out how to do that. Fortunately, my router supports an additional guest network. Setting the guest network's encryption to WEP supports G-only, while my remaining clients can still connect to the main WPA network with true N speeds.
I would love to hear from other people to determine if an 802.11n network is truly the source of the WiFi Calling app battery drain issue. If it is, maybe a clever developer out there can determine how to fix it!
I only broadcast G signal as mine isn't capable of N and no one uses B and it still saps my battery like the IRS on my wallet.
Bionix-v has wifi calling? Didn't know that, and its also not shown in titanium backup.

Over on Eugene373 site, in the macnut rom for the vibrant, is a zip to remove WiFi calling, and it helps. It removes the associated lib files from the phone, and negates the proper lines in the build.prop by replacing it with a modded one. I integrate this fix into my own build, and it helps battery a whole lot. Granted, if you use WiFi calling, then this is void as it will remove it.

WiFi calling is an add-on app... the download link is on the same post as the Bionix-V link

Yeah that's what I'm saying, I haven't installed wifi calling and still I get the same rate of drain on my bionix-v.

Hmm... I wonder if the battery drain is related to just being connected to an 802.11n network. Do you have your wifi on, and, if so, are you connected to an N network? Does turning the wifi off (or connecting to a G network) significantly reduce the battery drain?

its possible,I didnt have an N network to test on when I had my vibrant,but with my fascinate it definitely dies faster when connected to N vs being connected to G.
For what it's worth, I had this problem on my Nexus One as well.

Does the wifi calling app works with other rom besides Bionix?
I simply hated it and deleted it using Root Manager
was interested in it because the reception dropped near my house. It said invalid sim when I did the 2.2 update and the guy at t-mobile said a master reset would resolve it. Still have that issue after the master reset.
My unrooted Xoom does not want to keep connected to my wifi signal since the upgrade. I did not have this problem before, but now if I set the Xoom down for a minute or so, the screen on or not, and pick it back up it is no longer connected. Sometimes I find I am without a signal when clicking on a link just after entering a web site while actively surfing. I have the wifi disconnect policy set "Never." Is anyone else experiencing more problems since the upgrade?
No issues for me so far.

The only wifi problem I have is the kernel wifi driver memory leak mentioned elsewhere. My xoom will eventually reboot itself if left on wifi overnight.

This really sounds like the WiFi driver leak problem as mentioned before. Your symptoms are exactly what I was experiencing, pre upgrade.
The workaround is to not set the disconnect policy to "Never". Since I have turned that off, I have not seen the problem.
Nope... no problem here... tried to restart?

Sorry, no problems here with wifi.

No problems here either.
Thanks everyone for all the input.
I must have missed the discussion on the wifi driver leak problem but will do a search on it. If you don't use the "never" setting, which one do you use? It looks like a compromise with the other two settings as I like to have the email and the internet ready and waiting when I turn the Xoom on.
To another suggestion, I have tried rebooting several times.
After further use, it now appears to be an intermittent problem as on occasion today it has not been dropping out.
Im also having this problem since the OTA with my Wireless tether connection.
The tiamat kernel fixes the wifi issues. Check it out in the dev section
i am running stock xoom non rooted. I too am seing issues occasionally with wifi. I have noticed the signal has become lower since the upgrade. My connection used to he good and now ranks as fair. I have restarted bit he the access point and the xoom no change
Pardon me if this is a repeat, but I've searched and found nothing.
I'm on Moto Defy/MB525, rooted, overclocked, CM7.
My issue is this....Wifi on my home network connects just fine, surfs just fine, until I connect andFtp to my Mac. Initially, everything is good...connects fine, ls- fine, allows selection of file on host and destination on client. The problem comes in between 2% & 5% transfer; wifi stalls, socket disconnects(Server kick out?), wifi becomes inactive for anything/everything. I can cycle the wifi and it 's functionality returns. Then I'm back at the start. Thought it was andFtp, but it works fine with my website, as does my Mac.
So I guess my question is....why would/should/could FTP cause the wifi to fail?
Thanks in advance

Not exactly the same as your issue but I see you use CM7 and thats the one ROM that I have had wifi issues with, do the problems occur when the screen goes to sleep ?The issue I have is that regardless of wifi sleep policy when the screen goes to sleep,although I am "connected" streaming radio starts to stutter,or transfer rates will crash,I know its not the same issue as the one you have but here is a link to bug report for CM 7
http://code.google.com/p/cyanogenmod/issues/detail?id=4232
The motorola milestone was/is plagued by similar issues when using WPA2 with certain access points. I think it was related to buggy TI wifi drivers.
For milestone, this was recently fixed in kabaldans CM7 port.
Maybe the defy is using the same buggy drivers?

Thank you both for the answers.
Bombardier, sleep seems irrelevant, it does stutter and I am on wpa2, figure I'll try something different now, eh?
Nanzy, ill try the other rom you mentioned.
Thanks again.

This turns out to be the solution. Switching to WPA solved the entire issue. Thanks again for the insight.
I know that there are problems with Exchange and such, but everything was working fine on my phone up until about 2 weeks ago. I have been running CM7 for quite some time and always left wifi on to connect at work and home. Never had any issues connecting to my Exchange account. Then I started to notice some connection issues with e-mails not coming in, etc. It was very random it seemed, sometimes on wifi, sometimes on 3G. So this weekend I decided to try installing CM7.2 and CM9 and maybe it would resolve my issues. Now I can get my phone to connect over 3G, but if I turn on wifi it will not connect, even after I turn wifi back off, until I reboot the phone. Not sure how to fix this problem, I enjoy using wifi quite a bit and it obviously keeps my data usage lower. Any ideas on how I can fix this? Currently running the latest CM9 beta.
Did you flash any kernel? Anyways try updating now the kernels are fixed today.

Today while at McDonald's I was having a steak bagel and browsing the forums. I noticed that my phone was connecting to the free unsecured WiFi provided in the lobby. I would disable the WiFi and moments later it was back on and attempting to reconnect to the WiFi.
I checked my settings to make sure that I hadn't enabled that option for my WiFi settings and it was disabled. I also checked the AT&T Smart Wi-Fi app and it was also disabled there. After freezing the app with Titanium the problem with it forcing itself onto WiFi was resolved.
Did I miss something, or is this a known issue? If you had this same problem what did you do to resolve it?
