Soo, I have Sac's Custom rom installed, under network connections there was a toggle for wifi hotspot that work with no problems but after I went to
into Cpu control, entered into the pimp my rom section and ticked the battery tweak, Camera Quality tweak, jpg image quality, and flashled tweaks. The Wifi hotspot toggle under network connections disapeared. Anyone know how I can get it back besides reflashing?
*edit*
never mind just ended up reflashing again and seems the hot spot toggle is still there after applying the same tweaks 1 by 1
*edit*
andd it randomly dissappeared again

Wow. I can't believe how incredibly bad WiFi is on the Sapphire update.
It keeps dropping connections on places I never had a problem, and won't reconnect by itself.
Anyone else noticing this?
download WiFi-Lock from the marketplace (it has the green icon), and it'll stay connected =]
I was having the same problem too.
I have no problems with wi-fi. Rooted haykuro 5.0.1Gr3 build.
WiFi lock is built in to Haykuro's builds

Both the G and H builds have an option under Settings - Wireless Controls - Wi-Fi Settings - (press Menu button) - Advanced for Wi-Fi sleep policy. If you set it to "Never" you're doing the same thing WiFi Lock does.

Brilliant!
no henchman is right also the siginal of the WIFI on the phone is crap with the H builds...used to get an awesome siginal around my house now it's 1 bar if that :/
Worked fine for me on G builds.
I haven't had any problems on 5.0.2H. I am using DD-WRT on my Linksys router.
well, I reflashed back to RC33 and it's radio, and the problems dissapeared.

Listen to him. The options for wifi connections have changed. By default it is set to drop wifi connections when the screen goes off. You have to do what he said in the menu to set it so it doesn't drop the wifi connection. There is nothing wrong with the new builds!

I found that setting within 2 minutes, when I was troubleshooting the wifi problems.
Made no difference.
Wifi is more or less useless for me with the JFv1.50 ADP1.5 ROM. It'll connect just fine, good speeds, good signal strength.. but it will hang all the time. I'll still have the wifi notification icon showing full bars, but the connection is dead. Only solution is to disable/enable wifi to get it working again, which only takes about 10 seconds using Toggle Settings, but that too gets tiresome after a while.
It's worth mentioning that I had no problems at all with earlier ROMs, like ADP1.0, JFv1.43 ADP1.1 and JFv1.43 ADP1.1H. It all started with the 1.5 update. Unfortunately the Wifi Fixer app (neither the new nor the old one) does not work either. Wifi Lock does nothing that's not already built-in to 1.5 (keeping wifi active active when screen shuts off).
Something's funky with the new radio.
Wi-fi problems.
I too have been having the wi-fi blues. No issues with prior builds. As I moved up to JFv1.50ADP1 with new radio, I started having isses. When I start wifi with toggle it will just show icon with no signal, I have to access the menu before the "connecting, obtaining IP" prompt starts. I have also noticed low signal with a Linksys wireless N 1 room away, before full signal and now two bars. Hope there will be fix soon, maybe a new radio update.
Posted in my own thread but didn't get feedback:
First: I guess you did the radioUpdate (to be found on haykuros webite?) Since then even my reception got a lot better.
I have wifi turned on all times but it goes to sleep while standby and it works more or less fine:
The problem is, that sometimes it doesn't reconnect when I turn the screen back on.
When I go to settings I find it in the state: "connection unsuccessful, please try again" and I have to click it before it tries again. That is annoying is there no way around it?
So yesterday I tried to update my nook color rooted cm7 (not sure which version, but was used when nightly 177 was highest) to CM7.1.0-11162011-nightly-encore, but the thing is, my wifi would connect for maybe 5 minutes before it disconnects.
Then I would have to go to wifi settings to reconnect or sometimes it reconnects by itself. On my old version of CM7, the wifi was flawless. It would never disconnect like it does now, so I am sure it is not router problem.
Now it just says "out of range" when disconnecting. I tried the method where I forget all my networks and then connect again, but it didnt work. I also checked my adhoc = 0 thing from the root.
Anyone know why it is like that? I rooted my sd card with http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1000957 website.
since my wifi didnt work, i reformatted my sdhc card and set it up again, following the rules on the website including setting up wifi before installing gapps. Wifi still disconnects.
I have also tried using the update-cm-7.1.0-encore signed, which still doesnt solve the wifi problem.
Is this because the wifi goes into sleep mode even if the screen is on? Im pretty much on the wifi setting screen, and seeing the wifi go from connected -> disconnected -> scanning "loop". My wifi is set to sleep when screen is off, but it should still stay connected if my screen is on right? It just disconnects and reconnects constantly while I look at the wifi settings
Thank you for reading! please help..
Same issue. Wifi keeps disconnecting after about 5 minutes.
Have you tried deleting all of your old wifi spots?
Ok I fixed my problem by limiting my router to 802.11 g. Suddenly no more drops.
Yea I did the "forget" all wifi networks and it still disconnects.
Would it still be my router problem if the wifi stayed connected on my earlier version? The one before I upgraded to cm7.1.0.
Hmm. I had that issue until going into advanced wifi settings and changing the Wi-Fi sleep policy to never. Will keep monitoring.
Where did you find the advanced wi-fi settings? I go to Settings -> Wireless & networks -> Wi-Fi- Settings, but my choices are: turn on Wi-Fi, Network notification, and add Wi-Fi Network.
Also, I'm using [CM7.2-RC0] MiRaGe - KANG build of CyanogenMod...I don't know if that would make a difference?
I assume you already figured out since you posted on the other thread.
My S4 keeps reconnecting to my wifi for some reason. I get the toast notification saying "Connected to <SSID>" that will sometimes pop up every 5-30 seconds, but it never goes more than 30 minutes without doing it. My router is an Asus RT-AC66U. I've tried forcing 2.4Ghz only, 5Ghz only, changing the preamble (short, long, auto), changing the channel (manually specifying each channel, and also tried auto), and even manually assigning an IP address on the phone. None of these things help.
I have "check for internet service" under the advanced wifi options disabled, and also have it set to keep wifi on during sleep.
The phone shows Very Good signal quality. Using wifi analyzer shows a signal strength of between -45 to -68 db, depending on what room I'm in, so that's definitely not the issue. It even does it sitting in the same room as the router. No other devices have an issue, including my roommate's S3.
I can fix it by turning off wifi power save mode (*#0011#), but then my phone heats up quite a bit whenever I'm using it, and my battery drains at 10%/hour even when I'm not connected to wifi. So that's not really a solution.
Is there any other fix for this? It's a bit ridiculous. I'll load a webpage and it'll interrupt halfway through when it re-connects to wifi. Since it keeps reconnecting to wifi, it causes all the phone's connections to be re-initiated, and also seems to trigger Google Services to update the phone's location. This results in Google Services (NetworkLocationLocator) holding a wakelock for 1/3 of the time.
So it seems the problem was IPv6, specifically IPv6 that autoconfigures. All the wifi networks I typically use are dual stack IPv4/IPv6. What I'm guessing happens is that the phone doesn't wake up for some of the IPv6 broadcasts, and then the phone reconnects to fix this once it realizes it's out of sync. Turning off power save mode means it gets all these packets and doesn't have to reconnect.
So I fixed it by having Tasker disable IPv6 on wifi whenever it connects to a wifi network (it's re-enabled if you disable wifi or reboot). Run this as root:
echo 1 > /proc/sys/net/ipv6/conf/wlan0/disable_ipv6
I wonder if this is just a bug in the chipset, or if it's a driver issue that can be fixed in a later update.
I had the exact same issue with mine (same router) and solved it by disabling WMM APSD in the router settings. Wireless>professional tab>5GHz drop down box>Enable WMM APSD>Disable.
A guy in the other GS4 Q&A forum gave me this solution and I haven't had an issue with it since.
I have this same issue... so when my Wi-Fi is dropping like that, I disable the Wi-Fi power save mode by dialing *#0011# then pushing the menu button and selecting the Wi-Fi option from the pop-up, the psm button is there. Fixes it every time, doesn't stick thru a reboot tho.

Hello, I'm having the same problem but I'm new to Tasker and don't know where to put that command. Would you mind showing me how to implement it please? Thanks.
Edit: Nevermind, I think I figured it out.
S4 will not store setwork
I'm running SACS Custom 7.1 with Faux kernal, and since I update to 7.1 from v7, my phone doesn't save any wifi profiles I connect to. Another thing I've noticed is no image shows up when recieving a call, so I have no idea who is calling. I got a 3rd party caller id from the market to fix that, but still a strange issue.
I am experianced with phones, but haven't posed enough here to post in SACs page, so any ideas would be helpful.
I tried looking at settings from 3minit or XPOSED, but nothing has changed since V7, so I'm wondering where to look.
The wifi profile shows up in data/misc/wifi/wpa_supplicant.conf, but only the one I am connected to at the time. If i disconnect and reconnect I need to re-enter the password.
Not important but annoying.
Thanks for your help in advance, you guys are awesome!

Wifi issue is faux kernel flash a different kernel. A module from xpose is the culprit sorry I forgot which one was it. To solve all your problems just do a clean install of v7.1 and when doing that make sure you click stock kernel or flash a preferred kernel. I dont use xpose so I dont have that problem so its your choice if you want to use it just read like 10 pages from the thread to find your answer.

I have to do this same thing and it works for me perfectly. A little bit of a hassle after reboots, but it works. I sent this to Samsung and they've opened a ticket on it (reportedly) to be addressed as they've had a lot of complaints about WiFi areas with multiple Access Points.
Hey,
when i had stock rom i used to have problem with my wifi reception on my device i.e htc explorer which was solved by enabling the option "BEST WIFI PERFORMANCE" under advanced setting in networks and settings>WIFI..but now after flashing CM10...there is no such option that can be ticked from advance settings... so now again the wifi is dropping out...it stays connected but no internet after some time. Hoping to know if there is any fix to this problem...??
Thanks in advance.
Ever since the very last update to NG5 I have had issues with bluetooth connectivity. More specifically any and all bluetooth devices I connect (full charged batteries)) have scratchy, choppy, and intermittent audio. I for the life of me cannot figure out why nor how to fix it. I would really like some assistance.
So basic details.
Device: SPH-l720t
Stock Rom: NG5
Wifi power saving mode disabled through dialer menu
Normal Wifi options selected
Wifi Calling enabled (needed because of crap signal in house)
Things I've tried:
Re-provisioning through dialer menu
Removal / reset / re-connection of bluetooth devices

Does this only happen when you are using WiFi calling? Unfortunately WiFi and Bluetooth frequencies are fairly close to one another (both are in 2.4 Ghz range) and can and do interfere with each other. You could very well get interference when using both at the same time. The WiFi is going to have activity when you are on a call, and so is the bluetooth - and they're both going to be active at exactly the same time - increasing the chances of interference. The only thing I can think to suggest is to change the channel that your router is using and see if that helps.
If it's happening all the time (even when not using WiFi calling), then maybe try deleting and re-pairing your bluetooth devices.
