Hello !
I still have problems of "connecting/disconnected" wifi after all this time since de new CM wifi driver of march... I don't use a lot of wifi, but it could be good to have access to it sometimes..
I tryed to change change the wifi driver to an old one by flashing a custom .zip like said in some posts, but it didn't work. With the stock motorola room the wifi works very well.
And with CM11 it still have problems.
Has someone an idea ? I don't know what log (or something like that) could be usefull to answer the problem, if someone can tell me what to search it would be good !
Thanks in advance,
Clément
Nobody ?
Are you using static IP or DHCP ?
Sent from my MB526 using xda app-developers app
Yes, I tried static IP or DHCP, when I flash a stock rom it works directly on the first boot, with CM and the new wifi driver it's impossible, it's always "connecting" -> "disconnected".
Something is quite strange : Even when I have 4 wifi bar, when the status switches to "connecting" it falls to one bar. And when it comes back to "disconnected" the full signal reappears...
Quite strange...
Change lease time from router. Also what is the security set to? Should be wpa2 aes
Sent from my MB526 using Tapatalk 4
At home my router is set on WEP (I know, bad idea), and at work, WPA2-AEP PEAP (with login an password).
I tried with no security at home, it's not better...
Lease time?
Sent from my MB526 using Tapatalk 4
No idea.
I can't check it in my office, I'll chek at home, but I still have this problem in static IP, so it should'nt be that, isn't it ?
That's true, static ip should have worked. Disable Wi-Fi optimization from settings and set band to 2.4 only. If you still have a problem I guess it's because of some incompatibility. The driver cannot be easily changed, old Wi-Fi driver was replaced for android/kernel compatibility
Sent from my MB526 using Tapatalk 4
I just tried with another router, WPA PSK, with static IP, still the same problem : "Connecting -> disconnected", etc...
The wifi band was already 2.4Ghz, and wifi optimisation was disabled.
What can I do to solve this compatibility problem ?
Thanks for your answers.
Wpa2? Can't think of something else ATM
You could try with dhcp on newer router, but I'm sure you've done that already

I tried other networks yes, same problem. I'll try to modify the connection timeout, but the problem is seen on any router, so I don't think that it's this... I can't connect to my gopro hero 3 for exemple, it's the think that bother me the most in fact !
This is not a CM issue, so they may not help you. FYI, WPA2 - AES should be used. TKIP caused similar issues for me

But why did it work well before march 2013 and the new driver then ?
No clear idea. AFAIK, it's problematic on stock, but I've never tried that configuration on the newer driver.
Sent from my MB526 using Tapatalk 4
So it's impossible to use any router other than WPA2 on the defy with the new driver ?
I can say goodbye to my gopro, office network and so on if I want to keep CM11 ? That's quite strange ! I'm the only one in this case ? Noone has a gopro and CM11 ?

If it was me, I'd check to make sure you're broadcasting SSID on your router. For some reason, at least this is the way it is for me and I would be really baffled if it wasn't happening to everyone else as well, these android devices (I have an EVO and a GT), have a problem with connecting without it being able to see the SSID broadcast. All of my other devices (laptops, desktops, etc...) have absolutely no problems either way (broadcasting SSID or otherwise) connecting to my WiFi setup. Just the adndroid devices.
I had same problem not sure how i fixed it. But i reflashed everything like 1st time
I think it will b the modem file.
BUT check your wireless setting first

My u8800 has a pretty unstable wifi. It looses the conection several times during connection. This is particurlarly annoyng when using the phone as a powerpoint remote over wifi and the conection breaks. Is there a death-grip on it? Or is it a software bug?

I read about Blade Wifi Fix so installed today from market. I haven't been home much so not sure how it's going. It might be worth a look. Let us know if you try it.

Hello !
Well depending on what rom, if your using B133 which is possible. I recommend you upgrade to either B136 or B160 which doesn't do this.

I've updated to B136 and still have pretty awful wifi, disconnects all the time and doesn't reconnect despite my connection being remembered. Usually displays as 'disabled' when I check the settings.
I'm thinking of getting another handset it's so bad

Cannot connect to Wifi hidden SSID!
Hi there!
Huawei X5 - U8800
Android ver. 2.2.1
Kernel ver. 2.6.32.9-per
[email protected]#1
Build: B160
There is no chance to connect to Wifi hidden SSID!
I tried with previous builds also (B136).
EAP method: PEAP auth
Phase 2 auth: MSCHAPV2
Anyone knows this problem yet?
Any solutions?
Brgds,
S.
Unhide the SSID... If is the Desire HD there is an "issue" with froyo + Hidden SSID's... found out after having 3 days of the same problem, did some digging and found it doesn't like the Hidden SSID.
The other option is using a program like WiFi Connector which forces a connection to a Hidden SSID, not tried it myself but apparently is works.
Thanks for the info. I cannot "unhide" it because it is a company hidden SSID
I will try this Wifi Connector ...but i tried some other apps before without success
Any other thoughts ?
Brgds,
S.
Unfortunately it doesn't work either with Wifi connector
Any known custom ROM with this bug fixed?

Yes, I guess you'd better upgrade your wireless router coz 802.11n is way better in terms of stability and signal strength.

I personally don't think this is a bug indeed. It comes to the same problem for some USB wireless clients in the market.
I suggest that you can solve this problem by choosing "Add Wi-Fi Netword" manually. This option is at the bottom of the list. After pressing it, you'll be asked to input the SSID as well as the encryption (WEP, WPA2, ... etc). Provided that you input them correctly, you should be able to connect to that specific SSID.
Hi there!
I know how to mannualy add SSID and enc. settings... it's not problem in setting tough but in software version of Android i guess. When i set Phase 2 Auth to: MSCHAPv2 or whatever ... after i am getting back into settings Phase 2 Auth is set back to: NONE
I'am stuck ...
I guess you need to ask your IT colleagues if they have enforced additional security in their wifi setup like MAC address allow list and limited DHCP.

Hi,
im on the official Nexus S ICS update (OTA) but since then my Nexus S always crashes my Dlink dir-657 router.
Is there anyone else with this problem?
I'm pritty sure its the Nexus on ICS because i tryed this numeroes times.
What do you mean with crashes? Router restarts?
I have DIR-825 and no problem with either stock OTA or custom ICS
Hahah no. I device that connects to a router would not make it crash. You have most likely installed it poorly. Call geek squad.!

I've had something which may be a similar experience.
On my old HTC tattoo, connecting via wi-fi would cause problems with other devices on the network. The instant I connect with my tattoo, other devices would get an error message and have "No internet access" on their wifi connection. I'd need to hard reset the router in order for other devices to connect again.
Just reset the router.. or try another Kernel?
I resetted the router multiple times, this morning i had problems again. After switching on and of the router all was fine again. But im not planning every time i use my Nexus s on wifi switching on and of the router!
Im pretty sure i had this problems with my previous router to. But i changed him for this model
Now i know it wasn't the router.
Anyway as soon i turn on wifi on the nexus s my router crash.
Set up a static IP on the phone and reserve an internal IP on the router. Sounds like a dhcp issue.

Actually he isn't the only one my dlink router crashes too it has something to do with the internals of the nexus s connect with the "n draft" if you switch to "g" it won't crash but the nexus s has had this issue since the beginning although I will say I have only experienced this a couple of times after the ICS update

Thanks for this reply, im trying to switch to "g" and see if it happens again.
the only problem with switching to "g" is that, you may experience slow downs while trying to transfer files over your network or trying to stream HD in between devices on the network. Its a price you have to pay
I've definitely encountered this before with my dlink router as well. I've attributed it to a buggy ath9k driver that's been included with openwrt 10.03. It's improved over time as more ath9k patches have made it into the source, but still happens from time to time when the nexus is using wireless. Other devices don't cause it to happen.
I solved IT ... just put wifi protection on aes only

Ha! I had this happen to me yesterday. It was effed up. I connected my phone to wifi and then my router went all "I don't want to work anymore". It did work after a hard reset, but I just think its interesting seeing this post today. Anyway, you are not alone!

First - Hi all, long time reader but this is the first time I've needed to start a thread - so sorry about my first post being a problem/Q!
I've not had my Nexus 4 long, but have got some pretty annoying Wi-Fi issues. I've searched for answers but it seems that people have different Wi-Fi problems and I just wanted to see whether my issue was a common one and, if so, is there a fix on the horizon?
My issue is that I can connect to some routers but not to others (work, home, most open networks)... when I connect it simply says "saved, secured with WPA/WPA2" but wont then connect.
Phones running stock 4.2.1 with franco kernel r28 and the things I have tried are:
Resetting routers
Assigning static IP address
Wi-Fi direct from my Nexus 7
Cleared cache from recovery
changed the Wi-Fi band from 'Auto' to 2.4Ghz and 5Ghz
Flashed new kernel
Very frustrating and because of my signal the lack of Wi-Fi has made me go back to my old phone while I wait for a fix... which connects perfectly to the networks (S3 running CM 10.1)
Is this a 4.2.1 issue - as seems to be the consensus with other Wi-Fi issues or possibly a hardware issue?
Thanks for any info!
There's one fix you've not tried which might work for you (it didn't for me). You would have to be rooted though, which is going to system/etc/dhcpcd and changing the permission on dhcpcd-run-hooks to read and execute from "others". This help some people out but turns out for me that my router isn't compatible with my phone. (DSL-2780).
I've noticed that some of the mobile devices(eg iPhone 3gs, SGS2) are quite sensitive to wireless channel which your router/ap broadcast on.
Try manually switch to channel 6 or 8 that solved my issue - I don't believe in incompatible routers usually problems are related to config.
It is more complicated with an access to the public WiFi as you can not modify the setup.

I've now tried this and still can't connect to the affected Wi-Fi networks, probably going to have to wait for 4.2.2 to see if that fixes it...

I have avoid poor wifi disabled but it does not help
I really hope El Goog fixes this asap as it is very frustrating.
I've had this issue forever. Android phones hate low or overcrowded signal. Though my nexus 7 always works fine. Makes me think it is the lack of WiFi antenna strength

I have the same problem with my old generation nexus 7. New one works just fine, galaxy nexus - just fine, xperia s - also fine, macbook pro - fine. I can't blame the network. Something is messed up. I tried a factory reset (as I'm selling this one) and it didn't help. also after quite some time of trying it wrote "Avoided poor connection" under the name of my network, but I can't alter the "Avoid poor connections setting" from the setup wizard.
Any help is greatly appreciated.
I think the problem is DHCP too. I used to use WPA2 for my LAN. My Nexus 4 appears to not connect to those networks anymore.

Tried to set a static IP address? And you could also playing with the WiFi frequency bands. Some reported they can't connect to WiFi on 5 GHz band. Could try the 2.4 GHz one instead.
In cases of weak signal, DHCP may fail when connecting. If this happens, move closer to the AP (stronger signal).
If you have 2 routers and use 1 as an access point, use the LAN (not WAN) port on the second router and disable the DHCP server on the same router. You can use the same SSID and float between them if the other settings match (encryption and password). Use 2 different channels as far apart as possible (like 1 and 11). On 2.4 GHz, only use channels 1 to 11. On 5 GHz, only use 36, 40, 44, 48, 149, 153, 157, 161, or 165. The other channels have FCC limitations in the US. Use WPA-2 only with CCMP (AES) encryption. WPA should only be used with TKIP, while WPA-2 should only be used with CCPM (AES). I have seen a lot of issues when mixed is used.
Hope this helps...
Thanks for the suggestions. While testing I was standing just beside my router, so no weak signal problem. What I did after many tries to connect was reinstall stock 4.3 but version which ended with the letter 'V'. I was unable to see my problematic android build version, because I was stuck at welcome screen. So the reinstall fixed it.
