I am having issues with my wifi. After it has been in sleep mode for a while it will not connect properly. The WiFi is connected to a network but the icon is grey, not blue and will not actually do anything.
Another post suggested to turn off the Google Wifi scan but it was already off when i went to change the setting in advanced WiFi settings. Any other suggestions I could try?
Wifi - Settings - Advanced - Keep WiFi on during sleep -> Always
Wifi - Settings - Advanced - WiFi optimization -> turn it off
check those two, could help.

The topic says it all.
Is there a way to keep 3G & Wifi enabled at the same time ?
Or is it possible to control the stack routing table, to control when to change from Wifi to 3G(Signal Strength, battery level, ...).
My goal is to make a smooth transition from 3G to Wifi and Wifi to 3G, so they must be enabled together for a short period of time.
As tested in this thread : forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?p=5974482
When Wifi is turned on, rmnet0 in the routing table table disappears, and reappears when disabling WIFI.
So as I can't retain rmnet0, I can't manage the routing table as I want.
If I'm missing something please let me know.
Thanks.
I keep both wifi and mobile enabled all the time on my phone.
Go to Menu > Settings > Wireless & networks > Wi-Fi settings > Menu > Advanced > Wi-Fi sleep policy > Never.
Then make sure wifi and mobile are both enabled on your phone.
That setup gives you wifi hookup whenever wifi is available, and mobile connection when wifi isn't available. You're always connected to one or the other, even when you're on the move, and the switching is seamless and transparent.

Nice tip.
Thanks
Thanks, but isn't there a way to control and manage this.
For example, both are enabled with sleep policy and everything done like you just said.
So I am on 3G network, detect WIFI, but don't want to connect to it, due to certain parameters, like battery, signal strength, ...
Or can I just rely on the automatic switching when WIFI is detected nearby ?
Don't know if you guys know this or not. But having WiFi conected gives you the ability to be on the phone and web at the same time.
after the 2.2 update from htc my Wifi isn't stay always as i have set it but after lockscreen it power off.Thats a bugger when i want to be on the wifi connected all the time.
any ideas?is it a bug a missing-miss configured setting?
i want to be always on .
thanks.
Go to Settings > Wireless and Networks > Wi-Fi > Menu Button > Advanced > Wi-Fi Sleep Policy > Change to "Never"
Note: Even inspite of this, many report issues with re-connection, but, the problem is reduced a lot.
I want to get Android (and perhaps my google account) to forget all WiFi networks I've used. I can't remove them from Settings > Wireless and Networks > WiFi Settings because this menu no longer responds when I have WiFi enabled, and I can't see the list of networks when WiFi is disabled.
Anyone got any ideas?

neidlinger, you've just made my day. I've been trying to get this fixed for a while. It's caused all kinds of problems for me - one time it even randomly rebooted and removed all my widgets. Many thanks!
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.
As the title suggests, my phone will not connect to known WiFi networks if I do not wake the phone myself.
Image being away from home, having both mobile data and WiFi enabled. The screen is off throughout the whole time and when I reach home it is supposed to connect to my WiFi. Instead, it connects to my WiFi only if I wake the phone. If I leave the phone sleeping (standby) it will stay on mobile data, unless I wake the phone myself.
Is this regular behaviour?
PS. The phone has not problem retaining connection to WiFi networks when sleeping. It just won't make a new connection even to know networks.
There is a setting in wifi settings under advanced where you can change how and when the wifi must be on/off.

If you mean "Keep WiFi on during sleep", I have it enabled already!
Have you played around with power saving settings?
