so when I turn on the WiFi, it does connect...but my signal icon shows zero...i am running Cyanogen 3.6.8.1, does anyone know how to make the signal appear?
do you get throughput (i.e., does the browser load pages). What type of encryption do you use? Have you tried to reflash?

it goes connect to WiFi...or at least I think it does. browser page does load alot faster than 3G, market is faster, etc. I haven't though about reflash...let me try that first..
same problem too
i go through the something sometimes.... but if u r connected to the wifi even though the sig meter say zero then your good.... if ur wifi is on and u see 3g then u know that its really outta range.... i haven't tried to fix it i guess cyanogen knows and it will be addressed
i just reflashed the ROM with no luck....oh well, at least the WiFi still works i guess...

how long can you browse or stream on 3g before the connection dies when you have full signal?
I'm getting three or four pages, then I have to enable airplane mode to reset the connection. actual speed is great, and signal strength good, but connection time is never over five minutes. does froyo contribute to this?
i'm using the default (no root, nothing special) froyo with the included radio on a stock non-root n1.
So far, I don't see an upper limit on how long my connection will last. It has never cut out on me. So I say I can load an infinite amount of pages before it cuts out...
What Radio/Software are you using?
I'm on stock rom, stock browser on Fido. Latest Radio.

i should have input my current config... updating original post
it doesn't matter if i use the default browser, or dolphin, or any other application. after 4-5 views/pages/whatever it will end up with a non working connection. it appears that the is UP travel, for 30 seconds to a minute or more, but no DOWN travel at all. during this time pages will disply "No Connection at this time, try again later" or a similar message.
I'm using my n1 on tmobile, with 3-4 bars of 3G coverage, while stationary. doesn't seem to matter if i'm on a tower i usually use @ my home, or at work, or where. it's a pretty consistant failure of traffic.
I can go hours. In fact I've never had this issue I've read about.
It sounds like you've eliminated all other options. i.e. does the same thing no matter where you are or what the signal strength is.
Which normally should mean it is on your end. Do you have any apps installed that could interfere? Maybe some data transfer meter, or some apps that are auto syncing?
Ive had this same problem no matter what rom or radio im using. My phone shows a 3g connection with full signal but pages wont load.

none nope
hmmm
My connection could get stuck some times, but that was before I updated to Froyo. What would happen was that it would seem to be constantly uploading and I couldn't use the connection for anything so I had to go airplane-mode and back.
Don't really know what the issue you have is though, especially since mine went away with Froyo. I've been browsing for _long_ periods of time after I got Froyo without any issues so...
There have been a few discussions about this, but I have yet to find a solution that works for me...
I flashed CM6 today and now I'm finding that when I enable wifi, my 3g data connection is lost. Not sure this is really a CM problem, I just want to find a fix.
My setup:
Nexus One - CM6.RC1 - FRF91

what do you mean it's lost.. when you're turning Wifi on, that's the whole point (that you want to use your Wifi connection for data, and not your mobile 3G data.) Maybe I'm not understanding you?

Even with wifi on you still need 3g data to send and receive MMS. I can't replicate this problem, though, so I'm afraid I'm not much help. All I can suggest is trying a full wipe of everything but battery and rotate stats and try to flash it again. See if that helps.
It works fine for me. Are you sure you are confussing not having both icons in the notification bar with 3g being off?
I answered this question a few months ago too.
Your 3g is not lost, it just hides the icon. Go into settings and look what network you are still connected to for yourself, it will still say 3g. If you were to send or receive an mms the 3g icon would briefly pop up, send the message, then disappear. Your phone is working just fine
thanks for the help... @roger, you are correct, i didn't realize that the icon was hidden vs. actually turned off, nor did i think to go check the actual service rather than rely on the icon
My N1 used to be able to get a decent signal everywhere in the house but of late it's struggling to even detect and maintain a solid connection with the wireless in the next room to the router.
I've got a laptop and iPhone in here and all of them have full bars except the N1, which keeps switching from data to wireless and back and can't maintain the connection consistently.
Any ideas on why?
Does it have to do anything with the radio/kernel?
Anyone?
I'm thinking of changing the kernel, would that help?

Try this first.
Tell the phone to forget the network, restart your router and see if reconnecting takes care of it. My notebook used to have this issue so it's worth a shot.
If that doesn't help, then you might look into a different ROM/Kernel or make sure that it's not a hardware fault with the N1 itself.
Could it be due to an OTA update that changed the radio?
The same happens to me, And it gets to a stage that it totally disconnects from wifi. It's really getting ln my nerves as we even got a booster and it doesn't help :?
Sent from my Nexus One using XDA App
same weak wifi signal on HTC Desire.

i second that. though i don't own N1, my Desire was getting full signal last year, recently i am getting very low signal as well. other devices get full signal as usual. so probably there was some update messing up.
i'll keep on searching if someone has better info to resolve.
Radio doesn't have anything to do with WiFi. Kernel does.
i'm having the same problem...has anyone found a fix?
The problem's extended significantly. Bluetooth headset usage stutters profusely, even when I'm right next to the device.
I'm pretty sure the Wi-Fi issue has nothing to do with my router, since my Desire has full signal in the same place my N1 has one bar and is struggling to get a connection.
Changed kernels, ROMs, radios, flashed engineering SPL (I know that doesn't help, however) and even a stock EPE54B ROM. No results.

Makes no difference, I even tried flashing back to stock EPE54B (fastboot).
you may also give intersectRaven's kernel a try. the one with the wifi boost.

2.6.38.6_CAVS-CM7_CFS_20110517_2251 is the one I'm trying.
Nope, Wi-Fi range still the same, Bluetooth still stuttering on the new kernel.
Well i use my phone for work alot and it requires internet. I'm currently using the MilkyS ROM and the first time I flashed it my phone was probably slower than the stock 2.1 but internet was working fine. So i eventually got sick of the speed because games would lag and even general navigating. When I reflashed it the speed was fine it was great infact however my 3g started playing up it shows the 3g symbol, the APN is fine but the data connection is very unstable it might work for 2 minutes then drop out and stop working for 10 and the 3g symbol sometimes disappears when this happens! I'm becoming extremely frustrated please throw all your ideas at me. is it the modem i have to install with milkyS? will it solve the problem if i don't flash with the modem? thanks!!

Well buddy i think the problem is with the carrier !!
My SGS also have the same problem ,i found it out that some places couldn't get perfect 3G coverage that makes our signal reception to stutter,I changed the option to GSM only from GSM auto(PRL)in Jetpack v5.1 JVS this made the signal stable but my 3G is gone....
its even the same in JVQ too and my friend's SGS also does the same,it even did happen to my old MotoDroid/Milestone.So i think its a carrier issue...!
I don't think it is I think it has something to do with modem compatibility because I get the 3g symbol and every so often internet works for a bit of time but then cuts out and it just shows 3g sending but not receiving and sometimes the 3g symbol will disappear. I only had this problem when I tried to reflash the ROM. My reason for reflashing was slow phone speed for some reason but internet worked flawlessly. I had the same issue with the internet with the darky's rom too so I'm not sure of the issue but it's bugging me!!

If you are confident that its a modem issue then try CM7 and these threads maybe useful!

Try these.
As a quick and temporary solution, you can always return back to your stock firmware.

So I will turn on wifi on my phone but for some reason it still shows the 3G bar and I get not signal at my house so when i try to load up webpages its clearly trying to use my non existent data signal rather than the wifi to load thing. why is it doing this? it's supposed to override the data but its not.

I would troubleshoot your network. The signal bars for cellular do not go away when connected to WiFi, so I would not suspect that is a symptom.
well i am aware of my router being complete crap but im not saying the cellular bars im saying even though wifi is enabled it still trying to use data instead of wifi.

How are you measuring that?
Check your IP address and see if you can verify from that.
All I know is that I've had wireless issues since day one with my turbo, in fact so bad that I just never use anymore (yea sucks)
I am at my inlaws, using my laptop to work all day on the wifi and connection is great. on my Turbo - the wifi keeps stopping, hiccupping, etc. I have to keep turning on/off, etc. to get stuff to work. I just gave up.
There are other threads on the Motorola Forum with similar issues.
Wish we could figure out what magic settings are necessary to make wifi stable.
