Wifi doesn't work with FRF85B Passion Update - Nexus One Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Rebooted the phone but wifi does not work with latest FRF85B update. Any ideas?

I had the same thing happen to me as well. All I did was reboot, and it worked out fine for me.

Rebooted but the url address bar just sits there (for any browser) but 3G works. Very frustrating.

Works fine here.
Are you running the Froyo radio?

No, do I need to update the radio? How is this done?
*Edit* Did a battery pull and the wifi came back. Odd but working.

Cyanogen Wi-Fi Issue

My phone can't connect to my router even though everything is set up correctly and the SSID is on visible. It always says "Not in range. Remembered." ~~
However it can detect my neighbours router ?_? I had this problem on both versions experimental and stable but i can connect normally with any other rom. I really dont want to switch to another rom =/
Here some more infos:
Haykuros "DaNgEr" SPL
Cyanogen recovery 1.4
Cyanogen Rom 4.1.11.1
Running the same rom as you, but not the same spl. Hard spl is installed on mine. No issues what so ever with WiFi. I've never had WiFi issues with Cyanogen's, even with 4.0.4.
Yours is the exception I'd guess, not the rule.
I don't believe the ROM is the source of your problem.
Moved as not development.
As i said it detects Wi-Fi on any other rom also on my original nand backup. ~~
The 3G connection seems weeker too and i constantly get "connection lost please retry" msgs.
FWIW, when I run the same ROM and same SPL as you I don't have any WIFI problems (dlink router). I would try re-installing everything.
Re-Installed everything a couple of times but it still wont work ~~ Guess i have to wait for the next barebone stable lol.

Try MENU... SETTINGS...WIRELESS CONTROLS.......WI-FI SETTINGS....MENU....ADVANCED.....REGULATORY DOMAIN....
Try each setting to see if this helps. I had similar trouble and set to 14 it worked fine.
Good luck
YOU SIR ARE MY HERO!
Thank you very much Didn't knew that wi-fi had advanced settings tytytyty.
I had the exact same issue and just tried extending the regulatory domains...wouldn't have thought it would have made a difference or have any effect but it worked and found my router instantly. No idea why my router wasn't showing up in the first place but there ya go!
My wifi connects just fine, but the web only seems to work for Opera Mini, Facebook etc... but it won't work with Dolphin Browser, or downloads in the market place. The default browser works occasionally.
I can browse the marketplace, but when trying to download, it just says "Downloading..." then "Download Paused".
Everything worked on the stock ROM, and everything works fine when I'm using Cellular data. Any thoughts?
Thanks.

FRF85B radio breaks AT&T 3G?

Well I don't know what to make of this. I went back to a stock recovery image. Manually downloaded the a EBF54B images zip, fastboot flashed all the images, then manually applied the FRF85B update...
Well my 3G (in Salt Lake) is all screwed up, 3G icon appears, but can't get any damn data. Browser not working, martket doesn't work, can't sync.
I was originally running a rooted version of FRF85B that someone had provided and was having major issues with the Froyo radio as well yesterday.
Anyone else on AT&T hating life? 2G seems to work just fine.
EBF54B seems to sign in and work fine too.
I should mention this seems to be partially intermittent. A page will occasionally start to load and then stop and die, a speedtest (speedtest.net app) will start and then just time out... and then report 0.

Make sure you download the universal update -- There are two builds, if I recall properly -- FRF85 and FRF85B -- FRF85B is for TMO and straight FRF85 is for ATT

Nope, that's wrong. FRF85B is for all Nexus one phones.
OP, why don't you try dialing *#*#4636#*#* in the dialer and checking to make sure your phone settings are "WCDMA preferred"?

Have full 3G signal strength, never had to do that on AT&T. Had a T-Mobile N1 once, needs to do it then

Well this didn't improve anything. Maybe there is some network issue here. Thing that worried me is that I asked an AT&T friend to check their data and theirs worked.
Damn.
Well I'll have to try at home and see if I'm not just experiencing some localized data issue.
On a side not, that so called universal update you linked me, well it says FRF85B in my phone info so I don't see what the difference is.
I think my phone is busted. No change or improvement based on location. Data is just DAO. Says it's connected, has full signal, but mostly just times out, or doesn't do anything at all.

I did this, it was set to wideband preferred.
For a luagh, I tried putting the EPE54B radio on it (left FRF85B on it), and it's still messed up.
It will cut in an out during a speedtest (still with full bars) and most of the time just time out and puke.
Browser is also highly intermittent. Usually data stops flowing before I can get more than web page to load.
Any more ideas?
Changing the radio didn't help.
Using default APN settings...
Do you have any lock screen apps installed?

Do you use SwitchPro Widget?
I was on FRF72, and went to FRF85B, I thought everything was ok till I went out earlier today, I got NO data at all, no edge or 3g, icons wouldn't show up.
Tried 2G only, didn't work, also checked that WCDMA PREFERRED was selected. Nothing.
Did a nandroid back to FRF72 and all was fine.
So I nandroid back again to FRF85B, WIPED, and redid my phone, and 3G works great.

SwitchPro had me thinking my phone was dead yesterday after an update killed everyone's 3g.
This is issue is on a stock FRF85B. No apps other than default, and my restored bookmarks.
Same problem. 100% stock no root or unlock. 3G icon shows up and down activity but pages wont always load and browser and apps that use internet constantly lag. On WiFi the issue isn't there.
Sent from my Nexus One using XDA App
i have been having same problem my radio is 4.06.00.12_7 (if needed) cant seem to get any download speed when useing 3g. edge works just fine. could use some help cause i rely on data.
My problem seems better today, but I am still experiencing severe intermittent data.
Full signal, 3G... it's almost like the data connection just goes to sleep and won't wake up again.
If you refresh the web page a few times, after a few minutes it finally comes back, but then all of a sudden, about 30 second to a minute into loading a page, it just stops...
The problem is in Maps and Market to... it starts to load... stops... or sometimes won't start at all, like maps won't start loading tiles.
Very frustrating.

My 3 week old stock unrooted N1 seems to have lost 3G as well after the Froyo FRF85B update last night.
No signal problem as I live right next to a tower which provides me with a very strong signal and 3G always worked solid with Eclair. Pulled out the sim and placed it in my Nokia E71 a couple of times today to check the network and I have plenty of 3G data speed so I don't think it's an ATT issue.
If I click on 'use 2G only' in the settings, Edge seems to be working fine. Just no 3G. I could see from the data "stats" app that a few kb/s must have transferred through 3G in the past 24 hours but I'm not sure as it's useless for anything else that requires data.
I've spent the last 8 hours messing with my phone and googling a fix to no avail. I found this thread to see that someone else has this unfortunate problem as well, sigh. I hope there's a fix out there somewhere.
To say I'm been gutted is an understatement

[Q] Issue where all connections time out/stop all together

Need help hoping someone can point me the right direction or has had this problem before.
On random occasions my connections to the T-Mobile network will stop. The way that I know it's stopped is I'll look at the 3G or H icons in the drop bar and the up arrow will be blinking as if it's try to connect but nothing will happen. During this time, no calls will come in or out, and data will not work. To get out of this, I either have to reboot or switch from 3G to EDGE (also happens while on EDGE too) or just wait it out, EVENTUALLY, the connections will be restored and the up and down arrows will light up showing traffic is flowing again. I know it's not coverage since more often than not I have full bars or at least 2 bars.
I'm thinking it's not the radio firmware, since I'm running modded ROMs (currently running CM6.1 RC1) and I've upgraded the radio successfully each time. The radio I'm currently running is 32.41.00.32U_5.08.00.04
Let me know if anyone has any ideas on how to troubleshoot this or has a clue on what I should do.
thanks
5.08 and 5.12 radio versions came from Korean updates, so would you like to give 4.06 a try to see if it solves the problem? if still doesn't, try 5.12 see if it works.
Radio image is not really tied with Rom, Froyo requires 4.06 or later radios. Since radio software handles all data communication.. so it is still possible that radio software caused the problem (i think )
Ive had this problem since I first got the N1, was happening even while running stock 2.1 so I dont think it has to do with the OS. I had written it off thinking it was an issue with TMO and their network. But at this point doesnt seem like that.
I've ran 4.06 radio in the past and still the problem presented itself so Im pretty confident that rolling back to 4.06 isnt going to fix it. I've just recently upgraded to the 5.12 radio so we'll see if that ends up working.
Other than that any other ideas?

Try rebooting your router.
ive done all that. i just went to a few friends houses and it connects fine to all of their wifi one being the same ISP. so something happened to my router or accidentally changed a few settings. other than that i have no clue. the error i used to get is disabled secured with wpa wpa2 psk, and now after messing with a few things it just says disabled.
Used to be a common issue in 2.2 based ROMs, atleast in the ones I tried. Switch to a 2.2.1 based ROM.
When mine does that I usually make the phone forget your router, disable wifi, unplug router, plug it back in and then turn wifi on and find your router. Works for me hope it works for you.
Sent from my Captivate running Continuum 3.5 with SuckerPunch #58.
updates? mine has d same issue, that's y Im connected via static ip now
I figured out how get it working. I download fxr wifi fix and rescue from the market and it actually fixed it lol. Basically the process put you in air plane mode, and removed all the previous remembered wifi connections. It has to do something else because I tried that a million times manually but I'm not complaining. Worked like a charm
I know some people use roms. But I haven't really looked to much into them yet. Any recommendations? I've seen a few on YouTube but some major features were not working. And where do I d/l them?
that solution worked for me. thanks

Serious Wifi Problem rooted Captivate with stock 2.1 Eclair

I have had my Captivate for a couple months now and the wifi has been working great without any problems. Today I power it on and try to connect to my wifi home network and it doesnt connect. I knew there was a real problem when I noticed that it is not finding any wifi networks and there are many around here.
My computer and xbox are on my home network and the net works fine so I ruled out a problem with the router.
I tried to use the wps button route and that didnt work.
I also tried to manually input the connection and it gives the the "not in range" message. I did a factory reset and still the same problems.
I have not downloaded any apps or flashed the rom....this just started out of nowhere. My Captivate is rooted and it is stock Eclair 2.1.
I hope you guys can help me with this problem.
Thank you.

If you unroot, does that change the outcome?
Are there any other steps you did on the phone recently?
There is/was a thread in the development section that dealt with this. It had to do with the dhcp file. I had this problem when I was on 2.1 and used the new dhcp file to fix it and it never failed again.
I'll poke around and see if I have it yet on my pc. Failing that I'd suggest upgrading to GB.
Well I'll be....
here is the post
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=907772
Warning.... Not sure if this is a 2.1 or 2.2 fix. I can't remember that far back! I'd just upgrade if I were you.
Yeah, I would just upgrade to the latest official release from Samsung.
Then re-root on that release.
If the problem persists with out root, you can then contact Samsung or your provider for assistance.
Or it may just fix the issue for you
