So my setup. SGS I9000 with JPY 2.2.1 and speedmod K13c.
I have 2 wifi routers, tried to setup one as a repeater but that didnt go well. And I have no idea which mode it is now. But this is what I have:
2 wifi signals (same network, different IP 192.168.1.1 as gateway 1 and 192.168.1.10 gateway 2) on the same channel with the same name (different mac) . This is kinda the only way those 2 wifi routers like each other and worked well before.
Android sees (or should) only one wifi with the stronger signal. And this worked AWESOME some time connecting to the stronger signal almost instantly when it was available (not sure if it was on the stock kernel or there was something else to it too like the 2.1 ROM)
Now it sticks to the signal it gets first. Both routers have strong antennas means I can see the most of the time both (in a third party APP, like wifi analyzer) .
Problems start on the toilette.(Dont judge me ) There I can still see signal from the first floor, but the better router is like 2m away. AND IT WONT SWITCH TO IT. I kinda have to put the phone into my pants and hide it with my hands so it looses the connection and connects to the better router. Also when I go up.
(Its not nice, but I guess better as to run a third party app, I dont like to have it running)
My Hero doesnt have the problems (maybe cuz his wifi antenna is weaker )
So to my question. Leaving the setup I have now. How to change how the android wifi behaves? Meaning it wont stick to the soo much weaker signal (before dying making me "retry" press on every site few times and soo slow)
and makes the switch to a better signal.
Thanks for any answer
(Sorry if doubleposting, am too old for searching. (Nah kidding I did some research before))
Configure your repeater properly, that issue have nothing to do with your SGS. Actualy your SGS act precisely how it should, due to your actual setup.

yay, such a good helper.
First: As I said. The two wifi routers wont work well together. (means I dont have a repeater)
Second: The question wasnt about my setup and how to "fix" it. It was how I can tweak the wifi settings. Now I know there are apps that can do this. I asked if I cant change something in the settings.
Anyway thanks for the reply

Sound you get me wrong...
My point is you can't acheive what you want, since it only work (the way you need it..) with a repeater. About tweaking your wifi setup, i think, you'll have a better answer on a dedicated "wifi" forum, according to your hardware.
Do some google search on DDRT or tomato.
I just give you a fact, sorry if you're not happy with it
Well I would take it as a fact if I didn't know everything is possible . Was thinking about some settings change to how to prefer a network.
Anyway might not be possible NOW, so I did it with Wi-Fi manager and 2 network Widgets and changed the name of the network. If anyone has a better idea I am open for it . And thanks again.

I'm having issues with the wifi connection having to be reset every few minutes when used. It seems to outright lose signal and can't even scan for networks until a reset. I'm on CM7 stable, using the latest OC kernel by Dalingrin. Anyone experiencing similar?
I have a similar issue.
From time to time (something like every 5 min), the connection seems ok (in the wifi pannel, it is stated as connected), but I can't access anything anymore by wifi. I have to disconnect and reconnect to my wifi router in order to make it work.
(I also use the last stable CM7... And apart from that, it's gorgeous ! )
So I'm indeed not alone in seeing this... interesting. Thanks for letting me know. As well, I agree, everything aside from the wifi works great and the tablet tweaks incorporated are nothing short of brilliant.
Mine is table with CM7 final and with Philmod 6, both with the 03/31 and 04/04 kernels.
same here - cm7 stable + 4/4 OC
just loaded up nightly 39 + 4/14/11A OC to try that combo

Is this not the same issue all over about AES? Check your router, if it's WPA2 it's AES, if it's WPA it could be AES.
CM7 and some routers have issues when AES is used, try to disable it.
installed nightly 39 + oc 4/14a no wifi issues so far

You mind Starring this issue on the Cyanogen tracker? Make sure you put all the relevant information as well as your Router HW and FW. Thanks!

I posted my remarks in a comment on the tracker.
But I'm afraid I don't know what you meant by "my Router HW and FW" ?

Can anyone else comment on this? I might just go down this route, but I'm wondering if there a few more who did similar and are seeing no wifi issue as a result.
Also, I'm surprised to see a CM7 final release with a wifi issue such as this. If it indeed is related to encryption (AES vs TKIP), that's further perplexing. While I could go about changing the settings for my router, I can't go about doing so for many others - particularly in public. As well, if I'm to tether from my N1, I'm going to do it with a password, meaning I'm to do it with AES as there isn't much choice built in.
I hate to say this as I'm impressed with the amount of work that went into (and normally always goes into) CM, but I figure it has to be said. To be fair, I'm not sure how widespread this issue may be (does it affect the version of CM7 on tablets, only?) but I'm surprised it can exist in a version of cm7 considered stable.

I'll try 39 etc but I suspect if they made changes in that regard they would have said to retest in that logged bug.
As far as I know, I've heard reports this happens on some phones as well, not just tablets, not just the NC.
And it doesn't affect most people, in fact I'll bet it affects a minority of folks. If it affected everyone I'm sure CM7 wouldn't have released that way of course.
And yeah I'm with you, I _do not_ want to use my N1 tethered with Open encryption, but not much I can do until this is fixed.

Did you try 39 out? This issue is MIGHTY annoying for me as it is kind of hard getting a company with 39 000 employees to back away from AES on the WLAN..
Also going away from AES at home means that I cannot have my access point using 300 Mbit 802.11N which also is a real bummer.
I found this at the CM7 bugtracker, look at the final few posts there is a wifi-driver to try out.
http://code.google.com/p/cyanogenmod/issues/detail?id=3314
Also noticed there was a complete guide about pushing the file here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=11974146&postcount=22
So if CM7 on my phone works fine on wifi, that means a NC should work the same more or less, correct?

I guess you didn't notice who posted in that bug, and posted tiwlan_drv.ko in the bug?
Anywho, for me it did help my own and work AP's, but it's still broken tethering to my phone. So it seems better but not perfect, give it a try. Just make a copy of the original tiwlan_drv.ko and push the single file from that zip up in its place and reboot.
I'm going to be going on a trip in about a month and I would like to be able to use GPS from my NC. I don't have an android smartphone so i cant just use my phone. (I have an ENV3) haha.
I would just like to know what type of hardware I need in order to get GPS to be received on the NC. Also what apps would go best with this setup?
Try to be cheap please! Thanks for all input.

Thanks. Should have looked!
why is gps so important
Of all the possibilitys of the NC can anyone speak to why it dominates the disscussios?
I am more interested in battery up-dates/grades, signal boosting, and ironing out whether or not we will be using them as cell phones(so tiered of having useless phone "options in the rims and inthe markets)

Hi
Like in the title : The wifi in my S+ keeps randomly disconnecting, on various roms (starting from branded play 2.3.4 rom, then on 2.3.5, and now on 2.3.6)
What seems to be the problem ? is it hardware fault ?
I read, in few other threads, that other people, had in some kind of way a similiar problem...
What do You think ? Please SHARE

try to assign staitc ip............it happened in i9003 too
download a root explorer, go to data/misc/wifi/wpa_supplicant.conf and set: update_config to 0 and priority to 1, it doesn't solve the problem but it gets a little better

i had the same problem i did 2 things 1 was after flashing i did a factory data reset and erased SD card (make sure to backup anything you need) and i also went into my Belkin 600N and set DHCP Lease from Forever to 2days.
ive not dropped wifi since and i had it with 4 diffrent ROMs im now using XXKPS 2.3.6
I've set static ip on my phone, switched DHCP lease setting to 2 days, and now testing...
Thanks Guys much love
Here comes super mega answer, which is worth finding Thank You button -
1.) Open dialer and enter *#*#526#*#*
2.) Come back and say that your wifi works without any issues.

i guess he means 528 instead of 526. *#*#528#*#* is the wifi test mode which loads the wifi drivers automatically.

Yeah there are plenty of those codes actually.
for example:
*#*#7780#*#* factory reset
*2767*3855# factory format (everything wiped, also the internal sd card)
*#*#1575#*#* gps test
*#*#1234#*#* pda phone version
*#*#1111#*#* fta sw version
*#0*# lcd test (cool one )
*#*#2664#*#* touchscreen test
they should work on every android device. try google to find more
Thanks mate
So after the tips from Sakindia and BackDaws, when i changed the phones ip to static, and changed the routers DHCP settings, i have no more problem with the wifi connection.
Thanks again guys

Change title to "SOLVED"
If it is set to static ip and you changed dhcp settings it is only solution for your home network, not anywhere in public, right?

This was exactly the cure for the problem, I can also confirm it. I tried several things, such as exchanging config files between several ROMs, what a waste of time
But I'm still wondering why 2.3.4-2.3.6 can not work with forever leasing time... It's bad.
p.s.: for me no static IP needed for proper work
Thanks for sharing this BackDaws!

As I've already read, SD 835 phones including this one suffer Wi-Fi drops and disconnects. My particular issue is that even though the device is connected to wifi either speed seems to slow down a lot or internet simply doesn't work, I can tap whatever I want in Chrome and the loading bar below the address bar fills in a millisecond and disappears. Happens on different routers, router configuration reset doesn't help nor does device reset. Was the issue already addressed by any update or should I wait?

It is, however most people complain about disconnects making them restart the phone. In my case wifi is still connected, but it sometimes seems to stop working while still being connected and wifi relaunch fixes the issue.. 145 fw didn't solve it, so I guess we should wait.

As I recall there was a wifi lag problem with the first couple of builds, but I've had no issues with wifi since November. So perhaps it was fixed in a firmware update?

I returned mine and ordered the US version to see what's what. Should be present there too but one can hope... don't want to give up on the phone but if I encounter it there too then I'll have to go for another model. I'll report back whatever I'll find.
Have a similar wifi problem using (US) firmware .145. A restart fixes it, but eventually the problem resurfaces again. May wait to update until firmware following .179 is available, as I've read that in some cases .179 makes the problem worse. (?)

I did this. Problem was still present on US phone as some predicted. Returned that phone as well.
I'm using CE1 .145 firmware and it started to do that problem a week ago. I have never experienced that before that time. I have to restart my phone at least twice a day and it appears even I'm not connected to any wifi router.
I'll see when update will come. It's horrible.

I'm not experiencing the Wi-Fi disconnect very often, fortunately, but it makes the problem more difficult to diagnose. Odd that some people experience it regularly, even several times a day.

For me it happened several times in a couple of minutes time. I'm on a college campus though, a lot of wifi hotspots around because of the university's wifi network, I think that made it worse.

Several days ago, my xperia also sufering wifi issues. The wifi is disabled by my device.
I have done so much attempts to solve it until I got this:
Connect the device to the PC and open ADB Fastboot. Then, conduct this codes:
adb shell
settings put global captive_portal_detection_enabled 0
That's all. My wifi work again.
I hope that will work on you.
Code:
adb shell
settings put global captive_portal_detection_enabled 0
This worked for me. Thank you
