Hello guys,
I have wiped my phone, and tried many, many roms, mostly Darky and Docs roms over the last year, and ALL of them have this wifi bug where sometimes my phone connects to a wifi, and other times I have to restart my phone and only then will it connect.
When it does not connect it says Turning on.... then says Error. I press again, it says Turning on again etc. Occasionally it connects eventually after I try again and again, but usually I have to restart the phone first.
Does anyone know why this is and what to do to fix it. It is very frustrating, especially when in front of an iphone fundementalist.
Help much appreciated!

i have this same problem
a fix would be so nice.
try different router.
if you have tried different Rom and kernel then it can't be that.
only your router or phone is bad.
**DamianGTO Steam kernel. 350MB Ram. 500HZ. all ext2. Steam Rom. Js5**
i find this problem is app specific. if i connect before anything is open its fine. if i open a 3rd party browser in edge data mode then switch to wifi while loading a page this error occurs sometimes. tested with 3 different routers and one sgs phone dxjpe modem

I get the error too. The only fix I found was to enter flight mode and then turn on wireless and then exit flight mode.

AAH I will try that!
It is not the router, I have the issue on every router I have tried. Ive also verified that Static IP and Dynamic makes NO difference at all to this problem.
I'll report back on the flight mode work-around... a lot faster than rebooting, cheers,
Mark.
Anyone know a fix for this bug?
Gad, at times like this I envy my wife's iphone, which JUST WORKS. My SGS has been spared me smashing it to bits out of frustration on several occasions...
I tried the flight mode suggestion, it does not work. The only thing that works is restarting the phone... which takes ages and Launcherpro has to be forced shut then restarted, media scanned etc etc... and only THEN can I try the wifi again, so its not a viable work-around.
Anything else to try ?

Hi
Darkys alternative wifi does not fix the problem. But my problem is not exactly like yours, my phone generally stays connected when it connects, where your connection stops working. Mine only becomes impossible to connect without rebooting sometimes. Occasionally it seems switching from STATIC to DYNAMIC or DYNAMIC to STATIC IP jiggs the phone's wifi somehow, and it then works, but often it just says Turning on... and nada!
Yep, a fix is desperately needed.

Hello
Having the same problem here. But let's just clarify. At least for me, and from the OP's description, the problem is NOT wifi not being able to connect. It is Wifi NOT TURNING ON at all. Takes a LOONG while with "turning on" and then "error" appears. Sometimes trying over and over again will fix it. Sometimes a full reboot, which as someone stated, is a royal pain.
Get this quite frequently. Doesn't bother me too much because it always works after the second time I turn it on (in the settings not in notifications) when it shows "Error".
Couple of things you could try:
Turn off Notifications under WiFi settings
Turn off Use Wireless Networks under Location & Security settings
My Wifi became a bit stable after this.
You could also try static ip addresses.
Had it happen last night. Went into task manager, killed everything that uses internet and retried it. It turned on immediately. Will test more to see if this is indeed a fix. It's still annoying enough, though.
bump
I have this problem for over 6 months. Any fixes anyone????
Maybe its a harware bug. I may take it into a Samsung Store
This still happens to me too...any fix? Is this hardware or something?
Had this issue when I was using SuperPower App where it takes control of the Wifi sleep. Removed it and never had it again. Any one of you using some sort of battery saver taking control of WIFI?
Same problem here
Same problem here on stock 2.2.1 ROM. Like others already mentioned, my problem is getting the WiFi to turn on. Once it is on, it's problem free, but turning it on sometimes takes minutes to only get an error. Mostly trying again, turns it on quickly. But this afternoon I tried three times without succes. Than, after reading a lot of forum discussions on this problem (we are not alone...), I tried turning off packet data and then WiFi turned on in seconds. This suggests that apps having an internet connection open could cause the problem. It also suggests that icejagans is right by stating to turn the phone into flight mode might resolve the problem. I am not running any battery saver, task killer or whatsoever that could cause this problem. Last Saturday I even did a factory reset to see if that helped, but no, it didn't... Getting really annoyed by this problem and I hope 2.3 will fix it!
Bumb!
Please does anyone have a fix for this? Does flashing a different modem help?
When this happens, I go to Allshare app and enable wireless (when asked), it always works
Ok so on the RC4 CM7 build my wifi is very unstable, whenever I attempt to download files it will randomly crash resulting in any files being downloaded without a restart bookmark being lost as I have to leave the program I'm in turn off Wifi turn it back on and then finallly i'm able to reconnect to the internet. Is anyone else having this problem? If you did, do you know how to fix it? I'm at my wits end here as there are programs I've had to try to download for over 2 hours because of these wifi crashes....

I've had the exact same issue, and I'm not 100% sure yet, but mine completely went away when I uninstalled Setting Profiles Lite. I was using it to turn off Wifi every time it went into suspend mode (same settings I used on Eclair) but since I did that, wifi hasn't burped once. Like you I could barely download anything before it would stop and I had to turn off and back on wifi to make it work again for a while.
this seems to happen to me every morning between 5 and 7am.. most other times it works great.. i cant figure it out either
not using that program.....
Well I checked just to make sure and I am not using the program you mentioned so I am at a loss as to why the wifi will crap out randomly and have to be turned off then on... Any other ideas?
Thanks,
Adan
I'm having the same issue. No idea what's going on, but it's driving me crazy.
I don't seem to have the same trouble just surfing the web, but if I try to download anything or stream video, it craps out about every 5 minutes.

Yeah, mine is still crapping out tonight too.. stock wifi works perfect. I am using CM7 on SD, anyone else?
yep yep yep
Exactly the same setup man. Using my CM7 on my SD card and WIFI runs just fine on my reg Nook software, Nookie Froyo, and HC sds i have run....

This may be silly, but are you all setting your wifi to 'never sleep's on advanced settings under wifi settings? If you are not familiar with Cm roms, I can see how you might miss this essential setting. Just press the menu key after going into wifi settings, and a secondary menu will come up..with scan, and advanced...under advanced, set wifi sleep policy to never. Hope this helps, but if it's something you all already know, then please disregard.

So this isn't specific to the Nook Color, it's a CM7 bug overall that Wifi falls out?
What's interesting is my wifi will stay connected, idle, for 8+ hours (while I slept) but I then download 2M of files while eating breakfast and it dies and I have to restart wifi to make it work again...
This is definitely going to make me wait until it's fixed to put CM7 on emmc, this is really aggravating. Which I hate, because I'm really digging CM7. It's perkier, runs smoother, and no B&N shortcut thingy popping up by accident all of the time.
So anyone NOT on SD seeing this problem on the Nook Color? Sounds like this might be a generic CM7 issue but I've also been told that heavy IO on the SD could cause IO problems in other areas, including wifi.
I'm not on SD and having the same problems.
http://code.google.com/p/cyanogenmod/issues/detail?id=3314
Can you guys go there and Star that issue and add your configuration and experience?
And please, if anyone figures out anything, be a hero and tell us I'm thinking about wiping fresh and not installing any apps and seeing if the behavior continues.
Popped out my CM7 SD card and booted to Eclair and just spent 45 minutes updating my apps I hadn't done in 4 days, read Engadget, read some news in Pulse, played a youtube video, downloaded some other data.
Not one hiccup.
CM7 is sooooo nice, hopefully this gets figured out. What's bad is that a lot of people say they don't have the problem, so something is going on.

Don't want this forgotten until it is fixed
I have been dealing with thisfora while and I seem to have come across a work around. I switched the security settings of my router and made it a compley open network. Since then, I've had zero issues. My wireless network is unsecure now, but I live out in the woods, so I'm not too concerned.

Several people have reported this, specifically with the Nook Color. I personally haven't had wifi crashes or refusal to wake up, but I have noticed that websites take significantly longer to load on my Nook Color than they do on either my wifes or my Droid X. Obviously there are a ton of factors that could be responsible for this though.
Okay, so I tried everything I could think of.. Imaged back to totally clean CM7 RC4, not even gapps.. Fiddled with all sorts of CM Perf settings (vm heap, JIT, etc)
Considering I've also had the wifi dropouts on my phone, work, and home router I was convinced it could not be anything router specific, but I have an old Linksys B router that I keep up for my daughters computer which I have an ancient Prism wireless card in so I didn't have to run cables to her room.
It works. I used it about hour last night, off and on for a few hours today. No wifi hangs.
So my next step is to figure out if it's the router or the encryption... My B router has no encryption on it, just MAC filtering to keep out the neighbors. The G router running DD-WRT has WPA Encryption. So I'm going to disable Encryption on the G router and turn on MAC filtering and see what happens. If it works there, it must be related to encryption. If it still fails, it must be something related to the router or router FW.
Okay, first thing I did was change from TKIP+AES to only TKIP on my G router and so far so good. I found some other evidence that AES might be an issue:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=11598765&postcount=187
Anyone else, please try TKIP only if your router has AES available?

Sorry man I don't have AES as a option, so I'm not sure that is the problem...
Hello,
I'm a newbie regarding Android, I just got a Milestone with MIUI 1.9.9. and I have some problems. First my RAM memory is 0.00 bytes and I don't know why because I'm using only email right now. Second I a have problem with WIFI, I changed the slep policy, and when I activate Wifi it's starting scanning for nothing, no wifi Network appears and when I can connect, after a whie it's disconnecting itself and doesn't reconnect.
I've read that CM7 is the best to install but I don't know how, maybe someone will help me with a turorial, I want to keep MIUI but I have these problems with it.

Try installing the app Script Manager from the Market and running Zeppelinrox's supercharging. A simple search will give you the thread.
What kind of wireless router do you have? What is the encryption?
As for CM7 (and any other ROM), you need wipe your data and both caches.
To do so, you will need to reboot into recovery, wipe dalvik cache, wipe cache partition and then wipe data. Then, you flash CM7, wipe both caches, flash the google apps addon, wipe both caches again, change baseband and reboot.
I tried CM7,and now downgrade to CM6 and still no Wifi connection, it's scanning but doesn't show anything. I use a D-Link router, it's open connection. I've read somewhere that on 2.2 or 2.3 based Android versions wifi it's not working. Does anybody know a solution to this issue?...
I really need my WIFI connection.
P.S. The hardware it's ok, I went to a mobile service and they told me it must be software problem.
I'm trying to update to Eclait Teluslite but I have problems in openrecovery with and I get verifying md5 then all failed and E: Failed verifying checksums. Someome told me that with eclair solved the wifi problem
The only wifi problem we have is with the sleep policy
Try to reboot your router.
If it doesn't work try to see if you can get a connection with another one.

It's like this, I installed again MIUI, I like the interface, sometime(rarely) or only one time I can connect to my router, all working, but in a while it disconnects and after that the phone is scanning but it doesn't show me any network, just not in range. And it's doing like this in any MOD. Sleep policy is never, 13 channels, proxy on/off...nothing seems to work to find again the wifi and connect.
Check my signature, and post a kernel log, when it does that.

ok, I hope I got it right and this is the log. Wifi is activated, scanning but my network doesn't show up. I have a N900 that is working just fine with my wifi router.
Accidental call hold (upper-left corner touch issue)
Hi,
I find calls are often put accidentally on hold, as my ear touches the "hold" button on the upper left corner of the touch screen.
The functionality supposed to prevent this (the promixity/light sensor near the center of the upper border) does work when I test it manually, but apparently I tend to keep the phone at the left ear in such a position the ear doesn't cover the sensor all the time.
This has been a recurring issue on the Milestone, both the original firmware and now with cyanogenmod 7.
I remember others commenting on this when the Milestone was new. Anything in Cyanogenmod to resolve the issue? If not, a couple of alternatives come to mind
* switch the phone program to something other than the Motorola original
* if source is available, modify the phone program to have the hold button in a different place, recompile & install the modified phone program
* other suggestions?
UPDATE: Solved the issue: there's an option to hide the Hold button in cyanogenmod 7:
From general settings menu: settings --> call settings --> Hide Hold button

Kernel log looks ok .. other then
ADDRCONF(NETDEV_UP): tiwlan0: link is not ready
sorry for late reply. i had problems.
but if it starting to do that by itself "on and off" it's already been discussed as hardware related
does your wireless router has ipv6 enabled ?
try one more time this (without kernel):
logcat -f /sdcard/KernelLog.txt

If you don't want to root, create a desktop shortcut to the servicemode app for the "WiFi Debug Screen" activity. Then launch it and turn off 'WiFi Power Save Mode'. Note that after every reboot you will have to turn it off again. I found this fix for my Galaxy S3, but noticed it also works on my Samsung tablets too. Seems to keep them connected all the time now.

That's weird. I have upgraded two of mine to the Malaysian ICS stock ROM and had no wifi issues.
If it is trying to connect I would look at the AP side. Presume you power cycled the AP? Also, try removing security to see whether this is an issue.
Good luck.
I already tried with or without security. Stock ICS and even dannoRom can't seem to connect. I even tried above post suggestion. Been wanting ics for my tab cause it's really better than Stock AT&T HC.

That is really puzzling. Trying to see what is going on probably needs getting the logcat and analysing that. Not an easy task, though! (see google for more info on logcat).
Good luck.
Here's a logcat from my tab. dunno where to look at, someone might knowledgeable bout this. thanks in advance.

Well done getting the logcat. Hope someone who knows what to look for sees it and answers. Looking through it there are no obvious error entries around wifi activity, though.
Is yours wifi only or 3G? I see mention of gsm so thought it must be the P7300.
Mine is actually the i957 which is the AT&T 4G.

Whew! Weird, but a good result.
Hi there, after all I finally managed to get the bootloader unlocked and CM running smoothly - wonderful.
To achieve this I had to work carefully up and down through the threads here and it was really worth the work.
The only problem I noticed so far is that I can't establish a wifi connection?! I do see the networks and I try to establish the connection with the credentials as I am used to, but I fail. I also don't see the wifi icon in the statusbar.
Is this a known issue or did I just miss to to do something correctly while flashing?
I tried to find a hint here in the forum, but didn't so far. Sorry if I just overlooked it.
Thanks for any help :good:

I got the same problem. I have heard that a new release of the kernel come soon. Lets hope then it is fixed

I also just unlocked the bootloader and flashed CM10.1 but my WiFi is working fine, no problems.
One issue I heard people talking about is that in some cases CM changes the MAC address of your phone, so if you have any mac filtering you need to fix it accordingly. However, if you don't even see the WiFi icon it's a bit strange (remember that the icon doesn't show until you are connected). Can you go into settings and turn it on, find networks, add manually, etc.?
Did you do a factory reset after installing CM?
yes id did a factory reset
So, just arrived at home and the wifi works totally fine
The problem just occured at work before, with a wifi which is not broadcasting.
Strange, cause all other devices connect without any problems - so there seems to be a connex to the new rom.
Btw, I was so frustrated already with this device, I wanted to change it against an Xperia z or htc one today. Now, I'll keep it. Such an impressive leap forward compared to stock fw. Fast and smooth.
Cheers
still not ale to connect to the wifi here at work.
signal is good
network incl. wep pw is saved but it just does not connect. All other devices (SG2, iPad) are connected as always.
Doesn't make much sense to me. So if anyone has an idea, I'm glad to test it.

That would have been my intention as well, but we don't use any mac address filtering. I can connect with every other device as long as I have the right credentials.
There are not many options to change the settings, probably there's a app available....
Would be interesting if anybody else has this issue with not broadcasting wifi networks.
I cant connect to wifi network too. No mac filter, tried to change from WPA2 to WEP but still not able to connect.
Edit also tried factory reset.

Is that just a guess? I would not see any relation to the kind problem we have.
Factory reset, wipe, flashing of ROM ... I think it's more related to the wifi driver.
