Wifi Error - Nexus One Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

I have been running CM7 nightlies on a Nexus One. I'm on 28 now.
A couple of days ago I started getting wifi error and since yesterday I have not been able to start wifi at all. I have tried soft reset, hard reset, different kernels, different roms including Froyo Sense Roms, Enomther, CM7 RC2, Modaco r26.
I have tried extreme wipe, permission fixes, reflashing the radio, utilities such fxrwifi, wefi, wifi fixer.
My current radio is 5.12.00.08
Do I keep flashing any number of kernels and roms until something gets through. I had this problem 3 months ago and it magically sorted itself out after a few days.
Could it be a hardware issue? If so, how do you go about replacing a faulty wifi radio?

when i flash the older driver kernel from the nxsense thread i can turn on my wifi
but im unable to find any networks.
yes i tried advanced setting and all kinds of apps
i do not think it is a hardware issue.
its more like a OS issue as i have found lots of similar problems on google , not just for nxus one but for other android phones
today - i probably flashed about 30 times..trying to get my wifi working.
i flashed completey back to stock FRG 83, FRG83D, CM 5, CM6 , different kernels,
different radios.
and yes i do wipe out system, cache, dalvik cache , data. and everything b4 i flash.
i do not know what is breaking my wifi.

[Q] Wifi broken, need help please

After a few days running Dlev's 4.2 ROM, my wifi stopped working suddenly. When I try to turn it on it says error or unable to start wifi. I've exhausted several initial options I began walking myself back through various ROM's back to the original 2.1 stock ROM. Without success I even performed a master clear and several reflashes of the orininal stock ROM, nothing is working. I tried FXR Wifi fix and rescue. Does anybody have any ideas on what I should do?
Thanks,

Kernel?
What kernel were you running with the custom ROM? Talon's being updated really frequently, so if it's Talon, you might try the latest version of that (0.4.4.22, as of this writing)

Did you try rebooting your router or device that gives you wireless signal? also see if other devices can connect.
It was Talon 0.4.4, but I've gone all the way back to stock ROM/kernel etc and that makes me think that this is a HW malfunction.
AT&T had me reboot the router too, my laptops are able to connect just fine. It's not really a connection problem either, Wifi will not turn on at all.
I called Samsung and they want me to ship them the phone, still debating that one since I will have to go without a phone.

[Q] Data drops after flashing new rom

My Nexus One was doing fine when i flashed CM7.1 on October 19th of this year. But ever since, every new ROM that i flash always equates to random data drops. However, whenever i flash back to CM 7.1, the data returns back to normal. I hope someone in this forum can help me overcome this issue because its a real bother to someone that flashes a new ROM every now and then.
When you flash a new ROM did you check you're APN to see if it's correct? CM7 have pre configured APN for most carriers so maybe that's why it's ok when you flash CM7
It's strange though, the ROMs that used to work fine like Oxygen or MIUI are acting up, but i do not think that my apn is different since if it was working fine before but not now.
You can try pulling your sim--never know
Same here... since a few days ago, my Edge data connections drops every time...
dont know whut is up...

Weird problems with new Roms

Since I bought the One I'm running Sense Roms (at the moment it's Android Revolution HD). For the last few days I have been trying to flash ParanoidRom and CM11 Nightlies but with both of them I encounter weird problems.
1. Both roms seem to break DHCP for me. I can connect to any Wifi but I don't get an IP. If I set the IP manually everything works fine. I already deleted the files in /data/misc/dhcp a few times but still no change.
2. With both roms I have freezes when waking the phone up from sleep. Most of the time it works, but 5-10 times a day the softkeys light up but the phone freezes when I try to wake it up from sleep. The problem exists with stock and with custom kernels.
Before flashing I wipe Data/Factory Reset, Dalvik and Cache. Last time I even wiped /system, just to try if it makes a difference.
Restoring my old rom fixes all the problems.
Is there anything I did wrong? I have no idea what else to do now

[Q] Random wifi disconnects/drops

Hello forum! For a few months now, I've been forced to use AOSP roms because of a problem that's been occuring. Ever since the 4.3 firmware, my wifi constantly disconnects and reconnects. I've tried switching from 2.4 to 5 ghz, renaming my device id, restarting the router, trying a different firmware (did all of them including ruu's and all), different kernels, different roms, etc. Now that sense 6.0 is coming out, I'm wondering if anyone else has had this problem, and if anyone else has a fix.
i have the same issue after coming back from stock 4.4
i tried updating the firmware and the issues still remained.
same here

I´ve got the same issue,, running the cm 11 actual nightly on my RAZR HD .. tried everything , the whole restoring reflashing, radios and different recoverys ...nothing worked for me... when i switch manually the frequencyrange of my razr for w-lan it works quite a while but than it drops random till i switch back to automatic frequency ....
I was just running aosp but I wasn't disconnecting. I'm on the most recent firmware and I used the cyanogenmod nightly with stock kernel. On sense I disconnect every once in awhile especially when actually using the WiFi but on cm I wasn't disconnecting so I wasn't worried about disconnecting during castle clash
