So out of the blue the wifi stoped working. It just says connecting but will not connect and it does nnt scan to find access points. Wifi is turned on and airplne mode is off. I tried a reboot but did not help. I have not changed any settings but i do turn off wifi often to save battery. It is not a hardware issue as wifi works on stock nook os. It did this before and i just redid sd card and started over. Both time it stopped working in about a week. Any ideas on what is happening??
Maybe if i use the latest stable instead of a nightly?
I've only been able to cause this by having too many defined APs. Try deleting and recreating the most recently used one - if that doesn't help, nuke 'em all and start over. The latter, combined with a reboot, will definitely fix it, but it's a huge PITA.

This is has happened to me after inadvertently activating airplane mode. CM7 has a little bug on the NC (I think it is because there is no phone radio) and de-activating airplane mode doesn't correctly activate wifi. If you think that might be your problem, you can do a search for a method of correcting this using sqlite on adb. Or there is an app that is supposed to correctly set the airplane mode off state (thus allowing wifi to activate) - it is called Android Assistant. But it will be kind of difficult to get the app on your NC w/o wifi!
Thanks I had to delete access pointsand wifi started working but I had to enable it every time I got on my nook as it keeps disableing its self so I downloaded android assistant and sure enoughf it showed airplane mode on. So after disableing it there everything works great

I have read some accounts of WiFi problems after sleep & I am now seeing it. I am auto-nootered for 1.1 & was previously auto-nootered 1.0.1 & had no problems. Now the WiFi doesn't reconnect after a long sleep. Don't know how long is the magic time, but it works fine after a short (1 Min. ? nap), but several minutes kills it. All I do is turn WiFi off & back on & it is fine.

I have the same problem. Toggling WiFi off/on doesn't always cause it to reconnect. If it doesn't reconnect, I have to go to Settings -> Wireless and it reconnects
There's multiple threads on this issue in the last few days. It seems to be a post 1.1 issue. Stock and adhoc are affected. I have yet to find an app that helps, though forcing wifi off with profile settings seems to make things worse. Currently experimenting with wifibuddy as a quick route to settings. Setting wifi to stay on if charging during sleep seems to prevent the problem.

+1 on Softlocker
****e! That means that B&N will have to push another update/fix on us! I thought I could rest for a while & not worry about them breaking my root. Ironically, I need this fix.

I also have this problem. What i accidentally discovered is that if I ping my nook from any other machine on the network my connection to the network (on the nook) is restored. Looks like some caching issue.
I haven't had this issue unless I do a hard reboot by powering system down. After that, I tend to have to reset the Wifi connection. I ended up flashing my SD to the honeycomb port and everything seems better and I don't have to worry about B&N messing with an automatic update.
+1 for SoftLocker as well.
A little more experimenting and... cwm back to 1.01 and all is well. Then on 1.1 all is well until the adhoc is implemented. Now seeing how bad the hit is on battery life if I use wifibuddy to keep wifi from sleeping. THIS SUCKS
Avoid 1.1
Wifi was working great for me until 1.1 update. Had the same problems where wifi would disconnect and reconnect. Even tried Fryo. I had to revert back to 1.0.1 to avoid the problem.
+1 for softlocker free... that app is awesome and i haven't noticed any major battery decline from leaving it on all day with pandora streaming.
A combination of setting a static IP with Wifi Static and using Soft Locker has my wifi working perfectly 99.999% of the time. I still occasionally get a disconnect that requires a quick toggle via the settings menu but it is very rare, like once every few days.
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
I've tested this with a3.5, Xron and Miui and they all get this problem. Maybe installing certain apps trigger this to happen but wifi will eventually slow down when trying to connect to a signal and will be essentially non functional since the OS will basically freeze and then tell you to force close wifi and it requires a wipe and fresh install to fix.
Has anyone else run into this problem?
Check this and see if it helps you.

I don't think its the same issue. In those instances you can still try to change which wifi signal you want to connect to, I think it just loops from connecting and it would disconnect. I think this issue is common and dropped connections occur as well.
But I'm talking about a situation where if you even try to enter the wifi options it will force close.

Before I changed it, it would take forever to get it to release the connection. I just kept hitting "Wait" rather than "Force close" it would take several minutes but would eventually come up and allow me to Forget the network.
It sure sounds like the same, not saying it is, but very similar.
I experienced this problem for the first time yesterday in area where was about 20 WIFI networks. Never ever it happened in my house on A2. A3 A3.5 or XRON2.8
http://rootzwiki.com/topic/13779-now-i-believe-that-there-is-wifi-problem/
I have the same issue today, Wifi setting is forced to close, and cannot connect to any Wifi signals. I think it's a bug and it related to the time or date. Because I didn't do anything and it just happened.
No new apps install, no setting changed, and the device was keep on, so it just happens.
Hope someone can find out where the problem is...so sad this happen on New Year's eve....
i have this problem also, the solution i found was letting the touchpad go dead and than begin to connect wifi again.
Similar wifi comments here: rebooting [or maybe toggling/other disconnect] with wifi on/remembered would get it into a state where it was scanning and connecting over and over without really ever working. this was only happening once it was 'remembered'. Going through the wifi settings to forget in this state involved hitting 'wait' a few times and then i'd reboot and readd. 1st wifi connect is always solid for me.
I've found: market.android.com/details?id=com.brilliapps.wifiandmorefixer
Does the same thing except it is one click. I rebooted after the first go, but now no longer. i run this and then readd wifi - all set.
Just today I noticed that the 3g data on my phone won't turn on.
I normally have my wifi on but when I go out of range the phone would auto switch to data plan.
Today it did not switch, tried putting the phone in flight mode and back out again but this did not help. Its been working fine up to now.
I have put nothing new on the phone or changed any settings so don't know why its all of a sudden stopped working.
Can anyone help??????
I had the exact problem last week and i resolved it by calling my mobile data provider,it turned out to be a problem with their servers
Sent from my GT-I9000 using XDA
Both comments make a lot of sense.....
I think I will get a replacement SIM card before messing with the phone. If that makes no difference then its a Settings change then a hard reset.
I hope to god the sim card change will do it.
OK here's where I'm currently at.
I tried a number of options to get it working with no success, then I did the following and it came back on.
1. Turned on WIFI
2. Set the phone to Flight Mode
3. Powered down the phone for about 5 Minutes
4. Powered it back up and waited for it to settle down.
5. Turned off flight mode (it asked for my PIN)
6. Put the PIN and it booted up with WIFI on.
7. Turned off WIFI and the Data came on right away.
I have since turned WIFI on and off and the data go's on and off as expected. I also checked my email and did a search on Google on the data plan and it loaded everything fine.
I'm keeping my fingers crossed it has sorted itself out.
I hope the above instructions will help someone with the same problem should it happen to them.
No access to Optus data
Hey guys,
Sorry to dig up an old thread but I've been having a similar issue.
Calls and SMS work fine but the data is 110% gone.
I previously had an Optus prepaid and I noticed that I could never get the data to work.
I have now switched to TPG...somewhat hoping that it'd be better, turned out the same (granted they are the same network).
I have tried fiddling around with different APNs and restarting the phone each time to no avail

Tyvm it worked for me. I actually tried something similar like this the first time it happened but I didn't remember what exactly but now when you listed it, it seemed to work. Thanks alot
So I picked up a couple of used 32GB Touchpads Both were stuck at the setup screen waiting for WiFi to find a network. They would just continually scan.
So I bypassed the setup, neither WiFi or Bluetooth will turn on. I tried a few fixes I found on the internet with no luck. Enable then Disable Airplane mode, Leave it running trying to turn on BT and WiFi overnight on a charger. I rolled it back to 3.0.0 then back up to 3.0.5 one by one with the same results.
I decided to go ahead and try CWM and see what happens. WiFi and Bluetooth work perfectly in CM9 and CM10??!!?? Not a single issue. So I went back to WebOS and since I don't have WiFi I used WOSQI to install Uberkernel and Govnah, thinking maybe a new kernel would fix it. The same results as before.
For the life of me I am stuck. Sure Android works perfect but I would still like to figure out where the problem is.
Anybody have any ideas?
even me im having problem with my wifi

So far I have tried editing the tokens, replacing them with working tokens from other TP, deleting the tokens and restarting, forcing a new mac through novacom. The closest I have come is a mac showing for etho in ifconfig but no wirelss at all in iwconfig and the token still shows all 0s for the mac.
