I'm running Cm7 nightly 19 and my wifi is acting funny. Its stays connected but after a while I don't get internet and the only way to solve it is to turn it wifi off and on again.
Did anyone face this? How do you work around it?
Have you tried turning the WIFI sleep policy to never sleep?
WIFI Settings>Advanced>WIFI Sleep Policy>Never
Ya but it didn't help!
i was having issues but builds 17+ have been much much better.
no fix that i'm aware of. you could try switching your security settings on the router.
I have seen this and have determined that it could be related to router type and or brand.
See this post.

I was having connection issues with 802.1x at one point - it would show it was connecting then just drop. I fixed it by replacing the wifi folder in /etc/.
Steps:
download the the wifi folder from dl.dropbox.com/u/3220557/wifi.zip
Unzip and Place it on your SD card.
Using Root Explorer, navigate to /etc/, select "mount R/W' and rename the current 'wifi' file 'wifiOLD or whatever you like.
Next, copy the new 'wifi' folder off your sd card and paste in /etc/.
Reboot the nook.
Hope this helps.

what exactly are you replacing with that new wifi folder? did this help others?
I've had problems with a friends nook and my router (mine, same CM7 build, works fine). I'd recommend trying what mndev12 said first, and if that doesn't work try turning off all encryption/security on your router and see if it still happens. From what I can gather here on the forums is that some people are having problems with different security configs.
This might help.
I had the same issue with my NC using a D-Link DIR-615 wireless router. I solved this issue by turning Wireless N off. I set mine to BG only. Works flawlessly. Hope this helps.
Another suggestion to folks with Wifi and router issues. Make sure your router has current/updated firmware running on it. I know we all get in the habbit of setting them up and just leaving them but the mfgs do in fact push out firmware updates from time to time that can and do make a world of difference in cases like these, specially on older routers

Did you get this issue resolved? If so, I am curious as to how... having similar issues myself. Have played with security settings on router and have tried disabling 'n'... but still seemed to have the connection issues... going to borrow and try a different router altogether tonight or tomorrow.
Good suggestion will2live. I haven't updated mine since I set it up. However I think it is a driver issue with the TI chip we have, not a router issue.

so are youll trying to say that this isnt the issue of cm7?i dont think so...i never had such problems with the stock rom..
Im seeing the same thing - running the encore version and my wifi is all open - drops a bit or takes a while to connect? anyone else?
I loaded the most recent version of CM7 and am having issues with the Nook not finding any WiFi. It worked fine for about 12 hours, but now won't find any access points. I have tried turning off WiFi and back on several times as well as rebooting.
Any ideas on how to get the WiFi to see access points?
Try a clean install? My wifi works pretty well ( I sometimes have to turn off and let it shill for 30 sec) on Phiremod 6.1 (cm7.0.2)

I have had serious wifi headaches myself (with both 7.0.0 and 7.0.2). I have tried each about a dozen times, wiping, different versions of CWM recovery, tried nightlies and always the same. Wifi will connect, I'll start downloading something, and then it will disconnect at some point (may be a minute, may be 3 or 4). Turning wifi on and off brings it back to life but only momentarily. Have no issues with Nookie Froyo or stock. I did try connecting to WEP (other than my usual WPA2) but could only do this by tethering to my phone. It seemed to have fewer disconnects but I did still have issues there. Plus, resorting to tethering or a less secure network is also obviously not really a solution. Really hoping a pattern can be discovered to diagnose this issue because its becoming a deal breaker for me. This issue aside, LOVE the ROM.
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....
Thanks,

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.
Sent from my NookColor using Tapatalk
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.

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...
Have a unique issue that I wanted to see if anyone else has come across.
I'm running CM7 7.1RC w/ nightly 177 via a SD card. The setup runs fine at home with my WiFi/ WPA-PSK, yet at work I sign in with a 802.1x EAP. I can connect once or twice (once I enter the settings), but after about half a day, it fails to connect and I have to "forget" the network and start over.
So, is there a setting that I'm missing somewhere that will retain a EAP-coded network across a large facility without resetting the security settings every 3-4 hours?

Started with 7.1, then did nb177 via ROM update.
Same problem here. Can't get EAP Wifi to work. It works after setting it up once, but later on, it'll fail to work and requires a reconfiguration to get it working again.
Can you tell me how you did the key management and setup?
I tried to import my desktop cert (wired is EAP, too) but I suspect that I'm not putting it in the right place.
A snapshot from wpa_supplicant.conf (anonymized is fine) and if or how you loaded the cert would be most welcome.
Thanks!

Sorry for being unclear. No, it has never worked. Corporate doesn't support Android devices, so they won't help. I'm trying use the cert from my Linux desktop setup on my NC. I can generate a different one if that's part of the problem.
On linux, wpa_supplicant.conf has the cert filenames, but that didn't work here. I haven't tried to import it via Settings/Security, I just copied it onto the same directory I store my SSH keys in.

Incidentally, this is a problem for my phone as well. I have to repeatedly reconfigure the wifi to make it work.
hi
had same problem with 177 changed to 176 and had no problems since
Still have yet to get it to work ... though I "borrowed" settings from my phone's WinMo setup (needed phase2 auth setting of MSCHAPV2, plus adding my domain on the "anonymous" ID.)
Updating now to nightly 197... I'll see how it works.
I'm using 197 as of the moment. EAP is not perfect, but it's tolerable. I need to turn WiFi off and on before it'd pick up an IP. Occasionally, not even that works; then I just use Titanium Backup to restore my [working] WiFi configuration, cycle the WiFi, and it would work again.
Having same problem in nigjtly 200 and 202
FWIW - the issue is still hit-or-miss with the newer nightlies. I'm now on 213, and it's not holding a connection consistently.
Hi All,
I'm in the UK and have a US version P7310 wifi only (Samsung refurb bought off ebay)
Up until the ICS update 3 days ago it was in my opinion an awesome piece of kit
however, since the update, my wifi connection (or data transfer) is down at least 70% to what it was on HC 3.2
I am NOT losing the connection to the router, it is the data transfer that is down!
Many times I get the page is not available try later link might be down or if the page does load most of the data many images do not!
Repeated refreshes seem to have no affect! It was super fast before the update!
I have rebooted and still nothing, so I feel it is an issue in the tab rather than any other kit I have at the moment?
I have a wifi laptop and other android device and they perform as before on wifi so it's not the router!
I have also put the tab next to the router and it has made no difference!
I have searched the settings in the tab for anything obvious like load images or choke the bandwidth or whatever
and have turned many things on and off without success! I use the standard browser and the dolphin browser and both
act the same!
The tab has never been routed, it came with HC3.1 then I updated over the air to HC3.2 and then to ICS4.04
I know there is a folder for wifi in the settings and wondered if there was anything I could change to see if it improves anything?
Or has anyone else found their wifi is poor?
The 70% was accurate, not exaggeration, so much so that the tab is unusable for me like this!
I know it is early days for the ICS and the 8.9 world but would REALLY appreciate some advice for things to try please?
Kind regards
PS loved the noob video
Is it possible to go back to 3.2? I I restore factory settings it shall go to 3.1 and I assume 4.04? Would it go to 3.2 first?
Hmm...
Well, the support thread for the official ICS update has no mention of such issues.
Doing a factory reset will only reset the current ICS 4.0.4 to its default settings and will not revert the tablet to Honeycomb 3.1 or 3.2.
To downgrade, you should attempt through Kies, though I am not sure it offers the feature.
What I am certain of is that you can downgrade to 3.2 fairly easily by manually flashing a 3.2 firmware release.
You can download an official Honeycomb 3.2 United Kingdom release for the P7310 HERE
If you have no idea how to flash it through ODIN, please download this .zip archive that holds all the necessary tools. Then refer to THIS thread (where the archive came from) and read the short instructions on using ODIN in the How-to Section, last topic named "Using ODIN 1.85".
If you proceed to downgrade, consider to load the provided .pit file in ODIN 1.85's folder and checking "Repartition" in the program. Clicking Start with the .pit file loaded will wipe all data from your device, including everything that resides on the SD card.
After successfully downgrading to Honeycomb 3.2, you can attempt the ICS upgrade once again, but make sure to execute a factory reset from within Honeycomb's settings (or through recovery mode) on your device, before doing the update.
If the Wi-Fi issues continue within ICS, I am afraid I am short of knowledge to help track down the issue.
Good luck.
Solution?
Hi.
Maybe this will work for you: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1846766
strange
I doubt this is related to the 5ghz issue (that has different symptoms = not being able to connect).
Did you go to ICS using Odin, Kies or OTA?
Have you tried flashing the Stock ICS through Odin?
Have you tried doing a full data wipe? (reset to Stock)?
If you need to keep your app data, then save it with something like Titanium Backup (or make a Nandroid backup so you can return to current state, after experimenting)
What is your router? anything "exotic" about your WLAN settings?

Not different symptoms. Equal symptoms. nakedninja42 was referring to the 5GHz band in his post,

but did not say that he couldn't connect at all. And thus it makes sense to try it. Especially since Bananajet writes
that he doesn't lose connection - only speed (transfer).
Connection
Gentlemen,
thank you for your concise replies! To answer the points I think worth noting!
I downloaded OTA using the tabs own system (the 300mb file) it updated ok!
I did notice that I had to download 3 times as each previous one did fully download but didnt do anything!
On these downloads, I did not have the charger plugged in but had approximately 75+% of battery!
When I did do it the third time with charger plugged in, it updated as you would expect!
Strangely the tab has improved today and I would say 95% of clicks to a website or a refresh have performed as usual!
However (using dolphin browser) with one site open and a new tab for another, it would again not load all the images on the second page
but did NOT give me the page down link like the day before!
I would say it was a bad day for my wifi BUT the other bits of kit I use ALL performed as usual when the tab didnt
so I am still unsure of the problem? I did consider that the other bits of kit (nokia phone, Android Phone and a Laptop)
although NOT actively connecting to anything to download except being on whatsapp might be bullying the tab out
but I tried turning them off and it didnt change anything!
So I think I shall watch what happens and report back and see if anyone else mentions poor transfers?
By this I mean I REMAIN connected to the router and im NOT sure of the actual transfer rates BUT its like
the connection stops half way when the page loads (link down or photos half loaded) and no amount of refresh makes them reload
until such a time (usually 5 mins) that it does! This then does NOT start working normally (fast loading) but usually repeats itself
and doesnt load again! I do feel that any sites with mainly text and mininal graphics did load ok giving the impression
of a burst of power and then giving up hallf way if there was too much to load (my words, not one from a tech manual haha)
So just to say, the tab is working much better but not perfect! Shall report again when have more hours online!
Thank you again for your help
Kind regards

Update
Gentlemen (and any ladies)
after a few weeks using ICS 4 here are my findings! If anyone can help I would be very grateful as right now, the frustration doesnt compare!
I also realise my original title was slightly misleading, please note I NEVER lose connection to the router, it is the data that seems to
be choked! Almost like the tab only allows a bit through at a time and if there is a load to come through (images or streaming television), it chokes it and very little gets through? Interesting though I dont seem to have any issues wastching youtube much!
To recap, p7310 8.9 wifi version which was a refurb from the US direct from Samsung! Im in the UK! Originally came with HC3.1
I downloaded 3.2 straight away and have done nothing to this machine to alter what came out of the box!
I was very very happy with it and 3.2! Of course, as everyone else, was excited to get ICS 4.04
Downloaded ICS OTA with the update on the tab
I have noticed nothing for my type of usage much difference in ICS apart from possibly better battery but battery was ok anyway!
Back to my problem!
Web pages which contain any amount of thumbnails which might change (alter their positon on the page) when requested as a new page or refreshed very rarely load all of the images! It might load about 5-10% of them when the problem exists which is about 75% of the time! Also streaming live television is very poor to connect although when connected, it works perfectly!
On 3.2 even in my garden I could load web pages that were graphic intensive (nothing extreme, just were there might be mulitple thumbnails etc)
they would load as quick as you would want, reloads, new pages, browsing etc all worked perfectly and streaming television too!
I use the stock browser and one called dolphin
On ICS I would say about 75% of the time, any pages as mentioned above do not load all of the images, only probably about 10% of the images would load, the reast would have place marks showing where the other images should go! It would then stop! Any amount of recycle does not improve it until such time (can be a minute, can be 5 minutes)! The other 25% it works basically as it should, quite fast and normal!
One other issue is IF it is working correctly and I try and load a new tab or page in the background then the new page is highly unlikey to load correctly with any images it might want to display! Like "You cant have both mate" haha
On 3.2 any streaming video or television was perfect, fast and never failed! On ICS it has a 80% failure first time and requires usually 3-4 recyles to 'hook it'! Once it is in, it stays in and works well! If I try and change channel or view something else, it reverts to failure again!
I have changed no settings on router, changed nothing about anything! All other items in the house that might use wifi still perform as before!
The change in the quality happend immediately after ICS download.
This issue has left what was a fantastic bit of kit very frustrating to use and almost unusable!
I would really like to go back to 3.2 if I can but am unsure how easy this is although I do understand that was mentioned in an earlier post
I cannot try the 5ghz method as it is not rooted and to be honest, I am in the UK and that issue is regarding the US networks! My ccode says GB and not ALL btw.
To summarise, it seems that any new or data that requires a lot of refreshing rather than drawing from a cache doesnt want to load?
Any advice would be very helpful,
thank you all again.
Bananajet
Perhaps to do with the wifi channel used by router? Try to use channel 1 (or 6 or 11, avoid higher)
Try an app that gives WiFi diagnostics, like WiFi Analyzer.
Alternatively, reflash any other stock HC or ICS Rom through Odin... You might lose data (downloaded apps, settings, ...) along the way though (not sure, depends on exact approach, etc)
Have you try to test the speed connection wit your tab? I try whit speedtest.net in that site you can find the version for mobile, download it and try, just to see if it is a problem related whit your browser or with you wifi drivers
hope it could help
PS. you can find the app in play store too (same name)
I'm running OMJ's ROM and using WiFi Tether TrevE Mod "Version 3.2-beta-modv5-***Synergized***"
Okay so even with the settings that everyone recommends for the HTCone, and a few modifications, I still cannot get the blasted thing to work.
Settings I've tried:
Profile: Generic ICS/JB(wlan0)
Setup-Method: Auto
Encryption ON (p/w is the correct format AFAIK, about 12 lowercase letters no numbers, similar to the default)
Changed SSID to "HTCone" no spaces
Wifi Driver Reload (1) checked
MSS Clamping checked
Routing Fix checked
With those settings, I can't even get it to broadcast. It says it's running but no devices can find it. It simply isn't there.
If I disable Wifi Driver Reload (1) it begins broadcasting. However, when I attempt to connect, the second device just sits there at "Obtaining IP Address..." for about 90 seconds then retries and gets stuck at "Authenticating" then back. An endless loop never resulting in a connection.
The most frustrating thing about this is that it was JUST working the day before. I didn't touch ANYTHING and it just decided to take a dump.
Addendum: I was looking at the notes in the bottom of the ABOUT screen and I noticed the updates are quite old. Is it possible I have an old version that doesn't work with the HTC One? I got it from QBKING77's website.
Happened to me and don't have an answer. I wiped and didn't restore anything to resolve it. Restoring data broke it again.
Sent from my HTCONE using xda app-developers app
I followed this guide that worked for my Note II and I have no problems. I'm typing this message from my laptop tethered to my ONE. I have WiFi-driver reload 2 checked.

I had no luck wiping the phone and re-installing the ROM. It was still FUBAR after the fresh flash of OMJ. What drives me NUTS about that is the fact that it was JUST working not 12hrs before it stopped working.
To give some more information as to the issue, it appears that checking either one (or both) of the Force Driver options causes it to not broadcast at all. If either of those two are checked, the hotspot isn't even visible to any device. If left unchecked, the hotspot becomes visible. However, upon trying to connect to the hotspot, it gets stuck in a loop of "Authenticating..." then "Obtaining IP address" which never results in a connection.
I've tried the options listed in that guide you posted, but to no avail.
So, at this point, I'm wondering if it's just because I'm using an outdated WiFi hotspot app. If anyone has one that's been updated since a little under a year ago, I'd appreciate a link. Thanks!

I had no luck wiping the phone and re-installing the ROM. It was still FUBAR after the fresh flash of OMJ. What drives me NUTS about that is the fact that it was JUST working not 12hrs before it stopped working.
To give some more information as to the issue, it appears that checking either one (or both) of the Force Driver options causes it to not broadcast at all. If either of those two are checked, the hotspot isn't even visible to any device. If left unchecked, the hotspot becomes visible. However, upon trying to connect to the hotspot, it gets stuck in a loop of "Authenticating..." then "Obtaining IP address" which never results in a connection.
I've tried the options listed in that guide you posted, but to no avail.

Not sure which one you are using but I'm using the one right from the Play Store v3.3 beta 2. You can also get it from here. I just went back to SWG 1.18 from a 4.2.2 ROM and reinstalled and all is good. Everything connects just fine using those settings from the link I posted earlier.

In the first post I listed which version I was using. Unfortunately, even the newest version fails to work. I don't get this. Maybe it has something to do with the OMJ ROM and how close to stock it is. Perhaps I should try a different ROM.
This is a far cry from the CM7 ROM I had on my EVO which allowed me to tether perfectly all the time without the hassle. Maybe I'll try CM again on my One.
I'm gonna download & flash OMJ's ROM & see if I can recreate it. You running the latest version right?

There was some kind of minor update that just came through. Not sure what it was. I haven't installed it yet. My version is current as of a week ago.

Sorry. I downloaded the latest yesterday but was playing around with flex's & hawk's 4.2.2 ports. I'm about to flash in a couple mins and will post my results.
Similar issue here
I'm having issues with wifi tether on my HTC One, as well. I can tell you that if you set the Device-Profile to "Auto," it will create an ad-hoc connection that my Windows 7/Ubuntu Studio desktop will recognize. Ubuntu recognizes it as a regular wifi hotspot, and connects automatically. Windows recognizes it as an ad-hoc connection, and I have to connect manually. My Samsung Galaxy Tab 3 does not see the connection at all, and neither does my LG Blu-Ray player. If I change the profile to Generic ICS/JB (wlan 1), then other devices see the connection, and will even attempt to connect to it, but there is never a successful connection with internet access. If I choose Generic ICS/JB (wlan 0), then nothing sees it as a viable connection. I am running the stock sense ROM, and have done no updates (so I'm still at JB 4.1). I can tell you that wifi tether errors frequently for me, and I have to reboot quite a lot. If I leave my phone broadcasting overnight, then in the morning wifi tether thinks that I don't have root, and gives me the "your phone is in an unknown state" error message; at that point, the only way to stop the wifi is to reboot.
So, I can make it work, for a limited number of devices. I would like to use it as a wifi connection for my tablet and my Blu-Ray player, however. I have searched quite a bit to try to figure this out, and I haven't been able to find a reliable answer. Any help would be appreciated. Thank you.
I got mine to work. Can surf the web, check email, etc. now the damn thing will not stream video. I am connected to 4g and speed test on my ipad verify it but won't stream. Pisses me off.

Okay so even with the settings that everyone recommends for the HTCone, and a few modifications, I still cannot get the blasted thing to work.
Settings I've tried:
Profile: Generic ICS/JB(wlan0)
Setup-Method: Auto
Encryption ON (p/w is the correct format AFAIK, about 12 lowercase letters no numbers, similar to the default)
Changed SSID to "HTCone" no spaces
Wifi Driver Reload (1) checked
MSS Clamping checked
Routing Fix checked
With those settings, I can't even get it to broadcast. It says it's running but no devices can find it. It simply isn't there.
If I disable Wifi Driver Reload (1) it begins broadcasting. However, when I attempt to connect, the second device just sits there at "Obtaining IP Address..." for about 90 seconds then retries and gets stuck at "Authenticating" then back. An endless loop never resulting in a connection.
The most frustrating thing about this is that it was JUST working the day before. I didn't touch ANYTHING and it just decided to take a dump.
Addendum: I was looking at the notes in the bottom of the ABOUT screen and I noticed the updates are quite old. Is it possible I have an old version that doesn't work with the HTC One? I got it from QBKING77's website.

Try to go to advanced settings at the upper right portion of the settings. Then click LAN Settings > Reset to default settings. I have the same problem with you. I've tried it and it worked.
