[Q] Need Help with WiFi

I am running aospmod 9.7.
deca's latest kernel ( CFS )
Setcpu set at 710 max-245min
i can connect to almost any router except for one
I am sitting a few feet from a buffalo nfinity highpower router and I can't even see it with my hero.
The bad part is that the two Iphones that co-workers have can connect without a problem

I am using aosp's stock kernel and I have that exact same router with no issues. I am using WEP encryption. I have no suggestions, but thought if you know what is working it might help.

i got it fixed. that router for some reason doesn't show up if it is configured as an access point.

Well, at least you got it

now i am having problems with it again.
I can't see the router anymore.
if i restart it i can see it for a few min and connect to it but then it fails.
I tried to wipe and re install 9.7 but that didn't help either.
I am taking a lot of abuse from these Iphone guys.....

I have two Buffalos, both set up as access points, and I can connect to both with my Hero.
Firmware issue with the Buffalo?

Unfortunately This is a work router so the IT guy is not giving me access to the router settings. I am going to try a different ROM and see if it is truly the router or the phone.
The IT guy has an Iphone so he is really laughing at me now.

Try changing the wifi setting channel in CM6 go to wifi settings and hit the home button then hit advance and choose try a different channel its 11 by default hope it helps

i did and nothing.
i was wondering if there was something i could change in the build.prop or some other file.

I would try a different rom also I remember being @ a hotel in Houston and I could connect to the network but no access until I realized I had to go open up my browser and accept the terms and what not of there network don't know if this will help but thought I'd post it in case it might also try a diffent kernel good luck

[Q] Wifi Disconnecting in Gingerbread

My wifi is constantly getting disconnected. I have to reconnect many times a day. This is really getting frustrating. It was working fine(very much FINE) on froyo 2.2.1 xxkb3 rooted and deodexed but after i updated to 2.3.4 gingerbread, this problem began! Is there someone who might be knowing what the problem is????
First i tried stock XXKPH, then i tried after CF root and after that i thought a custom ROM might help so i installed GanaROM but wifi is not working properly in any one of them. It is getting diconnected if i don't use it for like 5-10 minutes. And i have even turned the wifi sleep policy in the advanced wifi settings to NEVER. But still!!

USE CONNECTIFY v1.20

I have the problem like this. Can you try to ping 8.8.8.8 from console of your phone? I have almost 80% of lost packets. If you will see this, you have to change your WiFi router. I've tested my phone with 3 routers and only with Asus 520GU I can't use WiFi with GB (with Froyo all is perfect)

Yes, I have this problem and still don't have solution. That's why I'm at Froyo. I don't want to change my home WiFi router if I'm not sure that the phone will work with new one.

i9001 problem with wifi

hi guys,
i have some problems with wifi.. if I connect my phone in wifi area, after some minutes it disconnects automatically. another problem is the switch beetween 3g and wifi, sometimes wifi doesn't connect automatically.
firmware version
pda: I9001xxkqb
phone: I9001xxkpl
csc: I9001OXXKP8
build info: tue mar 20 11:04:55 kst 2012
please help me... I already did wipe factory and data cache.
thx
francesco

Yep, same problem for me.
I made 2 threads here but the stupid moderators moved it again on i9000 Q&A, so it got lost.
They basically deleted it.
BECAUSE **** LOGIC.

My wifi works exactly 3 minutes (180 sec) before disconnect. Where is the switcher?

you could also try using a static ip adress...and does it happen when you are connected only to home nework or ?
@kellermanv well till now there wasnt even workaround..

If you have a time limit on your connections its either your DHCP Lease Time set to 180 or wifi.supplicant_scan_interval (in build.prop) set to 180

Here it is.
Maybe i can replace it with settings.db from KQ1 ROM ?

broodplank1337 said:

definitely it's not the reason because this value is define an interval between the scans when your phone is NOT connected to any hotspot and it scanning for a known or open network.

Do You know how to use ADB shell?

Yes i know how to use it, basic commands, nothing fancy like flashing boot.img or anything like this.
I only used the commands i need for deodexing.

Nvm

kellermanv, check your PM
jonah666, I don't even know if I can do anything, so don't You be ahead of the game

So, in a brief, the problem is:
since Q7 ROM and upper Samsung improperly do interprets "wifi_idle_ms" value as global WiFi timeout or as after-last-activity timeout instead of after-the-screen-goes-off timeout, as it standard.
Who dare to cure it?

Well, with your value put at 5 minutes, it dropped only when the screen was off after exactly five minutes. if the screen would have been on for 5-6-7-8 minutes, it wouldn't have dropped.
now i tried with value 0, 5 minutes gone and wi-fi didn't drop. i'll let you know in the morning if it dropped or not.
L.E: Nevermore, it dropped again.

Wi-Fi not connecting

When turning on Wi-Fi, it's saying connecting and then disconnected, but below that notification says wi-fi available (status Excellent)
Tried all ROMs CM10, Zeus v7, and UltraICS ROM
With all of above ROMs, problem existed.
Waiting for solution..

Because you don't have solution for problem.
You just want to talk something useless for timepass..:silly:
Instead of creating multiple waste offending posts, try to solve if you can...:good:

i am giving you my first thanks for your very useful post.
thanks for fixing me.
my mind completly changed after your post..
oh my god
you are the best.
if you want solution, you must tell more information
such as, before you have this issue? this happened after what? or when?
this happening only one place or everywhere?
maybe your modem issue? or adsl or whatelse issue?
maybe your device damaged
you should paste a logcat
and tell more information...

Using Zeus v7, last night OK, but today afternoon suddenly WiFi problem srarted

Everywhere
maybe your modem issue? or adsl or whatelse issue?
WiFi working on CM after flashing 3 times alternating other ROMs
maybe your device damaged
No damage or dropping
you should paste a logcat

I will try to do logcat

It's causing the wi-fi problem.
In 2nd page of v30b ICS user manual, a special indication about wi-fi region wise, maybe that's the culprit for wi-fi problem.

This problem usually happens when you are using a wifi modem with a mac address filtration or something
Try looking in the modem's settings about mac address options

Thanks for reply, but before wi-fi problem I am using it for 2 years with no problem of mac address or anything else, (wi-fi is open without password)
After flashing Zeus, UltraICS, and CM10 alternating with multiple times, get wi-fi problem gone away on CM10 now, maybe if I flash some ROM, problem may arise again.
Now again, no problem with mac address or anything.

try with another device. if it's ok, it will mean that the the issue is on phone side

it's not mac address problem then

[Q] why does wifi always die in DjangoManoucheX?

Okay guys I've got a constant problem with DMX, not just with this version, but I start to get tired of it. So after a day or two of flashing, wifi starts to stuck at "Obtaining IP address", and does not connect at all after that. As I said it's not only with this version (I'm on 1.6.5), I have also tried different kernels, etc, but it's still the same. I don't want to always reflash, but I'd also stick with this ROM as I really like it. This problem does not come up on CM-based ROMs at all. Thanks for any tips.
Btw I've also tried static/dynamic IP settings, I've changed a router (not because of this), reseted it many times, so not that I didn't try anything at all.

I never had a issue... Have you installed the rom with full wipe?

Of course I did a full wipe, didn't restore any system apps, and as I said it works perfectly for a few days, then bamm! I was playing SongPop, started a game with someone and it stopped when downloading songs.. then I went in wifi options and it showed this IP bug once again. By the way I've just finished reflashing (now without full wipe), and it doesn't even connect now. I really like flashing ROM's etc, but not the same one all over again lol.

Finally I could set static IP on my phone, works now, Thread can be closed. If anybody has the same problem (I've read I'm no the only one), then holla at me!

I'm having a wifi issue from the day i have purchased this phone my wifi always go in the sleep mode don't know why no matter which ROM i use it goes to sleep after the screen is locked or after 5-6 sec of no use of phone.
i'm the only one having this prob i guess.. I thing its an hardware issue, not sure, hope some1 could help me out ^_^
Note: i have kept wifi policy sleep never

Problems with wifi is a kernel issue.
Its adviseable to post which kernel is used

Well I wouldn't be sure, as I was using Kowalski kernel and KoB kernel too, both had the same problem, and only on DjangoManoucheX ROM. But it seems to work now with static IP set.
akash.mahadeshwar has his ROM/kernel stated in his signature, too bad I can't help you.

Lol I don't know if its hardware or software issue but changing rom or kernel dosent fixes it :-/

have you tried changing your wifi to static ip?
if not, then go into wifi settings and long press/modify the one you cannot connect to. Go to advanced settings and change from DHCP to Static IP. Run Windows commander (just type 'cmd' in the Start Menu search box), and type 'ipconfig /all'. It will show all the informations you need to type to your device's wifi settings. You can give almost any number to the first IP field (when your IP getaway is, for example 192.168.7.1, you only have to change the last number to any you want to, like 192.168.7.155.. but the best way is to get the IP number your device used before wifi got stucked). If you can't see DNS1 and DNS2 in your ipconfig, then you have to go into your router's settings (in browser), that will show them. If you type everything correctly, then Save button won't be greyed out no more, and voila. Wifi works perfectly for me since then. I hope it helps.

Changing Wi-Fi to static is far from being a solution; at best it's a workaround.
It's probably related to LG code, used to compile the module loaded by kernel.
I'm not sure if the problem you're reporting us exactly this: I have a brief disconnection/reconnection sometimes when I unlock the phone (Wi-Fi suspends policy sets as never), but this it's not annoying me to much because while sleeping it's connected, and the 2-3s after wake-up is not to much.
Do not say "thanks"; just press it under here.

No, my problem was I could not connect to my wifi AT ALL. Couldn't even do it after a full wipe and reflash, so using a static IP is a solution for me, as it works for 3 days by now. It can be related to the stock ROM's code, as CyanogenMod ROMs don't have this problem for me.

Try flashing KoB kernels again, in mine its wifi work correctly
