I guess everybody who flashed cm10 knows about this. Connecting to wi-fi takes a lot of tries to work, if at all. I managed to connect to my router at home, but it is super annoying to spend 20 minutes at work to reboot and change regional settings just to find out that it doesn't work at all.
Is there any solution to this? Have I done something wrong? Atm i'm running the latest nightly, but i also had the issue with the FXP 152.

Yes, its a well known issue. You could have asked in the cm10 discussion thread instead of starting a new thread here.
The trick is
1) Enable wifi, reboot
2) Search for network, reboot
3) Connect to network and enter password, reboot
4) This time do it all again and it will work.
So, the regional settings don't have anything to do with this issue?

I have had a problem develop recently and I have not really changed anything that I can think of to cause this problem but my phone will not connect to wifi.
first of im on cm5.0.5.3, epe54b and im running launcher2... the problem is if i go to turn wifi on it just says "unable to start wifi" and I cannot check the box to turn it on...
now i could go back to one of my nandroids or reset everything but I dont really care to because I would rather figure out this problem as-is... any ideas?
I am wondering if a file got corrupted or something along the way, but more-less it was like one day it worked and the next day it said nope not gunna happen haha...
You need to copy in a compatible wifi driver to go with the new kernel.

If it happens again I would recommend reflashing Cyan's rom and then gapps addon. You can do that without wiping so it shouldn't affect anything. If i continues after that, you may have to wipe and install.

JHaste, did you find a solution?
So I just flashed CM9 Nightly (07/30/12) and got everything up and running. However, the WiFi doesn't seem to want work. I click "on" and it switches to on for a second, then goes back to "off" whilst showing "Enabling WiFi". Ill upload a screenie later to elaborate. Im going to try reflashing tonight. Does this happen to anyone else and has anyone fixed it?
[EDIT]: Resolved.

Did you try to restart it? It happened to me and a simple restart did the trick. However I had to do it everytime I turn off the wifi and want to turn it back on though.

Yeah, I've tried restarting it, booting into WebOS then back to CM9, clearing Dalvik cache, all to no avail.

Try reflashing it with the following wipe routine: wipe cache, format system, and wipe dalvik cache. You might have to re flash gapps, but it should work. Good luck.
Try running FXR Wifi fix and rescue.
I'm in the same boat. I bought this thouchpadb when they had the firebstorm and never had issues till we had to switch routers from att. Funny thing is it would not work when I switched modems but worked after going back to old modem to test. After using the old modem I had to hook up the new modem because the old one looses connection. It worked for a week then started acting up again. It won't even connect in web os. It says authenticating , connecting but never does. I'm ready to eBay it qnd get a nexus 7 but will miss the size.

Hi all,
I'm running custom roms for almost 1,5 years on this phone and never had any problem.
But since a few weeks, i cannot turn my wifi on anymore.
I usually use 3G, but once I need to download some larger files (updates for example) I sometimes enable wifi. As I don't use wifi that much, I can't really then when this problem started.
When I try to enable wifi (swiping off -> on) it goes to on but the button stays "grey". Once I exit the settings menu, and reopen it again, it shows "off" again for wifi.
Turning it on via another menu doesn't make any difference too.
I already updated my roms, but still no luck. Tried difference modems as well, but no luck.
Bluetooth works the way it should, so it's only related to wifi.
I already tried renaming the "/data/misc/wifi/wpa_suppliant.conf" file, but after a reboot the system doesn't even recreate that file.
Also took the battery out for some time, but that didn't any effect at all.
Anyone that has some ideas what could this problem?
Thanks!

Try another kernel. Try reflashing your ROM too. BTW it's not modem related.
Smack that thanks button If I helped!
Always make a nandroid backup before trying anything risky.

Thanks for you response!
Any kernel recommendations?
The phone is currently running AOSPA (Pananoid Android) 4-ALPHA, but without any difference when it comes to wifi.
Current kernel:
3.0.64-CM-g7fc3ce7

Go back to a stock rom and check. Wifi is kernel dependent.
Hi all,
Lately, I ran into a problem with the stock Note 3. It can't automatic connect to wifi. I have to enter the the wifi password manually to connect. My phone is stock with 4.4,2. I have "Keep wifi on during sleep" set to always. I can't seem to figure out what's wrong with this phone. My other phone (S3) works fine when I switch to different wifi network.

There is a fix for it. You have to edit something on build.prop but I forgot edit what.
Just install a custom rom, they should already fixed the problem.
Thanks, found it right after posting.

I found the post referencing the build prop file you are referring to right after I posted this message. It worked like a charm. Thank you for the response though. May lead someone else to the answer.

Hi so i've been searching and re-searching over and over to fin what is going on but i can't find a solution to my problem, turns out that mi wifi (and bluetooth) can't turn on, funny thing is, i have to reset several times in order to make them work but it will last just a few minutes, although i have notice that when i make it work and stay connected on a strong wifi signal sometimes it wont deactivate but not always this is getting frustating, another thing is that when i do a factory reset or install a new rom rather stock or cm or any variation it will work but just for a minutes as well.... any idea what it could cause this and how to fix it??

FIRST OF ALL MAKE SURE YOU HAVE A UNLOCKED BOOTLOADER!! AND YOUR BOOTLOADER SAYS: DEVICES IS UNLOCKED: STATUS CODE 3. IF YOUR BL IS NOT UNLOCKED DONT PROCEED ANY FURTHER, but I think its unlocked since you have flashed a custom rom. Any ways Follow this to solve your problem or get the diagnose for the your problem:
50% it might be a hardware problem or 50% it might be a software problem.... to make sure whether its a software or hardware problem do this:
1: Download the stock firmware of you Moto X.. You can find it specifically for your phone. Stock firmware are available for all models like 1058,1052,1060 etc..
2: Put your phone on Fastboot mode
3: Flash the firmware that you downloaded before through RSD lite, then your phone will be on its factory state properly, all partitions are erased and re-written when you RSD your phone. So any bad driver,kernal etc will be erased
4: Now Check your wifi and bluetooth properly if it does not work again after flashing the stock firmware then im sorry mate it would be a hardware problem obviously because you have already erased and everything and re-written it. If it does work then congratulations :good:
Let me know if it works and dont forget to hit the thanks button if it works.
thanks for the answer dude! i've already had donde that several times, so i guess it's hardware problem :/ u know if it has a solution without warranty?

Yes then its a hardware problem bro... umm if you are without warranty then you can check if you have any local markets in your city which repairs phones.. other then there is no way to solve your problem as in XDA no one has much information about the repairing of phones...
