I'm using the stock Tmobile wifi Hotspot app on my phone to have wifi on vacation. I can connect my laptop to it no problem. I'm on it now. But after the first night, my Nook can't find it. It scans but won't connect at all. I'm using CM nightly 142. It had previously been working, but when I put my Nook to sleep so I could sleep, it didn't work the next day. I had been running 7.1rc1 and even tried flashing to the new nightly, thinking maybe it was a problem with the rc1, but I didn't wipe anything. Anyone have any ideas?
I recently picked up a Nook HD+ and I put verygreen's native emmc CM 10.1 on it and it runs absolutely awesome. I have this build cm-10.1-20130801-UNOFFICIAL-ovation-emmc.zip on it.
Last night I was at work and I was trying to tether it to my stock (rooted) Motorola Photon. I usually run android-wifi-tether to hook up my laptop for some wifi but the nook would not even see the wifi signal.
So I decided to give the bluetooth tether a try and aftr I paired them and ticked the check box on the nook to use it for an internet connection I was surfing away on 3G with no issues.
Well 4G is limited in my area (Sprint) but I only get it at work. So I sync up my nook to my phone and turn on 4G on my phone and while everything looks good I cannot get an internet connection on the Nook. Internet works just fine on my phone in 4G but nothing on the nook. If I turn 4G off the Nook connects to the internet just fine.
So odd...... does anyone have any ideas that can help?

After I first run cm11, I come across this bluetooth problem the same as you. But when I reboot my HD+, ths tether return to normal.
I don't mean to introduce any more trouble, but why not upgrade your version of CyanogenMod to CM 10.1.3 stable from: http://download.cyanogenmod.org/?device=ovation&type=stable
The stable version should be capable of pairing bluetooth seamlessly; just ensure you install CM10.1.3 and NOT CM 10.2. If you install CM10.1.3, you'll be on the same version of Android, and you won't need to reinstall Gapps. Plus a few users stated that they ran into bluetooth pairing issues with CM10.2.1.
Of course, if you want to upgrade to CM10.2.1 you can do; it's your choice. If you do, make sure you install the correct Gapps version.
All the best. Please let us know if installing a stable build solves your problem.
Hey guys. I've been poking around but haven't found a decent answer to this issue. I have 2 Nook HD+ running the latest nightly of CM10.2 on EMMC and ever since mid August (when I first went to 10.2 I suppose) I've had an issue of the WIFI data connection dropping. It usually happens after the tablet has been sitting a while. The Nook shows a good WIFI connection, but when I go to do anything I have no internet connection.
Resetting the wifi on the Nook fixes it 100% of the time. It's not a deal breaker, but it's pretty annoying. Is anyone else having this issue? Is there a setting in my router I could tweak to help things? Other devices seem to be ok. I have a NETGEAR WNDR 3700. Thanks!

Same problem here on both an HD and HD plus, CM 10.2 EMMC, on two different routers. No issues on a Nexus 7.
I tried CM10.2 (milestone, not nightly) on my Nook HD and either wasn't able to get a wifi connection, or wasn't able to maintain a wifi connection once connected.
I tried the milestone and the latest nightly yesterday, but I had to go back to 10.1 to have usable wifi. I couldn't download anything without the connection dying about 5% of the way in, and restarting wifi doesn't fix it.
I thought this was a CM 10.2 problem so I reverted back to 10.1 final and am having the same issue. My Nook will display that it's connected to wifi but when I try to load anything I get nothing. The only way to solve it seems to be to turn wifi off and then on. When I let it sit for a while and come back to it I have to do the reset again. Is there something wrong with my hardware or is this a common problem? It's happening on two of my Nooks. Thanks.

If it does it on both CM10.1 and CM10.2, sounds like a router problem to me.

But why just the Nooks? Everything else is fine on my router to include two Android phones.

not sure but ya one of the wifi protocols maybe "N" is a problem if its enabled.
Do a google search for Nook HD+ wifi disconnecting and you'll find which one
you need to disable on your router.
Mine did that as well, so I disabled that one protocol and its been ok
ever since.
Or it's a CM problem. I switched to Carbon and the problem seems to have gone away. Disabling n is not an acceptable solution, at least not to me.

I tried assigning the Nooks a. Static IP but that didn't help. I suppose that I could bump my 2.4ghz network down to 54mps Max, but I dislike that solution.

Wifi disconnects
Was there a solution to this? My nook hd+ running CM11, version 11-20140403-NIGHTLY-ovation.
My Wifi disconnects intermittently. For example, I might be connected for 10 minutes, and then it just stops working. I have gotten used to having a terminal open pinging my gateway or AP. Latency is typically 2 to 4 ms, but jumps to 90, then 200, then timeout. I have to toggle Wifi or airplane mode to get it to reconnect.

As far as I know there isn't. I just updated past the April 13th cm11 build (which I thought I did before but didn't *smacks head into wall*) which fixes a wlan bug and am checking to see if that works right now as I have had the issue on two cm11 devices.
However, I noticed my wifi Access Point has been seeing power failures so unsure if that's related at this time.
I'm not sure of it being the router or ap as one device may be working while one won't be so its possible its cm.
It might be possible to use an app like 'wifi fixer' (I think it can do that) to automatically toggle wifi on/off, to fix it as a workaround. Not at that point in testing yet.

I have a similar problem with WiFi on my HD+ running CM 10.2.1, but not exactly the same. In my case, we have two wi-fi access points (i.e., two routers) in the house on different channels. I stay connected 100% on whichever I first connect with. But over time, the HD+ stops scanning, and doesn't see the other router. (Or the neighbors' wi-fis.)
I remembered seeing something about this with CM when I first joined the forum - the solution is to turn wi-fi off and then on. It rescans, and everything is okay again.
I wonder if it has something to do with the "Wi-Fi optimization" option, that "minimizes battery usage on Wi-Fi." But I haven't tried disabling that. Guess I'll do it now and report in a few days if it makes a difference.

Hmm, that is interesting. I have a single router but running two instances, a 2.4Ghz and 5Ghz band. Both have the same SSID and pass phrase. I just wanted to make it easier for systems that supported both bands to jump back and forth.
I think I will change the SSID of the 5Ghz band and make them truly separate networks.
Thanks for the feedback.
I updated it with CM10.2, it works fine for 2 days. Suddenly, the wi fi is not working. It can't even see any Wi-Fi network, no MAC address too. I installed other ROM using clockwork, but the Wi-Fi still is dead. However, when I boot in WebOS, the Wi-Fi is working ok. Then I used ACMEUninstaller to delete everything and ACMEInstall5M to install CM10.1. Wi-Fi is still not working and no MAC address too. Then I boot into WebOS. But this time, the Wi-Fi in WebOS is dead too. It can't see any Wi-Fi network.
Any idea or suggestion?
