[Q] Wifi no longer working after setting up VPN

I'm on CM dal .32 test build 3.1
Today I tried setting up a VPN but failed. The screen became frozen and I decided to reboot my Nook Color. However, after rebooting my wifi is no longer working. It says "connecting" but then "disconnected" Scan option didn't show any network.
Anyone can help me?

CM7.0.3 with Nook Color no longer works
Hi,
I've run into the same issue with my nook color. I'm not sure if this is an issue with the kernel or the physical device. I know that this is not a router issue since I'm able to connect other machines to my router. Also, I no longer see any other hotspots with the Nook.
I tried some suggestions that I've found on other websites, which include
Shutdown Tablet and start again
Re-install Google Apps
Use Fix Permissions in Rom Manager
None of these work. Any suggestions or is this a known bug?

Same here, I was using nightly 115 with Dalingrin's 6/18 OC kernel when the problem started. I've since rebooted multiple times, fixed permission both from CWM and in Rom Manager, flashed nightly 117 without flashing OC kernel, and still haven't solved the problem.
Wifi just stays "Connecting" and then changed to "Disconnected" briefly and go back to "Connecting" again.

Just reflash your ROM or the latest ROM and DON'T mess with any OC kernels.
Does it work? If so, try the OC kernel again. If it fails, let Dal know in his OC kernel thread, and just re-flash your ROM again to return to the stock kernel. Wipe cache/dalvik as necessary, but don't wipe data and you're not going to lose anything.
One suggestion I have is if you're using AES on your router, try changing from WPA2 to WPA or changing WPA AES (or AES+TKIP) to just WPA TKIP and see if that fixes the problem.
There's a long standing issue with some routers regarding AES in Android, and apparently some laptops also had this issue on older kernels.

Flashing to the latest rom without messing with the kernel was the first thing I tried (other than turning wifi on and off multiple times). It didn't work.
What eventually worked was when I wiped data and factory reset it. Some how that fixed the wifi.
The strange thing is I had just recently factory re-setted coming from an old (pre 2.6.32) nightly a couple of days ago, and had not gotten around to installing much, and I did not restore from backup. i.e. the only thing installed when the wifi problem suddenly appeared were the google apps, Aldiko, QuickPic, Rom Manager, MoboPlayer, and a few ADW themes. None of which sound like they should do anything that messes up the wifi.
I doubt it has anything to do with the router, because I tried connecting it to my router (tkip), hotspot from my android phone (unlocked) and hotspot from my iphone (unlocked). My phone just did not see any network around at all, not even the 5-6 different network from other people in the building.
As mentioned, I have factory wiped my NC and all is fine again now, so I'm not too concerned right now, just curious what could have caused the problem.

[Q] CM7 Issues (wifi and boot problems)

I recently bought a nook color and flashed CM7 to the internal memory. It worked perfectly for about 2 weeks. Then the trouble started. My wifi would not connect. It would get to the point where it would say, obtaining IP address, then begin the process again without ever actually connecting. So i decided to try to reinstall CM7 hoping that would fix the problem. I attempted this, and to my disappointment, the nook wouldnt boot past the green cm7 logo. I reverted to stock from a backup i made initially, and the nook booted just fine into the stock OS, but the wi fi still would not connect (doing the same thing as in cm7). I reinstalled cm7 and again was greeted with the same boot issue as before. I then followed the "dummies guide to fixing my nook wont boot" and returned it to the stock image and reformatted the data and system partitions as the guide states. I then (again) flashed CM7 (nightly 134). This time, it booted as it should, but the wifi still will not connect, and also the softkeys are not present. In settings, if i select the CM7 settings, i am given a force close notification. I am beyond frustrated at this point and would greatly appreciate any help.
Thank you

I have the same problem with my wifi. It's really weird. It was working last night, then I backed up the current rom and when it rebooted the wifi wouldn't work again. I'm about to just remove cm7 because I don't have the time to fiddle with trying to figure out how to troubleshoot it. A buddy of mine at work is the one who flashed it for me but it hasn't been a great experienced. Rom Manager also doesn't show an updated version of cm7, I think the one that is flashed on my NC is like from may 25th or something.

idk what the hell's going on with it...i cant get it to work no matter what I do and it's driving me crazy. I posted here and on the CM7 forums and havent gotten any help yet, nor have i seen anyone else with the same problem (aside from the above poster).

[Q] Wifi broken, need help please

After a few days running Dlev's 4.2 ROM, my wifi stopped working suddenly. When I try to turn it on it says error or unable to start wifi. I've exhausted several initial options I began walking myself back through various ROM's back to the original 2.1 stock ROM. Without success I even performed a master clear and several reflashes of the orininal stock ROM, nothing is working. I tried FXR Wifi fix and rescue. Does anybody have any ideas on what I should do?
Thanks,

Kernel?
What kernel were you running with the custom ROM? Talon's being updated really frequently, so if it's Talon, you might try the latest version of that (0.4.4.22, as of this writing)

Did you try rebooting your router or device that gives you wireless signal? also see if other devices can connect.

It was Talon 0.4.4, but I've gone all the way back to stock ROM/kernel etc and that makes me think that this is a HW malfunction.
AT&T had me reboot the router too, my laptops are able to connect just fine. It's not really a connection problem either, Wifi will not turn on at all.
I called Samsung and they want me to ship them the phone, still debating that one since I will have to go without a phone.

WiFi Issues

I was hoping that maybe someone could help me troubleshoot my problem.
I recently flashed a new ROM and since then my WiFi has been acting up. It will turn off then instantly turn back on and sometimes take longer than normal to turn on. This is causing quite a problem as it doesn't allow for a stable connection.
At first I thought it could be the router but even when I'm out of range, in town, if the Wi-Fi is enabled it still turns off and on.
So I've tried flashing a custom kernel, and several different ROMs and even the Radio. Nothing seems to fix it. I have wiped and formatted everything I can think of several times but regardless of ROM the Wi-Fi still turns off and on constantly.
Any help would be greatly appreciated.

That happned to me when i flashed stock recovery of older rom version, for example: I had 1.29.401.16 rom with 1.29.401.7 recovery... Probably you have the same issue

So you think it could be the recovery at fault?

Yes, are you running your htc with custom recovery, if yes, the problem is not in the recovey

I am running clockworkmod recovery. Any more ideas?

[Q] Random wifi disconnects/drops

Hello forum! For a few months now, I've been forced to use AOSP roms because of a problem that's been occuring. Ever since the 4.3 firmware, my wifi constantly disconnects and reconnects. I've tried switching from 2.4 to 5 ghz, renaming my device id, restarting the router, trying a different firmware (did all of them including ruu's and all), different kernels, different roms, etc. Now that sense 6.0 is coming out, I'm wondering if anyone else has had this problem, and if anyone else has a fix.

i have the same issue after coming back from stock 4.4
i tried updating the firmware and the issues still remained.

same here

I´ve got the same issue,, running the cm 11 actual nightly on my RAZR HD .. tried everything , the whole restoring reflashing, radios and different recoverys ...nothing worked for me... when i switch manually the frequencyrange of my razr for w-lan it works quite a while but than it drops random till i switch back to automatic frequency ....

I was just running aosp but I wasn't disconnecting. I'm on the most recent firmware and I used the cyanogenmod nightly with stock kernel. On sense I disconnect every once in awhile especially when actually using the WiFi but on cm I wasn't disconnecting so I wasn't worried about disconnecting during castle clash
