Cm7 WiFi issue? - Nook Color General

I recently upgraded to a nexus 7 so I passed the nook color onto my girl so she could use it for a PDF reader for her knitting patterns, its running the newest stable release is cm7 and it doesn't pick up our WiFi in the living room, it always says out of range, even though our phones(galaxy s 2 and 3) and the nexus 7 all pick up the WiFi signal with at least 2 or 3 bars, is this a know issue maybe driver related or is there anything I can do short of moving my router and hoping for the best?

Have you tried forgetting the network and then logging back in? That seems to help a lot of WiFi issues.

if you go to the portal on xda you should find they did an artical on the app and its ok not all perfect and if u just hold a printed picture of the person who is needed than u can still get in pointless at that point theory behind it is good
Lol yeah but who going to have a picture of your face? Especially if it at the spur of the moment lol

My take is as long as your old lady isn't frequenting this thread she's not likely to get past it to your text messages its not a govnt retina scanner but it def keeps most people out. Even if you left your phone somewhere it would be more than enough security to someone who doesn't know what you look like

Exactly. If the phone is lost they're sol. Unless they know how to reset.

cool, but PIN/password/pattern lock is a lot more practical in my view...
Awesome app, my gf will never get in now!! with the pattern and pin, she is good at watching me open it when in the car or something like that and then i see her later playin with it. and i don't think she will be smart enough(lol) to figure out she needs to put a photo to open it.

Wifi and random reboots

I seem to have figured out that my persistent random reboots happen when
1. My phone is idle
2. When I'm not home
3. When I'm not connected to my home wifi
I have auto wifi installed. I'm going to uninstall it and monitor my phone when i leave the house later.
Can anybody else who have the random reboot problem confirm if the conditions i've listed above are similar to yours?

You also have nummber 2. Do you have wifi at home?
Sent from my GT-N7000 using Tapatalk 2
It's been 5 hours since I left home. No random reboot so far. Looks like auto wifi is the culprit. Not sure if it's conflicting with something. Will post another update by the end of the day.
No random reboot in 12 hours. Guess it's safe to already assume that auto wifi did infact cause it for me.

Issues after AT&T 4.1.1

Hello,
Im using an Atrix HD with 4.1.1
After update i noticed this issues.
First of all,
After rebooting the phone all the widgets are gone!! And i need to configure them to main screen. And after other reboot the widgets are gone again.
I use Swiftkey as my main keyboard and i set it up and then noticed that after rebooting the Atrix HD. The configuration is also gone!!! And i have to "activate" the keyboard in order to use it again.
Also... My signal is too low most of the time. 1 bar 2 bars.. i never seen full bars. I been around the city and no good signal at all. Also some times i want to place a phone call and i see a red triangle where the bars suppose to be.
Can someone please HELP!!!
Thanks!
:crying:

If a new ROM would fix it, why can't he just do a factory reset?

What about the signal?
He needs to switch the radio (or i'm wrong?), and we don't have any way to do that

The keyboard disappearing act is solved by uninstalling and then reinstalling said keyboard with TiBu.
Launcher widgets I dunno I use nova prime.
Sent from my MotoAHD Maxx
I found on various other posts that losing widgets after reboot is a bug in JB 4.1.1 that has to do with Play Store. And it only affects paid apps, not free ones. This affects all phones on 4.1.1, not just the Atrix HD.
Fixes are to wait for a 4.1.2 or 4.2 update, or install a free version of the app/widget. I tried this with the Business Calendar app and it worked.
Sent from my MB886 using xda app-developers app
well i tried the free app solution and is working.. its not the solution. but is something.
But my biggest concern is the poor signal.
I have my dads iPhone 5, my mom's One X and them are full signal and i only get 3-4 bars.
The issue is that the signal is always jumping 3 bars, 4 bars, no bars, red triangle.... 15 seconds.. and jumps to 4 bars, then 3 bars, then 2 bars, then triangle... no data no calls.... 30 seconds, and all time is like that... i took it apart, and all connectors with the antennas on the back parts like fine. i even place a small piece of tape below the connector and the golden connectors to increase the pressure on them.
What can i do?

Try it M-3 .

Is the Bluetooth issue fixed? It was refusing to turn on after being turned off.
I guess i'll try it. I can always go back to my backup.
Its working here, but then i havn't had a Bluetooth issue for quite a while.
Yes... After updating to the new play store everything has been flawless. Super smooth and fast.

Did you wait for your device to do it automatically, or did you sideload an apk?
I'm asking because I still don't have the new Play Store.

Could be your charing port on the phone, I had to replace mine not that long ago.
That's what I thought it was, but i went back to Avatar Rom 1.3 and it's back to normal. No biggie though, changed my everyday phone to a Nexus 4 and I just use the Note as a Tablet for Netflix and YouTube.

It does take a lot longer to charge but I figured the battery(s) are larger. The biggest bug I've experienced (at the wrong time of course) is the loss of Network (calls) when shutting off WiFi. I have to reboot the phone.
Love it otherwise. I use it as my daily and can't wait for the next build in a week or so.
Not getting the network problem here. Might try to redownload and reflash.
The latest few nightlies have not been real stable. I keep going back to my backup of this M3, it does everything well here, fast and stable.
Switching to 10.1.0-RC1

Been having the same problem with file transfers locking up the phone and the screen jumping back and forth on websites and Kindle.
I've re-flashed clean and that helped the network issue dropping after turning off WiFi.
Let's see how the new RC1 build does...
YMMV, but here M3 is a lot more stable than RC1. There is a thread in the general forum on RC1.
I tested file transfers after your post on another thread. Stopped after 2 GB so its working OK here. Might test with different cables, computers.
Actually bad advice. I should have suggested that when the freeze happens you need to file a bug report here: https://jira.cyanogenmod.org

Wifi problem

My device is running viper on kit Kat, going stock(4.3/4.4) has same problem, my WiFi is slow at my house, I get about 1-4 mb when my iPad gets 15-25. Same with friends iPhones/ android devices. So it seems like it's a router problem, different routers at different places produce good speeds, just not this. Just wondering if anyone knows what I can do here, I have a Comcast router/modem combo they installed saying it would be better. Seems as if it's better..Just not for my phone. Any help would be appreciated
