Hi All,
I have wiped all data and flashed cm-10-20130418 and I am noticing sporadic wifi issues. Occasionally, the wifi will be connected, then lose connection and no hotspots are found when I hit scan. Sometimes, I can simply toggle wifi and it connects. Other times, it locks when attempting to toggle off. Usually a reboot solves the issue. Anyone else experiencing this? Also semi-related, occasionally the touchpad will not wake from sleep and a force boot while holding all buttons for 20 seconds is needed to reboot.

I've noticed a pretty severe problem with wifi when connecting to an Apple Airport Extreme base station on the 5GHz band. Loading web pages is very slow and often requires reloading for the page to completely load. Pinging the touchpad from another computer shows the touchpad is dropping a large percentage of the pings. When I reconnect to the AP on the 2.4GHz band all is good. Other computers and android devices are working fine with the same AP on 5GHz.

Try unplugging the router for about 30 seconds. This works for me, but might not for you. It's worth a try.
Good luck.

I recently bought a bluetooth keyboard mainly to use while on wifi, but to my disappointed wifi dont seem to work with bluetooth on!
Another problem, my ppc keeps shutting down while i'm using my bt keyboard, tried few "keepalive" apps but it still shuts down, found only one way, thats adjusting the power settings not to shut down permanently, but this needs soft reset every time
Anyone with experience or suggestion on either the above?
Nevermind that, I found out that wifi needs adequate signal strength in order to function properly with bluetooth on.
About the power issue, the main problem was not knowing when the PPC will shut down, so i wrote a morscript to prompt a countdown when its about to shut down, and option to reset the idle timer.
Thanks all..
For those having the constant cycling of the wifi after coming out of sleep or reboot, try this workaround.
Boot or wakeup Nook.
Enable wifi (any method)
Go to Google maps
(don't worry if the map isn't showing yet)
sweep to an area of the map you haven't been before
zoom in several times.....
wait up to 10 seconds....
Hey look the wifi connected and is stable.....
turn off maps...
I have been using this workaround for three weeks now and it works every time and I don't know why this works, but it seems that having an app drawing data seems to break the wifi out of its cycle loop.

and this statusbar hack...
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=999214
Happened to me once. I just turned off wifi, then turned it back on.
I also set wifi not to turn off with the screen. I turn it off manually.
And something I noticed in the last few days is that the wireless is really prone to this problem if you use the advanced settings to toggle wireless off when the screen blanks. I currently have tasker set up to turn off wireless when the screen is off and that doesn't give me any problems. I've been doing this for weeks on the recent cm7 nightlies without a problem

You should've just put that in the title, that you have Nookie Foryo 0.6.8 running Brian's status bar hack.
But thanks for the suggestion. Will give it a go.
There is an app in the market called waketimer that does this also.

I have the wifi cycling issues coming out of sleep with my Froyo Nookie 0.6.8 too.
The work around I found was just to hold the power button until the shutdown menu appears. Do nothing and in about 15-30 seconds I see the wifi connect on the status bar, then I cancel the shutdown menu.
After autonooter3, I'm having the same issue for the first time ever on this device, on rare occasion the wifi won't startup. I downloaded/installed a free app called "Auto WiFi Toggle" and I haven't see the issue surface since.
Could any of you folks let me know if this little app may have solved the problem, or is it just sporatic luck.
I keep losing the WIFI connection after I stop using the phone. If I close the screen of the phone and I came back after a couple of minutes, I see I am not connected anymore to the network.
Sometimes, the phones reconnects after a couple of seconds and sometimes not even after 10 minutes; it's only saying "connecting".
This an odd behaviour, because the previous phones that I've had didn't display this behaviour, of disconecting when I closed the screen.
It's even odder because I flashed a couple of ROMs and the problem doesn't go away.
Any solutions?
P.S. I hope you undertand what've said.
The WiFi automatically turns off when the screen turns off.
Just go the WiFi settings, press the menu button and go in "advanced".
Then change "Wifi Sleep Policy".
But I don't know why it stays on "Connecting". This only happens to me when the signal is bad or the network makes you use a proxy like with WiFi hotspots.

I didn't have this problem at the previous phones becaue that option was always to not turn off the wifi when phone goes to sleep.
Thank you Chris.
Hi all,
I'm on a stock AT&T htc one and lately I have been experiencing an issue where I notice that the phone is not connected to wifi and when I go into the settings and click on Wi-Fi, the screen just turns to black and hangs.
I can still hit the home button and go back and everything works, and if I restart the phone I can go into the wifi settings but sure enough, later in the day, it will happen again.
Has anyone else experienced that?
Any ideas on how to solve it?
Thanks!
My phone (nexus 6, stock image lrx22c) screen is off. I move to another place for which I have saved wifi. The phone does not reconnect to the new wifi while it is in sleep. This causes me to miss voip calls and hangout messages. As soon as I turn on the screen using the power button it reconnects to the new wifi.
Has anybody else seen similar behavior.
