So ever since I've gotten my Nexus One I've been noticing it drops out of a WiFi way too often. It does it both at home and at work on Wireless routers using the latest firmware. I've set the sleep policy to never go to sleep but most of the times I wake my phone up, I'll find it on 3G instead of the full strength WiFi it should be on. On 2.1 when I'd go into WiFi settings it would show the connection and say something along the lines of "Connection unsuccessful, tap to try again" and on 2.2 it just says "Disabled, Secured by blah blah blah". If I retry, it ALWAYS connects and WiFi will stay active for a short period of time before falling back to 3G.
Is there some way I can tell Android to retry the WiFi connection if it fails instead of just giving up? I've been looking through the WiFi API's on the Android Developer site and I'm this close to writing an application that will attempt to mitigate this issue for me.
If I'm within range of one of my pre configured networks, I want the phone to try it's hardest to stay on WiFi. If it loses connection, retry. It it can't get it after 5 retries, wait five minutes and try it again, don't just give up and mark the connection as disabled.
I've read tons of threads about people with WiFi issues and people always say "it's the router, it's the channel, etc, etc" but my WiFi works perfectly fine as long as there is a human to reconnect it if it drops.
Anyone else in the same boat as me?
ok so apparently I'm the only one with an N1 and a WiFi issue.......
I have the same exact issues.
I have the same issue as well and if it stays on I have to turn wifi off and back on so it will connect properly

same issue here. i had been looking for an app that would force the connectivity, but the market doesn't seem to have it. just a bunch of crappy wifi on/off switcher management apps. i'm surprised that no one has hacked this function or built an app for it.
It's certainly a very annoying problem. Mine will go to known good wifi networks, at work, at home and at other locations where my other devices work flawlessly. I have a coworker with the exact same firmware (we updated using the same file) on a nexus one that has never seen this problem, which I find odd, but I'm fairly new to Android. It looks like a software or driver issue to me, but as I said, I'm new to Android.
My device shows the known networks as "Disabled", but I can connect manually.
Looks like it's worth me coding up an App to fix this then.
what kernel are you using? i used to have that problem but that has gone away with newer kernels. unfortunately a new problem has arisen where after being in standby for a while, wifi shows as connected but doesn't have an outside ip. wondering if its my rogers modem or not.

I've never tried a new kernel.. Is this something I should look into?
I'm running the same kernel.

Personally I wouldn't do any work towards writing an app to fix this since it looks to me to be an OS or driver issue that should be resolved in a future release (hopefully in very short order).
An app would really just be a band-aid, but I'm the lazy type and I can deal with using my cell ular data when I don't feel like reconnecting my wifi.
Full disclosure: I'm a crummy programmer and it takes me forever to write stuff so I'm usually less inclined to do it.

I'd rather take the time to fix it then wait for an update that may never arrive. Always fun digging into the API anyways
That's cool. I still find it a bit troubling, though, that some devices see it and some don't, using the same firmware, on the same wireless networks.
I guess it could be a board rev. difference or an app conflict or something. ::shrugs::
I have a similar problem. I use APNdroid to keep cellular data off and use wifi, but I continually have to reconnect wifi no matter what if I am not actively using it. Defeats the purpose of push email.
I downloaded APNdroid after checking data usage and finding that with wifi on there was still significant 3G leakage. Especially confusing with wifi set to never sleep and plugged in overnight.
On the plus side, APNdroid has netted me a lot more battery life, I can almost get two days and one night. I almost never use my spare battery anymore.
Just as an additional data point, I am having the exact same issue with 2.2 FRF83 (I had been on FRF50).
It looks to me like it is simply scanning all of the time and never associating with a known network. I'm not sure why it flags them as "Disabled", however.
Have you guys tried to set the "wi-fi sleep policy" to "never"
if not, try this:
Wifi settings->menu->advanced->wifi sleep policy->Never

Yeah, it doesn't help, that was one of the first things I tried. Any time I leave and come back, the networks show as "Disabled". It's a frustrating issue in that it isn't consistant. It's 80% fail, 20% work.
I had my g1 for a year now and just now got my n1. I havent rooted it b/c of this bug. At first i couldnt listen online radio b/c as soon the display went out it would buffer the whole time. I played with the wifi router and the n1 wifi settings an managed to fix it somehow, BUT when i wake up in the morning for some od reason it lost connection and never reconnected again. So i can hear online radio with the display out but after some hours w/o online radio and just in standby it loses wifi connection and never connects again
This issue is not new. There is a thread on the google forum many pages long. Nobody hase even a clue where it could come from. Some1 on the forum said if u call support they will tell its ur routers fault.
The n1 completly ignores the sleep policy settings.
I have rooted two g1s with goldcard and still using one w/o a problem.

Well, I know fore a fact it's not my access point. I am a network engineer and worked on wireless systems for years and debugging these types of problems is something I'm a bit obsessive about. This stinks of a software or driver problem to me. It could potentially be a hardware revision issue since we have a N1 that works perfectly in all scanerios.
I've tested this with the following access points:
Apple Airport Extreme
Apple Airport Express
Meru
Cisco 1231
Cisco 350
Belkin pre-n
Linksys WRT54G stock
Linksys WRT54G dd-wrt (I forget the build number)
Soekris Engineering running pfSense
All exhibit the same behavior, while my control devices (Apple iPhone 3g, Apple Macbook Pro and a MyTouch 3g running Cyanogen 2.1).
I wasn't aware that this was related to rooting, I'd be more than happy to move back to a stock ROM if that solved my problem. Maybe I'll try that today if I get some time.
Could you possibly post a link to the google forum you're referencing?
I'm currently digging through the alogcat output to see if there is anything interesting in there.
This issue is worse since I upgraded to 83. I'm actually holding off to try CM6 when it comes out to see if there is any better performance there. I'm not sure if he uses updated drivers or kernel that may give better wifi performance.
I'm running Cm7 nightly 19 and my wifi is acting funny. Its stays connected but after a while I don't get internet and the only way to solve it is to turn it wifi off and on again.
Did anyone face this? How do you work around it?
Have you tried turning the WIFI sleep policy to never sleep?
WIFI Settings>Advanced>WIFI Sleep Policy>Never
Ya but it didn't help!
i was having issues but builds 17+ have been much much better.
no fix that i'm aware of. you could try switching your security settings on the router.
I have seen this and have determined that it could be related to router type and or brand.
See this post.

I was having connection issues with 802.1x at one point - it would show it was connecting then just drop. I fixed it by replacing the wifi folder in /etc/.
Steps:
download the the wifi folder from dl.dropbox.com/u/3220557/wifi.zip
Unzip and Place it on your SD card.
Using Root Explorer, navigate to /etc/, select "mount R/W' and rename the current 'wifi' file 'wifiOLD or whatever you like.
Next, copy the new 'wifi' folder off your sd card and paste in /etc/.
Reboot the nook.
Hope this helps.

what exactly are you replacing with that new wifi folder? did this help others?
I've had problems with a friends nook and my router (mine, same CM7 build, works fine). I'd recommend trying what mndev12 said first, and if that doesn't work try turning off all encryption/security on your router and see if it still happens. From what I can gather here on the forums is that some people are having problems with different security configs.
This might help.
I had the same issue with my NC using a D-Link DIR-615 wireless router. I solved this issue by turning Wireless N off. I set mine to BG only. Works flawlessly. Hope this helps.
Another suggestion to folks with Wifi and router issues. Make sure your router has current/updated firmware running on it. I know we all get in the habbit of setting them up and just leaving them but the mfgs do in fact push out firmware updates from time to time that can and do make a world of difference in cases like these, specially on older routers

Did you get this issue resolved? If so, I am curious as to how... having similar issues myself. Have played with security settings on router and have tried disabling 'n'... but still seemed to have the connection issues... going to borrow and try a different router altogether tonight or tomorrow.
Good suggestion will2live. I haven't updated mine since I set it up. However I think it is a driver issue with the TI chip we have, not a router issue.

so are youll trying to say that this isnt the issue of cm7?i dont think so...i never had such problems with the stock rom..
Im seeing the same thing - running the encore version and my wifi is all open - drops a bit or takes a while to connect? anyone else?
I loaded the most recent version of CM7 and am having issues with the Nook not finding any WiFi. It worked fine for about 12 hours, but now won't find any access points. I have tried turning off WiFi and back on several times as well as rebooting.
Any ideas on how to get the WiFi to see access points?
Try a clean install? My wifi works pretty well ( I sometimes have to turn off and let it shill for 30 sec) on Phiremod 6.1 (cm7.0.2)

I have had serious wifi headaches myself (with both 7.0.0 and 7.0.2). I have tried each about a dozen times, wiping, different versions of CWM recovery, tried nightlies and always the same. Wifi will connect, I'll start downloading something, and then it will disconnect at some point (may be a minute, may be 3 or 4). Turning wifi on and off brings it back to life but only momentarily. Have no issues with Nookie Froyo or stock. I did try connecting to WEP (other than my usual WPA2) but could only do this by tethering to my phone. It seemed to have fewer disconnects but I did still have issues there. Plus, resorting to tethering or a less secure network is also obviously not really a solution. Really hoping a pattern can be discovered to diagnose this issue because its becoming a deal breaker for me. This issue aside, LOVE the ROM.
Hello mates, this is my first time ever posting on the forums, so feel free to call me a newb
So here's my problem. I have been using [JZO54K]_android_4.1.2_v5_oficial_stock_rom on my samsung I9000 for a while and was quite satisfied with how it was working, but I always had a problem with the camera not focusing properly on the moment when a picture is taken. So I decided it's maybe time to try out CM 10.1 (i usually stay away from CMs because i had problems with it freezing or being slow or rebooting without me doing anything on it) hoping it would be a good and smooth experience. So I followed the thread and the instructions precisely (it's not my first time flashing a rom, by any stretch of the imagination). Everything went well, signed in with my google account, google play started restoring my account to the phone, installing the apps and so on and suddenly it stopped. The wifi icon turned from blue to gray, which i know means that it's not getting a connection. So i reset my router, connected to the secondary router in my home and still a gray icon. All my computers in the home work fine, so it's not an internet connection problem. My data plan is out of mb's, so that's noot gonna be an option for me.
So, then i tried opening the browser on the phone, keeps trying to connect, doesn't get anywhere. So i decided to go back to my original rom and guess what? I have the same exact problem. So i tried flashing and reflashing both for a few times, got tired of it. Tried factory reset from the phone's menu, tried clearing everything, all caches, dalvik cache, nothing worked. So i'm stuck with a phone with no internet connection over wifi.
If anyone else had this problem, please help. Obvious stuff will not help me, as I know my way around the block, not that new to this. But i have already tried all the stuff you would get on a google search (like checking if sync is on or opening youtube and all that other stuff)
Thanks in advance, in the mean time, i will be flashing the stock rom with odin and gradually upgrade back up to probably elite's rom.
I've also added a screenshot with my baseband and all that info

So i have just flashed 2.3.6 using ODIN, having the same problem. Will connect to wifi, all internet applications can't get a connection. (and yes, i did check the date and time, in case someone was wondering)
So i have managed to figure out and solve the problem. it wasn't actually an issue from the phone. i tethered another device and managed to get a connection with wifi. it was an actual issue with the way my routers are set up. i have a main router that broadcasts a certain DHCP which is connected to another router that just acts as a bridge. the main router broadcasts in an ip range of 192.168.0.100 to 192.168.0.199 and the secodary router (which i connect to using my phone) that acts as a bridge, usually, if it were not configured to act as a bridge, it would broadcast in ip addresses ranging from 192.168.1.1 to 192.168.1.199; both routers broadcast a different SSID, btw. so the main idea is that, any device that would get an internet connection in the house should have an ip address in the format of 192.168.0.xxx, and this is where the interesting part comes in.
after flashing and reflashing a few times, i started looking into the settings for the wifi on the phone and noticed that it was picking up an ip address of 192.168.1.66. the possible explanation would be that the main router might have stopped broadcasting the DHCP to the secondary one, and the secodary one decided to give it an ip address, hence the 192.168.1.66. but this still doesn't explain why even after reflashing the phone a few times, it still kept the same ip address, which is not suppose to happen, and even if i tried to connect directly to the main routers' SSID, it would still give an ip address of 192.168.1.66.
anyway, managed to get it working, finally decided to go back to elite's rom (after benchmarking on CM10.1, i noticed i get lower scores than what i would get on elite's). and i wasn't suppose to hard reset the phone, i was suppose to hard reset the routers, change the SSIDs on both which is easier and faster to do that anything on a phone.
I don't think that this would apply to anyone else, i guess it was just a freak accident in my home, but hey, if you ever get problems like the one i had, you might want to look into your routers as well
Hey guys.
I have a problem with my HTC One and its really annoying. For about 3 Weeks or so I have extrem high pings (over 10.000) using WLAN or mobile Data. Sometimes it takes 10-15 seconds or longer to load a mobile site. I've made a speedtest, here is the result:
abload.de/img/2013-09-0415.32.01wqapd.png
As you can see the up- and download is perfect (4,8mb/s download, 0,6mb/s upload). I have no Idea what the problem is. My HTC One is running Android 4.2 (Everything is stock)
Hope you can help me.

have you tried a factory reset?
I'd say try another router (even though it does the same on mobile..) before trying a factory reset.
It could also be that the Speedtest server is giving problems (again, not very likely).

alternative app: https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=ch.cnlab.speedtest&hl=de
I just made a factory reset. First test ran good (Ping 30, Download 4,5mb/s upload 1mb/s). Now, a few minutes later I've got a 10k ping again.
Changing router wouldnt help. I have got the problem for 3 weeks and I am using this router since yesterday. So I guess the Router isnt the problem.
Another Speedtest wouldnt help as well. I have the pingproblem with normal websites or apps too. For example: When I visit "mobile.zeit.de" it takes about 10-20sec to finish loading the site.
You think its possible that some hardware is broken? Are there any apps to check if its a hardware problem?
Hi guys, I'm desparate right now and can't find a solution at all on the internet. It's been like this for 2-3 months and it's getting progressively worse.
I'm going to be real specific in the post.
My phone, when connected to wifi (Verizon fios) has issues using google related applications. When I try to search on google.com, it just sits on a blank screen with the loading bar 20% done, and then gives me a web page error, same for the youtube app, just keeps on loading and loading. I resolved my problems by google searching on my data, and using m.youtube.com rather than the app. Worked well for about 3 weeks, now when I'm connected to the wifi, NOTHING loads, not a single website, just sits there loading and never works. It's so fraustrating, I've reset the phone twice, cleared all kinds of cache within the phone, it's unrooted as well.
I'm so pissed right now, maybe it's an issue with my router/wifi, and not the phone itself. I have verizon fios, using a Actiontec MI424WR router (came with installation)
Says I'm connected to the wifi, excellent connection, getting over 60+ mbps YET IT WONT LOAD A ****ING GOOGLE PAGE OR LOAD A YOUTUBE VIDEO, LET ALONE THE APP ITSELF.
Please help, if you need more info please ask!
We need more info. Can you tell us what your software version number and Android version are!? Are you stock or rooted with a custom ROM!? Any Xposed modules). Please also be clear on what variant of the HTC One you have (Sprint or Verizon or att). If stock it sounds like you just need to do a factory reset.

My phone works on the 4g data (verizon), my high school's wifi, and worked at a sears outlet store too.
I'm certain that my wifi/router are causing this issue but I have no idea why or how.

some of the early DE phone's were picky about router settings but that was a year ago. Does resetting your router (unplug it)
help at all? also you can go into the router settings in the band section and set it to 2.4ghz or 5ghz and turn of auto and see if that helps.
