Wifi issues

So I'm having Wifi Connection issues on my Mile stone. I'm running the Lastest STABLE version from Miui.us. Problem is I can connect but within a min or two of connection it looses connection and says wifi out of range even if Im standing right next to it. If I forget the connection and restart my router it will find it and connect again and do the same thing. I've tried my cousins Samsung Vibrant on my wireless router and he doesn't have any issues so I know its not the router itself. Any Idea's on how to fix this guys?

I've had some success with changing the wifi sleep policy in the advanced tab of the WiFi settings.

Yeah, 1.9.9 is a beta development build, but he's just remarking how stable it really is.

Hi, I have the same problem with WIFI, I cahanged the slep policy, and when I activate Wifi it's starting scanning for nothing, no wifi Network appears and when I can connect, after a whie it's disconnecting itself and doesn't reconnect. Somebody knows the problem?..I'm using MIUI android v1.9.9

I'm not sure, I updated to 1.9.16 and I'm having some issues with mine but not as bad. The weird thing is wifi won't work if the mobile data network is enable, when i turn that off my wifi will connect but if i get even like 10 feet away from the router it starts having connection issues and sometimes when im right next to it. But no where as bad as it was before.

Wifi connecting... saved... obtaining ip address... saved

I'm wondering if anyone running either cm 10 or Pac roms is having issues after a few weeks, of wifi attempting to connect then saying saved and doing that over and over again and not connecting. I know other people not necessarily using this phone have had this issue before but, I can't seem to find any solutions to the problem. I am currently running Pac all in one Rom and it was working great until today but, I have had these issues on cm 10 before and the only thing that seems to fix is to flash a new Rom and I like this one and don't want to re-flash.

I always get this issue on custom ROMs
Sent from my MB886 using xda premium

I've been having this issue as well, again and again.. I've had about a 50/50 success rate with dirty flashing. Anyway, I believe the problem has something to do with the dhcp assigned ip addresses from the router. It's something on the phone side of it because changing dhcp settings,lease times etc., on the router have no effect. When you lose WiFi and it goes into that loop and won't connect, go into WiFi settings, and forget your network. Then select your network again and enable the advanced settings. Change from dhcp to static and then assign yourself a local IP. I have a Linksys router so I entered 192.168.1.8 . so I believe a netgear router would be 192.168.2.?? , the ?? or 8 being whatever is unused on your network. If you haven't already, enter your password and connect. I connected immediately after that. I understand this isn't really a "fix" because won't help you when trying to connect to networks that you can't assign your own IP, like say Starbucks or somewhere.. But hopefully this may point someone who knows more about this stuff in the right direction to actually fix whatever is off in the phone. Drivers maybe? Hope this helps!

Thank you for the explanation I tried a dirty flash and that solves it for about 12 hours. I am getting faster at flashing and restoring everything and am now flashing a new Rom every couple of days so it's not that big of a deal I'll just take it as a sign I should try a new Rom I'm now running the unofficial aokp Rom and I'm liking it next time it happens I'll just try another. Thanks for all the help glad to know the issue isn't because I've done something wrong.

Is there anyway to fix this issue yet?

@TTLayland said exactly what I'd say...static IP. I'll add the the Devs are working on updated WiFi drivers for the kernel. When that's ready hopefully that'll work for ya'll. I haven't had any WiFi issues for the past few weeks. Connected to my House, McD's, and the hospital.
Post the actual make & model of your router and I/we'll see what can be found for it.
Also, try setting the phone to 2.4 Ghz only...my old router was 2.4ghz and the auto setting would randomly kick me. New router broadcasts in both 5ghz and 2.4ghz, I connect to the 5ghz one and use auto without issue.

a lot of the times I have to log into my router and turn the security completely off and then log on with my phone get a connection and then log back into my router turn the security back on and then I'm good to go.
Kinda like the flashing back to ICS to get a GPS lock to work on custom jb ROM's

Ok, I didn't realize Devs were working on it. I have statics set for my home, but being a Network Admin I travel to many different networks and because of the way our network transverses settinig an ip is not an option as the same SSID is used for about 95 different sites. So DHCP is a must.
I just thought it was strange that the Carbon rom I am using was working for about 2 weeks correctly then stopped connecting, sometimes a reboot will get it to connect.
Thanks.

I wish it would work I just gave up on wifi on ahd if using custom rom

WiFi Disconnects & Reconnects after 4.3 update

One phone is on Flex's 4.3 Stock with Goodies. The other is my wife's stock phone with the latest 4.3 update.
After the update, both phones are reconnecting and disconnecting on home WiFi router constantly (every minute) This did not happen before the update. Wireless laptop still connects fine to the router.
Are there phone settings to tinker with regarding this issue? OR do yall think it's a modem issue. It should also be noted that my phone connects just fine to my work's WiFi.
Thanks for any help you can provide.

Update/ Bump
Things I have done to my router thus far, and am still experience constant disconnect / reconnect
Set the router to B only
Set the router to G only
Set the router to N only
Changed the channel of the router
removed WEP/WPA Password
Upgraded firmware in this router
reset router
kicked router
Both phones are still having this issue. Do you any of you folks think it could be some conflict in handing out IP Addresses by the router?

ten etessar
I am having the exact same issue. It was happening on the stock ROM after the 4.3 update. Yesterday I rooted and flashed Stock w Goodies, the problem is still there.

Yup happening to me also but I thought it was just my phone not playing nice with the router. Problem persists even on the 5.5 roms

I was having the same problem..so I turneded off roaming and it still happened somewhat...then I reflashed the separate radio and it's much better

What radio specifically did you flash?
Sent from my Nexus 7 using Tapatalk 4

This has happened to me as well. Changing the radio to the newest one helps a little as does changing to Roam Only or No Roaming. Also, placing the phone onto airplane mode and then connecting to wifi alleviates the problem. Unfortunately the most reliable fix I could find was flashing back to 4.1.2.
My theory is that something about how 4.3 handles connectivity in relation to cell service borks connectivity with all other radios on the phone because when I used my Moga with 4.3 it would constantly disconnect when the radio switched between Sprint and Roaming. But I'm not a developer nor do I understand much except for the basics.

Same issue. Only with certain apps though, like Facebook. Pretty sure it's not me because I'm stock unrooted and all my other devices work fine.

Yep, same here I am also experiencing an issue on Badseed's rom where I get a constant popup every 3 minutes or so asking if I want to allow data access for this trip or for all trips. No matter what I select it keeps coming back, even in settings where I select to allow all types of roaming I am still having this issue.... Any ideas?

I already had the latest 4.3 firmware update (soff) and then a couple weeks later I flashed the latest radio found here
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2406330
I also disabled roaming plus I changed the lte/cdma option under data settings to Automatic
So far so good

Constantly having to reset WIFI - Hardware issue?

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.

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.

[Q] random wifi disconnects

i keep getting random wifi disconnects all the time. it is getting a little old. i was wondering if anyone can help me fix this problem? i have tried to install the rom several times with the same results each time. i have also changed router channels and setting with no change.
anyone have any ideas?

Same here, but it only happens with some networks, like at work. At home, no problems. Running Team Nocturnal 4.4.2, latest radio, and tried other radios as well.
At work, I've got to cycle airplane mode on/off to get things running again, but then WiFi drops out again.
Tried turning off WiFi optimization, tried forcing 2.4ghz only vs auto, and also tried manually adding network by typing in SSID (on a Google forum, someone mentioned this fixed things for them).
No idea what's causing this. Like I said, home network works perfectly fine on 2.4ghz and auto mode.

Try updating firmware http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?p=48649096

Tried that-- did it before I wiped everything to install 4.4.2.

I had this issue too a while back. What seemed to fix it for me was unchecking Wi-Fi optimization in the Wi-Fi advanced settings. Try this, hope it helps.

Thanks for the suggestion. Already tried it.
Don't know why this is happening, and only on some networks.
Works 100% at home. Good enough! But if anyone finds a fix, I'm all ears.

Always disconnecting from any Wi-Fi source in on. At home either on the at&t uverse gateway or Linksys bridge in room. Same scenario. Even at Starbucks or in hotels i get the same issue. Just randomly drops off switches to 3g/4g then reconnects to Wi-Fi. Just like it did right now as I'm trying to post this

Same here. Completely stock. Happens on multiple wi-fi networks. I've tried all of the fixes mentioned in this thread. Extremely annoying. An airplane mode toggle seems to fix things for awhile, but it always comes back.
Any word on the likelihood of this being fixed with the upcoming 4.4 update?

I had this problem too doesnt happen on CM 11 but if i RUU back to stock wifi disconnects all the time. I disabled the NFC and that seem to work for me.
to disable NFC go to settings and under wireless networks there is a more menu. uncheck the last box which is NFC. the icon will also disappear at the top.

still the same. i tried all of those options. still does the random disconnect to mobile data then back to wifi.

This may sound crazy, but try switching network to cdma only, before turning on wifi. Noticed the random disconnects when there was no 4G LTE or it was spotty. Hope this helps Turning off mobile data completely while on wifi should also work

Any chance we're all having issues with the same comcast wireless router/modem?

I'm having issues with 2wire and Linksys. Nothing has seemed to help issue. Besides just staying connected to sprint network.
