Hey all - long time lurker, first time poster.
I flashed the latest CM9 nightly 7/14 when it came out and things were working pretty well, except the wi-fi was a little laggy when waking up from sleep. I had it set to turn the wi-fi off when sleeping, and it would take 30-45 seconds for the wi-fi to kick back on. Sometimes it wouldn't kick back on at all, and I'd have to turn the wi-fi off completely and then back on, or just totally reboot. Not a single SOD (sleep of death) though.
Anyway, I saw the new wi-fi drivers posted by jcsullins on 7/21, and tried them out yesterday afternoon to see if that helped the wi-fi lagginess. It did seem to help, but I had 3 SOD's (out of 4 sleeps) in less than 24 hours. So, I flashed back to the 7/14 nightly from before, and it looks like things are back the way they work, no more SOD.
I wanted to report it in the dev thread, but can't yet. Anyone else experiencing this issue with the 7/14 nightly, and/or the wi-fi patch?
Also, just to be clear, I installed the wi-fi patch from recovery... meaning, I downloaded the ZIP from goo.im using GooManager, rebooted into CWM, installed the ZIP from within CWM, and then rebooted again back into CM9.

Using Nookie Froyo 0.6.8 eMMC.
I noticed my Wi-Fi takes a couple minutes or more to connect after the Nook had been sleeping. So I went into the Wi-Fi settings and I see "Wi-Fi Turning off...", then it comes on, then it turns off, and repeats over and over.
Eventually it will connect. Any idea what is causing this? This is a freshly install ROM. I've wiped it and reinstalled it and still have the same problem. And it works fine after a reboot, seems to only be a problem when it's gone to sleep.
I also installed Spare Parts and set the Wi-Fi sleep profile to never (this problem was happening before installing Spare Parts by the way) however that doesn't seem to prevent it from sleeping either.
I get the same thing. I'm assuming its a kernel thing, but I don't know, I'm definitely not a dev. Its happened in all the nightlies I've flashed, though.
yep this is a kernel issue i believe as it was better on the older kernels. i think it has something to do with your security settings.
try changing from wpa/wpa2 to something else perhaps?
i went to cm7 17 and so far it has been flawless. earlier builds were almost as bad though so i'm not sure if it will last.
That started happening on mine too. I just installed the newest kernel, that clean black theme, and nookie froyo. Prob the kernel.
It seems to help me on my nooki froyo 0.6.8 to put it back in standby by hitting volume up and power button at same time, then waking it back up and waiting for wifi to turn on usually within 30 seconds. It does not help and actually seems to make it worse to go into wifi settings to watch its progress.
Known issue with dalingrin's kernel. Go look on in the development forums.
Every other thread I see about a wifi problem kinda describes something different. My wifi messes up coming out of sleep. It will just keep connecting and disconnecting. Is their a fix for this? This is the only reason I left CM7.
This seems to be a common issue. I just turn off wifi before I hit the power button to sleep my nc. When I bring it out of sleep, I just turn wifi back on and it usually connects pretty quickly.
Which build are you using? And have you tried using a newer build?
The same issue with Nookie Froyo.
double post, please delete

I had the same problem with earlier builds of CM7, but switched Wifi sleep policy to never and am running CM7 nightly 19 and it no longer happens (still takes 30 seconds to a minute to reconnect if the nook has been sleeping for a long time). Now I have problems when I first turn the nook/wifi on!
I suggest updating to the newest CM7 and see if it's fixed. It doesn't seem to be specific to any one setup, but actually comes down to the individual nook.
I had the same problem with Froyo.
The problem went away after I swapped the OC kernel with stock one.
Hi! Can you tell me how you flush the stock kernel. I did the stock 1.0.1 via Rom Manager and it will just shutdown as soon as I login. Thanks.
I have the same wifi issue. I'm using Nookie Froyo 0.6.8. Everytime when I start my NC, the wifi turn on and off. Seems it's searching the signal? SOmetime it takes 1 or 2 mins. to reconnect! Originally, I thought that's hardware issue. It seems now this is a common issue for NC?
I read some post here, is to keep the wifi on, even when the NC sleep, but this will drain more battery.
Is there any better solution?
This happens with my rooted eclair NC as well. I'm now 99% sure it's an inherent NC issue. I though it was because I use Juice Defender to manage Wifi, but if manually turning it off can produce the same effect without the twitching wifi signal, then I'll do that instead.
Is there any app or method to make the wifi work better? Or is there any rom that can solve this issue?
I have a NC that has been rooted since August using CM 7.1.0 (not a nightly build). For the last 2 weeks or so it has shut off randomly, usually when it sits for longer than and hour unplugged (but even sometimes when it's plugged in, too). It's not dead because I can turn it back on and still have over 50% battery left. I've edited the file I needed to in order to prevent OTA updates since B&N released the 1.4 firmware. But could that OTA be the cause of my issues?
If you have CM7 on it there are no OTA updates even seeing you. Sounds like the sleep of death. Try turning off wifi when you leave it unattended.
I've actually noticed the same thing too. I'm running CM7.1 and noticed my NC would not wake up sometimes. It could be a few hours or a whole day, but I think it has not gone more than a few days without locking up. I figured it may be related to something I installed recently, but considering the number of things that have been installed and removed over the last few weeks, it's hard to pinpoint...
I have been running nightly encore 177 since September 1st without any problems until yesterday when my NC started going into sleep of death. I have had to do the N-button + power button hold to get it to restart.
The only changes I made before this started happening was to place about 10 app shortcuts onto the home screen.
I am going to update to nightly encore 253 and hopefully it will stop SOD.
You might as well update to the CM7.2 RC0 Mirage build. It incorporated some fixes that came out post-n253, and it looks like that will be it for updates until either ICS hits, or CM7.2 Final comes out.
I do still get the SoD, but not frequently.
I'll have to check out that build of CM. For that very same reason I'm tempted to go back to the stock software. Not sure if it's the right move, but this constant locking up is becoming very annoying.
Hi guys,
I'm pretty new to the forum, but I've been playing with this phone over the last 2 years. I tried everything to fix the sleep of death, but the only solution I found was to use Captivate Keep Alive. That app drained way too much battery in a short period of time so I was close to giving up until all I did was update my phone, problem solved.
I rooted my phone with SuperOneClick, then installed Cyanogenmod 10 (Nightly) with Devil3 Kernel along with the necessary gapps. Then, I downloaded the app SuperSu, installed it. Lastly, I disabled SuperUser and just kept SuperSu working. Interestingly enough, my phone hasn't turned off in three straight days. Not sure how this fixed my almost 2 year problem, but it worked. Hope it helps everyone else!
Just to add: My phone was updated with a new rom everytime a new release came out. Sleep of Death occured about every hour or so, worst SOD case I've ever seen on a captivate. Just sharing how serious my SOD on my phone was. So happy it lasted three days without a shut down!

Hi
So you want to say SuperSu fixed your SOD?
What are the other settings of Devil kernel? Could you please share them
thx!
Yes more info would be nice. Right now I am fighting with my phone SOD about 5-8 times per day. Sucks.
as for me I keep "Captivate Keep Alive" till 70% of battery
then it turns off ..
My battery last about a working day - so it is somehow could be called "fine"...however I would prefer to NOT use wakelock progs....
I'm using Devil kernel too and Lanight ROM.
So please tell us more details: ROM version, kernel version, kernel settings ....etc...
Sorry for late response!
Sorry for the late response guys.
I thought it was the rooting to cm10 and SuperSu that did the trick, but apparently after rooting the phone, I started downloading all the Apps that I wanted to make my phone look cool. As silly as it sounds I installed World Weather app for clock and weather... oddly enough this thing keeps my phone from going to sleep. I realized this because after uninstalling it, going for a different look, I downloaded Rings Digital Weather and my phone started to turn off every 30 minutes again. Let me know if it works for you guys... cuz seriously this was the last thing I would've turned to to fix my phone
I've been running CM12.1 for several months in my N910T without any problems. Most of this time I spent on Temasek's unofficial build v18.6, but recently I've been going with the latest official nightlies. Every time I flash (clean flash of course), everything works fine for a few hours or days. Then, spontaneously my wifi will stop working. It won't turn on at all. When I tap the wifi toggle, the switch flips to the on position then instantly flips back to off.
I thought maybe it was a bug with some Xposed module, so I disabled the Xposed framework and rebooted, but no luck. I don't have any automation apps running that could be acting up. Then I thought it must be a bug in the latest nightlies, so I clean flashed the Temasek build I had run for weeks, but lo and behold...the same bug started within a few hours.
Does anyone have any idea what this might be? Or any ideas about how I can find out?
