[Q] WiFi issue after flashing Decad3nce's 1.1 r1 ROM

Hi all, newbie poster, but been on the forums for about 2 weeks. Thanks for all who have provided such great methods to unlock the full potential of the NC!
I flashed to Decad3nce's 1.1 ROM yesterday from my Autonootered 1.01 setup, and was able to get most issues worked out, but the one thing left that's bugging me is the WiFi. When I initially boot up, it seems the device recognizes my WiFi network, and connects. However, after I resume the NC from sleep, it doesn't reconnect to my access point. In fact, the only way I've been able to get the connection back it to use the stock browser, at which point I'm asked which network to connect to. It says my network is "remembered", but it won't connect automatically, I need to manually connect every time.
Any ideas on why this is happening, and how I can get the NC to automatically connect to my network after resuming from sleep?
Thank you!

Hi there. Wass havingg the same issue you had. Take a look at the instructions for enabling adhoc wifi on Nookdevs.com Wether you want to enable adhoc or not that's up to you. But i followed the directions for Settings Profile Pro from there. Now everytime i turn off my screen and turn it back in. My nook connects right away to my wifi network.
Edit: Mine connects fine. But with my wifes nook. If she is coming off a reboot. She would have to goto settings and connect initially. But after that. Everytime she turns off her screen and turns it back on it reconnects right away.
Good luck.

Anyone hits a clue or is it my network (my laptops iphone and desktop all run fine on my wifi)

I had that problem with 1.01. It occured after I ran the script for swapping the adhoc and infrastructure supplicants without disabling wifi first. The only thing that fixed it for me was a full reset from 1.0.0. Router was a verizon fios router/modem.

I had this problem before and can't test if it still happens but for me it only happens with one wireless network and all the others are fine. Is that the way yours behaves? Since it worked fine with others I didn't really worry about it
You said you can only get it to work by opening the browser - does that mean it doesn't work if you toggle wifi off and on? That was usually how I got it to connect to that one network

Same issue. After sleeping it sees my AP but doesn't connect. Turning wifi off and on recovers it.

Well, it looks like no immediate solution to this other than starting from a factory reset. I restored my backup ROM from CWM that I saved prior to flashing to 1.1.0, and WiFi is working fine again, so I'll stay here on 1.0.1 until I hear of a solution. Plus, XDA app works as expected in 1.0.1 as well. Thanks for any additional help!

I'm having the same issue as others.
Decad3nce wanted some logs so I pasted them into PasteBin:
dmesg - pastebin.com/wsajYF77
logcat - pastebin.com/gPasCEtZ

Thanks for this post. This seems to have solved the problem for me.
Edit: Actually this didn't work I just didn't let it sleep long enough. Once it sleeps for several minutes WiFi requires a reset to reconnect.

Dmesg shows nothing wrong with tiwlan driver.
Logcat shows that the "nookwifimanager" just fails at reconnecting to preconfigured networks
Code:
D/NookWifiManager( 1188): Cannot connect to pre-configured networks
What kind of security do you have on your router? (might be wep bug)
Other than that, you can try using the patched wpa for ad-hoc

I was having an issue where it it would connect to Wi-Fi for a minute and then disconnect. I could turn off wi-fi and repeat the process. I restored to my last CW backup then I used the 1.1_r2 and everything worked perfectly. I'd rollback to the backup you did (if you followed Deced3nce's steps) then use the r2 update. It's made all the difference for me.

I flashed r2 and I'm having the same issue...I have to turn off/on wifi after it goes to sleep in order for it to connect

Did you flash it over top of r1? Or did you start with 1.0.1? And were you using any special kernels prior to the flash?

similar issue - wifi only works after a reboot. after sleep it can see but cannot connect to either adhoc or infrastructure networks. no fix other than to reboot. which is a huge PitA

I actually flashed it over rooted 1.0.0. And I was running the 900 mhz kernel

Teathering

ok so im getting the nook this afternoon (if ups comes through) and ive been thinking one big compromise i made over the galaxy tab was 3g. I would love to use this in places other than the ones with wifi. I have an HTC heroC and the wireless card does not support being a wireless hotspot, so i am forced to use apps like barnacle wifi teather but the speeds are horrible. Now that we have BT working on the nook (thx devs!) could i use PDA net's "Bluetooth teather" option to tie my nook to my phones 3g?

The bluetooth isn't working on the nook. (the hacked roms have it barely working)
The only thing you can do is connect it thru wifi. I've got a Motorola Cliq and can turn my phone into a wifi hot spot that my nook can access.

Actually this is completely incorrect. CM7 roms have it working relatively well. I cann get about 6 feet of distance with it now so if your holding your nook and your phones in your pocket I dont see why it wouldn't work.

HI,
Sounds like some people have a non-user friendly method of getting Bluetooth
tethering running from Nook Color running CM7 to cell phone via bluetooth.
Haven't tried it myself yet. See these threads in developer section:

Hope this helps.

sorry this information is wrong or outdated - i use BT gps and headset with my CM7 based nook color

Not to mention that the absolute last way CyanogenMod should be referred to is "hacked."

I'm still on CM7 19 and bluetooth is working well! However, I have not gotten BT tethering working at all (haven't tried much, bcuz wifi works well for me). Wondering why you get such bad speeds via WiFi tether? I have an OG Droid and I get good speeds.
I suggest trying out Wifi tether first and see how it works.

I'm hoping someone can answer my related question here about my phone.
I currently have the Samsung Moment, and no matter what ROM I use for my NC, I can't get it to see my tethered connection in the Available Networks.
My NC can see my friend's tethered connection on his HTC Touch Pro 2, and Nexus One, so I have a feeling it's got something to do with my phone.
Anyone with experience with the Samsung Moment--do you have any input as to a ROM that might make this work?
Thanks in advance.

Most of the NC ROMS do not support Ad-hoc wifi networks right off the bat. If you're not sure if you have an ad-hoc network or not, try and tether your phone to your computer and you should be able to tell on there. If it is an ad-hoc issue, follow the instructions in this thread http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=868354

I too have a HTC HeroC and both it and my Nook are running CM7, AOSP build for the phone and Phiremods build for the nook. I have no problem using Wireless Tether to use my phone as a hotspot, I do so just about every day at work to brows the internet on lunch, speeds have been fine, can watch Youtube stuff and listen to internet radio just fine.

I use Wifi Tethering for Root Users on my Epic and it works great with my NC.

Cant connect to wifi hotspot

I'm using the stock Tmobile wifi Hotspot app on my phone to have wifi on vacation. I can connect my laptop to it no problem. I'm on it now. But after the first night, my Nook can't find it. It scans but won't connect at all. I'm using CM nightly 142. It had previously been working, but when I put my Nook to sleep so I could sleep, it didn't work the next day. I had been running 7.1rc1 and even tried flashing to the new nightly, thinking maybe it was a problem with the rc1, but I didn't wipe anything. Anyone have any ideas?

CM7 Nightly Thread for Encore NookColor?

Sometimes, I lose my wifi connetion at home and can only access the internet via my wireless broadband connection (USB Stick) which I cannot share using my wifi router. Now I can manually download nightlies and flash 'em on the NookColor just fine, but the problem is, since the NC cannot connect to a wifi internet, I'm unable to view nightlies user reviews in ROM Manager which helps me out a lot to determine whether the nightly I'm downloading has a major bug or something. It would be nice if we have a Nightly Thread (for Encore NookColor) where people can post and give feedback whether the latest nightly is good or not. I downloaded a nightly the other day and now I'm stuck at Airplane Mode. Tried all the things I could think of to turn it off but it just kept turning back on.

There is already a CM thread here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=960542

FWIW I'm running build 240 without any major showstopper bugs (well except for market force closing whenever you use the back button)
As for wifi access when your internet is down, you could use a phone that can do wifi tethering - I use my Droid Pro to get internet access on my nook everywhere.

[Q] Nook HD+ dropping WIFI on CM10.2

Hey guys. I've been poking around but haven't found a decent answer to this issue. I have 2 Nook HD+ running the latest nightly of CM10.2 on EMMC and ever since mid August (when I first went to 10.2 I suppose) I've had an issue of the WIFI data connection dropping. It usually happens after the tablet has been sitting a while. The Nook shows a good WIFI connection, but when I go to do anything I have no internet connection.
Resetting the wifi on the Nook fixes it 100% of the time. It's not a deal breaker, but it's pretty annoying. Is anyone else having this issue? Is there a setting in my router I could tweak to help things? Other devices seem to be ok. I have a NETGEAR WNDR 3700. Thanks!

Same problem here on both an HD and HD plus, CM 10.2 EMMC, on two different routers. No issues on a Nexus 7.

I tried CM10.2 (milestone, not nightly) on my Nook HD and either wasn't able to get a wifi connection, or wasn't able to maintain a wifi connection once connected.

I tried the milestone and the latest nightly yesterday, but I had to go back to 10.1 to have usable wifi. I couldn't download anything without the connection dying about 5% of the way in, and restarting wifi doesn't fix it.
