N7000 Wi-Fi Connection Issues - Galaxy Note GT-N7000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Hi everyone. I have an N7000, on stock 4.1.2. I've had the phone for several months now, and a few days ago rooted it using Philz-CWM6 method. I got root successfully, and had no real issues.
Last night, the battery drained fully, and the phone shut down. This morning I charged it up, and immediately noticed issues with the wi-fi. What happens specifically is when the phone first boots up, wi-fi works fine, I can browse the net, use any services that rely on network access, everything. After a short period of time, around 5 minutes at the most, I'm no longer able to access the internet, though the device is still connected to my home network, still has an IP, and can be pinged from another computer connected to the same network. If I turn my wi-fi off and then back on, it works about 50% of the time, but even then, only for a minute or two before it drops again.
I'm not too sure what the issue could be, it's not solely a DNS issue, as apps which don't rely on DNS, such as IRC don't work either. I've tried assigning the phone a static IP from the router, confirmed that there's no power saving options enabled for wi-fi on the phone, and rebooted both the phone and router several times with no luck.
Would anyone have any ideas where I could go from this point?

Went ahead and used Odin to restore back to the stock firmware, got rid of the root, cwm, and the yellow triangle in the process. Set it up as a completely fresh device, and the issue still persists. Tried it on both my home network and a public hotspot, and both produce the same results. After several minutes of use I'm no longer able to access the internet, but all the settings show me as still connected to the network, however when I try to ping the device from another computer on the network, it times out.
Really at a loss for what to do at this point. Would anyone have any ideas?

WiFi fails to reconnect

I have a Tilt with the stock AT&T ROM and HardSPL. I keep the HSDPA data on all the time and connect to my wireless access point while at home.
I understand and am fine with wifi disconnecting in sleep mode - email still checks using HSDPA. What normally happens is when I power the Tilt back from sleep the WiFi connects back to my access point.
I've noticed more than a few times however that coming out of sleep WiFi doesn't even attempt to reconnect to the access point. It is on in Comm Manager and appears to be associated with my AP, but checking the IP online shows an AT&T IP addr, not my CATV provider.
The only way to get back on WiFi is to shut off the phone (or reset). I don't want to keep WiFi on while in standby, I just want it to reconnect when it should.
Has anyone seen this behaviour?
Cheers,
Todd
Wifi access point problem
I had a problem where suddenly after months of use with my home wifi router, it suddenly would not connect with the router anymore. Would show that it was trying to connect, and then would suddenly not connect and try another router on the list.
I tried reseting and everything. Tried re-entering the password for my router as I thought that was the problem. finally the only fix i found to work was to actually delete the access point from the phone... then reset and then let it find it all over again from scratch. And miraculously that time it worked.
I know this is not exactly your problem, but hope it helps.
I will try that and see what happens. It seems whatever sub-routine that turns the wifi on isn't running at times and doesn't even attempt to search.

Debugging phone connectivity

Hi guys,
I'm still working on figuring out the connectivity issues of my O2X. My problem has been that my data connectivity intermittently drops out, and fails to establish one and move out of WiFi range.
I have completely reset my phone to stock with the latest updates available in Norway. This is baseband 622, and version number 10c. The problem I am consistently having is that whenever I have stayed on one connection type (WiFi or 3G/edge) for any length of time and then switch, the phone fails to establish a connection through the other service. This means that whenever I have been home connected to my WiFi for awhile and move out, mobile data is not established. Similarly, when I get home, it does not automatically connect to my home WiFi network. In both cases the solution is to turn on and off WiFi mobile data (sometimes several times) to re-establish the connection.
If I quickly moved in and out a range of my WiFi, the switches between the two connections without any problems.
This is with everything stock. Is there any point in trying the other basebands? I have tried a few of them already, but without consistently good results.
The alternative solution is to send it in for repair, but they will only tested, figure out that they cannot locate the problem because they do not have the funds stay with the same connection long enough, flash the phone with the latest firmware, and send it back. After repeat this three times, I'm entitled to a refund or a new device, but it means that I will basically be without my phone for around six weeks.
Any and all solutions are greatly appreciated.
Edit: I guess a possible solution is just to use Tasker or something similar to reset mymobile data connection when I leave WiFi, and regularly reset WiFi when on mobile data.
I believe I have the same problem.
The 3G data connection would drop about every 10 minutes.
I got the phone a week ago and it too came with 10c firmware and 0622 baseband.
I believe that this is a hardware problem because I have flashed other firmware + baseband combos and yet this same problem still occurs.
I have sent the phone back for repairs yesterday. I hope that they can fix this problem.
Again, its probably baseband related....
Same for me here

[Q] WiFi Freezing

Last week, I decided to finally unlock, root, and flash a custom ROM onto my Sprint HTC One. I started with the LiquidSmooth 3.0 Beta, which I really like, but encountered some issues with the WiFi connection.
Essentially, my WiFi connection will, at various times, stop working. When this happens, my phone still shows as being connected to the WiFi AP. Sometimes, I can get my data working again by turning WiFi off and then back on. Other times, after turning my WiFi off, it will refuse to connect to anything when I turn WiFi back on. At this point, I have to reboot my phone to get WiFi working again. Once, the WiFi started working again about 3-4 after I had noticed it wasn't working.
The WiFi generally seems to work best at home, where I have just 1 AP the phone connects to, though it will still sometimes freeze. It is much worse at work, where there are multiple APs as you move throughout the building. When the phone was using stock, the WiFi would usually take a minute or so to regain data when moving between different areas of the building, but now it usually just never regains connection. The notification will show that it is connected, but with 0 signal strength.
Looking around, I've seen that some other people have had similar situations. I tried the solution of renaming my device in the WiFi Direct settings. This seemed to make the WiFi work a little better at home, but no different at work. Some other people said they flashed a newer radio, but I seem to have the latest radio on my phone. And this issue is not related purely to LiquidSmooth. I tried out the SlimKat ROM and encountered the same WiFi problems.
Any suggestions would be appreciated.

[Solved] WiFi Connected, but not working

I don't have a password on my WiFi and my Moto X will connect to my WiFi and was working fine yesterday, but today will not load web pages or application data (ie product listings on Amazon, Google Play store apps, etc). I tried forgetting resetting my router and forgetting my WiFi on the phone, but neither helped. I also tried to clear my phone cache via recovery, but when I selected recovery, it booted up seemingly normal with no cell signal and Commserver started. A reboot fixed the Commserver/Cell issue but I still can't get WiFi working right.
I have a desktop, 2 laptops, a Nexus tablet, and an HTC phone in the house, all of which are connected and have no issues accessing the internet.
EDIT: It was an early Omen! Everything else stopped connecting to internet within about 2 hours until the internet died all together. I had to call my ISP to get it fixed and running again. The Moto X must just be that good at predicting my internet going down, lol. Still concerned about the recovery booting to CommServer though...

My note 9 seems to be killing my home wifi network.

I have several different devices connected to my wifi and dont have any issues. When I connect my Note 9 to the network it initially works fine. After being connected for a while my internet seems to go down. My phone shows that I am still connected to the network but says internet may not be available. All the other devices in my home lose internet connection as well. I can't get back on to the internet until I power cycle my router. Sometimes it will happen immediately after connecting my phone and sometimes everything will work for a while before going down. It has never happened when the wifi on my Note 9 is off. It's pretty frustrating and I haven't been able to find solutions. Anyone got any ideas or had a similar experience?

Sometimes, the router's memory becomes full and needs flushing in order to work properly.
If the router needs rebooting often or you find yourself unplugging your modem every few days, you might need to request a new modem from your ISP ( if they provided it ) or purchase a new router.
