[FIX] WiFi connectivity issues with phiremod/CM7

This continued 'dropping and reconnecting' to my WPA/2 has been driving me nuts and I found the holy grail for my problem to share.
During the course of troubleshooting I:
1. updated router firmware
2. changed security from wep to wpa to wpa2
3. hard coded the nook mac address to enabled, even though there was no block setup.....
4. YadaYada.... pullin my frickin hair out then the moment of calrity
When I observed 'connected devices to my wireless I noticed that all other devices in da house had typical host names like laptop1, server1 whatever and the host name for the nook when attempting to connect was, and I quote
'android-873iurhfier98734598'
or in other words a dash with a huge random number/letter sequence that showed up as funky 'alien' ascii characters to the router.
So the fix was:
goto settings
goto applications
goto development
goto device hostname
dropdown to edit and backspace(erase) the dash-----bull****
I ended up with a host name of android
went back to wifi settings, forgot and reconnected and BAM
Done deal.
Hope this helps some of you who are having wifi problems.......
I believe this is related to certain wireless routers being unable to translate the characters into something other then gibberish ascii characters it believes its seeing????
whatever I dont care anymore....

didnt fix it for me....

**edit**
spoke too soon. worked for about 5 minutes and then i was back at the same boat

Hmmmm,
I have a belkin N1 wireless router and did update to the latest firmware. I did change several settings during the course of getting my issue resolved as follows:
Radio = 11g
Bandwidth = 20Mhz+40Mhz-auto
QOS = OFF
Authentication = WPA-PSK+WPA2-PSK
Encryption = TKIP+AES
obscure PSK = OFF
hopefully these will help..............

I had issues with cm7.0.2/3 stables and phiremod 6.2, .29 kernels until I stumbled on my fix. However this also works well for me with the 2.6.32, beta 3.1.
FYI, I have been running all of these off SD, my emmc is 1.01 rooted and very stable.

Dude, you are a lifesaver. I've been running into this problem frequently and it's sort of a kiss of death for WiFi when it happens and I have to re-do the whole CM7 SD Card. It's working perfectly now though after I just had a card fixed pretty much perfectly.

Thanks for posting this...
I didn't have any connection-disconnection type WiFi problems, but I went ahead and shortened the name to just android. What it fixed for me is the YouTube on Phiremod 6.3. Previously, any clip would stop with an error message. The progress bar of loading the clip ahead of the video playback was moving slowly at the beginning, but then jumping to the very end, and when the playback was at the "jumping point", it was giving me an error. Now, after this "fix", the bar moves along slowly all the way to the end, and video never stops with an error. Even if the playback catches up with the bar, it just pauses and waits for more to be loaded (mainly for HQ clips, occasionally).
Thanks again for this "unexpected" YouTube fix

FYI, I'm no longer able to get WiFi on the 108 Nightly. I tried this sequence again and haven't had any luck. Looks like a full wipe/install again.
EDIT: Just turned off the "Network Notification" and it's working fine again. Strange, but it keeps me from having to wipe AND my WiFi is working again. I hope that helps someone else.

Well since everyone is posting what worked for them, I figure I might as well too
I started getting this problem yesterday, never had it in the week up till then.
Problem started when I changed did a factory reset on my Belkin router (yes I know Belkin sucks) and changed the security to WEP (I know, I know, WEP sucks too) so that we could connect to XBox Live with an ancient xbox receiver thing (xbox was hardwired in our old apartment, and I'm not buying a new xbox just for freaking built in wifi it should have had in the first place lol).
Enough in the way of background. Suffice to say, I was having the wifi drop issue on my nook, but the xbox, wii, and two laptops were fine.
Last night I tried flashing back to stable CM7, n108, n106, and n85. No go. Also tried the honeycomb port from SDK 11. No go.
I changed the device name in applications -> development to "android" and turned off notifications when there was an available wifi hotspot. Still no go.
Changed about every wifi my POS Belkin had, still didn't work.
I flashed back to stock 1.2 with no root and no CWM, and wifi was still turning on and off.
I did two things since then and one of two things fixed it; not 100% sure which.
1. This morning I downloaded the software for my router from Belkin and reloaded it. Before I could test it, I had to rush off to work.
2. At work I rerooted, reinstalled CWM, and loaded n110, and when I got home IT WORKED!
Seems most likely to me that reloading the router software is what did it, although it may be n110 that did it.
So anyway, for everyone who is as desperate as I was last night, here's two more things to try.

Here was my fix to my issues

I'm not sure if this has been meantioned or not.......I have NO problems when tethering from my phone. Its only when connected to my router. Also I ran a couple of shows from Netflix to see if it would hold a connection from the router. Both shows ran perfect. But as soon as I tried searching on the browser it stopped working. I can then at that point wait it out or disconnect and reconnect. But again it works flawlessly tethering from my tbolt using wireless tether.

I can say this forum helped tremendously. Editing the Nook hostname fixed my WIFI issues. I have a Linksys WRT610N V1 with WPA2-Personal TKIP/ASIP with no issues now. All I did was make this change... Excellent connectivity now.

This is THE most frustrating issue that remains (for me) using the NC . I've tried most everything here at home to get a stable continuous connection, and end up failing.
Took it into work yesterday & sniffed out an open wifi WAP there, showed only one bar, yet it connected & played Netflix,Pandora, etc flawlessly.
well, just now reset my router (TP-Link wr1043N) & upgraded it's FW, and it is now allowing Netflix streaming. Holding breath, fingers crossed, etc

Well at least you know it's a router issue, hopefully you'll have the same experience as me, perfect connectivity ever since the firmware reload here.

agreed. NC is charging now, but hoping that this issue is over for good. Thanks for the idea to look at the FW as a solution

Strange. I was using build 120 with my router with no issues, then after a few days it stopped working and would not reconnect even after a reboot. Forgetting the connection and recreating it didn't work either. However making the connection not use AES worked.

Huge loss of internet connection after ICS update

Hi All,
I'm in the UK and have a US version P7310 wifi only (Samsung refurb bought off ebay)
Up until the ICS update 3 days ago it was in my opinion an awesome piece of kit
however, since the update, my wifi connection (or data transfer) is down at least 70% to what it was on HC 3.2
I am NOT losing the connection to the router, it is the data transfer that is down!
Many times I get the page is not available try later link might be down or if the page does load most of the data many images do not!
Repeated refreshes seem to have no affect! It was super fast before the update!
I have rebooted and still nothing, so I feel it is an issue in the tab rather than any other kit I have at the moment?
I have a wifi laptop and other android device and they perform as before on wifi so it's not the router!
I have also put the tab next to the router and it has made no difference!
I have searched the settings in the tab for anything obvious like load images or choke the bandwidth or whatever
and have turned many things on and off without success! I use the standard browser and the dolphin browser and both
act the same!
The tab has never been routed, it came with HC3.1 then I updated over the air to HC3.2 and then to ICS4.04
I know there is a folder for wifi in the settings and wondered if there was anything I could change to see if it improves anything?
Or has anyone else found their wifi is poor?
The 70% was accurate, not exaggeration, so much so that the tab is unusable for me like this!
I know it is early days for the ICS and the 8.9 world but would REALLY appreciate some advice for things to try please?
Kind regards
PS loved the noob video
Is it possible to go back to 3.2? I I restore factory settings it shall go to 3.1 and I assume 4.04? Would it go to 3.2 first?

Hmm...
Well, the support thread for the official ICS update has no mention of such issues.
Doing a factory reset will only reset the current ICS 4.0.4 to its default settings and will not revert the tablet to Honeycomb 3.1 or 3.2.
To downgrade, you should attempt through Kies, though I am not sure it offers the feature.
What I am certain of is that you can downgrade to 3.2 fairly easily by manually flashing a 3.2 firmware release.
You can download an official Honeycomb 3.2 United Kingdom release for the P7310 HERE
If you have no idea how to flash it through ODIN, please download this .zip archive that holds all the necessary tools. Then refer to THIS thread (where the archive came from) and read the short instructions on using ODIN in the How-to Section, last topic named "Using ODIN 1.85".
If you proceed to downgrade, consider to load the provided .pit file in ODIN 1.85's folder and checking "Repartition" in the program. Clicking Start with the .pit file loaded will wipe all data from your device, including everything that resides on the SD card.
After successfully downgrading to Honeycomb 3.2, you can attempt the ICS upgrade once again, but make sure to execute a factory reset from within Honeycomb's settings (or through recovery mode) on your device, before doing the update.
If the Wi-Fi issues continue within ICS, I am afraid I am short of knowledge to help track down the issue.
Good luck.

Solution?
Hi.
Maybe this will work for you: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1846766

strange
I doubt this is related to the 5ghz issue (that has different symptoms = not being able to connect).
Did you go to ICS using Odin, Kies or OTA?
Have you tried flashing the Stock ICS through Odin?
Have you tried doing a full data wipe? (reset to Stock)?
If you need to keep your app data, then save it with something like Titanium Backup (or make a Nandroid backup so you can return to current state, after experimenting)
What is your router? anything "exotic" about your WLAN settings?

Not different symptoms. Equal symptoms. nakedninja42 was referring to the 5GHz band in his post,
[Guide] Enable Wifi 5GHz Stock ICS: I noticed that I could not connect to 5GHz after updating to stock ICS.

but did not say that he couldn't connect at all. And thus it makes sense to try it. Especially since Bananajet writes
that he doesn't lose connection - only speed (transfer).

Connection
Gentlemen,
thank you for your concise replies! To answer the points I think worth noting!
I downloaded OTA using the tabs own system (the 300mb file) it updated ok!
I did notice that I had to download 3 times as each previous one did fully download but didnt do anything!
On these downloads, I did not have the charger plugged in but had approximately 75+% of battery!
When I did do it the third time with charger plugged in, it updated as you would expect!
Strangely the tab has improved today and I would say 95% of clicks to a website or a refresh have performed as usual!
However (using dolphin browser) with one site open and a new tab for another, it would again not load all the images on the second page
but did NOT give me the page down link like the day before!
I would say it was a bad day for my wifi BUT the other bits of kit I use ALL performed as usual when the tab didnt
so I am still unsure of the problem? I did consider that the other bits of kit (nokia phone, Android Phone and a Laptop)
although NOT actively connecting to anything to download except being on whatsapp might be bullying the tab out
but I tried turning them off and it didnt change anything!
So I think I shall watch what happens and report back and see if anyone else mentions poor transfers?
By this I mean I REMAIN connected to the router and im NOT sure of the actual transfer rates BUT its like
the connection stops half way when the page loads (link down or photos half loaded) and no amount of refresh makes them reload
until such a time (usually 5 mins) that it does! This then does NOT start working normally (fast loading) but usually repeats itself
and doesnt load again! I do feel that any sites with mainly text and mininal graphics did load ok giving the impression
of a burst of power and then giving up hallf way if there was too much to load (my words, not one from a tech manual haha)
So just to say, the tab is working much better but not perfect! Shall report again when have more hours online!
Thank you again for your help
Kind regards
Bananajet

Update
Gentlemen (and any ladies)
after a few weeks using ICS 4 here are my findings! If anyone can help I would be very grateful as right now, the frustration doesnt compare!
I also realise my original title was slightly misleading, please note I NEVER lose connection to the router, it is the data that seems to
be choked! Almost like the tab only allows a bit through at a time and if there is a load to come through (images or streaming television), it chokes it and very little gets through? Interesting though I dont seem to have any issues wastching youtube much!
To recap, p7310 8.9 wifi version which was a refurb from the US direct from Samsung! Im in the UK! Originally came with HC3.1
I downloaded 3.2 straight away and have done nothing to this machine to alter what came out of the box!
I was very very happy with it and 3.2! Of course, as everyone else, was excited to get ICS 4.04
Downloaded ICS OTA with the update on the tab
I have noticed nothing for my type of usage much difference in ICS apart from possibly better battery but battery was ok anyway!
Back to my problem!
Web pages which contain any amount of thumbnails which might change (alter their positon on the page) when requested as a new page or refreshed very rarely load all of the images! It might load about 5-10% of them when the problem exists which is about 75% of the time! Also streaming live television is very poor to connect although when connected, it works perfectly!
On 3.2 even in my garden I could load web pages that were graphic intensive (nothing extreme, just were there might be mulitple thumbnails etc)
they would load as quick as you would want, reloads, new pages, browsing etc all worked perfectly and streaming television too!
I use the stock browser and one called dolphin
On ICS I would say about 75% of the time, any pages as mentioned above do not load all of the images, only probably about 10% of the images would load, the reast would have place marks showing where the other images should go! It would then stop! Any amount of recycle does not improve it until such time (can be a minute, can be 5 minutes)! The other 25% it works basically as it should, quite fast and normal!
One other issue is IF it is working correctly and I try and load a new tab or page in the background then the new page is highly unlikey to load correctly with any images it might want to display! Like "You cant have both mate" haha
On 3.2 any streaming video or television was perfect, fast and never failed! On ICS it has a 80% failure first time and requires usually 3-4 recyles to 'hook it'! Once it is in, it stays in and works well! If I try and change channel or view something else, it reverts to failure again!
I have changed no settings on router, changed nothing about anything! All other items in the house that might use wifi still perform as before!
The change in the quality happend immediately after ICS download.
This issue has left what was a fantastic bit of kit very frustrating to use and almost unusable!
I would really like to go back to 3.2 if I can but am unsure how easy this is although I do understand that was mentioned in an earlier post
I cannot try the 5ghz method as it is not rooted and to be honest, I am in the UK and that issue is regarding the US networks! My ccode says GB and not ALL btw.
To summarise, it seems that any new or data that requires a lot of refreshing rather than drawing from a cache doesnt want to load?
Any advice would be very helpful,
thank you all again.
Bananajet

Perhaps to do with the wifi channel used by router? Try to use channel 1 (or 6 or 11, avoid higher)
Try an app that gives WiFi diagnostics, like WiFi Analyzer.
Alternatively, reflash any other stock HC or ICS Rom through Odin... You might lose data (downloaded apps, settings, ...) along the way though (not sure, depends on exact approach, etc)

Have you try to test the speed connection wit your tab? I try whit speedtest.net in that site you can find the version for mobile, download it and try, just to see if it is a problem related whit your browser or with you wifi drivers
hope it could help
PS. you can find the app in play store too (same name)

My DPI is too High.

Hi, I've recently (very recently) updated my S3 Mini to 4.4.4. The problem was that everything was just too small, so I installed "textdroid DPI" from Store and increased my DPI from 220 to 520. Why 520? I Don't know, probably "miss-clicked", it was supposed to be 320.
The thing is that I can't revert to the normal numbers and now everything is inaccessible, I already tried to re install/redo the whole process but it remains with 520 DPI.
What can I do?

I think you should first go to recovery system. Download your current ROM again. Then go to format > advanced and format system (NOTE! : DO NOT REBOOT YOUR DEVICE!! Otherwise your phone will be without a OS system). Then go to "install" and install your ROM again.
You'll not lose any data like SMS or apps.

Thank you, that worked.
One more question, I don't know if I need to open a new post but, anyway, I have a problem with my Wi-Fi connection/antenna but I can't send it back because the plastic screen has a crack and I would have to pay for a new S3 Mini, literally, just to fix it and get the to see what's wrong with the Wireless.
Anyway, the Wi-Fi is kinda unstable because it can't always connect and when it does, I have to be very close to the router/modem to get full wireless power (3 feet more or less).
Because the device is rooted, maybe I messed up with some settings that I shouldn't. But I don't remember what.

I had the same problem, mate. I just rebooted my Router and the problem was gone maybe your Router cause this issue.

WIFI Stopped working.

I've had my two TP's rooted for years, mainly JC Sullins' builds. My wife's TP stopped connecting to our wireless, and she gave up on it a few years ago. I dusted it off, did a clean install with the TP Toolbox and loaded JC's Cyanogen 12.1-20160109. I also took the opportunity to delete the WEBOS since we never used it anyway. Well, the upgrade to a new operating system didn't fix my wireless problem. It still shows that it's trying to turn the wifi on. It never happens.
I've been searching for days, and still can't find a solution to this dilemma. I'm a firm believer of searching for an answer first, and hate to admit that I can't figure it out.
What do I need to do here?
I also loaded my TP with the same build, and it works like a champ. Mine never had a wifi connection problem.
I'm all ears.

Give this a try, it's a shot in the dark but I had this happen back in CM7 or 9 days.
Power off bothfo the TP's. We'll use your's for the 'known good' device.
Change the channel on your router to a higher number, like maybe 12...
Power cycle the router. (sorry if this screws up any other devices that are attached.)
Power up TP#1 & see if it connects and verify that you can get out on the net.
Then try #2.
if a no-go go then grab this terminal emulator so we can grab some info using the good ol' command line.
I wondering if the Wifi interface is dead but holding out hope that it isn't.
_Dan

Thank you for the reply.
I really can't get to my router right now to try that.
When I turn on her wireless setting, it just says "Turning wifi on...." and never does. I never get to see a list of available networks.
So what is this wifi interface that you speak of? I'll start looking into that.

Better still install this for retrieving syslogs. Someone in another thread recommended it and it is a lot easier to use.
_Dan

I finally got the SysLog installed. Opened it up, and there is a statement that there is - "No root access. Without root access, it's not possible to get system or modem logs, and with some 3.x kernels it also may not be able to get kernel logs."

WiFi calling (UK)

Just read that Three is discontinuing it's WiFi calling app as most phones have this as standard now. I have no reception in my flat so this has been a lifesaver. I have figured out how to activate the volte and WiFi calling toggles but only the volte seems to work (I get an icon when on 4g). Has anyone been able to get this to work on any UK network?

If it doesn't show as 'Provisioned' under the *#*#4636#*#* menu, it's not available. You're using OOS, right? I'm not sure there's any method to force the issue. Maybe a Magisk module?
Or start using Custom ROMs?

I'm using OOS Oreo. I'm trying to remember what I did to get the toggles under sim preferences. Before then I didn't even have the toggles
Is this operator dependent or phone software. No idea how to add a module but should be able to figure that out.

Adding the Toggles to Settings is the easy bit. It doesn't mean a thing as far as getting the functions working though. The ROM, and specifically the telephony parts of it, need to have all the necessary code added. We know that 3 can add the bits needed on phones where they have control over the software updates. Otherwise it's down to the Manufacturer/ROM.
You never know, OOS Pie might have this working natively. You could ask in the Community Beta thread to see if anyone there has any idea. Or wait a while longer until OOS Pie is in Stable channel. (I assume you don't want to try the Community Beta?)

I'm not surprised. I doubt it's high on their list of priorities. Especially as a lot of this stuff is carrier specific. They probably expect the carriers themselves to add the necessary modifications before the units get into the hands of customers, which is what happens most of the time. Except, Oneplus phones are usually bought off contract as nobody here offers them with contracts.

Haven't gotten around rooting and installing it. I have volte in most of the flat so the phone kinds works at home.

Fair enough, thanks for the reply. If I end up getting it working I'll report back

Tried to figure out how to instal lineage on my phone but I got stranded after installing ADB on my laptop. My problem is that most of the guides assumes that you know what you are doing in minute detail and therefore leave out quite a lot of steps. It also seems like you will lose all your data which means you need to back it up and to back it up you need to root the device which whips the data... Installing twrp seems also to wipe your data which is a bummer as you need that to do the backup of your phone.
As you can see I'm damned if I do and damned if I don't

Tried today to install lineage and I cannot say I'm impressed with the various guides I found. The lineage os wiki page omitted various steps such as which entry you needed to edit in the environment variables. There are several to choose from. Nor did it not mention that you need to enable unlocking the bootloader. Had to Google that to figure out how to get around that error
Installing twrp didn't work as it didn't recognise the file. Tried three different workarounds that didn't work. (File extension, dropping the twrp image onto the command window after typing the fastboot flash recovery line and moving the image to the desktop and the ADB folder.
Why do the people who write these guides assume you have extensive knowledge of installing ROMs instead of including all necessary steps. Needless to say, I failed to install lineage.
Rant over.
