WIFI stability issues after UrukDroid 0.7 - Gen8, Gen9, Gen10 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

A70S UrukDroid 0.7
I'm getting intermittent WIFI drops, especially while browsing large web-pages. WIFI shows connected. Need to stop / start WIFI to get connected again. Using WPA2. Did not have this problem on Stock 2.1.8.

Same problem here. Is there any solution?

Same here. Forgive my ignorance but is this kernal related or due to something else?

Forgot to add, when i boot into android (latest firmware) wi-fi is fine, when i boot into urukdroid 0.7 wi-fi drops very soon after boot.
Any ideas as to what is causing this?

I don't have any problems running uruk 0.7 with my wifi. Perhaps soemthing else running is interfering with wifi?

Wifi is stable so long as it doesnt sleep (screen turned off) or deep sleep. Once that happens, no wifi for me.

I think it's just about configuration.

I had this issue also with UD 0.7 and I solved it by downgrading wifi firmware to the old one.
ATM for you /etc/wifi/firmware.bin is a link to the "new" firmware".
Just delete the link and make it pointing to the "old" one.
My wifi is just perfect since I did this

start Terminal Emulator (su)
cd /etc/wifi
rm firmware.bin
ln -s firmware.bin-old firmware.bin

Q&A For GTabCombOver

Does flash player work on this rom?
I think only opera browser
Best HC Yet
I really like this ROM. Couple of items of note that i have seen. My Wifi started to error out. I have tried fixing it, but it still just reports error. I am going to try pershoots kernel. I had issues before with Clems HC kernel. Second I tried inserting a USB disk, and the status bar says USBDisk2 inserted, but it does not appear to be mounted.
Flash

Flash works for me in Opera, but it can be a bit touchy.
What version of opera and flash are you using? I downloaded opera mobile 11.1 because 11.5.3 gives me problems, I'll put in a url, push enter, and whatever I type goes away it tries to load the page and just stops (like I pushed cancel on loading the page). Then I was gonna download flash 10.3 and opera started acting up made the tablet slow and had to reboot.
USB and Wifi

Does turning it off and on fix the wifi?
I'll look into using a usb disk soon.
No just keeps going into an error state. It seems to be after modifying the WPA_Supplicant with Root Explorer, is when it errors. For work, my company uses LEAP and this is the only way i know of to get it to work. I have done it a hundred times with different ROMs. For some reason unless i leave the wpa_supplicant unmodified, it goes into error. I have double checked and re-checked to see i haven't made any mistakes.

That would probably be the reason. GTabComb has a different wpa_supplicant from most ROMs, so it might not be compatible with the modification you are using. Can you give me more details on what you are doing to modify it?
Sure. Basically I was adding the network, from the Settings applet to use 802.x. I would then modify the supplication to look like the following with Root Explorer:
Network={
ssid=”<networkname>”
scan_ssid=1
key_mgmt=IEEE8021X
auth_alg=LEAP
eap=PEAP
identity=”<domain>\<username>”
password=”<password>”
phase2=”auth=MSCHAPV2”
}
Only after i modified it did it error. Before i modified, the entry was still there, but in the default form which didn't work.
Let me know if there is anything i could test for you. This is the only thing holding me back from finally being happy with an HC ROM.

Is that the entirety of your wpa_supplicant.conf file or only a fragment? Because, there are other parameters missing, and it says "Network=..." instead of "network=...". Not sure if case matters in the wpa_supplicant.conf file, but, it is something to check.
A detailed debug output would help in troubleshooting your problem. Get it by doing this in CWM:
Code:
$ [B]adb remount[/B]
$ [B]adb shell mv /system/bin/wpa_supplicant /system/bin/wpa_supplicant.bin[/B]
$ [B]adb push wpa_supplicant /system/bin/wpa_supplicant[/B]
$ [B]adb shell chown root.system /system/bin/wpa_supplicant[/B]
$ [B]adb shell chmod 755 /system/bin/wpa_supplicant[/B]
Use this shell script as the wpa_supplicant to push:
Code:
#!/system/bin/sh
exec /system/bin/wpa_supplicant.bin -ddd "[email protected]"
Collect the logs like this:
1. Power off gTab.
2. Connect USB cable.
3. Run "adb logcat -v time > logcat.txt" in a CMD.exe window.
4. Power on gTab.
5. Kill the adb logcat or shutdown tablet after WiFi has errored out.
This will collect all the logs right from the beginning.
That was just the section I edited. I don't have my cable with me so i can't run ADB right now. I did just do the same thing on Flashback and it worked, but I prefer to run GtabCombOver.
heapsize
What app can I use to change the heapsize? Also, dumb question.... What app should I use to adjust the overclocking?

awesome, thank you! I'll give that a shot. On the dev page someone there said switching those up a little was helping with overall performance so I'll give it a shot and let you guys know. Thanks again.

Actually, I'm having the same problem, and I haven't made any changes to wpa_supplicant.
The only way to get WiFi functioning again is to reboot the device. I can't turn off WiFi, because it just keeps saying "Error." I even tried going into airplane mode, but it made no difference.
In my case, the problem seems to be related to the fact that I've changed the setting for the wifi disconnect policy to "Never when plugged in." I don't remember having this problem prior to making that change.
I've changed it back to "Never" and will report on whether the problem persists.

Very unlikely.
Will need to look at logs to determine the actual cause of your problem. See post #12. Also get the kernel messages using:
Code:
C:\> [B]adb shell dmesg > dmesg.txt[/B]

Do a basic check. Look at the wpa_supplicant.conf file and see if it looks OK. As a minimum, for home networks, check that the ssid= and psk= values are correct:
Code:
C:\> [B]adb shell cat /data/misc/wifi/wpa_supplicant.conf[/B]
Again, will need to look at logs to find out what's wrong.

I haven't had time to do as you've requested. However, restoring the setting to the "default" has alleviated the problem. The device appears to be turning off WiFi after a period of time, since it's often had to reconnect after I turn the screen back on.
I'll get to the logs when I'm at my computer and have the time to wait for the wifi error.

[Q] Galaxy Tab 10.1, CM9 and WNDR3700v3 Issues

I have a Netgear WNDR3700v3 as my main router at my apartment. With it, I connect my Galaxy Nexus as well as my Galaxy Tab 10.1 to the Internet. I've been using CyanogenMod for a few years. So I was really excited when my SGT10.1 got on the CM9 train. When the nightlies started in April, everything was fine. But since May, I've been having horrible trouble with my SGT10.1: I haven't been able to connect to the router. When I use a build from mid-April, everything works. When I use any builds from May I can't connect at all. I CAN connect to my SGN as a hotspot. I just can't connect to my router.
Here is the list of what I've tried:
- Changed router to use WPA (and not WPA2)
- Enabled SSID broadcast on the router
- Switched channels on the router
- Turned the 5GHz radio off (as the device has both a 2.4GHz and a 5GHz radio)
- I've tried Pershoots builds and kernels with no luck.
- I've tried both static and dynamic IP addresses for the SGT10.1
I can still work if I stay on the April builds - but I really do want to keep current on CM9. Any other ideas or thoughts?
if your tab p7500 then try this. search in xda how to use it

I have a P7510. And the issue does not appear to be related to WiFi and country codes. I am able to connect to other WiFi access points (like my hotspot). I just can't connect to the WNDR3700.
is your router on a channel greater than 11?

The distinction between "questions" and issues is certainly murky. This is an issue with recent changes in CM9. It worked in April builds and then didn't work in May builds. Can it be phrased as a question? Well, if you follow "Jeopardy" then anything can be phrased as a question. Are you suggesting that I cross-post this?
select 5GHZ from advanced settings, and you should be able to see it and connect (a current bug that needs to be investigated, if you cant see 5GHZ when on auto). make sure your AP/router is on the latest firmware.
this is what you do:
make sure your AP/router is on latest firmware
flash 0514 from droidbasement
while in recovery after flash, clear out /data/misc/wifi/* folder like so:
adb shell mount /data (after you flash this willl be mounted, so no need to mount it)
adb shell rm -r /data/misc/wifi/*
now reboot.
once in, select advanced in wifi settings, select 5GHZ, select your AP manually, and you should be good to go.
april and may builds are completly different in wifi versions. this was required to get wifi 99% stable for the masses. things will get better once new firmware is released from samsung to be used (currently stock firmware from AOSP is being used).
i myself use an e4200 (dual band) with dd-wrt currently. no issue at all with 5GHZ (except for the aforementioned bug in wifi settings).

my advice is to set this up in stages so you can troubleshoot.
leave the 5GHZ (N only; use auto 20MHZ) open, then try to connect to it. after doing so, then implement security if you like (WPA2), then reauth to it on the tab.
ive found 136 and below channels (this is upper) to work ok, but your mileage may vary. auto should be ok to use (this is what i use currently).

Thanks for the hints. I've tried the recommended WiFi settings for the router, the recommended build (and kernel) as well as erasing the /data/misc/wifi directory. I even wiped /data altogether. Yet I still can't connect to the WNDR3700v3. I can connect to my SGN CM9 phone (as a hotspots). Obviously its a problem with the new WiFi drivers and the router/build.
The tab sees the network. It even determines whether it is protected or not. But even when open, it doesn't seem to connect - or it can't get an IP address.
BTW, where do I set 20MHz? I can't find this in CM9 WiFi settings or Advanced.
Well, I solved the problem by factory resetting the router. All I can figure is that my previous config exposed a bug in the router or CM9. The config that failed used a different base subnet. When I revert to default 192.168.1.0/24, things began to work.

[Q] CM9 i9300 advice

Hello helpful people. I'd like to start by saying I've been rooting and playing with roms for a few years now (all HTCs) and although I've never posted a question before, all your generosity toward other folks with problems has always saved my bacon also. So thanks. However my girlfriend switched from HTC to a GS3 i9300 and have had... challenges... getting CM9 or CM10 nightlies to work 100%. All have been sorted now bar just one niggling problem. The Wifi.
When trying to connect to wifi it will see all APs, let you type in the password but will not finish connecting. The status says Saved but will not actually connect. Using stock or ARHD this is not a problem. Now my research got me to a stage where I can manually initialise the wifi by typing the following in to the terminal (or through adb):
echo murata > /data/.cid.info
chown system /data/.cid.info
chgrp wifi /data/.cid.info
chmod 0660 /data/.cid.info
Restarting the wifi afterwards fixes the problem until the phone is rebooted. I don't really understand what this means or what it does and the fellow who posted this fix simply put that, with no explanation or followup.
Now I know everyone's feelings on doing the research before asking the collective and I feel I've now reached a dead end in my search. So all I'm asking is if someone can at least point me in the right direction of what to look into? Why this could be happening and where to go from here. Of course if someone does know about a permanent fix I'd be grateful to hear it!
Thanks in advance. Thanks for reading.

this has nothing to do with this thread!
does someone find a permanent fiix of it ?
what does "murata" means? why is this file for? Having the same issue trying to port cm10 to i9070
The fix works for me!
How to I make it permanent?
why are you using CM9?
I am using 9.1.0 and except the wifi problem there is nothing wrong with it.
Are you trying to say that there will be no more development to 9.1.0 and I should proably upgrade to 10.x anyway ?
I wouldn't use anything lower than 10.1 if you have an i9300 with sds effected internal memory. You should check your memory chip. Read my "important - sds are you affected" thread. Its stuck at the top of the s3 general section

This means that I got the bad chip.... but the memory isn't yet affected/corrupted so if I apply the kernel fix....I will my memory be ok in the future?
I still have to read it again to fully understand it.

It only seems that way.
I've updated to the latest Cm nightly 10.1-20130511-Nighly-i9300 that should contain the fix being above the recommended CM 10.1 Nightly 20130109 (i9300 AOSP)
Hope it will be ok and thank you very much for the early warning.

[Q][SGP311]GPS issues with CM10.1

I did install Cyanogen Mod 10.1 from the link in the "Free Xperia" thread (stable pollux_windy) today. It actually was an update from a nightly version from some days ago. It works pretty well except the gps, which doesn't work at all. I've done some googeling, but I didn't find anyone with similar problems. GPS worked fine for me with the stock rom, so i guess the chip is working. If i use a GPS tester, it shows that 0 satellites are available. I've not switched back to stock to try if it still works, because I had hoped that i could save all the time.
The positioning system works from time to time, but I guess it is only Wifi positioning. If i deactivate the Wifi positioning, it can't get any gps fix.
What i tried so far:
Stop/Reboot/Restart GPS
Wipe Cache and Dalvik Cache
Reboot again and again and again
Comparing the GPS.conf to the one from the stock rom (they are identical)
This is the first time I tried installing a custom rom, so there is a high chance, I did something wrong, but i would really appreciate if someone told me what it was. And please remember, that i'm quite new to the whole custom rom scene.
Not getting any answers at least tells me the problem is not that simple and I am not too stupid.
I thought till now at least anyone would have asked for details or anything.
Please anyone help! I desperately need the GPS!

Does this affect all sgp311 or does it work for anyone?
Is sgp 312 or 321 affected, too?
I'm in the same boat and after researching the XDA forums for a while it seems to me that GPS is not working in any of the current custom ROM's for our device. If GPS is important for you you would have to stick to the Stock ROM and wait a little bit more until the developers fix it.
For reference:
---------------------------------
SGP311 - Wifi-only Version (16GB) => CyanogenMod 10.1 (pollux_windy) = No GPS
SGP312 - Wifi-only Version (32GB) => CyanogenMod 10.1 (pollux_windy) = No GPS
SGP321 - LTE Version => CyanogenMod 10.1 (pollux) = GPS is working
---------------------------------
Tip: Some very resourceful user suggested a neat workaround where you could use the GPS from a mobile phone in the tablet. I didn't try it yet but it seems to be a good idea:

[Q] Problems with TweakDrypT™ v4.3

So I have 2 TM-210R "Galaxy Tab 3 8Mb" tablets that I installed KidsRom on them but were acting a little slow, so installed Blackhawk kernel, and then also tried to install TweakDrypt.. I noticed right away that chown function used by TDT is not working properly as it attempting to do a "chown -f 644" and that is not supported in 4.1.2, since I am a newbie I can't post on that sub thread in developers for TDT. The strange thing is that TDT worked on 1 tablet but not the other, I believe one tablet has the new bootloader and the other doesn't but besides that and some of the games loaded they should be pretty much the same, however when I installed TDT on one tablet Wifi refused to start, and would not come back until I backed out TDT, and all its mods. And after I rebooted Wifi Started but under "about tablet" it shows "Unavailable" for the IP address but the device is still connecting to the internet and play store and etc. I believe that due to the chown syntax being wrong some permissions are incorrect and hoping maybe someone has a permissions santizer script to set all permissions properly for 4.1.2?
