[Q] Bamf Wifi Issues? - Thunderbolt Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

I'm running my Thunderbolt with Bamf Stripped 1.7 currently, however this has happened to me with every Bamf rom I have loaded - Remix 1.7, Remix 1.6.3, Stripped 1.1, and Stripped 1.7. I do not have this problem when running any of the stock roms - original software, MR1, or the new MR2 leak.
My phone will connect to my wireless router just fine. I am broadcasting an SSID and using WEP security. After about 20 or so minutes with the screen off, when I go to check my phone it will still show it is connected to my wireless network, however it will not transfer any data. I get an error. When I turn off the Wifi and turn it back on, it attempts to connect but can't. I also cannot connect to my wireless network with ANY OTHER DEVICES at that time. Laptops will lose connection, other devices will no longer connect. I have to reboot my router to re-establish the wireless network, and then everything will work again. If I connect to the Wifi again with my phone, after another 15-20 minutes the same thing will happen again.
So here's my question: Does anyone have ANY insight into this? Remember, this only occurs on these roms - not with the stock phone. If I am not running these roms and connecting to the Wifi with my phone I have absolutely no issues with my router in any way.
Hope someone can help me out!

Update:I forfot to mention I was using Imo's 2.5.1 leankernel. I went back to the kernel that came with Bamf and I had no issues while on the stock kernel, but once I went back to 2.5.1 I am experiencing the Wifi problem again. Is this something anyone has heard of with Imo's leankernel?

I'm running BAMF 2.0 #6 and was having an issue with my wifi disabling when the screen was off, and data would not push through of 3G. I installed Advanced Wifi Lock (free version) and it seems to be working so far. I just installed this morning, so we'll see if it keeps it up. It's also supposed to work like Y5, which I was using before, to remember your previous wifi locations and connect when they're in range.

Does the Radio Version effect the Wifi

I'm having problems with my Wifi stop working after a minute or so even though it says it's connected.
I updated my Radio to 1.5 and back to 1.48 a few days ago and now I'm having problems with Wifi. I've done hard reset and factory reset on the router and still have the same problem.
Any ideas?
Thanks
Nope. Try using Wififofum to see if anyone in the area is using the same Wifi channel maybe. Otherwise try going to a wifi hotspot and see if your device can stay connected to that. Or resetting some of the power settings on your device, since if the wifi detects the device as 'off', it disables itself. just a few early morning ideas
thanks for the reply.
My wifi works perfectly fine at home, all my computers laptops stay connected.
The phone connects no problem, and shows it as connected all the time. But after a minute or so where its working normally and I am able to open web pages, all of a sudden pages cannot be loaded and I lose msn connection, but the wifi icon still says I'm connect, so does the wifi manager with excellent signal strength
I've just tried re-installing the original HTC WM6 Rom and tested the wifi with nothing installed on the phone (only sync'ed it) and still get the same problem.
Has anyone experienced this or anything similar?
You've got to consider that your laptop incorporates a much better antenna than your Hermes. So if you've got a low but still stable connection with your laptop your Hermes might not even see it. If you've got a medium connection with your laptop you might have an unstable connection with your Hermes.
The above is based on my own experience.
Even if I sit 2 metres away from my wifi router with full wifi signal strength on the phone the same thing happens.
wish u luck!
have you tried turning the wifi power saving to zero power saving mode, ie best performance, I find that with wifi in power saving modes its very irratic
don't know what I done, but its all working fine again now. Think it might have been the power settings on the phone
Radio 1.54.07
Yes it seems the radio does affet thw wifi and Bluetooth... have problems with both now. so going back to 1.50 it seems to be the most stabale of the new radios
THE RADIO HAS NOTHING TO DO WITH WIFI PERIOD END OF STORY! the Wifi drivers and such are in the Os.nb or ROM file not the radio file!

Ok so they are, changing the Radio is still affecting how they both work.. tried it few with diff roms and 1.54.07 radio with the same results. bluetooth and WiFi act erratic in all cases when 1.54.07 radio is installed yet with 1.50.00 works fine.. no problems

[Q] Wireless issue

I've searched the forums for a similar issue with no luck, if anyone knows of a thread with a matching problem please provide a link.
My problem is that whenever I connect to my home network via wifi, I'm able to connect/disconnect a maximum of 3 times before wifi stops working completely. On the forth try, the phone will detect the network, try to connect and instantly disconnect. The only way I've been able to get wifi working correctly again is by rebooting the router, which also restarts the '3 connection' cycle.
I'm using a Netgear DG834G v2 and currently running Wolfbreak's latest version of CM6.1.3 but I've had the same issue with every other rom, including the official SE firmware, which leads me to believe that it is a router issue and not the phone itself.
Any help/suggestions would be greatly appreciated.
In your phone, go to WiFi settings and press options button, then select "advanced", in wifi suspension politics (or something like that) select NEVER, then download and install Blade Wifi Fix from the market (i don't know what exactly does but it will prevent WiFi disconnections and it really works), and you can try using (optional) this app to connect to WiFi, if the problem still persists i would rather think it's a router issue or something ._.
CescVicious, thanks for your help. I tried both of those apps but my wifi continues to disconnect. I'm leaning towards it being a router issue more than the phone and have posted the problem on the Netgear forums.
Thanks again.

[Q] WiFi on, connected, full strength and not sending anything.

So I have my Fascinate running CM7 with the Glitch Kernel, no OC, just for the stock UV, the problem I have is that I can connect to WiFi, everything seems fine and then a few minutes later everything stops loading, as if there was no connection. turning off WiFi and turning it back on helps about 80% of the time but still an issue, the reason this is so big is that at my house we have no reception at all, Verizon sent us a Network Extender but it simply does not work on any phone and I know for a fact that my Network is fine. (We have twin N600s one routing one access point) Additionally the issue is at the local college as well. Any help? Is there an issue with CM7 or the Glitch kernel?
I am having the exact same problem. For example, market will stick at "Loading..." while on wifi but when I turn wifi off, my 3g connection will load market fine. It's so weird because I have full wifi signal and it is definitely not my router. It didn't start until I flashed the glitch kernel. Has to be something there. Maybe there is a workaround?
Im running glitch v13 and wifi works great. sometimes after a reboot ill have to toggle it off/on...

I had that Market problem and it disappeared when I got a new router. A full reset/wipe of router may have fixed it also. Happened on 2 CM7 phones (Droid2 and Fascinate), but not a stock 2.3 Droid2.
On my CM7 Fascinate, I usually also have to toggle wifi after reboot.

[Q] Liquid 3.2 data and wifi problem

Hey I am having a problem with the data connectivity on my thunderbolt running liquid gingerbread 3.2, whenever my wifi is connected the 3g/4g stays connected and doesn't allow internet from either source to come threw unless i manually turn off the data. so I made tasker toggle them back and forth and that worked for a couple days and then suddenly on about the third day neither data or wifi worked I tried disabling tasker but to no avail. The only things that works is rebooting my phone and that only for a couple days I've been threw this cycle probably 8 times can anyone help?
O and yes I have tried three different radios MR2 MR2.5 and slayers custom radio
I cant get my Wifi to work. Connects to my router but doesnt connect to the internet.

Wifi problems with DD-WRT

Sup internet,
right now i got XWLSN official rom with newest modem XXMS2 and philz kernel on my i9100.
Also i'm using a WDR4300 v1 which runs the newest DD-WRT software (r21153 ftp://dd-wrt.com/others/eko/BrainSlayer-V24-preSP2/2013/).
My problem is that I can use the Wifi with the phone for a while, but after some time the internet access is lost without warning.
The wifi symbol is still there and it's even in the wifi and the router DHCP client list, yet it can't connect to the internet.
I only notice that it's gone once i try to refresh the weather widget or use any other app that needs internet connection. At that point the requests usually just time out.
All my other hardware doesn't have this problem (smart tv, 2x notebook).
I also had a previous firmware (XWLS8 with earlier modem without philz kernel) and a previous DD-WRT build and experienced the problem as well with that setup.
Usually it happens after a couple of hours, everytime in the morning as well of course.
Seems to me like it tries to put wifi into sleep mode, doesn't completely cut the connection, but damages it in some other way.
Did anybody else have this experience? Any ideas on how to solve this problem? Should i try to give the phone a static internal IP perhaps?
yeah. same problem, but with openWRT - for all stock 4.1 roms so far. sometimes after a few minute of deep sleep, sometimes after hours, but like yours mine is always stuck in the morning. it does not matter whether 2.4 or 5ghz is used.
as a "workaround", i completely turned off wifi as my mobile contract has unlimited data.
