Had to use CWM the other day and since then my wifi and hotspots aren't working. Wifi just says Error under it and my MAC address just says unknown. Not sure what happened that would've made this happen..but I've tried looking thru my build.prop files to see if somethings out of the ordinary but I'm no expert with it. Anyone else come across any issues or fixes?

It was a rogue app actually (LauncherPro Icon pack)..caused the screen to go black (with nothng working) and when I tried rebooting got stuck on the boot screen. So I reverted to an old backup and now got no wifi..
Does anyone have a stock build.prop I could review to see if there is something that's changed in mine that is causing issues with my wifi? I see lots of wifi related things in my build.prop but i'm not sure what (if anything) has changed in there that is giving me issues. Any help is appreciated.

I have this issue with wifi. It's that when I'm at home, it won't connect at all to my wifi all I get is obtaining address and eventually unsuccesful, yet occasionally it does work. Then, when using other wifis, turning on wifi does make it connect and show the icon in the notification bar, but still, it won't always work. I try to get into the market but it says no network or something like that. Tried most web browsers, nothing works too. What can I do? My phone is rooted and flashed with bionix fusion rom, evn though this problem sometimes happened even with stock firmware, rooted and not rooted. What can I do? Can't really get a replacement because i bought it from overseas. HELP!!

Some routers are a tad dodgy, so it may not be the phone at all. Since we dont know what type of router or what sort of connection environment your in (how many wifi connections it's handling, etc...) it's hard to say. Still it's easier to replace a $30 router than it is a several hundred $$$ phone.
I said in the post itself that I tried more than one wifi aka router, most of them connected to a laptop and my phone at a certain time. Therefore I doubt the issue is the router. I think it's a bug. Is there no fix for this?
This is kind of a shot in the dark, but have you tried putting the phone in Airplane mode and then restarting the Wi-Fi? I've found that the cell data connection can sometimes interfere with my Wi-Fi.

I would put my money on the router, I have not seen anyone else complain about this who is running bionix. So a bug within bionix, I'm going to say no.
HOWEVER!!!!!! I had the same problem for a while. I have AT&T uverse and there 2WIRE router is total crap... I had the same exact problems as you PLUS it would not connect to my mac mini for more then a few seconds. I hooked up an older router I had laying around and BAM no more issues.
I got the same problem, but my phone is not rooted or flashed. Must be a system/software problem.

Hi,
I ran into this issue a few times and want to know if there anything I can do to solve it. I'm currently on Passion V13r1 with boot 2 kernel and I also did cleanup patch.
My phone service just went out for no reason. I can't call out or any calls can come in. I toggled the plane mode but that didn't help. Once I rebooted it then it come back ok. This has happened 3 times since I'm on V13r1. Anyone else run into this issue? Anything that I can do to solve this, pls advise.
I'm planning to flash V11b5 to see if it help with the speaker issue that I'm also having. Not sure if this will take care this problem too.
Thanks!

It sounds like your nvdata.bin got corrupted. Try and replace your nvdata.bin in your /efs folder with a known good backup.

Thanks for the advise but I went with MIUI for the time being. I still don't understand why it works most of the time if my nvdata.bin got corrupted. This problem happens only 3 times since I'm on Passion V3RC1 but not on V12.
I heard about similar issues on Passion FB page and I think it was a sim card problem. Try to get a replacement

A quick way to check to see if the problem is the phone's nvdata.bin, is to check the phones IMEI in System Settings > About Phone > Status. If the phone shows anything other than your IMEI, i.e. "unknown", then you most likely have a slightly corrupted nvdata.bin. The same thing happened to me a few times on 2.2 and when I first moved over to ICS. I replaced the SIM and was still getting the same errors while testing. Once I replaced the nvdata.bin in the /efs directory with a copy I made when I bought the phone, all the randomly losing network connectivity stopped. The biggest PITA about diagnosing the problem was it truly was happening randomly, with no discernible pattern at all.

Thanks for the info. I just checked and the IMEI has a valid number. I'm not sure if it is my number but it's a number, not unknown. So, it did again 1 time yesterday under MIUI rom.
Just to let you know, when this problem occurs and I tried to call out and it said that I'm on the airplane mode that I need to turn it off. But I check and I'm not on airplane mode. If I try to toggle the airplane mode, it toggled but sometime take a while to see the icon change from airplane mode to a normal service mode but still no service until reboot take place. On other hand, if someone call in, they don't get to the voicemail. The phone will hang up on 1st ring. As I notice, the problem seems to happen during sleep (screen is off)...
Do you think flash to different modem help in this case? I'm using Lithium MUIU rom and it has KB5 modem.
The short of it is, my Wifi crapped out for reasons beyond my experiences thus far.
The long of it. I flashed epinter's 07/25/2012 Nightly and everything seemed to be working nicely, Wifi especially. Then today, out running errands and dropped my Atrix in my Car Dock and attempted to turn on Bluetooth for the first time since flashing, and the device froze then restarted. Once back up, I tried turning Wifi back on, and the device froze again and restarted. Thinking maybe the radio driver went south, I grabbed epinter's 07/27/2012 build (epinter-cm10-20120727_1846-UNOFFICIAL-olympus.zip), and still no luck. Back into Recovery, Wiping everything and also factory resetting then flashing twice over again, boot up, still no wifi, and if it manages to seemingly fire up, the device hangs and restarts.
Within the last 2 hours (Been at this for about 12 hours now.) I grabbed Jokersax's build (Beta 0.1.0), wiped/reset/flash twice as I have before. Now as I take a breath I noticed that the Wifi Icon came up in the Notification bar, but when I go into Settings and Scan, I see none of the Networks around me. I looked under Advanced and noticed that my MAC Address is 'Unavailable' nor am I showing an IP address, even though Wifi is saying 'On'. Verified on my Router, my Phone is not connected to it.
Odd Side note, installed aLogcat just to see if I could catch any errors, and it is not giving me anything, that is, I am not seeing any logs through the app. Most likely an unrelated issue, but still a tad annoying.
Everything else seems in order, including Mobile Data (Able to access Web Pages, Market/Play Store, receive email, etc.). Just Wifi pretty much 'Lights are on, but no one is Home.'. Any suggestions on next steps?
We discussed this issue over in some other threads and conclusion is that it's a hardware malfunction Ur broadcom chip is burned,many people (including me) had that problem.

I need to really work on my searching, tried several variations of 'atrix WiFi cm10' and could not pin down a related thread.
But back on topic, CRAP! What I was hoping was not the case. Thanks for the reply, will continue to dig for those threads and cross fingers the chip really is not fried (doubtful but hey, people can dream right?).
Thank you for the reply.

I can't search the threads right now as i am typing from my phone-search is limited to 20-30 posts... But keywords for ur search should be : "atrix wifi error" or "wifi and bluetooth error on atrix" Several forums have this kinda threads,not just xda unfortunately ... seems like it's very often malfunction on this lovely phone. I couldn't repair my previous atrix so i bought another one.

We're talking fastboot wipe kind of clean install? Going to give that a go as a last attempt, will post results here.
Glimmer of hope tonight, was discussing the problem with a friend, went to turn on WiFi and it actually scanned and connected for about 2 minutes before crapping out. This tells me there maybe life to the chip still. Now to get fastboot to connect and try a wipe and see what happens.

Any news on this front? I am one of the afflicted as well.
I'm having a similar issue. though my BT works just fine, no delays, no errors, no intermittance.
Wifi, I can scan for networks just fine. i click on mine to connect. it shows connecting, noting that when it says connecting the signal shows 1 bar as compared to the full set of wifi bars when scanning, i am also right next to the AP. is tries connceting for about 20 seconds or so. then goes back to saying "saved" under the SSID, other networks showing "disabled" when this happens. i originally noticed this after flashing epinters cm10. i tried flashing 37p, 36p and 30p radios with no difference.
EDIT: also want to note that i HAVE disabled the "avoid poor connections" option. and have tried setting static IP.
I flashed the same and I am unable to get my wifi to work after clean wipe, radio install or anything else that I have tried. Could software have really burned up a wifi radio????

Mine works occasionally so I don't think the radio is dead. The rom just acts like it's not there most of the time and doesn't give a mac address. Sometimes it works though after a reboot. Would flashing a different radio help? My baseband version says N_01.77.37P
I had an IP and a MAC, but no wifi internet.
Using mobile data, I downloaded Set DNS and then enabled wifi, works fine.
Now it's working but mobile data is going very very slow, it took 5min to download Set DNS.
I have a skyrocket but the "no wifi" issue is probably the same - your not getting DNS
I'm going back to CM9 for now.
+1 wifi matter under CM10
Try rebooting the router.
Experienced same issue (unable to connect, showing full bars, dropping to 1 bar when connecting and never being able to complete a connection) rebooting my router has fixed the issue. I'm not technical but it might have to do with the DNS release for addresses .. in any case unplugging my router for a bit and restarting it fixed the issue for me.
I am having a peculiar issue. My Wi-Fi drops out and then reconnects every 30-45 minutes or so. I have the latest version of the ROM, flashed the boot.img in the thread, but it still doesn't fix my issue. It doesn't matter how far I am away from the signal, it just drops out temporarily, and then reconnects. I can't explain it. Other than that, it seems to be working great, but before I rooted and flashed, I never had any issues of any kind with the WiFi.
Also, it may be worth noting that I don't know for sure yet, but it may also turn on the WiFi automatically even though I have it set not to. Sometimes when I am out and about, I'll get a popup saying that WiFi networks were found nearby, do you want to connect etc...
Any help will be appreciated, I love this ROM and can't see myself going back on stock but this is a pretty cumbersome issue...
Re: WiFi Issue On Venom
Have you tried it out on other routers?
And fir the asking to join networks, there is a setting in wifi>advance for that.
Sent from my HTC6435LVW using xda app-developers app
About the only thing that I haven't tried is another router, but the other devices on the network don't seem to be having any issues. Then again, it is an Airport, so...Yeah, I won't fully know until I get a chance to test it elsewhere...
But I know about the advanced setting and have it disabled. That's why I'm wondering it its something in the ROM or something that I did wrong that it keeps trying to come come back. My guess is that it's disconnecting the mobile network and resetting it, just as it is doing on the WiFi...
Update
Just in case someone else runs into this issue, the problem was with an app that I used to change my host name. It would intermittently interrupt my connection trying to do that. I uninstalled it and edited my build.prop file the old fashioned way. The issue didn't have anything to do with Venom, just the fact that I had rooted and tried new things.
Thanks for your help!
This was the app that caused the issue: https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.tiranodroid.change.hostname

Can you please go to the advanced editing options and change the name of your thread and place "Fixed" in there so people can reference it, if need, and what app it was. Thanks.
Really hoping someone can help me out here. My Mate 20 Pro has all of a sudden developed and WiFi connection issue. The signal drops out and within the WiFi settings I get error messages network access denied or no Internet connection.
My phone has been back to Huawei twice for repair and was still getting the same error message so assumed it was the router (all other devices connect okay). New router has been delivered today and I get the same error.
Has anyone else had this problem and does anyone have any ideas to resolve?
I have wiped the partition cache, forgot network, changed WiFi passwords but nothing seems to work.
Likewise having issues with mate 20pro and WiFi dropping and then not able to connect.
I've not looked into why happening as I find reboot phone works although major belly ache when trying to watch, chat or surf.

Only thing that seems to work is reboot and then wait a few hours for problem to return.

Ive been having this the last week or so, thought it might be the dns (adguard) will test and see, but if you guys have issues and are not using an ad blocker then it must be something else... weird.

I use adclear as as blocker..... didn't think this could be causing issue as it has only just started, I've been using adclear before update to emui 10
Was having this the last months and 2 or 3 System uptdates. Sometimes a reboot fixed the wifi, but most of the time not.
Wiping the Cache in recovery menu fixed the wifi Problems on my phone. No Problems since then!
