I had issues with EVERYROM and with EVERY KERNEL. No matter what I did the wifi would crash here and there. I could browse the internet with little to no issue, but if i went to use the market or watch youtube, i would have TONS of issues. Before changing these settings I couldnt watch youtube without a timeout for more than 10 seconds (sometimes a video might have gone for 30 sec before a timeout). The weird thing was my other two android devices and my two laptops both work PERFECT, no issues, but the nook just HATED my wireless. So i figured it was on the nooks end, as i can tell now, it was not...
Im posting screenshots of my router settings, I understand not everyone is using DD-WRT, but i figure each router firmware has similar settings just in different places.
I posted ALL my settings to show its not an issue with security, as I have mine with NO SSID broadcast, Mac filtering (Can Only Access) and WPA Personal 2 Mixed and the only thing that was stopping it from working were the settings on the advanced page.
Im going to say it was likely
Afterburner
or
Frame burst (Pretty sure this is the settings that specifically caused the issues)
or
CTS Protection Mode
My Wireless Settings
My Wireless Security settings
My mac address filtering
The advanced settings, the ones that matter
Hope this helps anyone that has the same issue. I couldnt get the internet to work reliably on ANY rom, and read a bunch of threads regarding this issue and none of them fixed my problem.
***EDIT***
The above FIXED my issues with WIFI. Just clarifying incase the thread title didn't make sense. I guess I didn't post anywhere in the thread that this is a FIX and not a problem. Thanks!
I'd flash it back to 1.2 stock and see if it still has problems. If it does then return it for a new/different one as it's probably a hardware issue. I have had no wifi problems on multiple cm nightlies w the 6/13 or 6/18 kernels. That said I dont OC past 1000, dont have step 1 lower than 300 and use wpa1 with tkip.
I posted this because the above fixed my issues completely. It works 100% perfect now.
I OC TO 1300 HAHAHAA

This is probably just a particular issue with your routers chipset, you should post exactly which router you have. I am running DD-WRT v24-sp2 on an ASUS RT-N16 and my advanced wireless settings are at the default options and my Nook has Zero issues.
One setting I have seen cause problems is having a mixed authentication mode, I've had greater compatibly choosing by choosing one or the other AES or TKIP...
It's a wrt-54g. I only posted this because I read other threads of issues and figured id post this so some can try.

There are a bunch of different WRT-54G's, which version number? It makes a huge difference http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Linksys_WRT54G_series#Hardware_and_revisions
Maybe we'll find a correlation. My Nook hasn't played nice with about 20% of routers I've tried to connect to, where it tries to connect but gets stuck in a "loop" of scanning/connecting...
It's a wrt-54gl. It's the L model.
I've pretty much narrowed it down to that frame burst setting.
Sent from my NookColor using XDA Premium App
The WRT54GL is a great router... the frame burst option isn't enabled by default and that's for a good reason from what Wikipedia has to say about it:
"However, their use can also result in unbalanced allocation of airtime where there are a mix of clients with and without Frame-Bursting. In such cases, the inter-frame wait periods cause unsupported stations to wait longer for service availability, and to receive less data transfer throughput. Therefore, it is not recommended for more than 2-3 wireless clients to use frame-bursting as the negative effects can adversely affect the throughput for all clients."
I reset the router twice. its a default setting for DD-WRT I'm assuming.

I'll point out that if you have a N router.
disabling WMM makes your router impotent as hell and you'll connect a G speeds.
Yeah, CTS was the only option on Auto, the rest were disabled here.. But what the heck, I'll disable CTS.
I haven't had much trouble on wifi since moving to the .32 kernel anyway.

I am currently experiencing difficulties trying to connect and browse the internet post ICS update.
Before the ICS update had taken place, there were zero wifi connection problems and using/browsing the internet was a breeze,
After the ICS update, I encounter frequent connection drops, where the Wifi is connected, but am unable to actually use the internet. In addition, whenever I am able to connect to the internet and use it, it becomes really laggy and unstable.
Is anyone else encountering similar problems?
EDIT: Problem resolved after a factory reset.

I've had what may be a similar problem crop up only after the ICS update. When browsing in the stock browser, the browser will occasionally lose all connection to the Internet. However, when this happens, other apps can still connect fine. To fix it, I have to completely close the browser using the multitasking button. Closing individual tabs and refreshing doesn't help.

Tried both, didn't work.
I've tried multiple networks which worked fine on my laptop, but failed to work on my TF201.
I second this. I could connect to my router. But there is no internet connection at all.
(Other PC connected to the router or wireless device works just fine.)
This is using the HK Stock version. Which I just bought yesterday and updated last night
*UPDATE*
Even a factory reset won't help!
Had this same thing happen to me twice. First time factory reset fixed it. Second time i just put it down and when i came back after a couple of hours it was fixed. Wish i knew what caused this. I'm keeping titanium backup on my sd card in case i need to factory reset more. Hopefully wont have to.

You are right. Several hours later the wifi suddenly work without any sense.
But the wifi signal is horribly weak even I sit next to the router.
And it's very unstable for the wifi connection.

This hasn't happened on my Prime yet, but both my Nook Color and HTC Thunderbolt will occasionally have similar problems with wifi. I've found that if you go into the Settings app and "forget" every wifi network you've ever connected to (has to be all of them, not just the one you're having trouble with), you can then re-connect and it will work fine. Slightly less of a PITA than a factory reset!

Hey you, I have a OT question to ask you.
How do you update the Nook Color from the tablet itself (like we do on the Prime under configurations)? I'm trying to help my mom who has a Nook Color and still running the old firmware version. I read a new version was released last month.
B&N only shows how to do a manual update from their website, that requires downloading the firmware and linking your tablet with a PC.

I've always used the sideload method, so I can't really tell you anything you couldn't figure out by Googling "nook color force ota update", which I'm sure you've already done. Looks like B&N pushes it out whenever they feel like it.
Now, I know that this rom is still in an early Alpha stage, but as a test I left it on, unplugged with wifi on, not connecte (having that irritating bug where it won't connect to anything), to see how long the battery lasts, and I noticed 2 things.

A. Should the battery be draining this quick, when it was not used for the 24 hours which it lasted on battery? I mean, no apps were running, and it wasn't even connected to wifi, I usually leave wifi on on my phone by an accident and I don't notice it draining the battery that quick...(my only explenation although I dunno if it's right, is that while it's not connected and there are networks that it knows and can connect to in range, that it is constantly TRYING to connect, and thus draining the battery?
B. It says that it was constantly awake, but if you look below, the screen was turned on like, 2 or three times throughout the day?
Any ideas about these? Anyone know a fix for wifi? I tried wifi fixer from the market, but it didn't work (looks like all it does is reset the wifi) (and please don't suggest the changing channel thing on the router, cause I can't do that in college). Also, calendar won't sync with my email, says sync is down, try again later, and in accounts and settings, it doesn't say sync Calendar, it says sync com.android.calendar...? I tried wiping dalvik cache and reinstalled GAPPS V11...but nothing, still won't sync
Thanks guys.

Try Fixing Permissions in CWM. If that doesn't work then wipe everything and reinstall.
what would the permissions fix be for...the calendar?
It should fix the wifi. Did you have android on your TP before ICS? If you did you might of installed it over one another which may lead to problems. Best bet is to backup, wipe everything, and reinstall. I currently have ICS on my TP and its golden! Never had wifi problems and use my Calender daily.
Re: Your battery life. If you check your process list with top from a console or with all options on in system tuner, do you see anything pegging the CPU? I had an odd issue where netd was consuming loads of resources (50-90% constantly on one core) and it was killing the battery like that and making the device slower. I replaced that daemon with the same file from CM7 and stopped having issues.
Check the last few pages of the CM9 thread in the dev section for more details.

Edit, here's my battery life for a similar period with wifi on.
Weird tapatalk bug. Ignore.

I'm pretty sure awake and screen on are different things. I was having some nasty idle issues before I replaced netd though. I don't recall if it was staying awake like that, but one core was pegged constantly at >=50%.

Ever since I started trying the various flavor of OTA ICS, I've noticed one very significant issue. My WiFi connection goes down during the night, and I don't get emails. I use "push" email, so there needs to be a network connection.
Yesterday, I updated to the latest release 4.03.605.2, and ran a test. I set one of my boxes to ping the phone every 5 minutes overnight. It turns out that the phone stopped responding at 12:15 AM, responded for 15 minutes at about 2:55 (when I woke up and checked the phone), stopped responding 15 minutes later, then started responding by itself at 7 AM. I have the screen lock timeout set for 15 minutes, so it appeared that there was some process which would shut down wifi between midnight and 7 AM, if the screen was locked.
That's just plain idiotic. After basic phone functions, email is the most important feature of a smartphone, and HTC made it utterly unreliable!
Quick Google search, and this is apparently a known issue on some HTC phones, although searching on this forum only shows a few mentions of similar wifi issues.
Here's a thread about this issue on the One X.
It appears there's a solution. Here's more info on the problem, and mention that there's a pay app, SmartSync Disabler in the Play Store. I plan to try this tonight to see if it works on the Rezound.
HTC owes me $1.77.
I am assuming that you have played with the advanced wifi settings to keep wifi on during sleep?
settings>wifi then press menu button then advanced
I've also tried playing with the hidden power menu options but it caused my wifi not to turn back whenever I woke up the phone. Pain in the ass having to keep turning it back on all the time.
Yeah, um. Easily corrected.

Post a screen shot of your WiFi advance settings just for the hell of it. All android phones(ones i had) keep WiFi on after the screen is locked/off (Always ON) by default.
If you have already tried this then..... Kernel & kernel Modules control Wifi functions so maybe try going back to gingerbread and checking if the problem persist. If not then ICS don't likey you phone.
For those who can't be bothered to read the linked threads, this issue is related to a new "feature" HTC has added to ICS, called "SmartSync." It only has effect from midnight to 7 AM local time. During that time, this untenable feature will disable data connections. Waking up your phone will cause it to reconnect, but 15 minutes after the screen goes off, it will disconnect again. Some people have reported that it doesn't happen if you have the charger connected.
There's a reason the app I linked to in the OP exists, it's because this issue can't be resolved by changing any of the provided settings. Here's another app which tries to fix it in a different way.
It makes no difference if you have set WiFi to "always on," it still turns it off. If you use push email or messaging (like GTalk), you won't get messages during the night, unless you wake the phone yourself. It's also not just WiFi - if it were, you'd get push emails through 3G/4G, but they simply don't come through.
Here are some more threads:
HTC Incredible wifi sleep.
One S not receiving push email
One X
Evo 4G push notifications don't work
Evo 4G
Apparently, the idiots at HTC believe that no one might be sent important emails from 12-7AM, and that no one works third shift. They broke ICS with this stupid, undocumented, unconfigurable change which turns a decent phone into a piece of crap.
FYI, ViperRez has the option to disable SmartSync. Haven't seen it in any other roms, but to be fair I haven't run any other Sense roms for any length of time.
This is a sense 4 feature supposedly so if it's such a big issue ... Then don't use a sense 4 Rom....
If you get one of the disabler apps working then score one for you.

I can't turn on the wifi. When I toggle the wifi button on, it keeps saying (turning on...) but it toggles back to off all by itself. I can't even see the screen where it list available networks.
Earlier in the morning I can still browse the internet using my wifi at home. While I was watching TV, I grab my phone to check emails and IMs only to discover that I can't connect to my wifi anymore. My laptop and tablet can connect to it though.
Things that I tried:
1. Reset the router
2. Disabled wifi power saving on the phone
3. Re-flashed custom rom (still no good)
4. Re-flashed stock rom (no luck either)
5. Tried several modems and kernels
6. Tried playstore wifi fixer apps
Any help would be appreciated. This is very frustrating for me because I can't use mobile data all the time and I don't have a spare phone for now (to be used for internet, especially for work purposes).
Have you tried reflashing a rom with wipe? Or flashing another rom?
If you have similar issues with other roms and you in fact did full wipe then I'd say that this looks like a hardware problem.

I have seen something similar on a i9100 before - the cause there was a damaged EFS partition - you should check if the info under About device -> Status is still correct (at least the MAC address under WiFi and the IMEI). That being said there are many other possible problems, including a hardware problem with the internal WiFi adapter

I have no idea, take your phone to any repair center and tell them to take a look. I'd say that this is in fact hardware problem, maybe your wi-fi adapter is broken or something like that.
Also if you don't have any warranty then it's the only way to get it fixed I suppose.

Though I'm not sure that would be the culprit as I have it disabled, but don't suffer the problems you're experiencing. So I guess this wasn't really helpful. I apologize.

That is pretty odd.
Been having connection issues since day 1. Changing different settings has worked for periods of time but nothing seems permanent. I have to cycle airplane mode to fix it every time to fix.
Was reading up on other sites and this is wide spread enough to find posts about it all over. Haven't seen anything to pinpoint why it happens or who is effected. Best I've found is that it may have something to do with when the phone switches to 5gUC and then off. But mine switches on and off of that relatively often and it doesn't do it every time. Though it does seem to do it if I'm on Wi-Fi and it's flipping to a good 5G signal to a not good one. So maybe it's when both radios are active.
Oh and I'm on TMobile, Swapped from Sprint sim.
Oh one more theory... I keep seeing messages from Sprint / T-Mobile about switching to the T-Mobile network. But I am currently using a T-Mobile SIN. These aren't generic messages. Messages they're geared directly to specific lines on my account, including . Now I don't know if somehow I could be on a T-Mobile SIM and still on the Sprint network, because that goes against a lot of stuff. Stuff I know regarding how the networks are being operated but I am a little out of the loop so I guess it could just be roaming back and forth or something And they had set something up at the tower so that you don't even see it do such. But anyway, if this weird theory were true, maybe that's the only people that it's affecting.
I'm sure that you set the default APN to Tmobile, right? My coworker was using a sprint sim and after getting another sim from Tmobile, her phone works fine. Of course, she doesn't have a pixel 6 so it could be something with the device. I love my P6 but there are some quirks. About to try this ArmorSuit skin screen protector later today as the hard ones do not register fingerprints.
Yep, unfortunately all apns are set correctly (or as far as I know). I have both the TMobile and TMobile mms apns that auto generated with the activation.
