GTab running CM v7.0.3 Harmony.
WiFi just stopped working correctly out of nowhere. It'll go from "Scanning...", to "Connecting...", to "Disconnected", in an endless loop without ever actually connecting.
I tried just rebooting, and nothing. Tried even flashing back to stock (two different versions), then to the latest Nightly, then back to v7.0.3, then did a restore (just to get back to where I was), and all of them had the same issue. None of them had the ability to connect, and still with that same looping.
I even tried some program I found called "WeFi". No go with that either.
I've had this tablet since the 19th, working perfectly. On CyanogenMod7 the whole time. No major changes were made to the system.
Does anyone know of a fix or something that could get me back to functional WiFi?
I'd appreciate the help.
Thanks.
I realize this is not the correct section for this thread but id like to say yours is not an isolated issue. It happened to me with Vegan-Gingerbread edition and i flashed all the way back to Belkins 1.0 2638 (nvflash) and its still doing it.
Strangely enough, it works from my home but will NOT work at hotels airports etc (even though my my lap tops and phones etc will connect from those same locations. This has rendered my gtab nearly useless (without wifi its useless) even though i am familiar with nvflash and trying different roms..i have no idea why the wi-fi keeps looping into this "dead" behavior......
Delete...wrong thread. Lol
Strange, just recently I noticed the same thing, but mine tends to drop connection when using wireless tether via my phone. Even though wifi says connected any apps utilizing wifi will not connect. I have to shut off wifi & then turn it back on only to have it drop once more in less than 5 min. I know it's not the phones end because I can wifi tether to my laptop with no problems & I'm able to connect to my home wifi with no problems as well.
I'm running the latest nightly build of CM7 & have been using it since it was pushed out (June 25th I believe). No other ROM updates other than the usual app updates have been installed. This has been going on for about a week now.
No wifi on CM 7
Me too wi fi on the GTAB running CM7 died today. All other computers are connected.
miracle...now working.
Someone wrote me a PM and made a suggestion to delete user. I tried that, and removed my home network from the list. I also did a hard reset on my router.
The next day, it just worked. So who the hell knows. I'm glad in any case.

Has anyone noticed the following ?
a) Turning on / off bluetooth affects the WiFi connection including sometimes disconnecting the WiFi (when BT is being turned off i.e.).
I use BT to connect with the gtab to my samsung and transfer files etc. When o go to disconnect, the wifi connection has also dissapeared.
b) As a side issue, the Market app kept force closing when launching it, when i changed to went to a different location and it connected up with the WiFi connection there. The Market app was active at first location before i left. Haven't had a chance to reproduce and check the exact scenarios yet.
Have stock Froyo (3389) with Enhancement 3.1.4b (Market app).
i suggest going to custom rom.
i had dropping wifi issues and those fc issues but it was due to a poorly made rom brillant corners and since theres no support i gave up on it
other froyo roms like beastly worked great. didnt drop conenctions

Just curious as to where you got stock 3389 from? It wasn't even released as an OTA update as far as I know. if you prefer stock, then 3588 or 4349 are the most used versions. Have you made any other mods yet? CWM, market fix, etc? If not, then using stock recovery, you can flash either of the stock roms. See Goodintentions "Gtablet for dummies" page for links to the images, and instructions on how to flash using stock recovery.
I, too, have the same problem. On my first mod TnT Harmony 1.2 and now with Caulkin's G-Tab 1.1 I have a problem with bluetooth causing interference with wifi. I am using the BlutO keyboard along with "Bluetooth Easy Connect" in order to get it to actually connect. However, on both mod's the effect is the same, as soon as I turn off the bluetooth my wifi stays connected. I really like Caulkin's G-Tab it is amazingly fast and would prefer to stay there but would move to another one if a different mod would solve this problem. Any suggestions?
Oops must have been typing the rdp port too many times that day. Sorry its 3588.

I didnt want to take a chance with any particular complete rom replacement, thats why used the 'enhancement' pack which basically provided the speedup with market and still the std tnt ui.
Followup, yesterday I had to rebuild the 'bricked' gtab which was suffered from fc's just as I started to give demos :-((
So mucho thanks to the viewsonic for dummies site for collecting all the info in such an easy to read format
I did code red procedure and did the bocksize change which I had not had to do first time. Noticed a speed up in the stock (quadrant - 1743) just by doing a wipe and change of blocksize. Then adding enhancement pak took it to 2400.
Happy now. Tab is going to the field in uk, and hopefully will live thru next 3 wks without incidence.
Problem with bluetooth and wifi still exists. Basically turning on bluetooth and connecting will stall the wifi - it looks like it is still connected but open the settings panel and it will update to show 'disconnected' then touching the button will turn off wifi, then touching it again starts it connecting again and then its fine. A pain when you are trying to hookup bluetooth gps and use maps app.

Not sure why only SOME people have wifi issue.
I was using Xron vB1.3 for a while without any wifi issue. Since I update to vB2. Wifi drop off like crazy. Switch back to vB1.3 .. no help.
Today I did a ACMEUninstall and ACMEInstall CM73.5 from flesh. Wifi drop off still the main problem. Tried other wifi network in McDonald. Still the same. Flash it back to Xron vB1.3 ... wifi problem remain the same.
What I will do is ACMEUninstall it again and start with CM7 3.
Is that wifi is control by the config file /etc/wifi
Any recommendation is welcome .... ?
i only just put xron on my touchpad. but i put vb2 on and it wouldnt even connect to wifi at all. just got stuck on obtaining ip address. i uninstalled and reinstalled it with the same result. it wouldnt connect until i put b1 on it
I've tried all the tomorrow from 3.0 to vb2... They are giving me Wi-Fi connection problem..
Log on my router, channel is set to Auto and is using 11. I switch it to 7 and connection work fine. I test it for about an hour and got stable connection. Further testing with channel 1 in great success.
So it may still have trouble when trying to connect public hotspot.

I don't now have the wifi problem.
I did have a looping problem a couple of versions ago, but fixed it by rebooting the router; another fix I've read about is setting the channel # to 4.
But erasing everything and starting fresh is a good idea also.......

The same thing happened to me. I always thought it was the router until it happened to me. My wifi worked perfectly until B2, after that it would boot with wifi but would shut itself off after a little while. The wifi bars would stay blue but it would not connect without going into the wifi settings.
same here...very annoying not sure what to do...tried changing the wifi channel and reseting router, nogo.
I am in the same boat, just loaded android on it for the first time and used vb2. Tried all the fixes I could find, I am not even sure how I go about changing versions (roms) now so I guess I have some reading to do..
I am not running vB2 yet but I have been seeing that it might be a problem with your date and time. Make sure your date and time are correct.

I just went from 1.3 to b2 as well. I was also having no issues, then started having nothing but issues after the update.
I was able to fix mine after re-reading the OP for xron.
I booted back into CWM, cleared cache, wipe data / factory reset. After it booted when I was presented with the clock info I did not select auto (as I did the first time) changed the time zone, then changed the time by one minute. After that point I turned on wifi and connected to my router. Haven't had any wifi issues since.
Also, I did a titanium backup restored of missing apps only, no data. But, I am still having lots of fc issues, like with the xda app, when ever I try to sign in.

YES! wifi works like a charm without any modification
newbie with touchpad, just got it 2 days ago. tried it immediately with CM7 3.5 version wifi issues badly would not connect at all after google account setup.
swith to Xron vB 2.1 dec 14/17 releases connected successfully no drops but only if router channel 5 or less was selected. Flash today Xron vB 2.2 version,
wifi issues a thing of the past for me.Thanks leo....
3 routers at home.
Att uverse, Dlink N, Asus rt-n16 (tomato)
Wifi Channel
Humm ..
More sucessful when using lower channel no. 1-6.
This is the experiment I did....
- Got solid connection on channel 6.
- Manually switch my router to channel 11. Connection still fine and WiFi Manger report changed to 11. Browsing without any problem for a while.
- Reboot the TP. No connection, router not in range. Wait for about 5 mins. (Not doing anything on the TP) It connect ...
- Reboot .. connect is fine ..
Oh .. I'm using Xron vB2.2 at the moment...
This is the second time this has happened to my Prime and I have no idea what could cause it. I found one other topic with a similar problem but no solution.
Anyway, last night, everything was working fine. Today, I get home and it connects to my WiFi just fine with full signal strength but when I go to my browser, YouTube or anything that uses the network, it says there's no connection. I restarted the tablet, hotspot and everything multiple times and it will work for a minute or so before stopping again. I haven't installed any new apps recently or made any changes to anything. Everything else on my WiFi network works perfectly.
The last time this happened, I did a factory reset on the tablet which didn't work at all. But the next day it decided to start working fine again. So we'll see if it decides to come back again, but is there any way to fix this when it does happen? Or preferably, prevent it from happening?
Could be having trouble getting an IP from your router.
Having said that the Prime's ability to maintain a connection is hopeless.
I have a Linksys E4200 which blasts a signal 100 metres across the road which my son can pick up.
I can be sitting in the next room and my Prime loses the signal from the same router.
The signal isn't the issue I don't think, it has full bars and other than these two problems, I've never had an issue with WiFi performance.
It's probably worth noting that the WiFi isn't COMPLETELY dead, once in a while, a webpage will come through. It's just that most of the time it just times out before it ever receives a page. I just did a factory reset again which did nothing to help. It timed out when trying to connect to my Google account...but worked on the second try. The Asus homepage timed out when I opened the browser, made it to Google but searching timed out. I was barely able to download TitaniumBackup from Play...just VERY slowly.
Asus tech support was useless as expected...they basically said to factory reset and if that doesn't work to RMA it. I guess if it's not working tomorrow, it's getting RMA'd...

At one point i was having similar issues. i had to delete the wifi network and recreate it to get it working. My buddy also had the issue with his droid and the only fix was to use a static ip.

Do you know how I can set it up as static IP? I'm using an Android phone with WiFi Tether as my hotspot.
It seems to be working fine for now...I'm posting from my Prime. But it worked yesterday for a few minutes then stopped again so it seems to be intermittant problems. I'm debating even sending it in for RMA because with my luck, it'll get there, work fine when they test it and they'll just send it back with no problems found with a couple of Prime-less weeks for my troubles.
Something weird though, my WiFi icon in the status bar is gray when it's usually blue. But it's still working for now...what does a gray icon mean?

gray means is connecting/scanning for wifi. it should only work when the icon is blue.

I don't think this is true. I believe blue just means the device is in current communication with google servers, e.g. syncing emails. The grey/blue is no indication of success of wifi connection as I understand it.

No, ROM. Completely stock, just rooted.
Bandin, I'm on a C4 and this happened to me about 20 minutes ago.
I was using my Epic 4G Touch ICS FE16 leaked rom using wifi tether - not sprint hotspot.
Watching Netflix
Then it suddenly stopped....said Netflix cannot make a connection.
I quit Netflix and go to main screen and i see my wifi connection is grayed out. So i go to speed test.
Speed test tells me i have connection issues.
I goto my phone and run speedtest and I come back A-OK with 7Mb.
I've even pushed the wifi button on my dock on/off. Disconnected tab from dock select wifi off.
Shut down netflix open it up doesn't work until i do a reboot...
But...this has only happened with my E4GT running wifi tether and stock ics fe16. haven't experienced it on my routers or my neighbors.
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?).

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.
Hi,
First of all don't shoot me for asking this, searching for 2 weeks now.
I'm trying to find out wich rom suits me the best. I tried CM10, CM9, Resurrection Remix, SlimICS, Slimbean and a few stock based ones.
All the roms i tried that are AOSP or AOKP give me the same problem. After a while wifi times out. The apps using this connection aren't even aware, they think they are still connected (gtalk for example). To be clear it is not the same problem as the wifi not working thing in Jellybean (bootloader).
Every where i searched (in-and outside XDA) i get thesame solutions: flash iCS first, use a static ip address, use wifi fixer, delete everything in data\misc\dhcp, use*#0011# (wich these roms dont even have)
on a stock based rom i don't have this problem at all. wifi stays connected for hours so its not a hardwareproblem.
Is there anyone who knows the reason for this problem? I tried with 2 completely different routers/networks but the problem remains.
I use the international variant GT-I9300
thanks in advance!
I've got a similar issue to this. Any help would be great.
Treare, how's your battery life since this issue started?
hi,
Well, i play so much with this phone that i have to charge twice a day. But this is since day 1 so hard to answer your question. When the phone is a little older i would be able to answer (when the playing becomes less)
did some more tests:
Hypergalaxy ICS: phone sleeping, wifi stays connected, no problems
Hypergalaxy JB: phone sleeping, wifi stays connected, no problems
Wanam ICS: phone sleeping, wifi stays connected, no problems
Wanam JB: phone sleeping, wifi stays connected, no problems
SlimICS: phone sleeping,wifi dropped, wifi icon says connected, all apps seem connected but aren't anymore
Slimbean: phone sleeping,wifi dropped, wifi icon says connected, all apps seem connected but aren't anymore
Liquidsmooth: phone sleeping,wifi dropped overnight, wifi icon says connected, all apps seem connected but aren't anymore
CM10: phone sleeping,wifi dropped overnight, wifi icon says connected, all apps seem connected but aren't anymore
Resurrection Remix: phone sleeping,wifi dropped, wifi icon says connected, all apps seem connected but aren't anymore
Temasek unofficial CM: phone sleeping,wifi dropped, wifi icon says connected, all apps seem connected but aren't anymore
Is there really nobody who has a possible fix please?
Hi,
How stupid can it be?
After hours and hours and DAYS of testing and flashing the only thing i did was changing TKIP/AES into TKIP on one of my routers. Never had any time outs anymore the last 2 days.
I never changed anything in my routers because every single device i have works without problems (3 laptops, 1 desktop, 3 symbian phones, 1 SGS2, 1 SGS3 with stock rom, a printer and a television).
So my conclusion is AOSP/AOKP/CM don't like AES (or TKIP/AES). Correct me if i'm wrong.
