I have a G Tablet that I've been messing around with for the last 3 months or so. It had been fairly solid and reliable with Calkulin's ROM installed on it for awhile. Then the wifi started becoming unreliable when connecting to the ad-hoc wifi generated by my droid. This was aggravating, but the infrastructure wifi was still fine. Then that changed for me too. I get these periods where is just says error for he wifi status. I find that rebooting solves the problem for a while, but only for 10 minutes, if I'm lucky. I tried using different ROMs and finally settled on GTabComb BETA 2.0. I like this, but I still have the same wifi issues. To try to fix it, I used NVFlash to go back to the stock rom, still had the problem. Used the format utility, that scared the crap out of me, then NVFlash to go to Stock ROM. Then reinstall GTabComb, still with the flaky wifi. Has anyone else encountered this issue or have any idea how to fix it? I can't say I find my tablet terribly useful with no wifi.
are you sure it's an issue with the tab and not the Droid? has either device had an update to their tethering software?
Currently only using home wifi from my FIOS router. I was just poking around in there and noticed the Xbox stuff is being forwarded to the same IP as the Tablet. To avoid an IP Address conflict, I've given it a static IP in the DHCP settings that's well away from where the other IPs are being assigned out of. Hopefully I'll see some improvement.
Edit: Well, so much for it being an IP address conflict, it's out again with error.
Edit2: I've run the Fix Permissions from ROM Manager, that didn't help either. I can not figure this one out. Under the About Tablet, it says the wifi is an unknown version, is there a way to update the wifi itself?
Ya i have only had mine a few days and the wifi seems to drop in and out. If i disconnect and then reconnect it seems to help but i worry it will end up like yours eventually
Can you guys tell us what roms youre using when this happen? I'm trying to figure out if this is a software or hardware issue.
Between myself and family, we have 3 gtabs. And none have the problems that you guys describe.
I'm currently using GTabComb, but it started happening while I was running Calkulin. I didn't stay on stock long enough in between the two to really ascertain if that was a problem there as well.
In another post I mentioned having the same exact issue. My wifi out of the blue just became unreliable while tethered. Going on a week & a half now. I've been on the same rom on my phone for months, so I know it's not my phone. On my tab I've been using CM7 for months as well.
If I'm connected to my wifi router at home I have no problems. I have no idea what gives. I've tried just about everything I could (different roms, fix permissions, wiped all data, nvflash). The only thing I have not done is a complete G-Tab format utilizing the G-Tab format utility tool.

Don't bother with the G-Tab format utility, it doesn't help this issue. And besides, it has to be the scariest thing i've done to my tablet, I thought I was going to have to crack it open to make it work again after I did that.
I was using Wireless Tether for Root Users on my original Droid. Haven't tried it lately since the infrastructure issue popped up as well.
Fox_spy: If you gTab keeps dropping connections like clockwork, try flashing the zip file posted in this thread.
The wlan binary blobs in that zip file should work with all kernels, but, if you still have problems, the script saves your original wlan binary blobs as filename.bin.orig in /system/lib/hw/wlan, so you can easily restore them.
I'd like to know if downgrading-the-firmware-blobs solution works for you.
Just thought I'd post my experiences...
I've been using CM7 versions on mine, recently upgraded to 7.0.3 and my wifi connection now frequently drops. Haven't done much troubleshooting. I just disable and re-enable it to get the connection back.

This didn't work for me. It definitely changed the version though since I could see a difference in file size between the 2 files. I couldn't figure out how to change it back either since I kept getting permission denied. I've found that visiting the Android Market is a guaranteed drop and error for my wifi.
Have gone back to totally stock 3588 and that's working fine right now. Wifi is staying online and working as far as I can tell. I wish stock had the google Market so I could test that. I may have to go to another mod, but I don't want to have my wifi go flaky.
I believe I've fixed the wifi issue. As a crap shoot I typed the word "repair" into the Android Market & saw several apps for wifi repair. Though the apk description read that the fix was for other specific models I decided to give it a go. I figured well if it borks my rom I'll just restore my current backup.
I came across an app called "FXR WiFi fix and rescue". So far I've been using it for the past 2 hours via Wireless Tether & it hasn't dropped once. Previously before the fix, I was lucky if I got 5-10 min. before it dropped connection.
Just to make sure it wasn't a fluke I left my phone & tab untouched & connected for 30 min with an open web-page. When I came back to test it out, it was still connected.
If you want to try it then I suggest you back up your rom first. Let us know how it goes.
I'm running the latest CM7 nightly build btw.

Unfortunately this didn't fix my problem in GTabComb, but you mentioned CM7 which I actually don't seem to have any problems with from a wifi perspective. I put CM 7.1 RC 1 BL1.1 onto my tablet and the wifi is great, but I can't use it long term because it doesn't see the internal SDCard, which is annoying to say the least. No idea what's up on that one. Trying to find the mod I originally had on here for long term use to try that for a fresh install again, if only I could remember what it was.
Edit: Random question for those with wireless problems. Do you have a case on your tablet? I've got one of those full body skins. I really hope that's not the cause.
I put GtabComb Alpha 1.6.2 onto my tablet and it can scan networks and isn't immediately erroring out, which puts it ahead of some other ROMs I've tried. But it doesn't see ad-hoc networks so I won't know if it's stable until later when I get home.
Edit: $*^%, wifi fail at home using my FIOS router. However it occurs to me that I've got a repeating wireless bridge in my house, so I'm unplugging that and trying this again. I did manage to do more this time around before it dropped. So, I'm sort of making progress.
Edit2: I can't decide if I'm pissed or not that turning off the bridge seems to have fixed it. I may have to experiment more before I'm satisfied though.
Edit3: It's still going in and out. Damn.

That's a pity. My Wi-Fi drops were fixed after the firmware blob downgrade.
Send me the dmesg.txt that results from this command, after you've got a few Wi-Fi drops. Inside a Terminal program, type:
Code:
$ dmesg > /mnt/sdcard/dmesg.txt

The files are inside the /system partition which is normally read-only. You also need superuser privileges to make changes to that partition. Next time, use Root Explorer.

Plenty more errors towards the end of the file, and all of them are SDIO-related errors.
On the gTablet, both the wlan hardware and the SD card use the SDIO interface, which accounts for your SD card and wlan problems.
I see that you're running a custom Clemsyn kernel, so, I can't decide if this is a kernel problem or a hardware malfunction. Here's what I suggest you do.
1. Install ClockworkMod v0.8--the safe and stable version for gTablets.
2. Shut down the gTablet for ~5 mins.
3. Boot into clockworkmod and run that dmesg command again. I want to see the messages from a safe, standard kernel.

wtf?? I flashed to 2.1 global generic today, and everything has been fine, then suddenly all my market downloads started hanging on "starting download" (for free downloads) or "authorizing purchase" (for something I bought, before noticing the problem).
So I done some looking around for solutions and one of the solutions on devices that have had this in the past was to enable wifi, try downloading from the market, disable wifi, should be fine.
But when I tried enabling wifi it failed, and come up with a message "unable to scan for networks". the wifi setting then defaulted back to dissabled, automatically. wtf, i know there are wifi networks around, im in my room, on my PC, USING my wifi network which my phone was connected to previously.
Im stumped and need help
oh also worth noting, wifi has worked since updating to 2.1, and i have barely touched the device, done nothing major anyway (i.e. all I have done is stuff like adding widgets to desktop, nothing root based) since it was working.
Exactly the same for me mate. It initially worked, but now just displays the same message as you get.
Rebooted, removed battery, nothing has helped.
Happened to me too, after updating to 2.1.
I did a factory reset, that seemed to have solved the issue.
But it is really weird and hope it doesn't happen again.
yeah.... in the end after a lot of looking around I just recided to use SEUS to "repair" (reset) it, and so far that has worked a treat, plus the market is a lot more responsive now,
but it's quite a serious issue on google's part, as it's not just X10s that are getting this. Anyhoo, just out of curiosity if you've received this message, what version of the 2.1 firmware are you running, nordic, global, etc?
Check out this thread:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=826027
I also found that restoring WiFi access points from 1.6 using Titanium can give you this exact problem, so be careful people!
*sent from my X10i
I fixed mine by removing stored wifi settings. I assume titanium backup did it.
"Unable to scan networks"
I too have the same issue, idk when it exactly stopped working but I do know that I flashed it earlier that day with the 2.1.1 f/w. I am not sure but could the config. file be edited or the extension for it be renamed to fix the issue?
I ran across this post, and found the fix posted on this page. I had to change the wpa_supplicant.conf file extension to .bak

I had the same problem. I installed the software from the sony erikcon website to my computer, and then followed the process for updating the phone software. That did not work, since I had the latest software already. So then, I tried to REPAIR my phone software, and after that was done, my phone was functional again, and the wifi works without any problems.
Requirements:
* A PC connected to the Internet (preferably broadband)
* USB phone-to-PC connection. Please see the accessories compatibility list for your phone.
1.Run the software on the computer after it is installed.
2. Follow the procedure for UPDATE or REPAIR (if you already have the latest version).
Since upgrading to the EB01 Froyo leak (debinged/deodexed) I have wifi issues where every 3 or 4 times I attempt to enable it, it will fail, and show "Error" under the Wi-Fi settings (where it ususally says in blue text "Turn on Wi-Fi", "Connecting..." "Connected to <network>", etc). I finally got the log message associated with it, and was wondering if anyone has figured out a way to address this?
From what I gather insmod is the kernel's mechanism for (in this case) loading the wifi driver, so this would be an issue with the kernel? So now what?
E/WifiHW ( 2467): return of insmod (args:firmware_path=/system/etc/wifi/bcm4329_sta.bin nvram_path=/system/etc/wifi/nvram_net.txt dhd_watchdog_ms=10 dhd_poll=1) : ret = -1, Invalid argument
At first I thought a reboot was necessary to get it to attempt to reload the driver, but I've since found clearing level 2 ram in the task manager does the trick. Still a big PIA though.
Thanks for any help.

So, if I'm not mistaken I can just install the non-voodoo zip w/ Red CWM directly over EB01 with no wiping/cache clearing, etc, and be up and running with no data or configuration loss? Sounds like a pretty quick and easy way to fix my issue.
I haven't been following the EC10 thread, but I just took a look and looks like the static issue when the screen comes on during a call is fixed as well, the only other issue I've had.
Guess I may have to give it a shot! How long have you been using it?
KF
I've been using it for a couple days and have to say that it combined with SuperClean 2.9 has made my phone super smooth. I haven't found a single glitch so far.
Took the plunge and updated to EC10 last night. I've had only a brief time to play around with it, but so far so good with the wifi. Thanks for the help!
Could just be my mind playing tricks on me, but I could swear in general everything is more responsive as well... Not only loading apps, but when I brought up navigation this morning I've never once seen it lock on and start driving directions this fast.
Nevermind... Same problem still with EC10. Got my hopes up there for a minute.
I got the same problem with SC 2.9.2v and had with any other SC Froyo build. I'm using JuiceDefender so WiFi is turned on/off lot of times (every 15 minutes on schedule or when screen is unlocked). Usually once or twice a day I find that there is an error with WiFi and the only way to fix it is to wait couple of minutes and try turning it on manually or switch to airplane mode on/off.
I also use JuiceDefender w/ Wifi. If it doesn't occur less often with EC10 (too soon to tell still), I'll have to disable the wifi controls in JD so it's toggled on/off far less frequently.
Glad to see I'm not the only one seeing it. I bet the JD users will just notice it more since we are loading the wifi driver all the time.
Kidd_Funkadelic
And thanks for the airplane mode tip- I'll have to try that. I was clearing level 2 ram in task manager to do it. AM would be slightly more convenient.
jt1134's source build EC10 didn't help, still having same problem with WiFi. My log is showing the same thing.
At least the new kernel fixed the static issue. One thing at a time, right? I hope that this means there will be ED01 kernel drop
Actually, maybe April Fool's day is a bad choice...
What radio are you using? EB01?
Yes, I did the full Froyo update to EB01 over the stock 2.1 Verizon eclair, then installed the EC10 specifically for this issue. That's all I've done. Oh, went back into CWM after seeing the problem for a few days to clear the Dalvik cache. That's all I've done to date...
OK so it's not radio related but kernel/rom then. I'm on EA28 radio cause I had problems with missed calls with EB01.
Solutions? Bump?
Sorry for reviving this thread, but I have what I think is the same problem (on EB01).
My wifi always works after a reboot, but then if I turn it off and try and turn it back on, it gives me an error message until I either
A) reboot the phone
or
B) repeatedly turn it on and off again (usually takes 3 or 4 times to work again)
Anyone else having this specific problem or know how to fix it?

I was able to get rid if the problem by using Auto Killer Memory Optimizer. It turned out to be a memory issue. Use one of the preset profiles, like aggressive, and see how you do. I was having the problem several times a day and it never came back.
Or, upgrade to PWGB, which takes care if the problem too and doesn't require messing with memory mgmt settings...
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.
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.

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!

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.
