So we can stop seeing these over and over and over again.
Common issues:
1. If it goes to sleep, it may not wake up. Force reboot by holding down the power button and center button on the front of the screen for 15 seconds.
2. Wifi may not connect. Try disabling and re-enabling wifi. That may not work still, try rebooting. That may still not work.. come back later, it may work then. Seriously, I rebooted 20 times with no luck, cycling and cycling, no luck still, set it down to charge for a few minutes, came back, walla, all was good. Now, I was at least able to connect for a bit... and then LATER it stopped working.. if you were NEVER able to connect, that may be a different story. Worst case, do a wipe data/factory reset in CWM, that should fix it.
Another bit that may help:
Go to wifi settings. Click your router and forget. Turn wifi off then back on again. Then connect back to your router with your password

Also, go to Settings | Wireless & Networks | Wi-Fi Settings .. click the Menu button, then click Advanced. Turn your Wifi Sleep Policy to Never, so that it stays on when your screen goes off, that should help, though it may drain your battery. But, its an alpha, so oh well.
5. Google apps are missing. Install gapps. You obviously didn't read ANY thread about it, so go back to it and do it again. Or be lazy and get it here: http://wiki.cyanogenmod.com/wiki/Latest_Version#Google_Apps
Flash that zip in CWM.
4. Market has apps missing. There is a fix now.
http://code.google.com/p/cmtouchpad/issues/detail?id=65
On that page, it links you to the fix.. here it is
http://www.multiupload.com/5MKAKAKUM6
(If I'm not supposed to link directly to that, let me know, I'll remove it).
Just flash this fix in CWM. If you don't know how to do that, don't use this alpha, but also.... mash in one of the download links into your browser in android, download it. Now it probably put it into your 'download' directory on your "sd card". Reboot into "Recovery" or choose Recovery in the boot loader. Go to Install Zip from SD Card.. and choose zip from sd card.. then navigate to your 'download' directory, select it, and walla, market is now fixed.
5. I want Swype. I don't know how to search. How do I get Swype without searching?
Start here... http://rootzwiki.com/showthread.php?7916-HOW-TO-Make-Swype-Work-on-the-TouchPad
Here's where I'm at with Swype so far... I used the resolution they used as an example.. Screenshot below. I used the Beta installer. Haven't messed with other resolutions yet to see if I like the outcome better...

joshts0 - Big thanks man. I was just thinking about starting a thread just like this one! I was reading through the "CM7 on the Touchpad" thread and almost shot myself! It's ridiculous how many people have asked the same question about wifi, how to reboot, etc, when the answer was 2 pages previous! Frustrating!
So far I have had the most problems with WiFi, i am unable to connect to my WAP encrypted home network however I am able to connect to my unsecured Phone hotspot. Is this port only able to connect to unsecured networks?
I've been able to connect to my WPA2-PSK-AES access point so it might be something else.
i was intermittent wifi connection. then somebody gave me the idea that it could be the dual channel setting in my router. The way you fix this is by going into advance wifi settings and then check regulatory domain. I picked 14 channels to match my DLink. after this fix no more wifi drops. love it

It is definitely able to connect to encrypted networks... but there are less (no?) problems with unsecured networks. Try some of the ideas listed here and see what happens, and most importantly don't give up. I **** you not, mine just magically started working despite doing the same thing over and over again.

Try going to cwm and wiping data/factory reset, and seeing it works then?
You might want to add that for problem #1, you can avoid it by never press the power button to turn off the display. Instead, you should let it time out by itself.

my machine stuck on cyanogen loading page after flashing, does not help after a fresh reinstall of my webos, looks like nobody have such issues....
Can you get into CWM ?

Supposedly, setting the minimum cpu frequency to 384 instead of 192 will prevent sleep from sticking.
For Facebook force-closes, install Fake GPS from the market and set a location. Facebook is crashing because it's trying to use the GPS to locate you.
Set wifi sleep policy under advanced wifi (press menu under wifi settings) to minimize wifi issues. Battery life is affected, power draw will be about 1.25% per hour with screen off
The other CM7 thread disappeared. I recalled reading a fix for the missing songs, may I know what is the fix again ?
this thread isn't stickied? the OP is extremely helpful
Seems like some apps (Adfree, ES File Explorer etc), even with root privileges, cant mount the system as rw. Is there a fix for this?
I also tried Terminal Emulator but it says that the mount the command missing
Ooh that's why adfree crashed... I'll update the first post with any of these tricks in a few.. I've been testing some myself to see if they work for me . Been letting it sleep on its own without pressing the power button and so far haven't had one problem... But I didn't have it very much in the first place. My girlfriend said hers kept not waking up though so i'm having her experiment with it. She is just happy to have Swype.

Turn off Wifi on your phone and turn off the Router for a few minutes. Turn it back on and turn Wifi back on your phone. If that doesn't work go to advanced wifi options on your phone by going to the wifi settings and press the menu button(left of Home Button) and pick Advanced, set the Regulatory domain to a low channel and Wifi policy to Never and see if that helps.
If it still doesn't work set a static IP to 192.168.0.9 and Gateway to your Routers gateway that can be found out clicking on start,run,typing cmd to pull up the command prompt and than typing ipconfig. Set Subnetmask to 255.255.255.0
If it still doesn't work maybe you may need to Replace the Router ?

It could also be a problem with the kernel. You could just try flashing a new one from a zip file.

So your phone can't even see your Router at all? or can it see it but it doesn't connect? if it can't see it at all than it is most definitely broken. Try setting the router to a low channel.

Not sure what you mean by erasing IMEI since you need that for your phone to function?
can you post up what your phone tells you when you dial *#1234# and *#06#
Ah right I see. I couldn't tell from my phone.
I think the best thing would be to flash a stock ROM, use USB jig to reset flash counter and the send it to a repair centre even though you don't have a receipt they should be able to get warranty info from the IMEI.

I have the same problem with my newly bought Samsung Galaxy S2.
After running nicely for one month, the wifi has suddenly stopped working. I will explain the symptoms here so that someone can please help me. Its really urgent.
The wifi refuses to detect any networks. In my computer and other mobile phone, there are atleast three wifi networks which are being scanned. The wifi on the Galaxy S2 turns on, scans for a while and then turns off again.
On repeatedly trying to turn on the wifi, or using the home screen wifi toggle button, the phone hangs and the wifi icon turns light green.
If I try to switch off the phone, the keyboard lights at the bottom stay on - until I remove the battery manually.
Have tried a factory reset and flashing the phone with different firmwares downloaded from the net. Still no luck. Can someone please tell me whether this is a software problem or is my hardware bust?
Thanks in advance.

I'm having this issue since 3-4 days. The phone was working perfectly, and I remember I switched it off for a couple of hours. When I came back and turned it on, the wifi started acting up.
I don't recall exposing it to water. I have a problem with sweat though, sticking on the screen. I had showed it to a Samsung rep, he said it is due to moisture. Don't trust him though. Have again given it to another rep. Let's see tomorrow.
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.
Hello everybody
Problem:
Since the first ROM (XXALE8) till the newest ROM (XXBLFB) I have the same bug on every ROM. When I stay in an WLAN / WIFI for a longer time and the phone goes in standby, after wake up, the WLAN / WIFI gets stuck and is not working anymore.
Means that the connection is still there but no data is received at all!
The WLAN / WIFI symbol then shows only that it is sending data like this:

}
After reading around a little bit in different forums and here on XDA, I found out, that many others have this problem and that there is a fix for it:
Disabling the "WIFI Power Save Mode" solves the problem and it is done like this:
- Type in your phone dialer *#0011#
- Press menu key to open the options-menu
- Press "WIFI"
- Hit the button to turn off "WIFI Power Save Mode"
Problem is that this have to be done again after every reboot because the Power Save Mode is set back to ON after reboot.

Fix / Solve:
In my opinion it seems, that it is like this:
- It's not a problem of the WIFI Hotspot / WLAN Router
- It's a problem of some ROMs in addition with old/false system-files
And in my case I could fix it like this:
- Make a backup of all user-apps and system-files with Titanium Backup
- Flash the actual newest ROM (XXBLFB) via Odin (PC-Odin)
- Flash the CF-Root via Odin
- Go to CWM-recovery and do a wipe data / factory reset
- Restore everything with Titanium Backup
- Enjoy WIFI / WLAN working without bugs!

Just try on my phone:

-update my weather widget just to be sure that wifi connection works
-let the phone goes to standby
-put it on my desk for about half an hour
Just a few minutes ago, I take the phone and the wifi connection still works...
Yeah got that disconnected problem to. Helped a lot when on LFB,but it's hasn't disappeared,only disconnected 4 times in 24h.normally 20-30 times a day.

Yes, that could be! But it could not be that a new Samsung Phone with original Firmware has such problems!
Do nobody have news about this topic?
Another question: is there a way to get more to stock/original, than doing a wipe data in recovery? I mean for example after I flashed a stock rom like XXBLFB..
I have this same problem too. I have WiFi set to 'stay connected only when plugged in'
It only really happens when the phone has had quite a few mins to go into a deep sleep. I wake it up, and it never reconnects to my router.
If i go to WiFi, it says it's scanning, but it never finds or connects to the router. I also cannot manually connect.
I have to turn WiFi off and then on again to get it working.
This is the only bloody thing that annoys me with my phone - if anyone has any ideas, please please post!
ta!
on LFB, haven't had this happen yet.
So I got it working now, look at the first post for my method to get rid of this annoying WIFI / WLAN bug!
Perhaps some of you, that have the same bug can test this method? Is it working for you?

Android TV
I am having the same problem with my Android TV box. To try out the option, I dont have a phone dialer in the box. Can someone advice how to disable wifi power saving mode in my Android TV Box ?
Just wondering if anyone else is experiencing this and has a fix
When I connect to my router at home, the wifi is constantly disconnecting/reconnecting, so i'm cycling between wifi and my LTE radio.
I'm running a 100% stock DNA right now, fyi. Wifi is set to always on...
This happens occasionally on mine. It's the WiFi not the phone. Reboot your router. Sometimes I also have to reboot my modem as well.

I'm having these issues too!
Definitely not my router, considering I'm running off a university secured wireless system. On my Inc 2, I never had problems with the connection dropping in and out! It keeps my phone awake and drains the battery.

The huge chunk when wifi was off I am being told is from smartsync. I had one little disconnect and that was my router Im sure because it has been acting up.
I was having done Wi-Fi trouble yesterday. My phone kept dropping the Wi-Fi connection to my Verizon FiOS router. I was always within range and it hadn't acted up before. We also have an Apple Airport Extreme in the house so I connected to that one instead and I haven't had any problems.

it'd definitely not the router or the cable modem. the other wifi stuff i have around connect without issues. i tried rebooting both anyway, and it didn't seem to help any. kind of annoying bug
I switched my wifi frequency from Auto to 2.4ghz only and that seemed to stop the issue. Only thing that sucks is I lose my wireless-n speeds. Our access point at work is only 2.4ghz tho so I would have to keep switching back and forth :/
Just had this start happening today. I'm wondering if it's something to do with a corruption in a Wi-Fi settings file.
Here's the thing...
Router is fine... I have 6 other devices that are seeing zero problems... DNA is only one with connection troubles.
DNA worked fine for about a week before this started happening. Started after I connected to work Wi-Fi but had to forget a connection... that is what makes me wonder about messed up file.
DNA is stock, no root, etc.
I guess the only way to check it out would be to compare files to try and find corruption... which would require root...
Any suggestions from others?

Some (maybe all) devices keep their current AP data under /data/wifi.
A wipe would cure corruption. It wouldn't have corrupted on read only /system.

Would this be cache/dalvik wipe or a full reset wipe?

Pardon the somewhat noob question, but the system still has permission to write and modify itself, does it not? How else does it save settings, make new AP's, save WAP, WEP, pass-phrases, etc.? Couldn't there be a possibly broken or slightly fouled way that the system modifies its settings files that causes a corruption or error in the file with some sort of a save? Maybe corruption is a bad choice of a word for what this is... just trying to think it through since there are others with similar problems. I may not be the best person to troubleshoot this since I'm no where near a developer level, but I do like solving problems.

Full reset, unless the poster is rooted, in which case the folder contents could be nuked. As for writing to system, no. It cannot write to system without s-off, even if you mount it as rw. The system isn't modified for settings, etc. anyway. Instead it is modified on the data partition. That way, when you do a factory reset, everything returns to default. A mobile OS that modifies things via it's core files would be a disaster.

Sorry, the way I worded that could have been better... by system I meant the OS itself, not writing to the system partition. I understand that it is locked at this point until S-Off is achieved. But it does sound like the OS writes it's settings to the data partition - as you said under the /wifi folder. What I was curious about was if there was some sort of slight error in the way that the OS was writing that config file that caused itself problems. There were a bunch of wifi issues on the Touchpad (tenderloin) early on that this reminds me of. May no be related at all, though... just seems similar.
Unfortunately, my time is short right now with finals approaching on the horizon, but I'll keep lurking and looking into it as my time allows. I love learning anything I can about this sort of stuff.
Thanks for the help BTW. Much respect for your dev work!

Well, it is possible, if the image flashed on the phone was bad to start with. Other than that though, it would take some sort of NAND failure to corrupt something. In which case, the OP has a strong case to get it replaced under warranty.
I never had any issues with this until last night.. I had switched the frequency from auto to 2.4ghz and when I got home or started acting weird so I just switched back to auto frequency and it connected like normal.. idk why that would cause issues but thought I would throw in my $.02..

Mine was originally set to auto, so I switched it to 2.4Ghz and that seemed to only make it worse. The constant disconnecting is only a problem on one network, but unfortunately it's my campus-wide secured wireless network so it's not like I can just reset the router.
My battery life has been significantly worse when connected to this network through the day. It's so bad that I've gone 4G only.
I had this problem when I was custom Rom, after changing to stock Rom that problem solved
The Wi-Fi problems that I'm experiencing showed up after only switching networks, forgetting networks, changing security passkeys, NOT changing the auto or 2.4, 5g settings. I'm still wondering if it's some sort of a problem with the settings file. Does anyone know if the settings file can be deleted and replaced with a default file to try and start new without having to factory reset the entire phone?

If you are rooted, you can just delete the conf file from /data/wifi.

I figured it would take root. Was going to try it w/o root just to see if a fully stock system could be remedied since the problems are not necessarily on a rooted system and are showing up on stock systems too.
I may try this later this afternoon since I'm planning on rooting anyway for a ROM upgrade.
If I delete the config file, will the system simply generate a new one or do I need to overwrite with a stock or blank one?
Thanks again for the information ADR> wish you had stayed on DNA...
I noticed the WiFi issue as soon as I got home with my new DNA and connected to my home wireless router. It's happened numerous times while all other devices (my PC, laptop and iPad) are connected and working fine. I'm going to test out the moving setting to 2.4 or 5 only (will use 2.4 since that's all my home router has) and see what happens. But there is discussion of this issue on the VZW forums with mention of a similar/same issue with HTC X: https://community.verizonwireless.com/message/909569
-Edit-
I want to clarify that my DNA connects to my home network without any issue and shows full signal. The problem is the underlying connectivity seems to drop (still shows connected to WiFi with full signal) and web page won't load. Once I switch off and back on it starts working again.\
-Edit-
Just thinking out loud here - something else comes to mind: My home and work WiFi are backed up on my Google account and I setup my DNA with my Google account while at the Verizon store. So, of course, when I got home it connected automatically. I wonder...

Where I was going with this is perhaps the Restore procedure from Google is somehow getting corrupted in some way when writing to the phone. As chadster1976 just mentioned, I was thinking about forgetting all the wireless networks backed up to Google and re-authenticating manually.

I don't see a /data/wifi directory.
I know there's a topic for February update, but I want to address wifi issue in a separate one, so we could easily maybe find a solution.
I have tried so far to clear network settings with no success at all. Then rebooted phone, wifi came back, but when phone gets to sleep (screen lock), wifi will turn off and no way to turn back.
Then from Google Pixel 6 telegram group was a suggestion to stop Adaptive Connectivity, so I stopped it, rebooted phone, but at some moment wifi was gone once again and you can't turn it on.
Please reply here with some tricks that we want to try to fix the problem. I don't want to root or modify phone, but if there's no other option - I will do it.

If you haven't unlocked your bootloader, your options are very limited. You could try sideloading the OTA and see if that helps.
For an unlocked bootloader I would suggest simply reflashing the baseband image, but that isn't possible if the bootloader is locked.
Have you tried clearing cache in the recovery environment?

I'm sorry, I am so new to P6 that I didn't know this. I saw that the P6 takes some effort to get into stock recovery (wow! power off, boot with volume down and power keys, freak out a bit at the sick robot image, then use keys to scroll to recovery mode). I just assumed there would be a wipe cache in the wipe data/reset option. I've never seen a phone without that option, as far as I can remember. What a weird thing to omit!
Did you try doing it from the Settings app? (Storage... free up space... cleaning... junk). On past phones I've had less success doing it from this kind of menu than from doing it from recovery, but worth a try.
I won't reset my phone. It's my daily driver and I have read already an article that reset doesn't clear the issue.

I haven't seen any workarounds for this bug as of yet. Let's hope Google gets on it. Maybe a Carrier Services update or something will fix it. Btw, I don't have this problem (knock on wood).
I only have it installed for 9h but so far is working fine for me.

You might have hit on something. After the update I still hadn't installed the latest beta carrier services which was 91. 424 or something. Right after I updated I had 3 updates CS being one of then to 92.x. They wouldn't install so I was like wtf all 3 pending. Rebooted nothing. Then I turned off wifi and all updated fine. Turned back on wifi and no problems since. I didn't test the wifi but now it seems reasonable that was the culprit. Can't be sure though.
My WiFi Mac address is unavailable, I would guess that's the reason I can't turn on wifi.
definitely experiencing wifi issues. would reboot device, wifi would need to be turned on, then it connects to my wifi and works fine, put the phone down and come back in a couple of minutes, its no longer connected to the wifi and I can't even turn wifi on. updated carrier services like bobby did and it's still behaving the same. I did the feature update before the security update and wasn't having this issue so this is directly tied to the security update.

November? If you're going to downgrade why not use the January one, why go that far back?
For me wifi works after network reset yesterday but i never had the described problem that wifi turns off when phone is locked and can not be turned back on. Instead of that yesterday i noticed that when phone locks at some point in time it does not have internet anymore despite the fact that it shows to be connected to wifi. Turn off and on wifi fixed it for some time. I did network reset yesterday afternoon and have not seen this behavior since that time.
I am having hotspot issues. I setup the pixel 6 as a hotspot for my other devices to use on the go, it worked for two days since I updated the device, but today suddenly none of my other devices can connect to the hotspot (the hotspot is discovered and the other devices can connect to it, but cannot access internet)

I did network reset 10 times maybe already and still no Wi-Fi after that. Only option is to reboot phone, but fix is for some minutes until phone get locked.
If I put screen time out to 10 minutes, then Wi-Fi is working just fine. At some point I touch the phone and another 10 minutes Wi-Fi is OK. If I change time out to my default 30 seconds, then I have no Wi-Fi in 1-2 minutes...
To everybody having problems with wifi - did you try disabling adaptive connectivity?

That doesn't help as several users in the reddit + google threads confirmed, neither does a factory reset which Google still likes to recommend
I too have no wifi and this is a major problem for me.
Not rooted yet. How do I revert to January?

Only one way. Full wipe of device, by unlocking the bootloader. And only if it's unlockable. Or turn off wifi and wait for the fix.
