touchpad Android wireless issues sorted - TouchPad General

Should probably go in development but as a noob I can't post their yet.
Since updating to CM7 A3.5 I started having wireless issues. Would lose IP connectivity but connection up. Other wireless devices no issues and previous CM7 versions had been okay.
Updated to Xron 2.91 on here which seemed to make things worse.
Ran a wifi signal app and noticed neighbours AP on the same channel. Reconfigured mine and have had no touchpad issues since.
As all other devices were fine I didn't think of checking the frequency. Obviously the touchpad is a bit sensitive.
Hope someone else benefits from this. Thanks to those who released the Xrom and CM7 roms. Makes the touchpad a wicked cheap tablet.
Matt.

This has been talked about before and is considered one way of fixing wifi problems. If you still can't connect you could make the touchpad forget the network from settings and reconnect again. Using an app like regpon wifi keep alive helps a lot and finally a reboot helps if everything else fails

Also: Make sure your date/time is correct and a reboot into webOS often fixes it.

Yeah the wifi issues seem to be a hit or miss. Sometimes changing the channel works for people. Other times it's just the router. I would need to always "forget" the connection before turning my TP off then reconnect after at my house. But it works perfectly at my friends house. Thanks for the post though. It might help others with this issue.

i was just going to actually post in the thread, but like you, i am a newb with insufficient rights =)
ive done 4 touchpads, 3 different routers, cm7 3.0/3.5 and xronified 2.1 and to 2.9:
-asus rt12n w/tomato 1.28 in WDS mode with WPA1 AES on channel 11:
runs flawlessly on every revision and touchpad ive done so far.
-airlink ar670w w/ddwrt sp1 with WPA2 AES on channel 11:
initially connects but when TP goes to sleep, it will not reconnect on wakeup and strobe on and off and lock up wifi settings. cm7 3.0/3.5 and xronified 2.7/8/9
-linksys wrt54g w/hyper thibor with WPA2 AES on channel 11:
same results the airlink with ddwrt
after searching and experimenting, ive gotten both the linksys and airlink to play nice by doing the following:
1) changed encryption from WPA2 to WPA1
2) changed channels to 6 or 1 (personally i just picked whatever seemed less crowded)
3) disabled wifi sleep and scanning on TP.
4) rebooted TP into webos then back into android and rebooted router.
hope one or some of these solutions helped.

Even if your other devices weren't having issues being on the same wifi channel can cause packet loss due to interference making your Internet feel slower.

I also read that people had succes using the FXR Wifi Fix app to fix some of their wifi issues. If anyone is still having issues, you might want to try that out as well.

Download the apk and install manually from computer. just connect the touchpad to the computer and copy the file over.

The fxr app does restore my wifi connection, but does not permanently fix my disconnect issues. I am trying out the regpon app now, so hopefully this will help maintain my connections!
As far as messing with routers, this is not an option for me as I use my school's wifi network when I'm working in my lab.

I have only dropped once at home and after forgetting the network and reconnecting I never had trouble again.
First post here... Just want to say that this is an amazing community. So many cool heads willing to spend time to help. It's awesome. With guidance from many of you(I have done EXTENSIVE reading around here for days), I just did my first CM install on my TP and I am in heaven.

The solution I'very found is to tap the icon next to the back icon and then the wireless icon. Don't even know what the icons called, butit has buttons to turn. on/off wifi, Bluetooth, suond and what I'm assuming is the camera.

[Q] CM7 Thunderbolt Tethering not working

Hello XDA Developers,
I have an HTC thunderbolt, I'm running Cm7.1, the newest release that came out yesterday. My issue is that wifi or USB tethering do not work. Whether I connect usb tethering and enable the feature from the phone, or enable wifi tethering and connect through my laptop, the network connects, but then says no internet access and/or limited or no connectivity. My laptop connects to wifi internet fine.
I've had this problem for every iteration of CM7 for thunderbolt since June. Before moving to CM7, i remember trying tethering once or twice and it did not work. I've just decided now to try and get tethering working.
I've tried using the wi-fi tether app from code.google.com/p/android-wifi-tether/downloads/list as well as barnacle wifi tether, both have the same problem.
My main questions would be:
1. Is there any reason I have overlooked as to why tethering does not work on my phone? Is there some new verizon block to tethering for root users? Are there any settings I could try to get this working?
2. Are there any known issues with CM7 and thunderbolt tethering?
3. It seems weird if it was a hardware issue since my laptop does actually connect to the phone, it just has no network connectivity.
Thanks!
I had a similar issue and fixed it by downloading the open garden wifi tethering app https://market.android.com/details?id=og.android.tether and changing the network to open on that app as well as the built in cm7 app. Then enable both apps and it should connect. Did for me.

Newest release came out about 20 minutes prior to your post CM7.1.1...check the rootz thread.
I've seen reports of this before. If memory recalls correctly, the devices weren't acquiring an IP correctly. Once you have it tethered, on the laptop/device try releasing and renewing your IP or disabling/enabling the adapter.
You are not the only person having this problem. I'm having this problem too and have not found a fix for it yet. I've found a pattern though, any ROM that I've loaded that was a build or based off of CM7, had the tethering problem. And as stated above, the problem about not acquiring and ip correctly is exactly what's happening.
Hopefully a dev or someone else can come along help resolve this problem. Apparently this problem is not very widespread as it seems that very few peeple have this problem.
Thank you everyone for your help.
keith.mcintyre26, I tried your suggestion of open garden wifi app, and it worked perfectly, just installed it and it worked. CM7 wifi tether still does not work though.

I tried the app as well and It didn't work I am in a tricky area when it comes to data coverage though so I can't help but think that might be it? Unrelated: Sometimes I lose data coverage altogether (drops out, comes back, drops out, etc) when I'm in 4G coverage areas. Maybe the two are related,

I know this is not the problem where I live as I'm in full signal.
I just got onto this ROM, after being on BAMF Forever, forever, and LOVE IT. My only complaint and possibly a show-stopper -- Wi-Fi Tether doesn't work, and neither does the built-in tether app.
I've done a complete wipe. The client connects, but doesn't DHCP.
Any ideas?

Quick update -- Open Garden works...
Strange... But I guess I'm all set
I had/have the same problem with cm7 and bamf1.86. I finally got cm7 tether last night using barnacle, but it was at .3 mbs. I have yet to top 1mbs. That was with 4g(or so it said.) I have tried the included wifi tether, usb tether, barnacle, and open garden. Nothing works properly on either rom. Signal was between -80 and at worst -90.
Sent from my ADR6400L using Tapatalk
Seems to be a common issue across newer roms lately for wifi tether.
I got mine fixed by downloading the newest experimental build.
Once installed go into settings, Check Disable wake lock, check wifi driver reload, also check routing fix. Furthermore, make sure you select the proper device, should be the first option once you open settings.

[HELP] Ray WIFI and GPS problems

So I've got my Ray for a few months now, but ever since I have problems with the WIFI and GPS connections.
GPS:
I used to use Navigon on my Acer Liquid, but that app doesn't work anymore unless there's an active data connection and I don't have a data plan. Now I use CoPilot Live Premium 8.xxxx. App itself works well, but the GPS signal get's lost every few minutes and I have the feeling this is getting worse. Especially in cities it's posible I have to wait for like 15 minutes to have a signal and after that the signal gets lost every 2 minutes or so. Is this just due to a poor GPS receiver in the Ray or what?
WIFI:
I can connect to my router (WPA2-Personal AES) but only for 2 minutes. After that, the icon in the status bar shows that my Ray is still connected to the router, but there is no internet connection anymore, eg in the market pages keep on loading most of the times without saying the connection is lost or so and I have to turn off WIFI and turn it on again after a minute to have it working again for 2 minutes -_- If I do this a lot, it even kicks my computers of my network and I have to reboot my router
I hear there a quite a few problems with the WIFI in kernel related situations and it's often solved by using a custom ROM, but I would like to stay on stock ROM.
What could be causing this? The router, the WIFI security...? I didn't have the chance to test it on another router, maybe tomorrow.
Any help would be appreciated!
For the wifi, if you could test it on another network, we could know if the problem comes from your phone.
For the GPS, if your phone is rooted, I suggest you this application, with every Android phone I have I use it, and I have a some-seconds signal acquisition. It may fix your problem, but I don't understand its origin.

Thanks for the app tip, I will try it!
Try sygic for navigation. It's free and for now it worked with no problems for me.
I have some problems with wifi too. At home i can connect to the router freely, when using my laptop as router it shuts the laptop down, at friends it restarts his router it almost looks like Ray is to aggressive when connecting.
I looked into the problem again today and finally, I got it working.
The things I did:
1) Router firmware update (Dlink DIR-615)
2) Removed Ray's DHCP settings from the router and added them back manually so it never expires.
(Up till this point I still had the same issues.)
3) Changed the WIFI mode from N and G mixed to N only

Wifi Glitchy, but only on Android side of things

I've been playing with an TP now for about a week or so. When I got it, the WiFi worked great, on both bootups. Now if I turn off the device and restart the WiFi never works on Android unless I go through the hassle of wiping my Delvik and or playing with a code I have for SuperUser. However if I boot up in WebOS, WiFi is there and connects immediately to any WiFi in the area.
Answers?!
Thanks in advance!
Not sure if Android wifi is perhaps detailed in another topic, but i'll post my issue here too while i keep searching for a solution.
I connect easily WebOS to Nexus One using "Portable Wi-Fi Hotspot" ..but in CM9 the wifi loops "Obtaining IP Address, Saving.. Obtaining IP Address" ..repeatedly.
Has anyone succeeded yet with Android-to-Android via portable hotspot?
EDIT: Okay, after re-applying sledgehammer, rebooting everytime i turn on TP's wi-fi (+ few FCs), disconnecting and reconnecting a few more times, it's finally connecting.. occasionally.
I'm not even trying to use the portable hotspot, at this point just trying to connect to my router at home, which it had no problem with earlier.
But the TP keeps looping the same as you...
"Obtaining IP Address, Saving.. Obtaining IP Address"
At least I'm not getting the 'force close' box anymore. Lol
I had terrible connection issues on CM7 and after installing CM9 all seemed fine until my first reboot, then I couldn't connect at all.
A few days ago, I changed my linksys router wireless channel from 11 to 4 and have not lost connection a single time since, even after multiple reboots. I have seen several others say they have had similar success.
However this happens no matter where I'm at, or who's router I'm using. ( I currently have an ActionTec, via Verizon), and I use the TP at school, so no idea what they have set up as wireless.
Had some issues with the portable hotspot from my iPhone but after making the TP forget the connection, toggling the wifi on both devices I can pick it up again. Not too bad. No issues with my home router.
I had to do the same, I 'Forgot' the network, then I toggled the Wifi on and then off. For whatever reason it has no issues staying connected to my home network now.
However at work I have to do that forget n' toggle everytime I reboot it.
Did you do a clean install or on top of CM7? When I loaded on top, I had many problems.
After an uninstall and fresh load of CM9, I do not have any problems like I use to experience in CM7. I would remove WiFi profiles and re-connect when going from Home to Office networks. I have none of that now in CM9, knock on wood.
I had issues frequently with CM7 and wifi, as was common. I haven't had any issues with CM9 or preludedrews latest build. I follow the "kill a fly with a sledgehammer" approach. I wipe data/factory reset, then wipe cache, advanced>wipe dalvik, mounts>format system, cache, data. Then installed. It takes an extra second to do all the wipes, but with experimental builds like this I always do it.
Now the only android issue I can't fix is ironically the xda app. In CM7, xron, CM9, or preludedrew's build whenever I try to do anything it FCs. That is my only complaint right now.

I was not having the wifi troubles that two other touchpad owners I know were having. I installed Android on both of their devices, but couldn't figure out what to do to fix it and it was making me insane. Finally, we reset all our routers to a channel below 5 and found that they all connected to wifi well, HOWEVER, I found a better solution. I don't know if anyone has noticed this, but this must be a setting I fiddled with on my TP, that the other two TP owners had not fiddled with.
Go into Wifi Settings, then click the Menu button at the bottom left (the three bars)... click Advanced then click Regulatory Domain. In my touchpad, I had clicked on the 11 Channel option. On the two touchpads that could not regularly connect to wifi, neither had a selection made whatsoever under "Regulatory Domain." After clicking "11 Channels," all three touchpads can connect to wifi with no issues AT ALL, no matter the channel.
I almost can't believe this hasn't been posted in other forums yet, because it seems to be the key and much easier than setting every router you want to connect to, to a different channel.
Please let me know if this works.
Thanks for the tip. My touchpad had nothing selected either in that menu. Hopefully this will solve my wifi woes!

nice find thanks I'll give it a try
i cant even find the wifi settings/menu. i go into the wifi and can view the networks available, look at known connections, and when i look at preferences i'm only given one option to toggle which is whether the wifi turns on or off while sleeping.
so where do i look to find the above mentioned wifi settings which leads to the menu button that i cannot find? thanks.

I don't thank it is for CM9.
It's on top corner. You can access menus there. However, on CM9 build I do not have the regulatory options to change the channels as you explained. It's an advanced tab that gives me access to sleep policy, etc. Are you on CM7?
Yep, it's only CM7.

Sorry, I should have specified that I'm on CM7. It works so wonderfully for me that I won't be doing CM9 until many more of the bugs are worked out.
I'm running Miui with CM7 base. I do not see where these 'menu' options are. *head scratching*.. Is it under the 'advanced' tab?
Found it, but it to is selected with 11 channels already.
# rm -rf /data/misc/wifi && reboot
this also works, but it's a pain to have to copy and paste it and run it through the terminal daily. just hoping for a solid fix. cm9 seems to be the way to go, but once they have a few more of the bugs worked out.

..but guessing this is CM7 only, as CM9 is missing the channel selector. Maybe the option will be added to CM9 at some stage. My portable hotspot (baked-in Froyo version) is also missing the selector on the other end, which really makes things difficult if certain channels either aren't supported or yet made operative for some reason.

Wow, I searched these forums for hours trying to find a solution other than the option to change your router channel and I never saw that post. I even searched again before I reposted all over the board. C'est la vie. I knew I couldn't be the only person that had stumbled on that solution.
And yes, I'm still on CM7 until CM9 looks less buggy.
This solution is working for me so far.
Sweeeet. Thanks a lot!

Why is my phones Wifi so extremely slow?

My Internet speed is roughly 50 down and 5 up. I use a Netgear modem/router (this was the router that worked correctly with all of my demands). I have an iMac that will get the full 50 download speed via wifi. My iPad gets around 30 (not the full 50 but satisfactory)... but my Note 3 is around 1Mbps. Maybe sometimes it'll spike up in speed for a few moments... But it's so inconsistent. I tried using different channels on the router.... No improvement. (the upload speed is fine though. It'll usually be the full 5mbps)
Any ideas on what's going on? Any settings on the router I can try to help improve this? (stock note 3).
Any help is appreciated. Thanks

Digital Trends has an article that has some tips on this issue:
Glitch: Wi-Fi issues
Some Note 3 owners are having trouble connecting to Wi-Fi networks, finding that the Wi-Fi is very slow, or that the device keeps dropping the connection. There are a ton of potential reasons for this and consequently there are a ton of potential fixes. Here’s what you can try:
Workaround:
Some people with stability issues have been able to get solid Wi-Fi connections simply by making sure that mobile data is switched off. Just drag down the notification shade and toggle Mobile data off.
Potential solutions:
Go to Settings > Wi-Fi and tap Menu > Advanced and then uncheck Auto network switch. That seems to have helped some people.
Try turning off the Note 3 and your router for a few minutes and then turn them both back on again.
Go to Settings > Wi-Fi and long press on the problem connection, then tell the device to forget it and set the connection up again from scratch.
Try out the free Wi-fi Analyzer app and see if crowded channels could be the issue. If so then change the channel on your router.
Make sure that your router firmware is up to date and check settings like MAC filtering.
If you’re having stability issues then you might try disabling the apps Wi-Fi Direct and Wi-Fi Direct Share via Settings > Applications manager on the All tab.

Thank you for the reply. Unfortunately nothing seemed to of helped.
I do not know how to tell which type of router I have. I can tell you it took many routers to find the right one (NetGear C3700). I went through a bunch of Time Warner crap and several from Best Buy......even Motorola's flagship modem/router. It needed to do the following:
Provide open NAT type for Xbox live
Allow my Android device to recognize the Xbox One as a device on my network (pics, vids & music through the console)
Allow Android Youtube app to communicate with the Xbox One Youtube app.
Allow proper connection to my iMac via Wifi (One of Time Warner routers would not work with my iMac)
My BT and Wifi havent worked the same since the KitKat update - Thanks again

You might try to old factory reset (which sucks I know) just backup first so if there is no change you can restore easy enough.
What ROM are you running? Stock?
Set your wireless channel away from everyone elses. There is a setting where you can just set it to just 802.11N save it. Try setting your wifi port to static for your device. Check your wifi settings on your device. Make sure your using the same channel on your device as for the router.

I've already tried a factory reset since the KK update (for Bluetooth issues). No help.
The phone is stock.
I've tried changing around the channels a little bit with no success so far. How can I change the channel on the device? How do I set the port to static for my device?
Thanks
