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.

In my situation, whenever I lose the connection, I am unable to connect to the internet completely; affecting not just the browser, but all apps as well.
Have you tried rebooting the prime or even your home network/router?

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.

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?

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.

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.

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.

Now, I know that this rom is still in an early Alpha stage, but as a test I left it on, unplugged with wifi on, not connecte (having that irritating bug where it won't connect to anything), to see how long the battery lasts, and I noticed 2 things.

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

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

Edit, here's my battery life for a similar period with wifi on.
Weird tapatalk bug. Ignore.
Scroll down the page to the link for gapps fixer, it should fix your calendar problem.

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

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

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

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

I have a very odd issue, if I connect to wifi, I can search the internet just fine but I cannot make phone calls or get text messages.

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

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

Sounds then like its using VOLTE and the inactive data is not properly selective.
Actually the issue came back so I just turn off wifi.
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?

There's no wipe cache in stock Recovery.

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. Pixel 6 128GB bought through Google, so which image do I downgrade to? I see there were two Nov 2021 global updates

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.
