Hi yea my touchpad running newest nightly build has problems and Wifi works for a while then it doesn't connect and stops working. Is there anyway to fix this problem?
Go to development section, flash supreme mod (try multiple versions, version 1.3 gives me the best wifi and batt life). This will replace your entire build.prop. You should probably make a nandroid first.
Another option is to reflash a ROM. You (probably) don't have to wipe data, but you should wipe cache, dalvik, and make a nandroid first.
Either of these options should get your wifi back up and running.
You can download the new Ath6kl wifi driver update v2.9
It works for me.
Don't forget if you haven't already to check your router and use the lower channels (I suggest 1-3), and set your regulatory domain to 11 (if you're in North America, that is). That also has a tendency to fix the wifi issues.
Then again, I noticed myself that the wifi wasn't quite as potent today as it was with yesterday's build... oh well, let's see what tomorrow brings.

I've done some searching but haven't been able to find a solution to this issue.
Basically, the wifi on my phone just 'dies' after a minute or so with any rom or kernel that I flash other than stock. It even dies after flashing CWM or DD/Siyah kernel onto stock rom.
Any ideas on why??? My Captivate was like a tank and stood up to all sorts of flashing abuse and bad flashes. It seems this sgs2 is similar...with the exception of the wifi. On all roms but stock it seems that if I disable the wifi, then re-enable it then it will work for a minute...then die again. very frustrating.
please give me some clues
Thanks,
What router do you have? And what rom's have you tried?
Have you tried using other modems for our phone? Just wondering if maybe your router only likes the stock modem and when you're flashing other roms, it might be changing you to a modem your router disagrees with. It's just a suggestion, trying to think outside the box. There are two sets of modem builds, just make sure you get the right ones for the right roms. Also try flashing the stock KH7 modem back over the custom rom. I'm no developer so WTF do i know. Just trying to help a brother out. Good luck.
I've tried with both an Asus RTN12 as well as an older Airlink 101. Both B/G/N routers which I've tried the stock firmware as well as dd-wrt. They are setup using channel 1, WPAPSK/AES. Behavior is the same whether the router is set to 20Mhz or 40Mhz. Both routers are based off an RaLink chipset. I don't have a router based on Broadcom (yet).
As for Roms....
UnNamed
ICScrewD
ICS'd out
Coz
Serendipity
By modem I assume that's listed as 'baseband' in the about section of the settings. Stock shows KH7. I've flashed the stock kk6 rom and just checked and it remains kh7 (flashed with Odin).
I did an OTA update to kk6 but neglected to check the modem that was installed with it.
Regardless, the wifi worked as designed under both older and newer stock roms.
I'll flash a rom this weekend and then flash modems to see if I can narrow it down. I'm in the process of moving so the next day or two are sort of out of the question
I personally like WPA2 better (especially with dd-wrt), but to each their own. What do you have your wifi-sleep policy set to? (settings>Wireless->Wifi settings>Press menu button->advanced.)

Sorry, it is WPA2PSK, but I've tried both.

If your phone is a Samsung i777 AT&T model and you want to get
your wifi working properly then simply download UnNamed v2.2.1
custom rom which is the very best custom rom currently available
for our phones. The UnNamed rom also has superior battery life.
The UnNamed v2.2.1 Custom Rom is not only the most stable and reliable
custom rom but it's also the most aesthetically pleasing rom which is currently
available for our phones. (i777 AT&T)
Since you have tried so many things already be sure that before flashing
another rom that you go into settings>privacy and select "factory data reset".
Then be 100% sure that you have done a "wipe data/factory" reset using
CWM Recovery before flashing another custom rom.
After you flash the UnNamed rom you will no longer have any wifi problems at all.
Be sure that after flashing the rom you make a nandroid backup of the rom
before you install any apps and or before for who knows what god forsaken reason
you should want to change or flash a different kernel rather than leaving it alone
and use the excellent kernel which the rom comes with.
Good Luck!
You sound like an advertisement for UnNamed
Seriously though...I have tried UnNamed from 2.1.1 to 2.2.1
ICScrewD from 1.4 to 1.6.1, etc.
Wifi completely breaks if I flash the CWM or any kernel over the stock. I've flashed so many roms, kernels, and modems over the past 2 weeks I couldn't even begin to count how many.
Just out of curiosity, have you tried connecting to wifi on a different router, like at work or a friends house...? Have you tried resetting your routers? With all that you've tried, it's just strange that you still can't get a connection.

I intentionally left the baseband separate from my UCKK6+root package because people often want to run a different modem than system.
Flashing a new baseband will do nothing for wifi - everyone who tells you that is too accustomed to HTC phones where Qualcomm AMSS runs EVERYTHING.
It's strange if anything but stock fails for you... UCKK6 wouldn't surprise me because it has all sorts of weird BCM4330 (wifi/bluetooth) problems, but I haven't heard of wifi regressions with my kernel when flashed on UCKH7.

Yeah... It's a little annoying. Yeah, Unnamed is an excellent firmware, but "best" is a matter of taste. It's funny that he's pimping a firmware when the firmware dev almost blocked him for that damn penis-gecko.

Logging into a router at work wont do any good since i work from home. the neareat open wifi network is out of range. I did log in to chic fil a once but unfortunately i dont remember the reaults....my mind was focused on lunch.
I have also reset both routers i have here. tried different firmwares foe the routers as well but got the same result...but both of my routers are based on ralink chipsets. two different ralink chipsets at that, but still made by ralink.

I forgot to mention, before you flash the UnNamed v2.2.1 custom rom
be SURE to flash the ODIN based CWM Recovery kernel, not the
CWM flashable kernel to start with.
(because who knows whiich kernel you have now since you have flashed so many)
Below is the ODIN flash CWM Recovery kernel which you should have
flashed in the first place when coming from the stock to custom rom.

Try resetting the security type in the wireless modem/ router to a personal wireless security and try it out. I had some issues with Wifi but after the resetting of the router, the wifi has been working fine.
In the advanced wifi settings, enable up to channel 14, and set your router to channel 11+40mhz (150mbps) and see if that works. Channel 1 might have too much interference for this phone or something... not sure.
Correct me if I'm wrong but aren't channels beyond 11 for out of US region?
Sent from my SAMSUNG-SGH-I777
From Wikipedia "In the USA, 802.11 operation in the channels 12 and 13 is actually allowed under low powered conditions. "
And its not like the FCC drives around looking for routers broadcasting in those channels, our routers are too weak to broadcast that far. But you're just enabling up to channel 14, doesn't mean that you're going to use it.
WiFi Fail MAC address Bluetooth address Unavailable
I am basically at the same point..WiFi Fail..It will scan and then turn back off. Started off with a stock phone..Followed the customizations steps..No problems reading the Flash Counter..Ran step 2c..It worked Great..passed..had UCKH7 but had no WiFi..Did the wipe data/factory reset as mentioned in other threads and WiFi returned..Then I did the OTA update to UCKK6 and WiFi was still working. So I downloaded Mobile Odin Pro from the market so I could complete step 3a. I had already extracted the zImage from Entropy's 1208 DD and placed it on my sd card. Ran MO on the phone selected the zImage and it ran flawlessly. I am still rooted and have CWM 5.0.2.7..but the WiFi shuts off again shortly after turning it on..So I tried the wipe data/factory reset again but it did not help this time. As far as I can tell everything else works great on the phone, calls, texts and so on...But after looking at some of the about phone settings..I noticed that both the MAC address and Bluetooth Address lines show unavailable...and I think that is why the WiFi shuts back down shortly after turning it on..Now I was going to move onto step 4 and flash UnNamed ROM for practice and then go back to stock using the guide..but I was wondering if I missed something important that caused the WiFi issue
What are the first 6 characters of your mac address? (on stock) At this point... I'm thinking they might have changed the wifi chip or something...

Currently under... Settings..About Phone..Status..Wi-Fi MAC address & Bluetooth address show "Unavailable"
But since I have an access list enabled on my router...I would say my MAC address started with 04:46:65 I'll be able to verify that when I get it back.
I'm going to try another wipe and a different Entrophy Kernel and see what happens. I know I can get WiFi back by going through the steps again and I enjoy all the tinkering..so I just wanted share some of the stuff I was seeing.
Hey gang. Have to post this here until the post count goes higher.
I've been installing the updates for DSC as they are released, due to the nagging wifi freeze issue. Everything else works great.
However, something changed after .63b, perhaps the wifi_supplicant mod?
While at work, no ROM after .63b will authenticate to the WIFI. It scans and attempts connect 3 times, then goes to disabled.
Re-running ROM install for 63b and then new DSC_Test.zip (I like reboot menu option) works like a champ. Wifi freezes still occur, but are relatively infrequent. I'm on 406 Baseband.
As such, I'm unable to install the new .7, or anything after .63b.
I haven't seen anyone else mention a similar problem, perhaps they're only dealing with a single network. I use two, my home network and work network. My home network is WPA2 AES encryption, and seems to work fine with updated ROMs. My work network, nothing after .63b.
Just tried .7b again, nothing.......reloaded .63b, wifi fine.
Just wanted to bring this up. Thank you all so much for your efforts. Still the best ROM, and the best ROM support available.
Have you tried flashing Olleh kernel from Phoenix release post?
I believe I have, but was a while ago. I'll go try it again, to be sure. Thx.
UPDATE: tried several updated kernals, no avail. As soon as .6b, then .63b go on, my WIFI connects immediately. It's not in the kernal, but the ROM/framework.
I recommend a factory reset after flashing .7
Let's check this:
http://www.littlemaruko.com/Nopteam/DSC_Check.zip
--
It will revert WiFi-related binaries to 407.
--
And be sure to flash Olleh kernel, it's the only actual thing that was changed in 0.64b

Ya, I had done resets and cleans installs on the earlier releases after .63b, all had the same issue...WIFI connects to home network, but not work network (801.x EAP)
As everything is configured and re-installed now, its easier to reload .6b and .63b, without reloading everything.

Looks like you're onto something here. Have both the Olleh kernal and the DSC_Check loaded and my work WIFI authenticated properly.
Since changing 2 things at once isn't proper troubleshooting protocol, I reloaded .7b. WIFI problem came back. Reloaded DSC_Check (not Olleh Kernal), and WIFI is fine now. So there's something in those binaries my work network wouldn't authenticate to.
If I can help you figure it out, I will. All working now though. You the man!
It's enough info. I'll revert to 407 wifi binaries in future releases.
--
I just wish we figure it out before 0.7 release

Sorry about that......it was the .7 release not working that finally motivated me to speak up.

OMG!!! I was hitting my head all of yesterday. I converted my home network to WPA2-Enterprise (801.x EAP) after installing OpenLDAP and FreeRadius on my servers for AAA and keep getting the connect 3 times and then disabled. It appears from my FreeRadius logs that it send a challenge to my AP which then perhaps sends it to the DS5 and something happens there that is out of spec.
I started using DSC at .65b and that also had the same issue before I went to .7 yesterday. No idea that this would have worked on .63b.
Thanks man for helping me eliminate the LDAP or FreeRadius as the issue since these had passed with other test tools.
Hey guys,
was running Fresh 5.3.1 and went to CM 10 stable.
I did the following prior to this:
1. updated radio for s-on devices via TWRP to get to latest version
2. factory reset
3. wiped system
4. wiped cache + dalvik
5. flashed cm10
6. booted, download Titanium backup
7. Titanium complain about seeing an android device ID mistmatch and said it would fix it so I said yes
8. Observing that I cannot connect to LTE network (it won't connect and won't fail back to 3g). I can only connect to 3g when LTE isn't available. EDGE works fine.
9. Also noticing that the device doesn't switch APs well at all like my old stock ROM or FreshROM did. (It will hang on to a WIFI AP that has a weaker signal).
Anyone else having these issues? Should I not change the device ID with Titanium? Is that the cause?
TIA.

UPDATE 1: Also installed / flashed gapps for JB in there
UPDATE 2: I'm also running radio (baseband) 1.12.11.0809 (latest I believe). Never had any issues like this with any other ROM I've tried (stock, Fresh, OMJ, pokerom) ...
UPDATE 3: Going to try again without restored Android ID
UPDATE 4: I wiped and reflashed and did NOT restore previous Android ID via Titanium Backup and now 4G LTE works fine but I'm still having the WiFI AP issues - seems like this ROM doesn't have logic on the client side wifi stack to look for a stronger AP with the same BSSID and switch to it - I thought it was a native function of the spec but I guess not.
Now GPS doesn't work this release isn't what i would call stable
EDIT: Went into a sense based ROM and did the ##GPSCLRX# code from the dialer app, then using msl reader put in the password and after this got a GPS lock in maps then went back to cm10 and GPS is working fine again...
A few days after working all these kinks out it seems to be much better... definitely a rough start!
EDIT 2: Stock camera app is having problems... Requires rebooting the phone but third party camera apps seem to work fine.. Also intermittently having an issue where the phone seems happy to have no data connection even though it's clearly available (won't get 4G, 3G or edge)...

if you want an answer you need to be posting your questions in the CM10 thread in the development area.
I am currently using CM 10 custom rom and I cant get my bluetooths to work where i can hear someone talking to me using it.
This is my 3rd set of different BT headsets and I now believe that its this phone rather than the BTs itself.
Does anyone have any suggestions other than remove the BT and re-pair it because i have done this a hundred times so far and it not done anything?
if CM 10 is not a good rom to use with this phone can someone point me in the right direction to find the best rom for this phone?
Thanks:
i don't know if you've been reading about all the major issues CM10 is current facing since we finely managed to get data fixed.. some peoples bluetooth might still be broken or bugged (i havent checked all week because ive been busy with the Q&A section)... if you want a stable rom you'll have to go through the roms and see what bugs they still have if any.. i'm pretty sure only a few rom's are "stable" without alot of issues

Try installing the bluetooth fix on top of Sport's latest unofficial CM10 (currently 1-11-2013).

http://goo.im/devs/Sportsstar89/Ruby/CM10
Bluetooth fix:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=36453480&postcount=3005
Be sure to do a full wipe (data, dalvik, cache) using 4ext recovery and have SmartFlash enabled when flashing CM10. You might know this already but just covering the bases... so:
1. Full wipe
2. Flash CM10 from zip
3. Flash BT Fix
4. Try using bluetooth
5. Post results in CM10 bugs thread
I don't know why you suspect the bluetooth not working is a hardware problem but if you want to be certain the best thing to do would be to do a full wipe, flash stock RUU and try to use your bluetooth headset. Once you could confirm that bluetooth radio is functioning you would then move forward with testing it on CM10.

Hi Thanks for replying so quickly.
If you look at the screenshot that i have attached.
Im running the latest CM 10 verision
Cant i just flash the BT fix or do i really have to redo the whole rom install all over again?
Thanks
I have had nothing but pain and suffering since deciding to install CM 10.2 last night. I installed the latest stable version of CM 10.2.2 as well as the google apps pack and after several wipes (system, cache, data), it finally worked. The issue that I am not having is that it wont connect to the Verizon network.
I think the issue may be that in Mobile Network Settings>CDMA Subscription it is set to NV, and won't let me switch to RUIM/SIM. Another clue is that in the About Phone section, Baseband version is UNKNOWN. Any ideas?
EDIT: Ok, I updated to the latest CM version via the CM update process on the phone. looks like i am now on CM11 and i have network connectivity, though it is 1 bar of 3G. And now the google play store keeps throwing errors so i have to uninstall it.
I thought CM was a polished ROM that I could just install and go. I am now considering going with something else since I still cant get it working right.

You definitely want to be using CM 11! 10.2 is ancient at this point.
As for your problems. First, Sense based ROMs apparently show more bars for the same signal strength. To know if it is actually worse, you need to compare the numeric (db) signal strength. Second, did you also flash a kk gapps package?
I would recommend downloading the latest gapps-kk-* from http://goo.im/gapps and then in recovery do:
* factory reset
* format /system
* install cm 11 version of your choice (latest nightly or M8)
* install gapps
And see if that makes your life a little better.
Thanks for taking the time to respond. The reason i went with 10.2 is it was the latest "stable" version on CM's website. I wasn't sure what "snapshot" meant so i didnt do any of those. Then i eventually did download and flash the kk gapps but was still having issues.
I am following your steps above to start fresh again, though I was still having issue with the radio before though, so we will see if this helps.

Well, everything seemed to install ok and phone booted fine but I have no mobile network. I do have data if i monkey around with the Preferred Network Type setting, but regardless, when i try to make a phone call, it says there is no mobile network. does anyone have the recommended settings for verizon?
