...why the wifi problem is sporadically happening in the JB ROMS?
I have tried most of the leaked and modded ROMS from early CM10 to Faryaabs Supernexus builds to the latest leaked firmware on 29th Aug.
However, whichever leak it was that first exhibited a wifi problem for the (unlucky) select few seems to have knackered my chances of connecting to wifi properly on all subsequent JB ROMS - even if wifi worked before. eg. Supernexus build 2 was all good on the wifi front, I only had probs with a few bugs and the camera lag. I flashed it again today though to find that it doesn't want to let me connect to my router.
This was the same with Omega v16, v16.1 and v17.
It seems to be reported that it is connected to router security settings and I know there is a 'fix' out there for it but the fix that I tried only made the wifi slightly better and was peppered with 'unable to establish secure connection' warnings when out and about.
Can anyone add to this or highlight an alternative solution? I have spent the last 30 or so evenings religiously reading the forums and if anything I'm a bit confused and bewildered
I'm on Omega v13 atm and cannot fault it (but I want Google Now) and I attach a snap of my current set up in case it has a bearing on where I'm going wrong.

No?
Well if it helps anyone I eventually found a work around.
After numerous different combinations of ROM, kernel and modem is finally got wifi working on a JB ROM
I was using Omega v13 and then I flashed the latest Siyah kernel ( http://db.tt/PgmwhO96).
After this I have been able to flash JB based ROMS over the top with no issues with wifi whatsoever

Sorry to bother the community with something thats probably a waste of time. But I need a professionals help/advice. I just recently got the Amaze from a relative and it was on GB when I recieved it. The stock kernel worked just fine, I was able to connect to wifi perfectly with no hassles. But as soon as I recieved the OTA ICS it stopped working.
I did some research and found out the ICS kernels dont like certain settings on WiFi routers, but for the life of me I couldnt find what settings worked. So I decided to S-Off and Root. I installed fauxs kernel at the time which was v008 and everything worked again! Wifi was good but a little spotty at times. But as faux continues to develop awesome kernels the latest just does not work with my wifi router.
Does anyone have any clue on why the kernel does not like my router? I have a DLink, also anyone know how to combine faux kernels v008 to the latest v11. At least I could try to get the modules that worked in v008 and make a hybrid with v11 so I could get the best of both worlds.
Ive actually tried to combine the two kernels in many ways but keep coming up with "WiFi error" when trying to turn it on.
I am certain that some where someone has done this but ive tried Googling it and tried advance searching through XDA but cant find anything that actually helps me understand how to.
Thanks again!

Have your tried to setup WiFi Manually? You know type in the network id then password. It should work. That's how I got mine to work with faux latest build.. but I have a netgear router so that could also be a factor. But its worth a shot.

Did you copy the modules from version 8 to version 11? Or replace them ?

Actually No I have not tried that. Will do now. I will let you know what happens.
Edit:
So I tried to flash v11 and flashed it twice. Rebooted afterwards. Told the WiFi to forget my router. Did it manually and still the same thing.

Yes I have actually tried to copy the whole Modules folder from v008 to v11 and no go. I get "WiFi Error" once that happens I have to re install the whole rom again.
I even tried to do copy the Modules folder from v008 to Kozmiks kernel, just for sh*ts and giggles. Major fail. Same thing "WiFi Error."
Basically any kernel (even stock) but v008, the WiFi scans connects to my router. Go to test it out . Google page loads about 1/4th of the way and just chokes.
Wow 164 reviews and only 2 ppl have tried to help. Thanks XDA.

hey, I tried to help in your other thread.. the kind of security you are using on your router(there are so many options, some of which android just can't handle), the kind of router.. there are so many factors involved that may be the issue.
We can try to help you out, but besides switching modules from the version of the kernel that is working for you to the newest release, the "why" is beyond anyone but a kernel dev.. there's only so much the community can do.

I don't know if this would help but maybe if you change the broadcast channel on your router perhapsk
Flash 8 thru 11 cuz 8 was messy n 9 was good but 10went back to stock module's,n 11 its the good one

SBD I did thank you though sir. Everyone thank you for your information as well. I'm just going to give up on it really. Ive tried many ways to configure my router. Ive reset the whole router more than 10 times back to Default settings and messed with the settings in every way possible.
The D-Link Dir-601 is old anyways perhaps I just need a new router. Just doest make sense on why one kernel works and One version of the phone works as well. Stock GB or Modded GB from NRG works. ICS just doenst like it for one reason or another.
I think ive managed to make a hyrbrid of V8 and V11 faux123 kernels. Combined moduels and the zImage from the Kernel folder as well. Some how the zImage made it bootable. Not sure if in V11 kernel makes the cpu1 go offline. but it does. Ill let ya'll know what happens

Welp, title says it all.
The infamous, unresolved issue of Wi-Fi saying "error" under it in the settings.
Issue occurred first on unrooted stock(when I was give the phone), so I rooted it in hope I could somehow fix it via kernel flash, rom flash, or by other means.
I've practically flashed every kernel, every rom, tried several apps, and still running into this issue.
I would rely souly on Wi-Fi for internet access, seeing how I do not want Big Red up my arse with a contract(sticking to my Optimus V on Virgin Mobile running JellyBean).
The phone has no SIMcard, a 2GB sd-card, and is running the newly leaked BAMF ICS rom(installed in hopes of at least using bluetooth tether with my Optimus V for internet, but BT is broken on the leak).
I've searched every android forums on the web, read several dead end threads, saw even more that were unanswered.
Its as if this issue is purposely avoided being resolved.
I at least want someone to attempt to help, or give me the definitive answer of "you're poop out of luck, and there is no solution."

It's usually fixed by a kernel flash so im assuming its a hardware error

I've flashed several different kernels(mixing and matching several froyo & gingerbread kernel/ROM combos), which would you recommend?

Hi guys ! I recently installed the miui ROM and noticed that wireless is not working anymore. It finds the network , connects to it but it keeps saying obtaining IP address. First I tough that it was the ROM's fault but I installed the super nexus ROM(which I had before and had no problem with the WiFi) and I had the same problem.I tried it in different places and the problem persists.
Try a stock ics Rom first. I seem to remember this from the cm 10 forums.

IIRC it has to be ICS, something in that release makes the difference.
OK but.I'm not home right now(using network data) I will announce you tomorrow.
I have installed almost all ICS based roms and excepting Xperia ICS and HeHappy rom (yeah, the old one - stable.. I cant find it ), my wi-fi connection is really-really slow with these roms (sometimes it takes even one minute to connect a website, and I cant watch video on Youtube (even in low quality)
In all gingerbread and froyo roms - there is no problem with my wifi connection (its a high speed wifi).
Now, its just me or you guys have the same wifi problem? I dont use 3g to connect on web. Its a bug or what? its very weird...
Nope, never had that kind of a problem, been using ics roms for a long time now, have u tried reflashing with wiping everything?

No problem here, with any of the ROMs I've tried.
BTW, which hephappy ROM is the one you said you can't find?
used many ics roms and didnt have any issues
for hephappy's and many others go to clockworkmod.com
I've never seen any major difference in WiFi reception in the ROMs that I have used in the past. I seem to get slightly better reception than I used to in GB ROMs.

Hey all,
WiFi Tethering for me is still not working at all on CM10 or AOKP, I've tried going from Official JB and CheckROM JB, bit no cigar.
What installation steps/precautions do I have to take to make it work?
Thanks in advance all.

So far as i've seen on the CM10 thread, it used to work (september?) but has since stopped at the result of some merges or cleaning of code. Consensus seemed to be that there was no obvious problem to fix, and not enough enthusiasm to really investigate without more sources from Samsung. (and since this is wifi driver code, that may be some time in coming).
Would be great to hear otherwise, but i think it's a case of wait, make do with BT tether, or back to stock based ROM.
Anyone confirm or otherwise?
