Hi,
First of all don't shoot me for asking this, searching for 2 weeks now.
I'm trying to find out wich rom suits me the best. I tried CM10, CM9, Resurrection Remix, SlimICS, Slimbean and a few stock based ones.
All the roms i tried that are AOSP or AOKP give me the same problem. After a while wifi times out. The apps using this connection aren't even aware, they think they are still connected (gtalk for example). To be clear it is not the same problem as the wifi not working thing in Jellybean (bootloader).
Every where i searched (in-and outside XDA) i get thesame solutions: flash iCS first, use a static ip address, use wifi fixer, delete everything in data\misc\dhcp, use*#0011# (wich these roms dont even have)
on a stock based rom i don't have this problem at all. wifi stays connected for hours so its not a hardwareproblem.
Is there anyone who knows the reason for this problem? I tried with 2 completely different routers/networks but the problem remains.
I use the international variant GT-I9300
thanks in advance!
I've got a similar issue to this. Any help would be great.
Treare, how's your battery life since this issue started?
hi,
Well, i play so much with this phone that i have to charge twice a day. But this is since day 1 so hard to answer your question. When the phone is a little older i would be able to answer (when the playing becomes less)
did some more tests:
Hypergalaxy ICS: phone sleeping, wifi stays connected, no problems
Hypergalaxy JB: phone sleeping, wifi stays connected, no problems
Wanam ICS: phone sleeping, wifi stays connected, no problems
Wanam JB: phone sleeping, wifi stays connected, no problems
SlimICS: phone sleeping,wifi dropped, wifi icon says connected, all apps seem connected but aren't anymore
Slimbean: phone sleeping,wifi dropped, wifi icon says connected, all apps seem connected but aren't anymore
Liquidsmooth: phone sleeping,wifi dropped overnight, wifi icon says connected, all apps seem connected but aren't anymore
CM10: phone sleeping,wifi dropped overnight, wifi icon says connected, all apps seem connected but aren't anymore
Resurrection Remix: phone sleeping,wifi dropped, wifi icon says connected, all apps seem connected but aren't anymore
Temasek unofficial CM: phone sleeping,wifi dropped, wifi icon says connected, all apps seem connected but aren't anymore
Is there really nobody who has a possible fix please?
Hi,
How stupid can it be?
After hours and hours and DAYS of testing and flashing the only thing i did was changing TKIP/AES into TKIP on one of my routers. Never had any time outs anymore the last 2 days.
I never changed anything in my routers because every single device i have works without problems (3 laptops, 1 desktop, 3 symbian phones, 1 SGS2, 1 SGS3 with stock rom, a printer and a television).
So my conclusion is AOSP/AOKP/CM don't like AES (or TKIP/AES). Correct me if i'm wrong.

GTab running CM v7.0.3 Harmony.
WiFi just stopped working correctly out of nowhere. It'll go from "Scanning...", to "Connecting...", to "Disconnected", in an endless loop without ever actually connecting.
I tried just rebooting, and nothing. Tried even flashing back to stock (two different versions), then to the latest Nightly, then back to v7.0.3, then did a restore (just to get back to where I was), and all of them had the same issue. None of them had the ability to connect, and still with that same looping.
I even tried some program I found called "WeFi". No go with that either.
I've had this tablet since the 19th, working perfectly. On CyanogenMod7 the whole time. No major changes were made to the system.
Does anyone know of a fix or something that could get me back to functional WiFi?
I'd appreciate the help.
Thanks.
I realize this is not the correct section for this thread but id like to say yours is not an isolated issue. It happened to me with Vegan-Gingerbread edition and i flashed all the way back to Belkins 1.0 2638 (nvflash) and its still doing it.
Strangely enough, it works from my home but will NOT work at hotels airports etc (even though my my lap tops and phones etc will connect from those same locations. This has rendered my gtab nearly useless (without wifi its useless) even though i am familiar with nvflash and trying different roms..i have no idea why the wi-fi keeps looping into this "dead" behavior......
Delete...wrong thread. Lol
Strange, just recently I noticed the same thing, but mine tends to drop connection when using wireless tether via my phone. Even though wifi says connected any apps utilizing wifi will not connect. I have to shut off wifi & then turn it back on only to have it drop once more in less than 5 min. I know it's not the phones end because I can wifi tether to my laptop with no problems & I'm able to connect to my home wifi with no problems as well.
I'm running the latest nightly build of CM7 & have been using it since it was pushed out (June 25th I believe). No other ROM updates other than the usual app updates have been installed. This has been going on for about a week now.
No wifi on CM 7
Me too wi fi on the GTAB running CM7 died today. All other computers are connected.
miracle...now working.
Someone wrote me a PM and made a suggestion to delete user. I tried that, and removed my home network from the list. I also did a hard reset on my router.
The next day, it just worked. So who the hell knows. I'm glad in any case.
I've recently upgraded my Samsung Galaxy S II to Android 4.0.3 (COA - Romania) using Samsung Kies.
I sometimes have an issue:
- when I click the WiFi icon on status bar to activate wireless connection it partially gets green and stays locked for about 1-2 minutes. This happens every 6 or 7 attempts to connect using wireless. What can I do? I've already made a "Factory reset".
Another issue is:
- when I start wireless connection or the data connection from my network operator the phone locks and shuts down.
I know spotted these two issues cumulate: when Wi-Fi gets unresponsive and my phone's screen goes off, I can't start my phone.
After I restart it my battery is 14 percents lower.
Is there any solution?
same issues
I have the same issuses as described above by pykko, and beside that i have to charge my battery once in every 10-12 hours because it gets empty real fast. I don't play or watch movies on it. And i don't keep the mobile data or wireless on, only when i use them.
I have to mention that i didn't experienced these issues before updating to 4.0.3 (COA-Romania).
Any help would be apreciated. Thanks.
Many people have this wifi toggle issue including me but I read many posts saying that DXLP9 has fixed this issue.
you probably should upgrade or find a custom rom with DXLP9 base or u might wanna try VK's rom its XWLP9 but according to the posts they say its fixed .

Thats when ur phone sleeps and never wakes up, I also experinced this problem its refered to as SoD(Sleep of Death), it has been more common in XWLP9(kernel to sepcific)
My recommedation is for you to upgrade to a new rom DWLP9 or the other new ones which came after XWLP9
OR
or you can try a custom rom, I found VK's rom( http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1559009 ) its based on XWLP9 but not the kernel and its the same as the stock but themed to ICS, so I find it nice athough I didnt try it yet .
I bought a Samsung Galaxy S III while on vacation. I didn't really want a US model, since I already had a Galaxy S II and the only compelling reason I would upgrade was for the quad core Exynos.
Well here I am back States-side, and it's been working fine for a week or two. Last night I suddenly lost the ability to connect to WiFi networks.
Basically I can search for a connection, it will show up and say it's "Saved," but it will not connect, even if I manually choose the option. If I choose "Forget" and reconnect, it will connect briefly for a few seconds and promptly disconnect again.
I've tried the usual steps of rebooting, checking my network, etc. I've gone as far as reflashing the firmware which doesn't seem to fix my issue.
I have several other devices and none of those have issues connecting to my wireless network. I've tried a couple different AP products, including an Apple Airport Extreme, a Linksys WRT-600N, and a bunch of really old APs with a different chipset manufacturers, none which seem to work.
For OS, it's currently on Android 4.0.4 with the stock Samsung TouchWiz interface, no carrier customization.
Since returning/warranty for this device is out of the question, I am looking for a possible solution to my issue. I am not a big Android user. I used to be big on Symbian, and now I'm mainly an iPhone user. I have an Android phone to keep up with the times, so to speak. Is it possible I'm missing something? Could I have changed a setting that would cause my wireless issues?
Thanks!
(Tried searching this topic, didn't turn anything up)
I'm having the same problem too. Everything connects except for the S3. If I reboot the router it works for a day or so then the problem re occurs.
If you get disconnected meaning there's interference in the frequency range, you could change the channel so it doesn't overlap with your neighbors' or your other APs, remember any AP operating on the same channel or nearby channels in range is likely to cause signal to interfere with another AP's wifi signal.

I had similar problem. A factory reset fixed it.

I tried another factory reset and I'm still experiencing this issue. I'm a bit bummed out at the moment. I can't connect to other networks either. At least I have cellular data to work with for the time being, but I expect I'll get throttled sooner or later.

I don't think it's an interference issue.
Like I said, none of the other devices have connectivity issues. I haven't really changed my wireless setup for the last 10 years. Always the same channels (with difference channels for each overlapping AP—channels 1, 6, and 11). My cordless phones all use DECT which runs on 1.9GHz and I usually have Bluetooth off when at home. As for neighbors, the distance between our homes are far enough I am never really in range of their networks.
If enabled, turn off power saving
same problem as yours. i've replaced the kernel and still testing.
I have this problem, i think it's hardware problem, just updated the f/w hasn't made it better.
Try adding your wifi manually and select correct security protocol....it resolved an issue like this on my iphone4s.

it doesn't work for the SGS3, it's a known problem, i've checked a few sgs3 and some have this problem including mine, i'm changing my unit tmr.
Has there been any temp fix for this? I've been noticing this a lot more when using WhatsApp, usually you can see the last time your contact has been on, but it only shows if there is a current connection to the internet. When I'm connected to the wireless, it'll show up but after a while, I assume the wireless loses connectivity (sort of) and it won't show the last time they were on. The thing is though, I'm able to get to any pages like normal, so it doesn't actually lose connection.
Why don't you flash a better rom~~

Hello all together

ICS 4.0.4 STOCK
wipe data
wipe chache
wipe Dalvik
Permission fix
Flash paranoidandroid
flash gapps jb
flash hw compressor
Wlan ist broken
Then I created a backup of it.
Have again flashed back to stock 4.0.4 ics because I had suspected at the bootloader.
Ics 4.0.4 on it again as everything was wiped and the backup recorded. Again the bow
Then cm 9 installed as described

from CM9 paranoidandroid
still wifi bug
then back to stock and on CM10
end result
wlan goes
paranoid then flashed wireless bug

The short of it is, my Wifi crapped out for reasons beyond my experiences thus far.
The long of it. I flashed epinter's 07/25/2012 Nightly and everything seemed to be working nicely, Wifi especially. Then today, out running errands and dropped my Atrix in my Car Dock and attempted to turn on Bluetooth for the first time since flashing, and the device froze then restarted. Once back up, I tried turning Wifi back on, and the device froze again and restarted. Thinking maybe the radio driver went south, I grabbed epinter's 07/27/2012 build (epinter-cm10-20120727_1846-UNOFFICIAL-olympus.zip), and still no luck. Back into Recovery, Wiping everything and also factory resetting then flashing twice over again, boot up, still no wifi, and if it manages to seemingly fire up, the device hangs and restarts.
Within the last 2 hours (Been at this for about 12 hours now.) I grabbed Jokersax's build (Beta 0.1.0), wiped/reset/flash twice as I have before. Now as I take a breath I noticed that the Wifi Icon came up in the Notification bar, but when I go into Settings and Scan, I see none of the Networks around me. I looked under Advanced and noticed that my MAC Address is 'Unavailable' nor am I showing an IP address, even though Wifi is saying 'On'. Verified on my Router, my Phone is not connected to it.
Odd Side note, installed aLogcat just to see if I could catch any errors, and it is not giving me anything, that is, I am not seeing any logs through the app. Most likely an unrelated issue, but still a tad annoying.
Everything else seems in order, including Mobile Data (Able to access Web Pages, Market/Play Store, receive email, etc.). Just Wifi pretty much 'Lights are on, but no one is Home.'. Any suggestions on next steps?
We discussed this issue over in some other threads and conclusion is that it's a hardware malfunction Ur broadcom chip is burned,many people (including me) had that problem.

I need to really work on my searching, tried several variations of 'atrix WiFi cm10' and could not pin down a related thread.
But back on topic, CRAP! What I was hoping was not the case. Thanks for the reply, will continue to dig for those threads and cross fingers the chip really is not fried (doubtful but hey, people can dream right?).
Thank you for the reply.

I can't search the threads right now as i am typing from my phone-search is limited to 20-30 posts... But keywords for ur search should be : "atrix wifi error" or "wifi and bluetooth error on atrix" Several forums have this kinda threads,not just xda unfortunately ... seems like it's very often malfunction on this lovely phone. I couldn't repair my previous atrix so i bought another one.

We're talking fastboot wipe kind of clean install? Going to give that a go as a last attempt, will post results here.
Glimmer of hope tonight, was discussing the problem with a friend, went to turn on WiFi and it actually scanned and connected for about 2 minutes before crapping out. This tells me there maybe life to the chip still. Now to get fastboot to connect and try a wipe and see what happens.

Any news on this front? I am one of the afflicted as well.
I'm having a similar issue. though my BT works just fine, no delays, no errors, no intermittance.
Wifi, I can scan for networks just fine. i click on mine to connect. it shows connecting, noting that when it says connecting the signal shows 1 bar as compared to the full set of wifi bars when scanning, i am also right next to the AP. is tries connceting for about 20 seconds or so. then goes back to saying "saved" under the SSID, other networks showing "disabled" when this happens. i originally noticed this after flashing epinters cm10. i tried flashing 37p, 36p and 30p radios with no difference.
EDIT: also want to note that i HAVE disabled the "avoid poor connections" option. and have tried setting static IP.
I flashed the same and I am unable to get my wifi to work after clean wipe, radio install or anything else that I have tried. Could software have really burned up a wifi radio????

Mine works occasionally so I don't think the radio is dead. The rom just acts like it's not there most of the time and doesn't give a mac address. Sometimes it works though after a reboot. Would flashing a different radio help? My baseband version says N_01.77.37P
I had an IP and a MAC, but no wifi internet.
Using mobile data, I downloaded Set DNS and then enabled wifi, works fine.
Now it's working but mobile data is going very very slow, it took 5min to download Set DNS.
I have a skyrocket but the "no wifi" issue is probably the same - your not getting DNS
I'm going back to CM9 for now.
+1 wifi matter under CM10
Try rebooting the router.
Experienced same issue (unable to connect, showing full bars, dropping to 1 bar when connecting and never being able to complete a connection) rebooting my router has fixed the issue. I'm not technical but it might have to do with the DNS release for addresses .. in any case unplugging my router for a bit and restarting it fixed the issue for me.
From since two weeks ago I am having issues with the wifi in my phone. It happens that whem I am browsing Internet or watching videos with the Wifi on sometimes the phone stops connecting to the Internet. It cant connect, but the Wifi is still working, since the icon shows that it still is activated.
Also, when I restart the wifi conection, it starts working again, and again it stops after a while, which can range for two minutes to one hour.
This started to happen when I flashed Ultima ROM 16.0, but kept happening with oher ROMs I flashed, even with CM 4.2.2. I suspect that this is a problem of the XXUGMK6 modem. What do you think?

Thanks for correcting me. Then what could be the problem of his wifi. How it can be solved ? You have any idea
No but multiple identical posts may give an answer .
Mmm, I dont think this is a kernel issue, maybe because when I reinstalled the CM 10.1, it used cyanogenmods stock kernel and it still gave failures. So all is left to two options: the modem or the Wifi router. What do you think guys?
As a kernel, I use Boeffla Kernel 5.1 beta 7, for Sammy 4.3
