Hi
I have a Galaxy S2 running Cyanogen Mod 7.1 Nightly Build 116 - this seemed to run the L2TP/IPSec VPN with no real problems over my phone network, I now have the Siyah kernel 2.5.2 installed via CWM runs great good battery life - only problems I've found Google Books refuses to open - force close everytime and my VPN (L2TP/IPSec) refuses to work properly over the phone connection.
It connects correctly - and when I visit a website it loads for about 5-6secs then the phone hard locks I have to hold the power button down and then turn back on. Strangely this problem does not occur if I VPN over my home Wifi - works great
I am new so I cannot post (less than 10 entries) to siyah's development thread - does anyone have a similar issue? My only option is to redo the 116 build and stick with cyanogens standard kernel, unless someone has a solution (exactly the same problems with siyah 2.5.1 GT)
Thanks
HI Krazeyivan
I have similar issue while using my at&t variant galaxy s2/i777 which turns off after connecting to hideipvpn server using L2TP/IPSEC VPN. It used to work fine on my galaxy S device but not on s2 for unknown reason.
I tried the same settings on Xperia play and it works just fine.
I am hoping that someone would post a solution for this, if not I still have 29 days to return the device for another branded one. Until then fingers crossed.
Please post it here on the thread if you find any solution.
alternate solution i guess: strong VPN with PPTP VPN but there is no trial offer and you have to pay 21 usd for three months (min pckg). Dont know if it works for sure, but it has encryption disabled and DNS to be filled in, looks promising but i found some forums where people complain that strong vpn PPTP is useless.
alright cheers now
You should try the stock kernel from CM. There is not much difference anyway.
Stock kernel is no help for me, I've tried few roms and kernels mixed, But it doesn't fix
Hi everyone! I am new to this forum. I have something to ask.
Currently I am having an Xperia Ray. Rooted. Boot loader unlocked. Running Ray Onium v7 GB with Aire Kernel v7. Everything runs perfectly without a glitch.
However when I update to ICS, both stock ROM or Cook ROM (Ray Onium v6 ICS, JJ ROM 2.5 and team Kang ROM), I find that my wifi is not useable.
I'm sitting about 1m away from the router, the signal is excellent but I can't browse the internet or go to the market.
I have tried both with 4.0.3 and 4.0.4. However when I connect to an open network, everything is fine. I'm using WPA2 encryption for my Linksys 54g router.
Any help would be appreciated.
Thanks!

I have the same ussue in neo v. Conects fine and fast but there is no internet. All ok on GB but any ics is making that prob. Tried every single rom out there with all kernels and wifi modules

I've tried with SEUS, no luck.
The point here is that it gets connected very fast, however there is no internet. On GB everything is perfect.
I have the same issue, everything perfectly on GB.

I've been having similar problems with my wifi since updating to ICS. My problems are a little different though. WPA2 network here, the phone can see the network fine and it connects quickly, I can browse and stuff just fine, but every so often the network just /disconnects/. Usually it'll reconnect a few seconds later, but sometimes I have to open the wifi settings screen before it'll reconnect, and sometimes it doesn't reconnect at all. When it doesn't reconnect at all, the settings screen says my network is either out of range (it picks it up the moment I hit Scan) or had an "authentication problem", and I have to manually connect to the network.
Kinda weird and very frustrating, because sometimes I'm connected for hours without a problem, and sometimes I'm getting disconnected every few minutes.
When SE released their alpha and beta ICS roms, the wifi either didn't see my home network, or it saw my home network but couldn't connect, instead just infinitely cycling through "Connecting, Disconnected, Not In Range, Connecting"
Same problem happens regardless of what kernel or ROM I use, it happens in CM9, AOKP and every other ICS ROM I've tried. :/
A similar problem it seems...
When I want to download an app via Google Play simply it doesn't start. I touch back button and try to download it again and voila! The same fast wireless..
But it simply does not start at first try. Not only Google Play downloads but also all other internet using applications do that strange behaviour.
WPA2 and 801n

I have two Rays at home... one on GB and one on ICS.... the ICS one has the same problems, I think switching your wifi router to WEP seems to help and so is changing to B from N.. but then you lose higher speeds and security... but that does seem to help. On the other hand the GB ray has no problems whatsoever....
Hope this helps someone figure out a solution

Your welcome. I just also flashed official Nordic 4.0.4 from here... And my router has something called " protected mode", that is says helps for that- if WiFi signals are too many around. Try installing WiFi analytics from google play... It's free-
use a free WiFi channel.
Turn on such protected mode if you can
I also activated something called "intellistream" that prioritizes streaming in WiFi.
So far, it's going well. This way I kept the 801n and WPA security.
Before this, I was sitting 7-8 steps away from the router and kept dropping connections.
Hope it helps.... No expert here.... Joined the forum for the same reason...
tomorrow after work ill test as much scenarios as possible. it cant be router related since i have the same issue with 7 different routers. 0 problems with GB, always the same issue on ICS.
connected solid and sound, no dropping in signal, but no internet flow whatsoever.. this is the only thing that keeps me on GB -.-
Any progress?
Yeah same problem with me.
There's something wrong with ICS Rom, that needs to be fixed
Replace file
Unzip and copy this file in /system/bin (replace with original). This should fix the wifi connection. You will need root for this.
So far, so good

Hey there....
It's been working fine for me now with the above changes and the 4.0.4 Nordic ftf that I flashed from here.... the 4.0.3 does seem to have WiFi problems, but not the 4.0.4.
Hope it helps....
Hi everybody,
I'm having problems with my Tablet S when connecting to an OpenWRT wireless router (D-Link DIR-825). Half of all pings are getting lost (it's working for 10 seconds then for 10 seconds no pings are getting answered).
When using browser, i often have to reload page, because it is not allways loading at the first time.
Now I tried to temporarily connect my old Fritz!Box wireless router (on the same network). This is running flawlessly
So my question: Is somebody else running his/her Tablet with an OpenWRT device (with or without problems)? Any suggestions what could be going wrong here?
It's not openwrt, but I'm using a linksys wrt54g with ddwrt (v24-sp2 micro) and only having disconnect issues when large playing videos trought SMB sharing. Everything else is working fine. It's seems to have issues with high loads.
In others routers I didn't get this problem.
I'm also using DD-WRT and no problems at all, even with ICS , if anything I have slightly better reception now
I'm not running OpenWRT, but my custom *nix router is working flawlessly.
Check that you don't have any QoS rules or weird firewall rules set and see if that fixes your problems.
Hey guys I've recently checked that there's a new version 15 of openwrt........so I want some things to be cleared..
1.) Is there any size increment with this version..
2.) Will it be updated over Stone age version(3.8)
Lol...
My router is iBall-baton iB WRA 150 N adsl2+ single band router (best most selling and 30$)...
Ok it is nothing but a clone/rebranded version of TP-Link TP-WR741 and some guy at wrt forums posted mod file but the user is inactive and his links too..... i just wanna know if i am good to go... im over stock firmware.......and main concern is that WILL THAT ROUTER HAVE ENOUGH INTERNAL MEMORY TO FACE AND STORE LATEST WRT VERSION 15.**** ......IM Impatient to try out but is covered with dark cloud of fear of bricking......and if i did such thing,dad will kick me out of the house...seriously..thats why consultancy was the best option i was with....im on stock firmware version 3.0.0 and thats barely 2mb....and the version on site and the factory default version is same.... I'm not sure that is it full or a patch.. but i hope you can answer this question..

Same problem whit Android devices in wifi. I tried Gargoyle, LEDE, Open WRT and DD-WRT
I have TP-Link Archer C7
Any solution?
Hello Enzo, I don't have that router anymore. With new routers the wi-fi problems have gone away...
XDA, you really are my last hope.
I use my phone as my primary internet device. Tethering works fine for 15 mins and then one of two things happens:
1) Computer doesn't load webpages (stuck on looking up....). Have to turn my computer's wifi off and on again.
2) Tethering is still 'on' but the hotspot vanishes (have tested this on more than one computer) have to turn wifi off and on again.
Problem number two is by far the most frustrating but both are seriously annoying as I cannot play online games or download files and my girlfriend work is constantly interrupted.
I have tried:
1) using FoxFi - Works but same issues as native tethering software.
2) Rooting and using barnacle, wifi tether, OpenGarden WiFi (get 'could not set ad-hoc mode of wlan0: op. not supported on transport endpoint.)
3) Turning off fast dormancy (no difference).
4) Setting Wi-Fi to always on.
5) Turning off Wifi Power save mode.
6) Searching google, asking reddit, searching XDA, crying.
If you can fix this once and for all, I'll send you $10 over paypal (if that's not against the XDA T&Cs). I'm a poor student, but I am THAT desperate.
Many thanks.
New Samsung Galaxy S3 (International GT-19300).
UK 3 Network - The One Plan.
HSPA+ Area.
Stock firmware, Android 4.04
Build: IMM76D.19300XXBLH3
Rooted (problem both before and after root)
Tell me if you need more information.
And I will press that thanks button, you have my word!
Last one.
I don't have a solution for you, but I can share my experiences regarding the same problem you are having. I also tether a lot and for that, this phone has been awful thus far. I have pretty much given up on wifi tethering for now and am tethering using bluetooth since that seems to be working MUCH better for me. So do give bluetooth tethering a try too if it's possible for you.
I get random drop outs in my mobile data connection - this happens all the time, also when I'm not tethering. I have been trying out different modems to help with this, and now I have found a modem that works pretty well for me. I'm using XXDLIB firmware (Jelly Bean) and have found that the modem that works best for me is XXDLI4.
Maybe through additional testing of different modems I would be able to find one that works even better, but I've been doing this for a long time now and getting pretty tired of it!
Wifi tethering for me on DLI4 modem is now OK - not great, not even good - just OK. It feels much slower than bluetooth tethering and is still unreliable so I go with bluetooth for now.
Sorry if this wasn't helpful at all... :angel:
I just got into ErfanROM (Stock 7.1) and it's really an awesom job. The ROM is really fluid.
However, since I installed it, not only this ROM but every other that I flash in my phone ends up getting WiFi connectivity issues.
Apparently, WiFi with WPA2 keys just can't find a way to authenticate. Can anyone lend me a hand?
PS.: All other devices connected to the network can still connect to wifi with no problems.
Thanks a lot
Any differences with open networks and/or with 5 GHz ones?
