I have a problem with the Wi-Fi but it might be related to my particular device and not ROM (especially CM) related. I have the latest nightly Cm 10.1 installed.
Whenever I connect to wireless networks, whether at home, work or the coffee shop, the signal bar goes gray and then blue as it is supposed to, to indicate that it is connected to the Google services. However, after a short while, it disconnects from the Google servers (signal bar turns gray) and loses the connection to send/receive data. I have to turn the Wi-Fi off and on again in order to establish a connection. This happens every time. Does anybody else have this problem? Any solutions?
Note: I keep the Wi-Fi on during sleep setting at "Always" and I did not check the "Avoid poor connections" checkbox.
Thanks!

Here's the outline of the problem:
I'm able to use the wifi to browse the internet and whatever. I turn the screen off and wait maybe half an hour. When I turn it back on, it says it's still connected to my wifi network, but I can't go to any websites. When I look at my Elixir widget, I see that the signal strength is 0%. The only way to fix it is to turn off the wifi and turn it back on, since there's no disconnect button.
Does anyone else have this problem, and is there a solution?
It's like the phone is half asleep and was about to disconnect from the wifi network, but stopped somewhere in the middle.
Seems to be a major problem for a select few on gingerbread roms. I suffer from it on DSC 0.65. A workaround for it is to use WiFi Reassociate (free on the market). For more information look here:

Hi guys. My 4.0 player suddenly stopped connecting to the internet. It recognizes and connects to Wi-Fi but every time I try to access the internet it says "No Connection". Any ideas on how to fix this?
No idea other than to just check Settings --> Wireless and network --> Wi-Fi settings --> Wi-Fi networks to make sure that you're actually signed in. I've walked out of range of my router and then when I came back it did not reconnect. Wi-Fi icon still there, no apparent errors, but no LAN connection. Then again, I have a junk router, so that may have had something to do with it.
Make sure you don't have a static IP set up, that can sometimes cause it.

Im currently running latest paranoidandroid ROM and it seems that several times a day my signal and data goes color grey, while im in this status, i cannot receive any whatsapp or any connection whatsoever, i can receive calls tho.
Any idea how can i fix this ?
PD: same thing happened with latest rootbox ROM
I've noticed the same on multiple ROMs. It will be grey for a second or two then turn blue. I assumed it just meant it was in the process of connecting (e.g. wifi authorizing etc).
If for example I am connecting to a hotspot at Starbucks, I can connect to the wifi and the wifi bars will be grey. Then once I "login" to the Starbucks wifi where you agree to the terms and conditions, it gives you full internet access. That's when my bars turn blue.
It might be similar to the "limited connectivity" you get in Windows, connected to the network but with no internet access.
Though I might be completely wrong

Well yeah, actually, in my case, this does not only happen when connecting to wifi, it does happen at random times of the day. This is kind of annoying cause i lose data conectivity for a while and am unable to receive any kind of internet-related notification. :S
Anyone ?
My signal and Wi-Fi bars turn blue only when they're full. If i lose one bar they will turn grey. I lost Wi-Fi connectivity when I put to sleep my phone and fixed it by changing the keep connected while suspended in the advanced settings.
I seem to be getting the same sort of wifi issues as previously stated elsewhere in this forum. I cannot hold a wifi connection on the 2.4ghz band fro more than 20s before its dissociated (ie i still have full connection to the router (3 bars) but cannot get through to the internet). This happens no matter what router i am connected to, whether its at home or at work.
I have tried:
[*]Setting the Wifi optimization checkbox off. No difference
[*]Avoid poor connections is off. No difference.
[*]Stamina mode is off. No difference.
[*]Keep Wifi on during sleep is set to Always. No difference.
[*]Sleep timeout to 30mins. No difference.
[*]I have factory reset the phone. No difference.
[*]Repaired the phone firmware with PC Companion. No difference.
I have also check to see if it is my router at home. I have switched between every channel available which made no difference. Security is Wpa/Wpa2 PSK AES which makes no difference. I only have the 2.4ghz available on that router at home (same at work).
My Note 3 and HTC One connect to both routers with no problems at all and do not drop out. Same goes with Sony Vaio Laptop.
I have installed Wifi Fixer on my Z2 to see if it can alleviate the problem and it does somewhat. instead of manually having to turn on and off the wifi toggle to reestablish a connection, the Wifi Fixer does it for me.Approx. every 20-30s in its log it will show the phone "dissociating" from the router, and the the app tries to "reassociate" the connection.
I can connect through wifi transfer to my Note 3 without issue, and the same goes for my TV, so it cant be a hardware fault, as the connection is still excellent strength for both (as well as the router, tested with Wifi Analyzer). This is a very frustrating problem as it makes watching youtube movies impossible, and hotspotting, skype calls, etc.....
And dont even get me started on the bluetooth dropouts. I am disconnected from a bluetooth connection every 66-70s without fail no matter what i try. No issues with my Note 3 and HTC One in the exact same conditions. It will disconnect then reconnect straight away with a delay of about 3 seconds, which makes calls and listening to music a VERY unpleasant experience.
Any ideas on how to fix this? I love everything else on this phone but this wifi/bluetooth connection issue is making it unusable. :crying:
I am on the .55 baseband version if that helps anyone
Hey everyone, I got myself a Z2 recently and have been very happy about it for the most part. However, some things seem to not function a 100% the way it's supposed to.
Some times after it's been to sleep and I try browsing online with it using either 3g/4g or wifi the phone says it has a connection, but nothing loads. All I have to do to solve this is to refresh the wifi/3g connection manually, and then it works. It's rather annoying to always go through that procedure every time I want to use my phone, so I'm wondering is there anything I can do about this? Or anyone experienced anything similar?

I have the same issue with WiFi while the phone sleeps or is active (no probs with mobile data though!), but I was not able to determine whether it's my router, the phone, or a combination of the two (though I have a hunch).
When I'm in my room which is unfortunately the farthest from the router, and the connection drops, my Z2 is not able to reconnect on its own. Have to disable/enable WiFi or else it's stuck in an infinite loop of connecting and obtaining an IP.
Now, I'm fine with a dropping connection occasionally given the distance and the... quality of my router. However, my laptop is able to reconnect automatically.
I have tried lots of possible solutions: WiFi sleep policy, static IP or DHCP, disabling/enabling WiFi optimisation or Auto-IP, switching WiFi channels, and various WiFi fixer apps. Nothing worked.
My guess? There is a bug in the stock firmware that makes the phone unable to reconnect if a connection is forcibly dropped . Pair this with a crappy router and you have a recipe for inconvenience.
Unfortunately, I have no spare router to confirm this, and with the bugs in CyanogenMod I am reluctant to flash for now.
Also, I am sure this is not a hardware fault of the phone in my case since I notice this behaviour at home in my network only.
Do you guys possibly know where I could find some logs related WiFi? I wanna get to the bottom of this.
