WiFi connection/signal problem! - Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Hi everybody,
I'm having connection problems with my wifi, the problem is that my wifi connection just loses its signal strength and after some time the wifi won't work at all for some time :/ I'm not 100% sure why is it happening, because few weeks ago there weren't that problem
I'm using Archos 45 Platnium and router is Thomson TG784. I recently rooted my phone and tried out some wifi penetrating apps, and i thought that's the source of problems. I tried factory reset, wipeing everything, installing original rom, 30+ wifi fixing apps, but nothing seems to work I really hope that someone can help me, or is there a custom rom like cm that i could install I really like the cm rom but i can't find version that is compitablewith my device

Try downgrading your router security. If you are using WPA/PSK2, downgrade to WPA. That worked for me and some people in other forums.

I already have done that.
Are there more people whit the latest artemis rom where the reception of the wifi has become less ?

I'm also facing the same problem, i have tried this for as many as 7 different ROMS, but the problem is still not gone. I stood right in front of my router, but even then it was not showing in the available networks. I don't know what to do... any suggestions ???

[Q] Project V internet problems

So today I decided I was bored with trigger and flashed project v because I'd heard really great comments about it. After a little more reading I flashed the Bali kernel which I'd had before. It's very fast but the only problem is I can't do anything that requires data usage without being connected to wifi. It's very annoying because although I'm in a bookstore at the moment and have wifi, I won't always have it and I'll be pissed when I can't use my phone. Has anyone else had this problem? Is there a solution? Thanks in advance!

I have exactly the OPPOSITE problem. When I'm on wi-fi, internet connection will drop after approximately an hour and I can only use 3G to connect to the internet unless I turn wifi off and back on.
I tried re-flashing but it didn't really do anything. But in your case, it might be worth trying. Good luck!
Thanks, I'll try it in a few hours.

[Q] Neutrino Wifi issue

Hi Guys,
i come from the Moto Stock Rom and have flashed Neutrino 2.6EE few days ago.
Now i've got a little issue with the Wifi Connection.
When I unlock the phone and a known wifi (home and work) is in reach, it takes about one minute until the connection is established.
With the stock rom ist takes only a couple of seconds.
When i go into the wifi settings while waiting, the connection will be established immediately.
Does anyone know a solution?
European Atrix
Wifi-Standby: off when display is off
Rom: Neutrino 2.6EE
Baseband: N_01.100.00R
I also have this issue with every CM7 ROM. I believe it is a bug present in all CM7 based ROM. Flashing a new radio or reflashing your old one may fix this issue, but I haven't tried it because I cannot find a working link to the N_01.77.30p radio for a backup in case of failure in the flashing of a more recent one. If anyone could provide a CWM flashable N_01.77.30p radio I could begin testing to fix this problem.

Me too, I used to experience the same problem with older versions of the Neutrino ROM but this new version is working flawlessly. Only one thing, when the screen is off for about 15-20minutes the wifi connection is lost so I keep a wifi settings icon handy on the desktop, but I noticed this issue on the CM7 roms too so it should be a bug there. On CM9 roms the wifi stays on during the whole time maybe try a cm9 rom?
Some reason when I click the download link nothing happens, if you could directly link the file that would be great.

This has been discussed many times.
This is either a hardware fault or a CM7 bug. Therefore, I cannot fix it as Neutrino builds are based on CM7, and obviously, if it is a hardware issue, then there's nothing I can do at all.
For now, just pray that CM7 magically fixes it.
I am sorry, I mean no offense to your development, and since my previous post is incorrect or misinformed I am very sorry, and I will change my previous post to reflect this new information. Neutrino is an awesome ROM by the way.

I will try a CM9 ROM to see if that fixes the issue. But I will not be able to flash for awhile since I am on a business trip. If someone else could try it out and report findings that would be great.

I'm on Jokerz version 0.3ish and turning on wifi gives me an error report followed by random reboots. The problem did not originate with this ROM and I've flashed a handful of different ROMs with no fix.
I got smoked by Windows just for the free phone so I can sell it.

So we have all this hardware problem?
Because I have the same issue with my Stock Rom 2.3.4.
What is your advice?Bring it to Motorola Support or wait in this "magical fix"?
This is most likely a hardware issue.

With the original rom version (45.31.1.MB860.NonEFIGSRetail.en.EU) that was on my phone, the Wifi connection was established much faster.
The second thing is, when I went into the wifi settings while waiting, the connection will be established immediately. It turns from searching to getting ip and then connected.
So I can't believe that this is a hardware problem. I think the phone is waiting for something before the connection will be made or so.
I've serarched a bit an found that:

When your device is connected to Wi-Fi, then it will consume less battery as it needs less 'juice' to receive data from a Wi-Fi network than a cellular network.
However, if you are on 3G, but have Wi-Fi enabled, then your phone will consume more battery than with Wi-Fi disabled as the phone frequently scans for Wi-Fi networks. The scan time is configurable and stock ROM and CM7 scan every 30 seconds, whereas Neutrino ROM scans every 2 minutes. This means that Neutrino will have slightly better battery with Wi-Fi always enabled as it scans 4x less than normal.
To configure the scan time, you'll have to edit the build.prop.

I measured it again, how much time passes before the connection is available.
It takes about 2 minutes and 5 seconds, until the connection is there.
I think it is related to the scan-intervall.
Can you change the setting, that the phone will scan for wifi when it will be unlocked?

[Q] Wi-Fi Singal very low

Hello all!
I have been getting very low wi-fi signal on my nook since I upgraded from stock to CM10. I know its not the router , as it was doing fine with every other device on my network.
I'm on CM10, have tried the three major roms out there for CM10 ( PURE, sgt7+cherry picks, codefireX) just to see if it was rom side.
I'm just wondering what are my options here ? I can't walk outside my room without dropping the already weak signal .
I not having the same problem from crossfireX or earlier builds of PURE, sgt7+cherry picks. Make sure you wipe dalvik and factory reset wipe before you flash a rom. Try a router firmware update then start test by setting up g band only then setup n band on router if successful.

I have wiped dalvik and factory reset with all the roms I have flashed, and nothing is changing. Also, I have the default Verizon FIOS router(checked, firmware is up-to-date) and its on b/g mixed mode. I don't believe it can do wireless-N.
Let make sure it not the rom in question for you. Can you connect to like a friends, neighbor or a nearby hot spot which could simulate the same problem? If you connect with high bar within proximity to the router, then you know its not the rom. Do a speedtest.net or use the app on your device to test if your getting at least 12 Mbps. If you are getting higher rate then I would just ignore the bar.
Well looky that, I'm a Senior Member today, I guess I can get my discount at Ihop now.
Other ways of using a Intel laptop as a router is to have Intel My Wifi Utility to enable a hotspot function or ad hoc network test for your nt. Just a thought.

I have a spare linksys router I tested. Almost identical results were found. Should I re-flash stock and start from the beginning ? I mean, I can't take more then ten steps to my bathroom without dropping the signal.
I also did a speed-test.net , and got 12m/bs down and 4m/bs up. but that doesnt mean anything unless I'm inside my room.
Sounds like a good idea. Try this before the reflash. On the nook, how many access point do you see with 5 bars, if there is more than one then it's causing interference. Try setting a WPS pin in your router and in CM 10 describe in the "WPS Pin Entry" on your nook in wifi>touch the 3 dot in vertical alignment.

Bump....I'm having this problem with my NT too. OP did you ever solve this issue?
It was working fine for the passed 2 months, now it can't pickup any signals unless it sits a foot or so from the router. This sucks. Its basically rendering the tablet useless.
And so far what I have done:
Updated rom, wiped & reflashed, flashed new rom, nandroid back to updated rom. Only thing I haven't done is try a new kernel ( didn't think it would make a difference)
Fully checked router, all other devices on WiFi(5) are working fine in other rooms with 2+ bars.
Is there a way to check the input/output signal strength of the NT? Modifying this? It's starting to seem like a Hardware issue.
In the Google Play Store there's an app called "WiFi Analyzer" by FARPROC. Use that to check your signal strength on the router.
Bump, still having this issue, I was hoping by now there would be a solution. I'm just coming back to the tablet after many frustrating nights... To try and get it to work again.
Please this has got to be more common.. It used to work grrreat! My router is fine, my GNex has full bars, the Nook has 1 or 0 bars.
I just reflashed a new rom, updated kernal, same results. Is there a modem I need to flash or something?
What happens if you go back to stock using http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1470910? Do you still get a weak signal then?

[Q] WiFi Woes; Would love some help. [Already did thorough searching/troubleshooting]

So guys, I've been having some issues with WiFi on my S3 and I resort to posting here only after trying everything else that I can think of. I'm well aware of the rules regarding noobs on XDA and I hope that I haven't broken any of them.
The Problem: All networks are detected within normal range, but attempting to connect to them results in a "Saved, secured/open" result, while not connecting. Sometimes, by spamming the connect button, I can connect to a network for a few minutes, but will not get a working internet connection, just WLAN connection. Finally, when anything related to WiFi is left on, I experience extreme battery drain, surpassing even screen use in battery consumption.
What I've done:
Tried CM10.1 and CM10.2 AOSP ROMS, as well as Omni 4.4 ROMs.
Did some searching, tried various Stock based ROMs, same issue present.
Searched some more, tried flashing a stock ROM through Odin..same issue. (Although I did not leave it long enough to test battery drain.)
Tried that wifi patch for custom roms floating around, makes no difference.
Deleted files (on a fresh install) in the /data/ folders as suggested in several posts. No help.
Tried flashing a few modems, one did in fact seem to help my mobile data signal, but no luck for WiFi.
Tried the AOSP roms above with 1-2 different kernels.
Hit phone lightly against wall.
Remove MicroSD card.
I cannot remember exactly what happened when I noticed the issue because it was during the Christmas celebrations and I was staying at family. I chalked it up to their possibly shoddy router and made a mental note to reflash my rom when I got home, which is when I realised it wouldn't be such a simple fix.
I'm already preparing to buy a new phone (thinking Xperia Z), but I decided to post here as a last resort. I know this has been asked a lot, but I decided to post because I experience the same issue on the stock ROM, a symptom not listed in any of the reported cases posted.
Thank you guys for your help, I'd love to just be able to fix this issue and be done with it rather than shell out for a new phone. Hope everyone has a happy new year!
