Help My wifi won't even try to connect. It will turn on and i can see my router but when i click connect nothing happens. It worked when i got the phone, i used toast's root then flashed to OMJ EVO 2.1 Eclair v1.3. Didn't work tried flashing with Supersonic_1.32.651.1 and still nothing. then i tried wiping the data and delvic cache and restore with the original backup i made and i still got nothin any ideas
did you flash the most up to date radio?
I was having this problem too, it may be different. My power control would show with the green bar like it was waiting for IP but would not go the bright green indicating it was connedted. If I did it from wireless and Networks it would show "unable to connect" you can find my solution here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=699752
I recommend trying this first:
In connect bot on phone, navigate to with
# cd /data/misc/wifi/
then do
# chmod 777 wpa_suplicant.conf
now try to connect from the Wireless and networks in the settings menu. If you can you probably need to do what I did to set it.
Just one question first though, Did you try rebooting the phone? Simple things some times.
Thank you for the input. i've updated radio to 1.39.00.05.31 still does not work. Then i tried changing permissions on the file you recommended...still no luck.
When i go into wireless & networks Wi-Fi will have a disconnected below it. when i go into wi-fi settings i see my home network with "not in range,remembered" under it. After about 3 secs. it changes to "remembered,secured with wep". i'll select it and push connect and nothing happens, it doesn't even appear to be trying to connect.
i noticed something today. Previously when i tried changing those file permissions i simply did exactly what you had said. Did some looking around and the /data/ folder is empty. I did finf the file in /etc/wifi/ directory.

Hello,
On each reboot of my EVO the wifi is "unable to connect"
I've found the solution to the problem and that is to edit the /data/misc/wifi/wpa_supplicant.conf file which reverts to -rw--r-- or something.
I issue the command chmod 777 wpa_supplicant.conf and everything works fine.
My issue is how do I make it stick? each reboot it seems to go back to the non-working state.
Some Background: I had messed with the Phone.apk and didn't realize that that was why I had lost cell connectivity. I pushed the /data folder back up from my PC. I assume this is why this happened in the first place.
If you have Ideas I'll be happy to try them.
Thanks.
Sorry if this is the wrong section. The other sections did not seem right since this is a issue s dev would likely deal with.
Ok I got it figured out. I flashede a new rom and that didn't fix it so I dug in a little deeper. I compaired my other phones result of "ls -l" and saw that it was -rw--rw--- system wifi wpa_supplicant.conf and this one showed -rw--rw--- root root wpa_supplicant.conf. This means the user and group was wrong. I did a chown system wpa_supplicant.conf which corrected the owner but the group was still wrong. It didn't seem to matter though. I tried chgrp wifi wpa_supplicant.conf but it seems there is not a wifi group on this rom/phone.
I thought I'd post back in case someone else has this problem.

Does it eventually connect though. My problem was that it would take a few minutes then time out. You could really only tell in settings>wireless and networks. I would say "unable to connect"
Test solution is to open connect bot on phone.
type:
#su
#cd /data/misc/wifi
#chmod wpa_supplicant.conf
Now try to connect again from settings>wireless and network. If it connects then yo may need to to a Chown.

EPIC
I am having this same problem on the EPIC, it connects initially to my WIFI @ Home but then for some reason refuses to reconnect back to it later and even though it sees the SSID of the WIFI connection refuses to connect.
I am running a trace on the router itself and I do not see a request from the MAC Address to DHCP, so apparently it is failing to communicate?
It was connected fine before.
Hi all,
having troubles with my Wifi. It needs a minute to connect and doesn't connect when screen is off eventhough settings are to always on.
I started asking in CM7 nightly thread about my problem but it's better to have a new thread for that.
So far I didn't find a solution.
I tried:
- replace tiwlan_drv.ko with new one by deleting old one
- compared wpa_supplicant, tiwlan.ini and other data in that folder without significant outcome
- tried old 2011.11.16-nightly where it still worked
Anyone got an idea what I have to copy from my old nightly where it still worked?
This is what happened:

sorry, for bringing this up again, since I'm the only one having this issue but I just collected a few logs. maybe someone has a clue what is going on there:
Code:
2012-02-13-19-35-37_wifion.txt > when turning wifi on it needs more than a minute to connect
2012-02-13-19-37-37_wifiscan.txt > wifi instantly connects after starting 'wifi analyzer' app or open the wifi settings window
2012-02-13-19-45-25_wifiscreenoff.txt > when screen is of, wifi doesn't connect eventhough settings are to "always on"
/edit: ok i just tried to read the logs myself and I think you can't really see any reason for that behaviour... am i right that the possible settings I have to look for are in the 'tiwlan.ini'?
Maybe someone provide me a backup of his/her tiwlan.ini for comparison... (I don't have any idea what I'm doing but that doesn't mean I couldn't try. )
I added my tiwlan.ini as well
/edit: compared to tiwlan.ini: no differences. Must be something else.

Could you please check your logs if it needs exactly a minute to connect? could be a proof that there is some setting involved.

I just went back to an older version: 2011-11-16 and the problem was gone.
Thank you.
/edit: Ok might have bin the wrong folder... did it have to be /data/misc/wifi/? Argh it's hard when one knows nothing. :|
/edit2: I'm so sorry: I compared wrong files and folders (system and data). I come back here, when I really found something. *shame on me*

I'd just copy the module tiwlan_drv.ko [in /system/lib/module] from that older nightly and replace it on the newer build first.
Don't forget to set its permissions afterwards..
You can do this with RootExplorer or with Terminal (from the app tray) by entering these 5 lines:
Code:
su
cd /system/lib/module
mount -o remount,rw /system/
chmod 644 tiwlan_drv.ko
chown 0.0 tiwlan_drv.ko
and reboot.

none of these solutions worked right?
I have wifi problems too. Wifi in CM7 is crap
No wifi problems here... I'm using my personal home wifi network most of the time, but other networks works well too.
Red lense German Vodafone Froyo based
CM7.2 Nightly 02102012
I have this issue if I configure my Router security to WPA. With open I can connect immediately

can't really say that. It's great in 111116-nightly so I just wanna figure out what I have to change to get the speed back!
Motorola Defy CM72120121, german Froyo base
I have this problem, too.
Nobody else?
Would be great if some devs could please look this up.
SOLUTION
Hello all,
first off: delete wpa_supplicant and everything is fine!
I gave up and did a factory reset/wipe data. After that it worked w/o problems.
> Now I will restore all my apps and check if it's still working afterwards. > still working
> restore wifi access points > NOT WORKING ANYMORE!
> with shame I delete wpa_supplicant > WORKS AGAIN!
I'm so ashamed. :/ Should have done that like months ago.
I go back to my backup and try it there. > deleting the wpa_supplicant worked!!!!
My Wifi has a problem with WRT54G Wireless Router, with Froyo Stock ROM and CM7.1 RC1.5-jordan.
WIFI connect, signal is good but connection is very slow.
On notebooks, the connection is faster with this same router.
In another Wireless routers connection is normal from Defy. The problem is only between Defy x Linksys WRT54G.
I have set Defy and Router to work only in G mode, but the problem persist.
With the same configurations the problem don´t occour with another routers from D-link, Cisco or other.
Anyone know how can I solve it?
Tnks.
First off I want to say that the rom (SensuAOSP 2.55) is the bomb... But I am having a few problems and not sure where to turn to. My first problem is the tethering, I can't get it to work. I can turn it on, and my IPAD finds it, the password works and it says it is connected. But no data is passed. It shows it has the IP address etc but nothing.
The phone vibrated at one time, but now it is not. I have gone through all the settings (but 1 I guess since I can't find it) with no luck.
Lastly, I have clicked on the A2SDgui icon and it comes up and states It could not start for one of these reasons 1. Your device is not rooted 2. A2SDGUI scripts could not be found 3.No ext partition found. I know I formated the partition, It says that superuser has permission, just not sure what else to check...
Thank you to any of you for your assistance

Lets talk about the Tethering first... I did the upgrade on this ROM and still did not work (Really didn't think it would). Was wondering if anyone would think I should just update the radio?
I flashed a new ROM, and when I found I didn't like it (phone froze very often) I restored the nandroid backup I had taken. When I booted up again, wifi didn't work. When I press the toggle it turns to on, but gray. Doesn't start to search for wifi networks.
I googled around for a bit and found that I should rename my "wpa_supplicant.conf" in root/data/misc/wifi. I renamed it to "temporary backup" so that I wouldn't lose it, and didn't set a file type so I know the phone shouldn't recognize it as the wpa_supplicant.conf. I was also told that after a reboot would generate a new wpa_supplicant.conf, and yet after 2 reboots I still don't have a new one and wifi still doesn't work.
This makes me suspect that the error happens before it looks for wpa_supplicant.conf, but I don't know how to troubleshoot any longer. I don't know what information is relevant, so I'll post it as a reply and in the main post as fast as you ask.
Thanks beforehand!
I'm having a huge issue. My Wi-Fi won't work on my 2013 Nexus. I select it. It sees it with a full signal and I put in the password, It just says saved. I tried with a connection without a password, it says the same thing. I tried flashing back to factory multiple times but it does nothing. It was working and just all of a sudden went out on me. Is there a way to flash a driver or something?

Firstly, just reboot the WiFi access point and try to connect to it again.
Did you change firmware or any settings on the WiFi access point? Do other devices connect to it properly?
Can your Nexus connect to other WiFi access points? Try it with your mobile's WiFi hot spot.
Finally, we need some logs:
turn off N7 wifi
start logcat (I prefer 'time' format: adb logcat -v time > log.txt )
turn on N7 wifi
try to connect
stop logcat
compress and post the log here
