Hey guys and gals quick question-
I'm using a MT3GS rooted running Cyanogen 6.0.0 stable ROM and PDANet USB tether. My WiFi works great right after flashing the ROM, but anywhere from 3 hours to a week after flashing my wifi stops working and gets stuck saying "Connecting...". It does not scan or show any available wireless networks, only the one i have remembered. Turning wifi on/off and rebooting the phone don't solve this. I can reflash the rom or flash a recovery and it works again perfectly (until this happens again). Is there any way to fix this or prevent it from happening?
not sure if it will help but the cyano's 6.1 stable was released yesterday i am running it now and it is much improved
just noticed that, flashing now. i'll update if i keep having issues. Thanks
Just updated to 6.1 RC1 and the stability is improved 100x but after about 8 hours it disconnected then returned to the "Connecting...". The only way i could get it to scan and connect again was to reflash my recovery to the 6.1 RC1. No software other than my tether was installed. Any clue to what could cause this or any other fix besides restoring?
I've been having issues with my wifi tethering too. I'm running 6.1 like you are. I can get it to connect every time (although it does lose connection sometimes, but always comes right back up), but my speeds are very slow.
my speed and stability are much improved with 6.1 and I'm no longer having to reinstall the rom daily to keep wifi working. had to restore twice since updating but overall its much better. guess I'm stuck having to restore every few days but it beats every few hours lol.

ok so I recently upgraded to cyanogenmod 6.1 and I love the rom. I am wondering though when I would normally use wifi tether in the market i would have a lot of trouble keeping a connection with my laptop or my phone would suddenly disappear from the wifi list on my computer. It seems to do it a lot with Fresh 3.3.0.1. I am wondering is there a way for me to get the built in wifi tether/hotspot feature on Cyanogenmod to work on Fresh's or any other rom? Also if i could get better battery life in CM 6.1 I would just stick with that rom. Thanks again.
The one in 6.1 uses wireless tether from the market try cyanogen to see if it works

Use this wifi tether, and if you have connection issues with it, change to channel 1. I am useing pre13 and my notebook stays connected everyday for 8+ hours with no issues. I have it set to channel 1 in the settings.
Ok thank you. I will definitely give those a try. If cyanogenmod 6.1 could get the same or even better battery life then fresh 3.3.0.1 I would definitely make the switch then. Thanks again and I will let you know what all happens.

I have flashed to CMod 7 nightly 8 yesterday, to try out Gingerbread, and after several glitches at the start (apparently I had to restart once to get the wifi to work at all), I managed to activate the phone, and started downloading all my apps (thanks for app-brain that kept all my apps listed and ready).
At around noon yesterday, my wifi got disconnected, and it can't seem to get connected again - it just stays stuck on "Obtaining IP Address..." for a long while, before finally giving up and listing my network as "Disabled".
At first, I thought it was something wrong with the wifi in my office, but the same thing happened to me at home in the evening, and keeps on happening to me here now.
I reverted back to factory setting (deleting all my hard-installed apps), hoping it will work again, but no luck. Still can't get connected to the network. Just now I also removed the wireless security of my network completely, and it is still not working.
I switched radios between
2010-12-21 - Radio_12.35a.60.140f_26.04.03.30_M
2011-01-04 - Radio_12.28e.60.140f_26.04.02.17_M2_SF (currently on the DHD)
2011-02-25 - Radio_12.28g.60.140f_26.05.05.27_M3
and there was no difference.
I am now thinking maybe I should do a rom manager restore, to see how it works on the old (stock) rom.
Any tips from anyone here?
It's a bug in the rom. Use rc1 that works fine.

Have you updated BusyBox? I recently updated to 1.18.3 and it broke root & WiFi.
Yeah, coming to think of it, I did install busybox just before the trouble started.
Now I am back on stock rom. I must admit that I find the look and feel of the Sense UI much more pleasing than the Cyanogen's... But maybe it's just a question of getting used to it.
I recently rooted my Evo and put CM7 nightly 12 on it. All was well, I even installed the Savaged Zen kernel. Even better. Just yesterday I updated to CM7 RC2 to give it a shot. Today I went to work and had to drive to a remote area where I don't get service, so I put my Evo in airplane mode to save battery life. (this was after having it overheat while charging, could be a hardware issue) At the end of the day I turned the 3G radio back on and nothing... It connects and disconnects to the tower. It will not send data and it will not place phone calls on the 3G connection (WiFi works). I did a restore back to nightly 12 to see if maybe it was a problem with the OS. Nothing. A few hours ago it began functioning again, but after checking it a few minutes ago I have discovered it is back to no connection. (the signal bars bounce between nothing and full, but never shows the X for no signal) Has anyone else had an issue like this? Should I restore back to sense and unroot to take advantage of my warranty? If this has already been posted before please direct me to the right thread.
I'm having the same problem. I installed Cyanogen RC 2 and had no problem since it came out. I went on vacation to a beach, and during my trip I switched it on to airplane mode since I was in a remote location. After turning it back on, I noticed I can't get the Data Connection to work. The 3g bar doesn't even show up, and after messing with the settings trying to fix the problem I managed to do nothing. I tried using a backup I made from a week past, and encountered the same problem. Then I flashed the newest nightly and still no Data whatsoever. Wifi works fine, and 4g is acting weird but I got it to work a few times. Does this have something to do with sprint?
I think it is the same as the 4G 3G hang. I typically get it while tethering and the phone is normaly quite warm.
So I managed to fix the problem. I ended up flashing Koni's Elite Rom

I got an error that said "Error 67 registration failure"
I updated my profile and it was automatically fixed. I'm not aware you can do this on cyanogen stock rom, but I think you can dial a number that will do this for you.
After getting the 3g to work again, I flashed back to the stock cyanogen, and it is still working. So for now im good to go.
I do think is sprint and not the rom because I did a restore to warm z and was still having the same problems. Also my brother's evo was doing the same thing and he doesnt have cm7 on it.
I figured it was something to do with the profile... I restored all the way back to sense and attempted to update profile, but it doesn't seem to be doing anything. I will try that ROM and see if it does anything. Why can't they just make this easy and allow updating of vital software that allows the radios to work on WiFi or from SDcard? This is dumb.
I tried that ROM and nothing works. Not really sure what to do. I might have to restore to Sense and unroot to take it back... I really want to avoid that if at all possible.
Unrooted my phone and getting a free replacement from Sprint. Still unsure of the problem, seems to work randomly.

I also have the same problem. No 3g data, gps, and 4g is acting weird.
I also had the same registration error number 67. My question is, how do you update your profile?
Hey everyone, just came over here from the HTC One X ( AT&T ) forums, smashed the screen on it and used an upgrade to get an AT&T SGS3, loving it so far. Had it rooted and custom recovery, and was on a custom ROM not even an hour after getting home. Anyway, onto the main part of this post.
I tried CM10 ( the 11/01 and 11/02 nightlies), both of the AOKP, and LiquidSmooth, and on all of them, my WiFi stability is not there. It seems to disconnect at random, if connect at all, and when i walk out of range of the router, and then come back, it will not automatically reconnect until i go into airplane mode. Trying to turn WiFi itself off and back on does not work - it won't turn off/back on, it sticks at what it was at.
TouchWiz ROMs, everything works just fine. I'm pretty sure it was working on MIUI as well, but i didnt have MIUI on there long enough to properly test it.
I am using the UCLH9 radio, since AFTER searching the forums pretty in-depth, i found that all radios prior to UCLH9 had wifi driver issues. Flashing this new radio did NOT fix the issue.
I have tried both stock CM10 kernel AND Ktoonsez's kernel (which is pretty freakin awesome, btw! :good: ) and still have WiFi problems.
I have tried flashing ROMs through both TWRP and CWM Recoveries, and have done a full wip of /system /data /cache and /dalvik-cache 3 times each before flashing a ROM.
I'm a pretty competent at flashing ROMs and troubleshooting problems, I am a pretty well-known beta-tester for multiple Sense and AOSP ROMs over at the One X forums, and I have a very good knowledge of how to work ADB and Fastboot. I've been around XDA for a little while, and I know the way of things around here. (don't want you guys thinking im just another a$$hole that threw a post up the second a problem occurred without doing some research first!)
If anyone has ANY ideas as to what may be causing the wifi drivers to crash, PLEASE fill me in.
I've tried all the same things you have and have had no success. The best wifi stability I got was the AOKP_d2att milestone1 w/ lean kernel combination, but wifi would stay connected for 3-5 minutes as opposed to 30 seconds.
I briefly tried CM9, but that still had wifi issues. I might try a few other ICS roms
I came across these threads that documented the problem across other phones:
code.google.com/p/android/issues/detail?id=34942
code.google.com/p/android/issues/detail?id=36993
I've decided that I'm stuck with ICS until the official JB comes out.

Well, I flashed Intergalactic, which is a modded Stock ICS TW ROM based on the AT&T firmware. Shortly after, I reinstalled TWRP recovery and flashed task's AOKP with ktoonsez's kernel, and WiFi works!
This is similar to an issue we had several weeks back with CM10 based ROMs on the HTC One X, you couldn't get LTE unless you flashed a ROM based on Android 4.0.3, it was something with CM10 obviously, because it was fixed in one of the October nightlies iirc.
Try flashing intergalactic and then task and ktoonsez aokp and see if your WiFi is working and let me know

Nope, no luck this way either.
Wifi under Intergalactic works fine.
TWRP flash AOKP milestone 1 alone, with the ktoonsez kernel, or with lean kernal and my wifi still hangs after ~1 minute of inactivity. The phone grinds to a halt. If you can get to the settings, it says that I am connected to my router, but shows no signal bars. If you can then turn wifi off, the phone un-freezes, and (except for no wifi access), the phone is back to normal. If you now turn wifi back on, it stays up for another minute or two and goes down again.
I'm open to any other suggestions.
Thanks though

i am using task and ktoonsez rom....when i first installed it, i noticed wifi dropping, it was annoying.
kinda dont happen anymore. The only 2 things i can think of that might have helped me is; i flashed a new modem i747MVLLE8(I'm with rogers), and under Wi-fi(menu/advanced), i unchecked poor connections.
also my router is 2.4ghz and 5ghz band, but i am connected to the 2.4ghz band.
hope it helps somehow.
I had horrible dropouts and speed with my last WiFi router. I forget the name/model but it was a new model (released this year) that had great reviews.
I went back to my old router and all my wifi problems disappeared.
I do get dropouts once in awhile still. But I haven't done a clean ROM install in awhile.
Hello,
I am having some rather particular issues with my Note 2.
About 2 months ago the GPS just wouldnt work. If you tried to turn it on it would crash the UI or OS .
I have been running Syndergy Rom r85 for over a year at this point and not serious changes to the phone ina while.
So I did a nandroid and started to tinker, a clean flash would fix the GPS issues.
So Backed up some apps and misc stuff and wiped the phone and reinstalled Synergy.
Every was peachie except for the following :
Using Wifi Tether V3.2 B2 M5 *Synergized its getting killed as the Wifi auto on's of its own accord.
Its not just when I tether I now have to check it throughout a day to make sure its not on. It isn't auto connecting to what it finds unless it is a network I have connected to before.
The only thing I am not 100% on is if I was running that version of the tether app.
So, is there a way to figure out whats turning my Wifi on? Is there a newer version of the tether app that will work with my N2 on a 4.1.2 ?
Thanks for any help
