[Q] Wifi Stuck on "Connecting..."

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.

[Q] Epic experience 2.0.7 Batt mass drain w/ wifi hotspot

just started running Epic exp. 2.0.7 last night because I updated to dk28 and Syndacate isn't running dk28 yet (Hope you guys have it soon!). Anyway, I am liking it so far, not much different than stock, runs good although today I used the wifi hotspot to connect a laptop and after 15 min. my battery went from 65% to less than 20% telling me i need to charge. Is it because of the rom? has any1 else noticed this issue or is there a setting somewhere i need to change? Also as a side note is there any rom similar to Syndacate for dk28 that i can run?

thanks for the quick reply. I'll search for that syndacate rom.

[Q] AOSP and WiFi?

I am running OMFGB now, and just came off of AOKP ICS #31. With both ROMs, wifi seems to hurt battery life, while on the stock HTC ROM, I got better battery life from leaving WiFi on. For the record, this is talking about WiFi always on, and always being connected to a network. Why does the stock ROM hanlde WiFi better?

I'm on aero ICS build and i get 2 days with limited use. I always keep wifi on and connected. I can't say, I get the same problems you do.

Issue's with sprint hotspot fd19

So I flashed fd19 stock root, im now fd26 and it's still not working, everything seems to be working fine except the sprint hotspot app. I pay for it I know I'm stupid lol but anyway's it launches then just disconnect's once that happens it stays toggled on and can't shut off without a phone reset.
I also noticed it only has 3 security options unlike el29's which has wep ect.
Any help or comments much appreciated. Like I said it's the only thing not working atm for me. Haven't tested battery life to much either but hoping for the best seems to charge alot slower.

I guess no one knows since you all use wifi tether -_-

Jellybean Wifi Drain worse than ICS

Ive tried CM10 and AOKP Jellybean based ROMS with kernels like faux's, trips and ncx, but always had the same issue - Wifi kills my battery by evening.
On ICS Roms (ARHD and OrDroid), i was able to keep wifi sleep to "never"and it would use less battery than cellular data networks. While im at work, i need to use wifi since there no data coverage there anyway. With OrDroid on stock kernel, i currently get around 3hrs of screen time, 30 mins of Talk, and wifi is on for around 7-8 hours just for mail and chat.
Has anyone been able to use the wifi on Jellybean ROMs without suffering from a bad drain ? I dont think allowing it to sleep helps much since i would like to know immediately when an email or a Whatsapp message comes in.
Really would appreciate info on this. thanks!

Hoping for some clarification. Does anyone here run Jellybean Wifi throughout the day without significant battery drain ?

As far as I know, AOSP based roms always have less battery life than sense based roms. Are you able to flash any of the sense based JB roms? I used OrDroid v10 and v11 for a while and had excellent battery life and screen on time. That was with mobile data on. WiFi was even better.

Thanks for the input!
So it isn't a generic problem, and I must have had something else factoring in here. I think my CID is supported, but I haven't bothered updating firmware after reading one user review about poor wifi battery life in the ordroid thread.
Even on aosp jb roms, i had decent battery life as long as i didnt use wifi. Did you use wifi over an extended period, like the whole day, and still have decent performance?
If you're certain that ordroid delivers the same wifi battery life on jb and ics, ill take the plunge!
Thanks!

I'm stock and I haven't noticed any difference between ICS and JB. I'm usually connected to WiFi and always leave it "on".

Ive been using pabx's JB Rom for any Hboot 4.2.1 AOSP and not having any issues with wifi drain on jellybean. Thought id post it here so anyone else searching with the same problem can try it out. In fact, i got 3.5hrs of screen time which is something ive never seen in my life!
