I wanted to switch to CM7 from Leedroid, which I did. Everything worked fine except I couldn't find my WiFi, So i tried several other Radios, still didn't work. And then I flashed 2 other ROM's, just to see if works. Oxygen and MIUI, still the same problem on both. And later i switched to the ICS Beta ROM. And WIFI worked perfectly, with the same radio as I had before. I could stay with ICS since WiFi worked there, but I need A2SD+ so I won't run out of storage. So I switched to some different version of MIUI called MIUI_Au which I really like and want to keep, has everything I need. But still the same problem (no WiFi). Well, But I wanted to go further. So I tried creating a portable WIFI hotspot on 2 other smartphones. And I was able to connect to both of them. So I think it may have something to do with my router, but we got 3 smartphones and 6 computers connected to it and everything works perfect, it's just my Desire that won't find it.
Full wipe, cache + dalvik cache for every ROM flash. What's wrong?
go closer to the router..... I found CM7 based roms tend to have lower signal strength than sense roms.... might help might not....

Thanks for the reply, but I've already tried that without success..
EDIT: I had CM7 way before Leedroid, and wifi worked perfect.
Does the phone actually see the signal and fail to connect or is it not seeing it at all? Either way, try rebooting the router and the phone and try again and also try disabling security on the router temporarily and see if it will connect. You may also want to check that the router is actually broadcasting a visible SSID and if not then you should maybe try enabling that also.

Can't even find it.. What you mean with "Broadcasting a visible SSID" i can see it's SSID on other smartphones and stuff if that's what you mean. I have not tried disabling the encryption on the router yet, but I had similar encryption on the other WiFi hotspots and it worked perfect. Can flashing older radios help maybe? Thanks.
Whatever, flashed back to Leedroid, maybe not my first choice. But at least the Wifi works, feel free to lock this thread.
Cm is set to see all channels? If you use a higher channel for wifi cyanogen does not see it by default.
In connections press menu and select the higher channels

Well, had you had the patience to sort your router out (which I'm pretty sure was at fault and not the phone) then maybe you wouldn't need to run a less preferable ROM. Indeed, had you followed my advice and disabled the router security temporarily then we may have had some idea if we were on the right road. Anyway, good luck with your chosen ROM.

Yeah I know, but a family member is going to have the phone from now on, and she doesn't have a 3G card so she really needs WiFi. I'm gonna try fixing it another time maybe, Can you just give a hint on what to do, we say if I disable the security on the router, and it works. what should I do next, I won't leave my router without WPA2 encryption. Thanks

Yay! I had the same issue: everyone else could see the SSID but me and I'm running CM7 (Nexus One). Then I saw your suggestion and discovered a menu I wasn't even aware of(!) and configured CM7 to see all 14 channels and, voila, it works! (Not sure what the default was as neither option was enabled.) THANK YOU VERY MUCH!!!
P.S. Could anyone please tell me why oh why CM7 has this option and why it is not set to a value that works by deafult?

Hi.
First of all, I installed it with a fresh new uSD card and a complete wipe.
While the connection seems to be OK, accordingly to the AP, no traffic can
be done accordingly to the phone.
Any idea? Is it a bug or what?
Weird. I have no such problems. Also, such a large bug would have been known much sooner. So it must be something unique to your situation.
Did you do a wipe before the flash?
Hi, this is not a bug, cause i have the same rom installed on my hero and my wifi is working.

Hi,
The wifi is working fine.
Make shure what channel your router is configured with.
VillainRom 5.3 is a Port from CDMA (US vertion of Hero) it only supports 11 channels.
We in Europe have 13 channels of our disposal.

Nice point.
1. I can see my phone hooked on my AP, so I would say this is not the problem.
2. The phone itself is showing the friendly WiFi signal icon.
3. VillainROM should put the regulatory domain back in the WiFi configuration.
And, of course, my WiFi is still not working!

I am having the same problem with my 2 heros.
both wiped multiple times and the sd card was repartitioned and formatted before flash. it will connect and allow some traffic but every 10-15 minutes or so it will drop connection then after a couple of minutes come back. I have watched the wifi indicator actually disappear for a few seconds then come back. never had this problem with 5.2 or any other roms where wifi was actually working.
Oh and I even reflashed the newest radio after words just in case and this didn't help.

Mine is a different problem, while yours seems to be an old one.
You can go to WiFi settings and check the sleeping mode to "never". You ask te system not to disconnect for any reason at all.

Nope. The AP has a very simple cfg (just WPA authentication).

Check out also the comments.
I have experienced the OP's issue as well. Wifi works for a minute or two when first connected, but then the data stops even though the status still shows connected. I have to disable/enable Wifi to get it back.
I'm using a "g-only" network with WPA2 encryption.
I have been tinkering with the settings in the following file:
/system/etc/wifi/tiwlan.ini
I have had some limited success by changing DesiredPSMode to 1 (from 0). The phone now stays connected several minutes longer, but the connection still drops frequently. At least now it drops completely (status shows disconnected) instead of just going dark while showing connected.
I haven't had much time for trial/error with the other settings in that file.
I have an unsecured network and wifi still isnt working i even tried the builds i used beforeand wifi stil isnt working? I tried Eclair 2.1 froyo still wont work. it scans and says unable to scasn and turns the wifi off by itself. it worked on my other touch pro 2! any ideas?
same ****
got the same problem i had it on the 2.1 builds and on the froyo builds but seems when somebody mention it nobody takes it seriously...just have to wait till the next build...!
You need to update zimage to the latest and as long as WiFi is not WEP encrypted, it should work.
That is really odd. Wifi works perfect for me in froyo with a secured network. Try the new 2.2 froyo build in the first sticky.

Where I live I run wpa2 but there's wep, wpa and unsecured networks available. I get the same problem with the various flavours even after uninstalling, deleting all content and reinstalling.
Bit of a wind up to read that it's a problem with wep.
I would have to say this is one of the worst issues I have found yet with android. Others who have the same phone don't have this issue. but I do. WiFi just doesn't work on my device. I have all the latest releases. Hell, I have been able to use every feature meant for rhodium but WiFi. It is a persistant issue with my device.
I even tried repartitioning my sdcard to see if that helps. but no luck. The last release I was able to use Wifi with was the first release of the sense ui 2.1
When I mention this on IRC, I am pretty much ignored, People think it is because I don't know what I am doing. I beg to differ. I have been able to offer valid advice and solutions for most of the questions i come across.
My device is a T-MO TP2, with a 4gb sdcard. and colored send and end buttons.
Help Please.
Last time I checked Rhobuntu wifi worked ok
I'm having the same issue as well..
It will scan and see my network(secured with WEP) and let me enter my login info but after that it just scans and dosen't connect.
If I have to turn my WEP off I want worry about Android cause theres too many people around here that like to piggy back and I'm not paying for them to use mt internet as well.
I'm using the [MUG] Rhod.2.2.BLAZN.072110 if that helps.
I had another touchpro2 that got lost but wifi worked perfectly! WHEN I TRY TO UPGRADE ROOTFS AND ZIMAGE ANDROID STOPS WORKING!!!It boots goes to the lock screen and vibrates and restarts into windows mobile!

Possible fixes for issue include's deleting your data.img located in your andboot folder of the Sdcard and deleting your cache folder usually located (If I'm not mistaken) on the root of the SDcard.
If the above method does not work then you may want to try a fresh install by deleting all android related files or reformatting your SDCard but I'm sure this will do the trick. I've had that issue before.

You don't really have to. If your Router supports it then switch the encryption type to WPA instead of WEP. WPA encryption has been reported to somehow work with this build.

Edit..changexd the wifi from wep to wpa/psk and all is good.just wanna fix the sound,keyboard backlight and the keyboard buttons.
Other then that I love it.

SO drop from WEP to WPA?? I'll try that and post back..Thanks mna.
I really like Android but I HAVE to have WiFi..Theres really no way around that and since I couldn't get it to work...I kept using WinMo.
Should I delete my SD card and put everything back on??
Unfortuantly you tricks didnt work (all of them ) thanks for the help. DOES ANYBODY ELSE KNOW WHATS GOING ONNNNN! EVOLOPERS PLEASE FIXX It!!!
My wifi-button is grey. It is not possible, to start wifi.
How can i fix this? In an older android-version (with sense) it was running.
Is there an example for wifi in the startup.txt. I can read english only very slow and i did not find it in the 756 sites of the froyo-thread.
okay so with a format of the sd card and the installation of the latest releases of android from the sticky and the newest kernals etc.. no go... has anyone who has had issues found a way to get wifi working on their phone?
I too think the last time my phone worked was months and months ago. I would only really play with android every once and a while so I really dont remember.

Wow... Please don't scream at the devs to fix something that already works. It's probably something you're doing...
I would definitely try updating to the newest everything. You say it reboots into WinMo every time - try different combinations of files. I pretty much always run 'bleeding edge' tho, and it's always worked out for me... Perhaps you're not replacing all the files correctly...?
Also... I did see one post from a dev that's going to be discouraging... They said that "some" of the TMobile TP2's just don't work with wifi. I don't think they know why, because if wifi works for the devices devs have, then it's very hard to troubleshoot your problem. It also seems to be effecting a small slice of TMobile TP2's, if that's any consolation. Ditch the teenage wireless company

I hate to rub this in your face but I don't have any issues with wi-fi. Check my signature for my setup. Maybe there is a problem with the WiFi standard a/b/g/n, try changing the standard on your WiFi router (if it allows you).
Many people on the net have the same issue. And it's been the same with every 2.3 ROM I have tried. Yet every 2.2 Rom has worked fine so that suggests to me it's 2.3 issue and not an issue at my end.
I an unable to get access to the router. It's works one and while I have the password I will be shot if caught in the server room
So far it is only works router that fails to show up.
I installed WiGLE and it found if fine. The first time. Since then no go.
If you can see and connect to other networks, it could be a problem with yours. Hidden SSID? Wrong channel?
Maybe a radio update is needed?
Look at this. Maybe helps
Yes I believe it is a hidden SSID. I cannot change that.
I am on the latest radio.
I will read through that and give it a go and see what I can find

Hello guys..
I had the CM7 ROM installed earlier which had issues with the Wifi connectivity but not regular, used to happen once in a while..
After the new Kernel got released on 28th by Haschcode.. i decided to take the plunge the CM9 way with gedeROM.. trust me it has been brilliant.. After the installation I m able to connect initially to wifi.. subsequently when i try connecting to the Wifi it has not been connecting..
I tried EneryROM which also has been giving same issues.. Need your help on this guys..
Also for information sake.. before installing the ROMs.. I wipe the cache, factory reset, Dalvik.. then flash the ROM
Would want to know if any of you guys are experiencing similar issues and if you had been able to get around it..Please find the screenshots attached..
I havent tryed energy but I did try gedeRom never could get it to connect period end of story not that it isnt a sweet rom and the developer has put very excellent effort into it others have had good results. I really dont have a clue why this differs from person to person or rom to rom but I do recall once being able to correct this under advanced connection or by simply not letting or letting google keep a backup of my device. Being in development stage there are little quirks that spring up that dont hold true for all users everyones methodology varies. I couldnt get the new miui to even boot some say to flash at a full charge can fix that problem.The new AOKP has been working very well for me but others have had issues dont know how much is directly related to rom/kernel/ user error at flash. Hashcode has done a briliant job with his kernel and the developers of these roms have too patience is a virtue at this point until some bugs are smashed. For me if I have alot of trouble I simply just move on till a later date then try again the wifi thing kinda is a deal breaker on a kindle without another way to connect to the net.
Edit: at one point there was a mac address problem with the new kernel I believe that was resolved but it gave every device the same mac address which I understand causes some routers to rebel.

3.0 Kernel released on 28th is changing Kindle's WiFi MAC address - you should check MAC filtering policy on your WiFi router. Settings/about/status is the way to find your "new" MAC address. Developers found solution for keeping original MAC address, it will be included in next kernel/rom versions - so do not erase Kindle's original MAC address from router's MAC filter list - you will need it soon.

Ewwh that sucks There's got to be some kind of workaround have you tried advanced connections? Your router is very picky
Its a total shot in the dark but maybe you could try the Hellfire cleaner before you do a fresh flash not the nullifier I'm not totally sure about that one yet. Maybe there is some fragments left behind from your previous flashes that are bottlenecking you? What kind of wireless connection is yours?
I was having similar issues. I think Hashcode's kernels hate certain routers. What kind of router do you have?
My fix was setting my router to run with a static connection instead of with DHCP.
Can you please post a logcat in Hashcode's kernel thread? The issue will get resolved faster.

Router reset with ICS Hashcode 3.0
I have very similar issues you are all reporting. I can use CM7 on my Fire and the wireless works perfect almost all of the time. I gets a little screwy at time, and I just reboot the device and it works fine again for days. When I use any ICS with Hashcode it works GREAT for about 2 days. After that mark, any time i connect with the wireless to my dlink B/G/N router, it will actually reset the router (not settings, just off/on) over and over again. Does anyone know if this issue is being addressed? I am not much of a networking person to know what the Fire could be doing to cause my router to do this, so I am really at a loss.
Stock 6.0.1 mtc19v, on T-Mobile, july security update, never rooted this handset
I decided to start my own thread because I didn't want to hijack another's.
So here's the problem. Had my 5x for 3 days. And I love it, but it has weird wifi issues. I can't watch YouTube while I'm on wifi but it starts up with no issues while on LTE. Downloading apps and their updates take up to 20 minutes. While it's instant on LTE. Wifi calling is super choppy too. And my 5x occasionally disconnects too.
Everything else works fine on wifi. Chrome is quick, so is feedly.
So I searched here and on Google and many people have the same issue. Some say 6.0.1 was bugged.
Either way I tried all the advice given to others. My router and modem are up do date. I reset them various times. The problem can be replicated on my sister's wifi and my dad's.
Check my phone's APN. Changed to 2.4 and 5ghz bands on the phone. Went back to auto wifi band. Nothing.
Tried safe mode. No dice.
I even wiped. No luck either.
I also tried wiping the data and cache on a few apps, play store being one of them. Can't remember the other two.
Anything else I'm missing or is 6.0.1 really bugged?
Is there a possibility mtc19z has a fix? I haven't received that update yet.
Forgot to mention
I called Nexus tech support. They say it's not a known issue. Project fi's tech support said the same thing.

Either way I tried all the advice given to others. My router and modem are up do date. I reset them various times. The problem can be replicated on my sister's wifi and my dad's.
Check my phone's APN. Changed to 2.4 and 5ghz bands on the phone. Went back to auto wifi band. Nothing.
Tried safe mode. No dice.
I even wiped. No luck either.
I also tried wiping the data and cache on a few apps, play store being one of them. Can't remember the other two.
Anything else I'm missing or is 6.0.1 really bugged?
Is there a possibility mtc19z has a fix? I haven't received that update yet.

Try with bluetooth turned on, doesn't need to be connected to anything.
Also try enabling developer options enable the setting to use lollipop dhcp client.
OK I'll give it a shot

OK so far, Bluetooth on does nothing for me. Apps still download slow and wifi calling does nothing.
I'll try the lollipop dhcp tomorrow, with Bluetooth on and off. I'll report then.
Thanks for your advice.

Hi man, the lollipop dhcp didn't work. Tried it with Bluetooth on and off
Last option I can think off.
settings/backup & reset/network settings reset.
After that I would try doing a clean flash with the latest stock image, no apps etc and see what happens.
If that doesn't work I would return it for a new one.

Tried that too. I'm stock never rooted. I've wiped twice already. Nexus support is barely any help. But yeah I'll try for a swap. Thanks.
Well project Fi couldn't help since I don't have their services. LG keeps telling me to call Nexus. Nexus keeps transferring me to project Fi.
I'm just gonna go buy another phone. This hassle isn't worth it.

You should be able to get a new one under warranty from where you brought it.

Yeah I know. Tell them that lol.
I've always loved Nexus phones because of what they represent. But the customer service needs work.

So here's the problem. Had my 5x for 3 days. And I love it, but it has weird wifi issues. I can't watch YouTube while I'm on wifi but it starts up with no issues while on LTE. Downloading apps and their updates take up to 20 minutes. While it's instant on LTE. Wifi calling is super choppy too. And my 5x occasionally disconnects too.

My N5X has not had any wifi issues, thankfully, but I have had weird wifi issues on other android phones in the past. What has worked for me was to go into my router's settings and use DHCP Reservation to assign a specific IP address to the phone, and to make sure there were no conflicts in the IP assignments of various devices on the network. I also replaced the router's default DNS servers with Google's.
Those two steps have solved my android-related wifi issues in the past. But, again, I haven't had any issues with the N5X so this may or may not help you.

I already tried the DNS change but I'll give the dhcp reservation a shot. Thanks.
Try ping and traceroute to confirm where in the path the problem is:

Nexus 5x wifi + Bluetooth.
So couple of years i use it without bluetooth turned on. With some wifi access points phone can't get in deep sleep. Some other access points sending packets to phone.
One day a read about bluetooth "on" options. And surprise, now phone can go deep sleep and dose not have battery drain.
Now i have to keep my bluetooth always on. Was same for android 6,7,8,8.1. with factory reseted.. different kernels dos not help.
Maybe some heard - it is hardware issue? Its go under warranty?
