Just happened to use wifi hotspot a lot lately in cm7 and i noticed that a lot of times, the connected device will lose internet access, and it turns out that even though the hotspot is still on, it freezes and you can't turn it off. It hangs. Anyone had thus experience and the solution?
Another thing, how can you enable access control?
Thanks

Hey people!
I tried searching the forums for this issue but couldn't find anything, so if this is already discussed please forgive me and redirect me.
Anyway, when I am using wifi the 3g connection disappears (which I've set it to) but sometimes, especially after a long while, when I turn the wifi off the 3G connection won't reappear. I tried turning 3G off and on again without success. The only thing that helps is a soft reset of the phone, which is really annoying.
Has anyone else had a similar problem like this?
I did see the other thread about the 3G connection stopping and hanging, but since they at least still had the 3G connection icon in the top bar I consider this to be a totally different issue.
Anyone knows what might cause this?
Thanks!
If you carefully search, this has been discussed many times.
Basically, HTC Desire is not that good on waking up the 3G connection after turned off.
When you use WiFi, the 3G will not be turned off, but it will not be used.
Yes, it happens to me several times ... usually I just "wait" ... 1 or 2 minutes.
Other user said by turning ON then OFF flight mode will help.
Yeah ... this issue is bad
Cheers man. Waiting won't help me since I've waited up to an hour just to see what happens. But I'll try the flight mode trick
My phone has had absolutely no problem connecting to Wi-Fi for the longest time. About a month ago, it started refusing to connect to Wi-Fi properly. If I go to the wireless settings, as soon as Wi-Fi turns on, it turns itself off immediately, and it keeps doing this over and over. I've tried different kernels (including stock), different ROMs, which sometimes fix it for a little while but it always goes back to this. Is anyone else experiencing this problem, or know how to fix it?
A few days ago I noticed that my network would always stay on 4g. Normally the phone kicks over to my home WiFi without a problem. Now I can't turn the Wi-Fi on, but when I try to turn on the Wi-Fi from the settings, it turns the mobile hotspot on. I've never had a problem before. I have FoxFi that I use to turn on my mobile hotspot and it's always worked fine. The hotspot still functions perfectly fine, but the wifi doesn't. I am rooted and running a 4.3 version of Nebula ROM. Also, I just noticed when I boot my phone up, it starts with the hotspot activated. Not too long ago I flashed the full firmware here . And here is the Nebula ROM.
So I just purchased the tablet brand new about 2 weeks ago. Love it for the most part!
Over the past couple of days though, the wifi has really started to act up, and it's passing me off.. About every half hour or so, sometimes longer, sometimes shorter, the wifi will just stop working for a while. The bars will still be there, as will the little "download" and "upload" arrows lighting up as though data is still being sent and received. However, the wifi just isn't working. Pages won't load, speed test . net app won't work, nothing requiring wifi.
I usually have to go into wifi settings to disconnect and reconnect for it to start working again.
I haven't done anything different to my wifi router, and my other wifi connected devices don't seem to be having any trouble staying properly connected, so it doesn't seem like it'd be an interference issue.
Can anyone provide me with some help?
This issue has been annoying me for quite some time, and after a lot of searching (and trying stuff) I've decided to make my own thread because nothing seems to help.
Let's say I'm at work and I turn on my phone's WiFi radio, this makes it connect to the work WiFi without problems. Now once I go back home, the network becomes out of range so it switches back to 3G/4G (so far so good). But when I actually get home, it takes 10-15 minutes before my phone finally decides it can connect to the WiFi there. I have certain appliances that rely on my phone making a timely WiFi connection so you can imagine this will trip a few of them because I'm long home before it finally connects. I already tried toggling various battery/power/app optimisations found across this forum, but as mentioned nothing works. Pretty sure it's because Android scans for nearby networks only once every X minutes.
Now, I can "force" it to connect by just knocking on the screen to turn it on, but I either forget this or have my hands full and am unable to knock (and shouldn't be necessary anyways). So in short: is there any way to force Android to check for networks every X seconds/minutes instead? I am rooted, if that helps in any way.
