So, ever since I upgraded to 2.2.1 (yes the official one, because I didn't check >-<), I've been experiencing problems with my WiFi.
I can't seem to connect to it. It says it's connected, but nothing.
A sorta fix was using WeFi, but even then there's like a 60% chance it won't connect.
Any help?
Try wifi fixer, it helped me while i have problems with wifi

Actualy, I already fixed it by using a static IP adress, but thanks for your effort
Wifi n
I beg your pardon but I have a problem with wifi which could be answered in http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=995301
but I can't post there, cause I have no permission. I'm a newbie that does't post too much. That's my first one.
I rooted my wildfire to overclock cpu, I didn't want to change stock rom, so flashed nfinity kernel mc4. Usually I link to 4 wifi servers. After nfinity installation I can't link one of the 4 servers anymore. Is a free access server (named netgear, this factory produces advanced wifi routers I saw). I think the problem could be a question of wifi mode disabled after kernel flashing. Could someone confirm me wildfire uses all b/g/n wifi modes and nfinity kernel disables the n mode? Very pleased if you can give me another explaination of the problem.
Thanks.
Edit: anyway I flashed HDCR v4.1 kernel and now wifi server is accessible again.
Hi,
it's a lot of time that I'm lurking the forum, especially the cm7 and ICS cm9 thread. Thank you developers!
I was using cm7 rc 1.5 and everything was just fine. Finally I decided to try the latest stable. Wipe cache and installed. Restart (and pull out the battery ).
Everything it's working fine, but the wireless, that was working on the previous version. Here at the university I have to use peap/mschapv2.
I try to deleted the /data/misc/wifi/wpa_supplicant.conf but nothing change. Actually after putting the information it looks like as before (but the priority):
Code:
ctrl_interface=tiwlan0
update_config=1
device_name=Motorola phone
manufacturer=Motorola
model_name=TI1271
model_number=1271
serial_number=012345
device_type=1-0050F204-1
os_version=80000000
network={
ssid="Wi-Fi_UniNa"
key_mgmt=WPA-EAP IEEE8021X
eap=PEAP
identity="[email protected]"
password="password"
phase2="auth=MSCHAPV2"
priority=1
}
The result is that under the settings --> wireless it just says "connecting" but it does not connect at all.
Catlog reports a lot of
Code:
wifi doCommand: ret=-1
I googled it, but I didn't find anything interesting.
Don't know if it works with other kind of connections. I will try as soon as possible and post the results.
Going back to rc 1.5 with a nandroid backup works good.
Here a full catlog (cannot put directly the link, new user)
pastebin.com/Hv1KWWVK
Do you have any kind of suggestion?
Thank you,
Peppe

So, the wifi works on a wpa-psk. Again, in the catlog there are lots of
Code:
wifi doCommand: ret=-1
so I guess this is not the problem.
Thanks,
Peppe
So it seems to be solved.
Yesterday, I first tried to copy the wpa_supplicant binaries from the rc 1.5, but nothing changed.
Then, I also copied the tiwlan_drv.ko (i.e. the driver of the wlan) and its firmware from Rc 1.5 and WORKED.
So to me it seems a bug of the wlan driver, though I didn't try to copy only the driver without copying the wpa_supplicant binaries.
I'd like to point out this to developers, but I don't know if they read this board (I cannot post on the dev board). What do you suggest?
Or should I use the github commits system?
Thank you,
Peppe
Could you maybe post a Link to the files from RC1.5 that you mentioned? Thanks

My wifi seems crappy though with RC1.5 :/...it sort of disconnects or loses activity (even though the wifi signal shows it's good)... It's very annoying when i play Modern Combat 3 multiplayer online --'

Unfortunately it's in german, but maybe you can have a look at it with Google Tranlsate.
There is a zip archive, that contains different versions of wpa_supplicant. I didn't test that yet, but I think it could be worth trying which one works:
www.gnuyork.org/download.php?file=wpa_supplicant.zip

To me, it does not seem a problem of wpa_supplicant. Or at least, the driver has something to do with peap/mschapv2, since it was working with rc1.5 and not with the stable.
Though we have eduroam in our university, it never worked (with laptop too). I've never investigated really, since I don't use it.

I gave my Defy to my gf recently so I had extra motivation to fix those little annoyances. I found out that if you switch WPA settings from AES (or auto) to TKIP it doesn't disconnect like that anymore.

Hi,
this is just to say that the problem is still in CM 7.2 RC-0. This time I *just* copied the driver and the firmware from CM7 RC 1.5 and now it works.
Can someone test the peap-mschapv2?
If the bug is real, and to me it seems, can someone post this in the dev section / cm7 dev thread? I cannot (low number of posts).
Bye,
Peppe

Hello everyone, I just tried this, and non of them work, the wifi just turns its self off after about 15 seconds with these wpa_supplicant-s. When I put the original back, it works just the way it always has.
My problem is that eduroam and the university wireless which uses almost the same protocols as eduraom just don't work. Its constantly connecting and disconnecting.
The wpa_supplicant.conf has nothing to do with this because i tried copying it form a friends phone which also has android on it (can't remember which phone it was), the bottom line is: it works for him, and not for Defy users.
Could someone please upload the rc 1.5 wpa_supplicant and tiwlan_drv.ko, because the link for rc1.5 is dead.
Also could you mention where to place tiwlan_drv.ko
Hi gmcgmc,
I can confirm the PEAP/MSCHAPv2 issues.
Beingi able to use my universities EDUROAM-network stopped when I upgraded from stock firmware to CM7. With CM9 it doesn't work, too.
I checked the different wpa_supplicants available via the link DD23 posted, with no success. With one supplicant it didn't even try to connect, 'cause it didn't store the entered settings. With some of the other supplicants it began to connect, but got an error during authentification. Maybe next week I'll be able to post a log.
I will give the driver/firmware thing a try.
Regards
kadolf
Me too having a wifi issues with CM7.2 RC2, it was working with my CM7.1 RC1.5 but i installed CM9 after that and it stopped working...Can someone help me fixing this please.
Just to make a resume.
Stock rom and CM 7.1 RC 1.5 work good with mschapv2 (at least for me ) while CM 7.1 stable and CM7.2 RC* don't work.
To my experience wpa_supplicant has nothing to do with this, as copying the driver from RC 1.5 works.
The last time I copied the following files (my guessing is that actually just the first file is needed. But anyway I copied all of them)
tiwlan_drv.ko --> /system/lib/modules/
fw_tiwlan_ap.bin --> /system/etc/wifi
fw_tiwlan_ap_rfmd.bin --> /system/etc/wifi
The right procedure (for me) was:
Turn off wifi
Delete (or rename to keep your passwords) /data/misc/wifi/wpa_supplicant.conf (rename e.g. to wpa_supplicant.conf.bak)
Rename the old files you are going to write
Copy the files (I used adb, you can use whatever you like)
reboot
Now it should work. If you want use the old wpa_supplicant.conf just delete the new one and revert the ".bak" while the wifi is off.
By the way, the last trick works always when the wifi is stuck (i.e it doesn't see any network):
turn off the wifi
rename the wpa_supplicant.conf
turn on wifi and check that it sees networks
turn off wifi
revert wpa_supplicant.conf
turn on wifi --> finished
No need to reboot!
I've two questions:
1. Can someone test if it is needed just the first file? If so, we may (actually I don't know how...) create a flashable zip
2. Can someone post this on dev thread?
Bye,
Peppe
PS: I've uploaded the files.
Hi gmcgmc,
thanks for the files.
Unfortunately I can't test them until next monday.
If I have some results (may they be good or bad ones) I'll post it.
Greetings,
Kadolf
Ok.
I've made a bur report through cm bug tracker
http://code.google.com/p/cyanogenmod/issues/detail?id=5313
So I confirm the bug/issue under CM 7.2 RC3. Copying *just* tiwlan_drv.ko works.
Bye,
Peppe
wpa2 issue
solved
I tried it with just copying tiwlan_drv.ko - behavior like before.
Then I copied the two other files, too - doesn't work for me and it stopped working with open networks.
I'll try to restore the original WPA-Supplicant, because I've overwriten it a half year ago (while trying to solve the problem) and lost my backup.

How did you copied it? I tried with RootExplorer and it didn't work. I had to use adb (after remouning system in rw). Something like that
Code:
./adb push "tiwlan_drv.ko" /system/lib/modules/
And yes, restore the original wpa_supplicant.
Bye,
Peppe
The issue is still present in CM 7.2 Stable.

my dual band router worked fine on my W on stock GB
after upgrading to CM9b4, it doesn't even detect my router or my work network
i changed the router settings to 2.4GHz only and no luck
wiped everything and reflashed
installed WiFix manager
nothing works
i think its something with the drivers or the baseband version
any help is much appriciated
i tried my old router and my phone detected it but when i hit connect it tells me that it's out of range
i installed WFix Manager and now it connects to the old router only,,, still doesnt see the Linksys ea4500 dual band router
i returned back to stock
it's really slow in games now
any help regarding the CM9 wifi issue would b great
OMG dont remind me... I spent huge amounts of time trying to fix that problem and i did everything i could! NOTHING helped... then i decided to just go back to stock rom and forget the dream of having an ics. i just come to the forum, take a look at the ics dev topic... and think "i should install this"... but then another thought crosses by " r u sure?! r u really gonna waste a whole lot of time installing the newest build and then trying the best to make wifi work and just fail and re-install stock AGAIN??!!!" no way!
I hope someone can help you anyway...
I hope someone can help us both
thank u for replying
i had same problem with wifi i tried wifi manager from market and it worked
thanx arty .. next week end i'll update to ICS again and try this app
It's Dec 21 now, and CM9's got its RC2. I think you guy should consider trying again 'cause CM9 is way better than stock.
My beta 4 worked fine with wifi.
i have this problem with remICS cm9 rom. soe body help (
............
edit: i did it using this app:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?p=21406675
anybody has any sugestion on how to get this fix, i am trying to install the wifi calling app on the cm nightly.
I am trying to figure this out first but I don’t know where to start.

You are better off adding to this thread, wifi calling is a t-mo only thing and built into framework...think some kernel modifications would be needed, not just a matter of installing apk and libs, otherwise all aosp roms would have it already...

Hello
I'm new here so they wouldn't allow me to post on the Dev section, anyways, I bought my Xperia S with Android GB in it and it has been with me for a while so i keep updating it. I installed the last software Sony has (JB .96) before i started flashing custom ROMs, however, i noticed that the WiFI stopped working in all the JB versions (.200, .211, .96) and when i did some research i found that Sony has activated its restriction program on some countries these are Sudan, Iran and Syria, as far as i know. me, i'm from Sudan, i figured that the the device shuts down the wifi ONLY when it detects the SIM card, as when i try to remove the SIM of turn on AirPlane mode (then restart the Device to start on AirPlane mode) the wifi works just fine.
when the wifi is locked, i can still turn it on, but the device starts to get very slow and it keeps searching for networks forever, and when i turn it of it take a loooong time to do so. installing custom ROMs did not fix this problem as most of the ROMs are based on the JB builds. i tried other solutions like trying to change the country code and so, but still, no luck. i might have tried lots of things here but frankly i'm not a developer, but i succeed to flash ROMs and Kernels by following your instruction, which u do very well on it .
I though that you guys did not encounter this issue before because you are not is a in a country that is under "US sanction" , but i'm sure you would have fixed this problem if you have heard of it
sorry for the loooong post hehe.
just one last thing, I LOOOOOVE what you guys are doing and i really do appreciate it, i WANT to donate but, there we (guys from Sudan)
can't create a PayPal account or so, again "US sanction".

Can,t u just flash for example PureSlim KitKat rom? Im using it now, it's working 100% fine and much faster than JB or any modded JB. Im 100% there will not be any wifi restrictions here.

Hi There
I'm from Sudan too and I'm facing the same problem as @BMBcin I've tried Zillions of ROM's to solve the problem (I don't know about the restriction thing but putting the phone in flight mode didn't help either , my friend have Xperia Z and WiFi is working fine for him ) if someone come up with a solution please post it here
