I flashed jelly bean on my google playstore GNex. since then the wifi performance has diminished. my laptop, ipad, printer and tv, all in the same room have full 5 sticks of connectivity whereas my nexus randomly changes between 1-3 sticks and sometimes drops for no reason. i have flashed the verizon wifi fix posted earlier but the problem seems to have worsend a little. it was fine when i was on 4.0.4. can someone suggest a fix or give me a flashable file of 4.0.4 wifi radiofiles? Any help would be resoundingly appreciated. thanks a lot in advance.
wifi "radio files" are within the kernel.
try franco kernel r210 or trinity's jb kernel
thanks for the quick reply. simply flashing them via cwm will do? will that change anything else other than wifi? thanks.
I have the same issue with weaker WiFi signal. I would rather stay on the stock kernel for now so any help would be appreciated.

read what a kernel does......
@krnchicken753: cant complain when the 'possible fix' is there but you aren't willing to try it. you could always go back to ics which is more stable.

Hi all, I'm running CM 7 stable with latest radio (7.15.35.16) and 2.6.32.17 kernel. I I wiped data, cache, and dalvik cache before flashing cm7, then the appropriate gapps. The problem has been ongoing with other cm 7 RCs, but doesn't happen in 6.1.1. I am able to connect to wifi networks, but I can't load or reload anything in any app. The icon stays white/gray on the status bar instead of turning green like the data network icon does to show it's fully working. Tried the android dev forums, but haven't found anything that fixes this. Any help would be much appreciated.
<strike>So I found a way for data to work while on wifi. I have to enable gps and have it lock on in google maps in order for the wifi to send and receive data instead of just being connected and doing nothing. Don't know much of the code stuff so if anyone can figure that one, be my guest!</strike>
Thanks to ilostchild for the fix in the last post. Pull 'tiwlan.ini' from cm6.1.1 and push it to cm7. Located in System>ETC>WIFI folder. Mount system before pulling and pushing files. Good luck!
I believe your kernel is geared for FROYO not Gingerbread. You might need to reflash the ROM and don't flash any "new" kernels as of yet. It may break your wifi.
This is the kernel that came with CM 7, unless I'm mistaken. But I'll try the re-flash option. Update later. Thanks for the suggestion.
You're right, i'm an idiot haha. Have you synced your google accounts to your phone yet? The green and grey signifies your connection to google servers.

I did. I did see the green and grey while on mobile network, but only grey when on wifi. Should I not let the phone restore everything once I reflash? I might try that and make sure every aspect of the google account syncs before attempting a wifi connect. Either way, I can always go back to cm 6.1 Thanks.
Try nightly 39, I read that was fixed in it. I didn't have the problem so I can't say if it was.

Tried it as well... No dice. I guess I'm one of the (un)lucky ones. Thanks, anyway.
get the tiwlan.ini from cm6.1.1 and push it in cm7
its in etc/wifi
the do a reboot and try to connect to that
This worked for me, thanks!
I have made a flashable zip for people who don't like adb, etc.
cm7wifi.zip

Would you be able to make a flashable zip with the stock wifi files? I've been having problems with CM6 and 7 wifi.
I don't think anyone has ever had a problem with the stock rom wifi. It would solve nearly anyone's problem.

The stock wifi files wont work with cm7, because cyanogenmod uses mostly generic drivers for things we dont have source for. Have you tried formatting the system in recovery? format everything except your sd card, reflash cm7, then add the twlan.ini from cm6. thats what worked for me, and i was one of those "unlucky ones."

Tried flashing this zip but didn't work. Just seemed to get an error and abort.

you could try stock.. there is lot of stock roms jus pull it from there and push it in and tell us the findings if it worked or not
i found this fix by another user in another thread burried some where, and im jus sharing.. i dont know the other user though, thanks to him/her
Currently using latest Gummy was using AOKP M5 and b35. When I connect to wifi I can no longer send/receive MMS. The only way to fix is to turn off wifi and reboot. Then I can send or receive MMS but as soon as I connect wifi it is broke again.
Any help with this would be greatly appreciated. Thanks.

You could always go back to a 4.0.3-based ROM, as the data drop issue was introduced with 4.0.4.
In the meantime, toggling airplane mode may be quicker than a full reboot.
Have you tried the latest Leankernel ? It includes all the fixes from the linux kernel and I never had any connection problem actually.
I have tried airplane mode toggle on/off and it does not reconnect data for me only a full reboot seems to do the trick.
Ill give that leankernel a shot here in a bit. Thanks.
Ok, I tried leankernel from the link above.. no change, issue is still there.
Suppose I'll have to try and find a good 4.0.3 rom now. Any recomendations? Most seem to be 4.0.4
no problems with any cm9 nightly with stock cm9 kernel + UGCL1 radio
I've never been able to send MMS with WiFi turned on, not on 2.0.2, 2.0.3 or 2.0.4. I dont have to reboot the phone, I just toggle WiFi.

This is exactly what I switched to and it works perfect!!
ok, so here is my problem,
i was running 4.1.2 official, "Everything" worked fine, and i mean everything, it was a brand new nexus,
then i unlock bootloader, root, flash PA3.0, flash PA GAPPS, flash trinity kernel,
"Everything" still working, no issues,
i wanted to update my nexus with most current bootloader and baseband and anything else that came with the stock 4.2.2, and then reflash PA3.1 and new franco kernel and now my wifi scan doesnt work, no networks show up, but yet if i manually enter a network, my wifi is working, but still no scan results...
im lost, did 4.2.2 borf my wifi scanning somehow? or is it something google "added"
30 views...
not one reply..
come one guys, someone has to know something
Actually, I recently noticed something similar. I flashed ak stock jdq with the WiFi 3.4 drivers and noticed I cannot see any networks on WiFi analyzer, even though I'm connected. Anybody else notice this?
Update: I flashed back to the stock kernel with 3.0 wifi drivers and i can scan again with farproc's wifi analyzer, so I know wifi scanning works on 4.2.2.
its good to know that im not alone here,
i dont recall what i did, or how it happened, but i dont think ive changed anything in my setup,
i still dont have scan, but yet still if i manually add a network, it will connect, it also shows my unlocked, open dd-wrt router, but it will not show anyone else's locked routers around me, but yet my nexus 7 is showing all kinds of wifi points
I'd bet it has something to do with your custom config. Does the kernel you're on use the 3.0 kernel wifi drivers, or the 3.4 drivers?
not a clue, and wouldnt know where to look
In the kernel's thread. I think if you tried stock, your scanning would work fine, but it seems just a small price to pay.
im using franco kernel #366
I have an issue on my phone where if my phone sits for extended periods of time with wifi off during deepsleep, I am unable to turn wifi back on until I reboot phone. I have tried cleanflashing current versions (without any kernels or addons) of carbon rom, cyanogenmod and Tasks rom all with the same issue. I believe this issue may have started since version 4.2.2........I have yet to confirm by relfashing previous version. Anyone else have this issue or have a solution?

What kind of router do you have?

The router's not the issue in this one, wifi on my phone just doesn't turn back on is what the problem is :S It just gets stuck at "Turning Wifi on..." and then eventually just times out.

I just flashed back to the last android 4.1.2 CM (10.1.1 stable from Jul10/13) and the problem goes away. So this is definitely a problem with 4.2.2 and my phone. Any ideas anyone? Is this just a bug?

I have seen 4.2.2 be a little picky with particular routers and their settings, so that's why I asked about your router. Have you tried a different kernel?

Yup, I've trieds Ktoonz, stock cm, and Task's kernels with no luck
I'm still having this issue with CM 10.2 (4.3 based) After a period of time (maybe 30-50min) of wifi being turned off, I am unable to enable wifi again until I reboot. I have flashed to a touchwiz problem and the problem goes away. So there's def something in the aosp/cm framework causing this issue.
I need help I am on CM 10.2 and my signal is low since I flashed the ROM and WiFi doesn't connect at all and data works but soon as i go to the play store it says no connection. In have tried different ROMs and I have the same problem. Carbonrom I can access play store but if I try and install anything it says error. I am thinking its the modem I'm using madmacks modem on cm 10.2. Any help be much appreciated. I am afraid I will need to go back to stock and I'm not if that's going to help....
Update... Really now its just WiFi not connecting. Is there any way to just flash some type of WiFi driver? Or does anyone know of a WiFi fix?
