Ever since going from MyFroyo RC4 to RC5 & RC6 (and even the Cyanogen RC01, I have had problems with my wifi.
I am posting here to see if anyone else is experiencing these problems, and to find out what changed between RC4 and RC5.
I have no cell service at my house, so when I flash a new ROM, I need to leave the house and go to an area where I get service before I can connect to the Google Servers to set up my device. When on Wifi, I also have problems downloading Google items in the market (such as Google Search Bar) and can't even use Google.com to search for anything. It times out. I can, however, use other websites and download other items (once I've set up my device remotely).
If I am setting this up over Edge or 3G, there are never any problems.
If I re-flash back to MyFroyo RC4, I can use my wifi with no problem to do everything I need.
I really love the updates since RC4 - but am worried that I'll be left in the dust since all the builds since RC4 have had this issue for me. :-/
I'm in the same boat and experience the same WiFi issues.

I've never had a single Wifi issue, although I never really tested on RC1 too much. I'm currently running Eugene's newest CM6, have you tried that one yet?

supposed to be a cyanogenmod issue though i havent experienced it myself (i also have horrible service 1-2 bars edge max) using wifi everything loads up fast and everything downloads just fine! but if i were you i would try the nightlies they are supposed to have fixed the problem by now if im not mistaken
I've experienced a lot of this too. Marker downloads were pretty much not happening for me, no matter what - Wifi or Data. On data, it would download but never install. On Wifi no images in the market would load and no download would activate. I also couldn't use Google.com or sign into Gmail via the browser or other Google services. I did a lot of searching and heard it could be Google.
What I did to fix it... I did some nandroids, I did some wipes and updates and complete formats, etc. What I finally think I had was a problem in my packages.xml file where so many programs were mismatched due to Froyo's ability to use apps2fat32. I think at some point some nandroiding I had done,etc screwed up my package assignments and then I just fresh installed and DO NOT BACK DATA/SETTINGS UP WITH GOOGLE! haha, I honestly think that had a lot to do with it also...Go into your Privacy and turn auto restore off, turn backup data off, then reset your device with a wipe of it all and such, boot up and don't select backup with Google. I've had no more issues really.

I've actually tried the new nightly's and still have the same problems. I've also tried completely wiping it and starting from scratch- and made sure not to back up w/ GOOGLE servers- but to no avail.
I wonder if anyone on here can figure out what changed between MyFroyo RC4 and RC5 that could cause this - seems something is blocking the Google Synch. I've also experienced the problems mentioned above regarding the market items not downloading, no images, etc. Just seems weird that it worked completely fine before RC5, which came out around the same time as the Cyanogen 6 Slide RC1
From my personal experience I'd have to say that wifi is slightly bugged. Drops randomly and occassionally won't detect my network when other Android devices will (any encryption, which is for suckers anyway )
At least I know I'm not the only one w/ this problem. I couldn't find a cyanogen defect for this issue.
Same here. I have no wifi. My g1 connects just fine and my hd2 but on the slide its a no go. Ive tried everything but eventually just gave up. Im using Eugenes Ota update. Im not sure if its just the slide in general but my wifi doesn't work period. It'll connect but if i load up youtube or try the web I get a no connection error. Its very peculiar. Incredibly peculiar.
I am having the same issue. I noticed people talked about it with CM6 rc1 but not everyone was having the issue and the subject died off. Ive tried reloading, wiping everything, htcclay's new version but nothing seems to help. The wifi is just strange will work for a page or two than fail to load or loads half way. Also tried on several different networks. Does anyone know if the driver is the same in eugenes as in these later ones?
After wiping and keeping a good eye on everything, the issue I have with Wifi and the browser is that sometimes it just hangs about 75% page load and doesn't really change unless I leave the phone go for a bit and wait for it to load.
Downloaded Opera Mini (only browser I could find that doesn't use the native browser). With Opera, I've actually hadn't had any loading issues or anything weird like that happen. So many a possible partial-bypass is using another browser? It helped me, just thought I'd share.

Same bugginess happening here, too. Iffy, at best. Other than that and of course the non-necessary FN and CAPS light, this is the only issue, anymore, that I can see.

Thanks for the update - I look forward to the day when I can use the wifi AND a camera MyFroyo RC4 is still working well for me, but I miss my camera
Does anyone know if there is any headway in fixing this issue?

Well I've asked in the normal thread no one answered. Searched and searched and no answers. I flashed RC1 to my slide and wifi goes like this connecting obtaining Ip address. disconnected. I watch the wifi symbol up top come on and go off like its actually turning off and on. I made sure sleep was never and set it to 14 channels with no differeence. I Wiped everything cashe data dvak still the same. i used clockwork and formated the data cashe and system folders and reinstalled and the same thing. If i go back to an haxspersso i connect and stay on Anyone else have this problem found the solution ?
Same here. It's not working for most of us. A few people claim it's working for them. I'm also having problems with GPS. The compass part works, but it can't find longitude and latitude.
Prepare to get torn up by people for posting in the dev section.
But address the issue, im guessing this is the first cm7 rom you've flashed. If you are the type to stay safe and only flash the stable or release candidates, then you probably dont know about the wifi issues cyanogenmod commonly has. I didnt stay on cm7 rc1 long enough to see if the wifi was broke, but its likely it is. Either wait for a stable release or try that cyanogenmod wifi fix thread i saw floating around in this dev section (though that might only apply to cm6).

Wifi and gps are working for me, I think its about half and half. You just hear about the people who have issues, not the people who don't. A select few slide owners have slightly varied hardware, makes developing for the phone a *****. If you need wifi, I would just go back to 6.1, it's your best bet.

I had this problem when flashing CM7 RC1 to both my partner's MT Slide and my MT4G.
Rebooting fixed it.
CM7 Nightly 19 only wifi working for 100%
I know I don't have 3G or EDGE soo wifi is only me
everything works on my phone...wifi,gps,bluetooth... have you flashed the new radio?
Everything works for me, but I have a question being that CM 7 has apps2sd installed how would one know what apps to put onto the sd card? And should I down the the app from market because it will alert you when you can move an app?
Thanks-
I've figured out what is going on. If i use a standard rom i can connect to my N router just perfect. I have my router set to g-n only i could not connect with CM7. i told my router it was ok to connect at 54 and it connected. got to be the drivers.

You're talking about froyo and up's built in apps2fat. It's not a cm7 feature, it's a built in google feature. It will automatically put some apps on the sd card, but you can move them in the manage applications settings menu.

First of all, go to settings>about phone, and check your baseband version. If it says 7.15 somewhere near the middle, you're good. If it says 7.09 or 7.08 or anything below 7.15, you need to update. Flash this. Or, here is Chiefz_Reloaded's direct download link.
Flash that radio update via clockwork recovery. Make sure that you have good enough battery to last you a good 5 or 10 minutes to be safe. I would say have at least a 15 or 20% charge when you flash this. If it dies in the middle, you're totally screwed, bricked phone. Basically, as long as your phone doesn't die or your battery doesn't somehow fall out, you'll be safe flashing it. Don't sweat it.
Again, you only need to do that if your baseband version has something other than 7.15 in the middle of the string.
My baseband version is 47.63.35.21U_7.15.35.16, perhaps qualify the requirement, but still I experience connection breaks on WiFi, I am on latest nightly CyanogenMod-7-02202011-NIGHTLY-Slide.

Some have issues with wifi, it's a result of the varying Slide mainboard hardware. It will probably be fixed in the final or next release candidate. A lot of people say the old build 19 worked for them, but the build #'s reset shortly after RC1 was released so I don't know where you would find it. Sorry
Bump. Mine was working for a while, but stopped. It actually was bumping off my wifi router at home and I had to reset it everytime I tried to connect the phone. It took me a while to figure out that it was the phone that was doing it. Weird.
well ummm its called update rc1 well lest see we have had like 10 nightlys and what are not on rc3 and nightly 74 wifi works on rc3 and all nightlys since so yea get with the times

Gee thanks for the polite tip. And gee, I hadn't thought of trying that. Or maybe I did and it's still broke. I flashed cm6.1 and it works. Again, thanks for the support.
There's a post floating around regarding a file from 6.1 flashed onto cm 7, but I fixed my issues by making my router only send out b and g signal even if it is n capable. Good luck

hi there, maybe epsylon can see this.
yesterday i installed the last nightlies in 2 different defy, that was brought on the same time, and one of them showed the lattest bug in wifi, not connecting with networks with security, and the other one just worked like a charm. I just dont know how this could happen, i installed and updated them on the same form.
maybe different hardware? dont know.
well, everything gone fine with latest nightly
Hi there,
I installed CM7 on my nonblur defy and get to see that WIFI signal is much weaker comapring with my last rom Froyo 2.2.2. I am standing near my router and even here i don't have full signal vs Froyo wich i had full signal in every room from my house. Can i somehow fix this, is there any patch for fixiing this? Is there anyone else having this issue?
thanks for replys
Use cm7 rc 1.5
Got a Headache? It's all in your Head.
try reflash the rom untill it works
I faced the same prolem
you won't find answer since the developers would not acknowledge there's a problem. we must be the unlucky ones having dud defy that won't play well with gingerbread.....
edit: hey, just updated to cm7 nightly 110909 and wifi seems ok. lazy to go back to froyo to compare. so don't know if it performs the same. try it, op. the only thing i'm still not happy with cm7 is the earlier builds consumed about 13% (estimated) of battery life each day is now about 20%

I installed CM for the first time with nightly 110911 and had the wifi issues. Not only disconnects, but as I have two defys, one running CM and the other 2.2, it is clear the difference in the signal strengths when they are side by side.
In Quarx's post he does acknowledge:
BugList:
Some people say that they have wifi problems​
I've tried: Delete the file /data/misc/wifi/wpa_supplicant.conf and reboot. from http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1161460&highlight=cm+wifi
It's been just 20 minutes, but so far so good. Signal strength is comparable and no disconnects so far. We'll see...
Update: I guess it's some sort of intermittent problem as I didn't have it anymore. Now I'm using 110927 nightly and I don't see disconnects anymore, but sometimes it takes a long time to reconnect, but very seldom, compared to 110911 nightly.

i've since move on to miui 1.9.9 and wifi signal is much better. in fact im quite sure it is as good as froyo. i never have drop-out problem with cm7 rc1.5, just weaker signal than froyo. so i guess my defy is not having as serious a problem as yours. (actually it will drop out if i'm further away from the modem when the signal became too weak).
i'll give measel's solution a go when i have some time later. very interested to see if it works. oh and good luck. i really hope it works
Quarx just said some people have wifi problem. so he obviously have not seen it personally. as such i don't think he can work out what's wrong since he has nothing to work on. if measel's solution works then maybe it might give him a clue as to what the problem was.
just find it strange that if rc0 did not have the problem why rc1? surely he could work out the difference between the 2?
edit: tried deleting the file but it didn't do anything for me. still the same. also tried the latest nightly 110914 without any luck.
I have same problem.I flashed CM7 nightly 110928 and find wifi signal is weaker than stock rom. even my defy is near the router and signal is still not full.
my wifi seems to bug the hell out of me with the cm7 rom. it wont send me data even tho its connected as shown by menu and i can ping google just not surf. anyone else in this position before i reflash the rom

I had the same thing happen. On first boot, wifi would work perfectly until I disconnected and tried reconnecting again, it would connect but nothing would happen.
You'll also notice that when this happens, the wifi icon and signal strength icon will no longer change its colour. For some reason it only happened the first day I installed CM7, but after multiple reboots, installation of some apps, everything works fine now.
edit: I also changed my governor to SMARTASS2, (122MHz min, 806Mhz max), but I don't know if that had anything to do with it.

I saw your thread about yours freezing at 806Mhz.. the only thing I can think of is maybe you have a different CPU revision that doesn't overclock too well.. or maybe different RAM which also doesn't allow for higher overclocking.
Got to wipe over this until its finished. cant believe im the only one.
Am I the only one with the WiFi problem.
no mate i have them too! not just wifi but mobile data also it says its on but does nothing and also the colour doesnt change sometimes, same for overclock anything past 600 freezes up.
We should port this conversation over to development (Cyanogenmod 7 thread) - since it appears to be an issue specific to that ROM(?)
I'm having the same issue - running Alquez Cyanogenmod 7 (beta 1)
It's working great. Running smartass2 min 122 max 806 with no problems...
...except that either wifi AND mobile data can theoretically be connected, yet the browser and other programs/syncing can't connect to the internet.
i cant post in development i think i need at least 10 posts lol..
i know its silly but the rules must be obeyed. i just unistalled awaiting the fix.
I tried everything i know, but no joy.

Same problem with me as regarding posting in development..
And same problem with internet connection switching on and off without warning on cm7. was totally chuffed i got it untill this happened. Both the cell signal and the wifi/3g would go grey instead of green when connected..
Got frustrated, changed to tmous ROM, and now hae a different problem; need new radio, 3g not working!
Hopefully cm7 gets solved soon...although apart from my own issue with radio reflash(i think thats the problem?) I really like TMOUS...it is very sharp, and a lot smoother than the ported cm7, in my opinion..
Anyone find a solution, post it!!! Thanks..
Here s one thing i "think" helps...trial and error, as usual...
1; Keep wifi turned off, only keep 3g connection on.
2; Install 3g watchdog (I got Pro version) . This is an app that monitors the 3g connection, and i am inclined to believe may help keep it active. Now, mine is greatly improved with connection, thanks to these factors. Oh, and a few reflashes and a few reboots...
Hope it helps? It has helped me...
