Hey guys. I'm really angry about this problem so I decided to create a topic, although I posted several times in some threads and no answer so far.
I have problem with wifi in ANY ICS or JB rom. It can't recognize any wifi network, sometimes, it even freezes in wifi section in setting. I am sure that I'm doing all of install steps correctly; as I said, I have no problems with roms based on older versions of android. the strange case is that my friends have the same problem. Is it possible that it relates to internet providers in my country? (I'm living in Iran).
Thanks for your help.
anyone?
Not even one person?!!!

Hi there all,
I've installed one of the WM6 cooked roms and have experienced problems with my WiFi and connecting to available hot spots. Before you flame me I have tried the search function but to no avail... could some one tell me if there is a rom which does not cause this issue? Is there a fix?

You must not have looked very hard. The thread right after this NEW one discusses it.... Here.

That thread's all about what to do if you already have the problem (summary... wait). He's looking to avoid the problem in the first place. Seems that now that they know the cause, if not the cure, someone might know what's ROM or procedure is causing the issue for so many people.
Pointed him there as that is most likely where the "cure" AND other information can be found about this issue (ie: don't load this ROM or whatever...).
Thanks Dave for clearing that with Jeffrey. The issue is my wireless lan works on the original os and has not vanished like the others. I was just wondering if there was a version of WM6 for the Jasjam that did not create the issue with the wifi connection. The only issue being it does not connect like to any of the discovered hot spots...
From what I have read the problem is mostly in the latest releases. For example you might want to check the LVSW 07/05 thread as I don't think it had the wifi problem.
it seems all trial and error.. I'm currently (well still actually) using the latest LVSW and i dont have any serious trouble. The one thing was that it wouldnt connect right after the flash but it did after the device detected the network .. No logic there i know
Ye i need to fix my sig
hi all, sorry to be a pain but will LVSW 5/19 update potentially cause any wifi probelms coz i am about to update mine and my gf's and i dont want to get *****ed at. if you know what i mean -.-;
cheers,
kind regards

Although no one can say for sure how your phone and the software you use will work with a specific ROM, the best thing you can do is read the thread specific to that ROM and see what others are saying.
So far I've installed Black 2.5, Black 3.01 and LVSW 5/19 and all of them have given me issues with wifi. My wifi still works but it is highly picky with what AP it will talk to.
With the original WM5 I would regularly connect to at least 6 AP's at various places and now with WM6 using the above mentioned flavours it will only connect to one of them.
I have not gone back to the original WM5 to be 100% sure but if the full RTM HERMES specific WM6 still has troubles then I will be most disappointed.
Hey guys,
I'm a user from China, so maybe have some expression problem of English, forgive this.
So, here is the problem.
I like JJ's HYBRID ROM(baseband 70) with Stock ICS Beta Kernel in the thread, but it came across that the Wifi is unstable in common use. I can connect to the router, but after some time, maybe 10m or 20m, it break into disconnect. So I went into the wifi config, the status was "obtaining ip address" or "auth", then it connected.
Also I tried other kernel like DooMKernel with wifi modules applied or Arc Night. But obviously it appears the same problem.
And I also tried the official rom. It still appears the same problem.
And I also searched the similar thread and install the wifix.apk, it also the same prolem.
Anyone can give me some help? It troubled me a lot.
Please share your solution, thanks.
Ps: There is no wifi problem in GB.
ya... many ics users reported problems regarding the wifi.
Its a commom issue on xperia arc. Check this: http://talk.sonymobile.com/thread/14324?tstart=0

Any suggestion? It really really troubled me a lot. So yesterday I turned back to GB. But I'm still trying to figure this problem out.
Thank you.
I've read the issue. Got nothing useful for me. So any suggestion for me? Thank you.
Hi guys, just wanted to preface that I checked out multiple threads on 'weak wifi' issues and could not find a solution.
Here is my issue:
- I have a rooted (S-OFF/ENG-OFF) HTC Desire HD from Telus.
- I was running Android Revolution but decided to try a different ROM. At this point I had no trouble with wifi.
- Anyway, I tried an ICS ROM (IceColdSandwich-8.0.AOKP) but started noticing that the wifi connection was very weak. It would connect, open a couple of sites, but within 2 minutes, the signal would weaken to zero bars and it couldn't connect. The same thing happened with Google Play, Gmail sync etc.
- I know it is not a router issue as I have a HTC Desire Z right next to me and it has no problem connecting.
Here is what I've tried, software/hardware wise:
- Took off the battery cover and cleaned the contacts.
- For Sense ROMs, I went to advanced wifi setttings, and selected "Best Wifi Performance" and/or DLNA auto-IP.
- Turned wifi on/off.
- Tried a bunch of ROMs (Virtuous_Quattro_RC3, BlackICE v 1.50, DHD_WWE_3.12.405.1, AOSPX-1.0, etc.)
- All ROMS have been flashed after a full wipe using Android Revolution ROM's Full wipe (which works for all roms in CWM)
- Flashed new radios (26.14.04.28 and a couple of others)
What more can I do?
Thanks.
Hey I am currently running the same rom on a Telus DHD rooted.
I had the same issue and it apparently has something to do with whether your network is b or g based. If you play around with your routers settings and check to see which band you're currently using on it, change it and check it out. 5ghz is what mine is running and its working great.
Also as a note if you ever have problems with joining a ad hoc network make sure that you have it set as a open network with no passwords otherwise it won't even let you get a IP address for some reason. Its a limitation of all the ICS roms currently.

Thanks for replying. I'll try it out. If this information was already covered in another thread, I'd appreciate it if you could link me to it.
Hi,
I've meaning to ask this a while ago but never had a chance to. I also tried looking for threads related to wifi problem with the note 3, but they all dont seem to be the same problem as the one i'm having.
Whenever I use touchwiz roms: Darthvader, Jedi, Hyperdrive. My wifi connects but would stop working after a while of not using my phone. The wifi icon says it's connected but nothing would load, I always have to turn wifi off and on to fix this problem, then when phone idle for a while then the problem would come back.
However when I use AOSP roms, the wifi is working great. Always connected like it should be. Anyone else have this problem? Is there any fix that I haven't heard?
P.S Sorry if what I said is confusing, English isn't my first language.
I have the Verizon HTC One M8 with s-off and rooted. I really want to use an aosp ROM, but I have wifi problems on all of them. I know that other people were also having issues with wifi disconnecting, but that is not my problem.
The wifi range is terrible. I have to be close to the wireless router to use the internet. When I am close the speed is perfect, but as soon as I move a few rooms away it cannot download anything. The phone still shows it is connected to the wifi with full bars but its impossible to even load a webpage. When I use my iPad from the same distance I can play HD video no problem.
The strange thing is the issue does not exist when I am using a Sense based ROM (stock, ARHD). I apologize if this is a common issue that I am unaware of but any help would be appreciated!
Its been a very well known and reported issue since the release of any AOSP based ROMs. Its not really strange that it works on Sense ROMs considering Sense ROMs are specifically made for this device. AOSP based ROMs have to be made to work on this device. You'll just have to be patient and wait for it to be fixed. Other than that, nothing can be done at the moment.
Dang, I thought for most people the issue was with wifi dcing! Oh well, next time I will make sure to look into it more before making a post. Also, where is a good place to look for updates pertaining to issues like this?
Thanks!
For updates you can look in a few places.
