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.

I'm referring to the inability to sign in to Google Talk or download Market apps when connected via the Sprint network, as described here:
forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=815345
To summarize... When connected using Sprint 3G, I often get these problems
- Can't sign in to Google Talk (I get the message "Cannot connect to server, will retry shortly"
- Can't download or update apps (I get stuck on "Starting Download...")
- Other internet features work OK
- Switching to Wifi solves the problem
no problems at all for me
why is this here ?? should be in
Q&A
and no im not
Yeah just started today though?

Not as much problems as you're having posting in the right section.
BOOOOOO-YAAAAAAAAAaaaaaaaahhhhhh!!!!!!!!!
lol......j/k.....I couldn't help it. To answer your question: No, I haven't. All my rom/kernel/software info is in the sig. I've had an update/download hang on "starting download" before, but I'll just cancel the download and restart it and that usually fixes the hiccup. If not, it's nothing a quick reboot won't fix. Try clearing the data and cache from the market app.
P.S. If switching to WiFi solves the issue, it could be poor reception that is causing the said problems to happen. I get very poor 3G reception in the building I work in, and many things have problems working when I'm not on WiFi.
I have this problem as well. If you do find a solution, let us know! I've had this problem for a while now but could not pinpoint when it began. I know I didn't have this problem on 2.1 though. Definitely not due to weak signal (Chicago).

Were you running 2.1 on the same device?
And, I'm guessing you were rooted both with 2.1 and 2.2, right?

omg.. classic response. job well done sir. i am still laughing.
+1 on the advice too
uninstalling the market update usually solves the problem for good. Ive noticed it on hybrid fr83/91 roms as well
rooted with fresh and kingkernel 10 and have had apps hanging after downloading and wont install/update...
I had those problems for a while a couple days ago. They said it was a network problem. It resolved after about 8 hours.
No problems here. Using 135 nightly.

Go under applications and clear data for vending...sometimes files get crossed. Will fix market problem
I don't have anything called vending in applications
this is a known problem and has been for months....
usually if you uninstall the market updagte the problem goes away for good.
also try a non hybrid rom thats not based on fr83/91
fresh, evervolv, cm, evo nonsense work
I've had this exact problem for a while now. Its incredibly annoying. What usually works for me is stopping both talk and market then clearing the date and doing the same with the HTC_checkin service.
This usually lets me download the app but not always. I haven't tried uninstalling market updates, will that remove any features like the search prediction and such?

I was having the problem with Fresh too. I just installed the new stock deodexed 3.30.651.2 ROM, and I'm STILL experiencing the issue. Very annoying!
a friend and i are having the same problem except she never has a problem connecting to gchat. but when shes not signed in it she's not able to download apps from the market place.
me on the other hand there are times when i cant sign on gtalk at all, i'd either have to restart the phone or switch to wifi like the op said. oh and i'm also unable to download apps when i'm not signed in gchat.
this gets especially annoying when i'm in a middle of a conversation in gchat and i lose connection and cant log back on! and i hate using 3rd party messengers since there arent any good ones out! but trillian is starting to creep up on me.
oh i'm also rooted with fresh
Anyone having data issues? My data either doesnt work today or is EXTREMELY slow to respond. Wondering if its sprint or my phone.
Hey I had the exact same issue yesterday. Data would not work for nothing, but I just restarted my phone and it started to work
Sent from my GirLie Evo with Tapatalk
Yeah Ive restarted, installed a new rom, went to a backup. Nothings working right. Also all free apps that Ive uninstalled are staying in my downloads tab. Seems everything started after the 3.30 update.
I'm having an issue with all Google sites on my phone...on 3G and on 4G. I'm in the Chicago area. It was working ok for a bit early this morning, but seems to be completely down now.
Other sites work perfectly fine and as expected.
Same issue here NE Indiana...guessing a network problem. Restarting didn't solve data being slow. I just turned off background sync so that it doesn't kill my battery waiting on data.
Data issues here!!! Chicago - This blows
Hmm, seems like its this region. Im in Detroit. Sprints seriously getting on my nerves with the constant data issues Im getting here.

Way better than AT&T in my experience where data doesn't work half the day in Chicago and VZW where data is stuck on 1XRTT inside my office IMO. Hopefully they clear this up ASAP.
I came in here to say I'm having problems with google.
Every other site works fine, just not google.
I installed a new ROM and I can't even connect to google. I'm just going to wait it out and hopefully it resolves itself.
Another Chicagoan with Data Problems
Glad to hear that I'm not alone with data issues in Chicago. The problems appear to be intermittent and only on Google related sites/apps such as the Market and Gtalk.
Hope these problems clear up soon.
Same with me in Indianapolis, IN with google with trying to use market.
i too have been experiencing the same problem. But with mine if my 3g is on, it has a hard time trying to sync anything under gmail. If 4g is on it do the contacts and calender with no gmail. sorry for so much detail i was testing it cuz of all the things you guys were saying.
At first i was thinking a remote wipe with any roms with the new 3.30 update on it... just a thought.

I thought it was 3.30 at first, did a nandroid backup and same problems arise.
I'm in Miami, anyone else from my area have problems?
I wonder if its just sprint or google? So for now I just turn of sync. I hope this gets resolved soon!
I think this is on Google's end. I flashed a new ROM this morning, and was able to update everything except for Google services and FB with no issues.
THIS IS STARTING TO SUCK BIG TIME!
I was having the same problem I changed roms, rebooted pulled battery etc. No avail. I was running cm6.1 and realized that I didn't know how to update the profile so I flashed a sense rom updated profile and bam all was good again. Hope this helps someone.
Flash your first backup that should be a sense rom or a sense rom and update the prl and profile then flash back to the rom of you choice that you are using.
I am testing this right now myself to see if this solves the issue. I will report back as soon as my cm6 nightly is done flashing back.
That did not do it for me. I have the sync symbol on my top bar stuck there... I think I am going to diable sync till later on and hope google works it out.
Any one else?
I'm running Myn's stock rooted 3.29 Rom. The reason I see that the sync symbol stuck is because contacts, gmail, or calendar seem to be trying to update.
I tried calling sprint to see if there was an outage, but of course, they suggested a factory reset. Umm, no thank you.
This seems to be an intermittent Sprint network problem, because it works for a minute or two, then goes back to not working.
Does anyone who is NOT rooted have this same problem?
I just called the bastards at sprint and as always they want you to wipe the damn phone and start over. That must be the fix all for them. Screw what the customers have setup on their phone it doesn't matter let them just do it all again.
Waiting for contract to be up so I can switch to big red and get a Droid X.
Ok, I'm not sure what's going on or how to fix this. Yesterday, I couldn't connect to the market, it kept telling me it was a network error. I could still browse the internet no problem. Then I notice that Facebook wasn't updating, so it is a connection issue. It's weird that I could still browse the internet and Google+ would load my streams as well as upload photos that were taken. I decided to do a full wipe (data/cache/dalvik) and re-install Oxygen2.1.6.
The re-install went fine, but now I still cannot connect to the Market so my apps aren't re-installing. Any ideas what might fix this since a full wipe didn't help?
Nothing had changed between the connection working and it not working. The phone wasn't rebooted, nothing changed in my APN settings either. Connection bars are all green.
Everything works fine when I'm connected to wifi.
*Restoring a previous backup doesn't work either and whenever I try to re-flash 2.1.6 I get a bootloop. So confused.
Nobody knows?
Really don't want to flash the RUU and re-root/s-off again if I don't have to. Just seems weird to me that this was working one evening then suddenly not working the next day with no re-boot or anything different installed in between.
I'm not using a desire but rather a nexus s.. but I'm having the exact same issue. I've tried just about everything except unrooting to fix it.

I'm going to try flashing a different radio when I get home but I can't really see that fixing it as it's been working with no issues since I first rooted it a while back.
I tried several radios with no success. Its so strange. Gmail, xda, browser work.. but no market, Facebook, or twitter widget updates from launcher pro. I'm so confused.

Yea, all the same here. My YouTube app doesn't work either.
I've been experiencing the same problems. I've been researching and tinkering and I've found some interesting things out.
First off I am going to assume that you two are on the TELUS network, you never said but that is what I am on and I have heard no information about it occuring on other networks
I noticed it yesterday and initiated several re-flashes and radio updates, none of which helped. Today I went into TELUS and they told me that they have been having alot of people with the telus bravo encountering similar issues. So instead of frowning and walking out I decided to ask if I could speak to the technician.
According to him the issue is not a connection to the network, rather that either the phones radio or the network is dropping the connection partway through data transfer. Therefore you can get through the connection, DNS and handshake processes, but it will fail during the transfer of data, but at no specified time. So I could use Grasscities Tapatalk app because it was just transferring text and other light data, but downloading large amounts of data winds up failing, which is why you can’t get market to work. TELUS does not know if the issue is only affecting desires (looks like it’s wider than just that) or if it is happening on any other network. They are in the information gathering phase and still waiting on a reply from HTC’s technical team to see if it is a problem affecting the radios.
I’ve spent most of the last 48 hours trying to solve this problem with no luck. TELUS has assigned me top level case advisement so I will update this thread as I know more about the problem. In the meantime, and I know how much it sucks, you will have to stick with wifi (as will I T_T)
Yeah, I'm on Telus. That would explain why a friend with a Nexus S on Rogers had no problems at all. I sure hope Telus figures this out soon. For now, I'm subscribing to this thread and hoping you hear something back. I'll update if I notice my data connection has returned to normal. Thanks for the info!
Also on Telus. Thanks so much for the update. I was thinking it was something on their part and have been meaning to call them but I'm at work. Just kinda assumed it wasn't their fault since some data did work, but it's good to have an answer.
Now I just need to figure out why my phone keeps bootlooping on a fresh 2.1.6 Oxygen install.
No problem guys, I know how frazzled you feel; I’ve been the exact same way for the last 48 hours.
Though I must say I am surprised that the forums are not all aflutter with discussion about this. The way the technician at TELUS was talking it sounded like they were getting a lot of calls about this. But dear freaking god I hope they get this solved soon… and if not then they had better let me out of my contract.
glad to hear it's not just me.. this has been happening since I went and saw U2 at the Rogers Centre in Toronto Monday night.. Every time I tried to upload pics I was taking at the concert it would just pause on the upload, or fail out completely.. my signal was dropping to nothing there as well.. I thought, being at the "Rogers" centre, that perhaps they'd set up a Telus signal blocking station
But then the problems have continued through to today. Some stuff kinda works.. I can get FB and Twitter updates from my Colorize Widgets, but can't actually use the FB app. twitter.com works, but facebook.com doesn't. google works sometimes.. but most pages time out in the manner mentioned above.
Quite annoying.
That's weird. This has been happening since yesterday for me, but last night it had no problems Instant Uploading pictures to Google+.
Some functionality has returned for me. Market still won't load.. but Facebook half-loads and the twitter widget in launcherpro is loading again. They must be working on it. I hope they fix it all soon.

Still all down on my end. Hope it gets resolved by tomorrow.

I have been having some connectivity issues and I was wondering if anyone else is experiencing the same thing. It will happen randomly during the day, where I will have full bars of 3g+ but yet when I try to use the browser or any other applications that uses the internet (instagram, FB, etc) nothing will load and eventually time out. Rebooting and turning off 3g/2g/mobile network and back on does nothing. Connectivity seems to come back whenever it feels like it. Ive talked to one of my other friend and she has also experience the same problems on her Note 2 and neither of us has reached the 5gb cap either. Are there any fixes for this?
Have you tried flashing a different ROM to see if that corrects the issue or going back to stock? maybe flashing a different modem my work
