As many of you know, since the 4.3 update, WiFi on the galaxy nexus stops automatically scanning after going into deep sleep. The only way to get it to scan again is to go into the WiFi menu or toggle it on and off. Let's try to find which change in 4.3 broke this on the galaxy nexus.
I have been looking through the changes that have been made between 4.2 and 4.3 to how wifi is handled and may have found what is causing the issue.
I think I may have found something. In /system/etc/wifi/wpa_supplicant_overlay.conf
Theres a line:
disable_scan_offload=1 (has to do with allowing scanning to be offloaded to the driver)
This line didn't exist in 4.2.2. Change it to 0 and reboot and see if your wifi scanning doesn't stop working after a while.
I just ran an errand and it connected perfect when I got home which is usually when it stops working. I need further testing but would appreciate some more testers to see if there's a real change in behavior.

No its not fixed in 4.3.1. I am on cm10.2 4.3.1 and without this modification it definitely stopped scanning today.

Would it be possible to find a fix for the data hand off issue using the same thought process? A simple edit to a text file and problem solved? Wouldn't that be nice!

Unfortunately I had it stop scanning yesterday. I gotta look more deeply.
I don't quite understand what you mean by this. Are you saying that if you go into deep sleep WiFi just stops working or something?
Are you by chance thinking of this?: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=42665427&postcount=2459
Also in WiFi settings on 4.3 there are more options there than there was with 4.2, just try looking through them, I believe there's even ones for battery savings or something. Also is a setting to allow WiFi to turn itself on to get a more accurate location automatically or something, among other things.

I am currently running jedi rom x10. I was on x11 but was having this weird issue so I reverted back. The issue is still here. When I'm home I always use wifi. If I'm home connected to wifi for awhile and I go out it doesn't allow 3g or HSPA to connect. I have to reboot the phone for it to work again. I'm guessing this is a rom issue? I haven't tried a different rom yet... anyone have suggestions?

I am gonna have to say it probably was a bad download. Even if u did a reflash it probably was not with a fresh download. I have had similar issues and it took a while to get the download right. I always shut off my antivirus in case it wanna get dumb a block a file it thinks it bad. I have been on the rom u are using now and left cause if u try and ask a simple question u sometimes get flamed. It was just a bad experience with a few idiots over their.

In case it helps you, this Samsung Galaxy Note 2 ROMs list is regularly updated.
It's usually updated daily, but I'm preoccupied with immigration and work stuff at the moment. As soon as things settle down, the daily updates will resume.
used Tweaked....best rom i have ever used
solid rom, with all the features of stock phone plus a ton of additional features such as skip tracks with volume and changing the colors of toggles and text, clock etc, asop lockscreen and more
with aroma you can install what you want or remove what you want, ++++
no reboots or freeze and excellent battery
Tweaked is my favorite TW ROM. Very stable and tons of options.

Jedi Master 10 is the best ROM i have used so far.
i have issues with the phone SOMETIMES freezing when i open certain programs. the Quadrant Benchmark Test. It will happen with the CPU Manager. I let it handle the problem like a PC... I wait. The issue seems to have resolved itself after a while. also, some widgets are cut off. like my alarm clock doesn't fully show.
I am currently getting a consistent benchmark score of 7800. the FPS on the test is even at 58 most of the time, sometimes flickering to 59.its the smoothest i've seen this phone run the test
in all honesty. I would run the PAC-man ROM all day, but they seemed to have completely disabled all S-Pen functions (which is half my note 2 use). and i dislike the Android Keyboard. I prefer the Samsung keyboard with the numbers at the top like a laptop. I also do not like the quickness of changing from screen to screen its a snappy ROM with almost no flaws that I can detect
I also like CleanROM, but it has some things about it that turn me away from it. The auto correct function when texting is a bit sloppy. the S-Pen functions and writing don't seem to be as good. the speed of the phone is around 5000 on the benchmark.
if you don't use the S-Pen functions, and don't mind the Android Keyboard, try PAC-man.

Known current issue with the rom. It doesn't handle the /0 folder properly. I just formatted my sdcard to fix the issue, then pulled my data back over.
This is only the 2nd public build for GNex that China has made, so there are gonna be bugs.

init.d support, fixed GPS, fixed TCDMA-64, some kernel optimizations, WAY more stock icons, and weather enabled lockscreen (still not perfect on that,) hosts file patched to block ads, AdFree app is installed (can't get it from Play Store anymore.)
Next build should have a lot more though.

What are things you've noticed so far in the alpha/beta builds of Android 4.3?
As of 8/10,
- (Cosmetic) I like the addition to the LTE signal. On cm10.2, the 4G icon has been replaced by "LTE". (Does not apply to SlimRom.)
- Device appears to be much, much smoother and consistent.
- AOSP keyboard no longer opens a window to save a word to the dictionary. It just does it once you hit save. (This one is a big plus for me.)
- LTE, while speeds haven't necessarily matched my Touchwiz experience, I can safely state that LTE, even with slower speeds than Touchwiz is loading pictures/videos a lot faster. It's much more noticeable how LTE connectivity has improved when going to a 4.3 rom on this device.
- Required to enable root via developer settings prior to using any application that requires root access. (This is a security feature but for someone that flashes ROMs on nearly a daily basis, it can become a bit tedious since it's just an extra step.)
Find anything new? Share your findings here.

Edit: I do have a 3000 mAh battery, though!
Battery has been great on slim it's also noticeably faster than 4.2 ... Camera is buggy as !-!311, that's really the only thing wrong with it though... My friend did just send me a file to flash to fix the camera, haven't flashed it yet so idk if it'll work or not

Is camera still buggy? what exactly is buggy about it? I havent tried an AOSP rom in like 6-8 months because first time I flased one my sd card got corrupt. I believe it is formatted correctly to where IT wont happen now and thinking about finally making the switch since touchwiz development has kind of slowed down recently and im starting to get bored. Main thing keeping me on touchwiz was the camera. I take a lot of pictures. Are there any other issues that would keep me from using an AOSP ROM as a daily driver? Bluetooth issues,random reboots,freezes ect...
I never had the luck of running a 4.3 build perfectly. Phone ended up crashing and getting stuck on the Samsung Galaxy S3 boot screen.
Latest carbon runs quite fine 8-29 nightly. However, I noticed Bluetooth doesn't appear in the toggles nor can you enable torch in the power widget. Anyone know a work around to fix this?
Yes

Anyways.........anyone know a good cm11 kernel? currently i am using stock kernel and maaaan its missing so many functions D:
testing since yesterday, the rom is stable and whitout problems, don't had crash etc, just have a glich when u take a screenshot (in the preview) but the captured immage is fine.
I think the only thing that must be fixed is the browser, some times is choppy, double tap for zoom sometimes don't works and the video preview don't work.
I'm not sure but i have noticed a slight battery drain, more than the 4.3 stock:good:

pretty stable nightly
Using CM11 nightly since yesterday. Had no issues except the screenshot preview. Screen shots are gettive saved correctly though. Also a little drop in battery life but maybe cause I am using it more. Is good for daily use.
I have flashed the nightly and there are 2 issues so far.
1. google now does not work
2. Spotify only plays 5 seconds then it goes mute while the playback continues.
I've found another issue: except for whatsapp and SMS I don't get any instant messaging notifications. Fb messenger as well as hangouts don't show anything in the status bar.
Funnily I use hangouts for SMS and it shows SMS...
Can someone confirm that?
Apart from that the only thing that really bugs me, is the glitch when playing music and powering off the screen. I would call it Playback-bug.
I dirtyflashed though. Too lazy to wipe, don't want to lose a lot of the stuff.
If nothing helps, I will wipe...
