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?

Post logcats to Pastebin and/or the issue tracker so Wes has more data on the issue.

Unfortunately I'm not familiar with what logcats or pastebin is - If anyone can point me to an issue tracker, I'd be glad to oblige.

Thx donkey72!
I'm new to this device, came from the vibrant. Anyway, I can't find an answer to this by searching Google or xda. I cannot download any apps when on 4g, it just says waiting for network forever. I can do everything else on 4g, i.e. browse internet, apps that use internet with just fine. Although I can download apps on 3g and Wi-Fi with no problems. I am on stock, no root. Is this a known issue? Any advice at all would be great. Thanks in advance.

Its a known issue since the last update with the Google Play Store, My best guess is that it will most likely be fixed soon.

Just a week ago, I flashed Infamous Lite onto my SGS2. I have been very satisfied with it. I noticed today that the dev has disappeared (for good reasons). So, hopefully someone else can help me.
I just tried to setup a VPN on the phone and it will not connect. I keep getting a timeout message. Trying to connect via WiFi has the same result. The instructions I followed are here: https://www.privateinternetaccess.com/pages/client-support/#android_ipsec_l2tp
This worked on a previous T-Mobile phone and also on my SG Tab 10.1. I did not try it on the SGS2 stock ROM. Has anyone else been able to make a VPN connection using the Infamous Lite ROM?
I know I could try any of the several other ROMs here, but I have my phone just the way I want it and I like this ROM. I'd rather not spend many hours trying other ROMs, reloading apps, reconfiguring things, etc.
As an aside, I could not connect to this VPN with a Motorola Triumph on Virgin Mobile, either. I decided it was something specific to that phone. I don't use that phone any more.
Thanks.
It seems that ICS has broken VPN functionality: http://code.google.com/p/android/issues/detail?id=23124
I found a solution. OpenVPN works fine: https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=de.blinkt.openvpn&rdid=de.blinkt.openvpn&rdot=1
Hello. I hope someone can help me and explain what's happened to my Xperia Play. My phone is rooted, and I've been running Cyanogen 9 successfully for several months. This all started this weekend:
* Trying to make phone calls like to voice mail, or to contacts causes the phone to go right back to the home screen. However, on occassion, the phone has woken up and begun making the phone calls I asked for over 10 minutes later.
* I can no longer connect to wireless routers. Every time I try to connect to a router that I'm sure is OK (connects fine with other devices), it repeatedly tries to obtain an IP, before it ultimately reports "Avoided poor internet connection".
I thought perhaps that by reflashing the kernal and the ROM things might correct themselves, but I've had no luck. I went from a CM9 RC0 build from 6/30 to a CM9 RC1 build dated 8/3. If anyone can offer any advice, I'd truly appreciate it. Could something in my hardware have gone bad? Is there any chance Verizon will simply replace the phone for me? Thanks for you help.

BEFORE you re-flashed did you wipe data, cache & dalvic cache?
Dear folks!
I have been experiencing a significant problem for a while already and looking for how to solve it, and I hope someone of you can give me some help. Any advice appreciated. I couldnt find any concrete solution for this.
Let me start to explain you.
My sister is actually the one using Samsung Galaxy S4 mini (not rooted, Android 4.4.2), and we both have the same problem. Mine is Samsung Galaxy S Relay (rooted, Android 4.4.4).
Our wifi download speed from speedtest.net results directly about 40 Mbits/sec and I can't even believe it!
But when it comes to for example Facebook, Youtube, Google Play, it takes a long time for loading, especially the pictures. Worse on youtube videos, in most of the cases, it can't even load anything, it stops and only after several refresh I can see something, and again very slow.
On mine computer, it is all fine though. Also on our mobile data everything is working perfect and fast.
On my galaxy, I have tried different Android versions, but nothing changed, wifi still slow. Whatever we do on our mobile, change the ROM, factory reset, nothing helps. And the strangest thing is, that when my friend tried our wifi on his Nokia mobile, it worked also fast and without an issue.
It may sound strange, but our problem has exactly started when there was an upgrade of the ISP in our city. After experiencing like that, I have called them and they recommended me a new router. The new router didn't change anything.
My ISP suggested me to try another channels on the router.. I have tried them all. Sill the same problem, and they can not help me any further so far.
If it is an andoid issue, what else can I try?
If it is a router issue, what can I try on its settings? I believe there is an interface/connection problem between samsung and my router or new ISP settings, maybe some change in the settings could fix it?
I would appreciate any help from you guys.
Thank you in advance!
// EDIT, SOLUTION
in case it happens same to you,
this is the solution in such a case, but need to be rooted: just disable the ipv6
I used https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=de.lennartschoch.disableipv6 for that
no such troubled lags anymore! it costed me lots of nervs and went to my bananas!
here you go and enjoy!
Please somebody any idea?
// edit: solved!
Just want to share with you my solution: after disabling IPv6, facebook, youtube and google play work fast now! (in case u have a bad ISP (?) like mine!)
