I have a strange problem. I noticed that certain apps (mainly the system apps like Play and Maps) don't work when I'm connected to wifi on my home Asus AC66U router, even though the bars are blue.
What's odd is that those apps work on both 3G and on other wifi networks. That should mean there's a problem with the router somehow, but every other device (PC, laptop, another Android phone) works fine. This has also been a persistent problem so the router doesn't just need a reboot.
I used to run a custom ROM so there's a chance something got messed up when flashing updates, but I eventually did a factory reset and returned to stock. And I've tried clearing the system apps' caches of course. Any ideas?
Might just need firmware update.

Thanks. It did indeed need a firmware update, but that didn't solve the problem. I can try to test it again at a Starbucks or something tomorrow, but I'm pretty sure it's just this router and this phone.

Wildfire with
ROM: CM 7.2
Kernel: 2.6.35.14-InfinityPlay
Radio: 3.35.20.16
For the last year wifi, after a short period of time i can't download, I mean, some times i connect, get into market for example and download/update, but after some time i can't, it's not a market problem because i can't download from anywhere, regardless the app, but i can browse normally(!), the problem is only in downloading. Even if i reset wifi, go in and out of airplane mode, restart the phone etc, the problem stays. Maybe if i try the next day it works ok. I dont know how it occurs or when and why, nor how/why/when it gets fixed...
The problem started when I had rompuzzle 2.2.1 a year before, till now. Since then I have flashed stock rom with 2.2.1, jockerdroid 4.2, cm 7.1, and cm 7.2 that i have now.
I suspect it is a radio problem, but can't be sure.
*Also sometimes I have low gsm signal, even in well covered areas.
Any ideas/suggestions?
Thanks
You said you flashed stock rom, i suppose it was a stock rom from Android?
It really looks like you have a problem with your radio (like you allready say for yourself).
It seems you have the newest one, so try a lower version.
I you have troubles finding a radio because the host is down or something just pm me or try google.
Hope this helped! Kind regards.
try radio 20.10
i have tried all 3 radios, but the problem stays. But i have noticed that when i enable tether and i put in the console the command for reverse tethering *usually* it gets fixed until the next time that i disconnect from my wi-fi.
i have not the same but similar problem,after a while i get dropped from router,even if my phone says its connected...this started to happen after changing our router (which i couldnt and cant set up) and setting up "N" wifi network...i found two options,how to solve it..
1)use free app wifi fixer from google play store (which somehow manages to know if you are connected or not and can automatically reassociate with router again)
or
2)flash HCDR.Kernel_v4_Flashable.zip from op on this page http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=798471
maybe it help, maybe not.. gl
I have *temporary* solved the problem by following the reverse tethering guide... I don't know why but after doing this procedure I can connect normally to my router, and if it disconnects (rarely) I just repeat the steps of the guide.
I recently came from ICS, and having issues with wi-fi there. So I went back to stock, hoping my issues would be resolved. Awesome. They aren't!
Wi-Fi doesn't work. I have/had hashcode's latest kernel flashed. I don't know what to do. Any ideas? D:
Any help is appreciated.
Thank you!
How are you wiping when you flash roms? Maybe you have messed up how your kindle connects to wireless . There has been a Mac address issue with the new kernel maybe yours never reverted when you went back to stock. Have you tried other networks? Have you done a factory restore? Do you mean pure stock not rooted?

I wipe ; Factory Reset, System, Dalvik-Cache, Cache
And basically when I go to TURN-ON Wireless, no networks show. It doesn't even fully turn it on, it gets stuck in the middle of turning on the Wi-fi.
I went back PURE stock, NO ROOT. However, it seems I may have need of getting ROOT back. :/
I'm still curious if you performed a factory restore when you returned it to stock. I suppose your case could be that something burned out the wifi adaptor of the kindle although I bet its rare but not completely unreasonable. After a new clean flash when you reroot we will see those results ?
Probably totally unrelated, but have you ever had the locate-my-kindle software installed? I got similar weird behavior after a while when using that... first wifi networks were slow to come up, then it would struggle to turn on wifi, finally it'd just give an error and crash the settings manager or whatever it's called. I had to get rid of the software. Basically it was storing every single wifi network it ever came in contact with, even for just a second, and having too many entries hosed wifi. Uninstalling it seemed to clear those extra entries and restore functionality.
I do know that restoring your account from Google to your device and letting them keep copies of your wifi passwords can also cause issues although when I was testing roms for some devs on my droidx with known wifi issues ñot allow the Google restore and backup caused similar problems.
ok, so here is my problem,
i was running 4.1.2 official, "Everything" worked fine, and i mean everything, it was a brand new nexus,
then i unlock bootloader, root, flash PA3.0, flash PA GAPPS, flash trinity kernel,
"Everything" still working, no issues,
i wanted to update my nexus with most current bootloader and baseband and anything else that came with the stock 4.2.2, and then reflash PA3.1 and new franco kernel and now my wifi scan doesnt work, no networks show up, but yet if i manually enter a network, my wifi is working, but still no scan results...
im lost, did 4.2.2 borf my wifi scanning somehow? or is it something google "added"

not one reply..
come one guys, someone has to know something
Actually, I recently noticed something similar. I flashed ak stock jdq with the WiFi 3.4 drivers and noticed I cannot see any networks on WiFi analyzer, even though I'm connected. Anybody else notice this?
Update: I flashed back to the stock kernel with 3.0 wifi drivers and i can scan again with farproc's wifi analyzer, so I know wifi scanning works on 4.2.2.
its good to know that im not alone here,
i dont recall what i did, or how it happened, but i dont think ive changed anything in my setup,
i still dont have scan, but yet still if i manually add a network, it will connect, it also shows my unlocked, open dd-wrt router, but it will not show anyone else's locked routers around me, but yet my nexus 7 is showing all kinds of wifi points
I'd bet it has something to do with your custom config. Does the kernel you're on use the 3.0 kernel wifi drivers, or the 3.4 drivers?
not a clue, and wouldnt know where to look
In the kernel's thread. I think if you tried stock, your scanning would work fine, but it seems just a small price to pay.
im using franco kernel #366
Hello!
I've been searching for a long time about this issue but I haven't found aan answer...
I have a rooted GN with original rom and recovery. Yesterday I wiped the phone and now I'm not able to connect to any wifi network.
The phone is always "obtaining ip...". And that's all.
I also have a Nexus S and one computer connected to my wifi and they are working fine.
I also tried to connect to another wifi and the result was the same..
Before yesterday I had no problem, even with the phone rooted.
My android version is 4.2.2.
I tried to reset my router (Netgear), tried all security options (open, wep, wap2, etc).
I have no mac filter... I think I already tried all the "logic" options but I always get the same
I start thinking the problem can be android 4.2but I don't know what is whatt I'm doing wrong.
Thank in advance for any help!
Best regards
Flash a factory build to your device to isolate it as software related.
I had a similar issue with a tplink router, now i have a asus and the issues are gone.

I downgraded to android 4.1 build factory and works. thanks
That's an odd problem.
You already downgraded, so there is no scope for trouble shooting.

I have never had an issue with any android phone connecting to Wifi, but since I just rooted my phone and installed Pure Nexus, I have not been able to connect to the WiFi at work with a DHCP connection. All other WiFi still works.
It seems this has been a long standing android bug, and there are some fixes out there which didn't work. I tried to delete the files in the data/misc/dhcp folder, but there wasn't anything in there. I also switched everything in the dchpcd folder to allow the owner, guests, and others to "execute. Didn't help.
I tried installing a new ROM (Chroma) and I'm still having the same issue. I tried installing a new kernel (Elemental) and I'm still having the same issue.
I installed CatLog, and with no background in programming it's a bit hard to tell what I'm looking at, but it seems like everything works until it gets to a "DCHP Broadcasting" or search or something, and then it just times out and recycles.
Does anyone know what to do?
