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.

Hi all,
I have a problem with my phone: whenever I'm at the grocery store, the phone enters a boot loop. This is the only location I've found where this occurs, and the phone works great otherwise. I'm running with BAMF Paradigm 2.1, although I believe the same problem occurred with stock as well. I'm not sure how to search for this problem, since most (all?) of the boot loop threads have to do with rooting or failing phones. Anyone have any ideas?
Thanks!
Bryan

there was a similar thread a while back... seems he tried to connect to a wifi spot..
is your wifi on while at the store/going to the store?
here's the original thread: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1805422
This is definitely an odd problem and I want to follow what happens, please do update if/when you get a fix. Probably a location error with something, the prior poster said Wifi, sounds plausible. What all can be affected with a certain area? Wifi, cell coverage, GPS?
Happens to me at work. It occurs when your device keeps trying to connect to a wifi hotspot and you either don't accept or it gets denied immediately but keeps trying. So turn off Wifi when you are there.

That thread describes exactly my problem! Wow, same store and everything. Thanks for the link. I had the Stop and Shop wifi network saved in my phone... I deleted ("forgot") the SSID, lets see if it fixes it. Will report back when I find out. Thanks!

Hi!
I know google doesn't want to implement this feature into Android, but there are a lot of patched wpa-supplicant around that work on other phones. Is there one for our phone? Has anybody managed to get this working? I looked all over but wasn't able to find a solution for HTC One X.
Thanks!

Just by searching, I found this: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1718053
just by searching, i found this and many other things for other phones but nothing seems to work on hox, at least for me, that's why i asked here. there is surprisingly little discussion about this issue for our phone, so i thought maybe someone managed to get it working some way or the other. thanks anyway!

Well I tested it yesterday on my HOX, and I successfully connected my HOX to the ad-hoc network. The add-hoc network even shows up in the available network list on my HOX.
Edit: I created the add-hoc network on a Macbook Pro running a Windows 8.1 bootcamp.
well, ad-hoc networks, created e.g. with an iphone or some other phone, certainly don't show up in wifi settings, but this is usual android behaviour as far as i know. they show up in wifi manager app, but i can't connect to them, even with static ip, as it's described in some possible solutions like the one you posted before.
well, my sailing trip, where i need such access, because during sailing we use an old windows mobile samsung omnia as a 3g wifi router, is unfortunately slowly coming to an end, and back home i won't be having this problem anymore .
thanks for your help!
Ok, So this has been happening for a while. I kept looking up for a fix, and i finally foudn this issue ticket open that looks like others having the same issue, and it appears to be this specific phone.
Is anyone else having this problem and is there an easier way to solve it than resetting the device?
Goggle issue 58230
I will copy the first post, as it pretty much mirrors my experience.
My wifi is always on (turned on the option for keeping it on even when the phone is idle). With older versions (4.2.2 and older), when I arrived at home, the phone automatically was connected to my home wifi.
But when 4.3, sometimes it doesn´t connect until I enter the wifi menu.

My issue extends to work as i work at a school, with many different WAP's, and this occurs sometimes when switching WAP's as well.
Thanks
Oh common, i cant be the ONLY one on here with this issue.

Lyian, I have the same issue as well, on google stock rom as well as all the modded roms, whether 4.3, or 4.4. I may have to junk my (otherwise perfect) phone just for this. I don't see any solutions anywhere.
(Using Sprint version of Galaxy Nexus)
Having searched the threads and read as much as I can (why do people hijack one thread for something totally unrelated?) but nothing seems to work.
Every time I reboot my tablet I have no wireless passwords and have to re-enter them again.
This has happened since I rooted my tablet. I am on stock rom.
Does anyone have any solutions without wandering off topic?
