[Q] Will WI-FI issue be fixed on CyanogenMod(Gingerbread)?

I've been having Wi-fi issue's ever since i bought the phone, traded it in for another one, and still had the wi-fi issue.
MY WI-FI issue was:
My phone would connect to my router the first time, and if i restart my phone the Wireless Symbol is still connected, but there are errors not letting me connect to the MARKET, or the WEB BROWSER!
i'm very upset! but i do love this phone, and i hate that this one wifi issue is ruining it for me!
i dont want to keep on factory resetting it over and over again!
I don't want to:
ROOT It
QUESTION:
WHAT CAN I DO TO FIX THIS? :[

Wait for GB or nothing

what percentage would u give it that the wi-fi issue will be fixed in the next update?

It seems the wifi problem is caused by the bloatwares, probably myaccount. either way, after I uninstall those my wifi works like a charm.

how were u able uninstall them?!

Root........

I have this issue sometimes. I can get the wifi to work by:
1. Turning off wifi
2. Turning on 4G data
3. Turning off 4G data
4. Turning on wifi again
Hope this helps.

I had a similar problem. Wifi would show connected to my router, but it would only sporadically let me actually access anything (market and browser).
Then, by chance when I was trying to use the browser, I got a message that read: You do not have the correct data plan for this device.
I hit the chat support on T-Mobile. Apparently, a feature had not been enabled on my service. (My SIM was in my Nokia N900 before and it worked fine on HSPA+). The support tech enabled it and my G2x was working in 10 mins. Never had any more problems.
There was no charge and no change in my data plan -- it was just some config thing about my account.

It's a shame LG has forced its customers to do weird dances just to get basic functions to work.
Do you have a trick to get the battery to last a day?

I'm having the same problem

Root and uninstall myaccount that's the only way working 100% I just did my friends phone.

If you are having WiFi problems with stock ROM, it is either your hardware (unlikely) or possibly an issue with your TMo account and/or SIM. I have had no issues with mine - either before or after rooting and flashing a few ROM's. I have My Account still working - no effect.
If you are looking to CM7 to make it better - not in the immediate future. I have it on another device, and a notable issue with CM7 WiFi is that it is not as strong or stable as stock.
You should get TMo tech support on the phone and have them address your problem. If a tweak to your data account and/or a new SIM doesn't fix it - you should demand a replacement phone.
All this assumes it is not problems with your WiFi Router - I have had a few issues with some where having more then one or two devices active caused connection problems.

follow this link for you battery

I rooted the device, and removed carrier preloaded apps and made sure my wifi was set to not disable when the screen turned off. I had had issues with wifi calling before and after all that, the audio is crisp and the wifi rarely drops

work around
With a stock configuration you can clear
this problem when it occurs with
setdns app (free).
It restores working dns configuration.
When this is NOT sufficient you may also have to
disable then reenable your wifi. I installed a one-click
wifi on/off app (free) for this.
This is also necessary to force a reconnect when you
go in and out of a memorized wifi zone - it will rarely
reconnect automatically.
I found that rooting the device and freezing the bloatware
only improves the situation only slightly so I don't believe it's
worth the time.
This is at least the 4th wifi thread that's been opened and I've
posted this workaround before. Can we sticky one of these??

I am having a problem as well. It will work for about a min with barnicle and with the stock tethering then i just lose internet conection on my laptop says the device is still conected and still have the h+ on my device.
I did recive the blocked or terminated conection on barnicle i rebotted phone it worked for the min then same thing lost conections. turned barnicle off then back on when it started i recived the blocked or terminated connection as well.

Yay! Tethering is working on my phone......only issue is that the radio stays on even after tethering is disabled, but I was at least able to setup WEP security.

How did you manage to get it to work? I have barnacle up and running and see the wifi on my laptop and can connect to it. Only problem is, that I cannot access internet. I don't get any error messages or anything. It just seems to be a local connection and not routed through.
Any thoughts on that?
Thank you very much!

I used the wifi tether version

I had to adjust the settings a bit to get it working properly and to enable WEP security, but I have used this in my shop for over a week now flawlessly.

I added an advanced a task killer to remedy the problem I was having with it broadcasting when tethering was stopped.

The only issue now is that with the settings I am using, tethering starts with errors in the channel config. This doesn't seem to be effecting functionality at all....it just means that I am most likely locked into the default wireless channel.
Hope this helps someone. Thanks to everyone for their continued efforts!

Sorry for the individual posts, but you have to have 8 before you can post an outside link. Assuming that it works, my next post will include the link plus the prior messages in one post so that it makes more sense.

I used the wifi tether version that I downloaded here:

WiFi Hotspot issues

I've been running CM10 on my HOXL for a while, but I noticed today that I couldn't connect to the wifi hotspot I set up on it.
I've been able to in the past so for the last few hours I've been trying every combination to achieve a working result like it was previously:
tried connecting to hotspot from several devices - none work
tried rebooting ALL devices (including phone) - still can't connect
I can connect to it as long as it's an open network, but this is no good as I want to keep the security on the hotspot
I can tether via bluetooth or I can tether using an app - but I don't want this, I want my wifi hotspot back
I've reflashed from fresh wipe - still can't connect if hotspot has a password
tried both security settings, neither let me connect (but again, open is fine)
I've reflashed back to the stock ROM (Telstra Clean ROM anyway) - this actually works, let's me connect via wifi hotspot with security
flashed back to CM10 afterwards - wifi hotspot doesn't work again.
So basically I can't connect to my wiFi hotspot if it has security applied, while my phone is running CM10 (nightlies)
Anyone share this problem / have any more suggestions to try?

Have you checked the ROM's thread? This may be a known issue and possibly with a fix you can flash.

Yup, been through there and can't find anything (at least through the few dozen pages I've skimmed). Odd thing is it WAS working up until yesterday with the ROM, now it's stopped working. I tried reverting back to an earlier ROM as well, no dice.
I can't post in the thread to ask directly in there either.

Have you been flashing nightlies? The latest updates have been generating new Mac address for your phone when you flash. Its cause several problems. I had to change my router to wepkey access only. Cause I have Mac filters on my router. Not sure if that helps. Good luck though.

Yeah, I read that too. But my phone CONNECTS to wifi fine, the wifi is WORKING fine.
The problem is when I am trying to set it up as a hotspot that the issues are occurring.
To reiterate: it's only when I have security set on for the hotspot that I can't connect to it. (But having an open hotspot is not suitable)

No clue... I just tested hotspot and connected my wife's iPhone just fine. However I had to do a reboot to get WiFi back. They are tied in. Sorry I could be more help.

Sorry, just making sure all options were covered.
Just installed 10/7, still happening.

I wonder if it would have anything to do with what radio your on? I all ways flash 1.85 cause it works best for WiFi and I don't have LTE in my area so it works well for my H. Not sure though throwing out ideas for you.

I have the same issue running cm10 so you are not alone. For as often as I use it though its not an issue for me. The chances of someone jumping on to an open AP I roll for 10 minutes is slim. In the end remember, this is a rom still under nightly development so turbulence is to be expected.

I'm used to the turbulence. I was rocking ICS on my Desire which was, buggy at the best of times, but I was pretty tolerant of it.
Have another ROM running on my Nexus7 as well.
Other than this the CM10 ROM is incredible! I'd love to be able to run the hotspot open, but I know it's get milked by everyone around me... I appreciate everyone's help so far, I'll keep asking around and trying different options.
I find it odd it's not happening for everyone, that it's only started happening recently for me (probably after I briefly tried paranoid android on the device, before returning to CM nightlies), and that it works fine again if I use the stock sense ROM (yuck.)

Last radio I flashed was this:
EVITA_Telstra_2.40_Radio_0.20os.32.09.15_10.113.32.28L
I *DO* have good LTE where I am, so I would LIKE to be able to use it...
Cue dumb question: I flash the ROM then flash the radio yeah?

Well, it woul;ld appear I'm not the only person facing this issue at the moment either.
Also appears that CM10 nightly might be having trouble flashing radios... stay tuned.

Exactly the same problem here. Have been dirty flashing the currently CM10 nightly every couple of days and as of 7/10 hotspot (with password) and usb tethering have been broken. Hotspot works fine without security though.. Flashed back to 2/10 and it's working fine, just have to put up with glitchy graphics a while longer

Yup you're right, I flashed back to 10/2 - hotspot works with security just fine.
How often are you checking the updates to see if the wifi hotspot works with security again?

Looks like it's all fixed with the 12 Oct nightly

Use WEP security, works fine, less secure but i dont think someone will wasting time on hacking portable hotspot.

[Q]nexus 5 cant find wifi

Hey guys!
So I have a problem with my nexus 5.
Lately it seems as if it does not find "new" wifi connections... It connects to the one it already has saved.
If I click scan no wifi networks appear even though there are many(my pc and other phones get good signal)
I also get the notification saying "There are networks available" but when i touch it no networks appear...
Any ideas?
Cheers!
EDIT: I just tried adding the SSID and it connected fine and works great.... So the problem is the actual scanning...

You say that it happens "lately". So it worked previously? Anything change right before the problem arose? What is your phone's configuration, i.e., ROM, kernel, Xposed, runtime, etc. Have you rebooted the router? (I know, your other devices see all networks, but, what works for one may not for another)

I would suggest that the router you are connecting to is set to not broadcast the SId - simple (but not too effective) security measure.

Same problem here! I got my N5 yesterday and wifi was perfectly connecting to my router. The I unlocked the bootloader and root by using WugFresh's Nexus Root Toolkit and phone is not detecting anymore my wifi network. Phone wifi works since I see the others wifi around but not mine!:crying::crying:
I did the following but problem still present:
- powered off the router
- changed SSID on router setup
- removed security on router setup
- add manually the wifi into Nexus 5
I have no clue on what I can do more....pls help!
EDIT: solved: I noticed my router was set on specific channels for wifi, then I modified to AUTO

If i remember correctly, Nexus 5 version 4.4 had issues connecting to WIFI channel greater than 10.
I had this issue also.

Mobile network internet access stopped working

Yesterday was like any other day, I took the bus to work and enabled mobile hotspot on my Oneplus 6 so I could do some work. On my way home in the afternoon, I did the same thing. This time however, I had exclemation marks on the mobile network symbol in the statusbar. Tried enabling hotspot anyway but there was network. Rebooted the phone but still the same issue. Oh well, I thought it was just my carrier then. When I came home to my wifi, I checked my carriers status information on their websites and there was no disturbances. Then I restored a backup which failed and I had to reflash the phone entirely with the latest pie zip. Today, I still don't have any network on my sims. I use two sims but they are using the same carrier. I also asked around my friends which has the same carrier and they have network...
I would understand if something might have happened when I reflashed the phone last night but that does not explain the sudden malfunction of the network on my bus ride home, the phone had worked flawlessly for a whole week.
This thread seem to be about the same thing and I tried the solutions regarding clearing caches and settings but it did not work:
https://forums.oneplus.com/threads/...ot-working-but-network-bars-are-there.844978/
Could it be something with the IMEI number? But it doesn't explain why it stopped working out of the blue. I can see both my IMEI numbers in the settings and I have also tried install Magisk 17.2 beta as suggested by another user. I think I still have a backup of the modem on my pc. However this is from when the network still worked and then suddenly stopped working.
TLDR: I have full reception, Calls and SMS work, there is just no Internet connection.

Yep, that is off. I have also reset my APN setting and double checked them with my provider, it didn't help.

No hotspot
I'm having a similar issue, I updated to android p stable and since then I can't use hotspot. It turns on fine and says devices connected but internet doesn't work on the connected devices. This seems to be an issue with Android P because my gf also has the op6 and I tried hotspot on hers before updating and it worked fine, then updated and it stopped working for her too. I have also tried clearing cache and manually entering the APN. I need to be able to tether to my laptop and tablet for work so anyone solution to this problem would be highly appreciated.
Thanks.

Although the problem I decribed in this thread isn't the hotspot problem, it was caused by my carrier. But I also have issues with hotspot, my laptop has trouble finding the wifi from the phone.
