Does anyone know of a good app to fix WiFi on these phones? I remember the nexus having one. I am always having to cycle wifi off/on to jump on AP's right around me. I have wifi set to never turn off, I'm using CM7.1 and have had a few radio versions.
Thanks!
I'm also interested in a fix. Toggling wifi off/on isn't the worst, but it gets old. Seems to happen after connected to the same wifi signal for 12+ hours. I'm on latest cm7, default kernel, wifi set to never sleep, etc.
Try WiFi fixer on the market.

Has anyone else been having issues with their wifi connectivity? When I go into a different room in my house, my phone fluctuates from 3 bars to 0 bars, and sometimes loses wifi connectivity. Anyone know of a way to fix this? Thanks.
I wanted to post an update on this. I have tried changing the channel on my router to reduce interference, and I increased its transmit power. Since my laptop gets a fine signal, I wonder if the WiFi on this phone is just wimpy.

I have a different issue on both my and my wife's phones. After sleeping the phone with wifi set to "never" sleep, when I wake it there is no connectivity. It still shows as connected but I have to disable/re-enable wifi to get connectivity back.
I have never had this happen with any other device.

There is an option under wifi settings to use Max Performance. Try that.
Go to your WiFi settings and hit the menu button and select advanced.
Ok ill try that out and see if that fixes it. Thanks.

Hey, I'm using an NS4G and I've noticed three times that my wifi turns on and starts scanning for networks without me ever explicitly telling it to. Any ideas?

Do you have it set to never sleep or the default android. Default sleep when screen is off.

Mine does this when im a bit too far away from the router.... weak wifi unfortunately
I'm using CM7 nightly 8 (Flashing to 12 right now) and my wifi sleep policy is set to never.
I noticed this problem happening while I was at my friend's high school graduation. I had the wifi off since I wasn't at home, and multiple times throughout the ceremony I saw it back on without me ever telling it to.
Has anybody had any luck with wireless network connection managers on the Charge? I used Green Power on the Fascinate, but it doesn't seem to work here. Even if I have 4G disabled, data will not turn on when the phone wakes up. Active data when the phone is sleeping is killing my battery.

Are you talking about wifi? If so then you can set it to turn off when the phone is asleep. Settings-wifi settings-advanced settings.
If you're talking about 3g/4G data then I guess you'd just toggle it on and off via the pull down switch?

I'm mostly talking about the 3G/4G data. I manually toggle wifi when I'm at home, and have it off when I'm out. Green Power did a good job managing the mobile data while the phone was sleeping, but it's not working well on the Charge. It will turn the data off after the screen turns off, but it won't turn back on when the phone is unlocked. I'm trying Juice Defender, bit so far, I'm not sure if it is working, since the free version doesn't have too many custom settings.
*update* JD isn't working for me. Mobile data was still on while the screen was off for at least 10 minutes. uninstalled. I'll keep trying. */update*
I have also noticed that this phone does not sleep when it's charging, it locks in at 100 MHz when the phone should be sleeping (never saw this on the Fascinate). I'm running PBJ_voodoo under stock rooted rom.

So it puts in like airplane mode when sleeping, Pretty slick.
I would still go into your wireless settings to have your wifi turn off when at sleep for when you're at home. It saved me a ton of battery at the house and that feature is not available for most phones.

Somewhat like airplane mode, except only for mobile data, voice signal stays active.

I can confirm that both Green power and JD do not work for data control...well JD does sorta...it will turn the 4G off and on but it will have issues turning it back on if it changed to 3g..there is a mode that you can highlight if it has troubles re engaging the data but it takes a few minutes and then it totally resets the connection including the phone service...at least thats what happened for me. Both control the wifi fine though. I have yet to find a service that can control the 4g consistently but I would like one
WTF?!? I live just outside of an LTE zone, so I have my network set to CDMA. I've gone all day with data turned off, and battery is still at 30% (16.5 hours since unplugged). I've switched the data on a couple times during the day, but only for short periods, which is what these apps are supposed to do. It just sucks that they don't work. Even on a good day with the fascinate, I never got close to this kind of battery. *sigh*

I just went back to the stock gingerbread rom for the G2x from using CM7 and the one feature I'm really missing is not having to have the wifi hotspot timeout. I use tasker to turn the hotspot on when I'm at work so that I can teather my tablet and then have it turn off when I leave but its annoying to have to turn it on several times throughout the day after having it time out. Does anyone have a way to keep it on?
Bump!
There has to be a way! Perhaps a terminal command?

i'm having weird issues with wifi on my infuse...
with all the other roms i've tried so far the wifi signal has stayed pretty solid, but with the compiled CM7 rom wifi stops working if the phone sits idle for any random amount of time. sometimes it works after the phone sits for 30 minutes +, sometimes it dies if i just lock and unlock the screen..
any tips? what information can i provide to help?
bumping up
having the same issues, anyone got some info?
Go to wireless settings, then wifi settings, hit menu, advanced, then change sleep policy to never. For some reason cm7 doesn't default to this. Should help

I tired the sleep policy set to never but it still drops off at random.. Anyone else know of another solution?

My problems are somewhat similar on the newest CM7. Mine is stuck on "obtaining IP address, then my WIFI says "disconnected" then it reconnects and still says "obtaining IP address". Please help anyone...!
Just to add too, I have reflashed the rom 2 times same problem each time.

This does seem to help a lot! Thanks!
I think others might be having a different issue.
For me, this fixes everything!
