[Q] Wi-Fi On and Off

Don't matter what rom I'm running and what kernel I am using the wifi connection suddenly turns off and then on automatically. I've checked the inactivity politician to never, and that's not the problem.
Does someone have the same problem?

Nope. My WiFi works great. I have the sleep policy set to screen off, turns back on immediately when I wake it up and I never drop it. The only odd thing I have is that sometimes while on WiFi it will pick up a mobile data connection as well. Doesn't interrupt anything its just weird.

Yes, I am. And I think quite a lot of users as well.
The wifi hardware in this Nexus S is ****.
Believe me, try to live with it, it is a hardware issue. Use 3G or invest better / more wifi access point.

I have tried a lot of things but im still with this boring thing .... Any solution???

Wifi connectivity issues

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.

[Q] Wi-Fi disconnect while phone sleeps on Bionix build #4?

Just wondering if anyone else is experiencing the wifi not staying connected while within a wifi network anytime the phone goes to sleep, or shows both wifi & data connection active at the same time? It seems to disconnect the wifi when phone goes to sleep and when I wake the phone, it goes through the connection process and stays at obtaining the IP address for +/-15mins. Is this an isolated issue or is it a common thing with all non official GB custom ROM 's? Just to note, I changed the wifi scan interval from 15 sec - 120 sec after I flashed the ROM. Been on the ROM now for about a week and a half and so far this is the only thing I noticed as strange. Overall this ROM rawks!!!

Not sure about your specific rom.. But Juice defender will allow you to set wifi persistent, etc..
*Kingpin... get it?*

So when set to persistent, how much battery will it be consuming with that setting?

Not sure specifically.. But you can set it by location.. Like, if your on your home network, or at the office. I usually don't pay attention to the power it uses because I use the setting for home and im always by a charger..

Wifi problems can't figure it out ideas would be much appreciated

I'm on the skyrocket and I have ran just about every ROM on here at some point and a while back my wifi started acting up randomly. By acting up I mean it would shut off and either attempt to turn on and end up in error or it would turn on after much longer than normal and start scanning but never finding any network then turning wifi back off. I tried all the usual methods of fixing things wipe cache and dalvik reboot, some times would work. Reinstall ROM, kernal, modem...works every time...for a while. Now on ics thought everything was ok then it happened out of no where like always... No wifi. Upgraded to mhx superlite 4.0 and hoping for the best. Thanks in advance

Do you have logging enabled on your router? Seeing any logs that are happening while the router is on/the phone isn't connecting could be useful

I do not but I'll have it ready for next time my wifi stops again could be today could be a week it's very random

Actually three only logs I could find on my router were "event logs" and nothing showed up from my phone when it was last having wifi problems

darkside x 2 > odin stock > odin cwm > darkside > favourite rom + kernel. If that doesn't fix it u have a hardware problem

I've been trying to avoid Odin a I'm not very familiar with it I've only used it once or twice but never in my skyrocket but if this problem doesn't stopthat's my last option I believe... I've been hoping it's not hardware but we will see

Odin CWM?
Hi, I'm facing wifi issues as well. I'm a very new android user. I'm running SKY ICS and it was running great until this morning. I have lost wifi. Nothing has changed with my phone to explain this change in behavior.
Behavior:
Wifi is turned off.
I go in to turn it on, it will show the "turning on..." message in settings and will then show checked. Wi-Fi networks will then show "Scanning" and then wi-fi shuts off.
I had Wefi Pro installed and uninstalled it thinking that app may have caused a problem, but the behavior persists.
I have found Darkside and Odin via search, but can't find Odin CWM. Can someone provide a link? Thanks!

I've noticed that my wifi issues are associated with Juice Defender. It works good for a while then starts acting up. I tweek it. It runs better then acts up. Then I reflash and start over. Need something other than Juice Defender. I suppose I could probably do the same power saving actions with Tasker... but it's more work than I feel like doing.

I use juice defender and never had a problem. Check the wifi settig inside the juice defender profile that's responsible for re trying wifi connection if it fails. That's probably what's set to a high number.
Also, for the OP... Do you have any other wifi devices on your network that behave this way? And do you use juice defender as well?

It was only my phone that acts up my fiancé's phone never has a problem neither do my lap tops but I had found that I could toggle my data, Bluetooth, and GPS on and off a few times and sometimes reboot and wifi would start working again but i'm on a brand new skyrocket now cause I kinda bricked my first one the other day...haven't had a problem with this one yet but I haven't even rooted it yet either so we will see how it goes later on

Have you tried a different access point? If it still has issues I'd take it back.

G2X Wifi problem.

Yesterday my wifi on one of my phones would not turn on. This happened no matter what rom or baseband it was on. Any suggestions?
Sent from my LG-P999 using xda premium

I also have a similar problem, I rooted my phone yesterday using "unlock root" and it successfully rooted but when I turn on my WiFi it would only work for about a minute. The WiFi indicator still suggests it's on and I can see the reception bars get lower and higher as I move further away from my router but any site or app I use will say I do not have an internet connection. Help would be appreciated, thanks.
