[Q] Emancipation WiFi issues?

Has anyone else tried connecting to an invisible wifi network with Emancipation? I had been having wifi issues with Revelation constantly dropping and reconnecting to wifi so I made the switch to emancipation and it won't connect to the network at all. If I make the network visible it connects.
Before flashing I used Heimdall One-click Back-To-Stock UCLB3.

The school where I teach has an invisible access point and I have no issues connecting. What type of router are you using?

DLink DGL-4500

I sometimes have to toggle wifi off and on again. it shows connected, but there is no data getting through.

I have found just turning the power off then back on for both my modem and wireless router...resets all...with two PC and 5 phones...that helps me.

I'll give that a try, we've had some pretty wicked weather lately.

I finally got it to connect. However, it's started doing the same thing again dropping and reconnecting until it eventually just shows the wifi signal but doesn't appear to be connected or transferring data through it.

If you guys are having trouble connecting on to an invisible network,
Zen has noted that the keyboard, after a few flash, can insert additional characters. I noted these odd behaviors when using swype.
It is not as prevalent on android or stock samsung kb.
If you are try to connect, change the kb to sammy's or android.
If you have connected and dropping or can't connect, I would recommend trying my wifi-fix script in cwm. I'm curious to see if it works.
Power the router off and on is also a good idea. some routers are buggy or just need a power on/off.

Mine finally worked after toggling bluetooth, gps and airplane mode on and off.
I did notice the keyboard leaving extra spaces but as I caught it don't suspect that was the issue.
I've been using this router set up as is for years and have only recently started having the connectivity problems with phones I've put recent releases of revelation, emancipation or Zeus on. For some reason lately my cell signal at my apt has dropped drastically (majority of the time barely 1 bar; would get 3-4 bars when I moved in December) so not having wifi makes everything a real pain. I almost think att has black listed my account or something. I've tried multiple modems but problems present with each one.
I would gladly try your script do you have a link?

The script only semi fixed my wifi issues... still constantly reconnects but always successfully reconnects.
On an unrelated note how does one edit the APN in emancipation?

Wifi turns off when signal is weak (1.85)

While using the phone in a spot with poor wifi reception, I've noticed the wifi icon completely goes away sometimes. It will then pop back on shortly thereafter. Is this normal behavior when it thinks the wifi signal is completely gone?

I just picked one up yesterday and have been having issues. In my bedroom it will read 2 bars, drop to one, then shut off. Comes back on within seconds. This phone seems to have WiFi issues for a lot of users.

In the same room as my gateway full signal it stays connected no issues.

Same problem here, but it also happens when it says i have full bars. I need to enable best wifi performance to fix it. My gsii never had this problem...

This is exactly how mine behaves too. I'm in the room with my router so I normally have full bars (and should) but every once in a while the signal goes away and comes right back 2 seconds later. I've tested it with 2 routers, a linksys running dd-wrt and a d-link one, both have the same results.

International One X has issues too. The newest update 1.85 was supposed to fix some WiFi issues along with other bug fixes, and it doesn't seem to have helped us. Let's not assume they even know what the problem is at this point.

I don't think what I am experiencing is a hardware issue at all. Im not even moving the phone when this happens, and my phone passes the squeeze test. I'm confident this means it has to be software related.
Sent from my HTC One X using xda premium

This is kind of an old/dead thread by now, but I just wanted to share my experience with wifi on the One X.
I'm also having problems, but I'm currently running a nightly (though very stable) build of CM10 on my One X and still have wifi issues. This COULD be hardware related, in that it's just crappy hardware (though it could also be software related if CM10 is built using wifi "code" (not really sure what the correct term for the wifi stuff in the software is ) from the stock software)
I'm sitting at work right now, for example, and every once in a while the wifi will disconnect. When connected it shows 2-3 wifi bars, when it's NOT connected, my wifi network shows up as "not in range" .
same type of thing has happened at my house. I thought my phone was defective so I traded it in for a replacement at best buy. Same issue. Such a shame becuase I really like everything else about this phone and wifi was never an issue on my last HTC device.

kernel changes affect wifi. some of the cm10 builds have known wifi issues.
i would never think of returning a phone because of an experience with a custom rom, since the phone wasn't built to run that rom.
always revert to full stock and see if you still have the issue. also updated ota/ruu are made to fix issues also. at&t rom doesn't have many stock wifi issues, but you can always run into issues with wifi access point incompatibilities.

Wifi issues with all ICS based roms.

I have tried lots of ICS roms till now and with every rom Iam seeing same wifi issues.
Wifi keeps disconnecting every 15 20 mins.
Today I installed official ICS using ODIN and still same issue. I was thinking this wouldn't be present in final release.
Everything works perfect on GB. Very excited about ICS but can't use my phone with wifi issues
Did anyone notice this on their phone?

I haven't had this issue personally..
Have you tried more then one WIFI network? Just thinking maybe it's your access point/router that's having issues, try restarting it perhaps?
Edit: Could also try playing with the WIFI settings in the router, sometimes changing the channel works for especially angry devices.

Factory reset the router

As I said earlier, it has nothing to do with my Router as everything works perfectly if I am on GB. I have Kindle Fire(on CM9) and Galaxy Tab 2( CM9) also and no issues those devices.
I see the same issue at home as well as in office wifi.
As the wifi gets connected within seconds after getting disconnected so it doesn't effect Web browsing, but when playing online games it becomes a nightmare.

Problem

WiFi is not affected by radio ... you have another issue .

did some searching and i found a problem someone had that was similar with their S3. it could be a problem with the software in your phone or something. i would contact AT&T on the issue, you may need to send it in and get it fixed/get a replacement.

Hello everyone!
i have a Samsung Galaxy S2 LTE Rogers. Runing CM9.1. Using it at Claro in Ecuador. Everything runs smooth but the wifi, is not usable unless i stand nearby my router.. +10 meters away make the signal drop to one bar or disconnected. Even close to the router some times drop to 2 bars..
I tried:
Wifi Fix
FXR Wifi fix and rescue
Also install 6 different types of baseband:
Bell Note Base (celular signal stoped working)
ATT - UCLF5 Radio (came with UCLF5 leak)
ATT - UCLF6 Radio (From the Official ICS Release)
ICS RUXLF3
ROGERS - UXLF3 Radio (came with official Rogers ICS release)
ROGERS - UXKJ7 Radio (came with the official Rogers GB release)
Nothing seems to work, so I dont know what else to do, and is annoying because if i go to my room i cant get wifi or even when im at public places everyone else can get it but me.. If anyone can help me, ill really appreciate it.. Thanks in advanced..

go back to stock gb then follow the process for installing cm9 or cm10

Are you using it on 2.4Ghz band or 5? What channel? Also what kind of router? WiFi is controlled at the kernel level, your radio isn't a factor at all. Could be a hardware issue, but that doesn't seem likely. Try putting your phone outside of the router firewall through the DMZ setting. Could be a number of things. Also try downloading WiFi Analyzer from the market. It'll help in troubleshooting.

Pretty sure is using only 2.4Ghz because wifi analyzer didnt show any stars about it.. what channel, cant tell u cuz i dont know how to check it.. router is not the problem cuz is happens in all wifi connections.. can i try installing a custom kernel that boost the wifi or something like that?
when i use it really close (less than 1 meter away) to the router or in adhoc with my laptop, the up/down speed is totally fine, the problem is the wifi signal range is so weak at distance over 1 meter which then affects also up/down speed.. im desperate.. thanks for responding..

Have u checked for interference from other devices. I am haveing trouble with that. My apartment buildings router is in my hallway so anywhere near it cuts my own WiFi down. Try turning everything off except ur router especially if you have a cordless phone.

Have you tried flashing Instigator X's kernel with CM9? Sorry didn't see the part where you said it does it on public WiFi too. Flash X's kernel and if you still get bad signal, it might just be a hardware issue and it might require getting it sent in. If you're back on stock try flashing Mohan's Cymbaline kernel.

[Q] Wifi Problems

Hi,
Starting to lose my patience with this device now. Such as shame that this lovely piece of hardware is strangled by poor software. I've already put the device on ebay and withdrawn it because its so slinky and I really want the issue to be sorted. I have no option but to go with the ipad mini at this rate, it just works!
Using odin I've successfully upgraded to ICS with P6800DXLP8_P6800OLBLP7_P6800DXLP7_HOME.tar and XXLQ1_OXALQ1_ATO My wifi keeps dropping out, ive tried it on three different routers etc and still the same issue. Tried CM10 and that reboots on me. Ideally i want a stock rom that works without any niggles on my Euro p6800. Any ideas, i'm really trying to make Android work for me, ive searched the forums like a good boy but no real answers anywhere.
:cyclops:

I can't help but thinking... if you are fed up with the Sammy device, why not switch to something that is completely open, like the Nexus 7, instead of a closed ecosystem like Apple's? Seems like there are other (better) choices out there than the iPad mini.

I'm sorry you're having troubles. Please feel free to give me your tablet. I could always use two!
Barring that, here is what I would suggest that has worked for me:
I have always had "advanced WiFi lock" from the play store, and it appears to have improved WiFi performance even when I had ICS.
I had locerra's cyanogen 10 ROM for a spell and really liked it. I then did some research in the development section and found Daniel HK's Paranoid Android ROM v. 2.55 and have enjoyed it even more. WiFi performance has been consistent and stable on both custom. roms.
Do some research and have a go at it.
If not, i can give you my address as I am currently living in Mexico and you can ship it to me!

I didn't experience any wifi issues at all until today. I'm staying with a friend for the week in Canada, and wifi k3ps dropping out. It seems that only a restart will solve the issue, and the network then falls out of range(even though I'm next door to the router). I'll give the app mentioned a try.... But any other thoughts please let us know! I'm on the leaked ics rom from Open Austria, rooted.
Update: "Advanced wifi lock" app has solved the issue, thanks! But we shouldn't really need to download the app.. Any ideas of how to solve such issues natively?

Correction, sadly the app didn't solve the issue.... Still having intermittent wife but HTC is connected constantly.
Sent from my GT-P6800 using xda app-developers app

Ensure you don't have BOTH 2.4 GHz & 5 GHz enabled on your router at the same time.
Use one or the other.
After disabling 2.4 GHz band, and using 5 GHz only on my Billion router, my device (P6810) had no wifi drop-out issue. Same if I use only 2.4 Ghz band only.
Hope it helps.......
BTW, I would suggest LP8, such as my SkyHigh ROM, having "fixed" wifi issue for most........ But try the above first

Did you fix your issue in the end? I've tried changing settings on the Cisco Valet router to operate in just one wavelength but there is no such option... I guess it must be a old router. The wifi lock app didn't make much difference either unfortunately.

Backup your router settings to PC first though...

Thanks, The firmware on my mate's Cisco router was out of date, wifi connection much better but it still cuts out and appears to only reconnect if I restart. Even a "quick reboot" from within Rom Toolbox Pro doesn't reconnect. Annoying issue... It even cuts out midway through a skype call with my wife (but no issues on mates ipad or my htc) Also no issue with my wifi connection back in the uk. Very weird. Any further ideas appreciated!

Just wondering of the connection is secured? Does it cut out on open connection?
If secured, did you restore wifi settings with any particular app (ie. Titanium)? If so, you could try delete/forget wifi connection and manually enter the password instead
Or, delete/forget wifi connection in settings and restore with titanium backup. You usually have choice of "101" or "XML", try one then the other, reboot each time after restore.
Edit: if you have another device to set up a wifi hotspot, open and secured, and test?
Sent from my GT-P6810 using xda premium

It's a secure network, but i've tried forgetting the ssid and then reconnecting, but it makes no difference... Still patchy connection. I don't want to make the network open as it's my mate's network not mine.
I downloaded an app called "wifi manager" and it seems to be working 60% of the time, which is good enough for the moment. When I get back home to my own wifi network I expect no connection problems as it was working fine when I left last week probably the issues were due to my mates awful Cisco router and not the GTab!

I think it's the WiFi driver in the version of your ROM.
There is no reason you should be having to amend settings on a router because in most instances, you will not have access to a,ending the router.
I'm currently living in Mexico and I'm dependent on several WiFi access points around town and intermittent WiFi where I live. I can safely assume that the technology isn't the latest and greatest down here and I don't control any of those settings.
I am not experiencing the problems you are describing.

I think you're right, it is the wifi driver. I've just tried connecting to the open wifi network at Toronto airport, which connects fine on my htc, but i need to restart my GTab in order to connect to it. I'm running an official Samsung ics rom from the European carrier, Open Austria, (downloaded from samobile.com)... These issues only started when I left the UK and arrived in Canada. I'm wondering if the 3g roaming has some part to play in the error. Anyway.. I will try again when I get home, but anticipating issues.... How would I fix this? Do I have to reinstall the rom and all my apps?! (hope not, as I have this baby set up just perfect )

Ah, that says it all...
Check my comments about LP8 firmware mentioned in my first post here..... way down the bottom Was obviously missed. Posts after that, I assumed you had, since you didn't comment about it.
There is also a thread relating to the problem and the subsequentLP8 fix.
Either flash SkyHigh ROM (P6800 DXLP8) or official DXLP8.
Whether just flashing the kernel from DXLP8 firmware world do the trick, not sure, as I have a P6810. But as I said, flashing the firmware package helped most out with the "wifi bug"
Do you have root and custom recovery?

Possible solution to WIFI problems?
I have had major problems with WIFI in my 7.7. The Austrian ICS has dropped connections, went totally berserk in some locations and stopped working unless rebooted.
I have now diagnosed (I believe) that the reason is the use of channel 12 in any WIFI router. If the router does not use 12 there seems to be no problems. At home I can configure my router not to use 12 and after that I have had no problems. There seems to be some kind of conflict or the Tab is faulty in that sense.
I do not know if this can be generalized, but at least for me it worked.

Yes I had the same problem with band number.... My friend's router that my tablet had an intermittent connection with, was on band 11. As soon as I got back home to my router in the uk (which uses band 6) My wifi connection problems disappeared.
Sent from my GT-P6800 using xda app-developers app

Yes I Can say after doing alot of reading i realised its the chanel.
im using locked chanel 5 and seems much better..also wifi connection manager from play store.
still not the greatest and low signal even in same room to router but working i suppose.
Just funny how my S3 has a much stronger signal compared to the 6800 every wifi ive ever used.
Would be good if somehow the wifi drivers from S3 could be used somehow?
