Wifi adds and drops in repetitive loop - T-Mobile LG G2x

i am running AOSP EB v4.0.4 latest build. when i flashed v4 last month i started having this strange problem whenever i turn wifi on. the wifi appears to complete the connection then immediately drops it and retries the connection.
i thought it was the old baseband (since the installer offers support for both old and new BB's) so i upgraded to the march 2012 BB tonight and reflashed from scratch...same problem. i checked but there are no new software updates for my router so i'm ruling that out.
any ideas? considering my phone is literally empty of all files i cannot see what the difficulty may be.

I don't clearly understand what ur saying, does your connection only drop when u turn ur wifi on? Or does it randomlly disconnect sometimes and ur talking about ur data connection right not ur wifi connection?

when i turn on wifi, select my router and enter passcode it starts thisloop. i can see it go through all the init steps of establishing a connection. once it is done literally the next step is to start the whole process over again reconnecting from scratch to the router.

Ohh ok makes sense I had the same problem but I think it was when I was running open kang, and when I switched roms and was fixed. Kinda dumb suggestion but restart phone?

Have you tried a different router? I have a belkin and that thing is a pos, constantly giving me problems
Also, if your router doesn't have wpa (or some form of authentication) then enable it and try again. Sometimes that's helped me

yes i tried it at the local coffee shop...same problem. i am running wpa2/psk at home. this was never a problem until i loaded EB v4. i guess i will have to switch to different rom.

you dont have to clear everything twice only the once when u flash your rom, and then go straight to flashing gapps. that shouldnt affect the problem your having but try flashing another rom and then EB AOSP again and see if it works i know that EB doesnt have wifi problems cause i used it before.

Might be nothing more than a weak wifi signal or a confused router. Occasionally get this behavior on my stock g2x with all updates. Try logging on from a location closer to the router. Unplugging the router to let it reboot also sometimes solves the problem.

There's usually a button on your router you can press to connect things to it you should try that as well

[kernel][cm7]Wifi Test

This is a kernel I'm working on to improve on wifi. Specifically the Hidden SSID problem people are facing. If you guys could test it for me. Give me some feedback. I still have an aria, just not my primary phone.
Install via clockwork over an existing cyanogenmod 7 installation.
Also make sure to wipe cache / dalvik

I will try this at home tonight.
Thanks for doing this.
But I would really like WiFi to just find my network after being out of range. Right now I need to turn WiFi off and then on to reestablish the connection.

+1 this is the only issue I have too. Once you go to another location where there are known AP's it will not connect to them without toggling wifi on/off. Have you addressed this in this kernel at all?
Thanks

I had no wifi auto-connect after booting. I had to toggle wifi off/on twice to get it to connect. Same thing after another reboot. Gonna have to flash the original kernel it seems. Thanks for the continued interest in this device BTW.
Try wiping caches and dalvik

I had the same problem - wouldn't connect without a toggle off/on/off/on.
I'll try wiping the cache and dalvik, and try it again.
Edit: wiping caches and dalvik, then reflashing the new kernal resulted in an HTC White Screen.
Still waiting...(it's been something like 10 minutes).
good think I did a nandroid BU...

Ok 2 reboots later and it is now dexopting. Looks like clockwork does not wipe dalvik if it is on sd-ext. I had to do it manually from the shell.
I had to do 3 off/on cycles to get it to connect to my network. I am broadcasting the SSID and it is WPA2-personal AES. It would connect automatically after reboot before, but not connect to a different network automatically without toggling on/off.

I'm restoring my backup. It looks like this isn't working for non-hidden networks.
It's odd - this wasn't a problem with nightly 43, which I still maintain is the best nightly published. WiFi re-connected without any issues in that build. Hidden SSIDs were never working in any CM7. CM6 - no problems.
I'm hoping this is something that is unique to 2.3, and not the CM7 build itself.
build #21 isnt pickign up my USB connection :S?
Doesn't find any of my broadcasted WiFi networks.

CM7 - WiFi Issue

WiFi worked no problem on stock 2.3.3, when i bought the phone. as soon as i put on cm7, my wifi never works. I can go into settings and turn it on, but it never prompts me to select an available network, and then automatically shuts off after about 30 seconds or so. I have continually update to the latest nightly, and wiped cache, yet it still has not fixed itself. any help would be greatly appreciated.
I had the same issue.

Try the RC and see if u get it working
If not, backup, wipe data + cache and do a fresh install of the latest nightly and seevif it works then

[Q] cm9 and aokp issue

anyone having problems with thier data after flashing these 2 ics roms
Giving more detail other than anybody having data issues will get people to answer.
Explain what is happening or not happening.
im working on that right now
I had problems with this previously - data was working right after I flashed CM9, then it stopped. IMEI was fine, and the phone recognized Tmo as the provider - just no data.
Here's what I did to get data working again - go to Settings > Wireless & Networks > More > Mobile networks > Access point names. Hit the menu button and select Reset to default. See if that helps you out.
Guys there is an Q/A thread

one more thing do you have to boot into recover and mount data and efs after every reebot to get the data working and also does it take a sec for you to get a signal

You should not have to do that. Plus those are two different animals. Your service data is just internet. Data that you mount in recovery is all the stuff on your phone in a folder labeled data.
alright thanks again man i was freaking out so much because of this do you think they are gonna make fufture updates to fix this?

Heres the deal, if this is a issue head over to github and report the issues. Be detailed and provide logs, max, bhundven and others will see the report and address the report. This is the only real way to make sure issues are getting addressed.

That sounds like a problem with the wifi service you are using.
No I'm saying without the wifi being connected I can download stuff from the market and my data keeps going in and out

yeah, so check your wifi provider.
Also,
if you are having awkward issues, then wipe data.
When I started CM9 the first time, this is what I did. wipe, data, cache, system, boot from CWM, then flash CM9, then factory reset from TWRP.

[Q] How to fix? Wifi not turning on.

This problem first happened upon upgrading to the Revolver 4.2.0 build, but I've had issue with AOKP as well so I'm posting here instead of one of the rom specific threads.
The issue is that my wifi refuses to turn on. When I switch on the wifi toggle, the button greys out and it gets stuck on "Turning Wi-Fi on..."
I've tried via CWM to delete the Dalvik, Cache, Factory wipe, reinstall roms, but nothing worked.
In the advanced tab it also shows that the Mac Address and IP Address is unavailable.
Anyone know how to fix this? Thanks.

It looks like a WiFi driver issue, install a custom kernel n try as suggested in above comment..

Humm, might not be the (only) problem.
I've tried using 3 other different kernels and none worked to fix it. I've cleared both caches and even reinstalled the rom for the kernel installs.
Not sure, but my CWM also suffers from the loop issue, though haven't bothered fixing it since I wanted to fix this wifi issue first.

Try going back to stock(unrooting) by using easy flash... if WiFi works fine with stock ROM then its just a matter or installing again...

[Q] Phone is not connecting to wifi, what do i do ?

I'm using a nexus 5, running stock rom and Franco kernel. I've noticed that my phone just doesn't seem to find wifi networks. It automatically connects to few known networks, but when I try to connect to new networks, my phone refuses to find the network. I know the network is discoverable since my laptop and other devices connect to it. Is there anything I could do to prevent it from happening?? I tried wiping cache but nothing happened.

Try flashing the stock kernel (boot.img) in fastboot and see if it works then or reboot the modem/router first. If it does its probably a kernel issue. Have you looked in the Franco kernel thread if other users have the wifi issue too.
I tried using the stock kernel, the situation remained the same. Shall I re flash stock (factory reset) and try again??
