Has anyone else experienced this? The update downloaded and installed just fine. All apps seem to run fine, just cannot connect to my wifi network. In fact it doesn't seem to even see any networks.
I did not have my device activated for a Verizon Data Plan, and when I try and go through the "Activate Device" process that fails as well.
Thanks

Which update did you apply, was it an OTA update or one you found someplace else either on XDA or grabbed from the web?
As far as I know the only working update for a 3g Xoom is going out OTA to testers, and no one has grabbed a link for the zip install, so what did you install?

I installed the OTA using the trick to stop Google Framework Services and force the update check.
Before I have you go and do a whole bunch of crazy stuff, let me ask the simple question...have you rebooted your tablet and tried WiFi again?
Also, just so I understand the exact problem, is it that WiFi won't turn on, or is it that it does turn on but just doesn't find any WiFi networks?
Seems okay here. Unrooted and relocked and manually applied updates one by one.

It's that it doesn't find any networks.
EDIT: works now, for some reason after the update wifi was set to 5GHz only and couldn't find any networks. Setting it to Auto resolves the issue. Strangely also the Verizon 3g works now as well.
Thanks for the responses.
wifi not working after Jelly Bean update
My Xoom tablet (Wi-Fi only) just got an OTA update to Jelly Bean.
The Wi-Fi network has stopped working. The network is found and shows as "saved". If I tell the tablet to forget the connection, it will re-save it but it will not process the "connect" command. I am trying to connect to an open hotel network while on business travel. I was connected to this network during the upgrade but now I can't reconnect. I've rebooted and it doesn't do anything different.
Also, when the tablet boots, it still displays the ICS splash screens but after it boots, it has all the new Jelly Bean features.
I am currently unable to use the tablet at all for networking since it does not have any cellular capability.
What now????
=========
UPDATE: After sitting with Wi-Fi turned off and sleeping for about 20 minutes, the Wi-Fi now is working. I didn't touch anything. Previously, it wouldn't load the network and I rebooted it at least 4 times. Weird. but now it's working so I'm happy...
It was working fine yesterday, as I am on the no sympathy rom. Today, it is having problems. I downloaded several different tethering programs and none worked. Any suggestions?

Well there are several things you could try.
1. Make sure you have data coverage where you currently are (And that their isn't any temporary data outages/local network issues).
2. Try a simple reboot and if that doesn't work do a battery pull.
3. Clear any defaults and cache for any tethering apps you downloaded.
4. Make sure you havent accidentally changed any of your settings from when things where working for you

My tethering goes in and out as well. For no reason, no settings will change and then it just wont work. I haven't completely 100% trouble shot it, but so far it seems force closing the tethering app and then starting again will make it work. Then some days it just doesn't want to work for me.
I'm on Synergy(though it's done it on every rom and even when I had my Droid X it did it then) and my phone's data connection is fine - I can browse the internet fine with it but it just won't be recognized by my computer at times.(won't even see it in the list of avail connections)

I am having this same issue and im on stock. Have cleared everything, even wiped all data with Tibu and uninstalled/reinstalled. I will get a split second of internet and then nothing. All the while i can browse just fine on my phone so i know its data is working.
How is all your devices when it's hooked up to WiFi? Hold a steady connection or does it drop it as well?

I can work on wifi just fine on my phone. It looked as if i wasn't getting a default gateway from the connection when looking at the connection on my PC.
I could not get any FoxFi to work on my S3 (still not rooted) at all. WiFi would come up, and I could connect, but could not get any internet connectivity at all. Using a toggle widget method to enable the stock WiFi hotspot (and bypass the VZW service check) works perfectly fine for me, however. Sorry, can't speak for any other root required tether apps.
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.

Yes. Show password. Then put that in my wife's iPhone and presto data connected.

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.

Has anyone else had issues with tethering? I tried Foxfi (with add-on) and Elixir2 without rooting, and they both only work some of the time. Most the time the computer can connect, but there is no data exchange.
After rooting, I've tried Wifi Tether (in the Google Play store, v3.2_beta2) and good ol' trusty Wireless Tether from the Thunderbolt days, but those don't even show up as wifi networks my computer can see. Anybody run into these problems/solve them successfully?

Can use wifi Tether toggle to access stock tether app. I use Toggle Panel in Market on all builds that don't have toggle in dropdown. Works on all carriers. Worked on Sprint Note 2 this morning also. One thing I found while on tether if lockscreen locks it will slow way down. Mine drops from 600KB/s to 10 kb/s. Any rom with 15 toggle mod has toggle to lock lockscreen open and will maintain speed. Also wireless tether 3.2 beta 1 works on Synergy for me set to Galaxy Nexus (CDMA/LTE) with routing fix enabled.
Yea man I noticed the same thing, Fox fi would only work if I hadn't used it and if I did all I had to do was reset.
As far as everything else I don't know why they haven't been working maybe an update is in the works for those

Good day everyone,
I looked through the internet and couldn't find any relevant post that would be remotely close to my issue, hence creating this thread now. I do apologize if I missed something.
Per section, I have Nexus 5 16GB White model. I recently used google factory images to completely wipe my device and upgrade to the new Android 5.1. I had no errors and everything went smoothly and my Nexus 5 now runs stock Android 5.1 with Franco Kernel. Yesterday I was able to use my phone as Wifi Hotspot but as of today it suddenly stopped working. When I press a quick toggle for Hotspot, I can see the icon activated and the icon in the status bar but there is no Notification saying that the Hotspot is activated, and none of my devices (Laptop and Nexus 9) can see the hotspot.
What I tried:
Obvious, rebooting the device
Removing and putting back in Sim Card
Flashing stock kernel
I do not use any mods whatsoever except the aforementioned kernel which prior to Android 5.1 clean flash has never affected wifi Tethering.
I live in Finland currently and there is no carrier restrictions on tethering.
I would try flashing stock image once again but would like to avoid unless it's a last resort.
Thank you for your time.
Mine works OK. Use it instead of wifi as I've unlimited 4g data and single. I depend on the hotspot working.
