I installed CM9 on my phone and it seems to be working fine, except few issues. One issue is that when I enable WiFi Hotspot, it fails to start.
When I go in settings, I can provide settings for WiFi Hotspot. After that, when I enable it, I see in notification area that wifi is being disabled, but after that hotspot option becomes enable again, wifi remains enabled and not hotspot is available for my computer to connect to.
I installed a teethering app from Play store and that works, but that creates an adhoc network only. I was able to use wifi teethering with HTC image, before installing CM9.
I have S-ON.
Does anyone else has seen this issue, especially with Cyanogenmod 9 Stable (cm-9.1.0-doubleshot.zip) on this phone
I've been using the CM9.1 + drain fix + USB fix ROM you'll see in the development section since November. I'm on r8, but they're up to r9b now. This is much better than the plain CM9.0 for our device as it fixed a couple of major issues like battery drain and slow USB transfer rates. I used WIFI hotspot and tethering for the first time last Thursday, and it worked first time no problem. No additional apps needed. Got my laptop hooked up to the internet and able to VPN into work network in a moving car (somebody else was driving honest!). Not sure if that helps answer your question directly, but it certainly works in CM9 series ROMs, and if you don't have 9.1 you should go get it1.

Thanks davidf9. I will try CM9.1.
From where I can get drain fix and USB fix?
Couple of other issues, I am seeing are: 1. no keyboard lights for caps lock or Alt buttons. 2. For some reason my barcode/QR reader/Google gogle apps are not able to lock on bar codes and when they snapshot they get scrambled image. Also, some other apps (like 3d compass) having distorted view from camera. Camera app itself working fine.
Have you see any of these issues with CM9.1?
The battery drain and USB drain fixes are built into the ROM by scverhagen, you don't need to separately apply them.
As to your other questions, the caps and alt LEDs don't work for me either I just hadn't noticed! I don't have any problem with my QR code scanner, but I don't use the other things you mention so can't comment.
I installed scverhagen's build cm-9-1-(3-0-53)-r9b.zip (MD5 1c16aafa8d0220d44b5b7ea22e7fb24c) from http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=32192055. I cleared Delvik cache, battery stats cache and cache partitions before installing it.
It fixed camera / QR Code Reader issue, but HotSpot issue is still there.
I did some more research and found some suggestions about "fixing permissions", turning wifi off and rebooting. I tried these and got Hotspot temporarily once, but on next try it failed.
I guess I need to collect logs and see what's going on. Thanks for your help.
You did a factory reset/wipe while in recovery as well didn't you? Several guides around here recommend doing the whole sequence several times over. Look for some of Strapped365's posts.
As I said, the hotspot worked for me first time, no problem. Just what was built into CM, no new apps. Must have been lucky. Sorry can't help further.
I didn't do a Factory Reset this time . I did that for when installing Cyanogenmod ROM, but I didn't had time to reinstall all apps and do all the settings again this time around. May be I will retry on weekend.
Thanks for the great help.
If S-On, you'll always have to fastboot flash boot boot.img thru ADB or your network never will work.
The PROPER way to wipe before a flash is as follows:
1. Wipe dalvik TWICE.
2. Under 'Mounts & Storage' format system.
3. THEN factory reset on the first CWM page.
These are the minimum requirements for a complete wipe.....
Thanks. I didn't do step 3 for this ROM installation. I am thinking of taking a Titanium Backup of all the apps, following your steps and then restoring apps after installation.
I am hoping this will save me from hassle of re-installing all the apps and configuring them.
That it will do. Just be aware that reinstalling them in a different ROM with their data sometimes causes an issue with an app. It will put them all back though....just not on your different pages that you may have them on.

Two days ago, my device suddenly could not connect to any wifi anywhere, encrypted or not, WEP nor WPA. This began to happen after I did a backup though CWM.
It sees networks but continuously runs through a scanning, connect, disconnect, scanning cycle. It tries to set the IP from the network, but then flashes unsuccessful and starts scanning again and repeats the process, and in the list of available networks, all available networks cycle between being not in range, remembered or disabled.
Sometimes wifi networks are greyed out, sometimes, not. Sometimes it cannot even find my router, even if I place the Tab on top of it. It connects once in a while, randomly, but only holds the connection for a few minutes.
I have other wifi tablets and all can connect to my wifi, nothing has changed with my wifi settings, router, etc. But to make sure, I did cycle the modem and router on and off and even reset the Airport Extreme that I use to factory settings. Modem is new and Airport Extreme is only a couple of months old.
My Tab is rooted and running stock HC. Never been dropped, great condition, never exposed to shocks, water, etc.
I have tried the following fixes:
Restored to factory settings, wipe data, etc. Nothing. I have tried this several times.
I have tried setting a static IP address. Nope.
ODINed it back to stock using P6210XARKL1_P6210UEKL1_HOME.tar.md5. It briefly connects to wifi long enough to apply the update and after that, it starts cycling scanning, connecting, disconnecting, etc. Tried this several times as well.
I even tried the update to the UK ICS for the P6210 and have the same problem. It sees wifi, but cannot connect, and on occasion it cannot see any wifi at all, even when I am 2 feet away from the router.
At this point I am convinced that it is a hardware issue (either that or it is pouting because there is a new Nexus 7 in the house)
Anyone have any other suggestions for a fix?
Update:
I did another hard reset from within Settings-->Storage--> Factory Data Reset, rather than through recovery (either stock recovery or CWM) as I had done before.
Now, wifi connects a little more consistently. Would resetting that way actually make a difference? Or is this just a random thing? Am I trying to see a logic where none exists?
How would a hard reset through the system settings be any different than one through recovery? Or, does each reset clear something else that got corrupted along the way?
My wifi still randomly cycles through scanning, connecting, disconnected, just as before. However, now the connection is actually made more quickly (under a minute when before it could take up to 15 minutes - or just never connect) and seems to remain connected for longer periods of time now.
Well, after searching and reading through 100s of similar issues one of the workarounds is to use a wifi widget or a WiFi Fixer App.
I am using a widget to control wifi and it along with any other random thing I might try can occasionally make my Tab connect to my Wifi network.

Persistence = Profit.
I think I have finally solved the broken wifi issue. Just to recap, the problem started after I did a backup with garyd9's CWM http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1379532.
And as a last ditch effort I even tried toggling the wifi on/off with a widget as was suggested from other sources (Google is your friend), in addition to factory restores, or restoring from a CWM backup, etc. And that was not a reliable solution after all.
These are the steps I took.
Through stock recovery, I wiped data and cache, and did a factory restore, twice.
I ODINed back to stock, again.
Wiped data and cache and did a factory restore.
Wifi was still sluggish to connect, but finally I was able to load the update.
Then I wiped data and cache and did a factory restore again.
It has been 24 hours and I still have a strong wifi connection. If I power my Tab off and wait an hour or two, then reboot it connects immediately to wifi. If I toggle wifi on/off it still makes an immediate connection. YAY!
So, it seems that something got corrupted during the initial CWM backup and then persisted through many wipes and reinstalls.
UPDATE:
Still have working wifi!
I'm having the same problem now. I'm using latest CM9.
I was using Google Chrome just fine when suddenly Wifi disconnected for no apparent reason and it's now showing the same symptoms you described in the first post. I have formatted cache and cleared dalvik cache and it didn't work. Wiped everything and it didn't work. Reflashed CM9 and tried two different Wifi fix flashable ZIPs but I still got the problem. I'm wiping everything and reflashing CM9 once again.
Is someone else experiencing this?
I'm afraid to data wipe in stock recovery due to the brick bug reported (my tab uses one of the defective chips).
How is your Wifi holding up, VitaZora?
I hope persistance pays off.

My Tab also has the defective chip, but I didn't know that until AFTER I went through all those wipes and reinstalls.
But I can report that all is well and wifi is still working like a charm.

Ohhh I see...
I did wipe in HC stock recovery several times, but not in ICS stock recovery.
Have you wiped in ICS stock recovery? By selecting "Factory default" option from config menu or by manually going to recovery and selecting data wipe? Or both? Hahaha
Thank you for the reply!

Honestly, I can't remember. I know I flashed ICS twice as well as the CM9 version for our Tab.
I think the order for flashing from rooted HC was the following:
ICS, CM9, HC, HC, HC, ICS, HC.
In between each was either factory restore from the config menu or through recovery. Occasionally after flashing my device back to stock, it would go into a reboot loop and the only way to fix that was to enter recovery and wipe everything. But I reflashed so many times and tried wiping and factory restores multiple times as well, that I may have wiped ICS through recovery - in fact I am sure I did at least once.
Oh well, I guess I live dangerously.

Carefull! ICS stock recovery may brick you're tab. See this thread
Basically this is a WiFi issue with all CM10/AOKP fresh installed after Sep the 11th.
I said Sep the 11th because that is the best refference I can find.
If I flash any CM10?AOKP based ROM released after that date I lose wifi on 1st reboot after initial setup. To get the wifi working I have to toggle on the wifi manually, or toggle off and then on or reboot. I could not find a pattern. At the end the problem is that the wifi does not start on boot by itself. Let me be very clear here. Fresh flash.
Now here is the strange thing. I have several nands for Paranoid, CM10, SlimBean (unfortunately none for AOKP), taken pervious to that date and if I dirty flash to the last release everything works fine. No problems with the wifi.
The stock ROMs all of them work fine, fresh or dirty flashed.
I googled the internet and checked xda and other forums. I found just couple of similar situations but with no working solution .
One of them says that you have to odin back to stock, connect to wifi and then flash CM10. I did that and no go.
I tried different routers in different wireless configurations, same problem. Static ip and stuff.
Sometimes I get the wifi network "not in range" or the toggle for wifi in setting semi off or on.
If this is a wifi driver problem then:
1. can I get an old CM10/AOKP driver injected to the new releases?
2. why when I dirty flash the old driver (present in nand) does not get overwritten?
3. did you see anywhere a similar problem or it's only me.
Thanks in advance for your help.
same issues here on any build of aokp. wifi works until after a restart. i get the out of range error or wps failed. i have to shut off wifi and turn it on to connect. really annoying. funny thing is on ics i have no issues with wifi auto connecting.
ideas? Kinda weird only a small handful of people have this going on.
I've noticed WiFi issues also while on cm10. Lately I've noticed WiFi becoming better in more recent nightlies. However I've been doing clean flashes, and not restoring any system settings from backups. Even unclicking the boxes from the initial startup that allows Google to backup and restore settings on the phone. I'm assuming that possibly some setting/config is being restored causing the issue... just a thought

Nope i dont restore anything and always do a fresh clean install. If i had to guess its a buggy wifi driver that causes issues with certain routers. That would explain why very few have our issues. I guess for now ill stick to beans rom and wait for the jb ota.
Its worse than i thought as i have this issue on all the aosp varients. I just tried cm10, all aokp, liquid and slimbean. Same wifi error. I nandroid back to beans ics rom and everything is fine. Its got to be a wifi driver issue. There has to be more than myself and the op having this issue.
EDIT BELOW:
Hey y'all, I recently got a Nexus 5 and I've been having issues with WiFi reception. I've read the other threads concerning the inability to connect, but I can easily connect to a wireless router the first time.
It's when I disconnect from one specific router and try to access another one that I run into issues. It simply hangs in Connecting, and then just reverts to Saved. The only way for the phone to connect to a router is for me to reboot it, in which case it does so quickly.
I was wondering if anyone had any insight into tackling this problem, or if it's an inherent software issue. This occurs both at home and at school, where I move from building to building (switch routers), but the login credentials are the same.
Thanks!
EDIT #2: I spoke to a Google rep a second time and they decided that since my factory reset did not fix the issue, they were sending me a replacement unit. I'll update this when I get the new unit and see if it still has the WiFi issue or not.
EDIT:So this issue seems to have garnered some attention in the 4.3 release of Android, and a handful of Nexus 5 owners have already reported the same issue (myself included)
https://code.google.com/p/android/issues/detail?id=58230
(Sorry, I can't post outside links because I'm a new user)
So if you have a similar problem, feel free to star and add your own comments.
I happened to have the same problem......not sure if this is a hardware problem or not.
Sent from my Nexus 7 using XDA Premium 4 mobile app
Ah, I see. Well, I've narrowed the process to simply toggling the WiFi on and off, rather than having to reboot the phone. It's still occurring though.
If I manually disconnect and then reconnect to a router however, this problem doesn't seem to happen. It's only when I exit a router's range that I have to do a WiFi on and off cycle.
Sent from my Nexus 5 using xda app-developers app
Oh, and I notice that the perceived signal strength drops when I try to reconnect to my router. Again, toggling the WiFi on and off allows the Nexus 5 to immediately connect to the router.
I hope this is a software issue.
Sent from my Nexus 5 using xda app-developers app
Hm..Toggling wifi on and off doesn't seem to work for me...It hangs in connecting for a few seconds and then goes back to saved... I still have to turn off/on the phone before it can connect to a different wifi hotspot..
I've got the same problem: switching wifi networks, from home to work and viceversa, my N5 doesn't connect. It needs a reboot.
Ciao.
I edited my original post with a link to the AOSP issue tracker concerning this problem. I also contacted Google concerning this and they just said to do a factory reset... To no avail.
Sent from my Nexus 5 using xda app-developers app
This evening, before entering home, I switch off WiFi, then I toogled airplane mode, I toogled WiFi on, and I got connection perfectly working.
Sent from my Nexus 5 using xda app-developers app
Interestingly, when first resetting the phone, I had to toggle Airplane mode in order to reconnect. However, eventually I can just toggle WiFi and it works fine. I'm not sure where the change occurred, unfortunately.
Hopefully my replacement phone doesn't exhibit this issue. Will update this, as mentioned in the initial post, when I get it. I still think it's a software problem, however, since folks that had 4.2 and updated to 4.3 suddenly experienced this issue.
So I'm starting to have this EXACT problem myself. I have a very strong signal for my home wifi and it's basically dropping to poor when I try to connect. After displaying Connecting/Saved several times, it still fails to work. I have tried rebooting it several times, toggling wifi and airplane mode, to no avail. Funny thing is, my work and home wifi have been working perfectly prior to this.
It wasn't until tonight that I started to have any problems. I moved some files through USB, just some stuff from my nexus 4, rebooted about 15 minutes later, and I couldn't get wifi after the reboot. Weird.
EDIT: I've tried a plain factory reset, didn't work. I ended up flashing the factory image, still didn't work. I'm not sure how WiFi just STOPPED working for me. Contemplating an RMA... I really hope someone comes up with something, seeing as I have a perfect screen and none of the other defects listed before.
This may be a fix!
Hey guys, so I've been keeping up with two AOSP issue trackers
https://code.google.com/p/android/issues/detail?id=58230
https://code.google.com/p/android/issues/detail?id=61945
And in the second link (Issue #61945), scroll down to post #9 Ryan, and he details what he's tried in terms of doing a factory reset WITHOUT having Google automatically restore data and settings. I've documented my results trying this, and it seems (at this early stage of my testing) rather promising.
Like Ryan said, it seems like it's restoring some WiFi settings that may not play well with 4.4 (and maybe even 4.3 for those exhibiting this issue as detailed in the first link (issue #58230))
So here's what I did so that Google would not restore the WiFi settings. Unfortunately, this does mean you may have to manually reinstall your apps and re-input your data by hand.
What I did:
1. Go to Backup & reset
2. UNCHECK "Back up my data" and "Automatic restore"
3. Perform Factory reset
4. After resetting and prompted to do so, input WiFi router credentials to connect to WiFi
5. Skipped logging into existing Google account
6. Skipped making a new Google account
7. After reaching Android homescreen, I manually added my existing Google account
I have a feeling that steps 5-7 are unnecessary, but I did that just to make sure it wouldn't try to restore any of the data.
It's been working so far, but I haven't been able to test it out much since I'm a school currently and it has blanket WiFi coverage (difficult to go out of range). However, I will add that the signal seems stronger than before, AND it's more difficult to lose WiFi signal now than before. Like, nearly impossible here.
Let me know how it goes for y'all. Hope this works.
Oh, and perhaps try
https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.brilliapps.wifiandmorefixer
before you do the factory reset. It may or may not work (one person said it did). I haven't tried it though, but if it works, it'll save you the trouble of having to do a factory reset.

I have also seen this on my device that I just received on the 15th. The wifi seems to drop out and re-connect after a while... But, my other, older android devices do not show this issue. After reviewing the previous post about NOT restoring from google.. and creating a fresh install.. I am beginning to suspect if that was the case. I was hoping that keeping it stock and not messing around with kernels and roms was one of the best features of a nexus device. I really hope google provides an update to fix this.
So just a quick update. I didn't restore from Google on my second device and the WiFi had been fine for close to a week now.

Recently I have been experiencing Wifi disconnects every 2-3 hours. I have tried Wifi settings by clicking on connect, tried choosing forget and resiging in and tried the app Wifi fix but all the app tells me is it is "completed" but it is not. The only way I can get it back is to reboot but then it only fixes it for a couple hours. I thought it might somehow be connected to the rom (CROMI-X 5.2.4) though it has never happened with any rom before. So, I reinstalled a older rom (CROMIX 4.7.0) which was always stable for me in the past but it started doing the samething.

Go into setting/wifi/advanced In there make sure you WiFi region is set to your area... Try unchecking some or all of the optimization for the wifi... See if that helps, let me know.. As always thx lj
The only thing I have checked in Advanced Wifi is Notifications Wifi on during sleep is set to never. As for right region I.m not sure what you mean, my mac and ip address' are correct.
Check your router as well. In my experience routers cause a lot more wifi problems than people realise.
It's worth rebooting them every now and then. Also download wifi analyzer and make sure you aren't on a channel with a lot of neighbours.
DIdn't you have a NetGear router? The latest firmware was known to cause issues. Did you downgrade it?
I rebooted my router and I moved to another channel, so now I will wait and see. What I do not understand is when I lose wifi on the Asus I will ask my wife to check the wifi connection on her tablet and hers is fine?
Well guys, I did everything you suggested and it is still doing it. I am now running 5.3a. Has anyone everheard of the wifi just suddely breaking on the Asus? The reason I ask is that even though I broke my Asus warranty I do have a square trade warranty.

When doing a clean install but I want to save whats on my internal card can I just move /sdcard to my pc before I do a full wipe or should I move other stuff also? What do you suggest?

If you just wipe from TWRP it only wipes you apps and data. You won't lose any media stuff so pictures, music, videos etc will stay. You should do a titanium back up if you want to restore apps and data.
If you choose format you will lose all so yes you would need to backup to either your PC or external SD. But you don't need to format to do a wipe.
Did a clean install and now wifi no longer stops.
I am having another problem, playstore apps updates or new apps do not seem to ever finish d/ling, the blue line just keeps running forever. I have tried stopping and restarting but that does not seem to do anything.
Should I post this as a new question?

Try clearing cache and data in the Playstore app in Settings > Apps
This is the first help post for anything tech-related that I've ever posted- I'm usually good enough with Google to fix my own problems, but this one has me flustered.
Until yesterday I was running DigitalHigh's GPE ROM but decided to give Cyanogenmod another try after some persistent lag issues. Everything went fine during the install until I noticed that I was stuck on 3G no matter what I did- airplane mode, reboot, clear the cache, try to update APN settings, etc., nothing helped. Additionally, while the phone will connect to my home wireless network, it has a ! next to the connection symbol despite my being able to use the network with my laptop. The funny thing is, this only happens with some networks. Neither my home network nor the network at work will give me internet access, but if I plug an ethernet cable into my laptop and create an access point that way, I'm fine.
Here's what I've tried so far after scouring these and other forums:
-Reverted back to the previous ROM
-Flashed new firmware
-Flashed two new kernels
-Tried every different APN setting I can think of
-Popped out my sim card, waited a bit, and popped it back in
-Rebooted countless times
-Cleared every cache I can think of
-updated TWRP
There's probably more that I can't think of off the top of my head as well. Does anybody have any idea what on earth has happened to my phone?
