HELP: wifi errors on all aosp roms?

ive been posting this bug ive found all over but no one seems to have any ideas on how to fix it as it doesn't appear to effect many users. the issue is on any aosp based rom: cm10, aokp, slimbean, liquid..etc i get wifi errors such as wps failed and my router is out of range. this happens until i toggle off wifi and turn it back on. i always do fresh, clean install with full wipes before i flash the rom & gapps. ive tried everything including all different kernels to no avail. i know my router is ok because once i go back to any ics rom or jellywiz the wifi works fine. to me this sounds like a aosp kernel or wifi driver issue. how can i get this reported or looked into? as of now i know this effects myself and one other user ive talked to and he is stumped as well. i have a netgear wireless g router in case anybody wondered, current firmware as well. the devs ive reported this too seem to be ignoring my posts.
i seriously want to use one of the aosp roms but i cannot right now and it's driving me mad. any help or insight would be greatly appreciated.

ill also add i tried changing to different security settings on my router to no avail.

What router does this other user use? The one you said has the same issues. Similar to yours?
I don't use my phone on wifi very often so I dunno, but if he has one similar to yours I would say there's a problem with that router liking AOSP ROMs.

Its a netgear wireless g. He said he has a wireless n. If its the router, why does every ics rom work? Never heard of a router disliking aosp lol. Im wondering if the problem is using the newest clockworkmod touch recovery? Im just trying to troubleshoot. Ive tried everything else tbh. Never had a phone puke when trying aosp and i mean any aosp rom.
Doesnt anyone else use netgear routers?

Someone fixed wifi with DNS server change. Don't know if it was same problem.

Speaking of dns i do use opendns on my pc. Just darn weird ics doesnt act up for me.

ICS has code made directly for our device/radios because that's what comes on our phones. Jelly bean, which all AOSP ROMs are based from, doesn't have any code made directly for ours. All the developers have ported it over to our devices and it will be imperfect until Verizon jelly bean comes out/gets leaked.

Yeah thats what i figured. Just sucks i cannot use aosp in the meantime. Shocked more people are not having the same issue.

Got rid of opendns on my router and still a no go. Any other ideas guys? I feel left out not being able to use aosp. Gonna suck if i have to wait until the jb ota comes.

found a fix for anyone having issues with the wifi saying out of range or wps failed. go into your router settings and change your ssid name and password, restart your router and connect on your phone. worked great for me. don't now why this would happen on aosp roms but im glad i got it solved.
this can be closed now.

Never had this problem.

The best thing you can do is keep this in mind and help the next guys that posts about WiFi issues like yours. That would be huge if you did that.

I've seen a lot of people say that simply rebooting their router fixed wifi issues on their phone. Are you sure the reboot alone wasnt responsible for fixing the issue?

well the issue is back with a vengeance, nothing seems to work for me now.

Same here

I've been a lurker for a while and created this account just to let you know I have the same issues but with a d2spr (sprint gs3). Only aosp roms and I've been through both slim bean and liquidsmooth rc9. It's definitely the phone, not the routers. With my phone, it only happens when I reboot for any reason. If I rebooted with wifi on, my toggles will still indicate that wifi is still on after the boot, but it will not receive any signal. Any networks that do show up in available networks state "out of range". Even if you were just connected to that network before the reboot and you are still in range it will state "out of range". Not until you toggle the wifi off, then back on, everything seems to correct itself until next boot. It has to be the wifi toggle in settings though and not the one on any widgets or any added to the notification tray. Weird. Any solutions on your end yet? Looks like it's been a few days without any updates.

I had this is issue and setting a static ip on my phone fixed it, it was a dhcp issue.

[Q] WiFi trouble with CM10?

I just purchased a used HTC One X from the Rogers network and unlocked it. Before rooting it, on the Sense rom WiFi was working great. Very strong signal and it never dropped. Upon flashing CM10, it's not picking up my home network (which I know is working because I'm typing on it right now and the device was connecting to it earlier).
I downloaded WiFi analyzer and it's jumping between networks, some networks pop up and then disappear and then new ones pop up. WiFi is just acting very strange. I did all the appropriate wipes before flashing.
I found a lot of WiFi issues surrounding the international One X but I don't think this is a defect since it was working fine with Sense.
Does anyone else have any experience with this?
Thanks!

Just flashed back to a Sense rom, and low and behold my WiFi is working properly again.

I've had the same experience with CM10 (different nightlies) and AOKP, WiFi is just not reliable. I can connect just fine and the signal strength is the same as with Sense (including CleanROM) but at random times transfer speeds will go down or just drop completely, usually turning WiFi off and on fixes it but it happens again within a couple of hours.
I've tried a couple of tips from those threads like turning off the 5GHhz radio on my router but that doesn't seem to help

I can't even detect my home network. There's a few of the neighbors networks that pop up on and off but it's not consistent.
I'm literally sitting on my workstation which is connected to my home network and I have full bars. On Sense, I also get full bars and WiFi works as expected.

I've had troubles as well with WIFI on my device running CM10. I've posted numerous time to the CM10 dev forum but nothing comes from it at all. I had very good wifi with the Oct nightlies but now my Wifi is chocked off and doesn't perform as expected. I've tried rebooting my modem, router, switch everything and still the same results. Is there anyway to bring some attention to this or figure out the problem?
Help others and myself figure this problem out, anyone?

Are you on the stock kernel for CM10? Try flashing another kernel. It could be a kernel issue that you're having. I had this problem When I flashed PACman, and all i did was just flash Rohan's Build 5 and now my WiFi is working just fine.

I'll download rohans kernel as I've been using the built-in Kernal with that comes with CM10.
**Edit: I've installed RoHan's kernel but still the results are the same. The wifi and network become grayed out from time to time and websites fail to load. I know my home connection isn't quite that fast but there is no reason that the connection all together would drop.

my wifi icon on cm10 just turns grey after a while and doesn't receive any data. So i have to toggle it off and then on again to get it to work again

The CM10 stable rom is out for the LTE One X. I'm going to give it a go and see if any thing changes.

Check your region code under Wifi -> Menu -> Advanced Settings -> Region Code
Make sure it's under US (or wherever you are), reboot and see if that helps.

I'm located in Canada, and I've tried setting it to US and Canada. No dice.
I tried the a different kernel, CM10 nightly, CM10 stable, AOKP, and none of them are working.

I'm having a similar problem. My wifi won't turn on for some reason. It's related to the phone hardware, not my network. And I'm only seeing this problem when flashing the most recent nightly of CM10.
I'm not sure what else to try. Any ideas?

I've tried rohan's kernel as well as setting the region for the WiFi adapter but eventually it happens again. It's not as bad as some of the other posts I've seen, but it does kill data through WiFi at some point and transfer speeds drop.

Is there anyway to get further data on this? I know that my phone doesn't have the hardware "bug" first reported with a few of the devices. Any logs or error reports we can try and gather?

I managed to connect to my home wifi which I was previously unable to connect to, I had to change my router's wireless signal channel from 13 to 1. I am able to hold a signal fine, however I know many of my neighbors networks are not showing up like they should. Similarly, I am also unable to pick up my university network at school.
As I've said, Wifi works fine on Sense.
Is there any way I can help with error reporting in any way? I don't mind donating a bit of money to the CM team and help them get some logs.
It's nice to know I'm not the only one affected.

I would have to say this is completely a Kernel problem. I am having a similar issue in cm10 on N7000. But it's only happens to the some of the routers.
My house's router is a d-link product. And when you are connected you will having no issue, but once you restarted your phone you are getting trouble to reboot the router once to get your self connected again, in the phone, the wifi will stating "Connecting" like forever.
But I am not getting the same trouble when I am with my company's wifi and the Wifi of my friends lynsys. So its hard to tell the developer about this issue because it's not happens to all people. I hopes this info helps. Reboot the router usually works for me.

Unfortunately it's not always possible to reboot the router.
Like I said, I can confirm this issue and anything I can do to help I will try to provide.

These issues with CM10 and the new AOSP will almost make me *shutter's to think this thought* move back to sense.....I'm just not sure what to do. Should we link this to the dev thread?
Edit: I've captured a logcat from me turning on wifi, connecting to a website, and loading a second website to see the behavior. PM me if this would be of use.

This is the only reason I'm using a Sense-based ROM (CleanROM), nightly builds for CM10 run great and I have no other issues, but this one is kind of a deal-breaker for me.

Would it be possible for us to get in contact with a developer?
How would I go about getting a logcat of my own?

I feel you man. I'm sticking with AOSP because I managed to at least get my home network working but it's definitely annoying not being able to get onto my university network.

Anyone else having this WiFi break issue.?

Any aokp or aosp Rom I flash it breaks my WiFi. Flash or restoring to a sense based WiFi is fine. This is what I notice, on an aokp or aosp Rom when I hit connect on my WiFi, the WiFi signal instantly drops to poor with no signal from excellent, once it isn't trying to connect any longer the WiFi signal bumps right back to excellent. I don't get it. I've spent the last evening flashing every non sense based Rom I could to confirm this and it happens on every non based sense.. I didn't try miui cause I don't like miui.. device info.
One x, 1.85, rooted, loader unlocked via HTC dev, unlocked blahblahblah..
Tia..
Yes, everything wiped and cleaned between installs.. cache, dalvik, system and factory reset.. never dirty install.

I haven't had any wifi issues on AOKP. Did you factory reset going between Sense and AOSP? I'm not positive but I think that is needed. I'm on the Nov. 10th nightly. Hope that helps a little, don't forget to back everything up (nandroid) before wiping factory reset.

Thanks but this isn't the problem, I wish it was tho.. :*(

I couldn't tell you. I always have 1 bar unless I'm next to the router or downstairs in my living room.. and the connection cancels or drops.. oh the joys of a router without an external antenna..

I am having the same problem. I use the King Kang rom and sometimes i will have to press connect many times before my phone will connect to wifi. Sometimes it wont connect at all. In the wifi settings it usually says i have full bars, but when i connect it goes down to 1 or 2 most of the time. I am in the room with the router, so i know i should be getting full bars all of the time. It's really frustrating.

Yes there are a few more of us that are having this same issue. We have started a thread but it has been pushed back to page three of the forum. Please post here your issues and we can try to bring some light to this issue and get it worked out.
Here is the thread I have started. http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1989203&page=4 Also check the issue list for CM10 and star the issue about wifi towards the bottom. I am user: backslashcs on google and I have posted a comment on the issue there as well.

Q: wifi issues

Every time I pick my phone up the WiFi connection is dead.. It has two three bars but it doesn't work. I have to turn off WiFi and restart it. Then it works
This also occasionally happens when I'm using the WiFi too. It just stops working and requires WiFi toggle on and off
This happens both on sense ROMs (viperxl) and cm10.1
The WiFi is also murdering the battery

s-off if your not already. then boot to fastboot and RUU. If its still happening it's a hardware issue. If not, software issue In which case you can flash back your rom and test different radios.

Have long since ruu'd to 3.18 then installed cm10.1 with 3.4 kernel.
Wifi is still terrible guess I might open it up and try one of those antenna fixes

Nono the point is to stay stock to see of it happens when not on cm. Not to get a fresh start.

Fair enough might go down that road later. Just not a fan of sense

Try turning off Wifi power saving. That's helped me in the past when the router hates you for whatever reason.

Data stall after wifi disconnect

I have a VZW M8 and it seems that after I leave Wi-Fi coverage, my mobile data will stall. I believe it is Wi-Fi disconnect causing the issue because if I leave Wi-Fi off, I haven't noticed the stall.
The only way to regain mobile data is to either restart which works every time, or if I go to mobile data settings and change from LTE to GSM, which works most of the time. Toggling data does not work.
I apologize if this has been discussed before, I searched and found nothing. I am s-off, rooted and running nV Rom. I asked in that forum but got no response. I also ran the GPE rom and had the same issue.
I don't remember this issue when I was stock, but that was such a short time, so I can't be sure.
Just wondering if anyone else has had this issue and if they were able to remedy it somehow.

I've had this issue on previous devices and it was usually caused by a specific rom, but many times it had to do with the baseband or even kernel. I know that the GPE roms for the VZW M8 were ports from the unlocked variants so that may have modified something like the baseband. If it's a consistent thing throughout several roms, I would literally go back and flash stock firmware and then reroot to see if that fixed it. That used to do the trick for me.

Worth trying, I'll let you know what I come up with. Thanks

Well, I restored my stock nandroid, but I'm still having the issue. Maybe I will RUU to stock and see what that does for me.
On a side note, could it be one access point causing the issue? I don't remember it happening off of my router at home, but 75% of the time it happens all the time at work.

Actually, try forgetting the access point and then re-add.
I ended up not using Wi-Fi at work for a short time, and then re tried and it worked. Nothing changed, other than I forgot and re-added the network. Worth a try.
