Simply saying "My Wi-Fi doesn't work." is very, very general. Be more specific. What's going on with it specifically?

Are you sure it isn't router related? Do you get an error message or failing to obtain ip address.
Sent from my Inspire 4G or Desire HD or whatever this thing is called via XDA app.

I rebooted and it worked. Running CM 7 nightly 8. Stock Kernel.

it just hangs at optaining ip address and doesnot move from there, also, i got fed up n went back to stock unrooted and it still doesnt work, but it was working before i started all this madness

Do other devices on your network have any trouble accessing the wireless router? What kind of router is it?

LeeDroid ROM and wi-fi issue

Hi there,
I followed the instructions from http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=842802 and managed to put the custom ROM.
However, I cannot use Wireless anymore. It get connected but simply doesn't load anything.
I cannot use Internet pass-through anymore as well.
Everything else seems fine.
About info:
Android version: 2.2
Baseband: 12.28b.60.140eU_26.03.02.26_;
Kernel: 2.6.32-LeeDroid...
Build number: 1.37.921.1 CL277230 release-keys
Software number: 1.37.921.1
Could anyone advise me how to proceed now?
UPDATE:
In the meantime I did the recovery, went back to the original settings. Wi-Fi and Internet pass-through worked perfrectly.
I started the process again.
This time I falshed the Radio before I flashed the ROM and now I'm on:
Baseband: 12.28b.60.140fU_26.04.02.17_M2;
Wi-fi and Internet-pass worked fine with old ROM and new Radio.
I did the Kernel flash, but the problem with wireless remained.
Any ideas, please?
I'm quite desperate now. I like the ROM (e.g. camera works perfectly) but not having Wi-Fi...
Thx a lot!!

im having the exact same problem :s did you by any chance find a fix for this ?

It's odd, I've followed the same procedure and haven't had any problems.
When you're connected can you try looking in Settings > Wireless & Networks > Wifi Settings -
Click on your router and you'll confirm if you're connected, chanel, strength, speed, etc. Useful stats.
Click on Menu > Advanced
Here you can see your IP address confirm it's received an address from your router, plus you can change wifi performance, increasing more power (just to test)
Sorry can't think of anything else to check. Like me I'm sure there are lots of users with this ROM who've flashed the same radio, ROM and kernal, and it's working fine. Did you check the 'checksums' of the files you flashed to double check they're correct?
Try posting on Lee's pages in the Development forum, perhaps he can give you better advice.
Good luck.

[Q] Samsung s3 hardlock after a day?

Hi
I am an unhappy user of a Samsung S3 since yesterday. I have received the phone, unpacked it , charged it. It powered up ,worked fine. This is not my first Android device so i decided to root it after half an hour of use +/-.
Win7(64bit)/ Odin 1.85/ CF Root SGS6 v6.3. Rooted fine. Time for a new ROM ? think so too CWM recovery/BACK-UP installed CriskeloROM SIII ICS v2. Works fine, can receive calls make them, text message , browse net through 3G.
But the problem starts with wifi - it connects to my router,obtains an IP adress but there is no internet. LAN is connected because i can see other users on the network and access a GoFlex drive which is shared on the home network.
I was stupid enough to root the device before checking if the wifi worked, so i have no clue if it worked before i rooted and installed the custom ROM.
Anyone have any thoughts, on things i could carry out in order to get the wifi working?
p.s from the router side of things everything looks fine.
Here is some info which is completely useless to me , but might be usefull to you.
BASEBAND
I9300BULF1
KERNEL
3.0.15-671647
BUILD #
IMM76FD.19300XXALF2
ROM
cRISKELLO SIII ICS V2
Thank you for any attempts to solve this problem

well, a few years ago was a problem to make wifi to work on linux machines
even now can be a problem to compile wifi drivers in android kernel usually it's done by compiling with different make string in a 2nd step
also this can be about hardware but you can not change it now
I suggest to flash a different stock/custom rom and use open/unsecured network as much as it's possible

Do you have any more information that can help us? For example, has this been an issue since you got the phone or a more recent one? Are you running stock firmware, custom rom, etc? It could be the radio on the phone itself, it could be a bad kernel, it could be a lot of stuff. If it's been an issue you've had continuously you may want to ask to see another one at your carrier's store, to see if it's the radio itself. You could also try custom roms/kernels to improve the radio but that's also fairly involved depending on the situation.

[Q] android 4.3 and 4.4.2 wifi issues

Hi,
Since I upgraded the ROM to 4.4.2, I'm unable to find my network/WIFI router.
I have currently KatKiss-4.4.2_022 installed. Before I used 4.3 and sometimes I lost connection, but since I installed 4.4.2 I'm not able to connect on 4.3 neither (saved backup), but if I roll back to the stock ROM, I have no issues at all. Also I have no issues to find and connect to the network with laptop or with my phone (GT-I9100 with CM 10.1.3-i9100).
I did try to reinstall the ROM, tried all the regulatory domains, but none of them works. I also made changes to the router settings (channels, etc.), but no success.
Does anybody else have seen this issue? Any help appreciated.
Thanks

See if your router has mac address filtering set, or if it has a button to allow discovering or such.
MAC address won't be the same between stock and 4.4, it was already the case on katkiss 4.3 though if it was katkiss that you were using as your 4.3 rom that was working before ?
Try also to reboot your router, I've seen a few with wifi that stopped working saying that rebooting their router fixed it.
Beside that I don't really see much else, just the usual, make sure you do a full wipe, format /system and cache before flashing 4.4
in case it's something left over from other systems.
Also make sure you don't restore settings or system apps from the previous rom.

I am also having issues with wifi, but in my case it is more the distance from the router.
in the bedroom, which is just 4 meters from the router (behind 1 wall) I used to get nearly full signal wifi, after updating to 4.4.2 i get no signal at all, to be able to use the tablet I have to be 1 meter from the router. I reverted back to stock ROM but it doesn't solve the issue !!
is it some kind of internal firmware corruption, or hardware issues?

Try switching WiFi optimization off.
Basically if you go to settings then wifi and the click on menu and select advanced, then you can switch wifi optimization on and off.
On most android devices like tf101 ot lenovo k900 it helps to get a good wifi connection.
