There is a wired problem on my nexus s after updated to 4.1.1 OTA(stock).
Wifi is working fine after boot, but after i turn it off for a long time, it just can't be turned on, stuck at Obtaining IP Address.
The encrypt mode of my router is WPA-PSK, DHCP on.
Normally I restart the system to fix it... now that I try to set wifi to static IP rather dhcp after the problem happens again, and it is connected right away. I couldn't figure it out why the dhcp is working after boot but failed after I shut the wifi down for a long time? and when I can't obtaining ip address, i go into the router and found that the router already give the phone a ip...
Is anyone else encountered the same problem? Is there a way to fix it permanently? I don't want to set the static ip every time when i get out and use other access point...
and the phone's wifi is always working fine on this router, same settings, so it shouldn't be the router's problem...
P.S this problem happens on legolas93's aosp version and previews SDK ported version(one with SP4), i thought i could be the bug of their rom but this even happened in the official rom..
I'm not sure why you're getting a WiFi problem. I'm running an official ROM and everything seems to be working perfectly. Did you wipe data/factory reset and format /system /cache /boot /sdcard? This completely cleans the phone out so when you install a new ROM, its like that's the only ROM that's that's ever been on the phone.

I'm sure i did the full wipe and flashed the official rom of 4.0.3, ota to 4.0.4, installed the official 114mb ota pack of 4.1.1.
The wifi problem only happens when it's turned off for a long time like more than an hour and on a WPA-PSK encrypted router.
I had this same problem when running stock GB that came with the phone. It seems to be a problem with Android in general, not just that ROM. I used an app called Wifi Fixer (play.google[DOT]com/store/apps/details?id=org.wahtod.wififixer&hl=en I'm new ) in the play store to work around it. It doesn't fix it but it detects any issues with a wifi connection and resolves it.
That whole issue is a pain in the rear. The only time I completely fixed it was when I switched to a new ROM.
Hello all I hope you can help me with this...
I'm having the strangest issue with my P6200L... Everything was working fine a couple of days ago... I was using latest CM9 by aorth here, browsing the web and everything when suddenly.... Wifi disconnected and never reconnected again...
The symptoms are:
- displays all available networks in range
- if I force to connect, all networks disappear and saved connections are "not in range"
- if I turn off/on again it displays all networks in range again, saved ones are "disabled", if I force connect it repeats the cycle.
I tried factory reset dozens of times. Didn't work.
I tried flashing CM9 again (with this and another patch I found on the thread (forgot where it is)) dozens of times. Didn't work.
I tried flashing official ICS (Open Austria) dozens of time. Didn't work.
Needless to say, I did data wipe/factory reset/format cache/clear dalvik twice between each flash.
And then I flashed stock Honeycomb. It worked. Wifi connected! All was fine!
Marvelous! Or so it seemed...
Now that I got it working again, I want to upgrade to ICS, so I flashed ICS Open Austria. Wifi stopped working.
"Ohh well", I thought, "let's try everything again"
Flashed stock Honeycomb again. Working.
Flashed CM9 + patch. Stopped working.
Flashed ICS Open Austria. Still not working.
Flashed stock Honeycomb yet again. Working.
Flashed ICS Open Austria. Not working.
Flashed stock Honeycomb. Working.
My conclusion: Wifi works only on stock 3.2.
Why? I have absolutely no idea whatsoever.
I've tried every possible combination of flashing and wiping data (except from stock ICS recovery, as I have one of those bad chips and I'm afraid of the brick bug)
Is there anything else left to try? Maybe copying some system files over from stock Honeycomb to an ICS firmware?
I'm really getting desperate here and I've run out of options. I'm hoping the community here on XDA helps me solve this mystery.
It is similiar to this bug here, but although the user there fixed it by several wipes/flashes, apparently I'm not having the same luck.

Really? On every ICS firmware? But why was it working the first time I flashed ICS, but not anymore?
Sorry for all these questions, it's just that I'm completely dazzled by this issue, hahaha :silly:
But thank you for your reply :highfive:
try wifi fixer, i solved my problem with wifi.

Hahahaha I'm 100% sure this is NOT the issue here
Wifi networks keep dissapearing when I try to connect. I have tried in 3 different routers with different encryption settings, so I'm sure this is not on my end.
Could be that you flash and incorrect firmware, maybe for the p6210 tab?
Sorry, I'm just guessing , I don't know what could be the problem.

No problem about that, we're all guessing
But no, I'm sure it's for the P6200 because it worked the first time I flashed. If it was for the P6210 my tab wouldn't even boot, partition layout is different...
I'm having this kind of issue aswell. Wifi is doin' fine with HC 'til flashed it to ICS. Damn, I really hope someone could help us regards with this issue. I also tried Wifi fixer, it helps but not that enough. 'Cause it connects me to my wifi but after a minute or two. It'll disconnect and reconnect. This is happening again and again. And it's kinda annoying when watching video on youtube or surfing the net. Well, just sharing my issue.
Yeah, I know how it's like... I reverted back to ICS while there isn't a fix... It's weird because it also happens on official ICS from Samsung, which it shouldn't
guys, I had the identical problem with wifi on ics. I returned to the hc and wifi worked. Then again the ics and did not work. Wipe cache, Dalvik, data, everything I tried several times and no results . Then I installed wifi fixer and it was a little better, over *# 94 349 # tablet began work with the occasional stop. a couple of times I rebooted it. and after one reboot started to work normally. I know that I m not helped, but it is my experience.

Are you talking about this app? I've tried that, but the only thing it did was to keep disabling/enabling the wifi... Several reboots later, same results... I'm glad it worked for you, but so far I'm not in luck

OK, I got some progress.... But it's still bad, keeps disconnecting... Here's what I've done...
I flashed CM9 with wifi patch and tried the app above. Restarted, no luck. Still didn't work.
I removed my SIM card, restarted in CM9, and Wifi worked! If I put it back in, wifi stops working.
I tried changing country codes with the app above, lost 3G SIM card connectivity. No wifi and no 3G, I though I f***ed up everything.
ODINed back to stock Honeycomb. Got a "no SIM card" error. But wifi worked.
Restarted several times, tried changing country codes several times, still got the "no SIM card" error.
After several attempts by removing/inserting the SIM card and restarting I got it working, finally.
Tried flashing ICS Open Austria. Both Wifi and 3G works!!! However wifi keeps disconnecting every 40 seconds or so.
Tried Wifi Fixer from Market, but all it does is monitor when wifi disconnects and then resets it. It connects again, but 40 seconds later it disconnects again, thus repeating the cycle.
It's still not usable, but it is some progress. I'm afraid to factory reset in official ICS because of brick bug, but I'm willing to do some more steps if anyone got some more ideas
THANK YOU very much for your response petrenj! We're getting somewhere here! :good:

Unfortunately I'm experiencing the same problem as yours. I have 3 tabs and all of them exhibits the problem in ICS. Wifi seems a lot more stable in honeycomb. I already tried xxlpl and xxlpn with/without wifi fix from aorths cm9. I'm also experiencing force reboots when I disable and enable wifi for sometime.

How odd... It's weird that some people have this issue while others don't... Also, I'm beggining to wonder if this is something that aorth or other dev can fix, seeing as it affects several different devices with ICS, and not only our tab. I don't think it's a hardware problem, because wifi works in Honeycomb...
So far, if we want to use wifi in our tabs we must remove the SIM card or just stick with Honeycomb... I've stopped using my tab for a while due to the constant data wipes/flashes and dedicated it to try to fix this issue... I really don't want to restore all my apps twice a day while switching between ICS and HC versions
Are there any P6210 users reading this? If yes, are you able to use wifi in your tab? As the P6210 doesn't have a slot for a SIM card, this shouldn't affect you, right?
Anyway, let's wait for aorth to be back from his trip and introduce this thread to him. He should be able to clarify something to us.
Affects P6210 as well

Every ROM I load on my N5 will not reconnect to data after have been on wifi. The only "ROM" that doesn't do this is when I am running Stock + Rooted + Xposed. Just seems really strange...even though I believe this is a known issue with 4.4.2 on many Nexus devices.
Happens to me to rarely on 4.4.2 stock. Don't worry, we've just gotta wait for that elusive secret update known as 4.4.3. Every time it happens I reboot into recovery just to take the opportunity and update kernels / clear caches and fix permissions.

I hope 4.4.3 fixes it. I am a total ROM whore and not being able to load new ROMs is killing me.

So I installed the 4.4.3 update to my N5 after setting back to stock and unrooted and locked and all that fun stuff. Ran stock for a few days then unlocked and rooted it. Installed Paranoid Android and lo and behold...I have a data connection when not connected to WiFi! I then installed the latest nightly for CyanogenMod and did not have a data connection when not on WiFi...that seems rather odd to me....
So I'm sure many of you are aware of this issue. I've encountered it twice on my Nexus 5 on both 4.4.2 and 4.4.3. Basically, if you enable/disable WiFi and WiFi Hotspot in a certain order, it breaks the tethering option and says error where it should say turning hotspot on after you click the box. Now, the only way I've been able to fix it is by doing a clean install of the factory images. Even writing the factory system, boot etc. does not fix it. Has anybody encountered this issue and found a way to fix it without wiping your phone?

I ran into this same exact problem on my N5 after I flashed the bootloader, radio, system and boot from the 4.4.3 factory image. It would say "error" under the WiFi Hotspot option when trying to activate it, even though it was working perfectly fine on 4.4.2. It was driving me crazy trying to figure out what it was happening. I'm not aware of any fixes. I ended up just backing up my stuff and flashing the whole factory image (including userdata.img). Then I edited the database file just like I did in 4.4.2, and now it works perfectly once again. It was all kind of a pain though.

Experianced exact the same thing. Love the new dailer so I don't want to rollback, but I really need my hotspot at work.
Someone any ideas?

Oh. My bad. It looks like I didn't explain as best I could. When I said "...flashing the whole factory image (including userdata.img)...," I meant I flashed the factory image for 4.4.3. Then, I edited the database file like I did back when I was on 4.4.2. So I actually am on 4.4.3, and the hotspot feature is working perfectly (like it was on 4.4.2).
I too had this. Switched to CM, as i was thinking of it and its gone. Have flashed a stock ro m and it was OK

I have been trying to upgrade to MOAR nougat and I cant get it to stick. I have odin flashed multiple stock versions, formatted data, repartitioned, let battery drained (solved my issue last time) but nothing is working. It will run fine until I activate service on it then it starts freezing and reboots. I'm stock now, QC5. Just using wifi and running smoothly. Lease is up in a month and I would like to keep running it but not sure how to get it running with mobile service.
Any ideas? Thanks!

Well...it ran smoothly for about a day. Freezing and reboting again on stock. Im beginning to think it might be a hardware issue.
