Hi all!
Problem: WiFi periodically stops working after tablet inactivity. Connection is there, but the icon is gray and not opening any pages even the local admin panel of the router. Sometimes the icon still blue, but there is no connection too.
Small addition: I installed Fing utility and try to ping the router or neighboring devices in the network in time of this problem. After a few seconds and lost pings internet connection appears to working again. I have a feeling that before the last update 10.6.1.14.10 internet worked better. I tried to install CleanROM 3.5 (10.4.4.25), but the problem persisted.
Is anybody could help me plz?
ROM now - last odexed CROMi 5.2.2

Try turning off WiFi optimization in the advanced settings of WiFi first.
A reboot of your router may also help.
In the same place sbdags had said to look make sure your wifi region is set to your area

Thanks. I try to turn off this option, but it doesn't help. I spent 2 days for test and now Im sure
Right now till i browse the Xda, my wifi freezes two times, until I switch off-on it.
Ofcourse, router rebooting is working, but it is just confirm, that problem physically in wifi connection. I don't now, may be in router settings, but other devices works perfectly.

Which kernel did you flash with your 5.2.2 installation and you did choose the WW version of the rom?
Did you do clean install or dirty flash CROMi over your stock rom and then CROMi-X on top of that?

In the advanced setting of your WiFi there is a region setting..Make sure its set to Europe as that is your region.....

Hello all
I'm having some internet issues right now. I can connect internet pretty well on wi-fi but when using network I cant open any web pages no matter what browser I'm using but I can use other internet related programs (Facebook, gmail , market etc.). This is the second time this problem occurs. First time I was using stock rom then I changed to virtuous unity and the problem was solved but now it started again. Anyone experienced this before? Or what can I do to solve this?
Could be kernel related

You should always try to provide as much information and details as possible, for example....
All of this can be got from Settings->About Phone-> software
What ROM?,
What RADIO (baseband)?
What Kernel?
Can be got by rebooting to recovery
what HBOOT?
Sorry for missing details.
Virtuous Unity v.1.31.0
20.28I.30.085AU_3805.06.02.03_M
Kernel unavailable
HBOOT: HBOOT 6.98.1002
Radio from bootloader. 3805.06.02.03_M
I think these are enough, I'll try to flash new kernel but before that i want to ask that if i'll lose anything? Or what will change?

Having the same experienced with you. Got problem with MMS too. Just now, I've called my network provider, it said that I need to tick "Data enabled" first if I want to use internet connection. If untick it, we cannot use the internet connection. Don't know whether working for you or not, but seriously working for me.

I don't use that ROM myself, but, I'm aware that they've released a later version about a week ago, so I'd be tempted to perform a full factory reset and then any additional wipe instructions that come with ROM installation which you'll usually find in post #1 and then upgrade to that.
I'd then apply which ever kernel that they recommend in the ROM thread (or you may find the new version comes with the new kernel). If you then continue to get issues try posting in the ROM thread as well as updating this thread as this may bring you more results....

It might not be related with rom because same issue happened before when i was using non-rooted stock rom. Anyway i going to apply new update with full wipe. I hope it wont occur again.
Hi all!
Yesterday I have flashed the CM11 rom and the Grimlock kernel on my TF300T tablet (JB 4.2 bootloader 10.6.1.27.5).
Soon after flashing the CM11 rom I've been experiencing problems with my wifi. The connection is really slow and often doesn't work! I have the same problem on the original OmniROM too.
On the previous rom, cromi-x, the wifi connection worked fine .
I would try kitakat but I need a wifi connection that works properly.
How can i fix the wifi issue?
Thanks in advance,
LcK.

Ok.. Go to settings/wifi/advanced.... Once there make sure you uncheck, network notification, scanning always available, wi-fi optimization, and in wifi region code make sure its set to your region... After making these changes do a reboot so to refresh everything.. See if that makes a difference... Thx lj
Thanks! Now the wifi connection works fine
Unfortunately the wifi issue was shown again. I set my country region (europe) and i have unchecked network notification, scanning always available and wi-fi optimization.
I can apply another fix?

Have you done a factory reset (wiping data) before flashing CM? If not, give that a try.
No worries, your internal sdcard contents will not be wiped.
EDIT: Use recovery, don't use the wipe option on the bootloader screen. The latter seems to be a sure way to a brick.

Now this little tidbit is soooo important, it should almost be like part of the filename. Or better yet , the toggles set to the PROPER toggle settings for correct WiFi performance .... I suspect these settings, once applied, will correct a multitude of installs all over. Tks man.
So, after I flashed Cyanogenmod 10.1.3 for my Tab 2, it cannot connect to my wifi. I flashed it with the proper procedures, like wiping Data and Dalvik cache, I've installed the Nightly builds to try to eliminate the problem and they kept crashing, so I reverted back to 10.1.3 and still no connection. I've reset my router and made sure that my password was right. Now I have no clue what to do next
Forgive me if this is in the wrong place, I've just signed up today.

Charge your tab to aprox 70% or more and Try this:
1-download a STOCK firmware file from the internet for your region( the region thing is not necessary, but just for the sake of it )
2- boot into recovery
3- wipe data/flactory reset
4- wipe cache
5-wipe dalvik
6-format /system
7- boot into download mode and flash the STOCK firmware file using ODIN.
i am assuming you have used ODIN before in this case... if you have not, then:
1-download ODIN ( http://samsung-updates.com/Odin307.zip )
2-make sure you have the correct drivers installed
3-connect the device ( in the text box, it should say added)
4- click on the pda option and select the firmware file ( make sure ONLY auto reboot and F.reset time are checked )
5- click on START button to flash the file.

I don't think its a ROM related issue. There must be some issue with your router itself... try resetting your router and change WPA/WPA2 password once...and reconnect again with new password. give me a feedback so that i can help you further.

I reset my router, disabled TKIP encryption and disabled the MAC filter. I live in a house with 5 people so i don't think they would be happy with me doing anything else with the router. I'll try again at my friend's place and see if i can connect to his WEP connection.

I don't think you would be able to connect to WEP networks..as android versions >2.3.7 does not have access to those networks by default....but you can give that a shot.

I'm losing hope.
I am having the same issue for about a week now. It does not appear to be router related, or software related either.
We have two P3113 tablets in the house, and when mine went wonky - set my daughter's with same software and her's connects without issue.
Rooted, not rooted, stock recovery or custom. Stock software from 4.0.4 to 4.2.2 and custom ROM's as well. Currently running CM 11 on both. One connects while the other does not
I think it may be hardware related

Your problem might be related to duplicated mac addreses. Could you check if both tabs have different mac addresses.
This also counts for all others, check if there are no other devices with the same mac.
When I was building CM for both my Xperia L & Tab, they both got the same mac address because they where build on tbe same host.

Mac addresses are different. There is an issue with the IP address on the one that does not connect. It is blank by default, and manually inputting the address does not help

I have this rather annoying problem with my OPO: When I'm on WiFi and go out of range and get within range of another WiFi (eg leaving from home in the morning and getting on the train where there's also WiFi) my OPO will not connect.
I've tried switching WiFi off and back on, tried forgetting network and connecting again but the network just displays as "Saved". Only thing that works is a reboot. Funny thing is that it actually detects open WiFi's and displays the question mark in the notification bar.
I've read that themes can cause WiFi problems so I haven't changed that. I'm using the Apex launcher with no visual changes.
I've rooted my phone but left the bootloader locked.
Any advice?
I'm rooted with the TWRP custom recovery installed. I had the same thing happen to me. If you toggle airplane mode on/off, it will reconnect. But, as for a solution, my fix was to restore a previous TWRP backup of my phone. I also had heard that the problem could be coming from a theme. What themes have you used? I bought the Flux theme and have been using its style and fonts. I was running the stock CM11s when this happend just a few days after getting my OPO. I would try a factory reset first. If that does not work, there is a thread in the OPO forums about flashing a factory image and getting back to 100% stock.
I have switched to the CM11 nightlies as of a couple of days ago. I will probably refrain from messing around with the theme packs for now.

Yesterday I failed to flash MAHDI and ended up clearing everything from my phone. I had to follow this guide:

I really hate to hear that you are still having the wifi issue. One would think that if you flashed all partitions with a factory image that it would solve the problem. You might want to have a look at this thread. This guy was unsuccessful in fixing his efs and bluetooth problems until he flashed Color OS and then went back to CM.

Been there. Done that. Read the book. Got the t-shirt.
Flashed ColorOS.
Factory reset.
Booted and got through into ColorOS (skipped account setup).
Booted into recovery.
Factory reset.
Restore backup of CM11S.
No dice :'-(
What are my options now?
A couple of days ago I completely wiped my OPO - radio, modem, everything and flashed a new stock image. Nothing has helped.
I really find it hard to believe this to be a hardware issue.

Just for clarification - after flashing Color OS, did you turn on wifi and use it to see if the problem was still there while in Color OS?
If your WiFi 2.4 or 5GHZ?

My phone is set to auto but I have tried setting it to 2.4 and 5 GHz respectively. Nothing works.

Yes. I would recommend you consider doing that. If it works then I would flash a fresh Cm11s rom, not a nandroid backup. Flash the Color OS and do a full check of the Wifi.

I was having the same issue, but here's what I did and it seems to have resolved my issue.
1) Updated firmware on my ASUS AC68 router
2) Boot into recovery mode (volume down+power), wipe cache and media, then factory wipe
3) When setting up phone, did not apply CM theme on the options after logging into CM account.
It seems like WiFi might drop when you get to homescreen, just reboot phone and Wifi should reconnect. Make sure to go into your WiFi settings and remove any networks that was saved, and re-add.
Still not ideal (since it seems like themes might be killing WiFi for some users), so hopefully a new OTA update will solve this problem.
I have searched and searched and found several different threads and posts on this on various forums but nothing conclusive. I wanted to use this thread to list out everything that I have found so far and hope it helps people.
Sympton - Wifi signal turns Orange from White. Even though Wifi is connected, there is no data transfer.
Cause - I have read that the orange is due to Google services being disconnected (not sure why it should affect everything else like Whatsapp, etc.)
Workaround - Turn off Wifi and turn it back on. OR Turn on airplane mode and turn it off again. OR reboot.
Solution - I read in a couple of places that the resolution to this was being merged in 38R but I have updated and it is still there for me.
Would appreciate if you can provide links here if there is more to add and will help people with this problem, thanks in advance.
It could also be a flaky internet connection to your Wi-Fi AP.
Good luck. I have the same issue before and after 38r and no one has a real explanation or solution.

I have 5 other devices connected to the same AP and there is no problem, this is a known issue and nothing to do with the AP.

You are right, I do not have a solution too but hoping someone can help. The issue is still there with 38R and all I can do is switch on and off the Wifi every now and then which is a deal-breaker of sorts.
I just read somewhere that if you install Franco kernel, this issue gets fixed, can someone please confirm if they have tried it?

I tried the Franco Kernel with no success. Maybe you would experience something else.
can confirm franco R26 did not fix issue. Have yet to try R27.
I have the same problem it's really annoying...I am wondering why I bought this device now

Were you able to try the R27 and did it help?
I see this on the r28 franco kernel, doesn't seem to cause me any issues though, to be honest I was under the impression when it was orange it simply meant it was transferring data
R28 doesnt help with this issue either.
Does anyone have a better fix?
I have the same problem on 38R. It seems to keep disconnecting from different WiFi connections so I know it's not just my home wifi

Just sharing my results, I had the same issue and I got my ISP to swap out the Modem/Router combo and everything has been working great since.
Someone reported on CyanogenMod JIRA that the new OTA 44S fixed this issue for them, so there may be some hope for people

I posted that the new OTA has fixed this issue for me on JIRA.
So far so good!
You can either wait for the OTA or flash it manually through a custom recovery (TWRP etc..)
For those wondering:
I have updated to 44S OTA :
http://builds.cyngn.com/fota/incremental/bacon/cm-bacon-ac1ccf7921-to-5fa8c79c0b-signed.zip
Looks like this has FINALLY fixed my orange standby wifi issue!
So give the new 44S update a try and see if it works for you.
You will lose root when flashing the zip so just reflash SuperSU in the recovery right after flashing the OTA zip.
44S has the same issue
44S has the same issue, but I noticed my Bell router's behaviour and found that the reason my opo is not responding is because following power saving flag is set to 1, after I set it to 0 and rebooted, problem solved, no orange icon or wifi disconnect even after overnight deep sleep -
File - /system/etc/wifi/WCNSS_qcom_cfg.ini
gEnableBmps=0
After reboot make sure this change is picked up in /data/misc/wifi/WCNSS_qcom_cfg.ini
Please hit thanks if you find this helpful
How should I do It?
