[Q] Wifi Problems with Custom ROMs - Transformer TF300T Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Hi Everyone,
I am relatively new to this, but I have now tried two KitKat Roms, and had wifi problems with both. I tried Kat Kiss first and then OmniRom, both 4.4.4. The wifi works sporadically, but eventually drops out and says out of range, and then goes into a obtaining IP address loop, before the network disappears all together. Yesterday it was working fine from about 8 AM to 11 AM, and then disappeared. Has anyone else had this problem, and, if so, is there a fix? Please let me know.

I have the same issue on the latest stock rom, but usually is a router problem .

[SOLVED] WIFI issues on any ICS roms.

Lately my phone's WIFi started to have issues. It will work for few minutes and then will stop receiving any data. The only way to temporarily fix it is to toggle WIFI off and on. But then again it will only work for few minutes, anyone has an idea what's wrong?
This issue I experienced on these roms:
Stock ICS Leak #1.
SCV7
Team Shogun's ICS rom 1.2
MIUI by team shogun.
MIUI by rdavict
Does it sounds like a hardware issue? Any troubleshooting tips?
Did you have the WiFi issues when you are stock which mean the first time you get your phone?Maybe it's your base ROM problem.

No, I had this phone for about one month, but the WIFI started acting up about one week ago.
Just did a fxz back to 2.3.6 and updated to ICS. Seems to be working without issues so far.
May not matter now (I'm downloading ics as we speak) but I "solved " this problem by also keeping my Bluetooth turned on all the time. Once I did that, the wifi disconnects (which started about 9 months after I got the phone) stopped. But I'm hoping the update has a fix.

The WIFI issues started again. Will try what jacindc suggested.
Edit:
Nope, enabled BT and WIFI, rebooted, WIFI stopped working within 2 minutes. It stays connected but doesn't receive any data until I reconnect.
Maybe delete and recreate your WiFi profiles too?
My wifi has been solid since upgrading, with Bluetooth turned off.

What do you mean by deleting and recreating WIFI profiles?
Been running CM10, and WIFI works great here.
I downgraded to ICS and the problem started again. Figured out what it was when my bro started complaining that his RAZR started having WiFi problems.
The problem was that the router gave out same IP address to both phones. :facepalm:
EDIT: Both phones have identical MAC address.

[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.

[Q] bluetooth connectivity issues between one plus one and my car(2012 bmw 328i)

I had same issues with my nexus 5. I bought one plus one thinking that I would not have those issues. but i was wrong.
I can pair my phone with my car but it disconnects after a minute or so. It will try to reconnect and disconnect again. it goes on until i disable my bluetooth on my phone.
it is very annoying. does anyone know if there is a way to fix it. I am on latest release 38R.
Ask bmw if there's an update for your system.
Have you tried a different ROM, such as Slimkat?
I have ALWAYS had issues connecting my Nexus 4/Nexus 5 to my STI when running any version of CM10/CM11. Switching away from Cyanogenmod solved the Bluetooth connectivity issues with both phones. Slimkat has been the most flawless on my Nexus 5.
My OnePlus One arrives early next week and I plan on immediately rooting/installing Slimkat for this reason. CM11 has had bluetooth connectivity/streaming issues since day 1 and the Cyanogen team has shown absolutely no interest in fixing it in every single new release. It's quite frustrating really.

My OPO (38R) don't work with connected drive. I can go to the internet but BMW online don't work (the request page not found).
It's don't work with LTE but it work if my OPO have and WIFI connection... I try with another rom (slim kat and CM11) and I have the same issues.
BMW online work very nice with my SIII with HDSPA connection.
Only BMW online doesn't work, I can play music in bluetooth, phone with the car and go to the internet. :crying:
i had an issue with BT w my nexus 5 when running CM11 on it with my Audi, but seems like no issues with 33R for me... or 38R for that matter. so not sure sorry
Maybe it's my operator...

[Q] WiFi doesn't work when Bluetooth is connected

I apologize for the bad title,
When I connect to my Mi Band via BT, my WiFi stops functioning. If I disable BT, WiFi starts working, but then I can't connect to BT. I'm on 5.0.2, and I had CM12, and I also tried Slim Rom, but the issue persisted across both ROMs.
Does anyone have an idea as to what could be causing this?

There were some discussions about this some weeks ago, it seems like it's a general issue with our phone and nobody found a solution. It is happening on KK as well not only on LP. You could try a Sense ROM but I think it's the same. Only ROM that could properly work might be an official one but that's Android 4.1.2 and Sense 4 at best

[Q] Data once lost wont re-connect

i am currently using Resurrection Remix 5.0.2 but was using cm12 nightlys before. The problem is that
the data connection is good but once i loose the connection there is an exclamation mark next to the
signal bar so i presume thats the data lost. It then wont connect again untill i reboot the phone.I have tried
switching on and off data but still no joy..This never happened on kitkat. I thought the problem was CM
related hence why i tried the RR rom but exactly the same is happening. Someone sugested that it could be
the sim card but im not so sure as it works fine before lollipop.I surely can't be the only one experiencing
this? but by the same token i can't find any info on it either ..maybe says something!!
Hope someone can help as i want to stay on lollipop i do like it, maybe the official release will sort it out.
Thank you

It's a ROM issue (radio.img). I was facing same problem on earlier builds of BlissPop ROM, but not no issues..
If you are getting exclamation mark in 2 or more ROMs, then there is problem with your sim-card or the network operator.
I suggest you to contact your concerned network operator and take his help for the same. (If you are facing same issue on 2 or more ROMs, try out Stock ROM CM11s)
Thank you for your reply, so would it be possible to flash a modem from kitkat or would there be compatibility issues with that?

did you check your network type and apn settings
So here is the latest update. I replaced the sim card on Saturday, the problem is is still there. I checked me APN settings they are three UK so that's ok. I've tried cm12,resurrection, blispop and now I'm on sabermod. I'm thinking this oneplus doesn't like lollipop, looks like I will have to revert to kitkat for just now until the official release comes out but I can't see that fixing the problem either as I don't seem to see anyone else with this problem.
Thank you for your help folks

I'm also with Three and have lost my data connection. They replaced the sim on Tuesday and I'm sure it worked until the old number swapped to the new sim. I have a 321 simcard on order and I'll try that once it arrives. My phone is still running Kitkat.
I had no problems with kitkat, if it lost the connection it automatically connected again when I was back in an area with a signal. But this has got me beat, a new sim card and too many roms to count but still the same problem. I am a lorry driver and cover the whole of Scotland and signal is patchy at best and it's annoying to find out later on in the day that data was off and you didn't receive any messages or emails.. Some of them important..

I have exactly the same problem.
I'm from Spain.
I've discovered that if i set network type to LTE it seems to work right.
Today I've moved from blisspop to temasek.
The 3g reconnect doesn't work, as always.
I turn data and wifi off when I sleep so tomorrow I will confirm if LTE works also with temasek.
my connection has always been set on LTE but never makes any difference
At the weekend I installed the official OxygenOs, I have been driving all day and had to reboot the phone 4 times because of this problem, I did half wish that when an official release came it would maybe sort out the problem but no joy. So I can only think it's to do with the oneplus. I'm at a loss now and seriously don't want to go back to kitkat but it looks like this will be the only solution to the problem..

I've tested this night again and if I set network to LTE.
The test I've done is.
- Turn off data and wifi before to sleep.
- Turn off only data when I woke up.
The connection was successful almost inmediately.
Greetings. I ran into similar issue with the CM12s update.
Once I lose the mobile signal for whatever reason, the data connection is not restored. Only way to regain it, is by restarting the phone (haven't tested airplane mode). Sometimes even if I leave WiFi on for long time (overnight), I will not have data connection after turning off the WiFi. I use HSPA connection only, not LTE.
I can not recall having this issue on KitKat. Issue was on the first CM12s update and remains on the second one, both were installed clean, so clean install of the ROM will not fix it. I am not using any custom ROMs or kernels, only TWRP recovery.
Has anyone had such issue and maybe found a solution to this?

Did you ever get this sorted? I've been having this issue, luckily I always have Wi-Fi at home/uni but there are times when it just won't find a Data connection. This happened right after the CM12 update :/

Well decided to a bit of searching, if you go into Settings -> Mobile Network Settings -> Network Operators and manually choose the network rather than the Auto Search option, it seems to have worked for me for the time being.
I am on the same boat as OP. The problems started after updating to Lollipop.
If anyone has found a solution, please let me know. I read about someone installing a 44S modem, but I'm unsure if this will permanently change system files (I wouldn't want it to) and I'm therefore hesitant.
