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] Jellybean Roms & Bluetooth

Hello,
I have had some issues with Bluetooth on jellybean ROM and not connecting to my radio correctly to play music from my phone it never seems to connect and send the music to the radio just stays on the phone and was wondering if anyone else had had similar issues. Bluetooth works the way it should when i go back to ICS Roms, when i get in the and the radio is on the music will switch from the phone to radio with out problem might take 30 sec or so but will switch over
thanks

I know on AOSP there has been numerous bluetooth issues with different devices. I'm not sure if its because it's AOSP or JellyBean. More than likely its the same problem you're running into. What ROM are you running? Scan thru it's thread to see if there are any fixes, if not ask in the thread describing the device you're trying to connect.

thanks for the reply .... the latest one i was using was CM10 ....right now im using SynergyROM and all is working ok .... yeah i tried to post in the rom i was having trouble with but im blocked from posting since i don't have enough post undender my belt i guess lol

Yeah, I didn't notice at first, I was on my phone. You need 10 posts to reply to a thread in the dev forums. It's not very hard to come up with 10 quality posts tho. There's so much general discussion.
I do know for a fact that CM10 was having issues with car bluetooth's along with other devices besides earpieces... it's the ROM I've been running and following. I didn't pay too much attention to the bluetooth problems tho as my earpiece works fine and I don't have a car to hook my phone up too lol.

yeah i just started using it more so now ive notice , about the only time i have ever use bluetooth

[Q] Weird wifi problem

I'm experiencing some weird problem over wifi. No matters where I'm connected it always works just for a while (less than 30 minutes). It happens at my place, work, and also at my girlfriend's place. Even at my university (over VPN) it happens and freaks me out.
I believe it could be a wireless driver problem but I'm not sure. I'm currently using MR1 AOKP ROM (last version) but It also happened on ARHD 5.0 and 7.0 ROM versions.
Sometimes my workaround is disconnect and connect again, also turn off and on the Wi-fi, and also using VPN. But it just works for a while (every few minutes).
Can somebody help me with this?
Are someone experiencing something like this?
Regards,

But I don't want to use the stock rom. I prefer AOKPs. There's some way to update or flash just the wireless driver?

Did you contact the AOKP Developer or post on that thread with your issue?

If you search in the CM11 thread, you'll find this is a common issue. Do you have a d-link router? It seems like there might be a common issue on d-link routers, although I have a cisco/linksys router and I experience the same issue sometimes.
It appears to be an issue with CM11 and Gummy ROMs. It might even be an issue across all AOSP-based ROMs but I don't know for sure.

Issues with Wi-fi and Bluetooth radios

Hello XDA!
I'm having some issues with the wi-fi, and bluetooth, connectivity on my GM-930F S7 (Non-edge) phone.
The wi-fi issue is that it occasionally disconnects, and when I try to re-connect, it either doesn't work (quickly goes through the motions, but doesn't connect), or lists the hotspot as "disabled". I had no issues with this on my backup Note, nor on my older S5.
The bluetooth issue is that if the phone doesn't seem to have a direct line-of-sight to the earphones then the audio almost immediately drops out and begins to stutter/drop seconds of audio, like somebody is bashing the mute-button.
I think both of these issues are related, potentially they share the same radio. I do have a HDSPA+ connection when I'm out and about, so that works, but I do think perhaps I've got a mismatched radio/setting somewhere which is screwing with those two.
I've already tried to return to stock, twice, using two separate ROMs flashed through Odin (BTU-G930FXXU1DPLT-20170117160813, & G930FXXU1DQE7_G930FEVR1DQD1_EVR) (I'm with EE), and I've also tried a myriad of other roms, (AOKP, AOSPExtended, ResurrectionRemix, SlimRom, Linage 14.1), however none of them seem to solve the issue.
My question is has anybody experienced an issue like this before? Are there any specific radios or things you'd recommend I flash, either via TWRP or Odin? Any more details I can provide?
Just so I'm clear, the wi-fi and bluetooth worked beautifully on my S5, so I have no reason to believe that hardware is at fault, it's very likely the phone.

I've also just tried it with a MM rom (G930FXXU1APAW_G930FOXA1APBA_BTU) and the same issue occurs.

Seems like faulty hardware. I am using superman ROM and no problems so far. I mean, i doubt you will fix it by changing ROM. You should bring it to the service.

Thanks for the reply! I don't think it's hardware, if it was then the wi-fi/bluetooth would either work, or not work. I mean if I keep the phone close to the earphones the bluetooth is fine, but if it's arms length away, or there isn't a line-of-sight, it drops, the wi-fi is similarly spotty, but not working/broken. I had a similar issue on my old S5, I ended up solving it but I can't remember how, it was years ago. However it certainly was a software issue. Either ROM, or Kernel, or Modem/CP, etc.
I see lots of comments from people about the issue occurring once they upgrade to Nougat, so I'm very sure it's software. Possibly an issue with the Kernel or Modem, or a combination of both.

Would it be possible (minus the EFS of course) to get an upload of your setup so I can try with your exact settings? I've tried the SuperMan ROM before, but I'll give it another go now.

Also (Although it isn't 100% solved), I've found trying out the ROM "[ROM] S8 FULL PORT FOR S7 & S7 EDGE by ambasadii [AQEB] [v3.1]" noticeably increases the range that the bluetooth works over. It still isn't a large range, but it more than doubles it. I've gone back to previous ROMs I've tried, speaker and phone in the same place, and it doesn't transmit that far, back to the S8 Port, and it does. I've no idea what could be causing this and it's really bothering me. I know the S8 has upgraded bluetooth software, but this speaker worked fine with my S5.

As do I
Ideally just a snapshot of your system, minus all the personal information and such - if your bluetooth works fine with your modem/rom/bootloader/etc and it doesn't on mine, then at least I can be reasonably sure it is a hardware issue, in which case I'll have to try to get it mended.
The reason I'm not 100% sure is the S8 ROM extended the BT range to what other S7 ROMs haven't, so I'm still not 100% sure.
