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.
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.
The tittle says it all. I have stock 442 rom and have tried faux and franko kernel.
I have the wifi drop issue that is driving me crazy.
Has anyone tried a rom or a kernel that has fixed there wifi drop issue.
thanks

i dont have wifi drops using trinity and rastakat rom. but i dont use wifi very often. maybe it isnt an issue with your kernel, but an issue with your router?

Did you have any wifi drop before you tried those roms?
I tried everything I could find everywhere and my conclusion (along with a lot of others) is that there is something somewhere with the kernel or rom.
Also I know it is not my router cause I have a total of about 6 devices connected to it.(not all at the same time)

no.
but as i said, i dont use wifi very often, actually its pretty rare. but when i did, didnt have any drops.
I use WiFi as much as possible, just because I work in an old cotton mill so the signal strength in big, Victorian stone buildings is not good. I'm probably on WiFi for 21 out of 24 hours of the day. I've never experienced any drops on Any ROM / Kernel combination that were not attributed to a problem with the local network, so I'm not really sure how advice can be given.
Just because only 1 device has problems connecting to a particular router, doesn't mean the problem isn't the router. People are often surprised on facebook when they say "one iphone cant connect to my wireless router" and my advice of rebooting the router worked. Sure, it may not be the solution to the problem here but it is not uncommon that a router issue only affects 1 out of many devices so don't rule it out.
I get what you're saying but like I said I tried everything and nothing worked. Since the n5 has WiFi ac I was thinking of changing my router and then we will see. In the mean time I'm trying some ROMs using multirom.

Since there is no "major bug" with WiFi drop outs, it's unlikely that any ROM or kernel will resolve the issues you're having. They seem to be localised. Maybe you'll find something and I wish you good luck, but I doubt it.
I would change the channel on the router before I did anything else. You can use WiFi analyzer to check what channel is best or if another router that's close on the same channel is screwing yours up

You are probably most likely correct in your assessment of the problem. But the more I think about it, it sure does seem like there have been a lot of wifi complaints recently. More precisely, complaints about wifi not staying connected. I don't know, maybe there is an issue that only a very small percentage of people experience.
Rebooting the router is always the first thing that one should try, as you suggested. Also, firmware updates could potentially solve issues with certain routers. But, I will acknowledge that it is possible there is a hardware/software issue with the N5. Remember that battery drain issue that I and a few other people were complaining about? I think I fixed it. Switching to SlimKat and using the stock SlimKat kernel, I had 9 days of uptime before rebooting for a nandroid. I could never even get 25% of that using the stock ROM without seeing 5-8% per hour idle drain (not wakelocks, but perhaps kernel deep sleep issues). There is a bug in that stock ROM/kernel, somewhere, that is causing that issue for a handful of devices that have certain chip revisions. They are all made in batches, right? Just like no two CPUs will overclock or undervolt the same, why can't two wifi chips be different?
I'm constantly reminded of the N7 2013 touch screen fiasco. If you are not aware, some a sizable percentage of the N7 units have multi-touch problems. The touch screen quite literally goes ballistic if you touch it with more than one finger at a time. Some other models register touches where the screen wasn't touched (ghost touches). My first one had the ghost touch issue, RMAd, new one has been fine. Then there's the units with grounding issues, where the screen only works properly on some surfaces and not others.
They are still selling affected units. They know the problem exists. They said they fixed it. And they did, for some. Google is trying to fix a hardware issue with software. They know the hardware is faulty, but sell the devices anyhow, and will deal with RMAs as they pop up, and ignore legitimate complaints. The rep I talked to on the phone (very nice, btw), wasn't going to give me an RMA. I had to press the issue to get a replacement.
I was one who subscribed to the theory that you shouldn't buy a brand new model device, because invariably, there will be bugs that will need to be worked out in the manufacturing process. This theory has zero merit. At least not with LG and Asus.
If after doing all the router stuff the problem isn't fixed, @nitramus, try using SlimKat with the SK kernel.
Thank you so much for that response and some acknowledgment. I started testing ROMs and already a good change. Compared to atom rom,/kernel I can now use a y otg cable and simultaneously charge the phone and use mass storage.

Calls drop often. Usually within the first minute, and then every time when Im calling back after 10sec. The phone itself does not lose signal. Strange thing is, if I'm getting phone call after first/second drop, phone continues connection without problems... But Only when Im receiving a phone call not when Im trying to re-call someone.
- I tried replacing my sim and the issue persists. No problems with other phones using this Sim (even in the same locations).
These are pretty annoying issues. Anybody else experiencing them? Is there a different radio I can try for the phone? Is there any log I can access showing a reason for the call drop, or any trouble shooting I can do? This seems to be independent of WCDMA Only/Preferred/GSM/WCDMA (Auto) settings. Or if, how to change these settings?
Note: This has nothing to do with the network. I've been with the same company (Orange Europe) for about 2.5 years, and have never had this happen before. This has been consistent since I got my OnePlus (about 1 week ago)
That's true. I'm experiencing this as well for quite some time now. At first I joked and said: Hey, the NSA joined our conversation.....again. But after some time it really annoys me. This has nothing to do with the ROM or kernel as I have tried out various combinations. What I found out is that it got better after I returned to stock CM 11s with stock kernel. But it's not gone completly.
Honestly I neither know how to fix it nor what is causing the problem. Try to reflash the CM11S 25R firmware and see if it gets better. I think something is wrong with the modem software since CM11S 22R,25R and CM11 builds are using the same modem software. Maybe the announced update for the end of this month or early next month will fix this. I really hope so because a phone which is not able to hold a call, can't be considered as a real phone.
Oh im pitty You, If You'll get something just please let me know. Any advices or help will be appreciated. Maybe waiting for new CM relase will solve the problem, I do rly like this OS even with so many bugs... there is always an option. Move to stock 4.4 published by OP on official website.
Anyone else facing the same issue? Was there ever a fix for this issue? I'm on 38R and still encountering this issue
Same here.

So, I picked up my N5 last summer. It's the first android phone I didn't feel like I had to root to get everything I wanted out of it, but after updating to lollipop OTA I've found wifi reception is TERRIBLE, often it would be preferable just to use my cellular data connection; I've read this is a common problem too. Unfortunately, doing this, I find I hit my data cap occasionally, which is a gigantic pain in the butt. I've read that I can downgrade to the version of kitkat that the phone shipped with, but that's kind of like fixing an ingrown toenail by cutting off my foot.
Does anyone know if cyanogen fixes this? If so, that would be preferrable to rolling back version.
Don't know about that WiFi bug. Never experienced it on my phone and neither do I experience it on CM. But if I remember correctly some guys also posted about this issue in the CM thread...
"I've found wifi reception is TERRIBLE"
What does this mean?
Fewer bars on the wifi icon? Wifi connection times out a lot more? Slower speeds?
Fewer bars doesnt mean that the connection is worse.
Timing out/slower speeds might be due to several reasons. TCP/IP tunables, apps using up traffic/opening up ports...
