Hi,
I did some extensive searching and couldn't find the answer to this, but I can't imagine I'm the only one with the problem. I flashed the 10/24 nightly build of CyanogenMod yesterday and was disappointed to find out that wifi would not turn on. I installed the latest nightly this morning (which seems to have fixed a bunch of other stuff) and wifi is still not working. Any thoughts? Am I just in a waiting pattern until it is fixed by the builds, or is there some step or hidden setting I need to change?
Thanks!
Sam
the wifi itself wont turn on? or it wont connect to a SSID?

Thanks for your reply. The wifi itself won't turn on. When I open the settings and toggle it on, it looks like it's about to because it goes a little darker, but then when I go to the Settings page for wifi it is just stuck on "Turning wifi on..." so I can't even see any SSIDs to connect to. Other behavior that is potentially peculiar:
The region setting is Europe by default, though even when changing it to U.S. it still doesn't work.
MAC Address is "Unavailable". I would have thought that unlike IP address, the device should know its own MAC address without needing to be online. Could this be the culprit, and if so, how do I resolve it?
Screenshot of the Wifi Settings Page
I have attached a screenshot of what the wifi settings panel looks like. Note the toggle is stuck at off, but the wifi is still trying to turn on. It has been this way for about an hour now.
link me to the 10/24 and 10/26 build you mentioned.

Sorry, I'm new so I can't post links. But I've attached a screenshot of the page with URL that I used to download the nightlies.
Fixed!
This is now fixed. It was suggested on a G+ thread to wipe everything completely again and start fresh making sure to delete the cache and such. Doing this worked and I now have wifi!
Thanks so much for your help!
sweet! glad its working for you.
i was thinking you flashed the wrong thing because you said 10/24 build. thats why i asked for the link to what you flashed. anyway, enjoy the rom. take care

I've been having issues with wifi on my tab. I visit a friends house and it won't pick up the wifi. My phone picks it up fine, laptops pick it up ect. I stand AT the router and still it doesn't pick it up.
I thought it was a 1 off but it started happening at work too. The only differenceis that is WAS working fine at work, now won't pick it up. And now I have the same issue at my parents.
Does anyone else have this issue? Does anyone know a fix?
Cheers
Try wifi sleep policy and play with the options. Mine was set to "Never" and I was having random problems. Now set to "when screen turns off", and I never lose connection, screen on or off... On the other hand your problem may be different.
/reviveThread
Can't be sleep policy as it picks up other wireless networks fine.
I was just living with this issue until it lost my Home Wifi! Now thats gone I have to turn Hotspot on my phone, which I shouldn't have to do.
I thought it might be a problem with the ROM, so I've tried Task's GalaxyTask v5.0 and I still have the same issue. Might try flashing Stock and seeing if I get the same issue.
This is doing my head in now!
I flashed 3.2 Stock (rooted) and it picked up the missing Wifi connections. The rom is full of hebrew with silly boot and shutdown animations though. Tried flashing several custom 3.2 ROMS other than that and same issue as before.
Also, added connection manually and stood next to the Wifi antenna at work. Still got nothing. WTH is going on?
I read somewhere that Galaxy tab is not able to connect to some channels of wifi.
I believe it was not working with channels above 11
Try changing the channel and check
Thanks for the reply.
My home network is on channel 3. Plus it doesn't really explain how it can work 1 sec then totally disapear forever. Also doesn't explain how it works with the stock hebrew ROM but not with any others I've tried.
Just trying to find the wireless details for work now so I can change the channel anyway.
Then go with the Hebrew Rom and select English as language
Sent from my GT-P7510

I'd rather have no Wifi than see that nasty looking shutdown animation.
Anyway, problem seems to be semi resolved now.
Changed my wireless from channel 2 to 12, still didn't show. Back to 2, still didn't show. Changed it to 10 and it magically appeared.
Not sure what the work one is on. Still waiting for access.
I finally for the first time went from gingerbread AND rooted/flashed a new rom to my i777. AOKP has me happy in every way except that wifi doesnt work. According to the AOKP FAQ wifi should work on new builds, but if it doesnt I'm told to:
Go to \system\etc\wifi
In nvram_net.txt change ccode=GB --> ccode=US
In nvram_net.txt_murata change ccode=GB --> ccode=US
Reboot
Thing is those .txt ccode values were already set to US. I also heard that a guy turned off mobile data then wifi worked, tried that as well with no success. Given that idk what to do next.
The wifi simply attempts to get the ip address and when it does begin doing that the signal for wifi drops to one bar even though I am next to the router and it was full prior to said attempt at ip acquisition.

then you haven't even rebooted your device after a fresh flash. wifi works perfectly. this is either something you've done wrong or you haven't taken the 10 seconds it takes to reboot your device. you're posting a non-issue.
Of course I have rebooted. I rebooted last night after the flash (reboot #1). Then I turned my phone off after a few hours as I don't leave it on overnight (reboot #2). Lastly prior to making this thread I tried turning off mobile data, rebooting with it off and then attempting to get onto the wifi, and again with no success (reboot #3).
Full wipe, reflash.
Wifi works fine. think might have issues with hidden networks, dont have one so I cant comment or speculate, just hearsay.
full wipe. reflash.
Thanks!
edit: never mind. I did the full wipe and flash. It worked until I toggled wifi off and now it wont connect even after several reboots.

Then you have a defective device. You are the only one to have this issue out of the thousands of people who are using my rom.

if it is defective then why would it work on gingerbread just fine for the months that I have had it? Also why would it after following Motomudder's advice would it work up untill I toggled it off?
I tried one more full wipe and reflash, this time it didn't work at all, unlike last time where it worked when I was greeted by the "welcome to andriod sign in blah blah blah intro" screen.
I think there is more to it than simply my i777 being "defective."
Did one last full wipe and reflash, did a few reboots with mobile data off and now it works.
I'm no programmer so idk what was up, but now it is working, and I am very happy. Thank you Moto for your help. :good:
Lesson learned.
Try to full wipe and reflash multiple times if those first few tries didn't work.
Hi
I'm a first time poster here
I'm having a problem with the wifi on my s3. I've searched the forums but the problems see to be different.
I can install a rom and when it goes through the initial account setup. when i get to the wifi i see my home network strong signal. i tap it and put in the password and it disappears, leaving me with my network not in range. Which is strange because it's working fine on this laptop.
i did the power saving turn off via *#0011# - no luck
i've wiped and reinstalled numerous times. each time i can tap on my network before it vanishes
Please point me in the right direction

the most recent one is, GT-I9300_WanamLite.Deodexed.XXEMC2.NO-WIPE, as i read in another thread that this fixed someone elses problem.
i've also used the cyanogen 10.1.3
one more try one more fail
Just tried android revolution rom. same problem
it picks up some networks, very low signal, but not the home router it is on top of. i can turn the wifi on and off and occasionally get a glimpse of my home network, but then it disappears.
really frustrating as i can't log into my google account and download contact info. makes the phone almost useless
Wipe phone flash your original stock rom or its update and test .

I've only owned my Omate Truesmart for one day and the WiFi decided to give it up. I turned the wifi off once today and as soon as I tried to turn the WiFi back on it would not work. Whenever I touch the button to activate WiFi it lights up blue for a second and it then stops. Tried it several times today and nothing different. When I try to get into the wifi settings from the "Wireless & Networks" I'm greeted by a blank screen too.
So far I'm considering if it's a software issue I might try to return it to the stock firmware with this guide. However I'm waiting until I get some input from other people. I don't have cellular data access because I don't have a sim card in it. Any help is appreciated.
So what not stock firmware are you running? BTW both BT and wifi hang on stock firmware. You need to disable quickboot and reboot.
Question. What is wrong with my flashing guide so I can fix it.
Oh nothing wrong with the guide. I haven't used it yet. I'm on the stock firmware. How do I disable the quickboot?
Settings/System/Accessability, it;s the last option.

I got my Omate today and am having trouble with Wifi. If I turn wifi on it crashes the phone and cuaes it to completely power off. It will run for as long as I like with airplane mode on and will not crash if I turn bluetooth on. I found this suggestion and turned quickboot off and rebooted. Still the same behavior with wifi. Has anyone else reported this? Any suggestions?
I'm running firmware 20140120
I have a weak wifi signal on my Omate. Unless I'm right next to the router I can't pick up a wifi signal with the watch. Is there anything that I can do about this?
Sounds like the wifi antenna connector came lose. Contact Omate and get it replaced. The only other option is to disassemble it and reseat the connector.
I come from Italy and I updated my device on March, as everyone, I think. My device is now perfect except the wifi. The wifi disconnect during the stanby and it connects only using the static mode. I also have this problem even if I changed the wifi option for the stanby in "always". Another strange thing is that the wifi is reported as one of the main cause of consumption, as it is shown in the screeshot
I'm having WiFi issues as well since MM. It's set to Active on Sleep, but whenever I wake my tablet, it's disconnected and having much difficulties to re-connect.
I assumed it was some Xposed thing I'm running, haven't tested it 'clean'. Also, I'm on AndroPlusKernel v22. Not v22a yet.

Hi,
For the static mode try to change the DHCP client in the setting->developpers option.
Where are the developper options?

Same problem here
Version .163
Stock kernel
Wifi standby settings to "always"
5Ghz wifi
Sometimes (not always) wifi disconnected after standby
DHCP working here
Maybe it is linked to wifi router problems during standby. I had wifi problems already before MM (! sign at wifi symbol). Maybe the difference now is that it isn't reconnecting in standby anymore after wifi failure. But just a guess...
At least it's not how option "always" should work...

Hi,
Maybe it's related to your router lease time that send a new DHCP address after lease time. Check if the lease time is set to "permanent"

Thanks for reply. It's set to three weeks, so not the reason.
(But even then it must renew the lease and not stop the wifi.)
I'll get new router soon, let's see if something changes...

I have the same issue but I actually have the turn off wifi in sleep enabled but it still shows up that its being used in sleep when I look at battery
The problem:?*
I connect it to the Wi-Fi and it works fine for about 5 minutes. As I'm watching YouTube videos every 5 minutes the video pauses and starts to buffer until it eventually say connection lost. Meanwhile the tablet still claims that Wi-Fi is still connected and with full connection. This also happens with web pages and apps that require and internet connection.
Temporary fix:
Turning Wi-Fi off and back on again fixes it, but only for a few minutes.
What have I tried to fix it?
I've tried everything from a factory reset to a software repair.
OS: Android 6.0 (Marshmallow)?*
Build Number: 32.1.A.1.185
Any help would be much appreciated. Thanks in advanced.

Same I was having it on lollipop too. They told me to send it in for repair but I just ignored them cuz there's no point. It's a software issue not a hardware issue. They're not going to find anything wrong with my tablet. It's in perfect condition.
