Hi... I have trouble with my wifi since yesterday...
The problem is that the phone can connect to the network perfectly but it has a really low link speed, 5 mbps and the wifi signal strenght is pretty good. I don't understand why this is happening.. .
What I have notice is that when I turn the wifi on, at first when the wifi icon is grey the wifi link speed is at 65 mpbs which I think that it was were it always has been but immediately turns to 5 mpbs.
Another thing that happens is that if I let the wifi on, after sometime it gets kinda like stuck, the connection is lost and the icon is grey but I can't turn it off.
My phone is a samsung galaxy s II (I9100) running CM rom, 10.2-20131014-NIGHTLY
Any advice about how to fix this problem?

You should try using a different rom like slimsaber rom by Fusionjack or cyanogenmod sabermod by Markox89.
Thanks for the reply, gsstudios.
I have a question, isn't there a way to fix the problem without having to use another rom? I don't think that the problem lays in the rom that I'm using, because like I said before, the problem started yesterday and I have the phone for a couple of years now.

You could try a different kernel like dorimanx 9.44 v005. If that bootloops, try dorimanx 8.44 v004. Since your WiFi toggle freezes after sometime, it could be a problem with the ROM. It could be due to some kind of corruption of the WiFi component in the ROM or maybe there is some interference with your WiFi signal.
Hope this helps, gsstudios
I installed Kernel_Dorimanx-V8.43-[12-21]-[24-10]-JB-SGII-PWR-CORE from dorimanx site and it didn't help with the situation, still I get a link speed of 5 mbps. Now, after flashing the kernel I have a new problem: I don't have root access anymore.
What can I do?

You should be able to get root access if you update SuperSU (if it's installed).
I can't update anything or do much things with the low link speed of wifi that the phone has...

Can't you send the file through your computer? Here is the flashable zip: http://download.chainfire.eu/696/SuperSU/UPDATE-SuperSU-v2.46.zip?retrieve_file=1
Your problem with wifi seems very weird. Are you using 5ghz or 2.5ghz channel? If you've tried both, check if you wifi setting have changed on your router. And are you sure there is no interference that is potentially slowing down your signal?
Well, now things got worse, wifi directly won't turn on: not from the icon, not from the toggle bar. It's dead. I had the wifi on automatic so I don't know what band was on..
---------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Edit: I found a way to get the wifi working again. But still I got the same problems like before: low link speed and after sometime the wifi freeze and I have to reboot the phone to get it working again.
On a side note, I have downloaded an app a few days back called wifi status wich is a widget app that let you see the wifi link speed and I don't understand a thing: it shows 2 things: the wifi link speed, for example 5mbps and down that shows something liike: -63dBm
That thing dBm is something that always change numbers...
Any idea of what that is?
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------
Right now I have a link speed of 19mbps, a few minutes back was 26mbps... But it went back to 19 mbps... I don't know what is happening with the phone.
Help please, I don't know what to do...

So today I decided I was bored with trigger and flashed project v because I'd heard really great comments about it. After a little more reading I flashed the Bali kernel which I'd had before. It's very fast but the only problem is I can't do anything that requires data usage without being connected to wifi. It's very annoying because although I'm in a bookstore at the moment and have wifi, I won't always have it and I'll be pissed when I can't use my phone. Has anyone else had this problem? Is there a solution? Thanks in advance!

I have exactly the OPPOSITE problem. When I'm on wi-fi, internet connection will drop after approximately an hour and I can only use 3G to connect to the internet unless I turn wifi off and back on.
I tried re-flashing but it didn't really do anything. But in your case, it might be worth trying. Good luck!
Thanks, I'll try it in a few hours.
Hi there
long time reader first time poster here...
searched and found nothing...
running the latest gingerbread AT&T official on a AT&T atrix (currently unlocked and running on the Rogers network in canada)
i seem to be having an issue with my Atrix lately(or at least been noticing).... normally when i am connected to the data networks fine, my signal meter and H+ are is blue...
what has been happening is if i leave the phone alone for some time (usually 20+), it just disconnects from the data services... all my signal meter and H+ meter turns grey... when i "wake" the device it takes a couple seconds to kick back to blue... when this is going on i go into my gtalk and i see it had signed me out and that its trying to sign me back in.... same thing with alot of other apps, like my issimo app, its been sign out, or hasnt received any new updates since it turned "grey".
how do i stop this? is this a bug? something wrong with the OS? will i have to reflash?
any thoughts on this would be appreciated!
thanks!
UPDATE:
had battery save mode on nighttime, so i thought that was the issue... so i changed it to performance and doing that had no effect at all... still losing data after a while of it being locked...
any ideas? could this maybe be some residual affects from a battery saver app i add?
i really would not like to reload the OS...
anyone got any ideas?
i'm finding any solution for the same problem, some atrix lose data signal, motorola says that is a software problem but i dont find a fix for that yet, any idea?
It's a software issue on Motorola's end. I'm having the same problem. I haven't flashed a custom ROM yet, but my friend had the same problem and he said when he flashed Gingerblur it was fixed.
when i seemed to notice it was when i had upgraded to gingerbread... so what i simply did was deleted my APN, rebooted and entered in the APN again, and that seemed to have solved it
@OP I don't use GTalk so I can't comment on that, but the signal than that you described is EXACTLY what my SGS does running on stock Froyo rooted.
I don't know if its more battery saving or what, but I tend to miss more calls in weaker signal areas when my phone has been on idle for a while.
I too am looking for a fix because of that. Also my Atrix sometimes acts the same way on Froyo, but I haven't used my Atrix in a while...

Yes I found this to be true as well. The new radio (1.77.36) dropped signal for me often and the speeds were lower than with 1.77.30

why not upgrade your radios to the latest AT&T has to offer? 1.97.00 see if that helps?
im having the same issue
anyone knows why this is happening? i have cyanogemod 7, i reflashed the phone, and when it started i restored but the problem just keep going
I have a very similar problem. When the H+ is lit up blue I have a network connection. But it will switch to grey then internet ect stops working ..still have signal (4 bars) any ideas why it keeps switching?
I've had the same issue ever since I first got my atrix. I've tried many different roms and it does it with every one. Ill have great signal n my browser will direct my to a no data connection page. I have to reboot or turn airplane mode off n on to get it going again. I have like a month left on my warranty gonna try n swap it out n see if a different one will fix the problem
Hi Guys,
i come from the Moto Stock Rom and have flashed Neutrino 2.6EE few days ago.
Now i've got a little issue with the Wifi Connection.
When I unlock the phone and a known wifi (home and work) is in reach, it takes about one minute until the connection is established.
With the stock rom ist takes only a couple of seconds.
When i go into the wifi settings while waiting, the connection will be established immediately.
Does anyone know a solution?
European Atrix
Wifi-Standby: off when display is off
Rom: Neutrino 2.6EE
Baseband: N_01.100.00R
I also have this issue with every CM7 ROM. I believe it is a bug present in all CM7 based ROM. Flashing a new radio or reflashing your old one may fix this issue, but I haven't tried it because I cannot find a working link to the N_01.77.30p radio for a backup in case of failure in the flashing of a more recent one. If anyone could provide a CWM flashable N_01.77.30p radio I could begin testing to fix this problem.

Me too, I used to experience the same problem with older versions of the Neutrino ROM but this new version is working flawlessly. Only one thing, when the screen is off for about 15-20minutes the wifi connection is lost so I keep a wifi settings icon handy on the desktop, but I noticed this issue on the CM7 roms too so it should be a bug there. On CM9 roms the wifi stays on during the whole time maybe try a cm9 rom?
Some reason when I click the download link nothing happens, if you could directly link the file that would be great.

This has been discussed many times.
This is either a hardware fault or a CM7 bug. Therefore, I cannot fix it as Neutrino builds are based on CM7, and obviously, if it is a hardware issue, then there's nothing I can do at all.
For now, just pray that CM7 magically fixes it.
I am sorry, I mean no offense to your development, and since my previous post is incorrect or misinformed I am very sorry, and I will change my previous post to reflect this new information. Neutrino is an awesome ROM by the way.

I will try a CM9 ROM to see if that fixes the issue. But I will not be able to flash for awhile since I am on a business trip. If someone else could try it out and report findings that would be great.

I'm on Jokerz version 0.3ish and turning on wifi gives me an error report followed by random reboots. The problem did not originate with this ROM and I've flashed a handful of different ROMs with no fix.
I got smoked by Windows just for the free phone so I can sell it.

So we have all this hardware problem?
Because I have the same issue with my Stock Rom 2.3.4.
What is your advice?Bring it to Motorola Support or wait in this "magical fix"?
This is most likely a hardware issue.

With the original rom version (45.31.1.MB860.NonEFIGSRetail.en.EU) that was on my phone, the Wifi connection was established much faster.
The second thing is, when I went into the wifi settings while waiting, the connection will be established immediately. It turns from searching to getting ip and then connected.
So I can't believe that this is a hardware problem. I think the phone is waiting for something before the connection will be made or so.
I've serarched a bit an found that:

When your device is connected to Wi-Fi, then it will consume less battery as it needs less 'juice' to receive data from a Wi-Fi network than a cellular network.
However, if you are on 3G, but have Wi-Fi enabled, then your phone will consume more battery than with Wi-Fi disabled as the phone frequently scans for Wi-Fi networks. The scan time is configurable and stock ROM and CM7 scan every 30 seconds, whereas Neutrino ROM scans every 2 minutes. This means that Neutrino will have slightly better battery with Wi-Fi always enabled as it scans 4x less than normal.
To configure the scan time, you'll have to edit the build.prop.

I measured it again, how much time passes before the connection is available.
It takes about 2 minutes and 5 seconds, until the connection is there.
I think it is related to the scan-intervall.
Can you change the setting, that the phone will scan for wifi when it will be unlocked?
Hey guys, lately my wi-fi connection has been very slippery, as if it drops and then reconnects often, although it remains physically connected to my router. I don't know if it could be my router since every other device in my home is connecting to it fine. My phone is able to connect well to networks outside of my home, though, so I am unsure. Do you guys think it's the routers fault or maybe a kernel issue of some sort (I'm running stock kernel)? I've been having this issue on Tranquility and Viper ROM (maybe also on Mean) so it can't be A ROM issue. Any help would be appreciated. Thanks!
sounds like u have a gaf phone man.. if every other phone in ya house connects fine.. its not the stock kernel.. also the update we just had the OTA was supposed to fix wifi issues.. so u mite have something up with your phone.. alot of people had wifi issues that why they had a fix in the for it in the OTA we just got... my phone did the same ishh before the OTA now its fine..
I drop 3G like It's cool but that's sprints problem, never had that issue on WiFi. This phone has very powerful radios.

Check your wifi settings and make sure that your wifi connection is set to never sleep. Also Check your wifi frequency band in "wifi advance settings" and make sure its set to 2.4 only. That might help.

There's an app in the Market called WiFi analyzer. U can use it to see what other wireless networks are operating in your area. It will also reccomend the best channel for your router to be on.
Sometimes there is a lot of interference on your channel and switching it will help or has helped quite a few people with your problem that I know of.
I had a problem at work with a linksys router not issuing an ip address to my phone consistently. What I did is take a screenshot of my ip address, subnet mask, DNS address defaults, etc. when u could connect. Then I made myself a static ip using that info. A good app that basically let's u run ipconfig and other network troubleshooting applications is an app called Fing.
I've worked on this issue far and wide. If the new ota didn't help and u still get random disconnects thru WiFi then u need to exchange your phone. It is actually a problem with the radio. My first EVO LTE did it and I could fix WiFi disconnects temporarily, but not permanently. This, my 3rd EVO LTE works great with no ota installed.
Good luck. Hope I was of some help. Pm me if u need more help.

For me, I was on a different channel than my neighbors with no other wireless device ever had a problem in the 12 years I've been there.
What I do, Go into wifi advanced and click on the high-performance setting.
Only use it when needed as it burns battery.
Post back if it fixes the drop issue for you. Fixed it for me.

Last night I flashed the awesome kernel and set the frequency to 2.4 seemed to go away. Today I flashed tranquility rls 1.a and I'm running it as is and having the issue again . I'll try out your suggestion throughout today and tomorrow, thanks for the tips guys!

I've been hearing about people talking about the wifi issues since day one, but never actually run into them. The past few days though I've been trying to stream and download things (exporting through dropbox) over wifi, and OMG, what the hell is this? Every 2 or three minutes the connection just stops - the wifi bars at the top still show the wifi connected, but the the stream or download just stops. Sometimes it starts up again, sometimes I have to disconnect from the wifi and reconnect. And the whole time the wifi indicator doesn't indicate any loss of signal - once in a blue moon though you'll see it disconnect then reconnect. I don't want to hit that high-performance setting (although it seemed to help the in the limited time I used it), because it uses more battery. I thought the update was supposed to resolve these issues. I know I never had these issues before the update. None of the tricks mentioned in this thread seemed to help. Just wanted to report the issue in case some other people are having it also, and hoping an update will come out in the near future to resolve it. On Viper4G, btw. If have time at some point, I'll try to flash another rom to see if I get the same issue.

It's kind of strange,mine has been dropping but the actual indicator in the status bar goes off when it does.I've seen it connect and disconnect 10-12 times per minute.I'm also running latest firmware/radios on the latest version of ViperRom.I'm also running Enoch's Kernel but not sure if I had the problem before the kernel flash or not.
im having the same issue. ive only really started noticing it because i was running chameleon pretty much since i got the phone and this never seemed to be an issue. now im on viper4g and my wifi will drop sporadically. it drops, i see the 3g icon for about half a second, and the the wifi reconnects. sometimes itll do it just once, sometimes itll do it continuously... the longest ive let it go before interfering is about 30 seconds. but my battery usage screen tells me that it goes on for way longer than that if left alone.
anyway, im on the lastest firmware, and i have the channel set to 2.4 (5 seems to knock everything in my apt, including my phone, off the router). i use the best wifi performance option sometimes, but as has been mentioned, it drains the battery. the phone wont sleep with that option checked. also, it seems to happen more frequently when im on the opposite side of my apt from the router.
ive read stuff about using a screwdriver to pull the antenna pins up a little, but that scares me. i dont really think that has anything to do with it anyway as ive tried that test where you squeeze the phone to see if your signal changes. it doesnt.
really, im kinda at a loss here. im thinking that i might try to exchange the phone if i cant get this figured out soon, but i dont want to do that if its something with my router or if the replacement is going to do the same thing.
I am using Viper 4G and have been having issues with my wifi connection dropping but more recently my phone has been restarting only while connected to Wifi. I haven't tried changing the wifi Frequency band to only 2.4GHz , but I will once I get home after work. I hope it works because its getting kinda annoying to have my phone restart so much while its just sitting idle.
I believe the rapid connect/disconnect issue some of us are having is also related to the phone not playing nice with particular routers. HTC referenced that fact when the 1.22 OTA came out. The changelog said the issue was fixed on how the phone communicated with certain routers and the disconnects should be eliminated. I can attest that the new update has made it a little better, but still not 100%.
The router at my work has been perfect, I've never disconnected from it once.
The router at my house is a whole different story. I have given up on downloading a ROM with my phone, directly to my phone. I will start the DL, sit the phone down and go do something, only to come back and find "download unsuccessful" every single time. I know it is because it is disconnecting. I can sit there and watch it happen.
The router at my friend's house is fine. Connect once, and never worry again the rest of the night. Obviously I need a new router. More obviously, HTC's software needs fixing. I shouldn't have to buy a new router just so one of my devices can stay connected to it.
Interesting seeing all these reports of dropped connnections with Viper4G. I've been running it for a few weeks and have never had a connection drop while it was in use on either the 2.4ghz or 5ghz bands of my d-link router. This thread over here suggests that replacing your Sense Settings.apk with an AOSP Settings.apk solves the problem for some people. I can't verify since I wasn't experiencing disconnects, but the AOSP menus are cool anyway
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1824465
My issues (detailed above) have apparently resolved themselves. I haven't lost connection once today, and I was streaming and downloading all day.
I don't see how this actually did anything but here's what I did. I decided to try another kernel instead of the stock one that comes in the viper rom. I knew the wifi fixes that HTC supposedly made were in the new kernel, and I knew I wasn't having any issues until I updated, so I thought I'd give a custom kernel (based off the old base) a shot, and play around with some new governors and overclocking while I'm at it. I did a nand backup and flashed awesome sauce. Wifi issues were gone, but I didn't like the kernel, stock seemed smoother. So i restored my backup, and for whatever reason, my wifi issues remained gone. Like I said, I can't explain it, but there you go.
Nice to know I'm not alone with this. My Wifi drops every so often, particularly at night time or with downloads. Hopefully HTC figured out a way to sort this out 100%.

If you have a wireless router like myself that operates at two distinct bands, go into your Wi-Fi settings and choose the band that is at the higher range, and setting best performance is also a good idea, although this might result in greater battery drain. HTH!

Hello all!
I have been getting very low wi-fi signal on my nook since I upgraded from stock to CM10. I know its not the router , as it was doing fine with every other device on my network.
I'm on CM10, have tried the three major roms out there for CM10 ( PURE, sgt7+cherry picks, codefireX) just to see if it was rom side.
I'm just wondering what are my options here ? I can't walk outside my room without dropping the already weak signal .
I not having the same problem from crossfireX or earlier builds of PURE, sgt7+cherry picks. Make sure you wipe dalvik and factory reset wipe before you flash a rom. Try a router firmware update then start test by setting up g band only then setup n band on router if successful.

I have wiped dalvik and factory reset with all the roms I have flashed, and nothing is changing. Also, I have the default Verizon FIOS router(checked, firmware is up-to-date) and its on b/g mixed mode. I don't believe it can do wireless-N.
Let make sure it not the rom in question for you. Can you connect to like a friends, neighbor or a nearby hot spot which could simulate the same problem? If you connect with high bar within proximity to the router, then you know its not the rom. Do a speedtest.net or use the app on your device to test if your getting at least 12 Mbps. If you are getting higher rate then I would just ignore the bar.
Well looky that, I'm a Senior Member today, I guess I can get my discount at Ihop now.
Other ways of using a Intel laptop as a router is to have Intel My Wifi Utility to enable a hotspot function or ad hoc network test for your nt. Just a thought.

I have a spare linksys router I tested. Almost identical results were found. Should I re-flash stock and start from the beginning ? I mean, I can't take more then ten steps to my bathroom without dropping the signal.
I also did a speed-test.net , and got 12m/bs down and 4m/bs up. but that doesnt mean anything unless I'm inside my room.
Sounds like a good idea. Try this before the reflash. On the nook, how many access point do you see with 5 bars, if there is more than one then it's causing interference. Try setting a WPS pin in your router and in CM 10 describe in the "WPS Pin Entry" on your nook in wifi>touch the 3 dot in vertical alignment.

It was working fine for the passed 2 months, now it can't pickup any signals unless it sits a foot or so from the router. This sucks. Its basically rendering the tablet useless.
And so far what I have done:
Updated rom, wiped & reflashed, flashed new rom, nandroid back to updated rom. Only thing I haven't done is try a new kernel ( didn't think it would make a difference)
Fully checked router, all other devices on WiFi(5) are working fine in other rooms with 2+ bars.
Is there a way to check the input/output signal strength of the NT? Modifying this? It's starting to seem like a Hardware issue.
In the Google Play Store there's an app called "WiFi Analyzer" by FARPROC. Use that to check your signal strength on the router.
Bump, still having this issue, I was hoping by now there would be a solution. I'm just coming back to the tablet after many frustrating nights... To try and get it to work again.
Please this has got to be more common.. It used to work grrreat! My router is fine, my GNex has full bars, the Nook has 1 or 0 bars.
I just reflashed a new rom, updated kernal, same results. Is there a modem I need to flash or something?
What happens if you go back to stock using http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1470910? Do you still get a weak signal then?
