So yesterday I tried to update my nook color rooted cm7 (not sure which version, but was used when nightly 177 was highest) to CM7.1.0-11162011-nightly-encore, but the thing is, my wifi would connect for maybe 5 minutes before it disconnects.
Then I would have to go to wifi settings to reconnect or sometimes it reconnects by itself. On my old version of CM7, the wifi was flawless. It would never disconnect like it does now, so I am sure it is not router problem.
Now it just says "out of range" when disconnecting. I tried the method where I forget all my networks and then connect again, but it didnt work. I also checked my adhoc = 0 thing from the root.
Anyone know why it is like that? I rooted my sd card with http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1000957 website.
since my wifi didnt work, i reformatted my sdhc card and set it up again, following the rules on the website including setting up wifi before installing gapps. Wifi still disconnects.
I have also tried using the update-cm-7.1.0-encore signed, which still doesnt solve the wifi problem.
Is this because the wifi goes into sleep mode even if the screen is on? Im pretty much on the wifi setting screen, and seeing the wifi go from connected -> disconnected -> scanning "loop". My wifi is set to sleep when screen is off, but it should still stay connected if my screen is on right? It just disconnects and reconnects constantly while I look at the wifi settings
Thank you for reading! please help..
Same issue. Wifi keeps disconnecting after about 5 minutes.
Have you tried deleting all of your old wifi spots?
Ok I fixed my problem by limiting my router to 802.11 g. Suddenly no more drops.
Yea I did the "forget" all wifi networks and it still disconnects.
Would it still be my router problem if the wifi stayed connected on my earlier version? The one before I upgraded to cm7.1.0.
Hmm. I had that issue until going into advanced wifi settings and changing the Wi-Fi sleep policy to never. Will keep monitoring.
Where did you find the advanced wi-fi settings? I go to Settings -> Wireless & networks -> Wi-Fi- Settings, but my choices are: turn on Wi-Fi, Network notification, and add Wi-Fi Network.
Also, I'm using [CM7.2-RC0] MiRaGe - KANG build of CyanogenMod...I don't know if that would make a difference?
I assume you already figured out since you posted on the other thread.

I have a problem with my Nook Color's Wifi.
I received my refurbished Nook on Monday, and installed cm7 that night. I've got it overclocked at 1.2ghz and running smoothly for the last 3 days without any hangups or any other signs of problems.
The wifi was working great until this morning. Now, when I turn my WiFi on, it hangs on the Connecting... notice under Wi-Fi, and it eventually goes to Disconnected, and none of the nearby networks show up. The message then continually cycles between Connecting and Disconnected.
I was wondering if this was a fixable problem? Or if this is a damaged hardware issue.
I've taken a (bad) cell phone picture of the WiFi screen where it shows both the Connecting... message and Disconnected one. The top network "Commodore" should be active, and both my laptop and phone are connecting to it just fine right now. I've attempted rebooting and turning the device off for 15 minutes.
I'm really hoping I don't have to return and exchange, because I really like the Nook Color, but without WiFi I just simply can't use it.
1. activate wifi
2. go to wifi scanning
3. remove one secured SSID
4. add a secured SSID: generally your own one.
It disable airplane mode and everything is back online.

This fixed mine too... weird
Anyone know why this does this? how can it permanently be fixed? CM7.2 ?
I just updated to Android 4.4 on my Nexus 4 yesterday. I have been having problem with the WIFI. Sometimes, the wifi won't turn on unless I reboot the phone. I wonder what might be wrong with it. thanks
Getting exactly the same thing. Battery widget reborn turns off my WiFi at sleep hours so I turn on my screen in the morning to sometimes find WiFi will not turn on. It's permanently stuck on "turning on WiFi..." in the WiFi settings page.
Clean factory image install too.

How old is your router and is it 2.4Ghz or 5Ghtz? Go to Wifi and select the settings (3 dots) and then choose either 2.4Ghz or 5Ghz, don't leave it at auto. I had similar problem and solved it by selected the frequency that my router supports at 2.4GHz

My router is 2.4GHz but didn't think it mattered? The WiFi module on the phone won't start sometimes since flashing 4.4, and therefore doesn't see the 8 or so WiFi networks around me.
Same with me infact bluetooth also reacts same way
my phone suddenly hangs when using wifi and reboots after reboot i am not able to switch wifi or bluetooth on, no matter how many times i reboot . i even downgraded to jellybean to see if the issue is still there, my badluck the issue is persistent i wonder what kitkat did to my phone.
This started Feb 3rd or 4th. The phone will connect to the wifi network, with a good signal. It will then re-scan every 5 seconds or so. This is causing all sorts of data transfer issues from downloads freezing to apps losing connectivity while running.
I am running on Verizon.

I am now running Android 5.0 but had NOT updated to 5.0 when this problem started.
I scoured google a bit and found an ATT forum that is essentially reporting what I am.
forums.att.com/t5/Samsung-Discussion-Support/Samsung-Galaxy-S5-Wi-Fi-Connectivity-Problems-After-4-4-4-Update/td-p/4190704
All other devices on the network are operating without issue - phones and computers - as was mine until now.
I have power cycled everything.
I have checked the routers settings.
The phone has been power cycled several times.
The phone has had every wifi setting that would be causing this scanning, that I know, disabled.
The following are off in Wifi > Advanced:
Wifi notifications
Passpoint
Always allow scanning
Smart network switch
I then, after the above, updated to Android 5.0. The issue still persists. Help me please.
My device does this, too. Cant say I have ever really noticed, I dont know if it has always done this or not.
I am not experiencing any issues like you describe.
Now that I think about it, I think it will always scan at a set interval when you enter the Wifi settings. It assumes you are looking for a network to connect to. I doubt its scanning when you are not in that setting.
I had this problem the other day. I went to wifi settings and had it forget the network and then rebooted and reconnected to my wifi network and it seems to have resolved the issue. others have just switched airplane mode on and off and this fixed it. good luck
Hi,
I have a problem that my WiFi network disconnects and disappear from the list. Even if I search for network it will not show up.
It looks like a lot of the other WiFi networks around me is also missing when this is happening.
It will suddenly come back again and work as it should for several hours.
I have i locked to 2,4GHz, WiFi always on, scanning is on.
Had the same problem when I used Auto 2,4GHz/5GHz.
All other devices is working as they should. Have also reset the wireless router. (Netgear X4 R7500)
I have the same problem. When I turn the wifi off, and the back on again it discovers my router and connects.
Does anybody have a fix for this?
Same problem here. My 2,4ghz network sometimes just vanishes and shows up after a couple of minutes. And it just won't connect at all with my 5ghz network. My router is a D-link dir 868l. I'm on the latest firmware. My other devices all connect just fine, except for my 6p.
Updated to 6.0.1 and I have still problems. When I come back home, I need to turn off and on WiFi to reconnect. Wifi have not dropped since i updated to 6.0.1 yesterday.
Just curious
Who is your service provider? My girls 5x is connected to Sprint and she has no problems on my network. I have Tmobile on my 6p and it keeps dropping the wifi. Maybe its a Tmobile thing?
reset network config
I had the same problem and try to go to airplane mode on and off then even forget network and add back on. Work for a second and disconnected. So far this way work. Try this.
Got to Setting > Backup & reset > Network Settings reset
Hopefully this will work for you guys too.
Good luck! :good:
My brother has a Nexus 6p and the WiFi doesn't switch on at all after he updated to 6.0.1. I reflashed factory image of 6.0.1 again and it didn't work. I then flashed 6.0 but it still doesn't switch on. Any help?
bump
Anyone have a solution to this problem? I still have this big active, and have been using mobile data since.
Lately I've been having serious trouble connecting to Wifi networks. This occurs both on my workplace network and home network. I have tried resetting my Network Config, but this didn't fix anything. The only thing I've found that will allow me to connect to Wifi is to restart the device - but I have to do this every time I want to connect to a different Wifi network than I was connected to previously.
One strange thing that happens with this is that when I disable Wifi - whether it be via quick settings or in settings - it doesn't actually disable Wifi. The toggle switches to off, but I'm still able to see nearby Wifi networks. The only way to fully disable Wifi is to enable Airplane Mode.
This has been happening recently since I performed a Factory Reset, flashed the latest factory image, and rooted.
Anyway, any help with this would be greatly appreciated!
UPDATE: Looks like switching from Automatic Wi-F- frequency band to 2.4 GHz fixes the issue, but that's not really ideal, as I prefer my 5 GHz network at home.
