I know that there are problems with Exchange and such, but everything was working fine on my phone up until about 2 weeks ago. I have been running CM7 for quite some time and always left wifi on to connect at work and home. Never had any issues connecting to my Exchange account. Then I started to notice some connection issues with e-mails not coming in, etc. It was very random it seemed, sometimes on wifi, sometimes on 3G. So this weekend I decided to try installing CM7.2 and CM9 and maybe it would resolve my issues. Now I can get my phone to connect over 3G, but if I turn on wifi it will not connect, even after I turn wifi back off, until I reboot the phone. Not sure how to fix this problem, I enjoy using wifi quite a bit and it obviously keeps my data usage lower. Any ideas on how I can fix this? Currently running the latest CM9 beta.
Did you flash any kernel? Anyways try updating now the kernels are fixed today.

Hey guys, newbie user and android owner.
I picked up the vibrant the other day. So far its rooted, android-wifi-tether, and i performed the gps fix on it.
I really like the phone, but whenever I connect to my wifi router, it stops all data (android market, web browser, etc) It says connected and doesn't show any signs of problems. Am I doing something wrong?
Thanks for any help you can throw my way.
Hmm. Mine has problems with "No Connection" when it's connected to my wireless at home, but I just figured it was my router's fault since my computer gives me the "unable to load web page" thing all the time too. My router sucks, though. Maybe your does too?
Yeah, mine does it sometimes too. I just turn on airplane mode, and turn it back off...works fine after that. Its a hit or miss issue.
Mine works fine running off if my router. Btw, do you actually have the wi-fi tether working? Because I thought we needed a working kernal for that to work.

Yup that did it for me. All I had to do was turn on airplane mode and then turn it back off. Wifi working for me now. Thanks.

Please tell us how you got wifi tethering to work without a custom kernel.

you know, i have a similar issue, where im connected to my router but i dont get internet and 3g goes away the moment i connect to wifi... airplane mode didnt help tho... its interesting really..
ive tried other routers and my phone can get wifi w/internet from them
i did factory reset on my phone 3 times trying to figure this out; 2 of the three times i got wifi to work w/internet until i disconnected and connected again. then i just got the same problem all over again
I have always had an issue with the wifi on my N1 when trying to connect to my router at home. Getting a connection use to be hit or miss, I would often try connecting over and over again with no success. Even when I did connect it would drop out as soon as the phone when into standby.
Well to my surprised after downloading/installing GB I went to attempt to get on wifi and it connected right away. I was shocked to say the least. I turned it off and tried it again and it connected again. Then I put the phone in stand by and it still stayed connected. Then I had to run to the store and left wifi on, when I got back to my apartment it connected again, no issues. This is completely awesome!
Froyo 2.2.1 fixed my major wifi issue (wifi going dead while the phone was asleep), but not the smaller issue where my connections would randomly disable themselves occasionally. I haven't seen that happen since Gingerbread though, so that's a good sign so far.
My only remaining issue with wifi is that the DNS cache still doesn't get flushed when switching to/from wifi to/from 3G/EDGE. This causes me frustration with our Exchange server which has a different IP on our LAN than it does on the public internet...
Congrats. I used to have problems, but I got a new router and it has been fine since. I used to get the "disabled" once in a while, but then I started using Auto Wifi Toggle, and never had another problem.
I know how you feel, it's nice when things work.
I've found these wifi connection issues to be Mostly Harmless

Really?! How come the same issue wasn't solved for me until gingerbread?
Now wifi is working just perfect Connects fast, sleeps when it should and transfers are awesome and rock solid
I had an issue with my home router and N1 where the N1 would connect, but after a bit of idle time, lose connection. It would re-try connecting only when I turned the screen back on and waited a good 10sec.
I was on 2.2, then 2.2.1, then 2.2.2
Now with 2.3.3 ...... my WIFI stays connected at home and at work... no hiccups at all.

I had exactly the same issue with my N1. Oddly, it got worse when I upgraded to a newer router (New D-Link with -n, compared to a 6yo Netgear with -g only) No idea why, but it did.
I finally got the OTA last night for Gingerbread and only now does it automatically connect and stay connected to WiFi like it should have.
My N1 is plain vanilla - no mods. For the 6+ months I've had the phone, it would constantly lose connection. I'd hit the WiFi button on the Power widget to turn off and on just to force it to reconnect to WiFi. 5 minutes later, I'd check my phone... back on 3G. I knew it was the phone, because I have plenty of other portable WiFi gadgets that stay connected just fine.
Whatever it is, I'm glad they fixed it.
My unrooted Xoom does not want to keep connected to my wifi signal since the upgrade. I did not have this problem before, but now if I set the Xoom down for a minute or so, the screen on or not, and pick it back up it is no longer connected. Sometimes I find I am without a signal when clicking on a link just after entering a web site while actively surfing. I have the wifi disconnect policy set "Never." Is anyone else experiencing more problems since the upgrade?
No issues for me so far.
None here

The only wifi problem I have is the kernel wifi driver memory leak mentioned elsewhere. My xoom will eventually reboot itself if left on wifi overnight.

This really sounds like the WiFi driver leak problem as mentioned before. Your symptoms are exactly what I was experiencing, pre upgrade.
The workaround is to not set the disconnect policy to "Never". Since I have turned that off, I have not seen the problem.
Nope... no problem here... tried to restart?

Sorry, no problems here with wifi.

No problems here either.
Thanks everyone for all the input.
I must have missed the discussion on the wifi driver leak problem but will do a search on it. If you don't use the "never" setting, which one do you use? It looks like a compromise with the other two settings as I like to have the email and the internet ready and waiting when I turn the Xoom on.
To another suggestion, I have tried rebooting several times.
After further use, it now appears to be an intermittent problem as on occasion today it has not been dropping out.
Im also having this problem since the OTA with my Wireless tether connection.
The tiamat kernel fixes the wifi issues. Check it out in the dev section
i am running stock xoom non rooted. I too am seing issues occasionally with wifi. I have noticed the signal has become lower since the upgrade. My connection used to he good and now ranks as fair. I have restarted bit he the access point and the xoom no change
Here's my problem, and I've seen many problems with wifi here and on other forums but nothing exactly like this.
When I'm at work, my phone connects to the network over there without any problem but, every time I come home, it simply shows my network as "Not in range", even at 2 feet away from the router (WPA PSK security). I've tried turning wifi off and on, resetting my router, "forgetting" my network on the phone. Nothing does the trick unless, I restart my phone and then it connects automatically and stays connected until I leave.
Something strange I noticed tonight; I went to my son's hockey game and, at the arena, I noticed it still showed as connected to my home network!?!?!!?
I started noticing this issue a few days ago, after flashing the 4.2.2 image from Google. My phone is rooted and is running the latest clockworkmod recovery but otherwise, still stock.
Something else I just noticed; my Nexus 7 doesn't have the same issue...
Anybody else having the same issue? Any hints on what's going on?
I also have this issue. But I had the problem before 4.2.2

Got to work this morning... wouldn't connect to the network here because... It was still connected at home, 40km away. That's a powerful router!
Any clues as to what might be the cause?
What brand/type of wireless router are you using? What type of security?
We gotta be more than 2 with this problem... I've seen so many issues with wifi with this phone on other threads... Weird
Last night I went to my parents and again, my phone wouldn't connect to their home network so, its definitely not my router. So I made a backup of all my apps and returned to 4.2.1 and voila, wifi problems are fixed, for now...
I'm using a Galaxy S4 from USC (SCH-R970).
4.3.1
Loaded PAC-MAN nightly build dated 11/16/13
All seems to work very well and I'm quite happy with the ROM. There is one glitch I'm having which I can only assume is from the ROM. Whenever I leave my wifi connection and the phone needs to switch to data, it doesn't. It takes a reboot and then all is well. This is what happens when I leave home to go to work. I don't have a wifi connection at work. Going back home doesn't cause any problems. It happily picks up the wifi again.
Other forums have had some suggestions such as toggling wifi on/off (as in airplane mode) etc., none of which seems to work for me. I need to do a reboot to get back to enabling data connection.
Has anyone else noted this? Is this a known issue? Are there any suggestions?
Thx
I have almost the same issue, for me, I randomly lose data connection, and have to reboot to fix it. I DL an app called 3g reconnect and haven't had the problem since. I don't know a real fix but hope that helps
