[Q] Yet Another wifi ICS issue - Galaxy Note GT-N7000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Hey peeps, ti me for my first post.
Well i upgraded tO stock germanICS a couple of days back. Everything was working fine until yesterday. WiFi is behaving weird, i can connect with no probs at home but i've noticed that the download arrow from the WiFi icon on status bar is on and off all the time, draining the battery faster than expected(e.g. rom 100% to 65% 3 hours almost no use). So i spoke with a friend of mine, kind of a geek, he told me it could be so me kind of compatibility issue between ICS and old router's firmware. So i went to a bar nearby to check if i could reproduce the same behaviour and everything was working normal.
Did Anyone here had anything similar? I've been surfing to do so me research, but all i've found is so me peoples probs with WiFi not connecting at all and some sII users withe their WiFi module broken.
Thanks in advance!

Also...
I´ve read somewhere that a factory wipe solved some wifi´s peoples probs. As i´m under german ICS LPY i know i´ll be likely bricking the note if i wipe, what leads to teh next question...is it possible to flash a kernell(without the bug) without being root?
Cheers,
VR
edit
So i´ve been reading quite some info about franco´s and speedmod´s kernels, and it´s so confusing for starters.My last question remains , is it possible to flash those for a non rooted device? Anyone that is running it tried wiping? Results?
Thx again
Edit 2
After some research i now know i need to root for any new kernel flash, as i read my post i´m starting to feel i´ve lost my head somewhere, so bear with me, hehehe. Also found out some people tried wiping with franco´s kernel with no probs, so i almost have the info i was looking for. So, in case i go root and get franco´s kernel up and running, do you think my WIFI issues might dissapear after wiping?

I have the same bug...with wifi also the os android buy draining ny battery so bad...im on stick rom gb 2.3.6 with the ssme oroblem....any solution?

[Q] wifi error after new kernel

I have a v20l and i flashed the hp kernel but now wifi gives an error
I flashed the hp for v20l from spica1234's thread

Reboot after attempting to turn on wifi it should work flawless then. I had this from time to time also with other kernels.

I tried that but didnt work, any other suggestions?
what kernel do you use? RC9 or SR2? in my exprience SR2 gave me wifi error ater 1 day hours of usage. and juice defender is also make it problems with HP kernel
right now i'm using RC9 and already 1 day 6 hours and still no error on wifi yet will let you know the progress. and i set the wilress sleep policy when screen turns off
I was using rc 9,
But now the problem is solved, first i flashed performance pack 7 and then rc 9 again and it helped.
But still dont no what was causing the problem

ow, so you have already flashed the RC9 kernel. maybe because the wifi module still use v10e on sr2, in RC9 used v20L sources
but in rc9 tun.ko can't smooth working like in sr2
Hi
I see a lot of people complaining about wifi problems
Even thought it was a faulty device, but it does not look that way
How to really fix the issue ?
Its not a cheap / low end device to just keep rebooting everytime as a workaround
For ex, i put the phone in airplane mode, just to check, then turn off airplane
and wifi dies...
Or if i disable wifi, and try to enable again, same problems
Here i use a tplink WR1043ND, has good signal, and i use with b/g/n - WPA-PSK/WPA2-PSK with AES sec key.
If i change to another encryption, its gonna work better ?
I bought this device last week, and if i cant use wifi security and have problems like that, i will be forced to return to the seller
tks

nah, in here we discuss about the HP kernel not stock kernel. in stock kernel the wifi module will be okay and it support both wpa-psk or wpa2-psk
Hi
Ok, so i guess its a problem with the device
Anyway tomorrow i will return it to the seller and get another one
tks !

ow, so you are on in stock right now if i'm right. yeah you should return to the seller. or maybe you want to flash with CM7.1
Hi, will install CM (already had on my defy, but the device broken)
The problem is that the lg2x lost the touch, so gonna grab a new one, dunno if it was a hardware problem or just a problem with the flash
tks

XXKQ7 WiFi Problems

Ok since nobody will notice this problem on i9001 general topic on i9000 category, i will make a new thread here.
How do fix this problem ? after a long sleep, like 1-2 hours, wifi will automatically drop and 3g won't properly connect.
Also, Google Plus app can't be deodexed or installed either, so it gives crashes.
How do we fix these ?
Here use the xxkp4 modem http://dl.dropbox.com/u/63588663/SMD_MODEM_I9001XXKP4_CL374422_REV00_user_low_ship_EMMC.rar
Somebody with kq7 please try them and tell us if it's working.
But couldn't we have the modem from xxkq1 ? i am on kq1, just tell me what files to extract and i will make an archive.
I need these files in the "normal" version too (not at .smb format). Can anyone help?
i don't seem to be having the wifi issue... is there any other way i can test to see if i get the issue just to see if there is an isolated reason for the wifi drop...
Edit: just so you know it is XXKQ7 and i did factory data reset from privacy menu in settings after initial boot... and i haven't changed any wifi settings, it's not rooted either (kept it unrooted to test this wifi issue)...
check this thread guys maybe will help you a bit abt wifi probs ...
Nah, it didn't help me.
Tbh, i'll wait for Samsung official Value Pack ROM for us, since KQ1, KQ6 and KQ7 are beta.

[SOLVED] WIFI very slow - unstable

10 days or so ago i installed paranoid android 0.5 and followed the instructions by the letter.
all was well except for the camera bug which i knew about...
then yesterday i started noticing internet connectivity issues as well as speed issues.
it seems that (running speedtest.net) i have no upload speed, and my download speed is also very unstabe (5000kbps one moment, 100kbps the next) and my signal icon also shows i do not have full reception while i allways did have full reception where i am currently sitting (about 2m from the router)
i have checked the other wireless devices to see whether it was a router issue but none of the other devices show any change in reception nor speed.
i'm about to do a clean install of GB, see what that does .. but i thought i should allready pose the question here in case there won't be any change .. perhaps anyone else who has the same issues ..
UPDATE: installed GB and no real succes. speedtest showed improved download speed (14000kbps) but still nearly no upload (31kbps)
i'm open to everyone's ideas.. just hope i haven't broken my SGN ..
going for yet another rom .. gonna try one of the more stable ICS roms...
i'll keep you guys updated.
OK update2 ...
just went and got myself another router just to be sure and it seems that it IS a router problem .. grrrr
let's continue the search ...:s too bad i wiped my rom for this ..
lol, change rom and or kernel, or modem, cause you didnt have it before it is likely its not router issue.
Or try newer versions of rom. Cm9 the base for paranoid and had wifi partially broken in some versions. if the paranoid used a cm9 with that issue, you have your cause.

seems it WAS the router ... changed channel, rebooted router, and all is well again ...
it's indeed strange that it happened out of the blue, but i guess that's technology for ya ..
it pushed me to install PA JB 1.3 (which i otherwise would have left to mature) but i am never going back to anything else now .. !
works perfectly for what i use it for (also as daily driver ..)
all's well that ends well
true, technology is weird indeed that way

Wi-Fi dropping constantly

Hi Everyone,
As title says, a few weeks ago I noticed that my wifi keeps dropping no matter what I do.. this being as i surf and not in sleep mode or anything like that.
How did it start?
when it happened this is what i did, went to GB rooted rom, flashed up to JB room paranoid android, all worked fine except i noticed wifi kept dropping, tried another jb rom ,same thing, tried ics kingdroid rom, same thing. So then I decided to go back to original official stuff GB, same thing.. wifi dropping, went to official ICS, still wifi keep dropping.
What I have done to try to fix it:
Tried different roms, networks, all settings in Wifi settings. Googled like 3 days straight, mostly this seems to be a galaxy s3 problem not a galaxy note problem. A few people said they solved it by giving it a static ip which wouldnt work for me as im on like 3 different networks, and by changing sleep settings to make sure it doesnt shut off during sleep mode, which i honeslty have no problem with. Someone solved it by switching rom, nothing i find applies to me..
So what do I do??
I would honestly appriciate any suggestion, this is a great community so I got high hopes Sorry if my question has been answered before but I dont belive so, i posted in noob thread any noone had suggestion so I hope I dont do anything wrong with this post.. cheers :victory:

The operation of Wi-Fi is a core responsibility. Try changing the kernel. Modem is responsible for the connection to GSM. If you change the kernel does not help, you probably have a broken phone.

well i have weak wi fi signal.. Most of the modems don't work for me.. Ddlp4 is the one i use..and no the kernel has nothing to do with wifi signal strength
Check your router and see if WPA Wireless network encryption is set to AES, if it is, change it to TKIP., see if you can connect after.
Usually it's nothing to do with the ROM, modem, kernel, android or even the phone itself, it might be your router setting that needs a change.
Know it was long since I made this thread but I wanted to report result, it was as above poster said. Rouer settings, finally found compatible ones after sooo manny roms, modems and other fixes were attempted.

Wifi Not Working On revolt or cyanogenmod 10.1

Hi All,
First post i think on this forum... I Have a HTC one and I flashed the Cynogenmod rom on it a couple of days ago. Right off boot my wifi would not access my network. it could see it and i could put in the password and it would say connecting but it would never connect. So I reinstalled the rom and still nothing the same thing... So today I got fed up with it and I put the Revolt rom on my Phone thinking that might help the wifi issue for some odd reason.. And still nothing. I don't know if i did something wrong in my flashing.. But I have flashed a lot of my phones and never lost wifi ever. I also have no idea where to post this or anything if you guys can point me in the right direction to someone that has had the same problem that would be great! Im going to post a video of what the wifi is doing in a few so you guys know what im talking about.
Thanks for the read.

I have the same problem . exact;y the same. ever since I have flashed my Galaxy Tab 2.0.7 with RC-2 cyanogenmod WIFI does not work . At times I regret flashing my perfectly fine default OS with buggy cyanogenmod .
Same here with CM10.1 (stable version). Whenever I try to connect to my wifi I get an "authentication problem." From what I can tell this is not from my end. Anyone know a fix or work-around?
Is it a 2 wire router
