Wifi broke after rooting? Kindle HD 7" - 7" Kindle Fire HD Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

After rooting an X stays on the wifi icon in the status bar. Even though it says I'm connected. So I'm kinda lost, any help would be awsome

First it isnt wrong if a X is there, is a glitch, and first see why, i rooted 2 tablets and a phone an never nothing. Do you have wi fi and the X is n the icon?

Under wifi settings it says connected. But it will not actually access the Internet. Also there is that X on the icon up top

That also happen to me on both rooted and unrooted kindle fires; try to discontent from the network and connect again, in my case i have 2 networks at home, switching between them fix that issue.

I saw this behavior too after rooting and enabling Google Play. I would see any of the following occur:
1) An 'x' on the wifi icon even though I had a wifi connection (drop down wireless menu shows connected, web browser works). I would see the 'x' shortly after restaring the KFHD.
2) No wifi icon and no connection. Reconnecting to wifi taking forever or fail authentication
I think I fixed up #2 by setting up the wireless connection profile again. #1 seems to happen whenever I wake the KFHD...after a min or so the 'x' usually goes away, but not always.
A non-issue for my KFHD so far.

I'm having the same issue with authentication failed. Turned Wifi off and tried again, no luck. Also deleted network and set it up again with no luck. Anything else I can try?

I annoyingly had the same problem, tried some of the above suggestions in the end a Kindle reboot seemed to fix it for now, try that.

[Q] Mobile Data stays on with Wifi

Anybody else experiencing this.. Wifi is on and connected but my 4G-LTE arrows are still showing and flashing as if it was transmitting and receiving.. but my Wifi is on??
I am using Launcher Pro instead of LG Home so I have access to the power widget in the Notification Bar but not the LG Home power controller.
I just installed Power Control Plus and it seems to shut off LTE and 3G when you press the 3G button and can keep it off with or without Wifi on.
I've noticed this. It doesn't bother me due to the fact that I have unlimited data. If it want for that it would bug the **** out of me.

As far as I know, on all the android phones I've had, u have to manually shut off mobile data even when connected to wifi. There are apps that include this option when making "profiles" that get triggered (tasker, CPU tuner) but otherwise I think it stays on unless manually turned off. Maybe its not using mobile data but it appears to stay "on".

On my olds droid the 3G would turn off when I got onto a wifi network. I might just be special. Lol

I have the same issue. It actually goes further, because when I manually turn off mobile data through the Settings menu the data icon still stays on. If I use a tool like Dataswitch the icon goes away, but I never had to do that with any of my other phones.
The other issue with wifi that I'm having is that if I set the Wifi sleep policy to turn off after 15 mins of inactivity it can't reconnect after it turns itself off. So when I start using the phone again it just keeps trying to obtain the IP address of the network without ever succeeding. I've tried this on multiple networks. I have to turn off wifi and then turn it back on. Anybody experience this?
These issues aren't big but they're starting to make me question the quality of the LG Revolution and I may exchange it for the Charge.

I have this issue too, and it is annoying. I'm not worried about exchanging it, because I'm sure this will be addressed in the port of CM7 that TheCubed is working on.

Do issues like these usually get fixed in a port of CM7? Do you think the issue of mobile data staying on when it should be off will get addressed as well?
Any idea when CM7 for the Revolution will be available?

i dont like this either because every other phone ive had that hides 3g 4g the wifi goes in the place of it but thats the only thing so far ive found that i dont like
2 from me,
1. Battery life is tough. I must have this phone charging whenever I am at my desk or It will be dead by 8pm. I would consider myself to be a power user. I'm coming from an Atrix 2 and would make it through the day with only charging in the car dock.
2. No true gps toggle. I use the toggle switchs all the time, all others work but GPS.
Otherwise I love the phone it's very quick and I'm loving ICS

Disable att smart wifi thing, your problem will go away.

The only problem I've had was with the screen sensitivity. It's no longer a problem. I fixed it with a Moshi Screen protector.
It's thick enough to balance out the touch screen and it covers up all the Logos on the phone.
Juice Defender can also cause wacky wifi performance issues. You can adjust the custom settings in Juice Defender to leave wifi alone.
Smart Actions hasn't caused any problems with waking up any of the radios or wifi.
Wifi works best if you disable anything that has to do with automatically connecting.
When you connect to your wireless point, just click "remember" when it asks you to save settings. That way it should connect/reconnect faster when you are within range because it's not scanning. It'll just connect.
Anyways, from a security stand point you do not want it to automatically connect to any open network. Wireless SSID can be spoofed with a name change, and connecting to open networks is asking for someone to record your activity, or even launch SSL strip to fish out information on the secure sites you visit. Packet sniffing at a Starbucks free WiFi is easier than using 'One-Click-Root.'
So just avoid open networks and disable anything to do with auto connecting. It'll speed up waking up WiFi and it'll make you much more secure.
If you still have wifi issues just toggle airplane mode on and off.

I'm occasionally bugged with Smart Actions when it forgets to turn something on/off after leaving that profile.
Another problem i'm having the that the bedside dock app keeps crashing when i connect my MAHD to my desk dock, only fix i found so far was restart phone...
bump. has no one else had their bed dock crash and not start up again? I want to know if i should start looking for an app gone astray or something otherwise x.x
No...

There's 8GB of space; how did 2 apps fill that? Go into setting>Storage and see what's really eating up your internal storage. I found that the camera by default saves pics/vids to the SDCard and I would bet that's what's killing your space. If so you can change the setting in the camera app and use the "Manage Internal Storage" to move over pics/vids that are currently on internal storage.
I've not had any wifi issues.
Having had this only 2 days, the only problem I've noticed is that there is noise when listening to music. Specifically using the standard Apple earphones and listening to Pandora. I also tried some other cheapo earphones and the same thing. I tried both earphones on my old 3g ipod and it was crystal clear. But this is really a nit-picky thing and I can only hear it on the lowest volume setting.
I get this notification asking for what keyboard input I want to use sometimes when I have the keyboard opened. I click it and it asks me what keyboard input I want to use. I have never installed any other keyboards and this has been happening ever since I got my phone a few days aho

Strange WiFi

So in Android 4.2.1
When WiFi option is even set to "Keep Wi-Fi on during sleep" to Always. When the screen is off it seems that the Wi-Fi go to sleep. To test this
First find out your android IP address on your home network
-Go to setting -> About Phone -> Status scroll all the way down to IP address and also note your Wi-Fi Mac address as well
Go to one of your computer on the same wifi network as the phone
-open Command Prompt (For windows 7 - Hit the start button and type in "cmd" and start it) - Basically it is the DOS window
-Type in the command "Ping ipadress" . so if your IP is 192.168.1.105 then your cmd is "Ping 192.168.1.105" without quote then hit enter
With the phone screen on you will get successful ping, now have the screen off for like a minute then type in the cmd it should fail. Anyone seeing this?
So you're saying if I turn off Wi-Fi optimization I will always get the ping? I have this happen so I eventually Getty late voxes, email, Google voice texts. But I could have sworn I had the issue regardless of the Wi-Fi optimization being checked or not.

Oh so this is a known issue? I am just saying it seems like we all have Wi-Fi sleep problem, any fix?
I've noticed this too and thought that Keep WiFi On wasn't set, but it was. Also, I've noticed at work (multiple access points) when connecting to another access point, same SSID, I lose internet connectivity and have to reset WiFi. This worked fine on the GNex.

How can we report this bug. I think my nexus 7 got it too. Although when I turn optimization off it helped

Can't Connect to WiFi... Again

I have searched everything here. Tried the Internet, nothing. I have turned on all the WiFi options in Developer Options for WiFi. I have forgot my WiFi connection, rebooted, added my WiFi network on again and again. My WiFi network works on my Roku 3, my old S4 and my pos MacBook Pro, that I can only see 1/3 of the screen. I been trying to fix this for almost seven hours. I have toggled the WiFi etc. I am unlocked and rooted on 5.01. My WiFi doesn't see any WiFi networks period.
I would really really appreciate some help. I just had a shunt put in my eye for glaucoma and cataract surgery and I can't keep staring at this screen. I have severe ADD and it's really difficult for me not to stop trying.
Sent from my Nexus 6 using Tapatalk
Found the answer at Android Central. The answer is to power off phone. Press and hold onto Power Off until it offers Safe Mode. When the phone reboots, delete your WiFi network. Then add your WiFi network, put in your password and BOOM! Your WiFi CONNECTS! Then just turn the phone off and let it reboot. Finished.

[ASK] Moto g5s plus wifi keep disconnecting after few minutes stand by

Hi, I recently bought Moto G5s Plus, but I found some problem, like my Moto G5s Plus is keep disconnecting after not using for few minutes. I've tried Reset Default Network, and nothing changed. Is any reason? and what I must to do?
Disconnect (forget) and reconnect does help or restarting your phone? If not, must be your router issues mostly if you have more than the number of devices at your place. If that the case, you could set static ip address to each devices.

I've trying that, still being disconnected. I don't know about the router, but I'm trying with making hotspot from the another phone, and from my windows pc. still same like that. discconecting again after i lock the screen.
P.S : THhe WiFi I connect always showing disabled after first Connect
Based from you statement, that must be your router/wifi problem. Try unplugging it for 20 seconds then try to plug it again.

Hi, thanks for contributing in my thread
I found that, if the phone is not using WiFi (no activities) the WiFi will be disconected, I tested with download an apps in playstore, the WiFi still connect
That's a good feature in most modern phones to save battery. Afaik, there's an option to keep your phone from disconnecting from wifi even without you using it mostly if you're asleep.
