WiFi doesn't connect with AOSP roms - Nexus 6 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

I just purchased this used N6. This is my first Nexus device, coming from Samsung and LG devices, I am truly amazed at the speed of the device. I don't care what the benchmark scores says, this is way faster than Note4, MotoXPure or LG G4.
One problem I am facing is that the WiFi doesn't connect at my university network with the AOSP roms. I tried PureNexus, Chroma and ResurrectionRemix. I can connect to my home wifi just fine.
On stock based roms it works at both places. I am currently on N6XShamuM rom, and wifi is just fine.
The problem is only with AOSP roms. I didn't have this issue with AOSP rom on my LG G4.
Can someone suggest any solution?
The AOSP roms feels snappier than the stock, so I would prefer to use one of them.

Also bluetooth keeps disconnection on my Pebble Time. No problem with stock.
Guess I have no other option but to stay with stock.

Let me personally recommend Mokee Rom.
It's CM based, updated daily, and has amazing performance. Not a lot of people know about it because it's a page or two back in the development section. No one ever post in it because there are never any problems! Get frisky and try it with blackbird kernel.
Also, try wifi>advanced>wifi frequency band> then alternate between auto, 5, and 2.4 on the aosp Roms, see if it connects

new broadcom driver

CM 5.0.8 is officially out now, and just like the other builds it's reliant on the froyo radio, which as of right now, makes my phone nearly unusable. I'm in Los Angeles and go straight to edge on it and can barely find a 3G signal at all, not the case with the older radios, in fact it connects to 3G/HSPA so strongly i forget edge even exists. so i'll be downgrading back to 5.0.6, which i'm quite pleased with, except the battery life , until froyo is out which seems to have better battery.
the one thing i'd very much so like to retain from this CM build is the new wireless driver. can this be installed seperately or flashed overtop of 5.0.6?
you posted in wrong section, this is development

Broken Wi-Fi

Hey guys, since yesterday my milestone doesn't find any Wi-Fi network. Any ideas ?
PS: I tried with CM7 and CM9.

Did you drop it or something?
I've actually had this problem quite frequently with 2.3 based roms, most notably with the SteelDroid rom.
The only way I could ever get wifi re-enabled was to mess around with bringing it up and down. All I can suggest it to keep persisting with turning it off and on and you should get it back sooner or later, at least that's what my endeavors have shown.
I believe it's a wifi driver issue since the problem doesn't exist for me when I fall back to 2.2 based roms. If I run into the issue again, I'll post a logcat of for it and hopefully that will help someone who know's more about this to help you. If you could provide a logcat, that would be even better.
In 2.3-based roms I usually had to switch Wi-Fi several times to make it work, while in some Froyo-based roms I had to reboot (also on few 2.3 roms that use older kernel).

[Q] Haven't flashed in a while, help please

I haven't updated my SCH-I800 in a while and I notice that there is now a stable "cm-9.1.0-p1c.zip" on the cyanogenmod site but also CM10 builds (cm-10-20130714-NIGHTLY-p1c.zip) as recently as last week. The forums for the I800 aren't up right now so I thought I'd ask here if these CM10s are actually functioning well or if they have lots of missing features. And as much as I dig, I seem to only find half working ROMs or extremely experimental ones that have basic things like WiFi missing. Is there a solid stock Samsung ROM and a solid AOSP ROM that everyone uses at this mater point in this tablet's lifespan?
And is there a new method for flashing at all? Or is ODIN still the way?
Thanks!!!

I have spent the last week or so trying to get an SCH-i800 to run something OTHER than the stock gingerbread well and just haven't found it yet. The closest I got was a build of CM9 but still have sporadic reboots.
It's frustrating since the only thing I want this to do is run some OBD apps for my car. The problem is that apps detect Gingerbread and run in phone mode vs. tablet mode, wasting a bunch of screen space.
Cubed has been pretty much the only non-stock rom that didn't have FC's and random reboots. I don't even use the cellular feature of this tablet - I'd be happy just disabling the modem entirely and running on wifi if it meant it being more stable.
I'm considering just getting a Nexus 7, but the problem is that this thing would need to live in my car and I don't feel like doing that with a new tablet which is why I was trying to get the i800 to work

[Q] Stable Kit Kat ROM (as of 2/4/14)

I was running CM 10.2 for awhile then switched to an early CM 11 version and had lots of issues (couldn't get GPS lock, data stopped working, in call volume was broken, SODs, MMS issues). I ended up switching to Malladus 1.2 (currently running 1.2.2) and have had hardly any issues. That being said, I'd really like (a piece of that) Kit Kat (bar).
Does anyone have recommended Kit Kat ROMs for the LG G2 (Verizon)? GPS stability, working in call volume, working MMS, and very very few SODs are what I'm shooting for... maybe too tall of a wish list? Would love to stay close to "vanilla Android" / AOSP.
Any suggestions would be great! Also... is there a good place to go for this sort of information? I get lost flipping through the threads of the other ROMs.
i dont think cm is the best rom,even though it is so fast ,simple ,but too few features.

Gr33nD3vil's CM 11 Unofficial mod is the best so far for Verizon.

[Q] CM11 WiFi Connection Issue

Hey guys! I have only just joined XDA Developers so please excuse me if I have posted this thread in the wrong area. I have a Samsung Galaxy S Advance (GT-I9070) running stock Jellybean firmware (4.1.2 ITV) but as you all know the stock firmware for this device is full of bugs and freezes often. I successfully rooted my device and installed Team Canjica's CM10.2 ROM (4.3) from the thread on XDA Developers but the WiFi wasn't working. I then installed Maclaw's CM11 ROM (KitKat) because I thought that might solve the issue but it didn't. Here are the details:
Device scans for nearby wireless routers.
I type in the password for my home router.
Device saves router. "Saved, Secured" message displayed.
I tap on my home router in the list to connect.
Device says "Connecting" for a couple of seconds and then goes back to saying "Saved, Secured".
I browsed through the forums and some users suggested switching WiFi Frequency to Auto and turning off WiFi Optimisation but neither of those methods worked for me. The ROM was installed successfully and all other features are working properly so I don't think that is the issue. And my router settings are also alright since I am able to connect to it from my Nexus 7 (2013) properly. Can someone please provide me with a working solution for this issue? I will start receiving very high data usage bills soon because my data plan isn't unlimited. Thank you!
Is your ssid hidden (not broadcasted) by any chance? i had those troubles on hidden home network. Sometimes it worked after a while, sometimes it didn't. What helped me is to broadcast ssid for a moment, get connected with phone, remove broadcast (it will reboot router so phone will lose wifi for a moment). Then somehow it got connected normally
Sent from my SGS Adv. using xda-developers app.

I just checked my router settings and SSID Broadcast is enabled. I tried flashing OmniRom 4.3 thinking that this may be because of a problem with CyanogenMod but the problem still persists. Is there any additional kernel that I was supposed to install perhaps?
CyanogenMod 11 version ?

Just a detail to those who have not upgraded to JB stock and think it is impossible to use it without problems:
All bugs and freezes in Stock JB currently are perfectly finished.
I use STOCK, only with modified kernel (cocore 8.2) without freezes or bugs in months of use.
Enjoy the developer's work (cocafe), because without it JB probably would be impossible in SGA. However we have JB 100% functional and bug-free.
About KK and WIFI bugs:
The only KK (or based) ROM that used without WIFI bugs was RR 20140313.
In fact, the only issue is incall vol. in my experience.
WiFi Direct, Camera -> Panorama is laggy , Screen Recorder not working Not Tested
I also noticed that the battery is worse durability.
But I went back to JB Stock -- personal preference.

Actually I did try that method. Flashed Samsung's latest stock firmware I9070XXLQL (ITV) and then rooted and installed CoCore. To be honest overall performance was much better and UI smoothness was improved. But after a couple of days of regular usage with just a few basic applications such as a note taker, train arrival time, WhatsApp etc. the device started freezing up a couple of times a day again. I admit it worked much better than before but freezes and hangs were still quite frequent. Running OmniROM 4.3 now with no issues so far except for dialer FC, laggy panorama and non functional WiFi hotspot.

This means probably you have typed wrong password. Also check that in keyboard it capitalise first letter automatically. forget the network and connect again
WIFI not working with cm-11-20140521-UNOFFICIAL-janice and cm11.0_janice.nova.201406
Same wifi problem with cm-11-20140521-UNOFFICIAL-janice and cm11.0_janice.nova.20140601. Wifi not connecting even after giving the right password (used to work correctly with jb4.1.2 and still works with desktop) only showing saving and connecting wifi. Then the wifi connection is shown to be saved. If wifi does not work with cyanogenmod11, then what's the use of upgrading?
Is wifi is not working in any custom kitkat Rom?
Please suggest a solution.
Try couple times to connect. I remember sometimes I had to reconnect 2-3 times before it gets connection. And the problem with kernel was about WIFI not turning on at all, it was not even search SSIDs.
