Root cm7 wifi issue

Hello, I am having same problem sometimes. Usually wifi connects in 1-2 sec...randomly scanning gets stucked and NOTHING helps. Reboot, check-unckeck wify-no way.
Ok, I solved the problem like this. Problem is custom wify apk gets stuck and scanning does not start. I installed Wifi Analiser. Options-check open wifi when program starts-leave unchecked turn off when quit program.
This will do and you do not have to kill the router or settings or phone. Hope it helps. Good luck!
What do you mean "leave unchecked turn off

Hey, guys.
Just solved the wifi problem here, maybe it'll work for you guys. Just followed the following procedure (taken from nadlabak's own changelog of version 7.1.4). I also deleted all SU permissions, rebooted and accepted everything SU asked me. Here it goes:
"If you encounter wifi issues after update:
reboot to recovery, open console and enter
rm -R /data/misc/wifi
exit
and reboot. You will have to re-configure your wifi networks after this.
Also make sure you have the correct Wifi Regulatory domain selected:
Settings>Wireless & network>Wi-Fi settings>menu>Advanced>Regulatory domain.
Select the appropriate value (11-US, 13-EU, 14-JP), then menu>Save."
Voila, worked for me.

Ya, flashed Cm6 (all 3 launcher versions) and played around with them most of the morning. I dunno why, but for some reason, they just seem a little clunky to me in comparison to CM7. (No offense to the people that put all that hard work and effort into them.) Probably just me, just like the feel of the other better.

I can deal w no MMS Video, but not w/o WiFi, so I think I"ll just stick to CM7 - 05142011 for now, and wait a new version that doesn't hate my phone so much..:p

05142011 was the last build I could use, and still have reliable wifi. I tried every build since then and same problem. If u look though the CM7 thread you will see my posts about it, its a long thread though. I was never able to resolve it. BTW I think CM7 for the ascend is over I dont think there will be anymore, since this phone is hardware challenged.

You made my day and this is not just a temp fix it is a very good fix because everyone is searching for it.
Because of this problem i was unable to use MIUI new version and CM7 also.

Thank you and keep it up.

Ok, I found a temporary fix for this. It's not Ideal because you have to do it for each Wifi Network you connect to. But if you must have the new build, and don't want your wifi dropping in and out, here ya go.

Download Wifi Buddy (free on android market.) I'm sure there are other programs you can use, but this is the one I know.

Download Gtech Net Tools (Again Free on Market).

Enable your wifi like usual.

Go into Gtech, Click IP Config. Click Wifi, and write down all your settings while it's still connected. If it drops out while your doing this, just refresh when it connects again.

Write down your connected/IP, Subnet Mask, Gateway, and DNS Server.

Exit, and open Wifi Buddy.
Click preferances, Wifi Networks, Hit your Menu Button, Click advanced.
Goto Use Static IP, and plug in the info you wrote down from Gtech.
(Netmask = Subnet Mask)

Arrow back once the info is in place, and connect to your Wifi.

It'll Stay stable, and no longer keep dropping, and reobtaining your Wifi.

For any new connections, rinse and repeat.

Cheers :)

this works even better xD thanks mate xD
