This continued 'dropping and reconnecting' to my WPA/2 has been driving me nuts and I found the holy grail for my problem to share.

During the course of troubleshooting I:

1. updated router firmware

2. changed security from wep to wpa to wpa2

3. hard coded the nook mac address to enabled, even though there was no block setup.....

4. YadaYada.... pullin my frickin hair out then the moment of calrity:eek:

When I observed 'connected devices to my wireless I noticed that all other devices in da house had typical host names like laptop1, server1 whatever and the host name for the nook when attempting to connect was, and I quote

'android-873iurhfier98734598'

or in other words a dash with a huge random number/letter sequence that showed up as funky 'alien' ascii characters to the router.

So the fix was:

goto settings

goto applications

goto development

goto device hostname

dropdown to edit and backspace(erase) the dash-----bull****

I ended up with a host name of android

went back to wifi settings, forgot and reconnected and :D BAM

Done deal.

Hope this helps some of you who are having wifi problems.......

I believe this is related to certain wireless routers being unable to translate the characters into something other then gibberish ascii characters it believes its seeing????

whatever I dont care anymore....
[Nook Color General] yourm0m1:
didnt fix it for me.... :(
[Nook Color General] mooja:
**edit**

spoke too soon. worked for about 5 minutes and then i was back at the same boat
[Nook Color General] bonzer2u:
Hmmmm,

I have a belkin N1 wireless router and did update to the latest firmware. I did change several settings during the course of getting my issue resolved as follows:

Radio = 11g

Bandwidth = 20Mhz+40Mhz-auto

QOS = OFF

Authentication = WPA-PSK+WPA2-PSK

Encryption = TKIP+AES

obscure PSK = OFF

hopefully these will help..............:confused:
[Nook Color General] bonzer2u:
Easy there big fella.............. glad it worked for you
[Nook Color General] bonzer2u:
Try the settings I gave in post #4

I have been running consistent for several hours now.....
[Nook Color General] yourm0m1:
with the .29 kernel and cm7.0.2 i dont have any issues, so i dont feel the need to screw with the router....ill wait or deal
[Nook Color General] bonzer2u:
I had issues with cm7.0.2/3 stables and phiremod 6.2, .29 kernels until I stumbled on my fix. However this also works well for me with the 2.6.32, beta 3.1.

FYI, I have been running all of these off SD, my emmc is 1.01 rooted and very stable.
[Nook Color General] jay_ntwr:
Dude, you are a lifesaver. I've been running into this problem frequently and it's sort of a kiss of death for WiFi when it happens and I have to re-do the whole CM7 SD Card. It's working perfectly now though after I just had a card fixed pretty much perfectly.
[Nook Color General] tenderidol:
Thanks for posting this...

I didn't have any connection-disconnection type WiFi problems, but I went ahead and shortened the name to just android. What it fixed for me is the YouTube on Phiremod 6.3. Previously, any clip would stop with an error message. The progress bar of loading the clip ahead of the video playback was moving slowly at the beginning, but then jumping to the very end, and when the playback was at the "jumping point", it was giving me an error. Now, after this "fix", the bar moves along slowly all the way to the end, and video never stops with an error. Even if the playback catches up with the bar, it just pauses and waits for more to be loaded (mainly for HQ clips, occasionally).

Thanks again for this "unexpected" YouTube fix :D
[Nook Color General] jay_ntwr:
FYI, I'm no longer able to get WiFi on the 108 Nightly. I tried this sequence again and haven't had any luck. Looks like a full wipe/install again.

EDIT: Just turned off the "Network Notification" and it's working fine again. Strange, but it keeps me from having to wipe AND my WiFi is working again. I hope that helps someone else.
[Nook Color General] SCrid2000:
Well since everyone is posting what worked for them, I figure I might as well too :D

I started getting this problem yesterday, never had it in the week up till then.

Problem started when I changed did a factory reset on my Belkin router (yes I know Belkin sucks) and changed the security to WEP (I know, I know, WEP sucks too) so that we could connect to XBox Live with an ancient xbox receiver thing (xbox was hardwired in our old apartment, and I'm not buying a new xbox just for freaking built in wifi it should have had in the first place lol).

Enough in the way of background. Suffice to say, I was having the wifi drop issue on my nook, but the xbox, wii, and two laptops were fine.

Last night I tried flashing back to stable CM7, n108, n106, and n85. No go. Also tried the honeycomb port from SDK 11. No go.

I changed the device name in applications -> development to "android" and turned off notifications when there was an available wifi hotspot. Still no go.

Changed about every wifi my POS Belkin had, still didn't work.

I flashed back to stock 1.2 with no root and no CWM, and wifi was still turning on and off.

I did two things since then and one of two things fixed it; not 100% sure which.

1. This morning I downloaded the software for my router from Belkin and reloaded it. Before I could test it, I had to rush off to work.

2. At work I rerooted, reinstalled CWM, and loaded n110, and when I got home IT WORKED!

Seems most likely to me that reloading the router software is what did it, although it may be n110 that did it.

So anyway, for everyone who is as desperate as I was last night, here's two more things to try.

I'm not sure if this has been meantioned or not.......I have NO problems when tethering from my phone. Its only when connected to my router. Also I ran a couple of shows from Netflix to see if it would hold a connection from the router. Both shows ran perfect. But as soon as I tried searching on the browser it stopped working. I can then at that point wait it out or disconnect and reconnect. But again it works flawlessly tethering from my tbolt using wireless tether.
[Nook Color General] divxrippimp:

[Nook Color General] xmlaroux:
I can say this forum helped tremendously. Editing the Nook hostname fixed my WIFI issues. I have a Linksys WRT610N V1 with WPA2-Personal TKIP/ASIP with no issues now. All I did was make this change... Excellent connectivity now.
[Nook Color General] christoophat:
This is THE most frustrating issue that remains (for me) using the NC . I've tried most everything here at home to get a stable continuous connection, and end up failing.

Took it into work yesterday & sniffed out an open wifi WAP there, showed only one bar, yet it connected & played Netflix,Pandora, etc flawlessly.:mad:

well, just now reset my router (TP-Link wr1043N) & upgraded it's FW, and it is now allowing Netflix streaming. Holding breath, fingers crossed, etc
[Nook Color General] SCrid2000:
Well at least you know it's a router issue, hopefully you'll have the same experience as me, perfect connectivity ever since the firmware reload here.
[Nook Color General] christoophat:
agreed. NC is charging now, but hoping that this issue is over for good. Thanks for the idea to look at the FW as a solution
[Nook Color General] xc68000:
Strange. I was using build 120 with my router with no issues, then after a few days it stopped working and would not reconnect even after a reboot. Forgetting the connection and recreating it didn't work either. However making the connection not use AES worked.
[Nook Color General] andrewxu:
Thanks, on a vibrant cm 7 n46 and this worked to gain about one bar of wifi everywhere. Cool!
[Nook Color General] cyberkhan:
Thanks.

I changed the hostname to "NookColor" and it is working flawlessly!
[Nook Color General] christoophat:
It likes that name :D
[Nook Color General] GTT1:
I have never had disconnects of wifi using CM 7.0.3 or 7.0.2 which is what I started with.

Since then have tried numerous nightlies, 7.1 and recently RC1 and always get disconnects.

Don't know what they did but something changed that seems to make a difference after 7.0.3 to wifi.

In the process of writing my backup image of 7.0.3 to my card and will live with the battery issue which is not that bad as I charge every night anyway.
[Nook Color General] xristoforosth:
I also changed the device hostname, but the behaviour remains the same..

I haven't made much progress lately on this, but here is another preview. As the tittle says its work in progress so go easy on me. Next month I'm getting anew PC so I'll work much more on this.

Some notes about the icons:

I have a new style for glyph based icons that can be seen on the sms one, i also tried this on the catch notes one, but i don't really like it.

The camera icon is unfinished: it feels empty and needs some cool lens reflection effect (I suck at making those so if you have some cool tutorials/resources I'm listening)

No ETA

I'm satisfied with the base and the effects, so I'm doing the actual icons now. The plan is to create icons for all default CM7 and MIUI apps plus a few market apps and release it with a template.

Thanks, great work
[Android Themes] randomchars:
Progress report

Updated the OP with a new preview, feedback is welcome as always.

The initial release will contain icons for ~50 Apps; the default CM7 and the most used market apps. It will be bundled in a zip to be used with Desktop Visualizer, a combined theme chooser, adw and launcherpro theme will come after we've hit 100+ icons.

As for a MIUI theme, well as my phone doesn't support Miui that won't happen anytime some.

The template will be included in a contributor package with the free fonts, swatches, shapes and patterns.

P.S. If anyone here could draft me to Dribbble I would greatly appreciate it! Just PM me and I will send you a link to my profile. :)
[Android Themes] knabben:
I have a MIUI phone, with the latest version. I have - I believe - enough knowledge to port your theme to the ROM. If you want my help, please PM me with a link to the icons and I begin to work on a MIUI icon theme for you.

[Atrix 4G General] omnius1:
First let me say I'm not rooted. With that out of the way, are there any home launchers that are optimized for this tegra 2 phone? I've used ADW, Launcher pro, and Go Launcher and all 3 of them ran slightly slower than just using the stock launcher.
[Atrix 4G General] marko!:
Since dual core is so new there are no launchers or even many apps that make any use of the extra power

sent from my rooted, canadian Motorola Atrix (4G)
[Atrix 4G General] omnius1:
Unfortunately that's what I was afraid of. Has anyone had any success with a home launcher running fast and smoothly on a non rooted atrix?
[Atrix 4G General] dstech:
GO Launcher EX ran fast on my non-rooted Atrix. There are a lot of settings for GO Launcher and I just set all the transitions to the fastest settings and it ran fine. I didn't notice any lag at all. I'm rooted now and I'm still using GO Launcher EX.

In fact I'm using all their add-ons for SMS, Dialer, Weather, Score, etc and they all run pretty fast on the Atrix.
[Atrix 4G General] Evil.Bonsai:
When you installed the launcher, did you remove all the widgets you had on the stock launcher? If you didn't, they'll still be there running even when you use a new launcher. Remove everything then add the new launcher and set it up the way you like. Should be a lot smoother.

Also, have you tried Zeam? It's fairly minimal but quick.
[Atrix 4G General] Gutterball:
Or he could just freeze the stock launcher with titanium backup that works well.
[Atrix 4G General] omnius1:
Yeah, I went through all the usual proper steps. Just for kicks I just reinstalled go launcher a few hours ago. Within 1 hour it started freezing my phone causing my screen to either stutter or just go totally unresponsive. Going to go back to adw and see if it happens with that
[Atrix 4G General] DeathKoil:
I have had no problems with ADW Launcher EX.

Do you think the Fancy Widget clock widget might be a problem? I've read that it does some funky freezing to some people.
[Atrix 4G General] ccrows:
It's a strong possibility.

Since my Galaxy S, I've stopped using all running widgets.

Actually come to think of it, all my current icons are shortcuts which is probably why Launcher Pro runs as smooth as butter for me... :)

[Atrix 4G General] PuerkitoBio:
Strange, for me stock was worst. Adw was very fast, while regina is slow on first swipe but fast after that. Can't see how you find Spb slow, though, it's the fastest I've seen! Even a page full of widgets, makes no difference, super smooth transitions.

VTL.Launcher

I am running VTL.Launcher. Originally developed for the G Tablet by the Vegan rom developer the thing is great. It is based on ADW so all the themes and such can be used from ADW. If you can sideload it's free but I bought it from the market for $2.99 just to support the developer. You not only can have the bottom dock but on the side as well. It's also a scrolling dock. You can also do categories in the App Drawer. Really great for customizing.
