Same problem here.

I bought my GN on the weekend of the launch last November in the UK and was using 5ghz happily for a few weeks. Then it stopped connecting (full signal but wouldn't do anything when I clicked connect)

I upgraded to 4.02 but got the same even after a complete wipe. I then managed to get a replacement from phones4u and all was well for a while until it died again... I'm running 4.0.4 and still get the same issue. I'm running an E3000. I also tried it with my Virginmedia Superhub in 5ghz mode but it's still the same. The E3000 was running DD-WRT but is now on the latest stock Cisco firmware.

I'm not sure if it's hardware or software as the hard reset doesn't fix it...
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] tylerdurdin:
There will be a fix soon.... It's a software issue and there is already in fix for the I9100 and i777 ports.

killing is my business, and business is good.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] kingofnima:
Same problem for me. Tried to change channel on my router but no success.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] BinkXDA:
Doubtful it’ll be fixed soon… It hasn’t worked since day one—and even with the recent 4.0.4, the latest and greatest bug-ridden phone from Google still cannot SEE the same enterprise-class 5GHz radio that my notebook and tablet connect to effortlessly daily.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] DanderMan:
Same problem here. I bought a new router a week ago and used 5GHz without any problem til now - some hours ago it suddenly stopped working (phone still finds it, but can't connect to it).

Could you please give more information?: Sources? Will it a be a fix directly from Google?
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] tdiboy:
Is it a software problem?

I'm not so convinced really...If it was, wouldn't it just start working after a hard reset or even after putting the Google recovery images back on (done with 4.0.2 last year and then 4.0.4 last night.). The fact that it persists after the wipe makes me suspicious of a software fault. Why does it work for a while (from new like both of mine did), then suddenly stop and never work again?

I'm sending mine back under warranty tomorrow (after I get an RMA from Samsung UK that is). I'll be using my wifes Samsung Omnia 7 until it returns :( It's built very well (better than my GNEX but so lacking in software and anything to mess with like VPN (too technical I suppose)...
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] nmt1900:
Check WMM settings on router

I've got this same problem some time ago - everything was fine and then suddenly problems appeared: all settings were unchanged (WPA2/AES/ch44/N-only), but connection speed got very low and connection failed on distance over 1-2 ft from AP.

Then I just tried to change the settings on router back and forth (E3000 with DD-WRT), but no avail. I gave the phone into service and got it back with description "circuit board replaced" - so it obviously had hardware fault in it.

Now I tried to connect again, but got no connection at all on 5 GHz with this well known message in logs

CTRL-EVENT-ASSOC-REJECT status_code=16

I decided to check up the router settings one more time and after some futile efforts I just observed that WMM Support was disabled on 5 GHz (probably switched off when investigating the problem before servicing). I then turned it on and got perfect 5 GHz connectivity to my router. Then again - Macbook Pro has no problem connecting no matter how WMM options are set.

Now after that I just tried to test the effect of WMM support on 2,4 GHz and it indeed affects the connections - on NG-mixed AP connection is 54 Mbps (11g) without WMM and 65 Mbps (11n) with WMM.

When 5 GHz was configured as N-only, connections failed, if WMM support was disabled. Some systems are obviously more strict at this 802.11n requirement than others.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] BinkXDA:
Glad to hear enabling WMM helped you—your network was broken without it. All our APs use WMM (which is required for 11n speeds) on both 2.4GHz and 5GHz, but the GNs cannot see the 5GHz SSIDs.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] nmt1900:
Yes it was "broken", but not all devices care about that - Macbook Pro seems to connect and work fine with it and without it.

Limited channel range is known thing, but hardware fault is still hard to believe to be so common, that all phones have it. This one obviously had.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] DooMMeeR:
it seems as if my 5GHz wifi-rdio has died on me

I have contacted samsung for a solution on this, because I need my phone and cannot send it in for up to 4 Weeks -.-

this is no single case, I have found reasons to believe that the SGS2 as the SGN are suffering the same issue where the TX amplifier of the radio suddenly dies for no obvious reason

99% of the users will never notice, but it is gone for many

the radio still works as long as I am as near as about 1m to the AP, any further away and the connection breaks up
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Fidai:
Exactly the same here, 5Ghz used to work fine but died after a couple of weeks (?) suddenly. Now it's only working when very near to the AP (+- 0.5m)... Looks like a hardware issue is it occurred without any software changes and can't be solved (so far)...
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] DooMMeeR:
Hi,

could ANYONE having had or still having the specific issue comment on this post?!?

https://plus.google.com/110074557516559184630/posts/1TSvLrXnooy

Samsung has now stopped replacing phones and is throwing the ball at Google.

Please comment on the issue with your experience and tell others of this post.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] BinkXDA:
We need to get some major publicity on this issue—like a New York Times piece or similar. I think a headline of “Google Flagship Phone on the Market for Six Month and Still No Fix for Wireless Issues.” When Apple releases an iPhone with f*cked up wireless the whole world is outraged and a fix is promptly released. When Google or Samsung does it, nothing happens.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] adrynalyne:
5ghz --no problem. How do you explain this?

For you to gain a following to convince a high profile paper like NY Times, or even hope to win a class action lawsuit, you have to demonstrate it is broken for most people, not just a few threads on XDA and other various geek sites.

XDA is not the hub of the world. 5 pages in this thread since December is not exactly an alarming amount of posts. I've no doubt some folks have issues but not enough to make a blanket statement like it is broken for most, which you have been saying.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] DooMMeeR:
I just want google or samsung to aknowledge the problem

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=V33LAfpgyCM

there is a video visualizing the problem

it is the same here and it worked before on the same network

others got their phones replaced and it worked again on the same network afterwards
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] player911:
Ouch. I have 5ghz at home that I think I've connected to just fine. I use my 2.4Ghz because it has a larger range, but I'm pretty sure it works.

What radio, firmware, android level are you running on?
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] adrynalyne:
Same, although I choose 5ghz because lack of interference is worth the weaker signal to me. There are 21312345312312 2.4ghz routers in range.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] floateruk:
Just hit this wall. Owned a nexus from day one and not had an issue. Suddenly this morning it stopped working and won't connect to 5ghz. 2.4 is still working though...

[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] bonyisme:
Worked perfect on Asian Galaxy Nexus (non 4G)

The 5GHz would not show up as the router (ASUS RT-N66U) was set to automatic for the 5GHz settings.

After configuring to one of the 4, the network started showing up. The problem got resolved. I wish Samsung would mention that in the documentation somewhere.

Thank you.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] BinkXDA:
This is not mentioned anywhere because the hardware and/or software is broken. When I deploy wireless networks for large companies, none of them have wireless end point devices that are crippled to only operate in four channels in the 5GHz spectrum (which also happens to nullify one of the main advantages that 5GHz has over 2.4GHz in that there are many more channels available).
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] BinkXDA:
For what it’s worth, I decided to do some brief experimentation with a business-class stand-alone wireless access point and, while I didn’t spend too much time on this, it appears the Galaxy Nexus’s ability to do Dynamic Frequency Selection (DFS) is broken, non-existent or the device is simply coded (miscoded?) not to connect to UNII-2 5GHz channels (channels 52-140), which require the use of DFS. I was able to connect to this access point’s 5GHz radio using UNII-1, UNII-3 and the 5.8 ISM channels—so, for the most part, this covers channels 36-48 and 149-165. Hope this helps someone.

For more technical information on wireless channels, see http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_WLAN_channels...
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] knirirr:
This problem has cropped up for me after a factory reset and flash of AOKP Milestone 5. The symptoms are that the 5GHz network can be seen, but attempts to connect to it fail (either out of range or bars don't go blue) with the following log error:

I/wpa_supplicant( 602): wlan0: CTRL-EVENT-ASSOC-REJECT status_code=16

Before that I was running the CM9 nightly (latest was 20120502), and stock 4.0.2 for a short time before that. Both were capable of connecting to the same access point.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] djmcnz:
I be interested if you have a nandroid of your prior rom, what happens if you do a full wipe and restored that? I would expect 5GHz is still busted but it would be nice to validate that.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] knirirr:
I can confirm that restoring the nandroid backup does not have any effect upon the 5GHz problem; it's still broken with the older CM9 installation. So, I'll be phoning Samsung's support line tomorrow in the hope they'll replace the device.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] maxximme:
I seek a solution for several days. i did everything, tried many wifi, factory default, etc. I can't connect to 5ghz wifi anymore. My girlfriend just bought yesterday a GNEX and can connect to the wifi, I'm wondering if after a few day it will not work too... If anyone found a solution let us know because I think I will return my gnex...

Thanks!

[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] knirirr:
Samsung agreed that a warranty repair was in order, and gave me the details of a local repair centre. I e-mailed them, explaining the problem, to ask about the repair and their reply was:

Does anyone know what this might be? Could it be anything to do with the baseband, about which I am rather ignorant?
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Luxferro:
My 5GHz doesn't work anymore as well. After reading all this, I don't think it's worth bothering to get it replaced if it will just break again in the future. Part of me wants it fixed, but the other part doesn't feel like parting with my phone for an extended period of time just to get it back working, for it to just break again.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] ChazzMichaelMichaels:
Just ran into this issue myself.

Don't know if it was in any of the other posts, but it looks like this is a long standing issue with Google as well:

http://code.google.com/p/android/issues/detail?id=22474

I bought an Apple Airport Extreme and everything else in my house connected fine EXCEPT for my Galaxy Nexus. I'm running 4.0.2 with XXKK6 right now.

I wound up returning the router; pretty upset about it because everything in my house was working VERY well with it except for the GNex.

Looks like Google is largely ignoring the bug ticket linked above.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] BinkXDA:
Why would you return the router when every thread points to the GN as being broken?
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] ChazzMichaelMichaels:
A few reasons:

1) My WRT54G is working ok, just not as fast as the Airport, and the GNex works with it.

2) I could return the router and get my money back for now; I can't do that with the GNex at this point and don't know what I'd replace it with.

3) Given #2, I'd rather hold onto my money and revisit getting a new router when/if I have a phone that will be compatible since there may be better routers out there and/or prices may be lower. I'd have to use the router in B/G mode to make it work correctly, which is what my WRT54G already does.

4) Given the crappy data reception in my house, I need to be able to connect to Wifi with my phone.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] :
Any new experiences/solutions with our strange 5Ghz problem??

It's driving me crazy :-(
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] djmcnz:
Yeah, you need your phone replaced, then it will break again a few months later.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] morrty:
So, this is a defect in the phone then?

I'm having the same problem with an Linksys E3200
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] mrtraveler:
I just got my GNex 4.0.4 last month. I was able to connect to a dual band router at the 5GHz freq the speed was very fast but the range wasn't that great. If I wondered more than 30 feet away I would lose my connection. But it would reconnect to the 2.5 Ghz up to 100 feet away.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] mjwford1:
5GHz problems

I went into the WiFi settings and had my GNEX stay on 2.4GHz. Not the best fix but I have a stable internet connection. (GNEX AOKP Toro JB Build 1, Kernel Tuna-Faux 3.0.36, Baseband version I515.10 V.FF02 / I515.FG02)

I've been having issues with 5ghz and my phone not autoconnecting to it since the 4.1.2 update. Just came across your post and gave it a try and it worked. Set my router to 20Mhz channel width and specified channel 40 and boom, phone connected. Thanks!
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] habeebee:
Just change the 5ghz wifi channel to that which is obviously suitable for all your devices. Also had this issue but my PC was able to connect to both 5ghz channel on my 2 dual band routers while the phablet won't. I fiddled and discovered the lower channels worked perfectly. Awkward moment i realized the poster above had the issue resolved. Thanks Though

[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] komsa:
Stock ROM but ROOTED and your' good to go..................friendly recommendation :)
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] slig:
Dude, if You just got Your phone and don't know what rom to choose at first learn the device. You don't need neither custom rom nor root. These are just addons for great device. It's common that people don't use their device but play with it and it ends badly. You assumed that any rom is good apart from stock but stock rom is very good. Also You don't need to root it instantly. Some say that "phone is unusable in non rooted state" - it's bull s**t. Apps that require root are designed to meet very specific needs, not for regular users. It's because android is veery advanced and allow many things without administrator privileges (this is not an iphone !). Remember - people think that root is "something everyone should do at once" - no it's not, and it's very dangerous in hands of unexperienced user. One false move with root privileges and You will start learning many things about flashing at once just to recover your device. Also remember that this is not another "application privilege". App with root privs is capable of wiping entire system in a seconds including IMEI data etc.

It's really friendly advice - leave Your phone as it is for now, learn how it works, install some apps and read as much as You can. Then You will know what your device is capable of and what can be achieved by rooting / flashing kernels or roms. Flashing without a reason, just for fun is stupid and ends with full pants.

Official MIUI without a doubt. The best ROM I've used on any device.
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] benyben123:
But is MIUI even supported? Isn't it ported (which means its not so good, but only kinda?)
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] slig:
...another thing worth to read about. What do You mean by supported ? It's supported by it's designers.

For SGS2 we have custom ROMs like CheckROM - modified Samsung officials, added some tweaks, apps, removed less usable apps. And ROMs like MIUI or CyanogenMod - they are AOSP (android open source project) and have little in common with Samsung official firmware, ex. no TouchWiz so some Samsung specific apps will not work on them. According to Wikipedia - MIUI is based on CM7.1 sources.

MIUI is not "ported", it's prepared for many devices including SGS2.
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] MistahBungle:
Don't do *anything* until you've done a *lot* of reading. Enjoy the phone. It's a fantastic device simply running stock firmware.

Once you're comfortable enough to be able to do it in your sleep (And not before. If you have to ask questions about this, you're not ready. It is an absolutely simple process), root your phone using a CFRoot kernel.

This will enable you to remove/freeze all the crap telcos/Samsung put on the phone and all the other joyful things that come with having a rooted phone. And do a lot more reading. Only this time read the threads devoted to the various roms/kernels. Read other users experiences with these. The features. Pluses. Downsides. Ask specific questions about them in these threads.

From there, you can make an informed decision about a rom/kernel combo to try. Believe me, if you do a couple of weeks of reading/research before you do anything, you'll reap the rewards.

If you jump in the deep end without understanding what you're doing, you could end up with a soft brick that might take you a few days to fix at best. Or returning the phone to Samsung /potentially having to pay to have it repaired out of your own pocket at worst.

Just a few things to consider ;)
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 Themes and Apps] kanej2006:
After trying several different launchers, LauncherPro was my favourite one which was near perfect.

It looks great, runs fast and is excellent on battery...

I have just one issue which is really bothering me and this launcher is the only one giving me this problem.

It's hard to explain the problem but it's an issue with the screen wallpaper. When setting a wallpaper, whether it be stock or your own, it will then appear to be zoomed in like crazy and appear blocky/blurry...

The only way to put the screen wallpaper back to normal is by switching your home screen to another then switching back.

However, when doing this the home screen wallpaper will eventually return to it's strange looking state.

Even when disabling screen scrolling or using wallpaper wizardrii the home screen wallpaper will still return the way it was before, zoomed in like crazy and will scroll even though it's been disabled.

This is a definate bug in the launcher but it seems I'm the only one getting this.

Anyone have any suggestions other than to change my launcher?

As stated before I really love this launcher and would like to resolve this problem.

Thanks.
