Nexus 7 Network Configuration problems

From a less technical standpoint, similar issues:

Clear Wireless Internet Service at office and home.

New Nexus 7 16GB tablet.

No problem with initial network configuration at office. I entered the PW in the identified network and was instantly online.

Network at home, also Clear Wireless, with different name and PW, gave me long delay and repeatedly "Authentication Problem" failure. Two other devices (Android phone and Windows laptop) continued to function normally on the home network.

Call center wasted about an hour and wanted me to call the device manufacturer (ASUS) help call center, which I declined to do. Supervisor was better at English but not at network configuration. A trip to the Clear Wireless brick & mortal location and a temp tech rep there resulted in his ordering a new (replacement) modem for home use.

I could not delete or 'forget' the home network on my Nexus 7 to rescan for a new network configuration for the home network.

Took the Nexus 7 to the office and it again signed me on without a problem, but the home network disappeared while many other nearby business networks showed up.

My next step is to take the device back home and hope that a re-scan of the available networks will re-create a home network that will not result in the "Authentication Problem" failure from what I believe to be its faulty configuration that I was previously unable to modify, delete or 'forget'. I assume that "forget" means to delete or remove.

From the process of elimination, it appears to me that the home network configuration that was automatically created by the device is flawed and unless I can remove or re-configure it am at an impasse. Reconfiguration or removal for a re-scan were not available options when first attempted, unless and until, I get it home and am permitted to do so this time, I may have to return the device to Google under warranty.

Any related or similar problems or suggestions from others would be appreciated.

Thanks

In order to apply the "working" patch from the thread, you need an unlocked bootloader with CWR or to manually install the file in the filesystem with "root" (Superuser) access; either way, you're breaking the stock-ness of the device (not a cool thing to do in a corporate environment that prohibits such actions).

In order for most corporate users (which this bug almost exclusively affects) to use any Android 4.1+ device on the WiFi at their offices, Google will need to fix this with an OTA, and FAST.
[Nexus 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ravage485:
I can't believe that google still hasn't patched this. They acknowledged the problem over a month ago and have a fix ready, but nothing has been done. I don't want to unlock my bootloader and root my N7 just to fix a stupid wifi bug that google already knows about. Between this and the random touch sensitivity issues all I can say is that google is lucky I'm already past the full refund period, or they would be getting this tablet back.
[Nexus 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] 6opuc:
I am not sure about fix for EAP-TLS. I tried all of the workarounds and it does not work. Perhaps that is why patch is still not issued.
[Nexus 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] skdzzz:
Same problem in my work wifi network with the Nexus 7, my Nexus One and other iphone or android devices working fine.

I do not want to root yet my one day old device to avoid problems with the warranty.

So bad that google does not pay attention to these problems that are really annoying for the new users :/

Managed to get it working

Hope this helps ...

Managed to get nexus 7 connected to 802.11 wifi. So now Nexus 7 automatically switch between home wifi and corporate wifi. To have corporate wifi connectivity I needed to add the CA certificate (Ask your network administrator for it) in the tablet directory structure. No need to root the device for that. just follow instructions at the following instructions:

To install a certificate from your tablet's internal storage:

Copy the certificate or key store from your computer to the root of your device's internal storage (that is, not in a folder).

Go to Settings > Personal > Security > Credential storage > Install from storage.

Touch the filename of the certificate or keystore to install. Only certificates that you haven't already installed are displayed.

If prompted, enter the key store password and touch OK.

Enter a name for the certificate and touch OK.

Typically, a CA certificate included with a client certificate is installed at the same time. You can also install separate CA certificates using the same steps.

If you have not already set a pattern, PIN, or password for your device, you’re prompted to set one up. The type of lock that's acceptable may be predetermined by your system administrator.

You can now use the certificate that you installed when connecting to a secure network or for client authentication with Email, Chrome, and third-party apps. After a certificate is installed successfully, the copy in storage is deleted. (source: support.google.com)

All items as quoted above were entered except for phase 2 item.

Security type: WPA2-enterprise

Network authentication method: PEAP

fast Roaming enabled with PMK caching

Encryption type AES
[Nexus 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Lateraltwo:
EAP may work, but not TLS

I see that your authentication works, but for example, my school uses CA certs for their 801.11x network that work with TLS as a phase 1.

Successfully installing the CA cert and properly identifying the signal do absolutely nothing for my tablet other than give it an authentication loop.

Have tried multiple times at re-installing the certificate to see if it was just not done right the first time to no avail.

It's the TLS authentication library on the device (at least that's what the code.google bug report page says).
[Nexus 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] kthung:
I'm not sure if this will really help those of you at work, but I was having authentication issues on my home network as well. I discovered that I was able to get around the authentication bug by connecting via WPS (Wifi protected setup). Just go to wifi settings and hit the symbol that looks like two arrows in a circle. If your router supports WPS it should have a button with the same symbol. Just press and hold until a light comes on and you should be able to connect just fine.

Not sure if it's related but after updating to 4.1.2 I can connect to my work wifi now that uses 802.1x with PEAP=MXCHAPv2. FINALLY!
[Nexus 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] mmaassen:
I can confirm that updating to 4.1.2 did solve my problem with connecting to the Wi-Fi at my company. We use 802.x PEAP MVSCHAPv2 :good:
[Nexus 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] jonnyg000:
Yup, the 4.1.2 OTA fixed it :highfive: .. only took the Android team 3+ months to release a patch after root cause was identified.. how agile of them..:cowboy:

'Tis a shame corporate has since banned the use of N7's for business use because of the WiFi issue in Stock 4.1.1. :silly:

I just had to submit a re-eval request on 4.1.2+ in order to stop blocking the N7 MAC's from the network.. ( that should only take about 1-4 MORE months to get the device re-reviewed, approved, and enabled.. yay :eek: ).
[Nexus 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] joe_the_mean:
I am confused on how you got your Nexus 7 fixed. My work's wifi network also uses Dynamic WEP 802.1x, but even after updating to V4.1.2 I still can't connect. (Although I could with my old Galaxy Tab running V2.2)

Encryption: WEP

Security: 802.1X EAP

EAP Method: PEAP

Phase 2: MCHAPv2

The network shows up as "Secured with WEP", but if I try to create an identically named network with 802.1x settings (or start with a bogus password for WEP and try to use the WifiACE app to add the 802.1x settings), I still just end up with an identically named network that is always "Not in range".

What did you do after the V4.1.2 update to get it to work?
[Nexus 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] mr70ss:
I'm getting the same thing on my nexus.. did you ever find a way around this problem?
[Nexus 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] joe_the_mean:
I have not found a solution as of yet.
[Nexus 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] c4103:
my experience with this issue

I've been working on an Android app professionally over the past two years and have dealt with this issue extensively. Our interoffice wifi network currently uses an 802.1x WEP PEAP using MSCHAPV2 and a security cert. At first, the only way we could get Android devices connected was with WiFi advanced. The code that it uses is available though if you look around, and I eventually made a standalone app that will connect to our WiFi network in 3 steps programmatically using android.net.wifi.WifiConfiguration. It's the same code that WiFi Advanced uses. I don't believe this issue is isolated to JellyBean, I believe it is a hardware specific issue. I first encountered the problem on the Galaxy Nexus using ICS 4.0.1. One of my coworkers later had the issue with his ASUS transformer on JB. Now, we are encountering the issue with the Nexus 7. I also have a couple Galaxy Tabs here, a 7.0 plus and the 2nd iteration of the 7.0 plus. The 7.0 plus 2 was updated to JB, and my code still works to connect to our secure WiFi on it. One of the main underlying factors here seems to be ASUS hardware. In my extensive logcat reviews (I won't post the whole logcat here because frankly I think it's annoying when people flood threads with code and logs) I found that it is mostly failing on retrieving the saved password for IEEE auth from wpasupplicant. My closest guess is that somehow this is handled differently with ASUS hardware. I've yet to find a true solution.
[Nexus 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] kreutpet:
Currently trying to connect my nexus 7 to our corporate network.

Seems that we are using dynamic wep.

I rooted my device collected some logs from the device.

The infos can bee found code.google.com/p/android/issues/detail?id=36284#c30

to make it short it seems to related to an hw driver issue.

W/wpa_supplicant(23482): EAPOL: Failed to set WEP key to the driver.

Is this driver '/system/lib/hw/keystore.grouper.so'?

In this posts it was mentioned that deleting this could help.

code.google.com/p/android/issues/detail?id=34212#c222

Do somebody know who is maintaing that driver?

/peter
[Nexus 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] kreutpet:
To give an update :

the /system/lib/hw/keystore.grouper.so is not available, only the /system/lib/hw/keystore.default.so is available.

Seems to be the software based backup.

Any hint?
[Nexus 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] joe_the_mean:
In the same place you posted your logs, Google stated the issue is caused by a broken driver.

code.google.com/p/android/issues/detail?id=36284#c21

I am guessing they started using the new broken driver with ICS, as I have heard of little to no success from anyone since that version's release.

I guess one possible explanation for c4103's success with a Galaxy Tab 2 running JB might be that Samsung hung onto using the old driver in their releases (either because they knew about the issue or just because they are Samsung). I am curious to know the answer to that.
[Nexus 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] c4103:
"W/wpa_supplicant(23482): EAPOL: Failed to set WEP key to the driver." - This is definitely the error I was seeing across the board with devices that were failing. I think you guys are definitely on the right track. I've done a bit of searching, but haven't been able to come up with any differences in the WiFi hardware between these tablets. How many different pieces of WiFi hardware exist in the android marketplace, and are they consistent within a particular model of tablet? If this is the case, shouldn't Google be able to address this fairly easily on the Nexus 7?
[Nexus 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] kreutpet:
Well i am not sure, but there are a lot of statements that it was working in 4.1.1 or 4.1.2

Maybe i am wrong with that, I was not able to verify as my nexus came already with latest version.

Maybe i can find a way to downgrade to the version that was working according some users statement.

Just saw an update in the Google Issue 36284:	802.1x WEP encryption with PEAP, EAP-MCHAPv2

"Broadcom has identified a regression in driver, fix will be part of next update. Target date unknown at this point."

To be on the safe side i wiped her phone immediately.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] 95Z28:
That was in 2010 in case you were wondering how far behind you've fallen ;)

Anyways yes there are some apps that state they will place an icon on your home screen, its just a more intrusive way of advertising so they can make that money. The ones to be concerned with are the ones that don't forewarn you about push notifications or shortcuts, because then you may not know to look for an alternative. Of course if you read some reviews, like I do you, you can usually find out about these things before downloading.

Download and install AirPush Detector and Ad Network Detector from the Play Store. They always help me identify apps that cause problems.

Ok guys I did some reading around and found out that HTC doesn't take warranty claims even if its not a software fault(after unlocking the bootloader). Now some people told me ,in India , warranty is not voided by unlocking your phone . I have a small yellow stain in the bottom left of my screen .it is only visible on white screen but it bothers me very much .Should i go for a warranty claim ?please help me ? If not a warranty claim ..what should I do? is there a way to fix it myself ?

I live in India .

Edit : hardly pressing the screen where the spot is kind of reduces it .

I've got the same exact problem with my hox.

However my situation would be a bit different because I live in Europe so the rules about warranty aren't the same.

I think the only time I've had to boot Windows is when I tried to theme a few apps for my phone. I've yet to find a decent Mac equivalent to zip7.

[Verizon HTC Droid Incredible 4G LTE] Pons:
It *should* be possible. The bootloader just locks the boot partition for one. Just not the system partition which is where ROM root access is. I'd have to go over it with a fine tooth comb to figure it out, just don't have the resources (or time) yet.

As of now, no one has a method of rooting the phone without unlocking the bootloader through HTCDev.com. However, HTC no longer supports unlocking the bootloader on this phone, so everyone is SOL unless you unlocked before they dropped the support.
