Yes, it's a known issue but seems to be random as to whom it affects. I have it, too, and I haven't seen an actual fix except checking the registered IP address for your phone on your router (or something like that).

EDIT: ^^ Seems I have slow fingers.

Yeah I had Apex 10 running for almost a whole day. Downloaded the HC mod and it just made my phone go HAYWIRE. No big deal. I can get it into recovery with 3 button and my JIG too.
[Captivate Android Development] XeoNoX:
It happened to me all 3 times i flashed my phone with STOCK apex 10. That would mean i was using DarkCore 4.0 JVS kernel and wifi was just in and out. Im running DDWRT on my router, my router shouldnt really matter in this case, its clearly a bug with the some driver/coding issue in 2.3.5/apex 10.0.

I just flashed talon kernel 0.5.1.2 and same thing happens, wifi goes in and out.
[Captivate Android Development] sinichi21:
well i can post a honeycomb lockscreen if you want from the stock from the apex site

EDIT: here a link of the honeycomb it should work with apex 10 http://www.megaupload.com/?d=MSCDJXAR and it has the latest tsmpart too

oh well i guess thats beyond my knowledge i think just stick with 9.3 stable and no bugs you will just miss the jkay power mod thats all.
[Captivate Android Development] watsa:
It IS a JVS bug but the work around is to remove the reserved address from your router. Obviosuly you wont have a reserved address on other routers than the one at your home so this should not be a problem... Its upto you if you want to live with JVR or try to change something to get JVS

Ryan just provided me with pb3 beta 2 and it seems to work well.

Just to recap

Apex 9.x had no GPS issues for me with included GPS files, hellstorm config, or pb3b1

Apex 10 does NOT work with pb3b1 (which should be the included files), or stock jvs.

Apex 10 DOES work with pb3b2 or nexus 234 files.

I test to see if they work by deleting GPS data from angrygps, verifying lto files were removed from /data/gps/ and then doing a tracking test in angrygps and verifying lto files were recreated.

I live in gps hell so I get piss poor locks indoors but that process tells me the gps daemon seems to be functioning. I haven't had time for an outdoor test yet today.

Gmaps pretty much has the same affect as angrygps tracking test, it causes lto files to be created but shows me a 2500m lock because I'm indoors at the gps Bermuda triangle. Turning on wifi gets gmaps to lock within 20m usually. But there are nearby wifi networks that have probably been triangulated by Google (I see the Google car driving all over this town).

I have no real feedback on the wifi issue since I don't currently have a wifi network setup.

Just to add to this, it's definitely a JVS issue. I switched to another JVS ROM (didn't want to leave Apex), and have the same issue - Wifi disconnects very frequently.

fyi, until PD gets his 1.9 JVS version out, the addons seem to work ok with Apex10. I installed his market and google search bar without problems and both are working fine. I haven't tried the dialer or the themed swype yet, was dragging my feet in hopes 1.9 soon. :)

So disabling dchp should resolve wifi issue?
[Captivate Android Development] watsa:
It should. Let me know how it goes
[Captivate Android Development] doodoobrown84:
I will when I get home
[Captivate Android Development] know8677:
So I know how to get to the control panel for the router via IP to disable dchp, but my question is what else will I have to do.

I'm assuming this means that I have to statically assign the IP addresses, but I have no idea how to do that.

I know this is probably not the place for this, but there are people on here with this issue who may not be comfortable or know what to do about DCHP.

Kernel Choice?

I've been running the darkcore kernel(4.0 on apex 10), mostly because it was the one apex came with. Does talon still have the issue where it stops charging once the battery reaches 100%? Is it worth it to make the switch?
[Captivate Android Development] IlluminatedOne:
I was on JVS bootloaders. I flashed stock JVS (Odin flashable, with BL) and Apex 10 on top, I was having issues with WiFi. I didn't try to stay on JVS stock though.

[Captivate Android Development] watsa:
This pretty much explains what I said... It could be a problem with home your router but not at a public place since there is no reserved IP address for your device
[Captivate Android Development] XeoNoX:
TEMPORARY WIFI FIX for those with WIFI dropping in and out

Disabling DHCP SERVICE and making your android device static will work,...... but all you really have to do is disable DHCP reservation within the router, DHCP reservation means that you have statically assigned an IP address to a certain device's MAC ADDRESS, all you have to do is remove this one entry in the router...there is no need to disable DHCP SERVICE.

For new learners..DHCP reservation and DHCP Lease (time) are two different entries in the router also...remember you are looking for DHCP reservation or Static LEASES.

Those using DDWRT may find this option under SERVICES>SERVICES>DHCP SERVER>STATIC LEASES....good luck to all

About slow download speed with 3g/HSDPA I think JVS does not work well with 850 band. I found that when using the JVS modem my phone is always on 1900 band and the download speed is good but reception is bad.

When using JK4, KC1, KG3 modems my phone is on 850 band and the reception is great but download speed is horrible.

Wonder if this observation helps at all.

I can confirm wifi is a router issue didn't work at home correctly but I M at McDonalds Nd no probs at all
[Captivate Android Development] XeoNoX:
Its not a router issue, its is a JVS build issue in the way the JVS build's code for handling DHCP client requests packets from the DHCP server causing discconect...

I could almost put money its lies within the DHCPOffer DHCPAck DHCPRequest DHCPAck DHCPNak packets meaning the packets being sent out of order from the android client side or not in timely fashion.

in other words they JVS fails to comply with RFC 2131 and RFC 3202

This bug has the potential to be EXPLOITABLE so beware.

Workaholic dude u keep blowin my mind :D
[Captivate Android Development] DAGr8:
again , Im notsure how / where you take your info , butif that were true everyone woudl have issues with it I dont . my ip has been the same on my network using dhcp reservation forever ..

the i9000 phones ( not i897) have been having issues on GB ever sincce it came out they had to update there bootloaders otherwise it woudl break wifi .

it seem now on JVS the bootloader is what prevents the wifi from working (again not for everyone and some kernel also seem to allow them to have wifi working .. ) allthose that had wifi problems and that downgraded there bootloaders no longer have wifi issues .

this afaik have been a problem completely absent for us captivate users until now..

so i suggest for ppl to look at there home set up before blaming the release / rom .

I nore anyone I know that have tested has issues using JVP bootloaders and JVS based rom .
[Captivate Android Development] watsa:
Agreed bud, but if that was the case my wifi should have been broken... why?

I am on KF1 bootloaders

just need my theme back

and my phone did not like the jvs modem that people seem to like had to go back to KC1
[Captivate Android Development] DAGr8:
lol

either my english is that bad or im just confusing ppl ..

All im saying is the alleged JVS wifi bug is present ONLY for i9000

owners

that flashed the whole JVS release ( meaning including the bootloaders) other then that JVS is not responsible for any wifi bug .

witch in other words means us cappy users have no problem with the JVS rom .

Agreed :)
[Captivate Android Development] XeoNoX:
If u can replicate the wifi disconnect/reconnect scenario just monitor the server packets and u will see.. I am 100% sure it is not the router/dhcp server and it is indeed the client.

i can agree with u that it is not just specific to this rom but many others as well...i am not blaming anyone or any release. what i was saying is that due to the code break it is leading the device to not handle dhcp properly. However i am pretty sure the problem can be fixed a variety of ways from different layers as there is sometimes more than one way to attack a problem, it can possibly be fixed from the rom side, to the kernel all the way down to the boot, its just a matter of tracking down the root off the problem which i have no intentions of doing; ill leave that to Samsung or a determined dev. All i was saying is that it is not the router/dhcp server problem and that it is software problem on the phone and the code is breaking somewhere along the way but i guess thats what happens when porting and that's the fun of "testing" I.M.O.

FWIW (on the wifi bug) I'm on I897 BLs included in the Apex flasher (sometime in the 9.x series) and the wifi bug seems to only happen on my home router. Checked at work and my phone held the wifi connection successfully for a couple mins before I manually disconnected it. At home it cycles pretty regularly every 30 secs or so.

Will check into the router when I'm back home tonight & report.
[Captivate Android Development] caleb4992:
Yes but I like the look and I use the folders.
[Captivate Android Development] watsa:
The reason TW4 was taken out of ROM was freeze issues... The reason it is still included as an addon is because of people like me who are not heavy users of their phone and WANT TW4
[Captivate Android Development] t3chn0s1s:
I feel the same way. I love TW4 but as watsa stated I use my phone heavily and composing an email or sending a text would lock up my phone on TW4 but with TW3 it runs smooth as butter. It depends on what you value more. Aesthetics or performance.

[Captivate Android Development] Uncle Irish:
I've been reading about the wifi issues for 2 days now.

I have Apex10 on an Infuse running just fine, no wifi issue

Same on 3 co-worker Captivates with no wifi issues at all

On a hunch mentioned by one of the posters here, I cleared the reservations and flushed the pool on the router. All 4 devices established a connection and have been working fine since this morning. That said, this could be caused from wifi timeouts within the phone settings. What is the wifi sleep policy set to? (set it to never) If it is Off when screen off, it may have a problem reconnecting, since it tries to pull the same IP it had previously from the router. Does rebooting the phone help? Sometimes, but it shouldn't. Rebooting the router? It might, but it shouldn't. I monitored the connection status of each device, watched the request and watch the IP dished from the router. The connection was made and signal was available. DO I believe it to be a "ROM" issue? No. A "code" issue on the Samsung side? Maybe. I think it may be more of a policy issue on the Android side the way the refresh and lock is controlled. Could the refresh signal check cause a drop in signal and the phone fail to pull the same IP via DHCP and then get hung in limbo because it really wants that specific IP address? Why not, dlink has that issue built in as a "feature" on a lot of their products.

How many ppl are using a WRT54G Linksys router? There are known connection issues with dlink routers as well. They both drop connection and have to be reset often (sometimes once or more a day). Ever wonder why laptopA gets a better signal than laptopB using the same wifi in the same location? Different receivers, different rev's, different firmware. Too many variables.

I'm no pro, just making some observations....
[Captivate Android Development] topiratiko:
Time out very well maybe the issue

Sent from my Apex Blue JVR Samsung Captivate.
[Captivate Android Development] TonyStark R.I.P.:
taking into account all the issues folks are having w/ wifi (not being one of them though) I researched an alternate avenue and found the followin.

Changing the phones static ip to an assigned ip on your home wireless network works wonders. Even w/ my non issue my signal is much quicker to acquire and has better range within my house.

This can be done as follows:

>Hit the hard menu button on your phone and then choose Settings

>Browse to the Wireless controls section and then choose Wi-Fi Settings

>In the Wi-Fi Settings section, push the hard menu button again and select Advanced

>Press Use static IP to put a check in the box and then enter the network settings as per your own network (ex: 192.168.x.x)

While this works well in home, once you leave the house wifi will probably not work, so I found this fantastic app called Wifi Static from the market. This allows you to set a static ip at home and turn it off while on public wifi connections.

This may be the best fix for all with trouble until this is all hashed out.
