hi guys..i'm having problem with my N900 wifi..i'm using PR1.2

first of all..the bug about wifi fixes in PR1.1.1 was still not fixed..which is i still have to reboot my phone several times to get the wifi working..

whenever i tried to connect to the internet,its either the wifi connection doesnt appear in the connection list,or it'll say "network error (or something similar..)"..

the wifi i'm connecting to is my home connection..i've set up the connection in my N900..pls bear in mind,i've tried to restart the router..setting it again..but still the same..i could connect using other laptop,my n95,HTC HD2,Touch PRO,and E72 without any problem..

this happens not only with my home connection,but in some free wifi areas as well..

when it works,it works perfectly..no need to restart, no disconnect or network error..but when it doesnt work...man.........getting it to connect takes like 5 or 6 times restarting and pulling the battery off..

secondly,if i failed to connect,my CPU usage suddenly cranks up to 100%..whenever i looked in HTOP application,the wlan0 process is taking up 100% CPU process...


how do i kill the process?i tried "killall -9 eapd" but there's no process to kill..i'm sick n tired of this wifi bug man..pls help..

any solution to both problem 1 and 2?pls.. felt like crying whenever i'm trying to connect to wifi..

2 threads :P - lol.......

I know you are on PR1.2 - but have you actually flashed the device + the emmc?

Hi,
since I installed PR1.2 I have the same problem with my home wifi connection.
I have to restart several times in order to resolve it.
I experienced also, time to time, problems with the desktop: sometimes it seems frozen: running top I see Xorg process and hildon something taking more than 10% cpu usage.

Any ideas ?
Thanks.

Ahhhhh - seeing the above about Xorg and hildon - i'm recalling a bug! ... Pretty sure this is a known issue!

yes..Xorg does takes some processes..but i tried looking at HTOP, the program that takes the most of the cpu is

user : root
CPU : 92%
command : /usr/sbin/wlancon.... (cant view the full process..how do i scroll to the left?)

now how do i kill this?

Have you tried installing the P.R. 1.2 and eMMC with flasher?
That was my first job when i bought this phone and so far i'm not facing any wifi issues.

I installed PR1.2 by OTA and I didn't have any problems during installation.
One1002 did you do the same ?

I don't want to think that I have to flash the firmware when I have an automatic procedure to do that via OTA.

i doubt its the firmware..because this happened too in PR1.1.1..

i didnt flash the eMMC..do u think i need to flash it?

In your situation i would start from a clean installation that includes both OS and eMMC just to be sure that no application is causing trouble. After that i would try several Access Points and if i still have problems i would send it back to nokia.

flashing from the sold firmware to the same firmware just downloaded from the internet seemed to make my device alot more stable in genral i would advise it to any one.
