This started yesterday, Everytime I try to connect to my WiFi connection, it goes in a loop of connecting and disconnecting and finally it says "Avoided poor internet connection". for couple of days it worked fine but now it wont connect, i have searched and got to know that many people get this!
:unsure:CAn anyone help!!!

Basically what happens when trying to connect is that I enter the password and then it goes into a loop of connecting....authenticating....saved...connecting ...authenticating..saved until it finally gives up and displays the message "Avoided poor internet connection" ?

This happens to me with my freeXperia rom.. actually I tought it was fixed in the stable version :/
The only way to fix it that I found is to hard reset the device, after that it went smoothly for 2-3 weeks, until the same problem re-appeared, so hard reset again and so on.
It's kind of a bore to hard reset everytime but if you have some app like titanium backup pro you can save a lot of time and just backup - reset - restore all your stuff in minutes. Maybe eventually I'll find out what is exactly that triggers the problem and I'll manage to avoid it.

Use a root file manager.
Go to /data/misc/dhcp and delete all the files in it.
It will happen once in a while. When it happens, just repeat the procedure.

Since yesterday I noticed the same issue as discribed above. Unfortunately the solution only helps for the time I'm near an accesspoint. As soon I go outside and walk in a new safed Wifi area, my phone is unable to connect to wifi.

I am very disappointed because my phone will automatically use 3G and that will cost me money.

A hardreset is an option but in that case I have to reïnstall the 2 way authencicator for Google. This means that I need to create a lot of new passwords for my Google applications, like my Chromebrowsers on my different PC's, Picasa etc.

Thank you for your workaround.

I'm using CM 9-20130329-UNNOFFICIAL-pepper (I have an Xperia Sola).

Is this a bug on Sony models or is a CM9 related?

Can I make this an automated procedure everytime I disable WIFI?

I made this a little simpler (for repetitive issues)
1) Have a rooted phone
2) Install this: https://play.google....s.scriptmanager
3) Open Script Manager, go to your SD Card (or any directory) and press Menu/New Script
4) This will create a new text/script file (I named mine: clean-dhcp-data.sh), with this content inside
==script begin==
#!/system/bin/sh
rm /data/misc/dhcp/*
==script end==
The first line should be added to you automatically, I'm pasting here the full script, just in case
5) Tap on the new created file, at the property window  mark the star (favorite) and the second Icon named "su" (the green one, with an Android Skull like icon). This image is only an example from playstore, here the star is not marked.

6) The next time you have the Wifi issue, go to your Script Manager's scripts option, and run the script to clean dhcp directory

TODO: Make this an automated clean everytime the wifi is turned off or disconnected.
