Using my Tilt from AT&T I swapped out the stock ROM for the Sleuth v3 ROM and haven't had a problem since. Well until now. This morning I realized that the WiFi wasn't connected when I went to get a file from my email, normally it's just easier to do that rather than download it to my PC and transfer it. But when I went to activate the WiFi, the WiFi turned off immediately after establishing a connection to the router.
I know it's not the router, the PC I'm using right now is connected to it, as are 2 other PCs. I tried connecting to another wireless network, but the WiFi on the Tilt does the same thing - connect then deactivate.
I'm pretty much stuck and I was wondering if anyone had any ideas?
*edit* Sorry, forgot to mention that up until now I haven't had an issue with the wireless.
*edit2* Using the internet sharing, I'm suddenly now connected to the wireless network? Maybe I somehow blundered my way through... I'll experiment and keep this post updated.
my Trinity 3600i got same wifi issue as yours before. but It seems recover after I reflashed a new rom.
Ok so now I'm not really sure whats going on. From Comm manager, I click the WiFi button and it starts to connect. Once it does, the WiFi is disabled within 1-2 seconds of connecting.
I tried the Internet Sharing option with my Tilt hooked up to my PC and instead of connecting to the EDGE network, it connects to the wireless network. When I look at the comm manager screen again, the internet sharing is disabled, but the wifi is enabled.
Same thing is happening to me. I connect for a second, and then wireless lan disables itself. Using dutty's WM6.1 WWE with radio 1.58.26.20. I have another att tilt with the same problem (I unlocked it one earlier today). I'm going to try messing around with my router a little more.
Anyone got any ideas?
edit: apparently, if it's connected to your computer via usb, if you turn on wireless lan, it'll shut itself off. Then if you unplug the usb, it'll turn on. boy do I feel stupid.
ah haha, i totally forgot about the USB wifi thing, i usually dont let it connect when im connected to the computer so i forgot about this x.x very sorry i couldnt have helped about this ealier
I just hope this addresses your problem Elm0

Hey everyone!
I've just bought a new at&t tilt and determined a problem. I couldn't connect to the internet through neither my home wireless router (netgear), nor any free wireless routers in the apartment building were I live. I connected the tilt to my router, but I wasn't able to acess the internet. I tryed to change different setting but everything was unsuccessful. After I called to at&t( probably 10 times or more) I was told that I can use the wifi connection only within certain special at&t "hotspots". Is it true? Can I somehow remove this restriction?
Thanks,
Mike

Not true. You can use any wi-fi - just like your laptop (assuming it's unsecure or you have the security code). Is your wi-fi turned on via Comm Manager? Are you using the stock ROM or have you flashed a new one? Is your wi-fi set up correctly via Comm Manager (search for Comm Manager and WLAN setting on the forum).

I had the same problem when I got my tilt. After just fiddling around it started to work and I really didn't do much that would make a change.
Use the connection manager and try the wireless settings to make sure it sees your wireless networks.
Power it down and turn off the cell portion and just have wifi running.
I too am having problems with WIFI on my new Tilt at my home location. I have flashed the stock HTC rom (WWE rom: 1.56.405.5 / radio: 1.27.12.11) and everything on the device works perfectly. Even before that I had tried to connect using the AT&T rom, still no luck. I can get the WIFI to connect and stay active, but when I open up internet explorer or opera mini I cannot get any pages to download. I can get a connection from other places that have wifi, both secured and usecured networks and the Tilt's wifi works fine. I have other WIFI devices connected to my home wireless router and they work perfectly. I have tried playing with all the settings on the phone and even on the wireless router, still no luck.
Any help greatly appreciated.
Thanks
I just tried your suggestion about turning off the phone side of the Tilt, and having wifi running, still no luck.
You are not alone
I had the same problem as you. I tried different configs on my router. I could not even connect to other open wifi spots. I was finally able to connect after flashing to another rom with a different radio. I have tested about five roms so far. Wifi worked most of the time. I am using Dutty's 6.1 and it is working like a champ now. It seems as though many stock Tilts have that problem.
I may be wrong, but I think I remember reading somewhere that the rom and radio version do not really effect WIFI?
I got my WIFi working! First I updated the router through Netgear. Then I went to a friends house that uses a secured router as well. Then I slid the WIFI to 'best performance'. Then I successfully connected to internet at my friends house. Then I came back home, signed in to my secured router, and voila! It works like a charm now. Pretty fast too.

what radio version do you have? i have unbranded version but i still having the same problem... br
My Fix
So I had the same problem. Could not connect to home network after ROM. Go to "wireless manager" at first the icon for wifi would not allow selection. I selected bluetooth, closed it, then wifi could be selected. then select settings in wireless manager, if your network is unsecure, just next, next, finish. I was then connected. hope this helps someone out.
I've had a few problems with wi-fi. I've seemed to narrow them down to using unsecure/secure networks. I've found that my Tilt doesn't like to play well with "B" unsecure. Tested this with an older D-link, and Linksys "B" router. Haven't really had any problems with "G" networks.

Does anybody know why mi tilt doesn't connect to any wifi connection ?
What happens after you try to connect?
it connects to the wifi network, but non of the programs connect to the internet, for example IE says that "the page cannot be found, check the name an try again" and that's with any page.
Wifi no-connect with USB activesync turned on
With activesync via USB running, I see my WiFi is connected but cannot connect to IE pages. I think activesync creates its own network connection to the HTC. When I dosconnect the USB, everything is OK again...
it dosen't work without the activesync either
Do you get this error when connecting to ANY WiFi point, or just the one in your house/work/whatever?
I get the error when I try to connect to whatever with the wifi connection
Yeah I am having the same problem.
did you try setting your wifi power mode to best performance?
It's set to the best performance
and still noting
i have the same problem, but i discovered that works sometimes.... i dont know if its a Wireless N interference or something like that... i have a Wireless N at home, and i cant connect to any hotspot detected at home (more than 5), but when i go to a coffee store, there i connect smoothly.... its strange.... at home doesn't ask for a password when the router is set to WPA2 or WPA....
does anyone know why this happens ?
change radios
Install another radio. My stock tilt would not connect to any wifi. I tried another rom and then it worked without any issues whatsoever. Make sure you use full power setting.

Is your Wireless N running a mix of B/G/N? Or is it running N mode only?
If its the latter, the Kaiser can only connect to B/G mode.
I have a g1 rooted with cyanogen 4.04 and I can connect to my wi-fi and use msn messenger for example. but everytime i try to use the browser to surf the web, after a couple of minute it disconnect and ****ed my router, so I have to unplug and plug my router to make my internet work again, so I cant use wifi with my g1 right now...I dont need a data plan sinceim always near a wireless network...I need help on solving this problem.
Ps; Im using a t-mobile g1 with fido network.
reflash the rom. that might clear it up.
ive already tried , its not the problem...anyone havin this issue...
I still need help ive tried everything and its doesnt work...
The problem is I can connect to Wi-fi like all day and stay connected, but once I try to go on the market or use the browser I get a disconnected after few minutes and need to unpug and replug my router to make my internet work again...Im using wpa and cant use wi-fi at home, but at a friend house who is using the same d-link router but with no protection work just fine...
Hi there, i've been trying to get wifi to work on my x1 all day. really annoying!
I've got a netgear wgr614 as a wireless router. The x1 finds the wireless network. but when i put in the RIGHT wep key, x1 simply goes from available to connecting, and shortly after to available again! neither ie nor opera works.
Then i deliberately tried a WRONG wep key, no popup saying it's a wrong key.
so then i switched off wep, leaving wireless network unprotected. I tried to connect again, futile! goes from available to connecting to available again! I tried options such as Internet, Work, using PEAP option and what not. Simply won't connect to my network! strangely enough, i plugged it to pc with usb cable and it loads webpage, finally. But i really need wifi! Any thoughts? Many thanks in advance! this is driving me crazy. should've got an iphone
Forgot to add, I use the generic UK R3A rom.
anyone will contribute some input? greatly appreaciated!
have you tried to change from wep to wpa and restart the procedure?
When I 1st got my X1 I had the same WiFi connection problems.
A soft reset of both devices (phone & router) mysteriously fixed it. It's been fine ever since.
Specifically, my D-Link Wireless N 150 Router
I was able to get by the opening screen by connecting with my neighbor's open wifi.
With my own, I input the correct password, and it showed "Connecting" for 3 seconds, then just ignores it and says "Saved"
This is frustrating, as my laptop and HTC Desire S works perfectly fine. What can I do? I even reset the router to have no password, and it still doesn't work. It stops trying to connect and just says "Saved"
sigh.. nothing I try works.
So now my laptop is connected to my WIFI
my phone is connect to internet via USB to my laptop
and my Nexus 7 is connected to the hotspot created by my phone -_____-
The only WIFI it won't connect to is my own. This is ridiculous
What security settings are you using, encoding on your access point.
I tested a lot of access points at the house and have not had issues with any of them.

Also, have you just simply rebooted your router. Since it connects to others without issue.
Even though your laptop connects, it already had that connection. And the router may not want to give out another address via dhcp.. Just try unplugging router, and plugging it back in and then reconnect. Stupid as it sounds.

I had a similar issue, mine would tether to my phone but not connect to my home wifi. It would show as "connecting" then would say "saved". I hit the reset button on my router and it connected with no problem after that, might want to give that a shot and see if it works. The rest button on my router was on the back and needed a paperclip to push it.
Try WPS if you have it.
Ok, disregard this thread, I'm a fool :silly:
Even after disabling the password I still couldn't connect. While I was showering just now, I remembered why:
2 months ago my neighbors were stealing my WIFI.. so i specifically only allowed the IP of my laptop and phone.
No wonder why it could not connect at all even without password
Sorry for the new thread guys. Just got my Nexus 7 for a few hours, and it's perfect. The left side of the screen is raised a little, but I can ignore it just fine. The screen has no dead pixels and I'm happy with it.
Thanks all!
Good to know it was something simple. Might want to change the OP subject to Solved.
