I recently updated with JF1.51.. everything seems to work fine except my wifi..
when i turn it ON, it never scans the router, though my laptop could, in spite of being in the close vicinity of the router.. is this a known issue? can someone pls help?
is the SSID hidden? Try broadcasting SSID and seeing if that makes a difference. Try manually adding the network. Try downloading a program like wifi scan that scans for wifi networks. If that program can pick it up than the G1 should connect provided it is a compatible network.

Hi guys!
I have a Touch Diamond 2. It's great and certainly an upgrade from my Touch Cruise!
I have a strange problem though. Whenever I try to connect through 3G (T-Mobile Netherlands), immediatly after it makes the connection, it gives the dialog 'cannot connect etc'. 3G is truly connected but no data is coming in.
Now I have found where the problem lies, sort of. 3G works fine when I don't configure my home Wifi connection. Whenever I configure that, 3G stops working. It doesn't matter if Wifi is turned on or off. 3G does have a dynamic ip, where my Wifi connection requires a static IP. But I make all these settings in the Wifi part of the configuration screen, the IP details are under the 802.11 b/g network card.
This used to work flawlessy on my Cruise. Anyone have a solution? Thanks!
good morning. as you are with tmobile i'd suggest you are having the same problems as me with tmobile uk. for some reason tmobile sets up a proxy server in your 3g data connection setup, this caused huge problems for me but clearing it solved them all.
try this first and see how you go.
Possible, but where exactly do I change the proxy settings of the 3G connection?

Hey that's a coincidence, just read the same question at GoT
I have similar problems.
Now and than my HSDPA connection works good, but at some moment I just can't reach any website.
Disconnecting and reconnecting to HSDPA sometimes helps, and sometimes I just have to wait a few minutes and than it works again.
I also tried another DNS (OpenDNS) but it doesn't solve the problem,
Proxy settings can be found at (I assume your dutch):
Instellingen> Meer> Verbindingen> Verbindingen> Mijn proxyserver instellen
At my TD2 is no proxy set, so thats not the cause.
Hope sombody else can help!
Do you have a static IP for WIFI as well? I kinda found out that setting WIFI on dynamic IP solves the 3G problem, so somehow they must be connected. But this should be able to work, it's almost as if 3G 'takes over' the static IP from the WIFI settings, but the connection settings from my 3G are offcourse set to dynamic.
I had exactly the same problem with my D2. I also had it on my Cruise with the later ROMs. The official HTC 6.1 ROM did not have this problem.
I experience it when I set up my wifi 802.11b/g network card in the phone to have a static IP address and set the default gateway. If I use DHCP there is no problem.
Setting the wifi card up on the phone DEFINITELY screws up the cellular data connection.

I use a dynamic IP, for me it doesn't work.
With my dear old Wizard (MDA Vario) I had no problem at all with the same settings!
yup thought i was the only one with this problem need a fix for it soon man otherwise we are gettin bumped for not havin the settings coz we on t-mobile
I solved it temporarily by setting Wifi to dynamic IP, but this prevents me from connecting at work. I'll send HTC an e-mail, let's see if they are willing to hot-fix this one
for me i find that the web sites work but any app that requires to go online ie facebook, msn, sky fire etc jus dont work wen you try to connect online......... stupid t-mobile
My connection problems are gone.
Maybe I (we) encountered hickups with the T-Mobile proxy-server....
maybe You can help me.
I have a MDA V (germany T-Mobile) and i can not connect to my AP here at Home.
I have a ASUS WL500g configured as AP behind my Firewall/Router. All other device in my house, a Laptop, a Netbook and a 'WII' working fine!
All get the IP from the Router, the AP works transparent.
D2 will not connect. The Mac-Address from the D2 is configured in the AP, and i can see the router statuspage and see the MAC of the D2 sometimes in the list. But only as "associated" and never as "associated authorized" as the Laptop here in example:
-------------------------------------------------
Stations List:
-------------
00:23:76:yy:xx:xx associated <-D2
00:1C:BF:yy:xx:xx associated authorized <- Laptop
--------------------------------------------------
I configured a lot in the settings, but i cant get the D2 online with wifi.
Can someone plz help a bit?
-
other question: if i manage the problem some day, is it possible to configure the Networksettings of the D2 device in the way that the device only use USB and te WiFI-Connection to access the internet? I hat it that the device use mobile-internet connection without asking me to do so.
Same problem

I was experiencing the same problem, only with the difference that I am using 3 different Wi-Fi adapter settings every day (for 3 different networks - two with fixed IP and one with DHCP enabled. Most elegant solution that I came up with was a small, but very handy application called "WiFi Profiles". Settings for WiFi adapter are easily changed by choosing a profile that you want to use and applying it. Before you disconnect from WiFi network, you just set adapter to DHCP, and after that your GPRS/3G/HSDPA connection works like a charm. By the way, I am proud owner of Touch HD but I am using Dutty`s Topaz based rom V3.4 XTREME SHIP.
I'm getting WIFI connect..disconnect.continously (advanced settings set to NEVER off)
I just upgraded to a Virgin Media Superhub (WIFI and Cable modem built in)
I set the WIFI to "WPA PSK (auto)"
is this causing the problem
I am trying "WPAPSK2 AES" today to see if it fixes it?
Me and my house mate have a galaxy S and both phones are doing it.
is it my WIFI router or is it the Galaxy S's at fault here
apologies if this has been covered, i did a search but wasn't sure what to search for about this.
Cheers
@anyone
I tried WIFI tether and WIFI fixer apps but no joy
I had a WIFI connection before with my Netgear router in WEP. The super hub is a netgear router, i cant understand whats causing the problems.
its just connecting and disconnecting .
when ui set it up from scratch sometimes it works until i go out of range, then goes the connect disconnect route...
Also I unplugged the modem and turned SSID on (it found it and stayed locked) and then SSID off (it appeared to keep connection) ...? is this a clue as to why it keeps connect disconnect?
Any help welcome cheers
i solved this but I dont know how
i set up both to
WIFI to "WPA PSK (auto)
phone to wpa psk2
and then revealed the ssid in the modem. left it for a bit, then hid my SSID
it's worked properly for a few days now.
maybe it needed to do something to lock on?
....now if i could get my MMS working another story
I have the same problem... It's driving me crazy
all i know is this
get rid of juice defender if it's on
Turning The Virgin super hub on and off solves the problem temporarily.. faster than reboot the phone.
if your phone isn't rooted, don't enter the WIFI settings twice it can corrupt the wifi complexly needing a master reset!
also i set the Virgin hub to
WPA auto Broadcast SSID
also on Virgin Hub
settings
advanced settings
content filtering services
untick firewall and ip flood
i think broadcast SSID on your WIFI unit fixes it

Reflash?
Sent from my GT-I9000 using XDA App
are your setting for the phone and WIFI the same as the ones i posted above on the other posts?
I flashed CM7 and it works perfectly
http://download.cyanogenmod.com/?type=stable&device=galaxysmtd
give it a try...(you need to be rooted)
do you know your firmware version? i have the same problem. ive tested and the wifi sleep policy doesnt work at all!
my wifi reconnects every 59 seconds with sleep set to never. its the same with sleep set to never when plugged in. sleep when screen turns off doesnt work and is exactly the same, reconnects every 59 seconds and doesnt sleep at all. not as far as ive seen (watched for around a quarter of an hour before getting very bored). I dont know if this is anything to do with it but if you watch the WIFI scanning the Connection resets after every 10th scan. Im using a Belkin router but as said ive tried on several different WiFI connections and the drop out is always the same.
im using jvt firmware and semaphore kernel.
my phone was froyo before and wireless was fine before flashing.
ive spent a week on google with this. there are hundreds of threads and even vids on youtube. as yet though no fix.
ive changed router settings at home. with no improvement. the reconnection happens whenever im on wifi and i cant see mcdonalds letting me rummage through their router.
As far as i can figure the problem started in the jvs firmware. I havent tried jvs but there are a couple of google results saying that since updating to jvs wireless reconnects constantly.
same as above......
HELP!!!!!!!
Its driving me mad!
FIXED at home. Changed Belkin Routers Lease Time from "Forever" to "1 Hour". Guess outside connections will depend on what the Routers Lease times are set up as.
However the "Stop WiFi when screen turns off" still doesnt turn off Wifi at all (as far as I can see, as now tested for over an hour).

i have such a ****ty router and cant even set up the lease time
well im going back to jvr..
i believe they changed some wifi drivers in jvs and jvt and thats why some phones get this bug..
Does the N1 have 5GHz wifi like the Samsung?
My home LAN is 5GHz only, so I don't disturb the neighbors with my video streaming.
No, 2.4 only...
Ugh.
OK so I turned on the router's 2.4GHz, but with broadcast SSID off. My N1 wouldn't even try to connect. So I turned on router SSID and it connects AES.
I do -not- want SSID broadcast on, as Windows machines' lazy active scan will find me. Sure they'll never get in, but I do not want broadcast on.
Has anyone succeeded in connecting with it off?
When I am connected wifi and open a website on the phone, does it go over wifi preferred over 3G?
I want to share the SD card with a machine on the LAN. What's the best way to do this? FTP? Reverse SSH tunnel? Is there a sshfs for Android? EDIT: NM on this one.
Yes, I remember connecting to a WiFi with SSID off, when I had Nexus.
It is pointless to keep SSID Broadcasting off. It is super easy to find your SSID anyway, and it causes all sorts of additional problems (like the one you are seeing above). Just keep the network secure and it makes life a lot easier.

Ok, but sure passive scanners like Kismet will still see me, however 90% of scans are done with an active scanner like Winduhs. Of course I'm using WPA2-AES, but I want to take every measure possible.
Now I find that whenever I have the phone connected to wifi, I lose -all- internet access. Just times out. 3G is still on and wifi is showing connected, but I can't get to websites. As soon as I turn off Wifi I can access the internet again through 3G.
With wifi I -can- access the wireless router's setup webpage from my phone, which tells me I am working through wifi, and I can remotely mount the phone filesystem on a LAN machine using sshfs, but I can not reach anything outside. Any idea why?
Does anyone know whether, when it's working right, it uses the wifi connection in preference over 3G?
The WiFi is ALWAYS preferred to 3G, which means - when you're connected to WiFi, all the internet traffic is routed through WiFi.
I don't understand then, why all data traffic stops to the outside when wifi is connected. The rest of my LAN gets outside fine, just not the phone.
If you can see LAN computers and exchange data with them - it's not the phone that's making problems. See if you have any restrictions in your router.
Oh FFS, my fault...
I set my IP statically for my LAN, and through some alert troubleshooting I found I can ping IPs outside but not DNs. I'd mis-set the DNS server in wifi settings. Now it works great!
I can now use sshdroid to mount my phone's filesystem on my LAN securely. Now, if I could only get it to wifi associate with beacon off...
It would also be nice to mount a filesystem on my LAN to the phone, although I consider the phone unsecure and question the wisdom of that, even with DroidWall running.
There is a market app that lets you connect to a hidden ssid
Sent from my Nexus One using Tapatalk
Cool, but Market is FCing on me. I did a complete reinstall of the newest MIUI.us, and now Market's FCing again. So can't install any Market apps.
As someone else said, turning SSID off is pointless. It's like taking the numbers off the outside of your house and thinking people driving by won't see your house sitting there.
Apparently you didn't understand what I said here:

If nothing else, please just respect my decision in this regard, or give valid proof that active scanners are not the preponderance.
Hello,
I got the 2.2.1 SuperBled Rom installed on my G1.
Since a few days i cannot use the connection over WiFi.
after turning it on it finds all the access points around and also builds up a connection to my router. i get an ip from my router and everything seems fine.
but i cant use that connection, nothing is working, no market, nothing through the browser, no mails etc. the connection is displayed as connected all the time.
i have not changed any settings on the phone nor on the router.
it worked fine before. it also doesnt work with any other access points like at my uni or friends place.
i can still use the internet through mobile networks.
any suggestions what the problem might be ?
thanks in advance
cheers
I am having the exact same issue but a Rooted Nexus S with CyberGR v10.
Hi, when I woke up today I noticed my phone wasn't connected to my wifi anymore. I checked the router after restarting it, and restarting the phone, and all of my other devices are connected normally to both separated networks. I started looking through the wifi list, and all I could see is my 2.4ghz network. It is able to connect to that and it works normally. I checked wifi analyzer and I couldn't see any 5ghz networks when using it, only 2.4ghz. I read someone mentioning a snap in Lego style connector related to wifi, is this a possibility? I'm able to take apart the phone, and I need a battery anyway probably. Thanks, any help is greatly appreciated
