I have a Tilt with the stock AT&T ROM and HardSPL. I keep the HSDPA data on all the time and connect to my wireless access point while at home.
I understand and am fine with wifi disconnecting in sleep mode - email still checks using HSDPA. What normally happens is when I power the Tilt back from sleep the WiFi connects back to my access point.
I've noticed more than a few times however that coming out of sleep WiFi doesn't even attempt to reconnect to the access point. It is on in Comm Manager and appears to be associated with my AP, but checking the IP online shows an AT&T IP addr, not my CATV provider.
The only way to get back on WiFi is to shut off the phone (or reset). I don't want to keep WiFi on while in standby, I just want it to reconnect when it should.
Has anyone seen this behaviour?
Cheers,
Todd
Wifi access point problem
I had a problem where suddenly after months of use with my home wifi router, it suddenly would not connect with the router anymore. Would show that it was trying to connect, and then would suddenly not connect and try another router on the list.
I tried reseting and everything. Tried re-entering the password for my router as I thought that was the problem. finally the only fix i found to work was to actually delete the access point from the phone... then reset and then let it find it all over again from scratch. And miraculously that time it worked.
I know this is not exactly your problem, but hope it helps.
I will try that and see what happens. It seems whatever sub-routine that turns the wifi on isn't running at times and doesn't even attempt to search.
please help me my g1 cant detect any wifi access point on my area.. there are 3 hotspots here with good signals strenght.. i don't know what happened to my g1 it just keep on scanning but it doesnt detect any wifi access point..
I used to own a G1 and I thought that the wi-fi connectivity was very poor on that device. All I can say is to either retry by turning on/off the wi-fi and see if it will connect. Hope that helps.
did you try re-flashing the rom?
Had exactly the same problem, some roms picked up my wifi connection and others didn't, from the wifi menu in settings select advanced. Change the amount of channels from 11 to 14. Phone picked it up no bother then,
Hey, in the last few weeks I've run into a very annoying bug on my phone. Wi-fi turns itself off after about 2 minutes. It doesn't actually "turn itself off" in the phone - and by that I mean that the wifi icon is still there, and I can see the signal strength, but the internet won't work.
In order to fix it, I have to turn the wifi off and then on again.
I've tried using the Wifi Fixer application, but it doesn't help. It can't seem to detect when I lose my internet connection.
I've also troubleshooted it, checking that it occurs on different routers/types of networks.
I'm sure it's a problem with my phone, but I dont really want to reformat my phone until Froyo comes (since I don't want to have to install all my apps twice).
Is there any solution to this? ;z
I'm on stock rom, JF3, with OCLF.
I have the same problem with my phone. My Wi-Fi at home works just fine, but when I go to my brother's house, I seem to occasionally lose internet connection even though it shows that it's still connected to the Wi-Fi. I have stock Bell ROM with OCLF by RyanZA. Oh, and to fix it I simply turn Wi-Fi off, and then on, and it starts working again.
Bump :x
Anyone have a solution?
Hi,
I'm a proud O2X user.
Only issue I'm having right now is that WIFI won't start all the time.
Sometimes I enable WIFI and it gives me error.
Sometimes I enable WIFI and it directly works.
Most of the times when it ain't working, I soft reset and WIFI is powering on again.
I had this same issue on my DHD. That was caused by the kernell. So I think it's the same with my O2X. I'ma wait till 2.3.x cause I don't use WIFI that much. And If that doesn't fix the problem, I'ma make use of the VIP service.
Other people expierincing this issue.... ??
After I installed Juice defender I think it got a little more diffecult to connect. One time I experienced that my accesspoint in the list had status "Deactivated".

Mine is still stock not rooted....
And when WIFI does power on, it does connect to my accesspoint.
The funny thing is even trying to enable WIFI with hiddemenu doesn't work then aswell....
Got my O2X two days ago, and Wi-Fi reconnection after sleep mode simply doesn't work. It times out waiting for an IP address from the DNS service, disconnects, connects, waits for address, and fails again. Turning Wi-Fi off in Wi-Fi settings, and then turn it on again, solves the problem. Peculiar and annoying.

Same problem here
I called LG yesterday.
The 2.3 will be a big update.
Many thing should be fixed.
He noted:
E-mail client will be fixed.
Some lag in the UI would be fixed.
WIFI should be fixed.
Better powermanagement.
So hope these world will be true.
Or else I'ma trade it for a HTC HD7
Got the same problem, WIFI works sometimes and suddenly it doesn't.
Sent from my LG-P990 using XDA Premium App
This can be router/access point related. Using WPA2 Personal encryption causes my O2X to lose WIFI connection after a short while. Therefore, for those of you with problems, try disabling WIFI encryption (only for testing) or try some other encryption method.
If the phone wont connect to a open/non encrypted router or access point, then the problem lies with the phone (most likely but not for sure).
Try it out!

I got the "Deactivated" too. I got that when I had the phone Wifi sleep policy set to "When screen turns off". When I changed to "Never" it was stable. I have later changed to "Never when plugged in" and that has been stable too.
I will test reverting back to "When screen turns off" this weekend and see if the problem returns.

My WIFI won't start then. After Reboot it will work couple of times. But then again it gives ERROR while start WIFI.
I have had this happen to me the last few days, despite wifi working perfectly the entire of the first week I owned the phone.
I have seen both problems mentioned here:
Won't get past "obtaining IP address"
Switching it on or off says "error"
Also, in the case where it would error, I also noticed a significant slowdown. Plugging the phone and using ADB to read "top" gave me:
Code:
PID CPU% S #THR VSS RSS PCY UID Name
1284 49% R 1 0K 0K unk root dhd_dpc
19960 1% R 1 912K 428K fg root top
Which must be a rare issue as I could only find a reference to dhd_dpc messing up here, for a SGS owner who never got an answer.
Rebooting the phone always fixes these issues. Although sometimes going into airplane mode and out again will solve the "obtaining IP address" issue.
I only have the •Switching it on or off says "error" issue.
I figured out enabling disabling wifi with the LG Control buttons (in the notification bar) fixed this issue.
Now it is always working and not giving me error.
Back it the day with settings or the power management icons enabling wifi 9/10 times gave me error.

Did he mention when we could expect the update?
Btw, you should shut off the wifi-sleep in advanced settings, and the problem is solved. =)
I am a bit concerned..
My phone is connected fine to Wifi at home, and apparently this weekend I have used 91mb of network data!! I did not go out so my phone should have stayed connected to Wifi at all times. But when I wake it from sleep (only woke it when email or text notification came in) When the screen lock pops up there is the 3G/H icon that’s stays until I unlock the pattern – then the Wifi icon pops up….
Should it not stay connected to Wifi even in sleep, as how is it recovering emails and such??
I am eating up my 500mb allowance very quick even when on wifi!!!
I have had no problems with home wireless as my pc (on wireless) has over 500hrs uptime connected.

Just noticed this, see post above.
Where is this setting? I can't find it anywhere!
Don't worry ignore my prev 2 posts. Found the option. the "never" setting I would have through should have been dafault!

yes i have the same problem, but then i reset my linksys router, then it works again.
but i had the same problem with my htc hd2.
Same here.
I have turned sleep policy to never but wireless always drop in sleep mode (sometimes it just stop to reply to ping, other times it switch back to 3g).
I tried every different setting on router (beacon, auth, speed, channel...) and static IP, but still no luck :\
hi all. i am on android 6.0.1 build 23.5.A.1.291. My problem is that my wifi keeps resetting and searching. i am traveling so its not my personal router that is an issue. my tablet and laptop connect to the same routers here without issue but my phone tries to connect various open connections but immediately resets all connections and starts searching for them again. occasionally it connects for a second. the same issue occurs if is set my tablet as a hotspot so i doubt it is related to the available connections. also for some reason i don't seem to have any advanced options anymore to tell the phone to sop scanning. Any help would be much appreciated. so far I tried turning airplane mode on and off as it seems have started at the airport, reset all network connections , general powering down and up etc. nothing seems to work.
hey, i know this post is quite old yet i only found it now facing exactly the same issue. it all started at my parents when phone was suddenly not able to connect (exclamation mark on wifi icon in status bar). i restarted router but it did not help. when i came home i faced the same issue. both routers are different, different provider, etc. before the weekend all worked fine so not really sure what happened. not the phone (z3c) keeps searching for wifi, displays the list for a few secs and searches again.
i tried what was suggested in other topics, like here:
https://forum.xda-developers.com/z3-compact/help/wifi-issues-z3c-marshmallow-fix-t3390859
or
https://forum.xda-developers.com/z3-compact/help/wifi-randomly-disconnecting-575-t3435244
but nothing helped. now considering to re-flash the latest firmware. trying my luck here before i do so.
current sw on 23.5.A.1.291
update:
1) i tried to repair the phone using Sony Companion .. did not help
2) flashed it with the latest sw .. did not help
in both cases sw version was D5803_23.5.A.1.291_1288-5411_R12D. when phone starts for the first time it shows wifi networks. but just for a while, that it starts "searching for wifi networks..". when i select my wifi network, fill in the password and click connect it says "failed to connect to network". i can already see on the background that the phone is again searching for wifi networks. if i try to connect at the right moment network is saved. but then it does not connect. or sometimes it does but "checking connection" takes ages and wifi symbol in top bar keeps appearing and disappearing. at the end it shows error message "could not connect to internet".
what could be the problem?
