So my wifi will see networks, try and connect, then instantly disconnect and repeat. This problem has occurred for the last two roms that I installed. I don't think it is a problem with the rom because one, I havnt read so anywhere, two, i have tried installing and reinstalling and reinstalling again many many times. When I install a new rom, I always factory wipe, cache wipe, and dalvik wipe.
I am currently on Apex latest rom.
Has anyone else had this issue or know how to fix it? It is driving me crazy not having wifi!
EDIT
so it seems by toggling airplane mode on n off, the problem has been fixed. sorry for making this thread
so i thought airplane mode works, but it only did for a lil then keeps messing up. can anyone help please?

Don't know if this will work for you or not. Some have had success...
Go into WiFi settings and 'forget' your network(s), then reset your router/switch and then turn your WiFi back on. Sometimes it will reestablish with the right permissions.
ya i have tried that too. i don't understand what the problem is. I'm bout to just give up

My problem is similar, it sees my home network and connects (and stays connected), but when I try to access the internet or markets, it says network error and won't let me connect. When I switch back to 3g and WiFi off, now I can hook up to internet and markets.
I'm checking into my wireless router. It might be the problem, tho my wife's computer is hooked up wirelessly and it seems fine, no problems, so idk.

I have had my diamond for about 2 weeks now and the wifi worked fine for the first few days I had it. I did a hard reset to fix another problem and then after that the wifi didn't work. I may have changed a setting but I don't remember. I have looked at every setting that there is and I can't figure out everything. I know that there should be wifi working because I use it on my ipod and laptop. I have tried putting my battery to performance, but that didn't work. Any suggestions of what I can do or try?
you tried the usual? restart ur wireless AP/router? delete the connection on ur diamond, try redo it, does it pick up your wireless AP/router?
Does bluetooth work ok? If not, then its a hardware fault and would need to be repaired.
Yes, I have tried your method beany and my bluetooth works, I just tried and it works fine. I can not get wifi anywhere. My house's wifi doesn't work, and at the gym, it doesnt work. No networks at all even show up. I need a solution.
Go to Settings>Connections Tab>Wlan>Power Mode> Slide the slider to the far left (Best performance). Should fix it
happened to me too the first few times, even when holding the phone up to the antenna of the router it wouldn't connect. i don't know why the "best battery" option is even available
Yes, I know that. That was the first thing I ever did. It didn't help. No wifi shows up anywhere. Is there any settings that I may have changed in Network adaptors?
I need something because it is so annoying with no wifi.
same problem here. No Wifi... But Bluetooth works OK
Maybe some radio patch or something??
I really don't know what to do anymore. My Iifi stop working without reason. I saw some topic about it but it seems nobody now how to fix it.
Please, help me.
I have already updated everything, it works randomly if I reset my phone.
Thanks
Hello guys,
I have wiped my phone, and tried many, many roms, mostly Darky and Docs roms over the last year, and ALL of them have this wifi bug where sometimes my phone connects to a wifi, and other times I have to restart my phone and only then will it connect.
When it does not connect it says Turning on.... then says Error. I press again, it says Turning on again etc. Occasionally it connects eventually after I try again and again, but usually I have to restart the phone first.
Does anyone know why this is and what to do to fix it. It is very frustrating, especially when in front of an iphone fundementalist.
Help much appreciated!

i have this same problem
a fix would be so nice.
try different router.
if you have tried different Rom and kernel then it can't be that.
only your router or phone is bad.
**DamianGTO Steam kernel. 350MB Ram. 500HZ. all ext2. Steam Rom. Js5**
i find this problem is app specific. if i connect before anything is open its fine. if i open a 3rd party browser in edge data mode then switch to wifi while loading a page this error occurs sometimes. tested with 3 different routers and one sgs phone dxjpe modem

I get the error too. The only fix I found was to enter flight mode and then turn on wireless and then exit flight mode.

AAH I will try that!
It is not the router, I have the issue on every router I have tried. Ive also verified that Static IP and Dynamic makes NO difference at all to this problem.
I'll report back on the flight mode work-around... a lot faster than rebooting, cheers,
Mark.
Anyone know a fix for this bug?
Gad, at times like this I envy my wife's iphone, which JUST WORKS. My SGS has been spared me smashing it to bits out of frustration on several occasions...
I tried the flight mode suggestion, it does not work. The only thing that works is restarting the phone... which takes ages and Launcherpro has to be forced shut then restarted, media scanned etc etc... and only THEN can I try the wifi again, so its not a viable work-around.
Anything else to try ?

Hi
Darkys alternative wifi does not fix the problem. But my problem is not exactly like yours, my phone generally stays connected when it connects, where your connection stops working. Mine only becomes impossible to connect without rebooting sometimes. Occasionally it seems switching from STATIC to DYNAMIC or DYNAMIC to STATIC IP jiggs the phone's wifi somehow, and it then works, but often it just says Turning on... and nada!
Yep, a fix is desperately needed.

Hello
Having the same problem here. But let's just clarify. At least for me, and from the OP's description, the problem is NOT wifi not being able to connect. It is Wifi NOT TURNING ON at all. Takes a LOONG while with "turning on" and then "error" appears. Sometimes trying over and over again will fix it. Sometimes a full reboot, which as someone stated, is a royal pain.
Get this quite frequently. Doesn't bother me too much because it always works after the second time I turn it on (in the settings not in notifications) when it shows "Error".
Couple of things you could try:
Turn off Notifications under WiFi settings
Turn off Use Wireless Networks under Location & Security settings
My Wifi became a bit stable after this.
You could also try static ip addresses.
Had it happen last night. Went into task manager, killed everything that uses internet and retried it. It turned on immediately. Will test more to see if this is indeed a fix. It's still annoying enough, though.
bump
I have this problem for over 6 months. Any fixes anyone????
Maybe its a harware bug. I may take it into a Samsung Store
This still happens to me too...any fix? Is this hardware or something?
Had this issue when I was using SuperPower App where it takes control of the Wifi sleep. Removed it and never had it again. Any one of you using some sort of battery saver taking control of WIFI?
Same problem here
Same problem here on stock 2.2.1 ROM. Like others already mentioned, my problem is getting the WiFi to turn on. Once it is on, it's problem free, but turning it on sometimes takes minutes to only get an error. Mostly trying again, turns it on quickly. But this afternoon I tried three times without succes. Than, after reading a lot of forum discussions on this problem (we are not alone...), I tried turning off packet data and then WiFi turned on in seconds. This suggests that apps having an internet connection open could cause the problem. It also suggests that icejagans is right by stating to turn the phone into flight mode might resolve the problem. I am not running any battery saver, task killer or whatsoever that could cause this problem. Last Saturday I even did a factory reset to see if that helped, but no, it didn't... Getting really annoyed by this problem and I hope 2.3 will fix it!
Bumb!
Please does anyone have a fix for this? Does flashing a different modem help?
When this happens, I go to Allshare app and enable wireless (when asked), it always works
I've tested this with a3.5, Xron and Miui and they all get this problem. Maybe installing certain apps trigger this to happen but wifi will eventually slow down when trying to connect to a signal and will be essentially non functional since the OS will basically freeze and then tell you to force close wifi and it requires a wipe and fresh install to fix.
Has anyone else run into this problem?
Check this and see if it helps you.

I don't think its the same issue. In those instances you can still try to change which wifi signal you want to connect to, I think it just loops from connecting and it would disconnect. I think this issue is common and dropped connections occur as well.
But I'm talking about a situation where if you even try to enter the wifi options it will force close.

Before I changed it, it would take forever to get it to release the connection. I just kept hitting "Wait" rather than "Force close" it would take several minutes but would eventually come up and allow me to Forget the network.
It sure sounds like the same, not saying it is, but very similar.
I experienced this problem for the first time yesterday in area where was about 20 WIFI networks. Never ever it happened in my house on A2. A3 A3.5 or XRON2.8
http://rootzwiki.com/topic/13779-now-i-believe-that-there-is-wifi-problem/
I have the same issue today, Wifi setting is forced to close, and cannot connect to any Wifi signals. I think it's a bug and it related to the time or date. Because I didn't do anything and it just happened.
No new apps install, no setting changed, and the device was keep on, so it just happens.
Hope someone can find out where the problem is...so sad this happen on New Year's eve....
i have this problem also, the solution i found was letting the touchpad go dead and than begin to connect wifi again.
Similar wifi comments here: rebooting [or maybe toggling/other disconnect] with wifi on/remembered would get it into a state where it was scanning and connecting over and over without really ever working. this was only happening once it was 'remembered'. Going through the wifi settings to forget in this state involved hitting 'wait' a few times and then i'd reboot and readd. 1st wifi connect is always solid for me.
I've found: market.android.com/details?id=com.brilliapps.wifiandmorefixer
Does the same thing except it is one click. I rebooted after the first go, but now no longer. i run this and then readd wifi - all set.
hi:
yesterday i puton xron latest build.
seem fine at first-- connected to wifi etc.
at some point, it disconnected and stuck in loop of scan, connecting, disconnect,
w/ force close or wait..
after much googleing etc.. (seems there are complaints about this for latest build),
i used uninstaller/ reinstalled w/ xron 2.5
doesnt help atall
as with other ppl, my webos connects fine
i did reset modem and router but that didnt help either..
i really want to try this android and could use lil help here..
thanx
Did you try to just reboot? Also check time.
I'm using 2.2 and don't have such problem + probably there will be new version soon

i got the same problem, i tried switching my router channel to a number below 6 and then restarted into webos and then booted into android. That worked for me hope this helps.
Touchpad Wifi in connect loop
Just thought I would add my experience.
At work it hung all day. Tried a variety of things. Finally did the following.
Settings > Wireless & Networks
Airplane Mode : On ( did it from here not power menu )
Once set, WIFI should be off.
Wi-Fi Settings
Wi-Fi Turn Off
Then was able to delete connection and re-add
Everything works.
This may be a coincidence but prior to this would always get Force Close/Wait dialogs and was unable to Forget network connections.
Wondering if anyone has had this problem - suddenly I cannot enable wifi on my turbo. When I switch the toggle to on, it immediately jumps back to off. Tried a reboot and no luck. Anyone know what to do?
I'm having the same problem, but it's only at work! My wifi connects fine at home but at work it will say connecting then just stop. I looked at my advance settings and I see my phone is not showing an IP address. I'm trying to download WiFi Fixer from the playstore and see if that helps.
Update: It did the same thing with Wifi Fixer. Deleted it off my phone. I hate having to resort to outside third party apps to "fix" a phone issue anyway. I'll keep trying...Let me know if you find a fix.
