Good Morning,
For some reason, recently the wifi on my phone isnt connecting...i constantly get "optaining ip address"
At first i thought it was something with my router, but my phone is doing this on open networks and on my friends router.
It was working perfectly up until about 3days ago.
Any ideas on what i can try?
I have the exact same problem and am looking for a fix as well.
It starting happening to me after I updated my radio version to 3805.x.x.x because the phone wasn't working on the previous version.
I had the same problem with CM7 Nightly #66 and 67, but after i updated to Radio 20.2810.30.085AU_3805.06.03.16 i don't have that problem any more.
Now my WiFi connect and gets a IP very quick.
Update:
So I've tried 2 things without any luck.
1- I found on another forum that updating the kernel helped a few people. So I flashed 2.6.35.14-Tiamat_IncS-v1.1.2. That didn't fix the wi-fi.
2- I took jkolner's advice just above and flashed a radio for a 2.33.669.2 RUU. Although nothing else broke, wi-fi was still a no-go.
I will keep searching and post back any finds.
SOLVED
Previously I was running CyanogenMod7 7.1.0-RC1. After trying the 2 things posted in my previous post, I proceeded into trying CM7 Nightly #68. At the moment I can now connect to my home wireless network.
I'm so happy to get wi-fi back! And I hope it will be able to help others as well!
Last month i was on holiday for 3 weeks without any WiFi in range, so i know how it is to do with no WiFi ;-)

Hi everyone,
I was driving from Wash DC to Montreal about 3 weeks ago. Once I got to Syracuse NY my N1 just froze. I took off the battery and then it wouldn't boot. ( I was running frf50 + froyo radio since the first day it was leaked). I thought maybe a routine wipe would fix it. It didn't work. I was out of options and had to wait until I get to montreal to use a laptop and see whatsup. Once in Montreal I downloaded a Rordriguez Froyo and the phone booted up. Now the problem started. Wifi doesn't work. Whenever I turn it on it says unable to scan for networks and then another error pops up saying " Sorry! Activity wifi settings (in application settings) is not responding." I tried a million different roms and radios and the problem persists... Yesterday I flashed another froyo rom and wifi worked and actually connected to my home WLAN. Then suddenly it stopped working again... Can anybody help me? this is so frustrating, especially since I have only 2 bars of EDGE in my basement. I think it might be the Wifi driver that is causing all this. If somebody can link me with the Wifi driver I might be able to fix this problem...
Thanks!
PS: All radio related stuff work ( bluetooth, 3G...)
if you flashed a lot of roms....and it didnt work, chances are its a hardware issue, not a wifi driver issue as thats reinstalled with all roms
hi, I bought a second hand tattoo last month, the previous owner installed azusa 1.03 on it but wifi didn't work at all (I was able to switch on the wifi) So I flashed with the last Azusa ROM (1.04).
first the wireless worked fine, but, I think after a reboot, the phone wasn't able to get IP address on every AP I tried. however I can connect a wireless network if I set a static IP on the phone...
any idea to fix this, please?
(sorry if it's a problem to post it a second time, but I don't know if the problem come from the ROM or not...)
Well, I have the same problem with the wifi. It sucks cause this rom is really fast and non-functional wifi is the only deal beaker... Try to contact the developer Coburn and ask him. If you reach him, tell him that I already posted a log of the problem on the project's site.

Any news on this? I really like the ROM but not having wi-fi completely kills it =\
None so far... And I doubt that there ever will be a fix for the issue. I abandoned this Rom.
hi, I didn't find a real solution for my problem... I just installed an app named "wifi static" and I set the few network config I use usually, it works, but I can't connect to any free hotspot easily.

Try rebooting your router.
ive done all that. i just went to a few friends houses and it connects fine to all of their wifi one being the same ISP. so something happened to my router or accidentally changed a few settings. other than that i have no clue. the error i used to get is disabled secured with wpa wpa2 psk, and now after messing with a few things it just says disabled.
Used to be a common issue in 2.2 based ROMs, atleast in the ones I tried. Switch to a 2.2.1 based ROM.
When mine does that I usually make the phone forget your router, disable wifi, unplug router, plug it back in and then turn wifi on and find your router. Works for me hope it works for you.

updates? mine has d same issue, that's y Im connected via static ip now
I figured out how get it working. I download fxr wifi fix and rescue from the market and it actually fixed it lol. Basically the process put you in air plane mode, and removed all the previous remembered wifi connections. It has to do something else because I tried that a million times manually but I'm not complaining. Worked like a charm
I know some people use roms. But I haven't really looked to much into them yet. Any recommendations? I've seen a few on YouTube but some major features were not working. And where do I d/l them?
that solution worked for me. thanks
What's up guys, first of all I've looked up for that problem on the board and none of the topics are helpful.
Well, I've got SGS with CM9 nigtly 2012-05-06 with the IcyGlitch kernel. I've checked different modems and kernels and nothing. The problem is connected with the wifi. However it is only about my router. Somehow my phone and router don't like each other. The wifi speed is really slow, to download something is a miracle, facebook sometimes even doesn't want to log in. The problem started after I installed cm9. I've tried many builds of CM9 and none of them helped. I don't wanna wipe the phone and install another rom, I just want to fix it, if everybody can work without any problems, I also can. My router is D-Link 524. I've tried other cell phones and they work fine with the wifi. Also I've tried other wifi connection like at my university and it works cool.
What can you advise me to do ?
Hello everyone, since I got my cappy I've been delighted by it, it's an awesome phone, even more so when you get to root and update it, now here's the problem: my wifi keeps acting up. First it was the autenticating loop, now my cappy connects but doesn't send or receive any data. I know it's not my router since I have other wifi enabled devices and they can connect and use the wifi properly. Been trying changing from WPA to WPA 2 and auto, no luck. Been trying setting static IP, no luck. It just... sits there connected and not sending. He worked properly in stock, hence I tried going to stock, and then reflashing, no luck.
I used cyanogen and slim bean, with custom semaphore and cyancore, and different basebands (namely ugkg3, tubjv6, bvjjw2) I hope someone can help me on this since this is the only flaw I've encountered so far with this awesome phone.
Thank everyone in advance, and have a nice day.
EDIT: Forgot to add, when I freshly flash a ROM it works perfectly... Until some time passes (around 4 hrs) or until I attempt to download something higher than 20 mb+. Then the issues start.

Wifi drivers are coming from the kernel, therefor, I'd suggest other kernels. If that doesn't work, try another ROM (like AoCP). If the problem still persists, I'd suggest flashing stock KK4 and starting over.
Hey! Thank you for your suggestions, yeah I've been seeing some improvements using unofficial semaphore so I'm sticking to it right now.
God I love this phone. Haha. Thanks again.
