[Q] Wifi Disconnecting in Gingerbread - Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

My wifi is constantly getting disconnected. I have to reconnect many times a day. This is really getting frustrating. It was working fine(very much FINE) on froyo 2.2.1 xxkb3 rooted and deodexed but after i updated to 2.3.4 gingerbread, this problem began! Is there someone who might be knowing what the problem is????
First i tried stock XXKPH, then i tried after CF root and after that i thought a custom ROM might help so i installed GanaROM but wifi is not working properly in any one of them. It is getting diconnected if i don't use it for like 5-10 minutes. And i have even turned the wifi sleep policy in the advanced wifi settings to NEVER. But still!!

USE CONNECTIFY v1.20

I have the problem like this. Can you try to ping 8.8.8.8 from console of your phone? I have almost 80% of lost packets. If you will see this, you have to change your WiFi router. I've tested my phone with 3 routers and only with Asus 520GU I can't use WiFi with GB (with Froyo all is perfect)

Yes, I have this problem and still don't have solution. That's why I'm at Froyo. I don't want to change my home WiFi router if I'm not sure that the phone will work with new one.

[Q] Need Help with WiFi

I am running aospmod 9.7.
deca's latest kernel ( CFS )
Setcpu set at 710 max-245min
i can connect to almost any router except for one
I am sitting a few feet from a buffalo nfinity highpower router and I can't even see it with my hero.
The bad part is that the two Iphones that co-workers have can connect without a problem

I am using aosp's stock kernel and I have that exact same router with no issues. I am using WEP encryption. I have no suggestions, but thought if you know what is working it might help.
i got it fixed. that router for some reason doesn't show up if it is configured as an access point.

Well, at least you got it
now i am having problems with it again.
I can't see the router anymore.
if i restart it i can see it for a few min and connect to it but then it fails.
I tried to wipe and re install 9.7 but that didn't help either.
I am taking a lot of abuse from these Iphone guys.....

I have two Buffalos, both set up as access points, and I can connect to both with my Hero.
Firmware issue with the Buffalo?
Unfortunately This is a work router so the IT guy is not giving me access to the router settings. I am going to try a different ROM and see if it is truly the router or the phone.
The IT guy has an Iphone so he is really laughing at me now.
Try changing the wifi setting channel in CM6 go to wifi settings and hit the home button then hit advance and choose try a different channel its 11 by default hope it helps

i did and nothing.
i was wondering if there was something i could change in the build.prop or some other file.
I would try a different rom also I remember being @ a hotel in Houston and I could connect to the network but no access until I realized I had to go open up my browser and accept the terms and what not of there network don't know if this will help but thought I'd post it in case it might also try a diffent kernel good luck

tried liquidsense tried cm6.1 tried and will stay with aosp 9.8

[Q] Wi-fi Problem - ANNOYING!

Hi all, hope I'm not repeating a past thread.. But I updated my Galaxy S to 2.2 and now my wifi doesnt work. It worked perfectly up until a couple of days ago, after I factory reset the phone (2/3 weeks after updating), I have checked several times and my password is correct. I searched this issue up, and it appears I'm not the only one who has this annoying problem.
If any one could help me out, I would greatly appreciate it! Would love a nice easy fix, bit of a noob

Be brave and try another rom like darkys 8.1 if you dont like it you can always flash it back to stock with odin as long is your phone can get into download mode by press vol down+homekey+power button at same time if not theres a fix for that done it for my mate phone works like a treat, hes now rom happy lol
try http://192.168.100.1/ to get in then just clear logs
use to hack modems with Haxorware had 4 at 20meg going love virgin lol
Apparently Android is not behaving correctly with respect to DHCP lease times. Sometimes my Galaxy is unable to connect (it tries to connect, but immediately gets disconnected). I either solve it by turning WIFI off/on or of that doesn't help: a reboot of the phone. After a reboot I can always connect to my wireless network.
These DHCP issues can be worked around if you use static ip-configuration.

[Q] Do have the same problem? (wi-fi)

Hello.
I've tryed many ROMs that are here in xda: Froyobread, GingerDX, GingerXperia, kuyaDROID, xGin, etc... And now I am using Stornmix with stock kernel.
But in all this ROMs I've had always the same problem: wi-fi.
My wi-fi connection works good during 1 or 2 minutes. Then it stops working and I can't use the browser nor the market or other app that uses internet connection.
When I turn off and on again the Wi-fi, the internet connection comes back good, but the same happens after few time.
I even tryed 1 wi-fi fix that i've found here, but didn't solve my problem.
Have you guys experienced this problem too?
Any clue how to solve it?

It is already that way.
Always have been.
Delete the remembered connections.Sometimes too much of them cause problems.
There's a compatibility issue with WPA-AES encryption. It's been discussed here and somewhere else (official SE forum i think). Not much to do about it...

Scratch the "AES" and make it "EAP" ...
IF AES would be a problem I think no one of us could connect to their access points as WPA/2 actually uses AES for encryption ...

I had a similar problem with GDX back in the days of v012 onwards. The WiFi connection wouldn't completely die but only go through a disconnect/reconnect loop every 2-5 minutes (unless I used "Wifi Static" to set a static IP configuration for my access point).
I solved the "disconnect/reconnect loop while using DHCP" problem by switching to another WiFi channel (my Access Point automatically determined channel 1 to be the best choice ... I later on switched to channel 11 and the problems fixed itself) - sounds weird, but worked.
You may give it a try.
On the other hand we already had weird WiFi problems which really didn't go away unless one flashed back to stock (where the WiFi suddenly worked flawlessly again) and changed over to the custom ROM again from there.

Thank you for your help, I'll try that and see if it improves my wi-fi.
And yes, as I can remember, it worked nice with the stock rom.

[Q] Wifi Connected but not working!

WiFi is working on 2 other sgs2s but not on my NOTE! It was yesterday but not anymore! i tried everything, flashed another ROM (was using criskelo v4.1, flashed CheckROMv5) in vain! The weird part is that if i go to facebook in browser it works but nothing else works. No app, market, kitchen app, nothing! All works on 3g! It's extremely frustrating and i can't seem to find any answer anywhere!
If i start browsing with 3g then enable wifi, it works. I don't know what to do and i can't keep using 3G, it's extremely expensive in my country!
It started when i flashed UltimateKernelCleaningTool from http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1363738&page=13 before flashing AbyssNoteKernel35bOriginalLogo.zip.
Any clues?
Try assigning Static IP in WiFi Settings.
If everything Ok on device side, you may try to reset your Router. perticularly if mac protection enable, this issue occurs.
no mac protection is enabled on router, and if it's a router problem shouldn't other devices be affected by it? Laptop connected with internet, bro's sgs2 connected with internet, sis's sgs2 also!
could be kernel related, tried a different kernel?

yes, i tried abyss3.5b and cf kernel la4!
i prefer cf kernel since it has all functions enabled like 3 way torch and loop capabilities (no other kernel has those)! I've been using the cf kernel ever since i got my NOTE 2 month ago and never encountered that problem before!
Just want to share my experience. i faced similar problem today. I connected to WIFI in my office but was not working. Then i started browser and realized i need to login to cyberroam for WIFI to work. Everything worked smoothly thereafter. Hope this helps !!! Goodluck !!!
any firewall rules enabled on router? or any IPS/filter enabled?
i use droidwall, i tried disabling it but it didnt work! I tried browsing directly after clean install (no app installed) still didn't work! 3G works great.

Wi-Fi poblem in JB ROMS

After the wifi fix ( thanks to all devs who worked hard for that ) I am able to connect to my wifi.
But the problem is, I am not able to access my internet. The problem is the same for all JB ROMS(CM 10, miui v5). All I get is short bursts of access to internet during which webpage loads for a bit and just sticks there. Can't access the playstore too. It just gets stuck at signing in.
My wi-fi is good as I am using the same on my laptop.
Can't seem to figure out what the problem is and am sadly stuck on ICS.
Any help would be great...

I don't have this problem ... so its just with your phone try to reflash the ROM
It's just you. Noone else has that problem.

That's what confuses me...How come is it only me having this problem..
I have tried flashing the ROM for 4-5 times now but each time it's the same...
Have tried doing complete wipe, with and without wiping /system, tried both prometheus and NOPE kernels but the problem persists.
And its the same for cm10 and MIUI v5...haven't tried any other JB based ROMS.
Maybe i shall try to turn off security in my wifi..(can that by any chance be causing it??)
Tunring off wifi security can only cause people freeloading on your wifi. I dont know about the problem.
You could turn off password authentication and filter by MAC address, just to be safe and be able to test at the same time. Although, I had no problems on connecting to secure networks. There is an authentication problem on reconnect, though.
Finally solved..
Got my wi-fi to work finally....
The problem apparently was with encryption....got an idea from this HOX thread
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1989203
I earlier used to have a AES+TKIP encryption with WPA-PSK authentication....changing network authentication mode to OPEN made it work instantly.
But open connection = freeloaders...so tried a combination of WPA-PSK and TKIP and it worked too...haven't checked it with AES...
Finally wi-fi is working...
Thanks to everyone who tried to help out....i really appreciate it...

Further the wifi now disconnects only if no wifi related task is continuing and the phones locks up.
If a download is going on, it continues even after phone gets locked.
Just thought I should share that...
EDIT: airplane mode trick + wifi keep alive app (kudos to webhijacker for finding it out) does solve the Wi-fi issues..

And for the authinticating problem you can solve it by turning on airplane mod then turning off then tada
