Hey guys, yes I've searched and read almost every post about Wifi and was wondering to see how many people are able to get Wifi connected or is my unit just defective. I've tried all tips people were giving and still no luck. Most of the time it'll be able to see what wireless router is available but when I try to connect it'll show unavailable. First I thought it was my router acting all weird, it's a Zoom ADSL by the way, but sometime I'll be out and locate an open unsecured router and it'll show the same thing when I try to connect. After a couple of second it'll show available again and same thing try to connect and becomes unavailable. Once in a blue moon it'll connect but once I turn it off and try the connection again it'll say unavailable. Is there something I'm doing wrong with my setting or is it just a defective Wifi. Like I said in the DOA thread at home I don't get 3G so Wifi would be a much better option but this bug here is really starting to frustrate me. All my other Wifi product works cept for this TILT. I use to have the stock TILT 1.57 - 12.17 rom and radio and now using the DUTTY touchFlo Beta2. Thanx for any help and I know this is probably one of many Wifi thread but I just wanted to get this frustration off my chest.
Friends,
I've been proud of my TYTN II for the last thre months that I've owned it... until recently though.
Last week, my WiFi connection stopped getting activated/swichted on. Howsoever, I may try, it would not get activated, leave alone discover the network.
I tried re-flashing it, soft-resetting, hard-resetting, I mean practically everything I could, but to no avail.
Has anyone faced this problem before, and found a solution to the same. Would appreciate if you could share the same with me. I really do not want to take it for servicing, as I fear it would take me easily a week to get it back if I take it to the Workshop.
Thanks in advance,
Atul
Let me ask a couple of questions.
Can you turn wifi on or do you get an error?
If wifi turns on does it see any access points?
have you flashed your rom on your phone?
have you tried another access point for wifi?
do you have any wifi applications installed like wififofum?
Hi Chumley,
thanks for the prompt response...
I do not get any error, not even any message hen I try to activate the WiFi. Just that the rainbow circle keeps rotating (hour-glass equivalent of indows), and then shows the WiFi is still inactive (small x near the WiFi icon).
I tried re-flashig with the latest ROM available on the HTC website, but to no avail.
Trying another access point does not help either, neither would it, I guess, since its not a problem of signal strength, as much as it seems to be of the Wireless on the Kaiser not getting activated.
No 3rd party applications installed either, after the last re-flashing, still no luck.
Anything from the above, that rings a bell?
If it does it after a flash I would think you have a defective wireless adapater. Sorry.
Guess it should not be a problem as mine is still under warranty... just abt. 3 months old. But my only worry is, as I mentioned in the original post, the time it would tk. to get it fixed by the Service Centre, or if at all it is a correctible problem... I think time to ask for a favour from a friend... a standby mobile while I await mine back
If you let it go free and it comes back, then it's yours forever.
Hello, same problem here:
two days ago my wifi connection stopped suddenly and cannot activate it from the comm manager. When I click in the WIFI Icon, rainbow circle keeps rotating and PDA perfomance goes down.
any ideas :?
Hueznar,
I've already given mine for repair at Service Centre two days back, and am still awaiting it back.
Shall let you know how it goes once I get it back
WiFi would not activate: Motherboard concked off
My PDA motherboard conked off... and it wud take 3 weeks to get it back with a new motherboard !!
Oh My God !!

@ Iatul
Are you sure this is the only reason & solution, for I have an IDENTICAL matter of the problem, but I never thought something was wrong with the HardWare..., damn I love HTC
I know I saw this thread too late (and finally) but if you please could respond with any news?
thanx
I'm not sure what is wrong with my Wifi...need help
I don't know why...really.
The comm manager stays on good, but when I try an access point it starts with the Connecting... then after a few seconds it stops and goes Unavailable.
My router works good with my bros and sis MAC books.
So I have no idea why.
Can anyone help?

ssid? is this in the router menu?
So.. I tried what you said and didn't worked.
I think it has to be something set in the edit options...
Could you help me?
yeah ssid is the id for the wireless network
i'm not sure why it worked for me... should'nt have made a difference.
have you tried different wireless channels on the router?
increase the power output?
sorry man i don't really know enough about it but happy to try.. pm me if i can answer your question i will
looks like this guy had a similar problem... have you tried what he did?

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.

By changing it to channel 1 in my router, it kinda worked..
It says Available now. Nothing else... The connect option it still there button left.
That's my update.
just in case letting you know that I disabled all MEdia net and ISP GPRS so I won't get charged because I'm not paying for my onlince services or any mobile plan with internet.
My brother told me that all WIFI connects directly to internet and it won't matter if I don't have a plan for mobile.
Correct me here, if im wrong.
Thanks.

Thank you... already tried that... I think my problem is different.
Hello, I kept on making a post for it until Iread everything that Icould but I can t solve this.
I have a Continental European G1, radio 1.3xxxx.2005, and the UK version.
My problem is that WiFi isn't working on any ROM, cyan (3-4 versions of it, the last months of ROM's made by him), SenseHero, KingxROM, Dwang, and mannnnnyy other ROM, I think I tested like 40-60 ROM releases in the last two months and Wifi hangs on all of them. There are times when market is loading after 1-2 minutes, but that's it, no app works over WiFi, Google Sync after a new install of a ROM worked, but that was it again.
I have e DLink DI-524 Wireless G router, standard Settings(tryed with upnp enabled/disabled), w/o and with secured Wireless, it always detects the network, connects on it but it isn't working.
Another strange thing that happens:
Let's say that I have WAP2(PSK) protection on my router, I disconnect my G1 from it, remove the security, so now I have an open network, until restart my G1 detects my network in it's last state, protected. This is really pissing me off, I have 100mb free and 0.4Eur/10mb in my contract with Orange, but at home I would really like to use my wireless, e.g. to use Gmote and so on.
Does anyone has any idea?
THANKS A LOT!!
Is this a problem with your network or all wifi connections?
I had the same problem
After flashing more roms than I can count to try and see if I could get wifi to work. Even unrooted and went back to stock then back to rooted and still had no luck. I finally called my carrier and talked to there tech department and they said it was probably a hardware issue. I have since had it replaced under warranty. Sorry but I'm pretty sure its the hardware so no matter what rom you flash it won't work
This can't be real, hardware problem? I bought the phone from a friend from France, because here in Romania I would have to pay double for it at my carrier, so no warranty for me...
Does anyone else has the same problem??
Yesterday I tested SenseHero 's latest ROM, I act. WiFi and Google sync'ed but twitter won't.... I hope it's solvable, I started collecting logs, I see in my router that the phone connects through very weird ports to different sites on internet, have to look into that, sorry for grammar mistakes, not native english and writing from my g1. Bye
Twitter sync have always been an issue. It should work after a few tries. I have wifi hangs a lot too, and I dont have a data plan either.
if you can post a logcat, it would help us pin down the issue
I was in the process of creating my first theme(YIPPIII), but I will test it right now. IT's coming.
EDIT: Here is the log, so, during a 5 minutes time, I started wifi, and tryed to search xda on google, anyhow, that can be seen in the log and then tried to download a app from the market.
Hope it helps, I'm really stuck.
THANKS!!!
Does nobody knows smt? this thread is sitting here a while now, should I try reflashing everything? maybe the problem is in the "lower layers of hardware" , radio, spl???
Sorry i couldnt find too much in that log (its a little long and im usually sleepy)
but it seems as though its not routing properly
it seems to be connecting to the internet, but not routing. Do you have DNS settings on your router?
My router connects through PPPoE and the WAN connection has some DNS's but that shouldn't count, those DNS's are the routers problems, the internet 'thrown' in LAN and WiFi should be and it is without any dns's and such.extremely weird...
So ever since I've gotten my Nexus One I've been noticing it drops out of a WiFi way too often. It does it both at home and at work on Wireless routers using the latest firmware. I've set the sleep policy to never go to sleep but most of the times I wake my phone up, I'll find it on 3G instead of the full strength WiFi it should be on. On 2.1 when I'd go into WiFi settings it would show the connection and say something along the lines of "Connection unsuccessful, tap to try again" and on 2.2 it just says "Disabled, Secured by blah blah blah". If I retry, it ALWAYS connects and WiFi will stay active for a short period of time before falling back to 3G.
Is there some way I can tell Android to retry the WiFi connection if it fails instead of just giving up? I've been looking through the WiFi API's on the Android Developer site and I'm this close to writing an application that will attempt to mitigate this issue for me.
If I'm within range of one of my pre configured networks, I want the phone to try it's hardest to stay on WiFi. If it loses connection, retry. It it can't get it after 5 retries, wait five minutes and try it again, don't just give up and mark the connection as disabled.
I've read tons of threads about people with WiFi issues and people always say "it's the router, it's the channel, etc, etc" but my WiFi works perfectly fine as long as there is a human to reconnect it if it drops.
Anyone else in the same boat as me?
ok so apparently I'm the only one with an N1 and a WiFi issue.......
I have the same exact issues.
I have the same issue as well and if it stays on I have to turn wifi off and back on so it will connect properly

same issue here. i had been looking for an app that would force the connectivity, but the market doesn't seem to have it. just a bunch of crappy wifi on/off switcher management apps. i'm surprised that no one has hacked this function or built an app for it.
It's certainly a very annoying problem. Mine will go to known good wifi networks, at work, at home and at other locations where my other devices work flawlessly. I have a coworker with the exact same firmware (we updated using the same file) on a nexus one that has never seen this problem, which I find odd, but I'm fairly new to Android. It looks like a software or driver issue to me, but as I said, I'm new to Android.
My device shows the known networks as "Disabled", but I can connect manually.
Looks like it's worth me coding up an App to fix this then.
what kernel are you using? i used to have that problem but that has gone away with newer kernels. unfortunately a new problem has arisen where after being in standby for a while, wifi shows as connected but doesn't have an outside ip. wondering if its my rogers modem or not.

Personally I wouldn't do any work towards writing an app to fix this since it looks to me to be an OS or driver issue that should be resolved in a future release (hopefully in very short order).
An app would really just be a band-aid, but I'm the lazy type and I can deal with using my cell ular data when I don't feel like reconnecting my wifi.
Full disclosure: I'm a crummy programmer and it takes me forever to write stuff so I'm usually less inclined to do it.

I'd rather take the time to fix it then wait for an update that may never arrive. Always fun digging into the API anyways
That's cool. I still find it a bit troubling, though, that some devices see it and some don't, using the same firmware, on the same wireless networks.
I guess it could be a board rev. difference or an app conflict or something. ::shrugs::
I have a similar problem. I use APNdroid to keep cellular data off and use wifi, but I continually have to reconnect wifi no matter what if I am not actively using it. Defeats the purpose of push email.
I downloaded APNdroid after checking data usage and finding that with wifi on there was still significant 3G leakage. Especially confusing with wifi set to never sleep and plugged in overnight.
On the plus side, APNdroid has netted me a lot more battery life, I can almost get two days and one night. I almost never use my spare battery anymore.
Just as an additional data point, I am having the exact same issue with 2.2 FRF83 (I had been on FRF50).
It looks to me like it is simply scanning all of the time and never associating with a known network. I'm not sure why it flags them as "Disabled", however.
Have you guys tried to set the "wi-fi sleep policy" to "never"
if not, try this:
Wifi settings->menu->advanced->wifi sleep policy->Never

Yeah, it doesn't help, that was one of the first things I tried. Any time I leave and come back, the networks show as "Disabled". It's a frustrating issue in that it isn't consistant. It's 80% fail, 20% work.
I had my g1 for a year now and just now got my n1. I havent rooted it b/c of this bug. At first i couldnt listen online radio b/c as soon the display went out it would buffer the whole time. I played with the wifi router and the n1 wifi settings an managed to fix it somehow, BUT when i wake up in the morning for some od reason it lost connection and never reconnected again. So i can hear online radio with the display out but after some hours w/o online radio and just in standby it loses wifi connection and never connects again
This issue is not new. There is a thread on the google forum many pages long. Nobody hase even a clue where it could come from. Some1 on the forum said if u call support they will tell its ur routers fault.
The n1 completly ignores the sleep policy settings.
I have rooted two g1s with goldcard and still using one w/o a problem.

Well, I know fore a fact it's not my access point. I am a network engineer and worked on wireless systems for years and debugging these types of problems is something I'm a bit obsessive about. This stinks of a software or driver problem to me. It could potentially be a hardware revision issue since we have a N1 that works perfectly in all scanerios.
I've tested this with the following access points:
Apple Airport Extreme
Apple Airport Express
Meru
Cisco 1231
Cisco 350
Belkin pre-n
Linksys WRT54G stock
Linksys WRT54G dd-wrt (I forget the build number)
Soekris Engineering running pfSense
All exhibit the same behavior, while my control devices (Apple iPhone 3g, Apple Macbook Pro and a MyTouch 3g running Cyanogen 2.1).
I wasn't aware that this was related to rooting, I'd be more than happy to move back to a stock ROM if that solved my problem. Maybe I'll try that today if I get some time.
Could you possibly post a link to the google forum you're referencing?
I'm currently digging through the alogcat output to see if there is anything interesting in there.
This issue is worse since I upgraded to 83. I'm actually holding off to try CM6 when it comes out to see if there is any better performance there. I'm not sure if he uses updated drivers or kernel that may give better wifi performance.
Just received my One in the mail today. After connecting to my home WIFI I started experiencing connectivity issues with all devices on my network. This thing is constantly pinging I/O. Screen shot of my bandwidth monitoring graphs from DDWRT'd router attached. When I turn it off I get great speedtest.net results and a quiet flat line on my monitor graphs. Turn WIFI on the phone back on and the graph lights up and speed tests take a dump. Any ideas?
my roommate's iphone5 does this, but it's intermittent. I'll be playing BF3 and notice lag spikes all of sudden. That's how I always know he's either home or connected to Wifi. Doesn't always happen though.
this has been constant since I turned it on at 3 PM today
My LTE did this to my network too, fixed it by putting in a $1200 Checkpoint security appliance lol, been running this way for about 3 months no issues. Somewhat of temp solution, but one of the benefits of working It, have to return to company. Still have not had time to dig deeper, just needed fixed ASAP due to fiancé getting frustrated that Internet always going down.

not a router issue. as of this morning I have powered off all other connected devices and was able to produce the same issue. Having constant I/O activity from a particular device is not indicative of a router issue. Something in the phone, service or app, is constantly pinging.
I haven't experienced this issue with mine. Been running the One along with my laptop, PS3 and Xbox without any problems. Using a Linksys routing running DD-WRT, fwiw.

just went out and bought a Linksys EA6500 HD Video Pro AC1750. Issue remains. As I suspected, not a network infrastructure issue. Now I need some input as to what phone services might be the culprit. Installed a data monitor app and have no fruitful information to share from that either.:crying::crying::crying::crying::crying::crying::crying::crying:
I bet if you have the Asus RT-AC66U you wont have any problems. It's $200 but man is it a beast. Plus it has AC and so does your new phone so I suggest it. I bought mine about 2 weeks ago and I love it. Allows me to have a network printer now and my repeater for my PS3 doesn't lose any signal strength at all. I get 45mbps from LAN and 45mbps from wifi and 45mbps from my repeater on LAN and wifi. Everything is at max.
Great router and I am always happy to promote a great product.
Just grab a copy of wireshark, install on a laptop or pc and filter out your cell to determine what its doing. Shouldn't frame you more than 5 mins.

I did a hard reset and am now working properly.
I apologize for not diagnosing the issue to find the root of the problem. I know that would have been useful. For now, the fix is HARD RESET.
Idk... I made sure my home internet would be able to keep up with me... Avg 115mbps

***UPDATE***
After the initial WIFI issues I had were inexplicably resolved with a hard reset, I ended up having a dead pixel and had the device replaced.
The replacement device was great out of the box, from approximately April 25th to May 6th. Yesterday, May 7 2013, I had a notification for an update to "Sprint Zone." I allowed the update. Upon the completed installation of the Sprint update my WIFI issues returned. I uninstalled all Sprint related services I could and stopped the ones I could not. Still the WIFI issue remained. I once again was only able to remedy the problem with a hard reset. There is obviously an issue with the relationship between Sprint software and the WIFI hardware, and it is not isolated to a particular device. The device was brand new at the time of my original post and has since fallen off the first few pages that get trolled. We are nearing one month in service of this device and I can't believe that I am the only one to have experienced it.
I want to know....
I am having this issue as well.
Really shouldn't have switched to Sprint as I am in LA and wow, the network is trash compared to Verizon over here. Unusable in most areas.
Anyway, rooted, on d3rpone , 4 different releases of it, same wifi issue.
I was getting the issue stock as well.
Still trying to analyze when it takes place.
A couple of quick ideas: First, you might want to see if whether it's specific to 2.4 or 5 gHz bands. I expect not, but worth looking. Also, maybe try disabling notifications in Sprint Zone -- maybe the stupid thing is phoning home a lot? Once you're sure you don't have a hardware problem, you might also want to consider unlocking and running Viper - that decruds a lot.

Thanks for the input. I will be switching to Viper if I have the issue again.
I did try selecting specific WIFi bands, as well as using the "auto" option. No change.
My phone never caused any issues with my DD-WRT router (Linksys e3000). Can't even replicate now.
