I'm not sure if anyone else is having this problem, but after my phone has been on standby, the wifi disconnects. I assume this is normal, battery-saving behavior. The problem is when I wake the phone up, it's hit-or-miss in that it doesn't connect back up all the time. Sometimes, it'll connect without user intervention. Most of the time though, I'll need to pull down the menu and select the "wireless networks found" notication to bring up wifi settings (connects as soon as the settings comes up). This has not happened with any other android phone I've owned... just the Bionic.
I'm still running the stock ROM, though rooted. I'm considering putting DroidTheory's deblurred on, but the phone actually behaves pretty well, so I haven't yet.

Go into wifi settings and click the menu button and advanced settings. I would change your wifi settings so that wifi never sleeps. You will actually save more battery life being on wifi then having your cellular radio on. Just turn off wifi if you leave your house or place where you use a wifi connection.
Try "Y5"
It'll turn your wifi off when you have no remembered wifi in the area. I believe it works by cell site recognition.
HINT: When you are configuring a new protected/secured wifi turn Y5 off until you have the passkey typed in to make sure the phone leaves wifi turned on enough time for you to enter the key.

^This - wifi sleep policy.
The problem with this phone is that the radio stays on when on wifi. If you really want to save battery, flip on airplane mode THEN wifi.

I tried everything here and non of it worked, plus making sure "USE PROXY SERVER" was unchecked and, it still didn't work.
So I got to thinking about what type encryption I was using on my router. I knew I was using "WPA" just didn't know which one.
Opened router settings and, it was set to "WPA2 Personal" set it to "WPA Personal" with same password and, my WiFi has been working ever since I did this.
Hope it stays this way!
I guess this phone wasn't meant to connect to WPA2 Personal connections. Can someone confirm this to be true?
I hope this helps someone out.....
I have 3 Apple routers with WPA2 and the Bionic works fine with them. Also on a Netgear high-end router with WPA2.
Geek stuff coming:
If WPA is what works, that's great. WPA2 is preferable, but only because there is a weird and esoteric possibility of capturing a WPA passcode using the TKIP encryption used by WPA (WPA2 uses AES encryption, or, technically, CCMP). However, if you go into the router's settings and change the WPA group key timeout (or it may be called WPA group rekey interval) to faster than 11 minutes, that will prevent that exploit from happening. (Changing to WPA with AES as opposed to TKIP would also be fine, if the router supports it. However, that may have been what was causing your issue with WPA2, so...)

Thanks for the article.
UPDATE:
After further investigating the settings on my Linksys WRT160n w/DD-WRT firmware. I saw that it has an option to enable TKIP+AES and that was selected.
So I changed it to WPA2 Personal with just AES selected, whola it has worked like this too.
I'm glad to have it working with the better encryption settings.

This must be an issue with Android. My Eris would have problems connecting to routers using TKIP+AES, but I figured that this would have been fixed two years later. It's weird that it's not.
Thanks for posting the update. Now at least if somebody else reports a similar issue we can have them check this setting.

Here's a couple things to try that I'm doing and I've had no problems since Day 1 with my Bionic.
If you're using WPA2 use the PSK variant.
Download and install the free WiFi Analyzer from Google market. It's great when dealing with WiFi networks in general-not just your own.
Next look for the Market App 'WiFi Connecter Library' by farproc (it's a helper app-not a stand alone program)and install it. It adds some nice features regarding saving WiFi settings and automatically reconnecting. Since using those I always have Windows-like options for remembering and auto-reconnecting to Access points.
Thanks for all the awesome replies! I had forgotten to enable notifications for the thread, so I didn't even realize anyone replied.

This is great summation of the TKIP exploit. You'd be amazed how many people have no idea how this works. Another thing to point out is that WPA is subject to man-in-the-middle attacks. You can effectively prevent against this by making your WPA passphrase more complex. Personally, I use a short sentence with plenty of special characters.
Here's a good read on MITM attacks in general:

You can test your access point security by using the latest bootable Backtrack distro and any number of guides online.

I'm using WPA2-PSK with AES encryption. I'll definitely look into those apps, though. It would be nice to have wifi turn off when there are no recognized hotspots in the area, as someone mentioned on page one.
Thanks for all of the great tips. Working better than ever!
Ever since changing the sleep setting under "advanced", I've had absolutely no problems. Battery life is much better, too. Thanks!!!
Y5 is the one of the best tips here..
It will turn your wifi off when you aren't in a known area.

When I turn on my phone at work, the wireless connection (open unsecured) connects and works for a few minutes. After some time, it disconnects and without rebooting my phone, I cannot establish a wlan connection.
This is oly the case at work. At home it works flawlessly, but it is another network kind.
Anyone found a solution to this problem? I saw a lot of threads about this but no good answers.
I am using duttys v3.
Not sure. Perhaps there is some sort of time out on your work network for inactive devices, or dhcp ip releases or something weird and "networky" like that?
Or perhaps your phone is going into a power save mode if you are not using it?
Just general ideas, I don't have this particular problem
I dont think many people have this issue! you must not have a setting correct, try downloading KaiserTweak and adjusting the timeout and also take a look at the routers settings I find it strange that a business would have an open network for security issues

I work at the university, and the network is unsecure. You have to enter login and pass at a webpage to gain access.
I cannot reconnect at all once ive been disconnected. So it should have anything to do with kaisertweak or timeouts.
I have tried every setting and combination. I have tried to select work/internet settings. Ive tried to tell the phone its a hidden network / not hidden network. I have tried to use power save / performance mode. Ive tried to turn off 3g, bluetooth, phone (everything basically).
When I tap connect, it says connecting and then it immediately goes to "active" and tries to connect to another network (which I dont have access to).

Wasted thread
Many do not have this issue.
According to what's being said here by the indiviuals with issues, you're having problems connecting to a certain network...not all networks.
If it were all networks; your device, settings, equipment or rom would be the common denomenator. Since it's one network, it's that network.
Just because a network is or appears to be available, that doesn't mean that you can connect to it.

no, it could be the phone software. Lets says that a string is added to the registry if the network you are connected to disconnects you; a string that makes the phone cancel connections to the network. And lets assume that the network disconnected you because there is a hidden firewall in the phone software that blocks ping requests, thus making the network believe that the connection is lost and thus disconnecting you. Then we have a moment 22, which is basically something wrong with the phone.
As some readers already pointed out in this "wasted thread", when changing the rom (in one case) or when changing settings from "internet" to "work" (in the second case) there is a great possibility that this problem in fact has to do with phone software and not network.
In my case, it just happens to be neither of the mentioned solutions or any solution that I have found in other threads.
One thing you may want to check is that your wifi is set to max performance. The issue may also be that there is a DNS cache issue, in most cases it can be resolved by manually reconfiguring the connection.
I have been successful in configuring my phone's WLAN to connect to everything from open APS's, WEP, WPA, RADIUS and AP's with proxy redirects, so I can tell you that as with most cases, it's human error.
I have tried max performance.
How do I resolve a dns cache issue? Manually reconfiguring the network did not help (only thing that helps is a reboot).

Hello to all diamond people,
We all know, there is huge issue with this great phone about Wi-Fi connections. While Wi-Fi is one of the reasons people choosed touch diamond, what is their disapointment when they find out wi-fi doesn't work as it should.
I am talking about problem I am experiencing by myself - I am unable to connect to my home WPA secured and encrypted network. If I turn the security off on my router and wireless network becomes open, there is no problem at all.
But who wants unsecured, open wireless network at home, so all the neighbours can download whatever they want through your network?
Nobody.
During my research throughout forums I have come accross many people, experiencing same problem, but was not able to find the solution to the problem, or what is causing it.
My aim is to gather as many information as possible to help to fix this problem, so everyone could use wi-fi on their own home WPA secured wireless network.
Any ideas?
What is your ROM and radio versions? I've no problem connecting to my WPA enabled network. Which WPA option did you choose? It must match the same WPA option on your router. There are WPA, WPA-PSK, WPA2, and WPA2-PSK, then there are also TKIP and AES to choose from. Try setting both Diamond and router to use WPA-PSK (TKIP) first, this should have the highest compatibility with other WPA supported devices on your network. And make sure you use a strong passphrase, you can use a WPA key generator.
Hey,
both router and HTC are set to WPA -PSK under TKIP encryption. I use my own network key.
The thing is, in wireless lan manager i can see htc does connect, but only for about a second, then it starts reconnecting all over again.
Sometimes it does connect and works for few minutes and sometimes it does connect to router, but not to the internet. It drives me absolutely mad.
I tried Advanced Config -> Network -> WPA authentication - enabled/disabled, but still experiencing problems.
I have heard there used to be issues with ROMs provided by the network operators, but that is not my case.
ROM: DIB Diamond v 1.33
RADIO: 1.00.25.05
WPA secured
Hey,
If You want to use WPA secured wireless networks with Diamond go to Settings-Wireless LAN-Power Mode and there set Power Save Mode to Best Performance. It works
Sorry for my English...

I guess it's probably not your ROM, since the DIB Diamond v1.33 is based on the newer 2.03 ROM. I was wondering, do other devices on your network have the same issue or it's only the Diamond? Connection dropping can be many reasons, and one of them is the router itself.

Somewhere I have come accross the information some routers (particullary Belkins) do have problem with windows mobile devices.
Today I wrote to Belkin Support, thay should reply in 72 hours mad, however we may know more.
Since I am using unsecured wireless network now, at least I have activated the MAC addresses lock - only allowed MAC addresses can connect to router now. What do you think, how secure is that? There is no encryption now, could someone see the sommunication between me and the router?
Which Belkin router are you using? Check if there is a firmware update, you may want to try that.
MAC address filtering should be ok for now, it can stop the majority of people who try to use your network, it will take someone with a bit more networking knowledge to gain access to your network, but most people don't have that knowledge.
Yes, people can capture any unencrypted packets and read them. But if you're connecting to a secure website through HTTPS or any other secure protocols, the packets are still unreadable. For example, in the browser, if it's written https instead of http on the address bar, those sites are secure. Most regular websites are not secure though.
I was having a similar problem on my Touch Pro a while back. My router is also set to WPA-PSK/TKIP. Although you said you tried it, the solution for me was indeed to go into Advanced Config > Network > WPA Authentication > Disabled. I then removed all previous wifi settings and then added them again, and it connected without a problem.
It could be that there's something else preventing your connection, but from what I can tell you should at least have that setting disabled.

It is connected very quickly and get IP address but then connection is working with very large delays (30+ seconds). If I disable and reenable WIFI adapter then it work good for some time but then it lost it again. All other devices work find with same router. I got 2 motorola BIONIC at launch day and both have WIFI issue.
Has anyone else have same issue?

I had this same problem. I hard reset using recovery but it came right back. I then did a reset using the the settings, privacy. I was able to fix the issue with the second hard reset. The only change I did was not allow Google to restore my phone from previous backup.

What are the odds you have WPA with AES encryption set on your router? I have had the Droid X and Bionic fail to load pages under that setting. But as soon as I switched the encryption to TKIP it worked on both.

Looking at the encryption now under security - NONE is what I have selected...
WEP CONFIGURATION
WEP Passphrase
WEP Authentication Yes Open No Shared Key
Encryption No Enable 64-Bit No Enable 128-Bit
WPA Encryption No TKIP No AES
Group Rekey Interval 0 seconds
WPA Authentication No Remote (Radius) Yes Local (WPA-PSK)
check your wireless frequency
For those of you able to connect with no problem but still can not access any internet i read somewhere that some Droid bionics were having trouble with b/g 2.4GHz routers. If your router is b/g only then disabling WEP encryption could work. I checked and sure enough mine is only wireless b/g however WEP encryption was already disabled. The fact that it could be because its a b/g only router would explain why I have no problem getting online at my job, which just aquired a new belkin dual band router, and my school, which I have no doubt uses only dual band routers being a college. I believe normally a/n 5GHz devices are suppose to be backwards compatible with wireless b/g. The only difference being less reliable and slower connection. Best bet is get a dual band router.
Does the N1 have 5GHz wifi like the Samsung?
My home LAN is 5GHz only, so I don't disturb the neighbors with my video streaming.
No, 2.4 only...
Ugh.
OK so I turned on the router's 2.4GHz, but with broadcast SSID off. My N1 wouldn't even try to connect. So I turned on router SSID and it connects AES.
I do -not- want SSID broadcast on, as Windows machines' lazy active scan will find me. Sure they'll never get in, but I do not want broadcast on.
Has anyone succeeded in connecting with it off?
When I am connected wifi and open a website on the phone, does it go over wifi preferred over 3G?
I want to share the SD card with a machine on the LAN. What's the best way to do this? FTP? Reverse SSH tunnel? Is there a sshfs for Android? EDIT: NM on this one.
Yes, I remember connecting to a WiFi with SSID off, when I had Nexus.
It is pointless to keep SSID Broadcasting off. It is super easy to find your SSID anyway, and it causes all sorts of additional problems (like the one you are seeing above). Just keep the network secure and it makes life a lot easier.

Ok, but sure passive scanners like Kismet will still see me, however 90% of scans are done with an active scanner like Winduhs. Of course I'm using WPA2-AES, but I want to take every measure possible.
Now I find that whenever I have the phone connected to wifi, I lose -all- internet access. Just times out. 3G is still on and wifi is showing connected, but I can't get to websites. As soon as I turn off Wifi I can access the internet again through 3G.
With wifi I -can- access the wireless router's setup webpage from my phone, which tells me I am working through wifi, and I can remotely mount the phone filesystem on a LAN machine using sshfs, but I can not reach anything outside. Any idea why?
Does anyone know whether, when it's working right, it uses the wifi connection in preference over 3G?
The WiFi is ALWAYS preferred to 3G, which means - when you're connected to WiFi, all the internet traffic is routed through WiFi.
I don't understand then, why all data traffic stops to the outside when wifi is connected. The rest of my LAN gets outside fine, just not the phone.
If you can see LAN computers and exchange data with them - it's not the phone that's making problems. See if you have any restrictions in your router.
Oh FFS, my fault...
I set my IP statically for my LAN, and through some alert troubleshooting I found I can ping IPs outside but not DNs. I'd mis-set the DNS server in wifi settings. Now it works great!
I can now use sshdroid to mount my phone's filesystem on my LAN securely. Now, if I could only get it to wifi associate with beacon off...
It would also be nice to mount a filesystem on my LAN to the phone, although I consider the phone unsecure and question the wisdom of that, even with DroidWall running.

Cool, but Market is FCing on me. I did a complete reinstall of the newest MIUI.us, and now Market's FCing again. So can't install any Market apps.
As someone else said, turning SSID off is pointless. It's like taking the numbers off the outside of your house and thinking people driving by won't see your house sitting there.

Hi All,
I know some people are having an issue with Wifi speed dropping randomly and is fixed by switching wifi off then on again.
My specific issue is with a BT homehub in the UK of which my speed will drop from 30mbps to around 2mbps after being connected for about 2-3hours. My issue seems to be fixed by turning GPS off but obviously this isnt convenient.
I stumbled on a "fix" while playing with my APN settings:
1) Go into Mobile networks in settings (Under "more" in Wireless and Networks)
2) Go into "Access point Names"
3) Click on your APN (if you have mutiple active ones do this for all)
4) Under "APN type" remove "supl" from the list (mine now says "default,mms")
5) Reboot
Now my Wifi does not drop speed at all even with GPS on.
So "supl" has something to do with Assisted-GPS but my GPS is working just as well as it did before this change.
Please test and post here what your situation is and if it helped.
Had the same problem here... only fix was to flash franco kernel...

Hmmm I think we have some different wifi bugs here, If your wifi is slow all of the time I think this is a different issue....
I have this confirmed working for myself and another user on Google+ up to now.
Sv: Possible fix for slow WiFi issue
OK, that's great for you guys!
No I don't have slow speed all the time. Sometimes when I toggle Wi-Fi on/off or if I restart the router the speed is good for some times (can differ from minutes to hours) but then the download speed drops from ~35mbps to 7-8mbps while my upload speed is constant around 12mbps. This happens on my home network and only on my n4, this doesn't happen at the university or on any of my other devices.
Skickat från min Nexus 7 via Tapatalk 2
Sorry about that, sounds like the same bug, maybe this fix is limited to only the BT homehub router.
I read some people having this issue with Dlink routers and a firmware update fixed it.
This fix is working for me with my BT HH3 router. I was seeing my speed drop from 40MB to 2MB when the phone screen was off for a while and so far this APN change seems to be working.
Excellent detective work. You should post this on the official bug tracker as it may help others.
the solution that work for me is
on /system/etc/wifi/WCNSS_qcom_cfg.ini
set "gEnableBmps=0"
disable the BMPS "Beacon Mode Power Save"
What it worked for me was to change the authentication method of the wifi router, it was WPA Personal when I was having the issue, I moved to WPA2 Personal Mixed with TKIP+AES WPA Algorithm and now everything works fine, no need to change anything on the phone.

What it worked for me was to change the authentication method of the wifi router, it was WPA Personal when I was having the issue, I moved to WPA2 Personal Mixed with TKIP+AES WPA Algorithm and now everything works fine, no need to change anything on the phone.

You should use WPA2 with CCMP (AES) only for WiFi, as TKIP is insecure:

Also disable WPS if possible:
