Wi-Fi enabled not recognize networks.. - XPERIA X8 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Hi Folks,
I'm trying to solve this annoying (big) problem.
I have CM7.2 by Xperiafan V5 as ROM
and X8_07-ICS_Alfs as kernel.
but this problem happened also in other ROMS GDX mainly used up 1 week ago.
The problem is: I use my wi-fi connection for a while, even 3-5 days. No problem.
Then when I reactivate wi-fi it seems looking for I dont know what and it rest activated but not connect my network.
I tried to change advanced settings: channels, rescan...
Nothing works...
The only solution is:
1) I have to manually delete all networks
2) disable wi-fi
3) then enable it again so it this time rescan correctly the networks
4) re-select my network
5) re-insert the pwd.
Sometime, as 1 time on 5-6, even this dont works, so I have to add after point 1 do a REBOOT and it works :-/ :-| :-/
Some suggestion? THX a lot!!!!

I have the same problem but I,switch the Wifi off and re activate it I find networks.

try this https://market.android.com/details?...nBlcnNvbmFsLmpoamVvbmcuYXBwLldpRmlQaWNrZXIiXQ..
enable wifi using 'stock' wifi on mobile, and scan network with this... I have no problems with this anymore

Which of WiFi security type do You use ? There are problems with gaining IP address from WPA/WPA2-PSK.
I have problems to, but what I'm doing is:
1). Connect [it's telling me, that it's out of range]
2). I simply press "scan" and that's all

problem with T MOBLE WING
I have the same problem , I even did try connect to my home Wifi it show connected ,but doesn't open to the website I want to ,can some one help,thanks
I had the same problem, I installed batterystatus, and checked the option to disable gprs when wlan is on, and now it works fine...
You don't need batterystatus to do this (the software just does it automatically for you), you can do it by yourself by disabling "data connection" in the connection manager whenever you turn on the wifi radio
-Hope it helps
t-mobile wing wifi problems
I had a similar problem with my wing. It would connect to unsecured WIFI networks and work flawlessly but when I connect to a secured network it would work for about 1 min then just hang while downloading a web page. If you device is doing this send it back to t-mobile and get a new one. This is what I had to do. hopefully you have a warranty.
I just got my T-Mobile Wing and I think I have the same problem. It just doesn't want to work with my WPA-secured Wi-Fi. When I switch WPA off, it works fine.
Did anyone else had a problem like this?
Called T-Mobile, they have nothing like that in their knowledge base.
I got this problem when i installed HTC 10 Button comm manager. I uninstalled it and WiFi works again.
Hope this helps
i have somewht of a similar problem, since ive had my Wing i have been unable to use my wi-fi, when i turn it on it says connected and shows me the lil meter and everythin but when i try browsing or downloadin it just hangs and does nothing until i turn the wi-fi off...i have no clue why i have learned to live without it but would appreciate any help...thanks
Try this it work for me. Whenever you want to connect to secure wpa do this before you make the connection
Start > Setting > Connections > Wifi Status > Power Mode > Move the slide "Best Performance"
Your wing should be able to connect to secure wpa.
Hope this help.

Make sure you disconnect from edge/gprs before you try to surf after you are connected to the wifi.

how exactly do i do this? is it what was explained about in the battery status menu and check marking the box 'disable proxy for wi-fi'...?
You can click on the little E or G on top and click on Disconnect.

i dont know how i ever survived without wi-fi....WOW....thank u
Thank Ayodeji13. He answered this in the 5th post. ^_^ But, yea, I've done the same thing before and was lucky to realize where the problem was coming from. Unfortunately, it didn't help me with the crappy wifi signal that my Wizard provided me. The wing, on the other hand, is MUCH better at this.

Thanks mate... I too was having issues connecting to wifi... its kind of strange... it was connecting to my home network for sometime but later it suddenly stopped. It will connect to other networks but not to my secured network. Today I tried the setting you mentioned and surprisingly my phone connected to my home network... I wonder why because this setting should improve the performance and not the connectivity itself... Thanks again
you can add me to the list of people with wifi issues. I can't connect to my wireless router and I'm stand two feet away from it. It shows up but when I try to connect it says unavailable. I've done everything from turning the data off, to setting the power to best performance but it won't connect.
I need help... Whenever I connect it says I'm connected but actually I'm not. Yesterday I could view directions using live search but couldnt browse the web, not i cant do both. it gets stuck on the locating... part of loading the website. sometimes it gets to opening but the KB bar doesnt come up and it gives me some 500 internal error, or page doesn't exist. I cant do the best performance thing because im using touch it 2.3 rom and i dont have wifi status anymore.
WHY DO YOU HAVE TO REMOVE THAT STUF?!! URGH! I dont even have msn!
But anyways, can someone help me connect to the internet?...
TRY THIS
I have the same problem, i i manage to fix my wifi connectivity by editing the registry.....try this at your own risk.....but swear it works for me. i used total commander to edit registry and go to:
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE > SOFTWARE > HTC > Comm Manager >
then you will see folders 0 - 8 or some only have 0 - 7 ,delete folders 6 and up ........ ( I JUST MOVE MINE instead of DELETING IT< I MOVE IT TO STORAGE CARD SO IF SOMETHIN GOFF UP I CAN JUST PUT IT BACK )....
SOFT RESET then try turn your wifi ON , connect to your network.... til me if this works for u guys...
i think the value of those folders are bum hehehehe thats why it wont connect......., after connecting to your wifi secured or not , it will create another folder and add those folders back by default...but this time the good settings lolz its worth a try !
Ok this is realy frustrating. My wing was getting on my secured home network and npw it dose not. I read all the post and have tried some (the ones that I could understand). I dont have the option under battery status to disable gspr or gpsr. And my system is vista 64 so total commder dosen seem to work for reg settings(edits). I can conect to unsecure networks but I cant to my hone (secure) network. I have in the past but it dsent ssem to work now?

[Q] Help on my wifi

I have flashed my X8 with 2.2.1 ROM for X8 | Based on miniCM |
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1036335
And I have encountered problem as follow...
Sometimes my X8 are hardly connected to an open network. It just keep connecting and disconnecting when acquiring ip address from the router. And when I turn off the wifi on my phone when it have such problem, the next time I turn the wifi on, it will be connecting to an unknown network without scanning, and without any available network on the list.
It just keep connecting and disconnected a while later, and just stuck on “disconnected” without any further action, even I force it to scan for an available network. The only thing I can do is just turn the wifi off and on to make it move again, but the same problem persist.
I have tried to reboot, but the problem remains.
The only solution for me is to recover the ROM by using xRecovery, but I have done it once, and the problem arise again…
HELP ME PLS!!!

Maybe you have to try disabling the "N" standard in tiwlan.ini file. After this delete all connections in Wi-Fi list, thed disable and enable Wi-Fi. It solved the problem for me.
Thanks for the comment and i really appreciate that...
BUT, how do I turn off the "N" settings?
With root explorer, edit tiwlan.ini (located in /system/etc)
There is a line "ht_enable=1" at abut the middle of the file. Change the 1 to 0. Save&exit, there you go.

try to clear cache and dalvik cache in xrecovery
Wifi dying after a period of time.
I have a similar issue with my X8.
The Wifi works fine for a while (longest so far has been about a month) and then it just stops working. It picks up no signal what so ever from anywhere (my home router, which is about a metre away, is currently "Not in Range").
I've tried multiple versions of Android 2.2 from XDA and am now running 2.3 from the following link: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1109563
The only way i've found to bring back the Wifi is to do a FULL restore (system, data, cache, everything). I've done abt 6 restores since i started using custom ROM's about 4 months back and am in the situation where i have to do another one now. This is getting EXTREMELY irritating and I would very much appreciate it if someone could give me a solution for this.
Also, I have a lot of trouble connecting to the internet at my uni. This has been an issue from the very beginning on the X8, even before using custom ROMs. It connects the first time and then refuses to connect a second time. To connect again i have to forget the connection and start again. I don't know to describe the Wifi type but the instructions for connecting to it are in the following link http://uqconnect.net/helpdesk/wireless/eduroam/android/.
Thanks in advance
have this problem too. when i was on GDXv007 was fine then when it update to v008 i cant connect to wifi anymore.just keeps saying "obtaining ip addrees" then reboots. HEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEELLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLPPPPPPPPPPPPPPPPPPPPP!

Yes, this was helpful... But I have to Delete the networks I remembered, always?

[Q] Major wifi problem

I have a major problem with wifi on GingerDX & stock kernel, it drops the connection everytime it is idle, and it many times doesn't come back by itself or the statusbar shows it is connected, but there is no connection, and in these cases i have to switch it off and on. There is no encryption on the router. I set the wifi sleep policy to never. This doesn't happen on stock ROM. Any solution to this?

Set the WiFi sleep policy to "Never" to avoid WiFi going "ZZzzzzzz" when the phone is idle (lockscreen kicks in)
I mentioned that i already did that.
And it does it too when it is awake... i already downloaded many apps to keep the wifi awake but no success.
In this case it would rather seem you have a compatibility problem between the ROM and your Access Point / Router.
Try switching channels or secure your network to rule out your problem comes from tons of strangers using your wifi.
I think i switched channels before, and no success. The router doesn't accept connections from unregistered devices so even without password, nobody can connect from outside.

LOOOL ... MAC addresses are sniffed in a matter of split-seconds.
Anyway, since you are certain you already did everything in the book, and outside the book ... maybe try changing your WLAN cable past a new one.
There is no WLAN cable on the router, the antenna is connected directly to it. By the way 2 computers are connected through wifi and their connection is constant. But if it works on stock rom then there is something in the rom itself.
I suggest edit twilan.ini to make N standard work. This solved my wifi problems on SDE .
Search XDA for n standard on x8
Sent from my E15i using XDA
I'm gonna test it for some time, I will report back if it worked or not.
I have similar problem myself as well. I even upgrade it to latest rom and it still does that. I already set wifi sleep policy to NEVER yet the damn thing could randomly decide to cut off. As soon as I wake the phone up it will re-establish connection. Ever single time. Why does it not try to re-establish connection while the screen is off? The funny thing is that I have no idea when it drops connection. The logging has no time stamp that I could track down events.
I believe sincerely that there's still some bugs to be rid of
Try enabling N standard, since i enabled it the wifi stays connected, for now.
i had the same problem.. U just have to use nAa or Alfs for cm7 kernel and rom which works with these kernels and no problems anymore

[Q] WiFi problem

I have problem with WiFi on my new RAZR i.
It is working fine for one or two days. After that I'm getting strange behavior.
When I turn on the WiFi, phone connects to WiFi network but after I while WiFi connection is lost and after that it is unable to find any network.
Turning airplane mode on and off sometimes helps. Reboot of the phone (shutdown and power on) always helps.
What can it be? Hardware? Application? Bug in 4.1.2?
Hi.
Is this on just one wifi device (home?) or you see this behavior everytime (mean everywhere) you use wifi? There is sometimes some strange uncompatibity issue between devices. I have HUGE problems with Belkin and TP link, while Airlive (Ovislink) products work stable with my Razr i.
I see that every time (mean everywhere) when I use WiFi. I have removed WiFi manager and Skype and now it is working fine. I'll test it a little bit longer to be 100% sure.
After that I will install WiFi manager and Skype once more to pinpoint the problem.
Have you gone into your WiFi and gone into advanced and unchecked avoid poor connections? That was causing me a major problem because my phone almost had a choice in whether to connect.
