My wifi seems to disconnect from my wifi when the screen turns off, despite me having changed my settings to never sleep. When I look at the wifi settings it says "Unsuccessful Connection". I didn't have this problem with my MT3G.
Anyone having similiar issues or a fix?
wifi Reconnection issues
I'm having the same problems with mine.
It initially connects to wifi fine but when the screen goes off it sometimes drops the connection and will not reconnect without a reboot.
I have tried setting it to keep the wifi when sleeping but it makes no difference.
I found a few similar reports elsewhere and followed most of the suggestions, like changing routers, changing wifi channels, setting an IP address instead of DHCP etc. Nothing seems to make any difference so far.
Mine never seems to reconnect after waking up, but I just go into the Wireless settings/Wifi settings window (where it lists all the Wifi networks in the area) and press on the network name and it brings up a dialog allowing me to connect again. I press the Connect button and it instantly reconnects. No reboot required...
Try increase your router's "Group Key Update Interval". I had the same problem with my D-Link DIR-655. I changed mine to 10 hours and it's working fine for me now.
i have the issus that my wifi is "connected" i mean i see the logo at the top bar but after a few minutes i don't get any update from the internet like gmail oder twitter when is wake up the device from sleep i get them back again
maybe it something with the Group Key Intervall but i can't switch it on my speedport w700v router
I just tried switching mine, highest it can go is 7200 seconds, so I bumped it to two hours instead of one. linksys
my wifi reconnects when I wake the screen almost 100% but it's not reliable.
I have to go to wifi list and reconnect. Sometimes I disable wifi and then re enable, conects no problem. Irritating
i heared that switching the encryption from wpa/wpa2 to only wpa2 will solve this issues, will try it when i am at home
...seems like almost everybody got this problem.
for example with my Hero i don't had this problems so it's something with the W-Lan card of the Nexus
Got this problem too but will try the suggested work arounds when I get home tonight
found out that my encryption is wpa2 not wpa/wpa2 ... damn so thats not the reason
and my router cant configure the group key intervall
I don't have this issue, running CM5.0.3.1, mine is set to Never Sleep and it does not. My connection does not time out either. I connect to two Trendnet TEW-637AP's at home, in mixed b/g/n mode with WPA2-PSK mode security.
Could it be, that this prob exists just for nonrooted phones?!
i've got mcr 1.6 which is rooted and don't work
i think it's a problem with the wifi card and the wifi router
rooting just means that you get read/write access to all folders
doesn't change anything on your wifi connection

Not exactly, it means also modified system files, which could include those that interface with the wifi chip and those that control the sleep state of the device.
Also, Cyanogen (and most other custom roms now) are running on a different (newer) kernel.
yes i know
but mcr is although running on different kernel and it's not working there
i don't think its an issue bei the stock rom and mcr
maybe here is someone with CM where the wifi drops?
edit:
okay i tried it with the desire rom version from modaco, the same failures, maybe i try a CM built now, and see if it changes
Code:
[B]Rom [/B] [B]Router / Access Point[/B]
MCR 1.6 | Speedport w700v | not working
Desire MCR | Speedport w700v | not working
CM 5.0.3.1 | Speedport w700v | not working
i think this means it's not a rom issue, its something with the routers and access points in combination of the wifi card from the nexus
That´s strange..perhaps just accidentally, but: yesterday I installed "Task Manager" , which has an auto-kill function.....since then my Wifi reconnects perfectly
maybe because it automatically does anything inside of the 10 minutes which keeps the wifi active?
which one did you install?
there are a lot of them on the market
which developer?
edit:
ah i found a strange issue, today i was at the wifi of my girlfriend, she has the same router BUT i don't have the wifi problems there, with the same model of router thats very strange
i found another work around, i set my twitter client to 5 minutes update intervall, this means every 5 minutes is network traffic and the connection won't drop after my 10 minutes public key intervall change
don't know how much battery is used while setting from 10 to 5 minutes but i think it should be okay
Try a different WiFi channel
I've seen reports of WiFi connection problems being solved by changing channels on the AP. Channel 10 seems to be a consistently reliable choice.
Hi,
I'm a proud O2X user.
Only issue I'm having right now is that WIFI won't start all the time.
Sometimes I enable WIFI and it gives me error.
Sometimes I enable WIFI and it directly works.
Most of the times when it ain't working, I soft reset and WIFI is powering on again.
I had this same issue on my DHD. That was caused by the kernell. So I think it's the same with my O2X. I'ma wait till 2.3.x cause I don't use WIFI that much. And If that doesn't fix the problem, I'ma make use of the VIP service.
Other people expierincing this issue.... ??
After I installed Juice defender I think it got a little more diffecult to connect. One time I experienced that my accesspoint in the list had status "Deactivated".

Mine is still stock not rooted....
And when WIFI does power on, it does connect to my accesspoint.
The funny thing is even trying to enable WIFI with hiddemenu doesn't work then aswell....
Got my O2X two days ago, and Wi-Fi reconnection after sleep mode simply doesn't work. It times out waiting for an IP address from the DNS service, disconnects, connects, waits for address, and fails again. Turning Wi-Fi off in Wi-Fi settings, and then turn it on again, solves the problem. Peculiar and annoying.

Same problem here
I called LG yesterday.
The 2.3 will be a big update.
Many thing should be fixed.
He noted:
E-mail client will be fixed.
Some lag in the UI would be fixed.
WIFI should be fixed.
Better powermanagement.
So hope these world will be true.
Or else I'ma trade it for a HTC HD7
Got the same problem, WIFI works sometimes and suddenly it doesn't.

This can be router/access point related. Using WPA2 Personal encryption causes my O2X to lose WIFI connection after a short while. Therefore, for those of you with problems, try disabling WIFI encryption (only for testing) or try some other encryption method.
If the phone wont connect to a open/non encrypted router or access point, then the problem lies with the phone (most likely but not for sure).
Try it out!

I got the "Deactivated" too. I got that when I had the phone Wifi sleep policy set to "When screen turns off". When I changed to "Never" it was stable. I have later changed to "Never when plugged in" and that has been stable too.
I will test reverting back to "When screen turns off" this weekend and see if the problem returns.

My WIFI won't start then. After Reboot it will work couple of times. But then again it gives ERROR while start WIFI.
I have had this happen to me the last few days, despite wifi working perfectly the entire of the first week I owned the phone.
I have seen both problems mentioned here:
Won't get past "obtaining IP address"
Switching it on or off says "error"
Also, in the case where it would error, I also noticed a significant slowdown. Plugging the phone and using ADB to read "top" gave me:
Code:
PID CPU% S #THR VSS RSS PCY UID Name
1284 49% R 1 0K 0K unk root dhd_dpc
19960 1% R 1 912K 428K fg root top
Which must be a rare issue as I could only find a reference to dhd_dpc messing up here, for a SGS owner who never got an answer.
Rebooting the phone always fixes these issues. Although sometimes going into airplane mode and out again will solve the "obtaining IP address" issue.
I only have the •Switching it on or off says "error" issue.
I figured out enabling disabling wifi with the LG Control buttons (in the notification bar) fixed this issue.
Now it is always working and not giving me error.
Back it the day with settings or the power management icons enabling wifi 9/10 times gave me error.

Did he mention when we could expect the update?
Btw, you should shut off the wifi-sleep in advanced settings, and the problem is solved. =)
I am a bit concerned..
My phone is connected fine to Wifi at home, and apparently this weekend I have used 91mb of network data!! I did not go out so my phone should have stayed connected to Wifi at all times. But when I wake it from sleep (only woke it when email or text notification came in) When the screen lock pops up there is the 3G/H icon that’s stays until I unlock the pattern – then the Wifi icon pops up….
Should it not stay connected to Wifi even in sleep, as how is it recovering emails and such??
I am eating up my 500mb allowance very quick even when on wifi!!!
I have had no problems with home wireless as my pc (on wireless) has over 500hrs uptime connected.

Don't worry ignore my prev 2 posts. Found the option. the "never" setting I would have through should have been dafault!

yes i have the same problem, but then i reset my linksys router, then it works again.
but i had the same problem with my htc hd2.
Same here.
I have turned sleep policy to never but wireless always drop in sleep mode (sometimes it just stop to reply to ping, other times it switch back to 3g).
I tried every different setting on router (beacon, auth, speed, channel...) and static IP, but still no luck :\
Having had my LG 2x for a bout a week now I have come to find that it suffers from 2 issues I find annoying, and bordering to simply slack in making from the side of LG. Issues such as those should simply NOT excist on a phone such as this one :/
1:
I use my WiFi at home but sometimes I see that I am NOT connected to it and go into WiFi settings only to find that it says my network is "Disabled". How has it become disables, and why is the questions I would like to ask. I would like to know what causes the phone to think that.
Again my former phone was an HTC Desire and it used and connected to my WIFi network without any problems or issues leading me to suspet that this error is simply caused by LG either by fault in the hardware or a bad software that they released their phone with.....
2:
Sometimes if WiFi is actually enabled I will not be allowed to toggle on regular mobile data. The phone replies with the message "WiFi Connection open, cant open Mobile data" or something of that sort. I have gotten that message a few times over the last week and it comes regardless of whether or not my phone is actually connected to a WiFi Network or not.
Which basiclaly means that I cant use mobile data without first disabling my WiFi, reenabling mobile data and then reenable WiFi and then it works again.... for the time being.
Sometimes the phone also just disables mobile data on its own meaning I cant get any data connection unless I do the procedure above again. Its simply annoying and something that just shouldnt happen on a phone of this caliber . And with that comment I mean both the issues, because its simply not supposed to hapen for a phone in this price range or of this caliber.
All in all it seems more like LG cutting corners to be the first ones to release a Tegra2 phone. Cutting corners meaning that we have to content with a phone full of errors and bugs
I am having the same Wifi issue, it disconnects for no reason.
Hopefully this will get fixed soon in a 2.3 update. This minor wifi bug does not irritate me that much, the phone otherwise is a beast.

I had the same problem. It was caused by the wireless security/encryption method used in my router. I changed it from WPA2 Personal to WPA2 Personal Mixed, and now the router no longer disconnects my phone from the Wi-Fi. So try that.
You could disable the router wireless security entirely just to test ...

Well, I never leave the 3G connection on if I dont use it, so I can't answer you there. But Wi-Fi have greater priority than 3G. This means that enabling the 3G connection when having the Wi-Fi on and connected does not do anything. The 3G connection will only connect when the Wi-Fi is disabled.
It was the same on my former HTC Desire.

Sorry if I am a bit blunt. But that security setting has worked up till the point where I got my LG 2x, it works between all my laptops, on my SE G900, and worked flawlessly when I had my Desire, ie then its LG's issue and they just need to fix it.
IMO I can live with it getting tits up once in a while, AS LONG as it is fixed when LG releases Gingerbread. LG should however be asked why the phone "disables" the connection.
But I just checked my AP and its present setting is WPA2/WPA Mixed Mode. And the other "options" I have is: WPA2 Personal, WPA Personal, WPA2/WPA Enterprise Mixed Mode, WPA2 Enterprise, WPA Enterprise, WEP, RADIUS and Disabled.

I think you misunderstood me there . WiFi is turned on, but NOT connected, ie it should default to 3G data. But if I click my icon to turn on 3G data I just get told that it can't because WiFi is active, which it isn't since its not connected to any Access Point.
When I leaves my apartment I leave my Wifi on, and the second I leave the reception area of my AP the phone automatically switch to 3G data and back to WiFi again when I return. And thus I tend to keep both "on" to allow that seamless transition. In effect I could technically just disable my WiFi and stay on 3G considering I have a 25 Gig limit, but using my WiFi at home is just so much faster

I have the "disabled" status occasionally on my phone. It's triggered by 3 unsuccessful login attempts to the AP. This can happen if you're on the very edge of WiFi range but not sure that applies in your situation.

Well it might be that error that I am falling for then, but its just strange that the LG stalls, while my HTC Desire didn't seem to care and just grabbed the connection.
I wonder if there is some way to change it to try like 100 times or just completely ignore the limit and keep trying till it gets through.
I just had the "Disabled" issue again while sitting at home and being what 2 feet from the APN, so its certainly NOT a range issue :/
Hopefully this gets fixed with Gingerbread or I might go looking for another phone.
i have this problem with my folio and my 2x....
disabling wifi and enabling wifi helps.
for my folio i can say its a screen sleep issue(something messing with wifi as well,no solution afaik).
so if im downloading stuff and the screen goes to sleep my download stopps.
sometimes it resumes after wakeup, and wifi works fine, sometimes not.
for my folio the solution was to use the dockingstation, couse then it changes to a clock, and the screen doesnt time out.
today at work i was downloading stuff over my 2x, and expierienced the same strange behavior.
dont really know if its related(both tegra2 devices so it could be), but the occurance is too similar.

Well disabling security will do me no good at all considering I dont want to leave my wireless network sitting open like leaving my house unlocked.
So no thats not really an option... sorry :/
Of course not, but have to tried? My earlier, and now, is that your problem may be caused by the security on your router. It was a problem I experienced.
I have not tried yet. Because if i turn off the security and my phone then stays connected then its not a solution >_<. Its still an issue that the phone is causing.
BUT that said I would need to leave the security off my wireless for at least a week in order to really get any reliable data on whether or not its the security setting in the router that causes the issue (But I think rather not when all other phones has no problem with it). And sorry to say this, but im not leaving my internet open for a week to determine whether or not disabling my security makes my phone able to stay connected.
My HTC Desire could get connected and never disabled WiFi on it self. And the LG 2x does it. Ergo it must be an issue on the phone when it is the only phone in and around me that causes that issue.
have you tried changing the pw to a shorter one? in the shop where i work, some devices have problems with long passwords. some just connect to the router with the 10 char pw. connecting to the other router(20char pw) is sometimes a problem. the two routers are the same modell.
EDIT just tried it with the optimus, both router work, so this wont be an solution. sorry
Loving the phone really, one thing i have noticed is when ever im downloading or uploading large files through my home WIFI after a short period the phone disconnects from the network and i have to reconnect manually. Any ideas is anyone else having the same issue. All my other devices are fine
Same thing here, but it reconnects itself - just losing the connection for 1-2 seconds. It happens sometimes even when browsing the web. Most likely some kind of software bug.
Had similar symptoms when playing with the phone at work`s WiFi (1st day of usage). On my home WiFi nothing wrong at all.
Make sure that keep WiFi on during sleep is always.
Or the WiFi will turn off the moment u turn the screen off

I found that WiFi is one of the most power draining things on phones. The best thing would be to switch to mobile data while sleeping and turn wifi off during that time.
That way you can still receive everything, but since you're sleeping you will barely use any data at all.
To bad the phone can't do that automatically.
I'm getting frequent wifi drops in my home (netgear router, wpa psk security) and its also affecting other devices in the house! Other wifi networks I've connected to seem to be fine, no issues whatsoever. Sometimes it'll say its connected, but no data, other times it will disconnect entirely.
This is a VERY strange problem and the fact that its affecting the wifi connection to other devices is even stranger.
Just an update on this, I returned my phone to P4U this morning as the wifi thing was annoying me and the phone has eaten 823mb of mobile data in one weekend even though i had mobile data turned off and connected to WIFI, The handset said i used 115mb and Voda said 823mb. not the only reason i returned it but it needed changing. So got my new handset up and running this afternoon and im set up and i been downloading all my files and apps with out any problems.
So looks like i had a dud phone first time around.

Getting the same problem too. All my other devices (Nexus7, Ipad, PC) can connect fine to my wireless home network (fibre). But when I start connecting my Xperia Z to the wireless network, after 5 mins, my Gateway will hang, and restart itself. Happens all the time without fail as long as I have my phone hooked up to the wireless network.
Anyone else facing this problem?? I'm kinda at a loss now on how to solve it. Tried adjusting settings on my wireless channel too but doesn't seem to help. Any help will be greatly appreciated!!!

Ok, so i reckon this could be an issue with not having a static I.P address. Gonna change it tonight when I get home and see if the problem is solved. It's either that or it may be trying to connect to a port thats used for something else? Have ports assigned for my Xbox ect. I'm not too knowledgeable about these things so any other suggestions are welcome. Not too many settings on the phone unfortunately so the problem has to be solved using the router I'd say.

I have static ip set up since the beginning, and I also have the problems. Only my problem seems to stem from 2.4 GHz/ 5 GHz (if this is even possible). 5 GHz is the preferred one, but this one seems to be out of range sometimes and it switches to mobile data. The 5 GHz is then out of range, while the 2.4 GHz is not. Very strange.
Ive found the Xperia Z has held on to a 5GHz Wi-Fi signal better than any other device I've used before, but the 2.4GHz can often disappear...
Very odd, although at home I am quite happy that 5GHz works better as there's far less interference from local neighbours. Perhaps that's causing the problem - in that the XZ isn't so well set up to cope with other routers on the same Wi-Fi channels??
The reach of my 2.4 GHz is at 75%, while 5 GHz is at 50%??? Strange.
I would always expect 2.4GHz to carry further, and so I am surprised by my experience too.
In my case, there's only 1 5GHz router visible other than mine, but countless 2.4GHz ones. Not sure why that would make the XZ drop (and sometimes even lose) the connection - but that's what seems to be happening.
Xperia Z no wi-fi without SIM
I have a different wi-fi issue with my Xperia Z. It does not connect to my home wi-fi when there is no SIM in the phone. It just says that the network is out of reach. When I pop in the SIM card, it connects automatically. Actually, all the hi-end Sony phones I tried recently do this (Ion, T and more). I've been looking for a solution here on the forum, but didn't find any helpful topic. But maybe I was looking wrong. Does anyone know, what to do?

I think the obvious answer is put a SIM in there... and if that means getting any old SIM and cutting it to size, even if it's not registered on any network, then do that.
I wonder if it the phone is looking at the SIM to identify the country, and therefore what channels can be used? I say this because when I first used the phone (without SIM) I also had problems [router not showing up in a scan], and my router is on channel 13. I then put in a SIM and at some stage did another scan and it found my router.
Is your router perhaps on channel 11, 12 or 13?
I know it's a long shot, but who knows?

I know it's a long shot, but who knows?

Interesting point, will try to investigate with the channels. And I may also try to dig out some inactive SIM, thanks for the tip... The only thing I found is, that the problem obviously appears only with the WPA2-PSK security. With WPA, its all a-OK...
If you look inside the build.prop
The wifi.channel is not assigned,maybe this can gives you an idea guys.

My 2.4GHz has autochannel and 5Ghz is @ 44.
can anyone help me with wifi problems i am having?
my phone will connect to my home network and show connected however it seems that data does not load. I cannot load web pages often.
or when it does work it will cut out after a few minutes.
its pretty annoying as my service isnt the best in my house and if i want to watch youtube etc. wifi is obviously faster.
please help

What is the rom that you use? Did you do clean flash? Did you flash any kernel? Did you try to forget the network and reconnect again? More information is needed.

i'm using the stock ROM but i did unlock and root. i am using a asus RT-N56U with WPA2 personal AES encryption for security. Phone set for best wifi performance, wi-fi band on auto, keep wi-fi on during sleep.
I can connect and it will work usually especially if i turn off wifi then turn it back on. However, the problem exists that the length of time the connection will remain with the ability for loading webpages/video is unknown. It could be 2-5 minutes, but i've also tested it and its been able to hold a connection while constantly streaming a netflix movie.
I'm wondering if it could be resolved by setting my phone to connect to my home network via a static ip? seen things related to that elsewhere. It is very annoying and troublesome to have to constantly turn on/off the wifi when im sitting in the same place. I could be reading a webpage then click a link on it and then it will fail to load even though showing i am connected. Then i have to switch on and off. This has happened plenty of times within 30 minutes i've had to turn it on and off 3-4 times. To me that is not "functional".
is it something with my phone or router? or both?

you definitely shouldnt have to connect with a static. it may help but what about when u r in public do you still have the problem?? if not then maybe u should try a new home networking device or play around with the security setting on ur router.
my wifi seems to work fine other than my speedtest results are only 3mbps up. i should be getting as much as 55, i used to get up to 40 on my gs3. i am totally stock, with the same settings.

Do you have sleep mode turned on, in settings, power? Or power saver?

Maybe try unplugging both your modem and router for 10 seconds and then plug them back in.
