[Q] Am I the only one experiencing these 2 issues in regards to WiFi

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

...well that will address the symptoms...
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.

In publishing [ ] is used to insert words required for context....

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

[Q] CM7 Nightly 46 | Issue with WiFi

Hi all,
This is my first post here. I had installed CM7 44 on Friday night after doing nvflash, doing backup of my stock rom and doing reset and clear cache using CWM. With CM7, I noticed that the GPS was not getting lock and it took forever to get a lock. So wanted to check with the latest version and flashed again by clearing cache to nightly 46. Even after that the GPS was not getting lock, but unfortunately phone was not connecting to WiFi router. It gets stuck at 'getting ip address from xxxx' stage. WiFi used to work fine in nightly 44 for me. Then came the double whammy. I went back to nightly 44, but now WiFi is not working there as well.
Any pointers as to why this is happening? I have gone back to nightly 46. Had seen in one of the older threads that it worked after setting the router to B&G only, but like I said it was working properly for me before nightly 46.
Cheers

Try to reboot your router...

Try it now it awesome You got nothing to lose

I am on .46, I too have strange WIFI problem, LG2X does not automatically reconnect to Wifi, here is details:
WIFI turned on, I left the location and coverage where connected WIFI router A, 2X switch to 3G correctly, to location B (WIFI B), it will not auto connect to B, I will have to disable WIFI and toggle it back on for it to auto connect, then back to location A, WIFI does not auto connect either.
(Provided both password WPA/PSK is correctly setup, since I toggle the WIFI it does works, just not auto connect like it used to be on stock)
I understand nighty is nothing to be use daily, all other things works fine (very minor glitches and work-around) just would like to report some experience, I am sure it will be fix sooner or later, when it is done, it is done.
Thumbs up for CM team tho, REALLY REALLY thanks for this great work!

I already saw this behavior with other phones, not running CM7 - it might probably not be directly related to CM7.

Wifi issues

So I'm having Wifi Connection issues on my Mile stone. I'm running the Lastest STABLE version from Miui.us. Problem is I can connect but within a min or two of connection it looses connection and says wifi out of range even if Im standing right next to it. If I forget the connection and restart my router it will find it and connect again and do the same thing. I've tried my cousins Samsung Vibrant on my wireless router and he doesn't have any issues so I know its not the router itself. Any Idea's on how to fix this guys?

I've had some success with changing the wifi sleep policy in the advanced tab of the WiFi settings.

Yeah, 1.9.9 is a beta development build, but he's just remarking how stable it really is.

Hi, I have the same problem with WIFI, I cahanged the slep policy, and when I activate Wifi it's starting scanning for nothing, no wifi Network appears and when I can connect, after a whie it's disconnecting itself and doesn't reconnect. Somebody knows the problem?..I'm using MIUI android v1.9.9

I'm not sure, I updated to 1.9.16 and I'm having some issues with mine but not as bad. The weird thing is wifi won't work if the mobile data network is enable, when i turn that off my wifi will connect but if i get even like 10 feet away from the router it starts having connection issues and sometimes when im right next to it. But no where as bad as it was before.

If you are in charge of the router, set it to a low channel (1-5 or 1-6). That solved my problems.
If it does not, there are more discussions in the forums, although in my impression some of the recommended cures are rather "obscure".

what are other ways?

Maybe try to installing rohan modpack v1.4 or v1.5 which basically almost the same the only thing I see different the V1.5 without v6 supercharged mod

My wifi worked everywhere but my house, which used WPA2. Once I changed that from AES to TKIP encryption, it connects smoothly every time.
There are new drivers some people are using, but they don't sleep correctly, and you'll lose battery a lot faster. It's pretty much going to be a trial and error process to figure out what works for your setup.

Try while wifi on, forget the network -> turn wifi off -> turn wifi on -> connect to the network again. This shoud work but have to repeat everytime you reboot your tp.
Used to have this problem, i install different kernel -> back to original kernel boom. It works

AES is much more secure than TKIP - which has known vulnerabilities and can be cracked much easier.
A few more things to do to help:
- Set your router to one of the lower 6 channels
- Set your router to use AES security only,
- Set your router to use wireless mode G & N (or G Only, if you have B but not N - this will allow for it to use N if possible, but everything else that isn't N can use G as well)
- Go into Wireless => Advanced settings on your tablet, and set your Regulatory Domain to 11.
Then reboot your tablet, remove the saved network you had, and reconnect to it. You should be good from then on out. My tablet has zero problem reconnecting with these settings, on four different router setups (Telus Optik all-inclusive, D-Link stock, Linksys stock, and DD-WRT customized).
