Connection problems 3G/Wifi

Hi guys!
I have a Touch Diamond 2. It's great and certainly an upgrade from my Touch Cruise!
I have a strange problem though. Whenever I try to connect through 3G (T-Mobile Netherlands), immediatly after it makes the connection, it gives the dialog 'cannot connect etc'. 3G is truly connected but no data is coming in.
Now I have found where the problem lies, sort of. 3G works fine when I don't configure my home Wifi connection. Whenever I configure that, 3G stops working. It doesn't matter if Wifi is turned on or off. 3G does have a dynamic ip, where my Wifi connection requires a static IP. But I make all these settings in the Wifi part of the configuration screen, the IP details are under the 802.11 b/g network card.
This used to work flawlessy on my Cruise. Anyone have a solution? Thanks!

good morning. as you are with tmobile i'd suggest you are having the same problems as me with tmobile uk. for some reason tmobile sets up a proxy server in your 3g data connection setup, this caused huge problems for me but clearing it solved them all.
try this first and see how you go.

Possible, but where exactly do I change the proxy settings of the 3G connection?

Hey that's a coincidence, just read the same question at GoT
I have similar problems.
Now and than my HSDPA connection works good, but at some moment I just can't reach any website.
Disconnecting and reconnecting to HSDPA sometimes helps, and sometimes I just have to wait a few minutes and than it works again.
I also tried another DNS (OpenDNS) but it doesn't solve the problem,
Proxy settings can be found at (I assume your dutch):
Instellingen> Meer> Verbindingen> Verbindingen> Mijn proxyserver instellen
At my TD2 is no proxy set, so thats not the cause.
Hope sombody else can help!

Do you have a static IP for WIFI as well? I kinda found out that setting WIFI on dynamic IP solves the 3G problem, so somehow they must be connected. But this should be able to work, it's almost as if 3G 'takes over' the static IP from the WIFI settings, but the connection settings from my 3G are offcourse set to dynamic.

I had exactly the same problem with my D2. I also had it on my Cruise with the later ROMs. The official HTC 6.1 ROM did not have this problem.
I experience it when I set up my wifi 802.11b/g network card in the phone to have a static IP address and set the default gateway. If I use DHCP there is no problem.
Setting the wifi card up on the phone DEFINITELY screws up the cellular data connection.

I use a dynamic IP, for me it doesn't work.
With my dear old Wizard (MDA Vario) I had no problem at all with the same settings!

yup thought i was the only one with this problem need a fix for it soon man otherwise we are gettin bumped for not havin the settings coz we on t-mobile

I solved it temporarily by setting Wifi to dynamic IP, but this prevents me from connecting at work. I'll send HTC an e-mail, let's see if they are willing to hot-fix this one

for me i find that the web sites work but any app that requires to go online ie facebook, msn, sky fire etc jus dont work wen you try to connect online......... stupid t-mobile

My connection problems are gone.
Maybe I (we) encountered hickups with the T-Mobile proxy-server....

maybe You can help me.
I have a MDA V (germany T-Mobile) and i can not connect to my AP here at Home.
I have a ASUS WL500g configured as AP behind my Firewall/Router. All other device in my house, a Laptop, a Netbook and a 'WII' working fine!
All get the IP from the Router, the AP works transparent.
D2 will not connect. The Mac-Address from the D2 is configured in the AP, and i can see the router statuspage and see the MAC of the D2 sometimes in the list. But only as "associated" and never as "associated authorized" as the Laptop here in example:
-------------------------------------------------
Stations List:
-------------
00:23:76:yy:xx:xx associated <-D2
00:1C:BF:yy:xx:xx associated authorized <- Laptop
--------------------------------------------------
I configured a lot in the settings, but i cant get the D2 online with wifi.
Can someone plz help a bit?
-
other question: if i manage the problem some day, is it possible to configure the Networksettings of the D2 device in the way that the device only use USB and te WiFI-Connection to access the internet? I hat it that the device use mobile-internet connection without asking me to do so.

Same problem

I was experiencing the same problem, only with the difference that I am using 3 different Wi-Fi adapter settings every day (for 3 different networks - two with fixed IP and one with DHCP enabled. Most elegant solution that I came up with was a small, but very handy application called "WiFi Profiles". Settings for WiFi adapter are easily changed by choosing a profile that you want to use and applying it. Before you disconnect from WiFi network, you just set adapter to DHCP, and after that your GPRS/3G/HSDPA connection works like a charm. By the way, I am proud owner of Touch HD but I am using Dutty`s Topaz based rom V3.4 XTREME SHIP.

[Q] WIFI again

Hi,
again a WIFI trouble:
If i connect to my router the connection is fine. All IP´s are correct and so on ... I cant establish a internet connection :-(
But i can open my router from the mobile
And: I can open the IP address from google and open all pages in a google search, no problem ....
Another tab in opera didnt let me go in the Internet at all. A normal address is not working too. All other internet app´s like Market and so on are not working ....
I am stuipd or the mobile ?!?!?
Heeeeelp please !!!

It seems there some sort of trouble with the DNS... have you tried to access a page with IP adress: http://207.171.160.0 - should be amazon.com
You can check your wifi status with *#*#4636#*#*
Kind regards,
ww

This sounds to me like it could be a problem with the router or with your internet connection itself. Other devices connected to the router can access the net normally?
I agree DNS may also be an issue.

........
I try to reach the amazon IP, it was not working :-(
Yes all other devices can work with router perfect ....
Then i check this wifi status and it is weird ....
In the wifi api, i did not open anything if i say enable network, getconfigured networks or getconnection informations,
If i say disconnect, it disconnect, but connect after few seconds automatically again.
If i say enable or disable network, it crash: processcom.android.setting has stopped ....
In the wifi status, it give me after refresh all corret datas, but a pig test to google is not working (host unreachable)
My phone is not cracked or anything like this. only KIES updated ....
:-(

[Q] I'm getting WIFI connect..disconnect.continously (advanced set to NEVER off)

I'm getting WIFI connect..disconnect.continously (advanced settings set to NEVER off)
I just upgraded to a Virgin Media Superhub (WIFI and Cable modem built in)
I set the WIFI to "WPA PSK (auto)"
is this causing the problem
I am trying "WPAPSK2 AES" today to see if it fixes it?
Me and my house mate have a galaxy S and both phones are doing it.
is it my WIFI router or is it the Galaxy S's at fault here
apologies if this has been covered, i did a search but wasn't sure what to search for about this.
Cheers

@anyone
I tried WIFI tether and WIFI fixer apps but no joy
I had a WIFI connection before with my Netgear router in WEP. The super hub is a netgear router, i cant understand whats causing the problems.
its just connecting and disconnecting .
when ui set it up from scratch sometimes it works until i go out of range, then goes the connect disconnect route...
Also I unplugged the modem and turned SSID on (it found it and stayed locked) and then SSID off (it appeared to keep connection) ...? is this a clue as to why it keeps connect disconnect?
Any help welcome cheers

i solved this but I dont know how
i set up both to
WIFI to "WPA PSK (auto)
phone to wpa psk2
and then revealed the ssid in the modem. left it for a bit, then hid my SSID
it's worked properly for a few days now.
maybe it needed to do something to lock on?
....now if i could get my MMS working another story

I have the same problem... It's driving me crazy

all i know is this
get rid of juice defender if it's on
Turning The Virgin super hub on and off solves the problem temporarily.. faster than reboot the phone.
if your phone isn't rooted, don't enter the WIFI settings twice it can corrupt the wifi complexly needing a master reset!
also i set the Virgin hub to
WPA auto Broadcast SSID
also on Virgin Hub
settings
advanced settings
content filtering services
untick firewall and ip flood
i think broadcast SSID on your WIFI unit fixes it

Reflash?
Sent from my GT-I9000 using XDA App

are your setting for the phone and WIFI the same as the ones i posted above on the other posts?

I flashed CM7 and it works perfectly
http://download.cyanogenmod.com/?type=stable&device=galaxysmtd
give it a try...(you need to be rooted)

do you know your firmware version? i have the same problem. ive tested and the wifi sleep policy doesnt work at all!
my wifi reconnects every 59 seconds with sleep set to never. its the same with sleep set to never when plugged in. sleep when screen turns off doesnt work and is exactly the same, reconnects every 59 seconds and doesnt sleep at all. not as far as ive seen (watched for around a quarter of an hour before getting very bored). I dont know if this is anything to do with it but if you watch the WIFI scanning the Connection resets after every 10th scan. Im using a Belkin router but as said ive tried on several different WiFI connections and the drop out is always the same.
im using jvt firmware and semaphore kernel.
my phone was froyo before and wireless was fine before flashing.
ive spent a week on google with this. there are hundreds of threads and even vids on youtube. as yet though no fix.
ive changed router settings at home. with no improvement. the reconnection happens whenever im on wifi and i cant see mcdonalds letting me rummage through their router.
As far as i can figure the problem started in the jvs firmware. I havent tried jvs but there are a couple of google results saying that since updating to jvs wireless reconnects constantly.
same as above......
HELP!!!!!!!
Its driving me mad!
FIXED at home. Changed Belkin Routers Lease Time from "Forever" to "1 Hour". Guess outside connections will depend on what the Routers Lease times are set up as.
However the "Stop WiFi when screen turns off" still doesnt turn off Wifi at all (as far as I can see, as now tested for over an hour).

i have such a ****ty router and cant even set up the lease time
well im going back to jvr..
i believe they changed some wifi drivers in jvs and jvt and thats why some phones get this bug..

[Q] Wifi Problems in Samsung Galaxy Tab - Wifi after Gingerbread Upgrade

After i upgraded my galaxy tab wifi version with gingerbread using EU firmware, the "Wifi Turn On/Off" is behaving erractically. The Wifi won't turn off on trying to do so and will stay in status "Turning Off" all the time. After restarting the device, it will reboot with the WiFi turned on.
I tried factory reset and that sorted out the problem, till i configured the wifi connection and the problem returened back.
I any body else facing the same problem? Is it a problem with the firmware?

Not sure about the ROM version, but i downloaded the firmware form here http://www.sammobile.com/firmware/?page=3&t=3&o=1&m=GT-P1010&r=1#.
How do i check tht.
In addition what are the steps to be follwoed to apply the fix through CWM?

I could have written that no P1000.
p1010 wifi problem I can not help. sorry...

This could be linked to the known DHCP lease problem.
Check the DHCP setting's on your router and ensure that the lease duration is something valid i.e. not infinity; set the lease duration of DHCP on your router to *anything* less than infinity.

There is no exact option of lease time in the router, but something called 'Idle Time' was there which had a value of zero, which i have changed to 999. Even after that the problem still exists.

Hi all,
i do have exact the same problem. I can not set a DHCP lease time on my router.
Does anoyone have a solution for this Problem with the Galaxy Tab P1010?
Firmware: 2.3.6
Kernel: 2.6.35.7-CL882382 [email protected] #1
Builsnumber: GINGERBREAD.XXKPI
Thanky ou in advance.
N1v4

same issiu here..

I am using a GT-P1010 and am on the KPI firmware. I have been having intermittent connectivity issues which may or may not be related to what is being discussed here. Nevertheless I am going to try the following the next time my Wi-Fi drops out. You might want to do the same. While these may different issues, it might be worth a shot. Here is some information I have recently found.
Delete dhcp_list
Set Static IP
Basically (as mentioned by another poster above) these Tab's have issues when routers assign IP addresses using DHCP. Apparently the TAB retains the last known assigned IP address and try's to use it all the time. If your device was asleep and another device on your network grabbed that IP address, you are in for issues.
The dhcp_list file contains that information and if deleted the TAB will attempt to actually acquire a new IP address (lease) from your router. You must be rooted to delete that file.
The other option its to set a static IP. This will work great as long as you don't travel to another location and need to connect to another access point. If you do, you will need to return to the DHCP method of IP acquisition and your problems could return if you stay on that network long enough.
Lastly as discussed in some of the other forum posts from my second link above (great information in that entire thread btw) you can access your router and set it to assign the same IP address to your tab all the time. This will affectively insure that no other devices are able to acquire that address and you should be good from that point forward. As all routers are different I will not provide details of this method but it IS the BEST of all three options in my opinion. Basically you will need the mac address of your tab and it's current (working) IP address. Then set your router to assign that IP address to that MAC address.
Please post back if any of this works. Thanks!

Hi all.
I have set the IP Address in the Tab to a fix value and reserved the same IP Address in the Router for the TAB.
This does not solve the problem.
I can use WiFi perfectly. But when i try to disconnect my device by shutting down WiFi the device is stuck. The Button for WiFi is described as off, but the Color is green. And i am not able to reconnect to WiFi.
After rebooting the device it starts with WiFi turned on. In most attempts after rebooting i am able to turn WiFi Off.

Yeah .. sounds like a totally different issue then mine. Sorry it didn't work for you.

I solved the problem by downgrading to Froyo 2.2.1. Now WiFi works properly. The only problem is now, that i can not find all Apps in the Google Market.
And i am not able to activate the Screen Lock functions. I can set a PIN for unlocking but nothing happens.....

Hi.
I have the same problem, but it only happens when the wifi is open and has no password. If the wifi has password, it works fine.
My ROM is GINGERBREAD.XXKPG, 2.3.6.
Bye.

[Q] issue with darkrom 3.4

Hello
since installing 3.4 I have had issues with this rom however none so serious I jumped ship however I have problems with conecting to my home wifi which is causing pain...
I have set up wifi on my note as dhcp and my netgear router is also set to give ip address via dhcp however the note will only connect sometimes otherwise the message 'obtaing ip address' is shown then the connection drops to remembered and then Im back on 3G. I have tried various fixes including re-flashing the rom providing a static ip address. I have this issue with any dhcp network the note just will not connect all the time...

It happen even on stock to me mate.What I do is turn off wifi,go to browser and navigate to any site(yeah with wifi turned off still and data network off),when it gives you error turn on wifi and refresh the page.
I know its irritating but I have no solution and it works for me

still trying to find a solution to this. setting wifi sleep policy to Never seems to help I also deleted the dhcp_list file which forces the note to reconnect from scratch each time it connects to a known network rather than selecting it from the list. still not a full fix. seems to be a samsung thing rather than rom based. do the modem downloads available control the wifi functions or are they just for radio 3g etc as I will try a different modem to see if that helps.....
