Wireless refuses to work, but mobile data does - HTC Vivid, Raider, Velocity

I can connect to my router just fine, the password is correct etc. The icon in the status bar stays grey, and I can't connect to the internet (No Play Store, Browser won't load, Gmail is dead etc.)
I just recently S-OFF'd, but I was unlocked for a while. I've flashed a few ROMs, and they all have the same issue. What could be wrong?

I'd blame my ISP...
As long as you know you are connected to your router...

try unplugging your modem and your router than plug modem first back on than router try connecting again see if that works

WiFi issue - Turns off after connect

Using my Tilt from AT&T I swapped out the stock ROM for the Sleuth v3 ROM and haven't had a problem since. Well until now. This morning I realized that the WiFi wasn't connected when I went to get a file from my email, normally it's just easier to do that rather than download it to my PC and transfer it. But when I went to activate the WiFi, the WiFi turned off immediately after establishing a connection to the router.
I know it's not the router, the PC I'm using right now is connected to it, as are 2 other PCs. I tried connecting to another wireless network, but the WiFi on the Tilt does the same thing - connect then deactivate.
I'm pretty much stuck and I was wondering if anyone had any ideas?
*edit* Sorry, forgot to mention that up until now I haven't had an issue with the wireless.
*edit2* Using the internet sharing, I'm suddenly now connected to the wireless network? Maybe I somehow blundered my way through... I'll experiment and keep this post updated.
my Trinity 3600i got same wifi issue as yours before. but It seems recover after I reflashed a new rom.
Ok so now I'm not really sure whats going on. From Comm manager, I click the WiFi button and it starts to connect. Once it does, the WiFi is disabled within 1-2 seconds of connecting.
I tried the Internet Sharing option with my Tilt hooked up to my PC and instead of connecting to the EDGE network, it connects to the wireless network. When I look at the comm manager screen again, the internet sharing is disabled, but the wifi is enabled.
Same thing is happening to me. I connect for a second, and then wireless lan disables itself. Using dutty's WM6.1 WWE with radio 1.58.26.20. I have another att tilt with the same problem (I unlocked it one earlier today). I'm going to try messing around with my router a little more.
Anyone got any ideas?
edit: apparently, if it's connected to your computer via usb, if you turn on wireless lan, it'll shut itself off. Then if you unplug the usb, it'll turn on. boy do I feel stupid.
ah haha, i totally forgot about the USB wifi thing, i usually dont let it connect when im connected to the computer so i forgot about this x.x very sorry i couldnt have helped about this ealier
I just hope this addresses your problem Elm0

[Q] Wi-Fi problem

Over the past few days my phone hasn't been wanting to connect to my wi-fi. I would have to turn wi-fi on and off several times before it would connect. Today it just stopped connecting all together. It now shows my network but says its "out of range" I'm withing 10 ft so I know it's not. Earlier today it would just say scanning and then disabled under the network name. Anyone know why it would not be working at all? Also I have a ps3 hooked up wireless and it works fine so I know it's not the router.

without knowing your specifics how can we help you?
are you rooted? what rom? version? kernal? recovery?
I had the same problem...got a new phone from att and still did the same. Did you try resetting your router...for some reason my captivate is sensitive to my router and even though everything else wireless in the house works fine the phone says wifi disconnected....hopefully resetting your router does it

Try changing the channel.on your router to channel 11 and then setting a static ip address on your phone.
I am assuming you are using a standard home user router such as a linksys or netgear and that you are using a captivate, so I doubt you are having issues due.to encryption or using the wrong type.wireless.

WIFI router not working on Tilt 2 with Energy rom

I have been using the WIFI router on my tilt 2 ever since I got it, I even bought the WM WIFI Router program in the Windows Market, and that doesn't work either. Iam using the energy 27.dec.2010 and I even tried using another energy rom also, no luck. Everything goes with the startup, the device connects and I see I have a good connection, but when I try to use browser/data its saying its not connected to the online signal. Its seems to pair fine and connect but I can't use any features with data even though I have full WIFI bars and all the icons are correct. I even tried it with another sim, nothing. Anyone else having this problem?

Have you tried any other roms here on the forum to see if any of them have same issue?
fwiw the WiFi Router included in every Energy version I've flashed works fine, latest is about mid Feb I think.
Are you sure the device you're trying to connect to the phone fully supports adhoc connections? I had a Linux distro do that to me not too many years ago... everything appeared fine but wouldn't communicate through a legit version of router software that worked fine with a Windows laptop (same one actually). When I emailed tech support they apologized and told me that "feature" was still in development.
Yes they do support adhoc connections. They will both connect fine but its like its somehow not getting a signal. I can use usb to teather to media net and.connect. but still can't get the wifi router working. And also after I connect with wifi router but before I connect a.device the wifi icon that's is supposed to be blue is blinking blue before I connect a device I don't remember this happening before?

wireless stops working when I connect RAZR-i to laptop

Has anyone else observed the following?
When I connect my new RAZR-i to my Windows7 laptop, my wireless session dies and I cannot connect anymore until I disconnect my RAZR-i.
If I am connected to the internet via a LANL line/cable, connecting my phone also kills the connection but after a few seconds I am connected again (w/o having to disconnect the RAZR-i).

I'm having quite similar wifi troubles with mine phone too and so far only happens with my university wi-fi haven't had the same problem anywhere else.
My problem is when ever i try to connect to the wifi at uni after I manually put my details to connect and when its saved the signal instantly drops down to nothing and my phone tries to connect forever.
It keeps saying connecting but when I forget the wifi network the wifi signal is jumps up back to perfect. My laptop and other android devices connect fine but with this phone as soon as i connect I lose wifi signal.
I don't have wifi at home but tried it with a friends wifi and it just connects fine.
maybe its because the razr gets recognized as a Network device? Had a similar problem while using a UMTS stick. always had to reboot my laptop to get a connection again with the UMTS stick.
How can I tell my laptop that the Razr isn't a network device?

In Win7 you connect your Razr and go to the Network settings where you see all your network adapters. There you have to right click on the razr modem and deactivate it. (Not 100% sure, can't test right now)

Anyone getting wifi issues? I stay connected but can't pass any traffic

I have been having issues where i am connected to the wifi but the device stops passing any traffic. I have fing installed and i can't ping any other devices on my network. I know its just my phone because i have my work phone and tablet connected to the wifi and they still work fine browsing webpages, watching movies etc while the droid turbo can no longer communicate with the local lan or out to the internet. If i switch the wifi off then on again it will reconnect and then work normally. I can then ping devices on the local lan and access pages on the internet. This has happened a number of times now since i got the device.
Edit: I just updated the phone and still get the issue. I have a cisco WAP at home, we have cisco WAP's at work which i will test tomorrow. If this thing still has issues i am just going to swap it out for a Note 4.

Yeah this phone does not seem to like my router for some reason. Keep in mind I'm not a networking expert, but I've tried every combination of options and settings every which way from Sunday and I just can't get the thing to work. When I do connect the phone to my wifi it kills the the connection on every device in the house. At first I though it was just a wireless thing, but even the downstairs computer which is plugged in directly to the router doesn't work. Then as soon as I disconnect the phone every device works again. I thought maybe there was too many devices, so I disconnected all but the downstairs computer, still had the issue when I connected the Turbo. I've tried just turning off the WPA2 and just having an open system, I've tried connecting the phone using a WPS pin (This one actually worked for a good 5 minutes before crapping out and hasn't worked since). On the advanced options of the phone I tried an automatic IP as opposed to the default DHCP setting (This also worked for a good 5 minutes before not working ever again). I've tried limiting it to just one frequency band. I have tried so many different things and I just cannot make this phone work on my router. And I know it's my router because the phone works fine at work.
phone: Droid Turbo
Router : Asus rt-ac66r
yup within ten minutes of getting home, the device no longer passes traffic. My work S5 still works fine at home and so does my samsung tablet. The device worked on wifi all day at work on our enterprise wpa2 network no issues. I tried doing static ip at home, changing to 2.4 ghz, trying new ssid. Not sure what else to do with this thing...
Not just you
I posted a comment on Motorola's forum where people are discussing their wifi issues... And my work around. I currently beleive its a software issue and can be fixed via update. Also, today I found (it appears) that the longer the phone goes without a reboot, the shorter amount of the it appears to go with out needing the wifi card reset.

My work around fix...
First, over night my wifes phone now behaves just like mine. It now connects to wifi and after sometime passes it no longer passes data (but stays connected). I needed a way to auto disable/enable the card... I installed Tasker. I have it set to check every 15 minutes, if the phone is connected to WiFi, to disable then enable the WiFi card. I use WifiMatic to enable the wifi card when the phone is connected to the cellular tower that is near my house. (Doing this by GPS uses more battery power...) Using Tasker with the rule to verify its connected to wifi first helps not enabling wifi if its nit needed and lets WifiMatic enable/disable it as needed.
