so no WiFi for me??until I get my router?

Well, since it's quite unusual for a home router to not be using DHCP, I'd be a little surprised if that's the problem (though it could be). The other possibility is that the phone's firmware just needs an update; if you get a pre-GD2 phone then update should come soon.
What error do you get after entering the password?

WiFi not working

After upgrading to WM5 wifi access points r deceted but does not connect, no error messages just, says connection ten after a while it says avaible and does not connect
.........................
o come on guys 116 views but no replies?
What ROM are you using? Has this problem just started since upgrading to a new / diffrent ROM or has it suddenly appeared on a ROM you have been using for a while?
If it's suddenly happened on a ROM you have been using for a while try a hard reset if you can.
I have a Wi-Fi problem in Helmi BA WM2k5 AKU3.2 Beta (v.1.3.3 Beta), but the 1.3.2 Beta works fine so just went back to that version.
Well my ROM infomation is Below in Sig.
WiFi worked fine when i used the softwear which came witht eh phone but after upgrading to WM5 WiFi does not work
I upgraded to (see Below)
Try using this new ROM, it's a diffrent version to the one your using and I've had no problems with it. Make sure after you do the flash you do a hard reset - you'll have problems if not.

ty i will try
I have none of these problems with WiFi, I can connect without any problems. Now, actually using the link causes me the odd issue (it tries dialing GPRS anyway), but that's an entirely different thing altogether.
xiokai, revert back to WM2003 and check WIFI.
sorry to interput the post here, but can someone tell me how to connect to wifi? there is a wifi zone near me that i should be able to connect to but for some reason my phone wont do it, any one got any tips?

If you have a recent WM5 ROM, there is sometimes an icon of a padlock in the network list next to the hotspot. This indicates that the connection is secure and you need the password.
There are other ways to secure a hotspot such as using a publicly accessing log-on network that bounces you onto a private one or only allows access once you've authenticated. These are less common though, mostly hotels/airports etc. If you see the network without a padlock and you still can't get a proper IP address and ping google (try vxUtil and vxIpConfig) it may be one of these more complicated ones.
You could ask the person who runs the hotspot! Be aware that using a hotspot without permission may be illegal where you live.
Hey guys, Internet Explorer doesn`t work correctly after the Rom has been loaded for some reason, so just try another browser. I had that WIFI issuse for some time not but since i got Opera mobile it isn`t a problem.
xiokai, have you checked your Wifi encryption settings? I just had the same symptoms on a Blue Angel (WM2003SE), a Wizard(WM5) and a friend's phone, and it turned out none of them could handle WPA2.
I'd enabled it on my network as it was supposed to be more secure, and found that when it was disabled (I reverted to WPA-PSK) my Wizard connected first time, perfectly. Haven't tried the Blue Angel yet, but that works fine at my folks' house.
Another thread about BA not connecting to WPA-PSK:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/archive/index.php/t-257076.html
Thanks for the info and link uberdeity.
Does anyone know if there is anyone working on WPA2-PSK support for the BA, and/or if it is at all possible?

TYTN II WiFI would not activate

Friends,
I've been proud of my TYTN II for the last thre months that I've owned it... until recently though.
Last week, my WiFi connection stopped getting activated/swichted on. Howsoever, I may try, it would not get activated, leave alone discover the network.
I tried re-flashing it, soft-resetting, hard-resetting, I mean practically everything I could, but to no avail.
Has anyone faced this problem before, and found a solution to the same. Would appreciate if you could share the same with me. I really do not want to take it for servicing, as I fear it would take me easily a week to get it back if I take it to the Workshop.
Thanks in advance,
Atul
Let me ask a couple of questions.
Can you turn wifi on or do you get an error?
If wifi turns on does it see any access points?
have you flashed your rom on your phone?
have you tried another access point for wifi?
do you have any wifi applications installed like wififofum?
Hi Chumley,
thanks for the prompt response...
I do not get any error, not even any message hen I try to activate the WiFi. Just that the rainbow circle keeps rotating (hour-glass equivalent of indows), and then shows the WiFi is still inactive (small x near the WiFi icon).
I tried re-flashig with the latest ROM available on the HTC website, but to no avail.
Trying another access point does not help either, neither would it, I guess, since its not a problem of signal strength, as much as it seems to be of the Wireless on the Kaiser not getting activated.
No 3rd party applications installed either, after the last re-flashing, still no luck.
Anything from the above, that rings a bell?
If it does it after a flash I would think you have a defective wireless adapater. Sorry.
Guess it should not be a problem as mine is still under warranty... just abt. 3 months old. But my only worry is, as I mentioned in the original post, the time it would tk. to get it fixed by the Service Centre, or if at all it is a correctible problem... I think time to ask for a favour from a friend... a standby mobile while I await mine back
If you let it go free and it comes back, then it's yours forever.
Hello, same problem here:
two days ago my wifi connection stopped suddenly and cannot activate it from the comm manager. When I click in the WIFI Icon, rainbow circle keeps rotating and PDA perfomance goes down.
any ideas :?
Hueznar,
I've already given mine for repair at Service Centre two days back, and am still awaiting it back.
Shall let you know how it goes once I get it back
WiFi would not activate: Motherboard concked off
My PDA motherboard conked off... and it wud take 3 weeks to get it back with a new motherboard !!
Oh My God !!

@ Iatul
Are you sure this is the only reason & solution, for I have an IDENTICAL matter of the problem, but I never thought something was wrong with the HardWare..., damn I love HTC
I know I saw this thread too late (and finally) but if you please could respond with any news?
thanx
I'm not sure what is wrong with my Wifi...need help
I don't know why...really.
The comm manager stays on good, but when I try an access point it starts with the Connecting... then after a few seconds it stops and goes Unavailable.
My router works good with my bros and sis MAC books.
So I have no idea why.
Can anyone help?

ssid? is this in the router menu?
So.. I tried what you said and didn't worked.
I think it has to be something set in the edit options...
Could you help me?
yeah ssid is the id for the wireless network
i'm not sure why it worked for me... should'nt have made a difference.
have you tried different wireless channels on the router?
increase the power output?
sorry man i don't really know enough about it but happy to try.. pm me if i can answer your question i will
looks like this guy had a similar problem... have you tried what he did?

Wifi access point problem
I had a problem where suddenly after months of use with my home wifi router, it suddenly would not connect with the router anymore. Would show that it was trying to connect, and then would suddenly not connect and try another router on the list.
I tried reseting and everything. Tried re-entering the password for my router as I thought that was the problem. finally the only fix i found to work was to actually delete the access point from the phone... then reset and then let it find it all over again from scratch. And miraculously that time it worked.
I know this is not exactly your problem, but hope it helps.

By changing it to channel 1 in my router, it kinda worked..
It says Available now. Nothing else... The connect option it still there button left.
That's my update.
just in case letting you know that I disabled all MEdia net and ISP GPRS so I won't get charged because I'm not paying for my onlince services or any mobile plan with internet.
My brother told me that all WIFI connects directly to internet and it won't matter if I don't have a plan for mobile.
Correct me here, if im wrong.
Thanks.

[Q] X1 unable to see my WiFi

Hello everyone!
I just received a X1 from Rogers yesterday as my previous phone got busted and this was available as one of their replacements. It's a lot to take in but i'm getting along the path of modding this and flashing it. My current issue though is with the WiFi. I am trying to connect to my home network but it's not seeing it. It finds my neighbors which is puzzling. Another oddity is that my iPod touch and laptop can easily see the router and are able to login once the password is put through. Other people who have come over in the past are able to get on as well.
Any idea why this might be happening?
The router is a Linksys WRT160Nv2 if that helps any.
Thanks in advance!
Find Wifi Power Mode,Switch it to Best performance.
My router is wrt300n v2 and my phone is atom v,I have same problem

WiFi Issues ... Need help =\

I've searched and didn't find a thread regarding my issue.
Everyday whenever I come home from work I'm having trouble reconnecting to my WiFi at home. My Nexus 7 , Nexus 4 and ever my GF's LG G3 connects to it. My nexus 6 on the other hand never connects Automatically. I'm always given the "Authentication Error" until I reboot. Is this a known issue or is it just me?
Nexus 6 (T-Mobile)
Thank you

No.
Try and reboot your router with a 30 second removal of power source.

=\ its not the Router since all my other Devices Connect Automatically. Since you don't have this issue then I'm guessing its only my Device. Meh... I'll call T-Mobile today.

Before you do, do what I suggested. It is irrelevant that other devices connect. I work in IT support and it is very common that the router causes an issue with just 1 of several devices connecting. 90% chance that in your case it is not the router, but this should always be your first step. This is why I suggested you should do it.
Will do thanks

Turns out its an issue with my phone. T-Mobile will send a new one tomorrow. And since I'm in the Jump Program I'll get it in a day. Bad news is I tried getting the white version but can't since it has to be the same. Meh
Thank you though
For reference, my phone has the problem too sometimes. I assumed is was ROM related however.
Last night it wouldn't connect to my AC1900 for over 10 mins. Multiple reboots of both. Then will periodicslly disconnect. Also took over 5 minutes to reconnect to cellular data after disabling WiFi.
I am having the same problems. The way I know it's not my phone or rom. Because it kicks everything off the computer ps4 other phones. It's the router I read on Google that sometimes you have to update the router drivers. I tried that but of course you need a user name and password. Since it's not mine and the person's that it belongs to has not a clue? We know the password for the wifi but not to configure the router. Especially since the router is about 5yrs old we have know disc or the computer it was set up on.
@jason504,
You could try typical shipping:
Username - "admin"
Password - "password"

Did not work I have tried everything I can to come up with this username and password. It's not mine so, I always use the same password for everything to much to remember.

One other thing you could try. Go to the manufacturer's website, and download the owner's/setup guide. It usually lists the default username and password. By chance, if it's a Motorola, the default password is often "motorola".
I get the authentication error no matter what Rom I use, and I get the error on all the WiFi networks I connect to. How did you come up with it being the phone? It seems like it has to be.

Wifi issue after MM update

Hi guys! Can you help me out! I installed several MM Roms, as i can not connect to certain wifi networks. I installed many of them to troubleshoot my phone. I have no idea why i can not connect, why it stucks. . It stucks at obtaining IP adress. Before i first install the marsmallow on 5.x.x series i was able to connect to any wifi network (obviously if i had the network key), but now i can not connect to my workplace wifi, also at my friend. At home it is all OK. All networks are 2.4ghz. Other then this i can not see 5ghz networks. i saw a solution for that, but most adb drivers are for x86 even if it says its for x64 systems (or either im too noob, buti can not install them on win10). But the main issue, which pisses me off, is the problem with 2.4Ghz networks. Does any of you have any solution for that. Furthermore, have any of you faced this problem before??? Thanks anyway!

Yes, i tried that, thanks. The problem doesnt seem to be the encryption, as its passes through. The issue is with obtaining IP address. Maybe in MM they changed the way that DHCP(IP address obtaining) works. If i can not find a way to change that, i will have to revert back to Lollipop.

Oh! I see... that is a pitty! I'm thinking in advance to Android 6.0, but i hear several issues about it. So, meantime I´ll keep android 5! Hope you finda solution, best regards.
Hi Guys!
Accidently i found the solution for the issue. I share it with you, in case if anyone interested. If you tap 5 or 6 times on the build number, you'll be able to become developer. After this you go to the developer options, then scrolling down, you'll find an option to revert back to Lollipop tipe DHCP. If you tick that, you can connect to any wifi network. (in case if you have the network key) You'll no longer stuck at "obtaining IP address"... Hope that helps
