When I turn on my phone at work, the wireless connection (open unsecured) connects and works for a few minutes. After some time, it disconnects and without rebooting my phone, I cannot establish a wlan connection.
This is oly the case at work. At home it works flawlessly, but it is another network kind.
Anyone found a solution to this problem? I saw a lot of threads about this but no good answers.
I am using duttys v3.
Not sure. Perhaps there is some sort of time out on your work network for inactive devices, or dhcp ip releases or something weird and "networky" like that?
Or perhaps your phone is going into a power save mode if you are not using it?
Just general ideas, I don't have this particular problem
I dont think many people have this issue! you must not have a setting correct, try downloading KaiserTweak and adjusting the timeout and also take a look at the routers settings I find it strange that a business would have an open network for security issues

I work at the university, and the network is unsecure. You have to enter login and pass at a webpage to gain access.
I cannot reconnect at all once ive been disconnected. So it should have anything to do with kaisertweak or timeouts.
I have tried every setting and combination. I have tried to select work/internet settings. Ive tried to tell the phone its a hidden network / not hidden network. I have tried to use power save / performance mode. Ive tried to turn off 3g, bluetooth, phone (everything basically).
When I tap connect, it says connecting and then it immediately goes to "active" and tries to connect to another network (which I dont have access to).

I have worked out the problem.. first if its a WPA enterprise connection, make sure its set to WORK and not INTERNET setting. it will work. my only works with schaps versions not duttys
on my old pda (Acer N50 premium) I had the same problem with my unis network... it would only work (if at all) for a few minutes then nada... but at home it was absolutely fine, quick stayed on and totally responsive... I wonder if it has something to do with the rubbish way unis run their IT...?

Many do not have this issue.
According to what's being said here by the indiviuals with issues, you're having problems connecting to a certain network...not all networks.
If it were all networks; your device, settings, equipment or rom would be the common denomenator. Since it's one network, it's that network.
Just because a network is or appears to be available, that doesn't mean that you can connect to it.

no, it could be the phone software. Lets says that a string is added to the registry if the network you are connected to disconnects you; a string that makes the phone cancel connections to the network. And lets assume that the network disconnected you because there is a hidden firewall in the phone software that blocks ping requests, thus making the network believe that the connection is lost and thus disconnecting you. Then we have a moment 22, which is basically something wrong with the phone.
As some readers already pointed out in this "wasted thread", when changing the rom (in one case) or when changing settings from "internet" to "work" (in the second case) there is a great possibility that this problem in fact has to do with phone software and not network.
In my case, it just happens to be neither of the mentioned solutions or any solution that I have found in other threads.
One thing you may want to check is that your wifi is set to max performance. The issue may also be that there is a DNS cache issue, in most cases it can be resolved by manually reconfiguring the connection.
I have been successful in configuring my phone's WLAN to connect to everything from open APS's, WEP, WPA, RADIUS and AP's with proxy redirects, so I can tell you that as with most cases, it's human error.
I have tried max performance.
How do I resolve a dns cache issue? Manually reconfiguring the network did not help (only thing that helps is a reboot).

Hello to all diamond people,
We all know, there is huge issue with this great phone about Wi-Fi connections. While Wi-Fi is one of the reasons people choosed touch diamond, what is their disapointment when they find out wi-fi doesn't work as it should.
I am talking about problem I am experiencing by myself - I am unable to connect to my home WPA secured and encrypted network. If I turn the security off on my router and wireless network becomes open, there is no problem at all.
But who wants unsecured, open wireless network at home, so all the neighbours can download whatever they want through your network?
Nobody.
During my research throughout forums I have come accross many people, experiencing same problem, but was not able to find the solution to the problem, or what is causing it.
My aim is to gather as many information as possible to help to fix this problem, so everyone could use wi-fi on their own home WPA secured wireless network.
Any ideas?
What is your ROM and radio versions? I've no problem connecting to my WPA enabled network. Which WPA option did you choose? It must match the same WPA option on your router. There are WPA, WPA-PSK, WPA2, and WPA2-PSK, then there are also TKIP and AES to choose from. Try setting both Diamond and router to use WPA-PSK (TKIP) first, this should have the highest compatibility with other WPA supported devices on your network. And make sure you use a strong passphrase, you can use a WPA key generator.
Hey,
both router and HTC are set to WPA -PSK under TKIP encryption. I use my own network key.
The thing is, in wireless lan manager i can see htc does connect, but only for about a second, then it starts reconnecting all over again.
Sometimes it does connect and works for few minutes and sometimes it does connect to router, but not to the internet. It drives me absolutely mad.
I tried Advanced Config -> Network -> WPA authentication - enabled/disabled, but still experiencing problems.
I have heard there used to be issues with ROMs provided by the network operators, but that is not my case.
ROM: DIB Diamond v 1.33
RADIO: 1.00.25.05
WPA secured
Hey,
If You want to use WPA secured wireless networks with Diamond go to Settings-Wireless LAN-Power Mode and there set Power Save Mode to Best Performance. It works
Sorry for my English...

I guess it's probably not your ROM, since the DIB Diamond v1.33 is based on the newer 2.03 ROM. I was wondering, do other devices on your network have the same issue or it's only the Diamond? Connection dropping can be many reasons, and one of them is the router itself.

I don't have any problem even in Power Save mode.
Somewhere I have come accross the information some routers (particullary Belkins) do have problem with windows mobile devices.
Today I wrote to Belkin Support, thay should reply in 72 hours mad, however we may know more.
Since I am using unsecured wireless network now, at least I have activated the MAC addresses lock - only allowed MAC addresses can connect to router now. What do you think, how secure is that? There is no encryption now, could someone see the sommunication between me and the router?
Which Belkin router are you using? Check if there is a firmware update, you may want to try that.
MAC address filtering should be ok for now, it can stop the majority of people who try to use your network, it will take someone with a bit more networking knowledge to gain access to your network, but most people don't have that knowledge.
Yes, people can capture any unencrypted packets and read them. But if you're connecting to a secure website through HTTPS or any other secure protocols, the packets are still unreadable. For example, in the browser, if it's written https instead of http on the address bar, those sites are secure. Most regular websites are not secure though.
I was having a similar problem on my Touch Pro a while back. My router is also set to WPA-PSK/TKIP. Although you said you tried it, the solution for me was indeed to go into Advanced Config > Network > WPA Authentication > Disabled. I then removed all previous wifi settings and then added them again, and it connected without a problem.
It could be that there's something else preventing your connection, but from what I can tell you should at least have that setting disabled.

its pretty secure, as you cant guess the password, you would have to get in and add your device to the list (which you would need the username and password for)
When I turn off tethering and I end the task in task manager, it still shows up on view wireless networks on my computer. Does the program always stay running or something? I don't understand, thanks for any answers.
I noticed that behavior as well. I think, though I am not certain, this is due to the nature of ad-hoc wireless networks:
When you joined the network you became part of the G1Tether network. When you stopped the tethering however your computer can remain a part of the ad-hoc network. An ad-hoc network is nothing more than a group of nodes that agree to transmit on the same frequency with the same ID. Individual nodes can come an go from the network without invalidating it. In this case your laptop would be the last node. If you were to restart tethering the G1 would in essence be re-joining an existing ad-hoc network.
The fact that the G1 was the DHCP and gateway provider makes the network of limited utility without it, but it can go on existing.
Does that make sense?
Greetings,
I am just curious if there is a method in Android to allow for a notification/alert/popup etc if when connected to WIFI, there is no actual internet connectivity?
Currently, if I am at work, connected to a WIFI point, and someone unplugs the internet input from the wireless router, but leaves the router on, the Galaxy Tab believes it is connected to WIFI. It retains full signal as it should, however, programs that rely on connectivity wont generally tell me they can not connect.
The connection doesnt fall over to mobile data, as it believes it is connected ok to WIFI.
I wont receive emails, instant messages etc until I realize what has happened and disable wifi.
I am hoping for a method, be it a setting, or a program, to show my a little indicator when connectivity fails? Perhaps the check can be done during one of the many account syncs, or even a manual setting / check-time etc.
Cheers
None of the market apps I have found do this.
Is this something more suited to the dev section or even apps? My hopes of a simple hidden setting seem to be fading.
Cheers
At first I thought I may have had a faulty device, but I've been messing around and testing things, and I've concluded that my phone is causing my wifi router to lose connectivity. If I turn the wifi off on my HTC the router works fine with all other devices (laptop, iphone5, google tv) but once I turn the wifi on I lose connection briefly. I connect to wifi fine and my router shows a stable connection, but as soon as I start to browse or stream anything I will lose connection for about 20 seconds across all devices. I'm not too knowledgeable when it comes to networks, so I'm a bit dumbfounded. I've tried changing DNS servers, set IP to static, reserved DHCP in my router settings, but nothing is working. Does anybody have any suggestions?
