JAMin WiFi Problem

HI ALL
Got my JAMin now a week nd have ever since being tryng to connect to my wireless network. Basically my device detects a network but when i attempt to connect it says connecting then the network on the device says unavailable. I have tried 5 different routers/access points (secure and unsecure) but the same thing happens.
It connects for like 3 seconds sometimes assigns IP signal goes up around 3/4 way then poof gone.
I have UPGRADED ROM to latest.
I have disabled all security options on my router.
I have also enabled MAC address filtering and assigned my device address to MAC filter and disabled WEP.
I have disabled FIrewall on my router.
I have changed to B & G mixed mode.
I have done everything logical to assist in connecting to my wirelss network.
I have also been communicating with the Imate representitves via online chat support but they not much of help saying that the problem lies with my router and/or settings. But 5 different access points/routers cannot be faulty.
I really love the phone apart from the fact that i cannot connect to my wireless network/s.
I would appreciate help on sorting this out..dont really want to send the phone back unless it is a faulty unit.
Regards
:roll:

Hi,
if u go to the /Settings/Connections/Wireless Lan/Power Mode
Select the Best Performance, instead of in the middle, it got me
connected to the Wireless Network in the office.
Maybe this helps, but at the expense of the battery.
Rgds,
Hon

Thank you for your help my friend but i have already tried that. I feel like i am going circles. :roll: :roll:
Thanks.....
Awaiting more help
Regards

Same with my orange spv m600 (original rom) he just don't work with my router!
I tried to change any existing option!
I think that the DHCP don’t work good the m600 don’t get IP from the router
But I can connect to other networks most of them (G)

Mate you can atleast connect to other networks i cannot AT ALL.
Dont know what to do, will now try and get my device replace...keeping my fingers crossed.

Hi,
I had the same problem... it is hardware disfunction, get your device replaced by your provider, this is the only solution you have.
I get mine replaced and now it work perfectly (I had done everything you've done too)
Hope it helps.

Hi,
I've had exactly the same problem. My S200 connects and then disconnects within 5 seconds.
The solution is to go to "Settings" - "Connections"
select "Wireless LAN", select "menu", "network adapters"
and select "SDIO WLAN Wireless Adapter."
My problem was solved.

I'll reply to myself:
didn't solve the problem.
Looks like I have no problems the fist time I connect (after a reboot)
It's the next times I try it keeps dropping the connection.
I'll take it back to the shop as well.

Have you already tried -as already posted- /Settings/Connections/Wireless Lan/Power Mode and select the Best Performance setting instead of the central, middle position? This solved all my problems with S200 and WiFi intermittent connection, where with default setting it connects and lose connection every 5 seconds...

Wifi problem

I hope someone can help me. My new xda exec will not detect wifi anywhere. I can get it to work when sync lead to my laptop but I just found out it is routing to my laptops network connection. I have gone through all the settings and cannot find anything wrong it just keeps on saying scanning network

Hi Simba1623,
I'm new to XDA's but have been playing with WiFi networks for a while.
So i'll have a couple of guess's :wink:
Is the router broadcasting its SSID ?
Do you have spare IP's available ?
Have you added the MAC address if you've got MAC flittering switched on ?
All are common causes for devices not finding the network.

Thanks for responding. The id issue is sorted as when I first setup the xda it did work and asked me for password and worked fine. Then the following day stopped. There is plenty of address left and it won't work anywhere. Regarding mac address I have no idea but will cheack with a friend. When I bought the XDA I was assured it would pretty much work out of the box...... and it did for one day Thanks again :?

Try to delete the connection settings associated with your router (in the wireless manager), hopefully that should allow you to "discover" the router again and fingers crossed it should stay working

Thanks I just I tried that. It didn't work straight away but following full shutdown and battary removal it seems to be working now. Fingers crossed it stays

Wifi signal almos DEAD, very strange
Hi, My O2 Exec has problems with the WIFI connection, no matter where I go, if O2 Exec isn't really near the access point, will not detec or connect to the wireless network.
when I say near, is around 1 meter from the access point antenna, if I go more tham 3 meters, goes almot 100% oofline and 4 meters even detect. It happens at home and at work, in both locations my laptop works fine 40m from the access point and my nokia 9500 (cel I used to have) goes 30m, I've made this tests of distance today.
So... seems to be on My O2Exec the problem... ... I think started when I upgraded the ROM to latest build available at my-xda.
Please, any clue? I already changed performance/battery from the control panel/wireless and even reset many times, updated the rom again.. no clue at all...
HELP!!!!

hi,
i am new to networking esp. wifi. i am not sure how and from where can i get mac address for my device, its a siemens sx66 (w/o cam) have upgraded to ivan's latest rom. please help

o2 atom wifi issues
Hi there,
I also have had the same problems with my o2 Exec, when I first turned it on, it wouldn't detect any access points, after driving myself nuts with trying to work out what was wrong, I eventually put it down to the phone. so I rang O2 and they told me to send it back. Strangely just after that phone call it detected the network and has been working fine. Until last night when it decided that it couldn't connect again. It still sees the network, but will not connect, even though it says that it is available.
Also a couple of days ago the speakers in the phone stopped working after I used the radio with the headset. After putting the headset back in and pulling it out about 20 times. it did work again. but not before I went CRAZY AND HARD RESET THE DAM THING.
I hate this phone, I have owned the o2 mini and the jasjam, this is the worst of them........
I am selling mine as soon as I get O2 to replace this piece of crap.

SOS !!! Help !!! Cingular 8525 and WifFi

Folks,
I am desperate and I need help - I have had a Cingular 8525 for about a month now. Everything was going fine till Christmas day -
exactly a day after my 30 day return period :-(.
The issue is that every time I turn on Wifi, my device finds countless connections (I live in an apartment complex filled with
young professionals). From here, I go nowhere but downhill. If the phone goes to sleep while the WIFI is turned on, it does not wake up
at all. I do the only one thing that remains to be done and that is reset the phone. This time the device boots up however
the WiFi is still turned on and the phone shows a big exclamation where the bars are supposed to be. Then I get an
error "The Operation failed". Even a clear storage does not solve the issue. If I keep the phone turned off for about a day
and go to a location where there are no Wifi networks, everything is fine again.
I got Cingular to send me a Warranty Exchange device and Lo and Behold, I have the same problems with the second phone
too. I spoke with data device support and they asked me to go to a Cingular store where the device works fine as there are
no WiFi networks there.
I cannot return, cannot use my phone to the fullest extent and am in despair. Can someone tell me if there is any miracle that
I can utilize at this time. Please help !!!
p.s. - I have never installed any third party apps on the phones.

Cannot take time to answer this right now but, the answers are alraedy posted on this board. It does not sound as if there is anyting wrong with the phone except the not waking up part which is a known issue and also documented here. Also try the Wiki http://wiki.xda-developers.com/index.php?pagename=HTC_Hermes
I will check in again later
Mike

Mike,
Any help is appreciated. None of the topics below cover issues with WiFi. Once I turn on the WiFi, it will not turn off even with a hard reset or soft reset and then the phone shows the exclamation "!" !!!

Well just for starters I'm going to suggest that you DO add two applications - most importantly Magic Button
http://www.trancreative.com/mb.aspx
With this tool installed you will be able to see from the task bar what programmes are running on your device. (You may or may not know that applications that are opened and then shutdown with the X at top right corner are NOT actually closed but running in the background. Magic Button will allow you to see these and close them down - particularly Active Sync which will get in the way of your WiFi connection.
I think you are not getting any wifi connection but you are detecting networks from folks around you?? Does it detect your own network? and if so at what stage do you have a problem.
If your own network is being detected but the usual means of connecting e.g. by entering WEP key is failing then you might want to install an application called Hitchhiker http://www.kasuei.com/hitchhiker/ this application resolves various conflicts and will re-establish IP address and will allow you to enter the WEP key or even copy and paste it in. Once run and connected hopefully, you can close down Hitchhiker (if you want to) and connect to wifi by your normal route (Hitchhiker will have saved the connection information to the standard locations so you don't need to use Hitchhiker each time you want to connect) (Note you must also download and install the .Net Framework a link for which is also given on the Hitchhiker page given above)
Finally (for now) you say Wifi is on all the time even after soft reset. But you can switch it off, in more than one way. Here's one way, below the on/off switch right hand side is another hard key for the "Communications Manager" . On the screen that comes up you will see an aerial with waves radiating from it. Tapping will close and tapping again will re-open. Here you can also open and close the phone function, though I never close mine.

WiFi useless in my opinion on the Xperia

1. It disconnects automatically too frequently
2. I have a secure network and I have to enter the 100 digit (seems like) password everytime
3. Sometimes wont' connect at all.
The signal strength is 100% too.
Anybody else have this issue???
Is there a program that can monitor and connect automatically (remembering password) to help me???
Many thanks.

Mine is OK. Only have to enter the password once for the first time. Mine only disconnect when I turn the WiFi off via Communication Manager.

Im with craven.... My WiFi works perfectly.

My WiFi works flawlessly.
There is SPB Wireless for monitoring only.It does not help you reconnect. Good program.
Did you try to adjust the slider on WiFi settings towards Best Performance instead of Best Battery (it's on Power Mode in WiFi settings, from Communications Manager) ?
Maybe you have installed some crappy sofware that takes over your wireless settings(it happend to me when i installed some software- i don't remember it's name right now).

nope mine's ok. doesn't turn unless you specify. Reception is not bad either.

no problem with my xperia...

No problem with Linksys WRT54GL at all. Maybe you should check your router's settings.

Only twice had I needed to re-enter my WPA passkey, but otherwise it's great. Able to enjoy the web whilst in bed and a lot faster than my old P990.

It happened to me twice.
Though no problem lately.
As a little trick, you can use a text file (or whatever code protection software) to store the key and do a copy/paste if you don't want to type the code all over again.

I had this problem at first... I didnt know why it would keep disconnecting...then i figured it out..the wifi disconnects when the phone is in standby. Schaps advanced configuration tool fixed it quick and now im enjoying it very much =)

many people have success upgrading the firmware of their routers to fix
such issues

wifi working grt in my x1
once i entered wep key
now its working grt

You shouldn't use WEP, you can crack WEP under a minute now and even if you use a while "mac" list it's not safe enough since you got the MAC addresses just listening the packets.

my x1 works perfect on wifi. not loosing connection, set up the wlan key at the first time and it was saved forever. have tried it on 5 wlans and everywhere without problems... is think wifi and the gps are the only things that are sophisticated 100% on the x1 ^^

It is good only if you have a usb connection or 110/220V nearby as always on wifi drains the battery in a half day
BTW: the wifi reconnect after suspend is really fast here, almost every time 1-2 sec.

mine is just fine, my home wifi uses a 11 digit password, just had to put in once and never again, doesn't disconnect randomly, only when disable the wifi obviously.
you should check with your warranty, see if they can do something about it, cause your case isn't normal.

have you all changed it to best performance in the settings?
im sitting right next to my router...and it loses connection now? this is quite annoying. i put the slider in the middle.. i sometimes leave wifi on when im asleep at home. so i like to keep it in the middle? whats the deal?

haha...about the Xperia wifi problem,just off your bluetooth b4 u try to use the wifi.
i think xperia is sharing wifi and bluetooth in the same device support.
i been test many time....when open bluetooth the wifi is weak and keep disconnect..
if this problem can't slove it then i think u better send to service center to fix it.

I actually found a problem in the Wifi/Wireless configuration.
I have 2 WPA protected routers with long keys/passwords. I found that if I enter the keys for both, the X1 would only remember ONE of them. I tried this by trying to save the password on either one of the WPA routers, and would only remember the FIRST one entered. So if you entered a 2nd one, it would always forget it, and you would need to manually re-enter the password again. Sure, it would connect, but then after it disconnects or you leave the area, then re-enter the area, it already forgot the password again.

i dont have bluetooth on and this is getting pretty annoying..
are you guys all using best performance?

Wifi doesn't work on my Acer n311

Hello everyone
I got a Acer n311 yesterday and I'm very happy but I've got a big problem with the Wifi.
I can turn it on so I guess it's not an hardware issue and it recognize my personnal Wifi (it appears in the available access point list). But when I try to connect to this network, status become 'connecting' for 5 seconds and then it goes back to 'available' without showing any message. Of course, I can't connect to the Internet
My network is password protected but i also putted my router into 'no-password mode' but it doesn't changed anything.
I don't know what to do :s
Thanks in advance for your help
PS: Sorry for my bad English

many wifi routers don't play nicely with mobile devices
unless one update the routers firmware to the latests
and they update them continuously
luckey it's pretty easy to update router firmware

Thanks Rudegar
I'm contacting USRobotics by email. I'm gonna wait their answer but I hope it's not the reason I can't access.
However, I don't think that is the cause because I've got an iPod Touch and there is no problem connecting with it.
Waiting...

mailing the router maker to ask about such things is
kinda like mailing your tv cable dealer to ask wahts on the telly
at best you will get a reply in a few weeks linking to the firmware
you could find in mins youself on their site
one thing you could try is to pull the plug of the router for 10sec or something like that
many routers dhcp get a bit crazy after awhile
and of cause troubleshoot trying to connect to friends and public wifi's

I just received their answer now and there are telling that it is a security problem on my routeur. Of course, it doesn't help me at all
My routeur is automaticaly unplugged at midnight so unplug is not the solution but I'm going to try to connect to a public wifi when I'll find one.
I'll let you know if it works
Thanks again

I've similar problem with my n311 in WM6, except that with security off, I can connect, otherwise I can't even see the SSID of the router. I checked with different brand and netgear seems the worst.
This is something I'd experienced with my SE Xperia X1 with the same OS.
