Dear All
I just purchased O2 XDa IIi in UK, when I use wifi at the 1st time, it is good, but suddently it stop and now can not detect the wifi signal at wifi-cafe while other people around me still use it good.
Try hardreset but the problem still persist.
Is the device at faulty? how to solve this
Best regards
Tuan
are you sure you are not connected? when the xda2i detects a network it recognises, it will not launch the screen that gives you the option to connect to that network, it will just automatically try to connect.
I suggest that next time you are in the cafe, turn on tour wifi, and launch internet explorer, and see what happens. If the wifi cafe needs vouchers to access then the browser will ask you for details, which means you are on line.
Alternativley, go to a new wifi hotspot location and try there and see if the xda2i prompts you to connect to that new network.
Good Luck!

Hi
Thank for your reply
The device do not recogize wifi, i try nearly ten hotspot locations but results are the same.
Do you suggest any advice? i think the device may be faulty due to hardware problem
Best regards
Tuan
damn, sounds like it could be a hardware issue, I have heard other forum users complaints about wifi going wrong, other than sending it back for a replacement, I am stumped. Sorry.
I’v hade the same problem.
When I first received my device wifi was really good, within a week if could not even detect a network.
It started with the unreliable data transfer but still having a good signal strength,
to no data transfer but still with good signal strength,
to no signal / no network connection. No network detection
o2 replaced my device but the new one is still a little poor & slow picking up networks and sometimes never detects networks. Far form what the xdaIIi was like first time I tried it.

At the risk of being shot down, have you tried your IIi at another location. There is every chance the hotspot you're using is degrading rather than IIi!
Is it hot there right now? (sorry for being ignorant!). Condensation can form inside the aerials, and water is a killer for radio coverage. Perhaps put it somewhere dry for a few hours to absorb the moisture?

hi
Thank for your email. I tried it in nearly all hotspot in my hometown. Even to ask some of my friend bring their device (Lapton, HP, T-mobile...) sat next to me to check. They are using wifi very well except me (
The device is totally dry for sure. I already soft reset, hard reset but found no thing change.
I guess there must be problem with hardware
Hope O2 do the same like what other computer manufactures do is to take back all error devices? they must do it

if a hotspot is already in yr list of networks, it'll not prompt, otherwise it'll ask u "XXXX-XXX network found, it connects to Work / internet "
another probable cause for not getting any data transfers after connecting to wifi is that the network selection is wrong. try checking the network settings and changing the same. I'm in vietnam and its working fine with me.

Hi
i think wifi is automatically search for network, and it will prompt if detect successfully, but mine is nothing, no search, no detection, i do not change any network settings. it is just like when i brought in in UK.

Anyone else noticed that the Jasjar will disconnect all network connections if you put in into standby for more than 5 mins?
my XDAII never did that and I keep my mesenger programs on all the time. The Jasjar drops me out after 5 mins of standby and its getting very annoying.
Anyone know if theres a hidden setting/registry setting i can force it to stay on? I dont have the dissconnect if not used checkbox checked for wireless and there doesnt seem to be one for GPRS/3G.
Thanks
Stot
Well it seems that its only doing this for my WiFi connection not GPRS/3G but its a pain in the posterior. Id like to recieve messages when in the warehouse on wifi and the unit is in standby :?

Do you have the power saving set for the WiFi?
well the best I can do is slide the slider to the "best performance" end and make sure the turn off if not used checkbox isn't checked. its not actually turning off the wireless its just dropping connection til I open the device agiain then it re-connects
cheers

Hmmm I was quite sure my MDA Pro didn't do that. You're right - it certainly doesn't for 3G / GPRS. Quite possible to close the device and leave it, then come back a bit later and still be on MSN etc.
but I thought mine did it on WiFi too?
For the mobile signal time to time it try to pick wcdma instead of GSM if it doesnt find the WCDMA then it goes for GSM... after a while again it search for it...
You can disable this by going to Start-Settings-Personal-Phone & Then under Band u will find Auto which you can set it to GSM which will stay to GSM instead searching for WCDMA time to time...
well if you would like to give it a try Timetex, and anyone else, I'd love to know if its just me. make sure GPRS doesn't kick in, maybe turn off the phone. I'm using Jasjars 1.13 updated rom from clubimate.
Cheers
Stot
If anyone followed this and didnt like it either I came up with a work around.
I sent my power settings to NEVER turn off on battery. the Backlight still will but the unit doesnt. Now with the Jasjar we have a clam design and I dont know about you but when im not using it its closed, i.e. screen and backlight off.
Tested this all out today, on 3G and GPRS for 1/2 the day, WiFi the rest. Took a number of photos, listened to an album, made some phone calls. Average use. It lasted all day and still has 32% battery left. Plus when I open it up, BING its on every time and it stays connected to the WiFi.
Dont spose there are reg settings that decide what turns off when you close the clam?
Cya
Stot.
search for "GPRS always on" - it;s solved several times on this forum
Hi all!
I have a nagging problem with my wifi-connection.
First of all -> sitting next to the wifi-router works perfect. So it does work.
But, walking to the next room, the connection drops dead.
Strange thing is that PeekPocket finds the network (it's in Red, and 90db?)
On my laptop, the connection is perfect throughout the house.
On configuring wireless networks, it just doesn't pop-up when removed.
It seems like the built-in wifi manager makes the reception worse. Any options I could do? Like other radio rom, or software?
I use WM5 now!
Thanx!
Power Mode
PDA devices haven't powerful GPS receiver.
You can change Wireless LAN settings more performance.
-Goto Wireless LAN settings.
-Click to Power Mode
-Change meter to left (best performance). But your device will charge more battery

GPS? it's 'bout wlan..
That what you wrote maybe makes better a little data transfer; but anyway it can't improve the range of wifi.
I have the same problem .. and wondering how to add an additional internal wlan antenna (home made)
my solution..

my solution at home; I bought 7dbi antenne for my adsl modem
Hmm. I understand.
But.. don't you mind the better way is to increase wifi range of prophet?
There must be on prophet's PCB place where is possible to connect even
a short cable with 1/4 L antenna (~3 cm).
So, i need a service manual.. or other electronic schema..
..but i have googled for many hours and for now, i've got nothing :/
I'm glad to see it's a common problem
Funny thing is that my laptop shows 'perfect connection', and my phone finds 'nothing' :lol:
It's a hardware thing I guess. Where is that antenna?

Exactly. Wififofum or other wireless scaner shows -90dbm even if signal is quite good in fact (good for example, said laptop). In few centimeters near AP signal grows to about -50dbm
(on other PDA, loox 420 shows -17dbm in that situation).

Yes. is a hardware issue.
Antenna is under the upper case, above the battery. it's a piece of metal..
about electronic diagram i have wrote in other topic, but it's without reply :/
( -> http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=355046 )
Maybe I can help you with that issue in a few days.
I know a person who fixes these phones at a company that fix phones. He usually knows where all the hardware things are.
But there must be some people here who would know so?

EDIT
I just did what you said, and flipped the cover on the top back (it's just clicked). At the moment of doing that, it finds the Wifi-signal and now I 'm connected :S
Really strange.
Hi,
I have same problem, I buy 7db antena and 13db antena for my router, but nothing special. Only one bar in room where before nothing, but it go down aboute every min.
Where I can plug this 7db anten on my prophet? or do you thing when I plug it, it can work?
for the scheme you might want to check this out....

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?
I don't know if it's only since my update to 3.1, but the Wifi Disconnect Policy doesn't seem to work.
I set it to Disconnect on Screen Off - but the pad is still tinkling away receiving email -- and still pingable across the WLAN.
Is anyone else finding this?
-Craig
Yes I'm pretty sure I see the same. It is hard to be 100% sure as the battery use data seems broken, but I've seen wireless activity almost constantly from the asus to my router when the screen is off.
I also have issues at time with connecting to a network, it loops trying to get an IP address, turning the wifi off then on solves that problem, but it is a pain to have to do that....
I use JuiceDefender to disable WiFi when screen is off. I had already bought it for my phone where I want my data to be off at night while I'm asleep, so it didn't cost me anything to use it on my Tablet also. There is a free version you can try with few settings/controls. The paid versions add additional settings/customizations.
Wi-Fi will disconnect from AP after screen off 15 mins when Wi-Fi disconnect policy is set to "When screen turns off".
It's Android behavior.
Aha! Having done more tests (and being more patient ) It does indeed turn off after 15mins..
Cool.
(Would have been better if the setting description wasn't misleading...)
Hi,
yes after further testing it does indeed seem to turn off eventually. However once it is off it seems to have problems re-connecting when you turn the device back on again. I typically have to disable/enable WiFi to get it to work. Anyone else seeing this?

Yup - on occasion. About 10% of the time. Seems to be when I move between two different SSIDs (i.e. when I get to the office, or when I return home)
Would be happy to investigate, if someone could point me at any log/debug info that's accessible...?

I get that too
I now have a widget to turn off wifi. I turn it off when the screen goes off so that it actually turns wifi off (doesn't seem to disconnect for me either), and to turn it back on when I start using it again because it never reconnects properly :S
I have the same problem too. It keeps saying trying to get an IP address. Even I have DHCP running on the router, I changed the setting of home wifi on TF to be static IP address. Now, it connects all the time when waking up from sleep.
Hope that helps (at least when you are home).

same here. its been happening since I got my TF (launch date) Where on the TF do I set static IP address on the TF?
Go to Wifi setup screen. Press and hold on the wifi network you want to change. Then select "Modify Network".
