okay so my phone lost internet connection on me awhile ago and i was like wtf? then i tired to connect to my wifi but it said there was no wifi available, so i restarted my router an modem but still no wifi dected. So i got my labtop and it found+connected to my wifi with no problems, my phone cant even find it. any idea of how to fix this? Im still looking around trying to find a fix. My phone is rooted with fresh rom on it.
Just a thought, are you using WiFi Tether? I was wondering if it maybe didn't set a setting back correctly when you turned it off last. Try rebooting the phone if you haven't already.
ive rebooted it 2 times but it still detects no wifi, also i coulden't get a evdo signal or whatever that is today when i went out to see if my phone worked if that means anything. o and i just now got it to connect to my wifi by manually setting it up but idk if im gonna be able to see my towns local wifi wich i can connect to whenever im close by or my schools. Do you think i should do a restore on the phone or anything like that?
okay, i found a fix for this for me anyways. If this helps anyone go to your wifi settings and look at the networks you have connected to before, delete all of them. Then your phone should start scanning if you still have wifi turned on and there ya go wifi now works. I have no idea if this bug has anything to do with fresh rom.

Doubt it has anything to do with the Rom, just because we don't have Kernel code to modify or mess with that kind of stuff. May just be a bug for the phone in general. I will test it out tommorow when I have a couple of different signals around me.
i emailed Appalachian wireless and asked them for the evdo settings, but the custom support is probably pretty slow since there not a major company, when i find anything out i'll be sure to post it here. but since i don't get signal or have a data plan it dosen't bother me but i was wantin to get the 30mb addon for $10 so i could check my emails and use my instant messengers.

Hi Everyone,
I have a strange issue,
My wifi works, but today it won't recognize my work wifi even though it was connected to it on Friday.
I've tried everything I can think of to solve this issue, but the problem is only at work.
I just tried a free spot down the street and it connected to it no problem but it refuses to even acknowledge the fact that I have wifi at work...my laptop and and iphone are both connected, just the Nexus...
I've read os "similar" things happening to other people, but I would love to solve and know more about this if anyone has any info.
Thanks,
Lou
EDIT
I played around some more, and solved the problem.
I went to settings - wireless and networs - wifi settings - then the menu button, and went to advanced settings.
From here I went to regulatory domain and forced 14 channels and it seems to work now.
Hope this helps someone

Seems like they removed that option in the patch.
Cant find it anymore and my WiFi is not really working as it should any longer.. I get a connection speed of only 5mbps sitting very close to my AP. :-/
since update, my wifi is very fidgity. loses my house wifi all the time now. seems like every time the phone goes to sleep. my router is the schizz, so it shouldn't be because of lack of signal.
I have a fascinate which i bought outright for use as a GPS / media player / itouch replacment and im having issues with the app marketplace...
Every time i try to set up the account using wifi it says could not establish a reliable data connection.
how can i get past this? is there some way i can trick the phone into thinking its running on a data network when its really going through wifi?
Also, every time i turn on the phone its asking me to unlock / set up the phone. i get out of this by using *#83786633 but its a bit annoying, is there anything else i can do? Its a verizon phone and im in canada, so no luck going to V. and asking them to fix it...
would putting a custom firmware on the device be of any use? i have rooted the phone, just cant download any apps through the marketplace. Is there a way to manually install apps through rooting?
My bet would be that you're not fully connected to wifi, to be getting that message. I've been using mine on wifi since I got it, and have set everything up fine. The only time I ran into that problem is when my router went out, it said I was connected but there really was no connection.
As far as the activation screen issue, no there really isn't any way around that. Its there because the phone really should be connected to a network. (And I'm not 100% sure if its going to connect to GPS without being connected to a data network? I've never tried.)
Well if I use airplane mode it turns my gps receiver off however if I use the code above it lets me use gps and wifi no problem. Hell I'm on wifi now on the phone but it won't connect the phone to my google account tho if I go to google.com it works fine.
Any ideas?
oops double post, mods plz delete this
The same happened on my Eris. Best bet is to use data to activate. Turn of syncs and then use wifi to sync. It cant be all that much data. Once your active you wont have a problem using the market and stuff over wifi. Thats what I had to do on the eris to use it as a wifi toy when i got my fas.

Hey guys,
Ive been having some issues with my wifi calling app. At first I was thinking that its my router, so I got a brand new one today, and I still keep getting the same error over and over again. It would be nice if anyone knows how to fix this.
So here is my problem - I turn on my wifi calling /I have it set to Wi-Fi Preferred. Also, I have set the wifi to never go to sleep. And it all works great, until the screen turns off. So the screen turns off, and wifi calling is still working fine for the first 3-4 mins, but right after that - it disconnects. I looked around in the error log, I keep getting 3 different errors all the time :
W005.1 ISP Error Retry
W005.2 ISP Error Retry
W006.25 ISP or T-Mobile Network Error
I believe that it has something to do with the screen going off. This keeps happening on CM7 RC1, CM7 nightlies, Stock Rom... Just all over the place. And having wifi calling is the main reason I got this phone, as it is very very important for me, because I have little-to-none signal at my home office, and I keep missing important customer calls.
Please, someone help me out.
Thank you.
Just a shot in the dark here I had something kinda the same. But have your tried clearing the data for wifi calling in the Settings> Applications>Manage Applications? also try clearing your cache and dalvik cache.
I had a issue where wifi became the only signal i had and a app wipe fixed it.
If none of that works go to a t-mo store and tell em you broke your simcard and need a new one. May be an issue with the t-mo network not fully recognizing your sim for the voip.

Yeah I just did all that, I will update if it works.
It might of been my router tho, because I just got a wireless repeater today (as my signal from the router is not very strong), so that kept happening only with the wireless repeater. I moved back to the router only - problem is somewhat solved. It just randomly disconnected my while talking a few minutes ago.
Quite possible it is your router i remember the router i had, had a problem like that where every dhcp refresh it would disconnect all clients. May want to try and see if you particular router has any firmware updates.
I tried searching and I've not found this issue addressed, but I may just be doing it wrong. But, here it goes anyways...
This house has 3 T-Mobile G2s, all with the same OTA. Only mine is rooted. However, none of them will stay connected to wifi. The wifi icon is showing up and it says that I am connected to the access point, but in status it says that mobile network status is disconnected. I can't do anything data related after it times out. If I disable and re-enable wifi it stays connected for a bit before it goes dead again. The handset doesn't go into sleep/screen doesn't turn off. Before I updated I did a Factory Data Reset, then re-entered all my information then let it update. Is there anything I can do, or try?

Being that all 3 phones cannot stay connected I'd be inclined to say look at your router... I'm assuming you've done all the obvious things like reboots, battery pulls, "forgetting" your network and then re adding it? Are other devices in the home able to maintain a wifi connection... your computer, for example? You've tried resetting your router?
If the screen isn't timing out, have you checked your Display settings? What makes you think the screen timeout is related to the wifi problem?
Well in the past on my myTouch 3g... wifi at times would get wonky after the screen timed out/it went to sleep. So was just adding that information here. Yeah, there are at least 8-9 other wifi devices here that can connect to the router just fine and send/receive data. I've tried "forgetting" the access point and then re-adding it, resetting the router, battery pull... and the same thing happens. And the router doesn't have MAC address filtering either. Can't ping google.com or 72.14.204.105 from the phone, but my pc can just fine. If I disable wifi it works as it should. Its just I only have realllly slow EDGE service in the house.

Hmm... by default wifi should turn off when the screen times out. Unless you've changed the wifi sleep policy. I had mysterious wifi trouble before on a different device (endless "obtaining ip address" loops) and the only thing that worked for me was restoring an older nandroid. Obviously, you're no longer rooted and that's not an option... but it's super unusual that 3 G2 phones are experiencing the same problem. And they're all running the Gingerbread update, so maybe that's the common denominator. I'm sorry I couldn't be more helpful. I'd definitely pay T-Mobile a visit.
I've not messed with the wifi policy, but my last phone would just drop wifi completely and I had to forget/re-enter everything to get it back. If it was the update then I would think the problem would be more widespread. Going to try fiddling with the router some more since that would most likely be where the issue lies. All else fails will just rollback to an earlier nandroid, like you had to do, and seeing if I can't get at least mine consistent. Thanks for your help and letting me bounce ideas off of.
Hoping someone can help me
My S7 Edge WiFI connection is playing up. My phone is fine on data network but only when connected on WiFi (Have tried other networks too) it has some serious problems like,
- Whatsapp notifications not received unless I switch to data connection or open the app
- Trouble loading internet applications, they just hang randomly but if I switch to data then they load
I first noticed this when I switched over to SuperManROM, however I have since reflashed the previous ROM I was using and still have the same issues. I've tried custom kernels and stock kernels and no difference.
Is it simply a faulty WiFI chip in the S7 Edge or coudl it be something software related? An important point to mention is that for the SuperManROM I had to update the bootloader and Modem, but I did downgrade them again to see if there was any change
Please help
Having the same issues. Tried multiple Wifi networks, same issue. Shows I'm connected to it, but no throughput. Tested the same networks on my laptop with no issues.
I'm using SuperSU.
This happens to me too, but only when I enable power saving mode, could that be your issue?

Well I thought it fixed it, but it doesn't look like it did. Rebooting the phone to see if that helps
Update: even after a reboot no luck.
On cell data no issues. As soon as I connect to Wifi, I lose it.
Update 2: Had a system update available. Tried to install it, and after the phone rebooted it told me the update failed, but the Wifi works okay for the moment. Honestly no clue.
You guys got any VPN profiles installed or anything?
