Sometimes ill push my wifi wiidget and it will Jehoshaphat that it is on but it wont connect to my network. If ithen go to settings, then wiring, it will start connecting.
Anyone have a similar issue?
Are you talking about the power control widget that comes with the phone?
Yes.....
In that case then yes, my phone doesn't auto connect to my network when I turn on wifi I have to go into settings too.
I've been having issues with my phone staying connected to wifi also. It's become quite annoying.

Having a bit of trouble here, there may be an easy fix and im jus not seeing the obvious maybe! I expect this happens to a lot of people: when you leave messenger connected, every time the hd2 screen goes off, the wifi switches off and it tries to connect to mobile network. Now, i dont want to disable the stanby setting, and i dont want to force the wifi to stay on, thatd kill battery! Is there a way i can set only windows live to stay on the mobile connection, so it doesnt keep disconnecting it?

Sorry, don't understand the problem...
i want to force windows live to use my 3g connection, as the wifi turns off in standby and interrupts it.
Well if wifi disconnects, WL will "automatically" switch to 3G anyway...
I know, but it keeps disconnecting and reconnecting wlm, what i want to try and do is get wl to use ONLY a network connection, not wifi. Is it possible?
Not that I know of.
You might want to try turning wifi off, connecting WLM, so that it connects via 3G, then turn wifi on, off etc.
In many cases when a program opens a connection through a particular interface, it will stick to it unless it has no choice. So if it initiates the connection through data it might still use data even when wifi is on. Needs experimenting.
Hello. I'm sure that this must have been discussed but I cannot find the answer using search. As is surely normal, I use WiFi within the home and GPRS when there is no WiFi available. If WiFi is connected and I go out for a short while, then when I get back in a WiFi area, the WiFi is still connected. However, if I go away for a long time, and GPRS is used for perhaps a regular weather update, then the WiFi disconnects and has to be manually reconnected upon return to home. This leads to GPRS being used in a WiFi area unnecessarily if you forget to re-connect WiFi. Is there a WiFi connection timeout value or any other setting that can be changed? My old TyTN II did not have this problem. Thanks.
Try this CAB
It disable disconnecting WiFi when phone is in sleep mode and with this phone automaticly connects to WiFi when Leo will be in range.
Thanks Franq_23_pl. I think that the CAB just stops WiFi disconnecting when the device is in sleep mode. That will just drain the battery, surely? My old TyTN used to disable WiFi when in sleep mode, but as soon as you switched it on again, WiFi would be enabled and it would connect if in range. The problem with my HD2/Leo is that if I am away from my WiFi for some considerable time (ie, most of the day), then when I get back home and switch the device on, WiFi is disabled, and I have to manually toggle in on. So my question is..... What are the circumstances that cause WiFi to disable itself, and Is there some way of stopping it happening?
OIC now. I think you having some battery saving app and this app turning off WiFi when iz not used. What apps or registry mods you have installed on Leo?
You have the same behavior after hard reset?
My Leo don't disable WiFi. When i go outside (for ex to work) and back after few hours my Leo connecting to my home wireless network automaticly.
I remember, that i had the same problem like you and it was caused by app, which had duty to save battery.
This is a first time for this issue for me; my Wifi is scanning, but not connecting.
The settings look fine, I re-inputted the network passkey just to make sure, but it just doesn't connect...it just says scanning, though my home network is in the list.
My laptop can connect just fine as you can tell, I'm posting from it.
Can someone help?
Tried rebooting your modem/router?
I have this a lot of times waking up after sleep (I have the WiFi set to turn-off when the screen goes off)
Turn off then on the WiFi (wait a few seconds in between) resolves it.
(there are apps in the market where you can do this with a simple button press)
Well...I did reboot the router but had to go to work before I checked but it has to be the router...
I can connect just fine at work...
thanks for the suggestions...I'm glad it's working.
I'm running Cyanogen 7.2 stable on my Droid 2
It seems I cannot successfully transition from wifi to 3g, or from 3G to wifi without hard resetting my phone. If I turn wifi on, then hard reset the phone, it will connect to my chosen access point, I'll get an IP address, and be able to use internet. But when I go into wifi settings and disable the WiFi, it will claim to connect the 3G but I will not be able to connect to any internet site. The notification area will show 3G icon in white, but never turn cyan to indicate a successful data connection. Trying to turn on airline mode does nothing, and the phone will not go into airline mode until I also, turn it off and turn it back off. Then it will reboot into airline mode. A simple soft reset doesn't seem to solve this problem, I have to preform a power off, and then turn it back on.
Conversely if I set it to use 3G and hard reset it will successfully connect to 3g and work fine, but turning on wifi will result in a connection to the access point but no actual data tansfer. Just as before it will show the connection option's icon on the notification bar will show the WiFi icon but it will say white, and never successfully connect. Alternately wifi will connect and the drop the connection repeatedly.
I've looked all over here, and Google for any working solution but I haven't seen any. Mostly just people having trouble connecting to a specific router, which I DO NOT have. Specially the hand-off to 3G and back seems broken and I have to do a hard reset 100% of the time to change from wifi to 3G and back.
Could somebody point me in the right direction for a solution that hopefully won't involve wiping my phone?
Hey
I am guessing this is a software/app/os issue, but it is noticeable on the LG V20 thanks to the second screen.
Recently I have noticed that wifi and bt turn on while the main screen is off. When I turn the screen on, they both turn off like naughty school kids caught smoking. This is obviously when I am not using wifi or bt.
I have scoured the settings looking for something that can stop this from happening, but nothing so far. Wifi has a setting where it says, "keep wifi on while in standby", with three options, I have tried all three of them, and nothing is preventing this from happening.
I enjoy controlling these functions, and get anxious when it happens automatically. Anyone with advice?
I think I have found the solution. I had the app Firechat installed which uses Bluetooth and WiFi to transmit data to other devices. I have uninstalled it now and it seems that WiFi and bt have stopped turning on automatically.

Anyone else? My wifi will shut off after about 30 seconds and I have those same settings set to keep on. I even tried after a factory reset and still having this issue.
I have the same problem,if the Bluetooth is on I have high latency wifi and conectivity loss, this only fix if I power off the bluetooth

I am also running into this issue. The only way I can get my wifi to connect to my home router is by restarting my phone. Otherwise the rest of the time, I see a message stating that my wifi is disconnected, when it clearly was not, it was even showing me nearby routers that I could connect to, but not my own router, even when i tried to add my router manually, it could not connect. I am having the same issue with Bluetooth connections. My laptop can sometimes see my phones Bluetooth, but my car can't find it at all. I'm on AT&T H910, running on DESOLATION 7.1.2
