I used to be so much angry against my wifi connection which lasted for a few minutes/seconds then droped out... I was about to return my legend but i read somewere a very good tip ,that's why i'm writting this post if it can help someone who has the same issue...
Download from the market an app called "Wifi Fixer" it's a background app that checks if you're still connected to the wifi and if no, it reconnects you automatically.
Thanks logoo, will try it on my Legend and report back!
Do you report any decrease in battery life since installing WiFi Fixer?
Yes the battery decreases a lot faster but WiFi is more for places like home or office no? ^^

Thanks
..great tip
Unfortunatly it does not work for me........
still losing wifi connection but this app is unable to re-establish it everytime.
My new Legend was working just fine until I did a factory reset.
Since then it loses the wifi connection every minute or so,
I have to turn the wifi off and on again for it to reconnect.
my Hero works just fine over the same access point.

Hi!
Bought a Tattoo for my kid and now we got a huge bill because the wifi seems to dissconects itself all the time and she is not that good checking the wifi state.
Is this a known problem or what can i do about it?
Using a Netgear N router and WEP (must use WEP because of my stupid XBox that can't handle any other security).
Please let me know how to fix this so she can use the phone!
I have this problem too, and as I found it's a known problem on net.
I'm using wifi fixer, which running as a service and reconnect everytime the connection drops. It's not a solution, but make things better.

Hi!
Thanks for the info, is that an app i can find on the Android's app place?
he he he.... did not notice your link Sorry!
Looks to me that HTC is screwing things up even with Android devices...
This phone realy sucks!
Me again!
I've struggled with this phone a couple of hours now but i can't get the wifi to work now.
I press connect to my network, i have entered the wep password but a couple of secs later it says disconnected...
What can i do about this?
I have the same problem - Is it best to configure the Wi Fi settings like IP address etc ? And if so whats the best settings for it?
I've managed to get it to connect now, removed an app that kept track of wifi traffic. But it seems to me that Tattoo does not use wifi when i use YouTube for example. Checked my providers homepage for traffic that we pay for and they had traffic for today. And the phone has not been used all day until my test this evening.
Is there a way to tell the phone to use just the wifi connection when using youtube app or explorer...?

install apn on-off when you use wifi, just disable APN connection.
then if you need umts/gprs is 1click enabled

Thanks, this sounds easy enough for my kid to handle when she wants to use the wifi and to be sure that it uses the wifi and not the expensive data from our phone company.
Thanks again! Will try this!
Hey guys, newbie user and android owner.
I picked up the vibrant the other day. So far its rooted, android-wifi-tether, and i performed the gps fix on it.
I really like the phone, but whenever I connect to my wifi router, it stops all data (android market, web browser, etc) It says connected and doesn't show any signs of problems. Am I doing something wrong?
Thanks for any help you can throw my way.
Hmm. Mine has problems with "No Connection" when it's connected to my wireless at home, but I just figured it was my router's fault since my computer gives me the "unable to load web page" thing all the time too. My router sucks, though. Maybe your does too?
Yeah, mine does it sometimes too. I just turn on airplane mode, and turn it back off...works fine after that. Its a hit or miss issue.
Mine works fine running off if my router. Btw, do you actually have the wi-fi tether working? Because I thought we needed a working kernal for that to work.
Feeling Vibrant on xda-app
Yup that did it for me. All I had to do was turn on airplane mode and then turn it back off. Wifi working for me now. Thanks.

Please tell us how you got wifi tethering to work without a custom kernel.
From XDA App on SGS-Vibrant
you know, i have a similar issue, where im connected to my router but i dont get internet and 3g goes away the moment i connect to wifi... airplane mode didnt help tho... its interesting really..
ive tried other routers and my phone can get wifi w/internet from them
i did factory reset on my phone 3 times trying to figure this out; 2 of the three times i got wifi to work w/internet until i disconnected and connected again. then i just got the same problem all over again
When using the Wireless Tether, Barnacle, and even the Verizon Tether/Easy Switch hack, the data connection just stops and turns itself off. Losing the 3G connection. Why is this happening? I can forget about trying to use a torrent program because that kills the 3G connection immediately. It seems to happen more when the battery is less than 70%. On my old TP2 the HTC Wifi router worked almost flawlessly. It also happens sometimes when using Pandora after a song is done the 3G is gone and I have to turn the screen on to get the connection back. Anyone know what's happening? Is Verizon limiting my data because I use more than average? Is there a way to mask it like the TP2?
Does it always turn off when your screen goes off?
Sent from my DROIDX using XDA App
Not always, but it has more of a chance when the screen is off. Like right now I'm keeping the screen on and it's struggling to keep the 3G on. I'm pretty sure it's not because of my power settings either.
I am a newbe but loss of 3g is a known bug they are supposed to be correcting. Don't know if this helps
THIS DRIVES ME NUTZ!!! glad its not only me.
Yeah. I don't even bother with wifi any more. Same exact problem as you guys. I just use easy tether. Hate having to plug in but at least I get a connection.

Okay, this is a long shot. I'm talking about me standing in California, firing a BB gun up in the air and hoping it hits you in New York kind of long shot, but the my sister (on a Samsung Vibrant - 2.1) kept losing her connection when on Barnacle Tether until she set her Wifi sleep policy to Never.
Again, a LOOONNNNNG shot but hell if you're desperate enough maybe it'd be worth it?
Ehh I think the BB missed me in Boston The problem happens the most when flooding the connection with data requests. If I am using the connection for light web surfing it's ok even with the screen off. For instance a torrent program being open, or having multiple tabs open on a browser. Why can a crappy WM phone keep up the workload but the all-powerful Android can't?
wifi problem with 2.1 seem the same as x10. Cutting wirles on week signal. Any other have the same problem?

The bug Im pertaining is that the connection fail for seemingly no reason, even whil in use, then reconnect and operate normally after 10-20 seconds or so.
Sent from my E15i using XDA App
I had this problem on 1.6 and still have it on 2.1.
I don't get it though. My phone behaves better with some wireless hotspots than others.
Moved to general.
That isnt bug.
Phone says that router isnt in range because mobile cant find it in first second.
PS I dont have that problem.
The problem is that the ruter is in range and the connection is at 30% then I try to download somting from net or retrive somting from dropbox and the wifi connection broke for 2-5 sec. and then it connect again.. all day long.
I try to change SIDD, chanel and the problem is the same. The problem is that wifi shout down and restarts.
Repair your softwer.
software is 2.1 rus. flashed 4 time and the problem persist. now im back to 1.6 (rooted) and waiting for the wifi to go mad ;-)

can help for you a new (not from original site) firmware in your router (dd-wrt) - serch HERE
try changing security mode on your routter from wep to wap and vice versa it might help
I'm having problem with the wifi too. Icon is there, but connection is lost. I have to refresh the page multiple times before wifi starts to work again. I configured my wifi setting to never...It's making me mad because I didn't have this problem on 1.6...
And it happens in close range to the router with full signal. I hear that lots of people have this kind of problem...
Yup, I am having it. I can be right next to my wifi hotspot, and it still drops.
But like I said, other routers seem to work better with my phone than others, strangely.
Hi all,
Been using my GT-i9505 for a while now completely fine. Used WiFi fine etc. However I've moved back to uni where I don't get WiFi and so I use connectify via my laptop and a wired connection to transmit a WiFi signal. I've used this for a few months perfectly fine for my iPhone and tablet (transformer infinity).
The issue that arises is that my gs4 connects fine and stats connected no issues. The data arrows flash orange and green but the data seems to stop working.
Best example is whatsapp which will not send messages or at best has a huge delay.
I rectified this by turning off Wi-Fi power save which fixed the issue but is bit really a fix SD this literally ate battery like nothing else. So wondered if there is s fix or anything I can do phone or computer side to fix this?
