I'm still having wifi (not 3G) network connection issues and hoping someone can help.
I tried enabling wifi on the phone to stay active all the time (never sleep), enabled static setting and I always end up have to manually reconnect to the my wifi router. I've even tried some stay alive wifi apps and nothing seems to work. Nothing always me to stay connected and re-connect automatically to my wifi router. It's very frustrating.
I sometimes loose wifi when phone comes out of sleep or when I go out of range and then re-enter my wifi coverage area, it's won't automatically reconnect to wifi.
Any ideas/solutions would be greatly appreciated.
Don't know if the 'fixmywifi' app can help.. hope it can!

He thx for the suggestion, but I'm not referring to the 3G network (such as it is!), but rather local wifi. BTW: I do have the 3G setting entered on my phone
Well still not within 100%. Man what's with this X10 and wifi.
I had a look for that fixmywifi app Mobzter recommended and can't find it.

Probably a stupid question, but when you go to:
Settings -> Wireless settings -> Wifi Settings -> Advanced (Menu button to access this) -> Wifi Sleep Policy
Does it still say "Never" like you want it to or has it reverted back to a different option?
I've tried never, and other setting, and as a matter of fact seems to work better in a sleep setting. Maybe it's my wireless router, but I believe this is a common issue with the X10.

I never had issues with wifi on my x10... until I did a hard reset on my router. I started to have problems connecting to my router. I figured out that if my router has WEP protection on, my x10 would have a hard time connecting. If I switch to WEP2, everything went fine. I dont see how switching from WEP to WEP2 solved my problem, but give it a try
If your still looking for Fix My Wifi it's Here along with other apps that you could try.
Interesting, I'm actually using WPA2, not WEP at all.
What router setting are others using?

Is anyone else having intermittent drops while connected to wifi? I've noticed my wifi drops and reconnects especially when there is heavy wifi usage... I've tried TKIP and AES with no better luck with either one.

wifi
last night when i was trying to download an app from marketplace?
Yeah, I've just started noticing that. It wasn't doing it most of yesterday and I was using it pretty heavily. It started last night when I noticed both the 3G and wi-fi icons were on. I restarted wifi and it still showed up like that, so I rebooted. Now it seems like it's always on 3G when I pick it up.
What kind of router are you using?

I used to have this problem regularly with mine and my girl's Droids on 2.1, and appeared to be related to using secured wireless networks. I was able to set up a test wireless network with no security and the disconnects stopped happening. Switch back and 5 to 15 minutes later I was disconnected again. I never found a fix for it on 2.1, but the problem completely went away with 2.2.
Unsure if they're related, but from what people are describing, this sounds exactly like the issues I used to have prior to rooting/2.2 on our Droids.
I noticed that it was with wep encryption only. I looked through wpa and etc and there was less dropage. Now, i don't know if your all aware, the ipad does the same thing. The only place i seen it hold up well was the wpa and the hotspot app on board.
I wonder if this is just the new radios and modems in these devices?

OK. Let me start by saying I'm not an expert but I may have found a solution. Go to wi-FI networks and go to wireless settings. Then click on options hard key and choose advanced. then choose Wi-Fi sleep policy and set it to never.
So far so good for me. Let me know if anyone has any luck.

Yeah, I'm still having major issues. My phone will drop WiFi very often. Im going to try unsecured next. I've tried changing from tkip to are, tried turning off the sleep function... nothing. It happens most frequently when I'm doing heavy traffic like from or two another computer, where it maxes out the bandwidth capabilities of the phone...

Have you double checked not only the advanced settings under Wifi for always on, but which battery profile you're running? The default profile is the Smart one, which disables wifi/3g after so many minutes of being idle after peak hours.
i will try this thanks i do use the smart profile
I read several articles and then under wireless security changed the WPA Algorithm to TPIK and have not had a drop or WIFI issue since. Let me know if it resolves your issue.

Has anyone noticed if there wireless disconnects a lot? Then you have to manually turn back on and off to get it working again. Shouldn't the wireless automatically detect a network and connect. Some thing happpens with 3g. Sometimes i Have to manually do the same for3g.

Yeah kine does thesame with 2.1 after the sleeps and it wakes wifi doesnt wake, and when i turn it off (wifi) hangs on getting turned off... so i have to power off the phone and power it back on.

Same here, I had the issue with the iphone. I deduced it was an issue with the router, not letting the phone back on. Although now it seems to be when the mrs uses my old iphone on wifi she steals my ip, so I can't get back on as the steak attempts to connect with the same ip.
I guess the solution is static ip's at home
Could it be something similar for you guys?
Sent from my Dell Streak using XDA App
My wifi does the same thing under 1.6 and using a static IP
Same thing here. Thought it was because beta of 2.1, but since someone mentioned it was also present in 1.6 I think we need a proper solution for this. I don't mind if the wifi goes into standby, but I want it to work within 5 or 10 seconds after it comes out of standby. Now you have to disable it and enable it again.

I use wifi lock on my streak 1.6 and that still does not solve the problem. I would like to know if anyone has figured this out. I hate to always have to set to wireless on and off.
aha... so i'm not alone..
confirmed the issue with build 6267 (donut), disconnecting issue wifi <-> 3g or 2g <-> 3g. Most of the time the remedy should turn off completely then back on.
hmm... is the new build of eclair or froyo using different (radio) baseband? i guess the baseband version is the culprit...
for my streak, this is an issue with the router. the wifi behaves well with my old g-router but having trouble re-connecting when i started to use a new n-router.
H guys, my wifi won't connect to internet. It shows im connected to the hub, but won't let me connect to market, mail browser. It's only working if i go trough 3g. Any ideas, getting bit frustrated, i've searched on the internet bu can't find a solution.Any help would be appreciated. Thanks in anticipation. liza
Hello Liza,
Is it your home network or an office network? If it's office network then perhaps you need proxy settings...

Hello,
does the WiFi connection break down if you loose your cell phone signal?
That would be the R2BA026 bug, which really annoys me because I'm living in the basement with low signal strengh
R2BA026 and have no problems at all.. switch off the router and then try again. Wifi at home work even the local coffee shop no problem.
good luck
i dont think this will work for your problem, but you should go into your wifi settings-menu-advanced-wifi sleep policy and select never
give that a try
Got the same problem, kinda.
I can see my network, but everytime i tell my x10 mini pro to connect it scans>connects>disconnects - and thats the cycle it does 24/7 - Nothing wrong with my router - 100% setup - nothing wrong with the x10´s settings..GG SE
sounds like a proxy problem or an authentication problem
Usa anyone else experiencing wifi collection issues.
Wireless N simply doesn't work. On G and B I get connected but 90% of the time I'm connected with no internet access. I use g band then b band and get no data. Turn off wifi and my 2 bars of 3g works ok. Turn back on wifi it connects and nothing can access data.

How many devices connect to your router? By the way, what security do you use on your router? Get rid of your router throwing B signal, its ancient history. I connect to N/G/B no prob.
Edit:
P.S. Does anyone else tinker with your Router besides you? Did you recently turn Mac Filtering on? Do you run software such as Cisco Network Solutions? It could 'block' out 'intruders' from connecting when in reality its just your phone. Lol

I does have a firewall on and off (vizio router). Firewall doesn't seem to make a difference. It can and currently is setup to broadcast three separate networks. 500Mhz for n good for tv's, one I choose for g only (can do auto which is n g and b), one for older devices b band only. Phone has no data with any of the three networks. But connects to to all three.

AFAIK, our Epics only connect on 2.4Ghz on wireless N. I don't think it is capable of connecting on 5Ghz...but don't quote me on that, I may be wrong.
I've connected to a 5Ghz router before, did have issues keeping a stable connection even though it was set to auto B/G/N
I don't know if you mind, but why not try throwing out 2.4Ghz frequency? Make sure your channel is 1-11. I remember the Epic not being able to connect with Data if the channel was persay, 21.
I'd get rid of the B signal, an old laptop or a PSP are the only two devices that come to mind when I think of a device that only takes B signal.. lmao.
Good point, I think the auto channel thing puts it up past 11...
I will report back. thanks for the help everyone, I do appreciate any feedback.
Sent from my SPH-D700 using XDA App
Ok. Changes channel from auto to 11 and that seemed to do the trick. Now working on G. Tomorrow I'll try N.

Simple my friend, not enough RAM to allow it to stay connected, so by default, the epic's Adminstrative commands terminate it in order to free up resources. Thus trying to save you battery etc. If you free up resources, like clear ram, (level 1&2) you'll notice you can connect right back as soon as you do that. The more you run at once, or even background processes eat up your ram. Some common that come to mind: Google+, Live Wallpaper, weather/clock widgets, to name a few.

Thanks for the explanation...but I find it weird that it's always overnight, and not when I have lots of apps going during normal use. Shouldn't there be much more RAM free when nothing's hapenning in the foreground? It's not every night either, only some.
Hello. I'm new to xda. I have problem with my Xperia X10i.

the only issue i am having with wifi sense ive had this phone has been connecting to linksys wireless N routers. i have turned off N functionality of the router using b/g only but all the phone does is alternation between "scanning/disconnected" doesnt try to obtain IP address or anything. its only those routers i have issues with. belkin wireless N works fine (with N turned off of course)
I had a similar problem, I solved it with wifi fix, thanks.
If you updated your x10 through the SEUS...its probably problem on your wifi router..try to reset settings and power off your router..

Okay, so I'm trying to help a guy with his Xperia X10a. He doesn't have wifi working and does not a have an account for the phone so no 3G. He needs to download wifi fix, can he just download it on his computer and then tether it and sideload?
1.make sure that ur access point has internet access.
2.if there's no server then ask ur ISP about static IP & gateway
3.if there's a server..then ask if u can get a static IP
4.also try "forget" then reconnect and if the wifi with a password then it might be wrong
don't connect ur modem in bridge mode.......
Still not working
I have tried the wi-fi fix app and nothing changed. I have found a temporary solution in witch you use static ip on your phone. But this solution is just for home because in a pub or any free hotspot it still doesn't work. Now I have flashed CM7 to my x10 and the wi-fi seems to work a little bit better but not perfect. And the wi-fi range is also poor on X10 compared to a Iphone 3GS or even a Optimus Black.

i think problem is your wi fi modem , try to setting your modem again ,
Go to setting >Wireless > Security
and
Select SSID: Modem Name
Network Authentication: Open
WEP Encryption: Enabled
Encryption Strength: 128
Current Network Key: 1 ( up to you )
Network Key 1: xxxxxxxx ( 13 characters ) and try again to connect
