My is stuck at scanning and never finishes. I've tried both the Vanilla and Sense Sky Raider ROMS, both have had the same problem. I tried to search the forum and found something similar but it was with Sky Raider 1.9. Anyone heard of this or seen this happening?
I have the 2.x radio installed, ran the Goodies from Koush.
Thank you,
Jesse
I have skyraider 2.2 and I don't have this problem. did you wipe data and clear cache before installing the ROM? Also, even if it is stuck on scanning, does it display any networks as being available?
It has my home network remembered and it will connect with that. I'm at work now and there is a wifi connection here. When i turn on wifi (widget or settings) it goes to scanning and never list any connections. I cleared cache and did a full wipe before installing. I'm gonna format back to stock and reload the whole thing again. I'll let you know.
I would strongly recommend trying elsewhere first before you go thru the hassle of wiping and reinstalling. some companies will not have their SSID broadcasted... there could be some issue with your employer's wifi network..
I would suggest you at least try it some where else like a starbucks or something before you conclude there is a problem with the rom.
Starbucks down the street, i'll try it. Thank you!
Question: On your incredible, when your wifi is turned on, whats the sequence it goes through, mine says "turning on..." then "Scanning..." it never gets passed scanning.

Usually, its turning on, scannning, obtaining ip address, and connected

When wifi is turned on (or toggled on and off).. I think by default the wifi is in scanning mode. .. which is why when you are get back to your house, it connects automatically. If there are no wifi networks available.. it may seem as being "stuck" in scanning.. but that I believe is a normal status when wifi is turned on.
I don't think it'll do a "scanning".. and then report back saying "no networks found"
People can confirm what I am saying here.
Well, this is gonna sound ridiculous.
So at work I was trying to connect to my buddies iPhone (jailbroken, he has wireless tethering) but the iPhone wireless tethering is Ad Hoc. I did a google search and noticed that android doesn't detect adhoc connections (?). I went to lunch and there was a hotel nearby. Turned on wifi and it detected the hotel. I guess I was just impatient.
Sorry about the trouble.
Thank you guys again.
Jesse
Edit: Before posting the original problem I didn't know the iPhone tether was Ad-Hoc. I thought it was a normal "infrastructure" connection. It wasn't until I used "Wifi Buddy" (from the market) that I realized I couldn't connect to Ad-Hoc connections.
well, I am glad you went about testing it further before wiping your phone

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.
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.
For the last week or two I have been unable to connect my phone to wifi networks.
At first the problem would be that I was getting disconnected from any wifi network I joined, now I can't connect at all.
The wifi networks page sometimes (not always) does not detect a strong network even if I am standing a few feet away and the phone has previously connected and other APs are connected and working like my pc
If I try to connect then I get the "Connecting" status followed by "Saved,secured"
I have searched the internet looking for a fix to this and tried wiping the cache partition, forgetting the network, airplane mode toggling on and off, apps that wipe the known network list and some others including lastly a factory reset on the phone but nothing seems to remedy the issue.
From the wifi router I have tried using an unencrypted (open) connection
Now I think I may also be having problems with the bluetooth connecting in the car but I haven't had a chance to really investigate that one yet and it may or may not be related to the last factory reset.
My phone is not rooted.
Build no. LRX21T.G870AUCU2B0F3

Can anyone offer any assistance to my current issue ?

I have just confirmed that the Bluetooth in my car is not detecting my phone when it scans (the phone bt is switch on and the visible box being checked) so that's both radios with similar issues.

Im having same issue with wifi... sm-g900r4
I just stumbled on a clue, while using an app called 'wifi cleaner' there is a feature allowing you connect to wifi networks within the app. I type in the password, authenticating is shown on the screen followed by "incorrect password".
I know the password to be correct..
Mmm

I was wondering if you ever got this issue fixed?
I thought I had but the problem comes back in a different way.
Sometimes wifi connects but only connects at 5 mbps.
Now wifi will not turn on at all. ( radio button is greyed in settings)
I did find a thread on xda where some Motorola users were having the wifi off issue and it was due to a missing system file which could be replaced on a rooted device. However I don't have root on my s5 g870a and it's not likely I can get it.
I have seen lots of issues concerning wifi but I haven't seen a thread with the same issues I have been experiencing.
When I turn on the phone I see all the local wifi networks and I can successfully connect to them. After a period of time (appears to be random) I lose connection. When I go to the wifi settings I don't see any of the local networks. In fact I can stand next to the router and it won't show up in the list of networks.
I have tried turning the wifi on/off but that doesn't have any affect. The only solution is to restart my phone i.e. rinse and repeat.
I have factory-reset my phone and didn't install from backup but that hasn't made any difference.
Has anyone seen this behaviour and do they have a solution?
Brother wish I knew why the wifi was such a mess but I can't get any answers either.
Same here, after endless search no wifi is found. Connection comes after restart only for minutes, but not always.

Have you experienced this when connected to other access points/routers?
Try turning off "turn on wifi automatically" (just suggestion)
select another channel on your router
Is the network you are having trouble with "hidden"?
"find somebody that you think is undeserving of your compassion and give it to them" - Christian Picciolini
Thanks for the responses. I was having issues accessing public wifis and my own private one (not hidden). I changed channel on the router with no success.
I reached out to Essential and they were very helpful and have subsequently replaced the phone.
Mine is a bit curious, sometimes after reboot it shows no sim-card and switches after seconds wifi off.
Could it be a faulty antenna or something? At the moment it works normal.
