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?

Anyone else download quick settings and notice LED flashlight and wifi tethering work?
Edit: Apparently while SSID does broadcast wifi tethering doesn't provide internet access.

Does it really??? Post a pic or vid
Pic 1 - LED Flashlight
Pic 2 - Quick Settings Enable Hotspot
Pic 3 - Click Hotspot to set Access Point
Pic 4 - Access Point seen by my laptop
Good find!
Not quite perfect yet, though. I was able to turn on the Hotspot and connect, but unfortunately I couldn't actually connect to the internet from my laptop once I was connected.
tried it, didn't work, nice fake though...
Not sure which part I'm "Faking". You have to go to settings and change flashlight to LED instead of screen, for access point if you're using windows 7 make sure its set as a home network not public and try changing the SSID name.

Running Vista, I connect fine to the phone, but nothing is routed beyond the phone unfortunately. Look forward to seeing this work, though. Nice simple fix to an annoying limitation.

Sorry, I take back what I said. I thought you were faking the pics for wifi by using another phone. on another note, linux does not see the wifi tether. but win 7 does. very odd...
I tried connecting my computer to the hotspot but the phone doesn't give out an IP address and there aren't settings on the phone to change it. Seems like tmobile change the stock build, eh?

Are you actually able to get onto the internet on Windows 7? Or just connect to the hotspot? My only Windows 7 computer Doesn't have Wifi, so I have no easy way to test that.
I can't connect to the internet either tried a few things but you're right nothin comes through, ah well I was more excited about the flashlight anyways

just connect to the hotspot, the phone does not give out an ip
as for the LED flashlight the Power Control plus widget lets you do that, I would have said something earlier but thought it was common knowledge.

Great find. You can actually download nexus one led flashlight from the market. It comes with a handy widget for turning the led on or off. That will take care of having to open quick settings to switch between screen flashlight or led flashlight.

when connected to the wifi on your phone do an ipconfig /all on computer, and post results for wireless network adapter
Perhaps you have to check APN type under mobile networks.
My nexus one shows "default,supl,MMS" (no quoation nor spaces)

So internet sharing and DHCP are disabled as well.
I'll have to check out quick settings. I tried wifi tether for root with no luck. Saw some errors in the logcat for missing files, but think they are missing on my G1 too. I haven't dug too much into it yet.

Remember the wifi tether for root won't work until this device gets rooted. Try a hotspot app and see if the connected devices can surf the internet.

I've seen this possible fix in another local forum's SGS2 thread. I tried and it seems to work fine so far. I had no problem with wifi connection at office but at home I could barely even stay connected to internet even though it shows connected to wifi. I couldn't even connect to wifi at home before and after doing this my connection is stable now. Please share your own experience after trying this.
Possible fix:
Open phone app and dial *#*#526#*#*
This will load wifi test drivers
Just leave with home button
Turn on wifi
and please let us know if this works for you too

Hi all,
My phone's wifi keeps changing the AP to another one that I have connected, these two APs are all in my room, so the signal strength is same. How could I prevent that? I need the access point I deserved, not itself change to another I previously connected.
Thanks!

Not sure what you mean exactly as you seem to have be missing words(or using the wrong word) in your sentences, but I think that you should go to wifi settings, click the one you don't want it to connect to anymore, and hit Forget.
Press on the SSID you don't want and press forget. Keep the one you want connected.
almost the same problem, but in my situation is 2.4/5G band from same AP i want to use 5G but the phone always jump to 2.4G one after some time.

I have a similar question. I have both my university's wi-fi and home wi-fi stored to my phone's memory. The university wi-fi shows still a signal on my flat occassionally and my phone connects to it automatically. Is there a way (without third party app) to tell my phone that I prefer using my home wifi over my university wifi?

An interesting read.
Maomao you can set that to the one you want. In WiFi settings, menu then advanced.

I'm looking for app, which can turn off data, when connection to know wifi spot is made and from the other side, when there is no known wifi spots, turn data /3g back on.
I know, that if both wifi and data is on, phone use wifi, if there is known spot, but don't phisicaly turn off data connection automaticly.
I tried SmartConnectivity, Smart Wifi toggler, but it's not working, as I want.
Try "Tasker"

good app. doesn't use location services but instead remembers cell towers (like y5 which doesnt work anymore with 4.2+) so good on battery.

Qualcomm's battery guru does this there's a learning period but after that it should perform in the manner you're describing
Sent from my Nexus 4 using xda premium
maybe in a few years that app will get somewhere. as it is, google location based wifi switchers aren't a good idea, unless you're using location services 24/7 anyway (latitude, gnow, etc).
I use wi-fi matic + macrodroid. When I come home, wi-fi matic detects the cell tower I'm connected to and switched on wifi. Once connected, macrodroid switches airplane mode on, and sipdroid connects to my sip provider. Once I leave and lose the wifi connection, macrodroid disables airplane mode. Then wi-fi matic sees that I left my area and switches off wifi. Totally automated
agreed... I don't use it myself(I'm a self-switcher) but I did install when it first came out and found it behaves like the op desires

Mobile data is automatically switched off when WiFi is connected.
No need to disable it manually.

That's not true. If U look in Settings-Data usage Mobile data is still ON. Of coures it's not used, because wifi have prioritiy, but data is ON anyway.
For 2 days I was switch off it data/wifi manually and battery life is better.

Okay here is .prf i just created put it in your tasker folder(auto-import).
It works perfect.
Open tasker and import it.
On any WiFi you connect(you can change that by pressing green arrow and add your know WiFis if you would like) it disables Mobile Data(You cant receive MMS if Mobile data is off) on WiFi you connect and when you lose your connection whit WiFi it disables WiFi and kicks in Mobile Data On so you dont need to worry to disable WiFi it does automatically.
ENJOY!
If it works thank me.

Yes, but service is ON, look in Settings-Data Usage: Mobile data=ON And that service is using battery...I'm not the first one, who found that "problem".
But it's not used, that's true.
Anyway, I found a solution with Wi-FI matic and Wifi/3g switch, not it's working like I want.
So thanks for help.

Llama (just search the Play store for it, I can't post the link...) seems to be a good single app location aware solution. The first play store review pretty much says it all "More flexible than Atooma, but not brain-melting like Tasker. Just makes using your phone easier, and more helpful."
I've been struggling with Tasker for several days trying to get it to do the same thing (toggle wifi and mobile data settings automatically based on my location). I had Llama set up and working beautifully in maybe an hour and a half, which included the time to read the devs instructions and FAQ (click "View Developer's Website from the Play store).
It uses cell towers to determine your location, so there is no battery hit, or you can optionally enable wifi polling or GPS for more accurate locating. It can also perform actions based on when your wifi changes state (connects or disconnects) regardless of your location. And since it's "Tasker-like" it can perform a lot more than just handling your data connections: adjust volumes or screen brightness, launch/kill apps, even shut off or reboot the phone (only if rooted). For example, mine is set up to remove my lockscreen password when I am home and re-enable it when I leave the area of my home wifi and it was fast and simple to get configured.

Wow, great!
I'll try and report...
But I think there is one thing missing what Wi-FI matic do. Wi-FI matic activate WIFI based on cell towers.
With this Tasker script you have to turn on WiFi by yourself, is that correct?
Than script turns off data and turn it back ON, when you lose connection. But than again, when wifi is presented, you have to turn it on by yourself...
I think, this script is doing something similar as this app

Yap I know, tasker is powerfull, but my knlowedge about that is weak...
So If you are so kind, could you please add in previous task (thath one sent to me in your first post) or make a new task for turning on wifi based on cell towers...
