Wifi problem on 3.1

I've just stumbled upon an interesting problem.
My tablet couldn't connect on ANY wifi network unless I entered the IP manually (I have checked on my router an my phone using it as a wifi hotspot). DHCP just didn't work and the tablet was stuck at "obtaining IP adress". The odd thing is that even the bars that show the network strength went from 5 full bars to 1 bar.
It was odd since wifi was on and it worked fine until I charged my tablet. I didn't do anything in between and reset didn't help. What worked in the end was deleting the dhcpd-wlan0.lease under /data/misc/dhcp.
Could anyone point me to the problem or an error that caused this because I'm a little afraid that it wasn't just a one time thing and that it could happen again.
Edit: Oh yeah I almost forgot. My router was acting up (my PC that is connected via cable was losing internet connection). Could it be that it was the router that messed up dhcpd-wlan0.lease and broke my Iconia?

oh, that happen to me. I reset factory and all came back....
I hope that not a problem will happen again....
Maybe a clue.
I went to work with the tablet, connected to the internet who have a different IP 192.168.2.1 and 192.168.1.1
Maybe that screw the files because my other tablet didn't move from home and didn't get the problem.

I'll write a script in Tasker to remove the data periodically if it happens again but I hope that it won't.
I don't like doing factory resets because that literally means a day of work fixing my tablet to my standards again.

i'm having the same issue... have a massive wifi network at work and the access point is 10 feet away and the signal jumps around and will not connect

Just delete the file I've listed and it will work if you're experiencing the same problem as me.

that did it!!!
Thanks

this happen to me too .factory reset for me .....hope never happen in future

my wifi stopped working after i updated to 3.1 but all i did was settings -- wireless and networks and removed my wireless settings and added again as new..and everything started working

permission issues on dhcp file...
Most probably the root cause is a permission issues on that particular file after upgrade... Should not happen anymore in the future.

I don't think that's the case. It happened to me again after I've installed Acer phone disabler. Again deleting the file worked but I was able to recreate it whenever I had an unclean shutdown of the tablet.
Permissions were ok. I've checked. Besides that wouldn't explain wifi working normally after update and then not working the next hour (I didn't even touch the tablet in the meantime).

same thing here. Nothing worked except a full wipe. I wonder where this is coming from?

I'm testing and it seems that the most probable cause is an unclean shutdown.
I was able to recreate it whenever I've used Acer phone disabler app.
Does anyone else use this app so that we can narrow it down?

guy it happen again please try a solution. how can i make a downgrade? where can i find the file to delete?what app i have to use to find it? astro is ok?

I've written everything in my post on page 1. The filename (dhcpd-wlan0.lease) and location (data/misc/dhcp/).

Yes but i can't find the ile with astro...uff reset again....

Use root explorer. I've also experienced the error so I'm moving to a new rom (was using the leaked 3.1 rom).

does anyone know if any of the other custom roms fixes this issue?
im using the leaked acer rom in stock form and used it to upgrade from my stock 3.0.1 rom (Australian version)

But i have to root the tablet before to use root explorer?
Does exist a program with no root access to that file?
edit ok i rooted my tab but i can't find the file to delete but maybe it create when wifi will fail .....i have just to wait thank's everybody for now...

3.1 Update - Wifi Broken

Hi all,
Since my wife updated her a500 to 3.1 she is no longer able to connect to any wifi networks.
There's a few threads around talking about replacing the wpa_supplicant file, but this tab is NOT rooted, and is completely stock. It's only a couple of weeks old. I don't particularly want to root it unless I have to, because I don't have the time/cbf. I've tried rebooting everything, clearing cache, all the obvious things, but it just loops through the connection process.
Is there any way to fix it? I guess a factory reset is the next thing to try, but only want to do that if it's likely to work.
Thanks in advance.

Rooting is less work than a factory reset. And if you swap WPA_Supplicant files, you can connect to ad-hoc networks, like one broadcast by a smartphone. I did it myself last night in about 4 minutes.

Remove the connection from your device.
Reboot your wifi router.
Set up the connection in the A500 again.
Good Luck.

Pretty sure it could wireless tether before the update. I'll look at rooting I guess...have to do it to 2 devices though and support them long term...so not overly keen...had hoped acer would take care of it all.

I'm confused. If you're worried about someone running amok with root, just unroot once you've got it fixed. What's the support concern?

Hi I don't know whether will this help in your situation; I had similar problems when after 3.1 update, the wifi connection fails. I go to setting-networks-wifi-settings. next i will "forget network" the connection that fails, and then I add them manually in the "add wifi network".
after that the wifi is back in working condition for me. Hope this helps.

Got onto Acer today. They barely asked me any questions, and advised a factory reset, and they will contact me when a fix is available. I guess they are aware of the issue. They also advised that rooting won't void warranty unless it damages the hardware. So probably going to go that method.

This just happened to me today out of the blue sense day 1 ota of 3.1 and factory reset did fix the problem. Im very tech savay and did everything I could before doing a drastic last ditch effort of resetting and this seemed to be the only quick solution.

This happens with non-final 3.1 and it is a known glitch. Just update to final 3.1 and problem solved. Otherwise you just have to erase a file in the dhcp folder.
Best regards.

Yes, you can fix this by deleting a file, but no, it's not a problem with just non-final updates. I had not updated anythinh unofficial, and this happened to me. I got the offial OTA 3.1 update and have been fighting this issue ever since. Very annoying, basically requires everybody to root their device until this is fixed. See here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1138905&page=7

I rooted my acer so I could replace the wpa_supplicant file to update it. then when I unrooted it, my wifi wont work either. It just says error and I tried that factory reset and it didnt help either. now I dont know wut to do

Hi guys! Im new here and I just wanted to share my experience with my Acer Iconia after updating to Honeycomb 3.1
After updating to Honeycomb, it did seem to run faster and better but after how many hours, i wasnt able to connect to any wifi network. That pissed me off... :l
I tried numerous ways to try and fix it, I even tried manually using static ip and reserving an ip address for my tablet and it worked, it did connect but there was no internet.
So I tried resetting my tablet by pressing the reset button beside the usb port. the first reset, no luck, still won't connect but on the second time i reset my device i was able to connect
I suggest before you do a factory reset on your device, try resetting your device first 2 times and make sure to forget the wifi networks as well and try reconnecting again.
I hope this helps! So far I've connected to three different wifi networks and experienced no problem at all.

Dude this actually worked, Thanks.

Yeah, thanks for that.
Mine was fine for a while after 3.1 update and suddenly lost wi-fi.
The guy above is correct.
I deleted the wifi details (ie long click, forget).
Reset Once. Still broken.
Reset second time. Enter password.
Working.
Weird. (my tablet is unrooted, standard OTA 3.1 update).

delete this to fix
dhcpd-wlan0.lease

Can't tether after ICS then factory reset

I'm not rooted and updated to ICS this morning. Brought my transformer to work with me since I was excited and was tethering to my phone via ad-hoc fine. I then decided to do a factory reset to clear up the tablet and do some optimization. Next thing you know I can no longer tether to my phone so now I'm stuck without wifi.
My tether network shows up in the available wifi list but when I try to connect it just saves the network but not connect. Does anyone have suggestions on how to fix this?

There is no reason that a factory reset would block it from being able to connect to a ad hoc network. The only thing that I can think of is that you typed the password wrong but like I said there is no reason it shouldn't work.

I didn't set any encryption on the tether network, it's the only way I was able to get tethering working previously.

Interesting, maybe reboot your phone? Like I said, I really don't think a factory restore could do anything that would prevent this from happening.

I was worried about the tethering. The Prime guys lost it with ics and had to root to get it back.

Yes, I have tried restarting my phone a few times. I was originally using android-wifi-tether 3.1b11 but have also tried barnacle tether, both have the same results. I'm attempting another reset on the transformer now in case I screwed something up on setup. I backed up all my apps before resetting the first time so at least I can install them, but no network access.

Asus had previously fixed ad-hoc in the August OTA, but it looks like the new ICS OTA doesn't have that fix anymore. So, you might try bluetooth pan networking instead. I don't think any amount of factory resets will get your ad-hoc wifi back without actually reverting to a pre ICS install.

I was able to find a wifi tether profile that allowed me to put my phone into AP mode so it's now working without ad-hoc. Thanks for trying to help

Dude, PdaNet has a (new) version for ICS for free. It does bluetooth and more. You might want to check out.

Just fired up wireless tether, connected to it and browsed the web with no problems.

I came from Revolver. After the ICS update my tether had no issues. I use the app WiFi Tether.
The only thing I noticed is that ICS does not gracefully disconnect after I shut tether off. In fact, the wireless rings for signal indicator grey out but are all still present. After a while, I turned the tether app back on and had to dicsonnect/reconnect wifi on the tab. There was a message like something about "continued poor signal". After the standard off/on of wifi all was good.

Thanks, thats what I was using but I had a really old version. I guess I should update my apps more.

[Q] WiFi hell - WiFi connected but no Internet access

My a500 is stock running 4.0.3.
Recently the WiFi has become totally unreliable. It shows that it is connected to my network, with good signal strength, but most of the time none of my apps can connect to the Internet. As far as I can tell it seems to connect on its own every few hours because my email is downloading from time to time while the tablet is unattended.
At any time, I can make the WiFi work by turning it off in the settings and then turning it back on. It will work for a while but before long the Internet connection is gone (even though the WiFi is connected). This is really annoying and tedious. I shouldn't have to constantly do this.
I have lots of other WiFi devices and all of them are working just fine; this includes another HTC tablet, cell phones, laptop, etc.
No changes have been made to the a500 in ages so this definitely isn't due to installing any new software or anything like that. My WiFi used to work just fine until this problem popped up. Now it's a major PITA to use. Yes, of course I have tried power cycling the tablet and that doesn't solve the problem.
Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated. TIA

I haven't tried, and I was hoping to avoid that because I hate having to reinstall all my apps. Hoping there's another option, especially since I may go though with the restore and still have the problem.
I did some more research and found that other devices with WiFi problems were fixed by turning WMM off in their router's QOS or turning mixed mode off in their wireless settings. My WMM is on and so is mixed mode. Anyone think that could be the root of my problem?

Possibly. Try it

That could possible help, if you do not want to do factory reset. There are lots of applications that will save all your applications like app backup and restore or titanium backup.

I'm not rooted and had little motivation to root my tablet.
Maybe I'll use a less sophisticated solution like App List Backup which will at least save a list of my installed apps. And IIRC it's supposed to save a link to the Play store for each app but I din't think I've ever gotten that part to work.

[Q] Wifi and me - not happening! Piece of CRAP google!

I'm sure I'm not alone in this.
My N4 won't connect to wifi. Well it connects but Won't keep a connection to complete a playstore app install nor update the system itself?
This is what I posted on "Issue 40065: Nexus 4 and Nexus 7 Wifi Drops connection Android 4.2"
New device just received. Will connect to wifi but unable to install any apps thru play store.... Just shows data transferring but none actually happens. I'm unable to install none of the gapps updates. Left it alone for 2 days did not help. removing password from router and making it an open router did not help. Now trying to decide I should return the device as it is only usable as a phone not a multimedia device which this N4 should be?
There are a lot of people having the same kind of issue on this phone. A little search brings up lots and lots of complaints.
Still unable to connect to my router encore model 2AN3.
Tried to connect to open wifi router at McD and [email protected]#$ - still no go. It will connect think about it and stops. The icon at the top turns green and gray and keeps doing it.
How ever I was able to connect to the open wifi router on another Nexus S (my older phone) and was able to download updates and install said applications from play store.
This tells me that hardware is good. Software coded so badly that it is unable to keep a connection to routers.
So if you need to use this phone on a wifi router - wait until google fix this or get another phone.
As for me - it is a shame I will have to return this phone to google as it is useless media device. Just a phone which I can get a cheap phone for 10 bucks not $400 piece of [email protected]#$%T.
Sorry for the RANT.

I guess its the lease period on your router that you need to change... put it to lease expiring n a day or two... shuld work.. I had this issue when I upgraded to 2.3.6 on my Atrix

I just called. This guy treated me like I'm noob. But I digress.. He asked me to turn off GPS and try again saying that GPS and wifi together can not be on at the same time. That still did not work. So there is a request for replacement. Not really sure when I will get it. But keep my finger crossed - that I get a working wifi and gps at the same time ??
Don't really want to return it though since I like the phone form factor and such!
What a shame.

You shouldn't be flashing ROMs to try and fix something as basic as this. You're only adding more variables to the problem. My WiFi has been rock solid, and so apparently is that of most other posters. This would tend to indicate that there is a specific problem with your phone.
Unless there is something seriously wrong with your router it's RMA time I reckon.
