Wi-fi not working

After connecting to 3 different wireless connections and none of then working, I'm concluded that my wifi isn't working.
I go to settings and check wifi on, it finds the network, connects, but I lose my entire data connection for the duration wifi is turned on!
Is anyone else having this problem?
Sent from my Samsung Vibrant

I'm having the same issues with the wifi. I downloaded wifi analyzer to make sure I was on a good channel. Set it to the best channel and my signal strength is 100%. I will be able to connect for a little bit but for some reason it goes in and out, connection unsuccessful, yada yada yada. I messed with all the troubleshooting solutions for my router (dgl-4300) but nothing works. If anyone can reply with a fix or point me in the right direction, that would be greatly appreciated.

Same Issues
Any help is greatly appreciated. Data working fine when on 3G but Wifi = no data. Connection is fine, IP is fine.
UPDATE: It's working again on my home WIFI. Will have to see if it's just an "at work" issue. Hopefully IT can assist.

Same problem with Verizon MiFi
I have had ZERO problems connecting to the Linksys access points we have setup at my home and my office, but recently my work provided me with a Verizon MiFi (as well as an iPad - don't hate ) and I've had MANY issues trying to get my Vibrant to consistently connect to the MiFi.
My iPad, Motorola Droid, and Laptop have no issues connecting to the MiFi.
On my Vibrant I'm running the 2.1 stock ROM with root & the latest ClockWork recovery.
It will "connect" to the MiFi (I use quotes because I can't really tell - it AT LEAST receives an IP). But I'm unable to send and receive data. I can't even browse to the MiFi's internal configuration page .
To FINALLY get it to connect consistently I have to do some kind of random combo toggling the wifi off and back on and then turning the MiFi off and back on and it will EVENTUALLY connect and stay connected with data flowing freely.
I've customized my configuration a little bit on the MiFi so I'm going to reset it back to factory and not change the config to see if it makes a difference - because at lunch I was able to connect to my boss' MiFi with no problem. I'm thinking it may either be the phone or the mifi...

I've connected to about 10 different wireless networks with NO issues, at all. The connectivity is actually much better than my G1/Nexus.
HOWEVER, last night at a bar I was connected to their wifi, strong signal, but I was not able to use Data. I was in a very poor reception area for T-Mobile... don't think that could be an issue, bit the other places I use wi-fi that is not the case.
I just chalked it up as a fluke and moved on. Not sure what was wrong.

I had this happen to me today. I just rebooted and it went away. Toggling wifi didn't help, but I only tried it once. The phone reboots so quick I figured I'd give it a try.

I have set the phone up manually with static ip. Seems like its a problem with the dhcp.

Wifi problems on G1 - network error after a few minutes

Hi,
Sorry if this has been covered elsewhere but having searched I can't find anything that helps.
I have upgraded my G1 to run on Android 2.2 via all the links and information on here, but seem to be haing some trouble with Wifi.
The G1 finds and connects to my wireless access point no problem, I can then browse the Android Market on the phone but after about 1-2 minutes I get a message saying "A network error has occurred", I click retry repeatedly and sometimes after a few attempts I get it to load the page I want. I also experience the same when browsing the web on the G1.
I have tried manually creating the wifi connection but still no improvement. I have changed the channel of my access point but again still no improvement.
I have tried disabling Wifi on the G1 and using my mobile internet connection from my 3G network and this works fine.
Here are some details from my G1
Android version 2.2.1
Baseband version 62.50S.20.17U_2.22.19.26I
Kernel version 2.6.35.99-cyanogenmod shade(atsign) toxygene #2
Mod version CyanogenMod-6.1.0-DS
Build number FRG83
Any helpwill be greatly appreciated.
Regards
Gavin

Still no joy!!
Still hoping for some help, in the meantime I have updated the radio to 2.22.23.02 but still I am experiencing the same problem.
Help!

I have the exact same problem on my HD2. 3G and internet pass-through work fine, but when I'm on WiFi I get the network error messages. I have tried different WiFi networks, several Rom, radio, Kernel combinations and I still get the same errors. I even tried reverting back to the original T-Mobile Windows Rom. While I can't get the same errors, many web pages didn't load while browsing. In general I got the feeling that the rate of non-loading pages was similar to that of the network error pop-ups that I experienced while using Android. At this point I'm suspecting that I have a hardware problem. I tried opening up the phone and messing with the WiFi antenna connections, but nothing I did made any difference. I'm still looking for a solution, but no one has really addressed this exact problem.
While this may not be helpful to your specific problem I hope it makes you feel better that you are not alone.

What wifi do you run on? b/g/n ? That may also affect your connectivity.

It sounds more like a modem/access point problem to me...not phone.
Could be wifi interference from a cordless phone etc. Also, check you are using 20mhz bandwidth on your wifi access point. Some access points allow setting it to 40mhz which can really cause problems.
Can you try wifi access from a friends house that is known reliable and see if there is any improvement?

I too have this issue
I have jumped through all the hoops to get my T-mobile G1 rooted, updated
(2.6.35.10-TheOfficial-pershoot-DreamSapphire-2708)
and it works great with my voice only sim from AT&T...except that the wifi just doesn't work right. It connected for about 20 minutes, and since then everything I try to do fails after a loooooooong pause "Network Error"
Is there anyone who has any idea what this can be?

The Wi Fi problem

Ok,this is quite common by now.Turn on WIFI,device connects to router,we've got internet access...until trying to download something from the market or watch video(well,anything above 2MB).The network connection just freezes.The icon is still there,indicating strong signal,but Opera says "Check your network connection".
Turning off and turning on again the WiFi and reconnecting resolves the problem for another 5 mins...
Different routers,different places,different people with X8- same issue.
Things I've tried:
-Several Wi-Fi fix apps
-Different router
-Change router to b instead of g
-Change router channels
-Clean wireless network profiles
-Wrote an email to SE,still no reply
-Updated to latest firmware (2.1.1.-something),got even worse
Thanks for looking and have a nice day!

I am not dev but if it is not working right and you cant find a solution go to suport with the garanty and get a new...
It will take you more time trying to fix it by your shelf...
(Ps: i am not sure that sony is able to fix it.. giving you a new if there is a problem is more easy...)
I dont think i helped...

Well, this post will not provide you any help
I've read so many threads like this, saying that WiFi isn't working properly with their devices. so far the wifi didn't bring my any troubles. even with stock ROM, MiniCM, and CM7.

I have no issue with wireless at all with my ancient Samsung galaxy yet my wife's new SE X8 with stock 2.1 rom is hating our wireless. X8 connects fine for about 24 hours after which phone disconnects and fails to reconnect. It says disconnected despite me trying to click connect. It doesn't say "connecting" nor "obtaining IP..." simply does nothing. The only solution so far is router restart which fixes the problem for about a day. Things tried:
- ssid change
- encryption change
- Chanel change
None seem to have fixed the problem.

[Q] wifi and dhcp issue with 3.1 stock

hi everyone, some days ago I installed the virtuous 1.6, than replaced with a rooted stock 3.1. Since then, when I disconnect from my wifi for a while, getting far away from my router, it happens that coming back into the wifi field the tablet tries to reconnect but after 4 or 5 times it stops trying and tells me the connection is disabled. I see the dhcp service bouncing, no ip assigned. The only solution I've found googlin' around is to rename/delete the file dhcpcd-wlan0.lease in /data/misc/dhcp. It worked. but the issue got back again and again. I wanted to find out the cause and solve the problem once and forever, if possible. It's a pain in the... you know

Here is my topic. There is also one solution to it apart from the one you've found in google (which was probably my topic anyway ).

You're right, it'was your post. I've read it againg but I can't find out which could be the alternatrive solution. Keep in mind that when I got this wrong behaviour the first time obviously I invesitgated the possible causes, and I discovered the inability to retrieve a dhcp IP address either with my wifi router, with my wifi access point 3g and with a tethered connection via Iphone (all of them I normally use when I'm not at office). None of these would work until the uplisted file deletion). Would you be so kind as to suggest me, if you can, the possible solution in more detail (apart from performing a global reset that would be as annoying than deleting the file)
In any case, many tnx for your answer

Currently the common solution is to abandon the leaked 3.1 rom or put up with the bug.
Manually setting DHCP also works but it's usefull only if you'll use the tablet on one wifi. Else it's just a big pain in the arse.

I have same issue with the stock 3.1 rom.
At the end what I did was manually assign IP address for my iPhone's MyWi connection.
It seems mine has no trouble to connect to my home wi-fi network as well as work...

I also get that problem. But now, seems to have fixed it. I have done the followings:
- delete the dhcp lease file
- change the channel of my wifi router to 9 or below
- download the ad-hoc supported wpa_supplicant
Please try if above help you

[Q] Root Wifi Issues

Hey guys,
I just recently rooted my s4 and I have been experiencing issues with my wifi. As a first time rooter, I was curious if there are any ideas you guys have to help? Thanks

Rooting won't have any impact on your WiFi or any other phone performance. Have you made any other changes since rooting and what Wi-Fi problems are you having?

I haven't really done anything at all after rooting it. My internet connections just says, "Network disabled because Internet connection is slow". Although it is slow, it has always connected before rooting. Now, I can't even send picture texts or be in group text messages. I've downloaded a few apps, but none that affects wifi.

Do you have this problem on all Wi-Fi or just one? I'd try resetting the router

I have about 5 wifi routers in my house and it doesn't work for any of them. I haven't tried it on a public wifi, but I'd assume it wouldn't work there either. I'm currently posting this from my house, so I know the wifi is working.

My download speed is 9 mbps and upload is 2.5 mbps so I know that the home wifi is not the issues, it has to be the phone. Is there something I could have forgotten to do that has caused this? or anything else?

Same problem here. Already posted about it in another thread. Have updated to 4.3 and eversince the phone won't connect to a wifi network unless it's placed right next to the router. Any other device connects smoothly. Same info when i check the wifi scan "Network disabled because Internet connection is slow". The problem stands for any router, not just mine.
I have already flashed a stock modem.bin, made no difference.
Had any better luck?
