Hello,
I open a thread to describe my problem since nobody could help me until now. I guess this must be an advanced problem, because I don't think I'm noob enough to have screwed something up.
So fisrt of all, the background :
Had a problem with wifi after a fall: low range, crappy bandwith, disconnected all the time
Sent my phone to RMA service TWICE : not fixed in the first time, some hardware piece changed the second time
Got back my phone : firmware updated to 3.14, radio 2.15, wifi working perfectly under WinMo
From there, it gets complicated. At first, I decide to try my old cedsmith sense build, the first with new initrd.gz : wifi works fine
Then I try Darkstone froyo RAM build : wifi connects, gets an IP (I see my device from my router's control pannel), BUT NO DATA, market, browser, web apps won't load...
Then I go to cedsmith's desire HD build (not RAM) : wifi works fine...
Then I decide to try MIUI Star RAM build : wifi works for 2 day, with data freezes and timeouts, then it do not work anymore...same problem as Darkstone's RAM build.
Then NAND arrives :
I try DFT Desire build : wifi ok
I try Gauner1986 Desire HD build : wifi ok
I try CM6.1 build : wifi not ok
I try tytung's Nexus build : wifi not ok
Now I'm back to DFT's desire build, and wifi works perfectly.
So after processing data in my mind, the main common factor in working build is Sense, and no Sense for non working builds...
May I assume that HTC RMA service may have replaced some wifi chipset or antenna for a different one, working with only with HTC builds because they have specific drivers?
I have tried to ping from non working builds with Terminal Emulator :
Router is fine (192.168.0.1 : every packet is transmitted)
www.google.com is not fine (around 1 packet off 5 is transmitted...)
I have an european HD2 with 512Mo of internal storage, so I would like to be able to use non sense build, essentially for space matter...To conclude, I have to questions, mostly for programmers since this is an advanced issue : what do you think my problem is, and what can I do to to fix it...if it can be fixed?
Thank you for your help.
UPDATE : My issue has been solved by adding another router to my local network, dedicated to my phone. It is a Hercules HWNRi-300, with 802.11n feature , so maybe it's the différence with my previous router which only supported 802.11g or maybe it was due to an IP conflict, traffic issue, I don't know...But now that my HD2 has its own dedicated AP, with its own IP sub network, it works perfectly fine, even with non-sense builds.
But anyway, if someone can find a solution for other dudes with the same problem, it would be cool, that is why I'll let this thread hanging around and matbe update it from time to time, since, even if a workaround has been found, the real issue hasn't been really fixed yet.
Thanks everybody for helping and goodluck to others.
It's unlikely any of the ROM programmers will come here.
Do you have a firewall installed?
I was having similar problems before with data/wifi working on some builds and not others but then I figured out it was DroidWall - it was behaving differently on different builds. On some builds, I had to "allow all" in the "white list" in order for data to work.

No, I don't have any firewall installed. And I have DMZed the IP obtained by my HD2...
Actually, on these builds, wifi NEVER WORKED, blank data.img no app installed, nothing at all...
Suggested by RedWave31 :
About your problem, seems ur having conflicts about either build.prop, or modules.
One solution i thought about:
- Launch a sense build in wich the wifi works
- Go into system/lib/modules and backup all files in there
- Launch the CM6.1 build
- Replace the cm6 modules with the sense modules
- chmod 777* the folder
- reboot and try
>This may take time like 15 minutes, but for now, it's the only solution that came to my mind

My answer :
Thx, I'll add it to my thread (to remember it). I will try to apply solution when I have several suggestions, but I think it won't changer anything : I have already tried to change the kernel on RAM builds, with RAM compliant Hastarin 8.6 with CIFS, copied the bcm.ko and tun.ko modules, and it did not fix the issue...

I have also tried to modify build.prop's DNS with google public DNS,no success...
The wifi did not work for me on the CM 1.02 NAND build either, it just said error even tho 1.02 was supposed to fix the wifi lol
i dont think its your phone, iv had on and off wifi issues with every rom sense or not since i began using android builds on my HD2.
and dont even get me started on bluetooth !! I ended up switching to a HTC Desire until just recently NAND came out. Still then i had no wifi on the CM 1.02 NAND build
Nexus wifi worked and MDJ gingerbread wifi and bluetooth worked for me

I NEVER had ANY problem with wifi, using more than 10 different builds, Sense and non Sense, for months until sending my phone to RMA for...wifi issue (on Android and Winmo).
So I'm kind of sure it is related...
Tried JAWS' MIUI nand build, and JMDS ultimate build, same issue...
Help please !
I think your issue is the age old RMNET vs PPP builds. Using 3.14 rom and radio 2.15, you should be using a PPP build, which is why I think only those that use PPP, which I believe is only the Desire Builds, is what is causing your issues. But I'm only taking a stab in the dark with one, because I Jaws MIUI is working just fine for me, and i had both 3.14 rom and 2.15 radio, and everything works just fine. If the other builds are working, then why not just use those till something else comes out?
My problem is about WIFI man c'mon, did you even read my first post?
And it's not a winmo version problem or a radio problem : I had switched to chuckydroid and radio 2.10.50.28_2 before flashing MAGLDR....And problem was the same.
Thanks for trying to help really. But I think it is a very specific issue : if twas not, I surely wouldn't have opened a thread about it...
Sent from my HTC HD2 using XDA App
well its certainly not sense vs non-sense problem. it could be a number of issues, one of them possibly being a kernal issue with specific builds. NAND is still very buggy right now, with lots of problems popping up that people didn't expect, so if you find one that works and really want NAND then use the one that works, pretty simple. I can tell you its not a hardware problem because if it was, it wouldn't work on anything, sense or non-sense, sd, ram, or nand build.
@ OP I have the the same problem. Check out the thread I started. Tell me if this is the same problem your having. Been dealing with this forever. http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=879482 I want to fix this problem once and for all.
try this :
when u connected to wifi
check gateway ip and dns
i believe for ip u already have a correct one because you can ping your router, but if gateway and dns has wrong value then data from wifi will not work..
to do that, run terminal or adb shell from ur pc, type :
#busybox ifconfig
find wlan0 and look at ip and gateway
#getprop net.dns1
#getprop net.dns2
this dns value must match with your router dns value (or whatever the internet provider backbone in ur router)
the easy way to look at ur dns router is by looking at status network conection in control panel..

It has nothing to do with NAND, it occured before MAGLDR's release. You can tell me it's not a hardware problem without even reading my first post? How do you know it's not a driver problem, which is hardware related?
Please, this kind of advice won't help, thank you for bothering but do not anymore.

I've read your thread. It seems like a similar issue, but it's not quite the same. For me, even browser is not working, the loading bar is stuck at the very beginning.
The only proof of connexion Icould get was this ping to google, 1 packet of 5 reaching destination, and I with speed test, like 3 to 4 minutes after launch, I could get the button "Begin test". The results were 999 for the ping, -0kb for the download, and for upload, I had some positive, like 20 to 50kb. But the test was very long...
So it makes me conclude that it's not quite the same issue...

I thought it might be a DNS problem, but since I've modified the build.prop with google DNS values, I assumed that it should have settled it. For the gateway, since I can ping 192.168.0.1, gateway must be correctly set up right?
I'll test your idea and will let you know the results. Thank you for helping.

DAMN I can't believe it ! Wifi worked for like ONE hour ! Then plop, went bugging again !
I flashed MDJ Froyo Revolution, then in order to check your idea, went back to tytung's Nexus NAND, and wifi worked ! Then I went to JMDS build, and wifi worked again at first, but when I tried to connect later, bug was back !
So I checked your commands, DNS displayed is the one of my provider (even if the build.prop is different), and gateway is strange : 192.168.0.255 instead of 192.168.0.1, but the fact is that I did the same thing with fully working sens build, and result was the same...
I'm getting more and more confused there.
So...any idea?
Help...Please guys....

I tried to change the dns server in build.prop but it seemed that it's wasn't working so I had to modify my WiFi Advanced Settings to the following :
Use static IP : *Enabled*
IP Address : *Set your prefered*
Gateway : 192.168.1.254 *This is mine, set your own*
Netmask : 255.255.255
DNS 1 : 8.8.8.8 *Google's Server*
DNS 2 : 8.8.8.8
Then hit menu -> Save .. Disconnect WiFi then reconnect ..
*This is for WiFi only, 3G I'm not sure*

Hello,
I've been experiencing this problem frequently . With almost all builds .
It's that I have my phone connected to 3G or WiFi it says " Connected ", However I Cannot
use any internet service such as Market, web, Twitter . It's just an icon on the taskbar.
I've done some searches, found similar threads about the same problem but without any solutions.
No, I didn't change the kernel of the build. though i used to change it sometimes and everything works fine
Any help is always appreciated

I'm having the same problems!!
Same issue here (sorry to the threadstarter for bumbing the tread without any solution )
^^
After one hard Reset and MANY sd card formats, I got it to work .
(i tried to make a back up of the files i had on the sd but it just wouldn't work. Had to complete fresh format without backups !
EDIT ::
Only 3g is working, WiFi still connected without internet connectivity :\
I have the same issue...but only if my phone sleeps with Wifi on without charger attached.
I think this issue is with the android because WM did't have this problem and I saw this problem with other android build as well

Perhaps.
Because I've tried so many builds ! All of them had this problem, although not immediatly (i.e I use the phone for a few weeks then suddenly the WiFi stops working (no internet access) )
I also face it when I switch builds, but i get over it by formatting the sd card. But now, No matter what i do it never let me connect to the internet !
This happend to me when I tried DRIOD Sense I then changed to MDJ Evo 1.7 and everything works perfect and I am well happy !

oK, But if you want a certain build ! And the wifi isn't working in it !
Actually I've tried all builds but then i recognized that the best build so far is MIUI 5/11 (for me) and i was MDJ sense Rev. (Wifi working perfectly) then i wanted to switch to MIUI ( wifi here stopped working ) after many attempts to make it work i couldn't and i gave up hope, Switched to Nexus1 build (second best build 4 me ) and guess what ? the WiFi is working Just fine !
Anyways I backed up all my apps and data from it and moved to Nexus one, Thank ya'll for your responses ! .
Bumping .. Having the issue again is just freaking me out !!
After I had the issue I Flashed another ROM then everything worked fine, Now with the same rom the issue returned !
Solutions ? Anybody ? ...
Hi guys, I'm new to HD2, I'm an Android user and obviously I've installed NAND android in my HD2!
Now a question, I've searched a lot without having responses:
Why if I use a SENSE rom, ALL works fine, BUT if I use a NON.Sense Rom, wifi will not work???
The problem is that is connects (says connected) BUT do not have data....if I open for example the browser it says he want data connection, also sometimes it starts downloading the page and freezes data at the just beginning...
tried 3 different radios until now...
Really dunno what to do!
Can anyone help me???
It appears quite a few of us are having this same problem. I've been dealing with this for months. I finally just gave up and stopped thinking about wifi.
is it possible that many users have a problem like that an there is no explanation about it?

I also have the same issue. I see that I do have an IP, gwy, dns, etc, etc.... but still not working. I'm using MDJ 2.1, but for me, it is not working on any NAND build =(
could it be RadioROM related??
I dunno, I've tested 2.15.50.15, 2.11.50.6, 2.08.50
and in all of them, I have this iussue...
the strange thing is that works on sense build and not in non-sense builds... this does not have any sense!! lol!
And I talk having tested at least 8 roms with 3 different kernel each...with ppp and rmnet...

every sense I've tried:

-=MDJ Revolution HD v.2.2=-
Raidroid HD Sense v1.1
and the one I'm building from a desire one...
all work smooth and without problems...with MDJ kernel or Prj one...
It has nothing to do with nand. I have the same issue. Even rajko and roniez could not solve it. I solved it myself...by changing of router !
Try with another AP, and it should work.

In my case I have tried different routers and is not the problem. I connect at home and the office, all without success.
Well, it's working today after I tried something, but I have had it working for only half hour or so:
Change the wifi channel to 11
I'm using the latest mdeejay build with wpa2 authentication.
Your issue is different than us. Your channel problem would give you ping problem between your phone and AP. Here, I have a perfect ping to router, but crappy ping to any web adress. It means that it's a routing issue from my specific router wan access to my phone. That's why switching router works...

Nope, actually, the behavior is the same for me, I have perfect pings to the router, but unable to ping the outside. As I said, I switched channels and the issue went away... for a couple of minutes. Now it is back. I'm trying with more than one AP, as I'm a network engineer I have access to several ones, and the problem is visible in all of them.
I've tried to use static ip,to not sleep, set router and phone to th same channels, but SOMETIMES it uses data...
mostly the strange thing is that it loads (some) mobile pages, but NEVER a desktop like page...
even the market does not connect...
on Sense it is PERFECT...
does this make any sense? What differs the wifi in sense and non-sense roms??
its kinda weird that I am stuck to only sese builds If I want to use a wifi network...

still no possible any connection with routers with non-sense builds...
Just wondering, what is your WIFI MAC ADDRESS on your phone? you can check that out in
Gingerbread
Settings -> About Phone -> Status
Froyo
Settings -> About Phone -> Hardware
Make sure you turn on the WIFI first before checking.
If your MAC is 00:00:00:00:00:00
You know where your problem is.
Newer Kernels such as MDJ's 10.x generates a MAC address based on your IMEI I think, therefore the MAC Address is always the same. However older Kernels do not, and they leave the MAC Address as 00:00:00:00:00:00 which cannot be used by certain routers.
HI thx for the reply
I always use MDJ kenrels or the prj one! So the mac is like 00:90:4c24:84:EC
It's always the same for sense and non sense ones...
Dunno...
up...
seems a strange behaviour:
It says connected (on the phone), I obtain ip adress from router, mac adress is "normal", but on router says "NOT CONNECTED" (even if on the phone I'm connected....)
Would it be a router problem or a phone problem?
The strange is that with same MAC and same IP, on Sense IT WORKS!!
Install terminal emulator, then do
getprop net.dns1
getprop net.dns2
or if you have adb.exe and you know how to use it, do:
adb devices
adb shell
getprop net.dns1
getprop net.dns2
Then tell me what you get.
Hi, thx for the reply

Hi all,
Wondering if anyone knows how to make Android open the ports necessary for incoming connections for server apps to work without having to ping the client first under su?
Or failing that, is there a way to run a script that will ping the client IP instead of having to run the command by hand in terminal?
Thanks!

Second that! Something's off in 99/100 ROMS, TCP doesn't seem to do anything. Only one Sense ROM by cotulla seems to work.
I disabled the adblocking hosts file to test if it had anything to do with it (e.g. SSHDroid doesn't work with it) but that didn't help anything either
Agreed, does not seem to work on any rom I've tried, only Cotulla's 'Stock Desire' Sense build seems to work (this one: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=893620).
Too bad Sense's so completely dire, otherwise I'd use that. I want CyanogenMOD.
Having the same question. I am sure here must be someone who knows how to enable inbound connections....
Little update:
I noticed it is possible for me to ping and use all services when using the gateway to access everything, in my case the access point/wifi router.
So it looks like this is some kind of routing/firewall issue but I can't find anything about default blocking or firewalling on android...
Good news. I found out what is causing this on almost every build.
It has something to do with the stock wifi tethering. If you try and enable it in almost every rom it will fail, but now turn on your wifi again and everything works as it would normally do!
The build it does work on also has working stock wifi tethering, so that explains that...
For now it's good to have this workaround and I hop to have a proper fix in the future
im using RAFDROID 3.0 and i dont think i have this problem at all. I tried SwiFTP and it connected without any issues.
Try to update the busybox version mine is 1.15.2

I tried this on Frankinstine's awesome ROM, but no cigar. There has to be a firewall rule or setting we can tweak to allow this kind of traffic...

It works for me, but it's not 100% foolproof. It seems to work for a while, but not permanently. However, it's still better than the ping method. The ping method would never work for me, since I use Wifi at least 4 different places a week. Even when done automatically, how would I know what to ping on what Wifi network?! Random DHCP on workstations notwithstanding...
This does it for me:
turn on normal Wifi
wait around 10 seconds (for Wifi to 'start')
turn on Wifi hotspot (normal wifi should turn it self off automatically)
wait around 20 seconds (the hotspot takes a while to 'start', it actually fails (error) for me, but still does the trick)
turn normal Wifi on again
At that point it "works" for me, at least for a while.
At the very least this seems to indicate that the broken Wifi hotspot and this problem are related -- on Cotulla's build (where stock Wifi hotspot WORKS), this problem is non-existent.
Unfortunatly your steps do not work for me :-(

wait around 10 seconds (for Wifi to 'start')
turn on Wifi hotspot (normal wifi should turn it self off automatically)
wait around 20 seconds (the hotspot takes a while to 'start', it actually fails (error) for me, but still does the trick)
turn normal Wifi on again
At that point it "works" for me, at least for a while.
At the very least this seems to indicate that the broken Wifi hotspot and this problem are related -- on Cotulla's build (where stock Wifi hotspot WORKS), this problem is non-existent.

That's unlucky. Those steps seem to "work" for me on CleanDroid 1.30. Maybe we can just hope it works again when the stock wifi hotspot is fixed.
Alternate "solution":
Get Cotulla's "Stock Desire" ROM: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=893620
It definitely works on that. Too bad sense is dog****, and your battery will last for a day max.

Just tried this and it worked. As soon as I started the wifi the second time my computer started pinging HD2.
My usual procedure for fixing this was to start wifi, see assigned IP address and then ping my computer from 'Net Ping' app. This can be faster sometimes.
Is there a way to port hotspot from Cotulla's build to a nonSense build? No way for me to come back to sense again

Don't know, it's probably in the kernel, so shouldn't be too difficult, but then again, I haven't really got a clue about building ROMs.

Hello everyone!!
I installed NexusHD2-Gingerbread V2.8 ROM in my HTC HD2, everything works just perfectly, but when I try to access the wireless at work that has the SSID hidden and password protected with WEP encryption the wireless doesn't work at all, it says: "Not in range, WEP protected"
I have configured the network manualy, with static IP Address, Gateway, Net Mask, and DNS (all required to be able to connect to the network)
I have searched alot in google and in this Forum, but I failed to get a solution to my problem, I have installed programs like "Wifi Advanced", "WifiConnector", "Hidden SSID"... But none of them solved my problem.
When I had Windows Mobile 6.5 installed everything worked just fine, but since I moved to Android I failed everytime to connect to the wireless.
My System:
- HTC HD2 (bought new, unbranded)
- NexusHD2-Gingerbread_V2.8_NAND_(Android-2.3.4)
- Radio Leo 2.15.50.14
- MAGLDR_CWM_Recovery_v3.0.2.5_for_NexusHD2_135M
- HSPL 2.08
No one can help ?
This is really anoying
Am I the only person having this problem ?
No one have any idea how to solve this ??
Please help!!
Hi SmileXPT,
This is a irritating problem indeed. I use to have the same issue on some SD and NAND builds before, and the reason was the security settings of my router + MAC address filtering was enabled. It used to be WEP too, but nowadays it's advisable to use atleast WPA or WPA2 since it is more secure.
You could check if the router or accesspoint has MAC address filtering enabled. This means that the MAC address of your HD2 isn't in the whitelist of the router. In some Android builds the MAC address isn't unique, or the kernel isn't stable, for example: PPP is faster than RMNET but can drop out, RMNET is more stable but slightly slower.
You could also try Pongster's "HyperDroid-CM7-v2.1.0" build. I use it daily with a stable wifi connection for Whatsapp. I never had a dropout with the connection.
But what I wonder is:
- does wifi work @ other places?
- does your HD2 see other accespoints in the list?

Thank you very much for your answer!
I know WPA and WPA2 are more secure... but because the network I'm trying to access is of my Company, I can't change the settings of it... The MAC Address filtering is not active.
I'm going to try the build that you suggested and I will let you know if worked.
Thanks again for your time!
Thanks mister.halfblood, the "HyperDroid-CM7-v2.1.0" really works very well
Now I don't have any problem with the wireless
The only problem is... that I don't like the default theme is too dark...
Thanks again!

Hi SmileXPT,
you're welcome, no problem!
I use to have the same NAND build on my HD2. Also have a look at the latest GPS fix from Tytung's thread here.
It will for sure help you out getting a better and faster signal lock.
If you would like to change the theme I advise you to check out some skins for ADW, a lot of them are free to download on the market.
Well, I'm glad all has worked out for you! Have a nice weekend!
Peace!
Hello, I have an EU HD2 running Hyperdoid 2.1.0, but I've had this problem no matter which rom I tried and I'm at my wits' end trying to solve it.
When I connect to WPA wifi routers, the connection starts out fine, but after a short while my connection to the router seems to get cut off. The delay before this happens could be seconds or it could be 1 or two minutes and seems to depend on the amount of data passing over the interface - when I view a streaming video for example, I get disconnected almost immediately, when I browse pages with few graphics it lasts a bit more. I tried this with 3 or 4 different routers with identical results.
Notwithstanding that no data is getting through, the phone still indicates that I am connected to the wifi router and when I ping the router it gives me a "no route to host". WEP and open networks work fine, so I had to change my home network to WEP, but I'm not conforable with it due to security concerns. I also have problems connecting to public wifi ap's because they are usually secured by WPA.
I suspect that this is related to the wpa_supplicant supplied with tytung's kernel, but I really have no way of knowing what's going on and I haven't been able to find anything in the logs.
Can anybody give me a hand with this? Solving this problem would make the hd2 the perfect phone for me.
please post this in the Q&A section NOT the dev section
i do not suffer from these issues and my router is wpa2 secured

The problem in this world is... FLAMING coming from people that are kinda stupid to help.. no offense as i haven't mentioned any of you.. I just can't understand, none of those flamers are mods/devs.. maybe i can say trolls since its a hobby..
Well i might help, i remember such a question before and i think i know the solution of WIFI connection disappearance.. there's an application (which you can find it in market) that survive's or something your WiFi connection.. i'll try searching it and if i find it.. i'll post the link..
Good luck with those flamers =)

Thanks white-energy. I use wifi fixer when I need to connect to a wpa network, but it's a less than satisfactory solution because it doesn't stop the connection from dropping - it just reconnects automatically. That means that I can browse almost normally, but streaming video or downloading is still almost impossible.
If you know of better software I would be very much obliged.

While I agree that this the wrong forum, should be moved to the right forum et all, here is my $0.02
Have you tried Tytung's NexusHD2 build (not just the kernel)? try 2.8 or 2.9, in my experience his implementation is the most reliable. So reliable that I use the Wifi/BT drivers and related files in my CM7 nightly build. And it works like a charm.
If you are having troubles even in his ROM, something else is wrong. Top of my head, try a different radio. I toggle between 2.12 and 2.15, both with varying degrees of reliability.

Hi ph03n!x,
Thanks for the tips. I haven't tried NexusHD2 because I like the cm7 mods. But I will presently, just to make sure. I'll also try switching radios.
Well.. i guess i have found it... here
It looks like it has some special things.

Give NexusHD2 a shot just to find the Wifi stability.
You can try the latest of the CM7 nightlies released by Arif Ali, along with Tytung's kernel (available in his thread).
I can upload my custom CM7 build based on Arif Ali's CM7 nightlies with Tytung's Kernel and Wifi/ BT drivers and related files somewhere, but am a cLK user. And of course I will have to remove my paid apps from it before sharing

Hi white-energy. I gave it a test drive but no luck. This software seems to be intended to maintain wifi while the Device is sleeping, but this problem I have occurs while the device is being used. Thanks anyway for your help!

I'm about to switch the radio. Let you know what happens .

Ok, so I tried switching radio to .12 - no joy. I also tried Tytung's NexusHD2, but it does exactly the same thing.
I don't know what else to try. If there weren't other people with this problem, I would suspect that my phone is defective, but would that make sense given that open networks and wep networks work fine??
