save your apps(only apps and config of the apps no system data) with titanium backup, store the titanium backup folder on your pc
make a hard reset and flash the newest firmeware, after that copy tb folder back on your phone and restore the apps.
have fun

Just a guess, check this if problem is: '' wifi stuck on obtaining IP address from".
for me, problem was on my home router and work router was ok, the thing which worked and still working for me(I found it somewhere here only), is go to AllShare app on your device and then it will ask you to connect wifi and there you go it will connect wifi right away.
I use this trick every now and then, funny thing is problem does not occur if my home router is continually running, if I turn off router before leaving for office and in the phone stuck again and AllShare trick works all the time.
try it, may it works for you too.

Great tips, I will try this later and let you know is this works...

Thanks. Awesome tip. Have been fighting with this problem so long. Works like a charm

fine, that the tipp help you

Awesome, now everything works as a charm. Thanks a lot!!!

I agree. Great tip. Used it for a while until I flashed 2.2.1 firmware. Now all my wifi problems have disappeared.

wifi problem fixed in 2.2.1
Seems, problem has been fixed in 2.2.1 release, for those who is yet to get 2.2.1 (not talking about flashers) can go for 'AllShare' solution.

hey guys im having a wifi problem as well but it seems its kind of different from the rest of you...
my wifi is connecting fine to my router... it runs fine for the first say maybe 5 mins... and then it just stops working even tho it still connected to the router... it just says no data connection... this was happening on my 2.2 froyo then i flashed it with darkys rom 9.2 and im still having the same problem... i need to reboot my phone then only the internet works again for 5 mins then stops again unless i reboot.... its verrryyy irritating i tell you...
tried the allshare but that didnt really make a diff cuz the router is connecting... im just notgetting any internet after a few mins....
any advice would be great..

unable to scan wifi networks; auto turn off of wifi
my problem is similar. i am able to turn on wifi but it won't scan networks ("unable to scan networks"). it then turn off the wifi after a few seconds by itself.
any help?
i've done several reboots and the allshare solution, the prob persists. will do an upgrade to gingerbread and will see if it solves the problem.

I've upgraded to gingerbread and wifi issues have been solved sunbed then.

wifi drops

I have a tattoo for a couple of days and my wifi connection drops out every few minutes. Have searched around xda and google but haven´t found an answer that worked/helped.
I have wireless router in my house. We don´t have any free wifi connections around city so i don´t how it behaves on other connections.
Did anyone found any kind of a solution for this?
What's your router model?
Wifi Drops
Same problem here i got a Netgear WNR2000
have you tried your router's connection with any other device ? (ex. a laptop or another cellphone? ) 'cause it might be a router connection problem
I haven´t tried it with other devices i will do so... It´s Huawei echolife HG520b

i tried 4 laptops and 2 printers to wifi ( works well
I have also been having this issue over the past couple of days. It has worked fine since I bought the phone last month and now the wifi connects and then starts searching again immediately. The router is working fine with laptops and ps3 and another desktop in the back of the house. Im sitting right beside the router now with the signal showing full bars but instantly looping into the search mode and dropping connection. Have soft reset several times and nothing. Also does it with a friends router.
What's the deal here? Is there a fix or a setting im missing?

I have tried my friends laptop and nokia E65 phone and both worked without any problem!
So it seems to be android problem...
I have tried many things that I´ve found on google site and other forums and nothing helped.
Have been changing chanels, security, firewall, hard reset the phone etc. and always the same-every couple of minutes it loses connection!
It seems to be the problem with android 2.1 also....
Hope that someone has a valid solution (and soon)
I had the same problem as all of you. Some times the internet connection was fine and other it simply droped and I couldn´t even find the connection in the setings..
So I asked in a Portuguese forum what could I do to solve the problem and I was advised to use the app 'fix my Wifi'.. I have to say it worked perfectly. It needs some time to understand the problem (some drops will hapen at the begining), but when it understands, the problem disapears.. Until this moment, it never droped again.. I advise you all to use it..
Hello from Slovenia!
Same problem with wifi. I checked the wifi fixer, but i dont know how to do with this app.
I cant click on start or ok, when i start the app, because the text is over the button.
I´ve got DL-524, and sometimes it works perfect, that stop working for 30sec maybe, and then work and then again stop.....
VERY MAD !
Greetings
Hello.
What it says in the begining is that you need to select 'never' in the wifi setings, the part where you choose when does the wifi turns off. Don't worry, use a wiget to turn wífi off when you don't need it..
Then just leave it on, it will fix, in time, your wifi problem. Whit me worked perfectly..

I change it manual, to always on. So just start the problem and turn on wifi and check if somethink happened
I think, that app Wifi Fixer, isnt for the HTC Tattoo. It stops all the time, screen is not in the right dimension, its buggy.
Force close, when try to activate it
Any other ideas?
I try :
- No security, open network ( Same problem )
- No Mac Filter
- WPA Personal TKIP
- WPA2 Personal
I change everything but, still problems
((( Sad
That is very strange, because i have a tattoo (i'm writing in it this moment!) and i'm using the app.. it works fine, no screen problems. I open it (and an icon appears in the tab bar) and i dont have to do anything else.. It really woks great, the connection never failed again and, as i said, i'm using it and it didmt go down. Before thist app, thist was impossible..

But when you start the app, i get on the tab bar, response like thank you for using ...... etc. but when i go to the program, the main screen is bad, About button and Ok, are got, but the active is in the middle of the text. Text is over the button. Heh strange
That ís very strange. But you dont need to go to the main menu. Just make sure the icon is in the tab bar. Then just wait for the app to do is job.. as i said, it will take some time..

WiFi Connection does not work

Is anyone else having the same problem as me. Running on the 1.66ROM my wifi has suddenly stopped working over the past week. It is connected to the correct connection but brings up error messages when I use Opera, sync email, weather, Twitter etc.
Because of this I'm having to use my 3G connections which:
a) isnt as fast
and
b) is taking up a large chunk of data.
I havent tried a hard reset yet as I feel that it would be a last chance scenario to do this as it was working before perfectly until the other week.
Hope someone can help.
Just bumping this.
Anyone got any ideas?
I'm having the same problem.... .is no one else having this problem???? ****!
I uninstalled the xda wifi router app and my connection worked again. Worth a shot for you....

[Q] Wifi tethering stops working after a few minutes

Just got my Arc yesterday and noticed a really wired problem. I turned on Wifi tethering and connected from my MBP, after a few minutes of normal usage internet stops working. Although Wifi still shows connected on my Mac but sites will never load.
I keep getting "WPA Key" incorrect error if I try to reconnect before I restart Wifi tethering on my Arc. Thing is this only happens when WPA is on, if I choose no security it works completely fine without any issues.
I also tried connecting from my Nexus One and the same thing happened after a few minutes, so it shouldn't be some sort of conflict between Arc and my MBP.
Everything else on my Arc works perfectly, I already tried a hard reset but it didn't help. Does anyone know what else could I try before sending my phone back to SE?
anyone?
Hey did you find a solution? Or has anyone got any suggestions, I have the exact same problem. I can connect to the phone for about 2 minutes then it suddenly stops working. I then cannot reconnect properly untill everything is reset. I tried using it without security after finding this post and it works for me as well - I don't want to have it open though, im in halls of residence so people will try using it. Im on three mobile, I wondered if it is a possible problem with their branded software. (USB tethering works perfectly)
I also cannot connect to the update service through the phone, it fails everytime but there is nothing wrong with the 3g connection etc, and only the update service has problems. I know this is not important, but it could be a sign that something is wrong so it is annoying me a little
Thanks

Wifi Problem Please Help

I have just bought my Htc Hd2 a few days ago. My Wifi on the phone seems to be playing tricks on me. I am connected to the Wifi, but only sometimes when I am lucky that I can go on the internet. I have no idea why it doesn't work 100% the time like the iphone4. I have tried factory reset the hd2 and it is the same. My modem connection works all the time I even tried going on the internet on the same wifi as my computer and it works on my computer. How can I fix this problem or is the hd2 always like that.
Have you already tried to increase your HD2's WiFi power in advanced WiFi settings?
Also what router are you using and what firmware are you running?
I had a LG Arena KM900 that would not play nice with my DIR-628 router
thanks uli71 for your suggestion. I think that might have solved the problem. I need to use hd2 for a while longer to see if the problem continues.

P8 Lite ALE-L21 cannot connect to Wi-Fi anymore (network access denied).

Hi everyone,
Since Friday my phone just stopped connecting to Wi-Fi networks. When it tries to connect it says "Network access denied". Mobile data and everything else work fine. I can technically connect if I literally put the phone on top of my router but even then it is unusable. Take two steps away from it and the connection drops. I spent the whole weekend and yesterday looking for a solution. I tried almost everything including resetting the phone, updating the phone from the current version to the B524 beta and back (rollback wiped my phone but I don't mind), the airplane mode trick and countless router rebootings. I really hope it's not a hardware issue, I've only had the phone for a couple of months... To make matters worse I ran out of data allowance and have to wait until next month for it to come back.
So yeah, kind of an annoying situation. Anyone know what is happening?
Thanks.
Have you already tried to connect to other wifi network, problem could also be in your router ...

I did, yes. I've tried to connect to mine, my brother's and some unsecured one that was near me.
if you are rooted then i suggest full wipe in twrp , download new rom and see if it works again , if not it must be the phone who has hardware problem.... and repair shop is needed
I have the same problem, my P8 Lite Wi-Fi just stopped working, tried several different Routers that used to work but just get Network Access Denied. Think this must be a software problem.
Hey !!! anyone get this solution will please help me i am facing same problem "Network access denied"
tried also Install New Rom but nothing will happen ... ???
Hey.
Im having same problem...visually everything works (not greyd out), but when scanning, scans for a second and then thats it. Tried wifi direct, doesnt work.
Also bluetooth doesnt work (same as wifi...cant find nothing).
Tried all those "tricks" what i could find on google, tried all rom builds, rooted-unrooted...nothing works so far.
