remebered wi-fi network disabled - Streak 5 General

i am using the dell 318 rom and my remembered wifi networks wont auto connect and allways show up disabled? looking around on the net it looks like a common problem is there a fix around here or an easy workaround? i have try every app i could find for wifi and nothing helps, and keeping wifi on (not alowing sleep) dont help
thanks

I vaguely recall that doing a reset fixes that issue.

a complete reset of the rom or a restart of the phone

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..

[Troubleshoot Discussion] all SGS WiFi problems here!

i dont think this is a SGS specific problem, possibly an app is doing this but cant figure out which one, during the day usually when i take out of sleep the wifi will come on for a moment then switch off, other times it stays on.
I have uninstalled Locale, and now use tasker but there are no settings I have entered for wifi, is there a way of figuring out which app could be doing this?
I have the some problem and don't know what it is
You can go to options and then go to wifi advanced options
(I have a Dutch phone so i don't know to correct name on English language on your phone)
you can select "never go to sleep" or somthing like that.
But is still have the problem
I'm also finding that I have to detach/reattached the wifi connection quite regularly. I'm using it on a 'n' network.

this is bug in the system.. it is the location doing.. it any app trying to get your location.. you are supposed to be able to turn it off by unchecking use wireless to determin location under wifi.. but it does not always seem to work.
I think the problem is with Google Maps (or Navigation, I don't remember). When I open it and starts to fix my location, the wifi will turn on althought I disabled in the settings the use of wifi networks to help the GPS. In theory, when you close GMaps/Navigation the wifi will turn off, but sometimes it will just leave it on.
It doesn't happen with other GPS apps like GPS Status, etc...
Will check what happens with Sygic later!
yes i have also tried unchecking check wireless networks for location, maybe switch off latitude?
its really bugging me as sometimes it gets stuck on switching off and you then cant do anything, and if you really do need wifi have to restart phone.
edit: switched off latitude, see if this is the culprit
I don't think Latitude has anything to do. I never used it and I have the same problem.
i have the same problem! its sooo annoying...
For the record, i'm using firmware XXJF3
If someone is using a newer firmware please check if the bug is already fixed.
not fixed in jf5 or jf7
just had to reboot stuck turning off. if anyone has a workaround or what service to kill to do so without rebooting please post.
I have all sorts of problems with wifi... keeps turning itself on when I disable it, keep losing connection, drains battery, locks the phone up (i think its wifi doing this) etc...
I tried wifi fixer app, and you can see how many times it disconnects/reconnects even after disabling sleep etc

i have location with wifi on. it disconnects automatically only when i'm not in the range of a saved network. Then it will connect to this network and stay connected
Any one else have any theories on how to fix this?
I think the problem is with the "Use wireless networks" setting not taking any effect on the phone (I have it disabled).
Having wifi turned off, if I open some GPS app wifi will turn itself on automatically. I think it is because it searches for nearby APs to fix the location more quickly. The problem is that the location is not as exact as with pure GPS. When I quit the app wifi will turn off automatically. This happens even if I have unchecked the above system setting.
A workaround that worked for me was to disable wifi AFTER opening the app that uses GPS, and the location was more precise.
Note that I tried this with Google Maps and Sygic Mobile Maps, so it seems like a system-level bug rather than app bug.
Anybody has noticed the same behavior?
My wifi is very annoying.
Every few minutes while I use e.g. the internet browser the connection just dies.
It often happens during loading of a web page or updating in the weather app.
My solution so far is to tun wifi off and on again, then it will work for another few minutes before it suddenly hangs again.

I have exactly the same issue. Which network system do you use? My router supprts "n" standard, maybe that cause the issue?
I think I might have fixed it by first turning it on and then turning it off(wireless location that is). Never managed to open up Google Maps before without the phone enabling wifi as well.
EDIT: Oh, and I'm running the custom ROM from Modaco.

Tried it on stock ROM version JF3 and still the same issue.
Regarding MCR, I didn't see in the info on modaco forum anything related to this GPS issue, maybe Paul fixed something without knowing?

Why GPS issue? thought this thread is about Wi-Fi Internet connection issue?

Could be, but most importantly - Google Maps is finally usable again(for me at least)! Did you enable the "Use Wireless Networks" option and then open up google maps or did you just toggle it quickly?

WiFi connectivity problem after 2.2 update

Anyone else having problems connecting to wifi networks after Froyo update? Everything else works fine, I also did factory reset. But I can't connect to about 50% of Wi-Fi networks anymore, which definitely worked before with 2.1. Doesn't matter if open or encrypted, it says 'connecting' and then 'unsuccessful' or simply 'disconnected'. Hmmm! :-(

Have the same issue...
Swyped from my HTC Legend
From another thread.
1. Go into connection settings for your mobile network (not wifi), save settings without changing anything.
2. Restart your router and let your legend relocate it
3. Restart phone
I found these tips from google on related issues and it actually hepled my most immediate wifi problems, namely it spontaneously crapping out for no reason and could help yours as well.

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
mfg dennis
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 Not Working Correctly?

I tried searching and I have not found a solution yet. I'm running SHOstock-I with ktoonz kernel on android 4.4.2.
For some reason, my Wifi randomly disconnects from any currently connected wifi network. The first thing I try to do is to connect back to the wifi network (any available network), but it simply tries and says "Connection Failed". Next, I try to disable the wifi connectivity alltogether, but after I tap the toggle button it becomes "greyed-out" and I can't toggle it.. it just hangs. If I go back a step and then select wifi again, then I can try to disable it but the same thing just happens again.
If I reboot, then wifi works again.
Oddly enough, if I enable/disable teathering, then wifi starts to work again.
It seems I can't run Wifi for more than an hour without this issue happening. It seems to have just started doing this out of the blue. I suspect a full wipe would solve the issue but I'd rather not do that unless I have to. It usually takes me a while to get things back to normal after a wipe.
Any ideas?
Some solved the problem by unInstalling the Smart Wifi utility (for ATT and maybe other carriers too).

Thanks, but I don't have that app installed. I am positive this is not a router issue as well.
Everytime I wipe cache/delvik then the issue doesn't occur for a few days, which I think is odd. I also tried different kernels and the problem persisted.
Does anyone know if it's possible to confirm if this is a hardware issue? I doubt it...

It is a good idea to turn off any 'connection optimizer' or 'wifi optimizer' application or setting, in short anything that decides what connection is selected based on available connections should be turned off. The most probable reason for the problem is badly programmed software.
