Hello people,
Two days ago I bought a Legend only to discover that it has some issues with Wi-Fi. Here's what I mean:
I did the initial setup fully, set up a Google account, Wi-Fi connection only. Weather and Mail (Imap, not Gmail) work perfectly with my home WLAN, but Market does not. What's even strange - I can only open .bg websites (I'm from Bulgaria) in the browser, but nothing else, not even google.com. Those two work just fine on a 3G connection, though.
I tried all sorts of tricks with my router (D-Link N in mixed-mode if it matters), but it was no good. Even set the phone to be in the Demilitarized zone so as to have no problems communicating on port 5228 as I read Market needs to use... still nothing.
Please, can anyone think of a way to solve this annoying problem?
May thanks in advance!
Did you try switching the router to only b/only g/only n mode?
My router is a D-Link DSDL 2740R N and I haven't problem.
Also the coverage is satisfactory.
Try changing your DNS settings, and check router's MTU. Although just guessing here...

Yes, switching the mode was the first thing I did - going to g/b did no good.
Like I said, I don't have troubles connecting now - just a very limitted access to websites and services.
And what DNS Settings? The ones on the router? But they are working perfectly with my two computers, it's the HTC Legend that has issues.

So, I just talked to the support desk of my ISP and they told me they had never heard of such a problem. According to the guy, everything should be working normally because they were not blocking any kind of traffic/ports.
Any ideas?
Im having some problems with the wi-fi connection. When it first conects, everything goes ok, but when I start to download anything, the connection just stops responding, even tough it looks like conected. What should I do?
I'm having the same problem and couldn't find the solution, did any solve the problem?
Wifi problem on MS2
After months of researching and suffering the pain I still have not got a full solution for my MS2. My wifi problem is that it connects well, great wifi speed on my home network. But after a couple of minutes there's no more internet access even though it shows that its connected. I chanced upon this link laptopmag.com/review/cell-phones/motorola-droid-2.aspx?page=4 where it had the same problem brought up. It had a solution/fix which I do not want to use though. Further information can be found on the droidforums link on that page. What I have been doing all along is the same as what the guys at laptopmag has been doing, just reconnect whenever internet is down. Irritating yeah, but don't really have any other option..
Hope someone does have a proper solution :X
In addition to the sporadic troubles loading some sites with Flash elements, we had a much more persistent problem maintaining Wi-Fi connectivity. On three different routers, the Droid 2 would connect and then, after a few minutes, would continue reporting that it was connected but stop downloading data. The solution to the problem, once you notice it, is to disconnect from the router then reconnect, but that is a huge hassle.
Our original Droid experienced the same Wi-Fi problem so many times that we eventually gave up and resolved to use 3G only. However, after searching through several Droid forums and finding dozens of posts from other users who experienced the same problem on first-gen Droids and Droid Xs, we found a possible solution that seems to have worked with the Droid 2. After we changed the settings on our 802.11n router from mixed mode to 802.11g only, we did not experience the problem again, though we had to operate all of our computers on the slower 802.11g speed, which is unacceptable.

I installed the BlurLess GB rom and the problem is now gone.
Btw, my router @ home is G only, so the solution posted did not apply for me.
I was wondering if anyone else have the same issue, I tried on my galaxys ,galaxy s2 and even on my galaxy tab 10.1 wifi could connect but there is no data transfer, I have tried this on several routers in my office but the result is same, is this a bug on android or hardware problem?
I have tried static IP, change many things but no chance, I even tried on different kernels but...

most likely your office has blocked access through mobile devices

But as I say in the first post blackberry and iphone can connect
Yes I have the same prob, goes steady for ten mins, then just stops receiving a network connection, but my desire is fine. My honeycomb tablet does the same thing, but just turning wifi on and off fixes it. This appears to need a full reboot then works perfect again for a while. I've only had this phone two hours and have noticed it so surely others have.

I too faced the similar problem in the beginning dude...later some where in the forum one user stated to reduce the security level of modem or router from WPA/WPA2 to WEP/AES...then it works flawless...i don't know whether it is a problem with android or hardware...but most of the router or modem is secured with higher level of security which could not be accessed by our SGS2..i hope this would be fixed by software update..

Its is most likely router specific problem as its not a general problem and the majority have no problem with the highest security level .

It seems to be a problem with just some devices as indicated by this thread: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1194635. For a high end smartphone worth £500, temperamental wifi is a problem i shouldn't have to put up with. My router has no problem with any other devices so it's clearly a fault with the phone.
Never had an issue with wifi and wpa / wpa2 on multiple hot spots and home. Try a factor reset and flash . On kf3 xeu

i have this problem try to set up data tranfer with this, is free and support galaxy s2 , just follow the steps and a messege will arribe with your data set up...
http://tweakker.com/wizard/step1
That tweaker site is for GPRS/3g connection, this thread is about WIFI connection, so it won't help.
I have wifi problems as well. It connects just fine when i first configured the network but it won't work back from standby, although it still looks connected it won't transfer any data. Today i noticed an extra detail, it would seem that an app that was connected was still working but anything else i started fresh (like openinng the browser to access a page) wouldn't work.
I also noticed it loosing connection once after using it continuously for around 15 minutes.
Still haven't tried changing the security settings on the router, but, i previously had an ipad2 (for a short time, then sold it because it's just an expensive toy) and it would display the same behaviour.
Before that, i had a Nexus S with the same router and it always worked flawlessly! No settings were changed in the router.
I'm going to try lowering the security to wpa or wep and test it later.
If it works it might be a problem with the router but it's also a problem with the device (phone/ipad).
EDIT: one more thing, when i first got the SGS2 it had an older rom (vodafone KE7 i think) and it worked flawlessly until i updated it to a newer version the next day. I can't be to sure this was the culprit because i didn't use it that much the day before and it was a fresh install so maybe the issue didn't have time to show up.
one of my friends has a captivate sgs he also has the same problem, seems to be an android bug, or maybe samsung, another issue on this phone is about the bluetooth , it can not discover my headset bluetooth (sony DR-BT50) I have tried galaxy s , galaxy s2 and galaxy tab 10.1 but none of them can discover the headphone seems my galaxy life is messed up
Well i had similar issues with my vibrant and even on my nexus one....i think it is android bug....but if u r using cm7 or miui...u can easily get rid of it...by going to wifi settings>>>>advanced settings>>>regulatory domain>>>>change it to 14 channels....
but my sgs2 doesnt have this prob so far....i used those settings on nexus one and vibrant....and it worked....
Hope this helps..

I din state anything like it is a general problem...and moreover i tried with my Cisco wifi and with belkin router i could not able establish connection with my sgs2 where as my iphone4 connects without any issues dude ...so i concluded that it could be a minor bug and can be resolved by software update ...

Surely it would be backwards compatible.
It should be meaningless if bluetooth 3 not support BT2.x many devices still using BT2.X, anyhow my laptop is bt2 but I can connect to my sgs or sgs2

My Glalaxy s 2 has the same problem. It was fine till i was on KF7 but things changed with KG6 now.
My SGSII connects fine to every WiFi I've tried to join (open and ones that I know the password for). That is at least 3 different models of D-Link routers, a few Belkin and others that I can't recall.
I don't count a connection until I can actually view the internet and live stream the radio and I have been on it for more than an hour (I was proving to an ipad & ipad2 users that there was nothing wrong with a WiFi router and it was their toys that kept on dropping the connection).
I am was using the E7 and now F3 stock ROMs.
I did have a problem for about half a day. It would say connected to the WiFi but I couldn't get to the internet. I had to switch off the WiFi and connect via data connection and then try again with the WiFi - sometimes it would work sometimes it didn't. The only thing I installed prior to the problem was the Twitter app (from the market). Once I uninstalled that app and rebooted the phone everything was working fine. I can't say for definite that it was the cause of the problem.
To the OP: since you are connected to the work's WiFi, could the problem with not seeing the internet be due to the Work using a proxy server. That is what my work has.

Well I have a router that was supplied by imagine.ie, its a Motorola router and they with-hold the password to change settings on the router, have you heard the like????
Anyway trying that twitter suggestion, maybe the sync function was causing intermitttent wifi problems
Edit: Scrap them not giving out passwords http://www.imagine.ie/wimax_hub_setup.html
After a few hours survey I could connect my phone to the wifi, but Im not sure if this method works for you, anyhow I will explain here check it on your phone and report back
-Downaload the application "wifi static" from the market and install
-turn your wifi on and then run the application
-in the application choose add configuration,a window will popup saying have found a wifi connection will ask you to set for this connection or no just accept
-exit the application and turn off wifi
-turn on wifi and try to connect to internet,if you can connect then you are done if you can not go to below
-go to wifi static and choose the configuration which is already set and change the DNS I changed DNS1 to 8.8.8.8 and DNS2 8.8.4.4
-reboot (maybe not neccessary but recommended to do)
-turn on wifi and connect to internet and check if you still can not then...
-wait for me for further study
First - Hi all, long time reader but this is the first time I've needed to start a thread - so sorry about my first post being a problem/Q!
I've not had my Nexus 4 long, but have got some pretty annoying Wi-Fi issues. I've searched for answers but it seems that people have different Wi-Fi problems and I just wanted to see whether my issue was a common one and, if so, is there a fix on the horizon?
My issue is that I can connect to some routers but not to others (work, home, most open networks)... when I connect it simply says "saved, secured with WPA/WPA2" but wont then connect.
Phones running stock 4.2.1 with franco kernel r28 and the things I have tried are:
Resetting routers
Assigning static IP address
Wi-Fi direct from my Nexus 7
Cleared cache from recovery
changed the Wi-Fi band from 'Auto' to 2.4Ghz and 5Ghz
Flashed new kernel
Very frustrating and because of my signal the lack of Wi-Fi has made me go back to my old phone while I wait for a fix... which connects perfectly to the networks (S3 running CM 10.1)
Is this a 4.2.1 issue - as seems to be the consensus with other Wi-Fi issues or possibly a hardware issue?
Thanks for any info!
There's one fix you've not tried which might work for you (it didn't for me). You would have to be rooted though, which is going to system/etc/dhcpcd and changing the permission on dhcpcd-run-hooks to read and execute from "others". This help some people out but turns out for me that my router isn't compatible with my phone. (DSL-2780).
I've noticed that some of the mobile devices(eg iPhone 3gs, SGS2) are quite sensitive to wireless channel which your router/ap broadcast on.
Try manually switch to channel 6 or 8 that solved my issue - I don't believe in incompatible routers usually problems are related to config.
It is more complicated with an access to the public WiFi as you can not modify the setup.

Just to update.
I've now tried this and still can't connect to the affected Wi-Fi networks, probably going to have to wait for 4.2.2 to see if that fixes it...
I had troubles connecting to my wifi network here in my house, which worked pretty good with my galaxy nexus, what i did and worked was deactivating the option "avoid poor connections" in wifi advanced settings, you should give this a try
Fixed it for me

Thanks Chad, it was driving me crazy the constant data drops I had when trying to listen to streamed audio in XiiaLive Pro. Which worked flawlessly with my old HTC Desire.
Did as you said, and perfect now.

I too have wifi issues with my N4. We have several phones at home - an HTC Aria and believe it or not the SGS1, SGS2 and SGS3!
All of them connect with no problems. My brand new N4 will see the router but refuses to connect until I toggle wifi on/of serveral times in succession, sometimes 6-8 times!
I have avoid poor wifi disabled but it does not help
I really hope El Goog fixes this asap as it is very frustrating.
I've had this issue forever. Android phones hate low or overcrowded signal. Though my nexus 7 always works fine. Makes me think it is the lack of WiFi antenna strength

Nope, i have a 4.2.2 and its same think
i have a problem in my nexus 4 wifi ... it don't connect automatically to wifi network ,, i have to turn wifi off and turn it on to connect !!! any solution ??
This issue has been posted several times. I have searched most threads but didnt get right answer. I have a Samsung Galaxy S2 and Google nexus 7. I could connect both at home and at work to wifi and then to network. But for the last 1 week I am unable to connect to internet at home. There isnt such problem with laptop and Ipad at home. I had this problem with my galaxy s2 in the past, when it was only android device at home. I didnt give much attention at that time as it used to sort itself on its own. I mean to say though the network connectivity behaviour is erratic it didnt bother me much as I have other devices to use to connect to internet. I am posting this now to highlight this problem with android and some great soul will sort this out forever. I dont think it is a problem with router as this happened to several people with different brands of routers. As suggested by somebody, I have tried the Wifi fixer app, with no success. My galaxy S2 is not modified, but nexus 7 is rooted.
I had the same problem. I fixed it by setting my router to only do B/G instead of B/G/N. This means I can only get max 54kps, but so what. I was only getting a bit better than that before.
Hope this helps!

It takes two to Tango.
I had the symptom you describe on a 3 year old Android phone, while with the same router, no problem with Macs, Windows PCs, and iPod Touch devices. The Android phone could associate and authenticate ("connect") to the router, but it would never get an IP address via DHCP.
What was the solution? I updated (flashed) new firmware to the router.
Interop problems happen all the time with WiFi gear; it's unfortunate but true. I mention the above example because the symptoms seemed to point to the Android device as being the "trouble", and yet the fix involved changing software on the router side of things. And that's entirely the point - when bugs occur, they occur between TWO software stacks. Router firmware can have "latent" bugs that require client devices to deviate just a little bit before they occur, and the same thing is also true with the software stack on the Android device.
In general, you have more knobs to fiddle with on the router than you will have on the Android phone/tablet, and the more variable the behavior of the router is, the more likely bug expression between the two software/hardware stacks becomes. So - as with the suggestion of the above respondent - if you want to experiment, try turning off non-essential features on the router such as multiband, proprietary channel bonding or "turbo" modes, beacon suppression, etc. Simplify things and see if the problem disappears.
good luck
thank you
