I just picked up my iconia today. It worked great at work but when I got home and tried to connect to my wifi it wouldnt connect. I put in the password and it authenticates and then just says disabled. Any ideas?
i had this prob earlier, i "forgot" all networks i was on, shut down tab, and then restarted router..... restarted tab up and wifi worked fine.

Hi,
I've been a palm user for ages but now but i was trully missing wifi capabilities on my past units... Since my enfora wifi sled for treo died on me I made research for a new smartphone that would do wifi and I ended up picking htc hermes.
Everything works fine so far BUT WIFI(the sole reason i went for that unit).
First test : I have an old netgear wep and 802.11b only router at home used as a switch. Tried to get it to work with it with wep no go, without encryption no luck. Says connecting, then all of a sudden, the network becomes unavailable for few seconds and then pops back as avail... tries to connect again, unavail and this goes on forever...
Second test : there is a unencrypt wireless network detected, said to myself I would *try* it. Magic, it gets an ip and everything. I can connect to the AP with IE. I didnt tried to axs internet or do further, it was connected !
Third test: @work, Ive read on forums ppl had working wifi with WPA+tkip. At work I have a couple of linksys WAP54GX, so i did setup a WPA + TKIP wireless network. It worked the first day. I was pretty happy, finally wifi DID work. Could SSH to boxes browse internet everything was fine.
The day after, I decide to install opera mobile. It worked like a charm for an hour... then all of a sudden everything was slow as hell -> soft reset. To my suprise, the config that was working few mins ago wasnt working anymore... Now even the WPA+TKIP setup that was working few hours ago stopped working. Same deal, connecting... , then wireless network goes unavail, goes back avail and fails to connect.
Anyone experienced similar issues ? I doubt its HW related since it did work for a day... and i still can connect to the unsecure wifi from neighboors (that always worked). Is there any application or tools or simply logs I could dig in to figure out out what is going on ? I mean if it wont connect id like an error msg not the whole ap go unavail for 1 min then pops back like nothing.
Is there anything avail for troubleshooting wifi connections in windows mobile or we only have the M$ way of having no information whatsoever ?

Why is my WiFi connection option grayed out? Now I can not activate my WiFi. What caused this and how do I fix this? Thanks for any help you guys can give me on this problem.
bahardman.
you you have the hd2 pluged in to your pc ?
this will stop wifi from working.
Duh!!! that was the problem, thanks Grantzxr.
Ok I have gotten my WiFi connection solved, but now I can not connect to the internet through my WiFi.

I have been having exactly the same problem! Even when the HD2 is not connected to my laptop the Wi-Fi stops being greyed out but does not switch on. The only way is going to Settings - Menu - All Settings - Connections - Wi-Fi and then tick the Turn on Wi-Fi. Wait around a minute until it connects... sometimes
I have the original T-Mobile 1.43 Rom (got my mobile only last week) and on the first two days it worked fine when connecting to my home Wi-Fi. But suddenly it just started doing its own thing. Most of the time I have the Wi-Fi icon showing but if I try and go online I just get an error message asking me to "check my data connection and try again".
The only modification I made was installing some of the wonderfull .cabs tested and tried on the HD2 by tboy2000 and by smaberg. Amazingly, the only one that did not work properly was the Touch X reset and wifi.cab; the Reset was OK but the Wi-Fi Toggle didn't respond. I am going to try and reinstall.
aiwama, let me know if you got it solved, and I will do the same for you.

Well, reinstalled the .cab, but I think that was not the problem. When I press the Wi-Fi Toggle and wait for around 50 to 60 seconds it actually connects - for a while - and then freezes.
If I press the Wi-Fi Toggle again it disconnects from the Internet. I actually went back every single time to check Settings (Wi-Fi box would respond accordingly) and All Settings - Connections - Wi-Fi and (un)ticked Turn on Wi-Fi box. So, the Wi-Fi Toggle works fine. But there's the freezing thing that I don't know where it comes from!
aiwama, I simply shut my phone done completely and then turned it back on after a few seconds, tried it and it worked just fine and its been working ever since. Hope it works for you also.
I have updated my A500 to 3.1 and installed the wpa_supplicant that supports adhoc from 3.0. Wifi works fine and I can tether from my smartphone. But I noticed something odd whenever I unlock my A500 from sleep mode. It says "No Internet Connection" at the taskbar of the unlock screen and then immediately connects to a network. To test if my wifi is disconnecting whenever the screen was turned off, I logged into GrooVeIP and checked my status with another Gmail account logged into my PC. When the screen was on, the GrooVeIP account was logged in but a few minutes after the screen turns off it logs out. i check my A500 and sure enough it says "No Internet Connection" and GrooVeIP's icon is red and wifi immediately connects to a network and GrooVeIp is back on again. I restored the original wpa_supplicant for 3.1 and the same thing happens. Anyone else encounter this? I haven't found anything about a newer version of the wpa_supplicant with adhoc for the 3.1 and everyone seems to be using the same one from 3.0.
i have noticed some problems on mine too, mine will not connect to DHCP you have to manually enter the ip info. it's very odd, it was working perfect in 3.0.1
ps have you tried to set you policy to always on?

hahahaha... Now I feel completely and utterly stupid. My wifi policy was actually set to turn off during screen off. I didn't remember to check the setting after the update.
There a lot of suggested solutions for the problem you have. from deleting the dhcp lease file to deleting the networks you have saved then re entering them.
try this thread: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1138905&highlight=dhcp+problem
Has lots of solutions same to your problem.
And thanks a lot for the tip. You saved me a lot of headache.
Hi guys.
first my wifi became unreliable, it disconnected, didn´t reconnect sometimes etc...
now, it´s not working anymore at all.
when i go to wi-fi settings it says turning on, then the red arrow appears, then immediately it says turning off. down there comes a message "unable to scan for networks"
i searched the whole forum, but didn´t find a simlar problem.
i reseted it to factory, didn´t help.
it can´t be a router problem, ´cause all the other devices on the wifi work, even my friends myt4G.
any tricks or ideas anyone?
i got this form a friend in the states, bought last december, he ment, in the US they have mostly only 90 days warranty, in germany we got 2 years.. is this true..?
stock rom. 2.3
Try chaning the channel on your Wifi Router. Most of the new routers you can go to routerlogin.net from a computer that is connected to the router and change the settings. I had the same problem and it appeared all of my neighbors were using the same channels i was. I move to a different one and haven't had a problem since. It will not affect the SSID or the password So all of your login it stuff will stay the same. Any WAN connected device just might lose signal for a second or two while the router changes channels.
thx. channel was on auto. changed it to 11 out of 13. didn´t help. also, i have only 3 wifis in my neighbourhood, i can get with my pc. on the htc, it shows only mine + the direct neighbour..
it seems that wasn´t he prob here...
could it be a hardwareprob? anyone any knowhow on american warranty?
the wi-fi button is almost not responding anymore.. when i turn it off, it turns itself on again, when i go into wifi settings, ist keeps truning on and off again in an endless loop....
edit: tethering does also not work anymore. when i click on portable wif hotspot, it says error...
hardwarefailure?
i found these guys who have the same problems.

seems to be a gingerbreadissue... perhaps i´ll try downgrading first.
so i downgraded to 2.2.1 and it worked. got to bed, woke up, not working anymore "unable to scan for networks" again
I'm here because I have exhausted all other options beside returning the phone. This thing disconnects from my work's WIFI when the screen is off, but it mantains connection on other WIFI's. This has not happened to me with many other phones I've had while working here, just this one. Phone mantains a connection to WIFI while screen is on, then it shuts off when screen is off. I come home, connect to my home's WIFI and alas, it works screen off. I go to Burger King, no problem. I go the mall, public WIFI, no problem.
I am the sysadmin at my work. What gives?
Already reset the phone, already called Samsung (told me to return it for another one)... I've checked various settings... just want to see if I missed something, because it all points to an issue with my work's WIFI, but why don't I have that issue with any other phone except this one?
I just checked with another person's phone, and it mantained connection screen off. I'm stumped.
8/11/17: Samsung tech indicated to wipe cache. Wiped cache / data, reconnected to wifi at home no problem screen off, came to work and screen off disconnects wifi. Used a Samsung Galaxy Express Prime with no SIM card connected to work's WIFI and no problem screen off, connects beautifully and streams no problem. S8+ screen off simply disconnects from this particular WIFI. Can't receive notifications on any app while connected to work's wifi - again, can connect screen off to other wifi's. I have this other phone that can connect to my work's wifi no problem (as well as others at my workplace). Any advice?
You have WiFi set to always on? or on while charging?
It could be the access point you use at work, an incompatibility with Samsungs Wifi sleep configuration
Hello, thanks for answering!
Well, it's set to always. I have a Samsung Galaxy Express Prime also, and it has absolutely no problem connecting to my work's many AP's and maintaining a connection (I'm currently using it with no SIM card).
