Wifi Possibly broken

HI
last night i rooted my phone using the exploid x10 root apk, at first it worked fine and so i left is plugged in over night to transfer all my music onto my new sd card
but this morning it seems the wifi has broken
it connects to the network but will not send or receive data, so the browser says no connection, so does the market etc
i have reflashed its software 3 times even downgraded back to the R1, still no luck, its not even rooted and its broken
any1 had the same issue? i have searched the forum but the ppl with the sam issue have not been helped. please i dont want to spend $$ to get it fixed i have no job

Hi.
No problem with the wifi so far.This is strange.
Do you have warranty?
Sound stupid but did you try to reset your router?
If nothing is working you should go to the service.

yea i messed around with wifi router, nothing, i can browse the net on 3g wich is odd, but 3g is expensive so that cnt be the solution. bluetooth and 3g work obv but the wifi cannot connect itl connect to the wirelss just NO datac exchange?

There is someone with the same kind of problem but on an EVO 4g, but i really do not understand what they reply's mean. Maybe you do?

tried to search on google and came across a LOT of people having this same issue, on laptops, iphones, ipads, which lead to the conclusion that it may not be a wifi failure?

well it cant be a complete wifi failure kuz i used the dev menu and it says wlam enabled and scanning just no connection

thanks

+1 and so much more for all your help man
i managed to fix it, it wasnt my device as such it was my router, too so i fiddled around with both mainly giving my x10 a static ip and bam it worked, cheers!!

I too have a wifi problem, but it is quiet a different one and i have no idea how to solve it.
when I connect to wifi at home my router reboots, but there is no such problem when i connect to my office.
I tried reseting the router at home and still no use, once it got connected and when i started a download from the market the router again rebooted.
How can i solve this????

Tried diffrent encryptions? like WPA2 or WEP?
Maybe switch from G to N standard (or vise versa, if availible?)

see: en.wikipedia.org/wiki/IEEE_802.11#802.11g

The X10 doesn't support 802.11n

no one said that it did..
My router uses N and i still connect fine

Somebody told him to try to switch the router from b/g to n. That was the point of my post.
And your router obviously operates all 3 standards at once

wifi restart issues

hey guys well i used wildpuzzle v0.8,cm7 nightlies 8-11-14,rc1 and rc2 till now.And all with 4.1 hcdr kernel.(4.2 does not work on my wildfire i dunno why )
well the problem is that the wifi restarts itself all the time(with all those roms).for example i enable the wifi and it connects then i start downloading programs or surf on the web and the connection disappears in a few minutes and reconnects again and again.it makes me sick bcs of interrupting my downloads from the market . what is the reason of that problem and the solvation? thx a lot everyone who reads this and helps me...

maybe you can try static ip address replace obtained by router.

i tried it out too but nothing different as the result

Try my rom here : http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=976068
Maybe it will solve your problem. Wi-Fi TETHERING however doesn't work in this release. I am going to launch an update later on this evening.

Maybe disable wifi sleep will help ?

[probably solved] but [Q] Wifi drops off help!! Seriously!

Hi,
I have an irritating problem. When i'm surfing the internet, watching youtube or using the xda app (even more apps I guess) my phone just doesn't receive internet connection anymore. I have to turn my wifi off and on again to make it work for 5-15 minutes. If I don't use the internet for one hour or two it works normally for 5-15 minutes but then it also drops off. (my wifi is then still on, it has connection but doesn't receive anything). Maby it has to deal with the count of mb's i'm using... This only happens with me at home and since we have a new wifi router. But this only happens with my phone and not with my laptop or wii. So I hope this can be fixed. Do I have to change anything to my phone or to my wifi router?
Tnx in advance

Nobody faced this problem also?

I am having the same problem.Which firmware u using.
I am facing this problem in DDJP2 as well as DDJP4.

I'm using t-mobile's firmware: bojpc.
But I remembered I had the same issue a long time ago with a friend when I was using eclair...

i have the same prob in kirillos 6.1 and i think with every rom ive had from time to time

Maby it has to deal with the security settings of the router... with what kinda password ( wpa, wpa2 etc.) is your router protected?
Mine with: WPA/WPA2 PSK

It must be the router ... Try changing the wireless radio to b/g/n and if its already on b/g/n, try changing it to b/g..
Change the wireless channel of the router as well..

ok back from holiday i tried to fix my wifi router but i can't find b/g/n and wireless radio anywhere in the online settings...

Even in my phone, sometimes WiFi won't turn on. It tries for 5 minutes, the says "Wifi error". I have to again select to get it working.

i have this problem as well...
i'm quite sure, that the router is okay, because my laptop is in the same room and has no problems.
any solutions?

This problem is worse than ever right now! Wifi drops all the time to 5mbp/s i'm getting crazy!!!
Is there any possible way I can solve this without a factory reset? I'm starting to hate my phone...

even i had the same problem in all ROMs.
still couldn't find any solution

I like to warm it up again as I face the same problem with all roms I tryed. Are there no devs here who might be able to help?

Just a question to everyone with this problem: what kinda network are u trying to connect to (for example wpa or wpa2 etc...) And how's your internal memory? (mine is almost full...)

I also have same problems with samsung galaxy 3 on DDJP4. Router works well as laptop doesn't have this problem. i have disabled security, but this problem still persists. any solution???

My problem also started when I got a new ziggo router... I'll try to change the security and stuff when I've time (and I found my password and stuff). But you could try to (wanted to say randomly...) Change some preferences...

I now have ziggo 2 comming from kpn where everything worked perfect

[Q] Very slow wifi

Hi i have very slow wifi on my u8800. I use Aurora ICS 4.03 Version 1.6. I have wipe when I install the ROM. I tried to download wifianalyser from market and it isent finished after 10 min (500k file). If I send a 1 mb file with wifi file explore it takes 5-10 min. Anybody know what the problem is?

Having the same problem..
Tried to flash an older stock .35 kernel ROM, and then Aurora ICS, but did not help.. Wonder what the problem is.. Doe's not seem like other people have wifi issues..
Running Aurora ICS 1.11

Yeap, mine too extremely slow to a point that it says that the connection has timed out. Lets hope its an easy fix for dzo because I can understand the man works hard to keep the updates rolling day after day.

Testing wifi at my parents house, on a d-link DIR-615, and it works like a charm..
Wonder why it wont work on the other ones i have tried..

bcus our wifi card is a cheap piece of sheat
it doesnt work on all modems and even if it works its not fast at all

Slow wifi
Hi, is there any solution to the slow wifi problem yet? Also, my wifi doesnt always disconnect so its doesnt auto switch to 3G/HSPA when I leave the hostspot area. Its almost as if it stays conected even if the hotspot is not broadcasting. I read in on the forum somewhere there are files you can try restore too check if its better but I cant seem to find the post now.
Thanks

So the problem is: I have an android phone MOTOROLA FIRE XT530. I have got wifi , belkin router in my home , which i use to connect my laptop and cell phone to browse on internet!

BUT, on my phone, when i turn wifi 'ON' , the wifi works for 2-3 minutes then it automatically disconnects and then instantly reconnects itself! I dont really have problem with this thng but the other day i was upgrading my swype to swype beta and had to download this application but the app is too large sized that in the middle of the downloading my wifi went off thereby stopping the download(n sadly its non resumable). I am a huge fan of swype and have been using it for quite a while now. I want it upgraded at any cost!
I know this wifi turn on/off problem is faced by many but this is quite a headache nw! I have come to know about 'POWER SAVING MODE' n stuff, but sadly i can't even get to that menu coz i dont know how to!

Open app drawer>>Settings>>Wireless and Network>>Wi-Fi settings>>(now tap first soft key to see options)>>select advanced.
Now just tap on Wi-Fi sleep than tap on "Never"
Actually as the screen turns off wifi too turns off with that.
Hope it fixes your issue.

Try data reset. If that doesn't work, the issue is with router.

Sometimes I too have similar problem with my xperia. But the problem disappear after rebooting the phone and/or router.
I think it related to your phone's uptime. As the more the uptime, the memory tends to be fragmented and it has impact to wifi drivers (?).

it happens regardless of the never option

I think the issue is with wireless N and if you have a belking router it may be an issue ...dumb ur router down to only b/g and this should change the outcome

Guys hang on looks like a found a solution to this crap.
I carefully observed what happened when my wifi turned off automatically. My phone flashed a message "Get IP address fail, please check wifi password or wifi app status"..
I thought of making my wifi setting from dynamic to static. I used "ipconfig/all" in my cmd to get the details for setting up static ip. i rebooted both my phone and router. And bang!!! It has not been showing the problem now.! I've been using it for 10 minutes now at a stretch ( for the first time).. Am happy and hope that it doesnt recur. Will let u guys know , if the prob comes back!
