Anyone experiencing the endless loop WiFi situation, here is the solution from Acer level 2 support.
The resolution is to do 2 hardware resets in a row. While the tablet is on, and you are at the homepage, use a paperclip and push it into the hole under the full sized USB socket to reset the tablet. Allow the tablet to boot up and when it is completely restarted and you are back at the homepage press the reset button one more time.
When the tablet comes back up again you will have WiFi again and you should not have any problems going forward.
BTW, this has only been tested and verified on a STOCK tablet.
I have stock 100%. This did not work for me nor several others.

I'm trying this right now as this problem just reared its ugly head... I'm not exactly stock, but I'm back to a stock Acer ROM after dabbles with VirtuousGalaxy (loved it) originally in hopes of getting the official OTA update. I'm so mad too, cuz I was just about to finally buy Titanium Backup so that I could play with ROMs more easily and not have to reinstall 100+ apps one-by-one...
Luckily, I took so long to ramble that all out that I'm almost done with both resets...
Survey says... no go... it's still just looping from Obtaining IP Address back to reconnecting, and I've tried connecting to multiple networks, even a mobile hotspot, even totally reconfiguring my router and to no avail... amazing how useless this thing becomes once it's severed from the net.
What the hell i have the same issue. This morning perfect tablet. This afternoon while at work turned into a POS...
Question?
If i hit the reset button do i loose all apps and stuff? I really dont want to loose anything since i have SOOO many apps I cant get back for free (amazon) and or all the 4-5 weeks of game play... yes constant game play including my kids.
update...just googled and YEP loose it all. Looking for other solution. WTF... Soo pissed right now

You are mixing up a factory reset with the normal hardware reset.
The hardware reset by using the reset "button" on the bottom right of the tablet just reboots the hardware, very much like the reset button on a standard PC. Your apps and data will not be touched.
if you could get hold of the .40 update, it contains a file called fixwifi which could possibly help you.
Or, if you are rooted,
- Switch off wifi in the settings.
- open a shell and remove those two files:
$ su
#rm /data/misc/dhcp/dhcpcd-wlan0.lease
#rm /data/misc/dhcp/dhcpcd-wlan0.pid
- and switch wifi on again.
It might help. :-/
why dont you just root and back up your games and apps with titanium...than un-root it...
why not

To be honest I have lost all faith in my rooting ability. See above post on why.
Would love to get back into rooting things (MT Slide, MT4G, A500) but knowing my past experiences i would mess things up so bad its not save able. I was out of a phone for a week and had to pay someone to fix it. I dont think i can go through that again
Update: Cool it worked I had to turn off the lock screen first and after 6 resets I still have everything. Thank you for your patience and time.

So weird to see this thread... I had this exact problem last night. I did a wipe and reinstall,and everything fixed itself. I'm glad you posted this because I figured it was a software problem. I'll give it a shot the next time it happens.
i Can confirm this worked after the second reset.... rooted using virtuous Picasso 1.0.8
All I have to do is forget the network and then just connect again...works every time for me

I ran into the wifi scanning loop a couple of days ago.
It seems a bit extreme to go the hardware reset route.
I suspect most of us following the dev forum are already rooted and can do something similar to what I did.
I poked around with root explorer, blew out the dhcpd files, and hot booted.
Wifi is fine now.

rebooting isn't necessary if you turn off wifi before deleting the files. in the process list there are two dhcp related processes
$ ps | grep dhcp
root 177 2 0 0 ffffffff 00000000 S dhcp_sysioc
dhcp 22869 1 900 444 ffffffff 00000000 S /system/bin/dhcpcd
i guess the dhcp_sysioc is controlled by android and that process in turn starts and stops the unix dhcp process. both are stopped when wifi is switched off in the settings.
when it's stopped the dhcp files are left. so either the dhcpcd process is killed with -9 or it doesn't handle the signal properly...
Hardware rebooting twice worked for me. I am running Picaso version 1.1.0 HC3.1
Thanks for all the suggestions everyone!

I have tried this out on 2 machines we have an it has worked and I have not looked back since. I don't understand why someone with a stock unit would have an issue but you never know.
I just got this tablet yesterday. I flashed Acer_A500_4.010.22_COM_GEN1 from http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1159443.
Last night and today WiFi worked great. Today out of nowhere I cannot connect to WiFi. It loops from obtaining IP address to reconnecting etc.
I tried to 2x reset method, this did not work.
I did root last night, but i didn't install terminal emulator or root explorer yet. dammit. so i'll have to get the APK's from my phone and put them plug the tablet into my desktop to get them.
Hopefully manually deleting the dhcp file fixes it.
I would really love the latest OTA that fixes the wifi issue
EDIT:
I got term.apk and pushed it, ran it, manually deleted the 2 files as mentioned, all working...for now.

Just looking back through previous threads of yours. You have run RUU and everything havn't you?
I am at a loss if you have done the RUU and still get no data.
idk what the hell is the problem i ran the ruu back to stock internet is fine i rooted internet still fine flash recovery internet fine install rom internet dead lol
Yeah, thats really odd. Do you have any Root apps installed? Other than maybe WiFi Tether. DroidWall? App manager? anything that could be killing or blocking 3G?
i had droid wall just uninstalled and rebooted i also have overclock widget does that effect it? shouldnt right?
Droid Wall definetly woudl break internet. Maybe it left some stuff behind on the uninstall? A setting or something? Apps2SD is on, it may still have stuff on the SD card. You could try to format it again since you cant actually see that partition...long shot though.
Does the Over Clock widget work? See a difference?
it was droid wall you my friend are the ****! (in a good way of course) lol
might sound stupid but yea overclock does feel like it really work lol. going thru the menu seems so much faster! and when your not using the phone you dial it all the way down, and it really saves the batter
Android 200456, Karl +1 SCORE!
Glad you got it fixed.
people at work are going to hate me lol, i had a customer come in and he was like =O ill pay you lol.i might have to do a side business lol
tethering doesnt work for me on 0.7 =/ it says start tethering stays there then it says su request but it doesnt let me hit always allow because the options dont even show up =/
You should have a Super USer Permisions app in the app drawer. See if the permisions for the app are in there. If they are, long press and delete them. If not, you may have to get the APK for the latest build and push it. Make sure that you Allow all, its the only way mine works at least, otherwise i dont get access.
sorry the reply took so long I didnt get an email that you posted back.
The only thing I have done to this phone is root.
My phone several times today has had it's screen blacked out and cannot be awoken or used because all buttons on the phone become unresponsive. However, I know the phone is still working because it still receives notifications and I can hear it.
I have to take out the battery to fix this. Has happened about 5 times today.
Anyone else with this issue?
That certainly isn't normal. I would return it.
Also noticed that when using adb that it kicks my phone out after a certain time... something like 1 minute. Does this happen to anyone else?
I often have to do adb kill-server in order to see my device again.
I too have the same problem (though less frequently).
I have a rooted Epic using Joey Krim's method (raidagainstthecage-arm5.bin). I attributed it to the Overclock Widget which I have uninstalled to see if it gets any better. I like that widget for throttling down the CPU while the screen is off.
I guess it is best to start collecting data on this.
Phone was purchased at BestBuy.
Hardware version: D700.0.5
Anyone else seeing similar behavior? How about on a non-rooted Epic?
I was running SetCPU but uninstall the application and it was still happening to me. I have a feeling it has to do with the root method. My girlfriend's phone doesn't have root and it hasn't happened to her at all.
@jspielberg did you root via the one click method or manually with adb?
I rooted via adb.
Other root required apps installed:
Titanium Backup
Wireless-Tether Experimental (adhoc mode only working currently on the Epic it looks like)
Overclock Widget (now removed)
I think that is it for SU needed apps.
jspielburg did you use OS X by any chance to do your root? Couldn't get this thing to connect on windows so used my mac to root.
This happened to me not 30 minutes ago. And I'm 100% sure its root.

Very odd. I have not had a single issue with a blackout, or unresponsive buttons after I rooted 11am yesturday. Then again, I removed most of the sprint bloatware, and removed more useless crap from startup. All the rooted app's are working as expected.

Yeah everything is working fine. But I went to pick up the phone to make a call and it was dead. Complete blackout screen, not lights. Nothing.
@Fixter that happened to me too.
Everyone having this problem please state how you rooted. I have a feeling the EPIC doesn't like being on ADB through OS X or 64-bit OS's apparently.
I rooted Tuesday morning using Windows 7 32 bit mode, ran cmd as Administrator and followed Joeykrim's manual instructions.
I have had no problems with the screen being able to be turned back on and I have been on my phone performing various tasks for hours at a time.

Wow, after doing a full reset without root I am not seeing problems yet but this post makes me worried that it's not just related to root or unrelated to root at all.
I did a full reset through the menu on the phone, I haven't tried doing one through the holding volume down while booting method but I will after work
ok creepy. I had root access this morning. Everything was fine...
I rebooted my xoom recently to check out a new boot animation, and now I've lost root. Every root-required app I open says I've lost root!
Still running 3.0.1 ... so it didn't install any OTA that I know of. I didn't accept any OTA's anyways
This is on the WIFI Xoom 3.0.1 with Tiaman 1.3.2. Anyone seen this happen before where you just randomly lose root? I've rebooted 3 more times.... still nothing. What the hell?
EDIT: Things I've changed since this morning when I had root:
- new boot animation zip file - no troubles there
- installed CircleLauncher widget ...
- usual browsing, checking emails, gtalk, tweetdeck etc...
ok weird as hell. I think my SuperUser was broken.
Ran the following commands and root is back. Rebooting now to see if it stuck...
adb remount
adb push su /system/bin/
adb shell ln –s /system/bin/su /system/xbin/su
adb shell chmod 4755 /system/bin/su
adb push Superuser.apk /system/app/
guess nobody has a similar issue. odd indeed.
I'm back together being rooted and now all of a sudden my battery indicator light works as intended (white while charging, green when full)
still have the same version and all. feels like an update was somehow pushed though.
For sure a great story...
Sent from my Xoom the way it should be, rooted and with SD card.
Glad you got SU back,,,and wish I could help, but you would know if a update was pushed as it would come across your screen and you would be notified. Just sorry that the many people on sites like these have the knowledge to help but they would rather sit back and flame about how much they know and others dont.
Anyway keep the adb commands handy or use the one click method it worked for me on more than a couple of occasions with a few tweaks of mine.

Hi All,
Every time I press the power switch off at the back to turn off - I get a partial system wipe.
I installed one or two apps then started having issues turned off and on again and working fine. Installed a few more apps - then issues now everytime I power off with the power button I get the first few apps and lose everything else.
I have tried a reset to factory defaults but that leaves the few apps on ( LinkedIn, DroidIn and Facebook).
I am also left with my Hotmail (ActiveSync) still syncing.
Any suggestions would be appreciated.
I am in Ireland using a 3G & WiFi and on Androind 3.0.1 out of the box.
Thanks

I tried uninstalling the apps before the wipe and leaving on before the wipe.
Bizarrely I remove all my music (through Windows) and even that is restored?

I usually don't suggest this as I'm with bwcorvus about using the opportunity to learn, but as you are on an EU model (I'm assuming) with 3G, you might be better off with an exchange. Something is definitely not right and it's so new...you didn't even have time to break it yet!

I'm pretty sure this is a hardware issue... I have been having this problem myself, and have tried flashing many of ROM and Radio's since it has reared it's ugly head - all to no avail. The WiFi an Bluetooth do share the same Broadcom chip... maybe there's enough of us experiencing the problem that we can collaboratively order a dozen of these things (they only seem to sell in bulk).
Had the same issue, ATT had to replace the phone.
Any more news on this issue?
Same thing happened to my Atrix last week (Bell, 2.3.6, locked bootloader, unrooted).
Same here
Same problem on my original Atrix, which was replaced under warranty by AT&T six months ago. Recently my replacement Atrix has been having the same problem. Wifi won't enable and frequent reboots.
Although the phone should still be under the 1-year warranty, AT&T refuses to honor it because the screen is cracked (so much for Gorilla glass).
After getting two phones with the same problem, and hearing about countless others having the same problem, and getting screwed out of the warranty, this is definitely my last Motorola phone.
EDIT:
The "fix" that was originally posted here doesn't actually work. I'm almost certain that this is a hardware problem. As of now there is no software fix, if one even exists.
Check this thread for more info:
https://forums.motorola.com/posts/0c2f1387d6
I recommend that you post to acknowledge you have the same problem.
i tried the script and it tells me "oops... did NOT find wpa_supplicant.conf! any help?
cafe. said:
I found a permanent solution to the problem. It was probably more obvious than I originally thought it would be. This is probably what will fix it if you recently ran some sort of 3G tweak as it probably damaged/corrupted /data/misc/wifi/wpa_supplicant.conf. Before I get started with what what problems my phone was having:
-'Wifi Error' message when enabled
-Random reboots when trying to enable wifi
-Bluetooth worked fine (and if you are having issues with bluetooth it may be due to a similar bluetooth related file having problems)
-Impossible to fix by flashing new roms, wiping/factory reset, and virtually every other possible thing I tried
So, just before giving up, I found something called 3Gturbocharger--which can be downloaded from here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=18703418&postcount=5021 REMEMBER: IT'S 3GTURBOCHARGER, NOT ANY OF THE OTHER SIMILARLY NAMED FILES.
Now, the value of the script isn't really in the "tweaks" it provides, but rather the easy way it provides to reset the file of interest (/data/misc/wifi/wpa_supplicant.conf). Run the script using "script manager" as root, once you've done this you'll be able to run a feature within the script called Wi-fixer. Run it and reboot. The problems should all be corrected. You could also try to manually navigate to 'data/misc/wifi/wpa_supplicant.conf' and simply rename it to whatever you want (as the script does), at which point the old file will be replaced by a newly generated one.
I'm assuming that in your case the bluetooth equivalent of "wpa_supplicant.conf" was corrupted. Possibly /data/misc/bluetooth/dynamic_auto_pairing.conf or /data/misc/bluetooth/incoming_connection.conf. Worth a shot trying the method I described on those files as well. Try it out, you've got nothing to lose.

im getting that to
My Atrix wifi stopped working in the past, but started working again. It currently stopped working once more, giving me an Error if I turn it on. The Bluetooth has never had issues and still works, I am a month past warranty but with unlocked BL it doesn't matter anyway. This seems to be a slight issue with these phones unfortunately.
I could live with the phone without wifi, but the constant reboots are unavoidable. I notice that when I originally boot the phone, if I use it and keep the screen on it works, but as soon as I turn the screen off, it reboots. Odd to me.
Ya I have the Bell Atrix myself and I'm still on Froyo because of complaints of GB. (especially battery life) Maybe I'll do ICS, but I'll wait for some reviews since its not that easy to go backwards as say my OG SGS...

Now, the value of the script isn't really in the "tweaks" it provides, but rather the easy way it provides to reset the file of interest (/data/misc/wifi/wpa_supplicant.conf). Run the script using "script manager" as root, once you've done this you'll be able to run a feature within the script called Wi-fixer. Run it and reboot. The problems should all be corrected. You could also try to manually navigate to 'data/misc/wifi/wpa_supplicant.conf' and simply rename it to whatever you want (as the script does), at which point the old file will be replaced by a newly generated one.
