Hi All,
i switch wi-fi on and the phone find the access point and connect to it. But it doesn't navigate to the net or market or anything else. Otherwise if I use the 3G it works perfectly. Just try to initialize it twice. Same problem.
Some suggestions?

Hmmm, could be a multitude of different things. A few questions:
1 Are you rooted?
2 What security settings do you have on your router?
3 Have you ever been able to connect to the web thru your router?
Answer them and I will try to help.

Hi MrZak,
1) phone is not rooted, unboxed 16 hours ago;
3) I always use the router with a mac and a pc on windows xp
2) I do have some doubt about the router (it's a cisco linksys). Even iPad has several connection problem BUT, i tried a different router last night (3Com) and it doesn't work too while iPad works fine.
Firstly, update the phone from:
Settings / About Phone / System Software Updates
If that doesn't help, try a factory reset.
Also, when you go into your router settings is the phone showing up under devices?

It could be a simple IP problem. Try with static address and see if you can access your LAN and internet.

It doesn't work BUT... I tried with the 3com router this morning doing a simple "restore default" in browser web. It worked. I tried to do the same at home with the Cisco Linksys router and... it doesn't work. Could it be the router?

Can you please try to put a static address and ping it from the local network. Preferably ping it from a computer that is connected to the router via cable rather than wireless. If you can ping it, the problem is definately with the router. Also please check if you have MAC security enabled on the router. If you do, you'll have to add the DHD's MAC address to the table.
EDIT: Or you can try to install ping from the market and see if you can ping your router.

I installed the pinger from the market. Anything to ping. It states "WIFI network may block outgoing ping request". Simply WiFi on the phone doesn't work . Any suggestion?

Try connecting through an unsecured network like some coffee's hotspot and if it still doesn't work, it's faulty. Until then, it's more likely to be your network setup.
Edit: just read your previous posts again. You say that it worked with the 3Com router, so it's not a problem with the phone. Check the security settings on the Cisco router. Check if it's using AAA/RADIUS server, MAC table, etc. The fact that it connects but no traffic passes through is symptomatic to a security problem, not a hardware one.

I had exactly the same problem, turned out it was my bt hub, a quick restore to defaults on my hub sorted the problem out.

If it was me, I'd check to make sure you're broadcasting SSID on your router. For some reason, at least this is the way it is for me and I would be really baffled if it wasn't happening to everyone else as well, these android devices (I have an EVO and a GT), have a problem with connecting without it being able to see the SSID broadcast. All of my other devices (laptops, desktops, etc...) have absolutely no problems either way (broadcasting SSID or otherwise) connecting to my WiFi setup. Just the adndroid devices.
I had same problem not sure how i fixed it. But i reflashed everything like 1st time
I think it will b the modem file.
BUT check your wireless setting first

Its neva happened to me using wifi, are you using other things at the same time? PS3? PC? I know my xbox tends to disconnect if im downloading somthing on the pc

Having the same issue
I don't have to be downloading anything, the phone could just be sitting there and the WIFI disconnects even with a app like SKYPE running in the back ground. My current internet is 20 meg down with 4 meg up and of all the devices this is the only one that disconnects or has any kind of connection issues.
Happens about 10 times a day. So annoying

Yes, I get this with my PLAY.
No other devices have this problem in my house. Stable connection that is on all the time.
Really annoying in Rainbow 6, particulary since it doesn't seem to save your stats with you disconnect because of a Wi-Fi droput.
Also sometimes have problems when it comes out of sleep mode, have to turn off wifi, then on again on the PLAY.
Very annoying.
Could it be to do with the security settings on your routers? Mines set to WPA2 PSK with a 13 character password and its never dropped connection. Or could it be the make of your routers? Mines a Netgear router. If a few people post there setup maybe we can find a similarity between them and find out if it's the phone, router, setup or all of them that's the problem.

The distance you are to the router makes a big difference. I think the wifi receiver on the play is weaker then other devices.

Yes. I havent updated yet, I'm hoping that 2.3.3 will fix it.
It says I'm connected yet stops working. I have to turn off the wi-fi then turn it back on to get it working again.

I have the same security on mine. The router is wireless n from my provider. It ie a router modem in one.
I did back when I was on 2.3.2. It was so annoying. I could have 2 computers, an iPad, and my Play connected to the same router and only the Play would disconnect continually.
adb shove iPad2post.apk to /forum/thread
I have the same problem with 2.3.3 the wifi just keep disconnecting is really annoying. Does any one know if this is a bug or a real design or hardware problem that wont be fixed wit updates?
It's wifi range isn't as far reached as other devices.

Hello. I'm new to xda. I have problem with my Xperia X10i. When I try connect to a wi-fi network it take forever to get its ip adreses and i don't know if it succeeds or not because after that is say's connected with limited connectivity. I have searched the web and xda but nobody has a solution to this problem. I am running Android 2.3.3 updated through SEUS. Not rooted or anything. What can I do?
I had the same problem, so I feel your pain. Go into android market search wifi fix..if the app doesn't solve the problem,reset the router. Hope this helps.

The message you have entered is too short. Please lengthen your message to at least 10 characters.
the only issue i am having with wifi sense ive had this phone has been connecting to linksys wireless N routers. i have turned off N functionality of the router using b/g only but all the phone does is alternation between "scanning/disconnected" doesnt try to obtain IP address or anything. its only those routers i have issues with. belkin wireless N works fine (with N turned off of course)
I had a similar problem, I solved it with wifi fix, thanks.
If you updated your x10 through the SEUS...its probably problem on your wifi router..try to reset settings and power off your router..

Okay, so I'm trying to help a guy with his Xperia X10a. He doesn't have wifi working and does not a have an account for the phone so no 3G. He needs to download wifi fix, can he just download it on his computer and then tether it and sideload?
1.make sure that ur access point has internet access.
2.if there's no server then ask ur ISP about static IP & gateway
3.if there's a server..then ask if u can get a static IP
4.also try "forget" then reconnect and if the wifi with a password then it might be wrong
don't connect ur modem in bridge mode.......
Still not working
I have tried the wi-fi fix app and nothing changed. I have found a temporary solution in witch you use static ip on your phone. But this solution is just for home because in a pub or any free hotspot it still doesn't work. Now I have flashed CM7 to my x10 and the wi-fi seems to work a little bit better but not perfect. And the wi-fi range is also poor on X10 compared to a Iphone 3GS or even a Optimus Black.

Orginally yes poor range..don't compare to a s60 nokia phone
i think problem is your wi fi modem , try to setting your modem again ,
Go to setting >Wireless > Security
and
Select SSID: Modem Name
Network Authentication: Open
WEP Encryption: Enabled
Encryption Strength: 128
Current Network Key: 1 ( up to you )
Network Key 1: xxxxxxxx ( 13 characters ) and try again to connect
Just want to know who else on XDA has a similar problem to me on the Nexus 4.
Recently moved country and took my Nexus 4 with me, got a data plan, no problems there. I was also was given the stock router for my ISP (Movistar) when taking out my broadband contract and my Nexus 4 is the only device that won't connect to wifi.
So here's what happens:
1) Network can be seen on the Android 4.2.2 Wifi Settings
2) I can connect, either by WPS or by entering the password, and Nexus 4 shows connected with indicator
3) Indicator instead of being the standard blue is grey, which seems to be no internet connection. I can get some access but at very, very slow speeds (about 9kbps)
The Nexus 4 is the only device in my house with the issue, no problems on PCs, iPads, etc.
Google have acknowledged this is a bug and there is a fix which involves root, but I don't want to root at the moment. Google also say it'll be fixed in the next update, but they've said that and we've seen 4.2.1 and 4.2.2 come out in the meantime.
Google Support also sent me a rubbish response to my questions about when it'll be fixed, telling me what Wifi is and how to turn it on and off..
So just want to know, are you having the similar issues with certain routers on 4.2.2 (stock)? I know I'm not the only one but I couldn't find any other threads.
Thanks!
I started having this same issue man! care to show me whats the root needing fix?

There are a lot of fixes in the Android Development Section.
Typically this can be a DNS problem if your router is not correctly set up to relay DNS requests (windows/OSX tends to be a lil smarter about it if it can't get the appropriate response from the router).
You could try to set a DNS yourself such as google's public ( 8.8.4.4 and 8.8.8.8 ) in the advanced properties when you long press the SSID you're connected to and see if that allows for internet access. If it does, then maybe you just need to log into your router and correct the DNS info.
Thanks for the responses guys

Tried that I'm afraid :/ No luck. According to Google it is the fact "they have no drivers for that router" considering they will probably have a generic driver for the average user to connect whatever the router.
Sadly I've had to practically try everything to get it to work. Thanks so much for your response though!

Hi! It's an annoying issue, I'm currently tethering through Mac to get it to work. The root fix does work but drains battery life a lot more (instead of 0.5% per hour drain it's 5%). If you want to look I'll pass the link, but wouldn't recommend it.
Thanks!

See if you're able to do a traceroute from within android when connect to the router to see where it's failing.
Mine got fixed by changing the routers channel, weird cos' no other thing connected had a problem, not even my sister's nexus 4

Hi, tried this and have no problems. The only issue is it takes too long to complete, which is the 9kbps download issue I was having. I'll attach a screenshot of the traceroute if needed. Thanks for the reply, much appreciated!
And about changing routers, not possible at the moment. I've just moved abroad and have my old router somewhere too hard to find. Google are no help with this which is the problem, but if it persists in the next update I'll get a new router whatever the case.
It's strange since my iPad and all my other devices work with no problems!
Good luck, hope yours works now!

Yep it's a common problem I'm afraid which is obsolete in the eyes of Google and not a device defect...
Just to get an idea, what router models are you using? I'm on Movistar's stock router - ASL-2665 - common issue with this router. I've also heard big brand routers having similar problems, anyone got any problems with a particular router?

The Nexus is a great phone, just a few odd issues which hopefully will be fixed.
This issue is persistent but dependant on the router. For example, my extender works perfectly whilst the main router doesn't - let me know what your router model is and I'll check to see if this will be common for your router

Hi!
Taken a quick look and doesn't seem to be any problems with your router. What you can do is to purchase the device and test to see it works on WiFi.
If it works, you're good to go!
If not, try some troubleshooting, so change channels, IP address, or even just a reset of the router could work.
Still not working? You can try what I did and buy an extender, but that'll set you back a bit of money.
You could wait until this is fixed, which we don't know when yet, or if you can't fix it you have a return period on which you should get a refund from Google.
Let me know what you decide to do, personally I'd try it out since it's likely to work, but I would return if not. But the Nexus 4 is a great overall device for the price.
Hope this helps!

OP, have you checked to see if this is an issue with the wifi access point of your router, or actually a routing issue?
To do this, set up ftp services on your computer or phone and login from the other device and copy a file from one to the other. If the bandwidth is good, your problem isn't with wifi but rather a routing issue that can likely be addressed in its settings.

I'm about certain this is to do with the router itself and not a routing issue, this is a common nexus4-my router problem and various other models.
I've adjusted every setting possible in the router settings to no avail, and all of my other devices which include other android devices work perfectly.
Sadly it seems to lie with a Qualcomm driver from what I've seen, and hopefully Google can fix in the next update

If you don't bother to check if you have good throughput over your LAN, you'll never know whether this is a wifi issue or a routing issue.
Drivers talk to hardware, i.e. Your wifi chip. That is all local, and has nothing to do with the routing (Internet) part of your router. Without knowing where the actual issue lies, you're just guessing if a new wifi driver will help.

Sorry, you seem to have misunderstood me and you're obviously making the assumption that I haven't already checked for routing issues.
As I said, my Nexus 4 is the only device in my house with this problem, all others work perfectly. From what I've gathered from these issues, it lies within the drivers of the phone.
WiFi works perfectly on every other router I've used with my N4, it's only my home router with the problem. It's a Movistar default router and other users have the same problems with this router (the brand is fairly unknown).
And I'm definitely not guessing that it's a driver issue - I've had this problem for over a month, I've tried everything I can: changing router settings, resetting, etc. So I doubt this is a routing issue but more an issue with the device, and from what I've read on other forums, this could be down to a Qualcomm driver issue.
Thanks for your help anyway!

I am not assuming anything. Simple troubleshooting 101. You're not getting a decent Internet connection. Could be wifi or router. I merely offered a simple method for determining which one.
Don't know who you spoke with at Google, but first couple of support levels don't have the stones to try and solve these things. And while I have no doubt other folks with the same setup are also experiencing this issue and that Google has recorded this info, that doesn't mean that a workaround is impossible.
