Please help, ive had my hd2 for a few days now and have had nothing but problems, might just give it back!
It picks up my home router but simplify wont connect, it just displays a small rotating circle likes it working but nothings happening.
When i remove the settings and retype the key code it keeps saying incorrect code but it isnt,
Anyone any ideas, can i some how reset the wifi settings, its taken me a few days to customize the phone so i dont really want to do a hardwear reset. Ive already a software restset.
Bloody htc!
What protocal are you using on your router? WPA, WEP?
Oh if your using an older Belkin router, I know of about 3-4 models that used to have trouble with WinMo, an update Router flash fixes it though.
Give us some more info on your router etc and Im sure we can help though
Sure your using the right password/key? if it says its wrongs it is probably wrong lol. Maybe try changing it to a more basic password as a test? like "password" and see if it can get connect.

Hi
Calm down. Give some information about your router and the type of security You use.
try these
1. Reset the router once
2. If you use MAc access list on the router then add your device's MAC to the list.
3. If you use N router then in the settings untick N mode protection.
Give more details about the third party software on the hd2 using radios (eg: tomtom, igo,gpstuner like these)
Good luck
HI guys thanks for helping out.
Obvious first - yes the key code is correct i use it on my laptop and iphone.
security mode says WAP-PSK/WPA2-PSK. Its a siemens ive been on the ip server addres and cant see any issues, im on my laptop using the wifi now and its working perfet.
Ive tried everything, changing passwords, settings both on the router and on the phone.
The hd2 is full of really stupid bugs!
Try to hardreset the PPC.
If it won't work, try to update your ROM to the latest available.
If it doesn't want to work, then try to connect to another WiFi without password and see the connection is successful.
If it works with an unprotected WiFi, try to connect to a different router but with protected WiFi.
If it works, then there is a problem with your router and I suggest to update your router's firmware.
funny wifi
the problem wit my hd2 is most of the time it shows wifi connected but i cant surf the internet and sometimes out of the blues it connects to the internet,cant figure out wats happening....
HI kholk, thanks for the help, ill work my way through it and hopefully get it sorted!

Have you found the solution? I can help you my friend i had the same situation
I tried to connect yesterday my hd2 with my router. First it wasnt working aswell. Then i set the next things. Channel 9 (was auto), Encryption AES (was tkip and AES). Network mode is Mixed. Further have you installed Mac Filter? I installed this also. So if i have a connection thats it. I must fill in my macadres from my phone for i get fully connected.
Hi guys thanks all for you help call HTC UK support and their amazing advice was to do a full hard reset!
I really am having a lot of problems with this phone and i cant understand why their have been so many issues?!
Hi guys,
I have the same problem- HD2 shows it is connected, but no access to Internet(other- laptop, SE990 phone is connected and working OK)
For not to write about all, now situation is:
1. On router wrt54g2 temporary disabled wireless security, only mac filtering is on(laptop mac, SE mac, HD2 mac is allowed), router firmware is up to date
2.HD2 is like new after hard reset, no settings is done for connection to home network. HD2 wifi is on, looking for access points and connecting to only one available open network in my area- to my home network and shows it is connected but no access to Internet.
3. In router I can see all connected clients by mac. All 3(lap, SE, HD2) are connected. I use Network Magic software too but it is showing only my laptop and desktop are connected. SE is not connected according NM, but it is working OK.
P.S.
Do not know what else can help you in my problem(maybe some other router setting, but as other devices are connected without problems so maybe it is not important for now)
So only my HD2 can not access WWW
Can You guys help somehow please
I've got a similar problem with an HD2 over here. Wifi does switch on, but it just won't connect to my router. The cirkel that is supposed to show when connecting to a network doesn't show either. I'm using WPA2-AES security, and yes, i did use the proper network key. I haven't tried connecting to other networks/using an alternative encryption method because a lot of other devices will then have to be reconfigured and it's not my own place. My Touch HD and 2 laptop connect to the network without any problems. The only solution I came across until now is doing a hard reset, which I would rather not do... I'm using a stock dutch rom (V1.43). Is it possible that upgrading to the newer 1.48 will solve this problem?
Have you tried removing the wireless security password and trying again? Test to see if maybe you are indeed typing in the password wrong.
Also check your exception list on your router, it might be blocking any other devices coming in.
I have the same problem.. Get the spinning loading circle and thats it.. But if i turn my belkin wires g router running wpa2 off then straight back on again the phone connects fine. But if i then leave my house or disconnect from the network then try and reconnect it wont and have to do the same process again. Luckily im also running a speedtouch 585 modem router which the phone connects fine to.
hey maybe it takes only a WEP key and not WPA as most people have. this is certainly the case as mentioned in the Wifi router article below -
http://www.mobilityminded.com/5438/wi-fi-router-on-htc-hd2-application-overview
Again me
It seems that it is problem with my router. HD2 was able to connect to open wireless a.p. in my town and all sow to my friends router which is using WPA security. So my linksys is not compatible, or i will try some other settings on it, but as other router clients have no problems, i am loosing my hope to have my HD2 connected at home unless i change router. But then another problem- which router will be compatible with all my devices in prise range of 100$
And replying to blackheart2925 my friend is using wpa not wep, i do not know other settings on his router but it is not security problem.
One thing is strange for my HD2 shows it is connected, router shows mac of HD2 among connected clients, but only HD2 do not have access to internet

how are you connected to internet is it router which dials to isp or you have made a broadband dial up on your desk top ...
if you have dial up shortcut on desktop then you can not use internet via hd then change setting in router
better way is hard reset router and then reconnect hopefully it will solve your issue ..........

Router "dials" to my isp and share internet for all connected devices...
Yes, i am going to hard resset my router, but have not much hope i sucsess
PROB:
If your HD2 connects to router but you cannot enter any web site, do this:
SOLUTION:
enter your www router settings - wireless - access control - MAC Address Filtering Table ->>>>> add your HD2 MAC adress
enter your www router settings - firewall - access control ->>>>> add your HD2 MAC adress
so, you have to add your MAC adress of HD2 into router TWO TIMES into TWO PLACES!
I had the same problem and..... solved
I just bought a Rogers arc and everything is great so far, except the wifi. For whatever reason when i try to connect to my home network, although it recognizes it and connects i get a "limited connectivity" which effectively does not allow me to use wifi at all. ive tryed rebooting the phone and reseting my router (which is a D-link DI-524.) any help would be appreciated.
you could go in the router settings and register the phones mac address to a ip of your choice. it should do the trick i think...
I finally figured out what the problem was, i had to update the firmware on the router and then manually add the MAC address like dogggie said and after a reboot voila!
I don't want to make another thread since my problem is similar to this one. So in my school there is a hiden Wi-FI network and it has got a password, but we know Name and Password, so we can connect to Wi-Fi. But here is the thing: My friend who has SGS2 connect's without any problems, but everytime I try to connect to Wi-FI i get "Limited Connectivity" mesage. Is there any way to fix this? Can I somehow get Gateway and Netmask from router, so I can set static IP on my phone or sometheing like that?
Thanks for answers.

Zanimivo, na kero šolo hodš?
I have the same problem. Hidden Wi-Fi in school, limited connectivity. Works for some people, doesn't for most.
I have used CM7 for some time and the Wi-Fi worked with it, but I flashed the stock ROM back and now, again, it doesn't work.
Oo, another one form Slovenia Lep pozdrav. Šola je pa TŠC Kranj.
It also worked for me when I was testing Offical Beta ICS, but now I am back on stock 2.3.4 and all I can get is limited conectivity

Same school.
Today it works. I have just manual set gateway, DNS servers, netmask and my own IP.
Cool. Mind sharing the values you used?
I rooted and flashed my phone last night and everything was fine other than 1 thing. The Wi-Fi wouldn't connect on my home router. I tried several different roms and was left with the same problem where it was stuck on either obtaining ip address or authenticating. I then came into work this morning and the phone connected to my Wi-Fi network straight away.
Does anyone know how I can get around this problem, don't want to be using up all my data at home!
Thanks in advance
Dont get me wrong but did you try to restart the Router?

I second the other suggestion. Those symptoms sound like your router needs a restart if it hangs at getting IP/authenticating.
I'm having the same problem on the network at my university.
I'm having problems with my wifi as well. We have a network here at my office secured with WEP. My galaxy nexus connects to it just fine but my Nexus 4 refuses. It sees the network, show strong signal but it doesn't seem to connect. I did manage to get it to connect once and I downloaded some updates but then the connection dropped and will not reconnect. I've tried various advanced settings (forcing the network to 2.4GHz, changing the power options, etc... No joy. This is particularly frustrating for me as my micro sim has not yet arrived so WiFi is all I have Hopefully it will work at home. At least there I have access to the router so I can make changes if needed. So far not a fan though.
I've got WiFi problems here, too. Roaming between different WiFi networks (home and university) often results in an non functional WiFi connection. Experienced this problem with stock Android 4.2 on Nexus 4 and Galaxy Nexus and latest CM 10.1 nightly on Nexus 4. Even reboot doesn't help every time.
As workaround: If WiFi connection is broken, turn on "flight mode", wait a few seconds and turn it off again. Works for me, maybe it works for your problems too.
I literally just received my nexus 4, and I haven't done anything with the SIM card yet, I just wanted to get things going on WiFi to start. It sees the network I want, let's me type in the password, and lets me click connect. After that it does literally nothing. No thinking, no obtaining IP address, nothing. Any ideas?

I have exactly the same problem. Got the phone today and have tried several different access points - no luck. Restart the phone, no change.
Also, system updates screen said I could only download the update to 4.2 from a wifi connection till the 7th, so i set the date to the 7th and did the update successfully over the cell connection. Still no WiFi. Factory reset - no change.

Oh, also tried the flight mode "trick" with no success.

Your uni wifi probably is LEAP wifi or PEAP wifi, which is proven broken in Android 4.2

My university provides both LEAP and PEAP authentication. LEAP doesn't work for me either. But PEAP works. I'm able to connect via PEAP. (Stock 4.2 / 4.2.1 and CM 10.1)
Here is my log. It appears the authentication is timing out.
12-07 10:42:43.863: I/wpa_supplicant(19563): wlan0: Authentication with xx:xx:xx:xx:xx:xx timed out.
12-07 10:42:45.345: I/wpa_supplicant(19563): wlan0: Trying to associate with xx:xx:xx:xx:xx:xx (SSID='XXXXX' freq=2447 MHz)
12-07 10:42:45.385: I/wpa_supplicant(19563): wlan0: CTRL-EVENT-ASSOC-REJECT bssid=xx:xx:xx:xx:xx:xx status_code=1
12-07 10:42:55.346: I/wpa_supplicant(19563): wlan0: Authentication with xx:xx:xx:xx:xx:xx timed out.
All other devices do connect fine and I even restarted the AP to make sure.
This is getting very frustrating. I couldn't connect to wifi at work (WEP, I know...) at all yesterday. I went home, and my WPA2 network at home worked perfectly. I come in this morning and boom, I'm connected just fine to the wifi here at work (the connection was remembered from my tries yesterday). I went to lunch, came back, no wifi. Reboots, reconnections, nothing seems to work. I also have a Galaxy Nexus with 4.2.1 and it connects to the wifi just fine. Grumble grumble....
-Matt
I did a few tests today and it seems to be only when using WPA2 with a pre-shared key. WPA works, as do open AP's.

No solution with stock google image AFAIK, because google does not provide 4.1.2 image for Nexus 4. You can try other custom ROM or ask if some one has successful LEAP wifi story about running custom ROM.
BTW I don't own Nexus 4, I am stilling using Galaxy Nexus, as soon as I upgraded to 4.2 LEAP wifi broke, I flash 4.1.2 back then it works fine.
I found that upgrading the access point (MikroTik) to the latest version allows me to connect.
Seems something in this device does not like some older WPA2 versions?

My N4 has been connecting fine to my home router over the past two days. Suddenly, today, it stopped recognizing the network (shown as "not in range" in wifi settings). No amount of router or phone reboots would get it to connect. I read in another forum about going to Displays in the settings menu, scroll to bottom - Wireless Displays. Turn on and search for wireless displays, then turn off. I thought, wtf? Anyway, I tried this and it connected to wifi immediately. Maybe there's a bug in the wireless display function that's interfering with wifi.
I am actually having a similar issue as others here, but I have found another weird work-around. Basically, although the Nexus 4 see's my campus's network, no packets get transfered back and forth, and I am not even sure what is going on (The IP address, tho, is usually "unknown".) However, upon going to the campus's IT help today, they turned off mobile data, and it then seemed to connect fine over Wifi. Any idea what is going on here?
There is no "signing in" to the network at my university, it just connects and verifies your device's MAC address, so I don't think they are doing any fancy authentication. I was thinking about maybe flashing a different ROM and seeing if I get different results.
i got mine yesterday and it connects then stops connecting after a couple seconds

I get exactly the same issue in my office. I can connect to school open network, but after a few minutes it lost connection (while still showing connected). I got to wifi setting, it shows that there is only one wifi hotspot and i am connected to it. But actually there should be more than five hotspot! If i switch wifi off and back on it can detect all the networks and get connected again, but then it goes to the weird cycle over and over.
Strangely, if i stayed in another office, it is connected all the time. Seems like the signal problem in my office. But i got no problem in my office when i was using galaxy nexus.
I am driven crazy by this!
Hi,
Firstly I should introduce myself, my name is George, live in Essex and have a passion for cars and gadgets.
I've been roaming this forum since I had my first android device a HTC Hero and try and use search as much as possible rather than repeating other peoples problems but I am properly stuck with this one..
To be short,
Device Details:
Device: Google Nexus 4
Android Version: 4.2.1
Carrier: Orange (EE)
Problem: Portable hotspot is active and I can connect to it from various devices but there is no data pass through.
Solutions tried:
Changing the APN type to every possible solution mentioned (i.e consumer broadband etc)
Using both open and sercured sercurity on the hotspot
Connecting using everything from another phone to my Google Chromebook and all imbetween
I've read there has been mention of Orange blocking this but most people find this isn't the case and its usually fixed via the APN.
The only thing that looks slightly odd is that an ipconfig on my windows machine(s) shows 192.168.xxx.xxx yet the IP address displayed by my Nexus is 10.166.xxx.xxx and if I ping my Nexus's IP from my machine i do get a response.... (all when connected to the hotspot)
Even with a ip release/renew still picks up 192.168
So that is my issue....
I can't think of anything else bar a factory reset which i'd rather not do just yet so thought i'd ask here first I geuinely searched everywhere!
any help would be much appreciated....
Don't mean to bump this but if anyone could offer any advice it would be much appreciated!
Even if someone could just confirm they are using the Orange/EE network with the Nexus 4 and has it working?
Thank you!!
i'm also on orange (EE).
bummer. mine's not working either. i thought it was but i think i was connecting to my router's wifi instead.
i also tried bluetooth tethering but couldn't get that working at all.
A sort of "me too", here: I'm also an Orange (EE) customer who can't get WiFi (or Bluetooth) tethering to work. However, USB tethering works fine - just appears to install a RNDIS virtual Ethernet adapter, and then just works.
Using Wireshark, I noticed that DNS lookups (which use the phone as a DNS server/ proxy) actually work. However, SYNs for connections to hosts on the Internet go unanswered. I'm beginning to suspect that the phone just isn't forwarding packets from the WiFi interface to the cell interface (but no idea why)
As a sort of aside: I'm pretty sure this used to work on my Motorola Atrix via Orange.
Having the exact same problem, running CM10.1.
Have messed around with APN settings but does nothing, laptop connects phone and even shows as having internet access but trying to visit any site just times out.
I have tried the exact same hotspot configuration with a giffgaff (O2) sim card and it works fine, so it must be Orange!
Hi-
Just installed LineageOS 17.1 on my Moto G7. When I enable Hotspot, my phone loses mobile data altogether, and I can't get it back until I reboot. I can still ping google DNS servers (8.8.8.8). When I try to use Private DNS to dns.google, I get "couldn't connect". So, it seems like the hotspot is interfering with the phone's ability to resolve hostnames somehow.
Mobile data works fine all other times, and I spent a couple hours on the phone with my carrier, and there's nothing wrong on their end (phone also reports it's still connected to the LTE network).
Any help would be appreciated.
Thanks!
Update:
Just did the August 16 update -- no change. Here's some more information:
When hotspot has killed internet access on mobile data:
I cannot ping any hostname (I cannot ping websitename);
I can get DNS resolution (I can resolve websitename to 172.217.9.196);
I can ping 172.217.9.196;
BUT, I can't get my browser to load a webpage with 172.217.9.196 (on my phone; it works on my computer).
I also appear to be connected to the local cell towers -- just can't get access to their internet.
None of this goes away when hotspot is turned back off, although if I turn wifi on, I can get access to internet again.
Weird stuff -- especially the DNS resolution that works but doesn't allow me to load a page.
Actually, it looks like I am NOT getting DNS resolution for sites other than google. Instead, I get something about a Canonical name ....
