Unstable wifi

My u8800 has a pretty unstable wifi. It looses the conection several times during connection. This is particurlarly annoyng when using the phone as a powerpoint remote over wifi and the conection breaks. Is there a death-grip on it? Or is it a software bug?

I read about Blade Wifi Fix so installed today from market. I haven't been home much so not sure how it's going. It might be worth a look. Let us know if you try it.

Hello !
Well depending on what rom, if your using B133 which is possible. I recommend you upgrade to either B136 or B160 which doesn't do this.

Didnt find any wifi fix for blade in marked? Can you giive me a link?

I have b33. There isnt any ota update aviable. Only one that restores the phone back to factory settings. Huawei says that I must use backupsoftware from marked. Isnt there easier solution for this?

I've updated to B136 and still have pretty awful wifi, disconnects all the time and doesn't reconnect despite my connection being remembered. Usually displays as 'disabled' when I check the settings.
I'm thinking of getting another handset it's so bad

I tried to setup 802.11n only for my wireless router at home. It's very stable and never breaks. I once setup 802.11g only, i experienced disconnection about twice an hour.

Yes, I'd been thinking that it might actually be more to do with my router as it's an old Netgear DG834v2. Will have a play this evening

Cannot connect to Wifi hidden SSID!
Hi there!
Huawei X5 - U8800
Android ver. 2.2.1
Kernel ver. 2.6.32.9-per
[email protected]#1
Build: B160
There is no chance to connect to Wifi hidden SSID!
I tried with previous builds also (B136).
EAP method: PEAP auth
Phase 2 auth: MSCHAPV2
Anyone knows this problem yet?
Any solutions?
Brgds,
S.

Unhide the SSID... If is the Desire HD there is an "issue" with froyo + Hidden SSID's... found out after having 3 days of the same problem, did some digging and found it doesn't like the Hidden SSID.
The other option is using a program like WiFi Connector which forces a connection to a Hidden SSID, not tried it myself but apparently is works.

Thanks for the info. I cannot "unhide" it because it is a company hidden SSID
I will try this Wifi Connector ...but i tried some other apps before without success
Any other thoughts ?
Brgds,
S.

Unfortunately it doesn't work either with Wifi connector

Any known custom ROM with this bug fixed?

I've only got g&b as options, wonder if I need to upgrade my router to and b,g and n compatible?

Yes, I guess you'd better upgrade your wireless router coz 802.11n is way better in terms of stability and signal strength.

I personally don't think this is a bug indeed. It comes to the same problem for some USB wireless clients in the market.
I suggest that you can solve this problem by choosing "Add Wi-Fi Netword" manually. This option is at the bottom of the list. After pressing it, you'll be asked to input the SSID as well as the encryption (WEP, WPA2, ... etc). Provided that you input them correctly, you should be able to connect to that specific SSID.

Hi there!
I know how to mannualy add SSID and enc. settings... it's not problem in setting tough but in software version of Android i guess. When i set Phase 2 Auth to: MSCHAPv2 or whatever ... after i am getting back into settings Phase 2 Auth is set back to: NONE
I'am stuck ...

I guess you need to ask your IT colleagues if they have enforced additional security in their wifi setup like MAC address allow list and limited DHCP.

[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???

Thanks to the FAQ by antony.ps
antony.ps said:
8) Can't connect to my wireless network.
- Tap and hold the SSID of the network and select Forget
13) How can I make GPS work better (be more fast and precise)?
- Make a backup of your /etc/gps.conf (use a file manager to rename or copy to another place)
- Visit this thread
- Click in the link "XDA Members Click Here" at the final of the post, and search for the correct .zip for your country
- Copy the .zip to your SD Card and reboot in Bootmenu, then flash the zip via Custom Recovery

not working in Brazil with Cm7 rom ported from defy

On my UK 2.2.2 android there is no /system/etc/gps.conf file. Maybe this GPS fix is only for HTC phones.

In MIUI, I have the file in

Wifi problems with 802.11 N + PEAP Authentication
Hi folks!
Here in my university we have a Network called Eduroam (www.eduroam.org , probably you've already heard about it).
The Hotspots are N capable, so my phone, if connected, shows a speed of 65 Mbps. For the authentication, we use MSCHAP v2. So far, so good...
Now to the things I experienced: @ home, where I use a 802.11g network, everything seems to be ok.
Here in the university it's not. Sometimes it needs a really long time to connect to the network, and sometimes it drops the connection just shortly after. Switching off and on again speeds up the process a lot.
But now to the worst part: Often, the connection is shown as established ('Connected'), but in reality there is no connection: No mail connection, no HTTP connection, ping doesn't go through... nothing. Even it shows it is still connected.
Now I am not sure if this issue is caused by the autentication or the N Network , but I can say two things for sure:
1. My laptop, when connected to the same network with the same parameters works fine.
2. It has been working fine up to the transition from Android 2.3.5 to 2.3.7.
I'm running cm7-20111021-NIGHTLY-Milestone2-ICS-pre_stable-v1.5 on a A953, but was also experiencing those issues on builds before that one.
I'd have loved to post this into the developement thread, because I have already seen someone describing a simmilar issue (less detailed unfortunately), but I can't due to the 10 posts minimum rule.
Best regards and thanks for that great port, Endless !

Probably you can try switching off the N network from your phone. Force it to connect through G.
This post might help you.

It basically disables n network from Milestone 2
You can give it a shot.

I delete all my wifi connections, reboot the cell and work all good..

Hi everyone,
yesterday I was it my friend and tried to connect to his access point. He has b/g AP with WPA2 password protection & DHCP enabled. But when I tried to connect it kicked me off in authetication state and tried to connect again - but without success. I tried to disable and enable wifi, deleting saved connection, but nothing of this helped me.
I'm using CM7 - does anyone have similiar or same problem - connecting to WPA2-PSK wifi? I'm using WPA at home and it works ok - I just want know if it is global problem with CM7 on Milestone 2 or just me (or just this AP) and what solutions can i try.
Thanks for suggestions.

I know it is not here but my phone is locked in airplane mode!

It always happens to me on my uncle's house. His wifi is WPA2 and has such a BIG password, but when I try to connect the phone acts as if nothing happened...
I think it's a global problem with Milestone 2, because it didn't work in any Rom, Froyo/CM7/GB/MIUI.

Xperia "Limited Connectivity" problem on Wi-fi

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

WEP Encryption: Enabled
Encryption Strength: 128
Current Network Key: 1 ( up to you )

well dude, before we say it's a hardware matter, have you tried to connect with different WIFI? office, home.... you tried ROMs, but afterall connection is about 2-way.

This is very weird. 4 ROMs!? I've had issues regarding wifi with Gsf. But,this should be some problem concerning your wifi router.Check the settings and try.
Hey,another thing,just check the MAC addresses in your wifi after your phone connects.
