How I solved Wifi problem

Lately I have been reading many post related to Wifi problems in the HD. I had the same. Even I was very near my router I couldn't connect to the net and the signal was very weak.
So I entered my router configuration and I found a solution.
Before, for security options I had: WPA-PSK [TKIP] then I changed to WPA2-PSK [AES] (of course you also have to change your HD connection configuratoin), and now it works great¡¡¡¡
Now I have all the bars for the signal and I can connect very easily.
Hope it works for other people

I have a similar WiFi connectivity problem, but after reading of the poor service provided by most vendors and HTC itself, I will try to gather some more experience with the problem before I contact HTC or my vendor, and hopefully find a solution. Bellow is my experience so far:
I own an HTC Touch HD since January and have a similar problem, only it surfaced last week. Before I had only used the WiFi connectivity briefly. The problems started after I installed an AP on my house expressively for the new PDA. The node is fully open and set to B/G/N protocols.
After a couple days of medium (couple hours per day) use the WiFi connection suddenly quit, the device would try to connect (the top bar showing the WiFi connection animation continuously) and after a few moments gave up with a dialog box stating the current network settings were wrong (even thou they worked fine a few hours earlier).
I tried several hot and cold resets, but only solved the problem after flashing a new ROM; even then the same symptoms reappeared after a couple of days of regular use. Again no re-setting would cure the problem, and now not even flashing the ROM again would work. Nonetheless, some hours latter the WiFi would connect perfectly with the same nodes it refused to before, and in very short time.
I have witnessed this cycle twice and have yet not been able to find a trigger for it, but will keep my eyes open for any tell tale signs, and post any findings here.

I could add to the above mentioned problems.
i got a new hd just few days back.
The wifi worked great. But now it doesnt.
I have disabled wifi, so can start it whenever i require.
I click on wifi button to enable it.
Then open opera, try any website.
it will open fine.
For instance say my email at gmail.com
Now after that if i try to open anysites or even continue with my mail, it shows error saying connection not available.
One of the workaround is to go back to toggele wifi off and switched it on.
Not sure if anyone faces a similar issue.

I's been about a week since my last post and I have already witnessed a couple of cycles of WiFi connecting perfectly and then not connecting at all.
No matter the settings I try after it decides not to connect, it won't. Even to nodes it had connected perfectly and fast jus minutes before.
I thought re-flashing might help but so far has proven ineffective. Once I thought some part of the non-volitile memory was causing the problem since after I cleared the memory I could connect for a while.
Any thoughts anyone?

Same problems here.
For the last hour I have been reading 10ths of threads here concerning WiFi problems.
My HD's WiFi worked fine on my home and outside for about 2 months. Now it doesn't. It reports connection, but no program can use the internet. At best, it seems to be able to exchange some Kbytes the for just a few seconds after a connection is established. Then nothing. Connected but unusable.
Tried everything Internet/My Work/My ISP, WAP enabled/disabled, soft/hard reset, everything.
When connected through ActiveSync everything works fine, all programs see internet.
Has anybody taken their HD to the service? Has any HTC service worldwide identified the problem as hardware and solved it by replacing something?

I have just encountered a similar problem, but already used wpa/wpa2 with aes. Have tried a hard reset with no joy. My old HTC Touch has no probs connecting via wifi nor does my laptop so I would surmise that the prob is with the HD and not the router.
I am going to try flashing with the latest version of Duttys 6.1 rom and see what gives.
Edit: Tried flashing with new rom with no success. Take a look at this post.

There are a couple of files to download but i only used the second ie this one.
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=1363759&postcount=2
Now no problems and can connect via wifi no probs, ip address assigned by dhcp.

Try to go into WiFi settings and move the power slider to max performance. I need to do it here to access my router. This happened also with my HTC TyTN II, with any recent radio firmware. The original WM 6.0 ROM and it's radio work fine in low power mode, but the new ones appear connected but are always at 1 Mbps and there's no traffic until you move the slider to performance mode.

You go into WiFi settings and you configure manual IP and DNS so as router.
DNS is important.
Whit manual configuration, Wifi work always.
(sorry for my english)

This is not a solution. I didn 't buy the device to be able to connect to my home WiFi only. What about public hotspots? Or hotels? Or whatever outside your home?

[Q] Wifi error?

Hi all, my Legend has suddenly started having the Wifi "Error" message every time I try to turn it on. I'm rooted and am running Azure 1.0.1. It was just today that I noticed it happening and it was still working fine yesterday. I didn't make any changes to the system before this happened. I read on the other phone threads that the goldcard needs to be inserted and that it happens with OTAs, but mine is not. Is there any other cause for the problem? Now I can't connect to any wifi network any more.
Update: I found it's because of the editing of the wpa_supplicant.conf based on a solution found on page 125 of the Azure thread. It's for connecting to my university network. It worked only until my next reboot. Is there a more reliable way to connect to WPA2 Enterprise networks? Searched the whole night but couldn't find any.

I also had some problems with WI-FI connecting to all kind of networks (hidden or not but all with WPA/WPA2), while I was running Azure. Though I'm not sure it was an issue with this ROM since not many are complaining about this. I made it work after switching to the "nightly builds". I'm running 43 now and don't have any problems connecting to WI-FI for more than a week

Wifi not working

Creating a new topic, because the other one is tagged as solved, but it doesnt solve my problem however.
So my wifi is not working, it's connecting to any wifi hotspot but not sending data thru that, which ends in failing loading any pages on IE, cannot download any apps from market and so on...
Anyway this is what I tried so far:
1. Flashed to stock rogers (also tried different Tango roms)
2. Did hard reset procedure via hardware keys (Format all Yes)
3. Did hard reset procedure via About menu
4. Did hard reset procedure via Samsung Diagnosis code sequence
5. Logged to my wifi network, everything looks fine at this point.
6. Opened IE and entered google.com:
"We're having trouble connecting to this webpage" (sometimes no error message but white page with scrolling bars appearing on touch)
7. Tried to access my wifi router via IP address (192.168.1.1) - the same results like above
8. Tried to ping my Samsung Fous IP (192.168.1.18) from my PC with success
9. Disabled wifi network security on home wifi router, the Focus still not working
Additionaly tried a method that fix issues with wifi after using latest wp7 tools, but it didnt help at all.
When using my providers APN there is no problem with opening pages on IE etc., but it's not Wifi.... Internet is also working if I have USB cable plugged in, but again it's not wifi.
Cannot use warranty, the phone is from the USA and I'm in Europe... without any warranty service.
What else I can do, maybe there are some diagnosis codes that can actually help with real diagnosis on what happened with wifi on my phone?

Hello again (from the other thread). For completeness, add the following:
- current OS version
- did/not use WindowBreak
- when did the problem start (if you can identify an event and OS version/revision) - or you noticed
There might be a test for wireless in the "diagnosis codes"... Good luck!

After you use the diagnosis fix, it might take some time, mine didn't work immediately but after some time, it detected my home network. But it seems you are able to connect but internet does not work, this is certainly issue with router/DNS settings in your phone, because I have faced these problems in iPhone, it might wrongly mapped to unreachable ip, but never faced this issue in Windows Phone, you might try changing the default gateway/dns settings, you should also reset your modem/router, and try basic setup before WPA/WPA2 setup

Hi there
Currently using 7.10.8773.98, (MAGLDR 2.0) but tried different versions, even vanilla pre-mango ones, they didnt work well with wifi on my phone either. I checked it at friends home wifi, which is totaly different network and routers.
I never used WindowBreak, never had to because my phone was already unlocked long time ago with ChevronWP7 application.
Noticed the problem about 2 weeks ago, but I didnt use wifi too much, so it could started much earlier. Last installed application was WP7 Tools 0.8 alpha, and all I did back then was using some built-in tweaks (3G?) if there is any, cant remember to be honest but for sure I wasnt editing registry or anything like that, I just play some games from time to time, cant event tell why I installed it, maybe because I noticed there is a new version. I cant tell because I never paid attention to it especially with rare wifi usage at a time.

I have isolated the problem I guess, and it's not the phone's fault. Something wrong with the main access point (Mikrotik) at my place. This is weird because everything is working just not on Samsung Focus. I digged thru many options and couldnt find anything that blocked or stuff like that. Well took it to totaly different place and another wifi network, and guess what - it's connecting to wifi with data flow...
Anyway consider this topic as solved.

WiFi Constantly Dropping and doesn't reconnect

Hi,
I have a Samsung galaxy S5, and the phone keeps dropping the WiFi constantly, and notifies me every time with a notification "Sign into WiFi network" (I don't have to sign into my WiFi network), and after a while (like ~5mins) it disconnects by itself with this message"Your Device has been disconnected from this network, your session has timed out". I have done the following things:
- Disable Smart Network Switch -- No Help
- Keep WiFi on during sleep (always) -- No Help
- Always allow scanning (checked) -- No Help
- WiFi timer (disabled) -- No Help
- Forget the network and reconnect with the network -- No Help
- Tried both 2.4GHz an 5GHz frequencies -- No Help
- Changed ROM (at first it was XtreStoLite then I have changed it to OmegaROM) -- No help
- Flashed Stock ROM (firmware) with Odin (UK-ROM-OPEN) -- No Help
- Wiped everything (Data, user Data, System, ...) -- No Help
- Changed Router's SSID -- No Help
- Reset Modem's Settings -- No Help
- Changed Network Channels -- No Help
- Changed Network pre-shared key - Password -- No Help
BTW: I have like 10 devices in my Home and none of them have problem with my network, So I assume the problem should be from the S5!
Device: Samsung Galaxy S5 SM-G900F
Modem: Netgear R7000 Nighthawk
It will be greatly appreciated if anyone could give me another solution.

Just wondering, are you using a particular custom ROM ? If so maybe try another one to see if it fixes the issues.
Also if you could can you get a logcat of before and during the error occurs and i will look through it see if i can point out the problem.

Thanks for your reply, Yeah at first I used "XtreStoLite " then OmegaROM, after OmegaROM, Stock ROM, and now I'm back to OmegaROM, at first the problem solved but after I have restarted my phone, the problem came back.
I have created a logcat using adb, I hope it helps.

Does this happen on other wifi networks or just your home Wifi, as it appears that it is down fluctiuations in Wifi Signal, i would suggest changing the Wifi Channel Settings on your home Wifi Router to another channel.
The LogCat shows the changes in signal stregnth followed by a network drop, it at no point says that the Wifi Module has turned off !

Thanks for your reply, I've changed the Wifi channel like you said, but no luck, I've flashed a AOSP ROM (Cyanogenmod) and now the problem is gone, no problem at all, so I'm glad that there is no issue with the wireless adapter, I assume, that this problem is related to Samsung's Touchwiz based ROMs , maybe changing modems will solve this issue ?

In that case i would try donwloading a stock ODIN firmware from Sammobile.com and then installing that Via Odin, looks like it could be a baseband issue !
I would go to sam firmware and then choose the correct ODIN software for your device and try that !
I bet it fixes it. Also as you have installed CyanogenMOD i would try installing a different Kernel Also as this may be causing you a problem.

wifi disconnect
I had the same problem on my Gs5 on my work wifi.. was a google.client issue. This thread worked for me.. i had to do "plan b" and enter the stuff into the network config of the phone, actually used the inputs from one of the replies:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/and.../howto-wifi-drop-caused-sign-to-wifi-t2862509
Had previously tried everything you listed as well.

WiFi keeps dropping - Doesn't connect to Internet

Hello good people of XDA,
Bought an used Nexus 6p from a marketplace and found out WiFi keeps dropping. It connects to a network and within few seconds drops off. Doesn't even open a webpage or connect to internet for the few seconds it latches on to network.
Below are few troubleshooting steps i have tried without much luck
1. Made 2.5Ghz and 5Ghz SSID different (Completely disabled one each time and tested - Didn't work)
2. Tried connecting through Static IP
3. Wipe Cache Partition
4. Tried with all kinds of routers and 4 different internet sources at friends and family places
5. All other devices in my home are connected and have no issue. Only issue with this phone
6. Went back to stock MM ROM (6.0.0 (MMB29N)) without any luck
7. Tried with the latest 7.1.2 (N2G48B, Jul 2017) without any luck
8. Tried a few custom ROMs without any luck
9. Went through XDA forums to find if any other solution
10. Changed router setting to a specific channel
Anyone knows what gives? Is it a hardware malfunction?
Any help is much appreciated. Thanks

Have you tried flashing different radio? Not sure if it will help but I've been using version 3.75 . The latest 3.81 was having drop offs with my cellular.

Does Wi-Fi work as expected when cellular data is turned off? If not, you may have found your answer. Tried a network settings reset? Under dev settings there are a couple of toggles related to cellular/wi-fi handover. One is aggressive Wi-Fi to cellular handover, and the other is cell data always active... try reversing those. Lastly look in the phone settings menu (*#*#4636#*#*) to see if anything looks wrong, or if a different setting may work better.

It happens to me alot, Just try another rom (nitrogen for example) rarely happens to me on nitrogen.
If that don't help, try removing the password from your router (make it open without password) and test if it works (it should work) if it don't,
Try connecting your phone to the router through WPS.
If it don't help, try adding your device manually through router configuration.
Try the above and let me know the result
