Defy wifi problem - Defy Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Hi i was just wondering if anyone else has the problem with their defy where the wifi drops out all the time the connection stays on but it stops working and i have to toggle the wifi off and on to get it working. Does anyone know how to fix this? Thanks

sorry,这个真不知道

I've got the same issue on cm7, to reproduce just try to download a torrent, your wifi will stop working almost instantly...

me too, the same issue on CM7.2 120102, but i've notice when you set the cpu settings on bootloader to default the wifi works fine

These are all faulty hardware, try any rom or baseband you like, restore your original rom and return to supplier.
There seem to be quite a lot of them too

No this is a CM7 problem too, has something to do with wpa supplicant

I bet if you used a stock rom for more than a few hours, you'd notice the same drop off.
If it was a cm7 issue with supplicant, other handsets would also suffer, it's all built from the same source.

Mine does it with cm7 and miui some builds are better than others. The latest miuiandroid rom seems the best i've tried so far it only drops out a couple of times a day. With other roms almost every time i use wifi for a few minutes

But it's still dropping, personally I would send it back. Moto issued flaky batches, they deserve a high return ratio.
The same issues affect their other phones too, check the atrix thread.

I would if it didn't mean sending it from aus to the usa and going back to a w810i Sony Ericsson dumb phone for at least a month or two.

No faulty hardware. It seems that if you use Gingerbread with the older (Froyo) kernel, sooner or later you'll run into this problem. Under stock Froyo I can easily download, say, more gigabytes without a glitch. I'v tried several GB ROMs (CM7, MIUI, Moto with GreenBreadMod) and all the time wifi sucked, no matter what settings I used.
Try Froyo or if you have red lense, try a Defy+ ROM (except those with the well-known WPA2-bug) and you won't get any problem.

I think it's a problem with the CPU setting of the CyanogenMod and other ROMs, because when I go to bootmenu and use default settings without saving obviously (800mhz defy default), after some days testing, the wifi works fine, for example, I could fully download 2 game data (200mb and 500mb) without getting a dropout, I think I've solved so far, in terms of speed is not greatly affected the navigation of the phone.

Just today, this evening I got my new Defy and later discovered this problem (I am on stock Eclair ROM), what I did was that I added my Defy's MAC address into my DHCP Reservations List which was found in my modem's settings page and it looks like the problem is fixed for now, I'll keep you guys updated if I overcome any problem. By the way I am using WEP encryption method which only supports b/g mode, plus I checked Enable auto IP option in Settings / Wireless Settings / Wifi / Advanced.

Hello,
I have the same issue (no matter of rom, stock 2.1,2.2 or CM7) and setting my router to BG and WPA2/TKIP solves problem. I think It's buggy hw from motorola and AES support. When I switch to AES or TKIP+AES wifi hangs after downloading about 20MB, sometimes just few MB.

I have wifi issue on my latest 7.2 nightly build, too.
So, it looks like, phone wants to connect to saved connections (wifi status is connecting), but there should be status "searching", and stays on status Disconnected. Pushing Search button, do nothing.
When I delete few saved connections, wifi could do "search", and after that, i can connect!.
I think, there is critical numer of saved connections, when it is riched, then wifi can't do search, and connect to any host.

did you try deleting wpa_supplicant?

No,
I've only disabled support for n-mode in tiwlan.ini. Will see if this helps.
Do you mean, delete /etc/wifi/wpa_supplicant.conf?
You think it'll help?

WiFi Problem

Yesterday after bricking my phone, I recovered it by going into download mode and flashing gingerbread 2.3.4 XXJVQ but I've noticed that now I'm getting much weaker wifi signals. I only get full bars if i stand like within 5m of the router and I've checked with my other cell phone to check if the router is fine, which it is. So is this like some problem with gingerbread and is there a fix ? Thanks
Try another ROM, maybe a custom ROM... ?
I'd be willing to flash another rom but can anyone confirm if it will fix my problem. Thanks

Is possible to have this WiFi issue?

Hi!
Well, I have a very weird issue with custom ROMs and WiFi.
The history begins last sunday. I was using GingerDX wich is really great, but I had some problems with it, the most important was not being able to install apps in my SD card.
So, I switched to GingerXperia V22, this is a cool ROM too but I really don't like that my music lags when I turn my screen on. Also, the SE default dialer and Infinity view are bad and slow, but I didn't have the problem with WiFi, until I switched to XGin 6.2
Everything worked OK except for this:
El Brillantinas said:
I just realized a terrible and very weird error with this ROM:
I couldn't connect to The WiFi of my mate's office (where Im currently working). But the weirdest thing was the modem worked fine before trying to connect with my Xperia, but after turning the WiFi on, the modem just got busted and didn't work anymore!! So, no internet in the office computers, neither in my iPod, in my mate's smartphone, etc.! It was necessary to turn the modem off and then turning it on, and turning my X8's wifi off to make the modem working properly again.
Weird, huh?
I reflashed, and the error happened again.
So, I flashed back to the ROM I was using before (GingerXperia V22), and now the WiFi is working fine!
Anyone else with that same error or Im the only crazy around here?

I tried kuyaDROID and the same error happened.
I also did a full wipe... And nothing, the WiFi error remains on those two ROMs. So, Im currently using GingerXperia.
So, the question is: Is this really possible? And, is there any solution?
There may be some bug that's overloading it. Also was it the modem or the router? Cuz if it's wifi I would guess its the router but you said modem? I'd just use a different rom that works.

Guess is the router, where the wired networks are connected, it also gives the wireless signal.
As I said, Im sticking with GingerXperia, wich is not causing the error and Im connecting to WiFi with no problems. But I have personal problems with infinity view, SE's dialer and music lagging.
If is about a overloading bug, how could I fix it?
Im using stock kernel, btw.
To tell you the truth, I'm not actually that smart in this, but by overloading I meant that it might be trying to use too much data or something along that line, did it work fine over 3g?
Sent from my LG-VM670 using XDA App
Yeah, I didn't have any problems with 3G.
Don't really have any idea then, I've had problems with mange one device at a time but not fully crashing. Last advice would be that maybe the router has a limit to the number of connected devices it can have and your phone puts it over, try disconnecting one device then connect your phone

I already tried that, and the problem persists.
But this is a good excuse to read and learn eve more, it is a totally new problem for me hehe.
Thanks anyway, for giving suggestions.
I guess I'd try posting in your phones thread and the rom's also, might get better insight into the problem

To further assist you may I ask some questions;
1. What kernel are you using?
2. Have you tried connecting in other Access Point aside from the previous AP you are connecting with?
3. If using custom kernel did you delete all the modules in system/lib/modules?

1. Im in stock kernel.
2. Nope, I didn't try it. I don't have internet in home, but I'd try in my girl's house.
3. same answer than 1.
Thanks for being interested in this curious case.
If your using stock kernel then you shouldn't have to encounter those issues as most roms esp kuyadroid as you mentioned earlier is made for stock rom. I suggest trying into public wifi access and see if you could be able to connect. You have to have two or more access point to test with as router might have different configs than your girls setup.

[Q] Defy+ with Custom ROM loses network

Hi recently bought a Motorola Defy+ 2.3.6, of course which has Motoblur I want to get rid of. I tried a number of custom ROMs (CM7.2 & WhiteRabbitEdition), I could get them to install and run fine. The problem is that after a few minutes (or hours), the phone seems to lose connection to the mobile network. The phone still shows 2 or 3 bars of coverage, but cannot make a call or send SMS. Reboot fixes the problem, but only for a while. I am on the Telstra 850/2100 network in Australia, baseband was set using baseband switcher. Wifi seems to be working fine.
I have tried:
- cm72-20120429-NIGHTLY-Defy+.zip from http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1618904.
- an earlier Epsylon3 build
- WhiteRabbitEdition v1.5.1 & v1.3.1 from http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1510063.
No such problem occurs when I revert to standard Motorola build.
Any ideas what could be wrong? Is anyone else successfully using custom ROM on Telstra?
Leigh.
Have you tired changing your baseband to your country. it is some where in CYANOMODGEN settings.
Yes, I changed the baseband to Australia -> Telstra (850/2100).
On boot after h or 3g connects quickly switch to 2g only for a min then back fixes it for me have a try I use euro skank roms quick and stablest
Sent from my MB525 using xda premium
Thanks for the suggestion, it does seem to fix the problem, providing I leave it on 2G only. If I switch back to 3G, the problem re-occurs, albeit seems to take a bit longer to happen. 2G is fine for calls and SMS, but if I want to use high speed data, this is a bit of a pain. Also Telstra has broader coverage on 3G rather than 2G.
I also noticed that once it has "gone deaf" to the network, the "Search networks" never finds any mobile networks either. Also, I cannot change the "Use only 2G networks" setting any more.
My Defy+ model number is MB526.

Any other ideas?

Yes, tried setting to 2G only prior to reboot. After the reboot, if I switch off 2G only, it again loses connection after a while.
I have not changed roaming options, that is all fine. The SIM works perfectly in another phone, and also with Motorola standard ROM.
My next plan is to try CM9, see if that makes any difference.
Try with all roaming options ticked am looking into it more

issues with my wi-fi connection

Hi!
I have no idea how but somehow my wi-fi signal on my phone got like 3 time worse today. e.g. Two days in my room i had full signal for my modem now its barely connected.
I first restarted my modem and it didnt fixed anything. My prothers phone(HTC desite) wifi works perfect with full signal and mine not.
Today when i went to work and tried to connect to the companys free public wifi connection and it couln't find the signal at all.
I have no idea what happend to my phone. curently i'm using custom rom aurora
3.0 beta. This issue just came from nowhere.
Its my wifi adapter damaged? or is there a way to fix this problem by my self?
thx in advance!
dzo is improving the wifi driver, just stay tunned in the rom thread...
Your phone is OK, the driver is not so well
Go back to a more stable version and the prolem should be solved.
I also installed the original 2.3.5 gingerbread and still have the same problem.
its possible that the aurora wifi driver was still present when i installed the offical rom?

It looks like something is wrong with my phone and i'm pretty sure its not the rom thats causing the wi-fi failure. I will clean my phone as much as i can from the rooting and changing roms and than send it to service.
I remmeber that this morning "12 hours ago" my phone felt accidently on the ground.
It didnt shut down or leaved any scratch. maybe than dmged wi-fi. i dont know :S

Wifi Bug

Hi on my defy if i run any cm7 or miui gb based roms my wifi connection stops working all the time, but if i use cm9 miui v4 or ms2ginger it works fine. I really like miui gb but cant use it because of this bug, can anyone shed some light on this for me? thanks
I notice in ms2ginger rom features it says- no wifi, apn, vpn bugs
Have you considered the well-known Defy n-Draft bug?
Try disabling n-Draft within your router and see if it makes any difference...
