So I'm having this problem with my internet, not entirely sure what the problem seems to be. I never seemed to have this problem with windows 7 but whenever I'm on the internet for a certain amount of time, it stops working and it says limited on the router name. Does anybody else seem to have this problem and if so how did you fixed it because it's irritating disconnecting and connecting every hour or so.

Hi folks,
I have noticed an irritating, intermittent connection problem with a couple of XDA phones I've had. Specifically, I now have an HTC Touch Pro, and most of the time the internet works fine. Sometimes though, when I try to connect, nothing happens for a very long time, and eventually an 'unable to connect' message is displayed. Usually, I use Opera 9.5, which was pre-installed. But the problem also exists if I use the standard IE and also with Skyfire too. The message is different depending on which browser I'm using of course. But if one won't connect, none of them will, so I don't think it's a problem with one of those browsers. I should point out that when the browsers do connect, they stay connected. this problem only occurs when I open the browser and it tries to connect. I did have the same problem on my previous XDA device - O2 XDA Trion. I have found that if I perform a soft-reset, the internet will then start up nice and quickly on the first attempt, which I'm guessing suggests it isn't a network problem. Does anyone else have this experience? Does anyone know what might be causing it? Of all the pieces of software I've installed, there are few, if any, that I've had installed on both devices, other than the programs which are preinstalled. The only commonality between my previous device and my current one is the OS and the SIM card.
Are you speaking about your HTC PRO Wifi connnection or the EDGE/GPRS/HSDPA connection?
I also have issues with the data line not being connected or running the way you would think. I then pop over to wifi and all is good. I normally just turn off the data connection and reconnect.
Also, do you keep the connection permanently on data mode or do you let the phone log on for you?
My theory (this happens to me sometimes too) is that my phone connects to the tower and then gets timed out because of no data activity. The phone doesn't figure it out and simply shows a connection still. Then when you try to get data the phone is confused as to why the digital connection it thought it had was no longer active.
Props to me for making up **** and having it sound 2Legit2Quit.
I am talking about my EDGE/GPRS/HSDPA connection, and, now you mention it, yes, I think wi-fi works when EDGE/GPRS/HSDPA is not working. I'm not sure about that though. I'll have a go when it happens again. Which it will, very soon, because it happens all the time. It's annoying.
Thanks for your ideas!
PS: I didn't respond to your question about data mode. I'm not really too sure what you mean by that. I didn't know there was a data mode! In the Touchflo3D settings, under communication, there is a switch labelled 'Data connection. Turn off data connection.' But if I do turn that off, it just turns it straight back on again. I'm not sure that's what you meant though.
Hello! I have some annoying problems with wifi.
1. Sometimes network that i want to connect to, is simply listed as "Not in range". Turning wifi off and on usually fix that.
2. Sometimes network is detected, but phone won't automatically connect to it (it will just show Remembered at the network and disconnected at the top). I have to manually click on the network and select Connect. After that phone will eventually connect to the network, but it will take much longer than normal.
These issues are resolvable manually, but it's annoying. I want my phone to automatically connect after i just turn on wifi.
Any ideas, what could be wrong? Does maybe have to do something with SuperPower program that i have installed?
My specs are in the signature. Similar issues were also happening with RAFDROID HD 1.0 and darkstone's Froyo SuperRAM.
3. Sometimes when browsing the web or watching youtube videos, phone will simply disconnect and one of the above issues will occur. So no automatic reconnect.
Also i forgot to mention that in issue 1, phone don't see any network, not just mine.
Please help, it's very annoying.
Bump. Anyone?
This issue is annoying as i have to reboot my phone frequently to fix this.
Just got my Arc yesterday and noticed a really wired problem. I turned on Wifi tethering and connected from my MBP, after a few minutes of normal usage internet stops working. Although Wifi still shows connected on my Mac but sites will never load.
I keep getting "WPA Key" incorrect error if I try to reconnect before I restart Wifi tethering on my Arc. Thing is this only happens when WPA is on, if I choose no security it works completely fine without any issues.
I also tried connecting from my Nexus One and the same thing happened after a few minutes, so it shouldn't be some sort of conflict between Arc and my MBP.
Everything else on my Arc works perfectly, I already tried a hard reset but it didn't help. Does anyone know what else could I try before sending my phone back to SE?
anyone?
Hey did you find a solution? Or has anyone got any suggestions, I have the exact same problem. I can connect to the phone for about 2 minutes then it suddenly stops working. I then cannot reconnect properly untill everything is reset. I tried using it without security after finding this post and it works for me as well - I don't want to have it open though, im in halls of residence so people will try using it. Im on three mobile, I wondered if it is a possible problem with their branded software. (USB tethering works perfectly)
I also cannot connect to the update service through the phone, it fails everytime but there is nothing wrong with the 3g connection etc, and only the update service has problems. I know this is not important, but it could be a sign that something is wrong so it is annoying me a little
Thanks

Hi all,
I have been having and ongoing issue with the wifi connection on my Xperia X8. When I download a large file (20mb+) such as a podcast via Google listen the wifi will drop and reset. Sometimes, but not always, the wifi will be totally disabled at this point. The wifi will usually drop somewhere between 5mb and 25mb of data downloaded. Google listen throws up a time out error at this point. I have to say that it feels like a process is kicking in and dumping the connection rather than it being dependent on the amount of data. It will also occasionally do the same thing when using other apps that use the wifi (I have noticed it when using Weatherbug and also Words With Friends), although I have not noticed it doing this when using Opera Mobile.
I have done a full reinstall on the phone once already and it continued to have the same issue. After the reinstall I only installed Google Listen to rule out any conflicts. It also happens more frequently on my wifi at home (BT home hub) than on the wifi at work (Sky netgear). I did not experience any issues prior to the last Android update.
The reason I have decided to post this is because I think I may have stumbled upon why this is happening and it may help someone with more knowledge than I to get to the bottom of the problem. Today I turned of sync and the problem vanished. I have downloaded multiple podcasts today with no issues at all. There has been no other change to the phone.
Has anyone else been suffering similar issues?
The phone is also standard. Not rooted.
Cheers.
Hello
Sometimes when i have wifi and data enabled at the same time, my internet connection stops working.
But if i disable wifi or data i will get my connection back. Even just cycling wifi make it work for some time again.
Is anyone else experiencing this problem? Or does anyone have a solution?
I have been reading around and think it may have something to do with Internet Sharing and Interop-unlock.
i had the exact same problem, but worse. i had to switch to airplane mode and back to get internet working. and it was a very frequent and annoying problem.
for me updating to 8107 over zune was the solution. no more connection issues.
(internet sharing however i do not have anymore - but as you said, it could be related to this -so screw it i don't share my internet if it crashes mine )
This is a very common fault (there are several threads on the topic.)
Call Samsung support and ask them to get of their asses and fix the problem. I called and they said that they had no other report on that same problem..
Have the same problem, but I have to restart my phone for it to start working again. *__*
