I'm trying to connect to my wireless network but the signal is weak. I have to manually go to the WiFi section in settings where my network is shown as "available" with 2 bars. I then have to click on "connect" 2-3 times for it to connect. I was wondering if there was an application which would keep trying to connect until it connects without my intervention. I hope this exists.
Thanks for any help.

Have you tried configuring your network as "hidden"? For some reason, my home network sometimes does not show up. Since I have "ticked" the option stating "this is a hidden network", it will try until it finds it.
Hope it helps.
Thanks for the tip but it sees the network but doesn't connect. Is there a registry tweak or something?
For some reason I had the same simptoms, but since I do all the settings (incl WiFi) via a xml (or cab) file, that scenario never happened again.
You can try to do the same following hints from here http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=277727&page=4 or similar threads.

Hi! Sorry for this message, but I really didn't find a topic that would answer my question. My phone shows that the wifi is connected to my home network, but I can't acces any internet pages, or even update weather. My laptop which is also connected to the home wifi is working properly. I just recieved my phone from the servis, I explained the problem with the wifi, and they said that it should work OK, and that there is no problem with the hard or softwear!! I would appreciate any help from you guys. Many thanks!

The issue is probably in your connection settings, Settings\Connections\Connections\Advanced\Select Networks.
Can't tell who your provider is so can't help you from there.
My provider is SIMOBIL. But why should my problem with wifi connection be connected to my provider? Isn't wifi totally seperated from that? Cause my SIMOBIL network works just fine, it's the wifi that says it's connected and doesn't work at all. Thanks!!
Make sure that your IP and DNS settings are correct in the D2. Also any encryption as well.
Are you connecting to a router? If so, make sure your security settings are correct, and allow the D2 to access the internet, ie, allowing the MAC address.
I need to enter my MAC address in my router and can't find it on my TD2 (model T5358) and my manual is only in Chinese, so that's no help. I searched "MAC Address" in the topaz fourm but didn't see the path to follow to find it. If you know how to find it, any help would be appreciated.
Thanks.

Turn on Wi-Fi, then Settings\Connections\Wi-Fi\Advanced\ (or Comm Manager\Wi-Fi\Advanced\) then switch to tab Advanced

i experience the same thing, but after i change the router WEP encryption key from hexadecimal input back to character input, it works flawlessly. think phone just not support hexadecimal encrype key??
Try to set the Power Management slider to Best Performance in the wifi section. I experienced that some ROMs need to be set like that to work, otherwise the symptoms are like yours: phone "looks" connected but no traffic is going on..
What protocol/standard is your wifi?
I have notice that since I replaced my wireless G router with an N router (same brand - D-Link), that my connection only lasts for a few seconds while I'm active. After a minute, or any delay in activity, my connection is invalid and I get 404 errors. I had no trouble surfing for hours before, and my laptop seems fine, so I'm not sure where to start troubleshooting.
I did a search, so dont flame
Ok when I try and connect my phone to my wifi at home, nothing happenes at all.
I tap my wifi network, and it just highlights it, and doesn't do a thing!
But when I tap any other wifi network, it asks for the network key.
When I've tried to do it through the winmo settings, It allowes my to put the correct info in, but when I press conect nothing happenes again.
I know for a fact Im putting everything in corectly, I've even reset all the info on the router just in case. And still nothing.
Wtf is going on guys?
try deleteing all Wifi Network settings and networks.. and then search for the network.. add them with the key ( If Required)
i hope this should solve your problem..
Is your router set up for mac address filtering? If so you need to register the mac address from your phone on the router.

Yeah it is, and I already did that...
Nope, the method in post 2 didn't work either
im having the same problem have you found any solutions yet?
wifi
i had simialr probs...
deleted all knwon wifi links,
reset router
allowed router to set itself up using wizard
then allowed HD2 to find my network
then entered my network key and phone worked first time..
not sure if its a router problem...could be you need to set router to auto mac addresses
hope this helps..
..
Trust me, its a fault in the HTC standard ROM...
If you download artemis rom, it will work... I had the same problem..
I've had a similar problem, here is what I did.
Go to wifi > advanced > adapters(on index tab) > network adapters > make sure each and every one is set to obtain automatically, this worked for me.
I hope you understood what I've written and that it'll work.

Not really, is this on the phone, because i got lost at adapters, it isnt there.
Nope non of the above worked.
Im on the axlor rom, you it wont be a problem with being on a htc rom.
Weird thing is it was working fine untill i had to send the phone off for repair.
I guess ill try a reflash and see if that helps.
Remove settings
I had this problem after i changed my wireless security settings. Heres what worked for me. Go to the list of wifi networks. press the one you want then hit advanced at the bottom rights corner, it should bring you to a screen that looks like screenshot3. Click change network and you will be at the screen in screenshot4. Right click on the network you want and press remove settings. Go back to the wifi list and try to connect. Also note that i have mac filtering off in my router, this may cause other problems if you have it enabled.
need W7 or Android

It got me to the point where I could enter my pass word, but It wouldnt connect! But thats one better than last time.
Thanks mate.
Also, I do have mac filtering on. But before the phone went of for repairs it worked perfectly fine with mac filtering.
hey guy,
i got this really strange problem. i tryed to log on to a wifi network that belongs to a hotel. the network, if u are on a pc, once u connect u got to type in a user name and password through the browser to be able to surf. so... i connected, but the wifi indicator in the status bar stays gray. so i decided it's gonna work from the phone and ever since, where ever i go i can't see any wifi signals, even though they are there. a friend can access networks through his phone, but i can't even see it when i tick the wifi on.
all it does is say "conecting..." and if i wait it goes to "dosconnected".
this is on 1.06 version, never had anything like this till now and i've been using nfinity since 2.2 ROM.
please help...
ps; i've posted this in the nFinity rom thread, but sadly question are often not answered there...
same problem
I have the same problem, and not just with protected wifi network also with free ones. With previous nFinity i was able to scan, recognize and connect to every available network, but with 1.06, 95% of scanning finishes with Disconnected wifi.
Go into the wifi settings, press menu button then check domain settings in the special menu. Set to 13 or 14 channel to see all available wifi signals.

Hello,
I've already searched the forum for an answer but I've been unable to find any solution.
I have a GT-i9505 Galaxy S4 with Omega ROM. I though flashing a new rom will help me but it's the same.
Everytime I walk away from my router, it automatically sets the wifi as "Network disabled because internet connection is slow" and won't connect again. I have to manually click connect to force it to connect it. Also, when I'm in my University, it keeps disconnecting for the same.
How can I avoid this and force it to stay connected? Do I need to flash some custom modem or something?
Thanks
The answer!

TRY THESE STEPS
1) Settings => Connections and tap Wi-Fi. Then tap Menu and make sure Keep Wi-Fi on during sleep is set to Always.
2) Turn off Wi-Fi power save mode on your S4. Type *#0011# on the phone dialer, then Menu => Wi-Fi and turn Wi-Fi power save mode to Off. (WORKED FOR ME)
3) Or change your router settings to 802.11 model
Galaxy S4 wifi non-connection/drop out NEW FIX
Had a problem for ages with my S4 not connecting to wifi and therefore no internet, no updates etc. My router is a Netcomm NB6Plus4Wn but this may work with most routers.
It would constantly go through the authentication, secured/saved cycle but rarely actually got an ip address.
After trial and error I found this worked straight away and it is a very easy fix.
Go to your router settings page, then wireless settings, look for Primary Channel setting.
There may be a (Lower/Upper selection) - tick the LOWER radio button and apply changes. Let router reboot.
Note I also use WPA/TKIP settings for security.
Test your S4.
Mine was set to Upper Primary Channel previously and as soon as I changed that setting to Lower Channel wifi and internet worked immediately.
I hope this helps some people with this common problem as I know how frustrating it can be.
Cheers
wifi verification problem
galaxy s4 GT-I9500 running pac-man rom. just started getting verification problem connecting to my linksys router one foot from my phone.
did the following on my phone: settings, Wi-Fi, settings, wps pin entry, msg reads " enter pin xxxxxxxxxx on your Wi-Fi router." where xxxxxxxxx is a number.
logged on to my router, clicked on Wi-Fi tab, under Wi-Fi protected setup, it asked me to enter the wps pin number from my phone. I did and after a minute or so, it indicated success and now my phone connects to Wi-Fi
weird. my phone connected for months without this procedure but just started failing today. thanks to the one who suggested checking the router setup.

I recently ran into the same problem and my wi-fi button wouldn't come on no matter what I did. Finally, I took the phone to Best buy as the now have a Samsung store there and the guy reflashed my phone with the 4.3 update free of charge and it worked. When I got home I rooted over my phone and now my wifi works fine. Hope this helps.
