Xda-viewers,
yesterday i tried to put on my WiFi, but it didn't work anymore
I have my HD2 for about 1month, very happy with the phone,
and this is the first mayor malfunction
When i press WiFi ON in the comm-manager it shows it's loading,
and then nothing, doesn't go ON,
turned the phone off-on, soft reset.. nothing..
anyone else had this glitch?
hard reset or other solution?
It always worked, untill yesterday
If I were you I would go for a full backup with SPB, and then restore (maybe excluding everything regarding the wifi) after a hard reset
I would try doing hard reset.
However, I had the same problem with my old Fujitsu Siemens Pocket Loox N560 and they had to exchange mainboard.
Do you have it charging? I can't seem to connect to any Wifi networks when I have the phone plugged in. Once i disconnect it, it works fine.
If you are connecting it using USB, make sure WMDC / ActiveSync is set to allowing your phone wireless connections while connected to your PC!
???
phone is fully charged
not connected to PC or anything
not working, going to try some things
anyone goto suggestions except hard reset?
else i hard reset tommorow,
thankz
You mean you can't turn ON or NOT CONNECTING?
If its not connecting, did you try to delete the connection settings from advanced wireless settings and try reconnecting again?

It's really not turning ON.
I press the Off-On button, I see it loading and then, nothing,
WiFi is still turned OFF.

I've got exactly the same problem - have only noticed it today.
If I go into wireless network config and select my network there and click connect, it takes ages before it says "connected" and then immediately changes to "not connected". I've obviously checked and rechecked my settings. It simply will not connect any more.
i also can't remember installing an update which would cause this probleme..
Connected to PC
When connected to PC, in the comm manager, the WLAN is dissabled, can't even push it, maybe something went wrong with disconnecting and this is the reason why my WiFi is not working - going on?
Anyone?
I'm not at home, so can't do anything with mine at the moment, but out of curiosity, did you use then Wifi N option in BsB Tweaks? That's the only thing Wifi related that I can think of touching recently.
Tried it
Indeed, thought the same,
tried to put Wifi-N off, soft-reset, but no change
Almost at the edge of HARD-reset

I really hope it doesn't need a hard reset. I'm not gonna be happy if I have to do that AGAIN!
I'm gonna keep searching, in the hope of finding a solution.
Out of curiosity, do you ever use the Wifi router app?
WM-Wifirouter
I tried to use the Wlan-Router with Comm manager,
didn't work that well,
installed app I had on my P3600: WM-Wifirouter,
this worked like a charm,

I've solved my problem! Yay!!
I don't know if this will be of any help to you, but give it a try and see how you get on.
Basically, when using the in-built wifi router, it assigned the IP address 192.168.1.1 to the wireless adapter. This is fair enough, for a router, but obviously not for when you want to connect to a wifi network and get assigned an IP address automatically.
I had seen other people suggest that this may be the problem, so I'd already checked my IP settings for the wireless adapter, and they were set to automatic.
However, if you run the wifi router and then go to your IP settings, it says 192.168.1.1. Set it to automatic while the router is running.
This made my phone get a bit upset, and I ended up reseting it, but since then I've been able to connect to my home network again.
So...
1. Run and start the wifi router
2. Go to settings, Connections, Wifi, Wireless networks, Network Adapters (tab)
3. Select the network adapter (Broadcom 802.11 DHD Network Adapter)
4. Change to use a server-assigned IP address, instead of a specific one
5. Click OK
6. Reset the phone - don't close the wifi router app first.
7. When it starts up, go to the comm mananger and disable wifi.
You should now be able to start wifi and connect to your home network. (It may do it automatically if you don't do step 7 - I'm not sure).
Give it a try and let us know how you get on
Sensational johncmolyneux!!!
I had this problem too - it was doing my head in, but now seems like an obvious conflict. Thanks for finding the solution.
Now all I need to do is solve my BT Voice Commander problem (reported in many other threads) and the HD2 will have the same functionality as the Hermes it has replaced ;-)
Cheers,
Lordbowl
You still haven't hard reset?! I am doing hard reset every 6days because of mod/theme and other crap testing
Backups with resco/pim/office2007 entreprise on windows 7 beta do the trick to have phone working in 15 minuts.

-When I try to connect the WLAN-Router with the Comm Manager, it keeps on loading and nothing happens.
-When I try the WM-Wifi-Router app which I used on my P3600, it says not abble to connect WLAN
-All my settings are server-assigned-IP-address
Still not able to put on my WLAN,

This is a first time for this issue for me; my Wifi is scanning, but not connecting.
The settings look fine, I re-inputted the network passkey just to make sure, but it just doesn't connect...it just says scanning, though my home network is in the list.
My laptop can connect just fine as you can tell, I'm posting from it.
Can someone help?
Tried rebooting your modem/router?
I have this a lot of times waking up after sleep (I have the WiFi set to turn-off when the screen goes off)
Turn off then on the WiFi (wait a few seconds in between) resolves it.
(there are apps in the market where you can do this with a simple button press)
Well...I did reboot the router but had to go to work before I checked but it has to be the router...
I can connect just fine at work...
thanks for the suggestions...I'm glad it's working.
I have a problem with my phone. The phone is completely original with the factory settings, with the latest updates from samsung.
I am connected to the router of my house without problems, network options (automatically reconect set) SMART NETWORK SWITCH IS OFF. BUT WHEN I LEAVE AND RETURN TO MY HOUSE, THE WIFI OF MY PHONE IS ON, BUT IT IS NOT RECONECT TO THE WIFI NETWORK AUTOMATICALLY. The phone is on 4g until unlock it, in this moment the phone reconect.
Another situation, I leave the wifi ON, if I enter in a place with public wifi, the phone is not conect to the network until I unlock it.
I try:
*. factory reset...........nothing
*. smart network switch (on/off) ...nothing
*.energy option (on/off)... nothing
Any suggestions?
Thank you very much!
My phone is doing the same thing. This is the first phone I've ever had that does not automatically reconnect to my home Wi-Fi or my work Wi-Fi. Any ideas?
I'm here because I have exhausted all other options beside returning the phone. This thing disconnects from my work's WIFI when the screen is off, but it mantains connection on other WIFI's. This has not happened to me with many other phones I've had while working here, just this one. Phone mantains a connection to WIFI while screen is on, then it shuts off when screen is off. I come home, connect to my home's WIFI and alas, it works screen off. I go to Burger King, no problem. I go the mall, public WIFI, no problem.
I am the sysadmin at my work. What gives?
Already reset the phone, already called Samsung (told me to return it for another one)... I've checked various settings... just want to see if I missed something, because it all points to an issue with my work's WIFI, but why don't I have that issue with any other phone except this one?
I just checked with another person's phone, and it mantained connection screen off. I'm stumped.
8/11/17: Samsung tech indicated to wipe cache. Wiped cache / data, reconnected to wifi at home no problem screen off, came to work and screen off disconnects wifi. Used a Samsung Galaxy Express Prime with no SIM card connected to work's WIFI and no problem screen off, connects beautifully and streams no problem. S8+ screen off simply disconnects from this particular WIFI. Can't receive notifications on any app while connected to work's wifi - again, can connect screen off to other wifi's. I have this other phone that can connect to my work's wifi no problem (as well as others at my workplace). Any advice?
You have WiFi set to always on? or on while charging?
It could be the access point you use at work, an incompatibility with Samsungs Wifi sleep configuration
Hello, thanks for answering!
Well, it's set to always. I have a Samsung Galaxy Express Prime also, and it has absolutely no problem connecting to my work's many AP's and maintaining a connection (I'm currently using it with no SIM card).
Had this issue since I first bought the phone, wifi won't turn on anymore (instantly switches off). It used to, but the radio couldn't find any APs. I didn't check the MAC address, and now it just says unavailable. Bluetooth just won't work, and if it's on then I get a popup every 20s saying bluetooth has crashed.

Not enough information to help you. Unlock your bootloader and flash a full factory image.
I already tried factory resetting through the menus
