WiFi

Don't seem to be able to connect to the internet or exchange server via WiFi.
Can only get data via mobile network (orange)
Is this normal ?

wifi on hero worked perfectly for me. The problem must be unique to your phone/config.

If you try to go to an Orange bookmarked site then it errors - these are the free pages on Orange, which rely on an Orange connection.
Other than that I can browse the web over WiFi just fine.

Cheers, will factory reboot tonightand try again.

Yes I noticed that. Pretty sloppy from Orange that. There should be a 'what if' type proxy situation for wifi vs gprs/hsdpa.
But do we expect any less, they are only a phone provider FFS!

OK, have factory reset, still no internet access through wifi, any ideas ? ?

Do you get any wifi's coming up when you go to wireless controls -> Wifi settings?
if not, are you sure your router is set to discoverable?

I get a connection to the router and its shows on the hero as connected but all applications just say I have no network connection. Flick the wifi off then all back to normal :-(

Sounds like an addressing issue to me. There is no static ip definition on the mobile is there? Or possibly a dns config issue.
Sounds like osi layers 1+2 (ish) are working but layer 3>failing.
It's not a layer 8 issue is it?

Have you just tried that 1 wifi spot? Try another and determine whether it is just the phone, or the connection between your router and your phone.

I definitely think you should try it out on another access point just because I have seen issues like this in the past where a device and router just haven't got on. Obviously this isn't a "solution" but if you have difficulty elsewhere, it probably points to an issue with the device itself.
Another thing you may like to try is manually changing the channel for your WiFi network - again, I've had issues like this in the past when a particular device has real trouble when the WiFi was set to certain channels.

How ironic, orange hero, with orange livebox on orange internet DON'T WORK !
Swapped to a Belkin N router, connects to wireless and all works fine
One less issue with the Hero
Thanks everyone

WiFi problem, dissconects all the time...

Hi!
Bought a Tattoo for my kid and now we got a huge bill because the wifi seems to dissconects itself all the time and she is not that good checking the wifi state.
Is this a known problem or what can i do about it?
Using a Netgear N router and WEP (must use WEP because of my stupid XBox that can't handle any other security).
Please let me know how to fix this so she can use the phone!

I have this problem too, and as I found it's a known problem on net.
I'm using wifi fixer, which running as a service and reconnect everytime the connection drops. It's not a solution, but make things better.

Hi!
Thanks for the info, is that an app i can find on the Android's app place?
he he he.... did not notice your link Sorry!
Looks to me that HTC is screwing things up even with Android devices...

This phone realy sucks!
Me again!
I've struggled with this phone a couple of hours now but i can't get the wifi to work now.
I press connect to my network, i have entered the wep password but a couple of secs later it says disconnected...
What can i do about this?

I have the same problem - Is it best to configure the Wi Fi settings like IP address etc ? And if so whats the best settings for it?

I've managed to get it to connect now, removed an app that kept track of wifi traffic. But it seems to me that Tattoo does not use wifi when i use YouTube for example. Checked my providers homepage for traffic that we pay for and they had traffic for today. And the phone has not been used all day until my test this evening.
Is there a way to tell the phone to use just the wifi connection when using youtube app or explorer...?

install apn on-off when you use wifi, just disable APN connection.
then if you need umts/gprs is 1click enabled

Thanks, this sounds easy enough for my kid to handle when she wants to use the wifi and to be sure that it uses the wifi and not the expensive data from our phone company.
Thanks again! Will try this!

Wifi Possibly broken

HI
last night i rooted my phone using the exploid x10 root apk, at first it worked fine and so i left is plugged in over night to transfer all my music onto my new sd card
but this morning it seems the wifi has broken
it connects to the network but will not send or receive data, so the browser says no connection, so does the market etc
i have reflashed its software 3 times even downgraded back to the R1, still no luck, its not even rooted and its broken
any1 had the same issue? i have searched the forum but the ppl with the sam issue have not been helped. please i dont want to spend $$ to get it fixed i have no job

Hi.
No problem with the wifi so far.This is strange.
Do you have warranty?
Sound stupid but did you try to reset your router?
If nothing is working you should go to the service.

yea i messed around with wifi router, nothing, i can browse the net on 3g wich is odd, but 3g is expensive so that cnt be the solution. bluetooth and 3g work obv but the wifi cannot connect itl connect to the wirelss just NO datac exchange?

There is someone with the same kind of problem but on an EVO 4g, but i really do not understand what they reply's mean. Maybe you do?
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=800910
tried to search on google and came across a LOT of people having this same issue, on laptops, iphones, ipads, which lead to the conclusion that it may not be a wifi failure?

well it cant be a complete wifi failure kuz i used the dev menu and it says wlam enabled and scanning just no connection

thanks

+1 and so much more for all your help man
i managed to fix it, it wasnt my device as such it was my router, too so i fiddled around with both mainly giving my x10 a static ip and bam it worked, cheers!!

I too have a wifi problem, but it is quiet a different one and i have no idea how to solve it.
when I connect to wifi at home my router reboots, but there is no such problem when i connect to my office.
I tried reseting the router at home and still no use, once it got connected and when i started a download from the market the router again rebooted.
How can i solve this????

Tried diffrent encryptions? like WPA2 or WEP?
Maybe switch from G to N standard (or vise versa, if availible?)

see: en.wikipedia.org/wiki/IEEE_802.11#802.11g

The X10 doesn't support 802.11n

no one said that it did..
My router uses N and i still connect fine

Somebody told him to try to switch the router from b/g to n. That was the point of my post.
And your router obviously operates all 3 standards at once

[Q] Upgraded MS2 Froyo to Gingerbread, now Mobile Hotspot doesn't work any more?

Has anyone got Mobile Hotspot to work on their MS2 after the upgrade to Gingerbread?
I've been having problems - Tte MS2 properly assigns an IP address to PCs that try to connect to it over WiFi, but the connection doesn't seem to go past my MS2 to the Internet. Same thing whether USB or WiFi.
I'm on T-mobile on the USA - could that have something to do with it, some kind of authentication is being performed now (that wasn't being performed on Froyo?)

I had this problem too.
Now I use the app "barnacle wifi tether" and it works fine.
I'm from Brazil...
Sent from my MotoA953 using XDA App

Thanks for the suggestion. If I root my phone I'll consider that option. Has anyone found any other fixes? I tried playing with the APN settings as suggested by some online, but it doesn't seem to help.

Usb sharing is f*d up - dnsmasq does not launches properly and phone gives no IP in response to dhcp req from pc. I don't remember, if setting an IP and gw manually solves the problem.
However launching _both_ sharing method at once helped. DHCP worked fine. Maybe launching wifi hotspot alone generates similar problem?

Did a factory reset and now Mobile Hotspot works!
Haven't tried USB tethering yet, will report back when I do.

Great! I also had this problem and this tip helped me.

Mobile Hotspot works but haven't got USB tethering to work properly yet. The computer can get an IP address from the phone, but no connection through to the Internet. This is after the factory reset.

Same with me here.. Already did FR but still no go..

Old thread I know but anyone sorted this yet, as its doing my head in, I even changed to a tethering plan in case i was being blocked.
Barnacle Tether doesn't work either same symptoms also says DHCP:Could not bind to DHCP port Address already in use

Could it be your carrier blocking 3G tethering?

Hi
3G tethering is not blocked by carrier as I am on a tethering plan and have spent a long time on the phone to an Indian call centre to sort it.
But joy of joys after trying everything I could think of including re-flashing and wiping all data etc. I have managed to get it working using wifi tether for root user

Wi-fi disconnecting? Anyone having the same problems?

I've not yet received my OP5. I'm in China.
A lot of people here is having really severe wifi disconnection problems. No more wifi data but wifi is still connected, have to reconnet wifi to have data.
I cannot post link yet. But there are all kinds of report on the Chinese official OP forum.
I'm just wondering if any of you guys are having the same problems?
I'll test the phone once I receive it.

Yes another issue, it's done it twice on me in the last 1w hrs, the wifi icon completely disappeared as if it switched off, I'm noticing some worrying issues out the box.
That should have said last 12hrs.

For me the problem is different. WiFi continues on, it's like it's properly connected, however I can't access anything on the web. I have to disconnect WiFi, use mobile data, and connect WiFi again. Then it works for 2 minutes, and stops accessing any websites again...
So, the wifi only works for about two minutes. I quit and now I'm only using mobile data...
It happens with all access points and wifis I've tried.

Same problem here. WiFi connection is always on, but after 5 minutes after connecting there is no more data send.

Okay I'm glad I'm not just imagining it. I'm having the exact same problem. I thought it was my home network at first but good to know it's the phone. I wonder how long it's going to take for a fix?

Try turning off smart network switch in wifi settings, I had the issue, but when I turned that off I had no issues.

Thanks. Will try. I hope that solves it.

have you try?

Hi, I've had major problems within my 5 Ghz Wifi: The transfer rate was suuuper slow (0.15 kb/s and less) and after a while down to nothing.
But with switching to 2.4 Ghz everything works fine. So just go to wifi settings -> advanced and select 2.4 ghz only. That solves my problems for now. Hope a future update solves the 5 ghz issues.

I've had no problems with wifi on my OnePlus 5.

Having the same problem, disabled the "Smart WiFi-switch" in the advanced settings and hope it is fixed for now.

OnePlus haven't dispatched an update yet to fix this and other bugs...
Sad...

smart network is off but not work here.

i have the same problem with wifi. now i turned off smart wifi switch and i will try.
but i have the same problem with 4g. There is field, but i can't do anything, i can't surf on internet, like i haven't connections. Switch off data and turned on it and it work.
strange. very strange

same issue here. I've removed all files with 'cne' via recursive search in /system and commented out the entry in build.prop. seems to be a little better but still need some time to confirm
