Nexus one Wifi

I just want to know has anyone had any problems with the wifi? and wep/wpa? ive heard some complaints about this and i jus want to see how common it is

I use mine on a wep and wpa network everyday with no problems at all.

I use wep at home and wpa at work, no problems.

mines also good too.

Wifi on mine is 100% broken. Trying to turn it on makes the phone freeze and then reboot.
Phone arrived yesterday. Wifi never worked a single time, out of the box. Details / video below:

Buyer beware.

Ok thanks guys, it seems only a few are broken, fingers crossed I guess.

Paul has another, much larger post about this up here somewhere that you can probably pitch into.
I read that rebooting 4-5 times worked for someone. :shrug:

To be fair, I've searched and searched and searched on here, Google's support forums, Google itself, etc, and have not yet found a single other person with broken wifi like on mine.
So I guess I'm 1 in 20,000, sigh.
Either way, I would caution against purchasing the device until the 3G/Edge switching problems have been fixed. I didn't care about those issues, because I thought I'd always be on wifi. Heh, boy was I wrong...

Thanks paul, I do suggest sending it back by the way

No Wifi problems here either WEP or WPA (no 3G/Edge issues either)

WPA works fine here, but doesn't always re-connect automatically after an incoming phone call. Sometimes need to force a re-scan when I'm at the far edges of the range.

[Q] WiFi issues on almost all ROMs - MB525 red lens

Hi All,
Since I got my DEFY I have WiFi problems. This issue only exists when WiFI has WPA/WPA2 PSK authorisation.
It is going like this: I connect over the wifi. Then connection works fine, I am able to browse www, check the emails etc, and after few seconds, minutes the connection stops working but still exist. I try to reconnect several times. Defy shows that is connected but nothing works fine. Internet apps or Market gives a message like the time is up, connection lost. I have to forget the conection in settings or reset device to get it working properly, but not for long.
And the thing is that there is only ONE ROM that works fine with WiFi on my DEFY. This is Cyanogenmod-7.1.0-RC1. Other ROMs have same issues. Doesn't mater if it is Cyanogen mod 7.1 stable or any MIUI or MS2Ginger. I tried almost all roms but nothing helped. So I had to go back to CM7.1.0-RC1.
Do you know what should I do to make WiFi working fine on other roms?
greetings,
Gregory
p.s.
Please, just don't tell me that I should change authorisation on WiFi router. This is not a solution for me, because I use WiFi in a lot different places.

Same problem
Hi,
I have the same problem with my Defy since a few months, no solutions!

I have the *EXACT* same issue. Was about to roll back to stock and send it in for repair, glad I found your post! I'll install the ROM you suggested and keep hoping this gets fixed

just fixed my wifi issue for the second time. If there are to many remembered networks no more wifi. You can turn it on but it cant find any. delete all remembered networks and back on line. that is the only conectivity problem I have ever had after months of cm7

I think that's a different problem than we're having. It is finding the network just fine (and connecting) in our case. It's just that internet connectivity refuses to work after a few minutes, forcing us to disconnect-reconnect to get it working again
@OP: Thanks a lot! The ROM you mentioned does indeed not have this problem. It's not as stable as some of the more recent roms though, think I'll still be forced to revert to stock

i had exactly that problem with my first defy, no solution man, i send it to warranty and they give me other

maybe changing the regulatory domain channels from 11 to 14 could help. this option is hidden by default, you have to enable it: change the value of 'ro.debuggable' from 0 to 1 in /system/bootmenu/config/default.prop, save and reboot. after that, the regulatory domain setting will be shown in settings/wireless/wifi/advanced. simply change it to 14 channels.

@OP: Apparently the issue still occurs on the version you mentioned as well...just happens less often.

Thank you for the suggestion! Just tried this, didn't resolve the issue sadly
I'm looking into rolling back to a stock Froyo rom but the information is scattered all over the place, I'm having a hard time figuring out if it's possible, and if so, how ;/

Anyone have any more ideas? ;/

OK, maybe I just passed the signpost but... do you still have the problem if you set your "select network" setting to 3G only?
I ask because (and it may be different on my phone as I am USA, stock ROM with wifi calling) if you go into the INFO menu > phone information > set preferred network type, mine toggles between three radio preferences: "GSM only" (when wifi is active), "GSM auto (prl)" and -- if I set for 3G Only, "WCDMA only".
I have noticed that when "select network" setting is at automatic (or 2G only) it often has trouble transitioning from cell to wifi. And, when wifi is an issue, I find that "GSM auto (prl)" has been selected (which on my USA phone prevents wifi connection). However, it seems to have no issue whatsoever transitioning from "WCDMA only" (3G only) to "GSM only", which on my phone then allows wifi connection. Again, this is a wifi calling phone so may be different.

Yep, same here BUT ! I get root browser, found my build.prop and change wifi chanells first time for 14 and it didnt help so i try other and my wifi works in 100% with 13 chanells. Try it

This is a widely know problem, many people are affected more or less. I'm also having nerve-blowing times with wifi sucking all over... Stock Froyo (and now Cyanogen 7.2) seems to be a bit more stable, sometimes everything is fine for a few hours, all downloads go lightning fast - and then suddenly things are screwed up. I tried a lot of MIUI releases as I like it most. MIUI seemed the most problematic so far. I don't know what is the cause, new stock Motorola Gingerbread ROM versions also have this issue (except one I think - look it up in the forum).
Agree, bothering with the router is not a solution. My Nokia E51, my EeePC, my girlfriend's Omnia and Lifebook - all work perfectly with all the four routers we use frequently. Not a single glitch - everything is stable and nice, except Defy.
I don't think is a hardware problem with certain devices, it seems more to do with the way Defy handles wireless connections.
Anyway, it's frustrating but CM7.2 and CEE Froyo gives a bit better experience than others.

No, problem still persists. Sometimes it works flawlessly for hours. Then... suddenly screwed :S In some cases a "switch wifi on/off" workout can help but not always.

Same. Thanks for your response.
I've rolled back to 2.2 and no Wifi issues so far. I'll just stay on this stock ROM.

Which Froyo version do you use? A few times this wifi-bug occured also under Froyo. I'm thinking about going back myself, as Froyo is the only acceptable release to record hiccups-free videos

[Q] Tab 4 7.0 forgets wifi

After an hour on the device it simply forgets it's connected. Even if I'm watching a movie it will stop aND say no connection. I've returned it once so I think it is software vs hardware. Anyone else?

I had a 7.0 for a week and not one had problems

Yeah mine does that also, not my fave, but I just turn the wifi off and then back on again. Sometimes it only stays on the wifi for 10 minutes! Hope there is a fix at some point.

Seems like a Samsung issue....
Looks like all along the Galaxy lineup there are wifi issues.
I tried everything, preventing wifi from sleeping, using wifi fixer, nothing seems to work.
Sometimes my wifi will stay connected, the upload will work, but I get no download.
Rebooting wifi on quick toggle seems to only do the trick.

Have you all updated the software?

Yep, seems to do it more often with a 5Ghz connection than 2.4 though.
None of my other 5Ghz devices (3 iPhones and an iPad) drop wifi.
Signal is on clearest channel available.
Pretty much isolated everything outside of this tablet.
I'm pretty techy with my home networking, so I'm at a loss with this one.

Yes, it has been updated and yes it has occurred on my home wifi, my work wifi, my doctor's office wifi, and unfortunately the hospital's wifi. All with the same outcome! My S5 doesn't do it nor did my S4 running Kit Kat.

So, still no fixes for this! As a previous poster now it is getting where if I'm playing a game it will drop after 10 minutes! I have power save off everything. While hitting the WIFI on off button works it is highly annoying! I want my WIFI all the time not when my tablet thinks I should!

Think I have a solution http://tinyurl.com/nfbgxds
Hope 5th is will help out so far so good for me!

I just got this tab 4 7 inch last week and I am having the same problem with connections showing connected but not having any data transfer. The steps in the above link did not help for me.
I have updated to the latest firmware posted on sammobile, both the Canada version and the nook (BNN) version. Neither have made a difference.
I have found another thread in thisnforrum for this same problem, and there wasn't any solution there either.
I did find wha I think might be solution but haven't proofed it yet. in the build prop there was two "ro.carrier" lines. I think there is only supposed to be one, so I commented out one.
Original Example:
ro.carrier=wifi only
ro.carrier=unknown
Changed example:
ro.carrier=wifi only
#ro.carrier=unknown
If anybody can confirm this makes a difference or not please post results
EDIT::
After two weeks without problem anymore it appears the fix was the static IP address not the build prop change.
I found threads going back to at least 2007 about Samsung devices having trouble with dhcp and all the solutions being manually assign a static IP to the device.

Same issue here. Sometimes I have to cycle the WiFi every webpage!
Both of the above solutions didn't work for me, unfortunately.
Edit: Okay, I may have found the issue, at least for me. Turns out, the tablet was auto-assigning the same IP as my RasPi. After setting a static IP, everything looks okay from here. Hope this helps!

Changing to static IP did nothing, I was having to reset wifi on the tab every time I turned on the screen.
I even had wifi fixer constantly running.
Finally updated to NJ3 and everything is working properly.
Looks like it's a FW issue.

It should be one line:
ro.carrier=wifi-only
Script can be added however by attacting to the rom on the correct line parameters and scripting for digital on board configuration (no smart card) QMAL gsm, gprs, 3g, 4g, even lte or 5g, or 6g, no sim card required researve slot for world phone, or dual networking. The problem is each phone has to be separately programmed so cell companiesnhave walked away from needing higher qualified employees by switching to smart cards. Cost way less and employes way less people and note, your phone didnt cost you a penny less. I been doing cell phone tweaking since the motorolla brick was cool. Currently I used Samsung Galaxy Note 8010 64-bit 32 gig converted to XAC (its the industry's mobile payment recieveing device you see at bars, its made from the model previous mentioned)[to-wit-it says on their site not to tell anyone about]-or else- build then added Debian, Jessie. Then switched the imei to XAC, installed the telephony.manager.is_network_roaming=true along with the prpper scripting for the support and am hooked up to Sask-Tell. Once I got it connected and registered so it had a sign in address with the system i swutched the imei to all 000000000000's now they dont even send me a bill. But it works. The guy at the phone company couldnt even tell me where i was calling him from and he said my phone was disconnected while I was on the phone with him from the disconnected number. lmfao have a good day.

The most weirdest wifi problem

First let me start off by saying this site has saved me hundreds of times on so many phone, you guys rock. Now to my problem I have the LS980 sprint model and everything works on the phone bluetooth,sim unlock, kernels etc... I have flased so many different roms on the phone and all work but they all have 1 problem in common my wifi. It can see all the wifi signals and I can save the password but it never connects NEVER. I have no idea what it is I have searched the forums and only see problems that wifi doesnt turn on same for bluetooth or slow inernet. Pleaseeee help I love this phone its old but still very fast.

Wi-Fi calling on vodafone uk

Hi guys
Just got a and s8 and its the first phone I've been able to use Wi-Fi calling on. I'm on vodafone uk and the WiFi calling works okay. I've just got a question though.
At home I generally get an okay mobile signal but the WiFi calling symbol remains even though i have 2 bars. Is this normal? I though WiFi calling would only kick in when your signal was really weak?
Many thanks

Hi just a question do you have any problems with wifi calling? Just that I'm on vodafone and when using wifi calling no-one can hear me when I talk.

I tried it today mimo2008 in airplane mode and WiFi on and it worked okay for me. Are you running a vodafone firmware or a standard uk one?

Had the same issue in that quite a few times the person at the other end could not hear me. Also the WiFi calling symbol would remain even after I was out of range of WiFi!
Used to work fairly well on my old S7. Given up using it for now and turned the Sure Signal back on.
I'm not using a Vodafone firmware BTW.

It's strange because it only works in airplane mode not in normal. I'm running vodafone software unfortunately.
Thx for letting me know.

Are you guys connected to 5ghz WiFi when you are having problems? I had the chance to try WiFi calling at work today where I don't get signal. It worked really well and disconnected as it should as soon as I walked outside and had a couple of bars mobile signal. I tried this a few times. The only difference to at home is that we only have 2.4ghz WiFi at work.
Came home and forgot the 5ghz network and joined the 2.4ghz one. Magically it just works now. As soon as I'm down to one bar it comes on. Then goes off when I'm stood by the window and have 2+ bars.
Edit: Seems that didn't fix it after all. I'm sat here with 2-3 bars and WiFi calling remains on. Oh well hopefully in a future firmware update it might get fixed.

Just to update I'm now having the problem of the other person not being able to hear me. I've had to disable WiFi calling now as it's too buggy. I've left a message on the Vodafone forum where others are having the same problem. Apparently they are looking in to it.

Yeah I've been told it's not compatible with nougat which i think is a load off bull.
If it was the case then it would effect other carrier's

Have they said if they are working on a fix mimo?

Hi @rob77
This is the email I got from vodafone.
Hello,
We?ve just investigated the fault you are experiencing with wifi calling. Your phone is currently running the latest version of Android (Nougat) which regrettably is currently incompatible with wifi calling, as soon as an update is released to Android wifi calling will resume normal service on your phone.
Regards,
No time scale I'm afraid.

Thanks mimo2008
Oh well I guess I'd better invest in a sure signal for work then.

Your welcome Rob hopefully they will get it fixed soon.

Bought a sure signal yesterday and have set it up at work. I've got to say it performs really well

@ Rob77 - Funny, cos it worked perfectly fine on my S7 running Nougat?

@Richy101 I've read quite a bit on the Vodafone forums and it does seem mainly s8 owners complaining of this problem. I've submitted a ticket and would like to see it fixed but the sure signal is actually better for me at this moment in time. I only need WiFi calling at work and the sure signal supports texts as well. At home I get usually get 2 bars 4g and falls back 3g if the signal gets too low.

Just received a large "bug fix" software update which seems to include updated carrier software (VOD_0058 to VOD_0061) - does anyone know whether this WiFi calling bug was fixed?

EDIT: I notice Vodafone appear to have updated their site to say S8 is officially supported so they think any issues are now fixed
