HI all i have a G2 Touch unlocked running Modaco's latest rom and i cannot get the wifi to stay on longer than about 5 seconds. It does search and find networks and i have managed to put in the key for my orange box but in settings/wireless controls/wifi the box stays ticked and underneath the words WIFI it says disconnected. Ive gone to advanced and told it to never switch from wifi and this is remembered but as i said it lasts all of 5 seconds then disconnects and i have only once seen the wifi icon in the task bar once for 5 secs then it went !! Any advice would be much appreciated thanks.
Maybe the signal's too weak and it looses connection?
No it doenst actually ever connect, the wifi program on the phone cuts out way before it ever finds a connection.
Just making sure you've done this:
Go to Settings -> Wireless Settings -> Wi-Fi settings -> Add WiFi network. Then enter the SSID and necessary security information. After all that turn WI-FI on
Thats what i do still just cuts off after maybe 5 secs !! I give up looks like i have a Hero that doesnt like wifi
Hmm, it seems that I had a similar issue, but I had enabled the Y5-Battery Saver and it continuously switched off my WIFI when I was in place where I had not been connected before. Just wondering if you have enabled the same app...

No i havent, but thanks for the suggestion

Since Yesterday my wifi hasnt been working. It just randomly stopped connecting and im not sure why. It askes me for my network code and when i type it it (exactly how it is) it says network key incorrect and wont work. and when im at my friends house whhere there is no need for a network key, it says that IE cannot display the page. Also it keeps trying to dial out verizon broadband when my wifi switch is on. Isnt it not supposed to do that?
Just because the Wifi switch is on does not mean the wireless is enabled. Have you tried using the connection management button (the one just below the power button) to bring up the connectons screen nd make sure that WLAN is enabled and it's not in flight mode or anything.
Also go to Start > Settings >Connections > Wireless LAN
Check the MAIN Tab.. you should see all the fields filled in and a signal Quality Meter.
The ADVANCED Tab will show your IP and Status..
That should help you determine if you are really are connected.
yes my wifi is enabled in the connections manager. and in the settings it does not show that i am connected to a network.
when you search for wireless networks, do you SEE yours? or are you entring it manually?
yes i see mine. It pops up to notify me and asks for my Network key. and when i enter it it tells me its wrong but i know its not beacause i was looking right at the linksys network on my home computer.
I seem to remember there being an issue with WPA keys at some point.
Try removing the security from the access point... then try to connect. (I'm not suggesting this as a perminent fix, just to see if it's a problem connecting, or a problem with the encryption. Turn the Security back on after the test.)
I know you tested at a friends.. but try this anyway. If you can connect ok, then you have an encryption issue... if you still cant, you have an issue with the wireless itself.
what ROm / Radio do you have?
What kind of security do you use? WEP? / WPA-PSK?
How Long is your key?
Yes i think its my encryption becasue i went to work today (A campground) and connected to their unsecured network right away. My friends internet is always messed up anyway.
I am using DCD 3.2.5 ROM
and radio 3.42.50
Its a WEP Encryption and the code is 10 characters long
Hello everybody!
Someone of you has noticed a poor WiFi reception on Hero?
I'm experiencing a poor WiFi reception in my house when Hero is connect to internet thru an access point.
What happen is that after WiFi connection has been established the phone tends to loose it and restart connection thru GSM/3G link.
That happen also if phone stay in the same place without moving around and also when phone is close to access point location.
Any idea about way to solve the problem?
Regards.

Just an upgrade on issue...
If I turn off data connection thru GSM/3G and switch on WiFi seem that WiFi connection is stable so maybe issue come when both data connection are enabled...
Anyway is annoying shout down each time data connection on GSM/3D and power on WiFi!
Regards.
i believe wifi goes idle when not in use. so it connect to 3g or edge. However there is an app if not various in the market already to help keep wifi always on..
Do a search for wifi and see for yourself.

Thanks for suggestion!
At now I've solved turning off GSM/3G data connection when I'm at home anyway I guess that WiFi reception sometimes go away due to issue of the phone or maybe as way to save battery...
when that happen phone stay unconnected so I guess that should be better if I will check for apps that keep WiFi connection always working!
Alex
when the device goes into standby, the wifi is turned off to save battery poweer, and it will go back to 3G.
go into the wifi settings, press menu and select advanced.
select the timeout options
set to never and it will not turn off when in standby.
problem solved and you shouldn't have to turn off Mobile data, although with the settings widget on your homescreen turning mobile data off off each time is hardly going to ruin your life. in fact i tend to do this anyway, just cos i have spent too many years with windows mobile....
Here's an annoying bug I've found tho - on TMob UK
If I send an MMS from home, wifi on, it sits there, and doesn't send the message. Until I turn off wifi and 3G kicks in again.
Now I know for a fact that on my Magic, it was able to turn on 3g/HSPDA to send the message all by itself. Might have a look in thodse advanced settings tho to see if there is something I can do.. Not a biggie, just a bit of an annoyance.

I too, have been doing a search on Forums all over Google looking for a resolution to this.
I have noticed if Wi-Fi is enabled I am unable to send or receive MMS messages.
It is an annoyance having to turn Wi-Fi off each time also I am never to know if someone has tried to send a message in the first place.
Currently using T-Mobile G2 (rooted with MCR Rom 2.8) on T-Mobile UK
Is anyone else experiencing the wifi settings to crash? My wifi works fine for a few minutes but suddenly I lose signal and when I go to wireless and network settings, it crashes and I am out of signal. Anyone know of a solution for this?
Thanks!
Have you tried Regpon?
Also, I've had success with this simple task:
In Wi-Fi settings, "forget" the router you're trying to connect to. Then shut off Wi-Fi.
Wait 10 seconds or so then turn Wi-Fi back on.
I found this workaround when searching for Wi-Fi problems on this board. No problems, now. If you get a FC for Settings, select "wait" until you've successfully gotten the settings to "forget" the connection and until you've got Wi-Fi shut down.

I tried this but still continues =/
In my case I tried to "forget" the WIFI password setting to access to the router, and restart your touchpad, and when finished booting the WIFI is back to normal then
The only inconvenient thing is you have to "forget" the password every time you shutdown or restart your touchpad.....
I think the reason for this wifi problem is that wifi's channel cannot be set up normal, I have seen it in my advanced setting of wifi, there are only three channels available for me to choose, which are 11 12 and 14.......
Also make sure you have your date, time and time zone set in settings.
Connected to home network, I keep the wifi on my S3 on all the time and it seems to be connected (from the icon in the top bar) but there is no data connectivity.
I have to manually switch wifi off then back on for the internet connection to start working again. This is the case after waking the phone up, and also just when the wifi has been on for longer than a few minutes even when the phone is in use.
Keep Wifi on during sleep is set to ALWAYS.
Does anyone know if this is a common s3 problem or is it specific to my device, and are there any fixes?
Thank you.

Thank you for your reply,
I have now swtiched wifi power saving OFF.
Hopefull this will solve the issue
Still not working...
Sorry to drag this up again, but this hasnt worked for me..
Has there been another solution since??
So I rooted and loaded the custom ROM on my Xperia X10 exactly following the instructions on the video found here : http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1305945 (Installed the ROM specified in the OP of that thread)
It works well, except for one issue. The wifi doesn't connect automatically to my home network even when within range; one second it is connected and the next it disconnects and doesn't re-connect. I then have to go to Wireless settings and wait for it to connect, which might happen immediately or after I select Connect. Sometimes, it just goes through a Connecting-Disconnected loop. Any ideas?
I've already set the sleep policy to Never and forgotten the network and added it again.
Apologies if this was answered before; if it was, I'd really appreciate someone pointing out the solution to me.
Open build.prop in root/system, mount as r/w
Search for this line and change scan interval to 30 second (or fewer) :
Code:
wifi.supplicant_scan_interval=30
You're done :beer::thumbup:
Sent from my E15i using Tapatalk 2
From first impressions, that *looks* to have sorted the problem out. Much thanks :good:
Unfortunately, that hasn't solved the problem, even after setting the interval to 10.
The problem goes like this:
I'm within WIFI coverage area of my home wifi, and the first time I switch wifi on, it connects automatically. After sometime, it just disconnects without reason as I'm using my mobile without moving out of coverage area. Now the most irritating part is that it doesn't connect automatically again. I'll then have to go to my wifi settings, select my wifi network (which proves that it's still in range) and select connect again. This again doesn't work all the time, and sometimes it just goes through the scanning->connecting->disconnected cycle. wifi sleep policy is set to Never fwiw.
I want to know how to stop it from disconnecting randomly even when within range, and connect automatically when in range, as this is extremely infuriating to use now
Is this a known issue with the mod that I'm using? If so, is there any other mod that I can use?
PS - The wifi was alright in the original SE device before rooting.
I have had this happen too.
I'm using DoomKernel V6 [root] on GB 2.3
Wi-Fi is active in a Wi-Fi coverage area with a stable connection and good signal.
Screen times out and after some time the phone is used again and screen unlocked.
Wi-Fi does not attempt reconnect to Access Point.
Status shows Wi-Fi in a state of scanning.
Preferred SSID is shown as available with good signal., but not connected/connecting
Disable Wi-Fi and re-enable Wi-Fi
Connection is re-established.
I have an XPERIA S v4.0.4 in the same Wi-Fi coverage zone using the same SSID and it connects every time. Just unlock the screen and a couple of seconds the preferred SSID is connected/re-connected. Every time.
XPERIA X10i
I did at one stage have a timed Airplane mode app that would disable Telephony and 6 hours later re-enable Telephony.
I was on a GB v2.3 build with DoomKernel V6 and XS system apps and after Telephony had been disabled is was _not_ possible to establish a Wi-Fi connection without restarting the phone. Although some times you could 'jag' it and make a re-connection, but mostly, it would only say disconnected and no options would re-establish a Wi-Fi connection to the preferred AP even when it was seen as an available AP and good signal. Disable and enable Wi-Fi did nothing.
After numerous other ROM/Kernel installs over time, I'm now back on GB v2.3 and DoomKernel V6 [root] with XS system apps.
This time round I only have to disconnect/re-connect to establish a Wi-Fi connection. No more phone reboots required, even in airplane mode.
Many times the Wi-Fi connection does re-establish itself, it's just a nuisance when it doesn't do it every time and you have to disable/enable Wi-Fi to establish a connection.
What I've tried without success.
[X] Added a static ARP on the router
[X] I changed wifi.supplicant_scan_interval down to 50 from 120 no change after a couple of days.
[X] Changed advanced Wi-Fi timeout from AC power and screen-off
I'll check logcat next time and see if that gives any clues.
Thanks for the input
Now, can someone swoop in and tell the solution?
Anyone?
If no one has any idea, are there steps on how to install a new custom ROM instead of the existing one?

seems that your bootloader is locked because i saw on that thread that you talking about that you are on Zdzihu cm7 rom with his kernel for locked bootloaders ... so i recommend this one to you :
http://www.mediafire.com/download.php?zhdzap0cek4pkvh
by ThJap its totally fast and stable with no issues
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1193001
just download the zip file and put it on sd card then go to xrecovery :
1. Full wipe, Wipe dalvik cache, and wipe battery stats.
2. Flash the ThGo_v.XXX.zip package via xRecovery
then its done.
