I own the X10 Mini Pro and the WiFi hardly stays on for more than 10 minutes at a time. It doesn't loose connection, it doesn't get disabled, but it just turns it self off in a way. To connect to the internet again i have to disconnect and connect to the access point. Has anyone else experienced this?
It's not a big deal, but still. Does anyone know how to fix it? I've tried to use both WiFinder and WiFi Buddy without success.
I have the same problems. It's quite annoying to restart the wifi so often. I hope that soon SE will release Eclair for it and repair this and other problems like this one. Or I will try to manage the bugfix myselft and if it won't be possible I'll give back my phone to reseller because this is not normal. I had "old" HTC Magic before and it did not have these problems.
It might be a stupid suggestion but have you guys adjusted the wifi sleep policy?
Go check in settings > wireless controls > wi-fi settings > bottom left hardware key > advanced > Wi-Fi sleep policy > select never
Does this fix the problem because I have enabled this and don't have a problem.
cheers

I cannot use this because I'm not an administrator of the wifi router. Maybe I'll try the Wifi Manager, but not now. I hope that new release will be soon and have less bugs.
Same problem here. I have set the sleep policy to never. My router is only using AES, no TKIP.

Try WiFi Power Manager from the market, solved it for me.
Today I recieve an update OTA to build number 1.2.A.1.174 and it seems that the problem with my Wi-Fi is solved ... at least for now. It solved a few another problems which I discover (f.e. changing radio station with handsfree, UI improvements, ...) but non all of them. I hope that the Eclair update will be soon.

Hi everybody. Now that I have rooted my mini I could install Barnacle wifi tethering for connecting to my laptop. But after long trials I am still not able to connect my phone with my laptop.
Can anybody with prior experience help me in this regard
For wired tethering I use Easytether which works great.
I havent tryed yet, but try setting the WLAN interface to "tiwlan0" and/or try skipping wpa_supplicant
Regards

Wonderful. It is connected with your suggestions. Many thanks.

Thanks, I also got this to work. What I wonder now is if it is possible to have security for this tether. When we choose skip wpa_supplicant then the security is disabled and it is an open network. When traveling and visiting public places I would be somewhat uncomfortable to have this open network. Barnacle does provide the WEP security option, but in order for this app to work with the x10 mini we need to choose skip wpa_supplicant which opens up the network to all. Any ideas?
I had to change WAN-setting & disable security too to even find the WiFi network.
However, when I connect it doesn't work. I see the in Barnacle "traffic"-pane that my computer sends requests when I try to load a webpage in the browser. But the down-traffic won't increase. Anyone know the next step in troubleshooting?
i left all the settings stock except turned on skip wpa supplicant. mine works great i ran ping- t all night and only lost 15 packs 0% loss, which is less loss than my friends cable internet.
when i first got it working i was using a mix of settings and i had to hit associate every 5 min or my laptop would stop having access to the internet but still remain connected to the network. so i just reinstalled it and it works great now.
This feature is one of the main reason why i bought an android device.
Edit:
after a few more days of pissing about with barnacle i realized that it cuts out when ever the phone is not being charged and falls a sleep and as long as i keep the phone awake its fine. the solution i came to was to open music player and play a song with the volume off and that keeps the phone from going into sleep mode. i know there's supposed to be a setting to stop wifi from turning off while in sleep but i have a branded rom and it doesn't appear i have the option. hope this helps someone.
There are two versions out there, 0.4.2 and 0.5.0. What version do you guys run?
anyone share the settings for barnacle wifi tethering. Its not working in my rooted x10 mini.

You can disable wifi sleeping on Settings -> Wireless controls -> Wi-fi settings. Push menu button and choose 'Advance'

I have the exact same problem and have tried everything listed here Anyone find a solution??
It works for me now using Barnacle Wifi Tether 0.6.7 and a SE X10 mini 2.1. Had the same problem before. Now my settings are:
Wireless Encryption: Wep Enabled (with hex password code)
Channel: 6
"Skip wpa_supplicant" - unchecked
Wan: tiwlan0
Hi all.
BarnacleWifi worked fine for two weeks but until I setup new android vertion 2.1.1.A.0.6 he doesn't.
Anyone try it with this one ?
Regards,
Devilo.
Edit: I can see the network on windows7 but when I try to connect, it freeze on "Identification" and I never have ip adress
DHCP doesn't work.
Same here :-(.
It finaly works on my mini with 2.1.1.A.0.6 firmware.
On MiniCM-1.0.0-Alpha2, Froyo Cyanogen 6.1 port for the mini "Rom"
Dont forget skip WPA supplicant.
Regards
Devilo.
On X10 mini Barnacle works without skip wpa suplicant! After a few trys and som Observation I found the Problem. Every baconinginterval the adhoc Network have a other MAC. I try to set a fix BSSID in Barnacle but now i can't find the Network so i undo it.
After some Trys i found a workaround:
1. Start Barnacle
2. Press Associate
3. Try to connect with your Computer
4. After entering password, your Computer try to connect, press 1 time again Associate
My Settings are:
WEP Encyrpting: Enabled
Skip wpa_supplicant: Disabled
Auto Associate: Disabled
WAN: rmnet0
still not conneting
It's still not working on my x10mp 2.1.1.A.0.6 firmware. My PC (Debian or Win7 have the same problem) still doesn't connect.
Barnacle on phone is showing no errors. PC is finding the wireless network but can't connect. Looks like it does not get an answer from phone (no IP address assigned).
I surely have tried all the advices from this forum and any google search gave me.
Same problem here guys - this was the reason for rooting my x10 mini

same here..
And I haven't found any solutions yet ... thankful for any suggestions ...

Kick for this thread, looking for a solution...
After 2 days of work, I have no more ideas...My new A101 doesnt work with 3 (!) different wireless adsl router. I already try the WAP/WAP2/WEP/no encryption with the same results.
I'm using last Froyo 2.2 firmware...
It seems that A101 works fine only with my Desire's HotSpot !
Any idea ?
I've got the same problem, I've got kind of a solution. I you play continuously a radio station with Tune In radio then you will not lose your connectoin.
You could try "disable powersave" when you are connecting to the network.
Then just make sure you turn your wireless on / off when you aren't using it.
Hi there!
I had a bug that when I clicked on the found WLAN Network to connect and disabled the powersave there, if I checked the connection afterwards, it always said, that the powersave isn't disabled.
What I did is to add my WLAN Network manually and not by clicking on it and disabled the powersave there. That worked for me, you could give it a try!
Cheers
1. download and install spare parts
2. open and scroll down to wifi sleep policy
3. check never
4 reboot
I also had problems with dropped wifi when the archos went in sleep mode. Disable powersave did not work. Untill I found softlocker in the market and installed that. It works very good and i have no wifi drops anymore. I talked to the developer and he's very responsive to requests and bugfixes he put up a donate version so if you like the app please donate.
PS: I'm not the developer.

Does not work I tried that only softlocker seems to work correctly.
Thanks for the tips. It seems really absurd but the solution was to set in NEVER the idle of wifi settings...that's the same tip to use the Tune...but in silence mode
Thanks.
ps: I set the encryption back to WPA and all works fine

ok......Ive had 48 hours of wifi lags/intermittent connection issues...It was really making my archos 70
purchase begin to taste sour.....
I was toying with the idea of upgrading my router firmware....or possibly changing to a new router as was suggested
by another forum poster....
Well.....Ive just had 1 hour of continuous dolphin based web surfing with not a single problem...
This is from expert "Spawn" found in another forum:
Forum:
Bug/problem - "disable powersave" doesn't work
Heres a tip
After you have setup the connection and connected via wifi, then goto the wifi manager under settings, click and hold on the connected wifi entry, a menu will appear where you have an option to edit the entry, select to edit, you will find the disabled powersafe option are not checked, check it and save the wifi entry - it now saves the option and keep wifi alive also during screen off.
This has worked great forme so far for a couple of hours. Will let you know tomorrow if this issue is solved...
well...of course, this needs to be done manually each time you launch your a70
Archos needs to fix that disconnect powersave switch in the next version of the firmware...
Let me know if this helps....

I tried this above and it does not work for me.
I want to listen to TuneIn Streaming Radio, also when I switch off the screen.
But then always WIFI is dropping.
I also downloaded
the app
WIFI keep alive
but this also does not work with my Archos 70.
My Firmware version is 2.3.26 (Android 2.2.1)
Is there any newer custom firmware that works better than this without WIFI dropping ?
Any good tutorial to root my Archos from my firmware version to a better custom firmware version ?
I only have the WIFI dropping, when the screen goes off... so there must be somehow a fix for this maybe
via another app ?
Many thanks in advance.

i have a galaxy s and ever since installing firmware jvs my wifi sleep policy hasnt worked at all. when i have sleep set to never the wifi reconnects every 59 seconds without fail. when never when plugged in is selected its the same. when turn off when screen turns off is selected the wifi doest turn off with the screen, or at all as far as i can see. infact this is the only setting where the wifi doesnt reconnect all the time (need to test this further to be sure). i think roms are based on the stock gingerbread so maybe its that thats broken?
I'm using Dell streak 10 pro tablet now, and also have same issue as you, you could set the wifi IP manually(static IP), don't by dhcp dynamically.
I'm also finding app to fix the dhcp issue.
Open up Rom Manager and click "Fix Permissions" let it do its thing then restart. That worked for me.
Im using na 16gb wifi only flyer
i was using stock gingerbread
and updated to honeycomb build
when i was using gingerbread my wifi connection was fine
but after i updated ( i tried every honeycomb roms in here)
wifi connection gets disconnect and re connect every few minute
i found out that when i set the password (router) this problems
continue.. When i disable the password wifi connection had
no problem.. But i need to set up the passworld..
Those anyone know how to solve this problem?
Hey. I had the same issue as well. I just recently got mine and I searched and found this. I'm not taking credit for this since it's not mine, but it helped me fix my issues.
1. Go to Settings > Wireless & networks > Wi-Fi settings.
2. Long press the network you are currently connected to.
3. Press Modify network.
4. Scroll to IP settings and select Static.
5. Keep everything else the same, and press Save.
Someone also said that he was using an older router, like me, and so he bought a new one and it worked. But this is a FAR cheaper fix for those of us without $$.
