Wifi not working after unlocking phone. - HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Unable to use wifi in any build of android after unlocking my hd2. I get edge from att but I can't access the market with it. It connects to wifi but when I try to add my google account it times out and says I need to connect to wifi.

first of all, please post in right forum: q n a forum would be quite suited for these QUESTIONS. and it all depends on which build you're using, and if you've updated the bcm4329.ko and tun.ko files as to if wifi will work or not

Well the first build i tried was mattcfroyosense1.7ppp, and it was working fine. I then unlocked the phone and when I booted into android I was unable to do anything with wifi. I did replace the wifi modular files.

id suggest deleting your android folder and remaking one

I have problems with wifi too I dont think is fast...like in all the build that ive try when I use wifi and try to download something the speed is really slow... I remember that in the iphone I could get 800 kb/second when downloading a file.
is it because wifi in android is that slow? or the phone can't download that fast?

Lol! I get 1,6mb/s download with wifi,and like 2500kb/s upload.....so must be the build you use.....not a problem of android.

Is that doing the speed test thing or downloading the actual file? cause when Sometimes I do the speed test and my phone says is download speed is like 5-8 MB and like 1 MB of uploading speed.
now when I download the file the speed is really slow.

well i got the market working...but now the wifi just says error when trying to turn it on.

Ok so for anyone else who might get into this weird situation. I changed the password on my router to WEP instead of WPA and now it works perfectly fine on the phone.

share 3G via WiFi?

I thought I saw a .cab file here somewhere that would allow you to bridge the 3G/EDGE connection to the WiFi connection so I can share my 3G over WiFi to laptop or whatever.
Anyone seen this? I cant remember the name, thought it was something like WMBridge or something.
Thanks

internet connection sharing will allow you to share your 3G over bluetooth or USB to your laptop !!
and now that I think about it you can almost certainly go through the arduous and difficult task of getting activesync to connect over an adhoc wifi connection, once that is done you will be able to use the phone as a 3G modem for your laptop.

u can do it tht way but its hard, and requires a registry hack, which to be fair doesnt work all that well, disconns after a couple of mins at best, bluetooth is the way to go if u want wireless connecton, although i use the lead for security, u can use the 3g conn as a modem, but then if u like us use tmob wb and walk then u cnt use ur data package.
hope this helps

The app is called wmWifiRouter. Looks like they just came out with a new version the 10th. Forget bluetooth, its not secured at all, and only lets you share with one device. With wmwifirouter you can share with many. See the link below.

excellent that is exactly what I was looking for, I will play with it today and see if I can get it to work.
Thanks

Should be a simple matter of copying the exe to your device and running it. It takes care of all the registry settings, starting up Internet Sharing, keeping the connection alive, and with the latest version you can even put the unit to sleep and your connection will stay alive. About the only thing it doesn't do is set up a peer-to-peer profile with a fixed IP address, but the thread above walks you through that. Make sure you set the profile to use WPA encryption (NOT WEP or 'open') and set a password.

I finally got around to trying this and have had no luck. I followed the directions as best as I could tell. Anyone verify if this works on the Athena? I used to have the method set up manually but hadn't set it up again since updating to AP3.0. This would be much handier... if works!

The directions are confusing because the newer method was grafted onto the same thread as the older method. So it's hard to tell what's what. I put about an hour into this but made no progress. The exe file doesn't appear to do anything on the Athena...

Sorry, just saw your response as I wrote mine. Here is what I did:
1. set up an ad hoc network on my Athena. IP address 192.168.0.1 (another place saide 192.168.0.7--tried both)
2. Set up on my client (MacBook Pro). A connection was established.
3. Ran the exe file -- nothing happened. One comment said to deactivate the network before running. I did this in various degrees with no success.
4. Also opened up the Internet Sharing applet and tried to connect manually -- "USB cable is not connected."
Clearly I'm missing something here. It would be very handy to have this capability. Can you clarify??
Not sure why you are having a problem - I unzipped the zip, transfered the exe to the athena and it ran on the first try after first setting up the ad-hoc wifi connection (settings, connections, wi-fi, network adapters tab, IEEE..., use specific IP address in the 192.168.x.x range; then go to the other tab and set up an ad-hoc connection).
I had an even worse experience. Everytime I ran the exe, my Athena locked up, needing a complete reset each time.
I gave up in the end .
I have got other methods to work using Mortscipts, but it does seem like something that would be well worth someones time sorting out for the good of us all.
Have you tried the latest version of wmWifiRouter? The developer released a new version of it earlier this month. Its on version 0.8 now.

Been testing it for the last hour, and even using right now as i type this. It is attached to the attachment, download and install the APK. Enjoy guys

added to the root thread post, thanks for the info bro.
This has worked consistently for me since install.
It also seems to not need any sort of special install procedure, you can just drop the apk and install from astro or whatever file manager you use.
works perfectly posting this reply using the connection dowload 1.76mb/s upload 1.23mb/s

You actually don't need a file manager to install just download it from your slide and it will ask if you want to install after it is done loading to your memory card.(Of course you need ROOT and su permission) Thanks!

Huh? The wifi tether app creates an access point that any wifi-capable device can connect to. And as [most, if not all] Android handsets have wifi capabilities they should be able to join that access point to snag the wireless connection.

I thought so too until I tried it with my G1.. something about adhoc modem won't allow android to android connection. I'm so jealous I wish I had an evo now.

Yeah I've tried tethering on my own MT3GS and connecting to it via my sister's MT3GS and the network doesn't show up.
thanks for checking. I hope they find away to do it on ours soon.
Ok, when I try to install while on my phone it says there is a problem parsing the package... ?
NM, it was the wrong APK that had the same name, just ._ at the beginning that I was trying.
By the way, thanks for the app (OP and peeps who made it).
On my MT3GS it is working great! Also running the Teamslide Nonsense ROM, just put the apk on the sdcard and installed.
I'm on OSX and it doesn't actually show up as a network, it shows up as a p2p connection. Not sure if that would make a difference for people that might be having trouble, but basically if you get the app installed and the tether started, it might just be computer settings.

You can always find the most recent version of Android Wifi Tether at: http://code.google.com/p/android-wifi-tether. The most current version is 2.0.5-pre8 as of this post. Use that, not the one in this thread's original post!

Has anyone else noticed the wifi tether breaking on eugenes rc6 and teamslide1.71 after flashing the dopio kernel? Cyanogen rc1 seems to reboot on all. It seems like all ROMs that have modified kernel's have caused wifi tether to not work. I am running CR's Full OTA with wifi tether working. After flashing any dopio kernel the thether no longer works (I have tried 2_0_5 pre3, 7 and 8).
I just updated my girlfriend's 3G Slide to the latest CM build (6.0.0) and Wifi Tether is causing reboots for her as well. My Google-fu is wearing thin.
I tried the built in USB tethering as well and regardless of the driver I use once USB tethering is turned on it can't find the driver.
Not sure if it's connected.
Same driver issue is happening with PDANet, on 2 laptops. One running Windows 7 Ultimate 64 bit, the other running Vista Home Premium 32 bit.
This big issue is with WifiTether rebooting the phone. Hopefully someone can come up with a fix for it.
(I've also tried every version of WifiTether as well, happens with each version no matter what.)

rooted tethering problems?

I have noticed that ever since I rooted my Thunderbolt I cannot tether. All devices will connect to my phone(other phones, computers, xbox, etc) but they cannot open a web browser. It used to work on the hotspot ap that came with the phone. The only thing I can think of is that on the stock app, I could change the security to wpa/wpa2/wep. On this new app I cannot change, am I grasping at something that isnt there or is there something else that needs to be done?
help me pleas,e, my neighbors internet wont be there forever. , .
I've been rooted for some time and it may be coincidence but sense the last 4g outage last week my tethering has "limited access" wired or wireless. I'm using liquid 3.0.2 built in wired/wireless hotspot. wifi apps I've installed don't work either now??? Help
Go here http://code.google.com/p/android-wifi-tether/ and try the newest version thats available. Also in settings check the router fix option.
Also you can try open garden from the market..

I noticed that the android wifi tether app states that it only works for 3G and 2G. I wonder if this is just a "canned" statement? Does anyone know, for sure, if it works for 4G tethering?
Yeah I did, neither the old or new one are getting more than limited access. Know idea what may have changed on the PC side? Nothing new or changed? Just the outrage on Verizons end last week. I'm baffled. I have tried a couple other Rome with the same results. Sucks pdanet is a third of the speed.
There's a bug with CM7 if your using it, I'm having the same problem. I have a none stock kernel with it but I can't using wifi-tether or the built in tether. Makes me want to switch to my sense ROM. :/

If you're running CM7 set your built in tethering to OPEN for security and run this version of wireless tether use the same name as the built in one and it'll work. I finally got it working a few minutes ago.
Thanks will give it a try when I get home.

It works on my 4g, I tested it with a speed test website and was getting 5mbs.

I dont know what I did but my hotspot can only hit .25 mbps now according to speedtest.net
I then watched the speed on the hotspot and it shows the same
Its been like this for a week now, does any one know the settings layout on the hotspot? Are theer any that could affect this?
I have rebooted my phone, switched airplane on and off. I then tested the speed on my phone and it is getting 4g, so the problem is with the hotspot.

You rock JRocker23! Always helpful - a Thx is in order. Of course the Market QR code returns "No Results Found"
Try changing the type of connection to Infastructure or Ad-Hoc. I don't remember which one it was, but one of these fixed a very similar issue for me.

Downloading speed problem?

I have tried to search the forum but I still can't find what I'm looking for.
It seems there're some problems with my downloading speed. My download speed always reach max speed when download gameloft data (1gb takes only ~20 minutes), but aside from that, it's slow. Wifi or 3G, even a 10mb file downloading from a file hosting service like mediafire takes ~30 minutes to complete, if it doesn't stuck.
I'm using Hyperdroid with Siyah kernel. But really, I've got this problem since stock and it won't disappear no matter which rom I tried.
Can someone at least tell me what is wrong? It's frustrated to have to connect to PC everytimes I want to grab something from the internet.

And no idea how the heck the connection got interrupted, I think most of the time it does (otherwise it would continued to download), and only on my phone. When it doesn't, the speed is really slow. Trying another browser doesn't solve it as I tried some of them and the results are the same.
what does speed test on wifi give u?
More information the better
try a speedtest..
sometimes download data depend on server too..
some server give you highspeed, and some server slower..
it should be normal if you normally download on same server with the average speed..
i download data via gaming also fast than download via mediahosting
Just tried some. It gave me 5.12Mps on download speed and 0.57 on upload speed. And the server is in my country, chose another server will give me a connection error. Maybe that explains something, I get max download speed with gameloft data downloading because there's gameloft server in my country. But then comes the question, why downloading speed from server outside my country is so slow (and usually stucks) on my phone? While using the same connection on my PC gives me usual speed (and by "usual" I mean it's really fast).
So the 5.12Mbps your getting.... what connection is that from??
I have a 50Mbps line and get 10Mbps - 24Mbps depending on where i connect to and signal strength etc... over WiFi
I wouldn't say that's bad if its from a 10Mbps line for example ... what were you expecting / how much worse is it than your PC?
On my PC it's about 10-15. The slowest is about 5-6 I think. And it's about the fastest my phone can get.
Sorry for bumping the thread, But I have the same problem
Very low wifi-speeds. Perhaps not rom related
On my computer I get around 16mb/sec, And I used to get that also on my phone. But now the speed is around 2mb/sec. Please somebody know what the problem can be??

No Internet after CM9 flash

I have just flashed the following rom http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1692201. This is a WIFI ONLY device, no network operators or anything like that...
The flashing process went smoothly and all seems well, except that when I connect to a wireless access point, I don't get an internet connection. It connects to the wifi ok, but no internet.
If I go back to my nandroid backup the internet works fine. There aren't any posts in the rom thread about this issue so I suppose it must be an issue with my device rather than the rom. I assumed flashing the rom would change all my settings to those of the rom, so I don't understand how this can be so.
Any thoughts??

I'm the developer for this rom and I've never heard of any issues like this before. Do you have a player 5 or player 4? Does everything else work fine? It might be worth doing a wiping data, cache and dalvik cache and then re-flashing the rom.

Hi Supermaster34, thanks for the reply, yes, I have spent a fair amount of time reading through your thread and came to the conclusion that this was an as yet unseen problem.
I have a player 5 international. I have reset and wiped everything there is to reset and wipe and I have reinstalled after trying this too.
Before flashing your rom I was/am using eryigits gingerbread rom and I replaced the wpa_supplicant file so that I could access ad hoc networks. I don't know whether this could be relevant or not.. I would have thought that flashing would replace that sort of thing anyway but I thought I'd mention it just in case something not flashed is affected by doing that.
Hope you have some cunning ideas....

I also have a player 5 international and I can't seem to recreate the problem. Maybe the issue is with your player but I doubt it. Try flashing my CM9 rom (link is in my signature) to see if wifi works with that. The wpa_supplicant you replaced would have been replaced with the ICS one upon installation. If you downloaded the rom from the team remics website then the download may have become corrupted for some reason. It might be worth re-downloading and flashing again.

Ok, I'll try re-downloading and I'll also try the CM9 rom... I'll do that tomorrow and then post back here when I find out what happens...
Until tomorrow then..........
Ok, I've tried your CM9 rom and it's the same.. It connects to wifi but there is no internet
Trying the freshly downloaded remics rom now...
No joy...It's the same
What could it be? It must be something on my player that doesn't get flashed (on the internal sd card maybe?) which interferes with the newly flashed files regarding internet... right???
Oh, when I go to wipe dalvik cache I get 'E:unknown volume for path [/sd-ext]' Then I click 'yes - wipe' and it says it is wiped. Is that normal?
restoring my nandroid backup........ and........
Yep, internet is usable again....
What's going on?
I have now also tried with this cm9 rom : Paranoid Android
and I get the same result!!!
Someone else in that thread seemed to have the same problem but no-one replied to his message.
So it's not your roms Supermaster34. It could be cm9 or maybe ics itself, but what is different with my player compared to the hundreds of other people who don't seem to be having any problems?
Formatted internal sdcard and still no joy.....
could it be something to do with the router or encryption being used (I'm on a work network so god knows what's going on at that end of things)? gingerbread can connect through it but cm9 can't? I need to try another wireless access point...
when i had cm9, i only could get internet on my home network, which was secured.
at school, it didnt work on their unsecured network

I think it is far more likely to be a network thing.. Something about my work network and your school network has a quirk that cm9 doesn't know how to deal with. My work network is secured with wpa2, so it probably isn't an encryption issue.
We also have an access point secured with wep which I'll try out tomorrow (same internet coming through it though)..
I'll also try cm7 and see if that connects and I think I'll try flashing a fresh gingerbread as well which should work seeing as my nandroid backup works (just to check it isn't a flashing issue or something).
Next week I'll have access to another access point with a different internet connection (which I'm actually in control of myself), I'll try that one out too...
My oh my, so much to do..............
I dont thing it has anything to do with rom..i have similar problem on another device ..my mein internet is over 3G (HSPA+ i have unlimited data) so i use tehtering on android phone to give internet to my other devices,and it works fine for SGP 5.0 ,laptop ,pc and S7 tablet..they all see conection and internet works..BUT i bought nexus 7 and on my huge disapoinment it could not connect to internet on same connection (and i dont have other) ,consider nexus 7 is wifi only i did not what to do,it sees connection but no internet,then i try different roms all the same no internet.
So i connect laptop via usb tehtering to android phone and via program called connectify create infrastructure hot spot on laptop and then nexus 7 net works ,but my laptop must be on.

Well, I tried flashing a fresh gingerbread and internet works fine (as it does on my gingerbread nandroid backup)... So it isn't a flashing issue
I also flashed CM7 and internet works fine....
So it seems this issue is a CM9 issue (as it appears on all variants of CM9 that I can find).
From all the evidence, it seems to me that there is something about the internet connection at my work that CM9 cannot deal with. It is not a wifi issue as such, as I can connect to wifi, I just get no internet connection.
I haven't actually checked to see whether I am able to connect to a different internet connection elsewhere, I'm assuming I will be able to as hundreds of others seem to be having no problem at all with CM9. I'll test this next week when I have access to another connection.
I work at a school, so just as iurnait a couple of posts back, it is a school network that is giving me problems and school networks can have all sorts of quirky filters etc attached to them to 'protect' the students from who knows what. For example I know that some websites are blocked by open DNS on my work network - is there an issue with CM9 and this sort of filtering?? I have no idea what else there is on the network here as the network admin is rather unfriendly and unhelpful.
DZonikg: it seems that your problem may be different, as mine is rom dependent and yours isn't.
It's a shame as I was really looking forward to my Ice cream sandwich!!
maybe this is related to the brand of router used?
it seems like some unsecured locations work while others dont. i was at a supermarket and i connected fine but i couldnt get it to connect at another place.
Mmmm-) what brand of router is at your school? i have netgear at home and i can connect.
or it may do with the channel of the router. i dont have cm9 on my device but try using WiFi Analyzer (Play Store) to see what channel your connection is.
I had this issue with both paranoid and supermasters cm9 Rom.
Actually I sent you a pm supermaster back in sept about this issue. The device would connect and the wifi icon would show the bars but they would be greyed out.
Since I don't have the post count to post in the dev thread I kept checking back on the threads to see if anyone one mentioned it but the guy in the paranoid thread got ignored and that thread seems dead. And no one mentioned it in supers CM9 thread. So I just said fug it and slapped on my stock ROM.
Hang on a minute...... I've got internet !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Whatever happened???
I was trying to update my media library but apparently you cant with ICS and so i had to 'clear data' in the media storage app so I did this and rebooted... and as if by magic I was connected to the internet. When I rebooted I was already connected to wifi (but obviously with no internet connection).
Since then I've got everything set up and done a nandroid backup rebooting again and I still have the internet.
I really don't get how doing this would have solved the problem...but something has solved it... Maybe something changed on the network...who knows....??
Im away from work for a week from tomorrow, so I won't know if it is still working until then.... I'll tell you if I can still connect in a week....
Try McDonald's a dunkin donuts if you live near one. They have free wifi if you want to test it out. If you saying is working I'll give it another shot.

I had a good connection for a couple of hours and then it just stopped! I cleared the media storage app again and rebooted and I have internet again!!!
I still can't believe it can be a fix - it must be an odd coincidence... If it works one more time I'll believe it...
Well it happened again but I'm afraid to say that no matter what I did I couldn't get the internet to connect again, so it must just have been a coincidence...
The good news is that I am now connected to the internet on another connection (far away from work) and have had no difficulties whatsoever. So I'm certain that it is some quirk with my work network. Although the fact that I can connect to it with gingerbread suggests that rather than it being a network problem, it is an incompatibility with ics or cm9. Can someone fix it please?
One quirk of CM9 on Galaxy Players is that it has MUCH poorer wifi reception than Gingerbread. If your wifi connection was at all weak, you'll get connection issues with CM9.

I don't get Wi-Fi connection issues at all,I just get internet connection issues. The signal is fine and it connects to the wap with no problems at all.
