i have noticed that turning the screen off while wifi is on makes the wifi stop working (cant use the internet) , i have to turn the wifi off and then back on to make it work, is it an issue with the rom?
Settings>Wireless & Networks>Wi-Fi Settings>press Menu button>Advanced>Wi-Fi sleep policy>Never
tried that, still the same problem

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
I upgraded my X10i to 2.1 and my Wifi is not working. I have confirmed that it is not the router etc. since the wifi works on my PC and my Wife's X10 mini pro.
When I turn on the wifi on my X10 it scans fine and finds my wireless router no problem. When I connect (using my WPA password) everything looks fine and the wireless indicator appears in the statusbar. HOWEVER, when I try to connect to the internet via the browser/market/facebook it returns a message saying NO NETWORK FOUND (no internet connection via wifi) !!
I have already tried -
*reset to factory settings
*reinstall of 2.1 via SEUS
*re-connecting to wireless router with WPA password.
Nothing works!!
Can anybody help?
Is there any way to reset the wifi on my phone?
hi, i had this problem after the upgrade, i changed to the name of my router and then it was fine. try that.
UPDATE - I can get the wireless connection on my X10 to work when it is not encrypted (ie with WEP, WPA etc.)
Now I really don't know what is going on....
Anybody out there to give some advice? pleeeeeeeeaaaase
Thanks
nvm sorry I see that you did every thing.
is just weird had that prob when having nordic now i don't
try installing 1.6 and see if it's the fw or the phone
Sometimes try adding connection manually, then the wifi suddenly detects it from that point onwards..
After i upgraded the firmware to 2.1, my wifi just stops working. When i turn wifi function on, there is wifi logo appearing on the top of the screen and never detects any wifi access point. Anyone knows what is going on? Is that a bug of 2.1? as wifi was working fine with 1.6

I think the 1st time it needs a little push. Try turning WiFi off, back out of settings, back in turn on, go to wi-fi settings and manually select. That worked for me. Had similar with bluetooth.
I have the same issue with 2.1 upgrade and Wifi + WPA2 router protection!!
Wep protection works fine! but for me is not ok it is a weak wifi protection I need WPA2!
please help
I read that wifi fixer may work however I cannot test it untill I reset my modem or switch to Wep....
can some one test wifi fixer? thanks.

Hello!
Going from the official 318 2.2 (EU) to 351 2.2.2 (also EU) it seems that the WiFi sleep doesn't work anymore, WiFi never sleeps regardless of settings. I've done a FR but no difference. Also tried with the App "WiFi Sleep" without success. The reason for me wanting the WiFi sleep is that it consumes less battery than UMTS because of the range to the router.
Has anyone else noticed this and is there a fix that works w/o root?
/Per
Same problem here. No solution found. Tried my wifi fix, without success. Very annoying problem.
Fixed. With advancend wifi lock. Wifi goes to sleep when screen turns off.
The problem now is wifi does not wake up when the screen turns on.
I do not know which is the best option.
Hi guys
I been using foliomod 1.4 for some time and something strange happens. Sometimes it goes to "sleep" mode and when i try to wake it up it shows black screen.
That not the issue because when i reboot it works fine, the problem is after that the wifi detects the network and when it try to connect automaticly refuses the connection, and then it loops trying to connect, so i see wifi searching -> wifi off - > wifi searching -> wifi off.
Even with reboot keeps doing this, sometimes reboot fixes but its rare.
Should i try the old 1.3 driver? does it fix this kinda issue? tkz
Hello,
i've been using cm7 for a while
it has the SOD problem but the wifi works well ,give it a try
Foliomod 1.4 is my favourite rom but it has wifi problems (wifi hangs or doesn't connect). But also Folio3xx rom seems to have the same problem .
Here's the outline of the problem:
I'm able to use the wifi to browse the internet and whatever. I turn the screen off and wait maybe half an hour. When I turn it back on, it says it's still connected to my wifi network, but I can't go to any websites. When I look at my Elixir widget, I see that the signal strength is 0%. The only way to fix it is to turn off the wifi and turn it back on, since there's no disconnect button.
Does anyone else have this problem, and is there a solution?
It's like the phone is half asleep and was about to disconnect from the wifi network, but stopped somewhere in the middle.
Seems to be a major problem for a select few on gingerbread roms. I suffer from it on DSC 0.65. A workaround for it is to use WiFi Reassociate (free on the market). For more information look here:
