Hello XDA community,
I have some problems with my X10 Mini since the 2.1 upgrade.
Everything was fine in 1.6 but since 2.1 I can't use the Wifi connection.
I tried 2 wifi routers and same problems on both :
The connections is established, I can surf on the net and use the market for some minuts and then I get a lot of timeouts. Sometimes it can work during 4 minutes but not more, Turning the wifi on/off doesn't help.
The connection don't drop and the x10 is still connected to the router but when pinging the x10 for 20 minutes I got a 68% loss.
I tried to wipe using the normal way and using xRecovery and still the same problem.
I tried to enable the wifi N same problem.
Since the installation of xRecovery and the full factory wipe it's worse, I only get one ping and then timeout ...
I'm looking for a 1.6 updat.zip file because the flashtool is not working. I tried on 2 computers and the xperia is not detected.
I tried the SEUS and PC companion but the apps sais that I already have the latest version.
Any ideas ? Anything I'm missing ?
Thanks a lot for your help !
I'm on 2.1 update1
And Build 2.0.A.0.504
have you tried playing w the advanced setting in your phone?
is your connection WEP secured or WPA? or without a password?
After updating to 2.1 I also have one problem but not with WiFi but when I'm reciving call my green slider hangs up and red slider answers the call...and after every call screen is empty for 7-8 sec...

What do you mean by advanced settings ?
I tried both WEP and WPA same issue.

Settings/Wireless & Networks/Wi-Fi Settings then press the menu button and you'll get Scan and Advanced.
sometimes using a static IP helps at the beginning.

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

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.

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 moving out of the wifi range and back in the range in about several minutes, The saved connection shows disabled after several re-trys. Can be reconnected manualy by tap and re-enable the saved connection.
Do we have a solution to this? I tried to serach on the net but no fix.
u can try blade wifi fix from market. That might do it. Its free.

i have the same problem and installed blade wifi fix but it's still not fix
What about doing a backup and reflashing the ROM? Sometimes rebooting fixes things like this.
Try this method of backing up your data and apps: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=11394960&postcount=716
Also, there is a 4.4 update. Check it out. Wolf said that he has the camcorder working now. It isn't 720, but better than Illusion. Check it out: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=945264
Unfortunately this problem still exists in the latest 4.5.7. Bladewififix can't bring the disabled connection back, which was set automatically when the connection is losted. (especially when sleeping for more that 10 minutes, the saved connection shows disabled). Have to manual re-enable the saved connection.

How did you manage to fix this? I have the same problem.
I've installed the Blade WIFI fix app but it doesn't work most of the time even though it says attempting to fix.
same here.
I use the stock 2.1 rom and wifi is ok, FreeX10 Beta 4 and the wifi works and then after a whille becomes disconnected.
I tried Blade Wifi fix, wifi fixer, all from the android market and they all fix it maybe once or twice then wifi disconnects again.
For now, I have added power control widget to the homescreen and disable then enable to get wifi working.
I am using the Wifi to turn off with screen.
Bizzarely I have a ZTE Blade before running 2.2.1 and the wifi always worked flawlessly. Weird.
Wonder if its anything to do with WEP or WPA2?

Exactly the same problem.
I think its a cynanogen mod settings that was set to automatically disconnect or something like that. I can;t seem to find it.
The problem is, wifi is slow and constantly disconnects then you have to connect manually to it, which takes a while. Hopefully it would be fixed in the next update, because going online is just vital for our androids.
Check this
Thanks for the link. My problem isn't connecting to an enterprise network. It does connect but after a few hours will stay disconnected if your using WPA or WPA2. Using WEP (64bit or 128bit) the problem is still there. Only is works a few hours more before disconnecting. The only way to fix it is to disable Wifi and enable it.
Tried ZTE Blade wifi fix and all the others from the market. Same problem.
So definately some issue with the rom/wifi settings.
It's a phone issue.. oddly the x10 hates some routers.. it's is possible that you are having -wifi- clashes at work.
Does it do this only at work?
if yes.. then it's the router at work.
:severe edit
I'm using blade wifi fix.. no issue's what so ever.
wifi works well for my FreeX10 beta4
Well for me its good, but when u leave phone idle, it sadly disconnects to my modem and I have to reconnect, which takes like a minute.
It was fine before I switched to freex10 and its the only issue I found so far with it. I think I saw one of the settings in cyanogen... IM not sure. Help please

I know that X10 doesnt like hidden SSID. I have to create another SSID just for the X10. LOL.

I have to agree - I was having the same issue, the phone would drop out when it went to sleep and then wouldn't wake back up. I installed the blade wifi fix and it seems to bee all good.
Hi,
I have got a new MTNL 3G connection (I am from India), and am trying to use the USB Tether option to browse and download from the internet. However, when I leave my phone / computer to idle, the connection drops. I was earlier on Froyo (2.2) and am now on CM 7 version 6.5.5.
Does anyone have the same problem? Is there a solution?
I have tried keeping the screen awake, screen timeout options etc. Have tried PDAnet and Auto USB Tether too.
Any help will be appreciated
Thanks

try settings>wireless & networks>wifi settings>hit the menu button and choose advanced>wi-fi sleep policy>never
before i did this myself my wifi kept turning itself off whenever the screen turns off. im not sure if this will work for mobile data but it wont hurt to give it a try
U can try to connect the internet via dialup connection. I had this problem too.
N u can also access ur sd card with internet connection on which is not possible with usb tethering

I am using USB tether and not wifi. Dial up will not give me 3G speeds, and I am on cyanogen CM7, so don't know if dial up is possible. Net seems to be working fine right now. Maybe it's an area specific problem. But would want to know if anyone has figured out a solution.
Thanks

I had this issue on Airtel 3G and CM7. It is fully fixed in the GB roms based on stock.
Yes dialup will give u 3g speed bt dnt knw it works wid cm7 or not bt i guess it should just check dat if ur system is detecting ur phones modem den it will surely works.

wifi direct
Im having another problem with wifi but its with resurrection rom 2.3. Donno how to configure wifi direct or what explorer to use to send via wifi. All i can find is a tick box that says wifi direct.
I'd flash a stock ROM. Then you'll see if its a problem with your current rom or not.
Sent from my next
Yeah, I've had same kind of problems with a stock ROM. Now the WiFi has been working just fine but sometimes I had the same problem as you do. No idea why it does it.
I have a not rooted galaxy, and I have the same prob. It mostly happens when you turn on/off wifi directly from settings instead of going to settings --> connections --> wifi etc. (ics feature)
I solve the problem with rebooting my phone...
Only takes 30 seconds.
Hope i helped!

Hi, Thanks for your reply.
Can I ask what you mean by a stock ROM - do you mean one that is not insecure rather the original?
I fix it by turning airplane mode on and off. But it doesn't occur after I changed to a custom rom

Dial *#*#526#*#* wait for some
time until you see ‘process was
successful’ on the screen. You
can repeat this whenever you see
this problem.
If that does not work, Search Google playstore for an app called FIX MY WIFI. It's a paid app but
I've tried it in the past and it worked after reboot.
Good luck
Hello everyone i faced the same problem and solved it by an app called wifi fix which is made by amid M Geha :good:
