Hi,
so kernel sources are released. Is there any fix for hero's wifi problems? I mean dropping connection to AP. It is so annoying, I tried to do everything: change channel, mode, encryption... Nothing helped. It is Linksys wrt160nl. The same applies to other networks (some public hot spots).
I never had this problem with my Linksys WRT54GL...

Could you paste your wifi settings? (mode, encryption mode, channel)
Using the Modaco custom ROM 2.8 (never had problems with modaco ROM and generic)
Router: Linksys WRT54GL running Tomato 1.25 firmware
Wireless Mode: Access Point
B/G Mode: Mixed
Channel: 1 - 2.412 Ghz (try a free one)
Security: WPA / WPA2 Personal
Encryption: AES
Group Key Renewal: 3600 seconds
No Mac Filter
Under Advanced Settings I changed "Transmit Power" to 251mW for a better signal, the rest are default values.
Try to update your router firmware
Are you alone with this problem?

In case you haven't done so yet. Check out the Wifi Sleep Policy (access by pressing menu when you are in wifi menu). Normally the Wifi is turned off then the screen is turned off which can cause problem.
Similar problem with netgear wnr2000

Hi got similar problem with my router netgear wnr2000.what i found funny is that when i reset the router, the phone connects perfectly to the router, but after abt 24hrs or so, it fails to connect.even if i reboot my phone, or reset the connection on phone.fails to connect.it will only connect when i reboot the router. i will try the 'aes' encryption n see if that helps.will update if it works
Thanks for your replies. Please could other members share their experiences, used options and solutions. This issue is too common to simply forget it. I am trying to find some kind of pattern or special options, it requires.
i dont have a problem with wifi apart from the wont find or connect to n-range device other wise i use wifi all the time it never drops, on stock orange uk firmware
I have a Sitecom WL-173 router.
I cannot connect at all. I can, but only with no or WEP security. That is no option for me.
When I use WPA or WPA2 my Hero does view my network, but does not connect.
I called HTC about this problem. He told me that they do not support all routers. He could not tell me which they support and which not.

I also have the same problem. The way to solve it is to change the above setting to 'G' only. Not mixed/Hybrid.
Cheers!
I have not had any problems trying to connect to WiFi networks, until i went over to my mates place where he has the Virgin 50MB B-Band and also a D-Link wifi-N router, and my Hero could no see the network at all, even though his iPhone connected straight away.

I'm sorry, it hurt even more when i was sitting there pissed off that my Hero wouldnt connect to the Wifi!!!
I have Virgin 50meg at home no problem at all, went to my GF's who has basic Virgin cable 10meg on netgear G and would not connect at all.
No idea why, as it should be all fine!
I have the same problem. It is so ****in annoying. My router is a Linksys WRT54G with Tomato firmware v1.25. Router is in "G only mode", WPA-2 PSK-AES security, I've set a static local IP for the phone, the phone's wireless is set to always ON... I basically tried everything I could think of. Ended up rooting the phone and installing Modaco 2.9... but didn't change anything. The only way I can get it work again when it drops is shut the Wi-Fi off then on...
Worst of all this is the problem seems widespread (but not universal)... What the **** does HTC think putting a ****in smartphone on the market with defective Wi-Fi... This is non-sense.
I really hope someone comes up with a fix or HTC updates this... otherwise we might want to start thinkin bout class action.

Is it a router setup or a Hero setting?
Pleaes explain if it's one of the options
probs here too ...
Linksys WAP54G v3.1
vs
HTC Hero
was working perfectly for first month or so, but has been getting worse and worse. ie, for a few weeks it would see the wifi but would usually fail to connect. now I'm lucky if it can see it at all!
have reflashed the wap with dd-wrt and experimented with a lot of settings. no diff.
have reflashed the hero with hero21 comunitry v1.6. no diff. (and also latest radio)
it just starts and stops when it feels like it.
oh, and my eeepc works fine on the same wifi, so I know it's not some wap screw up.
tried every tip I can find like 'use mixed mode' or 'g only', etc etc.
I am starting to think it's a hardware fault?
Same problem
Siemens Gigaset Tiscali modem with wpa psk2 tkip and T-mobile hero rom.
Sees the modem and connects with security first time but then says 'remembered out of range' on wifi settings but interestingly in wifi buddy it constantly has the syncing symbol next to the network.
Really annoying.
I've tried WEP and security off, wireless g only etc etc.
I have problems too but seems different to yours... but who knows : in fact i can't connect to wifi when the SSID is masked. Even if - or course - i put manuualy the ssid before with the good wep key. It happens on a livebox ( orange box )... but if i press the button to show the wifi network - it has to be made when you connect a device for the first time on this box - then it connects to the network... else it tells me that the network is out of range...
So does the wifi on hero has problem with masked SSID ? To compare i never had this problem - on the same box - with the touch diamond and the touch hd... and at home, not masking the ssid, the connection is ok without doing anything.
Ciao

I had the same problem with a Zyxel 660 router. I was able to connect to the wifi (WPA/PSK enable) but there was no data transfer possible.
So I updated the Radio ROM to the 63.18.55.06JU_6.35.08.29 version and it solved the problem.
Hi,
while I was using an Ipod Touch, I always have created adhoc networks via Windows Vista Home with internet access for devices in this network.
My Ipod Touch never have had (and actually doesnt have) any problems finding and connecting to this network, but my Htc Hero doesnt even find it after I typed in SSID, password etc. manually.
am I making any mistakes or why doesnt this work?
greetings,
ben

I have a Belkin wireless router and had to disable the "11n" functions and go strictly with "11g". Until I did that my Hero wouldn't detect the network. After making the router setting changes I also had to disable the mobile network on the phone before it would see my network. Then I entered my security key and all was fine. Restarted the mobile network on the phone and it's automatically connected every time I'm in range. Don't know if that may be your problem or not... but good luck with it.
well, I dont have any problems connecting to my router via wifi. this works fine. the problem just exists with my laptop's adhoc network :<
thx anyway.
The HTC Hero doesn't allow connecting to ad-hoc networks. Its been disabled. If u have sdk, connect it and check tiwlan.ini & wpa_supplicant.conf file. Modify it to enable ad-hoc network and again save back..
Hi Guys. Need a little help.
Scenario: I have a wired ADSL connection in my home for internet. I have Windows 7 on my PC installed. I have a TP-Link TL-WN321G WiFi card in my PC as well.
Now, I want to share my PC's ADSL connection with my Vibrant through my WiFi card.
So far, I have failed to achieve it. I have tried doing it the TP-Link way by establishing a Soft AP through a software provided by them, but no success. I have tried connectify, no luck here either. My vibrant detects the network but never connects to it...
Any help, what so ever will be really appreciated...
Easiest way, get a $30 router at your local store. Will save you a headache. Otherwise bridge your wired and wireless connection using windows.

Well what you will need to do is allow ICS (Internet Connection Sharing) on the wired NIC card and allow other users to share the connection. It should DHCP the wired NIC and assign your wireless card an IP address like 192.168.137.1 and Subnet of 255.255.255.0.
Actually I don't want to buy a new router, want to use my WiFi card. And it is possible through it, so I think I should not spend money on a router...
I have tried everything... ICS is not working... Connectify is not working either...
There is some way of doing it through Adhoc network, I read somewhere but I have also read that Adhoc network is not supported in Android...
If someone can help, that would be great...
Odd because I'm doing ICS via Windows 7 and mine works perfectly..
***Edit...you might have to add in the default gateway ip and primary dns server ip on the wireless card for it to look for your wired NIC
just right click on your wired NIC and go to status and then details
Hmm... I am going to try this but do I share the internet with my WiFi card or the Virtual WiFi Miniport?
You share the wired NIC "allow other users to connect " it will act as your DHCP server and assign an address to your wireless card
Nothing is happening for me...
My Vibrant detects the WiFi AP but does not connect to it... It evens show the signal strength to be "Excellent" but does not connect to it...
Man... Its really frustrating when you can not get something to work...
So it just wont connect period?? Not even to network? Or will it connect and just no internet.... Hmmmmm
It just wont connect. Period...
Thanks for your willingness to help though...
Google "set up adhoc windows 7" to get your wireless set up properly, then should be easy. Keep it simple at first. Broadcast ssid and one you will recognize, and no password to eliminate any problems. Once configured and workinggo back and set up a password.

I have tried this Ad Hoc connection as well but I have read somewhere that Android does not support Ad Hoc connection. If there is some way around, please do tell me...
Finally... Got it working guys...
Here is the link: http://www.itgeekdiary.com/windows-7-as-an-wi-fi-access-point/
Followed it and it just worked...
Man, I am relieved...
i have an xperia x10 and iphone 3g both rooted and jailbroken
i have a ethernet "internet" connection at laptop on windows 7
i have made an ad hoc wifi connection on my laptop to use my internet connection with both xperia and iphone.
when i open the wifi of iphone it searches and displays my ad hoc connection . it connects well and does well .
but when i try to connect through my xperia.
1st it showed unable to scan network
which i resolved by rooting.
but now when my xperia scans for open networks...
it displays all other networks in my surrounding areas my neighbours etc...
but does not show the wifi connection of my laptop.
tried to manually add the network
but in vain.
in summary i phone recieves and works on adhoc connection but xperia does not
any advices ?
thanxz in advance
Ok so I'm not really clued up on this so forgive any seemingly stupid comments.
My first thing I have to ask is why do you have to ad-hoc your internet to your phones when you can just use your computer to download stuff then up load them via itunes or stick them on the x10's memory card.
Second thing is...X10 2.1 doesn't cater for tethering or internet connection sharing so you will have to
a) Buy a new phone because SE won't release bootloader sources n codes to allow custom roms to be flashed and make full use of hardware.
b) Use the workaround ROMS by using a ported rom that has been adapted to work on SE x10 firmwares. Plenty of info in the forum as you are well aware.
the 2.2 beta 4 has tethering and I think it works.
As a stock 2.1 firmware, connecting to your PC just allows access to files on your memory card.
P.S When the X10 is SCANNING for networks it is using WIFI. That is why it doesn't pick up your ETHERNET connection.
@ above
u did not read my post properly
the ad hoc connection is wifi
thtz how iphone picks it up from laptop over wifi
2nd xperia scans and recieves other networks but not my ad hoc

It is not a wierd problem its just that android is not capable of connecting of detecting ad hoc networks, i think there is a workaround available, you will have to google it.

Hi guys, do you having a problem with wifi connection?
I just discover the problem yesterday. 1st I found that my phone could not connect with router which setup to 13 channel. Since I cannot do anything with this router, nevermind it's ok.
Then I setup ad-hoc wifi at my lappy so that I can connect through lappy which is wired to internet. What the heck, my phone also cannot detect the wifi signal.
I have another phone, LG Optimus One which can connect successfully to the ad-hoc wireless.
So I've installed WiFinder app. That app can detect the ad-hoc wireless but cannot connect.
While this app is trying to connect, I went to wifi setting but it did not detect the signal.
After that I've created wifi hotspot at my LG and the Neo can detect and connect.
What has happened to this phone/firmware/kernel?
I also browsed other forum and somebody also got this problem.
Android doesn't support ad-hoc.
Try resetting your router, in my experience, the problem is caused by the router most of the time.
Is it true Android doesn't support ad-hoc wireless? But why my LG optimus one can detect and use the ad-hoc wireless?
BTW, It's a shared network and I don't have a privileged to reset/modify the router.
My Neo can't connect to an ad-hoc network, just tried it.
Maybe this works? I didn't try it yet.
http://www.emoiz.com/how-to-connect-your-android-phone-to-ad-hoc-wifi-network
Yes, I've gone through the net and stock android doesn't support ad-hoc.
From the reading, what I've got is inside wpa_supplicant there is ap_scan setting.
Suppose stock condition is 'ap_scan=0' but if change it to 'ap_scan=1' or 'ap_scan=2' will make the phone see ad-hoc wireless. Will try it later either it will connect with connection or not.

So your Optimus One wasn't on stock ROM?
Nop, my optimus one is running on CM7.
But I've found a solution to this problem. By using a repetear bridge(dd-wrt) and access point, I repeat the wifi and bridge it with AP.
Create another wifi at the AP and Neo can connect it successfully.

Which device are you referring to? Neo? Optimus One?
