Is anyone having trouble with the wifi ...it connects and disconnects ...any solution
Sent from my MB860 using XDA App
more info would help . 2.4/5GHz, b/g/n, LEAP/WEP/WPA/WPA2 etc.
you can give wifi fixer a try. Or if you really want to diagnose the problem take a peek at the logcat with the aLogcat app. I plan to do this for my work wifi connection, it disconnects sometimes, no more than 1.57. My wifi connection at home is more stable with 1.83 than 1.57, WRT54GS with WPA2.
by default wifi disconnects as soon as the screen turns off. if you want to leave it enabled you need to change the advanced settings under the wifi configuration section in settings

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.

This seems to be a problem with android itself. Wifi never automatically connects to saved networks when in range.
I have to use an app called wifi fixer to monitor my wifi connection- it connects to a wifi network that I have saved when it is in range.
Below were my original questions I posted in the general section by mistake. After a lot of searching I found the folder organizer app can create short cuts to folder or categories for apps. So I can have a short cut in the launcher that goes to all my games, or utilities.
I haven't figured out how to make the cell radio being turned of be persistent. So I just have my device set to airplane mode- but when I reboot it I have to turn the wifi back on.

1. I'm on StreakDroid 1.6.0 and everything is gravy cept for WIFI not connecting automatically. That seems to be a problem with Android itself. For me it is a problem because I'm not using a dataplan because I get free wifi through my cable co. I'm using csipsimple with my old gizmo5 account that I bought with my n810.
2. Does any launcher do app draws? I'm using Launcher pro and it would be nice if I could put a folder in the dock to store all my games.
3. Anyone know if I can use 2 bluetooth controllers with this on emulators? I'm still waiting on my Datel classic wiimote but it would be awesome if I could use two controllers.
4. How do I remove the No Sim card message? I use this as a wifi device and I had it set to airplane mode for a while but then I found the app "any cut" and made a short cut to turn off the cell radio. Apparently if I have it set to airplane mode it turns off wifi by default- and I thought that was the reason why wifi doesn't connect automatically but I still have to manually initialize wifi. I have wifi set to never sleep btw*
5. Turning off the cell radio isn't a persistent setting it seems. Does the cell radio still use battery power if there's no sim card in the device?

Streak WIFI Issues
I am having the same problem. Running 2.2 with 318 baseband. Phone can find wifi but will not stay connected. Phone goes into an endless cycle of connecting and immediately disconnecting. I am able to get WIFI to work by putting the phone into airplane mode. Anyone have a fix??
Are you using the stock rom or dj_steve's? I've heard of people getting disconnected from wifi if the signal is weak. There's a way to turn of data on 3g under wireless settings. I believe that would prevent it from switching between 3g and wifi connections.
I don't really have this problem though. Once it connects to one of my saved networks it stays connected. It's just that android doesn't do this automatically when a saved network is in range.
WIFI Issues
I'm on stock rom. WIFI signal doesnt seem to be in the issue as I have been within 5 feet of the router and had the issue happen. I'm reluctant to turn 3G off as I need it on to make and receive calls in my house via Microcell.
You probably have to change that setting under wifi that puts the wifi radio to sleep when the screen turns off. I have mine set to never.
You may also want to run wifi fixer- which will automatically reconnect you when you get disconnected.
I'm going to try this:

Try rebooting your wireless router. I have 2 netgear wgr614's. One at home, the other at work. After several connect/disconnects, it goes in the connecting/disconnecting loop until I reboot the router. Go figure...
What I did that seems to have worked is to set up a static IP address instead of having the router assign it for me (DNS). Since then my Wifi connects every time. I could be wrong but it seems to have worked for me.

I'm a dumba... You're correct. DHCP

You mean DHCP not DNS. Mine always connects when tuurning wifi on but if left on and my streaks sleeps for an extended amount of time it will not connect till I turn wiring off then back on. I also have wifi sleep policy set to never. Had that issue with nexus one as well.

I've got a Xoom wifi and I use the Fascinate as a tether for 3g when I'm on the go. I've got stock Froyo ED01, rooted.
I use the yellow icon Wireless Tether app (http://code.google.com/p/android-wifi-tether/) which has infrastructure mode, with the following settings:
1. Device Profile - Samsung Fascinate
2. Auto setup method
3. Wifi encryption enabled
4. Passphrase present
5. SSID "1"
6. Hide SSID checked
7. Channel "auto"
8. Wifi driver reload checked
9. Enable access control checked
Rest of the settings are the default
The problem I face is I turn on wifi tether, the Xoom connects (I get a notification that the Xoom (mac address id) connected and can use the internet with out any problems. Then some time around 1 hour - 3 hours, I get another notification that the Xoom is connecting again (phone vibrates). After this second connection, my phone works for like 10 seconds then just restarts. It shuts off and immediately I can see the samsung logo. After the phone restarts I can use wifi tether app again, but it happens again after a while of using it (1-3 hours).
On a related topic, I noticed that if I stop the wifi tether manually, I cannot use the wifi tether app again until I restart the phone. If I do try to run the program again without restarting I just get stuck on the "start tethering" notification forever. The yellow tether icon is there in the notification bar, but it isn't functioning at all. I have to restart the phone to get it to work.
It's kind of annoying, but more importantly, is this an issue a lot of people face and is it causing any damage to the phone?
Try using 2.0.5

Just try not to use your phone while tethering, I too have experienced this and it's always when I'm using the phone and wifi tether gets killed. then everything freezes and the phone reboots.

ive had this problem as well tethering on my vibrant
After using the wifi tether app once, I need to turn on wifi, wait about 10 seconds and make sure it can see the networks, then shut off wifi, then I can reconnect to wifi tether.
Anyone with the Amaze 4G for T-Mobile USA notice that it often doesn't connect to remembered WiFi networks even though they are in range and it will only connect if you go to view WiFi settings/networks under settings then it connects?
Also, anyone have any issues connecting to WiFi networks where the SSID is not being broadcast? I can get it to connect initially but it will never reconnect to a hidden SSID network that it "remembers"?
Using stock gingerbread ROM.
I notice this happens every now and then... I will have to open my WiFi networks, then before I can click on the network, it refreshes. It happens only rarely for me, but I have noticed it at times

glad im not the only one, sometimes when i get home i have to go to the wifi settings and refresh the scan, after i been home for several minutes,
had seen this on stock and faux kernel
I am having serious wifi issues on my T-Mobile P769 20f Jellybean which makes wifi pretty much unusable.
I have the following advanced wifi settings:
Keep wifi on during sleep = always
avoid poor connections = disabled
wifi frequency band = auto
When I am connected to wifi it will be for no longer than a few minutes before the connection drops. Sometimes it restarts on its own. Sometimes I need to kick it by toggling wifi on and off.
When I am connected I have piss poor link speed, only 5 mpbs. The connection is very slow. It took me on the order of 5 minutes today to download "wifi analyzer", an app which is less than a megabyte.
When I set wifi frequency band to 5ghz, I don't even see the 5ghz network which my dual band router (Asus rt n66u) has created on a separate SSID altogether. I only see my 2.4ghz network but trying to connect to it by clicking on the name does nothing.
When I am connected to my 2.4ghz network I have changed the ip settings from DHCP to static and that doesn't seem to help as other threads I have read suggest. My connection still frequently drops.
Finally I wish to try changing the wifi power saving setting by dialing *#0011# but that just yields "invalid MMI code".
Does anyone have any ideas? I am at my wits end with this wifi that is unusable and I am currently roaming so cannot turn on my data. It seems to me that this is the infamous Jellybean wifi issue but maybe not.
Any help is appreciated.
Yeah jellybean has a lot of problems, ice has the best Wi-Fi driver. I think wind 21b has good wifi, it's been awhile since I've been on that Rom, so I might be wrong. Maybe we can port the wifi driver from ice to the jellybean, not sure if we can though.

It may sound stupid but have you checked that your router firmware is up to date? Other than that I would try a backup if the problem wasn't pre existing. Last resort reflash it.

I had this problem whenever I have any "battery saving" app running (Battery Saver, Juice Defender, etc.). Turn them off and have my wifi on all day (or maybe using Llama / Tasker to turn wifi off at night) solves my problem.
