Hello everyone!
Just like everyone else I have been waiting infront of the screen for 3 days now to get this god forsaken update and when I finally get it everything works fine exceopt for the WiFi.
on 2.1 I used to get an Internet connection when on my WiFI, Now im connected to the router with full connection strength but I have absolutely NO internet connection, only an evil triangle telling me that I have limited network access.
This has happened to 3 of my phones (All of which are Identical)
And the only even closest similar issue here on XDA has been with the HTCD which dropped the WiFi connection if the signal was too weak, but mine is at full strength.
In short: My phone can do Everything but going on the internet...
What I have tried:
Putting the phone in DMZ
Disabling Firewall in the router
manually enter Static IP settings
anyone else experiencing the same issues and/or know how to silve it?
bump
[BUMP] just bumping this thread because without WiFi my use of the phone is limited to say the least...
Hi i get this too but ojly since the update, i have it working now but its still a problem it sorts itself out if i leave it on for a bit?

I have the another problem around since 2.3.3.
Wifi works fine,
But when not near a Wifi spot cannot access internet /send mms recieve mms , or download internet&mms settings. And this is the only similar problem i found <.<
But on your problem ofcourse might seem silly but im guessing your already tried rebooting/resetting the router? ^.
I beleive you have to be coolnnected to wifi to get settings for internet and mms.
And yes i have tried rebooting the modem but it didnt work so i just connect to the btopenzone signal my modem also gives off

Hello everybody!
Someone of you has noticed a poor WiFi reception on Hero?
I'm experiencing a poor WiFi reception in my house when Hero is connect to internet thru an access point.
What happen is that after WiFi connection has been established the phone tends to loose it and restart connection thru GSM/3G link.
That happen also if phone stay in the same place without moving around and also when phone is close to access point location.
Any idea about way to solve the problem?
Regards.

Just an upgrade on issue...
If I turn off data connection thru GSM/3G and switch on WiFi seem that WiFi connection is stable so maybe issue come when both data connection are enabled...
Anyway is annoying shout down each time data connection on GSM/3D and power on WiFi!
Regards.
i believe wifi goes idle when not in use. so it connect to 3g or edge. However there is an app if not various in the market already to help keep wifi always on..
Do a search for wifi and see for yourself.

Thanks for suggestion!
At now I've solved turning off GSM/3G data connection when I'm at home anyway I guess that WiFi reception sometimes go away due to issue of the phone or maybe as way to save battery...
when that happen phone stay unconnected so I guess that should be better if I will check for apps that keep WiFi connection always working!

when the device goes into standby, the wifi is turned off to save battery poweer, and it will go back to 3G.
go into the wifi settings, press menu and select advanced.
select the timeout options
set to never and it will not turn off when in standby.
problem solved and you shouldn't have to turn off Mobile data, although with the settings widget on your homescreen turning mobile data off off each time is hardly going to ruin your life. in fact i tend to do this anyway, just cos i have spent too many years with windows mobile....
Here's an annoying bug I've found tho - on TMob UK
If I send an MMS from home, wifi on, it sits there, and doesn't send the message. Until I turn off wifi and 3G kicks in again.
Now I know for a fact that on my Magic, it was able to turn on 3g/HSPDA to send the message all by itself. Might have a look in thodse advanced settings tho to see if there is something I can do.. Not a biggie, just a bit of an annoyance.

I too, have been doing a search on Forums all over Google looking for a resolution to this.
I have noticed if Wi-Fi is enabled I am unable to send or receive MMS messages.
It is an annoyance having to turn Wi-Fi off each time also I am never to know if someone has tried to send a message in the first place.
Currently using T-Mobile G2 (rooted with MCR Rom 2.8) on T-Mobile UK
so... i search for wifi conections and i find the desired network, i then enter the correct wep password and press conect - it trys to connect for about 5 seconds and the says "disconected"
i have tried using the static ip address method- doesnt work
i have tried hard reset - doesent work
i have updated to 2.1 (about 3 times)- doesnt work
so any ideas?
i will also add that sony erricson support claim that this is not possible
Have you tried another network? Or reboot your router?
Sent from my U20i using XDA App
works well on one other network (and used to on this network!) - and yes rebooted but still not worked!
If it works on another network, i dont think its something wrong with your phone.
Try a few other hotspots
If you are using WPA then switch to WPA2 on your router!
I had a simular problem after going to 2.1 both on my mini pro and the ex's lg gt540, not sure what caused it, but reseting the router to factory and re entering all my settings fixed it for some reason
Use wep

I'm having a similar problem with my wife's x10mini. She has it for the past 6 months and has always been able to connect to our home router. Since 2 days ago she has been unable to see the router in her wifi settings and so unable to connect to it. The strange thing is that she can still see all of our neighbors wifi routers, just not ours, that is just 1m away.... I tried manually adding it but it says that the router is out of range.
I have gone through all router settings I can access and the phone still cannot see the router. I've even left the router wide open, without any protection whatsoever and the phone still couldn't see the router, despite seeing all other routers around.
Please give me some ideas to try. I've also formatted the phone and re-installed everything to no avail. I'm getting a bit lost now.
Maybe this can help someone else, my problem was solved by changing the router channel from Auto to Channel 10.
Maybe the router started using a channel that the phone couldn't see/use.

Maybe an complete reinstall of the base system would help also try simply turning on and off your wireless and see if it works
I also experience almost all of these bugs but turnin on and off my wireless fixed my problems

I am on bionix 1.3.1 and have noticed that whenever I turn my wifi on it seems to not allow me data access. My web browser will not connect to a page, market won't load, and any downloads that were in progress will fail. it's as if turning on the wifi is overriding my data connection and blocking it. It says that it's connected in the menu though. Any advice?
Thanks
Edit: I just noticed when looking at my phone stats, that when I turn on my wifi my mobile network state says disconnected, and it connects again when wifi is turned off.
Also, I have an airport extreme and a mac, perhaps that is my problem. I've scoured the internet and found a bunch of info about this problem, but haven't found anything that works yet.

Im sure someone will correct me if Im wrong but if you switch from wifi to 3g while downloading the download usually will fail because you were using only wifi to download the content and when that turned off it doesn't just switch to using 3g you have to manually retry the download using 3g .... when wifi and 3g are on wifi doesn't speed up the 3g instead it does the internet related work and the 3g does the text and phone call related work
that makes sense, thanks. as for the connection problem, it is definitely mac related. my wifi seems to work on other networks. I just need to figure out how to make it work with the airport. It's just weird to me that it says it's connected and shows signal bars, but won't access the internet.

so is the new problem that the airport extreme won't give wifi to your phone or that its not working at all
According to my phone I am connected via wifi to my network from the airport, however, the phone cannot access any internet functions when connected. When I disable wifi, it works fine with 3g or edge. It seems to be something with the settings on my airport, not the phone itself.

That's surprising maybe this means apple products are biased
my ROM is Jellybam, 5.1
since yesterday i havnt been able to connect to WIFI or to my mobile network.
for example the wifi, it says that it has connected to my router, but i still can't surf the internet.
same thing with the mobile network, it shows on the top of the screen that im on "H+" or "3g" but i still can't access the internet.
I've never had such a problem..what to do?
thanks.
U tried play store?

check the access point on your phone to see if is pointing to the apn for your provider. To check access point go to menu - settings - more settings - mobile networks - access point names.
On wifi check your router to see if it sees your phone. The router may need a static ip or the router version is out of date and doesn ot support the wifi of your phone.

already done it. my mobile network settings(APN) are fine.
and i even tried to connect to my friend's wifi and still nothing. it connects, but there is no signal and i cant use the internet.
try calling your provider, your account may need to be reset to get rid of the problem with the phone internet.
To check on wifi you may need to try another kernal as there mabe an issue with the wifi files in the kernal.
but how is it possible? i had this ROM for 3 weeks and never had a problem with my internet connection. and i havn't changed my kernel or my modem since i flashed the ROM.
and the internet access and the WIFI problem had started at the same time. so i assumed that there's just 1 problem that causes the wifi and the network problem.
internet and wifi are seperate problems it is a coincident that they both failed at the same time.
Wifi software issues are located in the kernal. Internet issues could also be kernal or firmware related. These issues could strike at any time without warning.
We know it is not a hardware issue as it connects, so it must be a software isuue.
