hi guys...am only geting wifi at home...not workin at my brothers house. it keeps conecting and disconecting..however when i boot from windows the wifi works ok at his house!...i was using tytung v 2.8 gingerbread... i have made a fresh instal using tytung v 3.0 gingerbread but the problem is stil there.....using a htc hd2 running andrtoid from sd card.........please could somebody shed sum light!!!....

Most likely it is the router, not your phone.

Yeah, you might just need to power cycle your brother's router.

Hello,
What kind of protection you use on the router?
Try WPA-2 password on router settings, reboot the router and try again.
I hope this helps.

Try resetting your router and try again.

i tried other wifi spots but still i got same results.. what seems to be the problem? do u think its hardware issues? i can detect all the wifi connections available but once i got connected, i cant browse or use the market. is it hardware?
also to add to the problem, i tried the bluetooth, i cant receive files but i can send files to others..
i think best way is to flash another ROM .. Wipe everything before you flash & see it it works otherwise flash Radio if you not having latest one Radio for Hero GSM Then i think VillainROM Guys are having you can check their forums ..and try that
i think i have issues with my wifi at home.. because when i try public wifi's i can connect to some but i also cant to some free wifi. which is weird. i have a wildfire before and this was not an issue for me
Last year I had a similar problem that I fixed by assigning my hero a static ip address. For some reason dhcp did not work.
Strangely enough I don't have that problem anymore.
Back then I had stock 1.5 OS. Now I have every ROM. Well, you know what I mean.

This could very well be an issue with your router firmware. Some routers are just plain ****ty.
Can you maintain a connection without any encryption (WEP,WPA,WPA2,etc)?

[Q] problem with the wifi tethering

i used a lot the wifi tethering of my galaxy 2 until...i upgrade ..after this i used it once and then nothing...i did hard reset and again worked once and after nothing..my laptops can see the wifi and connects with it but doesnt share the internet access..in contrary if i use the usb tether everything works like a charm...has anyone any idea???
I am having the same problem. Did you resolve the issue and how did you do it...
Thanks in advance...
Same here as well, I have not used tethering before until now and wanted to see if I could get it to work as I will be away in a few weeks with no internet access for my laptop so wanted to try and get this running.
As said above got the laptop to see and connect to the phone, but wont let me have internet. Not tried doing it via usb yet as wanted to try it wireless.
Any ideas anyone? (by the way running lite'ning rom as well 5.2)
I have the same issue on mine. Just release/renew the ip address and it works fine.

[Q] MIUI 2.3.4 (stable) wifi connection problem

Hi guys,
Apologies if there is an answer to this anywhere else on XDA but I had a decent look and was unable to find one.
I recently installed the MIUI mod as per the instructions here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1079150
The mod looks great and I did not encounter any problems with the install however I now cannot connect to wifi. After entering in the passkey under wifi settings it simply goes through the cycle over and over of:
Connecting.... Obtaining IP address.... Disconnected.... Connecting.... etc.
Anybody know of a solution?
Thanks
I also had similar issues.. It will connect but frequently drop and while connected, the speed is ridiculously slow.. I wish i could find a solution.. 3g speeds are great and its not the wifi network causing the problem..

this happens to me with my router netgear (is a router issue). i need to reboot router in order to reconnect my defy to wifi. If you doesn't solve try to install latest miui.us 1.8.5, is newest and stable
Just installed 1.8.5 and still no dice. I am also going through a Netgear router so that may be the issue however reboot did not fix the problem for me.
Update:
Currently logged on to wifi at work with no problems at all so it must have something to do with the router. Is there anyway I can counter this by forwarding the IP address through a port or something?
Interestingly, I am also having the same problem with my bluetooth. My car stereo has bluetooth for hands free and I can instantly pair with this device but cannot connect to it. It again just gets stuck in a "Connecting...." loop but is never able to finish connecting.
Am I missing something simple or should I just give up on MIUI for the moment in favour of something else such as CM7...
I just updated my Desire and same issue.. any solurions?
Give CM7 A try... wait for a while... there will be an RC update with 2.3.5

i flash miui on my moto defy
you have tried the 2.3.5a stable? has no problem
It might have something to do with the base Android system you had before. I've read that flashing the Nordic sbf, then rooting it, full wipe (factory reset, cache, dalvik) and then install might fix your issues.

I had the same problem with CM7 RC1 (RC0 worked), with Barebones Froyo and now with MS2Ginger... It connects to the router...but the internet speed is really slow... I changed the router to G mode and nothing.
With MIUI 1.8.5 my wifi worked ok...

Problems with wifi on ICS official and ROM Cook (4.0.3 and 4.0.4)

Hi everyone! I am new to this forum. I have something to ask.
Currently I am having an Xperia Ray. Rooted. Boot loader unlocked. Running Ray Onium v7 GB with Aire Kernel v7. Everything runs perfectly without a glitch.
However when I update to ICS, both stock ROM or Cook ROM (Ray Onium v6 ICS, JJ ROM 2.5 and team Kang ROM), I find that my wifi is not useable.
I'm sitting about 1m away from the router, the signal is excellent but I can't browse the internet or go to the market.
I have tried both with 4.0.3 and 4.0.4. However when I connect to an open network, everything is fine. I'm using WPA2 encryption for my Linksys 54g router.
Any help would be appreciated.
Thanks!

I have the same ussue in neo v. Conects fine and fast but there is no internet. All ok on GB but any ics is making that prob. Tried every single rom out there with all kernels and wifi modules

I've tried with SEUS, no luck.
The point here is that it gets connected very fast, however there is no internet. On GB everything is perfect.
I have the same issue, everything perfectly on GB.

I've been having similar problems with my wifi since updating to ICS. My problems are a little different though. WPA2 network here, the phone can see the network fine and it connects quickly, I can browse and stuff just fine, but every so often the network just /disconnects/. Usually it'll reconnect a few seconds later, but sometimes I have to open the wifi settings screen before it'll reconnect, and sometimes it doesn't reconnect at all. When it doesn't reconnect at all, the settings screen says my network is either out of range (it picks it up the moment I hit Scan) or had an "authentication problem", and I have to manually connect to the network.
Kinda weird and very frustrating, because sometimes I'm connected for hours without a problem, and sometimes I'm getting disconnected every few minutes.
When SE released their alpha and beta ICS roms, the wifi either didn't see my home network, or it saw my home network but couldn't connect, instead just infinitely cycling through "Connecting, Disconnected, Not In Range, Connecting"
Same problem happens regardless of what kernel or ROM I use, it happens in CM9, AOKP and every other ICS ROM I've tried. :/
A similar problem it seems...
When I want to download an app via Google Play simply it doesn't start. I touch back button and try to download it again and voila! The same fast wireless..
But it simply does not start at first try. Not only Google Play downloads but also all other internet using applications do that strange behaviour.

I have two Rays at home... one on GB and one on ICS.... the ICS one has the same problems, I think switching your wifi router to WEP seems to help and so is changing to B from N.. but then you lose higher speeds and security... but that does seem to help. On the other hand the GB ray has no problems whatsoever....
Hope this helps someone figure out a solution

Your welcome. I just also flashed official Nordic 4.0.4 from here... And my router has something called " protected mode", that is says helps for that- if WiFi signals are too many around. Try installing WiFi analytics from google play... It's free-
use a free WiFi channel.
Turn on such protected mode if you can
I also activated something called "intellistream" that prioritizes streaming in WiFi.
So far, it's going well. This way I kept the 801n and WPA security.
Before this, I was sitting 7-8 steps away from the router and kept dropping connections.
Hope it helps.... No expert here.... Joined the forum for the same reason...
tomorrow after work ill test as much scenarios as possible. it cant be router related since i have the same issue with 7 different routers. 0 problems with GB, always the same issue on ICS.
connected solid and sound, no dropping in signal, but no internet flow whatsoever.. this is the only thing that keeps me on GB -.-
Any progress?
Yeah same problem with me.
There's something wrong with ICS Rom, that needs to be fixed
Replace file
Unzip and copy this file in /system/bin (replace with original). This should fix the wifi connection. You will need root for this.
So far, so good

Hey there....
It's been working fine for me now with the above changes and the 4.0.4 Nordic ftf that I flashed from here.... the 4.0.3 does seem to have WiFi problems, but not the 4.0.4.
Hope it helps....
