Hi,
I have the following issues with my Razr:
1. When connecting to my home network, sometimes the WiFi logo won't turn blue. This causes google talk to be unable to sign in. However the phone is connected to the network, internet browsing with Dolphin and Market work fine. Rebooting fixes the issue, when connecting now the WiFi logo turns blue as soon as connected and all is good.
2. I can't connect to my university's wifi: it is an 802.1x secured with PEAP and uses MSCHAPV2. When I set up the connecting (which i have to do manually by long pressing network -> modify settings) it fails to connect (says connecting to... then Disconnected). Weird thing is when modifying the network again, the settings are screwed up (e.g. set to use TLS, MSCHAPV2 unselected).
Does anybody have any ideas what to do about these (except for waiting for an update?) I am using the 651.73.18-version, so not updated so far...
Also, WiFi strength seems rather crappy with the Razr, i'm only getting ok signals where i used to get good ones with my desire and fail to connect when my cheap hp netbook connects fine...
Thanks lots for any help!!

I have recently returned to my apartment with my brand new archos 70. I use WPA2-PSK encryption for my wifi network. at first everything was golden, I could browse the web and whatnot just fine. as of a few days ago, wifi has not been working correctly. my device connects to the network (pulls an ip address from the router) but when I try to browse web pages or open web based apps they hang up and act as if I have no connection. it works fine on other networks (to limit the problem to my network) I have tried doing a factory reset of the device, tried power cycling my router and modem with no luck. I have also changed encryption types to no avail. i have the latest firmware for the gen 8 series. also from time to time during this session of events, sometimes it will connect to the router, then disconnect and reconnect. I have no clue whats going on because I havent changed any router settings since I got back. the only other devices on my wifi network are two laptops. any help would be appreciated.
you mean you restored to the factory settings ran through the start up all over again and it still won't connect to your router? have you tried any other types of connections or routers?
I had this problem just the other night was this close to reformatting the whole thing. but I solve the problem by turning the device off, then holding the reset button while it rebooted to turn it off again, an reinitializing the drivers.
how do you reinitialize the drivers? I did a factory wipe. and it connects, it shows as having network connectivity (even my router lists it as a dhcp client and currently making use of the access point) but no internet functions work. ive connected to other networks fine.
This happened to me when I first got my A70. What I had to do to fix it (after getting incredibly pissed, reformatting twice, and almost returning the thing) was to set it up to use a static IP address on my home wifi network. Don't know if it'll solve your problem, but it works beautifully for me and I'm able to enjoy the device now.
Just remember to uncheck "use static IP address" when you get on other wifi networks.
well, I set up static addressing, gave it a private ip, set up the gateway and dns, and it still wont connect to anything.
If set as wireless N, set as N+G or G only, latest firmware may have trouble connecting to wireless N networks.
na, I dont have it set to n, I have it set to auto which I believe puts it to g with my archos. thing is, it used to work. now it suddenly has problems.
Im beginning to wonder if the archos tablets are just picky about wireless routers. I wouldnt think so...
Upgrade the firmware
Archos published a firmware upgrade to solve this problem (December 2010). The related bug in the release notes is...
Wi-Fi: fix Wi-Fi stuck after a while when using WPA2/AES encryption mode
The new firmware download link is in the Archos website.
you can download the firmware to your computer, copy it to the root directory of the tablet using the USB cable, and run the upgrade process in the tablet.
... or you can use another WiFi network (without WPA2/AES) and download the update in the same tablet
Note: I cannot send the links, however you can use the information to search the links in the internet.
I can't seem to connect to wifi. The phone keeps cycling between connecting, Obtaining IP address and Disconnected.
Anyone else having this problem? Any advice?
Are you connecting to a WPA enabled router? I've had issues on my Droid with certain routers (D-Link for one)... If I switch the router to WEP, it will connect fine.
For a phone to not support WPA is pretty lame. I picked up the TB today but I am at work. Hopefully it will connect to my home wifi network, I will update you on my results!
Had a similar problem on one of my TBolts...power cycle resolved it.
I can log onto my WPA network with no issues. Maybe bad password?
Well, I do use WEP and it will not connect. I turned off WEP just to see and it connects fine when I leave the network open.

Mine seems to be working fine, just connected to home network - I don't get a wireless icon up in the notification bar, but it goes green on my toggle.
So it seems that there is no way to connect to a non broadcasting wifi network in any of the current froyo roms. Anyone got any ideas on how to resolve this?
I have tried hidden wifi enabler and even added it separately, but it just says out of range when its sitting right next to the wireless router. With broadcasting on it connects with no problems.

I've done it in Vegan... what encryption are you using? I know there are issues with WEP...
using wpa2 I heard rumors that tkip doesnt work with it. This correct?
I got mine to connect running stock and TNT 4.4 but it wasn't easy. I intially went into wifi setting and "add a network" typed in the SSID (not being broadcast) and password (WPA2/TKIP) and it would find the network but not connect. I did some searches and found various suggestion but none worked.
After a lot of failed attempts I got frustrated and turned off wifi on the tablet and then turned it back and suddenly it connected with no problems. It may have been a one off thing but couldn't hurt to try it.

Ill give this a try and see what happens. But I am not getting my hopes up.
Just out of curiosity.....
What's the point of connecting to non-broadcasting router?
It's like turning on WiFi in the middle of desert?
JMO.....
turn on ssid bdcst. connect then turn bdcst off.

If your wireless router doesn't broadcast it's SSID, others can not attempt to access it.
My Stock 3588 connects fine
I have a non broadcasting router in my home and stock 3588 on my gtab. Did the connection once when I bought the tab and it has been connecting just fine for couple months now!

So not even close to true
Using a non-broadcast SSID as a security measure is probably the weakest (well...next to no encryption at all) method available.

Using a Linux PC, I can see ALL available wireless APs with this command:
Code:
iwlist wlan0 scan
Hiding the SSID is not even considered to be a security option, it is that poor. Save yourself some trouble and let it broadcast the SSID.
I have a YP-G70 (galaxy player 5.0), international version. It came with gingerbread 2.3.5, and it was unable to find the adhoc network I've set up in my laptop.
Then I flashed it with rumirand's custom kernel r13 and Meticulus's Foreigner ROM R5.1 (GB 2.3.6), and the problem was still there.
Then I replaced the wpa_supplicant file with the one mentioned in these posts:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=22268045&postcount=60
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1438334
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1377321
(the file that is mentioned is always the same)
Now it detects the adhoc network, but when I connect to it, the wifi status starts looping: connecting -> disconnected -> scanning -> connecting -> disconnected -> ...
Did I miss anything?
Has anyone managed to get adhoc to work on YP-G70 using one of the custom ROMs based on 2.3.6?
Or do I really need to go back to 2.3.5 and use the wpa_supplicant file mentioned above?
Thank you
I have played with some of these wpa_supplicant files recently. The result seems to be hit and miss.
So far I tried connecting to 2 different usb wifi dongo using ad hoc mode. The only successful one is the ad hoc connection to a tp-link wifi dongo using wep mode. This dongo doesn't support wpa.
The other one that failed is a linksys dual band dongo, I can't get a connection with either wep or wpa. The observation is very similar to yours.
Need to try a few other device to see what's wrong or whether it is due to incompatibilities.
By the way, I also tried all the possible security options (open, wep, wpa). Same behavior for all of them, except that the "connecting" step took much longer when using wpa.
Interesting note on incompatibilities. My laptop's wi-fi card is an Intel PRO/Wireless 3945ABG.
I found out that it ends up connecting successfully if I just leave it looping for a while... sometimes it will succeed on the first few attempts, sometimes it takes several minutes.
So far, it only worked in open or WEP. Never got it to work in WPA.
DHCP
Have you tried to use a fixed ip instead of dhcp ?
Yes, that's how I've always had it set up. I don't think there is a way to use dhcp in ad hoc.
Today, I've switched to the Chip v1.5 custom firmware and I just can't get ad-hoc to work at all. No ad-hoc networks are displayed in the wifi settings.
I've tried replacing the wpa_supplicant file with different versions of that file, but it just rendered the wifi completely unfunctional: I turn it on, it goes "scanning...", then it turns itself off automatically after a few seconds. I had to reinstall the firmware in order to get the wifi to work again.
I would really appreciate some help, as I completely rely on an ad-hoc connection to obtain internet access on my SGP when I'm at home. I don't feel like going back to the firmware I was using before, having seen how great this one is.
So you have used static ip? And set it up correctly? Because the wifi connect and disconnect problem is frequent with belkin routers, and is fixed by using static ip usually.
Sent from my YP-G1 using xda app-developers app
Yeah, the IP settings are correct, and I'm using a static IP. I eventually got used to the looping that I mentioned in a post above, and I've lived with that for the past 8 months.
However, as I said in my previous post, I've installed the Chip v1.5 firmware, and now my problem is somewhat different.

if you had this happening, it meant the wpa_supplicant you'd tried wasn't compatible with your device. Always backup wpa_supplicant before replacing in in case the new one doesn't work.
Try this wpa_supplicant, it works with my 5.0.
I had the same problem with Ad-hoc networks using windows7 (ie obtaining ip address loop) - I gave up in the end, but found this : Windows 7 as a WAP. It does the same thing, only it's not an ad-hoc network - you can also share wifi internet through the same wifi adapter...it works great for me!

I did backup. But, even after putting the original wpa_supplicant back in, wi-fi was still broken. So, the only way for me to fix it was to reinstall the firmware.

Thanks. I've been playing with that wpa_supplicant for a while now. However, it did not solve the problem.
It detects the ad-hoc network that I set up on my laptop, but I'm having a hard time trying to connect to it. So far, I've only been able to connect twice. What I need to do in order to connect successfully is to keep enabling and disabling wi-fi. Each time I enable it, it will automatically attempt to connect to the ad-hoc network (because it remembers the info). Most of the time, it will say "Connected", but it actually isn't connected. It only succeeds like once every 50 attempts. And even if it succeeds, it will disconnect automatically after like 10 seconds. At least it gave me enough time to test the internet connectivity, which worked fine during those few seconds. Changing the encryption type from WEP to WPA only made things worse.

That seems like a great idea. However, my laptop's wireless adapter (Intel PRO/Wireless 3945ABG) does not support that functionality. An adapter with Windows 7 certified drivers is required. I also tried to use Connectify, but it also does not support this adapter.

that's very strange. This wpa_supplicant works on my GP 5.0 very well. It detects my WEP ad-hoc network and connects to it just fine and keeps connection until i disconnect. Sometimes it won't connect right away, in which case i just turn wi-fi off and then on again and then it finds the connection, connects and then everything's fine.

Agghh that's a shame.... you could try buying a wifi dongle.. they're not all that expensive...
After playing a bit with the network adapter settings on the laptop, I am now able to connect successfully to the ad-hoc network as soon as I enable wi-fi. What I did was changing the property "Ad Hoc Channel 802.11b/g" to 1 (it was 11 before). Setting this property to anything other than 1 makes it not be able to connect.
There is still the issue of automatically disconnecting after a while (which can vary from seconds to minutes), but it doesn't happen very often, and I'm usually able to stay connected for a long time. Playing with the network adapter properties didn't seem to help in this regard. Anyway, I guess that the problem is solved.
It should be noted that I've never had to change the network adapter settings for any anything else before. I've always been able to connect to other computers via an ad-hoc network. I also used to be able to connect with my SGP 5.0 when I had a different ROM installed. The looping problem that I had before (see my early posts in this thread) could probably be solved also by changing that property in the adapter.

How did you get to that property? I can't find anything similar on mine...
Control Panel -> Network and Sharing Center -> Change adapter settings -> Right-click on the wireless adapter -> Properties -> Configure... -> Advanced.
The properties for the network adapter are listed there, and you should be able to change them.

Hmmm yes, I looked there but unfortunately there is no option to change or configure the channel at all!
I suppose it's driver dependent.
Hi,
I suggest that before the update worked perfectly.
After updating the wifi tethering does not work anymore.
In practice, the other device connects but does not navigate.
I noticed that with tethering connected and connected device if I disconnect the data and reconnect them, the connected device navigates but no longer surf the phone.
To be able to surf the phone I have to disable the router and disconnect and reconnect the data.
It's as if either surfing one or the other.
I have already reset my factory data.
My sim has no tethering block.
I've already tried to change APN (default - default,dun - default,supl,dun).
The same problem also in safe mode.
Can someone help me?
Thanks
