I updated from froyo geewiz kernel and powerwashed rom to EH03. Now my wifi just scans, says connecting, then disconnected.
First I tried Geewiz 2.4.2 EH03. When the Wifi problem followed I odined Nitsuj17's stock EH03. When again the wifi wouldn't work I Odined CWM and Nitsuj17's Superclean3 Milestone1 EH03. Still the Wifi just scans, says connecting, then disconnected. I could be right next to the router with full strength. The WEP password seems to be accepted and tries to connect but then just says disconnected.
Anyone have any Ideas?
Have you first tried to connect to a wifi base station that is completely open, with no password? Just to see if your wifi is completely shot?
Connected to neighbor's open wifi. Won't connect to mine no matter how many times I put in password.
I'm probably giving you advice you already know, but have you tried changing the WPA encryption scheme, changing the password, etc..... The OG droid had various issues with particular wifi settings, but the fascinate never has. but you never know...
What about mac filter, does your router have one and if so is it running? Your problem sounds exactly like what people complain to me about when they can't connect to my router but have entered password - I have to manually add them. Its a great feature for a little extra security.
Thanks everyone. After twice flashing stock Verizon eh03, bricking my phone, and 3 different cool roms all failing to connect to my wep secured router, the easiest (and most idiotic for my missing this) solution worked. I reset the router with the little red reset button on back of the verizon fios router and instantly my stock eho3 connected using the password i had imputed before and remembered. Recent power outages is all I can think of for why this happened.
Then flashed CWM Blue from TSM Resurrection 2.0 post, then flashed tsm Resurrection 2.0 and all is well. Love the new rom, Highly praised by me.
Thanks everyone. This community's' willingness to take time out and help a total stranger amazes me every time. You tech guys are great.

I just installed JT's CM7 TEST 3 ROM. Now I can't connect to WPA/2 access points. Any ideas?
What kind of problem are you seeing?
Do you not see any WAP's? Or can you see them and not connect to them?
Did you enter them manually after wiping/flashing or did you use TiBu to add them in? Can you connect to your Mobile Data service fine still?
I'm on the same build CM7 and I have no issues connecting with my network at home, which is WPA2.
It ended up being the AP that was the problem. I'd had this issue on my Nook Color running CM though, so I wasn't sure if it was a problem with the device or the AP. I've flashed several ROMs in the past, and this was my first post so I wasn't rushing to post the first problem I had...I was legitimately stuck, just turned out it wasn't stuck with Android, rather with Linksys Thanks guys!
Hello all, I came from Com Rom 2.1... last week I did an Odin back to DL09 with the PIT repartition. I wiped data, cache, and dalvik. Then flashed the 7/18 CM7 build. I love the ROM and it has been working great except two pretty big issues...
1) My 3G has been really intermittent and I find that I no longer get 3G in spots where I used to. Sometimes the 3G will work but a lot of the time it will simply not respond or my data will switch into 1X mode. I did not have this issues prior to flashing CM7. I can no longer stream Pandora or Spotify in most areas now.
2) My wifi has not worked since flashing CM7. I go to connect to my wifi and get stuck on "Obtaining IP Address". Never had this issue before. Tried FXR Wifi fix and rescue but had no luck.
Any ideas on how to go about fixing my 3G and Wifi? I appreciate it!
Use the latest build of CM7 (build 3)
Refer to: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1190668
This, however, have some issues with the signal bar animations. That is, you appear to have 0 bars but you really have signal.
If that doesn't work start from scratch or read up on this guide on how to switch from comROM to cm7 http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1155477
Good luck

I too am happily on CM7, and suffering intermittent 3G. My wifi is fine. Where does reflashing the ROM come in vs the phone activation fix described elsewhere? I was going to activate another smartphone that is lying around, then reactivate the Fascinate, to see if this helps.
i too am having the same issues, but if i flash cm7 from scratch i get 3g and all other types of mobile data work great but like above when i try to connect to wifi it loops on obtaining ip address, if i then flash the DHCP fix that came with the rom (along with hotfix001 and hotfix002) i can connect to wifi no problem but after several minutes my mobile data decides to vanish and is unable to connect, so is it one or the other? has anyone found a fix for this or am i doing something wrong??
thanks in advance
Router information: Linksys Wireless-N WRT120N
I have done everything that i could think of to get this working. i have done several google searches and they all say to do specific things.
For example:
-Reset router
-Enable B/G only or G only set at channel 11
-turn off router firewall settings
-and a bunch of other random sh*t
i have done all of the above then some and i still cant get it to connect. all i get is *scanning* then *disconnected* thats the only two things it says. except right after i reset the router. every time i reset the router i get * obtaining IP yadadada* then goes to *disconnected* then back to the "scanning, disconnected" loop.
there have been some people that have said flashing a custom firmware on the router would fix the issue with mobile connectivity on Wireless-N routers.
please someone be helpful with this and please dont tell me i need to reset my router. i have asked this same question on several forums and the only replies i get are "if you reset the router and turn off security it WILL work fine" thats bull****. im not an idiot. thats the first step any computer literate person would take before asking questions.
**Update: same as from General thread. i had to repost because it was closed for some reason there. also here are the answers to the other two guys to responded.
"not standing close enough" -i have been standing next to it. i have yet to test it more than 10 feet away lol so it cant be there
"flash another rom or reflash current rom" -it has nothing to do with my rom, kernal, or radio. this issue is also happening on my girlfriends xperia running Wolfxperia and mine is the blackeditionHDv2. its also an issue with her sisters xperia. hers is still stock 2.2(i think). their stepdad has an iphone and it wont connect with that either. from what ive gathered... its a mobile issue. i know all these phones say (b or g only) but even setting the router to broadcast in b/g it still wont connect. it notices the routers name with full strength on all devices. also i might add that their laptop is an older laptop. does not support N but still can connect to the router and have internet.
Same here. Xperia mini x10 pro. When on it says connecting even thought I nothing appear visible.

*sorry for hijacking your post ts*
as for me it just started, before that when i was at col i was able to watsapp as usual, the phone is currently not with me but when i get i will post some ss for you to see.
-------------------------------
Here are the ss
any idea on how i can solve this?
I'm guessing this is an ip issue. The mobile devices are not able to get one. This usually happens to me on a public network and I even get a " limited or no connectivity".
The work around I do is to assign a static ip on my phone. Its very simple to do and if you need help doing it, let me know.
There's no clear explanation I can tell you, but it seems some mobile devices have a hard time pulling ip's from different types of routers. Hope this helps.

Will ask my gf to give it a try. It happened so abruptly, it was working fine when she was at col then when she came back it won't detect any wifi, whether it's her house or mine, and now that she is back at her col she still can't connect.
I know how you feel.
I have had this issue ever since I first upgraded to Stock 2.3.3 last July. On 1.6 and 2.1 (both stock also) I never had issues.
Basically, in my case, resetting the router DOES solve the problem, but only for a limited time. This limited time is random, as sometimes it will work for a few days, and then sometimes it will cut out a few hours again after I have reset my router. I am also using the static IP method (and an app called WiFi Stat which I initially thought had solved the problem, but it hasn't) I'm not sure what triggers the WiFi connection to be lost, but there must be a trigger. Like I said, I never had this issue in my previous old Android versions.
I had hoped (somewhat naively) that moving to a custom ROM would solve the issue, but after installing Wolf's latest ROM, I still have this issue.
Have you tried anything based on 2.3.4 or above, to see if this is an Android 2.3.3 issue? Are there any good ROMs people could recommend that are based on higher versions than 2.3.3?
WEP/WPA key issue?
If its not the kernel/ROM/version of the phone, it could have something to do with the way the security is set up for your router. I had the most frustrating time logging into my university's wireless (think it was encrypted with 802.1x EAP) which required username and password. Though most home-owned router are equipped with WPA/WPA2 PSK or WEP, you can try the steps below:
1. Go to Settings ->Wi-Fi Settings -> Add Wi-Fi network
2. Type in the network SSID (yeah this is the manual part)
3. Open the "Security" drop-down box and set the following:
Security: 802.1x EAP
EAP method: PEAP (default)
Phase 2 auth.: MSCHAPV2
CA cert.: leave unchanged
User cert.: leave unchanged
4. Type in username (if any) and password.
Once again, this would work 99% for 802.1x...not sure about WPA/WEP. Good luck!
Try Channel 6 in router option and hope it works.

setting a static ip doesnt seem to work.. any idea? i wish not to re-flash as i dun think that would be a permanent solution.
again i dun think it has anything to do with my router as other gadgets are able to connect with it and i didnt fiddle with the security.
It is unable to detect any router as i have tried it different hotspots.
Hope to get some help.
------------------------------------
I wipe clear the settings and it worked again.. hope the problem doesn't persist again.
Hi,
Like many others I've had issues with WiFi staying connected since using the jellybean leaks. I had the same with CM10, but if I go back to a stock ICS rom then it works fine. if I reverted back to any jellybean rom then again it will not stay connected.
For me the issue is fixed by change the security on the router from WPA/WPA2 auto to just WPA. With this it connects every time. If I set my router to use WPA2 then again it drops all the time, so it would seem that is has an issue with WPA2.
Maybe others want to give this a test to see if it works for them. Currently I am using DLH6 stock leak.
Maybe this has been posted elsewhere but I thought I would share my findings.
Cheers.
Not working for me. Wifi drops when I move away from the router

Confirmed here.
Im using a beta version of Omega v15 based on DLH6.
I could not connect to wifi no matter what I did.
tried router reboots, changing wifi channel etc.
The status when connecting showed:
- Authenticating (normal)
- Obtaining IP Address (normal)
- Saved, Secured (should show connected)
This repeats several times, before eventually the status shows
Network disabled. Poor connection.
I then tried configuring static IP
This time it connects for a fraction of a second then disconnects and instead of the message 'Network disabled. Poor connection', now it shows:
'Temporarily avoiding poor connection'
I then tried installing different kernels - no improvement.
The only solution that worked was configuring network as WPA only.

Have you tried to forget the network and add it again after changing to WPA?

Here's my fix go back to ics
I get absolutly no connection.. :crying:
From what I've read these tips might also help:
- Change WiFi channel to a free one
- Disable 5Ghz wifi on your router
- Disable 802.11n on you rrouter, just use 802.11g
Hopefully Samsung fixes these issues before releasing official 4.1.1
With the leaked JB stock rom my Wi-Fi works fine. However, with anything related to AOKP or CM10 I now cannot connect at all. It worked previously but something has changed in the last 10days to stop it. I flashed the leaked initial leaked JB stock rom and that's when the problems started when I went back to CM10.
I have a Netgear DGN2000, WNDR3700v2 and also edimax range extender. It prompts me for the password, tries to connect but then just saves the config without connecting. Tried with/without 5g, g only etc.. still no joy.

Use Odin to flash a stock ics Rom and that will fix the WiFi problems on cm10

I tried all solutions that are mentioned here. But I always get disconnected when I move away. I'm at 100% ICS stock rom (updated through KIES today) and still not solved.
Going to bring it back tomorrow and hope to get a replacement or a fix by samsung.
IMO:
your modem changed when you flashed the leak Rom. Easy way to fix You must flash modem through or odin or cwm. or any stock ROM via odin.
(nothing to do with your WiFi router.)
Have you guys tried updating the firmware of your router?
no problems for me.
using Omega v14 (XXDLH4)
Baseband (XXLH1)
Connecting fine with (WPA, WPA2, WEP)
If the problem is with the modem guys, why not use another modem or the one previously used in stock ICS?
How will a modem help WiFi when WiFi is a product of the kernel ??

I have no idea. I just made that suggestion because I saw the other guys discussing using a different modem.
Anyways. The kernel I'm using is the one that came with OMEGA rom, which is the stock kernel that came with the LH4 firmware.
Just to say that this wifi 'speed fix' actually fixes this connection issue for me

Hi, I am also getting this problem. Have you tried flashing a stock rom through ODIN and then install CM9 or any other AOSP rom as suggested by Brian 6685. Does that fix the problem?
Ok, so here's the deal.. I have a DLink DIR-300 router... Ever since I moved to ICS (stock and rooted) on my Galaxy S2, I always have some difficulty to connect my phone to the router...
I get "authentication error" or simply try to connect but then stops trying.
There are only 2 ways to fix this:
1-) Forget the network and turn WiFi off during some minutes.... Then turn it on again and reenter password
2-) Reboot my router
This only happens with this router (which of course drives you to think that's the source of the problem) but the weird thing is that my two brothers also have a Galaxy S2 and have no problems (using different roms)
Any idea of what might be happening or how to solve this once and for all? Additional data of my phone:

Make a nandroid backup of your current setup & try one of the roms your brothers are using & see if it fixes the problem. Could be an issue with the WiFi drivers in the particular stock rom you're using not playing nice with the router.
If it's OK for you using one of those roms but you really want to stay on stock, keep trying stock roms until you find one that doesn't have the problem.
They're the things I'd try if I were facing that problem. A router firmware upgrade might help as well, but given only one phone out of three is having problems, I'd try the above first.
Could it be that one of your brothers blocked you on the router?
There may be a limited set on how many wireless connections your router may be set with and yours has just went over the limit.
You could try using a manual IP, Gateway & DNS rather than DHCP settings that the router would give you.
