Hey Guys.
I seem to be experiencing strange issues with my T-Mobile Amaze 4G and was wondering if it is only me.
Before I continue, I just wanted to note that I already performed a Hard Reset and received the OTA update a couple of weeks ago with no change in the problem.
It seems that everything seems to work well as soon as I restart the phone...but after a while, I notice that my e-mails do not get refreshed/notified from the e-mail app unless I actually go into the app itself.
I have set the e-mail app to check for new messages every 15 minutes with no peak time defined....that is....it checked every 15 minutes all day any time of the day.
Second issue is with Wifi. It seems flaky and I find I must turn off/on Wifi periodically not matter were I am getting Wifi from (i.e. - Home, Work, Coffee Shop, etc...)
Is it just me having these strange issues?
Is there a fix for it?
Thank All.
I don't have email issues when I am connected to 2G/4G.
I do, however, have issues with WiFi. Specifically the corporate WiFi at my work. It just won't connect. It gets stuck in the authenticating/disconnecting loop. Very annoying as this is the only phone I have not been able to connect to the WiFi at work. All of my prior phones connected with no problems, e.g. Motorola Photon, HTC Evo 3D, HTC Touch Pro II (Sprint and T-Mobile versions), iPhone 3/3GS/4. All of them will connect but my Amaze won't.
Is this par for the course or could I have a bad Amaze, again? I am on my 2nd one by the way. The first one had the same auth/disco loop problem, too.
My WiFi connects at work when it feels like it, which isn't often. At home its just fine.
I have the same thing happen to me as well between Home and Work Wifi.
It would seem that Corporate Wifi systems usually require the "Use secure credentials" to be enabled in order to connect (Settings, Security, Use secure credentials).
If it isn't checked...then no Corporate Wifi will connect.
It would seem that HTC released an update for the Amaze today (Dec. 12).
I have updated my phone...we'll see if it works any better.
Wish me luck...
Apparently HTC is rolling out an OTA that includes WiFi calling: http://forum.xda-developers.com/forumdisplay.php?f=1319
Not sure if it's T-Mobile USA only or not...
Thought I'd post my observations...
My wi-fi at home (wpa2 personal) works flawlessly. Wi-fi at work (wpa2 enterprise) is able to connect and works great but after 40-50 minutes gets stuck in the authentication loop for unknown reasons. While in this auth loop, it seems to be in a transition state - neither wifi or TMO data mode and no synching occurs. Turning wifi off then back on will resolve but is a pita.
However, once the enterprise wifi is enabled (using credentials) the advanced power menu stops working - the long press of the power button functionality. Clearing the credentials usually re-enables the power button long press functionality, sometimes this requires a battery pull to restart.
Even with these small (at least for me) inconveniences, the Amaze is the best phone I've ever had!

About the email thing, do you have "auto sync" on?

You bet I do...still flaky.
I actually have to run the e-mail app to get my new messages.
A real PITA.
Did the ota update and WiFi seems to be better, more testing after lunch.
It's still not an instant connect like at home, but it does connect much sooner now at work.

Do you connect using WPA2 Enterprise at work? If so, are you able to enable Wi-Fi Calling?
I called 611 and they were not much help. Only thing came out of that call was maybe the WPA2 Enterprise enforces additional security for UMA (WiFi) calls resulting with REG99 error for me. I'll try from home with the WPA2 Personal connection later.
I'm reading TmoNews and it says IMS WiFi calling. 611 told me UMA...
Tried the WiFi calling from home (WPA2 Personal) and it works great. The router at work must be causing the REG99.
we're on a WEP network at work and at home so not sure why home works but not work. It may have to do with the firewalls and all that, but I'm not sure.
I ran into the same problem with email syncing. Here's a work around...
Use "tasker" and get the plugin for it called
"Synker"
Make a repeating profile that links to Synker and voila. You can control when and how often it syncs...

My WiFi performance stinks with this phone. I just got the 1.43 update today and it's not any better. With my old Nexus One I didn't have problems, but when connected at home (shown as WPA/WPA2 PSK) I get lots of time out errors and just about every action in the Market loads very slowly. When it finally does start a download they go OK but getting opening an app page or getting a download to start takes a long time. It is very weird.
I'm running stock.

I don't think it's the phone. I run stock and average 6-11Mbps down and 7-8Mbps up with my WPA2 Personal router connection.
I'm having data connectivity issues on the corporate Wifi (enterprise 802.1x encryption). I can connect initially, but after about 10 minutes (sometimes as much as 30 minutes), I'll lose data functionality but the wifi stays connected. My old Vibrant works fine at work, but the Amaze drops the data. It seems to happen when I switch access points. My sign-on credentials are fine. I can't seem to find any other similar issues out there and support was no help (t-mo, htc, etc). A factory reset didn't change anything. My home wi-fi works fine so this issue is a bit frustrating. Anyone else experiencing this issue? I'm feeling quite alone on this issue unfortunately....love the phone otherwise. I'm running stock.
I'm having the same problem with the router at my work. It will say connected but not data is sent or received. Any other phone works just fine on the same router. My amaze works just fine on any other router. I've disabled all security access on the router at work and the only phone that seems unable to connect to this router is the amaze. (I've tried 2 other w/the same result)

I have been using Beast mod for 3 days now and email has not been syncing, along with facebook and twitter. the sync icon has been on for a few days but nothing is syncing properly. Could it be something to do with a custom kernel?
Just to throw my 2cents in, I was struggling with connecting to the wifi at home, it would connect ok but then never transmit any data. Everything else connected and worked fine, also connected to other routers with the phone and no issues. Long story short, I limited my router to just B and G (no N) and it fixed everything. Phone works great now.
It seems like there are a good handful of users having issues with wireless going to sleep/losing connection. I have my wireless set to never sleep however when my screen is off for 15 minutes or so my wireless is in a state of "obtaining ip address" and never seems to re connect unless I toggle wireless on/off. I have also tried turning 3G off while in wireless range and this did not help.
I usually only see this when I'm at work and the connection to the AP is weak. I have not had this problem at home where the connection to the AP is strong.
I had this same issue with the Eclipse ROM version 1.3. Although it seems to be amplified with cm7.
Also my install was off a fresh sbf, this is my only issue and it is by far not a deal breaker.
Figured I would start this thread since the cm7 thread is getting quite large to sift through.
If anyone has a solid workaround please share!

I'm getting some of this behavior. I set my wifi sleep policy to "never," but every now and then I'll pick up my phone and notice the wifi disconnected itself (but was still "on") and won't get past "obtaining IP address."
So yeah, my fix has been the same as yours (turn off wifi, then turn it back on).
Same here. I downloaded wifi fixer off the market but that didn't help any.

I am unable to get mine to work at all. It will start to connect then when it gets to obtaining IP address it quits and the network shows disabled. It does this everytime no matter which settings I use.

I have to set my screen to stay on for large downloads or it disconnects. Sometimes it will lock up my whole network and have to reset router. Dlink dir615.

Same here. Everything I have tried has not helped at all.
Something I noticed on mine is when this happens the green skin on the wireless and signal (data network) icons is gone.
And if I turn off wifi and back on, the green skin is re applied and wireless works.
I'm running adw ex (paid) but other than that everything follows the install steps exactly in the OP from the cm7 beta thread. I've not installed the tethering patch pre or post BT.

Do you mean that your icons turn white? That's normal with any ROM or build. It means that you are connected with the router or cell service, but that it is giving you an ip and opening ports to allow you to use it.
With that said, since Eclipse 1.3, I have always had it randomly d/c or turn white, in which case even though I'm still technically connected, I can't use the service. Likely a Motorola problem.

Yes that's exactly what I mean, thanks for pointing that out I had no idea..
Thanks for the input!
Lol no problem. I only assume its a Motorola problem because its been fairly consistent with my phone, through multiple ROMs, but I can't remember prior to Eclipse 1.3 if I was experiencing it. For all I know it could be a build.prop mod that a lot of our devs are using that may indirectly do it.
I've been having the same (or similar) problems with Wifi on CM7DX2. I did some experimentation and some debugging and have it narrowed down to what I think is a problem with DHCPCD fetching an IP (or rather, failing to do so). Here's my observations:
If Wireless is off and I toggle it on, it has no problem getting onto the network at work (open 802.11g) or at home (WPA2-AES 802.11n). The connection seems fine for a while (so long as I'm using the phone, though that only tends to be in bursts of 10-15 minutes or so). Once the phone goes to sleep (or I put it to sleep) it seems to put wifi to sleep (only a guess), but only once the phone has been sleeping for a couple of minutes or more. If I sleep it and immediately wake it up, it seems okay. I have my wifi configured to never go to sleep.
Once wifi wakes up, it attempts to connect to the network, sits there at obtaining an ip, then fails, sometimes marking the connection as "Disabled". I did some troubleshooting, including poking through the phone logs and saw some stuff related to dhcpcd. Unfortunately, all that's sitting on my laptop at home at the moment. I'll try and get that posted when I get home.
Working on the theory that dhcpcd is the problem, I tried setting a static ip at home (can't do it at work or the network people yell at you). Sure enough, the problem seemed to go away. So, as far as I can tell, the wireless driver itself, as well as wpa supplicant, seem to work fine. It's just dhcpcd fails to be able to obtain an IP until you power cycle wireless.
If any of the devs who have more of a clue about the internals of the android network stack can chime in and ask more questions, I'd be more than happy to provide what information I can gather. I'm a Linux admin, so I'm very comfortable with a command line if I know what to look for. I'm just not too familiar with the android way of doing things (which seems very different than a normal Linux distro).
Thanks!
Edit:
I forgot, I have a crashplan backup of my laptop, so I was able to grab the file... here's the relevant bits of data related to dhcpcd
E/dhcpcd (23840): open_udp_socket: Cannot assign requested address
E/dhcpcd (22434): open_udp_socket: Cannot assign requested address
E/WifiStateTracker( 1978): DHCP request failed: Timed out waiting for dhcpcd to start
E/dhcpcd (22434): open_udp_socket: Cannot assign requested address
E/dhcpcd (23840): open_udp_socket: Cannot assign requested address

E/dhcpcd (24060): flock `/data/misc/dhcp/dhcpcd-eth0.pid': Try again
E/WifiStateTracker( 1978): DHCP request failed: Timed out waiting for dhcpcd to start
It repeats that stuff over and over again when it fails to be able to connect to a network. When it's successful, dhcpcd is silent.

Sounds like a install problem. all the skins have the icons so if its a big deal to not have them I would reinstall.

Its not an install issue. Icons for 3g and wifi turning white is common; it tells you that you're connected with the router or cell tower but aren't receiving a usable internet connection yet. I expect that its having a hard time obtaining an IP like one post already detailed.
Also, on a side note, my phone just decided after a week of normalcy to try to autocorrect "wifi" to "Sofia". Figured you should all be aware of this travesty.
I have my network setup to assign ip address according to mac address cause i need certain devices to always have same ip. Well i switched my Droid x2 to manual ip instead of dhcp and disconnects no longer happen when screen goes off. Going to test test of night but seems good so far. So for some reason it has to do with dhcp like other post said.

No I sbf before any new ROM i flash just for a fresh start.
It almost seems to me like the wifi is going to sleep even tho i have it set to never sleep. It also only seems to happen when i have a weaker signal to the AP. I don't even bother using wifi at work anymore because it got so bad. This happened with liberty and eclipse 1.3 but not nearly as bad as with cm7.
I mainly only notice it at work because i will leave my phone idle on my desk for long periods of time and when i return the wifi is stuck "trying to acquire ip address"and will not unless i toggle wifi. I do sometimes notice it while my phone is in use. I stream sirius/xm and anytime it cuts out i turn on my phone and sure enough it's "trying to acquire ip address".
Like i said in op it's not a deal breaker by any means it's just something i noticed got worse once i went to cm7.
This is by far the best ROM I've used on the dx2, although i haven't tried miui yet.

Some additional observation tonight. While setting a static ip will make sure you can get back online over wifi, I don't think it's actually preventing the root problem. I just woke the phone up and it looked like the wifi had disconnected while sleeping (the wifi "bars" were all grey for a second before they filled in). So, while there seems to be some problem with dhcpcd fetching an ip after waking from sleep, the wifi shouldn't be sleeping in the first place, but it is. Is it possible that setting in the CM7 Wifi Settings menu isn't actually affecting the behavior of the driver (or whatever actually puts it to sleep)?

I think your right, it was more consistent on static ip but it did eventually lock up my router again. The constant connects and disconnects must freak out the router.

I've been playing with an TP now for about a week or so. When I got it, the WiFi worked great, on both bootups. Now if I turn off the device and restart the WiFi never works on Android unless I go through the hassle of wiping my Delvik and or playing with a code I have for SuperUser. However if I boot up in WebOS, WiFi is there and connects immediately to any WiFi in the area.
Answers?!
Thanks in advance!
Not sure if Android wifi is perhaps detailed in another topic, but i'll post my issue here too while i keep searching for a solution.
I connect easily WebOS to Nexus One using "Portable Wi-Fi Hotspot" ..but in CM9 the wifi loops "Obtaining IP Address, Saving.. Obtaining IP Address" ..repeatedly.
Has anyone succeeded yet with Android-to-Android via portable hotspot?
EDIT: Okay, after re-applying sledgehammer, rebooting everytime i turn on TP's wi-fi (+ few FCs), disconnecting and reconnecting a few more times, it's finally connecting.. occasionally.
I'm not even trying to use the portable hotspot, at this point just trying to connect to my router at home, which it had no problem with earlier.
But the TP keeps looping the same as you...
"Obtaining IP Address, Saving.. Obtaining IP Address"
At least I'm not getting the 'force close' box anymore. Lol
I had terrible connection issues on CM7 and after installing CM9 all seemed fine until my first reboot, then I couldn't connect at all.
A few days ago, I changed my linksys router wireless channel from 11 to 4 and have not lost connection a single time since, even after multiple reboots. I have seen several others say they have had similar success.
However this happens no matter where I'm at, or who's router I'm using. ( I currently have an ActionTec, via Verizon), and I use the TP at school, so no idea what they have set up as wireless.
Had some issues with the portable hotspot from my iPhone but after making the TP forget the connection, toggling the wifi on both devices I can pick it up again. Not too bad. No issues with my home router.
I had to do the same, I 'Forgot' the network, then I toggled the Wifi on and then off. For whatever reason it has no issues staying connected to my home network now.
However at work I have to do that forget n' toggle everytime I reboot it.
Did you do a clean install or on top of CM7? When I loaded on top, I had many problems.
After an uninstall and fresh load of CM9, I do not have any problems like I use to experience in CM7. I would remove WiFi profiles and re-connect when going from Home to Office networks. I have none of that now in CM9, knock on wood.
I had issues frequently with CM7 and wifi, as was common. I haven't had any issues with CM9 or preludedrews latest build. I follow the "kill a fly with a sledgehammer" approach. I wipe data/factory reset, then wipe cache, advanced>wipe dalvik, mounts>format system, cache, data. Then installed. It takes an extra second to do all the wipes, but with experimental builds like this I always do it.
Now the only android issue I can't fix is ironically the xda app. In CM7, xron, CM9, or preludedrew's build whenever I try to do anything it FCs. That is my only complaint right now.

I was not having the wifi troubles that two other touchpad owners I know were having. I installed Android on both of their devices, but couldn't figure out what to do to fix it and it was making me insane. Finally, we reset all our routers to a channel below 5 and found that they all connected to wifi well, HOWEVER, I found a better solution. I don't know if anyone has noticed this, but this must be a setting I fiddled with on my TP, that the other two TP owners had not fiddled with.
Go into Wifi Settings, then click the Menu button at the bottom left (the three bars)... click Advanced then click Regulatory Domain. In my touchpad, I had clicked on the 11 Channel option. On the two touchpads that could not regularly connect to wifi, neither had a selection made whatsoever under "Regulatory Domain." After clicking "11 Channels," all three touchpads can connect to wifi with no issues AT ALL, no matter the channel.
I almost can't believe this hasn't been posted in other forums yet, because it seems to be the key and much easier than setting every router you want to connect to, to a different channel.
Please let me know if this works.
Thanks for the tip. My touchpad had nothing selected either in that menu. Hopefully this will solve my wifi woes!

nice find thanks I'll give it a try
i cant even find the wifi settings/menu. i go into the wifi and can view the networks available, look at known connections, and when i look at preferences i'm only given one option to toggle which is whether the wifi turns on or off while sleeping.
so where do i look to find the above mentioned wifi settings which leads to the menu button that i cannot find? thanks.

I don't thank it is for CM9.
It's on top corner. You can access menus there. However, on CM9 build I do not have the regulatory options to change the channels as you explained. It's an advanced tab that gives me access to sleep policy, etc. Are you on CM7?
Yep, it's only CM7.

Sorry, I should have specified that I'm on CM7. It works so wonderfully for me that I won't be doing CM9 until many more of the bugs are worked out.
I'm running Miui with CM7 base. I do not see where these 'menu' options are. *head scratching*.. Is it under the 'advanced' tab?
Found it, but it to is selected with 11 channels already.
# rm -rf /data/misc/wifi && reboot
this also works, but it's a pain to have to copy and paste it and run it through the terminal daily. just hoping for a solid fix. cm9 seems to be the way to go, but once they have a few more of the bugs worked out.
This is a weird one. For a month I have been using the Leedroid rom with Honeycomb. I have the /htc /flyer 32gb with 3g (UK). In the last few days I have lost my internet connection on both wIFI and on 3g. I did get it back for a few hours today and now I can't connect again!
Having a tablet with without connectivity is a bit like having a fancy brick :-(
I have tried removing the Sim card and re-inserting it and trying a different wifi router.
Anyone else had issues like this?
i assume you haven't made any changes/modifications/installations recently that may have messed with it?
for your 3G connectivity, put your sim card in your phone to determine whether the issue lies with the sim card or the Flyer...also check your APN settings
same with wifi - can you connect your phone to your router's wifi?
my guess is that you installed an app that's messed with your settings
Problem solved (sort of)
Thanks for the reply
You may have been right that an app messed up my settings. I know the APN settings were correct as I could connect from my Nokia phone using them and the SIM card. I could also use two other definitely internet connected routers.
In the end I did a factory reset using CWM. After a few scary moments after the re-boot it was working again. Evidenced by the fact that after reboot the tablet tried to download my previously installed apps again!
I have had to re-do some settings and the Flyer seems to be runnng a lot more smoothly than before. Still no idea what caused my problems but will definitely be checking after I install apps in future that my web connection stays up just in case! Update, it seems my g and ADSL wifi are not getting along together - had no probs before though....mmmm....

either way, it is far more likely that the issue would be settings other than ROM related, else everyone else would be having the same issues
you could also try something like this

I have an Asus Slider Sl101. Around 3 days ago, our router had been changes as the previous one wasn't working properly. Our carrier is Charter and our router is Netgear. We hooked every device up to that new router and everything worked fine, including the tablet. But later on in the day,the Internet on there stopped working.
It shows that it's connected, but when I try to access the internet through the browser, it does not work. The blue line at the top of the browser starts up, moves forward a little, and stops entirely while the browser then says "Webpage Not Available". Apps that require Internet, such as Accuweather and my SAT apps, fail to work as well. Other devices that use our wifi include another computer and Nintendo DSi and 3DS. They all work fine. Our router shows that our android is connected to it, as well.
I've tried the static IP stuff, restarted the router, left the wifi off on the tablet for a few hours, and turned it off and off. I even factory resetted it and not even that helped.
I apologize in advance if I haven't given enough information; that's as much as I know save for whatever I can include from the tablet (IP Address and such).
Try changing encryption method

I'm sorry, but what is an encryption method?
Also, I just went to Starbucks and the Internet worked fine, so I know that it's not the tablet that giving problems.

It can be modified from the admin panel of your router. Obviously, each connected device must be upgraded to the new encryption method.
However, you can simply do a test and see if the connection works

Oh! Under "security", it says "WPA/WPA2 PSK". I believe it has always said that, even with our old router.

Probably
If the problem is not of the device, many network problems are usually caused by encryption or are due to the channel where the router works. Both settings are settable in the admin panel.
Try changing these.. Remember to make a backup first!

The things is, though, my tablet was working when we changed the router. Ever since then, nothing has changed when it comes to settings and all. Every other mobile device is working well and the computer out front that uses wifi works well.
In your eyes, the router seems to be the main problem, right? Do you think if we call our internet provider--Charter-- and ask for a new one that it might be able to work as it will be new and all? Or will it most likely not help too much?

If the problem is the settings of the router, this will not solve the problem..
The device successfully connects to other networks? You can do this test to see if the problem is the device or not.

Is the router 2.4 or 5ghz, and is the tablet the same?
