i have since tired of not being able to use the major redeeming feature of this phone , which is the quality camera, so i decided to use a stock based ROM, hence FERALAB 20.
I really am not sure this a a fault of the ROM, given that i have noticed it on another previous ROM, but the thing is i cannot detect the WIFI signal from my WIMAX router using this ROM.
wifi works fine, and it does detect my neighbours WIFI networks, but i cannot seem to fathom why it does not detect mine.
like i said, i did notice this on another rom iv tried in the past, but when i changed to FXP 7.2 it worked just fine and detects my wifi network.
I would like to use a stock based ROM so im wondering if their is something i can do to help the situation.
precisely why does this ROM not see thuis particular WIFI signal, but does see others when the same phone running FXP does?
pls note that other devices, phones, laptops do connect to this router without any problem.
and i have noticed also that when i go into wifi settings on my phone, for hotspot settings it has just the options for WPA and Open modes, and no WEP option!
does that mean that the ROM cannot handle WEP connections? FXP works just fine
WEP hotspot is not available because it is a weak security. iPhone hotspots are WEP. android is always a step ahead of iPhone. So, android uses WPA hotspot. even a noob like me can crack a WEP password in 6 hours max if u wanna learn more, google for a software called aircrack. WPA is very very hard to hack. So, basically be happy that android is unhackable and iPhone is hackable.
---------------
if u are using WEP, i recommend changing to WPA or u will never know if your neighbour is stealing ur wifi. this should solve ur prob. and android cannot create WEP hotspot, but can join. i have no idea y u cant join WEP

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.

Has it ever worked or it just not Working now? It happened to me before I reverted to stock and it worked

*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.
First off i apologize if this is in the wrong section, so please move if needed mods. Well i have a problem connecting to wifi. Not just any old wifi, particularly my school wifi. I have come to figure out that for the life of me i cannot connect to my schools wifi whenever i run any sense based rom on my 3vo. I also couldn't connect to my schools wifi with my hero with any sense based rom as well. It seems like the problem is sense then because i have no problem connecting when i run aosp or cyanogen. When i connect with an aosp rom all i have to do is input the username/identity and password, 3 seconds later im connected. With any sense based roms i get it detects the signal but automatically prompts me for the password, no other option. Networking is not my forte but if i recall the security that my school uses is wpa enterprise peap or something along those lines. Now i know some of you may say just run an aosp rom but sometimes i need full functionality and i cant swap on the fly (hboot 1.5 htc unlock method)Any help would be greatly appreciated because i hate not having any network access at school. Thanks in advance
PS. ive tried adding manually but still no help, ive also tried that wifi configurator app to see if it could help but alas... Zilch!
first of all let me ask you if your friends have htc phones and if any of them runs in the same problem if using a sense rom. it's pretty strange. try wifi manager from market maybe u get lucky https://market.android.com/details?...51bGwsMSwxLDEsIm9yZy5rbWFuLldpZmlNYW5hZ2VyIl0.
Yeah a few friends of mine have HTC phones none of us can connect, they all run stock roms too, no root for them. We all get the same prompt for password without being able to enter username and password. I'll try out this manager though and see how what happens
Thanks
I am on the nocturnal rom and I have major wifi and connection issues. im rooted s still on with hboot1.50 but I have flashed a new rom a new kernel and also wifi manager nothing works
Hey!
I have been disconnected for a month...
Still there isn't fix for the problem with wifi using WPA2 on Xperia's after upgrade to ICS? I've tried to change algorithm to only AES or only TKIP, and when I do it, it works for a while, but later it starts the connecting/disconnecting bucle.
i have poor peformance on wpa 2 but when using no security my wifi works great. FXP 128 CM9

As you can read on the topic title, I talk about WPA2. With no security or WEP (don't know about WPA) it works perfect, but obviously have a router without security or WEP nowadays is dumb.

im talking about wpa 2 too.. using it at home. When using train i can use public free wifi. but this works waaay better than wpa 2 which is unstable
Hi, I'm on ICS (official) and didn't see any performance issue with WPA2 between ICS & GB.
I use my phone @ home & work. Both routers are using WPA2, AES only and there is no problem at all.

I had issues with my wifi too after switching to ICS (any Rom!).
Disabling Encryption (WEP / WPA didnt matter) helped a bit,
but there were still wifi dropouts.
But meanwhile i know what the Problem was!
ICS doesn´t like my old Router (Alice DSL Router)...
no idea why, GB worked, ICS not
Now i switched to another Router (Fritzbox 7240).
All Wifi Problems gone
i have speedport w503v (t-home router, they give it for free to use their services), any form of wpa2 is rejected when using ICS, no probs at all in GB.
i switched to wpa (tkip) and have no prob at all now.
so for users that have probs with wifi on ICS and dont want to leave ur wifi unprotected u have 2 solutions:
1: buy new router (be sure its tested and works with our phones on ICS)
2. switch wifi protection to WPA (TKIP) or (AES)--aes not tested by me-- it hope it works
3. stay in GB 2.3
no progress wifi related.
I have two routers too. In a TP-Link it works and in the one provided by ISP (Observa Telecom) it doesn't (neither WPA2 nor WPA).
Prolly you are wondering why I don't use the TP-Link (W8961ND) then? Because it is a ****ing ****!!! It has bad perfomance and doesn't even show basic information like connected clients...
similar case :
Mt15i ICS + router wpa/2:
router hitron: works ok
router conceptronic: continuously authenticating
Gingerbread: both routers working ok
The problem is ICS, or SONY ICS.
Greetings forum!
My setup:
Verizon Note II running PACMAN ROM 20.1.0
I was wondering if it's possible to change the channel that the Wi-Fi hotspot uses? I've scoured the forums and found that most people say theirs works very consistently and I thought mine was not . . . I can enable the wifi tethering option and my Mac Air connects ok, but it just doesn't browse the internet consistently. I thought I was an unlucky one until I noticed that my Windows laptop and Nexus 7 work just fine!!
I instantly had flashbacks to when I used to have a Clear Wifi Hotspot that only supported channels 1 through 7 and three different Mac Air's would not connect to it, but other devices were fine. The ultimate fix for that situation was to get a different hotspot that supported up to channel 11 and set it static to that. I don't know what it is about my neighborhood, the Mac Air, or what, but it just did not like to work on anything other than channel 11. I was waiting for the Spinal Tap joke from the Clear representative, but never got it.
I recently utilized a tip from Kaleb Randleaxe (thank you kind sir!!) to add ro.agps.allow=false to my bulid.prop and it fixed my GPS not working while the Mobile Network Location option was enabled!! Now I'm one fix away from having a perfect phone again. His suggestion made me wonder if there is a similar line I could add to build.prop to force the Wifi Hotspot to a certain channel? I have already tried changing the ro.wifi.channels to 11 and 14 with no success, but thats the total number of channels, right?
I actually got grandfathered in on unlimited Mobile Hotspot through Verizon, so I pay for the service and wish I could just use the native VZ hotspot app. I actually used to set that to channel 11 for best compatibility with my devices as well. At this point, there is no way I'm going back to a stock ROM after using PAC, and I hear it is built in to the TW framework.
I just got into ErfanROM (Stock 7.1) and it's really an awesom job. The ROM is really fluid.
However, since I installed it, not only this ROM but every other that I flash in my phone ends up getting WiFi connectivity issues.
Apparently, WiFi with WPA2 keys just can't find a way to authenticate. Can anyone lend me a hand?
PS.: All other devices connected to the network can still connect to wifi with no problems.
Thanks a lot
Any differences with open networks and/or with 5 GHz ones?
