Hi!
I'm from Portugal and I have a Sony Ericsson Live with Walkman and just recently rooted it. It was running Android 2. and I flashed it to Cyanogenmod's Coconut (9.1.0).
I had been using the wifi connection with no problems until recently it just won't connect, to any wifi. I've been abroad and back and it doesn't work anywhere. It appears to get stuck on a loop trying to "get the IP address...". I also noticed as soon as it tries to connect the connection appears as "low" and with only one bar, even though it was previously listed with full bars. After a few tries it gives up and lists the wifi address as "Avoided poor network connection".
I don't remember changing any configurations so I can't work out a reason for this to be happening. Can anyone please help? Is there something I can/should do?
Thanks!
there should be advance setting on the wifi setting submenu, probably got soft button to press on bottom or need to press menu key (can't remember exactly), either way, untick "avoid poor wifi network" on the advance setting.

Hi! Thanks for the quick reply
Unfortunately I can't find any "avoid poor wifi network" on the advanced settings menu. I attached a photo of that menu here. I'm sorry it's in portuguese but maybe it gives you an idea of what's in there.

i have a galaxy s and ever since installing firmware jvs my wifi sleep policy hasnt worked at all. when i have sleep set to never the wifi reconnects every 59 seconds without fail. when never when plugged in is selected its the same. when turn off when screen turns off is selected the wifi doest turn off with the screen, or at all as far as i can see. infact this is the only setting where the wifi doesnt reconnect all the time (need to test this further to be sure). i think roms are based on the stock gingerbread so maybe its that thats broken?
I'm using Dell streak 10 pro tablet now, and also have same issue as you, you could set the wifi IP manually(static IP), don't by dhcp dynamically.
I'm also finding app to fix the dhcp issue.
Open up Rom Manager and click "Fix Permissions" let it do its thing then restart. That worked for me.
Im using na 16gb wifi only flyer
i was using stock gingerbread
and updated to honeycomb build
when i was using gingerbread my wifi connection was fine
but after i updated ( i tried every honeycomb roms in here)
wifi connection gets disconnect and re connect every few minute
i found out that when i set the password (router) this problems
continue.. When i disable the password wifi connection had
no problem.. But i need to set up the passworld..
Those anyone know how to solve this problem?
Hey. I had the same issue as well. I just recently got mine and I searched and found this. I'm not taking credit for this since it's not mine, but it helped me fix my issues.
1. Go to Settings > Wireless & networks > Wi-Fi settings.
2. Long press the network you are currently connected to.
3. Press Modify network.
4. Scroll to IP settings and select Static.
5. Keep everything else the same, and press Save.
Someone also said that he was using an older router, like me, and so he bought a new one and it worked. But this is a FAR cheaper fix for those of us without $$.
Just bought an S2 off a friend that's been rooted.
Running ICS 4.0.3 XWLPG kernal with the wanamlite V.12.0 Rom
My data internet works absolutely fine, but im having trouble configuring the WIFI. It's taken over 3 hours and ive given up searching the forum.
When I connect to Wifi via the settings - I get the screen saying "turning wifi on". It doesnt do nothing, just constantly stays like that.
If i go into the advance settings i have...
network notifications checked.
wifi frequency band set to auto - ive changed this but doesnt do anything.
I have a mac address.
and for IP it says unavailable.
Somebody please help me orelse i might end up losing my hair very soon.
Thank you.
Any ideas? Anyone?
wifi direct
Im having another problem with wifi but its with resurrection rom 2.3. Donno how to configure wifi direct or what explorer to use to send via wifi. All i can find is a tick box that says wifi direct.
I'd flash a stock ROM. Then you'll see if its a problem with your current rom or not.
Sent from my next
Yeah, I've had same kind of problems with a stock ROM. Now the WiFi has been working just fine but sometimes I had the same problem as you do. No idea why it does it.
I have a not rooted galaxy, and I have the same prob. It mostly happens when you turn on/off wifi directly from settings instead of going to settings --> connections --> wifi etc. (ics feature)
I solve the problem with rebooting my phone...
Only takes 30 seconds.
Hope i helped!

Hi, Thanks for your reply.
Can I ask what you mean by a stock ROM - do you mean one that is not insecure rather the original?
I fix it by turning airplane mode on and off. But it doesn't occur after I changed to a custom rom

Dial *#*#526#*#* wait for some
time until you see ‘process was
successful’ on the screen. You
can repeat this whenever you see
this problem.
If that does not work, Search Google playstore for an app called FIX MY WIFI. It's a paid app but
I've tried it in the past and it worked after reboot.
Good luck
Hello everyone i faced the same problem and solved it by an app called wifi fix which is made by amid M Geha :good:
[my apologies in advance if there's a thread on something like this already - the XDA forum search function was not working this morning]
I've got a sort of bizarre problem that I cannot sort out.
We have an open wi-fi network at work which I've been connecting to with my Inc4g [not rooted, still running stock everything] since last summer. At some point in December, though, I stopped being able to connect to it. Here's where it gets weird:
A) My other co-workers with various other kinds of phones have not noticed any change or disruption with the work wi-fi,
B) I brought my old 2010 Incredible to work the other day and it had no trouble immediately connecting to the wi-fi network, and
C) My Inc4g still connects to our wi-fi network at home with no issues
So it is very specifically an issue with my Inc4g connecting to my work's open wi-fi.
When I toggle my wi-fi on, this is exactly what happens:
1) it sees the saved network
2) it then just constantly goes back and forth between "saved" and "connecting"
3) it also occasionally flips wi-fi off entirely and briefly displays the "to see available networks, switch on wi-fi" message... but then it flips wi-fi back on and goes back to #2
It shows signal strength for the network as poor if I look at the modify network menu, but that seems unlikely given A and B above. I have also tried telling it to forget the network and rescan, but that does not change anything. I have NOT asked firm IT about whether they changed anything with our routers, but it seems like that should not be the issue.
Any thoughts or suggestions???
Thanks for reading the tl;dr if you made it this far.

I have already tried telling it to "forget network" and that that didn't help.
Or do you mean something else when you say "erase?"
In the menu where it shows the networks hit the menu button then select advanced then un check the one that says avoid poor connections

Are you rooted and/or s-off? Which ROM are you running? If stock, old or new?

Whoops -- forgot to add that info -- not rooted.
Started the unlock process with htcdev back in July literally hours after they shut that down (when folks did not even realize they had shut it down) and then never got around to tinkering after that. Most recent software update was Oct. 2012.
Might as well also add --
Not only does my phone connect successfully to WiFi at home, but it also connects to my open work network when upstairs in our cafeteria (obviously via different router).
It just doesn't work in my specific place in the building. It presumably has to do with the router near my workstation. From the exact same location, various other Android phones and iPhones all connect without issue. It's driving me nuts.

That is truly bizzare.
When you try and "forget" the network, does it disappear from the list? But the problem returns when you try to reconnect, or does it never leave the list?

Yeah, it's gone from the list of networks when I tell it to forget. If at home, it stays gone. And if at work, it only reappears when it rescans for available networks.
I'm sort of tempted to just factory reset at this point, but don't feel like losing all my settings/apps/etc.

Hello everyone,
Last week, suddenly i could not connect to my Home Wifi. And now that I am at the office a tryed again. No luck.
When I hit the SSID in my netwrok list it seems to connect but within a seconde it says: savec, secured. And I un-disable the screen so i can hit the network name again.
I just performed a reset, probleem is sill here. Is this a hardware issue? Is there some logging somewhere?
Kind regards,

If you are on stock rom, you can try entering service mode by dialling *#0011# and disabling Wireless Power Saving mode.
There was another fix involving etc/wifi folder on the device,but I cant find the thread atm.

It actualy disconnects only 1 second after trying to connect.

I'm trying to find the right thread which had this info.
You can also make sure that the router doesn't have too many connected devices, sometimes that is also a problem.
BUT if it connects and then drops (It says "Connected" then "Saved, Secured") then that could also mean hardware issue. Because there is no problem connecting but your phone can not maintain connectivity.

I think it's an hardware issue. It stops suddenly after 2 years of good service. Do you know if it's something that can be replaced? Or is is on the mainboard? And shoudl i buy a new one?
