Hi, my wifi isn't working after instaling black 2.0. My wifi card does turn on but no longer finds wireless networks. I even tried to enter in my wireless network with no encryption and it says not connecetd after trying for 20 seconds. I've tried to search for similar issues on this board but found nothing. Does anyone have the same problemm?
I have windows mobile 6. CE OS 5.1.195 (build 17740.2.3.0)
Rom version Pro black 2.0
Rom date 01/04/07
(irrelevant, i know) 1.16.00.00
Have you tried a hard reset? Most of us with Black 2.0 do not have wifi issues. I doubt if your issue is caused by Black 2.0
yes i've tried a hard reset, several times actually.
how many threads to we need for WIFI issues with WM6 roms, i think this is the 4th?
my wifi also dont working
it connect with the roter but can surf in M.IE
Ummm... once you go Black, you can't go back?
It started to work on its own now... strange. thx for the help
try this!
I know that my WiFi is not working unless I slide slider in WiFi control panel to the left ("best performance"). Without this WiFi is connected, but not working.

Greetings everyone. I've had a T-Mobile Dash (the black one) for quite a while now, but since I got it has a really weird problem with the WIFI. When I turn on the WIFI it searches the connections flawlessly, I can put the key on any connection or enter freely when is open. But then it says connecting and a few seconds later it says connections available again, as if it tried to connect and could not. This happens with ALL connections, unsecured, WEP, ect. I had installed every cooked rom available and also installed the stock one to see if it works, but alas, nothing works. Does anyone has any tips or tricks on how to get the WIFI working?

Have you considered that probably the router your phone is searching has a problem? or you tried in other location and still the same problem?

Thanks for the suggestion, but yeah, I already did that. I have tried connection in many routers and in all happen the same thing. It is a really weird problem and searching through the 3VO thread I saw somebody had the same problem but no answer. I am ready to just accept that my Dash is WIFI less forever. I have tried everything. But thanks anyway
Hey guys hope you can help me. I've been using internet sharing for a while but since HTC's most recent OTA update I cant get it to work while on 3G/HSDPA - the laptop cant seem to communicate with the DNS servers and I get an exclamation mark in a yellow triangle by the connections icon in the system tray. When forcing the Desire to use GPRS it works well - although its very slow, obviously.
Interestingly 3G/HSDPA works fine on my Desire - I get emails and web browsing no issues there. I also noticed since the update that it takes an awful long time for the radio on my desire to start data connection (a good 30''). i guess both issues are related to the OTA update which, by reading comments on this forum seemed to create more problems than it solved. Any idea guys as to what tweak I could use to force the laptop to connect to the DNS servers when using 3G on my desire?
cheers
I have the same problem except that I can only share a wifi connection with my laptop and not the 3g connection or gprs. I don't think it's the update because mine happened before I had installed it. Do you think t-mobile could be blocking any ports or something?
why would they block 3G and not GPRS? And T-Mobile explicitly allow internet sharing with the right internet plan so i don't think they would block it.
I installed Double Twist both on laptop and device recently - since then I have uninstalled both - could these have impacted on the internet sharing thing?
Any other idea?
I'm not too sure to be honest, I tried to look at what programs I had installed since the internet stopped working, the only thing I had installed was peer guardian which I have now uninstalled and its now working. I don't know if it's just a coincidence but it's working.
Any other programs that you've installed that may cause any conflict?
it started working again as I travelled and changed city... so it may be a local cell issue...
Glad it works again for you too. let's see for how long lol

I've had the exact same experience on my t-mobile wildfire - > apply the OTA O/S update and Internet Sharing stopped working!!! (It worked fine before on Windows 7 and XP)
Grrrrr...
Anyone have any ideas?
I also read that a factory reset fixes the tethering issue in several places and will see how badly it fracks the phone up (or whether everything gets downloaded neatly again automatically) and report back here...

So WIFI works well, so I think there's a problem with your router.
Yeah seems so, but i cant figure out what can it be, could it be the channel the router is broadcasting in?

Probably, have you already reset your router? That can work.
Thanks for the info and your great help.

Great that you solved your problem
Could be as simple as other internet wi-fi users around you are using channel 11, you get problems if lots of people on the same channel
You could check this with wififofum
Not that really matters now since you tweaked.
Thanks but i will try that since i noticed that while working on channels 4-6 the range decreased.i will test to see.Thank You all for your help.
Getting very pissed off at this.. been able to connect to my home wifi and others before.. but for some dumb reason i can't get any good connection from my router that sits three feet away from my device.. everytime it just gets to the "obtaining ip address from " then disconects and tries again.. never getting past to connect.. i currently have reset my router to basic settings and left the network open... i'm running in "g" mode.. channel 6... even with the network running open it still does not connect.. i need help bad..
Droid Incredible 2.2 froyo - Skyraider 3 sense rc2
BaseBand v: 2.15.00.07.28
Kernal v: 2.6.32.15-king#2
Router: Linksys - wrt54g v5 - Firmware: Up to date.
ISP: Comcast xFinity
Thanks for any help..
ok so i changed out the kernal.. went back to using the stock skyraider kernal that i had before i changed to king.. now my wifi is completly broke.. phone does not have mac address anymore.. also want to downgrade my radio back one version.. i noticed my whole wifi connecting issue after going to radio 2.15 or the version before it.. i have been googling around and cannot fin the radio i want, 2.07, or 2.05.. but the fact i lost my mac address form reflashing the kernal blows... anyone know a good way to reinput the mac? or a new flash should fix?
MAC addresses are burned into the hardware so I do not think you lost yours. Try running the code below with the phone booted or in recovery and then flashing another kernel. King's kernels come with a lot of extra modules and they may be causing issues when you flash other kernels and they are left behind. This code will clean them up. This is just a thought. It may help you.
NOTICE: this will render your wifi/hotspot completely useless until you flash another kernel. Also be careful you type in the commands verbatim
While Booted:
Code:
adb remount
adb shell
rm -R /system/lib/modules
In Recovery:
Code:
adb shell
mount /system
rm -R /system/lib/modules
had the same problem and i am running the exact same set up. I fixed the problem by reading the xda forum for that rom and he clearly states that you have to uninstall the wireless tether from market and get the lastest versions. the market is not the lastest version. Go to the thread and he has the link posted to the updated wireless tether.
thanks for the feedback guys.. @ihtfp69: i tried reflashing back to the second stock kernal in the kernal list of rom manager.. can't remember the name.. its weird when i goto the advanced options of wifi settings.. it say's "Unknown"..
i'd screen cap it but i am in the process of just restoring the original rom from factory..
@jager420: its really nothing to do with wifi tether is it? i'm trying to access my router to my phone, not wifi tether to the router via repeater...
Thanks again for the help and especially ihtfp for the adb coding..
drocaps.. this is after wiping then doing a nandroid restore of the phone after deboxing and applying root.. the radio never went back.. going to try downgrading the radio.. then try the adb codes as a last shot.. haven't got adb to work correctly in the past.. i keep forgeting to mention that, at first before i lost my MAC, i would get that issue i metion first.. then after i lost the mac, everytime i tried to turn wifi on it would just say "error".. haha..
--
ok so i went back to stock radio and got my MAC address back.. does bluetooth have a MAC address? can't remember.. under blue tooth it says unavailable..
haha nevermind, had to activate it before it showed up.. so my MAC issues are resoved.. now i just need to get it to connect to the damn router so i can get faster speed on my phone when home..
--
ok so from what i could figure.. i went to set the router to broadcast on the 11th channel.. using 2.462GHz.. has no problem connecting.. its running in g-mode also.. i found that when i set the router to defualt channel settings it couldn't pickup an ip.. channels 1-6 proved to be no luck.. thanks again for the help guys..
--
welp. i was connected good for awhile.. using wifi to install apps and stuff after my fresh install of skyraider 3 rc2.. i have wifi sleep at 15 minutes.. i seen wifi went off and back to 3g.. so i tried to reconnect wifi to see if it would work and nope. back to the same issue as before.. stuck at connecting then trying to obtain an ip from router. never gets past the obtain part, just disconects and trys again... looks like i'm back to square one.. could use some help before i go nuts... fixed the system info in op to show whats going on now..
I'm also having the same issue where i cannot connect to my wireless router. Are there any other possible solutions? It's strange because the phone will connect to a neighbors open wireless network but will not connect to mine. It just keeps cycling through and cannot obtain an ip address. Thanks in advance.

what router do you have? make? model?
This thread has been dead for a while, but it's the only one that describes my problem.
I am using the latest Skyraider Athena right now and whichever kernel it comes packaged with.
Until yesterday, I was able to connect to my home wifi network without any problems.
Last night I noticed that it would try to obtain an IP, but fail and try again... over and over again.
I took my phone to work and it connects to my work network fine. It also works on my fiancee's network.
WHAT HAPPENED?
I reset my router and it didn't help. I really need wifi access in my house since I'm in the basement most of the time and I don't get cell signal.
Any ideas? I've thought of renaming my network and changing the password. That's a huge PITA considering the number of devices I would then have to change the settings in.
Please, someone have an answer.

I'm actually having the same exact problem. I'm able to connect to other routers in my building that are open, but for some reason I can not connect to my home router. I'm using a D-Link DL 624 router.
I'm at a loss as to what to do.
also have the same problem here...
device = motorola atrix
when i turn on wifi, it detects my home network and keeps trying to obtain ip address
then it scans agains because it can't connect and tries to obtain the ip again
after trying for a minute or 2, the home ssid becomes:
"disabled, secured with..."
please help
Bump...
This problem is really getting annoying because I can't connect to wifi at home...
Any ideas?

This may seem a little too simple.. but I remember my dad having a similar problem with his EVO. All I had to do is "Forget" the network, reconnect to it, and re-enter the WiFi password. Is it possible you changed the security on your router? Your phone is probably trying to connect with the old password you had before if that's the case.
Good Luck,

Thanks for the reply. Unfortunately, that dindt solve it. It is now connecting to wifi 50% of the time and the other 50% keeps trying to obtain ip
Sent from my MB860 using XDA App
Sounds like an issue with a mismatched Kernal for the ROM your using or just a bug on the ROMs build. Had the same issue with MIUI roms when I first tried flashing kernels. Mine would scan, obtain & connect, and then drop and scan for other connections. What setup are you running?
I am on stock atrix but rooted. Haven't flash anything yet cause I am still learning this rom buisness... could I be having a kernel problem?
Sent from my MB860 using XDA App
also have the same problem here X1o mini pro
ROM =Cyanogen Froyo CM6-Latest (based on MiniCM) - v3.03
it connected first time and worked well
but after disconnect
when i turn on wifi, it detects my home network and keeps trying to obtain ip address
then it scans agains because it can't connect and tries to obtain the ip again
keeps saying >> obtaining ip addresses
after trying for a while the ssid becomes:
"disabled, secured with..."

Hi!
I modded CM7.1 on U8500 (based on slax's sp3 rom)...
I imported 2.6.29 icarus chaos kernel into it, everythings fine, except on wifi connect had the "obtaining ip address" issue...(it works with static ip) What can i do now? I try everything...modules, permission...
Any idea?
Thx for ur help,

Same problem here with all my android devices....
HTC EVO stock (2.2) did the same thing with rooted 2.1 (unrevoked)
HTC EVO 3D stock (2.3.3)
Samsung Galaxy Tab 10.1 stock (3.1)
Happens on my home wireless router as well as work. Sometimes, just sometimes I'll be lucky and it'll connect after multiple tries or reboots of my home router (cant touch the work one).
This has got to be an android issue...right?
guys i wish i could remember what exactly i did to fix it... i haven't had the issue since..
try checking the wifi type? as far as i know, type n is not going to work. i could be wrong.. try b or whatever else floats your boat.. also, it could be the kernal.. i have been using my incredible with cynogen mod 7 and with no problems on the standard kernal.
