I have an unsecured network and wifi still isnt working i even tried the builds i used beforeand wifi stil isnt working? I tried Eclair 2.1 froyo still wont work. it scans and says unable to scasn and turns the wifi off by itself. it worked on my other touch pro 2! any ideas?
same ****
got the same problem i had it on the 2.1 builds and on the froyo builds but seems when somebody mention it nobody takes it seriously...just have to wait till the next build...!
You need to update zimage to the latest and as long as WiFi is not WEP encrypted, it should work.
That is really odd. Wifi works perfect for me in froyo with a secured network. Try the new 2.2 froyo build in the first sticky.

Where I live I run wpa2 but there's wep, wpa and unsecured networks available. I get the same problem with the various flavours even after uninstalling, deleting all content and reinstalling.
Bit of a wind up to read that it's a problem with wep.
I would have to say this is one of the worst issues I have found yet with android. Others who have the same phone don't have this issue. but I do. WiFi just doesn't work on my device. I have all the latest releases. Hell, I have been able to use every feature meant for rhodium but WiFi. It is a persistant issue with my device.
I even tried repartitioning my sdcard to see if that helps. but no luck. The last release I was able to use Wifi with was the first release of the sense ui 2.1
When I mention this on IRC, I am pretty much ignored, People think it is because I don't know what I am doing. I beg to differ. I have been able to offer valid advice and solutions for most of the questions i come across.
My device is a T-MO TP2, with a 4gb sdcard. and colored send and end buttons.
Help Please.
Last time I checked Rhobuntu wifi worked ok
I'm having the same issue as well..
It will scan and see my network(secured with WEP) and let me enter my login info but after that it just scans and dosen't connect.
If I have to turn my WEP off I want worry about Android cause theres too many people around here that like to piggy back and I'm not paying for them to use mt internet as well.
I'm using the [MUG] Rhod.2.2.BLAZN.072110 if that helps.
I had another touchpro2 that got lost but wifi worked perfectly! WHEN I TRY TO UPGRADE ROOTFS AND ZIMAGE ANDROID STOPS WORKING!!!It boots goes to the lock screen and vibrates and restarts into windows mobile!

Possible fixes for issue include's deleting your data.img located in your andboot folder of the Sdcard and deleting your cache folder usually located (If I'm not mistaken) on the root of the SDcard.
If the above method does not work then you may want to try a fresh install by deleting all android related files or reformatting your SDCard but I'm sure this will do the trick. I've had that issue before.

You don't really have to. If your Router supports it then switch the encryption type to WPA instead of WEP. WPA encryption has been reported to somehow work with this build.

Edit..changexd the wifi from wep to wpa/psk and all is good.just wanna fix the sound,keyboard backlight and the keyboard buttons.
Other then that I love it.

SO drop from WEP to WPA?? I'll try that and post back..Thanks mna.
I really like Android but I HAVE to have WiFi..Theres really no way around that and since I couldn't get it to work...I kept using WinMo.
Should I delete my SD card and put everything back on??
Unfortuantly you tricks didnt work (all of them ) thanks for the help. DOES ANYBODY ELSE KNOW WHATS GOING ONNNNN! EVOLOPERS PLEASE FIXX It!!!
My wifi-button is grey. It is not possible, to start wifi.
How can i fix this? In an older android-version (with sense) it was running.
Is there an example for wifi in the startup.txt. I can read english only very slow and i did not find it in the 756 sites of the froyo-thread.
okay so with a format of the sd card and the installation of the latest releases of android from the sticky and the newest kernals etc.. no go... has anyone who has had issues found a way to get wifi working on their phone?
I too think the last time my phone worked was months and months ago. I would only really play with android every once and a while so I really dont remember.

Uh... Ok? You HAVE to have wifi. We get it. I've also heard WEP doesn't work, besides it's not even secure... you're not really dropping from WEP to WPA, you're upgrading from WEP to WPA buddy

Wow... Please don't scream at the devs to fix something that already works. It's probably something you're doing...
I would definitely try updating to the newest everything. You say it reboots into WinMo every time - try different combinations of files. I pretty much always run 'bleeding edge' tho, and it's always worked out for me... Perhaps you're not replacing all the files correctly...?
Also... I did see one post from a dev that's going to be discouraging... They said that "some" of the TMobile TP2's just don't work with wifi. I don't think they know why, because if wifi works for the devices devs have, then it's very hard to troubleshoot your problem. It also seems to be effecting a small slice of TMobile TP2's, if that's any consolation. Ditch the teenage wireless company

I think my phone is broken. In WM I have after every reboot a new wifi-mac. With wifi on in WM my phone is very slow. I did task 29, tried different ROMs and Radio-ROMs.
Without wifi I have no problems with the phone.

Hi.
First of all, I installed it with a fresh new uSD card and a complete wipe.
While the connection seems to be OK, accordingly to the AP, no traffic can
be done accordingly to the phone.
Any idea? Is it a bug or what?
Weird. I have no such problems. Also, such a large bug would have been known much sooner. So it must be something unique to your situation.
Did you do a wipe before the flash?
Hi, this is not a bug, cause i have the same rom installed on my hero and my wifi is working.

Hi,
The wifi is working fine.
Make shure what channel your router is configured with.
VillainRom 5.3 is a Port from CDMA (US vertion of Hero) it only supports 11 channels.
We in Europe have 13 channels of our disposal.

Nice point.
1. I can see my phone hooked on my AP, so I would say this is not the problem.
2. The phone itself is showing the friendly WiFi signal icon.
3. VillainROM should put the regulatory domain back in the WiFi configuration.
And, of course, my WiFi is still not working!

I am having the same problem with my 2 heros.
both wiped multiple times and the sd card was repartitioned and formatted before flash. it will connect and allow some traffic but every 10-15 minutes or so it will drop connection then after a couple of minutes come back. I have watched the wifi indicator actually disappear for a few seconds then come back. never had this problem with 5.2 or any other roms where wifi was actually working.
Oh and I even reflashed the newest radio after words just in case and this didn't help.

Mine is a different problem, while yours seems to be an old one.
You can go to WiFi settings and check the sleeping mode to "never". You ask te system not to disconnect for any reason at all.

Nope. The AP has a very simple cfg (just WPA authentication).

Check out also the comments.
I have experienced the OP's issue as well. Wifi works for a minute or two when first connected, but then the data stops even though the status still shows connected. I have to disable/enable Wifi to get it back.
I'm using a "g-only" network with WPA2 encryption.
I have been tinkering with the settings in the following file:
/system/etc/wifi/tiwlan.ini
I have had some limited success by changing DesiredPSMode to 1 (from 0). The phone now stays connected several minutes longer, but the connection still drops frequently. At least now it drops completely (status shows disconnected) instead of just going dark while showing connected.
I haven't had much time for trial/error with the other settings in that file.
Ever since going from MyFroyo RC4 to RC5 & RC6 (and even the Cyanogen RC01, I have had problems with my wifi.
I am posting here to see if anyone else is experiencing these problems, and to find out what changed between RC4 and RC5.
I have no cell service at my house, so when I flash a new ROM, I need to leave the house and go to an area where I get service before I can connect to the Google Servers to set up my device. When on Wifi, I also have problems downloading Google items in the market (such as Google Search Bar) and can't even use Google.com to search for anything. It times out. I can, however, use other websites and download other items (once I've set up my device remotely).
If I am setting this up over Edge or 3G, there are never any problems.
If I re-flash back to MyFroyo RC4, I can use my wifi with no problem to do everything I need.
I really love the updates since RC4 - but am worried that I'll be left in the dust since all the builds since RC4 have had this issue for me. :-/
I'm in the same boat and experience the same WiFi issues.

supposed to be a cyanogenmod issue though i havent experienced it myself (i also have horrible service 1-2 bars edge max) using wifi everything loads up fast and everything downloads just fine! but if i were you i would try the nightlies they are supposed to have fixed the problem by now if im not mistaken
I've experienced a lot of this too. Marker downloads were pretty much not happening for me, no matter what - Wifi or Data. On data, it would download but never install. On Wifi no images in the market would load and no download would activate. I also couldn't use Google.com or sign into Gmail via the browser or other Google services. I did a lot of searching and heard it could be Google.
What I did to fix it... I did some nandroids, I did some wipes and updates and complete formats, etc. What I finally think I had was a problem in my packages.xml file where so many programs were mismatched due to Froyo's ability to use apps2fat32. I think at some point some nandroiding I had done,etc screwed up my package assignments and then I just fresh installed and DO NOT BACK DATA/SETTINGS UP WITH GOOGLE! haha, I honestly think that had a lot to do with it also...Go into your Privacy and turn auto restore off, turn backup data off, then reset your device with a wipe of it all and such, boot up and don't select backup with Google. I've had no more issues really.

I've actually tried the new nightly's and still have the same problems. I've also tried completely wiping it and starting from scratch- and made sure not to back up w/ GOOGLE servers- but to no avail.
I wonder if anyone on here can figure out what changed between MyFroyo RC4 and RC5 that could cause this - seems something is blocking the Google Synch. I've also experienced the problems mentioned above regarding the market items not downloading, no images, etc. Just seems weird that it worked completely fine before RC5, which came out around the same time as the Cyanogen 6 Slide RC1
From my personal experience I'd have to say that wifi is slightly bugged. Drops randomly and occassionally won't detect my network when other Android devices will (any encryption, which is for suckers anyway )
At least I know I'm not the only one w/ this problem. I couldn't find a cyanogen defect for this issue.
Same here. I have no wifi. My g1 connects just fine and my hd2 but on the slide its a no go. Ive tried everything but eventually just gave up. Im using Eugenes Ota update. Im not sure if its just the slide in general but my wifi doesn't work period. It'll connect but if i load up youtube or try the web I get a no connection error. Its very peculiar. Incredibly peculiar.
I am having the same issue. I noticed people talked about it with CM6 rc1 but not everyone was having the issue and the subject died off. Ive tried reloading, wiping everything, htcclay's new version but nothing seems to help. The wifi is just strange will work for a page or two than fail to load or loads half way. Also tried on several different networks. Does anyone know if the driver is the same in eugenes as in these later ones?
After wiping and keeping a good eye on everything, the issue I have with Wifi and the browser is that sometimes it just hangs about 75% page load and doesn't really change unless I leave the phone go for a bit and wait for it to load.
Downloaded Opera Mini (only browser I could find that doesn't use the native browser). With Opera, I've actually hadn't had any loading issues or anything weird like that happen. So many a possible partial-bypass is using another browser? It helped me, just thought I'd share.

I wanted to switch to CM7 from Leedroid, which I did. Everything worked fine except I couldn't find my WiFi, So i tried several other Radios, still didn't work. And then I flashed 2 other ROM's, just to see if works. Oxygen and MIUI, still the same problem on both. And later i switched to the ICS Beta ROM. And WIFI worked perfectly, with the same radio as I had before. I could stay with ICS since WiFi worked there, but I need A2SD+ so I won't run out of storage. So I switched to some different version of MIUI called MIUI_Au which I really like and want to keep, has everything I need. But still the same problem (no WiFi). Well, But I wanted to go further. So I tried creating a portable WIFI hotspot on 2 other smartphones. And I was able to connect to both of them. So I think it may have something to do with my router, but we got 3 smartphones and 6 computers connected to it and everything works perfect, it's just my Desire that won't find it.
Full wipe, cache + dalvik cache for every ROM flash. What's wrong?
go closer to the router..... I found CM7 based roms tend to have lower signal strength than sense roms.... might help might not....

EDIT: I had CM7 way before Leedroid, and wifi worked perfect.
Does the phone actually see the signal and fail to connect or is it not seeing it at all? Either way, try rebooting the router and the phone and try again and also try disabling security on the router temporarily and see if it will connect. You may also want to check that the router is actually broadcasting a visible SSID and if not then you should maybe try enabling that also.

Can't even find it.. What you mean with "Broadcasting a visible SSID" i can see it's SSID on other smartphones and stuff if that's what you mean. I have not tried disabling the encryption on the router yet, but I had similar encryption on the other WiFi hotspots and it worked perfect. Can flashing older radios help maybe? Thanks.
Whatever, flashed back to Leedroid, maybe not my first choice. But at least the Wifi works, feel free to lock this thread.
Cm is set to see all channels? If you use a higher channel for wifi cyanogen does not see it by default.

Well, had you had the patience to sort your router out (which I'm pretty sure was at fault and not the phone) then maybe you wouldn't need to run a less preferable ROM. Indeed, had you followed my advice and disabled the router security temporarily then we may have had some idea if we were on the right road. Anyway, good luck with your chosen ROM.

Yay! I had the same issue: everyone else could see the SSID but me and I'm running CM7 (Nexus One). Then I saw your suggestion and discovered a menu I wasn't even aware of(!) and configured CM7 to see all 14 channels and, voila, it works! (Not sure what the default was as neither option was enabled.) THANK YOU VERY MUCH!!!
P.S. Could anyone please tell me why oh why CM7 has this option and why it is not set to a value that works by deafult?

IMHO this whole yakju-better-than-yakjusomething is over hyped. There were threads where yakjusomething builds got updates, and yakju didn't. I wouldn't bother my self to wipe phone and flash other builds If I were you, well I'm not going to do that since I have yakjuxw or something similar It's still a Nexus, you WILL get any update as soon as it will be possible! Earlier I had Nexus S i9023 with SLCD screen (I loved that screen BTW) and I was getting updates couple of weeks after Android sites started to write about them. It looks like Google disabled updates after battery complains from users. For some time now I haven't heard about anyone getting .3 or .2 update to any SGN. Just my thoughts, sorry for little OT
Thanks again for the reply. Yeah I might just leave it as it is until I get the update. Turning location services off doesn't seem to fix the problem it is still disconnecting. Will just use my iPhone 4 for now :-(
Have now also found that I can not connect the nexus through bluetooth either. The Mac won't even recognise it. Any way around this? Grrrr

Hey mate thanks for the link unfortunately it doesn't make a difference and for some reason the net won't work on wifi hotspot at all now. It connects but that is it :-(.
I didn't have time to really look into it, but I have some idea. Can you try how will it work when you disable security in settings? I mean make it an open network for, a second and try some browsing

that seemed to work on my nexus one and iphone 4 when i tethered. tried it with my gnex, same results, still showing connected, but no internet access after 5-15 min. i checked the status log of wifi tether for android, as it was doing the same thing with this app, and the it showed the wifi interface disconnecting by itself, i didn't do anything. Definitely OS related. Interestingly enough, this has happened both on the stock kernel and this franco 9.2 i'm running right now. Likewise with stock rom and this my current rom. so who knows.....very annoying though. :-/
Ok, with the network open on the Nexus the connection is fine on my Mac. As soon as I enable security though I have problems. Thanks heaps for the help so far but is there any solution available for this? Not real keen on leaving my connection open.
Sorry to bump. I'm having this issue as well. Verizon Galaxy Nexus on 4.0.2. My MacBook Pro connects to the hotspot fine and works for a bit, but then stops working. I can run network diagnostics to make it work again, but I have to keep doing that every 5-10 minutes or so and it makes it too annoying to use.
My iPad 2, iPhone 4, TouchPad, and mom's Windows laptop works just fine and never have these issues. It's only my MacBook. Anybody find a solution yet?
Exactly the same problem here.. Galaxy Nexus tethered wifi macbook pro running 10.7.2. Stays connected, but stopps passing any packets. Ipad, and other devices are still connected working properly, and the phone itself can use the LTE data connection. I've tried stock 4.0.2, as well as AOKP 4.0.3 latest build.. no luck. I've also tried both the native AP and android-wifi-tether too. Any help would be appreciated and rewarded.

PS - I even have the tethering option enabled on my Verizon account... (in case you were thinking it had something to do with big red blocking data)
I am still suffering this problem too. :-(. It is a real issue when I work outside the office a lot and do not have any problems with my work Iphone 4. I found pdanet works connected by USB but you can not access secure sites on the free version. Is there good alternative to pdanet?
hey guys. i now use an open network when i tether. it seems to keep a stable internet connection (packets transferring). the longest i've maintained a working tethering connection has been 2 hours....so it seemed good enough for me. Let me know how u guys fair if u do try an open network. still a weird issue imo that doesn't have too many solutions or even suggestions in the xda community (probably cause not many are tethering?). gl.
Hey, when I put my phone to an open connection mine is stable too. Must be something to do with the security. Wish there was a solution, I can't keep mine open the whole time :-(.
Anyone found a fix for this yet? Just about to return mine, tired of it not working. Have updated to 4.02 and my Mac to 10.7.3
Hello guys..
I had the CM7 ROM installed earlier which had issues with the Wifi connectivity but not regular, used to happen once in a while..
After the new Kernel got released on 28th by Haschcode.. i decided to take the plunge the CM9 way with gedeROM.. trust me it has been brilliant.. After the installation I m able to connect initially to wifi.. subsequently when i try connecting to the Wifi it has not been connecting..
I tried EneryROM which also has been giving same issues.. Need your help on this guys..
Also for information sake.. before installing the ROMs.. I wipe the cache, factory reset, Dalvik.. then flash the ROM
Would want to know if any of you guys are experiencing similar issues and if you had been able to get around it..Please find the screenshots attached..
I havent tryed energy but I did try gedeRom never could get it to connect period end of story not that it isnt a sweet rom and the developer has put very excellent effort into it others have had good results. I really dont have a clue why this differs from person to person or rom to rom but I do recall once being able to correct this under advanced connection or by simply not letting or letting google keep a backup of my device. Being in development stage there are little quirks that spring up that dont hold true for all users everyones methodology varies. I couldnt get the new miui to even boot some say to flash at a full charge can fix that problem.The new AOKP has been working very well for me but others have had issues dont know how much is directly related to rom/kernel/ user error at flash. Hashcode has done a briliant job with his kernel and the developers of these roms have too patience is a virtue at this point until some bugs are smashed. For me if I have alot of trouble I simply just move on till a later date then try again the wifi thing kinda is a deal breaker on a kindle without another way to connect to the net.
Edit: at one point there was a mac address problem with the new kernel I believe that was resolved but it gave every device the same mac address which I understand causes some routers to rebel.

You might try just flashing the latest kernel (#8) to see if that helps.

I m running on new kernel only.. donno y it is behaving like that..
But thepooch.. what u said is 100% true..the ROMs are nothing short of brilliance.. infact the icons r much sharper and the system is pretty smooth in CM9.. shd thank Hashcode and the other ROM makers..
I have an SMC router.. planning to test on a friends netgear this week lets see..
I am on AOKP Milestone 5, and WiFi is working fine for me. I just tried disconnecting and reconnecting again; no problem.
A really fine ROM, and yes; Hashcode is a god.

@Vaksen.. I had flashed AOKP yesterday... same problem guess need to check out on a different router..
Anyways on a different note.. Hashcode is definitely God so are the others who create the ROMs for us!!!

3.0 Kernel released on 28th is changing Kindle's WiFi MAC address - you should check MAC filtering policy on your WiFi router. Settings/about/status is the way to find your "new" MAC address. Developers found solution for keeping original MAC address, it will be included in next kernel/rom versions - so do not erase Kindle's original MAC address from router's MAC filter list - you will need it soon.

Thanx.. but i too know that.. my question is I dont have the MAC filtering activated.. so why is it failing then?
Have you tryed AOKP? No issues there

Yep.. no respite.. same problem
Ewwh that sucks There's got to be some kind of workaround have you tried advanced connections? Your router is very picky
Its a total shot in the dark but maybe you could try the Hellfire cleaner before you do a fresh flash not the nullifier I'm not totally sure about that one yet. Maybe there is some fragments left behind from your previous flashes that are bottlenecking you? What kind of wireless connection is yours?
I was having similar issues. I think Hashcode's kernels hate certain routers. What kind of router do you have?
My fix was setting my router to run with a static connection instead of with DHCP.
Can you please post a logcat in Hashcode's kernel thread? The issue will get resolved faster.

Router reset with ICS Hashcode 3.0
I have very similar issues you are all reporting. I can use CM7 on my Fire and the wireless works perfect almost all of the time. I gets a little screwy at time, and I just reboot the device and it works fine again for days. When I use any ICS with Hashcode it works GREAT for about 2 days. After that mark, any time i connect with the wireless to my dlink B/G/N router, it will actually reset the router (not settings, just off/on) over and over again. Does anyone know if this issue is being addressed? I am not much of a networking person to know what the Fire could be doing to cause my router to do this, so I am really at a loss.
