Android on touch pro 2 WIfi not working

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

Can't enable wifi at all? That's... odd, for sure. Especially since it's not _all_ the TMO TP2's, or _all_ the Tilt2's....

I wonder if it's a radio thing... It's just odd that only some are effected. Has there been any correlation in radio versions or anything like that with phones that aren't working...?

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.

Can't ping my phone? Think it's the ROM?

I can't ping my phone, can ping everything else in the house, including another phone (droid eris which is also using a custom rom) I am wondering if anyone has any ideas or if they can point me to another forum that might be able to help me better. The rom I am using is Ruby 1.1.1.

you got some troubleshooting to do... i would say the easiest is to just try to hit the phone's IP on another port (service) like samba, ssh, etc.
did u try to ping that phone on another rom? nandroid restore another rom and find out, but as far as ruby i have no idea.

yes it has worked before, so I'm pretty sure it isn't hardware. So ([email protected])yeah I suppose it's the ROM. I guess I am wondering if anyone knows of where I would look IN the rom, as to what would be blocking ping. And the reason I was using ping is because all the the computer/phone apps that I try to use don't work, no matter what port they say to use. I've tried port 80, 5565, 5555, 8080. And several different apps.
I am a computer tech, so I'm not a complete dummy when it comes to this stuff. lol
I've done the trouble shooting on my router (all computers ping each other, even another droid on the network). I figured instead of dealing with the apps, ping is where I should start. Because an app may not work, but a simple ping should.
I know a bit about linux but not enough to start digging in the ROM on my own. I just need someone to give me something to look at.
Or where else I should look for advice for that matter.

I did find out it was an issue with the custom ROM I was running. My issue in particular wasn't a common issue, but problems with the wireless in general was something that was common to CM6 at the time. It has been fixed since then tho. Are you on your home network while trying to ping?

I still have same problem. I use a custom ROM based on CJM7 and it seems to be a limitation (or bug) of the ROM... I hope this limitation will be removed in future releases...

Slow wi-fi speeds?

So I recently got CM6 on my Touch Pro and right now I'm using the market and it's downloading at an appallingly slow rate D: It's roughly 10KB/s or perhaps slower. Did I do anything wrong here? :<

Nope. Wifi just sucks. It's always one of the reasons why Android always locks up for me, actually.

*crai*
So, wifi on Android just sucks? :< It's better on WinMo though, which I don't really get.
Since wifi is painfully slow on Android, how else would I get applications on it? A much faster method xD

Wifi seems fine for me... Faster than 3g, which is all I really ask for when using it...

I take it you're using a TP too >.< Whaiii *cries*

Maybe because you're not using a RAPH. A search in the thread would show that other people have the problem, and not just me lol...

i haven't noticed any wifi issues with the builds. always faster than 3g for me.

I said I used a RAPH previously... I've only had the RHOD for about a month now, had a RAPH for 2 years before that. So I'm not just shooting off the hip assuming... I ran XDAndroid on my RAPH for a loooooong time.

Well uhm, I'm using a Touch Pro but that's as far as I know. Perhaps I used a wrong startup? What would I use instead?

nothing there will make a difference.
do a test. using the regular browser (not opera or anything) goto mobilespeedtest.com or speedtest.net and do a test and see what it tells you. would help if you also have a computer on the same router to test against.
you can test 3g and wifi and your computer to see the differences in speed.

And so did I. I could make a video demonstrating how unstable the wifi/radio is, lol. I've had far too frequent crashes for someone to tell me that it's "stable" .
EDIT: Here's some other people reporting the problem.

I have had the same issue multiple times. I find it happens more when I am travelling over a distance and the radio has to find new towers to connect to all the time.

Annndd.. there's probably a good chance this will get ignored because "it works for me".

Perhaps wifi is unstable on the 110, but I seriously doubt it. Besides, that dude is talking about the radio finding new towers, what does that have to do with wifi?
I find the radio is unstable as well. I actually thought it was just a CDMA thing. I thought we were talking about slow wifi speeds tho... Now I'm just confused.

i think you are starting to get confused here. are we still talking about wifi or have we moved on to 3g now?
honestly almost nothing here is truely stable. our ril still needs alot of work and that is what talks with the towers.
wifi however shouldn't have any real issues. wifi is working on every model of the supported devices and as you can see, this is the first thread regarding wifi issues.
the wifi is supported by the kernel. kernel changes shouldn't make a difference as the wifi drivers haven't changed. however the devs are trying to get hopspot support working which may impact wifi. if you are having issues, report a bug.

It's both wifi and 3G that's unstable for me. Anytime I use the internet through either method, the phone has weird issues. It's easily reproduced.

what type of issues? system rebooting into android? rebooting into winmo? force closes? radio crashes?
i do not want to blame the device but my g/f who just gave me her diamond had alot of issues running xdandoird. come to find out her phone had issues in general and had nothing to do with xdandroid.
this may or may not be a similar issue to your. that will be for you to let us know.
if you have the time, rename your data.img to data.img.bak and launch haret.exe. it will build a new data.img and from there run the same basic tasks that cause issues for you now. since our build is still in the "building it" stage, some apps will cause issues without you noticing. the only real way to tell if an issue is the system or if it is an installed app is to test it with a clean system to see how things come out. this doesn't always solve the problem and if it does not let us know.
your said you have a raph110, Stinebd who is one of the main developers on this project has a raph110 so if there are any real issues with xdandroid and that device, it will be known. as such i have not heard from him with any real stability issues using the radio or the wifi (i believe he no longer has service on the device however).
if your one of the luck cdma users there are more issues as there are no real devs working on the cdma side of things for our devices. there are alot of radio stability issues as the ril is not complete and is a hacked hack version of the gsm radio made to work on the cdma network.
hope this makes sense.

Sowwy D: Was moving and getting new ISP's. Horrible wait :<
Anywho, for all those going "It works for me" Yeah well... It doesn't. I'm getting 14mbps wireless, but on the phone I'm getting 84kbps which is... Odd. I'm currently using the SuperFroyo port. I've had experience with the xdandroid version and it's wi-fi was actually pretty good compared to this. Kernels perhaps?

Is anyone else having wifi issues?

Ok so in the past hour I've noticed that my phone has disconnected from my wifi a few times. It does connect straight away however when I try to load a page it won't load and I have to wait a little while longer until it works again.
Has anyone else had wifi issues with this device?

Any body have any wifi issues at all?

Yeah I'm having the same issue with my home's wifi.
Doesn't seem to occure at work though(or maybe I haven't noticed it since I do work there).

I'll probably try flashing the latest fw at some point - which I think doesn't void your warranty.

I've got a new router coming from Sky. (Sky Hub.) I'll see how that acts before I flash my phone.
Let me know how you get on.

Can anyone explain how to get the MH5 Firmware and what steps need to be taken to flash it?

Yes I am too. I made another thread asking if people knew if the 9190, 9192 and 9195 have different wifi antennas. I am really bummed out over this.

Can you describe the wifi issue you have? What FM are you running?

No Wifi issues here.
So I did have issues, but that was the fail of Xposed-Framework, without that framework, there is no problem.
As a matter of fact you are able to stop the Wifi Power Safe Mode und the Service Mod (*#0011#) ... That stops a lot of Issues

[Q] Problem with WIFI auto connect in Android 4.3

Ok, So this has been happening for a while. I kept looking up for a fix, and i finally foudn this issue ticket open that looks like others having the same issue, and it appears to be this specific phone.
Is anyone else having this problem and is there an easier way to solve it than resetting the device?
Goggle issue 58230
I will copy the first post, as it pretty much mirrors my experience.
My wifi is always on (turned on the option for keeping it on even when the phone is idle). With older versions (4.2.2 and older), when I arrived at home, the phone automatically was connected to my home wifi.
But when 4.3, sometimes it doesn´t connect until I enter the wifi menu.
