Okay, so this is a really weird issue that I found out with my HTC Tilt2 while it was running Android, and I have a feeling it might have something to do with the WEP code (Even though I've tried it 20+ times...)
Anyways, whenever I try to connect to my home network on Android, it always goes through the same process of *Connecting...* *Sending...* *Connecting...* *Disconnected*, as if it just pings the router to check for a connection, then disables itself. Whenever I try it anywhere else however, I do not get this issue. I haven't found another location with another WEP key to try and see if its just that part of it that is unstable, but it's just a thesis. It's either that or my network, which, at this point, I wouldn't doubt if it was.
So... Anyone else getting or had this issue and solved it? Of connecting to a Wi-Fi network with a WEP key and getting *Connecting...* *Sending...* *Connecting...* *Disconnected*?
Edit: I did a bit more research and discovered that WEP is the only thing that doesn't work. Anybody got a reason other than it just doesn't work? Maybe something to do with the kernel or...?
WEP is an extremely insecure (unsecure?) protocol. Even if XDAndroid did support it, why would you want to use it? WPA/WPA2 are much, MUCH more secure and harder to crack than WEP is - with simple packet injection software, any 13 year old script kiddie can pop open your wifi.
I guess it is better than no security whatsoever if you are concerned about AP pirates, but not much. Every device in the last 5 years I'd say should support WPA/WPA2. So don't worry about WEP not being supported, it's horrid!
I think it is a kernel issue, but I don't see that being a priority for the devs to fix.

I looked into that a bit and just decided to upgrade my WEP to a WPA connection. Don't think my parents or brother we're too happy about me doing it, but from what you've said, it should be a lot better for both me and them.

Ha, well they only have to type in the new passcode once, assuming they save it!

Yep, and now I kind of understand why WPA is better than WEP. If you can figure out the paraphrase code behind it, then it's all easy to decode and translate and get someone's WEP code. Plus, it's a open encryption (which I think you already stated)
The more you know XD
WiFi connection issue
I AM CURRENTLY RUNNING MY TOUCH PRO 2 WITH HTC Rhod.2.1.Sense.061610 WITH KERNEL FROM AUG 30 2010, ALL I DID WAS FROM HTC Rhod.2.1.Sense.061610 CHANGE THE KERNEL AND ZIMAGE AND EVERYTHING SEEMS TO BE WORKING ALRIGHT FOR ATLEAST FOR 1 DAYS BUT ONLY PROBLEM THAT I HAVE BEEN HAVING WITH THIS BUILD IS THE BATTERY DRANNING OUT SO FAST CAN'T EVEN GET 4 HRS OUT OF IT......BUT WIFI, SOUND, IN CALL AUDIO EVERYTHING IS WORKING EXPECT AS ALL WE KNOW THAT BT , CAMERA AND CAMCORDER IS NOT WORKING .......HAPPY TESTING ......FEEDBACK WELCOME
@ QuentinX5
I have the exact same issue as you i just got android running on my TP2 and get the connect disconnect issue, i was just wondering if you could shed any light on how to switch my network from WEP to WPA, cheers

It's on your router. You change the security setting on your wireless settings from WEP to WPA. Then any PC/device that connects to your router wirelessly will have to type in the code again.
Could you elaborate more by "it's on your router" do you mean going to the actual model numbers router and connection to it? or can it be done through internet configuration on the computer

You have a wireless router correct? There's a configuration page on that router where you secure it with a password - is this not familiar to you? Router's don't ship with wifi secured, you have to put the password on the router...
There's a configuration page you need to go to figure it out. You can put your make/model router in portforward.com to see the steps to get into your particular router.
Thank you for the help, i have now changed the password and switch from WEP

hi ppl
i installed bepe's 0.73 rom (great work!!) to my trinity.
connection to my home wifi network works w/o problems. i get an ip-address, gateway address and dns-server (with the correct values of course ).
my problem is: i can't even ping the gateway (therefore of course also no browsing the web). under "einstellungen - netzwerkkarten", the wifi-adapter's setting is "internet" (and not work).
so any ideas how to solve that? any more info you would need for debugging?
thanks in advance, ize|man
so let me change my question: is there NOONE out there who has ever got problems with wifi? does anyone have a link to a trouble shooting faq?
pls .... i spent over 5 hours no without any solution
thanks ize|man
Hi.
I used to have that kind of issue with the wifi and most of the time I had to wait and wait for the wifi to get hooked up to the router,and like I said it was WAIT.
Everything seemed to be perfect,open wifi,WEP,WPA TKIP/AES,this used to happen with the first and second rom from HTC.So what I did was take a look at the router´s firmware and get and update,I also updated the rom of the phone and started with the cooked roms.
Waht you can do is,restart/reset the wifi ap or router it helps,make sure there´s no MAC filter,though it should work with the default settings.
I hope I can help you.
@dta1974
thanks for the help. i change from wpa to wpa2 and i worked. don't ask me why. my laptop did work with wpa w/o any problems.
so: problem solved
I have a similar problem but in my case it seems to be the power saving options for wifi. Have to turn em off completely to get it to work at all even though signal strength is 100%. Tried all types of encryption but same problem.
Heyy Solved my prblem too
I had the same problem (got ip from AP, but couldn't ping the device, nor navigate, etc).
Solved changing the power save mode !
Is there any way to log onto passworded wifi without actually knowing the password? I know applications like this exist for laptops and desktops but if anybody knows how to do it on the Dash that would be helpfull.
I can't remember my password for my network at home
Thanks.

I don´t know any app that can do that, but...unless you want to crack other´s network...If you do not remember your wi-fi password, there is always the option to reset the router to default settings and re-configure it again...
Regards.
Yeah that's always an idea but my computer is fine on it as it is sorted that it is always connected. Maybe it'll come to a reset haha. What do you mean by cracking?
Thanks

When you say "network @ home" does that mean your on a wifi router tied to a computer ? If so log into router home page and you should be able to find/change your password.
Hello xda community!
I have a strange and serious problem: I can't connect to hidden WiFi's.
I'm with a LG G3 D855 10H (no newer versions available).
At work we use a hidden WiFi without password but with Juniper VPN.
When I type in the network name and save it, it tries one time to connect, then my LG G3 shows "not in range". After a few seconds, the WiFi is on the top again with a very good signal.
When I try to connect again, it shows "not in range" again and so on.
I tried it at home and created a hidden network and it was reproducible.
Anyone else has problem with this?
Many thanks in advance for your help!
Best regards,
Jake

Now that is what you call a 'special' post!
Would you care to explain how it was resolved for the people that have the problem.
My problem still exists, but isn't urgent anymore.
I found out, Android itself have problems (or restrictions?) to hidden WiFi networks.
I also found an app names HiddenSSID Enabler, but it seems it didn't work for me (or G3?).
If someone has a solution it still would be very helpful fo rme and the rest of the community.

I have logs posted in my first post, WIFI DESTROYED TWICE or there abouts.
I've had to resort to DATA and its killing me haha i think i am getting close to fixing it, well i think i may be closer than you two and can one of you kindly take the lead as im reinstalling windows and i haven't gamed in 6 days :|
/system/etc/wifi/WCNSS_qcomcfg.ini
then the problem is complex but i am sure it is something to do with gEnableApProt=1
Offshoot fix, reinstall using googled imei number that doesn't have a flag or some how fix the flag <READ A FEW DAYS BACK>
I think actually the program that stuffed me was Airmon by maxters. It asked me if i was pro and of course, i said yes. Who would simply click no? I know a ninj wouldn't click no. I think there is a manual reinstall to link to it again i find the modem in its own partition having a chill, most likely trojan/backdoor and pwning everything around me.. I had three encrypted vpn backdoors and escalated accounts on my computer I paid the 5$ for the binarys, i think i paid 5$ for the back doors.
Not to sell Airmon out though.. Rooting our phones and accessing countless forums and websites really does leave us rather "xposed" some other cuplrits may be dsploit, ROM manager, linux Deploy/kali, Pamn IP scanner, system app remover pro, busybox pro's (Stephen/JRummy) or CMinstall/accessing the forums and trying to install cynagenmod / twrp recovery. I'm probably going to go with..... Airmon/Linuxdeploy or uninstalltool. But may have just been my IP logged and i hit a booby trap script along the way.
You guys done anything of the sort?
/Thread killller
Neither I understand what you are talking about, nor am I (as not native english speaker) good at "sentence guessing".
I have a rooted phone - of course.
But I'm pretty sure my WiFi is not destroyed...
Hey guys,
FIrst of all: Thanks for maybe helping me.
So my problem is that I have a really annoying WiFi issue with my Galaxy Tab Pro. I installed a cm13 build (Link in that style because I am not allowed to share links...)
Code:
download[B]DOT[/B]cyanogenmod[B]DOT[/B]org/?device=mondrianwifi
a month ago and have one big problem with it. Whenever I want to use WLAN to connect to the internet (or use it on my local network, whatever) it just keeps flapping. It turns on and off and on and off and so on. I thought that it would be related to my home network at first (so that it doesn't get a IP or something like that), but after I checked my DHCP and general network settings and came to the conclusion that it can't be related to that. All other devices in my network are able to get a IP (and go online). When I turn on the WiFi on the tablet and check the network settings I see that it gets a IP but looses it after 1-2 secs. The thing which makes absolute no sense to me is that after a while (turning WiFi off and on again, 3-4 times) it often is able to get and keep a IP address. After that everything works fine - often for 1-2 hours until it looses the IP again and I have to begin with the game of randomness. I checked in the known bugs and could not finde that issue listet there. So I think it is maybe not related to the cm13 build I am using..? Or not even to the device? I don't know. Maybe you can help me - would be helpful enough if someone could tell me which logs I have to check when having a WiFi issue. I am quite new to such problems and don't know how I should start the troubleshooting.
So thanks in advance and greetings,
Maik
My phone reboots itself right after establishing a connection to my L2TP VPN server. Does anybody have the same problem?
Additional info:
SoftEther VPN server
Protocol: L2TP/IPSec PSK
Connecting using IP address and domain does not make a difference.

I've already submitted two error reports with logs to Samsung via the Samsung Members app. Hopefully, they will fix this soon.
Perhaps you can also lodge an error report this way so more people can get their attention on this issue.
Me too. I bought a phone for works. But its so sh*t. I reported the log to SS for check and fix, but dont know how long I have to wait, they dont give me a deadline.

This device is actual sh*t bro.
I tried 1st release of firmware, France, Singapore, India, Vietnam firmwares but it have same bug
Got a new OTA update today. Connecting to L2TP now crashes the phone INSTANTLY
This is bull****. Why bother promoting Samsung Knox and all these fancy TPM when the simple functionality of connecting to a VPN can't even be done?

My phone crashes after exactly 60 seconds after connected. SS didnt give me the direct contact of their technician, I can only talk to the telephone supporter, they dont know anything.
The latest firmware (May Security Patch) fixed the vpn.

Thank you for informing. Can confirm that it works now.
Yep it works. Only bug I see is that there's no white text showing when entering the text fields in a VPN Profile with the Night mode on.
Set phone to Night mode, go to VPN and Add a profile. You can't see what you type. White theme is fine. If anyone has any contacts, report that to Samsung please.

Is the L2TP/IPSEC PSK VPN connection working for some of you?
I have tested two A50'S (A505W) and they both reboot 60 seconds after the connection is established. Latest update is February 1, 2020.
Connection is created and seems fully functional (as much as I can test in 60 seconds) until phone reboots.
I am connecting to a Ubiquity Edgerouter ER-6P. iThings and Windows 10 clients are connecting fine.
I have sent crash reports in to Samsung and communicated with support staff. I haven't been able to communicate with anyone able to say they use L2TP/IPSEC PSK connections successfully.
Seeing this thread gives me hope it can be made to work.
Any tips on getting the A50 to keep the VPN connection would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks
Just connected (and browsed web a bit) to a Ubiquiti ERPro-8, L2TP, no reboots. Update is the februar 2020 one.
Are you perhaps running 2.x firmware on Edgerouters? I've been avoiding it, since they have up to 15% performance degradation and other bugs. The ER I connected to was on 1.x.

Thanks for checking... both A50's I tested reboot 60 seconds after L2TP connection made. The ER-6P is running 1.10.10 firmware.
