Got an omnia 7, love it. It was connected fine to my home router on wpa-psk but suddenly wont connect.
It will connect using WEP but now wpa-psk is out.??
what is that about?
mine is fine, have been using it for a week without any problem.
fairly obvious Q, is anything on ur router changed, e.g. firmware update, MAC filtering etc....?

Hi,
I'm using WiFi at home, hosted by a Linksys WRT54GL router running OpenWrt and secured with WPA2/WPA-PSK. Once in a while, the WiFi connection to my Rhodium gets disconnect (phone issue, wifi on my notebook is stable). After this disconnect, I go to the notification list, and theres a notification telling my that theres a new network found, but to connect to the network, I need to enter the WPA password everytime. Only way avoiding to reenter the password is rebooting the device; then it automaticly connects to my network again.
Anyone having similar problems or even know a fix?
Thanks in advance,
Christoph

I got the same problem, and i got the same router as you with WPA2... It's really anoying. Is it a settings issue on the phone or what?
Wifi Issues with Smartphones / PDA WEP and WPA
I've been a windows mobile / smartphone user for about 4 years now. I started off with a xw6700 from verizon, then a Tilt from ATT, and now testing a Touch Pro 2 from t-mobile not sure if I'm keeping it. With each device I've had the same issues. I will explain below what I've found and what I've done to make it as painless as possible with WIFI and my PDA devices.
I currently run 2 WIFI networks due to this issue. I use roadrunner so I was able to about 10 years ago get a multiple IP package, which they no longer offer. I have 4 IP addresses 3 of which I use for my computers/1 wifi network and another I use for a wifi network just for PDAs/phones.
If i use a PDA with WIFI enabled on the network my computers are on using WEP after a few times of connecting/disconnecting PDAs and trying to reconnect I get a problem where the device wont take my WEP key over and over again. I have to reboot the WIFI router, and then the device will connect successfully. This is very annoying since any device I try to add to the wireless will not connect as well. This problem is due to the PDA, now I've tried mulitple routers DLINK, NETGEAR, LINKSYS, AIRLINK, they all do the same.
Now with my 2nd network I use WPA. WPA seems to be more friendly when it comes to disconnecting and reconnecting PDAs. I can use my PDA's on this network connecting and reconnecting for a few weeks before the WIFI router requires a reboot because it will no longer take the WPA password. Again I am not sure why this happens, and I am not sure why it affects WM5, WM6, WM6.1. Not sure if its the hardware of the device or the software, but it seems to happen no matter what WM device I have.
My iphone will disconnect and reconnect to either of my networks without any problem. Unless the PDA screws up the wifi on either network, then the iphone will never authenticate and connect to the network. Seems these WM devices no matter what hardware are really good at screwing up WIFI networks.
Now my findings are every time you put the phone to sleep/off the wifi turns off, it could possibly be the cause for the above, this pisses me off. There was one forum a while back I found someone saying WPA is more stable. I know the iphone does the same (turns off wifi when in standby/sleep), but doesn't affect the router the same as WM devices. If anyone would like to say otherwise then they are wrong/lying to you. I guarantee if they turn off and on their WM device to say check an IM or a TXT and turn it back on a few times they will experience the same problems above, which it seems everyone experiences but no one has answers.
I wish there would be a professional from HTC or HP or anyother PDA maker who will just come out and say they screwed up and didn't want to fix it.
Ok here is a good one for you.
I have wifi at home, when I got my omnia 7, linked it up and all worked fine. Then last week it stopped working, I cannot even connect, it comes up incorrect password when it isnt.. Dont know why...
Tried - tested:
1) Phone will connect to other wifis fine
2) Reset router, password, security everything
3) swapped router
4) My pc can connect to the router fine over wireless.
5) Tried connecting from 2m away, nowt.
Only thing I aint done is factory reset the phone, which I wouldnt want to do unless last resort.
Any tips.

Only one thing looks interesting and that is aes and but the router i have sky broadband does not have this option and I connect to my mates sky broadband router (netgear) fine.?????
I had problems connecting to DD-WRT flashed netgear routers.. Seems the WRTG54g2 v1 + have pretty shady chipsets. Flashed back to oem firmware and works like a charm, just lose some of my dd-wrt features
what router are you using? I know my DIR-628 did not like my LG KM900 arena no matter if it was connected to the WAP in the basement or directly to the router
Hello. I have xperia neo for 1 week. It is great phone and great upgrade from my X8 but i see a strange wifi problem. My firmware is latest version - 4.0.A.2.368.
At my home phone connects fine to my wireless network and everything is stable. I do not see any disconnects, reboots or other problems. My router is linksys wrt320N and i connect at wireless N speed - 72Mbps.
When i try to connect to the wireless N network at my office the phone connects fine but i do not have internet access. I have IP assigned by the router, network is shown as connected but i do not have connectivity. I tried with 3 different browsers and with the market and nothing connects. At the same time i can connect with my laptop to the same network and i have internet. My colleagues with other phones also connect and have internet.
I tried setting static IP address on the phone but this did not help. I read that if i set static IP in router's settings assigned to the mac address of the phone this will help. Unfortunately i can not test this because i do not have access to router's settings. Also at my home i did not make such settings and everything is working fine.
Previously i have seen this problem with my X8 and the same work wifi network but it was not always present. It was present with some custom firmwares and not with others.
If you have any ideas or have seen this problem please help.
Having the same device from Globul I never had such problems for the 2 weeks I'm using it. I had some disconnects but i put the blame on my router.
if you can try changing the wifi channels
I think I've found the issue (by facing by myself)
The version neo is shippe (2.3.2) has a serious bug on AES encription.
Actually only the upgrade to 2.3.3 (no clue about upcoming 2.3.4) can fix the WPA/AES issue.
So the actual solutions are:
or change your wifi securty to WEP, updathe the phone via OTA
or use the Windows Software and update to 2.3.3.
Please note that if you use the Control Power widget it has been removed in 2.3.3
This was my problem when I had just bought my Arc.My phone couldn't surf the internet with my personal wifi network although I tried to use many browsers and also Android market. Then I reset and reinstalled my router, everything works well ^^
Ask your office IT staff to do a simple power cycle on the router and try connecting again. That may solve the problem.
I am having a problem tethering my laptop and my desktop computer to my Galaxy Nexus ever since I installed the 4.2 update. My Nexus 7 tablet does not seem to have any issues connecting.
My laptop is a Lenovo Thinkpad T60-2007 which has an Atheros 42T0825 wifi chip. It used to connect to the Android 4.1 Galaxy Nexus hotspot without any problems under Win XP. Immediately following upgrading the Galaxy Nexus to Android 4.2 the laptop had problems. The laptop would connect to the tethering wifi hotspot, but would not be able to browse the internet (or in a few rare circumstances, would browse extremely slowly with frequent errors that would prevent web pages from loading).
I tried a factory reset on the Galaxy Nexus (which still left the phone at android 4.2), and there was no change in behavior.
I tried removing the wifi password and running the hotspot as an 'open network' and there was no change in behavior.
I tried a Windows XP reinstall on the laptop (to Windows XP SP3) and there was no change in behavior.
I replaced the wifi card (with and identical model) and there was no change in behavior
As a last resort (and because the laptop needed it), I installed Windows 7 Ultimate 64-bit on a new SSD and put in additional 2 GB of RAM.
Now although the laptop can still see the hotspot, it cannot connect to it. Even though the correct password is typed at the prompt, it gives a 'Network Security Key mismatch' error and will not connect. The laptop can connect to the hotspot if it is set as 'open', but will not connect to any sites or web pages (i.e. same problem as before with Win XP).
The laptop *does* work with the Galaxy Nexus via USB tethering, which suggests that there is some kind of wifi issue, but the laptop connects to my home wifi network (Linksys E3000 running stock firmware) just fine.
My desktop computer (running Windows 7) exhibits the same behavior as the laptop under Windows 7.
I was able to get a Macbook and a Dell Latitude laptop to connect to the wifi hotspot and successfully browse the internet (I will have to look up the model numbers later).
I am writing to try to find out whether anyone has noticed any similar problems/incompatibilities and whether anyone might know the causes.
Is there a problem with the b/g/n connectivity of my laptop? Did the wifi hotspot b/g/n configuration on Android change with the 4.2 update? Might a bad install of android 4.2 on my phone be to blame? Maybe there is a problem with g or n protocols? Which does the 4.2 hotspot use?
Thanks in advance
same problem with me

The inability to either create a mobile hotspot and connect to it is why I went back to stock rooted 4.1.1. I have tried Muzzy and AOKP and could not create and connect to a hotspot using native tethering or Wifi Tether. It has been a while since I checked the forums, but did not see a solution that helped me
PS - I was trying to tether mobile devices not laptops though
My issue resolved on its own...!! Don't know how..!! but now I can use WiFi tether and also reverse tethering too..!! Reverse tethering is really too handy thanks to xda members for making awesome apps.

I have not been able to get any form of wifi AP to work since flashing over to 10.1 CM. it turns on the AP and I can get wifi to link but can't get an IP and any kind of connectivity to the internet... so far, I haven't been able to find any help for the issue but I'll keep reading!
this was after a wipe data & cache install of 10.1.
For some reason, my Wifi connectivity on my GNexus has gotten really bad lately. I'm trying to connect to my home router (Netgear WNDR3400), and it gets stuck on a loop at obtaining IP address then avoided poor connection and it keeps reseting back and forth. It only manages to connect maybe 20 mins in the day and it looses the connection again.
Reseting the router only fixes the problem momentarily then the next day it can't connect again. The router is working perfectly fine in my house w/ the computer and laptops. iPhone and HTC Thunderbolt are also perfectly fine.
What can I do to fix this?

Have you tried assigning a static ip address to the phone?
Also what type of network? My phone does it on a 802.1 wireless b network with identity security (individual uname and password to connect) Which is what my university uses... annoying it was, but i found out that foxfi was causeing the issue. But im assuming your home network isnt like that.
How do I assign a static IP to the phone?
My router is 802.11n. And it has network security, secured by WPA/WPA2 to be exact.
App called WiFi static will let you set a static IP within a dhcp network. You probably can do it through your router as well. I would read up on static vs dhcp if you have never set up a static IP before. Also you'll want to see what all of the clients ips are so you don't create a duplicate.

Try to flash another Rom.I had the same issue with cm 10.1 based roms, but after flashing aokp based roms problem was solved.

Anyone having this issue on the Verizon stock ROM 4.2.2? I cannot connect to any wifi with DHCP. The only way I can connect is if I enter at static IP. I have tried about a half dozen access points with no luck. I have even done a complete phone wipe of data and tried reconnecting without logging into my google account to sync down my wifi settings. This pretty much prevents me from connecting to any public wifi hotspots unless I can guess their IP range. I have never had anything other than the stock ROM and OTA updates. Is there something somewhere I can clear or reset to fix this? It worked at one time long ago prior to jellybean I think.
