Odin a refurbished phone to ReRFS Format Stock ROM EC05.
The wifi will connect to my router but I get no data.
Sprint says to return the phone.
Could it be that I didn't consider if I was coming from DI18 or EB13 or if it was even EC05.
Maybe the modem just needs to be updated.
I really need advice, because I do NOT want to send the phone back unless the hardware is truly defective. What should I do?

Odin the DI18 stock, it will immediately start downloading the EC05 OTA. WHile it is downloading check your wifi in DI18. If it works there, then install the EC05 when it is done and check it again. If it don't work in DI18 it probably won't in EC05 and may be defective. Check it with a public wifi like McDonald's to make sure it is not an IP address conflict or something.
Okay...
Okay. Just did that.
Same problem.
3g is busy downloading what I presume is the ota update.
I did go to a sprint sales point (in the mall... not a full blown sprint store) where I was able to connect to wifi and get data.
I do connect to my isp with a static ip configuration.
Is this my problem? If so, how do I fix it?

Uncheck the static ip box and rescan. Reboot your modem and router and the phone should connect. If you need to use a static IP also put in the DNS server address. You should be able to get that info by running ipconfig on your computer in a command prompt box.
Do you BONSAI?
Try ipconfig/all

Sprint said to send it back to Asurion.
Asurion sent replacement.
Exact same issue.
Epic will hand shake with the router and establish a connection, but it wont give me any data.
Sprint says there's been a nationwide outage for the Airrave 2 which explains why that isn't connecting.
2 phones, exact same issue??? Something smells fishy.
All devices connected to the router work fine except the Epic.
How can I trouble shoot this?

Did you run IPconfig and get the necessary data to manually enter in your phone? Is there some security settings in your router preventing you from getting on the net such as guest settings? Do you have the correct security type set such as WEP or WPA? Is the password correct. Have you powered down your router and modem before trying to connect with the phone?
I was only able to connect by powering down the modem and router, then after it came back up my phone would connect but not after a few days so I manually entered the settings in my phone and never have a problem. DNS server settings are important. You should be able to use most IP settings from 192.168.100.1XX.
If all else fails try contacting the customer servce for your router.
I guess while we are on the wifi connection stuff.. i got a question..
Ok here is my dilema almost everyday when i get off work my router will not connect to my epic it registers it and just hangs on obtaining ip address and just hangs forever.
However if i reboot the modem and router it connects instantly and works fine..
ive tried starting from scratch on setting up my router and still is an issue.
this issue also occurs using my wifi on my xbox as well as my ipod touch?
but for some reason it connects to my computers just fine??
Any thoughts, one thing i saw for a suggestion was update the router firmware which i havent had a chance to do yet..
anything i can do to fix this so i dont have to unplug and plug back in my modem and router almost everyday?
thanks

Did I run IPconfig? No, I'm a mac guy. But I did see the ip addresss inside my router, under the mac address filtering and a quick look at connected devices. I put that in as its static ip. I also consulted my router for all the other information except netmask. I've tried it with the subnet mask listed in the router and the phone scans, connects and super quickly I see something about an ip address, then it disconnects. So I just leave out the netmask and I'm able to connect, but still no data.
As I said, I'm able to handshake with the router. I connect by manually going to the ssid which is not being broadcast. I enter the correct password and establish a connection. But the browser on the phone says unable to display page.
The DNS are directly from Comcast and work in my router.
I spent about two hours yesterday talking with Linksys and they trouble shot everything and told me the problem was with the phone. They said I have multiple devices connected to the router and everything works fine. The problem is in the phone.
Any thoughts, one thing i saw for a suggestion was update the router firmware which i havent had a chance to do yet..

I just updated my firmware on my router, it was like 4 or 5 firmwares old lol
Ill let you know this week if that fixed my problem
And the problem isnt in the phone where as my xbox and sometimes my laptops disconnect after a day or so, i think it had to do with my firmware being old as a dinosaur lol

So I have done the official 2.2 upgrade but now my wifi isn't working. I have gone into software updates and updated the profile, prl, and checked for new software and firmware.
Wifi keeps saying "obtaining ip address". It's my home wifi and before the update it was working flawlessly.
Appreciate the help.
Do I have this posted in the wrong section, or has this question been answered? I've searched high and low.
Try reflashing newest radio and wimax. Flash one at a time. This has happen to me before with wifi and 4g but on 1. 47. If that does not work flash calklins v1. 02 rom. I am using that on wifi typing thos response. Good luck

from the sound of it he flashed the official OTA so probably isnt rooted.
Have you tried it with any other routers to see if it connects?
try unplugging yor router and re plugging it back in to reset it and try connecting if that doesnt work sounds like your radio is messed up and you may have to take ti to a sprint store so they can reflash it if you arent rooted.

I am using the router for my laptop right now so I dont think the router is the problem.
I had the unofficial .3 update which is when my wifi stopped working, then I upgraded with the fix to .6 last night, still no wifi. I am not root, just bone stock .6 froyo...
Take it to sprint service center. Or delete the wifi settings in the phone and reconnect.

The reason i suggest resetting the router is because they often store information about a MAC address, When the information changes sometimes routers have connection issues. you dont see it a lot and since most of the time the information doesnt change (you dont update much on your pcs that would cause this). When it does change (ie a radio from a phone) it can sometimes cause issues. that's why i suggested you restart the router. I have had it happen several times when changing radios on my phones over the years.
Just because 1 thing connects to a router does not mean it cant contribute to another thing not connecting to it. I also wouldnt bet my life that it would fix it or anything.i was just giving a suggestion that HAS worked for me in the past when similar issues happened.IT was a good place to start. It would also help verify the problem is in deed with the phone from an actual tech point stand instead of an assumption.
anyway best of luck with getting this fixed

it is definatly the phone then. It sounds like thw Wimax radio didnt flash right. With out Root i think your best bet is to drop by a sprint store they should be able to reflash it for you.
@chris17house
I have the same issue on my EVO that is still on 1.47.
The first time I connected my router gives my phone a lease for a ip address (lets say 192.168.0.010) and associates it with the mac address of my phone.
When I try to reconnect at a later time, the lease for my phone on the router has not expired, but the router gives my phone a new ip address (let say 192.168.0.020), which causes a conflict with the same mac address, but two different ip address. Once I reset my router and my phone the problem is fixed, because the router releases the lease and my phone does a dns flush.
Do you think flashing the wimax or radio instead of reflashing the entire rom would be worth a try? And if so, where is that file located please.
Ok, so wifi connects everywhere except my home. I have unplugged the router and modem for an hour and reconnected them. I still am unable to connect to my home wifi. Is there something more i need to be doing?
I was having the same problem with work and home, but all I did was forget both locatations and discover them again.

Thats not the problem.
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.

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,

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?

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.
I switched to my older phone so that I could save ten a month for the time being. Though wifi isn't working. Anyone knows what gives or could be done so that wifi could be used ? -Thanks Nolon
Gonna need more info to be able to help you.
ROM, Modem, etc.
I'm using midNIGHT rom v.3.3. dk28 that's modem right ?
It shows that it connects to my home network but it looks like it kicks it off and says it is disabled.
Update the Modem to EB13 for starters.
I was thinking about calling Sprint too perhaps.

They're not going to be much help to you since you're running a custom Rom, they will recommend you go to a Sprint repair center and they're just going to ODIN your phone back to stock.
Will do. Just won't be able to atm. Do you think it's a Sprint issue or ? As it wasn't an issue until I killed the contract. I'll message back possibly tomorrow or the next day ? Busy with the kids.
It isn't within Sprints control to disable wifi from your phone, it's most likely some kind of modem issue.
Ah well it's been running for 75 hours. I'll reboot and post back tomorrow or tonight. Thanks for the info.
I figured it out. I noticed I was able to connect to open connections but not my secured connection regardless if I knew the password. I'm unsure what the issue was but I can only assume it's something to do with if you choose to severe your contract with Sprint or change phones that for whatever reason secured wifi connections won't work..But how did I fix it ? I changed my SSID and my password to my router. It's now running full speed. I'm still using version 3.3 midNIGHT. I need to change that out after figuring out if the video and camera will work better these days. It's been awhile since I've been on here or tinkered with my phone though. Just rearranged my computer today. Still need to blow it out though. :/ Anyways just for reference. Hope this helps if anyone has a similar issue at anytime.
Sprint has absolutely no control over your phone being able to connect to wif. It was most likely a problem with your network and I would guess a reset of your router would have solved the problem.

Perhaps I didn't write that properly. Thee incident occurred the day that I released my Epic from my contract with Sprint. Not that it happened because of Sprint. Unsure why it occurred. What I do know is resetting my router fixed the error and that if anyone else were to run into this problem. I hope they find this thread. My wifi connection is still running strong since I had reset the router also.
Did you try rebooting your router and modem? sounds like an IP conflict.

Hi everyone,
I'm enjoying my One X since last Thursday. I did have one problem, though : my wifi wasn't working at home. What happened is that the phone correctly connected at the network, but then it would "kill" the wifi.
I mean, neither of my laptop computer nor my old Desire (which were both connected before the One X) worked on wifi after I connected the One X, which by the way didn't work either.
Considering this issue I wen't to the carphone warehouse to have another phone.
I didn't go home straight, I got to try other wifi network, which worked perfectly.
But, at home, I'm still having the same issue !
Can anyone help me please ?
so none of your hardware is now connecting to your Wifi?
If so, I would suggest a hard reset of your Hub/router. If there is a reset button hold it in for 20-30 seconds, if not, unplug for 30 seconds.
If it's just your One X not connecting try going through settings to ensure its setup correctly.
Had the same issue with my sgs and avm fritzbox 7390. The only thing that helped was a complete factory reset of the fritzbox.
Try using a static ip, make sure it is unique.
There is a setting under wifi advanced to stop the wifi from sleeping when phone is off or kill it if the signal drops or if your phone is idle. I modified those and it works perfectly. Default setting is to kill it.
Nothing is wrong with your wifi. It's just the way you've got it setup.

I didn't find those settings. In wifi advanced I only found an setting that disconnect the phone when signal is low.
I should mention that whenever the One X is set on wifi, it works for like a minute. Then all of my devices can't access the internet. Desire and One X are showing that they are connected, but no access to play store, browser... Computer is showing an error message "limited access". And my TV (which I get with my internet box) is freezing.
What I don't understand is that I tried on two friends' network, everything worked perfectly. Only at home As Cxpher said, I guess it must be my wifi that isn't set up correctly. But what can I do next, except hard reset and static ip ?
EDIT : I tried to connect the One X without having any other device connected. It worked, but as soon as I launched the Play Store, I lost the connection and had to reboot my box. Apparently the Play Store is messing everything up. Weither I have hardware connected or not, it never works (again, only at home).
Up.
Anyway, not being able to use my own wifi is a bit annoying
Same exact issue. Phone going back tomorrow.
WiFi fine for 2 years.
New one x WiFi dropping and having to reset router after 2 mins connected as all WiFi dies.
Seriously fcukd off!
Which router do you have? Is there any logging-function available in the router software/firmware?
Standard netgear.
It's been fine with s2 and hasn't needed to be reset for a over a year....until yesterday!.
Not overly tech, would a log facility help?
A log would help to see what is going on with the router when the phone connects. The fritzbox showed an authentication error when my sgs connected and killed the wifi for all devices in the network. Just googled your problem. Netgear and htc devices seem to have problems very often when connecting. You should try to get the newest fw for the netgear. Maybe that solves the problem.
Thanks for your help. Latest firmware is installed tho.
Bizzar issue!
Shame as its a nice phone too
I have a classic french box (called Bbox). For the record that actually is my second phone. I had the same issue with the first one, so I went directly to ask another one.
So has exchange phone resolved the issue?
Sorry I explained it wrong. I meant I already had the problem when I first bought the phone, so I went to get another one. I had the issue on both One X.
Well i have got a netgear router and have no problems at all must be something to do with you router or it setting i would do full reset and see if that helps
hi guys!
i had the same problem with my router ( netgear DGN 1000), i solved by updating the router firmware to latest manually! no more wifi drops now!
i hope this information can help all users with this issue!
In an other thread somebody had advised to deactivate the wifi password in the router. That helped fix the problem at his phone. I will try this too to confirm that. But wifi without password is an absolute NoGo in my opinion.

I'm bringing this up again because issue is still here ; removing encryption on the wifi network changes nothing. Other thing now, it didn't only happened at home but also at work.
Warranty is now void, this is my second HOX and I had the same problem on both. Anyone has a magic solution ?
same issue
Im having the same wifi issue using a D-Link DIR-615. Wifi is working perfectly with other device but when my One X connect to wifi, it freeze the wifi network for all devices. I Always need to unplug/plug the AC cord to reboot and refresh the wifi network and after it may works for a couple of mins or maybe 1 hour and after I must reboot the router again.
My router firmware is up to date but there is no more support/firmware update for the DIR-615 REV. B since 2008!
I switched to static ip and snag persist so im back in dhcp.
I cleared the router log and will post it next time it will freeze.
I rooted my phone and installed the MOAR rom and noticed my WiFi wasn't connected. I installed the CM rom and still no connection. I unrooted my phone and went back to factory settings and still no connection.
Any ideas on how I can fix this issue?
it could be a few things, mac address enabled on your router blocking your phone ( phones mac address could have changed due to flashing new rom), maybe just power cycle your router, if you can connect to a different wifi spot, its gonna be either your router's settings or you've entered the wrong info on your phone for your wifi. check it again. or worst case, your wifi card in phone is going out if you can not connect to any wifi.

I think it's the second theory. I couldn't connect to my school's WiFi or Starbucks' connection. I ended up calling Samsung and went through their troubleshooting and still no resolve. I tried the *#0011# and saw that my WiFi consistently stated it was Disconnected. No IP address shows up in my settings. I think the WiFi needs to be repaired on the phone and I'm sending it in.
I just bought a Blackberry for temporary use tho lol I'm going to be :silly::silly::silly::silly: for a while

That sucks about your phone! Just be sure to flash stock rom and stock recovery and make sure it's unrooted before sending in it in for repair!!! Good Luck!

No not at all, I keep running into Authentication Errors. I noticed I don't have an IP address, either. Below are some screen shots.
Yes something is definitely wrong.
