when i turn the wifi on it saids turning wifi on then error so restart phone and still dont work i tryed a diffrent froyo and still dont work and tryd to reinstall it any idea on how to fix it thank you
What Kernel are you using, and did you apply the wifi patch if you're using 2.6.25 kernel.
If you're using 2.6.32, did you apply the androidupdate file associated with the kernel?
Need more information...

Buy a wireless router and stop stealing your neighbour's bandwitch
Jokes aside, how far away are you from the wifi router?
I usually get two bars when I'm close to my router and by close I mean from 5cm to 3 meters. I rarely get the full signal...it probably could be improved by kernel/modules but the downside would be shorter battery life.
There are numerous reasons why you only have 1 bar for wifi. It could be interference with other wifi routers in the area, using a crowded channel, bad antenna.
But I doubt it's the wifi on the phone, unless the antenna for it is damaged...
Experiment, try different channels on your router to see if you get a stronger signal, move the router around the room, and check the antennas as well.
Hope this helps.
its not my thing it worked fine on fianl dark i got all the bars i went to froyo because i dont get the close error anymore and froyo is faster and dont lag when do you thing they will fix thr problem
Hi guys,
I`ve been using an HTC Desire the last couple of weeks and to avoid overloading my dataplan when I am at home I use my WiFi. It worke just fine `till today , when the phone connects as always but it cannot load any Internet pages or open any apps that use the Internet. If I switch to 3G it works just fine, when I go back to Wifi it stops working again.
The phone shows up on the DHCP Lease List in the Router Admin page. I can ping with no loss of data. I`m clueless to what might have happened.
Please help.
Thank you
Try changing channels on your router.
Remember seeing a post about this awhile back.

it worked just fine. THANKS A LOT. although i don`t really get why it worked till today. thanks again.
Not a problem. Just remember to help others when you can.
I'm having the same issue, WiFi connects fine but there's no data. Tried it all, different radios, changing WiFi channels on my router, different ROMs, etc. but nothing worked. Meanwhile an old Nokia E71 works like a charm with the same router... what can this be?
In your Wifi Advanced settings, you can select number of channels in Regulatory Domain. Also, check your WiFi sleep policy, and set it to Never.
Might help

Only other suggestion I can think is to change your RIL.
There is a thread here:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=902752
Do you have good 3G, calls signal etc?
I use the latest (17) radio any the Nexus (1001G) RIL and have no issues.

Tried different RILs...
This is the thing, just went to my office and it works fine with a router over there. It fails to work at home, where it DID work in the past as well. All other devices I have are working fine with my home router except for Desire... Any ideas?
CM7, RC3 Rom has this option.
Can't think of any other issue with a home Wifi setup.
I dunno if my problem is wifi related, but when using K-9 Mail, Yahoo and Gmail always returns unsent, with the "Message not sent, connection reset by peer" error always appearing. It wasn't like this before, and my wifi works okay with my laptop. Market on my phone works flawlessly too. Anyone got an idea of what might've gone wrong?

Tricky....
Logic - on the day the problem occurred, something changed on a) your router, b) your hanset. Did you do any updates, flashing etc. or were there any updates to your router ISP? New tariff or anything, maximum number of connections?

I did flash LeeDroid 3.03, coming from 3.02... then rolled back to 'fix' the issue but it persisted. I tried then flashing _most_ available radios, RILs and ROMs so I think it's router related. Now, why would this be the case if all other devices connect just fine to the same router? Does Desire have some issues with 802.11N routers?
Regards
I have a problem with wifi after I put update on 2.3.3
whether it can solve this problem with wifi.
I always shoot and it turns the wifi network.
be a good wifi network signal then disappears
Same problem here
This is a very serious problem. Get ur act together HTC, this is just unacceptable!
Are you rooted? HTC raised the signal strength at which the connection would be dropped, there is a fix if you are rooted, otheewise you are stucm and will have to wait for HTC to correct this.
Sent from my Desire HD
Have you tried another radio? of course be careful if you do change it
same issue, though htc say that its a "new feature" to provide a seamless mobile broadband experience by automatically chosing the strongest signal. whatever you say htc
i just disable mobile data at home, so it cant jump back to 3g and stays on wifi. the annoying thing with this is that i forget to enable mobile data when leaving the house.
i hope they sort it out, and that this new feature isn't rolled out across their other products
I am having the same problem. At work, my wifi connection is weak, but was always functional. Now, I cannot connect to my work wifi. On top of that, my battery drains twice as fast on my phone, and I'm thinking that it's due to the phone always scanning and trying to connect to the wifi signal. If it's true that HTC changed the level at which the wifi signal is dropped, this was a terrible decision.

I think this may answer/point to the problem I'm having since installing the Gingerbread RUU. I use the quick settings app from the market and pre-gingerbread it used to switch between wi-fi/mobile pretty seemlessly, turning off the unused option. Now if there's no wi-fi connection that option seems to stay on (probably searching) while it's connected to mobile data. As above, my battery is draining like a sieve.

Same problem for me with Original Rom.
so i tried the Revoloution HD 5.1.4 and same problem again!
Hi guys until HTC release an OTA fix (that's if they do) the only way to resolve this is to root and then try some different ROM and radio combinations until you find one that works for you.
I find the ROM and radio from my signature work really well on WiFi but if you are going to do this make sure and root, gain S-OFF and ENG S-OFF. Also make sure you have the correct RIL for the ROM and radio that you are using
There are lots of threads on the dev section that guide you through this.
Wifi connecting
I have a similar problem with wifi connection. Only it doesn't disconnect during a connection but when establishing a wifi connection it takes much longer than it used to on Froyo. Anyone else noticed this?
i have problem too with wifi
I really hope htc has stopped the updates and resumes with a new build with the wifi problem fixed
The issue is with the Gingerbread Sense ROMs.

WiFi problems with routers
Hi there,
Same problem here. Both my WiFi router and phone say signal and reception quality are perfect and connection it stable, but data won't flow.
I'm having this problem with my Speedtouch (WEP key) router at home, whereas a Sitecom router at the office works fine (WPA etc. key).
Tried some work arounds, without success
Regards
***EDIT***
I can add that it has nothing to do with the reported threshold of -88dB signal strength. As I checked that with the *#*#4636#*#* option and both higher and lower values of the WiFi reception don't make any difference. The problem persists.
***EDIT v2***
The suggestion posted elsewhere to change from WEP to WPA didn't work out either
***EDIT v3***
Reverted back to ARHD 3.7 and WiFi is running fine again .
Hope some fix will be found soon!
Regards,
Is there any solution. I am trying to downgrade the radio but no chance.
If I use LeeDroid or Revolution will this same problem be there?
Hello,
My Desire runs CM7 (latest nightly) and is connected to the internet via a Linksys WNR160N Wifi Router with DD-WRT firmware on it. But this combination gives me massive battery drain, up to 8% per hour. I've changed the DD-WRT version a couple of times, but that doesn't solve the problem. I've used a lot of CM7 versions, but the problem is with all of them, so it has nothing to do with the nightly I run. The problem exits for a few months now.
When I flash a Sense rom on my phone, I have no problem. When I use a different Wifi router, there's also no problem. A fresh install of CM7 doesn't help. So it is just the combination CM7 and DD-WRT, but that's the combination I prefer to use.
Anybody an idea or solution to fix this?
CM7 use wifi N hack ? Maybe that is the cause. At least from what i've read activating wifi N can cause higher battery drain - and as you said you have wrt160N router which obviously has wireless N implemented.
You can try use other channel, Try OpenWRT instead of DD-WRT, Chech if you have enabled "best wireless performance" (Or similar) - In advanced settings of wifi.
Go into wireless and network then wireless settings. Press menu then advanced and change it to never, the wifi policy sleep thing.
Swyped...

Also try to disable "Best wi-fi performance".
Thanks for the replies. But it has nothing to do with wifi sleep policy, which was already on never. Also changing wifi channels doesn't help. The wifi n hack also isn't the problem, i've used a vast range of roms over time, OpenDesire, Oxygen, Leedroid, RCMix and they had wifi n and there was no problem. Also changing wireless settings doesn't help (and this still doesn't explain why only CM has this problem and why there's no problem on other N routers) So I really have tried my fair share of solutions. I will try OpenWrt, I thought there was no build for my router, but there is. So I will try that.
Did you solve this issue?
Thor
Yes I did. I flashed the latest build of DD-Wrt standard and that solved it. Previously I had used a lot of different builds, but mostly mini and micro builds. So I don't know exactly what does and what doesn't work.
I am unable to connect to my WIFI at home, I have tried everything I can think of, which is quite a bit. All I get is obtaining IP loop and then says poor signal and quits trying, (I have tried sitting right next to the router) My router shows that DHCP has handed the phone an IP, but the phone does not seem to take.
Tried adding a network manually
Tried advanced settings, and giving a static IP address, I can get it to show its connected but can not get any internet, data etc.
Tried the *#0011#
Tried a master reset, and tried to connect to wifi before installing anything.
I am at a loss, would not be a big deal but the 4G at home is sketchy, cuts in and out a bunch, plus for what I paid for the phone the wifi should at least work.
Tmobile tech support is not much help, neither is Samsungs.
Any help is appreciated!

Does your phone's wifi work on other networks? (Coffee shop, neighbor's, etc..)
What type of authentication is your router using? Try disabling authentication and see if it works.
What model is your router? Does it have up to date firmware?

Yes it connects to my work wifi.
WPA/WPA2
Its a Belkin router, not sure of the model off the top of my head, I know its somewhat newer cause it has the N protocol.
I would really suspect the router if I did not have other devices that work fine on the network, 2 kindle fires, 3 laptops, 1 S,Captive, Wii, and Xbox, and my Vibrant worked fine till I got this phone. Not everything is on at the same time, but I am sure that would not matter cause I have never had an issue when it all was connected at the same time.
Have you flashed a kernel lately? I have issues connecting to my router flashing some kernels. Just a thought.

Or if you are on a custom rom, reflash the same rom again.

I have the same issue, but my Wifi wont connect to any network and actually show throughput if I set the wifi power **** to off with the *#0011# menu.
I was stuck on stock roms because akop based (cmx) dont have that service menu.
I recently flashed to Uvalh2 stock rooted and the wifi works as it should for the 1st time ever. I flashed back to ulvem and it needs the 0011 **** again...
my home router is also a belkin with b/g/n, but my wifi never worked anywhere without the menu trick;
ANY help to troubleshoot if this is radio/kernel/rom based or what setting the menu changes so we can possibly set it manually in terminal..
thanks for this thread
Best I can think of real quick is to try different kernels and modems. (Check out the Modem Flasher in dev, makes it really easy)
Sent from my SGH-T999 using xda app-developers app
Just hate the fact I have to try other kernels and modems after paying an arm and a leg for this phone, should not have to.
And seeing I have never done that before it makes me heisatate even more, I am sure I can do it, just that whole what it.
I just dont get why if I give the phone a static IP then it will connect, but can not move data, I went to the *#0011# and was able to ping the router and laptop on the network etc. I am at a loss
Anyone have any other suggestions on this issue???
