I have been playing around with Antha's and BlueFire's VPN clients recently and have encountered a bug/annoyance that is common to both. After either of the clients are installed, anytime that I do a soft reset wifi turns on immediately during boot. The problem is that the wifi cannot find any signals for at least 5+ minutes. It just sits there. Even if I cycle the power on wifi, it cannot find anything. After 5-10 minutes, it suddenly acts like all signals turned on and can connect to everything. After I uninstall, everything returns to normal and wifi is not activated on boot up.
I was wondering if anyone knew why wifi is activated on boot up now due to the vpn client install, and if there is a way to stop it. Also, any ideas of why it would be unable to find any signal at first?
Im running schaps 3.60a, and have also seen this happen on schaps 4.01. If you have encountered this also please post!!
I have also experienced behavior similar to this on Schaps 4.01 using various VPN clients, Bluefire and AnthaVpn included. Any tips would be greatly appreciated!
Here's rather strange behaviour I have encountered on my EVO recently.
I have an EVO running with 1X Data + WiFi in India on the Reliance Network. Have been using this for many days with various Eclair builds (official, official rooted, mods etc.) and everything works just fine.
I can use 1x data, I can setup Google accounts, and use any and all services on the handset (like Gmail, Market etc.)
But the moment I switch to any Froyo build (official Froyo, or CM6, or even Fresh EVO), Google sign-ins stop working, and along with it, all related apps like market, Gmail etc..
Data works just fine, I can browse the web, I can install APKs using a third party installer like APKTor or Blapk over both WiFi and 1x, I can even visit Google, Gmail etc. on both WiFi and 1X Data in the browser. But, If I try to add a Google Account to the device, it says "Can't establish a reliable data connection to the server." every single time, on both 1X and WiFi.
I have tried various different Froyo builds, CM6 etc. with multiple Google app packs, but nothing makes this work on Froyo.
The moment I switch back to Eclair using Nandroid, everything works fine. Back on Froyo, same problem every time.
I've tried factory resets (countless times), I've tried complete wipes and fresh ROM installs, and everything else I could think of, but this is just stranger than anything I've encountered till date.
Can any experts help me out? I know you can...please..
Are you trying to sign-in to your Google Account during the welcome/setup? If so, try skipping through all that, wait for your homescreen to load, then launch the Market and add your account then.
That's the closest I've had to a similar issue, sorry.
I've tried both, skipping the welcome, signing in via settings, via gmail, via market and every other method to bring up the sign-in process, they all have the same problem.
Same problem in my evo
Have you found a fix or a way to work around it??

I have flashed to CMod 7 nightly 8 yesterday, to try out Gingerbread, and after several glitches at the start (apparently I had to restart once to get the wifi to work at all), I managed to activate the phone, and started downloading all my apps (thanks for app-brain that kept all my apps listed and ready).
At around noon yesterday, my wifi got disconnected, and it can't seem to get connected again - it just stays stuck on "Obtaining IP Address..." for a long while, before finally giving up and listing my network as "Disabled".
At first, I thought it was something wrong with the wifi in my office, but the same thing happened to me at home in the evening, and keeps on happening to me here now.
I reverted back to factory setting (deleting all my hard-installed apps), hoping it will work again, but no luck. Still can't get connected to the network. Just now I also removed the wireless security of my network completely, and it is still not working.
I switched radios between
2010-12-21 - Radio_12.35a.60.140f_26.04.03.30_M
2011-01-04 - Radio_12.28e.60.140f_26.04.02.17_M2_SF (currently on the DHD)
2011-02-25 - Radio_12.28g.60.140f_26.05.05.27_M3
and there was no difference.
I am now thinking maybe I should do a rom manager restore, to see how it works on the old (stock) rom.
Any tips from anyone here?
It's a bug in the rom. Use rc1 that works fine.

Have you updated BusyBox? I recently updated to 1.18.3 and it broke root & WiFi.
Yeah, coming to think of it, I did install busybox just before the trouble started.
Now I am back on stock rom. I must admit that I find the look and feel of the Sense UI much more pleasing than the Cyanogen's... But maybe it's just a question of getting used to it.
Hi, everyone, I have a DINC2 running CM7 and I have never had problems with my home Wi-Fi before and just today I accidently 'forgot' my home Wi-Fi and I tried to reconnect but it just says "Stuck on IP Address" and then disconnects. I reset the router many times and even tweaked a couple settings but nothing seems to work. I also used the Static IP but my phone just says "Connected" and when I go in the browser, my page doesn't load. Please help! (Notice, nothing wrong with my router because I need it to work to access my home Internet.)

Haven't rooted my Dinc2 yet, but I came from a rooted Eris running GSB based on CM7.1. And I although GSB's wifi worked Ok, my experience was that CM7 never connected as quickly or reliably as the OEM Sense did on the Eris... it become something I lived with, often having to manually go into the wifi settings dialog to get things to connect. When I got my Dinc2 last week I was surprised, and pleased to remember, how quickly its OEM Sense 2.1 grabs onto the wifi.
But just as a check, can you nand backup your current CM7 install and then nand restore a previously-good installation to make sure it's not either the phone or router?
Before doing anything drastic, try pulling the battery on your phone, let it sit for a few minutes and restart.. I've had this problem before and this fixed it

I had a similiar issue. It worked one day. Next it just stopped. Reflashed my kernel and it worked again

I have searched for this issue and there are TONNES of threads about it and a lot of proposed solutions but none of them work for me. I have been using this HTC Incredible for some three months now and have gone through various ROM's including some Sense based, CM7, a couple ICS ROM's and MIUI. But every one of them gives me this problem with the wifi at work. The phones finds the network, connects to it, authenticates and then gets stuck at Obtaining IP Address... and then repeats the cycle.
I used to have an iPhone that worked well with the same wifi spot. My friend's Nexus running ICS connects just fine. But my phone exhibits this problem with this wifi spot and a bunch other public spots it has connected to before.
From reading various threads, it happens when Android remembers the last IP address it got at this spot and tries to assign itself that but fails. It does not learn to ask for a new one. Which is verified by the fact that assigning a static IP, then going back to dynamic IP address makes it refresh the IP request and work for a little bit. Then it goes to sleep and the same agonizing cycle starts again.
Is it because of the hardware? Is it because of the Kernel? Does anyone have a clue?
I have tried Wifi Fixer app and that didn't help. Another person has listed three other apps and how those did not work for him (so I didn't even try them).
At this point, this issue is so frustrating for me. Can anyone recommend some more ideas for me to try? Different ROM's, different kernels? Anyone? ANY one?
This happens to me intermittently when I come home. Multiple ROMs and kernels, no rhyme or reason. When I notice it, I restart the phone and have to turn WiFi back on. Then it works fine for a day or longer. I wonder if it's a bug that's triggered by background processes.
I came across this possible fix while searching for something else. Wifi Won't Connect
Also, I would not be so quick to write off those other apps you mentioned, it is very possible that the person who said they did not work had something different that was causing the Wifi to not connect/obtain IP.
Thanks guys. I have installed a new Kernel and will try it as well as the above suggestions in the next couple of days and report back. Here are the suggestions made so far:
1. Turn wifi off. Restart the phone and turn wifi on.
2. wpa_supplicant renaming
3. Other wifi fixing apps.

Have you tried forgeting the network in the wifi settings menu and then try connecting again?
Yes, I have tried forgetting and starting from scratch again. And with the new Kernel, it just doesn't connect at all. Gets stuck in the Getting IP address loop even for the very first time. I tried #1 but that didn't do anything. I cannot rename the wpa_supplicant because I don't have the USB cable with me and the ROM doesn't let me access the internal storage in ES Explorer. And since I can't get on the wifi, I can't try the other wifi fixing apps (#3).
