I finally received my HTC desire today. After playing for a while, I found that it has a problem connecting to a hidden WPA2 secured wireless connection. Can anyone share some light with me here??
No probs here, tested with a couple of networks (hidden, of course)...
should install my new Linksys tonite (or on friday), and will post if anything goes wrong with that.

Hidden with WPA2?? impressive....you must be the lucky one!
sorry, WPA
I have the same issue.
I have a Draytek 2820n modem/router and my Desire will only connect to it if the SSID is not hidden (using WPA2 - that's what the router tells me).
Same problem here. At work the wlan is WPA2 with hidden ssid. Google'd the problems, and seems to be a known issue with Android.

I had a similar problem, and there is an application on the Market which is supposed to handle this. Sorry, I don't know whether it works, because finally I used SSID broadcast. I think the name was HiddenSSDI Enabler.

I've just tried HiddenSSID Enabler on my Desire and it appears to work OK. You need the wi-fi turned on to enable it but you get no indication that it is enabled. I just rebooted (to be sure) and it works. If wi-fi is off when you enter your SSID, it will tell you that it can't find it - which seems logical to me.
Thanks for the tip Jade_user.
Sorry to hijack but it is along the same lines..
When I attempt to connect to my wifi router it gets stuck on Obtaining Address.. So I thought to myself right... set up static IP address for the desire... Connected.. Brilliant... except its not.. can't get on any web pages or any thing else that requires a connection!
I have been able to connect to other wifi spots fine but just doesn't want to seem to work on my router at home! I have checked the settings on the router and all appears to be fine (never had a problem before with any of the multitude of devices that have been connected). Checked the spectrum and the wifi channel appears to be all clear.
The SSID is not hidden, the security is WEP... the router is the stock job sent by O2 (they call it O2 Wireless box II, I forget the real model name but I am pretty sure its a rebranded Thompson..). I have a similar router at another address and it connects fine on that one and both are on ASDL2 lines.
Sorry for the long post but tried to include as much info as possible! Its really annoying not be able to get on the wireless as its a basement flat and phone reception is dire to say the least!!
Many thanks in advance,
Pixie
I have the same issue, phone thinks it is connected to wifi just fine, but no data.
However, after investigating a bit more, it seems that it is the DNS lookups that fails, since in that situation, surfing directly to an ip address works just fine, but not if it requires a dns lookup !?!
Hmmm... I just changed the security to WPA and now it is working fine :S.. still annoying because now we are going to have to change all other devices over.. Might be worth a punt in your case tunedude?

Can you tell me where in the option there is a feature called "HiddenSSD enabler" just cant seem to find them anywhere. Maybe I am blind, can you share some light???

Have you looked in the Market? It's not a standard option, you need to install it from the Market - just search for HiddenSSID.

Ya found it, install it...but no effect?? dont even know if the program work. It just have the screen to type the SSD?? and then enable button. I have clicked many times on the button, but nothing happen. In the Wifi setting, I created the name but still it says out of range.
There is nothing wrong with the WIFI, when I broadcast the SSID, it work just fine. Anyway, I give up...I just broadcast them.
Just add MAC filtering as mentioned before - more secure than hidden SSID

Hey guys
As some may or may not be aware i cant and a few select others can not use WiFi on any custome/stock 2.3.3 rom.
My issue is not with connecting to a router, its with data not being pulled through to the handset, so the handset basically tells me that it cant display a webpage or access the market.
If i use any 2.2.1 rom, stock or custom it works absolutely perfect.
So it got me thinking is it a WiFi driver issue? and if so would it be possible to pull the driver out of a 2.2.1 rom to replace the driver within the 2.3.3 rom?
Gingerbread is not a necessity for me i just want it as an option.
as for HTC they are utterly useless and all they offer is a repair when clearly its a software issue
So is there a way to do this?
i dont think it is possible because drivers are usually built when the kernel is built so swapping one from another rom i doubt will not work..

My Problem SOLVED by flashing LeeDroid 3.0.3. Check That
I've been on the phone with HTC several times and here is what I've heard back via email:
"I understand that you are currently experiencing difficulties with data connection side of the phone.
I cannot give you a reason on what happen to your device even though we have sucessfull models updated with the same FOTA.
In order to rectify this I would like you to perform the following actions:
1) Stop the automatic Backup in your phone. From the Home Screen > Menu > Settings > Privacy. Uncheck "Backup my settings".
2) Copy your Memory Card's personal data (photos, music, etc) into a PC Windows Desktop. Use the option "Disk Drive" when plug the USB cable.
3) Format the SD Card. While connected to a Windows PC. You can select the Format option via Windows Explorer or with the cable unplugged you can go from the Home Screen > Menu > Settings > SD & Phone Storage > Unmount / Erase SD Card.
4) Remove the SIM Card and the Memory Card.
5) Hard Reset your Mobile Device.
6) Skip the initial setup. Do not log into your Gmail account at this stage but setup the correct time and date on your mobile phone.
7) Insert the SIM card, accept the SIM notification on the top left corner and test the voice call, SMS and Internet Service.
Report back if one of this services fails with exact description on how you are doing to perform the task.
8) If possible, switch off and switch on your personal Wi-Fi router after 1 minute. Switch Wi-Fi on your mobile device and connect to the router. Report back if one of this services fails with exact description on how you are doing to perform the task.
9) Log into your Gmail account from the Home Screen > Menu > Settings > Accounts & Sync > Add account and select Google.
Once more test and report back if the problem persists.
"
and with this method you solved the problem?i´ve curiosity lol
Given that I've already had a normal hard reset albeit without sim card dance, is it worth trying to do yet another one?
I just finished reinstalling apps and contacts - would hate to do this all over again.
Thanks
exactly! i am not sure whether the guys in support know what they are talking about...
Just keeping you busy until you've forgotten your original question ;-)

seiously do you read my posts? on two threads you have put the same thing. No matter what custom rom i use the issue is still there, no matter what kernal i use it is still there.
However any 2.2.1 or 2.3.2 rom is absolutely fine

+1 for me there!
I now have switched several times from 2.2.1 to 2.3.3 and back, did full wipes, did resets, did reboots, did reflashes, tried EXT4 in the process, did even some praying... Nothing worked out so far.
I think it's kinda frustrating!
BTW: might there be a link to Thomson SpeedTouch WiFi access points? For I have had the experience that the WiFi did work at my office, where they use (amongst others) Sitecom access points, whilst at home I have SpeedTouch and no data stream.

There could well be a link there, i have a speedtouch router at homel Will try our belking access point at work, give me a few mins
Ok using the belkin at work, nothing, using the linksys one at work, it works.
so there are some defo issues with compatability, one thing is that my speedtouch is an N Series router, the Belkin also is N, the Linksys one is a/b/g
i wonder if there is something broken with compatability. Still no official stance from HTC

At other office, we use D-Link access points (DAP-1360) also N series with no possible WiFi connection running Gingerbread.
I am not sure but afaIk, my home SpeedTouch isn't N series. I will look that up next thing I come home.
Will report back.
Found another WiFi access point at the office 'somewhere in the air': Belkin G Plus MIMO (obviously a G-band router) and it connects fine!!

Hi ascottuk,
Just verified my WiFi access point at home (SpeedTouch) and it definitely is b/g.
So it can't be a N protocol incompatibility problem, since I have the mentioned WiFi problems at home too (and I am sure it isn't a signal strength problem).

Hi ascottuk,
I have a SpeedTouch 716 at home.
This morning I thought maybe there would be a firmware update for that access point: BINGO!
After the update, everything is running fine with Gingerbread

A similar thread was made on the subject - link here https://forum.xda-developers.com/galaxy-note-10+/help/android-10-5g-wifi-dropping-t4037661
For practical intents and purposes it's almost like when the issue happens the phone is not able to resolve a DNS query. I base this on 2 hypothesis - first being that the phone is still connected to the wifi access point and can still access LAN resources. The second being that the phone must either poll the internet (i.e ping a specific address) on a regular basis. If the poll was unsuccessful it flags the connection as "WiFi connected but no internet".
The things you can try are:
update the firmware on your phone (if not already)
factory data reset (read note 1 below)
reset network settings
try a different wireless router (read note 2 and 3 below)
disable private dns (read note 4 below)
If you use tasker create a routine to automate a temporary solution (read note 5)
Notes
The issue maybe a corrupted setting within the phone. I have had similar issues before (not with just this phone) and a factory data reset helped. One thing to take note of is that after the phone had completed it's factory data reset I did not attempt to restore a backup. This is important to keep in mind because any issues that were present (due to corrupted settings) would exist also in the pre-factory data reset backup you made.
With my previous router I had this issue but had since replaced it with a Wifi 6 capable router. After getting the new router I have not had any further issues what so ever. Also make sure your wireless router is up to date on it's firmware. It maybe possible that the wireless router you have is old enough (from when it was released, not from when you bought it) that a replacement might be the only way to resolve the issue.
To help rule out a wireless router issue try using a different one. You can borrow a friend's internet connection for a while, or a public cafe or what ever. Point is you are trying to see if the issue happens again when you are using a totally different wireless access point (by totally different I mean hardware/model and not just renaming the SSID).
I had the issue happen when using private DNS. For what ever reason the issue was with the DNS provider I had choosen. Turning the Private DNS setting off helped resolve the issue. After turning the setting off it may take a bit before the phone recognizes it was turned off, but you can hasten this process by toggling WiFi off and back on.
The Tasker option is one I did and it worked quite well. You may need to adjust the routine to suit your particular needs but it's basically what is at this link here. Best part of this option is that you can have it only activate when your connected to the problematic wifi access point and every X number of minutes (helps ensure that you use it only when needed). The routine (when setup correctly) should run every 10 minutes in where it attempts to access a website and assigns the results to a variable. The variable is then checked to see if it matches a specific result (in this case an error code), and if it does match it will toggle WiFi off and back on (after a brief pause/wait period between toggle off and toggle on) automatically. Granted it sounds like a lot of work, but it's really not that complex. Also I consider this is a temporary solution because you may find that on later firmware updates applied to the phone (or you may end up getting a new wireless router) the issue will have been resolved.

Hey guys,
I am having issues with my Xiaomi Mi 10 LTE, where i have been using my hotspot due to the company wifi being down for a whole week and having a lot of issues. Currently i am only able to use my hotspot if i use no security, as with the WPA-2 security it fails to connect to internet or just outright fails to initialise the connection. If i do connect with no security, it fails if i disconnect or if i lock my tablet for a short time and refuses to connect again. I have found a workaround where i can add security and a password, then leave it to initialize the connection... i can't connect to it even with the correct password, but if i change the hotspot to have no security again it will connect fine. I have tried resetting my connection settings and this fixes it for an hour or so and then stops working. I have tried changing from 2.4g to 5g and back, this doesn't work. If i change the sim card slot it works for an hour and then breaks again. I can use the fix of adding a password and removing it but it is generally a massive pain in the a**.
Does anyone have anything they have tried that works as a perminent fix?
Thanks in advance!
Just to add, i am connecting to the hotspot with my Samsung Tab S7+ which has had no isses with other wifi connections and worked on my S7 Phone so i am sure it is the new phone. I have had it a few months but never used the hotspot until now.
I've been having quite a similar issue, and this is the second time I get it on the same model! I guess this is a bug or an hardware problem related to the model. The only thing I noticed working, and it's not a security issue in my opinion, is the position where you keep it! try to holding it in your hand at different inclination , until you find the right position. the one I'm using right now works better when lying on a table, the previous one worked better in a standing, lightly tilted position, as you can see in th eimage
That is insane! I'll have to try a few things and I'll get back with results. Normally my phone is lying down on a table but I'll check a few positions. I have found that screen mirroring seems to have the same effect... as in it doesn't really work. I don't know if it is just data out when the issue arises as I don't have any problems downloading or streaming etc.

Hi,
So, I just got my S20 5G from Google Fi a week ago or so. I've been noticing that it suffers from little to no connections at times when connected to WiFi. No issue when on mobile data. I did online search and saw someone saying if I change the randomized Mac to Phone Mac, it would fix the issue, but it didn't work for me. I see numerous reports of similar issues on S20 series on the net:

I'd like to know if any of you have faced this issue and if you found a working solution. Some say it's a software issue related to OS update, but some say it's hardware. I want to avoid having to send this phone in or to replace if it's an OS issue since that won't do anything until Samsung releases a fix. But, if it's a hardware issue, then I should. I'd love it if I can get some data points from other people's experience with this issue.

Thank you for sharing your experience. If you come across any possible fix, please share. I'll do that same.
As a possible fix, do this. First check the setup of the Router. You can not use Mac address filtering since the mac address is changing r Randomizing your Mac and the router can no longer depend on a fixed Mac. Second as one of the Randomizing Mac settings where you set up the SSID on the phone set to "Use Device Mac" and be sure no other settings like in developers settings is turn on for Randomization. I'm finding setting it this way and filtering Mac addresses lives together but only for the session be that one-hour or days you phone is connected to the router. This is usually only a problem when you are filtering with router access list or setting a device's mac address to a Specific IP in the router.
