Damnit... yet again I find myself clueless, and yet again I have tried all the solutions I found out there by myself. BUT since there are people brighter than me, I have desided to yet again sit down and let the grown ups teach me...
I have a Desire HD running 7.1 RC of Cyanogen Mod. And something hit me that made me somewhat annoyed.. there is no support for ad-hoc networks, and I cannot for the love of somethuing unholy device a thought into what made someone desided to make it so...
This is actually the reason why I made the choice to root it in the firts place. BUt after several tries, of various methods, I have no success...
I have tried the method with adhoc.zip and recovery and load from zip thingy.
and the wpa supplicant method. For now I can see thm, and from latest try I could click it, and the phone tried to connect, but quickly just desided to connect to my other wireless network... and yes, even after forgetting the network and trying again, the connection is still not active..
And so I turn to you guys to ask if there are some secret way I could make this happend for me...

As the title suggests, I am not having much luck with the wireless.
I turn it on, but it does not see any wireless INTERNET in the area at all. This was working fine a few days ago, but have only noticed it now.
Have tried a factory reset and cleared the SD card to no avail.
Cheers for any help

reset the password on the wireless (can be the same password as ur old one) but it will cause ur network to go down for a bit, and come back up and when its coming back up, ur phone will report it as avalible, and u can access it again, i have noticed this my self. and found it extremely annoying, it seem to be appearing when turning off the wifi on the phone and then turning it on again, after that the phone wont be able to reconnect to any rememebered device(even if u choose to forget it)
Can u please try this, and report back here if its working or not.
incase it is, it might be a issue with the 2.1 for the desire, and should be reported back to android devs.
Thanks for the reply, but Im afraid no cigar.
Reset the router, changed the password and the desire is still not picking up any wireless networks around me even though my Nexus one is.
Pain in the grass as I was to sell my HTC desire today, but if the wireless isnt working thats a deal breaker.
download the free app wifi analyzer and have a look if that one can spot any wifi broadcasts in your area,
Downloaded and it cant seem to find anything at all?
Does this mean somehow my wifi has broken?
Funny thing this because my desire has just done this today.
I went in to my router and disabled the security. I deleted the key on the phone and the phone found the network and connected OK. Went back into the router and re enabled security and rebooted the router. The phone then found the network and asked for the key. Entered the key and all good connecting now.
I've been having the same problem for quite some time now..., send it back to repair came back after a month...,, did it the first time i used my phone. disconected it for battery saving.... and when i turned it back on again it didnt found any wireless connection...
I'm lost... dont really know what to do next....,,, I'll try this method when i get home today....,, hope it works... but does that mean u have to do this everytime you want to use your wifi?:S:S

Are you using stock android or a custom ROM. I seem to remember some custom ROMS having issues with wireless networks on certain channels.
Try changing the channel of your wireless router.

I have a Desire HD, rooted, with cyanogen 7.1 RC installed. And I am very happy for that.
I am planning on buying myself a Parrot Drone, but refuse to get an IPhone to make it work, and thus need Ad-Hoc on my Droid.
I have tried flashing the Adhocv2.zip file, makes my wifi not respond at all. Meaning I can try to log on to wifi's, but they will only disconnect again... Ad-hoc and normal.
I have tried changing out the wpa_supplicant file to the one people have been posting around, but it makes my wifi stronger it seems, but still no ad-hoc.
And then I read something about a guy installing supeaosp 8.2 and it worked flawlessly, but I cant seem to find any place to downloade it. Not for DHD anyways..
SO I ask you, is there something I can do to get ad-hoc enabled, ANY tip will be appretiated...
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).
Hi!
I know there are plenty of threads about the wifi on this phone, I've read every one of them, posted in many places and have had no good outcome.
Here is my (lengthy) story.
Had annoying wifi bugs on stock 4.1.2, seemingly general lack of interest from the phone in connecting to wifi, but would generally connect after a reboot of both modem+phone+ disabling PSM (even then, not always )
6 months on stock go by, thought flashing a custom rom would fix everything and all would be well again, so I flashed PA.
An even more annoying bug showed up,
Turn wifi on > doesn't automatically connect, so I manually go to the wifi settings page and try connecting.
Before trying to connect - Full signal.
While trying to connect - Goes down to one bar while connecting > fails > then goes back to full signal.
Does occasionally connect, but it's rare. Rebooting both phone and the modem does nothing at all, seems to have a mood of it's own.
It's not just my wifi, but wifi at college too, other devices connect to the same access point just fine.
What would fix this? Will pretty much try most things now,I tried flashing NEAK too.
I don't have a data plan either, so my phone is basically useless without wifi, I've resigned to using my laptop all the time.
Thank you for reading this so far, I'd be thankful for ANY advice.
TL;DR :- Annoying wfi bug, tried every 'solution' I've heard of, nothing worked, never buying a Samsung again :crying:
(Attached images of the phenomenon)
UPDATE:- Just like stock, it will only connect if I am a foot away from the router, irrespective of how much signal I have. Even if I have a full signal elsewhere, it won't connect
dude u r running AOSP :silly::silly:
try TW Rom and see if the problem exists

We meet again!
Like mentioned in the post, the only reason I flashed an aosp based ROM was in the desperate hope it'd rid the phone of its WiFi problem.
Thought a custom ROM would do what Samsung refuses to do.
Hope someone has a valid solution for this.

Anyone?
I forgot I already had the range issue for quite a while, even on stock.
I had tried everything, including static IP, wps, and whatever else was stated to work.
Does anyone know of a working solution to this? Is this a hardware/software issue?

In these days I installed about ten roms (and various versions of the same):
FireDroid, eve, openetna, froyo, marjero, ics. None of these roms is for my gw620 even "minimally" functional.
None, except gingervolpe, has bluetooth works. None, except the froyo, has wifi works. Aside radio, keyboard layout, mms, market, camera and more, what most annoys me is not being able to use the wifi.
Is it possible that any rom, except the froyo, has wifi functions decently?
After the first attempts, assuming it was my problem (the neighbor's network was detected), I decided to disable the hidden SSID, make public the domain of the network.
Since that time, any cyanogen rom install, does not detect anything.
A few minutes ago, after days (days!) was able to hook to my network. Needless to say, in a matter of seconds it lost the connection and I can not connect anymore.
I also tried to flash the various "radio" found on the net, but to no avail. Hard reset it all the time but I'm doing nothing. I already tried to change the channel network, nothing. Trying to add the network manually I get the message "Out of Range" and I can not connect. I installed manually (downloaded from a PC and sent to cell) various apk (wifi fixer, wifi radar wifi manager) but nothing. I tend to throw the cell from the window in anger ...
Please, someone answer me ...
ps: sorry for bad english.
Solution.

Try reflashing the rom because for me it works the rom seems pretty stable.
