Very big problem with my Desire and Wifi Connection

Hey guys,
im running a Desire with the newest Leedroid Rom. Everythings working perfect,
except the wifi network connection.
My Problem:
After i updated from branded 2.1 to 2.2 with OVA Update, i cant connect to any
encrypted wifi. I dont get an error or something, it just tries to get a ip adress
and then it says Connecting... and then it starts again from trying to get an
ip-adress and so on and so on...
The only thing thats working is to connect to an open wifi hotspot.
Things i tryed:
- Other Router, other settings, other decryption, other keys,and so on
It has to be a problem in updating process, cause with 2.1 it works and after i
update to 2.2 i cant connect to any wifi anymore.
I really need help cause i think this cant be a hardware problem, cause everything else is working.
Sry for my english, tried my best

Do a full wipe and flash leedroid again.

I have done full wipes like 100 times, also im always testing new roms,
so i was on modaco,leedroid,cyanogen and installed them many times.
So that cant be the problem
nge89

First how do you do a full wipe?
Second what is a OVA update? is it the same as OTA? And what does the update have to do with your wifi not working on leedorid? Did you OTA update form a rooted 2.1 rom?
Has wifi ever worked on 2.2? What radio are you using?

I do a full wipe with all 4 wipe options, dont know the exactly names.
Yeah sry,with OVA i mean the OTA.
No, i did a OTA Update from a branded unrooted 2.1 Desire to the branded 2.2 Froyo version. And wifi NEVER worked on any 2.2 version.
I just rooted my phone when i was on branded 2.2 version, cause i wanted to
try some of the nice roms.
In this time i never used wifi, only mobile network connection, cause i was long
time not at home and couldnt use any wifi, now im back here and trying to solve
my wifi problem.
Just checking my Radio version and i have 32.36.00.28U_4.06.00.02_2, but i dont
know why, thought i had installed a newer
Should i try the 32.49.00.32U_5.11.05.27?

Yes looks like 2.1 radio, try the newer but do not pull the battery during the update it will reboot twice and don't touch anything during the process. I take no responsibility for what happens and I suggest you do some searching on the radio flashing process. Also don't forget to check the md5 of the download.
Might sound a bit scary but if you follow the procedures and don't do anything stupid it should go well.

i encountered the same problem only i'm on 2.1 after downgrading from 2.2 and rom jumping. did a wipe and even tried to nand restore my original stock rom. is this a radio error?
the phone was working fine. this issue happened to me while i was trying to fix a battery drain problem, i did a dalvik + cache wipe and the battery was fixed but the wifi started doing this. my phone could still be on the 2.2 radio

Would be nice if you would post the radio version

was about to edit my post with the info, you beat me to it
Radio: 5.11.05.27
HBoot: 0.93.0001

Im now also on 32.49.00.32U_5.11.05.27. Still the same Problem.
That u can imagine how it looks like:
1. Wlan -> power on
2. Select my Wlan Acess Point
3. Type in my Wlan Key
4. Its says Wlan -> " The Connection is now being established"
5. Wlan -> "Authentication with "Wlan Accespoint name" "
6. Wlan -> " Not Connected"
7. Wlan -> "Scan..."
After this steps it repeats from step 4-7 again and again and nothing is happening.

Also tried with another keyboard, in another thread someone said it worked for him
with another keyboard. But not for me, still the same problem.
nge89

ok i fixed the problem and now Wifi works perfectly!
I downloaded the same version radio and flashed it again from AmonRA recovery and now the Wifi and mobile network work just fine.
I got the radio from this thread and it has the instructions on how to flash the radio.
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=687464

I just flashed the radio with clockworkmod and with install zip from sdcard. Is that wrong?
You had the same problem like me?

no its not wrong, thats what i did only with AmonRA. yeah from your description i had the same problem. The wifi would detect my wireless network but would refuse to connect and kept giving me "unsuccessful" errors.

The problem is, that i dont get any error.

Some one any idea?

flashing the radio again didn't fix it?

Did you try to disable any protection (wep, wpa, wpa2) on your router and then connect? Also try to disable dhcp on your router and assign static IP adress to your HTC device. I had problems connecting to wifi but after I assign static IP everything is ok.

Yeah, i can connect with disabled security. With static ip and crypted wifi it
doesnt work, i cant connect.
nge89

Then your problem most probably lies in "shaking" between HTC and router. Did you try with basic 64 bit or 128 bit wep? In many cases shaking troubles occur when one device doesn't support encryption of another. For example I had troubles connecting my windows 7 because of ****ty drivers off my wireless card. I could only use wep. Also can you check that portable wi-fi hotspot in wi-fi hotspots is disabled? And try to add your wireless manually so when you enable wi fi it should connect you automaticly without having you to enter your password.

[Q] Wifi constantly cutting out on eMIUI 1.1.14

This is driving me crazy. I had stock 2.2 on my HTC Desire before, and wifi worked perfectly. Then I changed to Miui because my internal memory was chock full and now I discover that Wifi constantly cuts out without the phone switching to mobile data. This means that I've been without email notifications for hours at a time without realising. Each time I want to use my phone to surf while at home, I have to turn wifi off and then back on.
Anyone know what causes this or how I can fix it?

Update to the latest radio? To be honest, using custom roms always have their bugs. Just because they are 2.2, they are no way near the same version of coding that you get from a manufacturer so yes, there are going to be some bugs and flaws in custom roms. You could try to update the radio as I said to 5.14.05.17. You could also try putting the Wi-Fi to never sleep, Settings > Wi-Fi and Networks > Wi-Fi settings, press menu key and click advanced, changed the Wi-Fi sleep policy to never or if they don't work, backup your data and just flash the rom again with no data wipe.

I already set it to "never sleep" - it was the first thing I changed when wifi started dropping. The radio was already at the level they mentioned before I flashed it, as well, so I can't upgrade that either. I'll see what if it gets any better by rebooting it and maybe changing some settings on my router - if it doesn't, I'll do the re-flash but somehow I doubt it will fix it.

It'll be most likely a problem with the rom.

Wifi problem..

After upgrading to ARHD 5.1.4 i cant connect to my home network via wifi. In the office i have no problems. Reflashed radio, checked passwds, but i cant find a solution. Any ideas?

changed to LeeDroid 3.0.3 and the problem insists. Any ideas?

WiFi connection problems
Hi there,
Same here! (home: connection = OK, but no data will pass through; office: connection = OK and data fully functional).
Have been looking around a bit for WiFi problems and Gingerbread. Haven't come up with any solution so far, but the problem seems to be Android 2.3.3 and HTC twitters they are on it.
Which won't help so far...
Tried a patch too, but that didn't bring any solution neither...
BTW: they do say it has to do with WiFi dropping below -88dB. Well, I'm almost sitting on top of my WiFi Access point, so that can't be the problem neither.
Regards,

delete your SSID (or select "forget"), whichever option you have.
reboot the rooter.
Try again.

i did hard reset to my modem but no success. Is there a particular way to delete ssid?

I had similar problem when my SSID was on hidden.
Could that be the issue here?

Sorry to say your solution didn't do the trick for me.
It still bothers me why the signal and reception quality are super, connection is established but data won't flow
Regards

Same issue here, going to go back to 2.2.1 see if that makes any difference

well thats strange, any 2.2.1 froyo rom including stock and custom WiFi works perfectly, any 2.3.3 rom and my wifi refuses to process any data
any ideas guys?

[Q] Lost Data Signal

I recently (1 week ago) flashed Paranoid Android's latest ROM (3.99 I believe) and have been running flawless since the flash. However, this morning my phone hasn't been able to pick up a data signal. I can connect to WiFi and also can receive calls (I am getting phone signal), but no data is working on my phone unless I connect to a WiFi signal.
What I've tried:
- rebooting the device
- updating profile and prl
- rebooting to recovery and fixing permissions
- rebooting the device
- toggling wifi and data (on/off)
- rebooting the device
Did I mention I rebooted the device? Nothing.
Any help here?

Is data even enabled? Check and uncheck, reboot (Settings > Wireless & Networks > More > Mobile Networks > Data enabled)
Do you have a data usage cap set?
It sounds like Sprint cause of the profile/prl. I've had outages for my area before, luckily my personal phone is on AT&T...

Thanks for the suggestion, unfortunately I've tried it already. I do not have a data cap set on the phone. I'm hoping it is with Sprint and not anything too complicated. If other co-workers have Sprint and their data works, would that indicate that it is on my end?

The data issue with sprint is because its a 4.3 ROM, and data with those ROMs( on sprint ) is hit or miss. They're getting better, but not 100% yet. Just flash back to 4.2.2 and you should be fine

That's actually my SkyHigh kernel and nothing to do with custom ROM. Just root, flash CWM or TWRP recovery, flash the kernel and install synapse.
OP,
Have you tried to upgrade your firmware to a newer release? Search sammobile and manually flash with Odin.

Weird.
I take it you have no other battery saving/power saving apps installed? e.g Juice Defender (I'm guessing not if you're not rooted).
There must be something else affecting it if it's not the wifi sleep settings.
I presume you're not using smart network switching either?

I new it was your kernal that allows you to do this not the rom, just thought it would be good to give the op a solution to give the bloke a solution resulting in not only having a kernal thats mint by the way that gives him control of this function but also a much better touchwiz rom in the process....wasnt trying to discredit you m8 sorry if it appeared that way....love the work by the way m8 without people like yourself us lot would be stuck with the rubbish preset settings that arnt changable and none negotiable.
