wifi not connecting ONLY in 1 spot... everywhere else works fine... - Droid Incredible Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

I can't connect at work, but I used to just the other week. Also, ipod touches and other phones can connect to the network, however, I am unable to.
I CAN connect, however, to any other network that I come across... which is the weird part.
When I try to connect, it says "obtaining IP address..." and doesn't stop trying when my wifi is on, so my battery is drained very quickly, i can feel the phone's temperature rising.
do you guys have any suggestions?
htc says just to hard reset...
thank you for any help!

Are you using any ROM's? Did you update the Radio? Or is this completely stock?
I would look at the security settings and the Wi-Fi sleep policy in the advanced menu and see if you need to tweak any settings. Check the simple stuff before you do a hard reset.
Maybe your work changed their Wi-Fi security policy, I know at my work I have to open the browser and log into the network before I have access.

hey, it's completely stock.
my sleep policy is set to never, and it's NOT on static IP...
i was thinking that my work changed their IP policy, but i used an ipod touch to get on the wifi and it worked fine...
could an app be doing this?

Geez, it's tough to say what the problem is. Just to make sure, you did try to open a browser and see if you're redirected to the companies login page, right?
I wouldn't think an app would be causing your issue, but have you downloaded any apps recently that you think might be affecting the phone?
For being completely stock and not changing any settings, I'm not sure what the problem is. Hopefully someone else in the community can chime in with some thoughts.

....unless they blocked your host through verizon...

Desire Wireless Problems

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
Grady
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.

[Q] wifi "avoided poor internet connection", screeoff kills connection

im trying for a week now to get around an issue that is costing me my nerves and renders my phone useless, especially on travel without roaming and data-plan. after screenoff my nexus kills the wifi connection, after some time though, 30 minutes, 1 hour, it seems to change. my company uses skype as the primary means to communitate and i'm just cut off, won't receive important mails, messages, whatever.
when i switch my phone back on wifi starts up again, if im quick enough the settings reveal "avoided poor internet connection" in the hotspots status. so basically it looses the signal for a moment and is not able to connect back on its own. i read 4.0.1 had a setting to circumvent that but since 4.0.2 it's gone. of course keep-alive-during-sleep is checked to "always" in the settings and i tried just about anything, changing basebands, factory resets, cache wipe, etc. nothing helped. the weirdest thing i that the battery stats to not reflect it, the blue wifi line is uninterrupted all the way.
i searched and found dozens of people complaining about this but no solution anywhere. they switched phones and had the same problems still. from little fragments i collected it seems that samsung devices had this issue before, cm7 supposedly fixed a hardware driver that had issues with certain wifi devices on certain frequencies.
im on AOKP b27 now (powersaver on or off with setting to untouched or "leave on" made no difference), leankernel, xxkl1 baseband. today i went back to stock 4.0.2 to see if that does something. still, has anyone here similar problems and maybe even solutions? what about the cyanogens "nexus one sleep fix" i read about, anyone can provide links or informations?
Did you try settings - wifi - menu - advanced - keep wifi on during sleep - always
Sent from my Galaxy Nexus using xda premium
Try changing that setting. I know 2.x defaulted to turn wifi off during sleep but I thought they changed that in ICS. Either way that sounds like the problem.
its not that setting, it's the first thing i checked. it's set to "always" and it should never kill wifi in theory. from what i have read by now it seems more of a wider problem, a software or hardware related issue affecting all nexus devices. most people don't know about it since it only fails for certain routers having certain settings (which other phones digest without problems though). i also never knew it until i had to stay one month in a place with a wifi-hotspot my phone doesn't like. my gf's s2 has no problems at all, neither have our laptops.
here on xda people have switched their devices because of that problem, got new ones and the problem persisted. i have installed roms, kernels, stock-images, basebands, nothing helped and i am sure the problem won't go away if i exchange the device. i knew i'd probably not gain much by asking again, threads like this can be found here, on rootzwiki, google, etc., but i was hoping to gather a little more knowledge. to read about cm7's patch for a similar issue on the nexus one gave me hope that something must be out there ...
btw, stock ICS seems to have the best reception by now, it stays connected for hours. but once it looses it, it won't re-connect aswell. my experiences are worse with AOKP. and it sucks because i love that rom so much. i guess when i'm home again it wont bother me since my own wifi is okay - but man, here, in another country it really hits me.
i had the same problem, seems like the connection would drop when the wifi signal is weak regardless of what settings you choose. i saw this problem on 4.01 and 4.02 stock, and apex rom. i had to switch to a router that could broadcast a stronger signal. i would get about 80-90 dbm with the old router and the new gone give 60-70 dbm. it seemed to have fixed the problem, i havent seen my gnex drop the wifi since i got the new router a few weeks ago.
Ive heard some people have a bug with wifi sleep policy setting not working. But mine seems to actually work. Set to "never" is the best choice and after hours of screen off my wifi is still connected.
Maybe try that setting a few times to kill the bug.
“never"should actually kill wifi immediately after screen off I think. If it doesn't that would be just another bug. I read somewhere that for some people setting it to never resolved the issue but i tried pretty much every setting by now, nothing worked out though. I became so desperate I installed wifi monitor apps that reset wifi after they figure it got dropped, but not even these patches could revive it in some occasions. The only thing that works for sure is switching on the screen every now and then.
It's a wifi sleep policy. So never = never sleep.
Weird, mine says "keep wifi alive during sleep": always, when plugged in, never. our I miss something and there's another setting I haven't tried yet.
this may fix ur problem... for rooted phone

How do you get that? It says "Keep Wi-Fi on during sleep", which implies "never" would always keep the Wi-Fi off during sleep.

[Q] Weird wifi issue

Hi everyone,
I'm enjoying my One X since last Thursday. I did have one problem, though : my wifi wasn't working at home. What happened is that the phone correctly connected at the network, but then it would "kill" the wifi.
I mean, neither of my laptop computer nor my old Desire (which were both connected before the One X) worked on wifi after I connected the One X, which by the way didn't work either.
Considering this issue I wen't to the carphone warehouse to have another phone.
I didn't go home straight, I got to try other wifi network, which worked perfectly.
But, at home, I'm still having the same issue !
Can anyone help me please ?
so none of your hardware is now connecting to your Wifi?
If so, I would suggest a hard reset of your Hub/router. If there is a reset button hold it in for 20-30 seconds, if not, unplug for 30 seconds.
If it's just your One X not connecting try going through settings to ensure its setup correctly.
Had the same issue with my sgs and avm fritzbox 7390. The only thing that helped was a complete factory reset of the fritzbox.
Try using a static ip, make sure it is unique.
There is a setting under wifi advanced to stop the wifi from sleeping when phone is off or kill it if the signal drops or if your phone is idle. I modified those and it works perfectly. Default setting is to kill it.
Nothing is wrong with your wifi. It's just the way you've got it setup.

Actually, my laptop and Desire are connected to the Wifi ; they can't connect only after i set my One X on the Wifi. It's like the phone is destroying the wifi network.

I didn't find those settings. In wifi advanced I only found an setting that disconnect the phone when signal is low.
I should mention that whenever the One X is set on wifi, it works for like a minute. Then all of my devices can't access the internet. Desire and One X are showing that they are connected, but no access to play store, browser... Computer is showing an error message "limited access". And my TV (which I get with my internet box) is freezing.
What I don't understand is that I tried on two friends' network, everything worked perfectly. Only at home As Cxpher said, I guess it must be my wifi that isn't set up correctly. But what can I do next, except hard reset and static ip ?
EDIT : I tried to connect the One X without having any other device connected. It worked, but as soon as I launched the Play Store, I lost the connection and had to reboot my box. Apparently the Play Store is messing everything up. Weither I have hardware connected or not, it never works (again, only at home).
Up.
Anyway, not being able to use my own wifi is a bit annoying
Same exact issue. Phone going back tomorrow.
WiFi fine for 2 years.
New one x WiFi dropping and having to reset router after 2 mins connected as all WiFi dies.
Seriously fcukd off!
Which router do you have? Is there any logging-function available in the router software/firmware?
Standard netgear.
It's been fine with s2 and hasn't needed to be reset for a over a year....until yesterday!.
Not overly tech, would a log facility help?
A log would help to see what is going on with the router when the phone connects. The fritzbox showed an authentication error when my sgs connected and killed the wifi for all devices in the network. Just googled your problem. Netgear and htc devices seem to have problems very often when connecting. You should try to get the newest fw for the netgear. Maybe that solves the problem.
Thanks for your help. Latest firmware is installed tho.
Bizzar issue!
Shame as its a nice phone too
I have a classic french box (called Bbox). For the record that actually is my second phone. I had the same issue with the first one, so I went directly to ask another one.
So has exchange phone resolved the issue?
Sorry I explained it wrong. I meant I already had the problem when I first bought the phone, so I went to get another one. I had the issue on both One X.
Well i have got a netgear router and have no problems at all must be something to do with you router or it setting i would do full reset and see if that helps
hi guys!
i had the same problem with my router ( netgear DGN 1000), i solved by updating the router firmware to latest manually! no more wifi drops now!
i hope this information can help all users with this issue!
In an other thread somebody had advised to deactivate the wifi password in the router. That helped fix the problem at his phone. I will try this too to confirm that. But wifi without password is an absolute NoGo in my opinion.
here the link: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=24811292&postcount=6
I'm bringing this up again because issue is still here ; removing encryption on the wifi network changes nothing. Other thing now, it didn't only happened at home but also at work.
Warranty is now void, this is my second HOX and I had the same problem on both. Anyone has a magic solution ?
same issue
Im having the same wifi issue using a D-Link DIR-615. Wifi is working perfectly with other device but when my One X connect to wifi, it freeze the wifi network for all devices. I Always need to unplug/plug the AC cord to reboot and refresh the wifi network and after it may works for a couple of mins or maybe 1 hour and after I must reboot the router again.
My router firmware is up to date but there is no more support/firmware update for the DIR-615 REV. B since 2008!
I switched to static ip and snag persist so im back in dhcp.
I cleared the router log and will post it next time it will freeze.

[Q] HTC One Wi-Fi Connection Issues - Please help!

I need major help!
I am currently on my third HTC One, after two attempts at a solution, and I am still having the same problem. Here it is: I will connect to my Wi-Fi at home, successfully browse a few pages online, press the power button to put it to sleep, press the power button again to turn it back on, then see (in the status bar) the Wi-Fi disconnect then reconnect, try to browse more pages online with no luck because the connection does not work. The only way I can consistently get Wi-Fi to work on this phone is after waking up my phone from sleep I have to turn Wi-Fi off then back on to re-establish the connection.
I've check my settings extensively and changed a few defaults in an attempt to get this to work. Here are my settings currently: "Keep Wi-fi on during sleep" - Always; "Wi-fi Frequency band" - 5 Ghz only; "Wi-Fi optimization" is checked; "Best Wi-Fi perfomance" is checked. My Wi-Fi password was entered correctly and I am currently writing this on a laptop connected to the same home network.
I am at my wit's end. I just want this beautiful phone to work properly. Are there any suggestions as to what might be causing this and how to fix this situation? Or am I doomed to an endless cycle of HTC One exchanges until I find one that works? Please help! Thanks.

very sorry to be hearing this.
just for sh**s and giggles, have you tried un-checking
"Best Wi-Fi perfomance"
Honestly, 3 HTC Ones having the same problem, and such a specific same problem... Sounds like a problem with your router.
I would try totally resetting your router. Not just unplugging it, but resetting it completely and setting it up again.
I had something similar happen to me (phone wouldn't connect to WiFi upon wake-up, I also had to turn WiFi off then back on) with my HTC Evo several years ago, I exchanged the Evo thinking that was the issue but the exchanged Evo did it too. Re-setup my whole network and have never had the problem again.

I will give that a try. I'm thinking the same way. There's no way I can go through 3 phones and have the same problem and be the only one who is having this problem. I will gladly wear my dunce cap if it works. I just want to end this Shakespearean tragedy.
And to answer andybones, yes the default is to have that selection unchecked so I had the problem even with unchecked.

OR
VZW needs to drop an OTA, QUICKer
Go to a Starbucks, friend's house or something and test it out.
The problem has to be with your router. My One has the best WiFi connection of any device in my house except when I can't run hardwire to my desktop. But that has two 3" antennas.
It's the security, if you're running WPA2 it might have problems. Try changing encryption to TKIP.
Thanks everyone for the suggestions. What solved the problem for me was that I went to the Verizon store, had the technician help out, and they Googled the problem and saw that a factory reset would solve the issue. I never saw this result when I Googled the solution, but I went along with it. This worked in the store and I was able to connect to the wi-fi hotspot in the store. When I went home the wi-fi connection worked just fine. The reason I didn't do this in the first place is because I did a factory reset on the first two phones I had and the problem persisted. For whatever reason it worked this time.

i bought htc one and it seems i also have this issue ..BUT .. i have an wifi extender and seems it attachs with it very smoothly .. so i think the problem is inside the router it self ..ill try to figure out why .
EDIT : The problem seems to be only exist on the D-Link Routers which i have "Not sure if all router or just mine" .. it gotta be frequency disturbing or something
Same problem for me. here is what ive gone through..
Just got the phone today OUT OF THE BOX
first thing i seriously tried was connecting to my linksys router with a wpa2 algy.
im on a dumb data plan and need to conserve, Anyway wifi was having a hard time connecting so i slapped the thing in airplain mode and tried to to reconnect to the router.
no dice, ok.. hmm did a factory reset twice, you name it i tried it.
taking it in the store for a replacement this week.
No need
I found out the problem is in the router it self .. you see , it connects to some old routers in condition they dont have password ... Im not sure why but i changed my router and with new one and gave it password and everything works fine now.
The problem seems to be in old routers i think.
Edit : my new router is tp-link im not sure about others

Nexus 5x wifi issues

Stock 6.0.1 mtc19v, on T-Mobile, july security update, never rooted this handset
I decided to start my own thread because I didn't want to hijack another's.
So here's the problem. Had my 5x for 3 days. And I love it, but it has weird wifi issues. I can't watch YouTube while I'm on wifi but it starts up with no issues while on LTE. Downloading apps and their updates take up to 20 minutes. While it's instant on LTE. Wifi calling is super choppy too. And my 5x occasionally disconnects too.
Everything else works fine on wifi. Chrome is quick, so is feedly.
So I searched here and on Google and many people have the same issue. Some say 6.0.1 was bugged.
Either way I tried all the advice given to others. My router and modem are up do date. I reset them various times. The problem can be replicated on my sister's wifi and my dad's.
Check my phone's APN. Changed to 2.4 and 5ghz bands on the phone. Went back to auto wifi band. Nothing.
Tried safe mode. No dice.
I even wiped. No luck either.
I also tried wiping the data and cache on a few apps, play store being one of them. Can't remember the other two.
Anything else I'm missing or is 6.0.1 really bugged?
Is there a possibility mtc19z has a fix? I haven't received that update yet.
Forgot to mention
I called Nexus tech support. They say it's not a known issue. Project fi's tech support said the same thing.

Hi man, the lollipop dhcp didn't work. Tried it with Bluetooth on and off
Last option I can think off.
settings/backup & reset/network settings reset.
After that I would try doing a clean flash with the latest stock image, no apps etc and see what happens.
If that doesn't work I would return it for a new one.

My N5X has not had any wifi issues, thankfully, but I have had weird wifi issues on other android phones in the past. What has worked for me was to go into my router's settings and use DHCP Reservation to assign a specific IP address to the phone, and to make sure there were no conflicts in the IP assignments of various devices on the network. I also replaced the router's default DNS servers with Google's.
Those two steps have solved my android-related wifi issues in the past. But, again, I haven't had any issues with the N5X so this may or may not help you.

I also replaced the router's default DNS servers with Google's.
Those two steps have solved my android-related wifi issues in the past. But, again, I haven't had any issues with the N5X so this may or may not help you.

I already tried the DNS change but I'll give the dhcp reservation a shot. Thanks.
Try ping and traceroute to confirm where in the path the problem is:

Nexus 5x wifi + Bluetooth.
So couple of years i use it without bluetooth turned on. With some wifi access points phone can't get in deep sleep. Some other access points sending packets to phone.
One day a read about bluetooth "on" options. And surprise, now phone can go deep sleep and dose not have battery drain.
Now i have to keep my bluetooth always on. Was same for android 6,7,8,8.1. with factory reseted.. different kernels dos not help.
Maybe some heard - it is hardware issue? Its go under warranty?
