Android on touch pro 2 WIfi not working

I have an unsecured network and wifi still isnt working i even tried the builds i used beforeand wifi stil isnt working? I tried Eclair 2.1 froyo still wont work. it scans and says unable to scasn and turns the wifi off by itself. it worked on my other touch pro 2! any ideas?

same ****
got the same problem i had it on the 2.1 builds and on the froyo builds but seems when somebody mention it nobody takes it seriously...just have to wait till the next build...!

You need to update zimage to the latest and as long as WiFi is not WEP encrypted, it should work.

That is really odd. Wifi works perfect for me in froyo with a secured network. Try the new 2.2 froyo build in the first sticky.

Where I live I run wpa2 but there's wep, wpa and unsecured networks available. I get the same problem with the various flavours even after uninstalling, deleting all content and reinstalling.
Bit of a wind up to read that it's a problem with wep.

I would have to say this is one of the worst issues I have found yet with android. Others who have the same phone don't have this issue. but I do. WiFi just doesn't work on my device. I have all the latest releases. Hell, I have been able to use every feature meant for rhodium but WiFi. It is a persistant issue with my device.
I even tried repartitioning my sdcard to see if that helps. but no luck. The last release I was able to use Wifi with was the first release of the sense ui 2.1
When I mention this on IRC, I am pretty much ignored, People think it is because I don't know what I am doing. I beg to differ. I have been able to offer valid advice and solutions for most of the questions i come across.
My device is a T-MO TP2, with a 4gb sdcard. and colored send and end buttons.
Help Please.

Last time I checked Rhobuntu wifi worked ok

I'm having the same issue as well..
It will scan and see my network(secured with WEP) and let me enter my login info but after that it just scans and dosen't connect.
If I have to turn my WEP off I want worry about Android cause theres too many people around here that like to piggy back and I'm not paying for them to use mt internet as well.
I'm using the [MUG] Rhod.2.2.BLAZN.072110 if that helps.

I had another touchpro2 that got lost but wifi worked perfectly! WHEN I TRY TO UPGRADE ROOTFS AND ZIMAGE ANDROID STOPS WORKING!!!It boots goes to the lock screen and vibrates and restarts into windows mobile!

Possible fixes for issue include's deleting your data.img located in your andboot folder of the Sdcard and deleting your cache folder usually located (If I'm not mistaken) on the root of the SDcard.
If the above method does not work then you may want to try a fresh install by deleting all android related files or reformatting your SDCard but I'm sure this will do the trick. I've had that issue before.

You don't really have to. If your Router supports it then switch the encryption type to WPA instead of WEP. WPA encryption has been reported to somehow work with this build.

Edit..changexd the wifi from wep to wpa/psk and all is good.just wanna fix the sound,keyboard backlight and the keyboard buttons.
Other then that I love it.

SO drop from WEP to WPA?? I'll try that and post back..Thanks mna.
I really like Android but I HAVE to have WiFi..Theres really no way around that and since I couldn't get it to work...I kept using WinMo.
Should I delete my SD card and put everything back on??

Unfortuantly you tricks didnt work (all of them ) thanks for the help. DOES ANYBODY ELSE KNOW WHATS GOING ONNNNN! EVOLOPERS PLEASE FIXX It!!!

My wifi-button is grey. It is not possible, to start wifi.
How can i fix this? In an older android-version (with sense) it was running.
Is there an example for wifi in the startup.txt. I can read english only very slow and i did not find it in the 756 sites of the froyo-thread.

okay so with a format of the sd card and the installation of the latest releases of android from the sticky and the newest kernals etc.. no go... has anyone who has had issues found a way to get wifi working on their phone?
I too think the last time my phone worked was months and months ago. I would only really play with android every once and a while so I really dont remember.

Uh... Ok? You HAVE to have wifi. We get it. I've also heard WEP doesn't work, besides it's not even secure... you're not really dropping from WEP to WPA, you're upgrading from WEP to WPA buddy

Wow... Please don't scream at the devs to fix something that already works. It's probably something you're doing...
I would definitely try updating to the newest everything. You say it reboots into WinMo every time - try different combinations of files. I pretty much always run 'bleeding edge' tho, and it's always worked out for me... Perhaps you're not replacing all the files correctly...?
Also... I did see one post from a dev that's going to be discouraging... They said that "some" of the TMobile TP2's just don't work with wifi. I don't think they know why, because if wifi works for the devices devs have, then it's very hard to troubleshoot your problem. It also seems to be effecting a small slice of TMobile TP2's, if that's any consolation. Ditch the teenage wireless company

Can't enable wifi at all? That's... odd, for sure. Especially since it's not _all_ the TMO TP2's, or _all_ the Tilt2's....

I wonder if it's a radio thing... It's just odd that only some are effected. Has there been any correlation in radio versions or anything like that with phones that aren't working...?

I think my phone is broken. In WM I have after every reboot a new wifi-mac. With wifi on in WM my phone is very slow. I did task 29, tried different ROMs and Radio-ROMs.
Without wifi I have no problems with the phone.

[Q] Wireless tether borked?

Hey all, so I recently switched from a 1.47-based back snack to the newest froyo-based baked-snack and/or fresh and since then my wireless tether has gone the way of the dodo. Wireless tether seems to be launching and broadcasting but is not allowing connections from PC/MAC laptops (tried both). I've additionally tried the most recent FRESH ROM as well as the stock netarchy build and in all cases I can't get any connections from other computers (I don't even get the request or notification of an attempt to connect in wireless tether) As far as I can tell I don't have a MAC address issue of any sort.
Any ideas?
Wifi and 3G seem to be functioning fully, as well as everything else I've tested.

I have tether working on calkulin evio rom. Test different versions,v visit the developers page. Pre 2 seems to be working best imo.

Haven't heard of this issue. You said you're running the netchary kernel on fresh right? What version of wireless tether are you running?

Thanks gmaine. I've tried both the Pre 2 that came with the backed snack rom and whatever version came with Fresh, and both had the same problem. Uninstalling and reinstalling whatever the current version is in the marketplace as well didn't work. It feels more and more like a hardware issue, though nothing else is funky at the moment.

Am currently running the netarchy update froyo kernel and have tried new and old version of wireless tether.

Try uninstalling the current tether app and using this one.

I'm running fresh 3.1.0.1 and using pre 7 of wireless tether and having no problems. Try uninstalling what you have now and install pre 7 from here http://code.google.com/p/android-wifi-tether/downloads/list?can=2&q=Evo

am installing, etc, now.

The you should probably post in that specific ROM's thread.
for the netarchy kernel many are using Pre6. Some ROM's require the new Pre7.
Pre7 works on the Stock netarchy build for me and is mentioned several times in that thread.

Totally agree with you on that one, but didn't get my answer after a few days and tens of pages of posts later.--So of course, that was the first route I went. (Everyone seemed to busy arguing about PRI downgrades, but I digress.)
Anyways, the .apk that was just linked works, although I'm really not seeing the difference between it and the marketplace wireless tether and reinstallation. Either way, things are working now, thanks for those of you with constuctive advice!

[Q] Wireless issue with a few roms

first of all thank you for viewing,
i have a problem with any rom running CM or gingerbread when trying to join a wireless connection that has a hidden SSID at WPA2 security.
i have no problems connecting to any other wireless connection as long as they are not configure as mention above.
now i would claim that there is a problem with the wireless configuration and the phone trying to handshake with it but this is not the issues with most roms.
because it works fine with most roms but does not with a few other roms i am sure that this is not hardware related.
here is a few troubleshooting steps i have gone through in order to see what is the source of the problem.
1st) i have loaded and tested every radio for the Inc (including the EVO radio) but the problems persist.
2nd) i have loaded and tested a variations of kernels to see if this is a cause of the problem and no luck (i tend to leave the Dev's choice in kernel alone in most cases)
any advise will be grateful please as i am at a lost and with search for people in my same place i have not found any yet.
please someone help i love playing with the Roms but this is starting to kill my experience as being able to connect to hidden and secure wifi is a must for me.
thank you.

silverramsrt,
thank you for the search and post, so what i gather from the 2 other instances of the same problem there is no fix for this as of now other than to broadcast you SSID.
i just cant imagine why would the developer version of Gingerbread does not have this working and i hope some one finds a fix for it or that a fixed version is added to the full release.
i know, i know high hopes.
thank you

You're welcome. It won't be long before one of the incredible devs tackle this. (pun intended)

[11.Oct.11][CWM] CM7 VPN Fix v1.0

Hi All,
This is the solution to the thread CM7 with working VPN
With lots of source code sifting and debug monitoring and finding most of the problem within a specific file namely "system/bin/mtpd".
I have compiled a CWR zip file for people to flash with this file inside.
This will replace the broken file and replace it with my file. After flashing the VPN PPTP will connect and work but does have some disconnecting problems sometimes. Still trying to find out why. But at least now it will connect and work until it disconnects.
I wonder if I could get some help from more devs to sort out the stability of the connection sorted out.
Some files that need to be check
mtpd - Needed to be exchanged for Typhoon and Hyperdroid
ip-up-vpn - Needed for Hyperdroid
pppd
racoon
VpnServices.apk
Would really appriciate some logcats so that we can pinpoint where the connection is being lost.
Confirmed working: Typhoon roms. v1.0 & v 1.4
Hyperdroid from v1.4
Not working: You tell me
Other Issues: You must at least set up one VPN connection with the default android settings menu for it to export the libraries, if you are using 1VPN.
Regards,
Arne.

thanks a lot
thanks

Pleasure !!!!

thx, maestro

Really nice

arne, it's ok for you when we include it in our roms? (hyperdroid and clk cm7 tweaked)

I have check this with, TyphooN CyanogenMod 7 Nightly v3.0.4 to v3.6.9, all of them will now work with VPN PPTP.
It should work perfectly with Hyperdroid's CM7 aswell, but at the moment it doesn't. Still having to check the dependancy of the pppd file.
I don't mind if this gets included into the ROMS. But wait until I have sorted out all the bugs and it is working on all the roms.

v1.4
After some hard work the v1.4 is out and this will work on Hyperdroid and Typhoon CM7 roms. Still the VPN disconnects randomly but at least you can get it to connect.
I use 1VPN as it allows me to set an auto re connect but this is not a good solution.

Really nice. Hope you can fix the disconnects.

To repair the disconnected I need to get a few log cats together. I susspect it is a program specific command that is causing the VPN to disconnect. Pinpointing the program and command can help me repair this.

does this supports group authentication (similar to cisco client)? can it be flashed with MIUI-XJ ROM?

I have tested and can report that the connection is stable as long as its being used constantly. I have successfully streamed a couple hours of video from netflix with no interruption or disconnects, but with normal browsing the connection disconnects after a while.

Hi,
I'm currently on an AOSP ROM (tytung's NexusHD2 v3.2a). I know the thread-title says CM7, but I hope maybe I could get some help anyhow
VPN is extremely important to me, I need it for support issues at work, and since support situations rarely come with a predetermed planning, access to VPN over mobile data is an absolute must for me...
Sadly for me VPN works just fine over WiFi but doesn't over mobile data, I'd rather the opposite Mostly when a WiFi is around me, a PC I could use is not far, so that wouldn't be that much of a problem. When a support issue happens at work during non business hours I'm likely neither around a WiFi nor a PC, so that's where VPN over mobile data would really come in handy
I tested loads of ROMs, AOSP and CM7 (including Hyperdroid, Dorimanx's 2.9.9, Amerciandoid...), but all have the same behaviour for me.
So to me this seems to be a general issue.
Here are the symptoms I'm experiencing :
VPN will connect fine, a ping will go through, but after a certain volume of data goes through the tunnel (really not much, less than an initial VNC frame, so after just a second or so), it will brake, no data going through but stay connected as far as the notification of VPN shows.
And it's a question of data volume (traffic) not time, I left it pinging for over an hour, and it was still pinging, but ICMP packets are really tiny. After that I tried accessing a Windows share on the other end of the tunnel through filemanager, it showed the 1st level of folders, I could drill to one folder deeper and than it broke off again
Is this something you've experienced as well ... ?
I tried Dorimanx's v2.7 kernel on NexusHD2 ROM installing VPN patch (I suppose it is the 1.4 patch in the first post that is installed since Dorimanx gives credits to Arne182), didn't help either.
I wasn't really expecting this to help, since his ROM 2.9.9 also has the fix, and it behaved just the same...
I'd be thankfull for any clue pointing me in the right direction !
JP.

This thread has not been updated for a while so I am unsure if the problem has been resolved for good or not.
Anyway, although I don't know if the stability is related, but there used to be an Android-bug which caused disconnections. You could avoid it by disabling password-encryption.
see this post of mine:

Tested with l2tp and I can report that l2tp is way more stable than pptp! Been connected for hours, with periodically Internet use.

Thanks for testing, I still have not found the time to get into the code, but at least I know that the l2tp is more stable.
With 1vpn you can set up a ping rate so that the connection does not time out, but timing out connections doesn't even come close to why it is disconnecting.

Wireless hotspot will not work

Hi Guys,
I'm all shiny and new to this forum, so let me introduce myself real quick. My name is Saragn, I'm a security engineer from South Africa and I recently decided to start modding my HTC One M8. I produce music professionally in my spare time and have released music internationally under three different genres on various labels. I love tech and love playing with anything that is powered and has lights ha ha ha...
So, on Friday I installed the following ROM from Skydragon: "SkyDragon M8 v 3.1 WWE Sense 7.zip". It works REALLY WELL, I love how it has opened up the phone for modding. The only gripe I have is the wireless hotspot function does not work anymore. If I try enable it, it simply flicks between on and off repetitively. It is as if it cannot switch on. To stop it from doing that I have to enable the wireless, it then stops and the wireless enables. If I try switch on the hotspot again it does the same thing. I've re installed the ROM twice now and each time it does the same thing.
Firstly, apologies if this is the wrong part of the forum to start this thread, if so, please could one of you be so kind as to point me in the right direction? Thank you.
If it is the right place to post this question then some guidance would be highly appreciated. What can I do to get the wireless hotspot feature to work again? Thanks!!
Ciao for now,
Saragn

Try updating the ROM. Skydragon Sense 7 is now on version 4.1
Changelog for version 4.0 says "Fixed Wifi-HotSpot - may not work, will provide fix zip asap"
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=59633002&postcount=3
So apparently this is a known issue. But some folks report that WiFi hotspot (tethering) is working. Seems to be working for me on version 4.1, but I haven't testing it extensively.

Hi there...Okay so another update for you. The wireless hotspot switches on now, so I thought it would be okay. It isn't. Even though it switches on and accepts connections, what ever end point I connect to the hotspot cannot browse the Internet and while the hotspot is on the phone itself cannot connect to anything so it seems that enabling the hotspot disconnects the phone from the Internet. I am not sure if you guys have picked this up yet on 4.1 ?
