Try resetting the device.
i tried resetting to factory settings but nothing changed.
Have you tried reseting the router?
Are you having any Wifi issues with other devices? [if you have others]
Is everything stock or rooted? If rooted what are you running Rom and Kernelwise?
Try taking it to a friends or open wifi (like starbux) and see if you have the same issue. If so, get another phone (again).
You could try resetting your router.
my router still works with my ps3 and ipod

I would reset your router just in case.
Your phone is stock right?
I don't think my issue is directly related, but my wifi won't auto reconnect out of the blue. Was working a few days ago, but now it just says scanning until I turn it off then back on and it will auto connect then. It's like it freezes in scanning. I wiped and retried sense and my CM6 ROMS and the issue persisted. Retried all that after flashing all new radios n wimax stuff, still no go. Now that I've done all that. My 3G data won't work. Forcing it into roam mode on vzw with 1x I don't get data either with data roaming enabled. Only data I get now is over wifi which still doesn't reconnect. F M L
Reset my router and my evo is still stuck on scanning until I am next to it

I would suggest calling Sprint and they will probably replace the phone.
Sounds like a hardware issue.
not to be the forum police but you should ask these type of questions in the Q&A section not development in the future.
I would suggest either talking to sprint to get a replacement or downloading an app like wifi analyzer to see if you are getting a strong signal and it is having issues or if it just isnt connecting etc. over all you are probably going to have to get it exchanged.

[Q] problem with wifi after flashing to ARHD

hey guys i have a problem with my wifi after flashing to ARHD 5.2.6...
sometimes i'm able to use the wifi for awhile before stuffs stop moving/loading so i'm unable to use the internet even though it shows that i'm connected... the market keeps loading and downloads doesn't move... my laptop has no problem with the wifi at home...
during some other times it seems to be problem-free... i do not think it's the wifi in my home that has problems because i was able to use the wifi at home w/o problem before flashing to ARHD...
this problem happened to me too when i used the wifi in my school... however, when i moved to another area in school, i was able to use the wifi there... the signal in both areas were great, laptops were able to use wifi in both areas without any hiccups...
please note that i had no problems with any wifi i was connected to before i flashed to ARHD...

[Q] WiFi and GPS stopped working

so i've been playing around with kernels the past couple weeks ive had the phone, and didn't really notice until a day or two ago that my wifi and gps never connect anymore.
When i turn wifi on, the icon comes to the notification bar but then never connects - going into wifi settings shows "obtaining ip address" but it never works.
thought it was a kernel issue so went back to the stock rooted kernel and a few others with no avail. today tried updating the modem and still nothing.
tried on home and office networks, all of which were working just fine a week or two ago, and now i cant connect to anything.
same for gps, i remember when i tried zedomax's very first kernel my gps stopped working but reverting back to stock worked fine.
ideas?

I too am having this issue and i cant seem to find any answers. I've flashed multiple kernels and after the EK02 I now have 0 WIFI on any connection. This is very frustrating as i use my phones wifi MUCH more than i use the 3g/4g
does ANYONE know whats going on or am i S.O.L. and have to just go back to sprint?
im having issues with wifi as well it turns on for about 20 seconds then turns itself off,this started happening post update,I hate this no more WIFI DIRECT!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Or even connecting to home wifi its stock-rooted,all I did was re-root after the update was sent to my phone

Network loss

Ok guys, having a real problem here. Often when I am connected to either 3g or wifi my phone will stop picking up signal suddenly. AIt's almost every time and I will have to disconnect from the network manually and reconnect and it will instantly pick up signal again for a while then it'll repeat. When it suddenly stops it doesn't show on the status bar that I have lost any signal. With 3g its kinda just at a stand still not receiving or uploading and with wifi it just stays the same but I'm still not picking up a signal because by web pages won't load neither will other apps that require network load until I manully disconnect and reconnect. Is anyone else having a problem like this? I don't think it was like this when I firs got my phone a month ago. I'm at a loss. Any help is much appreciated. Oh I'm completely stock btw haven't rooted........(yet) lol

It has happened to me a couple times that I have noticed. I will be streaming music and walking and all of a sudden, nothing.
Even a soft reboot does not help. It will require a full reboot generally to solve the issue. I have not been able to identify the issue specifically. I suspect it might be related to LTE testing in my area.
What's the LTE status in your area?
No lte yet but as I stated earlier it happens on wifi too. It'll still show that the signal is connected but my pages want load at all after it happens and when I try to refresh it'll say that the webpage could not load because there is no network. Only until I manually shut off 3g or wifi in the settings and turn it back on will it pick up signal again but only for about 5 minutes. This has happened in various locations on 3g and wifi and will even happen at home wifi.

This has happened to me as well... A lot . Stock.. on various roms.. No lte as well.. But it's in the works
-TeaM VeNuM Like A Boss
-Galaxy Note II Edition
I've had this problem too. Sprint replaced my phone and it never happened again.
I think reactivating hands free actually fixed my problem...for now anyway. It's not losing network like it was before. All I did was enter on the phone dial pad ##72786# that'll reactivate. Hope this helps

Question Wifi issues

Anyone having issues with not finding their home wifi? I'm in my house and all of a sudden the wifi will disappear and can't find it either. The only solution is to restart the phone over and over again.
Hi, yes same problem. You can fix it by going into airplane mode for 2 minutes.... but still this is a very annoying problem and the nubia support recommends to wipe the phone..... did that and same issue.... dunno what to do.
Did you find a fix in the meantime?
Hmm never had that issue with mine, did you go to the wifi settings and turn on 5g? Not sure if that is the reason it never happens to me or not. I can connect to my 5g Asus router which is on the 1st floor, and get 80 Mbps up and down on the 3rd floor. Wifi calling and text work fine to atleast with t mobile, maybe try turning that on? Hmm let's see what other settings I changed, can't think of anything else. My phone is updated to the latest update.
I also contacted nubia. I have no choice but to send the phone back which sucks because it's great for gaming.

The thing is, the wifi works as long as your at home. When you leave the range of that WIFI and come back to it, it simply wont show ANY WIFI... it seems as the WIFI- Service stopped working..... only airplane mode does work.
try and reset the network setting. I read somewhere that it's to do with the saved wifi's. I didn realized but I had 20 wifi's saved that have been transfered from my previous phone. I haven't had an issues since.
