Does anyone have a problem with their wifi locking up their xda iis? I have bought a linksys router and am getting frequent lockups when using wifi. I am using the shipped O2 rom, thanks
I have no problem at all with Netgear router. Try changing the connection speed setting in the router to the "b" mode only. Hopefully this can solve your problem.
No problems here either I'm afraid. I'm using a Draytek Vigor 2600VG at home and at work there are two of us with XDA IIs using a Linksys BEFDSR41W wireless router and no problems there either.
Sorry! :-(
Try a hard reset (gulp!) and see if you still have problems (Without anything else installed that might be inteferring) otherwise might be a faulty unit perhaps.

I second what xanth said, I had the problem where wifi would not turn on, so I hard reset and installed each software back individually the problem was Calligrapher 7.3 did not like being in Storage or Storage Card only in Main memory (go figure)

I use the XDA IIs on a variety of wireless networks and experience problems with an alarming regularity. The most annoying is the fact that the top bar seems to loose functionality, when using wireless!!
I will actually add that I do seem to have problem with the "range" of WiFi.
I need to do more testing, but it doesn't seem to be more than 20m or so before have communication issues/timing out :-( Will have to find out what our walls are made of!!!
I have problems connecting sometimes. I regularly use three routers, Draytek, Buffalo and Belkin. The only time that it locks up is when using skype. The skype problem is a known issue with no cure.

I am having a problem where my Siemens SX66 will loose connection to my Microsoft MN700 wireless AP on occasion. -It simply appears as if the Wifi radio shuts itself off.
Weird.....
Wifi has never worked for me. It simply doesn't work in the way nature intended.
The main problem (as far as I can tell) seems to be that it cannot get DNS or IP configuration settings from my router (Belkin 7630) automatically.
It can connect to my wireless network without any hassle, but that's about it. If I enter DNS and IP settings manually it works fine. But this is unworkable if you want to connect to another wireless network.
If I can't sort this out by next week I'm going to sell the unit on eBay. It's been nothing but a pain since I mistakenly bought it in December.
Wifi is a nightmare on this device! I'm going back to Nokia.
I am going to do a hard reset and test to see if i still get any freezes. Anyone know of any software i can use to backup my text messages?

Hi guys,
Haven't had too many issues with WiFi over here - standard O2 Asia ROM (with the BT 3500 update).
I'm running a Netgear WG602 @ home with 64bit WEP and a Dlink AP2100 @ work with WPA-PSK. No connectivity problems at either location, both DHCP. It does however take a few minutes to connect, but this is on the odd occasion.
The only frustrating thing with the WiFi is that I have to soft-reset often to turn Wi-Fi on - any ideas? Hopefully O2 will fix this in the next ROM. Other than that, I've had the Nokia 9500, P900/800 and this is by far the best device for the power user.
Just me 2c!
Cheers

Wifi is on all the time on my device, sometimes when I switch the device on while within range of an AP it does not connect. Often switching wifi off and then onn again causes it to connect. If this does not work then I can often go into the network dialogue section, and see the network marked as 'availble' but not connected (why it sometimes does not auto connect I dont know). Tapping connect usually cures. If that does not work then I too need to soft reset.
I hope like you that they fix this cause its damned anoying. I will be interested to see what the Benq P50 is like when its released. I shall get one from expansys to test and ship it back within the 7 days.

As for those having problems with specific access points. It is not nessesarily the fault of the blue angel. It seems to me that none of the manufacturers of wireless kit understand the term 'standard' they all seem to have their own take on it, which is why kit from different manufacturers refuses to talk to each other. I am of the opinion that they do it in purpose to lock you into using their client cards with their AP's !!
Try it with some non Belkin kit and see what happens.

Well i tried a hard reset and didnt install any apps and tried connecting to wifi again and still got a lockup and loss of connectivity. Im going to swap the router for another make and see what happens
Swapped my linksys router for a D-Link and so far no problems after 2 days. so looks like my problem was my router.

XDA IIi and wifi
I just bought one of these and can't get it connected. I have a netgear wg602 access point. When I finally figured out how to set the IP manually (the 02 xda tech support said it can't be done - maybe they're right ;-)
I now have it saying it's connected, with right IP address. My DNS and gateway are set up for the wireless adapter in network adapters. The signal is average. The XDA says wifi is connected. The access point even says it's authenticated and associated - same as my other stations.
Only problem is, internet explorer doesn't find any web pages - says "The page you are looking for cannot be found" (works fine through GPRS)
Also, terminal services times out trying to connect to an internal IP address (to eliminate DNS as a problem)
So, anyone know how I troubleshoot network problems - it looks like a TCP/IP issue? Can't find ping or arp etc. I've also tried an IP address that I know works on the network.
thanks for any help

Hi
For ping, ipconfig and stuff, head to http://www.cam.com/windowsce.html
I have had multiple issues trying to get wifi working reliably. It still fails now, but there are a few tricks to get it working again. Most of my wifi issues have been due to regular use of three AP's [email protected] and [email protected] along with GPRS and VPN.
To start with I suggest setting all the ****e in connections (internet and home network to 'My ISP' then goto your wifi setup, network adapters, and tell it that the wireless card connects to the internet. Now, tap ok, and goto tools, network cards, tap the active connection (it must already be connected) and ensure that its set to internet.
Next soft reset the thing, and wait for it to connect to yr wifi. Now, use the ipconfig tool and ping tool from the above site to check that all is OK. Check that its got the default gateway right and a sensible LAN IP.
I have found on occasion that I can be connected via wifi, but that the device is still trying to talk using an old IP allocated by gprs which means nothing to my lan! IPconfig will show if all is OK.
Whoever wrote the whole of the networking system (and its terrible gui's) on windows mobile wants shooting. I usually have 2 VPN profiles setup under my work network. If I leave it set to that, and use wifi from my lan to connect to the internet all is fine. However if I try and access a local server, the damned thing starts trying to connect a vpn (it aint inteligent enough to work out that the IP I asked it to connect to is local).
I have been trying to find a setting for all this networking rubbish that allows me to do *everything* without reconfiguring each time - to no avail.
Another thing to note is that you cant send/receive MMS messages while wifi is connected (more stupidity), it tries to connect to the MMS server using the wifi connection, and the telco blocks it cause it wants to charge you for sending MMS over GPRS. Only solution is to disconnect wifi, send MMS then reconnect wifi!!!

No problems with WiFi for me
Hmm I'm using an O2 Asia Rom as well.. and my wifi manager seems to automatically create "settings" for each AP it detects and I seem to have no problems connecting at all... been using WiFi around my house since the first day i got it..
i am using a Linksys Wireless 802.11b router..
btw I am new here.. finally able to register!
How's everybody doing?
Cannot turn off IEEE 802.1x
Has anyone had problems unchecking the 'IEEE 802.1x netwrok access control' checkbox???
I uncheck it, but then when I go back to the screen (click on the connection | then select 802.1x tab at the bottom) it has checked itself again!
The XDA IIs does not save the setting - it just keeps re checking itself 02 help have been no use - they sent me an instruction manual and it even says in one of the step 'uncheck IEEE check box'
Im am using a netgear wirelesss router and have also tried on a d-link
Sugestions - is anyone else having this problem??
Own a Neo for about a week now.
After some personal testing and forum surfing, it seems that Arc and Neo have the same problem with WPA2 and the N standard.
Any WPA2 & N Protocoll connection will last for a few minutes, dropping after that (the wifi icon says is still connected, but no connectivity).
Forcing the router with WPA-only or WPA2-only did not solve.
Some users report WEP beeing functional, which is not acceptable. WEP and WPA are easly cracked and obsolet....
On the web we can find many many foruns reporting the same problem.
Gingerbread does not solve the problem on Neo (2.3.3)....
Some users reporting sucess after phone exchange (hardware problem ? )...
Workarrounds:
-- disable WAP and enable WEP (not recommended due to vulnerabilities)
-- disable 802.11N protocol, enabling only G on the router
Workarrounds that DO NOT work :
-- disable WMM on the router
-- disable auto-channel and force channel 7 our 11 on the router
-- config sleep time to never on Wifi settings
-- other software solutions, usually arround lock and sleep timer
It seems the driver needs some kind of patch....
I have an Arc that works perfectly on both my N standard routers (both Netgears) using WPA2, has done since the first firmware. I have not used any special settings or workarounds.
This sounds very similar to the issue that many current Nokia's suffer from where they struggle with certain brands of router. In some of those cases updating the routers firmware has solved the problem, in others it has not.
For me I only have issues with certain routers, including mine lol.
Simple solution for me was simply to assign the arc a static IP in my router config.

At home I use a DLink-615 (latest firmware) and tried it on a hotspot and with a SMC router. Same result...
I ran out of ideias..... except for a phone refund.....
Guess it's either a new phone or new router for you?
It would be interesting to find out exactly what causes the issue in certain routers with certain phones. Similar problems like this were effecting phones as far back as the N95.
It's a known problem affecting many Neo/Play/Arc users

New Firmware FINALLY fixes the problem!!!
For me it did not solve it ... I am running the latest update and I still notice disconnects.
It's weird though, since my SSH connection to the phone doesn't drop (I can still code in Putty), but every 5-10 minutes I see some of the software detecting a reconnect and attempting to update values / reconnect themselves.
Don't know if related, but my dmesg is littered with :
....

<6>[24859.437377] TISDIO: Asking TIWLAN to suspend

hi guys after 2 weeks finally i found out a solution for my home wifi internet then my android phone now work like champ .so i hope that something im about to write here will help you:
(i have 1 modem adsl named Postef,1 Wifi Access point named Planet WRT415)
here are what i did :
1) change the IP address of Modem to :192.168.1.1
change the IP address of AP to 192.168.1.2
2) change the channel of AP to 9
At the first time my modem and AP have the same IP which is 192.168.1.1 so when i use iphone4 and laptop to browse 192.168.1.1 it logged in to the Modem but my Android phone logged in to the AP so that is the problem ,the android phone can not distinguish if you use the same IP for Modem and AP
Background
I live in the stix and my only source of internet is my 'unlimited' data plan via phone carrier which also 'allows' me to tether.
This gives me about 15meg download on 58-65 ping which is really nice especially as there is no extra charge for the data I use.
Issue
Recently I started getting random 'limited' connectivity.... which of course means no net connection and to fix I discover the 'Default gateway is not available' and the adapter needs resetting. This solves the network connection.... but a complete nightmare if I'm downloading a big file that can't be torrented and I have to start again. I've tried changing from 'Obtain IP address automatically' to manually setting the IP address,subnet mask and default gateway but this random dropout to 'limited' persists.
I installed Vistumbler to check traffic and discover I'm broadcasting on channel 6 which is populated with lots of other traffic (5 other networks near by using channel 6) and figure this may be a potential cause. (someone else disconnecting from channel 6 at shutdown maybe...?... but that's a wild guess) So only way to discover how to stop this happening is by a process of elimination.
Question:
Does anyone know which 3rd party Wi-Fi tethering app will work on Lollipop and can change the broadcast channel number of my wifi hotspot from my Z1c running CM12...?
Not sure if anyone else has experienced this.
I am using a DLink 880 router and I find that when I connect to my home 5GHz network, loading pages would periodically stutter for 10-15 seconds or longer before loading. Sometimes, loading Google takes a good 30 seconds. I have other smart phones along with computers hooked up to the same network with no issues, and the problem persists even when I turn off all other devices.
Incidentally, I can connect to the guest network from the same router and be perfectly fine. Any ideas what I can look at to fix this?
Greetings,
Recently upgraded from Galaxy S7 Edge to the Galaxy S9 (standard). The phone so far is fantastic in virtually every way. I am still running all stock (fully updated) software and I have not yet unlocked the bootloader or rooted my device. The only issue I seem to be having that may or may not be environmental is what can best be described as wifi drop outs or hanging.
While the phone doesn't appear to disconnect from the wifi network but it will occasionally hang and websites and net based apps will be unable to load content for a few seconds. Often when the hang occurs the Wifi notification Icon will show a solid white upstream arrow and a blank downstream arrow with no blinking activity during the hang. After a few seconds things seem to return to normal. I have had this occur on both my 2.4 and 5.0ghz AC networks. I have tried rebooting the router and resetting network settings on my device. The issue does not occur on any other wireless devices connected to the router (23 total). Router is a Linksys WRT32X running DD-WRT w/ OpenVPN running ExpressVPN for all except 4 clients (Rokus) that do not use the VPN but rather a split tunneled to be direct with using ExpressVPN Smart DNS for media.
Unfortunately I have been unable to test my phone on a different router to see if I can recreate the issue. This is more so to see if anyone else has heard anything about this kind of issue with the s9 or if my case is isolated and thus potentially a defective wifi unit on my SoC.
Thanks in advance for any information or advice offered.
EDIT: I also noticed that occasionally during the wifi hang/interruption the Wifi notification icon will have an exclamation (!) mark. This does not always occur but sometimes and other times it is the aforementioned upstream arrow going solid while with no activity from downstream arrow.
Turn the VPNs off and see if the connection fixes itself, then you can narrow it down somewhat
Need a direct connection to troubleshoot network problems
