I've noticed that my GPS doesn't find my location without being connected to network. I'm running CoreDroid Rom and I thought that it might be the problem. I may be wrong because this is my first device with GPS and to be honest I don't know if connection to network is mandatory. If not, is there any way to fix that so I can use location apps without connecting to the internet?
P.S. Sorry for my bad english.

Hi friends,
I have a terrible problem with my fine TouchPro2.
It constantly loses the wifi-connection. My old TouchPro1 never had these issues.
I have the actual HTC stockROM installed. Tried WiFiMonster - but again. After a few seconds it loses the connection.
Sometimes I'm able to download three, four mails, but then it breaks again :-(
Any idea?
re
To be more specific: WiFi goes off after 30 sec. or so. :-(
does wifi turn off? or simply disconnect? if it's disconnecting, first thing i'd do is reboot my router with wifi enabled on the phone and see if the connection improves. if wifi is physically turning off i'd guess it's an issue in the rom. maybe try another rom? and make sure wifi is set to "best performance" on phone.
Is this everywhere or on a specific router?
Does your connection drop after a certain activity (e.g. screen going into standby, opening a specific program, etc.)? Also, have you tried to backup your device and perform a hard reset?
Similar Problems
I've been having similar problems for about two weeks now.
I have tried several things like hard reset, soft reset, changing the rom, playing with the wireless connection and just about everything in the connection folder but no.
I my case, when I turn the wifi connection on through the comm. manager, it slows down the phone while its trying to connect and then it just goes off, leaving me with t-mo data connection. However, when I turn off data connections in comm. manager, it connects to the router and stays connected but it does nothing with the connection. Meaning, I am connected to the router, but somehow I won't be able to use the connections.
If anyone have any suggestion(s), I would greatly appreciated it.
solved...
Thx guys,
I performed a Hardreset and testet one by one the installed software... and found it: I installed a CommManager and it caused the WiFi-Problem :-(
thx

What do you mean "slows down the phone"?

If your wifi connects but you cant get out, check to make sure you don't have the proxy box checked in connection settings. I have seen this box mysteriously become checked in the past.
Just a little comment
I will be getting TP2 very soon, but speaking of WiFi problems in general..
I had 3 phone: TyTN II, Samsung Omnia & iPhone 3g. only the TyTN could connect to WiFi at home while the other two can connect but will not get any data... however, they worked flawlessly in numerous other locations...
the problem was with my linksys router
apparently some older routers not compatible with the newer devices...
just wanted to share
Ok. As of today, it seems to be working, thanks for the help. However, I think it might have been my router. I think it had something to do with overheating because I put my modem on top of it. But the funny part was, everything, with the exception of my phone, was connecting. However, the connection was never really strong or reliable.
Anywho, thanks for the suggestion, even though it didnt really help me, I appreciate the gesture.
So this is my problem: no matter what cooked rom I've had on my HD i always have the same annoying problem. I can't update My Location weather on the today screen, at home where I have a DSL connection to the web and a WIFI router. At work when i connect to the wireless network i am able to update My Location weather. does anybody know what the problem is ? Thank you.
Same problem

to be more exact:
"My Location" works as long as WiFi is on. You can use any connections that you like as long as keeping WiFi on and not connected to any network.
It works, if I'm not mistaken, along with Google Maps and thus for the very first time when you update it'll ask to allow or disallow google maps to collect datas... allow it.
i ever have any problem with it ever since more stable version of the manila/sense came out. i usually update "My Location" via USB ActiveSync with WiFi on.
Tested on XannyTech GRID and EVO series
ok. I understood what you told me, but if I connect through the wifi router at home (the router being connected to the web through a DSL connection), shouldn't my HD see that connection as a WIFI connection - at least this is how I understand it. Am I wrong?

Maybe check your router setting and security setting. I tried in my wifi connection in my school and it worked fine.

Hello!
I'm a frequent MIUI user and today just updated to the Stable version 2.3.4a (coming from 1.4.29) and now I'm experiencing problems with Wi-fi and GPS connections. The mobile is unable to connect to any network... keeps trying and obtaining IP adress but does not get connection.
Regarding the GPS, it's unable to find my location.
Do you know any solutions for this upsetting issue?
Thank you guys!
Hello everyone, I'm asking this because I can't really find anything related trough the forums. I'm using a wireless router to share my university connection, and it requires a VPN username and password for autentication. I configured the VPN on my Galaxy W, and it works fine for the first 2 minutes, and then stops receiving data, and I have to manually disconnect from the vpn, turn off wi-fi and then make the exactly opposite for it to start working again. I don't know what is wrong, because I have configured my flatmate's android devices exactly the same way and they can connect to the same wireless network for as long as they want.
I have tried CM9 and CM10 to see if it would make any difference, but the same thing happens.
If anyone using a VPN to connect to the internet could give me some advice I would really appreciate it.
Cheers.

Hi,
I am having also some problems with my WIFI connection. My wifi connection is not on the list and phone is not connecting. All other connections(from neighbours) are ok. I have had this problem in the past and i managed to solve it with a change of the WIFI name and reboot, but now i get it again. Why is this happening ?

Solved:
My router connection was on "auto channels" and i changed that on Channel 6(or any other channel you want) and solved the problem.
