Anyone else had this problem:
If I connect my BT HTC S620 to the USB of my PC it powers the Wifi fine no loss of connection.
If I unplug it my Wifi keeps the dropping off every minute and reconnecting like its having a fit. So it cant be my routers fault as i first thought.
Is there any way to powerup the Wifi. I will try it on a full battery
and plugged into the mains. Its a new phone so not tested that yet.
My phone doesnt have the "Full performance" power options for Wifi far as I know.
If you have a Linksys make sure you change the Wifi Channel to 4 not 6
the default. I got that tip from another forum and it improves things.
People should be told about Linksys being wrongly configured by default
for HTC Excalibur phones which dont properly support channel 6.
Although it still cuts out occasionally, the battery is about half full
I must try it with a full charge.
its been driving me insane, and almost ruined what i thought was
the perfect phone for me.
This is the first I have heard of this. I will have to give it a try and report back when I get the chance.
I could be wrong about the USB after testing further sometimes it disconnected when on USB too. Im 100% sure the Linksys wifi channel change solved the problem mostly, seems stable now.
When I first got the phone a few days ago it literally disconnected from the net every minute and wifi was channel 6, making it useless for the internet and especially messaging.
If anyone has noticed Wifi connection being poorer when the battery is low let me know. I still dont know if thats the case.
It runs fine now it seems hmmmm.
So I have done the official 2.2 upgrade but now my wifi isn't working. I have gone into software updates and updated the profile, prl, and checked for new software and firmware.
Wifi keeps saying "obtaining ip address". It's my home wifi and before the update it was working flawlessly.
Appreciate the help.
Do I have this posted in the wrong section, or has this question been answered? I've searched high and low.
Try reflashing newest radio and wimax. Flash one at a time. This has happen to me before with wifi and 4g but on 1. 47. If that does not work flash calklins v1. 02 rom. I am using that on wifi typing thos response. Good luck

from the sound of it he flashed the official OTA so probably isnt rooted.
Have you tried it with any other routers to see if it connects?
try unplugging yor router and re plugging it back in to reset it and try connecting if that doesnt work sounds like your radio is messed up and you may have to take ti to a sprint store so they can reflash it if you arent rooted.

I am using the router for my laptop right now so I dont think the router is the problem.
I had the unofficial .3 update which is when my wifi stopped working, then I upgraded with the fix to .6 last night, still no wifi. I am not root, just bone stock .6 froyo...
Take it to sprint service center. Or delete the wifi settings in the phone and reconnect.

The reason i suggest resetting the router is because they often store information about a MAC address, When the information changes sometimes routers have connection issues. you dont see it a lot and since most of the time the information doesnt change (you dont update much on your pcs that would cause this). When it does change (ie a radio from a phone) it can sometimes cause issues. that's why i suggested you restart the router. I have had it happen several times when changing radios on my phones over the years.
Just because 1 thing connects to a router does not mean it cant contribute to another thing not connecting to it. I also wouldnt bet my life that it would fix it or anything.i was just giving a suggestion that HAS worked for me in the past when similar issues happened.IT was a good place to start. It would also help verify the problem is in deed with the phone from an actual tech point stand instead of an assumption.
anyway best of luck with getting this fixed

Gave it a shot, but still no luck. Keeps on trying to obtain IP address. Won't connect at my friends house anymore either.

it is definatly the phone then. It sounds like thw Wimax radio didnt flash right. With out Root i think your best bet is to drop by a sprint store they should be able to reflash it for you.
@chris17house
I have the same issue on my EVO that is still on 1.47.
The first time I connected my router gives my phone a lease for a ip address (lets say 192.168.0.010) and associates it with the mac address of my phone.
When I try to reconnect at a later time, the lease for my phone on the router has not expired, but the router gives my phone a new ip address (let say 192.168.0.020), which causes a conflict with the same mac address, but two different ip address. Once I reset my router and my phone the problem is fixed, because the router releases the lease and my phone does a dns flush.
Do you think flashing the wimax or radio instead of reflashing the entire rom would be worth a try? And if so, where is that file located please.
Ok, so wifi connects everywhere except my home. I have unplugged the router and modem for an hour and reconnected them. I still am unable to connect to my home wifi. Is there something more i need to be doing?
I was having the same problem with work and home, but all I did was forget both locatations and discover them again.

Thats not the problem.
FIXED:
Apparently the router had a reset button which I just dicovered hidden between the vent gaps, which has a different function than just pulling out the power cord for a minute or so. Now WiFi is working on my phone.
My phone won't connect to a WPA/WPA2 PSK WiFi network. It previously was able to connect (for 2 weeks), but since 6 weeks, it loops: scanning, connecting, disconnected. I have flashed many ROM versions and wiped all phone memory since (mainly for other purposes than this problem), but it still won't connect.
I have tried resetting the router several times without result. I can't access any more settings, because I live with other students in a house where the house-keeper also lives.
The WiFi at my university (802.1x EAP) and the WiFi at my parents house (also WPA/WPA2 PSK) always works properly.
I have searched through the internet and through XDA-forums, but none of the proposed solutions works, can be done on my phone or I am not able to try them because I can't access the router settings.
How about different kernels?

I have the same problem. After unlocking bootloader/rooting my Arc it doesnt connect with my router anymore. My other "still locked/unrooted" Arc has no problem connecting to the router...
edit: seems my BT is having problems aswell.. couldnt connect/find any other devices

I'm running stock 2.3.4 with stock kernel. DoomKernel still has problems isn't it? I'll have to live with it till that's fixed. Already tried reverse tethering, maybe that will work.
It's not such a big problem, as I have my laptop near me there, but installing apps is quite a hassle this way (search for .apk, install apk with flashtool or move apk to sd and install).
I don't have a data plan, it's €10/month for 200mb, pointless for me, because there's WiFi at home, at my university and in the train.

So why did it work before? Does resetting the route solve the problem, I could just try it again...?

When you restoring your phone and after that making setup, then dont log into your google account. Install freshly new rom and directly try connect wifi. If i remember right i had to thiskind problem. And after i realized that problem was "google settings and thatkind stuff backup restore". I just uncheck this option and after that i was abel connect my home wifi. Before that i cant. give a try

Also didn't work, tried that the last time I reflashed.
Anyway, fixed it just a few minutes ago: apparently the router had a reset button, which has a different function than just pulling out the power cord for a minute or so. Now WiFi is working on my phone.
it was to easy. Case closed!

I am using recently acquired Xperia Pro. I get very weak wifi signals in my room so i bought a Thomson Wifi Repeater/Access point to extend the wifi signal to my room. My phone is now unable to connect to the wifi and keeps scanning, connecting and disconnecting. It eventually ends up with a Limited Connectivity noticfication meaning i am unable to connect to internet although get full wifi signal strength. I tried changing some IP configurations but it hasn't helped. Interestingly my Notebook PC is able to connect and maintain somewhat stable connectivity, although at times it too gets disconnected from the internet. I tried connecting to the Wifi using an iPhone and it too had the same issues i.e able to detect the wifi signal but unable to connect to internet.
I am still trying to find the solution to the problem and will update if i find a way out.

I suggest that you update both your phone software and the router firmware to latest possible version.
Let me know how it goes.
same problem
I have the same problem on my arc s after i downgraded the official ICS to gengerbread using flashtool i even tried to upgrade back the ICS but the problem hasn't been fixed
Fixed
Try to find setting on your router like "max number of peers" or something like that and change the value to maximum it can, maybe it will tell the maximum number. After that reconnect your phone wifi, and bless me:angel:
Had same wifi diconnect loop problem - solved
I had the same WiFi loop - connect/disconnect issue. Extremely disturbing.
It appeared out of nowhere.
Rebooted the phone and the router several times - no help.
Used WiFi analizer to check for interferring chanels - nothing special.
Changed the WiFi chanel anyhow - no help.
Reinstalled/uninstalled AT&T smart WiFi - no help
Removed my WIFi network ('forget' button) and found it again, including the password - no help.
I have the WiFi manager installed, but I sort of forgot to check it doing everything through settings.
Only then I found that my WiFi Manager is stuck on the update announcement screen.
Okayed it - problem solved.
Funny thing, I don't remember updating the WiFi manager lately.
Feel so stupid wasting 2 hours.
I have have Samsung GT-I9082 (Grand Dous) My wifi can not be turned on ...i tried every thing from factory reset to updating firmware to jellybeen 4.2.2 but still have the same problem, I am sure it is software problems because few weeks ago the same problem was resolved by the service warker he told me that i had wifi IP problem and he had to do more than simple firmware installation ....I wonder if anybody can help me

it might be a problem with your router and i think that you should check if by default you have not disabled wlan and if it not that then try to reset your router it will definitely work
good luck
Yaa router might be a problem
Check out wid sum oder wifi connection

thank you for replying...
what do you mean by router...my wifi is not turning on...do you mean something in the phone software that I do not understand..if so tell me how to reach it please ....if you mean my internet router then I am using several routers ...and obviously it does not matter since my wifi is still off

I think is hardware related since your WiFi was unable to turn on... Like previous S2. After they updated to ICS ROM, a battery leak which causes their WiFi to malfunction. And by the way. did you dropped your phone before?
See this blog:
http://www.stampede-design.com/blog/2012/07/samsung-galaxy-s2-wifi-issue/#.UoAu5XCD91Y
yes I did drop my phone previously but the malfunction does not follow that ...in both times.....previously and now the malfunction followed my discovery and usage of long touch on the WiFi icon in the sliding menu to reach the WiFi setting and choose network....any way the problem have been resolved previously by "more than firmware installation" as the service center worker told me ......I still do not understand what type of software that remain unchanged after complete firmware installation with re-partitioning.
Hello I'm new here, well my friend suggest this place to get help for my phone. So the problem is, when i turn on my wifi using my SMT705 it connect then after awhile after playing COC , Brave Frontier the wifi seems like to disconnect on its own. Does this problem have a solution. I've been googling about Wifi problems, some said dial *#0011# then click Menu click Wifi then, ON button will appear after that press it to turn OFF. Well i've been doing the same thing over and over again, its not working. My Phone Wifi problem is still the same. Is it my phone or my WIFI HOTSPOT ( using ST15i Mini as WIFI HOSTPOT ) Old phone. So if there is a solution to my probelm, please reply to this thread and show the solution to my problem. It's hard to play Clash Of Clans, always disconnected xD
One more thing, my laptop doesn't have the same problem . Not useful anyway. Haha
I sometimes get that - wifi drops whilst playing CoC. Is your tab getting hot at this point? I think sustained heat is bad (for any device). I havent found a cure - but wifi comes back after 10-30s.
If it was me i would try someone elses wifi just to see what happens....or if not possible get a usb wifi adapter into your laptop, make a bridge between your internal wifi and usb wifi, then create a wifi network with your laptop and connect your phone to it...but it would be easier and tell a lot more to try another persons wifi....overheating does cause unstable wifi connections...happens to a laptop when the wifi chip becomes faulty and overheats.
I want to see how

You're using mobile data through a wifi hot spot on an old device to play games ?
I pretty much think you've answered your own question there.
