[Q] Having WIFI issue with ICS ROMS - Samsung Epic 4G Touch

Samsung Epic 4G Touch
On any ICS Rom I have tried (CM9 A3, Venom, Leaks), I am having problems with my WIFI at work (Cisco Router) dropping connection every few minutes and it goes back to 3g then reconnects to WIFI. It only happens at work. At work we are running WPA2 PSK with no SSID being broadcast (it was entered manually initially when I connect to it). When I am at home I have no problems at all and the only difference I see is the connection type is WPA/WPA2 PSK and at home the SSID is broadcasted (Netgear router).
I have tried all ICS modems, no help.
I am running CMP alpha 3 at this time. I have no issues at all on GB roms. I have my HTC EVO View Tab with me I connect to WIFI at work and it never drops off.
Anyone know what may be the cause?
Other than WIFI dropping in and out at work I must say CM 9 A3 has been flawless!

Correction to last post. I am running CM9 Alpha 3.

Well, since you're connecting to it I'd say you're in better shape than I was...
Have you tried changing the keep alive settings on the wi-fi to 'Never sleeps'?

Wifi Woes after upgrading

I've upgraded my TyTn to WM6 using the new repackaged rom from Mrvanx, however I have a weird problem with the wifi.
It cannot see my router whereas before I upgraded there was always a strong signal.
I have set up the WPA encryption key etc. and also set the router up without encryption but it just shows unavailable in the list.
A neighbours network which is also WPA is found OK and it connects and asks for a key.
My laptop is connecting OK to the router so I assume all is OK with the router.
No mac filtering or anything like that installed in the router.
Noticed unlike old wm 5 the wifi Icon only stays active for about 20 secs even though in comms manager the WIFI icon shows it switched on?
Anyone got an idea what might be the problem. I do like the ROM but I do need my wifi on trips and I need to travel soon again so hoping I can fix this.

ROM 3.54,707.3 repackaged
Radio 1.03.03.10
WIfi Woes - part success - update
OK I found the answer but created another question ;-)
For security I turn off the SSID broadcast on my router. I turned it on and the TyTn immediately connected.
I always had a good connection on my original WM 5 ROM without SSID, but it appears the new one will not even see the network without SSID broadcasts.
Are there any other settings in the device to allow it to work without SSID because I am thinking that maybe some free WIFI accespoints have it turned off too?

[Q] HTC EVO 4G WiFi locks up since FreshEvo 4.1.1.0

I have an HTC EVO 4G running FreshEvo 4.1.1.0
The WiFi was working fine without a hitch until recently. It seems that since I upgraded to FreshEvo 4.1.1.0 and updated the radios with the patch, that this is when the problem started.
Now, the WiFi connection "locks up" intermittently and I have to reboot my TrendNet TEW-633GR router so that the phone will connect to it again at least for awhile.
The symptoms are: The WiFi connection with my home router will be fine for awhile. Then, it will not work.
I still get an IP address from the router and the WiFi settings says it's connected. But the connection doesn't work until I reboot the router. But the router isn't really the problem because other phones and my laptop can connect to the router even if the HTC cannot.
To the best as I can tell, the WiFi connection on the HTC locks up when:
A) I run the Roku Remote Control app and something unexpected happens like the app does a force close. The Roku Remote app uses Telnet, I believe.
B) I'm connected by WiFi at home, then leave and the phone switches to 3G. When I come back home, the WiFi between my phone and my router is locked up. However, if I connect to WiFi at another location, it works fine at the other location. Also, I can still connect to my home router with WiFi from my laptop or another phone.
Does anyone have this problem too, or a solution?
Thanks

I would have a go at flashing an alternative radio ROM onto the EVO first. This should be pretty simple if you've already changed ROMs and have a custom recovery.

[NEO] Strange wifi problem. Connects but no internet.

Hello. I have xperia neo for 1 week. It is great phone and great upgrade from my X8 but i see a strange wifi problem. My firmware is latest version - 4.0.A.2.368.
At my home phone connects fine to my wireless network and everything is stable. I do not see any disconnects, reboots or other problems. My router is linksys wrt320N and i connect at wireless N speed - 72Mbps.
When i try to connect to the wireless N network at my office the phone connects fine but i do not have internet access. I have IP assigned by the router, network is shown as connected but i do not have connectivity. I tried with 3 different browsers and with the market and nothing connects. At the same time i can connect with my laptop to the same network and i have internet. My colleagues with other phones also connect and have internet.
I tried setting static IP address on the phone but this did not help. I read that if i set static IP in router's settings assigned to the mac address of the phone this will help. Unfortunately i can not test this because i do not have access to router's settings. Also at my home i did not make such settings and everything is working fine.
Previously i have seen this problem with my X8 and the same work wifi network but it was not always present. It was present with some custom firmwares and not with others.
If you have any ideas or have seen this problem please help.
Having the same device from Globul I never had such problems for the 2 weeks I'm using it. I had some disconnects but i put the blame on my router.
if you can try changing the wifi channels
I think I've found the issue (by facing by myself)
The version neo is shippe (2.3.2) has a serious bug on AES encription.
Actually only the upgrade to 2.3.3 (no clue about upcoming 2.3.4) can fix the WPA/AES issue.
So the actual solutions are:
or change your wifi securty to WEP, updathe the phone via OTA
or use the Windows Software and update to 2.3.3.
Please note that if you use the Control Power widget it has been removed in 2.3.3
This was my problem when I had just bought my Arc.My phone couldn't surf the internet with my personal wifi network although I tried to use many browsers and also Android market. Then I reset and reinstalled my router, everything works well ^^
Ask your office IT staff to do a simple power cycle on the router and try connecting again. That may solve the problem.

[Q] Several wifi issues with this phone

My phone's wifi capabilities have been working fine until about 2 months ago when it stopped connecting to some of the wifi networks such as my campus wifi.
I have 2 routers at home. One being the Linksys E3000 that's broadcasting two SSID's. The Epic Touch sees them on the list but can't connect to neither of them. It can however connect to my Dlink router and all of the older ones I have at home.
While connected to the Dlink, it can't communicate with other devices on the same network via apps such as remote or Airsync. When tried pinging the phone's ip on a computer, it returned with timeouts. Samsung Kies has stopped working as well.
Does anyone have a solution to my problems? Is there a setting on the phone that I am overlooking?
Bump.
Sent from my Samsung Epic 4G Touch
flash EL29 stock, run for a few days, see if its software related? See if theres some router settings that it doesnt like??
Actually I am already on EL29.
Problem solved
what wifi issues are on the epic touch 4g?

CM10.1 Stable, IP address STUCK. Not releasing and renewing.

I was running totally stock on my Nexus until a few days ago. Decided to go back to CM again now that 10.1 stable is out. No problem at first but since yesterday my IP address is getting STUCK. At home i have the usual 192.168.1.xxx subnet address, but at work I have a 192.168.0.xxx range. All of sudden my phone is now stuck on my home IP address and it is not releasing properly and getting assigned it's proper address at work. The usual DHCP in both places. When I get to to my work network I see the usual messages, authenticating, obtaining IP address shows, then it says CONNECTED just like usual. Except it still has my home IP and thus, no network access when I'm at work. I had no issue prior to installing CM 10.1
Anything I should try? (beyond multiple reboots, and turning wifi on and off, which I've done of course). Any caches I should try clearing?
Update. Even though rebooting and turning wifi on/off didn't fix it, I connected to a different nearby network, then tried reconnecting to my work network. It then DID clear and update the IP to a proper one handed out by DHCP. It's strange. Perhaps it's a DHCP issue. Another guy on my network had the same thing happen with his phone. Anyway...I will keep poking around.
Have a Wifi issue to: can't connect to my Network(s)
To install le CM10.1 Stable, I do a complete factory reset, delete all Datas, ....etc. Installed 10.1 stable with gapps the latest.
Wifi worked fine until i do a reboot from Phone (I do this Reboot to do a backup)
Since this reboot, the wifi don't see anymore the neighbor network. I have 2 SSID: one in 2.4ghz and one in the 5ghz. Both with diferent SSID Names... I didn't touch anythings in my Wifi router settings!!
In 5ghz i see the network, but the connection is flapping between Authentication, retrieve IP, Authentication.....etc .
In 2.4ghz, network is out of range...
No problem with my Crespo, same CM10.1 Stable
Have anybody other the same issue ??
