Have had several of the XDA family from the iis, exec,mini/s etc. Just got a nice Orbit from O2 and have spent literally hours attempting to get the damned thing to connect to my wireless router.
Never had an issue with the other XDA's, just enable SSID on the router, switch on the device wifi, when it sees the router, connect and enter the wep key. Hey presto, it works. Not this damned Orbit...
I do all the correct stuff, but what happens is that the key input notification goes, the wifi icon on the top line cycles for a few times and then just goes to the 'mast' icon. If you look at the available networks page, it shows the network as Unavailable!
Click on connect, it goes into a Connecting state, and then goes Unavailable again.
I have tried without any WEP security active (totally open netwok) and it does exactly the same. No setting on the 'performance' screen makes any difference.
Has anyone else experienced anything like this? My home network is 802.3b (not g) ... I haven't tried another network yet as I know my router is working fine (my mini/s still connects OK). Is it perhaps a faulty Orbit?
Any suggestions welcomed.
Maybe the problem is that it doesnt have wifi? Or at least the MDA Compact 3 doesnt anyway
The Orbit has G Wi-Fi and it certainly sounds faulty. Have been able to try connecting to any other networks?
WiFi solution
I had exactly that problem and I solved it by changing the channel on the wifi router. Some channels seem outside the Orbits reception range. Change it a few times until you hit the jackpot.
Did you change the energy options (from balanced to high performance)?
Without this setting my wifi doesn´t work at all...

Yep - done that. In fact, I have tried all 11 channels on my router with WEP both on and off. Still no-go.
What occasionally happens is that it will 'see' my wifi SSID (and that of my neighbours), but after a short while both networks go into an Unavailable state on the 'available networks' screen.
I have made a connection TWICE (both with WEP 128bit security, and each time on Ch11) - showing very low signal strength each time. The connection will survive for no more than 30 seconds and then drop out, never to reconnect!
It's doing my damned head in. Never had an issue with any of my previous wifi devices - I can only assume that there is a fault with the wifi radio section... its only 4 days old so will need to get an exchange from O2 then...
It was definitely a faulty Orbit!
Issue resolved.
Got O2 to exchange my Orbit for a new replacement.
WiFi working 100% now, and all as expected. I did nothing different in the setup of the new one - my only conclusion is that it was most definitely faulty.
So, for some use if anyone has the same kind of problem (and bothers to use the search facility), if your WiFi is 'deaf' and cannot see your router or won't stay connected, then suspect a faulty device.
Sigh - updated to O2's WM6 rom and now the damned wifi is stuffed again.
Anyone got any suggestions? This thing is driving me nuts. Is there an updated radio firmware that fixes the poor wifi or is it a hardware issue?
I had this little snag (OR BIG ONE) when Purchasing a Belkin 54g Wireless Router, slightly different scenario since you're Router hasnt changed, What I proceeded to do was delete all the detected wifi network even my own and try wifi enumeration again, This solved the particular problem that I had,
whew!
My heart almost stopped when I read trap's 'faulty hardware' post!
I have EXACTLY the same problem... and EXACTLY the same hardware (belkin54g, wm6 on an O2 Exec).
The router was a freebee, so I am going to just go grab a old Trendnet and give it a go.
...keep you posted... but I think a re-flash is probably going to have to happen. Anyone know any stable wm6 roms?
No luck. The Trend does the same thing.....
Hunting around on the forums here I found this:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=251969
Sounds like we have an wm6 that is incompatible to with 'g' s
I am having the same issue - what was once working is now not. I have a Belkin Wireless router, which my XDA has had no issues talking with ... however now, I just get 'Unavailable' on the XDA when I try and connect! Madness!
OK - after days of pulling my hair out, it has suddenly started working. To be fair I think that it has little to do with the XDA and more to do with the Belkin Router. I changed numerous things and suddenly it started working again, sorry I cannot offer any more help!
anyone got weird intermittent wireless issues?
Every now on then, and then seemingly only on some apps, wireless network connectivity will come to a crawl and / or seemingly stop completely. Apps time out etc. but I know the network is fine as my flatmate's galaxy nexus / my laptop remain fine. The most common culprit is the play store. I turn off wireless and go on HSPA, wait a while, go back to wireless, all good.
Also, once I had to kill chrome beta to fix it.
What gives?
I am having some minor wifi issues too, but i think they are slightly different from wintermute's problem.
Both my wifes and my One X won't reconnect to our wifi after returning to the house. The only way I have been able to get them to re-connect is to reboot the router.
The One X's try to reconnect appear to, then instantly disconnect and just keep cycling. Turning the wifi off and on doesn't seem to help.
Our Asus transformer and the laptop don't seem to have any issues if taken out of wifi range and then moved back in.

Hi there's a few forum posts about this. A number of us has had this issue...the One X would not have good WiFi speeds, or would completely stop whereas all other WiFi enabled devices on the same network at the same time would be fine. A reboot of the router seems to fix this for most of us. Doesn't quite make sense why the One X would be affected by a wifi issue but not other devices, but seems to do the trick for most people. Its been 7 days now since I had my One X, and since rebooting the router, the wifi issues have not returned.
I'm a cisco tech in real life and trust me its not my wireless setup... proof is that all other droids work fine (my old nexus, atrix my flatmate's galaxy nexus etc.) unless there is some super esoteric setting that the HTC one requires
having said that I have rebooted my WAP a couple of times (in addition to tweaking my router a bit re: IOS firewall, some tcp-mss tweaks I was using etc.) and it does seem better. Still at a loss to understand why no other device has any issues except for this
I'm seeing wifi drop and reconnect all the time on my One X.
Signal strength isn't an issue, I'm sat 3m from the AP however their are lots of wifi networks in this building so could be an issue with interference...
I don't have any issues with my laptop or old Desire on this wifi..
I see the same issues at the office but again their are lots of wifi networks at that location too...

Hi there,
I had a problem with my HOX and my German Fritzbox Router...it would connect, but then not letting any data through...and then even disable the whole WiFi signal so that my laptop, ps3 and Samsung Tab did not get a connection anymore...reset of the Fritzbox was necessary....loads of HOX user reported the issue in a German forum, and one suggested to set the WLAN signal from b+g+n 2.4 to only b+g 2.4 and voila....problem has disappeared...price is that connex max at 54 Mbits now...but I can live with that...try it...maybe it solves some people's WiFi issues...until someone or HTC themselves figure out a working solution with a full wireless n support...

I am experiencing the same issues but with the one s, not the WIFI ones the actual network stops all of a sudden and usually within 1 minute comes back.
It happens about once a day.
The only real problem I have is with the WLAN stick which I use on my pc as hotspot. My Phone connects but after a few minutes I have to restart WLAN on phone so it works again. With the router at my parents home (Fritz-Box) I dont have this problem. I use connectify lite on my pc. With the built-in hotspot in windows 7 it just wont work out. Maybe someone else have this kind of issue and knows a solution.
I have the same problem at home and at work.
Disabling WiFi-N on the AP fixes the problem.
At the office we have Netgear WNAP210 and at home I have a Draytec Vigor 2710VDn
Can't quote xda app giving me invalid thread id error, but I have the same exact issue at work, the linksys wag120n router I use as wap, connected to a net gear router, most times when the phone disconnects, and only the hox, it takes down the internet for even those pcs connected directly to the net gear router, strangely I only need to reboot the linksys router to get things working again.... Weird.
I think the hox is doing something, like sending repeated dhcp requests (as in a bug on hox) and taking out the dhcp server. Although of course various routers would behave differently to this. My home network is fine. Not affected ever.

Have a strange problem with my HTC One X:
When I turn on the wifi on my HOX to connect to my homenetwork, the phone throws my network offline, meaning I dont have any internet access on any other device on my network. When I break the connection with my network on my phone, my network comes online in a matter of seconds... Funny thing is that my wife has the same phone as I and with hers everything works as it should be.
Already have send my phone back to HTC, but got it returned today and still gives the same problems?
Anybody experienced the same problem, or anybody any ideas how to solve this?
Thanx
i have exact the same issue, i tried everything you can imagine but no luck so far. I believe it has nothing to do with the settings of my router etc but that its related to the way the HOX handles the connection. Its sooo random sometimes I have internet but no market, sometimes the other way around. and randomly it just kills my whole wifi network soo my laptops etc are disconnected and i can't reconnect untill i reset the router. As a system administrator i just cant accept it! there is no explanation for this!
But i won't give up untill i fixed this problem, even if it means i have to go through another week of sleepless nights! Using a different router IS NOT an option!
Have you tried setting up a MAC address filter on your router? So DHCP will always give you a specific ip address for your phone? Does that still kick everything else off your network?
Very strange that your wife's identical phone doesn't cause it.

I have tried everything. Changed settings in the router, given a fixed ip address to the HOX, changed the router, put an extra router in my network, tried the neighbours router, it doesnt matter what I do, everytime it throws my network offline.
Before I send it to HTC we established it could be a hardware problem, but when I got it back yesterday, all they have done was updated the software on the phone. When I compared the software version to the other HOX phone, its exactly the same, so all they must have done is the OTA from a couple of weeks ago..
Waiting for a reply from HTC..
I have the same problem. Router is Netcomm 11n. Only plays up on that router. I finally brought a network extender, and connect to that and have had no problems since.
This is pretty strange so I thought I'd check here with people.
I got my new Sprint Note 2 today. When I was at home it connected to my wifi network and worked fine. When I got to work I connected it to our wifi network and the internet won't work. If I turn off wifi internet comes back.
Here's the kicker, I have my old iPhone right next to it connected to the work wifi network and it is connected fine to the internet. This is definitely going through wifi as I no longer have a data plan on that phone.
I checked with our IT admin who said that there is no need to "accept" a device on our wifi network. He also rebooted the network for good measure. After both phones lost the network (from the reboot) and reconnected the same thing happened. No internet from my Note but internet works fine on the iPhone. Restarting my Note doesn't fix the problem.
Any ideas? Thanks.
I have the same problem. Need help too.

My network admin created a second wifi network to connect to (I guess our router supported it) and when I connected to the new one I got internet.
If it helps others try and solve the issue he tried pinging the IP address that my phone was using and said that he could only send information but not get anything back.

Try changing your wifi channel config in the router.
Hi, I've got the International version N7100 and experiencing weird wifi problem. I have tried to reset my wifi router and use static IP but it doesn't solve the problem. Btw, the problem is whenever I connect my Note 2 to wifi it would lose connection after a while then messes my router and connection of my PC to router as well. Never had this issue until I brought the Note 2 home a week ago. I had to restart my router and turn off my wifi on Note 2 for everything else to work. My iPad, iPhone and PC are all doing fine when Note 2's wifi is off.
I used to have terrible problems with my Virgin Superhub which all went away when I changed the security settings to WEP hexidecimal from WPA2-PSK (AES). Laptops and phones would have intermittent connections all the time which a reboot or channel change would sort out but only temporarily. Give it a whirl.

I've been experiencing the same problem. It's especially annoying when I try to download big size apps on Google Play ( > 1 gb) because it will stop any moment and i will have to re-download it over and over again. It never happens when I connect to school wifi but it just happens when I connect to my wifi at home. Weird. Nothing is wrong with my wifi at all because my other computer is always connected 24/7 without any problem.
I have a similar problem on Omega Ron v5.0 with latest Andrei kernel. The phone gets stuck sometimes in getting IP address part or have disconnects. It's annoying.

Afraid not.
I did that after other efforts failed but still have to go through same issue every now and then. This is not a permanent problem but something that occurs at least once a day for me.
Also having Wifi issues with GN2 from Sprint
I got the GN2 on it's release date (this past Thursday) through Sprint. Got it home got set up, connected...everything worked beautifully.
After a couple of hours, downloading apps etc. I noticed it had stalled. Turned off WiFI and used the network to finish. Turned back on WiFi and Voila, action again, but a few hours later it stalled.
I first made sure all of my settings were in agreement. No sleep mode or anything like that was enabled. No power saver either.
Couple hours goes by, WiFi connectivity stalls (even though it shows a full signal) I contacted TWC and made sure it wasn't the modem/router. I changed the wifi channel, tinked with the bandwidth... everything worked...an hour later it stalled. Called Sprint they said I had a dud, took it back, exchanged it, got the new one... SAME ISSUES. YEsterday I connected to my Church network HOPING it was an issue at home, but not so. After an hour on the network it stalled.
Contacted Samsung today and they have had no complaints according to them so i said I'm happy to be the first... If anyone finds a fix please let me know.
PD

Do you have any solution yet? I have the same issues with 2 different networks. I already contacted Samsung, but they only say I should do a reset of my device and read the setup instuctions for wifi. I'm still in contact with Samsung and hardly try to get a solution.
Stay tuned, I'll post any news I can get.

I'd prefer it to work with the stronger encryption of WPA2 rather than WEP.
OP: it will be great if you could add a poll to the thread as that way we can see whats the percentage of users are experiencing this issue,

Same issue here. Connect wifi and I'm able to hold connection for as little as minutes at times. Turn back on 4G and I'm fine. If I re enable wifi straight after it works intermittently. This is true of both my home and office wifi. So I'm lead to believe it's the phone.
Hi,
Almost the same thing here. everytime I go out of my home and comeback the wifi network seems to work but no internet access. I have to stop and restart wifi then it works.
very strange issue. ok I have a work around but I'm going to open a ticket to Samsung.
Same issue - connects for about 30 seconds
I've tried on different routers. Other devices (iphone, ipad, S3, etc.) all work fine. Sees the wifi network. connects, then disconnects and TURNS OFF WIFI. I can't figure out how to go to service mode to see if this is a timer issue. I've tried on both G and N networks. using a verizon fios, actionteck router (and netgear). Also, will not remember the password credentials. tried router reboot and fidling, etc. Driving me nuts. any suggestions ???
So I bought a Nexus 5X 2 days ago. When I first started the phone it was running Android 6.0.0 and it didn't have issues. But a update for 6.0.1 showed up and I downloaded it. And then the issues came. It cannot find any wifi network... The problem isn't from my network, because every other device finds my home network and all the neighbors network, but the 5X doesn't find any... I tried factory reset, network reset, cache reset, nothing helped. I even tried Android N beta and for a moment it fixed the issue, but this morning the wifi problem occurred again. I sign out from the N beta and through Mobile network it managed to download the last stable version(that's what google is calling it) - 6.0.1 and the problem was still there.. after some restarts of the phone and some factory resets, i thought the problem was gone, because it managed to find every wifi network in the area, but after i used the phone for 25-30 minutes, the wifi problem occurred again and ever since... So, is this a common issue with the phone, or the android 6.0.1, or is my phone a defected one? Should I go to the store and ask for a replacement? Or will the next phone do the same thing ?

Hi something similar happened to my 5X (6.0.1). It was able to find wifi network but I was not able to use internet even-though internet was working for other devices. I have restarted phone but my phone stuck in to WIFI Obtaining IP address...
I have restarted my router and problem resolved. Happened two times. Might be some bug in software.
I'm currently facing this very same issue, no WIFI networks are showing up. I've already flashed latest N preview with same results, funny thing is that this morning was working just fine. But I had to reboot the phone and now it won't detect any WIFI Network at all.
I'm starting to think I have a failed unit, but since I'm outside the "US" I can't send it back for warranty repair. So I'll just keep it and keep restarting until it's fixed again. This is really frustrating, never happened to me with any device I owned before.

Is it every wifi or just your wifi?
If it is just your wifi, try factory resetting your router after recording the settings, or try removing some entries that my be using NVRAM.
I've seen cases where the router runs out of NVRAM to record the DHCP entries and that causes connection issues. It doesn't show up for other devicdes because their entries are already stored in NVRAM. It is just the incremental new device you add that triggers the problem, so you naturally think the problem is with the new device since all your other devices work with the router.
my solution for wifi not found/working
i´ve upgraded from the nexus 5 to 5x.
i had a really weird issue with my wifi.
only found my wifi when i was not in airplanemode. so i read 1000 of articles about the wifi of the n5x.
just the standard blabla. so i did my own research
while my n5 and my n7 + 2 laptops had never issues my new 5x didnt find my wifi. i really thought it was an hw-issue. but it wasnt.
i am using a fritzbox router. newest update, made a reboot, rebooted phone. nothing happened.
then i checked my wifi channels, set it to manually and instantly found my wifi. i really never expected that the channel got such a big influence. may be the latest update brought a bug for the wifi channels or the hw is just not capable of some channels, dunno. but this is what helped me and it was nowhere mentioned in any forum.
tl;dr
try to change your wifi channel of the router.
edit: btw i found the 5ghz while the 2,4ghz wifi didnt work. but i wanted the 2,4ghz wifi to work because of the short range of my 5ghz wifi.
atm i am on channel 8 and i got no problems with the 2,4ghz wifi network

I don't know about Europe, but usually in the US we only use channels 1,6,11 to prevent overlap.
This is because there is overlap in the channels so you can't really use the in between channels due to too much interference. If you are the only wifi transmission in your area it is fine to use any channel, but if there are others and they are using standard channels for no overlap/interference and you are using in-between channels, your signals are probably going to interfere with each other.
When everyone is using the set channels, then they can negotiate properly and everything works better. With overlapping frequency bands, the negotiation doesn't work well because your signal sometimes looks like noise to the other device.

Hi, thanks for your help but unfortunately it's every wifi... it just hangs on "Searching for Wi-Fi Network..." and stays there...
I already talked with LG and they asked me to send the unit for repair, but I'm no in the US anymore (I was for a short time of period and that's when I bought this phone). So that would not be an option, right now I'm only using 4G and trying to measure it, lol
Just another question, do you guys think I could use a WIFI external dongle through USB OTG? Could that be possible on the Nexus 5X?
Thanks for your help! :good::good:

Hi, thanks for the suggestion but the problem I'm facing it's with every wifi network around, not only mine.
I guess unit is defective, but could a simple reboot trigger this kind of behavior? This is strange, never happened on any device I've owned before. :crying:
