[Q] How to fix my not working WiFi ( Video showing a problem ) - Wildfire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Hello, I'm new here to this and to the flashing stuff and rest.
I wanted to do some change to my buzz so I just flashed my 2.2.1 to 2.3.7 (CyanogenMod-7.1.0.1).
Everything was fine, flashed Gapps also.
The only thing is my wi-fi isn't working.
It can't even connect. It's like refreshing by 3 secs and doing that in a circle.

/// What I Did:
- Reflashed CyanogenMod twice.
- Reflashed my radio (the newest version anyway).
- Flashed 19.25 radio with CWM 2.5.0.7 still nothing.
/// Specs:
- Android 2.3.7
- CyanogenMod-7.1.0.1
- Radio 3.35.19.25
- HBOOt 6.01.1002
- S-OFF
Did everything today and WiFi was working in the morning perfectly (on 2.2.1)
If you know a solution write it down step by step, im new to this.

Recheck your wifi password.. Authenticating is failing by the looks of it.

WiFI password
Nope, wifi password is good.
It even seems to like even refusing to scanning if u can see.

All I can see is that it scans your wifi and you enter the password which it fails to authenticate. It tries a couple of times and then disables it. If the password is correct, it should atleast try getting an ip.
Try using static ip and see if it helps..

WiFI
The password is not bad checked like 10 times. Static IP doesnt help neither.
And If u look scanning and everything also fails. It scanns and disconnects and fails ...
And I said that that morning WiFi was working perfectly on 2.2.1

Have you tried removing the password? (Just to test if it really is the password)

WiFi
Yes I Did.

try the latest cyanogenmod stable, 7.2.0

CM
There is no 7.2 stable...

There is.
http://download.cyanogenmod.com/?type=stable&device=buzz

7.2 version
Installed 7.2 version
formatted system wiped data / cache and factory reset
still the same thing happens

Try using someone else's wifi and see if that works..

Very big problem with my Desire and Wifi Connection

Hey guys,
im running a Desire with the newest Leedroid Rom. Everythings working perfect,
except the wifi network connection.
My Problem:
After i updated from branded 2.1 to 2.2 with OVA Update, i cant connect to any
encrypted wifi. I dont get an error or something, it just tries to get a ip adress
and then it says Connecting... and then it starts again from trying to get an
ip-adress and so on and so on...
The only thing thats working is to connect to an open wifi hotspot.
Things i tryed:
- Other Router, other settings, other decryption, other keys,and so on
It has to be a problem in updating process, cause with 2.1 it works and after i
update to 2.2 i cant connect to any wifi anymore.
I really need help cause i think this cant be a hardware problem, cause everything else is working.
Sry for my english, tried my best
nge89
Do a full wipe and flash leedroid again.
I have done full wipes like 100 times, also im always testing new roms,
so i was on modaco,leedroid,cyanogen and installed them many times.
So that cant be the problem
nge89
First how do you do a full wipe?
Second what is a OVA update? is it the same as OTA? And what does the update have to do with your wifi not working on leedorid? Did you OTA update form a rooted 2.1 rom?
Has wifi ever worked on 2.2? What radio are you using?
I do a full wipe with all 4 wipe options, dont know the exactly names.
Yeah sry,with OVA i mean the OTA.
No, i did a OTA Update from a branded unrooted 2.1 Desire to the branded 2.2 Froyo version. And wifi NEVER worked on any 2.2 version.
I just rooted my phone when i was on branded 2.2 version, cause i wanted to
try some of the nice roms.
In this time i never used wifi, only mobile network connection, cause i was long
time not at home and couldnt use any wifi, now im back here and trying to solve
my wifi problem.
Just checking my Radio version and i have 32.36.00.28U_4.06.00.02_2, but i dont
know why, thought i had installed a newer
Should i try the 32.49.00.32U_5.11.05.27?

Yes looks like 2.1 radio, try the newer but do not pull the battery during the update it will reboot twice and don't touch anything during the process. I take no responsibility for what happens and I suggest you do some searching on the radio flashing process. Also don't forget to check the md5 of the download.
Might sound a bit scary but if you follow the procedures and don't do anything stupid it should go well.
i encountered the same problem only i'm on 2.1 after downgrading from 2.2 and rom jumping. did a wipe and even tried to nand restore my original stock rom. is this a radio error?
the phone was working fine. this issue happened to me while i was trying to fix a battery drain problem, i did a dalvik + cache wipe and the battery was fixed but the wifi started doing this. my phone could still be on the 2.2 radio

Would be nice if you would post the radio version
was about to edit my post with the info, you beat me to it
Radio: 5.11.05.27
HBoot: 0.93.0001
Im now also on 32.49.00.32U_5.11.05.27. Still the same Problem.
That u can imagine how it looks like:
1. Wlan -> power on
2. Select my Wlan Acess Point
3. Type in my Wlan Key
4. Its says Wlan -> " The Connection is now being established"
5. Wlan -> "Authentication with "Wlan Accespoint name" "
6. Wlan -> " Not Connected"
7. Wlan -> "Scan..."
After this steps it repeats from step 4-7 again and again and nothing is happening.
nge89
Also tried with another keyboard, in another thread someone said it worked for him
with another keyboard. But not for me, still the same problem.
nge89
ok i fixed the problem and now Wifi works perfectly!
I downloaded the same version radio and flashed it again from AmonRA recovery and now the Wifi and mobile network work just fine.
I got the radio from this thread and it has the instructions on how to flash the radio.
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=687464
I just flashed the radio with clockworkmod and with install zip from sdcard. Is that wrong?
You had the same problem like me?
Nge89
Sent from my HTC Desire using XDA App
no its not wrong, thats what i did only with AmonRA. yeah from your description i had the same problem. The wifi would detect my wireless network but would refuse to connect and kept giving me "unsuccessful" errors.
The problem is, that i dont get any error.
Sent from my HTC Desire using XDA App
Some one any idea?
flashing the radio again didn't fix it?
Did you try to disable any protection (wep, wpa, wpa2) on your router and then connect? Also try to disable dhcp on your router and assign static IP adress to your HTC device. I had problems connecting to wifi but after I assign static IP everything is ok.
Yeah, i can connect with disabled security. With static ip and crypted wifi it
doesnt work, i cant connect.
nge89
Then your problem most probably lies in "shaking" between HTC and router. Did you try with basic 64 bit or 128 bit wep? In many cases shaking troubles occur when one device doesn't support encryption of another. For example I had troubles connecting my windows 7 because of ****ty drivers off my wireless card. I could only use wep. Also can you check that portable wi-fi hotspot in wi-fi hotspots is disabled? And try to add your wireless manually so when you enable wi fi it should connect you automaticly without having you to enter your password.

WiFi Problem

Hey there, i'm using cyanogen 7.0.3, and today got a prob with my wifi. though my phone finds wifi, i cannot connect to any of them not even at home. i've checked the channels (13 for europe),did a reboot, turned off-on wifi, reset pass but still no effect. any suggestions?
Thanks
Can you connect to an open ap?
I'm afraid that wouldn't work either. Anyway i wiped dalvik-cache and reflashed Rom so problem solved. I hope it stays fixed. Thanks anw

[Q] Runnymede AIO v5.0 Wifi Wont connect

Hi, I had initially flashed the Runnymede AIO Rom v4.0.2 to my HTC Desire with no issues, using CM7 r2 hboot, radio 32.56.00.32U_5.17.05.23. All worked very well, when 4.0.3 was introduced, I then flashed that rom, which intalled without a problem, however I was unable to connect to my Wifi, it found the signal and let me enter the security key, but just stays as connecting then disconnected. . I then flashed V4.0.2 back expecting that to work, however wifi still doesn't connect. Now Ver 5.0 is out completely wiped phone and intalled, all ok, but STILL no wifi .
Has anyone else experienced this issue? any advice on fixing this? help please!

Hi,
I am currently having the same issue, Runnyed AIO v5.0.1 with Cm7r Hboot (fresh install did it thismorning).
in my case, I have attempted to do it with a static ip and without on multiple wireless routers.
It has remembered my wifi network, says it's secured WPA etc but the icon up the top shows a 1 bar with a green ex.
Wi-Fi option continuously loops between Disconnected, Connecting... Connecting to wifi... Disconnected and so on.
Edit:
I tried selecting 'Wifi Protected setup' and then selected WPS > PBC (Push Button Configuration). They found each other now my device works on my home network.

I've had this issue with one of the V4 AIO ROMS (Can't remeber the exact version) but I managed to fix it by entering a Static IP address in the WiFi settings.
Yes it was stuck on optaining ip address then disconnecting. It was fine on v4.2 then stoped working in 4.3. My router was set to wireless n only. Changed to bgn mixed mode and now works fine.
Looked up and saw that desire doesn't support wireless n.... Odd it must have cause I havnt changed it.
Anyways working fine now assuming on wireless g. Strange.........

[Q] Wifi problems

Wildfire with
ROM: CM 7.2
Kernel: 2.6.35.14-InfinityPlay
Radio: 3.35.20.16
For the last year wifi, after a short period of time i can't download, I mean, some times i connect, get into market for example and download/update, but after some time i can't, it's not a market problem because i can't download from anywhere, regardless the app, but i can browse normally(!), the problem is only in downloading. Even if i reset wifi, go in and out of airplane mode, restart the phone etc, the problem stays. Maybe if i try the next day it works ok. I dont know how it occurs or when and why, nor how/why/when it gets fixed...
The problem started when I had rompuzzle 2.2.1 a year before, till now. Since then I have flashed stock rom with 2.2.1, jockerdroid 4.2, cm 7.1, and cm 7.2 that i have now.
I suspect it is a radio problem, but can't be sure.
*Also sometimes I have low gsm signal, even in well covered areas.
Any ideas/suggestions?
Thanks
You said you flashed stock rom, i suppose it was a stock rom from Android?
It really looks like you have a problem with your radio (like you allready say for yourself).
It seems you have the newest one, so try a lower version.
I you have troubles finding a radio because the host is down or something just pm me or try google.
Hope this helped! Kind regards.
try radio 20.10
i have tried all 3 radios, but the problem stays. But i have noticed that when i enable tether and i put in the console the command for reverse tethering *usually* it gets fixed until the next time that i disconnect from my wi-fi.
i have not the same but similar problem,after a while i get dropped from router,even if my phone says its connected...this started to happen after changing our router (which i couldnt and cant set up) and setting up "N" wifi network...i found two options,how to solve it..
1)use free app wifi fixer from google play store (which somehow manages to know if you are connected or not and can automatically reassociate with router again)
or
2)flash HCDR.Kernel_v4_Flashable.zip from op on this page http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=798471
maybe it help, maybe not.. gl
I have *temporary* solved the problem by following the reverse tethering guide... I don't know why but after doing this procedure I can connect normally to my router, and if it disconnects (rarely) I just repeat the steps of the guide.

[Q] CM11 WiFi doesn't connect

Hi there, my first post.
I've used arco68's guide to root my S4 mini LTE (serranoltexx) and flashed the CyanogenMod 11 M9 snapshot (cm-11-20140804-SNAPSHOT-M9-serranoltexx.zip), but the WiFi isn't working properly. Sometimes it connects (very rarely), but most of the time it just says "Connecting", "Authenticating..." and then goes back to say "Saved, secued with WPA" and the process repeats again.
I've tried flashing the following ROMs, but the WiFi isn't working properly on either of them:
cm-11-20140804-SNAPSHOT-M9-serranoltexx.zip (current)
cm-11-20140708-SNAPSHOT-M8-serranoltexx.zip
cm-11-20140813-NIGHTLY-serranoltexx.zip
Other things I've tried so far:
Using CM File Manager to delete contents of /data/misc/wifi and rebooting, as described here, but it didn't help.
Installed SQLite Debugger, went to Settings Storage > setttings.db > Global, where I wanted to change the value of wifi_display_on to 0 as described here, but it was already set to 0, so no luck here.
Changed the Region Code in WiFi settings (as described here) to United States, then to Europe, but this didn't help either.
Installed the latest nightly update, but still nothing.
Basically, I've tried everything I could find, but the WiFi still doesn't work, and I have no idea why. I don't want to downgrade to CM 10.2, since later when I decide to upgrade to CM 11, I'd need to wipe all the data and make a clean CM11 install. Also, I don't want to flash any other ROM except CM, so telling me to install Paranoid Android or anything else wouldn't help.
If you have any ideas how to solve this, that would be great! Also, feel free to ask for any additional details.
Update: I've just discovered that it connects to open WiFi networks without any problems (though I've only tried it on 2 so far), so probably WPA encryption or my old home router can be the cause of the problem. I can only change my home router to WPA (it doesn't work with WPA2), so I've yet to try it on another router supporting WPA2. If that works, it would solve the whole problem! I'm ashamed to say I haven't thought of this earlier...
Update 2: I just tested it on a WPA2-protected WiFi network and it connects without problems. The most likely conclusion seems that CM11 has some problem with WPA, so for the time being I'll switch to another router with WPA2. Hopefully gets fixed with the next snapshot!
