No wifi - Verizon Droid Incredible 2

All of a sudden I cannot connect to my home network. I am running Aeroevan's CM10. We just moved, but I kept the same internet provider and all the same settings on my router. My other devices can connect fine, but my phone will say "connecting..." then nothing happens. If I click connect again nothing happens. I was connected fine before this. I even loaded a backup of a previous working ROM in case it was CM10's fault, and it did the exact same thing. If it is the router's fault then I don't know what setting to change because it worked before, and it could be the phone because my computers can connect. Any ideas?

I had a wifi issue before, similar problems although not exact. Changing the "channel" on the router seemed to fix it. I'd give that a shot, then reboot the router.

OK, I played around with the settings. I had the router set to N only, and when I switched it to G and N the phone connected at 54 mps. I thought the incredible 2 had a N radio in it. Was I mistaken or is something wrong here? This wasn't a problem just a couple days ago.

I dont have an N Router...but IIRC the Inc 2 wifi radio doesnt play well with dual band.
Try playing around with those settings.

Mine works fine with N, but I don't believe it works on the 5ghz band.

[Q] Wifi issue with HTC Desire

Hi guys,
I`ve been using an HTC Desire the last couple of weeks and to avoid overloading my dataplan when I am at home I use my WiFi. It worke just fine `till today , when the phone connects as always but it cannot load any Internet pages or open any apps that use the Internet. If I switch to 3G it works just fine, when I go back to Wifi it stops working again.
The phone shows up on the DHCP Lease List in the Router Admin page. I can ping with no loss of data. I`m clueless to what might have happened.
Please help.
Thank you
Try changing channels on your router.
Remember seeing a post about this awhile back.

it worked just fine. THANKS A LOT. although i don`t really get why it worked till today. thanks again.
Not a problem. Just remember to help others when you can.
I'm having the same issue, WiFi connects fine but there's no data. Tried it all, different radios, changing WiFi channels on my router, different ROMs, etc. but nothing worked. Meanwhile an old Nokia E71 works like a charm with the same router... what can this be?
In your Wifi Advanced settings, you can select number of channels in Regulatory Domain. Also, check your WiFi sleep policy, and set it to Never.
Might help

Only other suggestion I can think is to change your RIL.
There is a thread here:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=902752
Do you have good 3G, calls signal etc?
I use the latest (17) radio any the Nexus (1001G) RIL and have no issues.

Tried different RILs...
This is the thing, just went to my office and it works fine with a router over there. It fails to work at home, where it DID work in the past as well. All other devices I have are working fine with my home router except for Desire... Any ideas?
CM7, RC3 Rom has this option.
Can't think of any other issue with a home Wifi setup.
I dunno if my problem is wifi related, but when using K-9 Mail, Yahoo and Gmail always returns unsent, with the "Message not sent, connection reset by peer" error always appearing. It wasn't like this before, and my wifi works okay with my laptop. Market on my phone works flawlessly too. Anyone got an idea of what might've gone wrong?

Tricky....
Logic - on the day the problem occurred, something changed on a) your router, b) your hanset. Did you do any updates, flashing etc. or were there any updates to your router ISP? New tariff or anything, maximum number of connections?

I did flash LeeDroid 3.03, coming from 3.02... then rolled back to 'fix' the issue but it persisted. I tried then flashing _most_ available radios, RILs and ROMs so I think it's router related. Now, why would this be the case if all other devices connect just fine to the same router? Does Desire have some issues with 802.11N routers?

Galaxy Note 2 Wifi issue

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,
Thanks

I had this issue with my S3, but never with the Note 2. What i did in that instance was reinstall the OS and that seemed to have fixed the issue. Hope this helps!

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 ???

Weird wifi problem

Hey...I really have a strange wifi issue that I nor anyone else I have asked can figure it out. My galaxy note 2 connects to our wifi router with no issues. Works fine. BUT...occasionally it loses connection to the internet. It stays connected to the router...but not internet connection. After I turn it off on my phone and turn back on...its back on and fine.
B U T...that isn't all. WHEN it loses internet connection...it turns it off for EVERY other wireless device in the house. Laptops...cellphones, etc. Every other device will not be able to connect until I turn my wifi off on my phone and turn back on...or at least leave off. It never happens anywhere else...just at my house.
What is going on? I haven't a clue how to fix that nor what can be done...or why it is even doing this.

Yes. just did again. I'm just keeping my wifi off on my phone for now. I have a tech coming out to replace the wifi router since its theirs.
I have had similar issues ever since i flashed a 4.3 rom, wifi never works properly, did the param-4.3 odin flash too.
are you stock or on a 4.3 touchwiz rom?
Ok. I have replaced the wireless router...or I should say Charter did. They replaced it with the same model though...brand new. It still has the problem. I am on 4.2 btw and rooted...but no custom rom. Any other ideas.
You running a dual band router? Try only going on 2.4ghz band.
There are also some WiFi power savings settings you can turn off that should help also.
I had that same issue when i first got my phone in Oct fresh out of the box on 4.1. I did those changes and everything has been fine since

Cannot connect to WiFi

Is anyone else having issues connecting to wifi? When I try to connect to wifi at my house, I get a pop-up error saying "AP currently not in use. Internet connection slow." If I click retry, it comes up again. If I click cancel, it says "Failed to obtain IP" and is not connected.
I have tried restarting my model/router with no luck. My Note 3, laptop, and other devices have no problem connecting to this wifi network...
I had a problem with wifi,but sounds different then your issue.Mine would just disable after obtaining ip.Samsung rep at best buy reflashed phone.That saved all data and apps.AND,it fixed wifi.If you can't work thru your issue,go to best buy or att store and get it reflashed.Cant hurt.
Good luck.

No go for me I just Got my N4 from Verizon last monday and having the same issue u had. I changed my encryption from wep to wap and still same problem. Ima go to a verizon store and see if the "reflash" the phone like some suggest here. Might help my problem
Hi all,
I also experience the same issue from time to time. I have this happen on both my home network (WPA2-Personal) and work (WPA2-Enterprise). My fix is to either reboot the phone or activate Airplane Mode for about 20 seconds and then disable Airplane Mode. After doing that, wifi picks right up for me. YMMV.
I can try to get the exact error log messages from our networking technician at work if it would be helpful to anyone.
Out of curiosity, do any of you have other peripherals connected at the time you experience the issue (Pebble Watch, etc.)?
Same issue
With my GN4, I can connect to my home WIFI no problem and my GF's WIFI no problem but when I go to my Dad's, I CANNOT connect to his WIFI (Netgear WTG624v3) but both of my sisters with a Samsung Tab 3 and Samsung S4 CAN connect to my Dad's WIFI. It's really aggravating. Basically, when I try to connect, it says "connecting" "saved" Then it says "scanning", and says "connecting" "saved" again and again ..... But never connects.
I have tried changing just about every WIFI setting on his router including resetting the router. Tried removing the encryption making an "Open" network and STILL can't connect... and tried every encryption type provided and still nothing. I set the dynamic address range from .4 to .254 (on router) so I could try connecting with a static address to 192.168.1.2 / .3 and still nothing. I tried removing my GN4 browser cache, and setting it to airplane mode(20 secs)... nothing.
I'm at a loss.. given that both of my sisters with two different devices can connect to my Dad's WIFI but I can't with my GN4? But I can connect my GN4 to other WIFI networks, no prob.
UPDATE: Next, I will try downgrading the firmware version on the router to an earlier version. Hopefully, that's the solution. I will report my findings here.
Downgrading or using an older Firmware version for this Netgear WTG624v3 router DID THE TRICK!
If anyone else is having the inability to log into a WIFI router, try installing an older router Firmware version. I got the idea from here:

Question Wifi issues

Anyone having issues with not finding their home wifi? I'm in my house and all of a sudden the wifi will disappear and can't find it either. The only solution is to restart the phone over and over again.
Hi, yes same problem. You can fix it by going into airplane mode for 2 minutes.... but still this is a very annoying problem and the nubia support recommends to wipe the phone..... did that and same issue.... dunno what to do.
Did you find a fix in the meantime?
Hmm never had that issue with mine, did you go to the wifi settings and turn on 5g? Not sure if that is the reason it never happens to me or not. I can connect to my 5g Asus router which is on the 1st floor, and get 80 Mbps up and down on the 3rd floor. Wifi calling and text work fine to atleast with t mobile, maybe try turning that on? Hmm let's see what other settings I changed, can't think of anything else. My phone is updated to the latest update.
I also contacted nubia. I have no choice but to send the phone back which sucks because it's great for gaming.

The thing is, the wifi works as long as your at home. When you leave the range of that WIFI and come back to it, it simply wont show ANY WIFI... it seems as the WIFI- Service stopped working..... only airplane mode does work.
try and reset the network setting. I read somewhere that it's to do with the saved wifi's. I didn realized but I had 20 wifi's saved that have been transfered from my previous phone. I haven't had an issues since.
