Desire Wireless Problems

As the title suggests, I am not having much luck with the wireless.
I turn it on, but it does not see any wireless INTERNET in the area at all. This was working fine a few days ago, but have only noticed it now.
Have tried a factory reset and cleared the SD card to no avail.
Cheers for any help

reset the password on the wireless (can be the same password as ur old one) but it will cause ur network to go down for a bit, and come back up and when its coming back up, ur phone will report it as avalible, and u can access it again, i have noticed this my self. and found it extremely annoying, it seem to be appearing when turning off the wifi on the phone and then turning it on again, after that the phone wont be able to reconnect to any rememebered device(even if u choose to forget it)
Can u please try this, and report back here if its working or not.
incase it is, it might be a issue with the 2.1 for the desire, and should be reported back to android devs.

Thanks for the reply, but Im afraid no cigar.
Reset the router, changed the password and the desire is still not picking up any wireless networks around me even though my Nexus one is.
Pain in the grass as I was to sell my HTC desire today, but if the wireless isnt working thats a deal breaker.

download the free app wifi analyzer and have a look if that one can spot any wifi broadcasts in your area,

Downloaded and it cant seem to find anything at all?
Does this mean somehow my wifi has broken?

Funny thing this because my desire has just done this today.
I went in to my router and disabled the security. I deleted the key on the phone and the phone found the network and connected OK. Went back into the router and re enabled security and rebooted the router. The phone then found the network and asked for the key. Entered the key and all good connecting now.

I've been having the same problem for quite some time now..., send it back to repair came back after a month...,, did it the first time i used my phone. disconected it for battery saving.... and when i turned it back on again it didnt found any wireless connection...
I'm lost... dont really know what to do next....,,, I'll try this method when i get home today....,, hope it works... but does that mean u have to do this everytime you want to use your wifi?:S:S

Are you using stock android or a custom ROM. I seem to remember some custom ROMS having issues with wireless networks on certain channels.
Try changing the channel of your wireless router.

[Q] Problems with Mobile internet

I am facing a very peculiar issue that makes my mobile internet dysfunctional. Whenever I switch from 2G/3G to WiFi and then switch back to 2G/3G from WiFi, the internet refuses to work unless I restart my phone. Once, the phone is restarted, it works like a charm again till the time I switch to WiFi again. Sometimes though, 2G/3G would not work even if I do not switch to WiFi. Also, rarely, it still may work even as I switch back from WiFi to 2G/3G. This issue has plagued me since a long time and is sometimes accompanied by call drops.
I took my phone to a Samsung Service centre but it wasn't of any use. They do nothing except reflashing the stock rom. It did fix the problem for a while but in an hour or in a day(or in some random time duration) the problem resurfaced. I took my phone to the service centre, just to get this problem fixed. I have tried switching between different modes in settings: GSM/WCDMA/auto etc
I also tried contacting my mobile carrier and got my sim card changed. Therefore, the mobile carrier is not at fault (Internet works flawlessly after I restart, remember?). How do I fix this? It is really irritating to restart the phone every time I need to use the internet. Please help! :-/

Maybe try flashing a different modem. I had various data and call issues on my i9300. After flashing 10 or so different modems I found one from aveuropean carrier worked best. Im in the uk btw

Thanks for replying thedadio!
But I've never flashed a modem before and have no clue which one to choose. Is it same as flashing a custom rom? Also, can I brick my device while flashing modems?

Yes its similar to flashing custom ROM. What ROM are you on and what modem are you on?

McLaren__F1, I am on stock 4.1.2. Also, I just tried flashing DDALJ1 modem (As I'm from India) and Perseus kernel. None of these steps helped me in any way. Still the same issues. :-/

Which is your network provider? I had the similar problems when I was on docomo..nw ported to airtel nd problem solved.
Btw did you try some other np's sim?
Sent from my GT-N7100 using xda premium

I am currently using Airtel (Prepaid). I haven't tried using any other np's sim though..

I have the exact same problem. I am with optus Australia. I tried different modems, different ROMs but all have the same problem. I have sent mine away to be replaced and am still waiting for the new one. Very frustrating problem.

I'm not sure if they'll replace mine. It has been almost 6 months since I bought it..
How do I solve this? Any clue anyone? :|

My Note2 does this sometimes & only fix is a restart.

try soft format may its helpful

Not a fix, but toggling airplane mode on and off does the job for me.
Interestingly this happens to me only when leaving one particular WiFi access point.

i got exatly same proplem, 3g not working after leaving wifi of my workplace, but when im home i have no proplems if i decide leave my home network.
could it be related to radio type wifi has?? my workplace still using old hardware with radiotype of .g and leaving that network "kills" mobile network and i need to reboot phone, but my home network is .n and im not having proplems after leaving it. if its related to wifis radiotype it should be easy for someone to write script which reboot mobile network after leaving those wifi networks.

Doesn't work for me. This problem is strange. :-/

No one has a solution for this problem on XDA?

Did you use the NFC to scan anything by any chance? I don't know if it could be related but my phone started to have issues around the same time I bought some NFC tags and started programming and scanning them.
I still haven't got my replacement phone back yet. But I'll let you know if it still has issues in my problem spots. Than we'll know if the problem was with the phone or just this model.

Nope! I haven't used NFC at all.
Ohh, okay..Eagerly waiting for your response! *Fingers crossed*

Tested replacement phone today and the problem seems to be gone. The signal was actually stronger than all my previous phones.
This issue could be a hardware problem as from what I have searched on the net it seams to affect only a few people. I just hope if I root the phone the problems don't come back.
Maybe you could try send it away for repair if they won't replace it.

Looks like I spoke too soon. The issues are still there. While waiting for my replacement phone I was using an old HTC wildfire and had no issues with the data connection so it must be an issue with this model.

WiFi Disconnecting Issue

Perhaps the most annoying thing is that I had stock rooted....then I switched to Liquid Smooth v2.2 (I'm just saying because the problem has spanned across both ROMs....thus it can't be a ROM issue)
But pretty much, when the WiFi is connected, sometimes it'll cut out...and go to 3G.....then maybe it'll come back again, and maybe it doesnt.
Only time the problem gets manually fixed is if I go to the pulldown menu and click on WiFi (the WiFi button is already lit, but I unclick it, then click it again) and then it'll come back.
But if I go to settings --> WiFi, it will force close. Only way to fix it is from the pulldown menu.
My WiFi policy is set to "never sleep" which is fine because it goes into sleep mode when I use DS Battery Saver.
Can someone help me, so that it doesn't automatically disconnect? Thanks!!

I'd go back to full stock
[ROM/RESTORE][!MB1 OTA!](3-05)Quick Return to UNROOTED STOCK WITH FLASH COUNT RESET
and see how things go, I've heard that using root toolkit can cause weird wifi problems if that was used to achieve root.
I'd stay on stock for a few days. If wifi stays wonky then bring it in to sprint. if not then try to root again. (if you used the toolkit then use the method outlined by qbking777 - you can find his channel on youtube)
Good luck

Well this problem doesn't occur in other home's WiFi, only mine.
And it's been recent, probably like 2 months.

Ah, well that would have been good to mention before
things i would check:
It may be due to your security type on your router.
I have mine set to WPA2/PSK; you might play with that.
any new apps installed on your phone
maybe a firmware update to the router if you've updated the modem on your phone
if not, maybe update the modem on your phone
if all else fails. I'd still go all the way back to stock and check it out. because that gives you a know starting point with not augmentation.

Ok so I had this same problem a while back and after a little Google-fu I found a solution.
I found that people were able to fix it by changing the SSID of their wireless access point. I changed the SSID that my router was broadcasting so it would have ONLY alphabetical characters (went from MOTOROLA-8472J to MOTOROLA) and the problem magically fixed itself.
Dont know why this happened, but it seems like its a problem across Android, as opposed to a single device
Hope this helps :thumbup:

Mine is like JMF23 but I'll change it to something else.

Problem isn't just my router. I just went to a friend's and it's the same thing. I am extremely frustrated and I have no idea what to do.
The WiFi keeps connecting...then disconnects. When I go to the settings, the IU freezes. I can only enable WiFi again from the pulldown menu.

Did you try going back to full stock as jdelano mentioned above?

[Q] Android 4.3 wifi problem

I know this has probably been asked many times before but i can not find an acceptable answer. My WiFi will not automatically connect to known WiFi spots i know they are solutions to try like turning wifi optimisation on/off and you can always manually go into wifi and it will connect, but its not right it is not how it should work. I'm wondering if it is linked to hardware as in a certain batch of components not working properly with the software. Anyway is there a permanent proper fix other than flashing back to an early release. Also I have tried many 4.3 roms including stock and they are all the same

Had the same issue. Having success with a Tasker rule that turns off wifi for 1 minute when wifi connection is lost and then turns it back on. This seems to reset the wifi so when I return to a known wifi, there is a reconnect. At wost have to wake the device (hit the power button) and then wifi comes alive.

Thanks for help I've decided to go back to 4.2 for now. It really bugs me when something doesn't work as it should and refuse the 'workarounds' as a matter of principle. Does anyone know though if it is a hardware batch kind of problem as it just doesn't seem to make sense that some people have the problem where others do not. I hope 4.4 doesn't have the same issue.

Having the same issue here on my toroplus. I've noticed three different behaviors: automatically connects, connects right after screen turns on (before unlocking), and doesn't connect until I tell it to "Connect". I've read that some people have reported the issue on the Nexus 4, but I don't know if that means anyone is working on fixing it...but being on multiple devices, someone that can fix it ought to notice it, right? I hope so; it's definitely starting to annoy me too!

Its annoyed me to the point I think 4.3 is unusable. I have limited data usage and with my very useless memory I keep using it up as I've forgot to manually connect to WiFi. I've even tryed looking through all the system folders to see if I can edit some setting but I don't really know what I'm looking for.

Recently tried 4.3 again with the same problems as usual. Buuuut after a week of using it the WiFi issue seems to be fixing itself!?!?! More and more often its connecting by itself yet I have not changed a single thing. I am on stock unrooted 4.3. So maybe its just a case of a bit of patience.

No, I can't confirm that. I've been using 4.3 for at least 2 months and the issue hasn't fixed itself the least.

[Q] Major WiFi issue out of nowhere?

Hey all. I need some advice. This morning my G3 (D850) dropped WiFi connection for no reason. It says the signal is good but the network info says saved, secured. It will attempt to connect over and over again and if it does connect the signal is weak as can be and it drops the connection within 2 seconds. My coworker has a G3 also and is connected to the same work network I am. His connection says excellent where as mine said good. His device connects just fine with full bars. I'm baffled. I've already tried manually selecting 2.4 Ghz and 5 Ghz instead of auto select and that didn't help at all. I've tried manually turning off WiFi and turning it back on. I've tried turning airplane mode on and then off to refresh the connection and that didn't help. I've done a battery pull as someone in one of the android authority forums suggested that (apparently I am not the only one having this issue.), didn't work. I've unchecked WiFi optimization - no dice. There was another post on a different forum here on XDA that said turning off WiFi and then deleting the WiFi config folder located in data/etc/wifi and then rebooting fixed the issue for them so I tried that. After reboot when I tried to turn on WiFi my G3 rebooted itself. Does it everytime. SO, I had to restore to a nandroid backup (btw I'm on rooted stock 10f) to get the phone to stop hating my WiFi toggle attempts. Last ditch effort I did a factory reset hoping for an easy fix... Nope. I don't know what else to try. It was fine yesterday all day. This morning it was perfectly fine and then randomly started having this issue. I haven't altered any system files whatsoever. I really don't want to send my device to LG for warranty replacement so I'm hoping someone can help me out that may have had this issue and resolved it. The only difference between my device and my coworkers device is he is still on 10d and I am on 10f. That could be the issue I guess but that doesn't really explain why my device has been perfectly fine until this morning and I've been on rooted 10f for weeks. I am planning on flashing back to straight bone factory stock 10d when I get home here in a few hours from work but Idk if that will help or not. Judging from the amount of google search results of "LG G3 WiFi connection problems" this seems to be an issue for several people. I won't know if it's on the software side or hardware side until I get home but in the meantime has anyone had these issues at all? People have had success in changing to Static IP but I would have to do that for every connection I attempt to connect to and that's a pain in the a$$. Also, that does nothing to identify the root cause of the issue. Any help would be greatly appreciated. =)

Thanks for the reply. So it turned out my phone just randomly decided it doesn't like my work network anymore. Idk why lol. I got home and it hooked right into WiFi. Gf's WiFi and open networks as well. I call shenanigans. I went ahead and flashed back to 10d anyway though.

I am having the same issue! But it is happening in other networks too...sometimes I get the phone to connect but it only works for a while and when I check the networks it only says Saved, even if I try to connect again

Having the same issue, whether at work or home, my wifi has become near useless. I've even gone as far as trying a different ROM. Didn't work.

Same thing here

I also have tried factory reset, installed a new ROM, changed settings in my router... but the problem remains I don't know what to do anymore, I use wifi a lot!! I searched through other topics but no one seem to know how to solve it. Unfortunately my warranty already expired, I took my phone to some technicians but honestly it didn't help at all...they all said it was a software bug and I should wait for an update but if it was just that a new ROM would fix it,right?
I am not very familiar with phone hardware but I assume that if it was a hardware problem I wouldn't be able to turn it on or connect to any network, right?? (any experts here???)
Any solution is welcomed.

anyone please?? :crying:
P.S : I tried a new baseband, new kernel and new ROMs. So far, nothing changed.
I can connect sometimes but get kicked out within minutes. At other times I only get the saved,secured message.
This is happening in every network
