My wifes stock KF wont connect to wifi no matter what(Im not changing the router settings anymore) , the KF I have with custom rom connects flawless , my Note , S2 ,Focus, A500 ,2 laptops .Xbox and half a dozen other devices connect no problem ,so I really dont believe the router is the fault .
Why is the stock KF having this problem ? Is this associated with a low battery, because her fire never gets above 53% ,Mine goes to 100% and holds for days !
Its really annoying that this POS does this , does anybody Know what the deal is with this?
Is the modem faulty , how can I fix this, she reads like 2-3 books a week , so its critical , she can usb to get books , but the whole thing about the kindle is getting books on the fly !
Any help would be appreciated , you devs are smart cookies in here!
Have you tried connecting to WiFi somewhere other than your home? Did it ever work? If it's under warranty just return it, not worth the headache.
it was working here at the house , and it works at hotspots , but it just stopped working here recently , ive tried changing channels all that crap on the router doesnt change a thing!
I threw in tge towel! My kindle has fff/twrp and the original amazon rom ,so I just restored that rom ,deregistered my account registered hers and she's back in business,tomorrow its back to kfu and fun stuff with her kindle and its getting rooted / fff / rom I'm not messing with amazon

well tried out her Kindle again this morning wouldnt connect to anything after reading all the bs about how and why the KF wont connect and saying how different channels work better on your network and that the routers firmware is the cause , well Im hear to tell ya its bll sht ,I immediately ran kfu on this Kindle , within 5 minutes ,I had permanent root ,FFF,TWRP and started her up and BAM ,connection !!!!! I personally believe that Amazon does like apple they use the cheapest parts on the inside , make the outside look like a million bucks and then throttle everything down to a minimum setting so that things sort of work!
My wives Kindle fire was having the same issues with wifi.
She finally got sick of it had me root it and install a custom rom. It's all software, not hardware.
I had the same issues with my previous phone a Samsung galaxy S. The wifi wouldn't turn back on, after I turned it off. The aosp cm7/9/10 never had that problem.

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.

Please Help. I have had my Inc for about 3 months now and have tried different ROMs. Today I noticed that my phone was not connected to my Wi-Fi at work. When I try to enable Wi-Fi the only thing it says is "error." At first I thought it was mabye the ROM, restored from a back up from a different rom a couple days ago, still get error when enabling Wi-Fi.
CWM 3.0.0.8
hboot -0.92.0000
radio-2.15.00.07.28
ROMS Kingdom Stock Sense 3.0 Rls 1.1 and IncRom 1.6
Do you think my Wi-Fi is broken all together or should I try to upgrade my radio, or try some other solution?
Can your phone not connect to ANY wifi network or just this one in particular?

Will not connect to any. Wi-Fi can will not enable. Every time I try it says "Turning on..." for several seconds and then says "Error" and Wi-Fi is still unchecked. When I try to enable Wi-Fi Tether for Root is fails and instructes me to check log. The log is as follows:
Loading bcm4329.ko module (fw_bcm4329_apsta.bin from /etc/ firmware)...failed
Starting access-point...failed
Activating WiFi interface...failed
Enabling NAT rules...done
Enabling IP forwarding...done
Tethering now running...done
My laptop can not connect or see my phone to tether to it. Yes it has before.
I'd think that it sounds like a hardware issue if it was working before, but it can't hurt to try a different radio. TBH I haven't really heard of many other situations like yours, wish I could think of something...

Thank you for the help. I think I will restore it to bone stock, take it to Verizon and see what they can do. My last Inc thay would not help with but sent to PCD where these phones are refurbished for HTC, they replaced the mother board and sent it back. Took 4 weeks though.
Well just restored phone to complete stock, still no Wi-Fi. Looks like I will be visiting Verizon on my lunch.
Well after several minutes at Verizon and them determining that yes there was indeed a problem with my Dinc, they warrantied it out and sent me a new refurb. Got that one yesterday. Got the phone activated, played with it for a while. When I went to lunch I really put it to use. Watching a short 15 min video the phone got warm and rebooted. And then rebooted again. When the phone finally powered up to a workable state I let it sit and cool down. Today for me lunch I decided to get it to reboot cycle again. Yep it did, took to Verizon which is about 20 min away and the entire trip it would keep rebooting. By the time I got to the store it would only boot up to the HTC Incredible screen until I pulled the battery and tried again. Still only HTC Incredible screen. Showed the sales rep, another one on the way. This will be my 4th phone since March of this year. I love the phone but if I can't get one that works it doesn't do much good.
To start off, this happened maybe a month ago. I was on my phone just listening to pandora and for some reason the WiFi shut off. I tried going turning it back on but it got stuck on "Turning Wifi On". I was on EliteMod ICS. I thought maybe it was just an app or something, so I superwiped my phone to start all over again and flashed a new rom. For some reason when I went to this new rom "CM10 Flinny" I honestly did all I could. I have tried every rom. I even took off root and s-off and started from a "New out of the box" state. And it still won't work. Could it be an error within the phone? Or does it have to deal with hardware? I don't if this helps but when i check out a logcat of the phone, it says like wpa_supplicant not found and the javastate or w.e it is can not be started. I never play with the wifi too, barely use it and it just happened out of nowhere which is leaving me confused.
And also if it does have to be with hardware. Can anyone tell me where to get the tools to open up the phone? And the certain items I need to get it working again. I'm already ordering another part since my phone's home keys don't work either. Weird that many problems came up all at once.
Similar problem here except my WiFi stopped working on mimcry 1.5 I also get the WiFi error cannot connect to suplicant

So here is whats going on I was on Parandroid and it was fine but I noticed I had only about 60 megs of ram as a normal thing. I figured its either the rom or I have way to much crap on my phone so I did a complete wipe and returned to stock. Then I started to reinstall only apps that I needed or liked and basically got rid of the junk. and everything was going fine . Then i noticed that I was loosing my internet butit wass still saying it was connected to my network. So I figured that I got a bad upgrade from verizon so I flashed AOKP build 6 and I am having the same problems. So I called cox and asked is I was having problems and while I was on the phone with them it worked perfect untill about 2 min. after I got off the phone with them it stopped again. I need help to figure if it is my provider or something with my phone.
Heres the basic:
After I reeboot it connects fine and everything is normal. When I start downloading something from play store or podcaster it starts and can go for 5 megs or 80 megs but then just stops . It still shows its connected but absolutely no internet. I can shut on and off the wifi and it will start up again but stop again once I start downloading. Now if I come off of wifi and use 3g it works just fine and no shut down. So I am mcurios if its Cox or something to do with me wifi adapter.
Thanks for any help guys
Have u flashed the new Verizonx4.2.2 WiFi drivers/gps ....should help

Has anyone else experience their WIFI connection almost completely stop working? For the last few days either I get no connectivity at all or very slow, but every now and then for a few minutes it will run at normal speeds.
I'm stock, rooted, no custom recovery or 2nd bootloader. I've rebooted the kindle and my router multiple times. I've done a full factory reset on the Kindle. None of that helped. There's 3 laptops, 2 other tablets, and 2 phone all running fine on the WIFI so I don't think it's the router.
If anyone has any suggestions. I'd appreciate it.
Have you done any other modifications other than rooting?

I've got the google services installed to get the Play Store working, and installed NOVA launcher. I think that's all.
Well, I thought it may be something with the drivers gone funny, so I finally got around to getting 2nd bootloader and recovery going. I tried CM10, I tried Hashcode's stock ROM, and I tried the full restore from the KFHD First Aide tool. All the same results. I'll get intermittent bursts of full speed, but for the most part every web page, market request or attempt to stream something times out.
When I look at the WIFI settings in the kindle, it pretty consistently says 39Mb link speed. My phone is connecting at 26Mps, but everything works no problem as do all the other devices.
I know I'm heading into O/T territory, but does anyone know what Router Settings to check for that may be limiting just one device? Failing that I'm going to have to return to stock and see if I can get some help from Amazon.
Thanks in advance!
I'm also having some wifi issues like you. Mine's 8.4.3, rooted, with google play store and a few other things. Like you, all my wireless settings seem to be ok, several other devices use the wifi without any problems. And like you, I've had CM 10.1 installed in the past and I'm back on the stock Amazon rom.
One hunch that I had yesterday was the following: I bought a cover for my Kindle that can cover the back and front of the kindle. When I use it normally, I fold the front cover around to the back of the device, meaning there's a double cover on the back when in use. I thought to myself, maybe the cover is blocking the wifi signal or something... I then tried changing the cover to "kickstand" mode, so that it wasn't against the back of the device. It seemed to help, but I still need to do more testing.
If you have a cover then maybe try taking it off and testing the wifi. If not then I'm out of ideas, but I'm not sure how it could be a software problem, since you've tried different ROMs with the same results.
Apparently, after a quick google search, it looks like a lot of people are having wifi problems with the kindle fire HD. Perhaps the following thread will help: http://www.mobileread.com/forums/showthread.php?t=210002. It mentions changing some router settings. I'll try it on mine when I get home.
Make sure that QoS is disabled on your router.

Thanks for the suggestions. No help unfortunately.
I need to get somewhere I can try connecting to a different router. If that's still unusable, I think it's time for the service call.
