Ok.. now that ive had time to cool off, here is the problem.
I work at a University. On a laptop, connecting to the Wi-Fi is a fairly painless process. Its a secure network, so it requires us to use our credentials (ie, our network login/pass phrase) to even connect to the Wi-Fi. Note that when i say pass phrase, that means its farily longer than a standard password. My own is somewhere in the neighborhood of ~20 characters.
The problem with my Touch Pro 2, lies in the final process of connecting to this network, where it will ask me for this information (login, password, domain). I get about 6 characters of my password in, before it pops up a message saying "Unable to connect", as if it thought i was done typing and went ahead and tried to connect.
Heres more info.
Auth: WPA2
Encryp: AES
EPA type : PEAP
Ive tried using Portrait keyboard, Landscape keyboard, and hardware keyboard.
edited for more info.
Seriously? NOBODY else has had this problem?
damn
my touch pro2 has this problem,too
anybody help us
I have connected to 3 Wi-Fi' with passwords of 8-10-12 characters and have no problem so far. Try making sure wifi is off before connecting??...Tj

umm.. then how will i see the network?
The issue is, in the way it asks for it. Its not something i can make a cert or something i can type before hand. Only thing i can do is try to connect, the Network will then ask me for a log in. If i manage to get it typed in, in time, i can save it and it will hold for a bit, until something happens like the network goes down. Which then, removes the saved log in, and i have to do the whole dam process over again.
No problem here and I use 20-character network keys on my WPA or WPA2 encrypted wireless networks (I manage or maintain several of my friends or clients networks)
Can you add and configure a connection to your network by pretending it to be a hidden network (non-broadcasting SSID)?
changing to hidden didnt work.
Ive also tried going into the Advanced settings, and on the LEAP tab, entering in my information manually, but when i do that and try to connect, it attempts to, then stops, tried to connect to a saved network that isnt in range, then stops like it didnt find anything.
LEAP - you need to configure to a domain network?
How did you try configuring for a hidden network?

Aye, we use a domain, and i have that info typed into it.
I just went though the network settings and check the box that it was a hidden network?
still having this issue. Trying to use the Enroll section by typing in my creds doesnt work, as it just tries to connect, sits for a second, then disconnects. At some point id like to try a cooked rom, but not gunna do that for a while (least till i read over it a couple more times) and even then can't guarantee the new rom wont have the same problem.
Any other suggestions?
bump-bump-bump
nobody know how to fix this hua
Anyone have any new info about this? i still cant type my password in fast enough..
Is their anyway to get it to WAIT for me to hit connect before actually trying to connect?
Hey guys, so im running the energy ROM on my tp2 and it works great, however I have problems connecting to secure wifi sometimes. WIFI Monster says I am connected, but Im really not. When i try to go to my comm manager and connect I get this message "Pocket PC Networking: Cannot obtain a server-assigned IP Addres. Try again later or enter an IP address in Network Settings."
Any advice? How do I go about finding a suitable IP address? I tried to renew it in the Advanced options from the Comm Manager, but it didn't work.
Noob in need of some help please thanks!
is there anyway I can connect my phone the internet through my computer? that could partially solve my problem. I tried using internet sharing but it says you need to tmobile data or tmobile internet as the Connection source (ie not the computer)

Yeah...when you're connected via USB/Activesync you can use the PC's data connection on your phone, you just have to enable that option in activesync or WMDC, whichever you use. The option is just labeled "allow data connections when connected via USB"

On your original problem connecting to a secure wifi network...did it give you the screen where you enter your network password? And is this a network at your home, or..?
Gee, thanks! But the first time it did (its my home network). I set it up to automatically put the WEP Key in and it rarely pops up anymore. When I try to connect at my school it never drops, if it does, I went out of the range of the wifi.
Also, I just enabled the data connection and it worked. Sweetness!
I just reflashed my phone to the New Energy ROM and it connected to the internet first try. Hopefully this is a pattern
EDIT: Im not sure if I would liek to keep it this way because it was really glitchy :\ ugh

Well at least you've proven that it's not a harware issue, and it's possible to get it to work. Before you think about flashing back to stock or another ROM, first go through all related settings and take note of what the NRG ROM set them to, it may just be matter of duplicating them all again when you get a ROM on there you're happy with
thanks for everything! its much appreciated.
Tried this with my home network. I've enabled data connection and used the HEX key to enter code successfully, but I always get error, "Could not locate remote server" when trying to connect to any website. Can someone please help me with this issue? Thanks.
Pretty much every time I try to connect to my home wifi, it keeps getting stuck on authenticating then it will fail and do it over again and again until it says network disabled, poor connection, even though it has a full 4 bars... I've tried turning it off and back on, I've tried forgetting it and redoing it, I've tried restarting the phone.. The only thing that seems to work is for me to unplug my router and plug it back in while leaving the wifi on my phone on. When the router boots back up, then my phone will connect. I would say it's something wrong with my router, but my other phone has absolutely no problem connecting.
Any help would be appreciated. Thanks
Edit: Oh yeah, the phone WILL connect if I turn the password off on my router. I am 100% sure I'm putting the correct password in on my phone, I've checked it numerous times, plus as I said, the phone will connect if I reboot the router every single time I want to connect, so the password is definitely correct.

Originally I was using the stock ROM on 4.0.4, now I'm using the most current CM9 nightly. Have the same problem on both ROMs.
Found a solution, set up my router so that the security is disabled, but so that only the mac addresses I allow can get through. Works perfect and no loss of security.
MAC Address Filtering is NOT secure!

One could easily listen on your network to scrape your MAC address, and then spoof it. I suppose one could brute-force WPA encryption too, but it's much harder.
You can always just set a static ip. Tap and hold the wifi network and tap advanced and change dhcp to static and go on your pc and find your ip by launching cmd and enter ipconfig. Then enter the info cmd gives you onto your phone but to avoid ip conflicts just change the end of the ip address to something else like 84 no devices usually use that.
Ive seen that issue attempting to connect to my own wifi a couple of times, and in every case it was caused by the wrong PW. I would reset the PW on your router so you know exactly what it is. they are case-sensitive so it could be that you mistyped a letter or two on either the router or your phone. you should also be able to connect using WDS iirc, assuming the router supports it (most newer routers do)
hi , i would to know why the wifi theter application doesn't work on my GN2??
before I had a GS2 and wifi theter worked very well, it has also worked with the GS3, but now with my GN2 it doesn't ??! any solution? needs a particular adjustment?? I expect your answer

Why is it not working? The menu isn't there? Are you on a stock rom?
if u r using an app, dont, could be the app itself having an issue, especially if your phone is not rooted, as most tether apps require root, try doing it through the settings directly and test it out, make sure u allow access to all devices (after you set a password for the AP that is), because if u select only allowed devices, you cannot connect even with a password
I just tried it with the stock app and it worked. It didnt at first, I entered the correct password I have chosen in win 7, told me limited access. The problem was coming from the type of security it wasnt the right one, in my case wpa2.

i have just rooted my phone ....
didn't custom the rom....
there a lot of choise in the setting , what i have to do to make it work fine..?
settings
->Wireless and network->More settings
->Network->Tethering and portable hotspot
->portable Wi-Fi hotspot ----> Activate swiping to the right --> Green showing
...it will show for 1s "Enable portable Wi-Fi hotspot..."
tap on Portable Wi-Fi hotspot
-->tap on configure on the bottom right corner
-->name your network SSID
-->choose the type of security you want (I recommend WPA2 PSK then choose a password, but you are free to keep it Open)
-->Save
... it will show enabling... for 1s
Finally you can search your hotspot from the device/computer you want to use it with. (be sure to right click on the network then properties to select the type of security the password is assimilated to)
Voila
i have the exact same problem...i can't make it working.. don't know why...in my case the other device can detect my phone and i already allowed the device mac address...the device is connected but to some point it cannot surfing the web.. my phone was also rooted and running stock rom

Go to Settings -> under wireless and network go to More Settings -> Tethering and Portable Hotspot -> click on Portable Wi-Fi hotspot -> Click on what is under the "Help" line, it should either say Allow all devices to connect or Only allowed Devices, if its set on the latter then switch it to Allow all devices to connect
This option doesn't mean that you access point is open to everyone, as it will only allow the devices that has the WPA2 PSK/password to use the AP, it just wont filter them based on mac address etc, give it a try, and see if that works for you.

Yeah ^^^ same question. Will carriers charge us extra for tethering??

Of course the US carriers will charge extra for this.
Thats what I figured, but there was no warnings whatsoever when turning on the hotspot about tethering fees..

Hi
I still have the PB : activate swipping right to ON is going back to off with message " non available data or SIM non valid"
Sim's OK double checked with carrier
Mobile data ON
So what's wrong?
Device GN2 Sgh-i317 AT&T, unlocked, rooted, stock Rom, using different carrier : not At&t
I would like to invite everyone to try if they have the same problem
For me, I have done a lot of testing, and I have found that, with any open WiFi hotspot (ones doesn't require wifi password to connect, with captive login or not), even G4 saved the network, half times it won't autoconnect.
When you go into wifi setting, the network is there, and there is an message below the nextwork saying:
"internet is unavailable, cannot autoconnect"
But if you tab it manually, it will connect and fine. I tested it with multiple hotspots and all have the same problem. I tried all different ways like delete the networks and re-add, nothing works.
Any of you have same problem please confirm below and let us know if you have found a solution, this is yet another ridiculous problem LG4 has and not fixing it, who are they to decide internet is available or not on a wifi hotspot?
my G4 is 812 10c
Any one encounter the same problem?
Yes I have this issue also. Don't know what would be causing the problem

Thanks for confirming,
Very annoying issue and I am surprised it hasn't be raised and discussed in here.
For me it is way worse than occasional touch issue
Any solutions will be appreciated

I can confirm I have the same issue with mine. Very annoying.
Thanks for confirming, again showing it's not an isolated instance.
Is this issue only for Hotspots? Or any Wifi device? I ask, because I don't see a problem with my WiFi router at home.

For me it is only for open Wi-FI (no password required to connect), the tend to be public hotspots.

That underlined bit is interesting.
so it seems this only occurs with open networks ie ones that don't require a userid/pass.
otherwise you have no problems connecting when there required login is required and is saved already.
eg. your home wifi ?
some more reading led me to this post.
My G4 doesn't have any problem with the open network at my work. It connects automatically as soon as I drive in the parking lot, if I leave and come back, as soon as I'm in range it re-connects just fine.

Have we considered this might be done on purpose as a safety thing?
You shouldn't want your phone/laptop connecting to any OPEN network automatically that you haven't vetted. This is how scammers skim passwords, etc., by offering 'free' wifi hotspots in busy areas.

Not quite, it happens on open networks that I have connected to before i.e. saved and as you put it vetted.
Connecting to saved networks that are passkey protected works fine.
Yes that's right, for me the network that requires password has no problem to auto connect
And the post you linked for refresh DHCP, I tested and it doesn't solve the problem

Then there is no problem here is there ?
I also have this problem.
To clarify, my situation is for open wifi where the provider redirects you to a webpage where you click "ok" or "accept" to proceed.
The first time I connect, it's fine. But, when my phone tries to auto-connect the next day, it gives the error described. So, I have to manually open up wifi connections, view the list, select the wifi name, and connect.
So it works fine after some manual intervention, but there is a bug I think in how the G4 handles these types of open wifi connections, once they are saved in the phone's history and you try to connect again later. So there is a problem here, but it's somewhat nuanced and easy to miss.

Your description sums up the situation well.
Doing what you want could create a problem of another sort. read this.
http://android.stackexchange.com/questions/64380/stop-wifi-connecting-to-open-networks
No this is not the same.
i only want G4 to autoconnect to network I saved before, meaning the one i have used before and want to use it again.
The problem you are referring to is having android auto connect to random networks, which of course should not happen.
Also G4 currently does not connect to open wifi that doesnt require login either. Even it clear have good internet connection, it wont reconnect, which is clearly a bug

see this is where it gets tricky, that post was referring to networks set up by a telco around the city. the ssid is the same its not a random network. This is exactly what you want.
you accepted it when you were in location a, now you are at location b and want to connect. so it should connect automatically ie no different than if you were to return back to location a.
You said home wifi works, so leaving wifi on, walk out of range and then come back in range and it connects automatically. And you expect the same behaviour with an open wifi that you accepted prior.
Way i understood it is that guy is complaining about what you want with open wifi
Thanks for clarifying.
I went back to re-read the post you pointed out. OP of the thread wants to block all the open wifi hotspots with paywall. It is not because he/she used one paywall network work in location A and doesn't want to use it again in location B. OP never used the paywall network (because it charges) and doesn't want to ever connect to it again, in that case, delete it from the saved network list should solve the problem.
In fact, Op also wants to use non-paywall open wifi, which is same as what I want here with G4. We both have the same need, which is auto re-connect to known, used, and trusted network. Here is exactly G4 cannot do and clearly having a problem. As I said before, even for network that is open, no paywall, and no log in required, G4 simply cannot auto connect, and claim "internet is unavailable", which is false and need to be fixed. Furthermore, even if there is a captive login, G4 should not refuse to auto connect before informing user so. While LG clearly has no problem sending tons of notification for their bloated LG smart notices, right now there is no single notice about WiFi auto connect failure, you will only discover the problem after you open WiFI set up page.
I copied OP's own words from the other thread FYI
"here are random open wifi networks everywhere that allow my Android to connect to their network but won't give internet access because there is a paywall"
"There are a wide variety of providers like BTOpenZone. I'd like to block them all, adding exceptions if I ever find a non-paywall connection"
