[Q] wifi problems and some related questions

Hello
i have a htc desire gsm
and im running cyanogen mod 6.1.1 with radio version 32.49.00.32U_5.11.05.27
i have the following problems:
i can connect to networks without a problem, and the connection seems stable and fast
but reconnecting is a problem, if i disconnect from a network, by disabling wifi or moving out of range, most of the times the wifi does not auto reconnect. it just stays as remembered and disabled. if i then click on the saved network it connects fine.
sometimes it has to connect two times to get a conenction, looks like connecting, then searching then connecting in the wireless and networks config screen.
its not a big problem but annoys me as hell
on the other hand i have one network, protected with 802.1x eap (ttls and pap) its the configuration where you need to input username and password and use a certificate.
with this network i have connection problems, connection works 1 out of 4 times and if not then i have to redo the whole config. this annoys me even more because the network is unusable for me most of the time.
and
today i had the problem that the wifi conenction dropped regularly, connected, then came scanning which disconnected my wifi and then reconnected. and so on.
wifi settings even force closed then
had to reboot, after that was fine. lets see for how long
i have googled around but never found an answer or fix for this.
so can anybody help me here ?
and i have some related questions.
is there an app that can show me only wifi and related logs ?
is wifi connection related to radio version ?
where are the wifi settings located ? like saved networks and so on ?
thx in advance

I also have that auto reconnection problem. Waiting for a fix for that.

Does it manifest exactly as I described it or in some other way?

Intermittent wifi connection problem

I have an annoying problem with connecting my Desire to my home wifi. When connecting the wifi symbol appears within a few seconds but sometimes it won't actually transfer any data for up to a minute. I'm currently using DevNull 1.0.4 with radio version 32.44.00.32u_5.09.05.30_2 but have had the same problem with some other custom ROMs.
My router is a Netgear, using WPA2 encryption and the SSID is not hidden. My laptop always connects within seconds, so I don't think that's where the problem is.
Installing Wifi Fixer does make it connect much faster, but a few times I've seen it fail the ping test and then reassociate before it connects successfully. Trying to Google this has not turned up anything terribly helpful, partly because I'm not sure how to phrase it.
Can anyone suggest what might be wrong and how to fix it? Wifi Fixer does seem to be doing the job but I don't think I should have to have a third party app to make my wifi work.

Update your radio to 5.14.05.08 or what ever the newest radio is. Also, go into your router and change the wireless channel settings.

Might have something to do with the default setting that HTC applies to the wifi connection I'm not to sure on the exact figures but from what I gather HTC set the minimum wifi connection quite high I know that I used to drop my wifi connection a fair bit on my desire HD until I used leedroids kernel and my connection is much more stable now

Thanks guys. Updating to the newest radio didn't help, so I tried 32.54.00.32u_5.14.05.17 and that does seem to have made a difference in that several times over the course of the evening I was able to connect with no problems. I'll also look at the wifi channel, is there a particularly good one to use or should I just use wifi analyser to look for a channel with no interference?
I doubt it's a default HTC setting as I'm using DevNull which ships with one of Thalamus' custom kernels, but I'm grateful for any suggestions.

I have a
HTC DESIRE A8181 (OEM unlocked)
Android: 2.2
radio: 32.44.00.32U_5.09.05.30_2
What's been done to my phone: last night & this morning (no sleep yet )
Rooted using Unrevoked
S-Off with Alpharev
Still like to flash an upgraded RADIO & RUU Rom
the problem i have:
NOTE: this was before last night changes (6 days ago it started)
basically i cant WIFI to my modem
my pc's are all ethernet cable but my modem leaked enough if i was next to it (at my main PC) i could wifi connect with my CP to update / go on to the android market etc etc.
Only if i was sitting close to my modem/router
i have this MODEM/ROUTER Iconnect 624W
SETUP: will give you an idea on settings.
http://support.onthenet.com.au/internet-setup/broadband-setup/opennetworks/iconnect-624/
THE FIX: THIS IS IN THE MODEM/ROUTER SETTINGS.
in "wireless setup"
i followed above instructions in the link - mine was basically setup SSID etc EXCEPT my CHANNEL B/G was set at 1 i changed to 4
i changed this setting after 6 attempts of connecting with no success i personally think this B/G setting on 1 was my problem. until i changed it to 4.
in "wireless security"
i followed above instructions as above again. SSID as above preset & just entered my "PSK STRING" (your password here)
saved etc as in the guide.
turned CP off & back on done a scan it picked up my modem entered the PSK STRING password
fixed & i can get internet in the back yard or any room now on my CP's
.

Well I've changed the channel on my router and the problem remains, it turned out that changing the radio hadn't sorted it. Still stuck with wifi fixer...

Wifi network not found

Hi.
Since a few weeks I have a strange problem with my Wifi connection.
When I'm at home and turn on Wifi everything works fine for some time and my M9 connects to my Wifi. But after some time (haven't found a rule, sometimes after 1 hour, sometimes after 5 hours, etc) the wifi connection is lost and my network is no longer listed in the list of available networks. It also seems like the list of available networks is getting shorter the longer wifi is turned on.
If I turn of wifi and turn it on again after a few seconds my network is found immediately and the phone connects without any problems.
I'm not 100 percent sure but bluetooth seems to have almost the same problem and the phone no longer connects to my smartwatch until i turn off and on bluetooth. Sometimes it is also ok to turn off and on bluetooth to get my wifi back running.
The problem started to exist on lollipop and is also present on mm. I already did a factory reset but it didn't seem to help.
Anyone experiencing the same problem or has any clue what it could be? Maybe a hardware problem?
Kind regards,
TeQuiLLaXY

Perhaps a router problem ?? Or a service provider issue with WIFI ?
Does the device connect with other WIFI signals other than your primary signal ?
Just a few other areas to check beyond the device that can be overlooked...g

Hi gregsarg, thankfs for your reply.
The router doesn't seems to have a problem since other devices have no problem to connect to it. Service provider has nothing to do with wifi, the phone is not connecting to the wifi it has no problems accessing the internet via wifi when it shows it's connected. Also the connection can be established as soon as i disable and reenable wifi on my phone for about a second.
I don't have access to the other networks that are around my home so I can't check if it connects to other networks, it's just strange that the device does not show my network in the list of available networks after it has lost connection. If I disable and reenable wifi on the phone it immediately shows my wifi in the list of available networks. SSID is not hidden...

Could be hardware related...
And you could RUU back to stock and test again to rule out a software issue...g

WiFi issues: can't connect to any network anymore [T800]

In the last 6 months or so I have been experiencing frequent wifi issues, regardless of the custom ROM I'm using. Usually some time after a new installation I am unable to connect to the networks I normally use (my home network and the one at work which uses a proxy server). No matter what I do (clear cache, factory reset, change ROM...) the problem persists. In settings a number of random messages are given: secured, disabled, authentication problem, etc. Every now and then I can get a connection (never at work though) but it doesn't last long. Any help for troubleshooting this would be appreciated. I hope it isn't hardware failure since I'm still enjoyng this tablet after all these years!

Mine started having wifi issues off and on a couple of weeks ago. The wifi started to not turn back on after waking it up, at first just in manually turning it off and then back on seemed to work. Last Friday it just wouldn't stay on at all. I would go to the wifi in settings, it sometimes would get stuck saying turning on. I finally did a factory reset on it, it at first seemed to fix the problem, even spent a couple of hours trying to get everything set back up. Then the problem returned, it just keeps turning the wifi off, if i can even get it to turn on at all. I was going to try and use my phone as a hotspot through Bluetooth (not sure if i can or jot, never tried before), but even the Bluetooth won't stay on. So Sunday, after spending way to many hours fighting with it, i went out and got a new tablet.

Have you tried using the Samsung Kies app to flash the latest stock rom, Dont use Odin or other non Samsung approved flashing software.
I have had my T800 for over 4 years and had no real problem with the wifi connection, But i have heard that there can be compatibility problems with some wifi routers, Also try changing the channel number on your router, Auto channel was giving me poor connection on my PC, I ran the inSSIDer wifi app and it said to manually change my wifi channel to channel 1 the clearest channel as other wifi and bluetooth and wifi dongle even you smart gas/electric can cause interference., auto was picking channel 13 for some reason and it fixed my problem.

Thanks, but since it's the router at my workplace there's not much I can do on that side. Question is, are there any specific steps I can take to verify if it's software-related or if the wifi module is just gone?

Wifi and Bluetooth both use the 2.4ghz frequency, So they can interferer with each other and can cause constant disconnect`s, I have seen this many time, Use 5.0ghz on your T800 if you can, Or disable Bluetooth.
Does your wifi work OK on other brands of router?, Or is it just the one you are using at work.
John.

It's kind of tricky to answer: let's say the times this issue appeared it always stareted at work, but then also at home I couldn't keep a stable connection. Once the problem starts, I get no connection at work at all and very difficult connection at home (meaning it does connect intermittently).

UPDATE. After other attempts and a complete restore of stock firmware, I have both wifi and bluetooth not working, constantly "turning on...." but never activating.

Issue connecting CCA

I have a CCA which was working wonderfully till now.
But, I am facing issues recently. It won't show up n streaming option on my any Music Apps, not on my Android Phone or PC. It also shows as unavailable on Goggle Home app.
For a few weeks it was hit and miss regarding it showing up as an option. Now it's totally missing. Can anybody help please?
One of the reason might be change of WiFi Modem/Router due to change of provider. But, I am not sure. Any particular setting to check in router?

If you changed your wifi network name or passcode, you will need to reset the CCA and set it up to the new network.

It's possible that the issue you're experiencing is related to the change in your WiFi modem/router. It's also possible that there could be other factors at play. Here are a few things you can try to troubleshoot the issue:
Check to make sure that your CCA is powered on and properly connected to your network.
Make sure that your CCA is up to date with the latest firmware.
Check your router settings to ensure that the CCA is allowed to connect to the network.
Restart your router and CCA. Sometimes, simply restarting the devices can resolve connectivity issues.
If you've recently changed your WiFi modem/router, try restoring the CCA to its factory default settings and then set it up again from scratch. This will help to ensure that the CCA is properly configured for your new network.
If you've tried all of these steps and are still having issues, it is necessary to contact the manufacturer of your CCA for further assistance. They may be able to provide additional troubleshooting steps or identify any underlying issues with the device.
