Wireless Not Listing Access Points

Hi Guys,
Had my Desire a week now and loving it, but have a small by very frustrating problem. Sometimes and I have yet been able to reproduce this consistantly, the conneciton swaps to data from Wi-Fi while asleep, when I wake it up the phone works fine and uses the data connection but wont re-connect to the wireless.
In settings it list no avalable wireless networks, if I turn the wireless on and off it says its connecting to my network for a second and then gives up and says not in range, there are 5 other networks that should be in range and it list none of them. I have tried an app from the market that scans wireless and it has the same problem nothing is listed as seen. If I set airplane mode on and off the wireless jumps back into life lists all networks and connects back to mine. This has happened twice at home (uses WPA/PSK) and once at work (uses WEP).
As I said I cant reproduce this all the time and its fine to use the data connection but dont know why I have to airplane mode in order to get it back, do you guys think its a hardware or software problem am I rebooting the wireless hardware when I toggle airplane mode but not when I turn just wireless on/off? Should I try factory reset or send it back for repair? Has anyone else ever seen this?
Edit:- Sleep policy is Never.
Thanks for any advice.
Dan.
BTW- Stock T-Mobile ROM, not rooted.

Try a factory reset first and see how it goes from there

Problem using Portable Hotspot after latest OTA

Hi guys
First thing my desire is unbranded and unrooted.
Ever since applying the last OTA my portable hotspot has stopped working.... I connect to a data network no problem, but when I turn on portable hotspot, I loose the data connection. I can see it trying to get the connection back but it loops for around a minute and then gives up with no errors.
My wifi has been fine since the upgrade.
Has anyone else seen this or have any ideas how to fix it???
Many thanks
David

I'm not sure this is the answer to your problem, but hey maybe it is the answer so someone else's problem
A Wifi device is either a client or a server - not both at the same time.
If you tell the phone to be a Wifi server, and it was connected to a Wifi network then that connection ceases to exist.
Next it will broadcast its own Wifi network for other devices to use. Those devices (and your phone) can then browse the web, send mail etc. using your 2G/3G connection, and they can talk to one another using local ip addresses handed out by the phone.
I hope this cleared things up, if not for you then maybe for someone else

Yup - experiencing an issue whenever I select "Press to turn on".. doesn't seem to do much of anything (beyond the Processing dialogue).. and while I get the Icon in the Notification bar there is no hotspot available. Can't configure it either..
similar specs on the phone... unbranded / unrooted

[Q] Wi-Fi Just Decided To Stop Working (Switches Off After 30 Seconds Or So) CM7

Hi All,
I am still lumbering on with an old HTC Desire running CM 7.07282011-Nightly and have had no real issues up until a couple of days ago.
Whilst in France (not that that make a lot of difference) the Wi-Fi access stopped working and the phone stopped being able to see any Wi-Fi networks. Basically, it switches itself off after around 30 seconds and cannot pick up any networks. In addiiton, the WiFi MAC address shows as unavailable although teathering via a WiFi hotspot works fine. I was switch between teather and normal Wi-Fi when the problem occurred.
If I go into Settings --> Wireless and Networks -->WiFi setting, then switch on the Wi-Fi, I get the "Turning on" message but then a Sorry warning saying "Application Settings (in process com.andriod.settings is not responding" and I can either "force a close" or "wait". If I wait, the Wi-Fi will simply switches itself off after about 30 seconds.
I did read in another post that this might be to do with the Wi-Fi sleep status but I tried all 3 options (from the menu in the Wi-Fi setting page) but that didn't do anything.
The issue appears to be that that phone has lost the Wi-Fi adaptors MAC address (says unavailable). However, I can still use Wireless Tethering and connect to to the phones WiFi hotspot. I think something has go screwy with the Wi-Fi tethering and Wi-Fi access (as I was switching between both when on my travels), but I need some help in trying to fix it.
Any Help Welcome
Chris

I tried updating to cm-7-20130301-NIGHTLY-bravo (whuch was the last release version), but still no joy.
Any help welcome

Well, after trying pretty much everything, I had to run a factory reset on the phone. Finally, my Wi-Fi is working again. Of course I now have the ball aching job of setting the phone up and re-installing all my apps again. Google restore is pretty rubbish
Looks like there must have been a config setting that got screwed somewhere. I did take a backup of the ROM and if anyone knows where this might be resolved, I wouldn't mind restoring.

[Q] One M8 Tethering issue

I looked all over the net but did not found anything on this,
So the thing is when I enable the hotspot my devices connect to it with no problem but the phone itself looses connectivity meaning the internal browser or any other app for that meter cant get network connection....
It was true for the stock ROM, I also tried the Viper, same result.
Now running the latest GPE ROM and the issue is gone, I do like the original version and want to get back to it so I'd appreciate any feedback
anyone else has that issue?
thanks.

Really? No one encountered this issue?

I found a solution just in case some one will face the same problem
the problem was that there was a special APN for modem use, and the phone would use it by default when in hot spot mode
the APN comes with the stock roms by the way, so I just deleted it and now it uses the default APN while in HS mode that way both the phone and the connected devices get network connectivity

Glad it's not just mine, I tether my M8 to my car HU. The HU connects to the hot spot by there is no data pass through. I've tried opening a web page on the M8 to force a data exchange but still nothing. This is intermittent tout very annoying when it happens.
Where in the menu do you alter these APNs?

I only have one APN. thats for my provider. Must be something else causing the issue for me.

Moto z2 play wifi issue

Hello, I have 2 Moto z2 play XT1710-07, one of them I've never "messed with", just OTA updates, the other one I unlocked, locked, etc,
Both have IMEI and are on Stock Pie PPS29.133-30 and both of them suffer from wifi drops when the screen is off / slow connection after some time.
I'd like to solve this, maybe downgrade to OREO or go to a NON-STOCK, or some other solution, whichever is easier.
Can anyone give me a hand please? Thanks guys!
PS: I have already tried factory reset, and also the "shut down wifi & bt search" solution, no go. (sorry if not the right words - Brazilian user)

Up, help please!

No one? ?

I don't have enough information to diagnose your problem. You should use the device help and see if there are any issues with your Wireless Lan adapter that way. Then you might want to see if the issue with the disconnects occurs while your phone is in Safe Mode. Then you also might want to enable Wi-FI Verbose Logging in the developer's options so you can get information about your WiFi connection. Which WiFI band are you connecting to? 2.4Ghz or 5Ghz? You could make sure that the developer option Mobile Data always active is turned off and then turn off mobile data to only connect via WiFi. You could disable all battery savers so that when the screen is turned off it doesn't shut off anything else. That's just some of the things you can try but it could be any number of things which causes the issue you have.

Thanks man! This is a VERY common issue on this Brazilian version, there is a GIANT topic on the official lenovo PT Forum, it's a major problem. I guess i'll have to go the a custom rom.
