WIFI problems after ROM update on ATT tilt
After installing the official ATT ROM update (1.62.502.0) on my ATT tilt I have
wifi problems. This was not present before installing the ROM update.
I can connect just fine to all access points with the comm mananger. However, when I try
to browse the internet, I get the message "Page cannot be found. Please check spelling and
try again". I get this message with all with web sites.
I know there's something wrong because this happens even on unsecured networks like airports,
coffee shops etc. Other programs needing internet acces don't work either (like the
weather update, Quick GPS etc)
Before you ask ... Yes, I have searched extensively before posting.
Okay, now that that's out of the way...
I noticied that others have experienced the same problem and I did found several suggestions
however none of these work . This is what I have tried until now:
- hard reset (1234) and soft reset
- flashed the ROM again
- flashed other roms
- flashed an other radio sign
- deleted the temporary internet files
- changed the browser settings
- disable / able proxy settings
- run again welcome.exe in the /windows directory
- refresch in PIE
- restored a sprite backup
Here are some (but not all) of the URL's where I found these 'solutions':

None of all this worked ...
I have been searching for days (and nights) now ... It's driving me crazy ...
especially beacuse the new ROM should provide 'more stability' accordingly to the HTC website ...
For me this new ROM only caused problems .....
Please help me.
Thank you, yours,

2nded for some interest... for what it's worth I'm runnin dutty's 4/29 rom. tried a couple radios no solution.
the only prob i have is that i cant connect to my homes wifi router..i can connect to any other wifi router...it used to work with previous rom but all the lastest roms i cant get it to browse the internet
volcom.. do me a favor... turn off your cell radio and try to connect to the internet using your home wifi router.. let me know what happens

weird.. I was in a spot where I had zero service and I connected to my wifi and it worked and it's been working ever since.
Something similar happened to me while trying ROMs, the 1.65.XX.XX radios do not work well with my WiFi router, it connects and gets an IP but does not transfer packets, after 2 minutes or so of trying you can access a page, but then it fails again, etc
This happens with 1.65.14.06 and 1.65.20.29 radios.
I'm running 1.65.16.25 radio now and it works well, GPS fix is fast, WiFi connection works, 3G and HSDPA work,
You guys might need to put the power mode of the wifi to performance. This is under settings.

Yes I know there's that setting. But I tested 1.65 radios while seated at 10 feet from my WiFi router and in direct line of sight. Radio 1.58.26.20 has very fast GPS fix, and connects perfectly to my router.
Radio 1.65.14.06 does not work well in any of those cases. Even if increasing the power of the WiFi solved the problem, it's much convenient to just flash another radio.
Hi Guys. You are the only hope for me to resolve the problem with WiFi on my device.
So the situation is: I received Motorola Defy with Android 2.2.2 on board not from a shop. This device was already hacked a little (root, localization etc..)
So I decided to flash CM 7 on it
I did everything as described in instruction. But after I have flashed this device I found that WiFi does not work. It began to work after flashing for a small period but then it stopped working
Device successfully connects to wifi, receives IP address but no application can connect to Internet. I tried to install some WiFi programs to try to resolve this problem, tried to switch wifi mode on my router (WPA2 AES/TKIP, WEP, no security at all) that did not help
Even pinging my router gives me "request timed out"
I wonder can I somehow investigate deeper into this problem to find solution for my problem? Or this bug cannot be resolved?
No any suggestions?

What's your phones MAC addres? It's there in WiFi settongs somewhere chances are its not a real MAC addy and your router doesn't like it, I thought that issue had been resolved just try a different Rom

No
I do not think that my router blocks my phone by mac address as if I use froyo 2.2.2 wifi works perect.
BTW if i use CM7 wifi also ok. I mean connection to my router. Phone receives ip address and this is OK. But internet connection is available only several minutes after flashing the phone. Then I cannot even ping anything from my android terminal
Exactly,
I have wifi issue on my latest 7.2 nightly build, too.
So, it looks like, phone wants to connect to saved connections (wifi status is connecting), but there should be status "searching", and stays on status Disconnected. Pushing Search button, do nothing.
When I delete few saved connections, wifi could do "search", and after that, i can connect!.
I think, there is critical numer of saved connections, when it is riched, then wifi can't do search, and connect to any host.
Try Airplane mode
Hi. For me going to airplane brought wi-fi back to life, and it stayed alive after turning all radios back on. Hope it works for you.
Check you WepKey, It is often that
hey folks, i got massive wifi connectivity problems, but only with a special wifi at college.
it's a 802.1x wifi, with EAP (PEAP) and MSCHAPV2.
i configured it correctly (for sure), as i can connect to it manually. but it is not stable, though i got full signal strength. it keeps on dropping after a few minutes with the phone sleeping... when i turn it back on i have to reconnect manually, sometimes i have to deactivate/activate wifi, sometimes it is enough just to connect manually again.
i tried some roms and kernels already, with no effect (arhd 3.1.1, insertcoin from 2.2.1 up to 2.4.3-2 and 2.2.5SSE; kernels were faux 0.1.0 - 0.1.4, bricked 0.2 - 0.4). also stock rom doesn't fix the problem.
i think it's htc based.. somebody else got this problem? is there a workaround availible?
Nobody? Bump...

Hi,
I think it's HTC based too... I've seen this problem with my HD2 and now the Sensation (definitely hoped it was only an HD2 problem but here I am again, looking for a solution).
The symptoms are that you see the wifi connected with, say, full signal, but when you try to open Google Talk or the browser or anything, no data can be reached. This happens particularly when you switch from one AP to another (e.g. walk across compass) or if you leave the network area and then come back.
Do we have similar ones? My school has a registered-MAC network that also doesn't work well with the phone, so I believe it's more to do with how the network infrastructure is set up. However, my friends with non-HTC devices do not report such problems. It's also possible that my similar program installs on both phones do some conflicting with networking, but it's doubtful...
Does anyone have similar experiences?
Edit: It'd almost be preferable for my phone to just drop wifi entirely when the connection fails, since it believes it otherwise has a connection, but everything time-out-s. Having it switch to 3g when it stops working would be preferable to having no networking and no push email or messages...
You can try going into wifi advanced settings and setting the wifi sleep policy to "never", and see if it that fixes it. My high school uses the same 802.1x EAP/MSCHAPv2 security and I also have issues with it, but I think there it's because of such a dense network of access points (there's an access point in EVERY room) it's more interference problems and the phone jumping from AP to AP rather than issues with the phone itself. Download wifi analyzer from the market and check the different access points and if their channels are overlapping and compare their signal levels. If the signal levels are close, the phone might be jumping from AP to AP like mine does.
Dropping WiFi
May not apply to you. But in my case, when I have the WiFi Calling App turned on, I will lose connection to my Home WiFi which is password protected. And when I try to re-connect I have to enter the password again. With out WiFi Calling enabled, I stay connected till I disconnect. Not sure if this would act the same with a different router or without password protection, and since I have a good signal at my house I haven't checked all possibilities.

Thanks for your reply!
I've never set wifi sleep policy to anything but "never," and I've toggled between "Best Wifi Performance" and the alternative of having that disabled.
I've hit in *#*#4636*#*# and looked at the wifi state. It continues to say it's connected with COMPLETED Supplicant State and a valid IP address. Ping test, of course, fails, when this happens.
This happens for me both with mac-registered (insecure) networks and 802.1x networks on campus, but I've found that wifi is rock stable on most home networks, for example...

It might just have to do with the access point interference. I know that my phone has trouble handling the access point switching, regardless of the phone or ROM. My old 3g slide did the same thing. If it only happens on 802.1x networks and it happens on every ROM (which I'm 90% sure it does) then it's probably not something you can change.

I understand that, but the part that gets me is that my roommate's Galaxy S has no such problems.
I've tried many different ROMs when I was on the HD2; I'm hoping I won't have to go through that again!
Oh, then maybe it is a phone issue. I always thought it was just android but I've always used HTC devices. I don't know exactly how 802.1x encryption works, but if it's on a hardware level like some encryption algorithms then it could be HTC specific.
It's definitely a HTC problem. Friend of mine doesn't have such problems as well, he has a SGS2. Everything is configured like it should be, WiFi drop on "never", as already witten in the first post.

That sounds great! Let me know if I can contribute as well (logs? something else?).
I was worried it has something to do with the custom kernels we're all using (i.e. power modes for the wifi and such, but I did edit an HD2 kernel to turn that off and it didn't work). Since show-p1984 is thinking about this now, I'm sure he knows what's up with everything kernel=related to wifi...
When I have time, I'll definitely try a stock ROM again to see how it goes, since there aren't as many complaints about this problem as I'd expect there to be (i.e. ... maybe only us custom ROM users may have this problem with certain wifi infrastructures)...
Hello!
Not sure if anybody's still interested in this problem, but I tried the EU stock rom and it didn't change matters.
Basically, moving around campus makes my phone drop the internet connection on wifi, but not the wifi connection itself. Again, this doesn't happen on Samsung phones, and cycling the wifi fixes this problem.
See attachments for what shows up; it looks like after cycling I get a new lease and it works again.
So do people think the latest bricked kernel fixes this issue?
Unfortunately it doesn't. But at least we have a kernel dev who is aware of this problem. I got no doubt that it'll be fixed one day ;-)

Still no change... As it's a driver of the wifi module, maybe it'll never be fixed at all. Anyways I hope, that maybe with the ICS update a change will come. Also there is show, who is aware of it.

Hello everybody, this is my first post here but I have been reading the ViperS threads in the development forum since version 2. Awesome rom, I really like it.
However, I have encountered an issue with ViperS 5.1.0 . I would like someone else confirm if this is happening on his sensation too (with ViperS 5.1.0), because its a very annoying bug, and a potential security flaw.
A few days ago I installed ViperS 5.1.0 (from full wipe and no restoring of backups, clean install), and shortly afterwards I noticed that my home computers in my LAN (ethernet and wifi), where having some kind of little micro-cuts in communication with the internet, especially noticeable with google and youtube autocomplete feature and things like that. The communication completely stops for a few seconds, then resumes and works perfectly until a couple of minutes (sometimes less), and it happens again.
I checked my network with a packet sniffer, and found the culprit to be the Sensation. This is what happens:
I have wifi set to always active on the phone and, when the phone is left suspended with screen off, after a little while it begins to send bogus ARP protocol broadcast packets announcing that it has a random (and incorrect) IP associated to his wlan mac. It repeats it again with several other random IPs over time, and sometimes it also says via ARP that it has the same IP as my home router. In that case, it causes all computers and devices on the network, to try to access the internet via the Sensation's wlan card mac, which obviously fails, causing the micro-cuts. After a few seconds, the router sends the correct ARP information and the computers can access the internet again. This is very similar to an ARP spoof attack, but I can't see why the phone is doing it.
It's only happening with ViperS 5.1.0. I have tried disabling ad away and also tried to connect with a fixed IP instead of DHCP, but it keeps happening.
I have attached a screenshot to show the problem.
PD: On other subject, the wifi is buggy when changing access points in the same WLAN (I have 2 APs at home), it turns off, activates mobile data, and then turns wifi on again, taking a long while to do it. In ViperS 3, it just went from one access point to the other without disconnecting. This is a secondary thing, I can live with it, but I thought I should say it just in case it's a easy thing to solve for the devs.
Thanks for your time! I really appreciate your work. :good:
I have been trying to do a packet capture in the phone, and tried to find something in the logs, but I can't see anything. Could this be related to the wifi drivers? Since ARP protocol is in link layer, I can't think of anything else.
Also the other day I connected to a wifi network in other place, and it completely crashed the router, no one else could connect.
@ivicask , I would really appreciate it if you can have a look at this. Because of it, at the moment I'm using mobile data only even at home, and I'm going to use it up pretty quickly
Thanks in advance :good:

I have been using ViperS for a while, and I it certainly isn't ARP poisoning the network.
Try setting a static IP (set it to that alloted by your DHCP) and see if the issue persists.
Happy to help.

That's the first thing I tried, it didn't help.
I have googled it and seems there are some problems with the ARP offload feature in the wifi chip drivers, and several phones have suffered it, the nexus 4 and some HTC devices. A lot of people have reported it in the google code forums.
The thing is that it didn't happen to me in previous ViperS 5.0.0, so something must have been changed in the rom that it's causing it. Do you know where I could look? Maybe it's just something wrong in a config file and can be easily solved.

ok im posting it now, can you get a logcat to supply to the devs please?
Yes i saw this, but as only person with this problem, i didint investigate. There can be many reasons this is happening to you, but most likely its problem in your own network/routers. My suggestion is first try updating your routers firmware, if there isnt new firmware, just try resting them to factory default and re configure them. I have actual experience with this, my DIR-655 couldn't connect in wifi N mode until i reseted it.
Also HTC ONE users had problems with Dir -655 where it would reboot if HTC one would connect to it (Firmware issue).
Also from your pics i see "duplicate use of 192.168.1.1", are you running 2 routers on same network with same ip address??Than this is the reason of your problems, you cant have 2 devices with same IP in same network, even worse will happen if those 2 devices are actual routers, or even worse if both of them are running DHCP.So re-check your network, make sure only 1 DHCP is running, and there are no devices with same fixed IP address.
Also here are to 2 tests for phone with different wifi supplicant versions, try them ONLY after you make sure your network is fine.

Thanks for your answer. The "duplicate use of 192.168.1.1" is exactly the problem, I know that (I am a telecomms tech, I know how this works )
The matter is that the device that is claiming to have the same IP as the router... is the Sensation! See the "source" column in the pic.
I have only one router. Everything is properly configured in the network, the issue only appears when the sensation is connected to wifi AND with screen off. Then it starts sending the false random ARP packets.
Apart from the "router impostor" packets, there is also the problem that over time the other random packets will fill up the ARP tables in the router memory, causing it to hang, although this hasn´t yet happened to me.
In the threads I saw in the google code forums, people reported the same thing for the nexus 4 and several newer HTC devices with the same broadcom chip, (which also caused notification delays) and said that it disappears when disabling "wifi optimization" (with the rise in battery drain that it implies) , which looks like a bug somewhere in the wifi drivers. Unfortunately, disabling that option does not change anything for me.
This has started happening in 5.1.0. Never had such a problem before.
Thanks for the files, I will try them and report results.
Except for this and a weird bug with h/w accelerated videos screen corruption when free memory less than ~90 mb, the ROM is absolutely awesome :good: . It feels much faster and lighter than previous versions. You devs are doing a very good job :good:. HTC should hire you!
OK, problem solved. The test2 file solved it.
With test 1, it stopped sending random IPs in the ARP packets, but instead claimed to have 0.0.0.0 always, and not the correct IP. Also, it couldn't see channel 13 which I'm using on one of my access points (probably region was set to USA in this file).
With test 2, the ARP packets report the correct assigned IP (via DHCP and fixed), it can see all the wifi channels, and everything works perfect. It also appears to be changing from one AP to the other without disconnecting the wifi. This is the correct way it should work.
Still don't know the need to send the ARP info each 15 seconds , but at least now it's correct and there are no problems.
Thank you very much for your help @ivicask , I have seen that the wpa supplicant in the files you posted has an older date, is it just an older version or have you changed something in them also?
Will you include this fix in the next version of ViperS?
Thanks again :good:
Same for me. Killed my router. Especially if downloading at high speed. My router went upp and down. Now I have on other phone and my senny runs stock. No problems att all.
Flashed Viper to check 3min then router died. (it reboots)
Thanks
I couldnt neither write in the original post. By the way, i have the same problem with my wifi conection.
Now i solved it with Test2.zip. I have european wifi too and my router see fine now.
Thanks a lot for this rom and the help.
I didn't notice any particular issues with my WiFi, but I was having the disconnecting behaviour when switching between APs.
The Test2.zip solved this.
More, I tested the received power with Netgear Wifi Analyzer in an already tested place in my home. After applying the Test2.zip it looks like I gained ~10dBm. Maybe it's just something casual, but I wanted to report.
Last. The wpasupplicant file in the Test2.zip has the same modification time as the one in ViperSC2_3.1.4, so I think it has been taken from there
Good job anyway :good:

Did you manage to resolve your wifi problem?
I bought the Moto G (2015) 2GB RAM / 16GB ROM for my wife and she's having problems with the home wifi. It often says there is a "connection error" and loops to try to connect again and then fails. Her work wifi seems to function ok.
Having read about similar problems with older moto gs, people recommended (1) turning on and off airplane mode. (2) changing channel number of router.
Both sometimes work and sometimes don't. But it's not really a permanent solution. I'm a bit reluctant to do a factory reset and reinstall everything if it won't resolve the problem. The device came with the latest firmware already installed (5.1.1) and I haven't rooted or unlocked bootloader so should be a pretty clean install.
Anyway, would like to hear that factory reseting could resolve this issue or not before trying.
Thanks for any advice!
Mine does it every now and then. I just unplug my router, wait a minute, plug it back in, and then it connects.

Yes. It works for me too. But what happens if you're on a public or work wifi where you can't reset the router? It doesn't really seem like a long term solution.
Is this a standard problem with this phone? Anyone else have a similar problem or preferably a solution?

Yeah resetting other than home router is not the answer. It's an Android issue as all my phones do it from time to time. I haven't been able to figure it out. The other "fix" if you can't reset the router is try going into the Wi-Fi settings, and forget the network/name, and then add it back as new. It takes longer, but it could work for you. That's how I get around it when connecting to work when it won't auto connect.
Hi, I had also faced the same problem with a open wifi network which is free for 15 mins ..
Other than that one ..i had every router connected to my phone..
I was thinking the problem is not in your phone.. It's in router which might be old ��
Because old routers will have 802 a or something which are in compatible to some phones..
Or the router is not allowing your phone to get connected.. As your phone is latest and it has advanced protocols inscribed in it..
Do one thing.. Shed some light on this now :
1) router model (if known to you)
2) phone models which got connected to that router and it's operating system version (like 5.1.1)
And there is also one more point.. I found our phone might find problems connecting to 5ghz band router ..while it works fine for smaller routers like 2.4ghz
We can decide when you dig some info about the questions I mentioned...
We will get answers
Just turn off wifi and then turn it on it will fix the problem

You would think it would be that simple, but it's not. It just sits there "Connecting", then nothing, then "Connecting". Keeps cycling like that.

Hi, I had also faced the same problem with a open wifi network which is free for 15 mins ..

My router is a netgear CG3100Dv3 (using WPA2-PSK [AES] encryption) and uses 2.4 GHz. I don't think it's the router's fault though because I've had many friends connect with a variety of phones and none of them have had the problem before. I currently have a Oneplus One (android 5.0.2) and have used a Nexus 4 and Samsung Galaxy S (1) on this router without problems. Maybe it's a problem with android 5.1.1 as I guess not many of my friends have it yet. I've written to motorola support but they still havent got back to me.

It's an Android issue as all my phones do it from time to time. I haven't been able to figure it out. The other "fix" if you can't reset the router is try going into the Wi-Fi settings, and forget the network/name, and then add it back as new. It takes longer, but it could work for you. That's how I get around it when connecting to work when it won't auto connect.

Strange. I've never had a problem before with wifi. Maybe I've been lucky until now. Yep - have tried forgetting and reconnecting to wifi signal. Again, a temporary solution that will quickly become irritating when there shouldn't really be a problem for such a simple operation.

It's a temporary solution but a pain in the arse if you have to reset the router every few hours. And as I said before, what happens when you can't connect to a router which you can't reset? (i.e. public, work)
Change the router's channel, then refresh the wifi in the phone.

Firstly i agree that our Moto G has some kind of issue with some routers.. but there will be solutions for them from the ROUTERS POINT OF SIDE to make it work
i have read about your router .. Things i suggest (if you have already done them then let me know )
1) your router has option to change MODE to get speeds more than 150mbps.. try changing that 802.11 MODE , restart your Phone and Router and also keep CHANNEL to AUTO , try changing the security WPA to others also..
2) your Wifi of your phone will have a MAC address , copy that and paste in your Router to allow this device..
i am still finding info on your problem..
the reason why i think your Router can solve the problem is : i had once read about 802.11 b/g/n/ac types.. i am getting a doubt that they are the ones causing the problem.. if you are aware of it
have a look at this bro once : http://www.smartmobilephonesolutions.com/content/cant-connect-to-wifi-on-android-smartphone
in this he said that Wifi fix apps can solve the easy problems..:highfive: , hope you find solution

Hmm. That doesn't sound promising. Will they sort it out with the next firmware update? Are motorola even aware there is this problem?

Ok. Will change channel to auto mode. It was already on "up to 300 Mbps". Will also put MAC addresss in the router.
However this still relies on having access to the router. What happens when you don't have access. If this is going to happen on many routers then I prefer to return the phone and buy one which never has this problem.

I'll give a wifi fix app a go to. But they just seem to automatically delete known wifi SSIDs and passwords.
Another option would be to root and install new ROM and radio, but would prefer not to.
It seems like a lot of Nexus 5 users on 5.1.1 are having wifi problems too:

Anyway, thanks for you advice!
Just a quick update if there is anyone else reading this thread with a similar problem.
I changed the channel mode to auto and that has seemed to fix the problem. The moto g seems to connect without problems now. I didn't enter the MAC address nor used a "wifi fix" app so far.
Fingers crossed...
I have the same problem. Wifi just stops working and had a ! Symbol beside the wifi icon. I have probably had a 100 phones and devices connected to this router without a problem. I have changed a bunch of settings the router and it didn't help.
Disabling wifi off then on works, but that is no solution. I will try anther Rom or kernel. I am on resurrection 5.1.1

My problem was slightly different in that the phone wouldn't even connect to the wifi signal. It would cycle continuously between "connecting" and "authentication error".
Does it work with other routers?

Thanks for your help! I'm still a little wary that the phone will have problems in the future on other routers, but it's a good enough fix for now. Hopefully a later firmware update will sort it out.
Unfortunately, my wife took the moto g on a business trip last week and could not connect to any wifi signals (her colleagues did not have a problem).
Not sure what to do now. I'm in contact with motorola support but they don't have any suggestions yet (apart from blaming the router - which has never had a problem with any other devices!)

Well I just emailed Amazon and they're sending a replacement. Hopefully this will solve the problem
