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,

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.
im having trouble connecting to wifi. my phone just hangs at obtaining ip address and then eventually fails. ive tried with many different wifi connections not just mine. all the same. Anyone else having this problem?
Yes same problem here.
It seems a general problem like the GPS.
I found out that depending of the router brand it works better (for example, no problem with a linksys).
To go arround the problem you can try this:
- go in flight mode
- activate wifi
- when you have a wifi connection (test with to browser) reactivate the phone
I hope it helps

Bring the phone back, and get a replacement. I have had no such problems with my Captivate.
I do notice that the WiFi signal isn't as strong as on my iphone's in the same area of the house though.
still not connecting.. maybe i messed up a flash with odin. i will try that again
the problem started when i flash jm5
problem solved reflashed
Hi, so here is my setup:
Darky's v8.0
Setirons 1.5.6
And Ive tried different modems, jk4, jl2, jl3
All of the sudden the other day, my phone stopped connecting to wifi. It will detect the network, then try to connect to it, then just stop and say "disconnected" and my wireless network will say either "remembered" or sometimes "disabled". Ive tried installing all 3 of the modems above, and each has the same problem, making me think it's something else. I also tried forgetting the network, rebooting, deleting the cahce, turning wifi on/off, data network on/off, and airplane mode on/off, and nothing helps. It was a really sporadic event and I've searched far and wide for a solution. Anyone have ideas?
this is what it does: I click "connect", it says connecting-disconnected. Split second change. Then it scans for a second, connecting-disconnected, it only takes a split second to change to disconnected.

I get this problem occasionally. Only thing that can fix it is a reboot.
Interesting, I have tried that. Is there any special trick the the reboot? As in... should wifi be on/off? do you have to "forget" the network before the reboot?
See if your phone can connect to another wifi point. That way you can rule out router issues. I have had issues with my router and wireless phones in the past.

I had that happen once.
I rebooted a few times, flashed two different modems, flashed Odin back to 2.1, then on to Cognition 3.03, and nothing...
...then I rebooted/reset my router.

Well, I just tried to connect to a random secured network, threw in a random password, and it would sit on "obtaining IP address" then just switched to disconnected, scanning, and started the whole process over. I just moved, but the problem started before I moved, although I'm still using the same router now.

I'll try it again, but like I said, I did just move so my router was definitely reset. But, doing it once more couldnt hurt =]
I had that problem with cognition 2.3b8, then I flashed to perception and the problem went away. May want to try reflashing the original rom and see if the problem goes away.

I planned on flashing a new rom later today, so I will check it out then. It just seems weird, this has happened to me before and it just fixed itself after a couple days... There must be something specific causing it.
Also, I can use MobileAP just fine. I think its weird that I can create a wifi network but can't connect to one.

[Q] Wifi signal?
Does anyone get a weak wifi signal with their Nexus S? Whenever I connect to my at home wifi I never get full bars and something I'll just randomly lose signal. Also it seems to go pretty slow. I used to have the Mytouch4G and it work flawlessly with the wifi. Anyone else having this problem?

OMG yesss I do.
Just about a room away I loose signal, almost completely. = 0
IDK, but I see more flaws every day that passes
Mine's been working fine over Wi-Fi. I'm pretty glad it does too, because my only data option with it is Wi-Fi..
Sent from my Droid using XDA App
Wifi has been working great for me. It reconnects automatically and doesn't drop. The signal seems on par with my nexus one.
Speed wise, is it on par with the 3G network?
[Q] Wifi does not work anymore after rooting :(
So, I unlocked my Android 2.3.1 and rooted it ... But if I click on wifi so I could connect to my modem it says Error and wont even search or anything. I tried reseting too but still no luck .. What is the problem and how to fix this ??
That's odd, I didn't have any issues with wifi as I connected to Android Market to downloaded ROM Manager during my rooting process earlier. Have you tried flashing a custom ROM on your device to see if it'll fix it?
No I didnt, would that work? .. A friend told me to install a new "kernel" but I dont want to overwhelm my android with custom made kernels .
your problem is you used one of the quick methods of rooting your phone, which used a kernel that wasn't from the exact rom you have.
if your on stock 2.3.1, you will need the stock 2.3.1 boot.img, and then you'll need to root it manually the long way via adb command line. search the nexus s development section for how-to's. they are all there.
i too had this problem, had to install MoDaCo ROM to fix it, but i dont regret rooting, i now have custom rom and over clocked cpu on the nexus s
you have two options, either to flash NANDROID backup to un-root and return to stock or install a custom ROM, i choose MoDaCo bcoz of its UI, it looks and feels just like the stock one.

Yes, that's the point of MoDaCo roms, to make minimal changes to the look and feel of the phone, but to improve performance with his custom optimizations.
[Q] Nexus S wifi issue. Unable to access wifi from my nexus s.
Hi Guys,
I was able to connect to my wifi network for a day. I am using windows 7 machine as hotspot with connectify. From second day I am unable to connect to any wifi network. I did factory reset my nexus s but no results . Can some one help me how to solve this issue?
Observations:
*when i use static ip, It shows connected but the bars are in white instead of green color and i am unable to browse.
*When i use dynamic ip I am unable to connect to wifi. It shows obtaining Ip and never connects.
*In connectify when I was able to connect to wifi the device is shown with an android device name. but now the device is shown as unknown.
Sorry for my bad english, I m not a native english speaker.
[Q] Nexus S Wifi Settings - force close
Hi all,
Just got a new Nexus S - all was well at home. Took it to work today and noticed something very odd. It was fine until entering the wifi settings menu - at which point it dramatically slowed down. I got two 'not responding,close or wait' messages before being able to join the network.... all other settings are fine - just the wifi area.
Weird - wondering what could cause this... too many wifi networks broadcasting (am in middle of London)...?
Anyone seen anything similar?

Too many WiFi around you shouldn't cause that.
Try rebooting and setting again if you haven't already.
Hmmm - rebooted and still have the same issue. At home, or even a block away from the office it all works fine. But in the office itself, although it connects and uses the wifi fine, the settings page is VERY slow to load and gives me the wait/force close message.
Out of interest - I also have 'wifi analyser' from the marketplace. This too is very slow and unresponsive when in the office.
So - it is definately something to do with the wifi here.... but have not got a clue what. Before I join the wifi, or when I am physically somewhere else it all works fine.
Wifi is WPA-TKIP, the key is a very long jumble of letters but surely that is not an issue.
Strange eh!!!

[Q] Possible WiFi problem?
Hi there, just bought a Nexus S, also used to have Nexus One.
The thing is for some wireless networks even though I enter the password correctly, it says connected and still there is no connection at all. (I mean browser tries to connect but at the end it says page could not be found) I even tried with an ad-hoc network that I created with my laptop but still the problem exists.
At home I'm able to my network without a problem. The type of network I'm trying to connect is: WPA2 Personal with AES. Is there any known issue about AES at Android system? Afaik there is no way to change the encryption used right?
this might actually not be a nexus S issue.
some modems/switches/routers are configured to block certain devices/applications/package's
we have a modem and router with both wifi.
but my psp/nDS cant connect to the modem,but can connect with the router

i have a similar problem. My Nexus S connects to my router only within a few hours after a router reset. Then it stucks at "obtaining ip" and never connected before I do another router reset.
My home wifi is WPA2 type, and for WEP type wifi my NS never got connected.
Hi lately i have been experiencing troubles with my wifi.
The router signal is strong and whenever i turn on my phone it will be connected in less than a few seconds but WITHOUT connectivity. (ie. the wifi symbol shows connected but i cant browse the net)
The only work around for this is to manually disable and re-enable wifi for my phone to be truly connected. (Which is very tedious)
I know this may be a router problem as well but in the past i didnt have this issue.
Im using HTC Mozart 7 - updated to 8107
I was wondering if anyone is having this issue too and knows of a solution to it.
Thanks
unplug the router and plug it back in (after 30 seconds)
Home routers are noted to stop handing out addresses at random times. Rebooting re-enables this so the phone can get an address and get on the net.
Hm my router is working properly. All my other devices are connected with connectivity. Whenever i turn on my phone, it also says connected (but without connectivity), so the work around is to disable and re-enable my "phone" wifi and then my phone is connected WITH connectivity.
To do that is quite tedious every single time... and it seems like a connection bug in my phone if all my other WIFI devices are connecting properly
Thanks
Hi guys.
I have the same issues with my Omnia 7 too. Started a few days ago. Cant sync emails, nor surf on my phone. It seems like itss connected to my network. I have my latop and other phone working on it like a charm. Any ideas?
Hi,
I have the same problem on my Omnia 7 and it all started after the 8107.79 OS Update.
The WiFi works fine when you first connect but after the phone is not used for a few minutes and I turn it on, it's shows as connected but I can't load any websites.
If I disconnect the WiFi and connect again it works fine
This is a serious issue!!!
I have also tried to restart my router but this didn't solve the problem.
Did you guys found a workaround?
Thanks!
Same here
I have the same problem (after 8107 update).
It connects to my wifi, and strangely sometimes (but that's rare) working, and get pages to load on, but then it shows the connection, but can't load any page in IE.
Also, reconnecting doesn't solve always the problem.
Any suggestions what to do?
After i have done a hard reset, and reverted back to 7740, i don't got any problem to cennect to my home wifi.
But the disappearing keyboard is really annoying, so i want the 8107 update features, but not the bugs of it.
Still no other one have problems with the wifi connection @8107???
We are 3-4 who got the problem, so i don't think its so user specific...
Another news
After reverted back to 7740 i decided to update one more time to 8107. (If something will go wrong then I have a backup of my Omnia7 with WP7 Easy Backup).
So i updated to 8107 one more time (no KK2 update arrived, CSC and PDA is KI4), and now the wifi connection works fine.
So try to revert back to an earlier version (with a backup), and then update again, maybe it can solve the problem
Yea.. but that is really random then... its like saying ur update is better than my udpate!! haha even though its the same material overall
Im sure more people have this issue as well just havent seen this thread
Hello ! I have the same problem with my HTC HD7 I have to take off the battery to let WI fi work again this is very annoying!! A fix for this please!!
Sent from my HD7 T9292 using XDA Windows Phone 7 App
count me too ! Omnia W
Not working - again
I've done a backup in 7740, so i reverted to it for 1 day, and there was no problem with the wifi.
Then i decided to give another try on 8107 - and it worked well for 3-4 hours. That was 2 days ago (as you can see in my earlier posts)
But now it have the same problem, connects to the home wifi, but after a while the internet is missing, however the connection remains! Can't load any page on IE and can't connect with any app that needs internet connection.
This is a serious problem, and i see that others have this problem too, so we should deal with it!
Any expert that know something about this issue?
HTC Trophy with the same WiFi problem.
I have same problem on my LG Optimus 7.
anyone with problems receiving incoming calls too? sometimes freezes the screen and have to take the battery out and put it again to reboot!
Same problem here with HTC Titan. The prob started after the 7740 update. Now running 8107. Turning the WiFi off and on again does work (thanks Mercea2) but, as he says it is tedious.
I'm having a similar (same?) issue on my Omnia 7 - the problem hasn't always been there though.
I've come up with a work-around - turn off 3G data while in range of WiFi, and turn WiFi off when not in range and switch 3G data back on.
If only one is turned on at a time, my people hub updates instantly. If both are on, it takes many attempts and a long time.
Seems like there is some issue switching between 3G and WiFi...
3G/wifi not working together
As someone said it before, the wifi keeps giving errors if 3G data connection and wifi is also turned on!
If i switch off and back the data connection switch (!!), then the wlan works again for a while. If i switch data totally off then works flawlessly.
Any workaround for that?
Maybe a homebrew, that can switch off data connection temporarily, if the phone is connected to a wifi network, and after disconnecting it will switching back. But I think if it can be done, than just on fully-unlocked roms (i have Omnia7, and unfortunately DFT SammyRainbow is not ready yet)
My wifi/3G problem started with the 8107 update (Omnia7, not KK2).
So any suggestions what to do?
Ok.... this is getting on my nerve... whats the point of having wifi on if it doesnt connect the moment that its suppose to!!!
Can we inform anyone about this?
Same problem here with HTC mozart after the update... worked for 2 days and then no more wifi
Hope microsoft put an update soon
