WiFi question. - General Questions and Answers

Hi there. I have the Daxian x999+ when I got it everything was working fine.
Whenever I'd go in to wireless manager and turn on my Wifi it would detect at least 1 connection. Now all I get is unavailable. For some reason it's not picking up any WiFi connections that I know are available. My brother has WiFi in his home and I tired to do it there and nothing. I don't know what's wrong. I don't really want to do a master reset because I don't want to lose everything I have on the phone.
The WiFi will turn on and off, it just doesn't seem to pick any connections up in range...
Can anyone help? Thanks

I had the same problem and found the answer. Go to Settings>connections>WLAN settings>Power mode in power mode change the power save mode to Best performance instead of Auto. Once this is done it should work.
Stupid that it comes configured not to work out of the box. I was getting ready to return mine before I found the solution online. Hope it works for you.
thx man, i tried tht but still wont work, i tried keeping the bluetooth on as well... nuthing...
hey i'm kinda having the same problem..
i've read over almost all the threads on the board but just wanted to confirm..I have to setup manually a GPRS network in order for DATA via GSM to work? I'm in Canada and data here is insanely expensive so I only want to use Wifi. Just trying to make sure that it won't connect without me knowing it.
Also when the right LED at the top blinks green, meaning its connected to the network. Does that mean its connected for regular voice, or connected for Data?
Thanks guys. New but I hope to catch up fast with my new toy.

What you have to do is go to comm manager and press 6. Let me know if work. Good luck!!!
Hi,
I have the same issue, and Comm Manager the option 6 is grayed out and not available. Is that because I need the admin rights ??
settings-connections-menu-advanced.
the for internet choose whatever wifi access point that is saved in there.
Does anyone have the solution for this problem. I also have the problem that my s710 connects with my wifi-internet, but the internet itself cannot be used. I get the error "cannot connect the internet".
I have had internetconnection yesterday, the day that i bought the phone. But now, it doesn't work anymore.
thanks guys, it worked for me like a charme!!!

[Q] is my wifi broken ?

hi everyone
just got a Desire S this morning From Orange UK, but not sure if the Wifi is working correctly.
phone works fine as does 3G for downloading, however when i turn wifi on and connect it to the internet it stops 3G working on the phone and wifi doesnt apear to work either. I.e if i turn on wifi and then try and connect to the market place it gives a connection error. Also the same with the game Drag Racing, can race over 3G but if i turn on wifi, can not race over 3G or wifi says no connections.
I've also tried by turning the phone into airplane mode and then turning on wifi to see if that will connect but still can not use any apps that need internet connection.
Is this normal ?

Hi, i take it you have configured your wifi,
the phone will connect to whatever signal is the best if your in your home,but unfortunetley if you hold your desire s in both hands the wifi signal on these phones drops to nearly or none existant hopefuly they may be a fix soon have a read on here to understand more.

Thanks !
havent noticed any drop in signal, however i am sitting less than 3 feet from the router currently, its set up fine and can see an ip address and signal when i check the phone.
However i did try a software update check and it worked over wifi no problem at all.
I am wondering if Orange have set the phone so that it will only work on 3G for most applications as it comes with there "signal boost" app that sends phone calls over wifi.
I have had a similar problem with a Nokia N97 mini from them untill i debranded and re-flashed the phone.
Any recomendations to re-flash the phone ?

Signal boost app could you tell me more, im on virgin and have nearly zero mobile signal when in the house so maybe that might work for me,all i can suggest is turn off your mobile data in settings so it will only force connect to wifi, if wont allow its nasty orange forcing you as you said
and has for re-flashing its not as esay as the deire days iaf, you need to read up on here about locked boot-loaders, s-off etc,htc have had us over for now.
regards

its an app built in by orange that allows calls to be made over wifi if you dont have phone signal. looked in the market place and its not available to download on its own, on the orange website they call it Signal Boost (UMA), its more a gimick than anything.
turning off the mobile data side of things was the first thing i did hence why i thought wifi was broken. damn you orange !!

[Q] (Solved) Tethering issue

Hi folks, looking for some help.
I am able to connect my tab 2 to my home wifi no problem.
I have also connected it to my Galaxy s2 phone using wifi tethering.
What i have found though is that on several occasions when i am in work and try to tether to my phone, that settings will show that i am connected to my WI FI hotspot but i cannot connect to any internet pages. I recall many moons ago that when i sometimes changed modem connections on my home pc that i had to reboot everything to have the old settings forgotten and the new ones set. Does anyone know if there is something similar when you move from home WIFI as your last connection to WI FI Tethered hotspot as your new one. Is there something i need to do to have the tab or phone release the old settings and take on the new ones. Hope that is a clear enough explanation of my problem. Thanks for any help offered
Is this a one time thing or does it happen often? Are you rooted? rom?
Both phone and tablet are stock, no rooting done to either. It happens regularly, today again in work it happened. Had to forget the connection and reconnect several times until eventually I was able to connect to internet. Really annoying as it shows as wifi connection is strong at all times.
ps some additional info.
I had used the tab tethered to my phone in work to show case how good the tab was. I can get intrrnet connection no problem on my phone, the tablet shows it is tethered to WIFI hotspot, just when i click on an internet link, no page appears. It annoys the bejeezus out of me cos i know it should be simple. I even tried bluetooth tethering and it wouldnt work either, when it did previously. What i am thinking is that i had juice defender on both my phone and tab and recently uninstalled it as i had read there was no real benefit in using this with ICS. I am wondering if it has possibly screwed up some setting or other in the phone or the tab, i.e. maybe set something and then when i have removed the program, it has not reset something, yes that sounds pretty vague i know. Anyway, thanks again and thanks for any further suggestions. p.s. i may try reinstalling juice defender on both devices to see if it makes a difference.

I don't know if his will work, but, instead of tapping on the connection and hitting connect button, try pressing and holding down on the connection until a menu shows up. Try connecting from that screen.

You said both are stock and unrooted?
I would try rooting your phone and freezing tethering manager. If i recall right if tethering is not allocated on account, i beleive that the carrier can disable tethering through that app,i could be wrong but it may be worth a shot.
Or your could try a tethering app from the market, like PDA net or the tethering app from CWM also there is a tethering app on google code website.
let me know if that helps
Try Bluetooth tethering instead.
Edit: re read your post.
Try forgetting, the re-pairing the devices. It took several tries for me, or try fox-fi for your phone, and PDAnet for the tablet.

I had also removed avast virus protection as well as Juice defender from the tab. It seemed to be shortly after this that the problem arose, it may be a coincidence but i thought it may be some setting or other that had been changed. I hard reset both my phone and the tab but the problem continued.
In the house i could connect to my home WIFI everytime without issue, then if i tried to tether to my phone it would not connect. I would jump between one connection then the other and eventually it would connect to the phone.
Anyway, thats the history, now to what is happening now. The other day i read somewhere about putting tab in flight mode before tethering, so i tried this and it has worked first time every time since, so i am hopeful this is a permanent solution. What does surprise me is that the tab is not a 3g tab so i would not have thought putting it in airplane mode would make any difference but, hey it has so if anyone has similar issues it may be worth giving it a try. Good luck.

Wifi keeps disconnecting?

Hey, guys I just got my Pixel 2.
I connected it wifi but it keeps losing it. Only if I reset my router it will keep the connection for a while, but somehow when
I get to work or in the morning the same issue appears again. It connects but when I go to an app which requires wifi it drops.
I tried to change the channel but didn't work as well.
Restarting the phone won't help either. I also don't want to factory reset it since I want to keep all my data etc. I don't want to go all that bs.
Maybe I should have stuck with a new iPhone after all. Sorry for that comment, but I'm really frustrated
I don't want to give it back or some ****, I just want to fix it easily so I can move on. I hope I get some advice here.

this can help:
phone ::: Go to setting > wifi > advance > If there is Freq option then change it to 2.4Ghz
router (in case no option on phone) ::: go to Wifi setting of your router and disable 5Ghz. I can help more If I know model of your wifi router
:good:
I'm having the same exact problem as OP. I thought for a second I wrote the post. Would love to see if there's a solution. I don't see the option to change frequency in wifi settings. And this issue for me occurs on different WiFi networks.. so it's not just one router. Ugh!
Exactly the same issue here, which is what has lead me to this thread. It often happens that my phone switches to mobile data suddenly while working absolutely fine on Wi-Fi. I have tried almost every basic solution but condition remains the same. Also during that time it stop showing me my (saved) Wi-Fi in the Wi-Fi network available, while at the same time my same Wi-Fi is connected to all the other devices in my house. This needs a fix.
still no fix
