Right guys,
many of you are having issues with custom roms and staying connected to wifi even when the sleep setting is set to never.
This app has been bought to my attention and would like some feedback on how it works on our x10's, i already know there is a thread on it for the nexus one but can not find anything for the x10, if it has been covered before then i apologise and the thread will be removed.
i have been testing it and so far it has kept connection for me through various things, i can however only test it on my home wifi connection so we need more testers under differant conditions.
Can you please read documentation in the sttings once installed and when reporting say which settings you are using.
please before trying make a backup of your rom incase any problems but so far it as not caused any f/c's on mine.

Thanks to GreatBigDog for bringing it to our attention and steve.adams.x10 for your help.
Please give your thanks to the developers here not me- http://wififixer.wordpress.com/
cheers guys.
MAYBE FOUND A BETTER APP- try this one BLADE WIFI FIX, it seems to reconnect better on the x10-see how you go.
UPDATE- BLADE IS THE BETTER APP WE ARE HAVING GREAT RESULTS PLEASE TRY IT AND POST BACK.
At the developers request i have removed the apk for blade as he wants to keep a count on downloads, however it is still free on the market and i have been told there will be further support for it in the future-thankyou.
For me no I have had no force closes or any problems what so ever. I edited the settings within the app to disable WiFi sleep and turned off the screen for about 5 - 10 mins and I still had a connection.
The only small thing and I don't know if this is isolated to just me but I found that on booting up the phone it wouldn't connect to my network, even when I kept pressing connect so I disabled the app and when I got connected to the network I re-enabled the app and the connection is rock solid.
This app is free on the market place, just search for WIFI FIXER. An update is due soon apparently which is even better news for us.
It will be interesting to see how others get on but I strongly recommend this, esp as ire free too

I'm testing the app with the following conditions.
WiFi - on
GPS - on
BlueTooth - off
Sync - on
I have WiFi fixer app settings as follows in advanced options
Enable WiFi Lock - selected
Disable Sleep - selected
WiFi Sleep Policy - never
Nexus One Sleep Fix - selected
I'm currently connected to my Linksys work router that has WPA2 Security with encryption set to TKIP or AES. Later this afternoon I'll be connecting to my D-Link home router with WPA2 Security with encryption set to AES only.
So far I haven't lost connection but I did have 3 random reboots which I'm not sure are related or not.
Hi,
These are my settings i am using and so far no f/c's or have not lost connection,
phone- wifi on
- bluetooth off
- gprs on
- sync on
wifi fixer settings- wifi usability- balanced
- enable notifications- ticked
- enable wifi lock- ticked
- wifi sleep - never
so far looking promising and thanks for your input.
Just to add to Steve's findings that my wifi signal/connection is alot stronger, i can not lose connection walking down the bottom of my garden, 100m, when before it would lose signal near the back door.

I am using exactly the same settings as you. Does yours connect ok with the WiFi fixer enabled? Everytime I disconnect and then try to connect to my network it can't, it gets as far as obtaining the ip address and then resets its self.
When your connected its solid but it would be nice to have the auto connection working.

Right just disconnected my wifi in phone settings, then switched back on and it re-connected ok with no problem, it maybe took a tad longer but not much.
Have you put the widget on your homepage, you can switch on with that.
Hmm interesting, I just tried again. Turn off, turn on, scans, obtaining ip address, connecting then resets its self and continues endlessly unless I turn off the fixer and connect.
Are you using a static ip? I dunno if that makes a difference, I am not using static ip.
No not tried the widget iv been using the phone settings menu and power control widget

I am using static, have you tried the widget to re-associate and also what about the nexus fix, i think you have to have other settings set for the that ie advanced/disable sleep ticked-worth a try.
OK, Mine just disconnected. and wouldn't reconnect. It was OK as long as I was in range but when I went out of range and then came back in my wifi network just showed up as disabled again.
I tried using the widget set to reset WiFi and it just looped wifi on/off until I ended up getting a Force Close error on Gallary app of all things and then the phone rebooted.
-Edit-
Another reboot after selected the disable app function. I'm going to try different settings.
I've just disabled the Nexus fix, I'll see if that stops the reboots.

Hi GreatBigDog,
I have just walked down the street to lose connection and the same here, it will not re-connect, although i have no f/c's, using the widget did re-connect me and i have not lost signal once when in range.
It needs looking into abit more but could be a answer to our problems.
Atleast you two managed to connect initially, mine wouldn't even do that with the fixer enabled and I was less than 7 ft away from the router and had a very clear path ( no walls or ceiling in the way)
I'm gonna try and find another app for this cos its annoying me. All I can it credit for is making the connection not turn off on screen out for some time.

Hi,
reading through the known issues i have noted that wifi may become unusable, to do reboot or factory reset (samsung galaxy)
on nexus and a few others wifi sleep policy is ignored, caused by power save mode-says work around in advanced options.
cyanogen mod 6 made driver to fix this issues.
Hidden ssids, android is not able to work with wifi networks using hidden ssids.
reccomends not to use with a task killer.
I agree it maintains a solid wifi connection but i think there maybe issues with power save mode of our x10 and i do not know anything about the cyaaogen drivers.
Right guys After looking around for more answers we have found this app, again have tested it and seems to re-connect better, it works in the background with no settings but flashes a quick message up when fixing-see how you get on.
Right, left work and when I got home I picked up my home network without any issues. Took a walk down the road to get it to disconnect and it reconected again without any issues.
I wonder if it could be the difference in encryption between the two routers why it works better here.
Anyway, turning off the Nexus sleep fix solved my reboot issues.
I'm going to give the other app a try now.
Sent from my X10i using XDA App
For me blade WiFi fix definitely seems to work better and when connected it holds the connection just as well as WiFi fixer but blade is much more user friendly without the widget and does its thing in the background and it will actually automaticly pick up and connect to my network.
I'm struggling to make it connect now, but I am upstairs in my room the door shut and the router is placed on a table under the stairs right in the middle of my house.
I think this is the app we need not the other one purely because ease of use and much more user friendly.

Hi Steve,
Yes i agree, the blade wifi fix is much better and more user friendly. I have not lost connection once, i have rebooted my phone many times and it still worked and walked out of range it still re-connected. I have had no issues with f/c's and the battery usage has not been compromised so all in all looking good.
Can we have a few more testers report back please, greatbigdog is doing fine with wifi fix so it seems there are answers to this wifi problem and lastly this wifi is not only a issue to our x10 it effects most android phones even the nexus 1.
I've been trying blade WiFi fix since last night and it's been doing a great job for me, reconnecting without any problem even when going out of range and back in.
I'm now going to give it a try this afternoon with my WiFi sleep policy set to "Never when plugged in". I'll let you know how that goes.
-Edit-
Perfect!!!! My WiFi will now sleep and then reconnect when I wake the phone to use it.
Sorry for perhaps a dumb question but does sleep policy 'never when plugged in' WiFi will always stay on provided your charging the phone or got a usb connection? I'm guessing it means that but could you clarify for me please?

It means the WiFi will sleep when the screen is blank unless you are plugged into PC / Wall Charger.
For me the power savings more than offset the phone using my data plan for syncing when not in use as I'm never close to using up my entire plan each month.
Ok I see, thanks for explaining. Iv changed mine to that also now, I won't be able to test it for a good few hours when I'm back from work but il post my results.

[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 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.
I've been having Wi-fi issue's ever since i bought the phone, traded it in for another one, and still had the wi-fi issue.
MY WI-FI issue was:
My phone would connect to my router the first time, and if i restart my phone the Wireless Symbol is still connected, but there are errors not letting me connect to the MARKET, or the WEB BROWSER!
i'm very upset! but i do love this phone, and i hate that this one wifi issue is ruining it for me!
i dont want to keep on factory resetting it over and over again!
I don't want to:
ROOT It

WHAT CAN I DO TO FIX THIS? :[

I have this issue sometimes. I can get the wifi to work by:

2. Turning on 4G data
3. Turning off 4G data
4. Turning on wifi again
Hope this helps.
I had a similar problem. Wifi would show connected to my router, but it would only sporadically let me actually access anything (market and browser).
Then, by chance when I was trying to use the browser, I got a message that read: You do not have the correct data plan for this device.
I hit the chat support on T-Mobile. Apparently, a feature had not been enabled on my service. (My SIM was in my Nokia N900 before and it worked fine on HSPA+). The support tech enabled it and my G2x was working in 10 mins. Never had any more problems.
There was no charge and no change in my data plan -- it was just some config thing about my account.

If you are having WiFi problems with stock ROM, it is either your hardware (unlikely) or possibly an issue with your TMo account and/or SIM. I have had no issues with mine - either before or after rooting and flashing a few ROM's. I have My Account still working - no effect.
If you are looking to CM7 to make it better - not in the immediate future. I have it on another device, and a notable issue with CM7 WiFi is that it is not as strong or stable as stock.
You should get TMo tech support on the phone and have them address your problem. If a tweak to your data account and/or a new SIM doesn't fix it - you should demand a replacement phone.
All this assumes it is not problems with your WiFi Router - I have had a few issues with some where having more then one or two devices active caused connection problems.

I rooted the device, and removed carrier preloaded apps and made sure my wifi was set to not disable when the screen turned off. I had had issues with wifi calling before and after all that, the audio is crisp and the wifi rarely drops
work around
With a stock configuration you can clear
this problem when it occurs with
setdns app (free).
It restores working dns configuration.
When this is NOT sufficient you may also have to
disable then reenable your wifi. I installed a one-click
wifi on/off app (free) for this.
This is also necessary to force a reconnect when you
go in and out of a memorized wifi zone - it will rarely
reconnect automatically.
I found that rooting the device and freezing the bloatware
only improves the situation only slightly so I don't believe it's
worth the time.
This is at least the 4th wifi thread that's been opened and I've
posted this workaround before. Can we sticky one of these??

I am having a problem as well. It will work for about a min with barnicle and with the stock tethering then i just lose internet conection on my laptop says the device is still conected and still have the h+ on my device.
I did recive the blocked or terminated conection on barnicle i rebotted phone it worked for the min then same thing lost conections. turned barnicle off then back on when it started i recived the blocked or terminated connection as well.
Yay! Tethering is working on my phone......only issue is that the radio stays on even after tethering is disabled, but I was at least able to setup WEP security.
How did you manage to get it to work? I have barnacle up and running and see the wifi on my laptop and can connect to it. Only problem is, that I cannot access internet. I don't get any error messages or anything. It just seems to be a local connection and not routed through.
Any thoughts on that?
Thank you very much!
I used the wifi tether version
I had to adjust the settings a bit to get it working properly and to enable WEP security, but I have used this in my shop for over a week now flawlessly.
I added an advanced a task killer to remedy the problem I was having with it broadcasting when tethering was stopped.
The only issue now is that with the settings I am using, tethering starts with errors in the channel config. This doesn't seem to be effecting functionality at all....it just means that I am most likely locked into the default wireless channel.
Hope this helps someone. Thanks to everyone for their continued efforts!

So you can connect your phone to a wireless connection, it just doesn't download anything? In that case, have you checked the same wireless connection with another device?

Yes and Yes....im seriously stumped !
the only thing i can think is that theres some sort of wifi radio issue on my phone , but id have thought that would manifest by not connecting to the network rather than not pulling in data .
ive factory reset phone a couple of times and reset my router, no issues on other devices
think ill go back to the store for exchange as im not really prepared and shouldnt have to piss around with a brand new device
its a weird one
Have you tried changing the channel of your router? Try a lower number, like 11. Or temporarily removing any encryption and/or changing encryption type?
Did u try resetting your router? I had the same problem last night. Taught it was my phone. Ended up being my router. Go figure ;-p

Tried that....now at work and connects fine to the network, deffo must be an issue with my home network
Problem for me is that networks and the like aren't really my bag , ive had a look at the admin page on the router and can see its connected and theres nothing immediatly obvious that i could say "that looks suspect"
so im not sure what the answer is
all my other devices mac, pc ipod/phone and previous htc work well and have never had an issue

Set up static IP address on phone ..... Worked like a charm
I find the same, except I think it has to do with encryption. I have tried with wep and wpa and I get an IP address but cannot browse. On unsecured it works just fine.
Like you found a static IP works, but I think it is the static DNS that is actually the issue here.
This is a cumbersome workaround if you use wifi all over the place, so I downloaded Static Wifi which says it will store settings per connection.
The only issue with this is that I think the device has to be rooted for this to work
Have you tried using the opendns settings

Hi all
Perhaps we all have the same issue
I have the HTC Sensation with almost 2 weeks now and i am having one continuous issue.
I have wifi set up at home the phone connects ok,however i also have a TV/Video sender,when i need to use the TV/Video sender i have to turn off the wifi(not ideal).The problem occurs when i turn off the TV/Video sender and turn the wifi back on,the phone will connect with the modem but not to the internet,Facebook,Twitter,emails will not sync,while testing i have discovered that if i "kill" facebook and Twitter and restart the apps all is ok again i.e facebook,Twitter and emails all sync.
Does anybody have an idea what is causing this ?

I seem to have managed to resolve this by setting the security to wpa2 and i also altered the dhcp scope to force a new range of ip addtrsses higher up. Since I did that I've had no problems.
