[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..

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.
Hey guys - im new to the G2X section.. i just got one but it seems im having problems with it - i bought the device unlocked then rooted it but i cant get any signal.. it shows my network provider but i have 0 bars. i've put in 2 different sim cards and its the same story.. additionally, when trying to connect to the internet, i cant get a signal to browse let alone register my google account on the phone.. and lastly, i get no GPS Signal
im wondering how to fix this - is there a patch or is there a radio to install or something? i need to resolve this issue ASAP - cant go without signal
1 PROBLEM SOLVED - selected automatic networking, found the network and connected to it - it took a LOOOOOONG time but its fixed now
unfortunately, i still cannot get on the wifi - cant get any signal at all
Try flashing another rom I had the same problem..flashed eaglesblood Froyo and no problems so far ...
I have some problems with my D2G.
First of all is the known issue with USB connections (it starts only when usb cable is pluged in when phone is rebooting);
Second problem is with wi-fi. After some time phone is unable to connect to the network when switching wifi on from the up menu menu on main screen, after longer period of time, even going to the settings > wifi, phone cant connect, there is no networks detected;
Third issue is with network data connection. After some period of time, phone is unable to connect to the internet, no websites, no market, data conection seems to be active but there is no communication;
Fourth issue is freezing touch screen when someone is calling i cant answer becouse touch screen seem to be freezed and the round answeting control sometimes hangs in some strange position of screen. Additionaly sometimes i get msg that application Phone is not responding, and i cant answers, i have to force close and then phone seem to restart the radioes becouse all the connections (signal stength) goes X.
If someone has any advices for me please share.
I hope I've described my problems not so bad, i was not using english in some time
you can fix usb (adb work well ) by my patch (on cm7 thread)
Hey, has anyone got this problem before?
After startup with a proper shutdown, there's no network signal, not even the name of the network provider shows up. So a temporary fix for this is a reboot. Is there any permanent fix to this?
I do have fastboot mode activated.

I have a similar issue but I'm running Cyanogen mod 10.
Periodically my Wifi and network connection will become grayed out.
Generally turning off my wifi connection and turning it back on solves the problem, otherwise I have to reboot my phone as well.
When the WiFi is turned ON, As we all know the device will constantly search for wifi networks around it, but the problem is whenever it detects an open wifi network (which requires a sign in via browser) it will immediately go into a bootloop and you will NOT be able to fix it with anything other than going outside that particular WiFi range and force your phone to turn OFF, then restart it again, (remove all cables). and it will clear the Cache since it rearranged the whole icons.
So this happened to me in the Airport and i had to go to an Elevator (Lift) in order to disconnect the phone from the WiFi range (since a metal room isolates all the wireless networks) and i restarted my phone there.
So updating to Android 5.1.1 will NOT fix this bug, and i have to turn OFF wifi before going outside my house, because even when i am driving my car my phone will get into bootloop because somewhere on the road there was an open WiFi network (with browser sign in) and even .1 second is enough for my phone to bootloop.
If anyone knows a fix please discuss it, FYI my phone is NOT rooted and NOT altered in any way, its stock.
Hi had the same problem. This has to do with your phone having a "null" wifi access point saved. This access point needs to be removed.
Quick fix is doing a factory reset and setup your phone as a new device. If you setup your phone with a google backup you will get the corrupt wifi access point in your phone again and the boot loop will start again when you enable your wifi.
