Hi anyone with previous experience on vodafone
Im reasonably down with how android works (after owning,rooting and flashing etc for 18 months with Desire)
but why the hell cant i conect via wifi!!
i can connect to networks ok but phone refuses to pull in any data be that mail, facebook, market or internet
Seriously, i cant figure this out at all, anyone have an idea ?
First evening with a new phone ruined!!

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
getting on my tits a little
ill have another fiddle later and see what i can do
cheers for the comments tho
otherwise, i do like the form factor of the phone and ill even give sense a good go befor i probably switch over to ADW or maybe launcherpro
Solved!
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

wifi reconnect
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.

I've noticed that the profile for my home wifi network keeps getting disabled. Usually, I'll leave for a bit, then come back and about half the time it never reconnects. When I go into the wifi list, it's marked as disabled. I enable it and it works fine from that point unless I leave again. It's my understanding a profile will get disabled when it cannot connect to a network for some reason, but clearly it can. My G2 and SGS never have this problem. Is this a setting somewhere? Thanks...
I am having this same issue. I dont know how to fix it
This is more serious than I realized! I just got disconnected randomly even while staying in perfect coverage. Not only does it disconnect, but it DISABLES the connection and won't reconnect again unless I manually tell it to. I rely 100% on WiFi calling while home and now I'm missing all kinds of calls and texts because WiFi is disconnected...
I'm hoping this is just is a software issue that can be resolved pretty quickly, officially or unofficially...
This phone has like 10 legit problems already. Tmobile needs to hurry up with the updates or the refunds will kill them.
It might help if you talk about the router you're using. I have a Netgear N600 and haven't had any Wi-Fi issues either connecting, staying connected, or automatically reconnecting. Bluetooth on the other hand...

It's a Linksys WRT610N. Very modern and very stable router. There's no reason this phone should have any problem with it. I literally have a G2 and SGS sitting side-by-side with the G2x and only the G2x has this problem. The SGS is Froyo and the G2 is Gingerbread. I also have a slew of other wireless (on both 2.4ghz and 5.8ghz bands) and wired clients connected that all have zero issues. I don't know why it would work on one router and not the next...
Are you using WPA2-AES encryption or something else?

Yes. And you're right, the phone is very temperamental across a number of areas.
Did you set up your wifi to never go to sleep? Cause if you havent - it disconnects every time you turn off the screen.
In order to do that, go to Settings=>Wireless & Networks=>Wi-Fi Settings=> click on the "menu" button on your phone=> Advanced=> Wi-Fi sleep policy=> and choose Never.
I did that, and my wifi calling is flawless ... and I rely on it pretty much all the time that I am at home (thanks for that stupid t-mobile signal)
I have the same issue and the setting I have by default to Never go to sleep... Also, has nothing to do with router as any of my other phones have this issue including Nexus One.
Did by any chance any of you with this issue restore some Titanium Back-ups? Because when I restored mine from a back-up of my 1st G2x (exchanged) I also restored the previous wi-fi settings and after that the wi-fi wouldn't work correctly. I did a factory reset and it fixed the problem.
Edit: If all else fails, then try a factory reset. I know it sucks, but it could fix everything.

I'm having issues with this as well. Wifi set to never sleep, I haven't restored any apps. I constantly lose connection. I've tried the factory reset thing etc. and it doesn't help.
I can connect to my wireless g Linksys access point but not my airport extreme ... my Linksys is open my ape is not(I realize I wrote ape LOL)

WiFi seems to be losing dns services
I have the same WiFi problems and while a factory reset clears the problem
temporarily and changing the WiFi sleep setting to never is an immense help
once it's gone off-line I can't get it to come back.
I have noticed that if it has a cached dns lookup to an ip address that that
ip address is still accessible. So if you can get OTA data live, look up google.
Switch to wifi, google is still accessible and you can do queries but you can't
click through on the links because the dns lookup fails.
I've fiddled with killing myaccount, suggested elsewhere, without success.
Unless there is some robust configuration change that pops up soon I suppose
I'll have to return it...

Did you also uninstall market updates and freeze the market updater?
It got mine working again without any problems. Sucks that this has to be done to get wifi to work properly.
I've frozen MyAccount and WiFi calling and it's working at the moment.
Truely I was a little tired and forgot about the market updates until I got
back here.
Insane that one has to do something like this for such a basic feature.
I mean who is going to use the OTA networking when wifi is available?
Let alone the cost issues. I went from 880kbps to 10100kbps going from
OTA to wifi.
This device must have rushed out the door.
Useless at any speed
So I've uninstalled the updates to and FROZEN:
My Account
Market Updater
WiFi Calling
AppPack
and the phone is still trippy. I've discovered also (via the engineering menu)
that the networking ping test fails - "network unreachable". The wifi
data looks good but it doesn't show the current gateway or dns configuration
information.
I'm at a loss for what to try next. Anyone got any suggestions?
Is there something like a netstat android app?
I am having the SAME issue as well as the OP..... =/
wifi recovery
Too soon to say that this is a consistent work-around but I'm
having some short term luck with
rebooting the phone (remove battery) in Airplane mode
enabling wifi
turning airplane mode off
Not sure if the battery pop is necessary. I suspect it's not.
I also suspect that freezing/deinstalling the various updates
is pointless.
Probably the whole work-around is to change the
Wi-Fi sleep policy to never:
settings->wireless & network settings->Wi-Fi settings->advanced
and use the airplane/wifi enable reboot sequence.
If someone has a permanent work-around based on precise setup
sequence and freezing applications I'd like to hear it - I think I've
followed the several posts on this topic and that path is unreliable but
it never hurts to be wrong.

Mine does this and I never restored any system data. I only restored apps.
Strange.
I use WiFi calling at work with no problems. It is a Netgear router. I haven't had problems at home with my Linksys router either.
Hi
My Sensation is having problems with the WIFI in my home. When I visit other people and use their WIFI I dont experience the same issues, which leads me to believe that it is an issue with my router.
The problem is that I have to turn the wireless off and on again on the phone a few times a day, because it suddenly doesnt work. When it happens the phone shows full WIFI bars and tells me that it is connected, but it doesnt work. But after turning it off and on, it always works again.
I have tried changing the channel to 11 in the router but that hasnt helped. Is there a solution to this very annoying issue?

Besides obviously getting another router, have you tried removing the wifi connection from your list, reboot and then adding the wifi back on like a new connection? Besides not knowing your current setup (what rom you are on, if any) and when you select menu to bring up the advanced menu, is the 'avoid poor connections selected' or available as an option? Also is there a wi-fi frequency band option? If so make sure you have auto ticked off.

Im on stock 4.03.
I have now tried your suggestions. Removed the wifi connection, rebooted and reconnected. I will let you know how that turned out.
I dont have any of the options in the wifi menu that you mention, however I do have the option of using a static IP, would that maybe help?
I still have that issue when on ICS 4.0.3/4 Sense 4. But not Sense 3.5/6 and Jellybean. I put out a logcat but they told me to use WiFIX but that never did me anything. They also told my my security on my router WPA/WPA2 is not supported well in Sense 4 or something. I'm just patiently waiting for someone to help me with that same problem so I can try ICS stock and Sense 4.

My new idea is that it could be something to do with the router. According to some threads ive across the phone doesnt like wireless n networks and wpa/wpa2 security. I think my router is setup with those two things. I guess I will try changing that. If that doesnt help maybe setting up a static IP would be worth a try

I would change my security but I have about 10+ devices connected in the household and once you change it they don't reconnect; you have to re-enter the password and everything. The downside in my household at the moment. But as for the StaticIP. I wouldn't mind doing that to be honest. Let me know how these two options work out for you because I might make a change to my router settings if one of these works out.
I had the same problem after upgrading to ICS. It seems that even if you have set your ip to static it still wont connect to the internet. This is because there is no option to change the subnet mask address from the usual static ip config. Try installing any DNS setting tool to your phone and check the setting on your ip again. Hope this helps.
I just got this phone few days ago and everything was great, up to yesterday. When i got home my phone cant seem to connect with my home network anymore. I have no idea what is going on and tried many suggested fixes like forgetting and reconnecting, resetting router, i even did a factory reset for my phone and tried few apps on the play store. Can anyone help me with this? Thanks so much for your time:crying:

Can you connect to any other wifi network?
If yes, then there is a problem with your home wifi router.
If no, then there is a problem with your phone.
EDIT: After a bit of searching, i came up with this,
Your wireless network may need to have your devices mac address before it can recognize and grant wifi access to that device.It turns out you need to add the mac address to your router so that it can let the device associated with the mac address connect to the network. If you don't know how to do this, or can't find another solution, call your network provider for assistance. They should be able to help you out. I cannot tell you how to fix your problem because I don't know (and don't want to know lol) your router address / IP address and password.

Nexus 5 android 5.1.1. I noticed it a while back and thought flashing the newest factory image would take care of it but it didn't. I'm assuming there is a block on it of some sort, I have no idea how it got on here. Haven't gotten into writing code but I think I should. This is troublesome and any help will be much appreciated. I'll include a screen shot also. Thanks
That IP address came from the last access point you connected to. Try forgetting all networks in the WiFi settings and try connecting to your AP again.
BTW, it appears you are having connection problems.

1 It is not my router; it belongs to my employer
2 My OnePlus 6 is here too and connected to the internet
3 All of my coworkers' phones are connected to the internet
So the phone works fine on your home wifi? It could still be the router. At my business if it has not been restarted in a while, new devices will not connect as too many ip have been given out since last restart so no more will be able to connect.

That does nothing as the router has an IP stored for that Mac address currently. It's not renewing it's lease, the router just sees it as the phone has disconnected and reconnected like it does every day you go in. If the phone cant connect to any wifi then it's a hardware issue. Otherwise it is more than likely a network issue with the router.

Sooo, I had a similar problem on Wednesday when I got my phone. During setup it wouldn't connect to my WAP (DHCP). No matter what I did on the phone it wouldn't connect. I went into my networking equipment settings (Cisco everything) and reserved it an IP. Worked. Thing is, sometimes I open an app that requires Internet, and it just spins. Or music won't start playing, whatever. I turn off then back on my WiFi and it's fine. I'm going to reboot my networking gear tonight and un-reserve the IP, see what happens. I REALLY hope this isn't a hardware issue on my phone. I'll be pissed if I already have to get a replacement.
Also, restarting the phone doesn't fix my issue with no Internet, only turning off then back on the WiFi. Might be something worth trying.

Oh yes I tried that too
I spent 20 minutes with a Google tech and nothing worked
The WIFI performance on P3 and XL is not good. My old ass S5 outperforms both by a large margin on 2.4 and 5. My home router is high performance Turris Omnia. The pixels sometimes drop wifi completely in the bedroom 20 ft away (with horsehair plaster walls). In the driveway the S5 and Nexus 10 have solid connections and I get nothing from the P3 XL. This issue might be the last straw. WTF Google?

My work it department enacted a rule whereas they want to know every device that is on the network so I have to submit a network address request and give them my Mac address so they can allow my device access to the wifi network again. Maybe your work it ppl are doing the same thing. Maybe work devices are allowed by default.
Also my p2xl wifi reception is weak... I'm about to get a wifi mean network setup so I can get better coverage throughout my house.
My phone seems to be working better the last couple days. I had some problems yesterday, but it ended up just being YouTube Music. Also, my network speeds are great. Even when I was having problems a lot, my link and Internet speeds were up at the top of what my gear offers.
To anyone having, or has had problems, submit feedback on it from your phone. Maybe Google will see it and do something about it. I'm really hoping for a lot of fixes in the November update.
My IT department solved my issue by resetting the system.
