Anyone else having wifi issues on their Sensation? It cycles through scanning, connecting, and disconnected state endlessly.
My home wifi is WPA2-AES, on a router running DD-WRT with dual radios. The Sensation of course only sees the 2.4GHz SSID.
I'm reluctant to re-download all the apps I had on my Inspire over HSPA+ when I only have a 2GB data package :/
edit: in the diagnostic menu, network state is always "disconnected", supplicant state toggles between "associating" and "scanning".
edit2: after a *real* reboot (shut down, then pulled the battery for a bit) WiFi connected straight away and is working quite well. Hope this helps anyone else who encounters this worrying issue on their shiny new superphone.
edit3: and it's back.. I've tried rebooting, pulling the battery, etc and I cannot get it to connect via wifi. I sure hope I don't need to return this thing already.
Wifi wont reconnect
Hi all
I hope someone can help me,
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 ?

Have you tried toggling the wifi settings?
How can I prevent the internet from disconnecting while downloading?
You can prevent internet from disconnecting while downloading if you are connected to Wi-Fi. Please press MENU from the home screen > Settings > Wireless & networks > Wi-Fi settings > MENU > Advanced > Wi-Fi sleep policy > Never.
There's also a toggle for best Wifi performance...not sure what that does but it does state that it may drain the battery more than usual.

Hi
I'm having problems connecting with Wifi. Im running WM6 rom on o2 Atom Life.
When i introduced a new wifi connection to this phone (eg when i turned on the new home wifi for the first time and turned the phone wifi on) it would come up with a small notification down the bottom asking for some details like is this home / work connection and network key etc. I made the mistake of not putting in the details at that time and closing it. As a result I have never been able to connect to the network.
In the Wi-Fi manager, it will show the servers listed but theres no way of actually connecting to one of them. Clicking on the server name simply brings up the "Configure Network Adapters" screen.
The "Wi-fi status" in the Wi-Fi manager shows disconnected. Wi-fi however is turned on.
Please suggest a solution. I don't want to have to hard-reset or flash a new rom.
Thanks
Hi,
Just wonder if anybody is experiencing the same wifi fallback issue on the SGH-i727?
Basically, the phone doesn't automatically fall back to the previously added wifi network from LTE/4G when the screen is off. To get around that, I'll need to hit the power button once every time I enter the wifi range. When the screen is turned on by hitting the power button, I will see the 4G/LTE being replaced by the wifi icon very quickly. After that, it will then stay connected to the wifi network regardless whether the screen is on or off.
I was able to confirm this issue by monitoring the app traffic before and after I turned on the screen.
Without turning on the screen in the wifi range, the phone will stay on the 4g/LTE network forever even though the previously added wifi network is available.
I have already tried out different routers and it's still the same. SSID broadcast is on. I am thinking if there's a bug with the phone. Note that on my phone, my "Wi-Fi sleep policy" under the advanced menu of the "Wi-Fi settings" is always set to "never". Also, it's a stock ROM, nothing is modified at all.
This issue has never happened on other phones. What you think? Am I missing anything here?
After playing with it more, I noticed that the phone will never do the wifi handshake when the screen is off.
I tried turning off and on the wifi in the Wi-Fi settings. If I turn off the screen quickly before the phone gets connected to the wifi network again, it *will* remain unconnected until the screen is turned on again. =(
Did you go into the advanced wifi settings and change the wifi sleep policy?

No, I didn't. I've never touched that setting. The "Wi-Fi sleep policy" is always set to "never".
My phone can still be connected to wifi when the screen is off, so it doesn't seem related to the "Wi-Fi sleep policy". The problem is only that it won't do any wifi connection handshake during screen-off.
Am I the only one having this issue? I guess that's more of a software issue rather than a hardware issue?
Have you tried the AT&T wifi app? It automatically turns off and on wifi as needed
No, that doesn't help.
Yes, I do realize I'm bringing back a thread from the dead, but...
I just got a Samsung Stratosphere (SCH-i405 -- a CDMA-1X/EVDO/LTE Galaxy S phone) and it does EXACTLY the same thing. It's ironic, on the Stratosphere they added a bit of fun that CONSTANTLY lets you know there's networks (which I had to disable), but it doesn't connect to the wifi networks I do have in there until I turn on the screen I guess that's just how it is; at least it doesn't kill the wifi once it IS connected.
If anyone knows a programmatic way to bypass this, I'd be interested, and I could write up a wifi app to implement the solution. I'm guesisng it's a behavior of the drivers though and would take some custom ROM or something to fix.
You could always try to use tasker for automatically connecting to the wifi using radio antenna or maybe can't remember if possible by identifying certain wifi spot.
sometimes it works... sometimes it doesn't... the same router on which other devices work perfectly fine... so its not a router issue...
anyone else had issues with wifi connection on the atrix... a minute ago it was showing as connected but it wasn't working so i had to turn it off on the phone and connect again
help!
Mine did this for a while it would list wifi as connected but the phone did not have a internet connection. Changing the channel on the router to 9 as well as changing the password and resetting the router fixed the problem.

I had similar issues until I changed the WiFi Sleep Policy. Have you tried that?

Weird Probllems with With WiFi and Data
Heres whats going on... I go into the same Starbucks I frequent, the Hotspots login Fails, it state it cant determine my eligibility, call customer service.... Then I get the :No Data Connection:, and then I get the ISP Orange Triangle your password/Authorization failed, the Icons wifi, 4G and Netwoork are Blue, white white.
I switch to email, and all 3 icons are now white, I open Market, it states no connection retry.
I reboot power off/on the phone and voila, The Phone comes up, logs into Hotspots and all 3 icons are blue,
This back and forth game is repeated all the time, at Starbucks, at home, ect.
Can anyone tell me exactly whats going on and how to fix it,
@Clouded - before it took me a while before my phone auto connects but after a power outage the router shutdown and went back up again after the power outage. Guess what - Now my phone connects automatically without problem ^_^ I know my router works well but I guess a quick power cycle of router will help.
thanks folks - i'm going to try both the solutions provided. reboot wlan router & check the wifi sleep setting...
will post how it goes later...
I tried to resolve this problem for quite a while without success . I connect to a WiFi without problems by pressing radio button or through settings. Also I can disconnect without problems. But there is this thing: I am connected at my home lets say on WiFi and I go without turning off my WIFI to another place lets say work, and my phone won't connect to that WIFI automatically (radio button for WiFi is turned on). So I need to turn the button off and turn it on again and then it will connect, or I just go to settings for WiFi and it will start scanning and connect to WiFi immediately.
More about this behavior: if I am connected to WiFi and go out of range and then in a range of another spot lets say in 10-20 minutes my phone will connect automatically. If its longer period maybe 20 minutes or more it wont connect automatically when I get into range. Also I dont think that has something to do with phone getting to deep sleep, because this morning I was walking to my home and listening music all the time and when I got home my phone didnt connect automatically. Nothing. It just seems it stops scanning, also when this happens I am not notified about open networks when I get in range.
My WiFi setting is always set on always connected and this happens even when I flash new stock ROM. While ago when I flashed version 2.3.4 this wasnt a problem, now even when I flash that one I have this same problem. I also tried few different stock ROMS without success.
I know this is not a big deal but it is irritating and I would like to fix this, so please help
Check your wifi sleep policy.
Press menu in wifi settings and set it to 'never'

Hello,
Every known wifi network I walk into, I get an wifi connection failure and my phone does not get connected. After going to the wifi network settings and manually choose connect, there is no problem...
Also overnight, my connection get lost and when I wake up I have the same error. I have to do the same thing (manually connect to my known wifi network(s).) before I can use it...
Deleting the network and adding it again will not solve the issue. I have attached the logcat. I also have enabled extended wifi logging for the logcat.
At 16.21 I enabled wifi and it does not connect
At 16.50 I manually connect to the network
Also added a logcat during night. I loose my wifi connection over night and when I wake up, I have to manually reconnect to my wifi.... Really annoying
I have done a factory reset, with no luck. Did a rom update with full wipe, still no luck.
Did removed the data/misc/dhcp and data/misc/wifi folders and removed all known wifi networks and readded them... No luck
Using catalysm 5.1.1 with faux kernel 025u
Does anybody know what's going on?
Thnx!
Same problem for me . Already reported from a guy https://code.google.com/p/android/issues/detail?id=170078
