Hi lately i have been experiencing troubles with my wifi.
The router signal is strong and whenever i turn on my phone it will be connected in less than a few seconds but WITHOUT connectivity. (ie. the wifi symbol shows connected but i cant browse the net)
The only work around for this is to manually disable and re-enable wifi for my phone to be truly connected. (Which is very tedious)
I know this may be a router problem as well but in the past i didnt have this issue.
Im using HTC Mozart 7 - updated to 8107
I was wondering if anyone is having this issue too and knows of a solution to it.
Thanks
unplug the router and plug it back in (after 30 seconds)
Home routers are noted to stop handing out addresses at random times. Rebooting re-enables this so the phone can get an address and get on the net.
Hm my router is working properly. All my other devices are connected with connectivity. Whenever i turn on my phone, it also says connected (but without connectivity), so the work around is to disable and re-enable my "phone" wifi and then my phone is connected WITH connectivity.
To do that is quite tedious every single time... and it seems like a connection bug in my phone if all my other WIFI devices are connecting properly
Thanks
Hi guys.
I have the same issues with my Omnia 7 too. Started a few days ago. Cant sync emails, nor surf on my phone. It seems like itss connected to my network. I have my latop and other phone working on it like a charm. Any ideas?
Hi,
I have the same problem on my Omnia 7 and it all started after the 8107.79 OS Update.
The WiFi works fine when you first connect but after the phone is not used for a few minutes and I turn it on, it's shows as connected but I can't load any websites.
If I disconnect the WiFi and connect again it works fine
This is a serious issue!!!
I have also tried to restart my router but this didn't solve the problem.
Did you guys found a workaround?
Thanks!
Same here
I have the same problem (after 8107 update).
It connects to my wifi, and strangely sometimes (but that's rare) working, and get pages to load on, but then it shows the connection, but can't load any page in IE.
Also, reconnecting doesn't solve always the problem.
Any suggestions what to do?
After i have done a hard reset, and reverted back to 7740, i don't got any problem to cennect to my home wifi.
But the disappearing keyboard is really annoying, so i want the 8107 update features, but not the bugs of it.
Still no other one have problems with the wifi connection @8107???
We are 3-4 who got the problem, so i don't think its so user specific...
Another news
After reverted back to 7740 i decided to update one more time to 8107. (If something will go wrong then I have a backup of my Omnia7 with WP7 Easy Backup).
So i updated to 8107 one more time (no KK2 update arrived, CSC and PDA is KI4), and now the wifi connection works fine.
So try to revert back to an earlier version (with a backup), and then update again, maybe it can solve the problem
Yea.. but that is really random then... its like saying ur update is better than my udpate!! haha even though its the same material overall
Im sure more people have this issue as well just havent seen this thread
Hello ! I have the same problem with my HTC HD7 I have to take off the battery to let WI fi work again this is very annoying!! A fix for this please!!
Sent from my HD7 T9292 using XDA Windows Phone 7 App
count me too ! Omnia W
Not working - again
I've done a backup in 7740, so i reverted to it for 1 day, and there was no problem with the wifi.
Then i decided to give another try on 8107 - and it worked well for 3-4 hours. That was 2 days ago (as you can see in my earlier posts)
But now it have the same problem, connects to the home wifi, but after a while the internet is missing, however the connection remains! Can't load any page on IE and can't connect with any app that needs internet connection.
This is a serious problem, and i see that others have this problem too, so we should deal with it!
Any expert that know something about this issue?
HTC Trophy with the same WiFi problem.
I have same problem on my LG Optimus 7.
anyone with problems receiving incoming calls too? sometimes freezes the screen and have to take the battery out and put it again to reboot!
Same problem here with HTC Titan. The prob started after the 7740 update. Now running 8107. Turning the WiFi off and on again does work (thanks Mercea2) but, as he says it is tedious.
I'm having a similar (same?) issue on my Omnia 7 - the problem hasn't always been there though.
I've come up with a work-around - turn off 3G data while in range of WiFi, and turn WiFi off when not in range and switch 3G data back on.
If only one is turned on at a time, my people hub updates instantly. If both are on, it takes many attempts and a long time.
Seems like there is some issue switching between 3G and WiFi...
3G/wifi not working together
As someone said it before, the wifi keeps giving errors if 3G data connection and wifi is also turned on!
If i switch off and back the data connection switch (!!), then the wlan works again for a while. If i switch data totally off then works flawlessly.
Any workaround for that?
Maybe a homebrew, that can switch off data connection temporarily, if the phone is connected to a wifi network, and after disconnecting it will switching back. But I think if it can be done, than just on fully-unlocked roms (i have Omnia7, and unfortunately DFT SammyRainbow is not ready yet)
My wifi/3G problem started with the 8107 update (Omnia7, not KK2).
So any suggestions what to do?
Ok.... this is getting on my nerve... whats the point of having wifi on if it doesnt connect the moment that its suppose to!!!
Can we inform anyone about this?
Same problem here with HTC mozart after the update... worked for 2 days and then no more wifi
Hope microsoft put an update soon
hello guys,
i may have a problem with my wifi connection.
i bought two days ago the phone and yesterday i was playing with it in my house. i have some kind of problem when i am connected to my rooter.
when i connected my phone, i started viewing some sites and watching youtube videos.
suddenly i had this problem:
at the browser when i clicked a site, it started load it but never ended, just showing a white page. if i pressed stop and reload then the site was loaded ok.
this happened all the time.
when i returned to youtube the videos started and played for 10-20 seconds and then were freezed because the phone could not get the rest video.
at the same time i had internet access from my rooter as i could navigate at sites from my tablet.
if i close and open my wifi on phone then the connection was ok but after a while (10 mins) this strange behavior started again .
has anyone ever had the same problem;
thanks you
(PS sorry for my english)
What ROM are you using, and did you try to reset the phone and wipe cache/dalvik?

the phone is new (2 days old) and its stock
Have you tried simply power-cycling the router? Should be one of the first things you do, anytime you have a WiFi problem, as this will clear it up many times. I think I've seen this help even in cases where other devices work on the WiFi network properly.
yeap, i restarted both router and the phone
i have changed all the settings on the wifi-settings but did not see any progress.
From htc support told me to worj the phone in safe mode, but i have to wait until i return home
besides this problem, i cant connect and the router at my office (i had the same problem with mt s2 after an update, but 1-2 months later sammy rolloed out an update and the problem fixed)
Is security enabled on your WiFi network, and if so, what type (WEP, WPA, WPA2, etc.). You might try switching the encryption type (although WEP is not recommended, as its not very secure). I've seen cases where this has helped various connection problems.
I have had this problem with a lot of phones that friends and family bring by. 90% of the time the problem is a minor setting on the router. Some Android phones don't like AES encryption. If your encryption settings on your router are set to "AES" or "TKIP and AES" try changing it to just TKIP. You should see improvement with your connection.
You may have to change the security settings on other devices that are connected to that router as well to refelect the change.
hey guys,
yesterday evening, when i returned home i checked my router if it was able to change the frequency from 2.4GHz to 5GHz but i could not as at the channel it did not had choises for 5GHz.
i did not change the encryption type.
i restarted the phone, and entered in safe mode. after 10 mins the problem occurred again, i removed chrome, and suddenly the phone started working fine for until 1 hour and so i figured out that the problem was the app chrome, but i left the phone in safe mode and went to bed.
next morning (today) i started watch sites and after 5 minutes the problem occurred again. (i did not turn off the phone from the previous night, still worked in safe mode)
is there any possibility the problem to caused when the phone is in standby? although i have the wifi activation in option always
Hey,
I have a Nexus 5 that is set up to basically act as a router using wireless tethering. I live in an area where I constantly have full-blast LTE that is usually above 30Mbps. For about a month, everything's been great until this last week. Now, every few hours my data connection gets killed completely after anywhere from a few minutes to a few hours after tethering has been running. Data stops working on all tethered devices as well as the Nexus 5. Entering airplane mode and then resetting the WiFi tether fixes the symptoms, and if that fails, restarting fixes it.
I've disabled wireless_tether_dun (sp?), switched to IPv4 and I sometimes use a VPN that passes through all network traffic through the VPN. Even with VPN disabled, the data drop keeps happening.
I know there are so many things that can be going on, but has anyone else noticed this recently? I'm wondering if it is a hardware issue, a signal issue, or perhaps T-Mobile has changed something on their side of things that is killing my somewhat obvious abuse of their network.

I am having the exact same issue -my post- in a completely different place, only I have been assured it is completely fine to use my phone on the network in this way. Did you ever find a solution to this?
Hi all. I have a weird issue that after Googling it doesn't seem anyone else has had.
The issue started earlier today, in the morning. I was using my phone on the WiFi and it was working phone, then my phone crashed, restarted itself.
I noticed it wasn't connected to the WiFi, went to the WiFi settings and where it usually says the list of networks it said "Turning on WiFi" and the slider at the top was greyed out so I couldn't turn it off.
I tried airplane mode and that didn't help. But the phone was working fine on my mobile data so restarted.
Now the weirder part starts. I basically have an issue where, if I turn on the WiFi, my phone crashes, or doesn't act like it's turning the WiFi on.
Even going Settings and then pressing on the WiFi option freezes the phone.
The problem started when I was still using 4.4.4 however since the problem developed I've used my mobile data to download the updates and now have 5.1.1 I think.
The problem persists even after updating to the most recent version and doing a factory restore. The phone is currently completely stock with nothing downloaded on to it. All I did is go through the first time setup for the device.
The WiFi currently is off, and the phone is working however it won't connect to my data, it has the signal bars and then an ! instead of a 4G icon.
If I try to turn the WiFi on it crashes the phone.
The phone is still under warranty so I plan on contacting LG on Monday however it's currently 3:34 AM on a Sunday so I have a day until I can call them and was hoping for a solution in that time.
Thanks in advance. I have the phone to hand so anything you want me to test I'm able to.
There is some information I didn't type as I don't know what is important was trying to avoid a wall of text so if you have any more questions I'll answer I best I can.
Thanks for reading, I hope you can help!
Whenever I turn the screen off on my s7, it will automatically disconnect my wifi and after a few minutes, connect back for awhile before disconnecting again. Anyone encountering a similar or the same problem? I made sure the settings for keep wifi on during sleep was set. I tried resetting my network from the "back & restore" place but didnt help.
How I knew was notifications for whatsapp was always always delayed, I tested by sending a message from my spare phone to my s7, my s7 would then only receive the message anytime between 1- 3 minutes, and sometimes the phone will disconnect from wifi immediately after receiving the message.
I noticed this too 2 days ago. I did not updated the firmware pr something else. I thought it was my router. Today i flashed the superman rom 1.7 and i saw that it lost the wifi connection again. I will observe it for the next few days. I havent had this problem before. Weird...
