The connection is not dropped anywhere: 3G stays connected on the phone and the wifi signal is strong groing from the nexus/hotspot to the laptop connected to it and is not dropped.
But after a while, the laptop starts to get no data at all from the phone (as in, it requests data but nothing comes back). The laptop is fine as it works with no problems using my home's router via wireless.
I can usually ping the nexus fine when this problem occurs, but pings to the outside do not go through, as you'd expect.
I end up having to restart the hotspot function (a phone reboot fixes it too). Does anyone know what might be the problem? Or how I could troubleshoot it?
The nexus one is running CM 7.0.3. Google did not reveal any results (or I failed to find the correct keywords)...

I just upgraded my router to a wireless one. Firstly, it's connected via ethernet to a PC and it is happily getting internet access.
On my i5500 I get a strong wifi signal. Wifi Analyser shows the signal at max constantly. I can also connect with Gmote and it works just fine.
The problem is that I can't actually access the net at all from the phone.
So basically I know that my phone is talking to the router with no problem. It's just getting out onto the internet.
Does anyone know of a solution?
try logging into your router and change the broadcast channel to something else and test it again. it should be something like a/b/g mode... define a single channel and see if it works.
I had originally thought that was working. It did for the first few minute where I had connection but then it just dropped.
I have noticed that I have some very small bursts where I can connect.
Do you think that trying the different channels may be the solution?
I have the same problem. Have you found a solution?
Still no solution. I went through every channel and every encryption method.
So far I've found that having the channel set on 'Auto' and then disabling encryption seems to give me internet connection through WIFI for at least the initial period but it eventually drops. But that's also not always.
I've also Googled it to death and found nothing. If you do find the solution please post it here and I'll do the same.
Maybe we can help each other.
make sure you entered the right password of wlan.
use a pc to connect the router and in the wlan you'll find the password.
Ok, just to clarify. My phone connects to the Router via WLAN. In fact I can use Gmote to control my PC. So the WLAN connection is great.
The problem is accessing the internet when using that connection.
I had similar problems with a router last year. I resolved the issues by flashing DD-WRT firmware. The manufacturer's firmware was junk.

I had that idea but they don't have firmware for my router yet. I have asked them if they intend to make one.
Any chance the firewall on your phone is blocking your browser from using the Wifi?

I have no firewall on my phone.
Ok I've tried some new stuff and they I've had the longest connectivity so far (which is about half an hour).
First I made sure my Wifi wasn't set to turn off when the screen goes to sleep. Second, according to a forum I read, Netgear recommends channel 7. If that channels doesn't work try 1,3,6,9,11,13.
I then disabled encryption.
Fortunately no one near me uses Wifi at all and I've got the kind of walls that stop the signal from getting outside.
Anyway. It's working so far but I'll monitor and report.
[edit] And I forgot. The router was checking for firmware but it wasn't actually finding so I downloaded it myself. Seems that also made a difference.
Ok. I can confirm after 2 and a half hours my internet connection is stable. I even left half way through and when I came back it connected perfectly.
So as a summary here's what I did:
1) Get latest firmware
2) Change channel to 7
3) Disable encryption
I will change encryption and see if it still works
Hey all,
I have a Nexus S (GT-I9020) and an old Netgear WNDR3300 router which I put DD-WRT on.
If I connect directly to the router, I get an IP address and everything. I'm able to browse the Internet/market from the phone and my signal bars turn green, which means everything's syncing fine with Google's servers.
However, if I put an EnGenius EAP9550 between the phone and the router, (used to repeat/extend the signal) I'm not able to browse the Internet/market or get green signal bars from the phone. I do, however, get an IP address. I have a laptop (which I'm currently on) that is using the EAP9550 without issue, so I'm a bit perplexed if this is a Google/Samsung issue or an EnGenius issue.
Does anyone have any issues with the Nexus S and any signal repeaters?
Thanks all!
I originally posted this in the IS03 sub-thread but received no replies.
Not root-related but since a little under a week ago, my IS03 has been having a real hard trouble with wifi when at home. If I move more than 4 meters or so away form the router, I cannot access anything.
When this happens, I'll disable/renable wifi (from 4-5 meters away or further) and one of two things will happen: 1. My network will not even show up or 2. My network will show up (with a 'good' or 'fair' wifi status) but when I try to connect, it will disconnect immediately.
What I noticed through the Wifi Analyzer app was that even when the Android wouldn't show my network on the network list, wifi analyzer still registered it about -70dbm.
I originally thought the router is to blame but both my wife's AU HTC Evo and my Amazon Kindle have no problems using wifi from the same distance.
I also thought that perhaps the cover I have for the phone may be collecting dust so I removed it to no avail.
Any ideas why the wifi in my phone is acting up?
Thanks.
UPDATE since original post: I moved my router (Linksys WRT160N V3) to a more central location and installed DD-WRT (TX Power power set to default 71) and the problem went away for about a week but now it has returned. Both my Kindle and my wife's Evo have no issues with accessing the internet through wifi from the other side of the apartment but the IS03 cannot.
If I try to connect to wifi and I am right next to the router, one of three things will happen: 1. It WILL connect but I cannot access the net. 2. The network will show up on the available network list but it won't automatically connect (will say the network is disabled. If I try to manually connect, it will immediately disconnect. 3. Network won't even show up.
Hi all,
I have HTC One S from T-Mobile and noticed a big problem with my WiFi connection.
My phone will connect automatically to the wifi network in my home/work correctly, but when I leave and am clearly out of range of my wifi network (say, a km away), the phone still claims to be connected to the network, but I of course have no actual connectivity. The signal strength it reports has varied, from full strength to just a few bars.
I try giving it a minute, but it seems stuck and refuses to officially disconnect from the network. The only way to fix things is to toggle my wifi on and off, at which point it goes to mobile data since it can't find any wifi networks to connect to.
The thing is that I use Wireless Bluetooth headphones and since I started using my new phone, the signal drops (I believe it is because of the Wi-Fi not disconnecting from the network and is causing disruptions to the bluetooth connection).
Any ideas how to resolve this issue? Thanks.

Has anyone else had problems using Bluetooth tethering with your Nexus 5?
I can pair just fine and have no problem accessing the Internet etc. initially; however, after a 5-20 minutes of use the phone stops forwarding bluetooth packets to the Internet. The phone's Internet connectivity remains and Chrome on the Nexus 5 works flawlessly. If I disconnect the PC I'm connecting to the my Nexus 5 and try reconnect then I'm unable to do so. Instead I have to turn the Nexus 5's bluetooth off and enable bluetooth tethering again.
This is my second Nexus 5 as the first one was RMA'd. My first device also had this exact same issue; and was one of many issues that caused me to RMA in the first place. However, given that this is happening again, it looks like this is likely some sort of driver bug rather than anything related to hardware.
I'll root the device and get some proper packet logs (in addition to kernel logs) when I get a chance. For now... has anyone else experienced this?
Interesting. I am having Bluetooth tethering issues with my Wimm, thought maybe T-Mobile was blocking, but hotspot worked fine and they said they weren't. Keep us posted.
