Raphael: Wifi can not connect to any encrypt connection, any help?

My TouchPro can connect normally to unsecured wifi networks, but with WPA encrypted ones, it can only connect for the first time, after that it can not.
At home I have a wireless router/ADSL modem (Zoom X6) that is connected to my PC by cable, all my phones and laptops connect to internet via wifi. While other phones (1G iPhone) and laptops always connect successfully, the TP only connected once and then cannot or unable connect to the WPA security-enabled wireless network (although it's able to scan and detect the availability of the Wifi network). I tried to reset the router settings, even update router firmware, but no luck, it's still unable connect. I also tried with my office secured wifi network and I had the same problem.
Yesterday, I had to hardreset my TP and tried to connect once again, but problem was repeated, connected only once and after that, unable. Note that my previous PPC (TMobile Ameo WM5) didn't have any problem with the same wifi router and the same wifi settings (as follow).
My TP wifi settings:
Network Name: MyNetwork
Connects To: The Internet
Uncheck "This is a hidden network"
Next step:
Authentification: WPA-PSK
Data Encryption: TKIP
Greyed Out: The key is automatically provided
Network Key:************** (my pass)
Greyed Out: Key Index: 1
Next,
Checked "Use IEEE 802.1x network access control" but greyed (I can't change this)
Anybody know the solution for this issue?
Thanks and very appreciated for any help.

i experienced similar problems with my old p4350 but not yet with the TP...
no solution, sorry. but im quite unhappy that this issue still exists...

Any suggestion, pls.

yeah.. quite sucky.. I though the WiFi 'broke'.. but i was able to connect to a WEP site.. I think its something to do with WPA.
I never had this problem with my Diamond. The firmware on Diamond isso much more stable compared to Touch Pro..

I set everything to WEP and my key is open instead of shared, and now it works fine.
I had issues at my dad's, who has no encryption, and also there, when I set the key to open io shared, I got connection. (even though there is no key
anyway, it looks like that is the bug (at least in my device)

I have exactly same settings and same problem... but I want to use this encrypted connection since in future I will have to connect also in other places where I need it for sure.
Any help here?

I have similar promblem with my Hermes before.
My wireless router is running "Turbo-G" mode, my Hermes can't connect it with Turbo-G mode On.
After I change the wirless mode from Turbo-G to "g/b", my Hermes can connect it without any problem.

I tryed that and does not work...
strange is that is was working in the past and on router I did no changes but on TP I installed just some apps which should not affect this...
Only what could affect is Advanced config which I installed...
So where else can be problem?
How can I troubleshoot this?
Signal kvality is good but still keeps dropping and does not obtain IP from router.

mine works fine...not that that helps you in any way

I found the solution: set router to unsecured and use MAC filter. But that is only a tip, because my TP still can not connect with any other secured wifi.

I had same problem and looks like I found the bug in Advanced Config 3.2
There is in Network -> WPA auth... was enabled and I put Disabled (now I can use WPA auth anyway... before it just could not connect)
And next Wi-Fi delay after boot: 0 (when I changed to other number than I got problem that I could not even see any AP as I could see before and only network card settings was shown)
Try to play with other settings and you will see... I had also errors with device.exe after reboot... but now it all works as it should.
Just post here if it helps you also so we can notify creator of Advanced Config...

You are merely restricting people from connecting to your router.. without encryption, you are sending unsecure packets all over..

Have you tried using AES encryption on your device instead of TKIP? I only mention this because TKIP is the only one I haven't tried. All other methods of connectivity work fine for me with the TP.
I tried the PT using unsecured routers, WEP and WPA and all of them worked fine with stable connectivity.
The routers I have tried (without any problems) so far are:
1. Linksys WRT-54G running Tomato firmware
2. Linksys WRT-54G running DD-WRT firmware
3. D-Link DIR-655 running latest firmware
I tired open, WEP and WPA1+2 on all of the above routers and the TP responded with zero issues...
I am not using a custom ROM.
I hope this helps in some miniscule way.
Good luck.

I was about to say the same thing...
Not having any issues with my girlfriends WPA secured router. It's on WPA2-PSK and AES encryption. Enter key first time (case sensitive!!), and of you go... Connecting without trouble ever since

hmm..Funny mine still can't connect to my home WPA2, AES or TKIP.. I'm on the Buffalo Tomato firmware..

WIFI not connecting
This solution worked for me!! Excellent. This was a right pain!

I've got the sollution, everybody on this forum probably has advance config installed, the program sets some default value's of it's own, set the WPA authentication under network in the advance config program to disabled and it will work again. Anyways, that worked for me

I've removed WiFi settings and then I edited settings again. It works now

Raphael Wifi problems
I bought this Fuze to replace my trusty Dash since I broke the antenna on my Dash. I'm running NRG Magic, but have tried other NATF and other ROMs as well, I cannot get this phone to connect to my wifi network I'm using WPA2-PSK but have disabled security for testing. My Dash and my laptop connect immediately with no problems. If I cannot get wifi going on this Fuze I'm afraid I'll have to put it on Ebay and try the Iphone, which people seem to love.
The Fuze did connect once, and it was WPA2-PSK at the time, I don't remember what ROM I was using at the time probably an NRG flavor, but Ihave had _no_ luck since.
Should I flash to 'official' ROM? Honestly I'm getting tired of playing with this thing I don't have the time.
Any help would be appreciated.
Thanks,
Marc

I may have found something
Check your time zone/daylight savings settings on your router. Phone and router time must be in sync.

[Q] Can't connect to wep wifi networks

Hi! I just got my touch pro a few days ago and i love it! However, on both the stock rom and the latest energy rom, I can't browse the internet on wep encrypted wifi networks. open networks work fine thoguh. It says it is connected but i get a "cannot find page error" in opera. I have tried multiple hard and soft resets with no success. Any ideas? Thank you!

It's probably the network's security. Check the settings...
Have you tried connecting to other wep secured networks? Like your friends'? I can connect fine on all types.

[Q] Wifi Connection Problems - Vegan-Tab

Need a little help. My G-tab is running current VEGAn-TAB rom. I am having problems getting the wifi to actually connect. My icon shows a good signal, and inside the wireless settings I am showing connected to my wireless network. I also went to advance settings and made sure wifi never sleeps. All apps that need internet connection (market, browser, etc.) show no data connection.
Used yesterday with no problems. My laptop is running on same network and working fine.
Any ideas?

have you restarted? Sometimes happens to me too but it's nothing a simple restart can't fix.

Yes. Restarted several times. Didn't work.
Oddly enough I have a Airave from Sprint to boost my cell phone signal, and it may have been the problem. When I unplugged it and returned to my G-Tab later the Wifi was working. Not sure why.

Could be competition on the 2.4 GHz frequencies. Some wireless phones and even microwave ovens can trash a wifi connection.

Moved to general

Anyone else having WiFi problems with Vegan? Since installing this mod, I can only connect to a WEP signal and not a WPA-secured network.

I can't connect either. Trying to connect to a wep wifi and it stays on "obtaining ip address from ..." but never completes the connection. Any help?

No problems with home WEP, office WPA2-PSK and several wide open public ones. I just wish the damn thing would auto-connect to the ones I have been to before.

My only guess is, if its a 5Ghz N Router you should check to see if it allows
2.4Ghz signals and not just 5Ghz. The GTAB doesn't seem to support connections at 5Ghz.

I just changed over from TNT Lite(latest version) and was able to connect fine but I didn't like the interface and some of the features. I've loaded Vegan tab 7.0.0 and I was able to connect at work (802.1 EAP) network but I can't connect to a wep wifi at home (were several other pc's are connected and working fine) and it stays on "obtaining ip address from ..." but never completes the connection. Any help?
I have a Linksys wrt300n router and have confirmed that it configured to accept 2.4Ghz & 5Ghz signal and have rebooted several times with no luck.

I don't have a lot to add to help you troubleshoot, but I can say that I am running VEGAn Gingerbread RC1 with pershoot's latest kernel. I am able to connect at home on a WAP2-PSK (Linksys Linux based G/N) at home, WAP2-PSK at the cabin (Linksys's cheapest G/N), and at work on a 802.1 EAP network (Cisco).
I has some unexplained issue mounting the internal storage on a computer. After a little head scratching, I started to wonder if it had something to do with the custom kernel I was running. I flashed Pershoot's latest kernel and my problems went away.
I mention all that to suggest that you might try flashing a different kernel and see if you get different results.

I have an issue with vegan where when i reboot the device (or turn off and turn on) wifi is off even if left on when turning off, i have to manually turn on wifi after every boot.

Have you checked to see if you're using MAC address filtering, and if so, that your gTab's MAC address has been added to the whitelist on the router? I get the feeling that that may be the issue. You have the WEP key on your device, but your router's still blocking it. I'm running the same ROM you are, and have had absolutely no troubles connecting to my work network with 802.1 PEAP, WPA/WPA2-TKIP and AES at home, and multiple makes/models of access points/routers.
Hmmm. Just reread your original. Now I'm wondering if you have enough DHCP leases available on your router. If you're out, you'll have to wait until a lease expires or add some more to your scope of addresses.
Hope some of that helped in some way...

[Q] Wi-Fi connection problems

I'm having a strange problem lately with the Wi-Fi. I was at work where I've previously set up the wi-fi details, but now it says the network is not in range. The laptop I have sees and connects to it just fine so the connection details haven't changed, and the signal strength is 5 bars on the laptop, so it's still in range.
Well failing that, I connected the laptop to a wired connection and created an Ad-Hoc network to share the internet from. The latest honeycomb 3.2 update added support for Ad-Hoc and the network was seen on the tablet, I typed in the password, but it won't connect. It sees it as full strength, attempts to connect, and then the network suddenly loses all strength gives me a "-1 mbps" link speed and seems to get stuck in an infinite loop of trying to connect.
This same issue happened at a friends place where she has your typical household wi-fi but I thought it was just a fluke. I still get the "-1 mbps" link speed and lack of connectivity. The strange thing is it still works at home and at another friends place.
Does anyone have any experience with this?

yeah i had the same problem. i got Linksys router on WPA\WPA2 personal. But at the same time i changed ISP...150mb/s down and up bebeh! ...so i used the router they gave me instead.
not sure linksys and/or the WPA/WPA2 personal is the problem. But i dont have the problem anymore.

Yeah, it's weird. For the Ad-Hoc connection I was able to change the security type to basic WEP and it worked fine after that. Previous it was WPA2 and not working.
I'm wondering if the latest firmware update has anything to do with this?

[Q] Wifi problem on sense 3.5 roms

I have got a problem where on sense 3.5 I cannot connect to a wifi network that is hidden. I put the correct details in but it doesn't connect. It will connect to other wifi networks fine.
It is not a problem with any other type of roms just sense 3.5 - I have tried every 3.5 rom for desire s and get the same problem.
Any ideas on this

i used to have that problem. i just change my laptop ip and voila it connect.

I don't see this problem. I using ednymion 3.3
From Russia with love by my HTC Desire S

tried changing the radio yesterday to see if that helped but still get the same problem, it won't connect to a hidden wifi network. It's a hidden wifi one at work and I don't have access to change any settings on there, need to be able to connect to it as I get a poor phone signal and rely on the wifi.
Seems strange that it only happens on all sense 3.5 roms. - the sense 3.0, MIUI and ICS roms can connect to it fine.

If you have change your radio, and if it doesn't work, try this app: Wifi manager app
What is the channel of your wifi network ?
Install Wifi manager.
And on settings, check 2.4 GHZ Channel, and complete (14)
and check 5GHz channels too.
Reboot after.
And try to found your wifi network.
It's an solution.

finally got round to trying this but I am not sure what channel the wi-fi network is on. It is a hidden one that I am not supposed to know is there so I cannot really ask about it, all I know is the SSID and the PW. Phone reception at work is very poor so I rely on the wi-fi.
I checked all the channels like you said but still cannot get this to connect to the wi-fi.
Tried 3 different radio's and flashed a clean install of a sense 3.5 rom and still get this problem.
Don't mind as I can connect to it fine using MIUI , I'm just curious why it doesn't work on 3.5 sense.
Thanks for the advice though

No problem.
That's strange your problem, cos I'm on Sense 3.5 since the beginning, and I haven't got any issues with Wifi network.
But If you have find a solution, it's good for you
