Ok so ive had my G2X for a whilel, and all of a sudden last night it stopped working, it recognizes the wireless networks, tries to get stuck on obtaining IP, i tried turning off wifi, restarting phone, and whatever else i could think of, its not my wifi network because it is occuring on my buddies wifi, which i am currently connected to on this computer, and i use it regularly, im stuck and kinda bummed?
any insight?
Is yours one of the originals? 2 of my first five had this problem. It would seem connected but not be. Very frustrating. You don't say if you tried canceling the wifi connection on the phone and re-entering your password?
Are you stock?
I had this problem. Setting up a static ip fixed it for me.

my internet just stopped working yesterday. i tried resetting the phone to defaults but no luck.
anyone else using rogers have an issue?
i tried my sim card in my dad's phone (some sorta new Nokia phone) and i get internet.
ok i fixed it somehow. i connected 2 Cora's wifi and i got internet. i disconnected and then tried connecting to rogers edge network and now it works..
Same thing is happening to me. There's no wifi around the area but once there is I hope your solution works.
Went to connection settings and allowed the wizard to reset the settings and now it works....
I still get the problem.
Is rogers doing something to their internet? It used to work flawlessly and now it's intermittent. I connect to Edge but if I try to update the weather, it times out and I can't see any webpages using opera. But other times it works normally.
I think Rogers must be up to something or maybe an over load on the network?
Resetting the settings did not work for me. The internet just seems to work when it wants to.
Yea it seems to be intermittent for me also, especially for the weather tab.
Opera is pretty much hit and miss too.
My captivate has a problem. It'll connect to WiFi no problem. Unfortunatly, after a while (could be anywhere from long 30 seconds to a few minutes) the WiFi stops sending data. I have to disable/reenable wifi to get it to work again. It still says connected to network, it just won't receive data.
Anyone know of this happening, have a fix, or maybe what I should look for that might be causing this issue?
I disabled recently installed running apps, no help.
I did try a speedfix last night, and it was unsuccessful, and I uninstalled it. Didn't test enough after that to know for sure if it was the issue, but I don't think so.
It was like, I was going through google reader, started a youtube vid, paused it, restarted it, and it wasn't loading. Just wouldn't load. That's when I think the problem started, and I haven't installed anything since then, that i haven't disabled/uninstalled.
Have you tried flashing the stock OS. Maybe this will help. My wifi has been solid so far but i will see if i get a problem like yours. Try reflashing. If it doesn't work post back.

I have the exact same issue on enterprise class cisco wifi APs. The only difference is the symptom is immediate, and not after an interval of time.

I'm thinking of this, but I don't know...
I have my music on my computer, I have my .apk's in a folder and my market synced with appbrain. Anything else I need to do? Will appbrain reset, and make me go find and reinstall everything?
What about the apps that I paid for, what happens to them?
Would be my first flash, and I'm thinking about flashing one of those I9000 roms, but that would be a last ditch effort. I really hope to avoid this.

It's an AT&T U-verse router, and only started a few hours ago, as near as I can tell.
I experience the same phenomenon of dropped wifi, and it occurs at any AP, but I have an interesting twist.
One time out of twenty when I start wifi, the 3g icon doesn't go away, but stays up on the status line with my wifi icon. On those rare occasions, my wifi stays solid for days. Unfortunately, it's random and rare.
same issue
My Wifi stops sending data and the 3G still shows. Sometimes restarting the router helps and sometimes nothing helps.
For anyone that might find this later, turns out (after two rom flashes) it was the router. I found this out when connecting my laptop to it. Surprised the captivate didn't admit it lost connection though.
I wish that were the case for me. My Captivate stays connected, but stops receiving at many different APs--Home, Starbucks, airport. I need a solution or a Scotch.

I had this exact problem, I tried a factory reset and it was still broken. I exchanged my phone and now it works perfectly holding a signal (except for enterprise 802.1x ap's which are known to be broken). (Also if you run dd-wrt check your logs for "deauthenticated due to local deauth", there is a problem with the wpa/wpa2 modules in either android or dd-wrt that they are not compatible with each other).
I actually found this searching for a solution to my own issue with WiFi. I actually fixed it while I was reading this. Unfortunately I have AT&T DSL with 2wire Modem. I went into the setting and setup MAC filtering and assigned it it's own IP. It has worked flawlessly for the past hour. I know this probably will not help when at other locations but at least at home I have a good connection.

Same router type as mine that lost it originally. Interesting, wonder if there is a connection? Or random coincidence.
I'm having a wifi issue as well, but not to the extent others have.
I connect fine, but it appears as though my data download speed is capped at <2mbps for both wifi and 3g?
My wife's iPhone is getting download speeds of over 10mbps on the same wifi network and >3mbps over 3g.
Is it worth flashing back to stock? or is this a known issue?
I'm running stock JH3 with SRE 1.2.1a with lagfix
I have this same issue and it's really random. Running JH2, sometimes it works on wifi, sometimes it doesn't. Sometimes disabling\re-enabling wifi fixes it, but rebooting the phone always fixes it. Really frustrating...
Hi all,
Captivate with Cognition 2.2B9.1.1
Android 2.2
Belkin router (it is at home so I can't get the model number right now)
The simple problem is that my captivate will connect to all of the other wifi networks that I use but it stopped connecting to the one at home. All other phones and computers in the house connect just fine. The interesting thing is that when you watch the connection status on the phone, it connects and then immediately disconnects and starts the handshake over again. I have watched this happen over and over again. Weird.
I first thought it was my router so I modified the settings by using different channels and security methods. No dice. I then reset my router to factory specs and still nothing. I want to blame the router but I am stuck thinking that it might be the phone. Is there a way to purge the WiFi and IP information? I would rather not dump my phone and restart if I can avoid it. Can this be done through a terminal app like other platforms?
Any ideas or similar experiences?
Thanks ahead of time.

So I dropped an updated Cognition Rom 2.3.b6 and solved the issue. Last night I cleared my RAM (level 1 and level 2) and when I got home the problem occurred again. Bizarre. Could I be clearing a cache that refuses to refresh? Ideas?
Hi, so here is my setup:
Darky's v8.0
Setirons 1.5.6
And Ive tried different modems, jk4, jl2, jl3
All of the sudden the other day, my phone stopped connecting to wifi. It will detect the network, then try to connect to it, then just stop and say "disconnected" and my wireless network will say either "remembered" or sometimes "disabled". Ive tried installing all 3 of the modems above, and each has the same problem, making me think it's something else. I also tried forgetting the network, rebooting, deleting the cahce, turning wifi on/off, data network on/off, and airplane mode on/off, and nothing helps. It was a really sporadic event and I've searched far and wide for a solution. Anyone have ideas?
this is what it does: I click "connect", it says connecting-disconnected. Split second change. Then it scans for a second, connecting-disconnected, it only takes a split second to change to disconnected.

I get this problem occasionally. Only thing that can fix it is a reboot.
Interesting, I have tried that. Is there any special trick the the reboot? As in... should wifi be on/off? do you have to "forget" the network before the reboot?
See if your phone can connect to another wifi point. That way you can rule out router issues. I have had issues with my router and wireless phones in the past.

I had that happen once.
I rebooted a few times, flashed two different modems, flashed Odin back to 2.1, then on to Cognition 3.03, and nothing...
...then I rebooted/reset my router.

Well, I just tried to connect to a random secured network, threw in a random password, and it would sit on "obtaining IP address" then just switched to disconnected, scanning, and started the whole process over. I just moved, but the problem started before I moved, although I'm still using the same router now.

I'll try it again, but like I said, I did just move so my router was definitely reset. But, doing it once more couldnt hurt =]
I had that problem with cognition 2.3b8, then I flashed to perception and the problem went away. May want to try reflashing the original rom and see if the problem goes away.

I planned on flashing a new rom later today, so I will check it out then. It just seems weird, this has happened to me before and it just fixed itself after a couple days... There must be something specific causing it.
Also, I can use MobileAP just fine. I think its weird that I can create a wifi network but can't connect to one.
So, before rooting, my One X had great Wifi connection. No issues. Now that I'm rooted, I can't connect to wifi to save my life. I tried the wifi fix (not the ROM, but the 3 files instead) and still nothing.
I've tried turning off Mobile Network while wifi was on, turning mobile network on while wifi was on, tried restarting the wifi....
I cannot get a connection to the Store, browsers won't open webpages, it's essentially done for. Yet every other device in my house can access the router just fine (and it's not just here, it's elsewhere.)
Anyone have any ideas how to fix this short of flashing the new ROM (which I can't do from my house since the HTC drivers always fail to install.)
Have you tried running fix permissions to see if there's some sort of error holding things up? The only other thing I could think to do is to do a factory restore of the phone, unfortunately...
