Sorry if this has already been covered in another forum.
My wifi on the samsung mesmerize is not working properly, 3G works just fine. I try and go online from my wifi connection it says server problem, if I go to my wifi settings it says it's connected. Help would be much appreciated, I have a very fast internet and would like to take advantage of it, especially considering my psu just blew on the pc! I have pulled 10 mbs on this phone using wifi before. Haven't installed a new app that would prevent anything with the wifi that I'm aware of, just wiped my phone the other day, saturday actually. Again any help would be great.

We're going to need to know what you're currently running.
As far as I know, no one is having issues with Wi-fi on either 2.1 or 2.2
My wifi sometimes won't turn on and I have to reboot to fix it, try that?

Yea if that don't fix it try pulling the battery.
Although since the phone is telling you i'ts connected I'm now thinking this is probably app related...(which a reinstall or reflash may correct)
I also have wifi issues with my fascinate, running froyo. I turn wifi on, and it works until the phone sleeps. Then at some point (seem to be a different amount of time each time) I lose my connection to the net. It still says the wifi is connected (wifi symbol at the top). But if I attempt to use google talk, or pull up a web page I do not have access to the internet. If i turn wifi off, and then right back on, all is well (until the next time it sleeps).
There is an app called wifi keep alive. If i check all the options on that app it helps. I see the issue far less often, but it still happens, and using this app my battery life suffers a little.
I am running the latest MIUI with the InvisibleK kernel. I get the tether to start and allow access, I connect to it with my computer, but it always says limited access. It never actually connects. Is this a kernel issue, a ROM issue, or what?
Thanks in advance.
Not sure if this is still a requirements for wireless tether, but do you have the android.tether folder on your SD card with the proper file in it? Also try toggling your access control and allow your computer on the access control list. Those are the only things I can think of off the top of my head.
*It's IncREDible*
I have not changed anything from what the ROM installed. I downloaded the WiFi tether app from Google's code page.
I reverted back to my backup of SkyRaider4. The computer connects every time now with the WiFi Tether, but it now tells me there is no internet access... I am thoroughly confused.

I've been having issues running CM 7 with the built in tether. I finally got it to work for awhile when I downloaded an older version of wifi tether. It's still iffy, though.

I have the DNS set to the Google servers - 8.8.8.8. Would this be causing problems?

I found a version of wireless tether from mid 2010 on the google code page and it finally works...
Thanks everyone for your help.
I'm using version 2.0.7 and it's absolutely flawless. We just moved and haven't gotten internet set up yet and it's all I use, I've put a couple of gigs through it in a day without a single issue running my laptop and PS3. I was running SR4.0, now I'm on the gingerbread leak. No problem with either. Hope this helps.

I'm running the Reemption ROm and have never been able to get Wireless Tether to work, but hacking the DNS settings for Mobile Hotspot works perfect.

I can't believe you haven't flashed a ROM in that long, or you flashed and went back. GB has a lot more to offer than froyo these days.

Actually I just reflashed Redemption 2.4 today, cause my phone was starting to strange stuff.
I've tried a number of ROM's but keep coming back to Redemption. But, once there's a really stable GB ROM where everything works I'll probably make the move.
I'm experiencing intermittent connectivity while tethering my thunderbolt through either wifi or a usb cable. I usually have to restart the app or the phone to get it back. Anyone else experiencing this?
i used to have this happen to me alll the time. now i rarely see it. was using bamf rom at the time and nothing but grief. now i'm on synergy rom and using wireless tether 2.07 and no problems. which rom/kernel/radio are you using?

funny you should mention that as i'm using bamf 3.0 haha. Guess I know what I need to do now.
btw, the latest wireless tether app, the 3.01 or something, doesn't work. try either the 207 or 205 version. whichever will give you better stability. the stock tethering app that comes with the rom and anyother rom, doesnt give me good results. i wasn't able to download even a 350mb rom without loosing the 4g, no its not a problem. i also noticed that the 4g disappears whenever i opened too many tabs at the same time on tethered computer. guess too many pages loading at the same time somehow overloads something. i have no explanation.
I use BAMF and have same problem and i noticed connectivety dropped when display went to sleep so when tethering i turn it to not cut off and i have no problems now

this is a different problem. i think that he's talking about the 4g connection disappearing for a second, then reappearing, but being unable to tether anymore. happens at random. ur talking about he wifi sleep policy thing.
I've tried every AOSP Rom/Kernel variations and I can't get anything to stay USB 4g tethered for more then 5 minutes. Tshed was flying with stock CM7 USB tether and then all of the sudden doesn't work. I tried all AOSP Roms. And wired-tether 1.4 is what I use. Please help me out. I have this phone for another year and that's all I'm missing. Please help. A trick, known set up, etc maybe. Anything not to have to reset the app every 3-5 minutes or so. I can't believe I haven't seen this brought up lately? Is it only me?

Yeah u have to install software on every PC u wanna use and that kinda sucks but I still get the frequent resets and they're connection is pretty slow. I have to reset pdanet, wired-tether 1.4, etc. Every few minutes. I used watershed 1.2 cm7 stock USB tether and it worked beautifully for about a day and then nothing. So I flashed imo's kernel and stock tether doesn't work at all but I have to reset wired-tether 1.4 every 3-5 minutes or so.

I don't use USB tethering often, but when I do, the built in version always works perfectly. Tried it on OMFGB, liquid AOSP, and workshed CM7. An older version of Imo's kernel (version 4 I think) supports USB tethering.

I use easy tether and have no issues. For wifi tether I use opengarden (faster than USB tether) don't have issues with either.
And its only when I try to use 4G. 3G will stay tethered all day long if i let it but its just way to slow. I usually get 15-20 Mbps down with USB tether 4g. Thats fast as hell. I wish I had a little Porto WiFi adapter for my work PC's. Cuz yeah when I wifi tether my AOKP TouchPad I dont have this problem.
There may be something wrong specifically with his ROM. I have USB Tethering working fine on my Sense-based ROM, but I tried his and it would work for 15 seconds and stop working, then never reconnect. I tried having something persistently connected to internet on my phone but that didn't help either.
I use the ClockworkMod Tether. Works on every ROM I've tried.
I was hoping I wasn't gonna have to resort to sense but I might have
to. I need this to just work. No installer PC ware

Ive tried my Phenom2 x6 and 2 Diff. Core 2 Duo's (that's just my House).
A few Newer laptops. Wifi tether worked no problem, just alot slower then straight USB (when it works).
There were a few at work I tried and No good either.
Back when I first started bringing up this issue (Sept.) I was told It was a known 4g issue (By a great Dev who has since moved to the Razor, hint hint) and that's why there is no problem with 3 g tethering at all. Just wondering If someone had a set up that completely works with out having to reset every 5 Min or so. I think I had good Luck with ThunderShed 1.3 this weekend. I fell asleep FTPing some stuff from my friend (good size) and It was finished when I woke up. That's a good sign so far. I just need one person to see this thread that has the perfect setup for 4G USB Tethering, 24/7 if need be. It would be great to know.

I always just used the built in wired tether with cm7. I had an issue once where it would drop in and out, but after doing a total reset and reloading cm7 once again, it was fine. I also don't use the DNS with the phone. I switch my DNS on my PC to be layer3 DNS (4.2.2.1 to 4.2.2.6). DNS is allegedly one of the ways they can track what device the transfer is coming from.

This could be big help. Im at work now but when I get home I will check into this more. Thanks so much. I can never get the built in USB tether to work from CM7. TShed's built in CM7 worked for a while then just cut out. The little name your connection from Win7 popped up but had no Internet at all. May be something to this. Thank you.

Might also try disabling IPv6 and anything else not needed on the connection as it won't actually tether through it anyways. It could be causing a conflict somehow

So you are running which cm7. I am now running TShed 1.3 and stock tether was great for about 20 minutes. Then just stopped. So turned off tether reset mobile data and 3g 4g. Nothing. Not even wired 1.4 works. Rebooted a few times, I've been at this for bout an hour now and still nothing. Not even wired 1.4. So I switched from auto to 4.2.2.1-4.2.2.6 DNS. Thanks for that bit of info. Now do I have to do that every time? Anyway I'm frigging stuck here and I hear all these people's are working fine.

If you set the DNS on your PC, it should stay that way. You can always verify if you need to. But yeah, I used cm7 and the built in tether just fine.

So every time my USB connection starts it gives me a new Connection(I'm up to like number 54. So I have to go in and set the DNS and disable ipv6 every time? How do I get my USB tether settings to stick on my Win7 Ultimate x64 every time I start my tether instead of it thinking its a brand new connection every time? I got ThunderShed 1.3(stock kernel) installed now and the stock tether isn't working but the wired-tether 1.4 is working great after a couple resets. It must have stuck for a few hours until I shut it off. That's great considering how bad of a time Ive been having.

Not sure why it keeps changing your connection number. It's never done that to me unless I've flashed a new ROM or something when I've used it on windows 7. Turning off and turning back on your wifi device might also do it (the one attached to your PC).
I updated my HTC sensation Z710e to andriod 4.0.3, HTC sense version 3.6
Soon after the update my wifi sometimes will detect the Router and then disappear. Cannot use my wifi at all.
Tried all changes in the settings. just wont remain on for even 5secs.
Tried pulling the battery out, restarting factory reset. Nothing works!
Please help!!!

Are you using a stock, or custom ROM?
same here
Yes, I have the same problem, occurred exactly right after the Android version upgrade of my Sensation.
I'm in touch with HTC support, but of course like all support channels, it's very hard for the guys to understand what the symptoms are. I keep telling them that I can't see any networks to try to connect and the guys keep telling me to disable mac filtering on my access point...
Anyway, I'm on it. If I can reach a solution, I'll let you know.
update
OK, here we go...
I have removed the SIM card.
I left the microSD inside.
I did a factory reset.
WiFi works perfect... After one hour it is still OK.
I shut down and insert the SIM card.
The auto-config for APN starts and triggers the 3G connection.
3G is fine.
But WiFi is dead.
Again, it detects the APs nearby but then it shuts down in one second...
Then can't detect any APs, of course...
I shut it down and remove the SIM card.
No luck, WiFi is still dead.
I have updated the guys in HTC support...
Let's see what they'll come back with.
Here in Andorra, we´ve the same problem After Update.The same problem. Its something about the Country Of the SIM. Here, if you put an Spanish or French SIM, WIFI OK. BUT if you use an Andorran´s SIM: WIFI DEAD...
I have the exact problem.......
I expect it solve in a week or two by HTC otherwise.... No more HTC after the XE
I have the same problem. The problem appeared after upgrading from GB to ICS. When I returned to the RUU - the problem still occurred. In general, helps clear the Dalvik cache - but after a while the problem comes back.

Sorry was travelling and did not see the posts. It was such a major problem not
having wifi while travelling. Lots of the airports had free wifi and i had to keep
pulling out my PC to tether
I am on stock ROM.
Any solutions yet??
Same problem here. Wifi stays stuck on "turning on" and will never turn on. Sometimes it says error. Also, bluetooth exhibits the same symptoms, except it gives up after a while and just goes back to off.
Any help would be greatly appreciated.
Yeah I have the same problem.

I've tried many different roms, wifi works sometimes. Then it will turn on and off continuously, getting my hopes up then leaving me frustrated. I can't believe I'm considering getting another phone because of this stupid wifi issue.
Do you also have problems with getting notifications when wifi is on? For example whatsapp or gmail?

It's like it will work for a few days perfectly, then this intermittent behavior happens. My EDGE connection kicks in and I get notifications alright but my plan only has 150MB per month. (please don't laugh as I live in China, and don't laugh that my 4G phone is running EDGE). So I need WiFi to work all the time.
same problem i try manny roms but cant get the wifi to work did u guys find any solution?
I found a solution and you're not going to like it, I sold my Sensation and bought a Samsung Galaxy S3. Sorry HTC, byebye to you.
