I would like to know if there is any way I can have my WiFi internet on my MT4GS,without my Sim card in the phone .Probably just surfing the net or using "whats app". I have tried and my cell doesn't connect to the WiFi router at all.Can someone advise on settling this matter ? My phone is unlocked and rooted.I haven't taken the update,so I'm still on the stock ROM.
I used my old windows touch pro 1 cell and it connects to the WiFi router without Sim card.So what can I do to get the WiFi internet on my MT4GS?
You should just have it.
I have two of these devices - one on T-Mobile, the other bought aftermarket out of plan. No sim card, yet I connect to wifi everywhere, even use it as a wifi bridge to my router for a desktop in my home.
Just go into settings, wireless settings, then turn on wifi and tap 'wifi settings' underneath it. You should see your network in the list, just tap it and enter a password if necessary.
Done.
This doesn't work for you?
Sim card has nothing to do with wifi, only cellular.
Maybe the fact that your phone is rooted. But I don't know my rooted cliq is rooted an connects to WiFi fine...

Could be, my buddy has a stock mytouch and he can't get on wifi without a sim either..

I don't think so - I just got it back from HTC and it's not rooted yet, still stock the same way I shipped it out to them. Gets on wifi fine with no sim card.
It does have an S-OFF bootloader, but I don't see how that would matter.
I do find this curious.
What exactly happens when you try to connect to a wifi network?
Does it even see the wifi networks?
Where does the ability to connect fail?
You should be able to connect. It'll have that option at the HTC setup wizard.

Says scanning ,then tries to acquire ip address then it disconnects and starts all over with the same result.Secondly I remembered the last two programs that were causing me problems in installing and uninstalling were Bloater and Busybox ,before my WiFi went haywire.I gave up trying and hence I was preparing to send my cell back to HTC, since it was still within the warranty period.I unrootted my cell and now my WiFi works again.So i really can't say exactly what caused this malfunction as yet .Thank you guys,for such quick responses.This really makes me feel proud to be part of an outstanding group of people here,and as whole, part of xda-developers.I thank you all for your help an assistance.Hopefully this information might help someone else someday.
Maybe it's your router

No my girlfriend,has the same phone with me and it connected .Had tried another router and it still didn't connect.
I do it all th time with several brands of phones. I have had problems the constanly connecting and reconnecting when there are too many devices around at the same time.
Sometimes it is the router and internet going through "spells".

Yes, "innerwebs" with wifi works without a sim card.
My g2 AND my other 4g slide both connect to my router without a sim in them.
But they are rooted with different roms so......

I just got my Sensation today, unboxed it, but it won't do anything over the internet over wi-fi. I have connected it to my wi-fi router and it says it is connected with 4 bars of signal, but whenever I try to go to a webpage it brings up the Android fault screen saying "Webpage not available", it seems to do the same thing when connected through my pc (having said that, I am less sure my settings are correct for that to work).
I have moved from a Motorola Milestone, which works perfectly on the same network.
Does anyone have any ideas what I am doing wrong?
Cheers,
Dave

the only thing i can personally think is try making sure your router has all the latest drivers.....better yet...try to connect to a different wifi spot to eliminate phone or router. if, with a different known working router it doesn't work, then get worried.
I'm having similar problems. With my Vodafone sim everything works fine, but with my T-Mobile sim (which I want to use until my number is ported), I get 4 bars of HSDPA signal but no data connection and the wi-fi doesn't work.

Thanks, glad I'm not the only one. I've just tried it with my T-Mobile sim, and that has the same problems. Will probably try calling vodafone tomorrow or going in store, I hold out more hope of finding someone helpful online though. My experience of store staff is not 100% positive for technical stuff.
WiFi is good on mine although I don't get a 3g signal at all at home. T mobile sim doesn't connect to internet either but hopefully that should be because the internet settings should be changed for t mobile. I'm hoping that any issue we have can be sorted with a new radio.

You'll probably need to add new APN settings for t-mobile, as the Vodafone Sensation only has the vodafone APN.
lol that what i meant. but vodafone should have a better signal that t-mobile its struggling to keep 1 bar. hope this not one of those antenna bugs that my old tytn 2 had
I've not yet tried WiFi but my mobile data is now working fine on T-Mobile with the following APN settings;
Name: TMobile GPRS
APN: general.t-mobile.uk
Username: user
Password: pass
Enter that via the APN option in settings under wireless networks.

It looks like it is a problem with my router / network. I have managed to get wireless working on a different wireless network, so I think I need to play with my router to see if I can get that to work.
Thanks for all the help guys.
Has anyone else had a problem with wifi after the AT&T update? I returned my first Infuse because it would not connect after the update.It would show full connection strength , but say "You have no internet connection. Now I'm afraid to update the new phone.

My wifi connection is better since the update. You may want to check other things like your router, etc. Try the Wifi Analyzer app available in the market to help you troubleshoot.
wifi not connecting unless turn off then back on?
I'm new to this but Im having wifi issues as well. No matter what wifi i go around i have to turn off then back on my wifi for it to connect. Does any body had this issue or know what might be wrong?
Do you have SSID broadcasting enabled? My Infuse wasn't able to connect to a hidden SSID after the update.. Had to broadcast and enable security to get it to work.
Got the phone today. Wifi issues right off the back. Can't even get past 128kb. lol.
Phone is being returned.
Why was this bumped....

Today I received a new Sim-free (but S-On) Sensation as a replacement for my old Hero. Hero had been working fine with my wifi (WPA2 mixed).
I then swapped Sim into the Sensation and booted it. I also reflashed my Hero with VR13, which I had been using as I am giving the phone to my parents. Both phones will connect to my router BUT neither can access any sites or data. IF I take the security off then they can connect. This is not ideal though.
Does anyone know how to solve this? Or as to why this has suddenly happened?

Did you try the wifi protected setup option? When I hit it, the prompt then says to press the WPS (wifi protected setup) button on your wireless point for 5 secs...
Negative on that one too my friend. Ahh well, I will try it on another router and see what happens
Okay I posted a while back about this. For the past 2 weeks my wifi will connect and about 5 mins later won't load anything, but says I'm still connected. I've unplugged my router ( At&T router) and plugged it back in, no difference. I had att replace the router today and still having the same problem. I have it on wpa. I need to fix this, I run everything through my phone and this is really affecting my day to day. Any advice?
Infuse running infused v2.0.2.
If you're still using the stock ROM like I am, I'm finding the WiFi reception on my Infuse to be the worst I've ever experienced on any phone I've ever had. Lets hope the Gingerbread update fixes it.

Download wifi analyzer from the market and look see if there are several wifi networks on the same channel as your wifi. If so, change the channel on your router and see if that helps.
Also, what's the model on your router?
Even I've faced this issue ever since I got the phone but still there's no fix.
The problem is with a particular make of the router. I read online about it and there are more than 2 problems here.
1. If the router is a multiprotocol - bgn router, it might be a problem if the router is running in mixed mode. Our phone supports only b and g. In any case, if u enter the MAC address of ur phone into ur router, it might solve the problem.
2. If the router is not broadcasting the SSID i.e in hidden SSID mode, there might be wifi issues. Change the settings to remove the hidden SSID.
3. There is a PSP mode (Power save polling) mode in the hardware which will put the wifi to sleep if the phone goes to sleep (It is different than the wifi sleep policy) If the phone goes to this mode, some routers wont be able to send packets to the phone and this causes wifi to get disconnected.
If you try to connect to a public wifi, u should be able to connect. I guess the problem is only in ur home. I have the same problem but sadly i cant change any router settings since I stay in a university dorm...
Hope this helps!

Wanted to say I have a Verizon Actionteck router with FIOS and I am having the same issue with my Samsung Infuse 4G, only I am not using WPA I am using WPA2. I have to restart my device and then the device will work. Currently with WPA2 and I hide the SID and have the setting "Connect even when not broadcasting" enabled.
Thoughts ? I still have the 2.2 OS yes rooted.
I am using the stock ROM and currently roaming overseas right now and cannot connect to WiFi calling no matter how many networks I try to access. It attempts to connect and then goes from blue to red and says "REG09 "Missing911 Address..." TMO is useless in their effort to resolve this, my 911 address is in my profile, and the same problem is happening on my friend's TMO Galaxy SII.
Anyone have any solutions?
You need to register you physical address with Tmobile. This is required for 911 emergency response calling.
Then try flushing your cache and see if it resets.
My 911 address IS registered and always has been!

I get the same issue using the WiFi at work. I have the address set up and everything but I think it has something to do with the network settings and maybe a certain port being closed or some sort of network restrictions. I think I liked the old WiFi calling app better because it didn't have the requirements this integrated WiFi calling does and it worked on a lot more WiFi networks for me wish that fixed that.

TMO advertises WiFi Calling to be used when roaming to avoid roaming charges, so doubt that is an issue. As for the network, I have tried many networks in several European countries to no avail - including friend's networks that have no potential port blocking like some hotels do for example.
