[Q] Please help my WiFi is driving me nuts! - HTC Sensation

I am S-Off, and rooted
I had this problem with the ICS which I flashed after S-Off, so I rooted and flashed eleganza, SAME PROBLEM?!
Here's what happens-
WiFi connects with Router and shows correct strength, connects and downloads or surfs web or whatever then just stops dead! The device obviously thinks its connected to Wifi as it doesnt let the mobile signal kick in. If I disable WiFi it then connects to mobile network. If I reconnect to Wifi it works for a bit then disconnects as before.
This is driving me insane! any suggestions?

check your framwork and what about change the rom?
first: make sure you flash the right framwork
second: if it is all right ,i suggest you to flash the most beautiful rom (i guess),i have post the link below,make sure the right framwork again!
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1551714

I have the correct framework, second how is flashing a random ROM going to change anything?

try setting your phone to 2.4ghz only, maybe your router is dual band but fails when something connects to it on 5ghz (i've seen routers acting like that).
you can switch it on wifi advanced settings

Cheers Fido, but cant see anywhere in advance settings to change the phone.

settings - wifi (press menu), advanced settings - wifi frequency band - select 2.4Ghz only

I dont have that option onmy phone.

How are your other device behaving with the Wifi router? Are other devices experiencing the same issue as well? How does your phone work with some other wifi router?
Just try to narrow down to what device is at fault - your phone or the router?
Cheers, Jp

Ask for someone who has WiFi working's WPA_Supplicant.conf file. They'll find it in /etc/wifi. Not me because I don't have a Sensation.
After you get it, rename your current one to WPA_Supplicant.conf.bak. Paste the other person's one. Reboot and see if it works. If it stuffs, delete the persons and rename your backup back to WPA_Supplicant.conf.

Tried 2xdesieres and a kindle, all stay connected, just my sensation worked initially, looked like it was still connected but wouldn't load web page etc!!??

For what it's worth, here, take mine, try it out & see whether it works. Just rename & remove .txt at the end.

Thanks mate, tried that, no good, anyone any other ideas?

Try rebooting the router? :/ unplug the power and wait thirty seconds, then plug back in
Sent from my HTC Sensation Z710e using XDA

If the rom you flahed is ics then its not your router or anything like that the ics roms that are out for the sensation does not have a steady connection its ics related if you look in the dev section youll find a fix for it that you can flash through cwm,itll give you a more steady connection but the times that i used it it did give me a better connection but i still went in n out at times

WIFI problems after official HTC ROM update

WIFI problems after ROM update on ATT tilt
After installing the official ATT ROM update (1.62.502.0) on my ATT tilt I have
wifi problems. This was not present before installing the ROM update.
I can connect just fine to all access points with the comm mananger. However, when I try
to browse the internet, I get the message "Page cannot be found. Please check spelling and
try again". I get this message with all with web sites.
I know there's something wrong because this happens even on unsecured networks like airports,
coffee shops etc. Other programs needing internet acces don't work either (like the
weather update, Quick GPS etc)
Before you ask ... Yes, I have searched extensively before posting.
Okay, now that that's out of the way...
I noticied that others have experienced the same problem and I did found several suggestions
however none of these work . This is what I have tried until now:
- hard reset (1234) and soft reset
- flashed the ROM again
- flashed other roms
- flashed an other radio sign
- deleted the temporary internet files
- changed the browser settings
- disable / able proxy settings
- run again welcome.exe in the /windows directory
- refresch in PIE
- restored a sprite backup
Here are some (but not all) of the URL's where I found these 'solutions':

None of all this worked ...
I have been searching for days (and nights) now ... It's driving me crazy ...
especially beacuse the new ROM should provide 'more stability' accordingly to the HTC website ...
For me this new ROM only caused problems .....
Please help me.
Thank you, yours,

weird.. I was in a spot where I had zero service and I connected to my wifi and it worked and it's been working ever since.
Something similar happened to me while trying ROMs, the 1.65.XX.XX radios do not work well with my WiFi router, it connects and gets an IP but does not transfer packets, after 2 minutes or so of trying you can access a page, but then it fails again, etc
This happens with 1.65.14.06 and 1.65.20.29 radios.
I'm running 1.65.16.25 radio now and it works well, GPS fix is fast, WiFi connection works, 3G and HSDPA work,
You guys might need to put the power mode of the wifi to performance. This is under settings.

Yes I know there's that setting. But I tested 1.65 radios while seated at 10 feet from my WiFi router and in direct line of sight. Radio 1.58.26.20 has very fast GPS fix, and connects perfectly to my router.
Radio 1.65.14.06 does not work well in any of those cases. Even if increasing the power of the WiFi solved the problem, it's much convenient to just flash another radio.

universal and wifi

hi everybody! finally i got this wonderful mobile phone! i'm just disappointed by the fact i can't connect to any wireless network... not even mine, which is proprly configured... i can obtain the list of all the networks, i see if they are free, if they are encrypted and so on, but when i try to connect to mine or the free ones appears "connecting..." and then it skips this connection and try with the following one... how comes it does so? i tried with different versions of OSs but it's always the same issue... i also disassembled it and everything is it its place... can anyone help me please? thanks
Welcome to forums
Yes, you have one of the best devices ever made!
Try a hard reset or reflash another ROM
Here instructions:
http://wiki.xda-developers.com/index.php?pagename=HTC_Universal
Good luck,
already tried, but nothing... i tried to use the tomal one, the italian one and the chinese one... but it's not working... do u have any idea why? in my opinion the hardware it's fine, as long as it can see the networks the wifi is working. but the software is not responsible because i tried 3 different roms and it's always the same... i really can't imagine where could be the cause...
Try to do A doc format
what do you mean?
EDIT: now i read about it, i already did it and i'm flashing right now!
EDIT 2: No, it's not working... always showing "connecting" but then just goes back to "available" status for the network, it just does not work...

OK one thing you should notice is Universal is only capable b class of wireless so.. and see what class of wifi modem you have and try to install following cab (which i got from Jonny) it should make it capable of wifi b and g and see if problem still presists try another wifi modem and still same then i suspect it might be hardware issue....
also, isn't the radio responsible for wifi connection? perhaps try a different radio?
mine is b/g both active... i'll try that rajivshahi!
@jonny: i both tried .18 and .15... should i try the previous ones?
EDIT: I tried installing that .cab, but it's not working... do i have to do something in particular after installing it? what do you mean by hardware issue? what could be wrong with it if i see the networks?

the cab just creates a some registry. so try to connect to other modem and see... if everything fail then it might be issue with uni's hardware... as if it was software issue flashing to another rom and another radio should fix it...
just a quick question.... does it connect to a open network or is it just the encrypted oneş.... i cant connect to any other than a WEP network...???
Try this (Configure Wireless Network, DON'T activate "This is a hidden network")

Maybe this will help:
In my case, after a hardreset, I cannot connect to a Wi-Fi Network until I do the following.
1.Turn on Wi-Fi--> when your network shows up, enter the Network key and hit "Connect". (Here is, where the device tries to connect, but does not! IS THIS YOUR CASE?)
2.Go to Wi-Fi-settings (through the Communications-Manager) --> push and hold your finger on your network to open the context menu --> select "edit".
3.At the "Configure Wireless Network" page make sure the check for "This is a hidden network" is NOT set! --> Hit "Next".
4.At the "Configure Network Authentication" choose for Authentication "WPA-PSK" and for Data Encryption: "TKIP". (Make sure the Network key is entered.) Hit "Next" and then "Finish."
Again your device will try connecting and (hopefully ) be successful!

HTC-Universal
ROM: Tomal v10 WM6.5 Build 5.2.21872 (http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=573739)
RAM: 64MB
Radio: 1.18
Welcome aboard
Thanks for that tip, hope can solve the issues some members reported
the point is that i can't connect to open networks... now i don't have any encrypted networks i can access... and i tried to set the networks as not hidden, bit it's not working... mdajj got exactly what happens to me "hit "Connect": here is, where the device tries to connect, but does not!" and it shows directly "unavailable status for the network, while the router is on the same desk i am sitting in front of. T_T
now i start thinking that the uni can connect only to encrypted netwoks... how could it be? i bought it because of the opposite reason...
Wifi cannot connect if signal is too low.
Unmount the device, check the wifi/antenna connection and make sure that it is not getting touched with other assembly...
i already did it, and i checked again today, the antenna is fine it does not touch anything and its shape is perfect... BUT today i noticed something missing, i have no idea why i never noticed before... the conductive tapes are missing, but even if they were in place, they'd not touch the antenna, so i guess it's not a problem... am i right?
wifi connection problems
Can I suggest a non technical approach. I also had a lot of problems with wifi a couple of years ago, it turned out to be the BATTERY I had a noname battery from Hong Kong that I think just wasn't generating enough power. The phone and everything seemed to work fine except for wifi. When I replaced the battery wifi suddenly worked perfectly. If you know anyone else with a Uni that works on wifi swap the battery and give it a try.
i also thought about that, but even when the power supply is connected to the phone wifi does not work... and then i have 2 batteries, one is not original, Yaobao brand, and the other one seems to be original, but with both does not work... [both 1620mAh]
Thinking about this, I don't know whether this is relavent, or simply an earth... but the original battery has metal case (or partially), which has a contact pressed to it when inserted in Uni. I have replacement batteries with solely plastic cases, so the contact isn't made. This doesn't affect my wifi, but it's just a thought.
yea, u r right, i did not noticed before... i have both kind of batteries, with one it makes contact, with the other it doesn't... and it's still not working! by the way thanks for the help!

Help - Cm7 Update - G2x - No APN connection....

Hey Everyone,
Whenever I update to any version of cm7 and flash a new kernel with it I lose APN connectivity... I can't manually connect either. No 2g/4g nothing. Wifi is fine. I've tried multiple versions of cm7, etc. I don't have the same issue with Eagle 1.0.4 and/or Team Whiskey, flashing back to stock, etc. but anytime I try to check out CM7 I can't get it going! I figure it's something simple but does anyone have any ideas so I can try to get some OC going! Lol...
Thanks Everyone...

It's already been reported. A mod will move it shortly. Next time post in the Q&A section. This area is for Development only...hence the name.
Try it without the kernel.
- BFL
I've been recently having the same problem.
Not a problem, this was a question concerning development and more or less the roms I'm downloading from this section hence I posted it here... won't happen again.
As for flashing w/out the kernel, I thought you needed another kernel to run cm7 with? I'm trying to overclock basically which I can't do on the stock kernel either.... so I'm not really sure what to do but I'll see if I can flash back to gingerbread, get my data going and flash back to cm7 w/out using any new kernel... have to make sure the rom doesn't autoinstall the new kernel either when you flash the rom

What works for me is a hard reboot. Hold volume up and power for 8 seconds. Apn should be there when you boot back up (usually). I have this issue with stock and any other kernel
Sent from my LG-P999 using XDA App
SOLVED!
I had the exact same issue and fixed it by installing the SIM card that came in the GX2 box.
I had been using my Nexus One SIM up to that point. The T-Mobile customer service rep told me that the G2X needed the updated SIM card and that without it, there would be data issues when not on Wi-Fi.
Write the SIM card information down before installing it in the G2X and calling T-Mobile (or whoever is your service provider) b/c they need the serial number in order to properly provision the phone.

Worked like a charm!!! Thank you!!
Simple yet effective lol
Finally up and running on cm7 with no apparent issues to report!
Also I found out that going into settings,into the apn settings,pressing menu then reset to default seem to kick it outta limbo
Great info everyone, thanks!
I'm still working on getting the market up and running on cm7, but otherwise everything is running really clean!
Thread moved to proper forum.
I have the same issue, and only on CM7..
Other Stock roms work OK for 3G
I have 2 sims - one uses regular APN setting (supplied from simcard) the other one is manual
The one that uses default (simcard) apn worked once after first install..
Than doesnt work..
VOL up + power didnt do the trick..
Whenever I put the custom APN simcard, it doesnt apply the settings..
Very weird..
I'm using the SIM out of my G2x box. Maybe it helps a little but it still happens when coming from a reboot, wifi, or airplane mode.
When you go to Mobile Networks, it won't connect to any of the listed networks.
This is already known and discussed, but to put a solution to this thread:
Go into Mobile network.
Let it scan
Select ANY network, it will error
Select Automatic until it reconnects again
Done.
Once it reconnects, you should be able to go into APN settings and see "Simple" and "T-Mobile". Sometimes if you can you select "Simple" then select "Tmobile" again, it speeds things up.
Works EVERY time. Sucks it requires this most of the time but it only takes a second and will stay connected for as long as the phone is turned on.
Hard reset (VolUP+Power) didnt work..
Is it a problem with their firmware?
I require custom APN's on my Network operator -- stock (or eagle blood/team bionics) work great, but CM7 doesnt for some reason..
Cant figure out why..
Even 7.1 RC0

APN's won't stick until you do what I said above. Once you disconnected and reconnect, APN's should pop up. If you created your own APN, it should THEN be displayed.
Even customs APN's won't be displayed until you disconnect/reconnect using the methods above.

I feel like we're missing a step here. There isn't anything to select, unless you go under Network Operators or Access Point Names. APN is blank for me, so i can't select anything, and doing anything under Network operators doesn't work...

Strange WIFI issue

Hi
My Sensation is having problems with the WIFI in my home. When I visit other people and use their WIFI I dont experience the same issues, which leads me to believe that it is an issue with my router.
The problem is that I have to turn the wireless off and on again on the phone a few times a day, because it suddenly doesnt work. When it happens the phone shows full WIFI bars and tells me that it is connected, but it doesnt work. But after turning it off and on, it always works again.
I have tried changing the channel to 11 in the router but that hasnt helped. Is there a solution to this very annoying issue?

Besides obviously getting another router, have you tried removing the wifi connection from your list, reboot and then adding the wifi back on like a new connection? Besides not knowing your current setup (what rom you are on, if any) and when you select menu to bring up the advanced menu, is the 'avoid poor connections selected' or available as an option? Also is there a wi-fi frequency band option? If so make sure you have auto ticked off.

Im on stock 4.03.
I have now tried your suggestions. Removed the wifi connection, rebooted and reconnected. I will let you know how that turned out.
I dont have any of the options in the wifi menu that you mention, however I do have the option of using a static IP, would that maybe help?
I still have that issue when on ICS 4.0.3/4 Sense 4. But not Sense 3.5/6 and Jellybean. I put out a logcat but they told me to use WiFIX but that never did me anything. They also told my my security on my router WPA/WPA2 is not supported well in Sense 4 or something. I'm just patiently waiting for someone to help me with that same problem so I can try ICS stock and Sense 4.

My new idea is that it could be something to do with the router. According to some threads ive across the phone doesnt like wireless n networks and wpa/wpa2 security. I think my router is setup with those two things. I guess I will try changing that. If that doesnt help maybe setting up a static IP would be worth a try

I would change my security but I have about 10+ devices connected in the household and once you change it they don't reconnect; you have to re-enter the password and everything. The downside in my household at the moment. But as for the StaticIP. I wouldn't mind doing that to be honest. Let me know how these two options work out for you because I might make a change to my router settings if one of these works out.
I had the same problem after upgrading to ICS. It seems that even if you have set your ip to static it still wont connect to the internet. This is because there is no option to change the subnet mask address from the usual static ip config. Try installing any DNS setting tool to your phone and check the setting on your ip again. Hope this helps.

P6200 WiFi Issue

Hey guys. This is my first thread here. So, I hope you can help me.
When I upgraded my GT+ to ICS then now to JB, I already had problems with the WiFi. I thought I would find the problem in the forums, but mine I think is different. There are two arrows in the WiFi indicator, the orange and the green ones. When these two arrows are both lighted up, it means that it is transferring data to the Tab or whatsoever so that I could connect to the Internet. Well, this is based on my understanding, hope you could still help me about this.
So, the problem is, whenever I open the internet and enter an URL, the green arrow stops blinking leaving the orange ones lighted up until both of them are already not blinking and then the browser says, "Webpage not available" (like the attachment below). It happens all the time and whenever I update my Apps in the Google Play, after, example: 23% of downloading the app, it stops and the same scenario happens again. What I do is, I will turn off the WiFi toggle and turn it on again and after, maybe 30 minutes, it happens again.
What do you think guys is the problem? Is it the router or modem's problem too? Or it is a software issue? Thank You guys! ))

What I do is, I will turn off the WiFi toggle and turn it on again and after, maybe 30 minutes, it happens again.
What do you think guys is the problem? Is it the router or modem's problem too? Or it is a software issue? Thank You guys! ))

Yes. I have tried it on my sister's S3 Mini. I never experienced that scenario when my GT+ was still Honeycomb. It just happened when I updated it to ICS.
These are also some happenings:
- When I will refresh the Accuweather widget, it will happen again. Both of the arrows will stop blinking.
- When I am updating 15 Apps (for example), again, Both of the arrows will stop blinking then it will stop downloading.
- When I am using Google Now then I said something, it will just show "Recognizing" then it sill show "No connection."
- When I am surfing the web and then I searched something, again the arrows will stop blinking, then the browser says, "Webpage is not available"
- When I am uploading photos to Facebook, same scenario again and then it will show, "No connection"
The WiFi is not disconnecting actually. It stays connected but it stops giving data. I'm suffering from this problem since ICS. I don't know what's really the source of this problem. That's why I'm seeking for help here in XDA. Thank youuuu.
Most likely your router is dlink? Change the router, use a tplink one

Okay okay. I'll try. Thanks!
My router actually is Tenda and I think it's already old. So, I'll try other routers. )
Make sure you have the correct wifi frequency band set on your tab for your region/or router. I'm not sure if the stock Samsung roms let you configure it. In aosp builds it's in wifi and advanced menu.

In the Advanced menu, it only shows the IP and MAC Address. How can I know the correct frequency band? I posted an attachment for the picture of the Advanced Settings. )
It seems the problem come from your modem.
I had similar problem like this. My wifi router connect to modem and sometimes this modem does not allocate IP for router.
This problem is most likely related to IP configuration issues. Let try to use some apps to list down all configurations and check
I only experience this every after flashing roms coz my apn settings always gets edited, what I did before if i dont want problems with wifi every after flashing roms using odin was I copied my apn settinngs and edit the wrong apn settings after flashing, or I remove sim card before flashing but I made a copy of apn just to be sure

APN has nothing to do with wifi. APN applies to your cell data connection. 3g, LTE, etc. not to wifi.
