[Q] Wifi signal?
Does anyone get a weak wifi signal with their Nexus S? Whenever I connect to my at home wifi I never get full bars and something I'll just randomly lose signal. Also it seems to go pretty slow. I used to have the Mytouch4G and it work flawlessly with the wifi. Anyone else having this problem?

OMG yesss I do.
Just about a room away I loose signal, almost completely. = 0
IDK, but I see more flaws every day that passes
Mine's been working fine over Wi-Fi. I'm pretty glad it does too, because my only data option with it is Wi-Fi..
Sent from my Droid using XDA App
Wifi has been working great for me. It reconnects automatically and doesn't drop. The signal seems on par with my nexus one.
Speed wise, is it on par with the 3G network?
[Q] Wifi does not work anymore after rooting :(
So, I unlocked my Android 2.3.1 and rooted it ... But if I click on wifi so I could connect to my modem it says Error and wont even search or anything. I tried reseting too but still no luck .. What is the problem and how to fix this ??
That's odd, I didn't have any issues with wifi as I connected to Android Market to downloaded ROM Manager during my rooting process earlier. Have you tried flashing a custom ROM on your device to see if it'll fix it?
No I didnt, would that work? .. A friend told me to install a new "kernel" but I dont want to overwhelm my android with custom made kernels .
your problem is you used one of the quick methods of rooting your phone, which used a kernel that wasn't from the exact rom you have.
if your on stock 2.3.1, you will need the stock 2.3.1 boot.img, and then you'll need to root it manually the long way via adb command line. search the nexus s development section for how-to's. they are all there.
i too had this problem, had to install MoDaCo ROM to fix it, but i dont regret rooting, i now have custom rom and over clocked cpu on the nexus s
you have two options, either to flash NANDROID backup to un-root and return to stock or install a custom ROM, i choose MoDaCo bcoz of its UI, it looks and feels just like the stock one.

Yes, that's the point of MoDaCo roms, to make minimal changes to the look and feel of the phone, but to improve performance with his custom optimizations.
[Q] Nexus S wifi issue. Unable to access wifi from my nexus s.
Hi Guys,
I was able to connect to my wifi network for a day. I am using windows 7 machine as hotspot with connectify. From second day I am unable to connect to any wifi network. I did factory reset my nexus s but no results . Can some one help me how to solve this issue?
Observations:
*when i use static ip, It shows connected but the bars are in white instead of green color and i am unable to browse.
*When i use dynamic ip I am unable to connect to wifi. It shows obtaining Ip and never connects.
*In connectify when I was able to connect to wifi the device is shown with an android device name. but now the device is shown as unknown.
Sorry for my bad english, I m not a native english speaker.
[Q] Nexus S Wifi Settings - force close
Hi all,
Just got a new Nexus S - all was well at home. Took it to work today and noticed something very odd. It was fine until entering the wifi settings menu - at which point it dramatically slowed down. I got two 'not responding,close or wait' messages before being able to join the network.... all other settings are fine - just the wifi area.
Weird - wondering what could cause this... too many wifi networks broadcasting (am in middle of London)...?
Anyone seen anything similar?

Too many WiFi around you shouldn't cause that.
Try rebooting and setting again if you haven't already.
Hmmm - rebooted and still have the same issue. At home, or even a block away from the office it all works fine. But in the office itself, although it connects and uses the wifi fine, the settings page is VERY slow to load and gives me the wait/force close message.
Out of interest - I also have 'wifi analyser' from the marketplace. This too is very slow and unresponsive when in the office.
So - it is definately something to do with the wifi here.... but have not got a clue what. Before I join the wifi, or when I am physically somewhere else it all works fine.
Wifi is WPA-TKIP, the key is a very long jumble of letters but surely that is not an issue.
Strange eh!!!

[Q] Possible WiFi problem?
Hi there, just bought a Nexus S, also used to have Nexus One.
The thing is for some wireless networks even though I enter the password correctly, it says connected and still there is no connection at all. (I mean browser tries to connect but at the end it says page could not be found) I even tried with an ad-hoc network that I created with my laptop but still the problem exists.
At home I'm able to my network without a problem. The type of network I'm trying to connect is: WPA2 Personal with AES. Is there any known issue about AES at Android system? Afaik there is no way to change the encryption used right?
this might actually not be a nexus S issue.
some modems/switches/routers are configured to block certain devices/applications/package's
we have a modem and router with both wifi.
but my psp/nDS cant connect to the modem,but can connect with the router

i have a similar problem. My Nexus S connects to my router only within a few hours after a router reset. Then it stucks at "obtaining ip" and never connected before I do another router reset.
My home wifi is WPA2 type, and for WEP type wifi my NS never got connected.
This is a warning for Samsung devices! If you continue to get this error while trying to connect to your Wifi router, and it appears to not even attempt to actually connect to the router each time there is a simple solution. The error that will show is "Authentication Error Occurred" You can get closer to your router but it will not fix the problem, unless you actually have a different problem. This week I have had this occur on my Galaxy S Vibrant (Rooted with SlimBean ROM) and my Galaxy Note 10.1 (Stock latest version).
Solution to the problem (problem may be with installation of non-default launchers(For me it was Kid Mode a game for my kid))
Step 1 -- Intentionally put in the wrong password to access the router..
..it will of course fail...
Step 2 -- Put in the correct password. :fingers-crossed:
It will reconnect like new.:highfive:
This is what worked for me, and if you have the same problem (really no matter the Samsung device) it should work for you.
For whatever reason putting in the wrong password makes the device actually attempt to connect again. I had tried everything from placing the device on the router, resetting the router, restarting the devices, removing apps, factory resetting one device( which worked after two resets on the non-stock Vibrant), forgetting the network, turning off sleep mode in advanced wifi settings, adjusting all sorts of other settings.
Thought I would share my solution and I hope it helps more than just the Note 10.1 community if this occurs to others, which my google search results showed me it does and on many Samsung devices...which makes me sad, because I love my Samsungs.
Funny you should mention this.
I had the exact same error this morning on my 8020! I just reset the router and all good.

That is what my sister does on her S3 (resets router), but for some reason this works if you cannot reset the router... (its in use by others). Next time you have this problem (if you do again), let me know if this works for you?
Also I was thinking an app that I installed caused this problem, do you think you have anything on your 8020 that would cause this? (such as a childs game that blocks certain actions from occuring, or a firewall app)
You could also "Forget" the network then rescan... I've done this before too...

No idea. I havent installed anything different or done anything out of the ordinary. It hasnt happened since but it happened first thing when woke up.

are these the best solutions found? because i am having this problem, and none of these solutions have helped. and i know it isn't some program causing it, because I have wiped my i900 clean four or five times, and get it upon setup, before anything is even loaded on it yet, except the rom. so if anyone has anything else, please chime in.
I have this problem too and it's the craziest solution, but all I have to do is open up my laptop and open up a Web browser then magically my note 10.1 or my gs3 connects right back up.. So I don't know if it's some kind of interference or what? Rebooting my router also works. I haven't tried entering wrong password though but I will for sure try it next time since it means I won't have to pull out another device.

This issue is driving me insane! It did happen before and I've tried the password solution...it didn't work.
This happens every so often and it is quite annoying.
Has anyone found any fixes for this yet aside from the reset router or password solution?
was having same issue on my note2, both stock and roms, here is what I did and finally fixed it. Had to adjust the wireless settings on my router (dlink 645):
802.11 set mixed 802.11n and 802.11g
do not check "enable auto channel scan"
wireless channel: I set to 2.462 ch11
channel width: 20/40Mhz auto
security: wpa-personal
wpa mode: wpa2 only
cipher: tkip
hopefully this helps.

Here's my problem: (I get authentication error when trying to connect to wifi)
My Nexus 7 tablet and my friends laptop connect just fine but my Samsung Galaxy S3 won't connect
The SSID comes up and it says excellent or very good signal strength (in same room as router)
Previously, I had an S2 and it connected with no problem
Tried changing frequency band: 2.4 only, 5 only and auto (none work)
I can't play around with the router - it isn't mine and works fine for other devices.
My S3 works fine on my home wifi and several other places I have gone
Any ideas? Thanks
Assigning a static reserved IP for the device might help

First thing I always try is pulling the power cord for at least 30 seconds, reboot the router, and it usually works.

Thanks for suggestions. I'll try rebooting first, of course but I am not at my friend's house at the moment.
I don't know anything about assigning an IP address. If that has to be done to the router, I can't touch it.

[Solved] Router Reset Signal
My Samsung Galaxy 4 and my husbands Samsung Reverb were both throwing Authentication Errors every time we tried to connect using the wps pin, the wps button or the passcode. Nothing was working, to include trying incorrect password followed by correct password.
Hubby called Comcast and had a reset signal sent to the box. After the reset code was sent and the box cycled off and then on, Comcast verified the ip address once again and we pushed the WPS button for a fresh try.
WPS claimed to have failed on both phones but promptly connected. Problem appears to be solved for now so I don't care if the phones tell me that they're sucking toes! As long as they connect
I'll update if any further issues arise but for now I suggest calling your wifi provider and requesting that they flash the box (send a reset signal).
Good Luck!

access control list

Had a harrrowing experience solving this.
Was trying to connect wifi to note3 but it was seemingly stubborn in giving authentication error.
Had tried resetting the device, even changed router settings and yet it does not budge.
At last it dawned on me to stumble on access control list. In router settings there is option for setting access control for the devices used. Once the devices are added and the access control is turned on, it does not allow any other device to connect even if the credentials are correct.
So, once I have unchecked the access control list in router settings, it connected instantly.
I must have realized the same. Being oblivious of this fact costed a day.
Hope this helps.
Thanks,
connecting to wi fi with tablet
We had a tablet that previously logged onto our Wifi but after taking it to school and returning home it wouldn't reconnect at home and asked for the password. I think we may have put the wrong password in too many times then even when we use the correct one it wouldn't connect.On the advice of our data provider we changed the name of our Wi Fi router in its set up and suddenly we could connect again when entering the password correctly. Worth a go if you have put the wrong password in too many times or your tablet just won't reconnect or even forget the connection.
I got this prob with Note 10.1 today and then after connection, dropping wifi and reconnect every 10 mins or so.

Hi there
P6200 WiFi+3G
So I installed the new official release for Open Austria JB 4.1.2 but I am having a BIG annoying problem with WiFi :/
I tried to connect to my router which is WPA2/PSK secured but it just doesn't wanna connect! stuck on connecting then "saved" and nothing happens!
I've tried everything and every method:
wipe data/factory reset
re-flash
rebooting both my router and the tablet
changing my router's security to WPA,WEP and OPEN
It used to work just fine with Aorth's port of CyanogenMod 10 but I wanna use the official release!
Any help appreciated, thank you
P.S: I solved the issue by ignoring the feature and using this workaround found HERE
my wifi is working fine
maybe at one time i also had the same problem. i restarted my router and it was solved. now it is working fine.
Maybe country code is not set correctly , was a problem with me before, malaysian tab in US, search WiFix manager in PlayStore. Also wifi Connection Manager free by roamingsoft is a good app to get you connected and stay connected.
Also check your router to make sure you are on a channel that not many other people are, for less interference. Good luck. Wifi has been working without issues for me on JB.

I tried both apps but unfortunately it still doesn't wanna connect :/
I think that the only possible solution to get the wifi drivers from HC 3.2 stock rom or from any other p6200 working rom.
If someone could help me with that, I would really appreciate it
if wifispot is not visible then try to change chanel on router i had similar problem on stock ics only chanels 1-6 was visible idk
I have tried to change the channel to 11 and also changed SSID to a short one but still same results.
I have got this message too: "authentication error occurred"
The weird thing that when I made my network set to OPEN, I got this message!

The European version is JB is the XXMC3, .... but I'm in Italy! and the wifi does not work, and it worked perfectly with ICS.
I think the problem is similar to that of the Galaxy Note 2, but I do not know comne solve it.
I tried to do all the wipe, but nothing to do. Can anyone help me?
same problem here works with SOME routers but mostly it just says "saved, secured" or just authentication problem on open wifi
tried format / factory setting, reflash nothing works
had the same problem with 4.0.4 but it went away for some reason after a while

I have same problem with My Galaxy Tab P6200.
When I connect to a fine wifi : "type password -> authentication -> obtaining ip address -> Connected"
With my wifi when I typed password it's say: "saved, secured" and no wifi icon.
I have an ADSL router and connect to wifi router, wifi router like a bridge network, so DHCP in wifi router is disabled.

sounds like a UK vs US problem in the setup on your device. Try changing the wireless AP channel to channel 1 or 2 and see if that fixes it. If so, that is the problem. In UK mode, it won;t see wireless channels above 6

have experienced the same problem before, problem not with your tab but your router (something to do with router not able to automatically adjust or identify your tab after the upgrade and detecting a conflict), try going to your tab advanced wifi settings, select static i.p. address and input manually your tab i.p. hope this solves your problem
Im having the exact same problem that the OP had. Was a solution ever found, other than flashing another ROM? Id like to keep the factory JB but no wifi is a big problem. Any help would be greatly appreciated.
How do I change the channel on my router to 2? I havent tried that yet.

Hey,
I have a problem after updating my (tab 2 Wifi-3G 10.1) to Android 4.2.1. the tablet was working so well while and after updating, but after that I wake up and I had anoyning problem. the problem is when I click on the setting and try to turn on the wifi it shows only (turning wifi on...) and nothing happening. it feels like the wifi cannot start or establish the connenction, therefore no available wifi routers or Hotspots can be listed.
What happened the last two days, I tried to check if the tablet will work again after 2 weeks no charge and drain all the battery, SO IT REALLY WORKED BUT ONLY FOR 5 MIN and the problem came back again.
I downgrade to Android 4.0.4, tried fix apps like "FIX MY WIFI" it says (cannot enable the Wifi -unknown issue), also download the patch file " wpa_supplicant" and changed the wifi setting for standby policy to (allways on), all these steps did not really helped or fixed this problem.
XDA and google didnt really gave me the good answer and there are many android tablets with similer problem.
I hope someone knows about this problem and could share the solution
I just received two Galaxy Tab 2 (P3113) tablets and I am experiencing a similar sounding issue as you. I personally own one already so I am able to check on certain parameters to see where exactly it is failing. What I have found is this:
On my good working GTab I can see my WiFi mac address even when it's turned off (the WiFi mac address is 1 digit higher than BT). On the two I recently received both display the mac address as "Unavailable". Can you check yours to see if you even have a mac address? Goto settings, about tablet, status or under WiFi goto advanced and see if it is displayed.
Once upon a time I had a Sprint Galaxy Nexus and I had an issue with randomizing mac address on reboot. I was able to pull a partition called param, Hex edit it so it could retain the real mac address and then flashed it back. This hardware is slightly different and I am not expert on how to do this but maybe someone on here will have an idea on how to do this.
There's always the possibility that the WiFi chip is just dead. I'm gonna keep looking for a solution and if I find one I'll pass it on to you.

Did you manage to resolve your wifi problem?
I bought the Moto G (2015) 2GB RAM / 16GB ROM for my wife and she's having problems with the home wifi. It often says there is a "connection error" and loops to try to connect again and then fails. Her work wifi seems to function ok.
Having read about similar problems with older moto gs, people recommended (1) turning on and off airplane mode. (2) changing channel number of router.
Both sometimes work and sometimes don't. But it's not really a permanent solution. I'm a bit reluctant to do a factory reset and reinstall everything if it won't resolve the problem. The device came with the latest firmware already installed (5.1.1) and I haven't rooted or unlocked bootloader so should be a pretty clean install.
Anyway, would like to hear that factory reseting could resolve this issue or not before trying.
Thanks for any advice!
Mine does it every now and then. I just unplug my router, wait a minute, plug it back in, and then it connects.

Yes. It works for me too. But what happens if you're on a public or work wifi where you can't reset the router? It doesn't really seem like a long term solution.
Is this a standard problem with this phone? Anyone else have a similar problem or preferably a solution?
Cheers

Yeah resetting other than home router is not the answer. It's an Android issue as all my phones do it from time to time. I haven't been able to figure it out. The other "fix" if you can't reset the router is try going into the Wi-Fi settings, and forget the network/name, and then add it back as new. It takes longer, but it could work for you. That's how I get around it when connecting to work when it won't auto connect.
Hi, I had also faced the same problem with a open wifi network which is free for 15 mins ..
Other than that one ..i had every router connected to my phone..
I was thinking the problem is not in your phone.. It's in router which might be old ��
Because old routers will have 802 a or something which are in compatible to some phones..
Or the router is not allowing your phone to get connected.. As your phone is latest and it has advanced protocols inscribed in it..
Do one thing.. Shed some light on this now :
1) router model (if known to you)
2) phone models which got connected to that router and it's operating system version (like 5.1.1)
And there is also one more point.. I found our phone might find problems connecting to 5ghz band router ..while it works fine for smaller routers like 2.4ghz
We can decide when you dig some info about the questions I mentioned...
We will get answers
Just turn off wifi and then turn it on it will fix the problem

You would think it would be that simple, but it's not. It just sits there "Connecting", then nothing, then "Connecting". Keeps cycling like that.

My router is a netgear CG3100Dv3 (using WPA2-PSK [AES] encryption) and uses 2.4 GHz. I don't think it's the router's fault though because I've had many friends connect with a variety of phones and none of them have had the problem before. I currently have a Oneplus One (android 5.0.2) and have used a Nexus 4 and Samsung Galaxy S (1) on this router without problems. Maybe it's a problem with android 5.1.1 as I guess not many of my friends have it yet. I've written to motorola support but they still havent got back to me.

Strange. I've never had a problem before with wifi. Maybe I've been lucky until now. Yep - have tried forgetting and reconnecting to wifi signal. Again, a temporary solution that will quickly become irritating when there shouldn't really be a problem for such a simple operation.

It's a temporary solution but a pain in the arse if you have to reset the router every few hours. And as I said before, what happens when you can't connect to a router which you can't reset? (i.e. public, work)
Change the router's channel, then refresh the wifi in the phone.

Firstly i agree that our Moto G has some kind of issue with some routers.. but there will be solutions for them from the ROUTERS POINT OF SIDE to make it work
i have read about your router .. Things i suggest (if you have already done them then let me know )
1) your router has option to change MODE to get speeds more than 150mbps.. try changing that 802.11 MODE , restart your Phone and Router and also keep CHANNEL to AUTO , try changing the security WPA to others also..
2) your Wifi of your phone will have a MAC address , copy that and paste in your Router to allow this device..
i am still finding info on your problem..
the reason why i think your Router can solve the problem is : i had once read about 802.11 b/g/n/ac types.. i am getting a doubt that they are the ones causing the problem.. if you are aware of it
have a look at this bro once : http://www.smartmobilephonesolutions.com/content/cant-connect-to-wifi-on-android-smartphone
in this he said that Wifi fix apps can solve the easy problems..:highfive: , hope you find solution

Hmm. That doesn't sound promising. Will they sort it out with the next firmware update? Are motorola even aware there is this problem?

Ok. Will change channel to auto mode. It was already on "up to 300 Mbps". Will also put MAC addresss in the router.
However this still relies on having access to the router. What happens when you don't have access. If this is going to happen on many routers then I prefer to return the phone and buy one which never has this problem.

I'll give a wifi fix app a go to. But they just seem to automatically delete known wifi SSIDs and passwords.
Another option would be to root and install new ROM and radio, but would prefer not to.
It seems like a lot of Nexus 5 users on 5.1.1 are having wifi problems too:

Anyway, thanks for you advice!
Just a quick update if there is anyone else reading this thread with a similar problem.
I changed the channel mode to auto and that has seemed to fix the problem. The moto g seems to connect without problems now. I didn't enter the MAC address nor used a "wifi fix" app so far.
Fingers crossed...
I have the same problem. Wifi just stops working and had a ! Symbol beside the wifi icon. I have probably had a 100 phones and devices connected to this router without a problem. I have changed a bunch of settings the router and it didn't help.
Disabling wifi off then on works, but that is no solution. I will try anther Rom or kernel. I am on resurrection 5.1.1

My problem was slightly different in that the phone wouldn't even connect to the wifi signal. It would cycle continuously between "connecting" and "authentication error".
Does it work with other routers?

Thanks for your help! I'm still a little wary that the phone will have problems in the future on other routers, but it's a good enough fix for now. Hopefully a later firmware update will sort it out.
Unfortunately, my wife took the moto g on a business trip last week and could not connect to any wifi signals (her colleagues did not have a problem).
Not sure what to do now. I'm in contact with motorola support but they don't have any suggestions yet (apart from blaming the router - which has never had a problem with any other devices!)

Well I just emailed Amazon and they're sending a replacement. Hopefully this will solve the problem
