[Sensation] WiFi won't connect

Anyone else having wifi issues on their Sensation? It cycles through scanning, connecting, and disconnected state endlessly.
My home wifi is WPA2-AES, on a router running DD-WRT with dual radios. The Sensation of course only sees the 2.4GHz SSID.
I'm reluctant to re-download all the apps I had on my Inspire over HSPA+ when I only have a 2GB data package :/
edit: in the diagnostic menu, network state is always "disconnected", supplicant state toggles between "associating" and "scanning".
edit2: after a *real* reboot (shut down, then pulled the battery for a bit) WiFi connected straight away and is working quite well. Hope this helps anyone else who encounters this worrying issue on their shiny new superphone.
edit3: and it's back.. I've tried rebooting, pulling the battery, etc and I cannot get it to connect via wifi. I sure hope I don't need to return this thing already.

Wifi wont reconnect
Hi all
I hope someone can help me,
I have the HTC Sensation with almost 2 weeks now and i am having one continuous issue.
I have wifi set up at home the phone connects ok,however i also have a TV/Video sender,when i need to use the TV/Video sender i have to turn off the wifi(not ideal).The problem occurs when i turn off the TV/Video sender and turn the wifi back on,the phone will connect with the modem but not to the internet,Facebook,Twitter,emails will not sync,while testing i have discovered that if i "kill" facebook and Twitter and restart the apps all is ok again i.e facebook,Twitter and emails all sync.
Does anybody have an idea what is causing this ?

Have you tried toggling the wifi settings?
How can I prevent the internet from disconnecting while downloading?
You can prevent internet from disconnecting while downloading if you are connected to Wi-Fi. Please press MENU from the home screen > Settings > Wireless & networks > Wi-Fi settings > MENU > Advanced > Wi-Fi sleep policy > Never.
There's also a toggle for best Wifi performance...not sure what that does but it does state that it may drain the battery more than usual.

[Q] wifi issues?

sometimes it works... sometimes it doesn't... the same router on which other devices work perfectly fine... so its not a router issue...
anyone else had issues with wifi connection on the atrix... a minute ago it was showing as connected but it wasn't working so i had to turn it off on the phone and connect again
help!

Mine did this for a while it would list wifi as connected but the phone did not have a internet connection. Changing the channel on the router to 9 as well as changing the password and resetting the router fixed the problem.

I had similar issues until I changed the WiFi Sleep Policy. Have you tried that?

Weird Probllems with With WiFi and Data
Heres whats going on... I go into the same Starbucks I frequent, the Hotspots login Fails, it state it cant determine my eligibility, call customer service.... Then I get the :No Data Connection:, and then I get the ISP Orange Triangle your password/Authorization failed, the Icons wifi, 4G and Netwoork are Blue, white white.
I switch to email, and all 3 icons are now white, I open Market, it states no connection retry.
I reboot power off/on the phone and voila, The Phone comes up, logs into Hotspots and all 3 icons are blue,
This back and forth game is repeated all the time, at Starbucks, at home, ect.
Can anyone tell me exactly whats going on and how to fix it,

@Clouded - before it took me a while before my phone auto connects but after a power outage the router shutdown and went back up again after the power outage. Guess what - Now my phone connects automatically without problem ^_^ I know my router works well but I guess a quick power cycle of router will help.

thanks folks - i'm going to try both the solutions provided. reboot wlan router & check the wifi sleep setting...
will post how it goes later...

[Q] Unable to turn on wifi - it says turning on and does nothing

Hi,
Since last couple of days i m facing this issue.
When I try to turn on the wifi either from setting or from notification slider, the device does nothing and wifi status shows turning on.... but it never turns on..., tried booting the device several times... activated and deactivated flight mode.... but no luck... The device is just 3 months old and I dont want to root it to preserve warranty..... going to service center is the last optiin for me as they are going to take much time... anyone faced similar issue ? Is there any work around apart from rooting the device ? Seeking some help .... really frustrated...
Model Samsung Galaxy Tab 2 GTP3100 (WIFI +3G)
Thanks in advance,

Thanks for your suggestion... I did that after posting question here ! but it didn't worked as well !

If you're sure that it's not a problem with your network but your tablet and a factory reset didn't fix it, it should go to the service centre.
Can it connect to other wifi networks? What do you mean by never turns on - does it say its on but not do anything?

Hi There,
The device will connect to some network only when it's wifi is turned on ! The WiFi status shows "Turning on the WiFi" but it never turns on and shows me available networks to connect...
Anyways looks like visiting service center is the only option for me ! Thanks for your time mate !

Prashant

Hey,
I have the same problem after updating my (tab 2 Wifi-3G 10.1) to Android 4.2.1. the tablet was working so well after updating, but after that I wake up and I had that 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 cant 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", also download the patch file " wpa_supplicant" and all these steps did not really helped or fixed this issue.
Internet and google didnt really gave me the good answer and also there are many tablets with this problem.
NOW, If anyone KNOW anything about that problem PLEASE TRY TO POST YOUR SOLUTIONS.....
Thanx alot

My WiFi Problem

I tried to resolve this problem for quite a while without success . I connect to a WiFi without problems by pressing radio button or through settings. Also I can disconnect without problems. But there is this thing: I am connected at my home lets say on WiFi and I go without turning off my WIFI to another place lets say work, and my phone won't connect to that WIFI automatically (radio button for WiFi is turned on). So I need to turn the button off and turn it on again and then it will connect, or I just go to settings for WiFi and it will start scanning and connect to WiFi immediately.
More about this behavior: if I am connected to WiFi and go out of range and then in a range of another spot lets say in 10-20 minutes my phone will connect automatically. If its longer period maybe 20 minutes or more it wont connect automatically when I get into range. Also I dont think that has something to do with phone getting to deep sleep, because this morning I was walking to my home and listening music all the time and when I got home my phone didnt connect automatically. Nothing. It just seems it stops scanning, also when this happens I am not notified about open networks when I get in range.
My WiFi setting is always set on always connected and this happens even when I flash new stock ROM. While ago when I flashed version 2.3.4 this wasnt a problem, now even when I flash that one I have this same problem. I also tried few different stock ROMS without success.
I know this is not a big deal but it is irritating and I would like to fix this, so please help

Check your wifi sleep policy.
Press menu in wifi settings and set it to 'never'

Unable to turn on Wifi on YOG4PAS1N0

Hello!
Since I installed YOG4PAS1N0, I have an annoying problem with my wifi:
Whenever I turn wifi off, I'm not able to turn it on again. Tapping on it doesn't do anything. Entering and leaving airplane mode doesn't help either. The only way to turn on wifi is to reboot the phone. Then wifi is turned on when the phone started.
After installing YOG4PAS1N0 I didn't do anything. No app installed or any settings changed. Nothing.
Can anybody help me finding a solution please?

It happened to me just once: i switched my profile with one that turns wifi off, then turning it on again by any means would not start scanning for networks resulting in an empty list. A full reboot solved the problem, but now I can't seem to reproduce this issue. I rembember my headphones were plugged in but I can't see why that would interfere with wifi interface.

I don't use any profiles, though.
When I try to activate wifi and hit the wifi settings, my phone literally freezes for 10 seconds before I can use it again - with disabled wifi.
