[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.

Hmmmmm thats strange...
Your phone should have an error with the wifi drivers so try to flash the stock firmware of your phone.
Here is a guide by me
I had also faced this problem when i was using gingerbread. So, i made a backup of my phone and factory reseted it/wiped data using cwm and after reboot my problem was solved:good:
YOU can also try flashing stock rom using odin as stated by danyznd123
BUT FIRST MAKE A BACKUP
Hi!
First, sorry if this is a known bug/issue and It has an easy solution, but I can't find it.
I have a moto g xt1032 RetailEU. I recently installed LiquidSmooth, which I really like. But I have this issue:
When I try to connect through data plan, aside the signal icon I just get an R, not the usual H/H+ I used to get on stock, or other custom ROMs. I have internet connection, but I don't know if is through roaming, or what kind of connection speed I have.
I'm not saying this is a bug of the ROM, but it only happens on thar ROM.
If anyone could help me, I will be very grateful
Guys, i am facing a strange problem for few days.. When i am on cellular data fb messenger & few games (e.g. coc) never connects to internet.. (no problem with Wi-fi) It shows connecting but never connects.. First, i thought it's a rom problem so i changed rom but it remains .. But when i go back to stock, the problem does not occur.. I am sure that it's not due to my connection problem because everything else works fine..
What is the problem ? Please help.. This problem just recently started..
Have you tried changing the apn settings? Usually there's a guide provided by your mobile carrier.
hello everyone,i have a chinese phone called onyx 1 from eurostar brand.the problem is it connects perfectly to any wifi and the wifi icon shows up in the status bar but there is totally no internet.i have tried almost everything to solve this issue but with no luck.i was thinking whether is it a hardware problem? and it has the option to uninstall system apps in settings so is there a chance that a system app might have got uninstalled and thats the reason there are internet problems? need help....without internet the phone is really unusable...
Hi !
I don`t think you have removed any related apps not be able to connect to internet
Maybe the phone can`t read your router`s frequency bands , switch between 2.4 and 5ghz or even reset your router
Alternatively you can try other hotspot
Good luck !
