A couple days ago I had used my rooted inspire with rcremix Rom to setup my old netgear wgt64v4 router to my cable modem and as believe this was last time the WiFi functioned normally. It tells me no networks in range and scans for a second or two then stops with no networks in range. I'm not sure what to check other than being enabled and trying to scan. I'm now running trick droid Rom. I grateful for any help or suggestions.

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.
Hello,
since the last FOTA update from HTC to 1.45.403 (Android 2.3.4) I can no longer connect WLAN devices to the internet via WiFi-Hotspot on my HTC Sensation!
Before that update it worked.
The devices (tried it out with a Samsung TV and the original WiFi-stick connected and a WD multimedia box, both worked flawlessly before) successfully find the Sensation's AP, successfully connect to it and also the DHCP test succeeds.
However no internet connection then works.
Did anyone of you experience the same?
Could it be that this FOTA update sent by HTC now requires some software token to be sent by your mobile operator enabling WiFi tethering, hence defaulting tethering via firmware to "disable"?
Mobile operators do not like tethering, but they cannot detect (and consequently block) it easily - unless (just my speculation, no idea if this is the reason, why it won't work anymore) HTC would change WiFi tethering and internet sharing via 3G to default off on software level.
I have to mention that I have an unbranded HTC Sensation without any operator-specific software and the update did not come from the operator but from HTC.
(Or at least that's what I saw.)
Any advice ?
Thanks in advance.
Correction:
Software version is: 1.45.401.3
Have you tried using different security settings for the WiFi hotspott? Go to settings\wireless & networks\Portable WiFi hotspot settings. You have three settings WEP 128, WAP (TKIP), and WPA2 (AES). Mine is set to WPA2 (AES).
Problem is that it does not even work with security settings switched off
I really feel lost.
Could it be that other apps interfere?
But I'd rather doubt.
If you are using the WiFi Hotspot app that came preinstalled on the sensation from tmobile and you dont have a "Tethering Data Plan" they will eventually figure you out and block the app from working.... I found this out myself and had to go ask the nice lady at the Tmobile store why it happened... and that's why.
I can verify that at a certain point of data usage tmous will cut off wifi tethering. They can tell the data is being shared n want u to pay monthly for the service. Found out from a Friend who is a tmo employee.
Although I'm still tethering free for the time being..

Mine does that too now, any way around it
I could be off on this, I work at TMO and I know the Amaze and GSII shipped with the ''latest'' SIM cards, which we were told had to be used for WiFi calling to work correctly, but oddly enough thats when I noticed tethering quit working on all out demo's
Works flawlessly with CM7 for me.
Actually today and yesterday works just fine for me.... so i dont know why it did the one day but no problems now..... wierd
my branded sensation stopped wifi tethering 2 days ago and i just tried and its is working now... Kinda weird i gurss . . Maybe it was because i used 5.46gb of data this month....?
Sent from my HTC Sensation 4G using XDA App
others on xda have asked this, but my issue is slightly different
at home i have no wifi problems at all, it connects instantly and has a fast connection
at a friend's house, i can connect to the wifi router but i actually have no throughput...i 'forgot' the network, rescanned and added with no change...i restarted the phone, took the batter out, checked all settings on the router iself, changed channel, no change
2 friends next to me could connect no problem (HTC Desire with GB ARHD, and a HTC Sensation GB stock)....and i'm sitting there with an ICS Sensation and no data throughput
i could connect to the same router on the same phone with a rooted GB ROM last week
any guesses/suggestions??

Are you running Darkforest at the moment?
Are all ICS roms the same?
Have you tried wiping cache & Dalvik?
yes I am running Darkforest...I have wiped cache + dalvik multiple times, but are you suggesting I should do that the next time I have this issue? ill try that, but how would that help?

Hi,
I have a really strange issue that is impacting my mothers A9.
She has had it for almost 6 months. Not that it changes anything but it is a Telstra branded HTC A9 and using a Vodafone sim.
The Wifi has issues connecting to a number (not all) wifi access points
This was first identified when connecting to my brothers home wifi. It could see that AP and the security code is correct (case sensitive etc) but it refused to connect.
There is no issue with wifi connectivity at her home.
I tried connecting to my HTC M8 in hotspot mode to no avail.
We then added a second AP to my brothers place and using a different AP name (same password) it worked! I thought that there may be some chipset compatibility, but that wouldnt explain why she couldnt connect to my HTC M8 in hotspot mode.
I ended up buying the same handset for my dad.
Last night he had no issues connecting to my HTC M8 in hotspot mode, but my mothers was still no connection! It tries but gives up.
Using the same Wifi security WPA-PSK I was able to connect her phone to my Iphone 7+ in hotspot mode.
This truelly has my stumped.
BTW I upgraded them both to the latest approved OS.
What do you think is up with my mothers handset?

Try a network setting reset. Go to backup and reset> reset network reset. Probably just a minor error of some sort
Or try upgrading to CyanogenMod. If you were to use it as a daily driver..use the latest nightly and do bi-weekly updates
