Att Fuse Problem

Hello Everyone,
I just received a ATT fuse and for the life of me I cannot seem to get the WIFI to work. I've had the tilt and the 8125 previously and I tried duplicating settings to no avail.
Are there known issues with the WIFI on this phone?
I can connect to my WEP enabled wireless router, but opera and IE fails to connect and just keeps giving me errors. This is what I have read and what I have tried:
Setting to "work" instead of "Internet"
I've tried the cab files posted in another thread to disable ATT proxy
I'm a little lost in what to check. I did follow everything I've read here that came up in "WIFI" search. I have not unlocked the phone nor flash a rom.
Could someone lend a hand?

Sign up for the att media program...its on the attwireless site

This is a bit drastic, but an easy potential fix is to flash another ROM (after flashing Hard-SPL of course). AT&T often adds a bunch of unnecessary crap to their ROMs, which may interfere with normal functions. You could always flash the AT&T ROM back if you'd like.

Hi Animexi80,
I already have a data plan. The problem isn't with Media net, it is with the phone's built in WIFI.
Trancecoder,
Really, that drastic of a step.. Do you know of a rom that fixed a WIFI problem?
Thanks

Honestly, I never even gave the AT&T ROM a chance, so I was unaware of Wi-Fi issues. Pretty much any ROM should work. If you flash a Fuze-specific ROM, you may want to run the CAB that disables the hidden AT&T proxy. If you flash a generic Touch Pro ROM, you'll likely need to run a CAB that fixes the keyboard layout.

Ok, I suppose I will give it a go.
If I may ask, would you tell me which rom and radio you're running. It would help rule things out it it doesn't correct the problem.
thanks

you may want to run the CAB that disables the hidden AT&T proxy.

What is the "hidden AT&T proxy?"
I just got an AT&T Fuze and after enableing wifi using the wireless manager, had no trouble connecting to home wireless networks with various security configurations (WEP, WPA, hidden SSID, etc.). Of course if the access point has the MAC filter enabled, the Fuze MAC address must be added to the allowed list.

I'm running an older PROven ROM, version 1.03. I'll be upgrading soon, probably to NATF's ROM. My radio ROM is 1.08.25.20, but (1) the radio ROM doesn't control Wi-Fi, so it's moot, and (2) it has not had very good battery life, so I'll downgrade back to 1.02.25.28 tonight.

It's a proxy setting, separate from the normal one under Connections, that is hidden. It's used to make things such as Cingular, er, Cellular Video work.

This is a bit off-topic, but FYI, anything below WPA/WPA2 cannot be considered secure. WEP can be cracked in minutes, hidden SSIDs don't make APs invisible, and MAC filtering is useless (except with WPA/WPA2) as anyone sniffing traffic can see client MAC addresses in the clear.

I have found that sometimes when I have both a "data connection" and a "wi-fi" connection that they phone seems to not lock on the wi-fi but tries to use a weak data connection so try turning off the data connection and see if that fixes the problem. Also give a soft reset a try as well.

Surprised by how few ppl are having wi-fi issues. I've tried about 6 ROMs now and have the same problem with everyone (guessing this proves its more of a hardware vs software issue)
I can locate and connect to a wi-fi network but no data transfers. I have to continually disconnect/turn off/reconnect over and over and finally I will get a connection..but if unit goes into sleep for a few minutes...I have to repeat.
Very annoying...no one else is having wi-fi issues?

Hi Everyone,
Sorry I haven't reported back sooner. I wound up loading a different rom on the phone and away went the problem.
jank0023, I have no idea. I would flash the phone back to stock and return it for another if all else fails. In all my searching, here and elsewhere, there ahve been a handful of wifi problems I came across. It doesn't seem like that common of a problem afaik.

If its your router try another channel make sure its on a supported signal (a,b, g)... lastly ensure your router is excepting all devices. I know these are basic checklist items but sometimes these can get us. I had a laptop that would only work on channel 6 ;-).

Thanks guys for the suggestions...I don't think its related to my network setup as I have about 4 other devices able to obtain signals with no problems using DHCP.
Issues don't seem to be as severe on some of the most recent ROMs I've used but still not perfect.

Got my GT7+ yesterday and have a couple questions. Brightness? WiFi?

Edit: This is the Galaxy Tab 7 Plus 4G w/ TMobile...
So far I am loving it. I have had a plethora of Android tablets, including the Galaxy Tab 10.1 (until yesterday), and the original 7" Tab. Here is an issue I have not run into thus far...
Issue 1: I like my brightness settings to be %100 all the time. I always (almost) have a power cable with me, so I'm not worried about the drain. I have the auto setting turned off as to keep it from adjusting on it's own. However, everytime I open the status menu with the brightness slider, it is down to about %90-%95. I can't get it to stay on full. Also, and even more annoying, every time I open the browser, the brightness drops to like %30'ish and I have to open the status menu and slide it back up. The browser is where I REALLY need the full brightness the most, and it's the biggest issue.
I noticed this out of the box, adjusted settings, nogo, so I factory reset, and same issue. This is leading me to believe this is just a setting or something I am missing. Any ideas?
Issue 2 (THE BIG ONE): This Tab 7+ can't see my work wifi. It connects to my wifi at home just fine (did last night at least), which is also WPA, but it doesn't even see the one at work. It acts like it isn't there. In fact, and this is probably important, it is not seeing any networks up here, and there are at least 10-15 that should be visible from my location in the building (all but a couple from other companies). My G2x (Android 2.3) is connected to my work wifi just fine, and it sees all the others around us, the the Tab 7+ right next to it sees none. I also turned on the wifi router on my phone, it will not see that one either. I've verified the wireless is enabled, as well as turning it off and on multiple times and many reboots, nogo... I need it to hit the wifi at work and home so it isn't sucking my 4G data, so this is a big issue for me.Any ideas? I'm at a loss...
Also, to answer before it's asked: Nope, it's not rooted. I may do this at some point (as I do most of my devices), but for the moment I want to leave it stock and not mess with it. These issues seem like they should be resolved/nonexistant in the stock ROM, so I shouldn't have to root to fix them. Please tell me if this is incorrect...
Thanks for any help, sorry for the long post...
(pardon typos, I'm at work and multitasking, no time to proofread)

on the brightness broweer tip. use a different browser. its a known issue that the stock browser automaticaly dims the screen.

Thank you... You're right, it doesn't happen in Dolphin, however I am one of those weird people the really prefers the stock browser...
The biggest issue is the wifi not showing up. I am updating that issue with more info now...

what channel is the wireless network on? i had a similar problem on my windows laptop, it cannot see the wifi.. turned out that my wireless card(the driver actually) cannot see any wireless network beyond channel 12.. who knows you're having the same problem, might worth checking.

Ours is on 6... Thanks though

for me it was the opposite, it could see my home wifi, but not my work.
only was to solve it was to setup a static ip at work for the GT7...
I called samsung, they said its a problem with some routers. No eta on fix other than static IP.

Just to chime in - I also have the same problem connecting to my work wireless network but I think because it uses a SEPARATE authentication scheme.
The way my office WLAN work is like this:
1). Connect to the WLAN with SSID "Office", no encryption password required
2). Once the Tab is connected, it WILL receive an IP address
3). Open up a browser (Dolphin, etc.) and try to go to any website (Google, etc.)
4). Instead of going to the website I typed in in no. 3, an authentication page will show up
5). I need to enter my Windows AD account and password
6). If its successful, then I can start browsing the Internet (but not going to the Internal network, that requires VPN access).
Step 3 is where the Tab FAILED to do so. It just doesn't want to get redirected to the authentication page.

Yep, same way for me at work. OP did you try to manually add the wireless info vs letting the tab "find" the access point?

Also, here is a strange thing. About 2 hours ago it notified me there were wireless networks in range, and then showed me 2 random networks from another office. Suddenly, it saw nothing again. Then about 5 minutes ago, while I was in the bathroom ( ), it suddenly showed me ALL of the surrounding networks. Yay! I tried to connect to the one I use, it took my password, but never even attempted to connect. Then, they are gone. Now it doesn't see them.
What. The. Fuuuudge.

What happened to WPS?

It seems to have vanished in ICS. How do you connect to a you password protected home router? With gingerbread, I would use the wps button connection to connect automatically but I see no such configuration in wifi settings in ics.

Usually when I connect to a password protected router, I enter the password.......,

You have never used wps or other easy wireless configuration? I had it on my phone with gingerbread but lost it with ics.

Most people prefer a more secure wifi access method.

It seems most people here have difficulty identifying the question asked by the OP.

The OP is referring to Wifi Protected Setup. Yes i think it was removed.
While it certainly made wifi security easy, it is my suggestion not to use WPS as out was cracked back around December.

No it was answered in the first reply. At least the way he worded his question.
My reply was pointing out the same fact as the other poster. The fact that WPS is completely unsecured since Dec. So most people don't even try to use it hence why its not talked/cared about much.

You should setup your wireless networking gear (home router and all wifi devices) to use WPA2-PSK and a strong passphrase. When everything else is in place, you can input the same passphrase on the wifi setup dialog that shows up when you select your home network in the TF101 WiFi preferences screen.

As stated by other posters, WPS is utterly insecure and it should never ever be relied upon for proper WiFi security.
That said, I don't recall WPS ever being supported on the TF101 even under Honeycomb (I could be mistaken, though, since my WiFi network equipment doesn't support it).

I happened to be goofing off with my WiFi the other day and I saw that when you go to Settings -> WiFi -> Advanced (in the top right corner) there is in fact an option to use WPS on the tablet with ICS. Find your router name, tap on it, then a little check box with show advanced options. Select WPS and choose button. Then hit the button on the router. Worked for me just fine.
Here's a screenshot: (For whatever reason, I can't upload an image...)

Grow a sense of humor guys, I was making a funny.
On a more serious note, I don't use wps. I use wpa2 and mac filtering.

May I ask why WPS is so insecure? My router has a WPA2 protected SSID, but I used wps to setup my wireless printer. It seems to only be" insecure" when it's enabled and looking for a device, which is timed to be on for no more than 2 minutes. I don't think vultures are waiting for those two minutes to connect to your router. Or is there another danger?
Sent from my HP Touchpad running ICS

this is like kindergarten chit-chat. totaly lame thread.
WPS is NOT a replacement of WPA it's not a security feature at all!
if you have WPS on ON ROUTER you still need to choose open/wep/wpa/wpa2
as the name could suggest, S stands for Setup and that's what it is. WPS will connect you without need to search for the network in the list of available networks, or even knowing the network name and if there is password, it will fill it in for you. it's an easy setup where you don't need to know password or the name of the wifi network you are connecting to.
another thing. you can't talk about vulnerability in reference to the wifi client - phone. it's the router which is vulnerable. If your car has weak remote central locking, throwing away your remote key transmitter will not make it much safer.
saying ICS doesn't have WPS because it's hackable is wrong. if a coffee place desides to use WPS their net is hackable, it's their concern. I still want to be able to use it as this safety issue doesn't affect me as a wifi client.
and thought ICS has this complicated way to get to the WPS, it's missing the point of WPS as you need to know which wifi you are connecting to, and click many times to get to the option. not easy setup at all. and the indicator of WPS availability is missing too. If I came to a coffee place and saw the icon I told them to keep their password and push the button instead. now I don't know if they have WPS.
So there is still an issue.
But maybe the ICS phone is listening for WPS all the time I didn't test this.
EP: your question is in place.
if it's your network, make sure you update router to latest firmware, as this vulnerability has been already addressed in most of the routers. Or keep it OFF until they'll make update to it.
it is NOT only those two minutes after you push the WPS button, but it's hackable all the time.
WPS can be used different ways, you can enter pin of client to be allowed in into router, or pin of router into client, or just push the button and no pin at all.
so the pin works all the time, that would still be fine, but a certain template was found in those pins, which brought the possible number of choices low enough to use brutal force attack to get the correct pin. that's the safety issue. nothing to do with the phone.

WIFI problem after ICS upgrade

HI. Today I updated my non-rooted HTC Desire S to ICS 4.0.4 (3.0.16-gce03037 Kernel) from official site... Everything is working fine, but I have problem using the WIFI connection.
I can enable/disable WiFi, I have no problems with OS freezing when I switch on or off wireless, etc. I configured it properly (I did not restore any settings from my backup software) and manually, and in status bar I can see that network is connected. It seems that everything is working fine but:
1. I cannot access the Internet from the phone
2. My access point does not list my HTC as connected device at all
I am desperate because this is the only thing that is not working after upgrade, and I use WiFi a lot
Thank you all for helping regarding this.

No, I don't think so, but maybe the AES encryption could be the problem. Try swiching to WPA or WPA2 and see if it works.

Well, no. You could still try to root your phone, install a Jelly Bean based Rom and specify a static IP. JB is slightly better with WiFi than ICS so I think this is your last call.
Otherwise you can still use the pass-through internet option is "Stock option" of the Rom settings, but this means that the phone must be plugged in the PC.

OK, now things are getting very weird!
First of all, I tried with "wifix" and bunch of other market "wifi fix apps", but with no success. After that I connected to my WiFi and try to ping my laptop which resides on the same AP and.... with SUCCESS! I looked at my AP statistics and I cannot still observe that my HTC is connected to the AP, but I could ping the laptop and default gateway (which is AP of course). I tried to do SSH to the HTC and that was successful too. It seems that my WIFI is working only locally, because when I try to ping public IP I get the destination unreachable error message. On the ifconfig's interface statistics I can see Rx and Tx counters increases on the wlan0 interface, but on the AP I still cannot see that my HTC is connected.
I looked up in to the routing table, and there was everything as should be. I am sure that there is no IP address conflict inside my network, I am sure that my HTC is authenticated and connected on the right wireless channel.
Guys, this issue is very weird, can somebody give some hint about it?
Please, see attachments there is much more info regarding this.

equally eelsec
Ok, here is the update in attachment, it seems that I have problem on the layer 3 of the OSI model. I think that I can summarize the following:
1. Radio is working
2. All MAC layer things are also fine
3. Encryption is ok
4. IP packets transportation between the HTC and router is not working.
I am not good with linux, and my phone is not rooted.What can I do to troubleshoot this part of the networking now?

Hello to all again.
Believe or not I still have the same problem. HTC support is USELESS... I tried with factory reset, and I still got a problem. I am loosing patience now... Can somebody tell me how to revert back to previous OS, please? Where to download, and how to install it?

WiFi?

Hi,
Why am I getting this notification for the 1st time in approx 2 months that have got a OPO, despite that am connected to WiFi?
Hoping to hear from you experts.
Thanks.

This sort of thing normally pops up when the WiFi network wants you to go to some sort of page, this is usually for a login to free WiFi hotspots, I assume this Dlink is your WiFi? Perhaps it wants you to open this page to change a configuration or login. This doesn't seem to be Android related at all but more to do with your router, could you try tapping on the notification and screenshot the page it opens, if any.

He's right. This looks like a router setting that you might have turned on like guest mode.

This is a router setting then, that page is some sort of login. Perhaps guest mode has been enabled on your router? Try this:
Settings>Wi-Fi>Modify Network>Show advanced options> Change DHCP to Static. Here, find the box that says Gateway and note the IP here. Now change Static back to DHCP and close this menu.
Go into the browser on your OPO and put in this Gateway IP, this will take you to the router config. The login for this is usually on the bottom of the router, otherwise the default can be found by searching the router model number, try finding a guest mode setting and turning it off - I really don't know... You can also change your WiFi name and password here if you like
I can't really help you any more than that.

Glad to hear, I am strongly advising against the factory restore. This is a feature of Android, although it is strange for it to be happening in this circumstance there is nothing it will achieve.

1. Changed router's password.
2. Guests mode is Off.
3. All apps working with WiFi except GMail and GPS.
4. Still see the notification.
5. Should WPS be Enabled, it is disabled at the moment?
6. You don't recommend a factory reset what about a re flash of 30 OR?
Thanks.

Your phone is working fine, it seems you have triggered some sort of bug in Android's WIFI login detection.
The system works by accessing DNS and check if the resulting IP is owned by google.com or some network-internal redirection/replacement by a login page.
Now, the IP 173.194.35.96 is owned by Google, so the DNS lookup obviously worked perfectly but for some reason the phone gets an unexpected answer from that server. Which makes me guess to one of the 2 following options:
a) one of the computers in your network is infected and Google keeps showing the "Prove you're human" captcha window on requests.
b) your provider is replacing failed DNS lookups with it's own "helper" page which for some reason is making Android trip. If possible, change the DNS servers in your router to either OpenDNS or Google DNS.

5. Should WPS be Enabled, it is disabled at the moment?

That's entirely your choice. However I would only recommend enabling it if it's the "Push to WPS" method and not constantly on - WPS is broken and depending on your router it takes between 1 to 10'000 attempts (1 second to ~ 2 hours) to break into your WIFI. Not good!

Go into the browser on your OPO and put in this Gateway IP, this will take you to the router config.
