Extreme Wifi Issues

Ok I'm having a very annoying issue on my Inspire 4G. The phone recognizes my home wifi network and goes in a loop trying to connect and then reconnect. I have several other devices connecting to the wifi flawlessly - (iMac, iPad, Xbox, etc). Does the Inspire just get weak wifi signal strength, or is there something wrong with my phone? I'm considering returning it to get the Atrix. I also know other people have commented saying that they have this issue also. Is there a fix? Thanks

Had this problem. Went into wifi settings and clicked on the access point that it was trying to connect to. It asked me for my credential storage password or something (different than access point password) and after typing that in all has been well ever since.

i got the same problem.. connected to network but it wont let me use internet at all

Check your battery cover and sim card cover. Make sure that they are both installed properly with no gaps.

If you downgraded you phone using attn1 guide thats well known problem. I had same problem i flashed rom coredroid 6.8 and all is fine now.

Still having very bad wifi issues.

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.

[Q] Wifi without simcard

I would like to know if there is any way I can have my WiFi internet on my MT4GS,without my Sim card in the phone .Probably just surfing the net or using "whats app". I have tried and my cell doesn't connect to the WiFi router at all.Can someone advise on settling this matter ? My phone is unlocked and rooted.I haven't taken the update,so I'm still on the stock ROM.
I used my old windows touch pro 1 cell and it connects to the WiFi router without Sim card.So what can I do to get the WiFi internet on my MT4GS?

You should just have it.
I have two of these devices - one on T-Mobile, the other bought aftermarket out of plan. No sim card, yet I connect to wifi everywhere, even use it as a wifi bridge to my router for a desktop in my home.
Just go into settings, wireless settings, then turn on wifi and tap 'wifi settings' underneath it. You should see your network in the list, just tap it and enter a password if necessary.
Done.
This doesn't work for you?
Sim card has nothing to do with wifi, only cellular.

Maybe the fact that your phone is rooted. But I don't know my rooted cliq is rooted an connects to WiFi fine...

Could be, my buddy has a stock mytouch and he can't get on wifi without a sim either..

I don't think so - I just got it back from HTC and it's not rooted yet, still stock the same way I shipped it out to them. Gets on wifi fine with no sim card.
It does have an S-OFF bootloader, but I don't see how that would matter.
I do find this curious.
What exactly happens when you try to connect to a wifi network?
Does it even see the wifi networks?
Where does the ability to connect fail?

You should be able to connect. It'll have that option at the HTC setup wizard.

Says scanning ,then tries to acquire ip address then it disconnects and starts all over with the same result.Secondly I remembered the last two programs that were causing me problems in installing and uninstalling were Bloater and Busybox ,before my WiFi went haywire.I gave up trying and hence I was preparing to send my cell back to HTC, since it was still within the warranty period.I unrootted my cell and now my WiFi works again.So i really can't say exactly what caused this malfunction as yet .Thank you guys,for such quick responses.This really makes me feel proud to be part of an outstanding group of people here,and as whole, part of xda-developers.I thank you all for your help an assistance.Hopefully this information might help someone else someday.

Maybe it's your router

No my girlfriend,has the same phone with me and it connected .Had tried another router and it still didn't connect.

I do it all th time with several brands of phones. I have had problems the constanly connecting and reconnecting when there are too many devices around at the same time.
Sometimes it is the router and internet going through "spells".

Yes, "innerwebs" with wifi works without a sim card.
My g2 AND my other 4g slide both connect to my router without a sim in them.
But they are rooted with different roms so......

[Q] Only able to load google pages while tethering.

I wasn't sure where to post this but here goes. This may sound strange, but I have have been using wifi tether router paid version for problably 2 or more years on an s3 with sprint at first and now on a metropcs lg L70 for the last few months, and it has always functioned perfectly. Out of nowhere this morning it started acting really strange and now I can only load Google sites and YouTube. If I try to click on a link leading outside of Google it times out this happens with my laptop, tablet, and tethered to my extra phone, however it hasn't affected browsing on the phone itself, only devices tethered to it. I have no idea how to fix this

Bump

I have this same problem with MetroPCS and the L70 on my Chromebook. I can tell when the problem occurs because the Wifi symbol doesn't show an ! mark saying that I need to login to the tethering portal. Haven't figured out how to fix it, I usually play with settings on Wifi Tether Router and reboot my phone/chromebook until it starts working again. Would love to figure out the root cause as well.

No 3G/4G when Hotspot is on

Hello everyone, with the problem on my previous thread I decided to wipe the phone and restore it to the rooted L29 ROM. Everything seems to work great except for one thing.
When WiFI Hotspot is activated the 3G/4G doesn't work - Chrome would say "you are offline - your device is offline."
Any insight on how to fix this issue is greatly appreciated.
Thank You

Just to clarify, when the hotspot is on. The device connected to the hotspot has internet connectivity. However, the internet ceases to work on my actual phone that is hotspotting

um, aint that supposed to be that way....? since all traffic is router through wifi to the connected devices....just guessing though, ive never tried to use internet connection on my phone while using its wifi hotspot with another device

Nope, before I flashed it I can hotspot my friends while using the internet on the phone. Not anymore

huh, ok.... weird then!
