WiFi issue (on any ROM!)

Hello, I kept on making a post for it until Iread everything that Icould but I can t solve this.
I have a Continental European G1, radio 1.3xxxx.2005, and the UK version.
My problem is that WiFi isn't working on any ROM, cyan (3-4 versions of it, the last months of ROM's made by him), SenseHero, KingxROM, Dwang, and mannnnnyy other ROM, I think I tested like 40-60 ROM releases in the last two months and Wifi hangs on all of them. There are times when market is loading after 1-2 minutes, but that's it, no app works over WiFi, Google Sync after a new install of a ROM worked, but that was it again.
I have e DLink DI-524 Wireless G router, standard Settings(tryed with upnp enabled/disabled), w/o and with secured Wireless, it always detects the network, connects on it but it isn't working.
Another strange thing that happens:
Let's say that I have WAP2(PSK) protection on my router, I disconnect my G1 from it, remove the security, so now I have an open network, until restart my G1 detects my network in it's last state, protected. This is really pissing me off, I have 100mb free and 0.4Eur/10mb in my contract with Orange, but at home I would really like to use my wireless, e.g. to use Gmote and so on.
Does anyone has any idea?
THANKS A LOT!!

Is this a problem with your network or all wifi connections?

I had the same problem
After flashing more roms than I can count to try and see if I could get wifi to work. Even unrooted and went back to stock then back to rooted and still had no luck. I finally called my carrier and talked to there tech department and they said it was probably a hardware issue. I have since had it replaced under warranty. Sorry but I'm pretty sure its the hardware so no matter what rom you flash it won't work

This can't be real, hardware problem? I bought the phone from a friend from France, because here in Romania I would have to pay double for it at my carrier, so no warranty for me...
Does anyone else has the same problem??
Yesterday I tested SenseHero 's latest ROM, I act. WiFi and Google sync'ed but twitter won't.... I hope it's solvable, I started collecting logs, I see in my router that the phone connects through very weird ports to different sites on internet, have to look into that, sorry for grammar mistakes, not native english and writing from my g1. Bye

Twitter sync have always been an issue. It should work after a few tries. I have wifi hangs a lot too, and I dont have a data plan either.
if you can post a logcat, it would help us pin down the issue

I was in the process of creating my first theme(YIPPIII), but I will test it right now. IT's coming.
EDIT: Here is the log, so, during a 5 minutes time, I started wifi, and tryed to search xda on google, anyhow, that can be seen in the log and then tried to download a app from the market.
Hope it helps, I'm really stuck.
THANKS!!!

Does nobody knows smt? this thread is sitting here a while now, should I try reflashing everything? maybe the problem is in the "lower layers of hardware" , radio, spl???

Sorry i couldnt find too much in that log (its a little long and im usually sleepy)
but it seems as though its not routing properly
it seems to be connecting to the internet, but not routing. Do you have DNS settings on your router?

My router connects through PPPoE and the WAN connection has some DNS's but that shouldn't count, those DNS's are the routers problems, the internet 'thrown' in LAN and WiFi should be and it is without any dns's and such.extremely weird...

Froyo + WiFi = disabled connections

So ever since I've gotten my Nexus One I've been noticing it drops out of a WiFi way too often. It does it both at home and at work on Wireless routers using the latest firmware. I've set the sleep policy to never go to sleep but most of the times I wake my phone up, I'll find it on 3G instead of the full strength WiFi it should be on. On 2.1 when I'd go into WiFi settings it would show the connection and say something along the lines of "Connection unsuccessful, tap to try again" and on 2.2 it just says "Disabled, Secured by blah blah blah". If I retry, it ALWAYS connects and WiFi will stay active for a short period of time before falling back to 3G.
Is there some way I can tell Android to retry the WiFi connection if it fails instead of just giving up? I've been looking through the WiFi API's on the Android Developer site and I'm this close to writing an application that will attempt to mitigate this issue for me.
If I'm within range of one of my pre configured networks, I want the phone to try it's hardest to stay on WiFi. If it loses connection, retry. It it can't get it after 5 retries, wait five minutes and try it again, don't just give up and mark the connection as disabled.
I've read tons of threads about people with WiFi issues and people always say "it's the router, it's the channel, etc, etc" but my WiFi works perfectly fine as long as there is a human to reconnect it if it drops.
Anyone else in the same boat as me?

ok so apparently I'm the only one with an N1 and a WiFi issue.......

I have the same exact issues.

I have the same issue as well and if it stays on I have to turn wifi off and back on so it will connect properly

same issue here. i had been looking for an app that would force the connectivity, but the market doesn't seem to have it. just a bunch of crappy wifi on/off switcher management apps. i'm surprised that no one has hacked this function or built an app for it.

It's certainly a very annoying problem. Mine will go to known good wifi networks, at work, at home and at other locations where my other devices work flawlessly. I have a coworker with the exact same firmware (we updated using the same file) on a nexus one that has never seen this problem, which I find odd, but I'm fairly new to Android. It looks like a software or driver issue to me, but as I said, I'm new to Android.
My device shows the known networks as "Disabled", but I can connect manually.

Looks like it's worth me coding up an App to fix this then.

what kernel are you using? i used to have that problem but that has gone away with newer kernels. unfortunately a new problem has arisen where after being in standby for a while, wifi shows as connected but doesn't have an outside ip. wondering if its my rogers modem or not.

I've never tried a new kernel.. Is this something I should look into?

I'm running the same kernel.

Personally I wouldn't do any work towards writing an app to fix this since it looks to me to be an OS or driver issue that should be resolved in a future release (hopefully in very short order).
An app would really just be a band-aid, but I'm the lazy type and I can deal with using my cell ular data when I don't feel like reconnecting my wifi.
Full disclosure: I'm a crummy programmer and it takes me forever to write stuff so I'm usually less inclined to do it.

I'd rather take the time to fix it then wait for an update that may never arrive. Always fun digging into the API anyways

That's cool. I still find it a bit troubling, though, that some devices see it and some don't, using the same firmware, on the same wireless networks.
I guess it could be a board rev. difference or an app conflict or something. ::shrugs::

I have a similar problem. I use APNdroid to keep cellular data off and use wifi, but I continually have to reconnect wifi no matter what if I am not actively using it. Defeats the purpose of push email.
I downloaded APNdroid after checking data usage and finding that with wifi on there was still significant 3G leakage. Especially confusing with wifi set to never sleep and plugged in overnight.
On the plus side, APNdroid has netted me a lot more battery life, I can almost get two days and one night. I almost never use my spare battery anymore.

Just as an additional data point, I am having the exact same issue with 2.2 FRF83 (I had been on FRF50).
It looks to me like it is simply scanning all of the time and never associating with a known network. I'm not sure why it flags them as "Disabled", however.

Have you guys tried to set the "wi-fi sleep policy" to "never"
if not, try this:
Wifi settings->menu->advanced->wifi sleep policy->Never

Yeah, it doesn't help, that was one of the first things I tried. Any time I leave and come back, the networks show as "Disabled". It's a frustrating issue in that it isn't consistant. It's 80% fail, 20% work.

I had my g1 for a year now and just now got my n1. I havent rooted it b/c of this bug. At first i couldnt listen online radio b/c as soon the display went out it would buffer the whole time. I played with the wifi router and the n1 wifi settings an managed to fix it somehow, BUT when i wake up in the morning for some od reason it lost connection and never reconnected again. So i can hear online radio with the display out but after some hours w/o online radio and just in standby it loses wifi connection and never connects again
This issue is not new. There is a thread on the google forum many pages long. Nobody hase even a clue where it could come from. Some1 on the forum said if u call support they will tell its ur routers fault.
The n1 completly ignores the sleep policy settings.
I have rooted two g1s with goldcard and still using one w/o a problem.

Well, I know fore a fact it's not my access point. I am a network engineer and worked on wireless systems for years and debugging these types of problems is something I'm a bit obsessive about. This stinks of a software or driver problem to me. It could potentially be a hardware revision issue since we have a N1 that works perfectly in all scanerios.
I've tested this with the following access points:
Apple Airport Extreme
Apple Airport Express
Meru
Cisco 1231
Cisco 350
Belkin pre-n
Linksys WRT54G stock
Linksys WRT54G dd-wrt (I forget the build number)
Soekris Engineering running pfSense
All exhibit the same behavior, while my control devices (Apple iPhone 3g, Apple Macbook Pro and a MyTouch 3g running Cyanogen 2.1).
I wasn't aware that this was related to rooting, I'd be more than happy to move back to a stock ROM if that solved my problem. Maybe I'll try that today if I get some time.
Could you possibly post a link to the google forum you're referencing?
I'm currently digging through the alogcat output to see if there is anything interesting in there.

This issue is worse since I upgraded to 83. I'm actually holding off to try CM6 when it comes out to see if there is any better performance there. I'm not sure if he uses updated drivers or kernel that may give better wifi performance.

Captivate wifi fix?

Ok guys. I am not sure what is going on here.
I can't connect to my schools wifi and it is becoming a royal PITA.
I can connect to wifi perfectly fine at home.
At school, they don't require any sort of "password" to access the network. (no wep or anything I mean) They do have one of those annoying/retarded portal login systems which seems to be coded to only care for laptops.... Actually I should say coded for a hand full of browsers ON the laptop.
I once or twice a week or so ago was able to actually access the login page either by entering it manually and being able to actually use wifi for a few minutes.. or by getting redirected.
I took the problem up with the help desk, they said we now have alimit of 4 wireless devices and my allowance was maxed.
Unlikely but, whatever..
So now over the last few days won't redirect me, it won't let me even enter the login address manually.. (before it wasn't a sure thing but, I could at least do it.)
I am rooted running cog 3.03. (Which does have the 2.2 update) Had the same problem on stock 2.1.
Goes without saying I'm rooted and willing to do what it takes to get wifi working here.. Even if I did happen to have unlimited data.. my school is pretty Iphone heavy... especially at lunch, And some days I am just happy to receive the occassional text I can get from my girlfriend.
But, fact is I don't have unlimited data.. I have extremely limited data.
If anyone has a solution, I would appreciate it.
Tried:
Wifi fixer in market.
Rebooting.
"forgetting" then reconnecting. (a million times).
Manually assigning an IP address.
Praying to Cthulhu
Using multiple browsers to see if one works with portal better.
and I am out of idea's..

Any chance you need to enter a proxy server?

I have never needed to enter a proxy server before with any other device.
And I have never found anything suggesting I would anywhere on the school website.

You might ask around about it. The browser is probably set to auto detect a proxy. You don't have that on the phone.
Although, you do indicate you actually did connect for a bit a while back, so it likely isn't the proxy.
Sorry. Don't know what else to offer.

I appreciate the effort, unfortunately my school didn't resolve the issue either so I am unsure what to do..
You might be on to something with the proxy...
No telling how the looney's set this stuff up...

Do you have the login page in your favorites? And does the device connect to the wireless "hotspot"?
I'd test it at a starbucks (or mcdonalds of all places have them too) and see if the issue repeats itself. The ATT hotspot requires you accept the agreement before it allows you to browse.
If it doesn't work.. I'd go back to stock and see if you continue having the same issues. If the issues are resolved when going back to stock - then you'd need to bug DG for a possible fix with his ROM as that is possibly where the problem lies.

Yes it does happen to connect at other places.
I can get it working at home no problem.
I have the url memorized at this point to log in..
Part of the reason i rooted was one or two people said it cleared whatever wifi problems they wre having up..
Infact I would agree with that more than anything..
Although it didn't fix my problems, I have been able to do a bit more..

I hate with a passion bumping my own thread.. but, if anyone can help.. I would appreciate it.

i think your issue might not be your phone but your school unfortunately... when you are there to connect, are there a lot of others there as well?? for example, where i am at, they have their access points set up and i can select it with my phone, but sometimes i get on and sometimes i dont.. the issue is that they limit the amount of connected users and it might show that you are connected, but you don't in fact have access.. does this sound about like what you are having??
a test (and this will suck) is to let it connect and if it isnt connected, sit there for a while and watch as people leave and see if you connect.. usually they slot peeps in order as they log in via their IP.. so depending on how many users are not able to connect, you might not be the first to get on.. this sux and i know.. it happens here all the time and some times i have drained my laptop battery sitting there trying to connect.. now that i have my phone, 1 or the other will connect first
hope it helps a little.. but like said.. good chance its not your phone .. if it is your phone.. i am not really sure what else to think of at the moment..

WiFi Calling and Network Issues after Lollipop Update

Got a strange WiFi problem after upgrading to Lollipop.
After upgrading to Lollipop I noticed that my WiFi calling said that the service wasn’t available on this network (I’m on Time Warner). Hmmm. Everything worked fine on KitKat. Upon further investigation, I noticed that I couldn’t go to certain websites, others worked fine. Using the stock explorer favorites for example, I could go to CNN, facebook, etc, but not Sprints own Vision site. I have some security cameras and could not go to D-Links website either. Speedtest.net did not work, said network communication problems. Turning off Wifi allowed me to go to any of these sites without issue. Play Store and email work fine.
RUU’d Lollipop just to make sure something funny didn’t happen on the first install. Same results totally stock, not rooted or anything.
RUU’d KitKat. Everything works as it should.
Went through my router’s settings looking for anything funny, all looks good (I’m not a novice at networking). Didn’t expect to find anything though, since it all works fine on KitKat.
From the currently install KitKat (with working WiFi calling and everything else) I took the OTA for Lollipop. WiFi calling stayed working now, but I still can’t go to some websites. It makes no sense. Doesn’t matter if it’s a secure site or not. Some work, some don’t.
Rooted, went into recovery, wiped everything and installed Bad Boyz rom (my daily driver). Back to no WiFi calling again. Obviously not the ROM though since stock RUU acted the same way.
Wife has non-HK M8 still on KitKat and everything is fine with her phone.
While at my mothers house and my phone on Lollipop, everything worked there (WTF??? She’s on Time Warner too). This points back to my routers/network, but yet why is KitKat working on all devices? Different access point to Time Warner’s network? She has an ancient Netgear router, I have two fairly new ones. I have rebooted, and completely powered down my cable modem and router too, made no difference.
Looked at the host file in /system/etc. Don’t know if it would make any difference or not, but it looks fine. Exactly like the KitKat host file.
I have the HK version of this phone btw.
Anybody have any suggestions? Any pertinent info I left out?

I've tested my wifi calling, all is good...only thing I could suggest is backup your router config & factory reset to test

I thought about this too. I actually have two routers, same SSID, different channels, to give me coverage throughout the whole house/yard/shed/etc (and all my configs for everything, routers, cameras, printers, etc are always backed up. I tend to experiment a lot. Comes in handy... lol).
I have a spare router also router. I was going to try it on different SSID and channel and see what happens. Just got tired of messing with it yesterday... lol
Thanks for confirming about the only step left.

I have the same setup. Main router w/ another setup as an ap. Same ssid's diff channels. Sounds like a router issue to me. For me, L actually works better in regards to wif/wifi calling handing off between the two routers as I move thru the house.

Lollipop is currently "Optimizing Apps", going to go see what happens when I use my spare router. Going to leave everything at defaults and see what happens.
Just seems so weird that KitKat works flawlessly (on two different M8's) and lollipop acts strange.
Anywho, I'll know more later this afternoon. I'll post up results in case anyone else has similar issues.
What kind of routers do you have? Are you using 2.4 or 5 Ghz?
Also, I'm using static IPs for most everything. Do you use Static or DHCP?

I have the fios supplied actiontec router set to .1.1 and a linksys set to .1.2
I am using 2.4G

Success !!!
Okay, got it working.
Attached spare router to cable modem and connected to it - Everything works
Disconnect spare router and attached old router - factory reset it - Everything works
Restored my backed up settings to old router - Problems, same as before.
Reset again and re-entered all my settings manually exactly as they were before, and now everything works
Hooked my second router back up, everything still ok :good: walk around switching between routers, all is fine.
I guess it was just "one of those things".
Unfortunately, I have a fairly large network for a home, a 2nd router, 6 desktops, 2 tablets, 5 phones, a TV, 5 IP cameras, 2 printers and 2 network drives. I am picky about things and assign static IP's to them. Entering all that back in took a minute or two.

Hey, I got the same issue... HTC One M8, now on Lollipop and not working properly on my Netgear WiFi anymore. Some apps can't connect to Internet it seems. I think it has to do with OAuth protocol. It works perfectly on other WiFi routers. And also my Google Nexus on Lollipop works fine on my Netgear WiFi. Its just the combination HTC One M8 on Lollipop and my Netgear Router and only for some apps (I suspect those that use OAuth) ... Very weird.
You say you fixed it by resetting your router and manually re-configuring it. Will definitely try that!
I was only hoping for a fix from HTC as I though they messed up the Lollipop build...
Will let you know and if it works, I'll send this post to both Netgear and HTC as a fix procedure...
Thanks!

And indeed... Wow. One of those things huh. Netgear said it was an issue caused by HTC. HTC just said the issue was known and the next patch would fix it... Have patience...
I simply reset my Netgear router to factory settings and manually configured it again.
Wow. Thanks all!
I'll see if I can vent this to Netgear and HTC (although I doubt if I can get past first line of support filters... Oh well. Trying is the least I can do)

[Q] Wifi is very fast, but everything loads slow

I've seen all the problems about Lollipop and Wifi not connecting. However, my problem is different. I connect just fine AND I'm getting 31 ms ping, 60mbps down and 12mbps up. However, my internet browsing is slow, Facebook is slow, you tube is slow. Pretty much anything I need is slow except that my e-mail comes in, although if I need to synch anything, but my inbox (because that's pushed) it's slow as well. Even the speed test takes a while to load up, but when it does these are the results I get. The only solutions I find are about problems not connecting to the internet. Even that being the case I tried those remedies with no luck. Also my wife who just got a Moto X has the same problems. Hmmm both phones are made by Motorola I'm wondering is this is a coincidence. I should say I wasn't having these problems a few weeks ago they just kind of started and my wife had a Moto G that didn't have these problems. This combined with bluetooth issues is making it very hard for me to keep believing in Android as much as I want to. Any thoughts or help on this is greatly appreciated.

All other devices such as my laptop, roku box and other smartphones don't have these same issues on my wifi. As far as using other wifi' with my smartphone it varies - some are good and some are not. Which makes me think it's having trouble with certain routers or their settings.

I've already tried all the suggestions. However, I can't adjust other routers that I don't have control over. So it's frustrating that it doesn't work better on more routers.

btw, what kind/brand of router are you using? maybe someone is using the same or similar that can give some advice.

I am seeing the exact same thing on a used Nexus 6 that I just picked up. It seems to only happen (so far) on my work's WiFi, although even that just started within the past couple of days. It works fine on the WiFi at home.
Since I purchased the N6 to use with Project Fi which relies heavily on WiFi, this is putting a serious damper on things.
I'm looking for any suggestions or even just confirmation that me and jdekoven aren't the only ones.

I have the same problem with my Nexus 6, Nexus 4 and Nexus 10, all on either 5.1 or 5.1.1. It happens on my home Comcast X1 router/cable modem. It is not a problem with my Chromebook or Windows 7 PC.
It is not a problem at my office which has an Asus router and Cox cable modem.
This problem appeared recently, definately since 5.0, but maybe more recently (especially the Nexus 6, which I have only noticed the problem for a week or 2), and is only a problem for me on my home Comcast network.

I've had this same issue for a few days now. Just plugged my Asus router into the Xfinity box and once setup, WiFi is perfect using the other router. I'm assuming its due to background updates in the Xfinity box not playing nice with the phone. Dunno. But swap routers if you can.
