Hey everybody, hope somebody can help me...
On my local train, there's a free wifi service that I used to like to use. Its an open wifi network with no password.
The first time I experienced problems with it, was when I upgraded my old Desire to Gingerbread. Following that upgrade, it would try to connect, but just get stuck on "getting IP address".
I recently upgraded to the Evo3D, and to my disappointment, the Evo can't connect to it either. It just gets stuck at the "connecting" part without ever succeeding in getting a connection.
Is this a problem with Gingerbread as it seems to be, or what's going on here? I'm rooted, so does anybody have any suggestions as to what to do?
Third post this week on this...I got it bookmarked for this reason...
Here you go bud...this should take care of it

Hello,
Using an unlocked T-Mobile Vibrant in Canada.
Everything works OK except a huge issue, many people seem to have the same problem.
Once it lost signal, it will keep searching for the network for up to half an hour, it may see the network but will not register. I tried to play with the settings with no luck. The phone got the latest upgrade but it did not help either.
Hence my question:
Is there anything I can do to fix it ? Do I have to wait for Froyo hoping it will solve the problem ?
Any advice will be appreciated.
Thanks,
Hello,
Its been barely a day that I have purchased X10, came with the stock 2.1 version. I have tried everything I could to try to get the darned WiFi work with my laptop and it just refuses to. I make a WiFi connection, it says "Not in range.." when the laptop which has WiFi is sitting 2 inches away from the phone.
Sometimes, it won't scan. Other times, it will scan and disconnect. And then, I saw it as "connecting.." "disconnected". On the other hand, it has managed to reboot 5 times on its will. I just took the thing out of its box, like seriously?
And I've searched everywhere, no particular help. I have even done a "repair" from PC Companion. No use.

Where are you located? I did have this problem while in Europe a while back. I was not able to connect no matter what i tried. It was something to do with the MAC filtering. So in a nutshell you were not able to connect toy our wireless network? hmm Have you tried the handset in say a coffee shop or at a friends place?
I am in Islamabad, Pakistan. I came over to a friends, and here my laptop picks up the WiFi signal in the house, but the phone fails to do anything. And back at my place, when I make a WiFi connection, other phones do find it, but X10 seems to have lost all self-esteem, and its driving me nuts.:/

seems to me you need return it for another unit. Very odd. being a day or 2 old no problem.
I wish I could have been more help but you have clearly tried all you can!
good luck
Hmm, thank you. I will do that tomorrow.
I figured it just doesn't connect to ad hoc. When I tried connecting at the center on the router, it worked.
I found on these forums a way to edit some file to make it find ad hoc networks, but I can not even find that directory, let alone the file. Can anyone tell me how to do that?
And finally, my phone has restarted 7 times just today. Should I get it changed with another piece?
you need to root the phone to acess the desired directory
Hey, thank you. I did read about rooting in the past days here but it is something that I don't want to do, I hear it voids the warranty?
And yes, I got the phone set changed with another piece. This one has not restarted once, even after the 2.1 update. Thats a relief.
After I upgraded mine to 2.1, I had the exact same issue. I thought I had screwed something up during the upgrade... so I flashed it again and STILL had the problem.
After a couple of hours screwing around with my phone, I rebooted my wireless router and it connected right away and I haven't had any issue with it since.

S voice is crap m8, at least it is for me cos i'm a scouser (liverpool) but it isn't perfect anyway, not something that you should return your phone over, but if it's bothering you then i would clear all defaults and maybe try a different wifi connection, it would be bad if it was down to a router needing rebooting lol.
Mines fine on either and i think a problem like this persisting over two phones means that either its a horrible coincidence or something else is ado.
Check your wifi, or try someone elses.

Hello all, I'm hoping someone can shed a little light on an "interesting" problem I'm having with my new phone. This may be my first post on here, but I have scoured this and other forums trying to come up with an answer but alas have found nothing, so here goes:
I am currently using Simple Mobile which operates on T Mobile's network. I have near-perfect signal at home but can't seem to use the damned thing for Facebook, Tapatalk, Zynga games, internet, etc without my interent connection timing out on me. I recently switched from Comcast to Dish Network and no longer have wifi at home so this is killing me.
This phone screams on wifi, and it seemingly works fine everywhere else via my data connection except at home. I normally show an H or an E at home. From what I understand T Mobile is replacing all of its edge circuits with HSPA+, so I'm thinking they just haven't got around to upgrading the tower closest to my house as of yet. I decided to get my girlfriend prepaid service on T Mobile with that $30 per month 5GB plan through Walmart and slapped the sim in my old Motorola Defy and it works great. However, if I put that same sim in my phone I'm back to square one with the same data connection problems, so I know this is not a problem with Simple Mobile (plus like I said as long as I am not at home my phone works well, too.).
So here's the real kicker -- if I use the PDANet+ app on my phone and turn on the wifi hotspot, it works just fine when I connect using my home desktop computer! This is so aggravating, why would I time out with my data connection for my own phone but as a hotspot it work flawlessly??? I'm pretty close to giving up on T Mobile because what good are they if I can't get a data connection on the phone itself at home?
Also I should mention that all of the APN settings are definitely correct. Perhaps there is a baseband selection that I can't find somewhere in the Blu Studio 5.0 d530 that may help (I know there's one in the Motorola Defy). Maybe it's because T Mobile recognizes that my phone is not a T Mobile branded phone (but the Defy IS), and if so, how can they push the whole "bring your own phone" thing so hard?
In any event, I may try just switching to Straight Talk but I really don't want to go through the hassle of porting my number and all that -- plus I'm not sure how good their signal is in my area. A search online for closest cell towers to my address results in T Mobile by a longshot.
Any help is appreciated, guys -- I'm frustrated to no end here.

Use Google Translate, if needed. Basically it just says that is the stock 4.1.2 rom with no carrier bloat.
I recently bought a new HTC One M8 (AT&T) off of eBay. When it came i set it up and it was still on KitKat 4.4.2. The WiFi had some weird problems on that, but i just chalked it up to it being an old OS. I manually updated to 6.0 using the AT&T RUU tool from HTCs website, and everything looked to be fine, until i got to the setup. When it asked me to select a WiFi network, i selected the one that is the router in my room. Come to find out that unless the phone is pointed directly at the router and less then a foot away from it, i get 1-2 bars, or nothing at all. It barely connects (or even shows) any of the access points in my house either, and when it does they all say 1-2 bars. I still have my old HTC One M8 (T-Mobile) and the wifi works perfect on there, full/strong connection anywhere in the house, and it shows all the access points in my house. I have no idea whats going on, i already tried wiping the cache partition, and factory resetting.
P.S. I don't have a plan for mobile, so mobile data is turned off already (on both phones). Help?
I don't think there is much else you can do. If you did RUU, and still having WiFi problems, the device may have a hardware issue.
