DCD 3.0.1 WiFi Issue

[bombzhome]

Hey guys..

WiFi was working for me at first, but now my phone pretends like it doesn't even have WiFi. Any way to fix this without reflashing/hard resetting my phone? I tried the uninstallation of WMWiFiRouter, and it still didn't help. Can I somehow revert back to a different driver without having to start over again? Thanks!

can you elaborate on teh issue a little bit? im also having a wifi problem, but havent found many others with the same issue. i want to know if yours is the same.

[lafester]

sounds like a wmwifirouter issue to me.

[gbenj]

i dont think so. i have removed wmwifirouter from mine and still have the problem. it works once in a while, specifically after a soft reset.

I don't know what else to say. Turning on the WiFi switch does nothing, pressing the WiFi in Comm Manager does nothing, and I no longer have WiFi under Connections. I see Wireless LAN, but not WiFi. My Wireless Today Plug-In only shows Bluetooth and not WiFi anymore.

All in all, I guess it seems like my phone doesn't realize that I have WiFi.

I just upgraded to DCD 3.0.1 yesterday.

WiFi is still working for me (WPA-PSK, AES encryption). I'll test at work tomorrow.

I've never used WiFi Router and I get the issue on soft resets and usually when I someplace where coverage is spotty.

I seem to be having an opposite problem. My WiFi randomly activates while I am in a call.

ive seen that thread, and that problem, but mine at least, is different. ive done extensive testing and my problem doesnt ahve anything to do with wmwifirouter. the problem started before i ever installed it. and its not that it doesnt work, it just works sporatically. usually after a soft reset, its ok. until i turn off the wifi switch, or push the power button. then its like theres no networks...but there definitely are. i thought the problem was specific to me, but now that im seeing other people with the problem im starting to neglect my previous theories that only pertained to my situation, in favor of no explanation.

just wondering. the other people with wifi problems. what carriers are you guys?

im on vzw

thanks

Happens on my Sprint Mogul, and I have tried that fix in the thread.

Im on Sprint and I keep having the same problem with my wifi.... this all began when i upgraded to the 2.2.6 rom i believe. I used to not be able to get wifi, then after a few days it would suddenly read my network but it wouldnt connect. now after upgrading to 3.0.1 it reads the network fine but it and tries to connect but either it disconnects instantly after it connects or it never connects.

Ive never had wmwrouter installed and my network connection security is WEP 128.

Any ideas?

[scott500]

I have the exact same problem with my phone...started about a month ago. Upgrade to new rom (from 2.17) didn't fix it....

[gbenj]

sorry you guys are having problems, but i am a little relieved to see that other people are having the same problem as i am.

my one question, is are you guys sporadically seeing the wifi work fine. mine does, usually after a soft reset for a little while sometimes, but once it "clicks off" it is gone until after a soft reset.

thanks

I have the wifi issue as well. I am running DCD's 3.0.1 ROM. I also have the WMWifiRouter program installed. In my case, the WMWifirouter program would run and my laptop will pick it up but then I can't connect to it. It also seems sporadic. My laptop will show full signal of the program then when I hit refresh the signal will disappear. With the wifi switch, when I turn it on the wifi icon at the top comes on and act as if it is searching for wifi signal but it would never connect to anything. Even when I am in a wifi hotspot my phone would not pick anything up at all. *NOTE: Even before I upgraded my ROM, I started to have wifi problems on my stock 2.08 sprint ROM.

[etienne97]

yea it sporadically works for a short period of time but once it disconnects it won't work again.

Sometimes it finds the wireless network and sometimes it wont find anything. Its kinda random.

Since I was having an issue for GPS to take a while to lock on on top of this WiFi issue, I just decided to flash the stock Sprint ROM 3.35 and then reflash DCD 3.0.1. Everything is working beautifully now.

[llmo128]

ok then test it on a phone that has had it an another one that has not! remember that once its on there you will find that it may never go away even if you flash, i been ther buddy

dont for get to change the routers name so you don't be dumb about it mmmkkaaayy.

Are you connected to your PC while trying the WI-FI?

[gbenj]

Are you connected to your PC while trying the WI-FI?

no, i am not connected to the pc

[supatoox]

no, i am not connected to the pc

I was having the same problem but when I disconnected my USB from the PC it connected and stayed connected.

Gonna try surfing and see how it goes.

[supatoox]

Everything is now working fine?? I even continued surfing while connecting thru ActiveSync but noticed the PPC6800 was using the NET connection thru ActiveSync NOT WiFi.

Next is to get Garmin XT Mobile on my PPC6800.

Anybody have some spare maps so I can test this out?

WiFi has now dissappeared from my Mogul as well.. there's no icon for it anywhere, but if I turn the Mogul off, then turn it back on my WiFi re-appears..

Any ideas on how to permanently fix it?

So in Setting->Connections-> NO Wifi?? What about Wireless LAN?

Wireless LAN is still there when the issue occurs, but not 'WiFi'.
