Wifi Problem

The above link give an explanation of wifi problems that at least some people are having... three have mentioned identical or similar problems in the Google Help forum. The issue is that wifi worked initially, but now it isn't working on my phone. In my case I'm unable to get any results when I do a scan of available networks, and I've tried to manually assign an IP and connect that way without any success either. In other cases listed in the above link, people are able to still see networks after performing a scan but never connect to those networks. All this is after being able to connect at least once before.

Anyone have a similar issue with wifi? Also, does anyone have any idea on what to do about this issue?

i am having the same problem with my wifi. any chance rooting had to do with this problem?

I have a different kind of wifi problem. It seems to work fine everywhere except work, where we use Cisco wifi access points.

It is only is a problem with Android devices, mytouch 3g, g1, and now the nexus one.

My Touch Pro 2 connects fine.

Looks like the android devices get connected, and even get an IP, but can't browse the web or ping any network devices.

Really strange.

This is my suspicion. I think in the rooting (or the custom rom?) thread someone said rooting screwed the wi-fi, and he had to do it again and then it's fixed

I haven't rooted my phone yet, and I still have this problem. I have installed a ton of apps though... although I don't know how that could be the problem. Is there an easy way to wipe the phone and revert back to how it was when I received it? This is the step I'm willing try before rooting or modifying it in some other potentially warranty-voiding way... I may be needing to return this if I can't get wifi working.

There is a 'Factory reset' in the settings

After trying everything I can think of aside from warranty-breaking things, I called the HTC support and we went through very basic things together then he agreed that they will need to take a look at the phone. They will ship me a packing slip and I'll return it in the same box it came in. The repair station is an hour's flight away (in Houston) so I hope to have my phone back very soon, but I wasn't given an estimate so I can't be when that will happen.

The above link is to a thread on the Google Help forums where I've been keeping track of this issue. Basically the wifi issue is a know issue according to an HTC representative I just talked with, and they will be sending a OTA firmware update out to all NexusOne phones within the next several days that should resolve any issues we are having with this functionality. This saves me from needing to send in my phone for repairs, and if it comes to that they said they will just swap the phones without me being out of a phone at all.
