WiFi issue with 3.4.2 Froyo

Hi
i have the "Higgsy_Modded_3.4.2_GB_Froyo_RC2" rom on my defy, everything works perfect....with one exception.....wifi
------------------------------
***ive copied this text form "reinsen" because he had the some problem***
Got some serious wifi issues...
When i switch on wifi and start something traffic-heavy like dl or youtube vid,i dont lose connection to my router but to the internet.cant open a site via browser or anything else. Switchin wifi off and then on again gets me back online only until i start streamin or dling again...with one exception

Most prolly the wifi drivers aren't included in the rom...although there are loads of other roms, you can try those

I know this is stupid but did you reboot your device?
Because thats what happened to me with another rom a reboot is essential.

Did you full wipe as well?

yes, i wiped all and complet
reboot done, without any effects
hmmm, i think i go to try the S.Froyo...

i´ve found the problem.
the defy CAN´T handle router with WMM + 802.11n standart.
Log in to your router an turn off WMM or switch the wifi from 802.11n to 802.11g

[Q] wifi adhoc "obtaining ip address"

Hi friends
Searched the forum and tried the proposed solutions but nothing helped.
I'm trying connect to addhoc wifi on my desire HD os=2.2
I replaced the wpa_supplicant file with one of those that exists on the forum and
indeed now i see adhoc networks but the connection is not stable - it goes like connecting -> obtaining ip address -> connected -> disconnected
and so on in loop ... i verified that the ip is static and i even put gateway+mask+dns.
when trying to ping the target it even sometimes succeeds!
Tried with several different adhoc targets and tried both wpa_supplicant for ver 0.5 & ver 0.6
Please does someone can help ?
thanks

This question not yet solved

I have the same issue with my sgs2. I get no connection ever, only a constant "Obtaining IP address.."
I'd suggest resetting your router and forgetting the network and trying to reconnect. Also a static IP might work but as for finding any of your provider's info, that's up to you. Unfortunately, XDA doesn't even recognize my network (Sasktel) so I am having a very tough time with this!

most probably firewall problem , i had same problem with hotspot doing exactly as you discribe.
it can also happen by some custom Roms and don't happen with others ( firewall disabled ) .
Also lot of sense Roms have an issue with that exact wifi problem , not like AOSP Roms ,i don't know why

I only had this problem with a network called; 'eduroam', my schools' network. I solved it by recotting & changing the network security TLS/TTLS/EAP or somethinf like that.

[Q] com.android.settings has stopped unexpectedly while connecting to adhoc networks

Hi,
I'm on stock FroYo on defy(India, firmware version : 2.2.2) I get this 'com.android.settings has stopped unexpectedly' whenever i try to connect to any ad-hoc networks. The adhoc network has internet connection shared and is secured using wpa2 key(hosted from my laptop running windows vista which has internet access through LAN). Is there any solution/workaround for this problem? Need help...

I also need help with this,

[PATCH] 100% working ad-hoc wifi for SGS1 & SGS2

All credits go to bruceleedragon1 for this.
He did a patched version of wpa_supplicant (similar to others i tested without success) and it works correctly on my JVR (i'm using SpeedMod kernel T10 but it should work with any gingerbread kernel).
The only problem for me is connecting to a WEP or WPA2 connection. It tryes to connect but gets stuck on "Obtaining IP Address...". But maybe it's a problem with my notebook, i'm on Ubuntu 11.04.
Please test and report on the main thread:

Bye

if you want connect to wpa or wep you must turn on wifi connection , connect to wifi, turn off wifi and turn it on

AdHoc Support & Internet Pass Through

Ok, I know someone will tell me this thread doesn't belong to the dev section, but it does.
THIS IS NOT ABOUT WIFI TETHERING - READ CAREFULLY!!!
There has been adhoc support in CM 7 for the G1 (Htc Dream) I used to own and it worked just fine with my laptop AdHoc connection.
There seems to be a problem with most AOSP and GB STOCK(ish) roms - including Darky and CM 7.1 Stable. They seem to detect the adhoc network when a modded wpa_supplicant is installed (in Darky it's installable by the Darky App and in CM it is included in the stock rom). When trying to connect there are two scenarios :
1. I don't specify IP address and Gateway and rely on the windows DHCP to assign an address.
What happens in most roms is the phone hangs on waiting for IP address and never connects. In MIUI roms the phone connects instantly, so I guess the issue is rom related.
2. I specify IP address (the laptop is 192.168.231.1, so I choose 192.168.231.2 for the phone, and the laptop IP for DNS and Gateway)
What happens in most roms is the phone just disconnects instantly giving no reason and continues scanning. I've actually managed to connect in some roms (CM 7.1 and Darky) but it happens to be very unstable - the wifi keeps on scanning for new networks and even if the phone is connected, there is no actual internet coming through. [EDIT] I flashed the latest CM Nightly and the connection worked flawlessly.
I have ran some logcats but they don't show significant information on what's actually happening.
My idea is to put some of the MIUI binaries into use, but I don't know which ones, except the wpa_supplicant are responsible for WIFI. Can some of you developers help me and possibly make an All-Types-Of-Roms solution.
[EDIT] The Adhoc Connection seems to beworking in latest CM Nightlies. There seems to be something different in AOSP roms like CM, that makes Adhoc connection work flawlessly. Any idea what is it?
