TouchPro Wifi loses connection :-(

Hi friends,
I have a terrible problem with my fine TouchPro2.
It constantly loses the wifi-connection. My old TouchPro1 never had these issues.
I have the actual HTC stockROM installed. Tried WiFiMonster - but again. After a few seconds it loses the connection.
Sometimes I'm able to download three, four mails, but then it breaks again :-(
Any idea?

re
To be more specific: WiFi goes off after 30 sec. or so. :-(

does wifi turn off? or simply disconnect? if it's disconnecting, first thing i'd do is reboot my router with wifi enabled on the phone and see if the connection improves. if wifi is physically turning off i'd guess it's an issue in the rom. maybe try another rom? and make sure wifi is set to "best performance" on phone.

Is this everywhere or on a specific router?

Does your connection drop after a certain activity (e.g. screen going into standby, opening a specific program, etc.)? Also, have you tried to backup your device and perform a hard reset?

Similar Problems
I've been having similar problems for about two weeks now.
I have tried several things like hard reset, soft reset, changing the rom, playing with the wireless connection and just about everything in the connection folder but no.
I my case, when I turn the wifi connection on through the comm. manager, it slows down the phone while its trying to connect and then it just goes off, leaving me with t-mo data connection. However, when I turn off data connections in comm. manager, it connects to the router and stays connected but it does nothing with the connection. Meaning, I am connected to the router, but somehow I won't be able to use the connections.
If anyone have any suggestion(s), I would greatly appreciated it.

solved...
Thx guys,
I performed a Hardreset and testet one by one the installed software... and found it: I installed a CommManager and it caused the WiFi-Problem :-(
thx

What do you mean "slows down the phone"?

If your wifi connects but you cant get out, check to make sure you don't have the proxy box checked in connection settings. I have seen this box mysteriously become checked in the past.

Just a little comment
I will be getting TP2 very soon, but speaking of WiFi problems in general..
I had 3 phone: TyTN II, Samsung Omnia & iPhone 3g. only the TyTN could connect to WiFi at home while the other two can connect but will not get any data... however, they worked flawlessly in numerous other locations...
the problem was with my linksys router
apparently some older routers not compatible with the newer devices...
just wanted to share

Ok. As of today, it seems to be working, thanks for the help. However, I think it might have been my router. I think it had something to do with overheating because I put my modem on top of it. But the funny part was, everything, with the exception of my phone, was connecting. However, the connection was never really strong or reliable.
Anywho, thanks for the suggestion, even though it didnt really help me, I appreciate the gesture.

[Q] Help with wireless connection

Yesterday my router lost broadband connection... Yes it's BT, so happens almost weekly.
Right while I was changing from Pinky's 1.8 rom to OD 3.5.0.
After the connection came back, my Mac and xbox are working fine, both on wired/wireless connections. But this is the first time I've been unable to reconnect with my Desire, even when I've wiped/nandroid restored the old rom.
It connects on the desire. But in the router config (bthomehub.home), it says it hasn't connected. I refresh a couple times, and 1 out of 5 refreshes it says I'm connected.
Then drops again.
As no other devices have been affected, is this a problem with my Desire settings? or the router?
Is there a way I can diagnose the issue?

[Q] Several wifi issues with this phone

My phone's wifi capabilities have been working fine until about 2 months ago when it stopped connecting to some of the wifi networks such as my campus wifi.
I have 2 routers at home. One being the Linksys E3000 that's broadcasting two SSID's. The Epic Touch sees them on the list but can't connect to neither of them. It can however connect to my Dlink router and all of the older ones I have at home.
While connected to the Dlink, it can't communicate with other devices on the same network via apps such as remote or Airsync. When tried pinging the phone's ip on a computer, it returned with timeouts. Samsung Kies has stopped working as well.
Does anyone have a solution to my problems? Is there a setting on the phone that I am overlooking?

Bump.

flash EL29 stock, run for a few days, see if its software related? See if theres some router settings that it doesnt like??

Actually I am already on EL29.

Problem solved

what wifi issues are on the epic touch 4g?

[Q] Router Connection Problems (WPS)

Hi,
I have a problem with my one-x and my home router. (I am running LeeDroid and Bricked kernel but I think this problem exists regardless).
My router has a button on the back, that the first time you pair with it you have to click the button for it to be authorised. I think this is called WPS (wifi protected set-up). With my other devices and housemates' phones, this is clicked once on the first connection, and after that it remembers and connection happens automatically. However with my one X, if I go out of range and then try to reconnect, it fails to connect unless I press the button every time.
The phone connects to other wireless networks fine, such as at work. And the router works fine with other devices.
Any ideas?
Thanks

Your router isn't a netgear by any chance ?, i have the same problems however when i go out of range for a while and try to come back and reconnect i have to reboot the modem before i can re-establish a connection and nothing else works.

Do you have a WPS button?
My router is provided by Orange, but I think it is a netgear.

I know this doesn't really help but as you mentioned Netgear my WNDR3700 works fine and only needed WPS the first time. (I'm using WPA2 just in case if might help)

wifi connects but phone won't use the connection

Almost new FL24, rooted. Everything has been fine but during the middle of downloading an app over wifi, I had a battery failure and the phone shut down. Once restarted, the phone will connect to the wifi network but it is not able to download or connect to the internet. It works fine over the mobile network but as soon as it's connected to wifi, all data transmission stops. Any ideas?

This was just happening to me, now in my case is was my wireless router turning on and off by itself, so had to get a new one, so you may want to check that.

The network is fine. Multiple devices both wired and wireless. Everything's working pefectly except the phone.

Try it on someone else's WiFi network. Use a secured network wpa.
I encountered a similar issue with my wifi router, 2 roku's, ps3 , 2 laptops, tv and 1 other epic touch running gb. Everything on my network was aok, my epic on jb was not connecting but was visiting my friend and I logged onto his network, boom instant connection. I was also able to log into local pub using a pw.
Well, I replaced my 4yr old router with a Netgear N600 dual band, no more connection issues.

The phone connects to the network. Connecting to the network is not the problem. I can see the phone on the network when it connects. I can see the ip adress the router hands out to the phone once it's connected. When I turn off wifi on the phone I can watch it drop off the network and then watch it come back on and recieve an ip address when I turn wifi back on. It is not the network or any other network device. Thanks for the suggestions as they are appreciated but the problem is with my phone. Any other ideas?

Gee it sounds like your modem or radio got borked, try a reboot or d/l and reinstall your modem or diff modem.
