O2 Xda neo not detecting Wifi networks

Hi,
I couldn't find any other thread about this problem:
My O2 Xda neo has stopped detecting Wifi networks.
I activate Wifi in the comm manager, Wifi appears to work (the antenna icon appears, but not "radiating"), but never searches for wifi networks, only asks me to add a new one, whereas before a few weeks or so, it would display all the Wifi's found in my vicinity.
Anyone have any ideas?
Thanks,
n

i have the same problem...and couldn't find a solution for about 6 months on now....=(

Have you try on setting\connectons\wifi ? it has the list of avaiable wifi access points that were detected when you turn on wifi on comm manager.
(with the wm5 rom on my prophet, it auto connect to wifi access point whenever i turn on wifi on comm manager but when i use wm6 rom, I have to go to setting\connectons\wifi and connect to avaiable access point manually )

well....is good that u can manually connect....my one...i already on my WIFI from the comm manager there....but when i go to setting/connection/WIFI.....
i still cant find any visible connecting point for me....but my house is wifi hot spot....i sit beside the router still cant detect anything....><"
haiz....><"

are u on Active sync or not? I remember that the Active sync on winXP have an option to disable wifi whenever you connect to pc (I use window mobile device center on Vista and don't remember exactly ).
sometime, when i can't connect to wifi, I check on setting connection and I found that the wifi icon with the name "WIFI" is replace with the same icon but with name "network card". I just soft reset and everything was fine then

Try Hard Resetting the Device

I have the same problem here with prophet g4 and wm6.1 konrad (tryed shadow's too).
Autosearch of wifi networks is missing.

maybe this our solution:
but how to proceed??

I wonder if this is hardware rather than software. Try an official WM5 (AKU2.2) ROM from the ftp/wiki and see if you still get this problem.

Can a hardware issue be fixed???
Hey all I am having the same problem on a Wizard wifi LED is blinking antena icon is up but no detection of APs I am ready to throw this thing. Some one hook a soln up please!!!

Two easy questions from a Wizard Noob :)

I was wondering how to turn off the slide control on TouchFlo so that the phone stays "open" after it hibernates.
Also, whenever I want to connect to WiFi at home, it asks for the password... how can I save the encryption key inside the phone?
Thanks!

Ok I figured out the 2 questions and came up with 1 more. I clicked around the phone and clicking on iLock turns off the slider. And the encryption key seems to be saved now.
When I go to IE, however, it will try to connect through GPRS, even though I don't have it. How can I delete GPRS from the phone (will never use it) or disable it and make it use WiFi first?
Thanks!

Do a search, there are threads on disabling GPRS. You need to manually start wifi. IE will then use wifi even if GPRS is configured.

Comm manager shows Wifi on. Settings->WiFi shows connected. The WiFi icon is alive and kicking at the top of the screen. And it still goes only for GPRS

Can you verify that wifi is actually working by getting out vis some other application (like email)? What specific device do you have (8125, Qtek, etc.)?

T-Mobile HD2: Wifi Keeps Turning On Automatically

So I've noticed this over the past few days since I've been flying and in bad service areas. When there is no network access, such as being in Airplane mode, or in a no service area, my Wifi automatically turns on. I have Activesync polling every 15 minutes, so I can only imagine that the phone is trying to access the network, is unable, and starts up Wifi.
Is anyone else having this problem, and does anyone know how to turn it off?
Thanks.

are you using 3rd party software to toggle Wifi? (e.g. Wifitoggle) It seems that only the Comm.Manager can turn on/off Wifi properly.

I've used the HD2 Connectionz shotcuts. Even without using those it was happening, though.

I am having the same issue as well.......anyone fixed this?

me 2.
But I've only noticed this after using a Wifi toggle.
I had it after installing the home tab quicklink toggles, uninstalled it, everything OK again.
Now I've installed the End key with Wifi... and the problem returns...
I'm going to check my dialing rules, maybe that will help.

I have been having this issue too over the last 2 or 3 weeks, i have no wifitoggle or anything like that installed. I turn my GPRS off when i have finished using my phone and if the phone cant get a gprs connection when locked it seems to auto turn the wifi on in the hopes that you are next to one of the few wifi spots you have enabled on the phone!
This needs looking at and fixing cos i find my wifi connection drains the battery big time esp when there is nothing to connect to as i am at work!

guys i m having the same issue ..i think its a bug in hd..2 i just got the phone 2 days..ago any solution

wifi
This issue still hasn't been resolved in the 3.14 rom with 2.14.50.04 radio....
using energy rom september 23/24 21679
I believe it's related to the wi-fi toggle in cht, still testing...
edit: The wifi issue IS solved when using Comm manager to turn wifi off, not using the toggle as stated by ozkaya

have the same problem, did some research on this and for me anyway its is, I have push email set up from google and if i am on a phone call wi-fi turns on to keep the connection alive, also if i have no service then again wi-fi to keep connection active

Anyone found the solution for this issue already? I have got the Raphael, but the issue is the same. Activesync with gmail, it checks for mails every 30 minutes. Whenever there is no network it automatically turns on the WiFi. I replaced Radio on my device and the problems are not too often, but it has only something to do with the strength of signal. For me this happens only when I have ActiveSync synchronization set up. If I use IMAP all is ok.
EDIT: I think the issue is about toggle buttons in CHT. When I got to the connection manager a switch off the WiFi there instead of by the CHT Toggle button, the problem disappeared.

This is definetly the case, the issue only hapoens when switching off wifi using Cht toggle. Use com manager and alk is ok

Phone auto connecting to random Wifi access points

All,
My brother has a T-Mobile stock ROM HD 2 and he has the issue where device would just randomly connect to available access points, including a BT OpenZone and a Netgear home router. The worst thing is that if the device is connected to his home [preferred] router, it would all of a sudden connect to the BTOpenZone one and totally disable all activity and actually bring up their registration page, etc. It connects to this [random] Netgear one when he is at his in-laws place.
Just to say that these access points have never previously been added as a preferred network or otherwise.
I used to have a WM device (on to Android now) but never used the WiFi connection, so perhaps I'm missing something obvious (?!)
Any help would be greatly appreciated.

This is normal behaviour, if you leave your wifi on. It automatically searches for and tries to connect to any nearby wifi sources. All you have to do is turn wifi off. Just turn it on when you want to use it.
There's a toggle app in one of the stickied threads (cabs & tips)

Must go into the WIFI settings and after couple of Nexts, Uncheck the /Automaticaly Find The Key/ or something like that..also you can go into WIFI options and remove a certain routers setting,just play around a bit with the settings and you will find it.

Surely it's not default behaviour? I vaguely remember that it automatically searches for wifi APs (if the WiFi is on) but never knew it automatcally connected without you asking it to do so, especially if you have never connected to that AP before or previously added it as a preferred network.

I shall have to give that a go and look for that setting.

I have the device in front of me now, but fail to find any settings to disable/prevent this behaviour.

Connect to WiFi network timeout?

Hello. I'm sure that this must have been discussed but I cannot find the answer using search. As is surely normal, I use WiFi within the home and GPRS when there is no WiFi available. If WiFi is connected and I go out for a short while, then when I get back in a WiFi area, the WiFi is still connected. However, if I go away for a long time, and GPRS is used for perhaps a regular weather update, then the WiFi disconnects and has to be manually reconnected upon return to home. This leads to GPRS being used in a WiFi area unnecessarily if you forget to re-connect WiFi. Is there a WiFi connection timeout value or any other setting that can be changed? My old TyTN II did not have this problem. Thanks.

Try this CAB
It disable disconnecting WiFi when phone is in sleep mode and with this phone automaticly connects to WiFi when Leo will be in range.

Thanks Franq_23_pl. I think that the CAB just stops WiFi disconnecting when the device is in sleep mode. That will just drain the battery, surely? My old TyTN used to disable WiFi when in sleep mode, but as soon as you switched it on again, WiFi would be enabled and it would connect if in range. The problem with my HD2/Leo is that if I am away from my WiFi for some considerable time (ie, most of the day), then when I get back home and switch the device on, WiFi is disabled, and I have to manually toggle in on. So my question is..... What are the circumstances that cause WiFi to disable itself, and Is there some way of stopping it happening?

OIC now. I think you having some battery saving app and this app turning off WiFi when iz not used. What apps or registry mods you have installed on Leo?
You have the same behavior after hard reset?
My Leo don't disable WiFi. When i go outside (for ex to work) and back after few hours my Leo connecting to my home wireless network automaticly.
I remember, that i had the same problem like you and it was caused by app, which had duty to save battery.
