Hi
I just installed the NexusHD2 ROM today, and I experienced a bug/issue with this ROM.
The problem is that my wireless network is hidden (doesn't broadcast SSID and doesn't show up on list of available networks) and therefore no devices will see that it's there, unless they know it's there. I did have the SENSATION XL v3.0 Android 2.3.5 on the device before and that one did not have the problem. Before that I had some PACman JellyBean ROM, which also didn't have that issue.
My HTC One X with stock HTC 4.1.1 ROM also registreres my hidden network without any problems.
Now in order to get connected to my network, I need to tell the OS (doesn't matter if it's Android, WP, iOS, Windows, OS X, Linux) that it's there, and also tell the type of password-encryption and what the password is. This proces is just the same on every single ROM I used, but only difference is that the NexusHD2 JB ROM doesn't recognize the network when it is hidden. If I then go to the setup of my Wireless router and turn off the hidden network, so that anyone, within range of the wireless router, can see it, then it also is recognized by the HD2 and it automatically connects. When I then hide the network again, it stays connected, until I reboot the phone or until it turns of Wi-Fi to lower power-consumption. When it then tries to reconnect, I have the issue again, where it tells my that the network is out of range/not available.
Does anyone else have this issue, or does anyone know how to fix it, without having to change the configuration of my router.
I have the HTC HD2 EU 512MB Version
Just go to settings and add the network manually. The plus sign at the bottom of screen!

I use the same setup - hidden network - without problems. Not sure what the problem is but I would try a lower channel number and/or set a different encryption method on the router to see if one might make a difference.

Appreciation is a wonderful thing. It makes what is excellent in others belong to us as well.

I contacted a "usergroup" for my internet provider and they told me the symptoms I'm having are due to the router thinking my htc hd2 is attacking it and so it turns off wifi to end the connection between the two , anybody else had this or would know how to fix this -_-? Changing my security to WEP was suggested but this is out of the question due to it being very unsecure.
Edit- Are there any apps which let you specify which security type you'd like to choose e.g. wpa only instead of wpa/wpa2.
Have you rebooted the router, that would be my first step, and the second, Look for a firmware flash and update if available
Also try the phone on a different wifi set up as it may just be the phone itself
If you mean turning the router on and off yes, the router gets turned off at night anyways - firmware is uptodate and I'll check tomorrow if it connects with another wifi.
The phone does connect to other networks so it is just mine that thinks it's being attacked

Turning your router off and back on is a reboot, indeed, but it works only on windows based devices Try to RESET it (just do not forget to note some sensitive/important information first - just in case you'll need to manually restore some settings).

What kind of crap is it and what version of firmware it's running?
HD2 attacking access-point - that's something new, interesting
The router is Thomson TG587N Works fine with 2 iphone 4,itouch 4 gen,2 laptops and a computer connected to it on wireless with another 4 computers connected by ethernet cable at the same time but when the htc hd2 is introduced just turns off wifi -_-. I've now tried turning off the firewall, IDS,changing channels,turning off security/encryption altogether...STILL NOTHING
Simple way to tell if it does think its being attacked ,,,, it will create an entry in the IDS log. If there is no entry then its a different issue.

In the event log there was an entry for the IDS everytime the wifi went down... Disabling IDS through telnet however did not do anything : - Just stopped the IDS log :S.
...nothing?
Sadly I suspect the router is the culprit not the Phone.
See if there is an earlier firmware you can flash as you have the latest.
No other options sadly
Oh apart from replacing one of them - routers are cheaper (over in the UK anyway)
I have an HD2 with CyanogenMod7.1 HTC Leo 080111.
I changed my wifi access point and lost connection to it.
Everything else is connecting: Laptops, Motorola Defys and other.
Even the same HD2 with Windows 6.5 (prior to booting Android) connects fine.
I tried to vi wpa_supplicant.conf several times with different settings but at no avail.
I guess the problem is in the ROM. But where? Any clues?
Thanks

had similar problem on HD2 CM mod (ACA), not sure if it'll work for you but try to disable and enable SSID Broadcast on your router (saving the router settings each time)
Your solution works for me
Thanks a lot. It worked also after disabling/re-enabling the wifi on the android.
Thanks again.
The problem returned
This solution is temporary. After the phone get really out of range and returns, it does not recognize the SSID.
Do you know what is the root cause of the problem?
Thanks

strange, and I'm out of any ideas, apart from the painfully obvious ones:
- is your wifi hidden? allegedly some roms have problems sometimes with reconnecting to hidden networks
- try changing routers channel to 1, 4, 6 or 11
- seems you're using SD build, if so maybe update it to the newest version, with fresh data.img, do not restore wifi access point but set it anew
Once again it worked
Out of your list I tried everything except setting the channel.
My Access Point worked with Auto channel, meaning that it could change it to the least busy one. For some reason, HD2 did not like it.
Now it works (meanwhile) with channel 4.
I hope for some stability.
Thanks again.
It works fine for the last couple of days. So the proble is the dynamic channel allocation. I guess that at least this ROM feels better with static one.
Thanks.
Hi friends,
I am running CyanogenMod-7-10122011-Nightly-Desire {TyphooN_v3.7.1-MAGLDR}
on my HTC HD2 Tmobile and I am really in love with my phone using android.
But my phone has not been connecting to my wifi network lately after I installed CyanogenMod.
In the begining it used to connect and how it just says "Not in range" and never connects but sometimes when i restart the router it used to connect. But the problem still exists and is not connecting anymore
But it always connects to any other unsecured networks interestingly why is this so??
did anyone come across the same problem? appreciate your feedback.
thanks in advance
Regards
vivek4all
looks problem solved
I have just gone through this thread and my wifi connected again hopefull the problem will not exist anymore.

Go to the wifi settings, menu, advanced, regulatory domains and select number of channels to use (14)
thanks guys
If the problem persists you can install the AOSP gingerbread mod 7. 2..... its pretty much a better version of the original CM Mod and has the latest updates

I use CM7.1 and generally my ZTE Blade works really well. But I do have a problem connecting to the WiFi network at my workplace. It uses WPA2 with EAP (every user has a user name and a password), and no matter what I try to set it up, it just does not connect.
There is a tool called XpressConnect, which configures the WiFi for you. And that works.
I think that leaves only two plausible explanations: either the configuration data I am given is wrong (and that is unlikely, because it works on my computer), or the settings menu for WiFi networks is broken when it comes to EAP. Does that make sense? And is there a way to check the configuration files that are written by the settings tool, and compare them to what XpressConnect does?
I am not in a big rush to solve this issue, but given that WiFi problems seem to rank pretty high with CM, it may be worth tracking down.

I'm not sure about cm7 but in cm 9 there is a option for it

Well there is an option to configure it all right, but it does not connect. Instead it sits around "connecting" for ages, and then disconnects.
If I use XpressConnect to configure it instead, it works as it should. I think that should help to narrow down the problem, but I do not have a lot of experience with how WiFi encryption works internally.
Hi you all, I'm new here, so please be patient with me.
I have a weird problem with my (just bought) Landrover Discovery (Spreadtrum SC8810 1.0GHz Cortex A5) phone.
I con't figure out wether its a hardware or software issue, so I'm asking some advice after searching the various posts.
The phone notifies me that there are Wi-Fi networks available, but when I go into the Wi-Fi settings, it doesn't show any SSID's, so its impossible to connect to a network. See attachment.
Can anyone help me out?
Best regards,
Fedor
Hello
It could be normal, if the admin of the wifi network switched off his Wifi network's SSID broadcast. In this case You need to know the correct SSID name to set up the wifi connection. Other case You can't connect to this network.
Of course if Your phone never see any wifi network may be it is a software or hardware bug, but if it happened only one place, where this hidden SSID is reachable, You need to know the name of the SSID correctly.

Push Menu, then scan.
Thanks for the replies. Please only reply after understanding my question and looking at the attachment.
I've never heard of a problem like this before...but do you ever see any SSIDs? Like at home, Starbucks, ect.

This is either a hidden SSID for security purposes then you should ask for the proper SSID name before connecting else you wont be able to see it even if you scan.....
Like I stated earlier, please only offer sugestions AFTER understanding my question and LOOKING at the attachment. As you can see in the attachment, I have 2 phones next to each other. The Samsung shows plenty of SSID's and the Chinese phone shows none. So wether or not there are hidden networks, is not the issue.
The Chinese phone notifies me that there are available networks (which it should, as there are!), but the SSID's don't show up. Very strange. In other words: it detects the available networks, but doesn't show which ones. So I can't select one to connect to.
My guess is that it has to be a software issue and not a problem with the hardware.
Could there be a code that I can type in, so I can deeper into the WIFI settings?
What android version is each phone running assuming its a software issue?
