there was already a topic about this

however one topic we did not touch base on, on the other topic was about the B+G bands

if you read the documentations you'll noticed that for N to work at full speed, it must only listen to N no B no G

when you use Mix mode, N doesn't work well

to use N, you need 2 bands, B + G only needs 1 band

if you enable all 3 B+G+N you only get 1 band for all, so making the N useless

the trick is to update all your old hardware that still runs G or B to N

then you can use pure N, and gain full speed

the SGS phone can run up to 87 Mbps on N

meanwhile computers can go up to 280+ Mbps

Can't connect to home WPA2 wifi

Hello!

The problem is that I've been trying to connect to my home wifi like 100 times or more:mad:, but I'm still unable to get it working... The wifi it's WPA2 and it has a long sentence password...

Any ideas? Thank you!;)

[Q] manual wifi fix app?

Hey, like many Android users I'm often having problems with Wifi not connecting to APs. While that can be fixed by restarting Android that takes a lot of time and is more than annoying. There are some apps to solve this issue, they "fix" wifi whenever the screen is turned on (e.g. http://www.appbrain.com/app/wifi-fixer/org.wahtod.wififixer http://www.appbrain.com/app/blade-wifi-fix/com.bladewififix).

That however I don't like either as due to the fixing taking place always wifi connection becoming established takes quite a lot of time. So my question: Is there an app that fixes the wifi connection but does so only manually, e.g. by clicking a widget button?

[Q] Can't connect to Wifi?

I select my Wifi network, I enter in the password, it says connecting, authenticating, connected, remembered, then it says disconnecting, searching, authenticating, and it repeats. The H at the top never disappears, no Wifi icon ever appears, what is the issue exactly?

And yes, I am connecting to a Wireless-G signal.
[Galaxy S I9000 General] Emexrulsier:
Don't worry I can't connect to your home network either so it's not a problem with your phone :D
[Galaxy S I9000 General] JJEgan:
I suggest you delete the password from the router and try and connect .

If you connect setup again with the password .

[Galaxy S I9000 General] sdfguerreiro:
I had the same problem and i manage to fixit with "WIFI STATIC". It's free on Market. Access your router config and add your Galaxy Mac adress, then fill the parameters in WiFi Static. It Works! Never had problems again! Oh, i think you have to put your's computer(s) mac adress too in the router.
[Galaxy S I9000 General] XlAfbk:
is there really no such app? :-(
[Galaxy S I9000 General] psycosonic:
Try this:

Disable WIFI, go to the programs menu, open AllShare, when it asks to enable the WIFI, enable it... *MAGIC* wifi is working!

Hello!

Thanks for the answers!

Haha, I don't own a satellite jet, but give me some time! I'll be able to share my wifi with you anytime soon :p

Yeah, that's what I thought, but unfortunately my father/boss wouldn't let me change the wifi password because he doesn't want to change the password at every device at home :mad: Don't worry, he's a good father :rolleyes: :D I think that it would be the best and easiest solution...

Yes, I've tried it, it really connects to the wifi, but I can't access to the Internet... That's weird...

I'm going to try it, I'll tell you if it worked!
[Galaxy S I9000 General] gbohm:

[Galaxy S I9000 General] gbohm:
i don't think it's fixable..... i believe it's a hardware problem

have you tried a n-router they have a higher power output but yes it has a poor range

the galaxy tab isn't great either (regarding wifi range) if you compare it to for example to the ipad
[Galaxy S I9000 General] dhiru1602:
Range of the Wifi Reduces drastically if you hold the phone in your hand. Try placing it on a Table or a Desk and use it without touching the sides of the phone. It works as expected.

WIFI issue with BELL JK4!!!!

Hi everyone,

I upgraded my SGS i9000m from bell through the Reg-Hack to JK4. Everything was working perfectly until the connection to Wi-Fi started to fail. The Wi-Fi did not fail instantly after the upgrade but gradually. Right now I cant connect to Home router. but my other phones and laptops can connect no problem. THIS seems happen to access points that has been used for a period of time.

There is two temporary fix for it. First, use static IP. Some people have tried and said this will work. But this limits you to a single access point. what if it wont connect to things like SChool network ? static wont help.

Second, read a post in Xda (somewhere, sorry for not referencing). If you start your AllShare App first and use that to connect to Wi-fi, it would work. I tried and it did.

However, I m wondering if anyone have the same problem after upgrading to JK4?? Clearly this a software issue. Therefore, if anyone have a permanent fix for it. Please share with rest of us!!!
[Galaxy S I9000 General] got_milk:
I can't reproduce here (been running JK4 for 24 hours straight now).

If you didn't hard reset after the update, I would suggest that.
[Galaxy S I9000 General] utsmaster18:
I just started having the same thing happen to me now. It was completely fine after the upgrade but now after 3 hours, it says that it keeps disconnecting or having a poor connection that was always excellent before.

Did you find any way to fix it yet?

after flashing on I9000BUJP8 (with odin), many apps (like my beloved retrocamera, btunes, winamp, labyrinth, mobile voip etc) crash upon opening and wifi scans alright, but when trying to connect to a network it worked fine with before, it says obtaining IP and then 'connection failed'. any ideas?
[Galaxy S I9000 General] dan@msx:
in regards to wifi - try restarting router?
[Galaxy S I9000 General] AllGamer:
you'll need to rejoin the SSID, forget the old one, and rescan to rejoin

do the same for Bluetooth
[Galaxy S I9000 General] D.C1986:
try to open AllShare App. and let it to lead you to the wifi screen and it will connect for you. Then close AllShare App. Your wifi should be connected and performing.

Dont ask me why this works. I dont know either.

[Q] WIFI behaviour

Hello,

i have a question regarding the behavior of the WIFI on Android.

I am kind of a noob regarding Android and i could`t find an answer on the forums. My question is:

If i connect to a Wifi Network, will the phone automatically use it to connect to the Internet or will it still use the Data 3G /HSDPA connection for some apps like (Google Mail, Maps , Marketplace)?

Example:

I have an Internet Radio streaming app, if i start it at the top of my phone near the Signal strength icon a H symbol appears with 2 arrows, i presume this means the phone uses HSDPA.

When i connect to my WIFI home network the wireless symbol appears near the H symbol and after a few seconds it replaces the H symbol. Does this mean the phone is doing all its data trafic over the Wifi?

I have a limited data contract 700 MB /Month and would like to have them for when i am on the road and have no wifi coverage.

Can anybody recommend me a good data traffic monitoring app. I searched n the marketplace but there are allot of apps :D (gotta love Android).

Thanks allot
[Galaxy S I9000 General] mozzer2k4:
yeah, when the wifi signal shows all data goes through that, as for a data traffic app try trafficstats, never use it myself as i have unlimited web :p but has been recommended
[Galaxy S I9000 General] Link23:
I thought so to, was not sure about it. I will try that traficstats app later.

Thanks for the answer
[Galaxy S I9000 General] tiethilo:
dude!

incredibly it actually worked, wifi connected... if you have any idea how to make all those apps work again, that would be much appreciated, too...

many thanks, everyone!
[Galaxy S I9000 General] tiethilo:
double dude!

ACTUALLY it turned out the phone DOES connect to the network now, but nothing comes thru. none of the (few remaining functioning) apps can connect to it... open for suggestions...
[Galaxy S I9000 General] BushwalkerSP:
In my case only factory reset worked. After the upgrade to Froyo some applications stop working because they are no longer compatible with the new OS. After the reset they will disappear from your phone. I hope you didn't pay for them.;)

[Q] Wifi connect and immediately disconnects

Hi there all!

I just installed the 2.2.1 JPU ROM, everything went like a charm. WiFi functioned normally. After I installed the correct APN settings my WiFi somehow got messed up. It recognizes any network available and when I connect to my home-network it shows it's connecting. However, it immediately disconnects and after 10 seconds it starts scanning, recognizes my network, connects to it and the whole hustle starts over.

I've tried re-entering my APN settings (since it all started after I installed these), rebooting the router, the modem. My computer and laptop doesn't have any problems regarding connecting, immediately disconnecting and connecting again. This makes me believe the problem lies in my SGS.

I was hoping you guys had any hints and/or tips (Or a solution, that would be even better) regarding this issue.

Thanks a lot!
[Galaxy S I9000 General] hoezay:
I had the exact same problem.Started over ( with a wipe ) - and everything was fantastic.
[Galaxy S I9000 General] LucoBuck:
You mean you reflashed the JPU rom?
[Galaxy S I9000 General] LucoBuck:
Reflashed the 2.2.1 ROM, Didn't do anything, same problem.
[Galaxy S I9000 General] hoezay:
Try going back to your stock rom first.using the relevant .pit file.

Then go to jpu... No repartition and no .pit file.

[Q] [WIFI]Wifi cant connect to secure wifi

Hi, after I installed a new rom I cant connect to my wifi.

But the wired thing is, that just after i´ve installed a new rom it connects to my wifi, but after i´ve connected to a unsecure network it wont connect to my own again.

Is it the CSC?

Anyone have the same problem?

Anyone knows how to fix it?

[Galaxy S I9000 General] android.francis:
your office must have a secured WIFI connection. "Forget" the connection and link it back again by selecting the WIFI of your office and keying in the password. After the upgrade, the WIFI settings must have been wiped clean.

Hope this helps.

[Galaxy S I9000 General] omaga:
I have had problems with connection to my secured wifi allso. The problem appears every time i reset my phone to factory default, and the only cure i find for it to do the reset at home and make the wifi connection right away after the rom had started then it works perfect. Some time I made the factory reset somewhere else (job) and made all the setting and allso setup the wifi address but when i came home and try to connect it could not connect (wifi out of range what i get all the time?! even when I was standing right beside the router :D ). So when wifi never find the router I made a reset again and the connection were find right away?!?because I made the connection right away... dont know why its behaive like this:rolleyes: so from now on i allways make the factory reset at home. But when it works it works flawlessly

I can connect to another router at my job or an unsecured wifi, but not my own :). I know the reset thing sounds stupid because it should not work that way :) if it works prolerly, so it must be some issue with the phone??

because its very stange u must make a reset to get it work. I dont have many apps installed so i remember the apps and get them from Market and the another settings is so easy to make when u have made them few times.
[Galaxy S I9000 General] JJEgan:

[Galaxy S I9000 General] omaga:
I havent test that, disable security because the wifi should work with secured wifi right away if you know the ssid and password. Have never had any issues with wifi before, I have iP4 too and its working perfect all the time and my wifes N8, the same thing..works perfect, so i must wonder if the Samsung has missed something with galaxy?? Have allso two computers connect with the same router and never had this kind of problem. Wifi works perfect with Galaxy too but as I said in my previous post I had to do a hard reset first and find the router first before do any thing else.

XXJPY Wifi issue - slightly different

I have seen some WiFi issues with JPY but no ones seems quite the same as mine.

The phone stays connected to the network but data stops transferring so the icon remains there but trying to access the internet doesn't work until i cycle flight mode or wifi on/off. I have tried reseting using factory reset and by using recovery but the issue is still persisting. Anyone else experiencing this or got any suggestions?

known wifi connection showing as disabled

Hi all

I have been using my galaxy s for over a month or so now and have been loving it. it is rooted and i have installed lagfixes and also set cpu.

This morning i was quite happily browsing the internet on my galaxy, i came to do the same tonight and am unable to connect to my wifi connection at all. it is showing as disabled. If i "forget" the connection and then add it again it tries to get an IP address and then shows it as Remembered before showing it as disabled.

Just an update - got a new router and problems disappeared - strange because router hasn't caused any problems before but it looks like that *may* have been the problem - fingers crossed.

Could it be that JPX/JPY are more sensitive to different encryptions/routers?
[Galaxy S I9000 General] Cordelio:
For me it's the same problem. When I first install a rom it doesn't gets real connection until a while. After using some apps it gets rid off connection, as you say, the icon is still saying you are connected. I'm going to try with 6 version rom and I'll update.
[Galaxy S I9000 General] themate1987:
that's because JPY uses different wi-fi drivers than JPU/JPX so you can try flashing different firmware

[Q] Froyo and Wifi

Since I've upgraded to Froyo, a little over a month ago, I am having more and more problems connecting to any Wifi network. It doesn't matter whether I am trying to connect at home, work, cybercafe or anywhere else. I can see under Wifi Settings "Turning On" but after about 5 minutes, where it should say "Connected to NETWORK_NAME", it says Error. When it says "Error", no networks show up under the section Wifi Networks and I can not scan for networks. I usually have to try 4 or 5 times to get it to finally connect to a wifi network, other times it will work for a couple of days in a row without a problem. It seems to be some kind of random occurring problem.

I know it is not a configuration issue with my wifi networks, because if it was, I would never be able to connect to any network. I have searched the net high and low for this problem, but have not been able to find anything relevant to my problem, other than on this site, but for phone models other than the one I have and each seems to offer a different solution to the problem.

I'd like to know if anyone has had a similar problem and can maybe offer some kind of solution.

I am running a rooted Samsung Galaxy S. It was rooted already before I upgraded to Froyo and I never had a problem.

Model number: GT-I9000

Firmware version: 2.2

Build Number: FROYO.POJPS

Baseband version: I9000XXJPP

Kernel version: 2.6.32.9
