Help HTC Legend fails to connect to Wi-Fi

[plugandplay]

I have a Wi-Fi router D-Link Dir-615.
My HTC Legend recognize the router but after enterring the key to unlock the connection, it fails to connect. 2 PC are connected and the HTC touch of my wife too, and all three work fine. Somebody can help me, Thank you in advance

the wifi signal on the legend is applaing it might just be the strength is crap

 

[benner]

same for me. i just ditched my galaxy for the legend and the wifi is not nearly as strong. in any case, both drop out for no reason from time to time. probably an android thing. sucks.

Also, for reference I've found WiFi analyzer from http://a.farproc.com/wifi-analyzer to be quite a handy little free app for finding a better channel if you are having connection issues as its quite common to find loads of local routers competing for the same channels.

Hi all,
I'm having the same problem. It was fine before, but I haven't been able to connect all day. I used to use We-Fi and Locale, but both have been de-installed. I also use Juicedefender, but that one is disabled atm.
I can see my wifi-router, with varying strength. Within settings I can see what is happening as follows: "Obtaining IP address from..." followed by "Unsuccesful"
Anyone have an idea? Is it the phone or the router? My wife's Tattoo works fine, as do the connected laptops.

Thanks
Scaramaus

Easy solution that works for me everytime is to restart your router, not your phone because that does not work. This is just an idea that works for me so dont complain!

Thanks for the tip, Frostation. Unfortunatly I tried that a few times.

I will agree, my laptop connects fine with the router by 'legend' has always problems, anyone working on any fix

 

[erk]

I'm experiencing problems as well. I only have 2g coverage here so wifi needs to work, and it just doesn't. My previous Nokia N95, N900, 5800, and E51 all worked. It can't be that hard to make it connect can it?

it has weak wifi receiver

Guys, can you indicate the following info? I'm have no this issue.
1. WiFi AP brand and model names?
2. Legend Rom code version?
3. Any more detail info such as reproduce steps?

Man was I hyped to buy this phone, until I heard about these wifi and bad signal problems. I heard different things about how some of the devices are faulty, or that the receiver is just bad by default, or that maybe it's a software problem etc...

So after so much time could anyone explain what exactly is the problem, if it's fixable, if it is, when it's gonna be fixed.

thanks

This is not going to help anybody, my legend has never picked up wifi apart from 2-3 times even when sat next to the router. I have tested it against other machines. Have a sneaky feeling my phones a dud.

My Legends wifi have seemed patchy since i got i a week ago too.

What I have noticed is that it depends on how you hold the phone. Leaving the upper part of the phone free from my hand gives me way better reception than when I hold a finger or even my whole hand over the top of the phone.

I would be great if some of you could try this out and see if you get the same result.

I had a similar problem to OP but found that the Legend connected better after the router had been reset. However after a few hours it would not connect and I had to reset the router again. Laptops and other phones worked fine.

There are many networks in my area so I thought maybe better security would help. I already had WPA2 but I added MAC filtering and disabled SSID broadcast. This helped a lot! Now my Legend connects without any problems. It also has quite good signal around the house, though signal strength was not really the problem.

Details:
-Billion 7404VGPX router
-standard Android 2.1-update1 Build 2.10.178
-also same experience with my gf's Legend running 2.2
