Help Wi-Fi connection problems

[e888boo]

Hi

I am a bit new to the Android thing so please bear with me!

I got my Flytouch 3 yesterday so booted it up connected to my wi-fi no problems, anyway later on went to reconnect and it gets as far as 'obtaining IP address' then gives up and disconnects, it will however connect if i disable the security on my network which is WPA/PSK.

Everything else on my network works fine, my Macbook, iPhone, PS3, NAS, Wii, but not the Flytouch now.

Please help as It's driving me insane!

Thanks

Jim

Do you have the model number? It helps with giving you some direction.

Generically I would say go into settings under wifi and tell it to forget your router, turn your wifi off and reboot the pad. Then power back up, enable the wifi again and let it detect your router. Make sure you choose the remember box when you put in the password.

Ok so you tried flashing. Did you try the steps I mentioned above? You could also try flashing another ROM like Tim's 4e.

This is from tims tips you might try

Connecting to adhoc wifi network
The rom includes a driver for adhoc support, but it's not turned on by default, because while it works for most network it has been reported that it can not connect to certain type of other wifi networks (PEAP)

You can switch back and forth between the drivers through the dedicated GScripts:
click on the corresponding GScript to switch to the Ad-hoc, original rom wifi driver ( that one is the default when you boot)
If it doesn't seem to work, reboot or try this application

Hi

Yeah I tried the original suggestions, and the Tim tips and the Adhoc Switcher which all didn't work unfortunately.

Is Tim's 4e much different in respect of the wifi stuff?

Thanks again.

You'd have to look at the changelogs on each. I am just suggesting and alternative to try. Some people online say the networking is better on 4e. You could even try reflashing Tim's 5a.
