This is on 2.2 Pre 8

Is it set to pick up all available (vs just adhocs, or just access points)? Is your wifi adapter set to accept a server assigned IP? I'm always having to fix those settings because ICSControl and WMWiFiRouter don't clean up after themselves.

I haven't installed either of them since the last hard reset. I checked any everything is correct. All Available and Server assigned IP.

Any ideas?

I just hard reset and tried my WIFI. No go. Time to try 5069k and see what I get.

I have had the same wifi problem you have described here. I tried several different versions of no2chem's ROM's and the stock Alltel ROM. None of them work. I have discovered that it is related to linksys wireless access points only (at least for me.) Unfortunately, I have a linksys access point at my house so the wifi on the Titan is a no go for me...I really hope someone has an idea on how to fix this...

Thanks

I use a linksys router in my home and can connect just fine, how did you narrow it down to linksys ?

I went to the mall and they have free wireless internet access which is not a linksys access point and I connected fine. I also went to Ihop to eat and they have a linksys wireless access point and my phone doesn't see it either. My friend who was with me has a PPC 6700 and connected no problem so I just assumed it was just linksys. I know that I haven't tested extensively, but I didn't have a problem at home with my router until I upgraded to the new firmware. I'm wondering if that's the problem. My computer connects fine...otherwise I wouldn't be able to post to this thread, but my phone doesn't see anything, even if I broadcast the SSID and disable security...

My wifi is just plained fried. I tryed 2.2 Pre 8, 5069k and the latest official rom. My WIFI doesn't work consistantly with any of them. It will work for short periods of time when my phone is cool. The minute it gets warm, nothing. I think I need to use the protection plan. Ack.

not that I doubt it's fried, but another tidbit I'm not sure everyone is aware of.
the bluetooth and wifi antenna are located on the bottom corner, scroll wheel side. http://i1.tinypic.com/6xicyyx.jpg

I find that's where my hand is while holding the phone, also
a drop on this corner could mess with the antenna,
but working while cool and not when hot, does seem to point to a bad chip.

Shaggy, I am fairly confident it is fried. The when it works the wifi light blinks. When it doesn't work the light does blink. Something is fried. I just complete a 1000 mile road trip with the A/C blowing on my phone the whole way and of course wifi worked the whole trip. When we arrived in NC I left the phone in the car for 20 minutes and wifi quit working. Crap.
