I get the wifi association failed error when trying to connect to a wifi network. Maybe due to use of myfreetether but I don't need to tether anymore and uninstalled it. I tried webos repair utility to replace the sd8xxx.ko driver but still have the same problem. Anything else to try?

Not from personal experience, but I have seen others suggest restarting your router...don't know if this will help but worth a try?

I should be able to help w/spare's question:
Spare, after you do what Blaize/Mistress/Janie (whew) said, u'll probably have to have the pre 'forget' the previous association it had with ur network and then u'll have to re-establish the settings for that network again (network name, password or WEP key).
Try that too.

Is it a home wifi network ? G, B or N ? Believe the pre receives G signal.

Network is on 54G auto. Although I get the error at other people's houses too, which is where I'd like to have it since I won't have my computer with me.

Have you attempted in resetting your wifi preferences on the phone ? Prefrences -> // Forget network / power down and restart ? Also do you have Auto IP settings selected to on ?

Will try this next if I get the error again. Auto IP is on. Wifi holding so far since reboot of router. Quick test passed. *Crosses fingers*

If anything changes try to make note of it so the next time it happens we can troubleshoot the problem with less variables to consider.

Good luck

hey spare did you see my answer to your post earlier ??

hey spare did you see my answer to your post earlier ??

I only saw the post about quick test. Did you post another?

I will try these fixes at friends houses too and report what worked.

[shadavis08]

ok kool update us please . the quick test if it finds something should send a report to palm or sprint .

[spare]

Sorry I didn't get back to this sooner. I wanted to test out the fix at a friends house a few times to be sure. Same problem as before, it will let me connect the first time then it disconnects and upon trying to reconnect, I'll constantly get association failed. I think the association failed is when it's trying to reconnect, if it didn't disconnect in the first place, I may not have that error.
The connection holds better at home however, a lot less disconnection. If I disconnect a lot due to the phone going to sleep though, I tend to get the association error upon trying to reconnect.

So for now, we have a partial fix. Thanks for all the help. If anyone has any further ideas, I'm open to them.

[EN4CER69]

I'm also having the same issue.

Does anyone know of a cure?

[EN4CER69]

I have tried everything mentioned to try and overcome the association failed, but still no joy.

I have to keep restarting my Linksys WAG354G router to get a connection.

Can anyone help me out with this please??

[RUSH]

This is a common problem with most phones,most people do get this error. It's not only palm pre/plus phones,I believe it is a wifi connection problems.Do this disconnect wifi then try connect it again. Good luck.

disconnecting from wifi doesn't help. I have to restart the router. This is a pain. Anyone got a fix for me plz?

[RUSH]

Don't you have EVDO or 3g connection? If the wifi is not working out then use one of your other internet connection. Are you sure the problem is the phone and not your wifi router, or something else interfering with your connection.
