Hey I'm new to android, just got a vibrant last week. Decided to unlock it as I travel a lot. The unlock worked, but now I'm having issues with my wifi. I can connect to a wireless network but I cant load pages. The wireless signal is strong and I tried with different routers, but still no luck. Looked through the forum and googled it but couldn't find a solution. If some one could please help with this, it would be much appreciated
try clearing your current wifi settings including remembered connections, passwords, and everything else...then re-scan for networks all over again, that's all I can think of for now
By that you mean just gong into settings->wireless and networks->wifi settings and then just forget the net work, rescan, and rejoin the network? If so, I did that but am still getting the same result. If you can think of anything else or if I didnt do what you suggested correctly please let me know. Thanks

yeah, thats what I meant :/....hmmm...sounds like your connection is working, can you download stuff from the market or is it just the browser? cause I unlocked mine too and wifi works fine
No I cant download anything from the market. I cant do anything that requires an internet connection, but it does show that I am connected to a network.

hmmm...im out of tips then ...perhaps some other members can be of more assistance
I sure hope so, thanks for your help
Have you been able to try another network? My first thought was it was in Ad-Hoc mode but I could be wrong. If nothing else restore to stock firmware and then try a different unlock.
Happened to me too. It would show the wifi icon on the notification bar but wouldn't load pages. I'd go to the settings and it'd say can't turn off wifi or can't turn on wifi. And when it was "on" I'd say connecting to modem then it'd just stop. When I was using the browser on wifi it would load a page even when I had full bars. I had to turn it off then back on to load another page. Is this similar to the problem your having?

I hope this doesn't sound stupid but yesterday I uninstalled Advanced Task Manager and poof my wifi started working again. The phone also seems to suffer from less occasional lag without it installed, but that's another story for another thread. Prior to this I had to manually turn my wifi connection off and on, but even that didn't always work. Since the uninstall I have not my wifi connection once. I am currently using the stock rom, rooted with minor adjustments here and there.
hi guys, i also have this problem.
i will be taking the phone in to the tmobile store on thursday.
it shows that i am connected via wifi; however, anything that requires an internet connection does not load.
very frustrating, since just yesterday i used the samsung kies software to tether a network for my laptop. i was testing the capability of the vibrant to act as a modem, and it worked just fine.
any help would be appreciated!
thank you
Charlie
connected but not connected
I also have this problem.
In my Vibrant shows that i connected, but i can not load pages. Someone
found any solution to this problem?
Hi all,
This is happening to me too. Rebooting seems to get Wifi working correctly again. But the problem comes back eventually.
Maybe a bug in the latest JI6 update?
Wi-fi problem.
Someone found any solution for this problem?
Froyo's update will fix this issue?
Thanks.

I'm having trouble with my wifi as well. Its been working for weeks since I got it but all of a sudden wifi won't pick up any networks. I ran the diagnostics and I get error 1000, wifi not enabled, even though it is.
This problem has been mentioned on other forums but no one has come up with a definitive fix. If anyone can, it would be someone on this forum.
Try forcing your router to "g" and setting the channel to something below 10 instead of "auto". I don't know about the TP but until recently the Transformer couldn't connect to channels over 12 and my TP does not like my mifi on "n"

Thanks for the suggestions, however, I'm not sure why changing the settings on my router will fix the problem because the Touchpad was connecting to the same router before. I used to be able to pick up my neighbors' wifi before as well but now the Touchpad doesn't pick up anything. It just stays on searching for access points.
Try webos doctor?

If you go to HP's website and have a chat with support, they are able to remotely reset the device! I had this same problem.
I'm experiencing something weird tethering my Nexus S to my TF Prime in order for the tablet to use the phones internet connection.
I have ICS on both devices, and last week paired them up, marked the Nexus to share its internet connection, and everything worked fine and I updated facebook and twitter to my hearts content.
This week however, when I connect the devices, the Transformer Prime constantly shows "No Internet Connection". The phone can be used to surf, so its net connection is intact, and in the Tether settings it says "sharing the Internet connection with 1 device", so it doesn't appear to be a problem with the phone.
However the Prime still shows "No Internet Connection". I was wondering if there was any fix this issue. I can't find reference to this anywhere else in the forums.
Ideally I don't really want to use other apps to do this, since I already know they aren't necessary as I was connected and working fine last week. I only want to know what I have to do to make it work as it did before... can anyone help?
Thanks in advance!
As usual, I am experiencing a very strange problem. My GT7510 is currenty running the Task "beginning" ICS ROM. It works great when I am at home. When I go on the road, I sometimes experience a problem where nearby open WIFI networks that I know are working do not display on my Tab. I can connect to these networks on my laptop, iPhone or my wife's iPad but they are invisible on my Tab.
The latest occurance was at a hotel that offered free WIFI. In order to access the network, I first have to open a browser and provide an access code. This is easily done on the other devices but since I cannot even see the network on my Tab, I cannot connect so the browser can give me the login page.
I have Googled the problem until my fingers are ready to bleed but have not found anyone with the same problem. Does anyone have any thoughts on what could be going on?.
Now, having posted this problem, I can tell you that I stumbled on a work-around but I have no idea why it works. Just for fun, I activated the "personal hotspot" on my Jailbroken iPhone. This signal immediately showed up on my Tab. At the same time, the hotel signal suddenly appeared as well and I was able to connect to that signal.
I am hopeful that someone can shed some light on this strange problem for me. Thanks in advance.
Bump! I could really use some help with this problem.

I have just exhausted PIA's tech support and still neither the PIA vpn client nor openvpn seem to work properly on my i9100. They both install just fine, and seem to connect, but I check and my IP address is the same as it was before, and then I go to the PIA site and it confirms that I am "not protected". I have tried different ports and checking a variety of settings (hopefully not all of them) and nothing so far.
Is anyone else using PIA on the i9100 with CM12.1? If yes were you able to get PIA up and running first time or was there something you had to do?
Anyone else that has thoughts about how to get this going would *really* be appreciated!
Nothing? Please, I have been trying to get this to work for weeks now, no luck, anyone using Private Internet Access VPN successfully yours thoughts would be appreciated if you had any experiences even remotely similar to mine.
