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.

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.

When wifi is connected some times internet does`t work, said conection problems, I turn off and again on and it`s working for some time, then again conection problems. Anyone have same problem??? How fixed??? Thanks in advance
Does your wireless internet connection have a password?
If so is the password entered correctly?

Maybe you could, let the phone forget the connection (delete it) and then try it again.

I tried, same problem.....
restart your wireless router or access point, see if that helps!
Maybe you have the wrong modem.
Take a look in the Modem Collection thread in the Android development section.
It often happens after installing custom ROMs

i think this is a kernel issue coz of the rom installed!
try reconfiguring ur router but after forgeting the network on ur phone and c how this works out!
My phone has had this problem since new. It stayed through stock firmwares KE1, KE2, KE7 and KF1, and has also occured through all Lite'ning Rom versions. I notice it's happening to users of a number of other roms, but isn't a widespread problem.
I have tried reconfiguring routers and forgetting the connection, but the problem persists. Very annoying, but not enough for me to send the phone back to the UK for repair (I'm in New Zealand!).
The problem is not resolved under the leaked 2.3.4 either, I've already heard of someone with the same problem on the 2.3.4 version of DarkyRom2.
Edit: Wifi is set to never sleep. Even cycling through this setting does not help.
those who have problem with WIFI try to reflash back your root application like CF-Root...then your WIFI should be working again...
does this work for anyone? i have never been able to on my 101
I have no problems connecting to my unsecured network at home (don't worry, there's only maybe five houses on my street that could even reach it!) How far can you get in connecting? For example, will it see the network when you scan? Will it fail when you try to select it? Will it select, but not have a web connection?

Never had a single issue. Are you sure it's not Adhoc or something? What channel is the AP?
i've been unable since i first bought it... and ive updated firmware and done full restores before.
it connects fine but doesn't actually have internet once it does. happened on a few different networks but most notably would be my phone when i made it a hotspot it would work fine if i put a password on but wont if i do it unsecured

I have to reconnect to my phone sometimes when using hotspot, seems like the routing breaks every once in a while, but I connect to multiple unsecured networks(actually using radius auth, but that won't change anything) on a regular basis. Sorry, I can't really think of anything that would cause that even after reformatting. I'd start looking at the dmesg logs for an error.
This is a weird one. For a month I have been using the Leedroid rom with Honeycomb. I have the /htc /flyer 32gb with 3g (UK). In the last few days I have lost my internet connection on both wIFI and on 3g. I did get it back for a few hours today and now I can't connect again!
Having a tablet with without connectivity is a bit like having a fancy brick :-(
I have tried removing the Sim card and re-inserting it and trying a different wifi router.
Anyone else had issues like this?
i assume you haven't made any changes/modifications/installations recently that may have messed with it?
for your 3G connectivity, put your sim card in your phone to determine whether the issue lies with the sim card or the Flyer...also check your APN settings
same with wifi - can you connect your phone to your router's wifi?
my guess is that you installed an app that's messed with your settings
Problem solved (sort of)
Thanks for the reply
You may have been right that an app messed up my settings. I know the APN settings were correct as I could connect from my Nokia phone using them and the SIM card. I could also use two other definitely internet connected routers.
In the end I did a factory reset using CWM. After a few scary moments after the re-boot it was working again. Evidenced by the fact that after reboot the tablet tried to download my previously installed apps again!
I have had to re-do some settings and the Flyer seems to be runnng a lot more smoothly than before. Still no idea what caused my problems but will definitely be checking after I install apps in future that my web connection stays up just in case! Update, it seems my g and ADSL wifi are not getting along together - had no probs before though....mmmm....

you can stop that from happening...that's a "feature"...lol...either untick "back up my settings" under >settings/privacy; or don't add a google account after a new flash until you have reinstalled apps from a backup

some people have had success changing the wifi channel on the router to something higher than 11 (so i've heard, i've never had to do it myself)...you may also want to try setting static IPs for any other wifi devices to avoid conflicts
either way, it is far more likely that the issue would be settings other than ROM related, else everyone else would be having the same issues
you could also try something like this

Hi All
Having a spot of bother tonight
Randomly my SG2 could not access the internet through my router.
It sees my router, no problem there. I can switch off wifi and get online with my data but not through wifi.
I had been using it all day but it just randomly stopped tonight and my router is working perfectly as my laptop and other phone is connected.
I have restored 3 different Roms which were up to two weeks old in some cases. Also flashed 3 kernels and 3-4 modems
On ICS Stock rooted LP7 with CF root LP7 kernel
Not sure what else to try so any help would be appreciated
I have searched and tried everything I can so if you can help, thank you.
Search in original android development in checkrom thread, 2 days ago somebody put a zip file to fix wi fi issue, like yours. It's called Wi Fi fix. Search and you'll find

Thanks Gregory
I tried it, but unfortunately it didnt work for me but I appreciate your help.
after flashing it, I couldnt even turn on wifi at the toggles or menu so I am doing a restore now and hopefully it will work.
I am not sure if doing a complete restore to stock firmware again will work.
Really dont know how this wifi issue so randomly appeared
Was your phone getting a DHCP address from the router or not ? on ICS, that happens when you get the popup message "Connected to XXXX".

Hi Vaxxi
If I dont understand what you are asking correctly, sorry.
the phone is receiving an I.P., gateway, dns, etc. each time I log on.
I can see that wifi connectivity is active but nothing is working despite clearing caches, doing restores, etc.
the problem started randomly
Yes, I was asking if it gets an IP through DHCP. Sometimes it gets stuck and you have to remove a file manually in order to refresh the IP address, but your problem seems to be somewhere else. Can you ping your phone from the router after it gets an IP address ?

I cant get near my router tonight unfortunately
I can 'see' it through 'Fing' app but if I try to use speedtest.net app to see if I have data, I get nothing.
I think I will try another stock flash again with LP7 stock, but I doubt it will work.
____________________________________________________________________________________________________________
Note: Fixed.
I did all the above to no avail.
Ended up reflashing the router firmware, not sure if this directly helped but upon reboot, my phone connected as usual but now had internet access again.
Strange as prior to flashing the firmware everything except my phone could avail of net access.
Thanks to each of you that helped.
im having the exact same issue. I have reflashed router firmware also but still nothing. Wifi symbol is there but not blue (cm9) data works perfect. Im also starting to wonder if its my router.
I have tried wiping all settings etc. Um currently downloading latest nightly so hopefully that does the trick!!
Hope someone can help with this: rooted the other day using the htc unlocker method. so s-on with root and still stock rom..have not changed anything other than install busybox. no other changes. have not even gotten to flashing roms yet. So the phone will not recognize my home towifi. when it scans for networks, it sees everybody (neighbors) but mine as being in range (even tho i am sitting next to it). at one point i finally got it to connect yesterday, but then when i went to work it never disconnected and returned to 3g, so when i went to use my internet for something it said it was still connected, when in fact it wasn't. so no data and no 3g. I had to physically turn off wifi to get the phone to be able to connect to 3g. now i am back home, it will not connect again. the phone does not see my network as being "in range", therefore will not connect.
I have several other devices that connect to the network just fine (like my laptop I am typing on).
any ideas would be greatly appreciated.
There's an app called WiFi analyzer and WiFi manager available on the play store. Idk y it isn't connecting to your WiFi now when it did before, but maybe one of these 2 apps can help.
WiFi analyzer will tell u what channels thw other WiFi networks are on in your area. It could be an issue of interference. It will also tell u the best channel to put your WiFi on to avoid that interference.
Do u have best WiFi performance on in settings-WiFi? Turn it off/on see if it makes a difference. Off is optimal since it kills batteries.
WiFi manager helped my phone recognize and connect to open networks quicker than stock settings did. Maybe try that as well.
Is your connection password secured? WPA/WPA2, WPK? Is it a linksys router? Try making a static ip for your phone. My phone would never connect at work on an open network until I made it a static ip. Or it would connect and never send data.
Actually, try that first, I forgot about that. If its an older linksys router that's probably what it is.

I will try some of those things, but I don't think that is it. whatever is wrong is coming from root. everything was fine before that. and i don't know anything about setting up a static ip. not a linksys, btw.

Root doesn't have anything to do with your WiFi. It is highly unlikely anyways. Google how to set up static ip. U can do it right from your phone.
Your router doesn't show up at all or does is try to connect and nothing? Mine tried to connect and nothing. To set up a static ip your phone needs to at least see the router.
If you're rooted are u s-off? Either way, try installing a rom of your choice and doing a full wipe to clear out whatever is causing the issue. Maybe try installing new radios/firmware. RUU to newest ota version.
Good luck!

downloaded wifi analyzer, but that doesn't really help me figure out why the wifi will not connect or disconnect properly. As stated in my original post I am rooted, s-on, with unlocked bootloader htc method. this problem is almost exactly the same problem i had my samsung s2 when it first came out. the radio would not wake up after sleeping and the wifi radio was all messed up. In exactly the same way..
once it connects it is ok, but when i leave the house it never disconnects! so when i go out, it does not switch over to the 3g radio, and at that point i have to TURN OFF wifi. When I come back in the house then i have to go through another long process of trying to get it to connect to my wifi again. I did not change ANYTHING after rooting. So it has got to be related to that somehow....it just says. "MWOI0 not in range", but yet it will show 5 others in the neighborhood as being available (all secured like mine).
Does your regular computer/laptop connect to your wifi?
Have you rebooted your router/modem?
We had a power outage/surge one day and the computers connected still had connection, but the items which were disconected (phones left house for work) would not reconnect.
I know it sounds simple, but we spent half an hour figuring out why some devices had wifi and some didn't.
You are seeing neighbors wifi's, that's why I suggest this.
I also noticed this other thread, maybe related,
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1691189
There's an app called tasker in play store that allows u to turn on/off wifi by location automatically. It costs a pretty penny, but definitely worth it. The possibilities are exponential with that app.
Look into setting a static ip & change the channel on your router. Give u advice and u don't want to try it. Do u really want it fixed or is it just an annoyance u like to complain about?
Static ip worked for my phone in a similar situation. Up to u to implement the fixes.
