When you installed new ROM did you run connection setup and then disable proxy? That is usually why people have no data connection
My data "works" but is very iffy. I'm finding that a lot of times I can't even make a call without having to close my data connection. I'm on 3G ("H") so this shouldn't be a problem.
And what sucks is later WM6.5 roms are having difficulties closing out the data connection automatically. I always pull my phone out of my pocket and see the data has been connected for like 4 hours. I disable Data in the HTC Connection Manager but it still reconnects automatically. I think its my email opening the data connection, but it should close after so many minutes. I've noticed this on several of the later roms.
I have my email setup through a UC XML file on first boot. Is it just me?
You may want to try flashing a new radio and then the appropriate Rilphone.dll. Maybe this will break things free. You do not even loose any data in the process.

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.
i hang on you **** iphone users they just bay for its cool smartphone **** iphone android is the king
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

Has anyone had issues with the HTC Media Link HD? Everytime I connect to it I am bombarded with "Data Call Failure: Error Code 67 Unable to establish wireless data conection." I can't access any internet related apps, yet I can still text and do calls. I am not connect to a wireless router, I am using wifi direct connect. Can someone try replicating this problem by connecting to the media link directly and let me know if you are getting the same error? Sprint was unable to help me with this and they even had me reset my phone so much that I lost all data connectivity and had to do two complete resets to get my data profiles to come back, yet I am still getting the persistent error code 67. All help will be appreciated.
~Seechay
Edit: After I got my data back, I attempted the media link again. I was able to get the internet working. Then I rooted the phone and found out that I know am getting the data call failure error. Does anyone have any idea why the root might be messing with my data connection?
Bump! Please if anyone has any insight at all =/
Does no one have any idea or a similar problem?
i am having the EXACT same problem as you. just picked up my media link device tonight and started toying around w/ it. sadly i have no solution at the current time.
I'm gonna make a backup and see what I can find. I've got one too. How did you guys set up WiFi direct? I'll go play around in that menu and try to figure it out.

i didn't mess with wifi direct. i let the media link app do all the configurations.
Alright, I'm ready to start diagnosing your guys' issues. I only used my home WiFi and never connected directly to the Media Link HD receiver, so I set that up and then disconnected. I am in a basement (that's where my room is), so I frequently get data drops but I always reconnected after a few minutes or just going upstairs. So, are you in a poor signal area? Have you updated your profile and PRL? Maybe try rebooting? Have you updated the Media Link to its latest firmware? I don't know what to tell you, as I tried switching between both methods of connecting to the Media Link box and couldn't replicate a complete loss of data; mine always came back on. I'm running the latest viperROM, if that makes a difference, but it shouldn't.
Edit: Hold up. When connecting directly to the Media Link's network, you lose all internet connectivity, as the phone's WiFi is connected to an internetless network, but still, you should reconnect to 3G no problem after turning off WiFi. I get the error message a couple times, but my 3G always comes back on.

When it's getting the error 67 code, its trying to enable the hotspot feature on the phone for some reason. Since you don't have it active, its erroring out.

Do you know if there is a Fix? I am wondering if I root this beast and do the Sprint Hotspot hack (If it is even available) if that would fix it.
I was out of town all weekend so I have a lot of catching up to do on the forums.
I'm having the same problem. After 30 minutes on the phone with Sprint, now I have zero data connection. Looks like it hard reset time or get a replacement.
Phone was working fine for 2 days.

The more I look around on the internet the more I think this is some kind of bug, I contacted HTC support last night hopefully they will have some idea.
I also tried running ruu lastnight and that didn't fix it, so it is either a hardware issue or software bug, and I have found no reports of direct connect media link and 3g working. So I am leaning towards a bug. Hopefully if we bug HTC enough they can fix it.

Not to rain on you guys, but my data still works after using direct connect. I got the same error acouple times because the network from the media link box has no internet, but after disconnecting, I always regained my data. Try going outside to get better reception?

I had full signal strength the entire time I was on the phone.
Hard reset fixed it of course.
Hopefully if it happens again, it will happen within my 14 window.
My 3g works while connected to media link now!
I modified the build.prop, to enable tether once I could use the sprint tether app without error 67 media link started working

Can you enlighten me on your setup? I am rooted and s off via lazy panda running the latest MeanRom. I'm trying to use WiFi tether to connect my hd media link and have 3g access. Were you successful in doing so? This would be handy when wanting to stream via 3g when wifi is not available. Thanks for your help!
Had same issue. Took phone and got a replacement. Not another issue at all.

I am running stock Rom right now. I did the build.prop mod to enable wifi tether. I kept getting error 67 I tried a number of things and sometimes I would get it to work for a little bit then stop so far nothing seems to work. I have tried working with HTC support and haven't had much luck. I am hoping to Flash Flex360 rom to see if that will solve this problem. since it has the wifi hotspot fix. I have confirmed that if the Sprint hotspot is working (not error 67) then media link works fine.
Interesting to see they swapped out phone, HTC told me the feature wasn't supported.

I got the build prop edited. As we speak I'm using 3g and media link hd. I can confirm 100% hotspot its required when direct link is used. I did get the data error a few times, but I'm unsure why. I'll keep testing. Let us know your results with the 360 rom. Thanks for the tip!
Seems to be working now, It worked, then I rebooted and it is still working, I did update firmware and radio

I had this same problem last week. I'm not sure what causes it. Check in settings/about/phone identity and look at the "current username". I had a bunch of jibberish in there. It should show your sprint email address. Turn off Wifi and update your profile. hopefully should fix it. Mine didn't fix it, I ended up running the RUU back to stock then it reset with the profile update.
Hi,
My apologies if this is the incorrect section. I know the Virgin Mobile SGS2 is NOT the I9100 model, however the correct phone was not listed on this site (nearest is the T-Mobile model, but the options differ on their phone).
I'm experiencing an issue with trying to enable the wireless hotspot option for my phone. In every instance I have tried, I have received errors that ad-hoc failed to start and related problems. Let me make it clear that this version of the samsung galaxy DOES NOT have the option to turn on wireless tethering in the native settings menu (it's simply not there). My carrier most likely hid the option because it is an extra $15 a month to use the feature. I can, however, attempt to start the hotspot service with a third party app, but it runs for no more than 3 seconds and I get error 67:" Unable to connect to data network, turning off Hotspot..."
My phone is rooted and I have full access to edit system files (I did so to remove the ear-piercing camera shutter noise). I am using the stock rom and do not intend to flash a different rom to this phone. To lessen redundant suggestions that have been said hundreds of times and have failed to fix my issue, here is everything I have done:
Attempted to use FoxFi. All this app does is start the native hotspot capability on your phone, so I got the same error 67. No network connection. The network only appears for a split second when enabling the native hotspot setting, but since the phone turns it off, I can't connect to it.
Attempted to use Barnacle. I receive the error "Could not set ad-hoc mode of wlan0: Operation not supported on transport endpoint."
Attempted to use Wifi Tether for Rooted Users (for some reason this app is listed as "Not Compatible" for my phone in Google Play). Again, I receive an error that setting ad-hoc failed. All other services start successfully though, but the network does not appear for my PC to connect to.
Checked to make sure my 3G/4G is actually on and functioning.
Despite all this, I CAN utilize the USB tether feature just fine in PdaNet. It's the wireless hotspot that is eluding me. I know that flashing a different rom can get me around this issue, but I really would prefer to resolve this problem without doing that if it's possible. One thread I read said something about editing a .db file, but it was for an HTC phone and I'm a little wary to try it on my phone. I'm sorry for coming off rather cross, but I'm just a bit frustrated as every solution I find never works. It seems like this would be a simple thing to do. Is there a system file I can edit that will allow my phone to enable its native hotspot capabilities? Or something that will resolve the ad-hoc issue? Or am I blindly over-looking something obvious? If nothing will work except for flashing, then hey, at least I tried. It's not going to kill me if I can't get the wireless tethering to work, but it was one of the reasons I wanted to root my phone.
Any help would be greatly appreciated. Thanks in advance!
I randomly figured out the problem myself. Downloaded something on a whim and it actually worked. Let me go through each step so anyone else who has this same problem can try this out.
The majority of what I did can be followed here:
*Can't post the link. Thank you, forum restrictions... It's from a website called "highonandroid.com" so google that with the appropriate keywords (wifi tether, android, etc.).
But in case the link goes dead or something like that, here is a step-by-step reiteration:
1. Download Trev-E's mod for the Wifi Tether for Root Users app. I have the exact version I used attached to this post.
2. Install it, and immediately go to settings and make the following adjustments:
- Change device profile to "Generic ICS/JB (wlan0)."
- Change setup-method to "Netd-Ndc (master)."
- Tick the option "Send Netd Max Client Cmd."
- Tick "Wifi driver reload." The second one did not work for me, but try it if the first reload does nothing.
- Although the original tutorial says to tick "MSS clamping," this option is not available on my phone. But this did not stop the app from working.
3. Exit settings and hit the wifi icon. Fingers crossed it works for you!
After doing that, the app showed no errors in the log, the network name appeared on my computer, and I was able to connect effortlessly. Most importantly, the internet worked!
Also, enabling/disabling the tether DID NOT break my phone's wifi or 3G service. Everything ran fine when I stopped using the app and I didn't need to restart my phone. Putting this out there because I know some phones will trip out when enabling this feature. Good luck! And big thanks to xda's Trev-E for the app.
Thank you! That was driving me nuts trying to tether my GS2 to my tablet. I dont have the clamping option either but its working perfectly when nothing else has.
Nice instructions. I rooted my phone today (root virgin), downloaded the trev-e you have linked and got it to work. (Virgin Mobile Samsung Galaxy SII 4G)
I then tried to use encryption and the phone was just not having it, the internet connection wouldn't work anymore (laptop was connected but said there was no internet access). Frooze up the phone, had to reboot, frooze again, reboot, turn the feature off, freeze, reboot, pull battery etc etc. Finally have it working again with encryption off.
Pretty happy to have tethering working, but wish I could encrypt it haha.
Do I have the wrong TrevE using the stock ROM? (using the TrevE linked in this thread).
Now to learn what else to do in the wonderful world of being rooted...
*** EDIT- Looks like installing busybox fixed the issue!!
Thanks!
Awesome work, follow the instructions if you have virgin mobile it will work perfectly
