Internet connection issues on 3g - Vibrant Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

I am using a vibrant that has been updated then rerooted with one click root. Its stock touch wiz and the only reason I rooted was to get rid of bloat ware. I have been having internet connection issues for awhile and was wondering if there is a fix. I dont nearly use it enough to get a data cap and the only way to get the connection back on is if I turn the phone to airplane node and off again.thanks for any help. I appreciate it.

Can't connect wifi???

Hey everyone. I have a problem connecting via wifi. When I first bought my vibrant I was able to connect just fine on stock rom. Now I have done all the rooting and flashing many times. Tried many roms. Im on nero v3 right now. Every rom I tried I was not able to connect through wifi at all. I don't use wifi calling or need it. I just want to be able to browse through wifi. When I go to turn on wifi it keeps looping from connecting to disconnecting and no wifi icon pops up at all. My router does have a security and I entered the right password but still no connection. Can somebody help??? Maybe im doing something wrong here. Again it has done the same with any rom I've tried.

I had to get off the 80211.n to get it work. The roms have all done this so far.
Even my wifes stock vibrant was effected by my phone.
Then I just swapped my older router back in. G network. And it works.
All I know. I have never seen this answered.
All they do is ask have you done this or that.
Not one person has ever fixed it for me. Sorry.
Lastly seems to work if you disable security on the router.
That sucks.

Hmm I can't remember if my router is g or n. Im gonna have to check. Ur right tho I searched all over and can't find anyone with the same problem. Closest I came across is the wifi calling problem that everyone has. I even downloaded a supposedly good wifi calling apk for ****s and giggles but that didn't help either. Its irritating

I know this sounds silly but when this happened to me, restarting the modem,then the router, then try connecting again. This did the trick for me. Just be sureties do it in this order. Hope this helps.

[Q] No Data Connection After Flashing to Stock Via Odin

Hey, I got a softbrick on my vibrant, reflashed back to stock and everything is working except I get no data connection. No 2g/no 3g, no Data icon at all. Even if I am on wifi I am also unable to download anything from the market place however my datasync / push with e-mail also works.
Any ideas?
Thanks
figured out my APN was empty... all good.
same issue, i don't know how to fix it. Mobile Network state says disconnected and connecting but never connects...
Might help to say I'm using a Galaxy S Continuum
and the only reason I'm posting here is because this is the only topic similar to my issues.

I couldnt figure it out either, so just used Wifi to get myself going...
Turns out 2.1 doesn't support two factor authentication with Google accounts, (at least I couldnt get it to work) so you may need to turn that off too to get going.

[Q] Wireless tether issue

Okay i am running liquid thunderbread v2.6 and for some reason when i activate wireless tether the app in the setting activates as well and cancels wireless tether out so i have to manually set up a wifi connection each time. Is this a known issue or is there a fix for it. I was thinking maybe there was way to delete the stock tethering setting but havent found anything so far.
Thanks in advance for any tips tricks and help.
I've been having odd issues with any and all WiFi tether apps.
Like only v 2.0.7 of Wifi-Tether works for older devices such as my old Droid1 and such, but I cant enable WEP on it.
Now on Barnacle, I can use WEP and my iPad/laptop sees my phone, except my Droid1 and some other wifi devices cant see it.
And the latest version of Wifi-tether, doesn't work at all for my phone.
I'm running stock GB OTA update with revoked-root methahod.
Weird yea all my devices see it but for some reason they cant connect because the stock one in the settings cancels it out and I have to manually enter it in

k... thought it was just me.
wifi tethering ain't working for me either. I am going to try a few things and report back later on. Just found out last night.
Using BAMF forever
Try deleting com.htc.tetheringguard worked for me but after deleting you cant use Verizon hotspot so make a back up.
If I helped you in any way please use the thank you button.

Use phone without service

Is there a way or a rom where i can use my fascinate as just a wifi internet device?
After flashing Vanilla it will not connect to internet through wifi or to market.
My Fascinate is still running MIUI build 9/16 with no service and wifi/internet still works.
Sent from my MIUI'd Mesmerize
you should be able to run any rom without service on wifi. I used my ol eris that way after I got mh fascinate
Yeah, most roms have the option to turn mobile data off. Just switch it off and wifi on and you should be good to go

I never had a problem using wifi in the month I had my fassy without service.
Just got a Samsung Charge and wanted to do the same with my Fascinate. I was having errors installing apps via the Market Place. It was giving me the error "file package invalid" or something. I put it in airplane mode and then enabled wifi and now it works. I'm not sure why. Can anyone explain? I did root it and was running an older ROM from this site.

[Q] Enable Wifi Tethering on Stock ROM

Hello all, I have a rooted S2 with a stock ROM (ICS). I had to accomplish a master reset due to some issues I was experiencing. Prior to the reset I was using WiFi tethering. I have a grandfathered account with AT&T and so I used the tethering hack/option with my phone previously. For the life of me I cannot get it to work once again. I have done research on he web and can not find how I did it before. I have Titanium back up and in reviewing all the apps I do NOT have Tethering Manager APK to freeze.
I remember that after I either installed or modified something on the phone that i would go through the normal tethering option in settings and select tethering. The little blue icon would show up in the notification bar but the dialog box would remain saying it was working on activating the tethering option. All I had to do was to select the Home button and Wa-La I had tethering active for my tablet.
I would appreciate any help in getting WiFi tethering to work again.

Be careful sing the WiFi tethering option in stock. I believe AT&T is able to see if you tether on stock. When I was on stock (and unrooted) I used Foxfi WiFi tether. Just google it.

He stated he was grandfathered in so it shouldn't be a problem right?

Probably not. I didn't even know you could tether without root as the big A wan't to sell you the ability to tether. If he pays att for the tethering plan he should contact customer service. If he wants to do it the XDA way he needs to flash a rom.
Just my opinion. I am not totally certain of any of the above information. Just the way I understand what information I have seen.
Found It!!
Found out how to enable WiFi on stock AT&T ROM
Here it is!!!

Actually bookmarked it this time!!!!
