[Q] wifi won't pull ip address - Vibrant Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

I used One click to unroot, I used rom manager by clockworkmod, to install obsidian 4.2 and now my wifi will not pull an ip address. If I try I have to reboot the phone to get the data network to come back up. I tried re-flashing and it didn't work. Am I missing a fix that is out there? Every search I complete I get info about wifi calling...not interested in that, I just want my wifi to work(makes updating at home a much faster process)
Thanks BabyGirlYoyo

I could never get an answer for this either.
I have to use it w/o security for it to work. Don't know why. Other wise it won't take the authentication.

Wifi connection issue

I flashed 2.2 2.0.5 I have done this twice and can't seem to get my wifi router and my phone to connect.
My wife has the standard firmware and connects with no trouble.
My phone did before I flashed the 2.2 axora I think its called. Sorry.
Ive tried the solutions in xda I could find. E.g resetting the router. Flashing the rom again.
I get nothing. Can some one please help me out.

Why does this question always go unanswered?

I have 2.0.5 and no prob on wifi. Does it see any wifi signal?
I think what you need to do is explain what is the problem and what you have done to try and rectify in detail. "This is broken" usually wont get good responses.
What is the problem?
What does it do when you try to connect?
What error did you get?
Did you already search Google / forums for solutions and what where they? Did they produce a different error?
I would suggest trying a wifi manager app from the market to try and help. Did you try and reset your WiFi? (reboot). Did you try and reset to a different password for the wifi?
What have you done already to try and fix it?
Well I fixed it. In a crazy way mind you. My phone would not connect to the router.
Bottom line is I had to allow a guest and secure it like normal. Using guest I can log into my wifi.
Not in my normal profile.
Try to use the guest profile on your router.
Hhmm. Im on axura 2.0.5

[Q] Help! My X10 Can't Detect Wifi...

My X10 can't detect my home wifi... What can I do? It can detect wifi anywhere but not my home wifi... So, I guess it's the problem with home router. Btw, I'm using Innacomm W3400V wireless modem... Thanks in advance!!
What ROM r u running because some ROMs might not not have wifi working if its in early developmental stages or u dont have the latest update?

Check your router settings it might have something to do with the isolation setting I can't think of the name of it but I will hopefully

A lot of the newer roms are also having issues with any router using WPA2 encryption (can't say for sure with WEP, since I don't have any to test with). But if you're open (no encryption) it'll connect just fine, but WPA/WPA2, it'll have some connection problems. Lots of people are having this issue, there's a few fixes that work for some, but not for others. Search is a great friend for that.
try making a second ssid for your phone on ur router
If all else fails and you need a new router...
save a few bucks on a router and use this instead.

I use this on several USB dongles on the end of some long usb leads.
Gets me wifi everywhere.
even use this on laptop in my car, wifi hotspot any where "we play dota after work"
Reset your wi-fi password if u hav 1. Otherwise check if your phonevcan detect other networks, and check if other people can join your network. good luck.

ok, should be your router's problem then. Sign onto your ISO's account settings if it only allows commuters to connect. Some router's default settings are configured like that. Can other devices (not computers) connect to it home wifi?
Like I said, if u hav security code, reset it.

Issues with data connection.

Hello everyone, i am experiencing an issue with my data connection and it goes like this.
When i flash certain rom my data connection is disabled, for example, toxic baby wp7, bionix-v wud work perfectly fine with data connection but when i flash say, trigger and toxic baby slim my internet data connection ceased to work.
Ive tried rebootin, went to settings, toggle on/off data on my power menu, airplane mode... nothing worked.
So i had to flash back to my previous rom. I wud really like an explanation or maybe a possible solution to how to work around this. Thank you.
I bought my vibrant in the states and i moved to malaysia, if that info helps. Any help is much appreciated.
Sent from my GT-I9000 using XDA App
That is cuz the roms like trigger and baby slim dun have those apn which you need for the days connection to work. You might need to configure the APNs yourself
Setting> wireless and network> mobile network> access point names
Hope this helps

Eternety rom Wi-Fi teathr

I just switched from dad bamf 4.9 to eternity 8-4 on my HTC Thunderbolt. When I try the Wi-Fi hotspots it shows the network is connected, but won't connect to the internet. Is this a known bug that has a fix, or do I have to keep switching roms to use the hotspots?
Also, is there an over locking app to boost the processor?
Thank-you
Kyle

What are your wifi hot spot settings currently? If you're restoring the settings from tibu that could be why it doesn't work. You may try updating the app.

You mean like the security settings in the hotspot app? The security, user name, and PW are all the same as before I loaded the new rom. My kindle fire shows that it's connected to the hotspot, I'm just not getting any internet signal. How would I update the app?
Thank you

Edit: Ok So I downloaded an app called WiFi Tether v3.2 from
http://code.google.com/p/android-wifi-tether/downloads/list
there's other versions, but I got the newest. It opens and says it's operational, but on my Kindle, it just keeps saying "obtaining IP address" and won't connect... I have the credentials the same as they were in the stock hotspot app.
You probably need to change the device profile. I don't know whet the kindle uses but try setting it to Google nexus one. Also make sure routing fix is checked

I set the device profile to "Thunderbolt (CDMA/LTE)," changed the channel to 10, and clicked the "Routing Fix" radio button. It's working! However, it will stop working after a while, then I have to reboot my phone to get it to start again. Thank you so much for your Help, disconnecktie.
Are you currently using the Eternity InfectedROM? If you are using it, or are pretty familiar with the ROM, I have a couple more general questions about it.
Thanks Again.
I ran it for about 2 months. I prefer the r248 build over the newer ones. What's the question? Oh and make sure you change your wifi sleep policy to never and that might help with the connection issues you're having.

[Q] unable to get wifi tether to work

I'm running the viper rom http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2124391
I've tried using 4 different tether apps including foxfi, the spring hotspot and wifi tether 3.2 pre2
None of them work. At worst the wifi connection doesn't even show up in the list of wifi networks. At best it starts to connect and if i have no encryption, says it's obtaining an IP address and never gets past that (the app shows a connected device at this point) or if i have encryption enabled, it doesn't get past authenticating.
I also saw a post about editing the build.prob to have ro.ril.transmitpower = true - tried doing that as well to no effect.
In the wifi tether app i tried using the two generic ics profiles. I tried it with mms clamping and route fix on and off - no good.
Can anyone please offer me some suggestions on how to fix this or at least narrow down what the issue is?
Thanks
Try this version

Thanks - where is this from originally? Sorry - just being a little paranoid - like to know what i'm installing
oh well - no luck. tried running this one under a couple of the available device profiles, including both generic ics profiles and auto - it wont even show up under the list of available networks no matter which profile i select.

Solution
I had the same problem but all you have to do is turn off access control and it should work.:fingers-crossed:

access control was off - even if it was on it should give me a prompt to accept the connection or not.
I had to do a full wipe of my phone and reinstall the rom - i wish i knew what it was that messed it up so i can avoid doing it again.
