cricket eris internet problems - Droid Eris Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Ok, I have everything flashed, everything works... sometimes.
voice and text always works, but internet only sometimes works.
I use wifi tethering and sometimes only the tethering will work, other times only the internet on the phone will work, and other times neither will work. I know its not a bad reception because its always in the same area.
Im using the eris lightning rom, so far this is the only problem.
Any help is appreciated.
If you need more info just ask. Thanks

[Q] wifi connected but can not connect

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.

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.

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] CM7 3G/WIFI Issues

Hello all, I came from Com Rom 2.1... last week I did an Odin back to DL09 with the PIT repartition. I wiped data, cache, and dalvik. Then flashed the 7/18 CM7 build. I love the ROM and it has been working great except two pretty big issues...
1) My 3G has been really intermittent and I find that I no longer get 3G in spots where I used to. Sometimes the 3G will work but a lot of the time it will simply not respond or my data will switch into 1X mode. I did not have this issues prior to flashing CM7. I can no longer stream Pandora or Spotify in most areas now.
2) My wifi has not worked since flashing CM7. I go to connect to my wifi and get stuck on "Obtaining IP Address". Never had this issue before. Tried FXR Wifi fix and rescue but had no luck.
Any ideas on how to go about fixing my 3G and Wifi? I appreciate it!
Use the latest build of CM7 (build 3)
Refer to: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1190668
This, however, have some issues with the signal bar animations. That is, you appear to have 0 bars but you really have signal.
If that doesn't work start from scratch or read up on this guide on how to switch from comROM to cm7 http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1155477
Good luck

I too am happily on CM7, and suffering intermittent 3G. My wifi is fine. Where does reflashing the ROM come in vs the phone activation fix described elsewhere? I was going to activate another smartphone that is lying around, then reactivate the Fascinate, to see if this helps.
i too am having the same issues, but if i flash cm7 from scratch i get 3g and all other types of mobile data work great but like above when i try to connect to wifi it loops on obtaining ip address, if i then flash the DHCP fix that came with the rom (along with hotfix001 and hotfix002) i can connect to wifi no problem but after several minutes my mobile data decides to vanish and is unable to connect, so is it one or the other? has anyone found a fix for this or am i doing something wrong??
thanks in advance

[Q] CM7 Thunderbolt Tethering not working

Hello XDA Developers,
I have an HTC thunderbolt, I'm running Cm7.1, the newest release that came out yesterday. My issue is that wifi or USB tethering do not work. Whether I connect usb tethering and enable the feature from the phone, or enable wifi tethering and connect through my laptop, the network connects, but then says no internet access and/or limited or no connectivity. My laptop connects to wifi internet fine.
I've had this problem for every iteration of CM7 for thunderbolt since June. Before moving to CM7, i remember trying tethering once or twice and it did not work. I've just decided now to try and get tethering working.
I've tried using the wi-fi tether app from code.google.com/p/android-wifi-tether/downloads/list as well as barnacle wifi tether, both have the same problem.
My main questions would be:
1. Is there any reason I have overlooked as to why tethering does not work on my phone? Is there some new verizon block to tethering for root users? Are there any settings I could try to get this working?
2. Are there any known issues with CM7 and thunderbolt tethering?
3. It seems weird if it was a hardware issue since my laptop does actually connect to the phone, it just has no network connectivity.
Thanks!
I had a similar issue and fixed it by downloading the open garden wifi tethering app https://market.android.com/details?id=og.android.tether and changing the network to open on that app as well as the built in cm7 app. Then enable both apps and it should connect. Did for me.

Newest release came out about 20 minutes prior to your post CM7.1.1...check the rootz thread.
I've seen reports of this before. If memory recalls correctly, the devices weren't acquiring an IP correctly. Once you have it tethered, on the laptop/device try releasing and renewing your IP or disabling/enabling the adapter.
You are not the only person having this problem. I'm having this problem too and have not found a fix for it yet. I've found a pattern though, any ROM that I've loaded that was a build or based off of CM7, had the tethering problem. And as stated above, the problem about not acquiring and ip correctly is exactly what's happening.
Hopefully a dev or someone else can come along help resolve this problem. Apparently this problem is not very widespread as it seems that very few peeple have this problem.
Thank you everyone for your help.
keith.mcintyre26, I tried your suggestion of open garden wifi app, and it worked perfectly, just installed it and it worked. CM7 wifi tether still does not work though.

I tried the app as well and It didn't work I am in a tricky area when it comes to data coverage though so I can't help but think that might be it? Unrelated: Sometimes I lose data coverage altogether (drops out, comes back, drops out, etc) when I'm in 4G coverage areas. Maybe the two are related,

I know this is not the problem where I live as I'm in full signal.
I just got onto this ROM, after being on BAMF Forever, forever, and LOVE IT. My only complaint and possibly a show-stopper -- Wi-Fi Tether doesn't work, and neither does the built-in tether app.
I've done a complete wipe. The client connects, but doesn't DHCP.
Any ideas?

Quick update -- Open Garden works...
Strange... But I guess I'm all set
I had/have the same problem with cm7 and bamf1.86. I finally got cm7 tether last night using barnacle, but it was at .3 mbs. I have yet to top 1mbs. That was with 4g(or so it said.) I have tried the included wifi tether, usb tether, barnacle, and open garden. Nothing works properly on either rom. Signal was between -80 and at worst -90.
Sent from my ADR6400L using Tapatalk
Seems to be a common issue across newer roms lately for wifi tether.
I got mine fixed by downloading the newest experimental build.
Once installed go into settings, Check Disable wake lock, check wifi driver reload, also check routing fix. Furthermore, make sure you select the proper device, should be the first option once you open settings.

[Q] Data call failure

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?

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!

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.
