so i was at the Borders bookstore yesterday connecting through wifi. I download a program from the Market that I believe was called Wifi Status. I installed it and then removed it. Then all of a sudden my wifi doesn't work anymore.
Do I just need to install this program again to get it working? The weird thing is, it shows that I am connected to my router at home now, but when I try to use the web to connect to wifi...it says I have no network connect. Please help!
I just realized I can't just go to androidzoom.com to download any programs to my computer and install it on my phone through a USB cable. Some people help!
I'm not sure quite what is going on here, but did you reboot your phone to see if that fixes it?
My wifi stopped working once I hard reset and poof its normal again lol

Ok so heres my dilemma. I figured I would test out tethering and see what my speeds are. So I connected my TP to my computer and selected the "Tethering" option when it showed up on my phone and thought, ok this should be easy. It connected to my computer, so i disabled my current wireless connection thinking my phones connection would automatically take over. But i was wrong, as a matter of fact nothing happened. When i checked my network settings, it told me i was connected with limited or no internet. Huh? Really? did i do something wrong? When you select tethering from the popup screen does it automatically run the Internet Sharing app?
So now i tried unplugging and replugging my phone back in and now that little popup screen doesnt even show up. Activesync doesnt connect, but i figured you couldnt run activesync and tethering at the same time. But now even worse is when i go to the Internet Sharing app and hit connect, it doesnt connect, it just says "Check usb Cable". As im doing all of this i have network connections up on my computer, watching to see if anything changes. So here i am in the internet sharing app and i hit connect, it says check usb cable, so i hit disconnect and right when i hit disconnect, it shows that im connected on my pc. ????? But even still when i try to surf the web it doesnt work. IDK what i/i'm did/doing wrong.
I like the popup screen when i connect my device to pc and would like to get that back if possible. Can someone please shed some light on 1.How to Tether 2. How to get the popup screen back (even though in all settings->connections->usb to pc->"ask about connection type when i connect" IS checked)
Tried a soft reset to see if that would change anything, but nothing changed.
Unplug your connections to your computer.
don't disable them.
If it is wireless, turn it off, don't disable.
I cannot share my connection while plugged into the network.

Lets break this down a little bit. First of all who is your carrier? Also, do you have the tethering option on your plan? (not that its completely necessary)
From there we can figure out the next step.
tethering
what about PDANET? I used it on my 6700.

Here you go. Install both cabs, reset the device, and go into Programs and start ICSShrUi. You'll be able to tether no problem. Ive been doing so I received my Verizon TP on Tuesday.
I received my 16g 101 today and while I did read about some phones having an issue tethering.
EDIT:: I solved my wifi issue but the phone problem persists
I currently have a htc tilt 2 running EnergyRom and have used its wifi router and usb tethering to connect to the net with numerous net/note books and even my own pc when they serviced the lines out here and I had no internet. But nomatter what I try weather it be tethering via BT or USB even after entering all the APN info manually it wont connect. Wont even find the phone with wifi when I try using it as a wireless router, says its out of range if I enter info manually.
Sorry for any horrid grammer iv allready taken my sleeping pill but refuse to goto bed before I solve this.
Hi i went from stock ics on my ray to cm9 by followingnexact step by step guide provided by cm9. Used their kernel as well. Have never modded my phone before. Having a small problem with wifi though. After my phone has been asleep for a while, if i wake it up the wifi icon in status bar is no longer blue its a dark grey and i can no longer browse anything or use the internet. Ive tried rebooting. I did the whole wipe cache etc when installing cm9. In wifi settings in advanced ive also left the setting to "leave wifi on when sleep" checked. If i turn off and on the wifi connection the phone ofcourse is able to reconnect again the icon is blue and i can connect. It not jsut a one off thing its been happening since i isntalled the rom.
If i wakek from sleep a few minutes later i have no issue with wifi. Its only when its been sleep for a while do i have this issue.
Any solutions?
I have the exact same problem but for me it's even bigger, whenever i turn on wifi on my modem, i can connect to internet on my phone, but after awhile i lose my connection completely, on my phone and on my pc also, the only way to get it back is to reset my router and wait for like 5-10minutes...

If its also an issue with your. Pc then your issue might be also the router.
My other devices actually work fine in my case its oky this phone that has issues. Macbook iphone ipad nexus s no problems with those.
Same issue here. I can see available networks but unable to connect. There should be no problem with the wifi router as all my other devices work well and I have tried another router. Now I have to flash back to stock firmware.

Your issue seems more severe than mine. Mine actually connects and works, just that when it wakes from long sleep it wont work until i turn off and on wifi.
I get this problem too, but my problem even worse than yours. My wifi lose it's connection after a while, but the icon on status bar shows it's connected, running ping test, browse, even play store can't be accessed. I pinged the router and got unreachable.
And yeah, this problem occurs when I'm using all ICS based rom..
Anybody has any idea if this is a known problem, or if its just us few having thisissue?

I have same problem. I have SE xperia mini with CM9. WiFi worked fine until yesterday. Now phone can't connect to AP (full signal - try connect -> signal drops down), but sharing 3G internet over WiFi works fine. I cleared dalvik cache, but that didn't help.
Hi,
I have a year old factory unlocked S2 which was working fine till this morning. All of a sudden, I see that even though the WiFi shows as connected, there is no internet connection. I restarted it quite a few times but to no avail. The software is up to date and I have not done anything fancy with it ever. No rooting, nothing...
Can anyone please help? My other devices are connecting to the same wifi and working fine...includes my windows laptop, mac, iphone and ipad...

I tried it, in fact removed all the known wi fi networks, then shut down phone then connected back to the wifi... even then, no internet... the small green arrow near the wifi symbol shows that data is being sent, but the orange arrow that signifies that data is being downloaded/received hardly lights up...
chrome does not open the page, foursquare does not connect, even the default accuweather app does not refresh... any idea?
Just a thought, is your Wifi router connected to the internet? Connectivity issues?
If you can afford it, try doing a factory reset. Also try connecting to some other router. If it was working till morning, and the phone didn't fell down/experience damages, I don't get why it stopped working all of a sudden.

Thanks Sikander... at the end, I think I will try a factory reset.. for nothing else is working...the phone has never been dropped :fingers-crossed:
but like I said, all my other devices are also connected to wifi and they are working perfectly so I would not think that it is a problem with the router...
thanks again... but pls let me know if you think that anything else might help
Just a couple of days back I was able to connect my phone to the laptop and easily turn on the USB tethering to share the Internet access with the laptop. But all of a sudden it has stopped working. When I connect the phone and try to turn it on now, it will flick to the on state for a second and then get turned off again.
Other phones are working fine. So it's the phone that has the problem. Not the laptop.
Please help!
