i have rooted my vibrant and flashed with Ginger_Clone_Final_R2. i flashed it with that last night everything worked great wifi messaging calling everything. When i got home today and tried connecting my phone to wifi the router came up and all it kept saying was "obtaining ip adress". Any have any suggestions?
Note: My xbox360 and laptop will both connect to the router.

Same, it worked 6 hours earlier and when I came back to school it won't connect I tried alot of things to fix but I couldn't so I used another rom, that fixed it got me
obtain ip fix?
I ran into this issue today while updating my T mobile vibrant . I attempted to find various work a rounds . I saw one blaming the kernel , one blaming the dhcp list which does not exist for me. In the end I just used a massively complex sequence of tricks that may leave you stupefied by the sheer complexity . I changed my routers name . I figured if the problem was from something using old data about my router that i can not find. Why not change it's name so it thinks it is a different router ? This worked flawless for me and a few others . It may for someone else too so i posted about it . Thats what the forums are for .
Later .
Have you guys rebooted the phone?.
That should clear the IP address from the phone.
If the router does not have any issues with other devices, maybe is something wrong with the rom. Maybe you should look for more info in the rom's thread

Hey guys..
WiFi was working for me at first, but now my phone pretends like it doesn't even have WiFi. Any way to fix this without reflashing/hard resetting my phone? I tried the uninstallation of WMWiFiRouter, and it still didn't help. Can I somehow revert back to a different driver without having to start over again? Thanks!
can you elaborate on teh issue a little bit? im also having a wifi problem, but havent found many others with the same issue. i want to know if yours is the same.
sounds like a wmwifirouter issue to me.
i dont think so. i have removed wmwifirouter from mine and still have the problem. it works once in a while, specifically after a soft reset.
I don't know what else to say. Turning on the WiFi switch does nothing, pressing the WiFi in Comm Manager does nothing, and I no longer have WiFi under Connections. I see Wireless LAN, but not WiFi. My Wireless Today Plug-In only shows Bluetooth and not WiFi anymore.
All in all, I guess it seems like my phone doesn't realize that I have WiFi.
I just upgraded to DCD 3.0.1 yesterday.
WiFi is still working for me (WPA-PSK, AES encryption). I'll test at work tomorrow.

I've never used WiFi Router and I get the issue on soft resets and usually when I someplace where coverage is spotty.
I seem to be having an opposite problem. My WiFi randomly activates while I am in a call.

ive seen that thread, and that problem, but mine at least, is different. ive done extensive testing and my problem doesnt ahve anything to do with wmwifirouter. the problem started before i ever installed it. and its not that it doesnt work, it just works sporatically. usually after a soft reset, its ok. until i turn off the wifi switch, or push the power button. then its like theres no networks...but there definitely are. i thought the problem was specific to me, but now that im seeing other people with the problem im starting to neglect my previous theories that only pertained to my situation, in favor of no explanation.
just wondering. the other people with wifi problems. what carriers are you guys?
im on vzw
thanks
Happens on my Sprint Mogul, and I have tried that fix in the thread.
Im on Sprint and I keep having the same problem with my wifi.... this all began when i upgraded to the 2.2.6 rom i believe. I used to not be able to get wifi, then after a few days it would suddenly read my network but it wouldnt connect. now after upgrading to 3.0.1 it reads the network fine but it and tries to connect but either it disconnects instantly after it connects or it never connects.
Ive never had wmwrouter installed and my network connection security is WEP 128.
Any ideas?
wifi problem
I have the exact same problem with my phone...started about a month ago. Upgrade to new rom (from 2.17) didn't fix it....
sorry you guys are having problems, but i am a little relieved to see that other people are having the same problem as i am.
my one question, is are you guys sporadically seeing the wifi work fine. mine does, usually after a soft reset for a little while sometimes, but once it "clicks off" it is gone until after a soft reset.
thanks
I have the wifi issue as well. I am running DCD's 3.0.1 ROM. I also have the WMWifiRouter program installed. In my case, the WMWifirouter program would run and my laptop will pick it up but then I can't connect to it. It also seems sporadic. My laptop will show full signal of the program then when I hit refresh the signal will disappear. With the wifi switch, when I turn it on the wifi icon at the top comes on and act as if it is searching for wifi signal but it would never connect to anything. Even when I am in a wifi hotspot my phone would not pick anything up at all. *NOTE: Even before I upgraded my ROM, I started to have wifi problems on my stock 2.08 sprint ROM.
yea it sporadically works for a short period of time but once it disconnects it won't work again.
Sometimes it finds the wireless network and sometimes it wont find anything. Its kinda random.
Since I was having an issue for GPS to take a while to lock on on top of this WiFi issue, I just decided to flash the stock Sprint ROM 3.35 and then reflash DCD 3.0.1. Everything is working beautifully now.
it is this app
ok then test it on a phone that has had it an another one that has not! remember that once its on there you will find that it may never go away even if you flash, i been ther buddy
dont for get to change the routers name so you don't be dumb about it mmmkkaaayy.

WI-FI Issue
Are you connected to your PC while trying the WI-FI?
Hello everyone
I have a Galaxy 2, everything worked great, and one minute for no reason WIFI stopped working, I mean when I turn on the WIFI device starts scanning the network, the scan takes about 20 seconds (of course, no network is) and then the WIFI is turning off by himself.
Besides, everything works, BT,GPS ,also I can get and receive calls correctly.
I Changed for several versions of the modem, dozens of times ,I tried HARD RESET RECOVERY way -- nothing works.
my current state as a pic below
I'd like to accept any idea and help
Thanks all

i also tried other rom - the same
i took my phone to local lab, they also did not find the problem ,
any suggestion ?

Hi there porusski!
The best thing to do is to take your phone to your seller, Galaxy S2 has a two year warranty. They should fix it or replace your phone, it shouldn't take more than 10 days.

Do you have a Netgear router by any chance, cos they suck balls, and as a general rule, will not connect properly to an Android device.

Hello guy's,
I took my phone to the carrier and after lab check they told me that wifi module is move physically on the board -- they say that reason is bad flashing of rom or modem... Does it make sense to someone?? Because i flash just one time in day when i by the phone - and it was work perfect 3 weeks....
wifi module moved physically??
im having the same issue here, will be sending it back to the seller soon
tried almost everything possible solution, nothing works..

Yes, you believe that crap? Their answer was not credible, there is no chance to move physically

I was previously using a Huawei router. It kept disconnecting from the internet, so I changed it over to a Netgear DGN3500. I've had nothing but problems connecting the Galaxy S2 to the router over wifi. Keeps going between one bar and no bars, and disconnecting, even I'm not that far away from the router. In order to get 3 bars and a good signal I have to be directly next to the router.
Same issue here
Hi all,
I have the exact same issue, also tried wiping everything and switching rom/kernel/modem, also tried restoring to a nandroid when everything worked perfectly and still wifi doesn't work. I noticed that the wifi services are not running also.
It stopped working gradually after working great for a long time, sometimes I was able to connect sometimes don't, until it stopped working at all.
Do you have any updates on your situation?
Interesting. I seem to be having the same issue. I can connect to the router fine but it wont let me browse or download anything. 3G is working fine.
I will try and swap ROM (again) to see if it solves.
SOLVED
Turns out it was a hardware issue - 2 resistors needed to be replaced

where did you get done?? Im also having the same problem and im frustrated.. pls give me some suggestions...
This is a problems I'm having now with my GS2 and ICS(current is Bezke rom and Pure rom prior to that). Both of these ICS roms exhibit the same problem, it will see the wifi spot (its a Apple time machine and the connection uses WPA protection), it just won't connect to it.... EVER. The router is also just in the next room, so it has a perfect strong signal.
I did not have a problem before the ICS upgrade, it connected to the wifi spot just fine. As far as I'm concerned this is NOT a hardware problem but in software. I have had this issue with MANY MANY other high end android phones (I go through a lot), so much so that I got a 2nd router and run it open just for my android phones. I've tried utilities that "reset" the phone settings to help connect (not sure what that means, maybe like a DNS flush or ipconfig release/renew kind of deal...) but they never work.
Ive searched online for this issue and apparently thousands of others have had this same issue, but I don't remember seeing any talk of what exactly the problem is, or what to fix it (aside from flashing another rom). I would rather not be flashing every rom under the sun until I finally get it working, but I might just have to.
I really like this phone (I also have a 4S but don't use it because I like this Samsung so much) and plan on keeping this a while. Its a GT-I9100 BTW and not a carrier branded device, I have it on T-Mobile US.
I'm probably going to try the official Sammy rom next and see what happens. FWIW my last phone that had this problem was a Optimus 3D and it was running STOCK F/W and still would not connect. C'MON GOOGLE! WTF, This is a problem, can we PLEASE get it fixed
Can i take it that you have tried connecting with no security setup on the WiFi router first .
jje
Same problem here. Just upgraded two S2's at work. Went thru the process to 2.3.4 and 2.3.5 and once in 4.0.3 neither of them worked using our cisco wifi. Remember having the same problem on the old HTC Hero, but the Desire and the Sensation (both 2.3.5 and 4.0.3) works fine, as do iPhones and some tablets.
Problem must lie within the S2 since we have loads of computers and other phones connected. Have tried static settings instead of dhcp but the setup on the phone is quite limited.
Same here
9.5-9.7 Resurrection ICS based on XXLPH/XXLPJ won't connect to wpa2 secured University wifi. I've tried the official XXLPQ by Samsung and everything works like a charm.
It installed the XXLPQ so that is a no go. Tried connecting to a htc sensation hotspot and that worked. They just don't want to connect to the Cisco.
Encryption requres screen lock
I'm on campus Wi-Fi a lot. apparently "credential storage" used on these enterprise networks can only be used when you have a screen lock pin code set up
Does that help?
trying to find a way around it myself, I dont want to have to type a pin in every time I pick up my phone when I'm sitting in my apartment streaming pandora.
Sorry I forgot to reply back, but I ended up "cheating" and getting another router SPECIFICALLY for my android devices that dont like wifi security. I got a coupon in the mail for a free wifi router (N too!), its pretty low end but hey, it works.
Sure thats not really fixing the issue with the phone, but Ive gotten to the point of so much frustration, if I try any further to fix the phone and fail I'll either end up destroying the thing, turning to drugs or both.
Sadly, that last sentence was not hyperbole, Im serious. HOWEVER the phone is working, so all is well here
Hi, I have had my amaze since it first came out. Just about 2 months ago, I am having a problem connecting to my home WiFi. I used to be able to connect no problem. I connect at work just fine. I have searched many times for a fix, and none have worked so far (From what I found, that is) I am S-Off and Running NRGZ28 4.0.3 rom with Faux Kernel 31. Any help or suggestions would be greatly appreciated. I am hitting my 5GB data cap in about 2 weeks now that I cant use my home WiFi Thanks!

Ok, so I went back to complete stock and still can't connect at home. I was able to connect at the gym today and at work as usual. I have no idea whats going on.
Are you sure it's your phone that's causing the problem??
Does Wi-Fi work fine on your computer connected at home?
That can explain the source of the problem. If it's a home problem, call your Internet Service Provider (ISP).

Seems like your router problem.Try if you have accidentally disabled wlan in your router settings..Or reset your router
solved
So I figured out the problem. Apparently someone that uses our main computer somehow banned my Mac address from my cell phone. I never thought about that till this morning. Every other computer and device worked normally so I didn't think about security. Anyways, thanks all for the input. That's why this forum is so great.

Did you try the new super Sense rom yet?
It has aroma installer now, and wifi calling is fixed. It also has adblocking pre-configured and it's cool.

I suddenly had a wifi problem. It happened around two weeks ago. I suddenly was not able to connect to my home wifi when I was more than 2 or 3 meter away from my router.
I've had my S3 for a little over two years now. I upgraded to 4.3 early this year. All updates were done OTA here in the Philippines. But this just suddenly happened last week. There were no updates and I can't remember ever downloading a new app that may have caused this.
I have tried absolutely everything:
1. Tried flashing new modems and kernels.
2. Tried flashing CM11 then wifi fix patch - didn't work. I flashed boeffla kernel - it just made it worse, I could connect when I was near the router but couldn't use the internet - it just showed wifi was connected but with slow or no internet.
3. I tried flashing back to stock rom and even updating with kies but still the same problem.
4. I flashed Android Revolution HD v52. Tried different modems on it. Flashed wifi fix. This still didn't work so I tried boeffla again. No luck.
5. I tried the murata fix through terminal emulator and still didn't fix it.
Right now I'm running on Android Rev HD v52. I'm still hoping someone has a way to fix this.
I don't know what to do anymore.
Can anyone help me, please??

If you really tried so much things, maybe your hardware is damaged, the wlan adapter in your smartphone or something
I had a similar thing yesterday, on stock 4.3. It started with the unstable internet messages for a week or so. Then yesterday, it would connect to wifi, but apps saw no internet. Cleaning cache did nothing, forgetting and reacquiring wifi did nothing. Factory reset did nothing. Flashing a different 4.3 did noting. Rolled back to 4.2.2, which used to work fine, and still had the problem. I had given up at this point, figuring it was a hardware problem. Flashed 4.3 again, and miraculously it started working again.
I am really getting pretty fed up with Samsung at this point.
