Hello guys,
As you can see from the thread's title my phone can conect to any WiFi router(in WiFi menu it says it's conected) but Market doesn't work and my browser(Dolphin and stock browser too) says that "Tha page is unavailable". I also tried other internet using applications, none of them works.
But they all work when I enable 3G. So the problem is only with WiFi.
I'm on mik's CM7 v6.5.7 with franco,Kernel 19.4.
I did a data wipe, then reflashed all the stuff and the problem didn't solve. I also tried fserve's gbs v15 kernel.
Any ideas? I am sorry if this is a NOOb question, I've benn searching the answer for three days and didn't find anything...
EDIT: The problem is not the router. I tried to conect to the internet at severeal places: resataurants, caffes and public hotspot and none of the internet using apps does work.
Dumb questions first.
Can anything else connect to the internet through the router? ie is the router connected to the internet?
Can you access files on a server attached to the router, using an app like ES File Explorer?
Pfff....

Password needed to connect probably or something like that. Or, the device connect to the router, but it got have permission from the router owner to use bandwidth.

All the WiFI networks were OPEN, so none of them needed password. And my phone says that it's conected(the wifi icon on the statusbar shows this too) . Do you think that in a restaurant you aren't allowed by the router owner to use the WiFi network's bandwidth? That would be really funny.
Slightly less dumb question next
Have you tried using something like Wifi Connect to log onto the wifi, so that you can access the wider internet? My phone shows lots of "open" wifi downtown, but I still need to connect (log in) to use them.
I must admit, I'm a NOOB...
I didn't try that, I don't even know what it is.I think there is a misunderstanding. I don't have a router at home, I only tried at public hotspots and some restaurants, so I wasn't able to se or customize the routers.
EDIT: Oh, I know what you are talking about.
There wasn't any site on which was written I should log in to ise that network. It should have worked without that.
Wifi Connect is an app - download from the market and see if it helps you out
OK, I will try it tomorrow, since now I'm not able to do it. Thank you in advance.

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.

When I try to share my mobile data connection to laptop, my laptop can't access internet.
No matter if I use USB or Wifi connection.
Everything seems to be ok, as far as settings are conserned.
Computer recognises and connects ok to the wifi hotspot or usb connection, but can't access internet.
I've tried stock rooted/unrooted and foxhound roms without luck.
Old SGS2 can share net without a problem in sight on every custom rom I've tried. I really need my "lifeline" to work with this phone.
Suggestions anyone?
[ My operator tele-finland sent 2 settings files: internet and wap. Problem was, that the WAP settongs went as default APN... ]
Edit: I've tried Foxfi app with no luck. Seems like there is a signifigant problem with my phone settings conserning mobile data, sice foxfi couldn't verify my internet connection and facebook doesn't automatically update status and youtube app can't load a single video to display...

Nice app, though it has trial quota and USB tethering only.
But one slight problem... still no internet connection.
Is the only way to (totally) reset mobile data operator settings by making factory reset/full wipe?:crying:

I used to have the exact same problem. However mine got fixed by editing the APN. Try clearing out the 'authentication type' and 'apn type' fields.
Thank you circuit89! My operator had sent me two setrings, internet and wap... Guess which one was chosen as default
Solution was to change default APN to internet from that obsolete WAP
I have searched the forums and google for an answer to this but haven't been able to find anything.
What I'm trying to do is use my computers internet for my phone, and then broadcast it out. I've downloaded and used successfully the xda Android Reverse Tethering .exe and it's worked wonderfully. But the thing is I want to be able to use it in conjuction with a wifi tether app from my Samsung Galaxy S. My phone is rooted.
The purpose of this is to get internet connection on my PSP Vita. All of the internet in my house is wired, I don't own a wifi router nor do I want one. I live in a building where finding wifi passwords is easy for everyone as we all have the same general field of work, but no one near me has wifi.
What I've tried so far is using the xda Reverser Tether program with Barnacle Wifi Tether, Open Garden WiFi, and WiFi Tether. All apps I've downloaded from the marketplace. They work well at broadcasting my cell signal for use as Wifi, but none of them have been able to use the internet being sent from my phone.
In short what I'm looking for, or even if it exists, is a way to transfer my hard wired internet through my computer to my phone and subsequently the cellphones ability to act as a Wifi router.

Edit: *bump* I have removed it
check my threads
That looks close, but how could I use that, and then have my phone broadcast my internets computer through it's Wifi?
Hi ,
Use virtual router software in your pc and turn on pc and phones wifi.and connect to pcs wifi connection.if you have confusion try virtual router in google. i got succeeded in this but i dont have any link to give you.
If i helped press thanks.
This sounds like something that might do it. I have it downloaded but it's not doing anything. What were the steps you got to make it work for you?
Well, I was able to get it to work using redankaiahu's advice. The only thing is I had to go out and buy a usb-wifi adapter instead of using my phone like I would've liked. Oh well.
I know this really doesn't belong here, but did u know that if u get a router, u can actually change the frequency channel on it? Which means , no ones pc will pickup on the channel unless they adjust from their own pc's and know what channel u changed to.

Hope someone can help with this: rooted the other day using the htc unlocker method. so s-on with root and still stock rom..have not changed anything other than install busybox. no other changes. have not even gotten to flashing roms yet. So the phone will not recognize my home towifi. when it scans for networks, it sees everybody (neighbors) but mine as being in range (even tho i am sitting next to it). at one point i finally got it to connect yesterday, but then when i went to work it never disconnected and returned to 3g, so when i went to use my internet for something it said it was still connected, when in fact it wasn't. so no data and no 3g. I had to physically turn off wifi to get the phone to be able to connect to 3g. now i am back home, it will not connect again. the phone does not see my network as being "in range", therefore will not connect.
I have several other devices that connect to the network just fine (like my laptop I am typing on).
any ideas would be greatly appreciated.
There's an app called WiFi analyzer and WiFi manager available on the play store. Idk y it isn't connecting to your WiFi now when it did before, but maybe one of these 2 apps can help.
WiFi analyzer will tell u what channels thw other WiFi networks are on in your area. It could be an issue of interference. It will also tell u the best channel to put your WiFi on to avoid that interference.
Do u have best WiFi performance on in settings-WiFi? Turn it off/on see if it makes a difference. Off is optimal since it kills batteries.
WiFi manager helped my phone recognize and connect to open networks quicker than stock settings did. Maybe try that as well.
Is your connection password secured? WPA/WPA2, WPK? Is it a linksys router? Try making a static ip for your phone. My phone would never connect at work on an open network until I made it a static ip. Or it would connect and never send data.
Actually, try that first, I forgot about that. If its an older linksys router that's probably what it is.

I will try some of those things, but I don't think that is it. whatever is wrong is coming from root. everything was fine before that. and i don't know anything about setting up a static ip. not a linksys, btw.

Root doesn't have anything to do with your WiFi. It is highly unlikely anyways. Google how to set up static ip. U can do it right from your phone.
Your router doesn't show up at all or does is try to connect and nothing? Mine tried to connect and nothing. To set up a static ip your phone needs to at least see the router.
If you're rooted are u s-off? Either way, try installing a rom of your choice and doing a full wipe to clear out whatever is causing the issue. Maybe try installing new radios/firmware. RUU to newest ota version.
Good luck!

downloaded wifi analyzer, but that doesn't really help me figure out why the wifi will not connect or disconnect properly. As stated in my original post I am rooted, s-on, with unlocked bootloader htc method. this problem is almost exactly the same problem i had my samsung s2 when it first came out. the radio would not wake up after sleeping and the wifi radio was all messed up. In exactly the same way..
once it connects it is ok, but when i leave the house it never disconnects! so when i go out, it does not switch over to the 3g radio, and at that point i have to TURN OFF wifi. When I come back in the house then i have to go through another long process of trying to get it to connect to my wifi again. I did not change ANYTHING after rooting. So it has got to be related to that somehow....it just says. "MWOI0 not in range", but yet it will show 5 others in the neighborhood as being available (all secured like mine).
Does your regular computer/laptop connect to your wifi?
Have you rebooted your router/modem?
We had a power outage/surge one day and the computers connected still had connection, but the items which were disconected (phones left house for work) would not reconnect.
I know it sounds simple, but we spent half an hour figuring out why some devices had wifi and some didn't.
You are seeing neighbors wifi's, that's why I suggest this.
I also noticed this other thread, maybe related,
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1691189
There's an app called tasker in play store that allows u to turn on/off wifi by location automatically. It costs a pretty penny, but definitely worth it. The possibilities are exponential with that app.
Look into setting a static ip & change the channel on your router. Give u advice and u don't want to try it. Do u really want it fixed or is it just an annoyance u like to complain about?
Static ip worked for my phone in a similar situation. Up to u to implement the fixes.
My phone is HTC 620G but I think its not important because I've factory reset it and it didnt help. The problem is I'm connected to wifi but I can't access to internet. Sometimes I can but its way too slow, way way slow so as I said I formatted the phone but it didnt help. Waiting for your help
edit: I dont have any problems at other devices like laptop or phones but my phone...
edit2:When I connected to wifi near any device, the other devices internet connection got lost, its been so annoying i wanna get rid of this issue immediately
2.4 or 5ghz? What encryption ie wpa wep open? Can other devices connect to the wifi? Is the channel congested?
Edit I see you edited!

Yeah there isnt any problem with other devices, btw i forgot the wifi on my phone, rebooted both phone and modem and it was perfect for a moment,then it goes back and its bad now, its 2.4,wpa/wpa2 i guess and i already tried digferent channels
Have you tried going to maccas or wherever is a free wifi near you and seeing if the phone can connect to something other than your router?

I realised something now, i entered my gmail account on laptop and it sent my phone a notification, when i opened it I saw that one of my last connected location is Ireland. I didnt download any vpn apps so why is this saying that?
You might want to check the router settings. Some routers have a default limit on how many devices can be connected at once. It sounds like either that or IP address conflicts.

It could be about ip address because there isn't so much device, so what should I do? And I think it could be about dns settings, I tried something for that but couldn't solve it
