I really need some help with my wifi issues on my tab. I am tethering from my Thunderbolt and as you can see in the picture, my signal strength is as good as it can get. However, the websites are not loading at the time of the picture, the weather will not refresh and my words with friends won't update. All of this is sporadic. After I took the screenshot I went right back and hit refresh on the browser and it worked.
Here's a good example; just a few minutes ago I downloaded Swiftkey from the Amazon appstore and no sooner had it downloaded and installed when I went to the browser and when it was trying to load the homepage of Google it tells me there's no connection when I have full signal strength. Also, what do the colors of the wifi signal bars mean? Sometimes they're gray and other times blue. But I can't see a direct connection between working data and error messages. Sometimes gray works and sometimes it doesn't, same way with the blue bars.
Basically, I am connected to wifi and the data connection comes and goes in a matter of seconds. Last night it worked for an hour or two no problem. It's not my tethering because I updated the app, reverted back to what I had before and even tried another release. My Acer A500, my girlfriend's iphone and ipad, and my ps3 all connect to the network and have no problems. I know it's my tab, I just don't know how to fix it.
I even tried replacing the wpasuplicant, it makes no difference with or without the new one so I just chnaged it back. Plus, the tab has no problem seeing and recognizing the phone's network; it just connects and stops working. It doesn't even tell me I'm disconnected, it shows me being connected even when it doesn't work.
I'm stumped guys, this shouldn't be so difficult. I really like the tab, and I don't want to have to get rid of it. I find it strange that no one else (that I've seen anyways, forgive me if I've missed it) is having this problem. I have seen wifi issues listed on here about not being able to connect, but not dropping out like mine.
Sorry for writing a book, any help is appreciated.
When you're tethering from your phone to your tab, since they are close, the signal between them is strong. This doesn't mean that the 3g speeds that you're getting from the provider to your phone is fast. You're phone might be dropping it's 3g signal. You'll never know it by looking at your tab because as far as it knows, it has a full connection to your phone's wifi.
That's true, I'll keep an eye on it. Right now I have full bars on the phone and it's working fine. But earlier I can't say because I wasn't looking for that.
**EDIT** Nope, that's not it either. It was working for a while and I thought it might be. But now I have full bars of 3G coverage and it says on the tab browser "Data connectivity problem" and "The connection to the server timed out."
I should also mention that I've been tethering from the TB for months and never had an issue with a device getting wifi from it. So that's why I'm so quick to dismiss the phone as the problem.
Do you see the same behavior when connecting to other wifi networks? If so that would eliminate your phone as the issue, and point to either a software or hardware issue on the tab. If you can't... probably the phone.

In 20-30 years time we'll all be cancer ridden because of the wi-fi radioation. Too bad, suckers...
HTC does not allow wi-fi tethering from their phones unless it is through your carrier. You have to use Foxfi app and use the bluetooth tether option.
Router information: Linksys Wireless-N WRT120N
I have done everything that i could think of to get this working. i have done several google searches and they all say to do specific things.
For example:
-Reset router
-Enable B/G only or G only set at channel 11
-turn off router firewall settings
-and a bunch of other random sh*t
i have done all of the above then some and i still cant get it to connect. all i get is *scanning* then *disconnected* thats the only two things it says. except right after i reset the router. every time i reset the router i get * obtaining IP yadadada* then goes to *disconnected* then back to the "scanning, disconnected" loop.
there have been some people that have said flashing a custom firmware on the router would fix the issue with mobile connectivity on Wireless-N routers.
please someone be helpful with this and please dont tell me i need to reset my router. i have asked this same question on several forums and the only replies i get are "if you reset the router and turn off security it WILL work fine" thats bull****. im not an idiot. thats the first step any computer literate person would take before asking questions.
**Update: same as from General thread. i had to repost because it was closed for some reason there. also here are the answers to the other two guys to responded.
"not standing close enough" -i have been standing next to it. i have yet to test it more than 10 feet away lol so it cant be there
"flash another rom or reflash current rom" -it has nothing to do with my rom, kernal, or radio. this issue is also happening on my girlfriends xperia running Wolfxperia and mine is the blackeditionHDv2. its also an issue with her sisters xperia. hers is still stock 2.2(i think). their stepdad has an iphone and it wont connect with that either. from what ive gathered... its a mobile issue. i know all these phones say (b or g only) but even setting the router to broadcast in b/g it still wont connect. it notices the routers name with full strength on all devices. also i might add that their laptop is an older laptop. does not support N but still can connect to the router and have internet.
Same here. Xperia mini x10 pro. When on it says connecting even thought I nothing appear visible.

as for me it just started, before that when i was at col i was able to watsapp as usual, the phone is currently not with me but when i get i will post some ss for you to see.

Here are the ss
any idea on how i can solve this?
I'm guessing this is an ip issue. The mobile devices are not able to get one. This usually happens to me on a public network and I even get a " limited or no connectivity".
The work around I do is to assign a static ip on my phone. Its very simple to do and if you need help doing it, let me know.
There's no clear explanation I can tell you, but it seems some mobile devices have a hard time pulling ip's from different types of routers. Hope this helps.

Will ask my gf to give it a try. It happened so abruptly, it was working fine when she was at col then when she came back it won't detect any wifi, whether it's her house or mine, and now that she is back at her col she still can't connect.
I know how you feel.
I have had this issue ever since I first upgraded to Stock 2.3.3 last July. On 1.6 and 2.1 (both stock also) I never had issues.
Basically, in my case, resetting the router DOES solve the problem, but only for a limited time. This limited time is random, as sometimes it will work for a few days, and then sometimes it will cut out a few hours again after I have reset my router. I am also using the static IP method (and an app called WiFi Stat which I initially thought had solved the problem, but it hasn't) I'm not sure what triggers the WiFi connection to be lost, but there must be a trigger. Like I said, I never had this issue in my previous old Android versions.
I had hoped (somewhat naively) that moving to a custom ROM would solve the issue, but after installing Wolf's latest ROM, I still have this issue.
Have you tried anything based on 2.3.4 or above, to see if this is an Android 2.3.3 issue? Are there any good ROMs people could recommend that are based on higher versions than 2.3.3?
WEP/WPA key issue?
If its not the kernel/ROM/version of the phone, it could have something to do with the way the security is set up for your router. I had the most frustrating time logging into my university's wireless (think it was encrypted with 802.1x EAP) which required username and password. Though most home-owned router are equipped with WPA/WPA2 PSK or WEP, you can try the steps below:
1. Go to Settings ->Wi-Fi Settings -> Add Wi-Fi network
2. Type in the network SSID (yeah this is the manual part)
3. Open the "Security" drop-down box and set the following:
Security: 802.1x EAP
EAP method: PEAP (default)
Phase 2 auth.: MSCHAPV2
CA cert.: leave unchanged
User cert.: leave unchanged
4. Type in username (if any) and password.
Once again, this would work 99% for 802.1x...not sure about WPA/WEP. Good luck!
Try Channel 6 in router option and hope it works.

setting a static ip doesnt seem to work.. any idea? i wish not to re-flash as i dun think that would be a permanent solution.
again i dun think it has anything to do with my router as other gadgets are able to connect with it and i didnt fiddle with the security.
It is unable to detect any router as i have tried it different hotspots.
Hope to get some help.
------------------------------------
I wipe clear the settings and it worked again.. hope the problem doesn't persist again.
It seems like there are a good handful of users having issues with wireless going to sleep/losing connection. I have my wireless set to never sleep however when my screen is off for 15 minutes or so my wireless is in a state of "obtaining ip address" and never seems to re connect unless I toggle wireless on/off. I have also tried turning 3G off while in wireless range and this did not help.
I usually only see this when I'm at work and the connection to the AP is weak. I have not had this problem at home where the connection to the AP is strong.
I had this same issue with the Eclipse ROM version 1.3. Although it seems to be amplified with cm7.
Also my install was off a fresh sbf, this is my only issue and it is by far not a deal breaker.
Figured I would start this thread since the cm7 thread is getting quite large to sift through.
If anyone has a solid workaround please share!

I'm getting some of this behavior. I set my wifi sleep policy to "never," but every now and then I'll pick up my phone and notice the wifi disconnected itself (but was still "on") and won't get past "obtaining IP address."
So yeah, my fix has been the same as yours (turn off wifi, then turn it back on).
Same here. I downloaded wifi fixer off the market but that didn't help any.

I am unable to get mine to work at all. It will start to connect then when it gets to obtaining IP address it quits and the network shows disabled. It does this everytime no matter which settings I use.

Something I noticed on mine is when this happens the green skin on the wireless and signal (data network) icons is gone.
And if I turn off wifi and back on, the green skin is re applied and wireless works.
I'm running adw ex (paid) but other than that everything follows the install steps exactly in the OP from the cm7 beta thread. I've not installed the tethering patch pre or post BT.

Do you mean that your icons turn white? That's normal with any ROM or build. It means that you are connected with the router or cell service, but that it is giving you an ip and opening ports to allow you to use it.
With that said, since Eclipse 1.3, I have always had it randomly d/c or turn white, in which case even though I'm still technically connected, I can't use the service. Likely a Motorola problem.

Yes that's exactly what I mean, thanks for pointing that out I had no idea..
Thanks for the input!
Lol no problem. I only assume its a Motorola problem because its been fairly consistent with my phone, through multiple ROMs, but I can't remember prior to Eclipse 1.3 if I was experiencing it. For all I know it could be a build.prop mod that a lot of our devs are using that may indirectly do it.
I've been having the same (or similar) problems with Wifi on CM7DX2. I did some experimentation and some debugging and have it narrowed down to what I think is a problem with DHCPCD fetching an IP (or rather, failing to do so). Here's my observations:
If Wireless is off and I toggle it on, it has no problem getting onto the network at work (open 802.11g) or at home (WPA2-AES 802.11n). The connection seems fine for a while (so long as I'm using the phone, though that only tends to be in bursts of 10-15 minutes or so). Once the phone goes to sleep (or I put it to sleep) it seems to put wifi to sleep (only a guess), but only once the phone has been sleeping for a couple of minutes or more. If I sleep it and immediately wake it up, it seems okay. I have my wifi configured to never go to sleep.
Once wifi wakes up, it attempts to connect to the network, sits there at obtaining an ip, then fails, sometimes marking the connection as "Disabled". I did some troubleshooting, including poking through the phone logs and saw some stuff related to dhcpcd. Unfortunately, all that's sitting on my laptop at home at the moment. I'll try and get that posted when I get home.
Working on the theory that dhcpcd is the problem, I tried setting a static ip at home (can't do it at work or the network people yell at you). Sure enough, the problem seemed to go away. So, as far as I can tell, the wireless driver itself, as well as wpa supplicant, seem to work fine. It's just dhcpcd fails to be able to obtain an IP until you power cycle wireless.
If any of the devs who have more of a clue about the internals of the android network stack can chime in and ask more questions, I'd be more than happy to provide what information I can gather. I'm a Linux admin, so I'm very comfortable with a command line if I know what to look for. I'm just not too familiar with the android way of doing things (which seems very different than a normal Linux distro).
Thanks!
Edit:
I forgot, I have a crashplan backup of my laptop, so I was able to grab the file... here's the relevant bits of data related to dhcpcd
E/dhcpcd (23840): open_udp_socket: Cannot assign requested address
E/dhcpcd (22434): open_udp_socket: Cannot assign requested address
E/WifiStateTracker( 1978): DHCP request failed: Timed out waiting for dhcpcd to start
E/dhcpcd (22434): open_udp_socket: Cannot assign requested address
E/dhcpcd (23840): open_udp_socket: Cannot assign requested address
E/dhcpcd (24029): open_udp_socket: Cannot assign requested address
E/dhcpcd (24060): flock `/data/misc/dhcp/dhcpcd-eth0.pid': Try again
E/WifiStateTracker( 1978): DHCP request failed: Timed out waiting for dhcpcd to start
It repeats that stuff over and over again when it fails to be able to connect to a network. When it's successful, dhcpcd is silent.

Its not an install issue. Icons for 3g and wifi turning white is common; it tells you that you're connected with the router or cell tower but aren't receiving a usable internet connection yet. I expect that its having a hard time obtaining an IP like one post already detailed.
Also, on a side note, my phone just decided after a week of normalcy to try to autocorrect "wifi" to "Sofia". Figured you should all be aware of this travesty.
I have my network setup to assign ip address according to mac address cause i need certain devices to always have same ip. Well i switched my Droid x2 to manual ip instead of dhcp and disconnects no longer happen when screen goes off. Going to test test of night but seems good so far. So for some reason it has to do with dhcp like other post said.

No I sbf before any new ROM i flash just for a fresh start.
It almost seems to me like the wifi is going to sleep even tho i have it set to never sleep. It also only seems to happen when i have a weaker signal to the AP. I don't even bother using wifi at work anymore because it got so bad. This happened with liberty and eclipse 1.3 but not nearly as bad as with cm7.
I mainly only notice it at work because i will leave my phone idle on my desk for long periods of time and when i return the wifi is stuck "trying to acquire ip address"and will not unless i toggle wifi. I do sometimes notice it while my phone is in use. I stream sirius/xm and anytime it cuts out i turn on my phone and sure enough it's "trying to acquire ip address".
Like i said in op it's not a deal breaker by any means it's just something i noticed got worse once i went to cm7.
This is by far the best ROM I've used on the dx2, although i haven't tried miui yet.

Some additional observation tonight. While setting a static ip will make sure you can get back online over wifi, I don't think it's actually preventing the root problem. I just woke the phone up and it looked like the wifi had disconnected while sleeping (the wifi "bars" were all grey for a second before they filled in). So, while there seems to be some problem with dhcpcd fetching an ip after waking from sleep, the wifi shouldn't be sleeping in the first place, but it is. Is it possible that setting in the CM7 Wifi Settings menu isn't actually affecting the behavior of the driver (or whatever actually puts it to sleep)?

I think your right, it was more consistent on static ip but it did eventually lock up my router again. The constant connects and disconnects must freak out the router.

sup everybody.
firstly, i am a wireless expert (11+ years experience) so im not a nuubie to Wireless networks.
but i am new to Android and have just recently gotten an S3, so im hoping some body can help me.
i have an 802.11n wireless hop that connects my upstairs network to my downstairs network (internet router is downstairs)
upstairs i have an 802.11b/g access point for the older devices to connect to, this access point is connected to my 802.11n bridge
my laptop connects to the 802.11b/g network fine, and has internet connectivity (no issues)
when i first got the S3 last night, it was connecting fine as well, but since this morning, no matter what i do, the S3 connects to the access point, gets DHCP, i can ping the IP address, but it doesnt have net access, but if i connect to the 802.11n network it gets net access.
so for the life of me i cant figure out why.
so in a nutshell net access works from the laptop, but not the S3, same access point, and yes ive checked the WPA2 passkey, and the device is getting DHCP.
any suggestions.
like how to reset the IP address on the S3

Sounds like the default gateway route is not correctly received or activated. Do you have any computer/laptop with a promiscuous-capable Wifi card around that you might use with Wireshark? It should tell what exactly goes wrong.
Since you claim to be a Wifi expert I guess you won't need much help interpreting the result.

Try shutting off ur router.... Wait for a min or so then turn it bak on nd see what happens. I have an intellinet router which when the current goes off nd then on im able to connect to everythng except all google services (gmail, search, reader, syn, etc.) until i do the above. All my other devices connect fine in the meantime! Must be smthng with android....
- check the ip address.
- from device, ping its default gateway
- from device, ping external ip address that is known to response to ping
if all those works but you can't ping www.yahoo.com, it is resolver issue.
if all those including pinging yahoo works, and you still have no access, then the apps has issue or there is firewall.
2 S3 in a 3 days (Internet Isues)
Well, a seven days ago itake a Galaxy S3 from my carrier: Ancel (Uruguay).
IN the First day all fine,but in the night it can´t connect with 3g. In the other day the Wifi STOPs. TheS3 conect with the rooter but can´t navigate.
I change the rooter, resetthe phone (factory Reset) but the thinks not change.
I comeback to my carrierand Ancel take my old phone and give me a new S3 (1 day old).
For 2 days, it go well, butin the final of the second day, No wireless or 3g connect, the same again.
It´s a |Firmware problem, ahardware damage, what suppose I have to do ???
My computer is normal, myold N97 is fine, It has 3G signal and navigate on Wifi and 2G/3G, but my galaxyS3 no …
I ´m very confused with this situation ... Twophones in a 3 days …

This technique works for me but only like a temporary solution. Restarting the home router also works for me but again is temporary. This issue I think is with most galaxy s3 devices. I own a galaxy tab 10.1 and it's there in it as well. huge pain to check each time, critical notifications are always missed. Have switched to bluetooth internet sharing from my laptop to avoid disruptions as I just can't trust the wireless.

None of both have commented on my suggestion to use Wireshark on another computer to see what's actually going on.
It's hard to guess the reason since by crystall ball is broken and it's nearly impossible to get magical artifacts in pristine conditions on ebay...
No Way.
But after reset the configurations, today in 3G mode al is fine.
In wifi it shows Conected in calennetwork, after this it show internet not avaliable via selected wlan ap. It can´t navigate.
In my router page , the received packets always change, for more data and the sent packets never change.
In the avanced configuration what is the Network prefix lenght ? In my XT860 and N97 i always select the channel of the router, but in the galaxy a don´t have this option.
But the strange, is that in the 2 galaxy s3 in the first day work im my router, and then after some hours it´s crash and not navigate...
Very bad Samsung.
I´m thincking in change my S3 for a S2 or Lumia.
I´m disapointed for it, because if i change the Firmware version i lost the warranty and i have bad feeling about this isues... Is a hardware fault or a software bug ???

You only lose warranty if you bring it to a store without original Rom. Just use the normal procedure (TriangleAway, Odin, Factoryreset) to get it back to stock and you're good to go. If your device has issues preventing it from booting (so you cannot re-flash original) they can't check the binary counter either :angel:
THancks for the help.
I will going to look for triangleway & Odin in the forum.
With my Motorola XT860 i made a lot of stuff: CWM, Custom Roms... but i dont´t know nothing about the S3.
Just some days reading here in XDA and a will going to know all that kind os Staff.
Sorry for the BAd English...
I'm having this issue. I think it has to be a firmware issue as I don't think I get it if I use CyanogenMod9 or 10 (but I could be wrong)
It really is very annoying and somewhat disappointing.
Hello Again!
I tested my S3 in others routers, and all the router that working without sharedkey (open network) my S3 can conect and acess the internet.
Test your phone with one and post for us here.
OBS: In my TP link TL-WR642G it can´t conect (with and without Shared key) but in the first day yes, i don´t understand it.
I will going to 3 school who has open Internet for all the childrens and this 3 schools my s3 conect and navigate in the Internet.
Thancks for the support, if anybody change the firmware and the phone come normal again, please comeback here and post for us.
I have this problem too.. since omega. Strange...'

Anyone with this issue, please try the following:
- Take a Nandroid backup of your phone (on the internal SDcard, restoring from external seems to be broken)
- Flash CM9
- Try Wifi
If it works, please report. if it doesn't, restore the Nandroid backup and report =)
Since CM9 is not based on Samsung-software, that should answer the question about it being an issue in the newer Rom once and for all.
I have an Asus Slider Sl101. Around 3 days ago, our router had been changes as the previous one wasn't working properly. Our carrier is Charter and our router is Netgear. We hooked every device up to that new router and everything worked fine, including the tablet. But later on in the day,the Internet on there stopped working.
It shows that it's connected, but when I try to access the internet through the browser, it does not work. The blue line at the top of the browser starts up, moves forward a little, and stops entirely while the browser then says "Webpage Not Available". Apps that require Internet, such as Accuweather and my SAT apps, fail to work as well. Other devices that use our wifi include another computer and Nintendo DSi and 3DS. They all work fine. Our router shows that our android is connected to it, as well.
I've tried the static IP stuff, restarted the router, left the wifi off on the tablet for a few hours, and turned it off and off. I even factory resetted it and not even that helped.
I apologize in advance if I haven't given enough information; that's as much as I know save for whatever I can include from the tablet (IP Address and such).
Try changing encryption method

I'm sorry, but what is an encryption method?
Also, I just went to Starbucks and the Internet worked fine, so I know that it's not the tablet that giving problems.

It can be modified from the admin panel of your router. Obviously, each connected device must be upgraded to the new encryption method.
However, you can simply do a test and see if the connection works

Oh! Under "security", it says "WPA/WPA2 PSK". I believe it has always said that, even with our old router.

Probably
If the problem is not of the device, many network problems are usually caused by encryption or are due to the channel where the router works. Both settings are settable in the admin panel.
Try changing these.. Remember to make a backup first!

The things is, though, my tablet was working when we changed the router. Ever since then, nothing has changed when it comes to settings and all. Every other mobile device is working well and the computer out front that uses wifi works well.
In your eyes, the router seems to be the main problem, right? Do you think if we call our internet provider--Charter-- and ask for a new one that it might be able to work as it will be new and all? Or will it most likely not help too much?

If the problem is the settings of the router, this will not solve the problem..
The device successfully connects to other networks? You can do this test to see if the problem is the device or not.
hi sir i have already hack wifi paasword but not connected
password is correct sometime before i have connect
Is the router 2.4 or 5ghz, and is the tablet the same?
