Hi guys, in this days i have noticed a problem with my gsII.
Sometimes I have the gsII connected to my router but internet connection doesn't work.
I'll try to explain better what i mean... I start wifi on my gsII and use internet connection without problem. Then I set the phone in standby mode leaving wifi on. When after a while i want to use internet connection, it doesn't work. The telephone is still connected to my router but i can't use internet on the phone.
The only way to make internet connection work is to disable wifi e then reactivate it.
This is really frustrating....
I've got the telephone from three months but only now I'm noticing this problem because first I used to disable the wifi and activate it only when i need it.
Am I the only to have this problem? Is there a solution?
Thanks to everyone in advance... any help would be appreciated
A video is more than thousands of words, so this is an "example video" of the bug:

Test it with a different router, i.e. Cisco E4200.
It would a good idea but i have to buy a new router or go to some friend's house for 2-3 hours. I'll keep this idea in my mind thanks
I have this problem, mines a bt home hub v3. Don't think its the router I blame the phone. I have to restart phone to make it connect with ability to use internet

I do not know what " standby mode" is? I have the same phone and have no problems with wifi. The phone goes to sleep when I do not use it and awakes when I use it.
It seems that your phones wifi is sleeping and not waking up. I always turn it off when not using it anyway. Not the full answer but it works for me.

I don't use wifi very often, but I do notice this problem with 3G data. Modem problem? I'm using kh3.

I believe I know and had the problem you describe.
For me the Wifi would work perfectly at first and then after the phone had been left for a while I would try to use it and get 'no connection' type errors. Sometimes it would even stop working even if I just waited too long with the phone still on in my hand.
I found that if I either disabled router wifi security or set it to WEP the problem disappeared. The issue occurred on 2.3.3. My router is a DLink one fyi. I have yet to test 2.3.4 which came out yesterday in Sweden. Ill let u know.
What version android are u? Does relaxing ur wifi security fix it??

I really should have said that is a workaround not a fix. I can add also that I have contacted Samsung about it. They cannot confirm or deny thru issue but suggested that I take the phone to their service centre. Yay...

Ehm...For standby mode I mean that I lock the phone, I only shut down the display....understand what I mean?
If you turn wifi off when you don't use it, you'll never see this bug. Try to leave wifi on for some hours if you want to understand if also your gsII has this bug.
I don't use wifi very often, but I do notice this problem with 3G data. Modem problem? I'm using kh3.

Ps: A really strange thing of this bug that i've noticed is that internet connection doesn't work but the program androidVNC perfectly works!! Instead if I try to open 192.168.0.1 (router address) with any browser (opera, dolphin, stock's browser) it doesn't work!!

I tried changing the channel also. I have heard others getting this to work. Didn't work for me. You can use Wifi Analyser app on phone to find a clear channel and see how u go changing your router perhaps?
I tried re flashing also using factory restore. No fix for me.
Also noticed that u can sometimes get phone to work by toggling Network Data on/off. Not really fun either.
The wifi channels and security settings I am talking about are settings in the router not the phone. What wifi security are you using in your router?
Sent from my GT-I9100 using XDA App
I am not a believer the router is at fault in any case. I would entertain an incompatibility but nothing more.
Original router and security settings work fine for...wait for it...an iphone 3gs and a Motorola Defy (yes the phone which seems to have issues with doing everything else!)
Either way an incompatibility is not acceptable either if that's what it is

I know this, and in fact i have to switch off and on wifi connection when this happens.
Now i'm trying to use channel 5 with the router ( but yesterday I've tested channel 6 and 13 without any result)
I hate this bug because beacause it happens only when he wants! I'm quite sure that assistance wouldn't solve the problem. A friend of mine has changed three gsII and said that every gsII that he has changed had this bug!
Ps: Another question.... How often do you have this bug?
Once a week? Once a day? Three times a day?

Is NOT the phone.
i have the same problem reported in the 1st post.
i have been turning wifi off and then on again for a quick fix until now but i think the solution might be to drop the security on the router from WPA to WEP. Haven't tried it yet tho, because it doesn't bother me that much.
I had an ipad previously (before i had the SGS2) and it had exactly the same behaviour. I looked up the problem then and found a FAQ from the ISP that mentioned a compatibility problem between ipad and that router, so their suggestion was to set the router to WEP only.

Easily more than 3 times a day but then I use the phone a lot.
Problem had never occurred when I used only 3G. That was my workaround when I got fed up with it before I dropped the wifi security.

For me it happens always after the phone comes back from stand by with wifi on.
steps to reproduce:
1-turn wifi on, and check it's connected and working
2-press power button to turn off screen
3-turn phone back on, try to access a new web page, it doesn't work
I noticed that while it's in stand by i will still receive email notifications so it probably only looses the connection when i turn it on again.
Also, if there was some program working (say, a download) when i went into standby it will probably still be transferring when it comes out of stand by, it's just the new connections that fail.
im having some issues, was wondering if anybody could help,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??
am quite new to android (have finally left ios and joined forces with android)
thanks in advance

i have a galaxy s and ever since installing firmware jvs my wifi sleep policy hasnt worked at all. when i have sleep set to never the wifi reconnects every 59 seconds without fail. when never when plugged in is selected its the same. when turn off when screen turns off is selected the wifi doest turn off with the screen, or at all as far as i can see. infact this is the only setting where the wifi doesnt reconnect all the time (need to test this further to be sure). i think roms are based on the stock gingerbread so maybe its that thats broken?
I'm using Dell streak 10 pro tablet now, and also have same issue as you, you could set the wifi IP manually(static IP), don't by dhcp dynamically.
I'm also finding app to fix the dhcp issue.
Open up Rom Manager and click "Fix Permissions" let it do its thing then restart. That worked for me.
So I picked up a Prime today (running 4.0.3), and I'm having a weird issue... I can connect just fine to wifi, everything works properly, except two things:
- My wifi icon is gray. Always. Regardless of where I am, the network I'm connected to, etc.
- Talk doesn't connect. The error is "Connection interrupted -- status updates temporarily unavailable"
I have cleared Market and Talk data. I have removed and re-added my Google account. I don't have PDANet or any other tethering software. I've checked my wifi connection to make sure there is no proxy or anything. My speed is just fine! I've disabled/reenabled Background Sync. Syncs on the Google account work just fine.
I'm at a loss here... HALP?
I'm having this problem too.. did you ever find a solution? anybody else?
Mine does that when Im too far away from the router but it goes blue when i get closer.

I ended up turning off wifi, deleting the files in /system/etc/wifi, and rebooting. Had to re setup my wifi connections, but somehow in restoring a backup (or the ICS upgrade) the saved profiles must have gotten corrupted...

I'm having a similar problem. My icon starts out blue and everything works fine, but then after letting it sit for a while, my icon turns greay. Have not been able to figure it out yet. Pretty frustrating to set your tablet down and 15 minutes later have it stop getting notifications because it's disconnected itself or whatever it is when the icon turns grey.
I have my wifi settings set to always remain on while sleeping.

I tried but didn't work. I think we had different issues. It didn't sound like you could get a connection at all, while I get a connection that goes bad after the tablet has been idle for a while. Turning off/on wifi allows me to reconnect.
My android devices do this typically due to the firewall settings on whatever I am connected to, my wireless at work or example.

That is my assumption as well. I have the same issue but i figured it out. Its all you r wireless settings on the router. I have changed the broadcasting channel and since no more gray antennas. Its all i guess channel interference.

I've had that happen before, but in this case it was a constant 100% of the time thing, regardless of firewalls/connection/etc. Just something weird with the wifi profile on the device. I'm more convinced it had to do with restoring HC data after being upgraded to ICS.

I always wondered why my cell phone did the same thing, and in my searches, gray just means that it's not connected to Google's sync service. Now, while I agree with that to an extent.... I too have noticed on my cell phone and Prime (when tethered to my cell), that if either end is gray, I have non-functioning internet. This even happens if I have full bars and HSPA for my data connection. I personally have never noticed this on any of the 3 wireless home routers that I've connected to, however.

Same experience here. Grey typically means you have internet but no google services, but on my prime grey means no internet at all.
I've managed to get my wifi connection stable by using an app in the market called Wifi Keep Alive. I'm not sure if this app has any impact on battery draw in sleep mode, but I didn't notice much of a change after installing it. I left my Prime on all night last night which has always caused the grey icon, but my icon was still blue this morning and internet was functioning
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.

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 (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.

Just bought an S2 off a friend that's been rooted.
Running ICS 4.0.3 XWLPG kernal with the wanamlite V.12.0 Rom
My data internet works absolutely fine, but im having trouble configuring the WIFI. It's taken over 3 hours and ive given up searching the forum.
When I connect to Wifi via the settings - I get the screen saying "turning wifi on". It doesnt do nothing, just constantly stays like that.
If i go into the advance settings i have...
network notifications checked.
wifi frequency band set to auto - ive changed this but doesnt do anything.
I have a mac address.
and for IP it says unavailable.
Somebody please help me orelse i might end up losing my hair very soon.
Thank you.
Any ideas? Anyone?
wifi direct
Im having another problem with wifi but its with resurrection rom 2.3. Donno how to configure wifi direct or what explorer to use to send via wifi. All i can find is a tick box that says wifi direct.
I'd flash a stock ROM. Then you'll see if its a problem with your current rom or not.

Yeah, I've had same kind of problems with a stock ROM. Now the WiFi has been working just fine but sometimes I had the same problem as you do. No idea why it does it.
I have a not rooted galaxy, and I have the same prob. It mostly happens when you turn on/off wifi directly from settings instead of going to settings --> connections --> wifi etc. (ics feature)
I solve the problem with rebooting my phone...
Only takes 30 seconds.
Hope i helped!

Hi, Thanks for your reply.
Can I ask what you mean by a stock ROM - do you mean one that is not insecure rather the original?
I fix it by turning airplane mode on and off. But it doesn't occur after I changed to a custom rom

Dial *#*#526#*#* wait for some
time until you see ‘process was
successful’ on the screen. You
can repeat this whenever you see
this problem.
If that does not work, Search Google playstore for an app called FIX MY WIFI. It's a paid app but
I've tried it in the past and it worked after reboot.
Good luck
Hello everyone i faced the same problem and solved it by an app called wifi fix which is made by amid M Geha :good:
