[Q] Why can't I see network? - G Tablet Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

I'm new to this site so I hope I'm posting in the right area. I was enjoying using my non-rooted G Tablet at work but the recently switched to a new network and my G Tablet can't even SEE it. I've just now wandered around the whole building to no avail. I know it is available and working because the students near me are using their laptops, smart phones, and tablets--and their only option for wi-fi is the school's one network.
They don't have an Android guide available, but they do have information for how to get connected using Windows devices:
Enter the SSID
Change Network authentication to: WPA2
Change Data Encryption to: AES
Click on Authentication Tab
Change EAP type to: Protected EAP
Uncheck Authenticate as computer when computer information is available
Select Authentication Method: Secured Password (EAP-MSCHAP v2)
Uncheck automatically use my windows Logon name and password.
Now, obviously most of these things are not options on the G Tablet (at least not where I know to find them) and I don't know if they are helpful to solving this but I thought I'd include the info. I did try manually adding a new Wi Fi network. I wrote in the SSID, and chose "WPA/WPA2 PSK" option. But then it asked for a password which is not necessary in the guides. I will eventually log on using my work user name and password, but I can't get to that screen (and just out of frustration I did try entering my work password just to see if anything happened--it didn't).
I realize you can't know every setting my work place uses but I hope that's enough to figure out what's wrong. Is there something the G Tablet just doesn't support with the new network? If I rooted, could that help? I feel like the problem has to be my G Tablet since everyone else has working internet. I mainly bought the G Tablet to use here at work for the sites they've blocked. I'll survive without it but I'd really like to get some use out of my device!

Wow, not one helpful comment? Well IT finally got back to me and the woman thinks that my tablet doesn't support WPA2-Enterprise. Is this something I could change with rooting? And if so, which ROM or whatever should I use?

Not sure if these show up on Froyo roms but I'm on GTab Comb v3.3 (Honeycomb).
Try this:
Go to WIFI settings, select add WIFI Network, type in the SSID, for Security select 802.1x EAP, for EAP method select PEAP,for Phase 2 select MSCHAPv2.

How do I connect LG Vortex-VZ's Optimus One-to my company Wifi and use apps over it?

I have recently purchased an LG Vortex (from what I read is Verizon Wireless's Optimus One) that comes with the Android 2.2 operating system installed. I have looked into rooting my phone with z4root and have successfully temporarily rooted my phone. I would rather keep my phone unrooted, but if it is absolutely necessary I will root it permanently with z4root.
My question is this: How can I connect to my company wifi and use apps that require wifi?
I can successfully connect to my corporate wifi through the 802.1x EAP protocol. The problem comes when trying to access any of the apps that require internet (I am forcing Verizon's data plan not to be used--using wifi only due to 150MB limit on my data to save $$ per month). None of my apps seem to work--internet browser, Market, Gmail, Google Calendar, etc...
On my company pc I know that within internet explorer the box is checked that says "Use automatic configuration script" and gives an "Address" that is in the format of "..../proxy.pac" It looks like my work uses a proxy for things to connect to the internet. I have no such place to put this information in my LG Vortex. I downloaded an app that seemed promising called "Proxy Settings" which will allow me to enter in the following Hostname and Port. When I tried to enter the "..../proxy.pac" as the hostname it gave me an error stating "The hostname you typed is not valid."
Is there an app or something that will allow me to use my apps when connecting to my corporate wifi? Is it a proxy setting thing or a VPN thing? I am not sure. I am open to any and every idea so that I can use my phone's online features while connected to my company's wifi.
FYI - I have friends that have iPod touches and they are able to connect to the internet with some apps internet browsing and downloading apps, but they have a similar issue of not being able to use all of their apps as well. I believe they were able to put the "..../proxy.pac" address in their devices somewhere.
Thanks!
I am a new member on this forum but I decided to reply because I have a question and a possible solution for you:
-solution:try to download the *.pac file.You will see that it is probably a script that defines your actual proxy's ip.So you could try and figure out which is your actual proxy's ip.Then use this ip for the proxy-app. (However I am afraid that only browser will connect properly,not every app)
-and now the question:how did you manage to connect to the network?I have trouble connecting because the wifi settings menu doesn't seem to help.
I try to connect to a 802.1x EAP network and I have installed the required certificates but I don't know what to fill to username,password fiels.

[Q] Connect to a 802.1x EAP network?

Hello XDA devlopers,
I'm trying to connect to a WPA EAP network in my school, or a 802.1x EAP network as my mini pro regocnizes it.
when trying to connect it asks me for a password/password consisting of 8 letters/numbers.
i have tried using the same methood we do for our laptops we use at our school wich is a Unique SchoolID and a password. but that doesn't work since it want whatever i write to match the first line of password.
However, when just writing something random like 8 number 1 digits it goes on and asks for a connection type were i can choose from EAP, WPA and etc where i chose EAP because thats what im guessing our school uses (i'm no network technichan so i dont know anything about wireless networks at all, otherwise i probably wouldn't post here for help lol.)
But when i have choosed the connection type it tries to connect for like half a second and then stops and goes back to sleeping mode or searching for new potentional wi-fi/wireless networks.
Please note that my phone is a Sony Ericsson Xperia X10 Mini Pro device with default 2.1 sony ericsson stock rom and no root, aswell as the standard app to connect to wi-fi / wireless networks. (Settings > Wifi & Mobile networks > Wi-Fi)
If i have written this in the wrong thread or have written something not understandable please PM me and i will try to correct the text.
Regards,
Joel

I would suggest looking up on your school's website to see if there are instructions for setting up the internet on your mobile device. I would assume they have instructions for different platforms.
I struggled to get it working at my school in which i had to get a certificate installed and blah blah blah. I can't remember if i got it working or not, it's been a while. I remember hitting a problem with WPA2 authentication on the mini pro. Hopefully you can get it working.

Thank you,ctalcant
But I've talked with our computer technichan team, but they said that they dont care and wont give support to anything else than our laptops, i also checked our schools website page and there were no instructions on how to connect, not even with our computers. only found a page telling us to visist the computer technichans if we experienced trouble.
So sadly, they wont support or help me with this. Any other suggestions?
Edit: i went there again and had a talk with a diffrent person, who seemed to have an android phone aswell, but he said that a certificate is needed to connect, atleast for the laptops in our school, but sadly he couldn't give it out because it was aginst their rules to do so. He said that he used a non-protected guest wi-fi that is aviable for our school, but to connect that you need a username and password aswell, and he couldn't give me one unless i was a guest at the school. And what iv'e heard about the guest one is that its suckey anyway so if there is any other solution i would be very happy.
Edit 2:
I have been using ubuntu on my school laptop before and got the wi-fi working without installing any certificate, but then i just selected to use EAP-PK2 something when editing settings on how to connect to the wifi with the ubuntu laptop and then filling the boxes with my schoolID login credentials and got it working.
And Android is based on linux so there should be some workaround for this?
Very Thankful for any answers about this.

I dont think it is possible for me to set up and proxy for the schools network.
They only have blocked one port and i think thats port 22 or something for security reasons, no other pages are blocked afaik.
Im starting to need the wi-fi access at school badly, i think i could pay whoever came up with a workaround or solution that works lol.
i'll post a fix tommorrow, i am currently trying it myself and it seems to work quite good!
please make a backup before you try.
it worked fine on mine though
802.1x working again!
hope it works for you!
you will loose draft N ability unfortunately
so only 54 mbit

i will try this as soon as i root my phone again, because currently is unrooted and using default stock rom.
still waiting for the CM7 for mini pro to become 100% stable for everyday use. I use my phone alot and with a rebooting phone or non working phone is a bad idea lol
Also make sure to download telekom global root cert.
Its not installed by default
Its listed on the webpage
Pki.dfn.de
Its often used for 802 connections

Even is an old thread I see no point in opening a new one.
So, I bought android (4.2.2) mini pc and created a pc out of it, but I am having trouble with connecting to students network cause it has 802.1x authentication, and you login with faculty username and password.
On windows we use Securew2 software and that solves problems, but when connecting on android I cant find any options to select EAP or TTLS authentication, anyone has a clue?

I run JB 4.1.2 on my x10mini and it just asks for username and password on 802.1x networks and then it connects. Not tested with a 'closed' network like a university setup, but with the public hotspots from my provider it just works.

Ah, that's a different animal altogether. I hope for you there's someone with a good answer to that, or try the playstore to see if there's anything available that implements that functionality.

There is an app Securew2 for android, but i think it only simplyfies Wifi connection...either way I cant try it cause it doesnt support my university credentials yet..

[Q] New question... Do any of the ROMs support Proxy wifi settings?

I didn't get much response on my previous question about proxy support for the stock rom, so I was wondering if any of the alternate roms include it. I would very much like to have access to the internet at work, but the school district requires loggon through a proxy server (content filter) before you can access the WiFi network. I realize that port restrictions that the district places on the network will likely prevent me from accessing the market, gmail, or voice search. But at school, I would most like to just access flash based educational website for kids.
Any thoughts on this? The district is moving toward ipads as the tablet platform of choice because of the lack of proxy support with Android. But the ipads lack of support for flash really hinders what I want a tablet to be able to do for me. (Yes, I want my cake and eat it too!) Is this too much to ask?
I connect my gtab to my schools wirelesss that is using 802.1x EAP for wireless security. I had to install a mod that changed the settings app and allowed advanced wireless settings. That allowed me to put in the authentication type, domain name, password, etc. Once connected, I ran a mod that set it back to the original settings apps. I asked in your previous post as to whether you are having problems actually getting on the wireless or once on, you can't bet by the web filter. We use websense here. Once I got on the wireless, there was an websense authentication dialog that popped up. Once I put my domain\username and password in, it works fine.
It won't even let me connect to the district network because I don't have anywhere to enter the proxy settings in the wifi set up box.
Assuming you have Pershoot's or Clemsyn's Kernel (or one of the better ROMs), you need something like ASProxy. I use it at work all the time and it does the job. There is a free program called TransParentProxy which is more limited but does allow you to quickly test settings without spending any money.
I do not see a proxy settings in the wpa_supplicant.conf file. My understanding of this file is it lists all possible settings settings available for Wi-Fi configurations.
# This file describes configuration file format and lists all available option.

Previously I've only needed to access a proxy after connecting to the network. Perhaps you have run into a problem getting connected to your network using the tablets Wi-Fi settings manager. So connecting to the network might be your first step and then connecting to the proxy your 2nd.
I found the free Wifi Advanced Config Editor (WifiACE on the Android Market) to have a GUI to easily configure advanced Wi-Fi settings not found in the tablet's settings. I realized when trying to set up an advanced configuration I needed to create a new connection in the tablets WiFi Settings with the security of NONE to avoid having some of the wrong settings configured by default. Then using the information from the my network admin I manually set the options via the WifACE GUI, un-checking NONE, and bingo I got connected.
I recommend WiFiACe with one caveat: make sure you have a way (like adb) working and know how to backup, delete, and restore files and that you make a back up of all wpa_supplicant.conf files on your tablet.
My caveat comes because my first reboot after I got connected to the Enterprise network at work the Wifi would not start or run. It would only display "error" and do nothing. Several reboots later it still wouldn't start and without Wi-Fi running there is no way to make configuration changes either through WifiACE or the tablets Wi-Fi Settings. I had to use the adb shell to delete the newly configured wap_supplicant.conf and create a new connection via the tablets Wi-Fi Settings and then make the necessary changes through WifiACE. Once that was done it ran and connected. Now after multiple reboots it still works and connects. Without the ability to delete the file I'm afraid I would have had to re-flash my tablet to get Wi-Fi to work again.
I don't think you've ever mentioned what ROM you're running. If you're running stock, you will have a very difficult time, in fact it may be impossible. If you're running a different mod, there's hope. Now, assuming that you got ClockWordMod (CWM) installed, you can probably be successful in at least connecting to the wireless. If you don't have CWM installed, here's a good place to start:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=865245
Once you have CWM installed, go to this thread:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=857939
This will give you the zips for installing a differernt wireless config tool that will allow you to put in the 802.1x EAP config. Once you can successfully connect, you back out the the tool you installed.

X10 wifi SCANNING - DISCONNECTED loop! HELP!

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.

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.
Solve
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.

[Q] Tethering S3 to iPad - Cannot access the Internet with iPad

I have a Samsung Galaxy S3 (Mini) with Jelly Bean 4.1.2. I recently bought iPad 4 (Wifi only) and decided to try to do some tethering with my phone. I entered the "Tethering and portable hotspots" submenu and paired up successfully with the iPad. However, I couldn't access the Internet with the iPad even though the connection to my S3 was okey. Everything just seemed to be loading and loading, and Chrome said something about DNS servers. I gave up and tried to Bluetooth-route. Again I was successful in connecting the two devices with the link symbol appearing in the upper left of the iPad's screen. Yet again the Internet did not work.
I should mention that I live in a country where there's no tethering regulation so I can just use the default tethering settings. I did think about if using Avast, power saving mode or anything other affected the tethering process, but after turning Avast and power saving mode off, nothing happened. I also double-checked that I could access Internet via my phone. I also double checked that I had my mobile data on.
There isn't any setting in S3's "Tethering and portable hotspots" submenu that I could try to change (I've tried tethering with and without a password). I can do something about hotspot Wifi-connection from the iPad (according to the manual):
Adjust the settings for connecting to a Wi-Fi network: Tap next to a network. You can set an HTTP proxy, define static network settings, turn on BootP, or renew the settings provided by a DHCP server.

However, I cannot do anything if I try to create a hotspot using Bluetooth.
I would appreciate help immensely!
On the tethering section, and since you only doing it for an ipad, go to configure the access point and tap advanced settings. Try changing the broadcast channels from auto to 10.
I work on a technical support desk and it seems that Ipads are very very fussy on lower channels, i am unable to test this as i don't own an Ipad but it may be worth a shot.

I asked on my friends to test this he has an s3 and an ipad mini, he doesnt use the stock tether. But he said clockwork mod tether works perfectly well on his. I believe it is free from the play store. Perhaps give that a try.

I just wanted to let you guys know that I have solved the issue. The trick was to add my provider's internet information (server, port) to iPad's settings. This is weird as with my old phone, Samsung Bada, I just had to create a Wifi hotspot with a few clicks and that's it.

Hi Tigerman82.
Could you please be more precise regrading the solution you found : What configuration did you make in you iPad, which information, in which configuration menu ?
Thank you for your help.

I first created the Wifi hotspot connection between SG3Mini and the iPad. In SG3Mini, I entered Settings -> More Settings -> Mobile Networks -> Access Point Names (APNs) -> *chose my provider's Internet/Wap settings* -> wrote down Proxy, Port, (User Name, Password)
Then in iPad, I entered the Wifi-settings, Tapped the > next to the SG3Mini's Hotspot connection and added the APN info in the HTTP Proxy settings. I originally tried to use the User Name and Password but it didn't work so I just used Proxy and Port. Then I tapped the "Renew" option.
After this, I could tether without problems.

How was he able to test clockwork mod tether with an ipad mini as this is a usb tether and my ipad mini doesn't have a usb port?
