s2 wifi - Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Just yesterday until evening everything was cool, but since then and now as soon as I try to connect it says "obtaining ip adress", after that it says "remembered" and then disconnected. Security says its OPEN so I dont know:/

in the end it says disabled. so I try to connect again and its all over again as mentioned before maybe because my phone is from t-mobile or it has nothing to do with that ?(not factory free)

[Q] Unable to connect to home wifi?

It was fine until last night...
I woke up this morning to find that my atrix had lost connection with home wifi, provided by ATT.
I tried to go back on, but it failed, as if I had got the password wrong (phone says its gaining IP address, turns wifi on and off, does the same thing again)
I tried rebooting the phone, retyping the password, which were an useless attempt.
Wifi itself seems like its, fine, since my mother's phone(Captivate) is going fine with it.
I can also connect to other wifi networks,
so I cant exactly see where the problem is.
My atrix is running on ATT, 4.5.91, rooted.
Thanks for your help beforehand!

Did you try telling it to forget the connection, then set it up again?
Have you tried rebooting your modem and router?
Many connection issues are solved by a simple reboot of all hardware involved.

Post-ICS hotspot issues

Running stock, clean install of .12. My Hotspot (which I do pay for, so that isn't the issue) isn't behaving at all. The phone is broadcasting the network and devices can authenticate, but they're not being routed to the Internet once they're in. "Limited connectivity" or "No Internet" statuses on my PC, lack of IP config details on my iPod/Pad.
I called VZW support last night and the guy had me shut the phone off, then he reset something on his end and had me turn it back on again. For an evening it ran like a top. Today I'm right back where I sarted. It *can* work, it just isn't.
Interestingly, when I run Mobile Hotpot, it gives no indication of trouble, but in the Tethering & mobile Hotspot menu in Settings, when i run the Hotspot, I get "Error" showing up in there. Doesn't say what kind of error, no detail/debugging, just "Error."
To recap:
ICS .12, stock
WiFi network ok, Routing not (apparently)
"Error" in settings when Hotspot is on.
Only thing I've seen that sounds anything like this was an APN issue on a different carrier's ICS phones post-update. I'm stumped at this point and like my odds better here than I do calling Verizon again...
I am having the same problem after OTA ICS, I can turn my hotspot on and it says connected to 1 device (my laptop) and when I try to connect to the wifi it takes a while and says "limited connection" and will not work. If I go to my mobile settings it says hotspot...error. usb tethering (internet connection mode) still works but the wifi hotspot doesnt at all, I thought they were supposed to fix this!

[Q] WiFi Tether on CM10.1_M

I just upgraded my Verizon Galaxy S3 to CM10.1 Milestone build, running jb 4.2.1. When I use the built in wifi ap, as soon as i turn it on, it says "no internet connection" on the phone. On my computer, the network name does show up. If the ap is configured with any security, on the computer it will say "connect timed out" when i try to connect. When i make the ap open, the computer will connect to it. However, since my phone drops it's internet connection as soon as the ap is turned on, my computer gets nothing from being connected to the ap. I also tried using "WiFi Tether" app. When I start it, it says "tethering started but with errors" and in the log it shows that "configuring ap" and "starting ap" failed. It doesn't even show up in my list of wifi networks on the computer.
Both wifi tether app and the built in wifi ap worked perfectly fine in CM10. Any suggestions as to the fix? It's a CM10.1 Milestone build, so I would think they'd notice something like wifi tether not working for a MILESTONE build!? Maybe I have to upgrade my radio or find the source code for the wifi ap somewhere? This especially sucks since I just cancelled my Comcast internet, so i'm 100% dependent on my phone! Please help! :crying:
Hi I have the same problem as you! Have you figured out a way to fix it yet?

Unfortunately the entirety of the internet was completely useless, but I did find a simple solution. I ended up running the 20130124 nightly build. Funny thing is i just went to look at my phone, and it claims i'm running the M1 build, but i'm sure i not. But i just used the CM updater (system settings, about phone, cm updates) and installed the 0124 nightly from there. Everything works great, except for when using the bluetooth for music in the car, the bluetooth connection is all choppy and unbearable. But the voice bluetooth connection for handsfree calling works just fine. So try that. But the next monthly build should be coming out in a couple days, and I'll probably upgrade it. Even the one i'm using occasionally says "no network connection" and it never reconnects, even when there's strong signal. So I just have to reboot it and it works great again for a while.

Problem with Wifi - when it fails to connect, does not try to connect again

Hi guys,
I have a OPO with Lollipop, but I think this problem affects Android as a whole.
When my device cannot connect to a WiFi network, appears "connection error" in light gray under the name of the network (where usually appears "connected") and does not try to connect again.
Is there a setting somewhere to tell Android to keep trying to connect?
Usually when I arrive to my house, it detects Wifi when I'm still very far, does not succed to connect (obviously) and then does not try to connect again.
When I arrive to my workplace, it detects Wifi when I'm still in the elevator with poor reception, does not succed to connect and then does not try to connect to the same network again.
If I click "connect" manually then, it connects in a second.
What can I do?
Is there a setting somewhere to force to try to reconnect a few times before giving up?
Thanks in advance to any Android genius that could help me here.

Problems setting up LG V30+

Hey, so recently I was having WiFi connectivity issues at my university; I would be able to connect to WiFi on my phone but would have no internet connection. After a variety of attempted fixes I decided the only way I could fix anything (since I can't directly fiddle with the router here) would be a factory reset of the phone. I'm able to do that without any problems up to the point where I'm asked to "Set Internet connection" where I'm presented with a number of WiFis to connect to. I tried to connect to the university WiFi but it's having the same problem as before: it connects but no internet. Okay, at this point I just hit "Next" to get to the next screen just so I can finish setting up the phone, and I'm given a dialog box which reads:
"No Internet
Your phone is not connected to the Internet. Software updates and device protection features will be unavailable until you connect to the Internet.
(Don't Skip) (Skip Anyway)"
No big deal, I just hit Skip Anyway.... the problem is, it doesn't "Skip" anything... it just takes me back to the "Set Internet connection" screen and I can't progress any further, so basically my phone is stuck in limbo, not able to finish setting up for some reason. I've also gone elsewhere and tried connecting to other WiFis that work, as well as trying to hotspot from my PC, and the phone gets hung up on "Obtaining IP address....", thus leading to the same Skip Anyway issue as before.
REALLY need some help as soon as possible, thanks in advance.
What model of v30 do you possess?
Are you rooted? Do you ha e TWRP?
