Hi all
I have had this samsung galaxy for about 3 month the fault I am having is that when I am at home my wifi on my samsung galaxy s2 works fine soon as I go to work and connect via wifi it finds an ip address on the network connects via dhcp but randomly it takes other ip on the network like eg. 192.168.1.104 which is a static ip on the network as well as this it takes the static server ip as well could this be a application issue or is this a fault with the phone.
I have got gingerbread 2.3.5 install custom rooted chainfire basic rooted device.
I can try to reset the phone back to factory and see if this helps is there any other suggestion that you would recommend anyone please I'm stuck
thanks in advance cheers

Heya,
is it possible to establish a pre-defined VPN connection every time my phone connects to an (unencrypted) WiFi before any other data gets transmitted?
I'm using: Samsung Galaxy S I9000 2.2.1 DocRom XWSJ8 9.9.5
Thanks,
bootsy
There are things like killswitches that presumably do what need.
Hi,
I have just bought a SGS-II today and i cannot connect to my Home Wifi.
When i press connect , the following happen : Connecting -> Obtaining IP Address -> Remembered -> Disabled, Secured with WPA2 PSK.
This all happens in a second.
It detects the network but does not connect.
I have a Cisco Linksis WRT120N Router with WPA2 [AES] Security. I can access the internet form all my other Laptops , Mobile Phone , PC , but SII cannot.
It has 2.3.3 Stock ROM . I dont think there is any problem with my router as i can connect on all my other devices.
It is very annoying because without WiFi there is no fun in the SII.
Pl help me solve this serious problem as the SII is a wonderful device.
Any Help will be appreciated !
I am having this SAME EXACT Problem. Is there anyone that can help with this? Perhaps this is more of a widespread issue since I have this same issue as well.
Anyone experience this at all?
I'm with SGS2 and I connect without problems to a WPA2/PSK (AES) WiFi, so the phone should work.
How have you loaded the configuration of the WiFi?
In my case since is hidden, I've added it manually (maybe you could try to do so if you configured automatically). Also check the MAC if you have a MAC Filter (maybe is not included and the phone wont connect).
It should work from stock, so maybe the problem is something in the configuration of the device.
I would really like some help as well... Pls somebody help
Well, the title says pretty much all .. I earlier didn't have this problem.. Then since last night, I came back home and connected my Galaxy Ace to my home wifi, but this time, it wasn't transferring any data.. It would be connected, full signal, but no internet connection.. My browser, gmail, YouTube, PlayStore, nothing would load.. It'd keep saying Connection Error. Retry.
My wifi works properly on the computer and other devices, and my phone used to work perfectly too! Why's it suddenly giving this problem?!
Any solutions!?
SOLVED!
Okay so I figured it out on my own!!
I went to Wifi Settings>> Advanced>> and "Use Static IP"
I then provided my phone with an IP address, gave the DNS servers as mentioned by my Router, and gateway, is ofcourse, the IP adress of the router. NETMASK is Subnet mask ..
Once I filled in them correctly, and as per my router settings, my mobile is now transferring data and I can now access the internet!
Just thought I'd post a reply incase anyone else was facing this problem
No data through laptop hotspot.
I have a similar problem, but with using my laptop as an access point. My Samsung Galaxy Ace had no problem connecting to either my or my wife's laptop access points initially till about a week ago. I use an HP while my wife uses a DELL. We both run Windows 7. But, here's when things started to get strange.
1. The Ace even though connected through my laptop's AP Wi-fi cannot send or receive data after the first few seconds.
2. My wife's Dell XCD35 (ZTE Blade) has no problems.
3. The Ace has no problem connecting to an Android AP or my wife's laptop AP.
I reflash and unrooted my phone and basically brought it back to factory settings but no luck.
Tried using other services for using my laptop as an accesspoint - mhotspot, virtual router and connectify - still no luck.
tried static ip - no luck.
reinstalled the MS Virtual Wi-fi Miniport Adaptop driver - no luck.
Somehow, there is a security setting on the laptop that's preventing my phone from connecting to the internet. I think I maybe connected to the network, but access to the internet is restricted.
There are no other features like MAC address binding or anything like for laptop APs.
It's getting really frustrating now.
Any help would be appreciated.

Set your Internet to "Allow other computers to share this Internet connection". Other ideas would be to check/disable your firewall
Wifi connected but not working
My Galaxy ace plus connects fine to wifi network but cannot browse internet or play store. I am using a free public wifi so i dont know about the static ip address. And this problem was from the starting whn i just bought it. So is there any other solution for this problem or not?
I tried everything... I restarted the modem- no luck. I filled in the blank from the advance wifi setting- no luck
Has anyone else tested the USB tethering feature built into the Galaxy S3 SC-06D Docomo ROM version? The Wifi Hotspot seems to work fine (private IP addresses), but the USB tethering uses a 5.x.x.x IP address and the DHCP does not assign a DNS IP address. I have tried to manually enter DNS IP addresses but I may be using the wrong one because it might have to be local to NTT's network.
I never had this problem with USB tethering my SC-02C Galaxy S2.
Any help would be appreciated.
I have more serious problem:
My S3 SC-06D cannot use tethering by the stock ROM. No usb tethering and no wifi tethering.
The thing is, as long as I turn on the tethering, my 3G or H icon would be disappeared.
Weird enough.

Hello since I update my samsung galaxy SIII to 4.2.1 when I try to connect to my wifi network my device keeps telling me "obtaining IP address" and nothing more, never conects to my network. that is weird because it was working before the update. There is a way to fix this? I dont want to set and static IP address it seems stupid to me. I need help to fix this please. Thanks you and pardon my english (its not my native language).
I had the same problem with a Galaxy Tab, I'm not sure if this'll fix it, but if your phone's rooted, if you go in to the main root, misc, dchp and delete the DHCP list, that may well fix it.
