My prime is not loading any data, for a lack of a better description. It shows I am connected via wifi with a strong signal. But no web pages load and nothing else using data with connect, ie...market,twitter,email,etc. I am rooted on stock rom. The only recent changes i have made was a system ui mod, which changed the look of my popup settings box. I also uninstalled a few asus bloat apps, like apps locker, myEar, PicWE, etc. I am trying a TIBU restore of all system and user data right now. Can anyone else shed some light on this problem? Thanks
TIBU restore unsuccessful...
seems to be wifi stability issue, randomly connects and disconnecting
I have a similar issue when I try to switch networks from ad-hoc mobile to my home network. I can see the router, but no internet connection.
However, it always works if I reboot my router. Upon reboot, everything is fine.
Don't ask me how or why it works, but it does.
Hope this helps you.

Hey I'm new to android, just got a vibrant last week. Decided to unlock it as I travel a lot. The unlock worked, but now I'm having issues with my wifi. I can connect to a wireless network but I cant load pages. The wireless signal is strong and I tried with different routers, but still no luck. Looked through the forum and googled it but couldn't find a solution. If some one could please help with this, it would be much appreciated
try clearing your current wifi settings including remembered connections, passwords, and everything else...then re-scan for networks all over again, that's all I can think of for now
By that you mean just gong into settings->wireless and networks->wifi settings and then just forget the net work, rescan, and rejoin the network? If so, I did that but am still getting the same result. If you can think of anything else or if I didnt do what you suggested correctly please let me know. Thanks

yeah, thats what I meant :/....hmmm...sounds like your connection is working, can you download stuff from the market or is it just the browser? cause I unlocked mine too and wifi works fine
No I cant download anything from the market. I cant do anything that requires an internet connection, but it does show that I am connected to a network.

I sure hope so, thanks for your help
Have you been able to try another network? My first thought was it was in Ad-Hoc mode but I could be wrong. If nothing else restore to stock firmware and then try a different unlock.
Happened to me too. It would show the wifi icon on the notification bar but wouldn't load pages. I'd go to the settings and it'd say can't turn off wifi or can't turn on wifi. And when it was "on" I'd say connecting to modem then it'd just stop. When I was using the browser on wifi it would load a page even when I had full bars. I had to turn it off then back on to load another page. Is this similar to the problem your having?

I hope this doesn't sound stupid but yesterday I uninstalled Advanced Task Manager and poof my wifi started working again. The phone also seems to suffer from less occasional lag without it installed, but that's another story for another thread. Prior to this I had to manually turn my wifi connection off and on, but even that didn't always work. Since the uninstall I have not my wifi connection once. I am currently using the stock rom, rooted with minor adjustments here and there.
hi guys, i also have this problem.
i will be taking the phone in to the tmobile store on thursday.
it shows that i am connected via wifi; however, anything that requires an internet connection does not load.
very frustrating, since just yesterday i used the samsung kies software to tether a network for my laptop. i was testing the capability of the vibrant to act as a modem, and it worked just fine.
any help would be appreciated!
thank you
Charlie
connected but not connected
I also have this problem.
In my Vibrant shows that i connected, but i can not load pages. Someone
found any solution to this problem?
Hi all,
This is happening to me too. Rebooting seems to get Wifi working correctly again. But the problem comes back eventually.
Maybe a bug in the latest JI6 update?
Wi-fi problem.
Someone found any solution for this problem?
Froyo's update will fix this issue?
Thanks.
i hang on you **** iphone users they just bay for its cool smartphone **** iphone android is the king
I've been playing with an TP now for about a week or so. When I got it, the WiFi worked great, on both bootups. Now if I turn off the device and restart the WiFi never works on Android unless I go through the hassle of wiping my Delvik and or playing with a code I have for SuperUser. However if I boot up in WebOS, WiFi is there and connects immediately to any WiFi in the area.
Answers?!
Thanks in advance!
Not sure if Android wifi is perhaps detailed in another topic, but i'll post my issue here too while i keep searching for a solution.
I connect easily WebOS to Nexus One using "Portable Wi-Fi Hotspot" ..but in CM9 the wifi loops "Obtaining IP Address, Saving.. Obtaining IP Address" ..repeatedly.
Has anyone succeeded yet with Android-to-Android via portable hotspot?
EDIT: Okay, after re-applying sledgehammer, rebooting everytime i turn on TP's wi-fi (+ few FCs), disconnecting and reconnecting a few more times, it's finally connecting.. occasionally.
I'm not even trying to use the portable hotspot, at this point just trying to connect to my router at home, which it had no problem with earlier.
But the TP keeps looping the same as you...
"Obtaining IP Address, Saving.. Obtaining IP Address"
At least I'm not getting the 'force close' box anymore. Lol
I had terrible connection issues on CM7 and after installing CM9 all seemed fine until my first reboot, then I couldn't connect at all.
A few days ago, I changed my linksys router wireless channel from 11 to 4 and have not lost connection a single time since, even after multiple reboots. I have seen several others say they have had similar success.
However this happens no matter where I'm at, or who's router I'm using. ( I currently have an ActionTec, via Verizon), and I use the TP at school, so no idea what they have set up as wireless.
Had some issues with the portable hotspot from my iPhone but after making the TP forget the connection, toggling the wifi on both devices I can pick it up again. Not too bad. No issues with my home router.
I had to do the same, I 'Forgot' the network, then I toggled the Wifi on and then off. For whatever reason it has no issues staying connected to my home network now.
However at work I have to do that forget n' toggle everytime I reboot it.
Did you do a clean install or on top of CM7? When I loaded on top, I had many problems.
After an uninstall and fresh load of CM9, I do not have any problems like I use to experience in CM7. I would remove WiFi profiles and re-connect when going from Home to Office networks. I have none of that now in CM9, knock on wood.
I had issues frequently with CM7 and wifi, as was common. I haven't had any issues with CM9 or preludedrews latest build. I follow the "kill a fly with a sledgehammer" approach. I wipe data/factory reset, then wipe cache, advanced>wipe dalvik, mounts>format system, cache, data. Then installed. It takes an extra second to do all the wipes, but with experimental builds like this I always do it.
Now the only android issue I can't fix is ironically the xda app. In CM7, xron, CM9, or preludedrew's build whenever I try to do anything it FCs. That is my only complaint right now.

I was not having the wifi troubles that two other touchpad owners I know were having. I installed Android on both of their devices, but couldn't figure out what to do to fix it and it was making me insane. Finally, we reset all our routers to a channel below 5 and found that they all connected to wifi well, HOWEVER, I found a better solution. I don't know if anyone has noticed this, but this must be a setting I fiddled with on my TP, that the other two TP owners had not fiddled with.
Go into Wifi Settings, then click the Menu button at the bottom left (the three bars)... click Advanced then click Regulatory Domain. In my touchpad, I had clicked on the 11 Channel option. On the two touchpads that could not regularly connect to wifi, neither had a selection made whatsoever under "Regulatory Domain." After clicking "11 Channels," all three touchpads can connect to wifi with no issues AT ALL, no matter the channel.
I almost can't believe this hasn't been posted in other forums yet, because it seems to be the key and much easier than setting every router you want to connect to, to a different channel.
Please let me know if this works.
Thanks for the tip. My touchpad had nothing selected either in that menu. Hopefully this will solve my wifi woes!

nice find thanks I'll give it a try
i cant even find the wifi settings/menu. i go into the wifi and can view the networks available, look at known connections, and when i look at preferences i'm only given one option to toggle which is whether the wifi turns on or off while sleeping.
so where do i look to find the above mentioned wifi settings which leads to the menu button that i cannot find? thanks.

I don't thank it is for CM9.
It's on top corner. You can access menus there. However, on CM9 build I do not have the regulatory options to change the channels as you explained. It's an advanced tab that gives me access to sleep policy, etc. Are you on CM7?
Yep, it's only CM7.

Sorry, I should have specified that I'm on CM7. It works so wonderfully for me that I won't be doing CM9 until many more of the bugs are worked out.
I'm running Miui with CM7 base. I do not see where these 'menu' options are. *head scratching*.. Is it under the 'advanced' tab?
Found it, but it to is selected with 11 channels already.
# rm -rf /data/misc/wifi && reboot
this also works, but it's a pain to have to copy and paste it and run it through the terminal daily. just hoping for a solid fix. cm9 seems to be the way to go, but once they have a few more of the bugs worked out.
This is a weird one. For a month I have been using the Leedroid rom with Honeycomb. I have the /htc /flyer 32gb with 3g (UK). In the last few days I have lost my internet connection on both wIFI and on 3g. I did get it back for a few hours today and now I can't connect again!
Having a tablet with without connectivity is a bit like having a fancy brick :-(
I have tried removing the Sim card and re-inserting it and trying a different wifi router.
Anyone else had issues like this?
i assume you haven't made any changes/modifications/installations recently that may have messed with it?
for your 3G connectivity, put your sim card in your phone to determine whether the issue lies with the sim card or the Flyer...also check your APN settings
same with wifi - can you connect your phone to your router's wifi?
my guess is that you installed an app that's messed with your settings
Problem solved (sort of)
Thanks for the reply
You may have been right that an app messed up my settings. I know the APN settings were correct as I could connect from my Nokia phone using them and the SIM card. I could also use two other definitely internet connected routers.
In the end I did a factory reset using CWM. After a few scary moments after the re-boot it was working again. Evidenced by the fact that after reboot the tablet tried to download my previously installed apps again!
I have had to re-do some settings and the Flyer seems to be runnng a lot more smoothly than before. Still no idea what caused my problems but will definitely be checking after I install apps in future that my web connection stays up just in case! Update, it seems my g and ADSL wifi are not getting along together - had no probs before though....mmmm....

you can stop that from happening...that's a "feature"...lol...either untick "back up my settings" under >settings/privacy; or don't add a google account after a new flash until you have reinstalled apps from a backup

some people have had success changing the wifi channel on the router to something higher than 11 (so i've heard, i've never had to do it myself)...you may also want to try setting static IPs for any other wifi devices to avoid conflicts
either way, it is far more likely that the issue would be settings other than ROM related, else everyone else would be having the same issues
you could also try something like this

Hello,
I run into rather strange problem. My phone, china Android 2.3.4, is working quite weel instead of this:
If I use WIFI, then turn it off and try to use mobile data connection, it is not possible.
Icon showing that mobile connection should be active is on, but no data comming through.
I tried switchiing to airplane mode, changing access point names and so on, but nothing worked. Only solution was to restart the phone, after that all works normally - until connecting to wifi.
After rooting my phone I tried to figure out more with Teminal emulator. It seems that after releasing wifi connection and turning interface down, mobile interface comes up with same IP as before - it should ask network for new one. But, more important, route table is empty (or containing one entery and no default gateway at all)
I tried bringing mobile interface up and down several times, tried forcing it to use dhcp (timeout), without success.
Is there a way to "reset" whole networking system from shell? Something like partial restart, which would be probably quicker than full restart.
Thank you for any ideas.
Same issue on my Galaxy S3. After being connected to wifi, i can't use mobile data connection and the only way to make it come back is reboot.
Any suggestion?

I'm having the same problem with an LG Optimus F6. Did you ever get this resolved with your phone?
I'm having a strange issue and wondering if anyone has experienced something similar.. I can access most of the internet (web sites, podcast download, etc), over WiFi and cell data but some things like my imap email seem to get "stuck" (eg, my email client says "socket timeout"). I've learned that if I switch networks, from WiFi to cell or vice verse, the connectivity seems to start working again, but eventually hangs up again. This is happening on both a OnePlus One running Android 2.x and an Asus tablet running 4.4. They both seemed to present this issue around the same time, but a few things changed around the same time that I remember;
1 I installed the WeChat app
2 The WiFi router I connect to most often changed
I uninstalled WeChat but the problem persists.
I want to blame the WeChat app as installing something surreptitious to spy on my network traffic.
Is there any way to see why my network connection is getting "stuck"? Or do I just need to do a factory reset? I'd just hate to go through all the effort of a factory reset just to find I have the same issue.
