Wifi isn't working! (ICS) - Vibrant Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Ok im running " ICS Euphoria RC2.1 " And recently my wifi has not been working. I've just moved houses so i got a new connection, my wifi on the phone can connect to the wifi and find it but after it does connect the wifi icon above the notification bar, is grey (it should be blue). I'm not sure if its my phone or my router settings, tho it should be the same as before.
Anyone know what to do?

Grey just means it's not connected to Google. Can you get on the internet / what happens?

No nothing loads , facebook, the google store nothing opens when i connect to the wifi but when its blue everything works

If you use the web browser do you get any specific error message besides that it failed to load?

Nope nothing even loads , just a white screen , stuck on loading :/

Try on another wireless device, see if it's the router.

Well i have 3 computers connected to the router , and they all work fine just not my phone :/. Ill just re-flash or a flash a new rom

To be honest, euphoria is auto dated, try their new chimera. It should solve a lot of your issues with euphoria.

having quite a serious issue with the vibrant wifi

I have this issue with wifi. It's that when I'm at home, it won't connect at all to my wifi all I get is obtaining address and eventually unsuccesful, yet occasionally it does work. Then, when using other wifis, turning on wifi does make it connect and show the icon in the notification bar, but still, it won't always work. I try to get into the market but it says no network or something like that. Tried most web browsers, nothing works too. What can I do? My phone is rooted and flashed with bionix fusion rom, evn though this problem sometimes happened even with stock firmware, rooted and not rooted. What can I do? Can't really get a replacement because i bought it from overseas. HELP!!

Some routers are a tad dodgy, so it may not be the phone at all. Since we dont know what type of router or what sort of connection environment your in (how many wifi connections it's handling, etc...) it's hard to say. Still it's easier to replace a $30 router than it is a several hundred $$$ phone.
I said in the post itself that I tried more than one wifi aka router, most of them connected to a laptop and my phone at a certain time. Therefore I doubt the issue is the router. I think it's a bug. Is there no fix for this?
This is kind of a shot in the dark, but have you tried putting the phone in Airplane mode and then restarting the Wi-Fi? I've found that the cell data connection can sometimes interfere with my Wi-Fi.

I would put my money on the router, I have not seen anyone else complain about this who is running bionix. So a bug within bionix, I'm going to say no.
HOWEVER!!!!!! I had the same problem for a while. I have AT&T uverse and there 2WIRE router is total crap... I had the same exact problems as you PLUS it would not connect to my mac mini for more then a few seconds. I hooked up an older router I had laying around and BAM no more issues.
I got the same problem, but my phone is not rooted or flashed. Must be a system/software problem.

Anyone else only connecting to the Edge network? I went into Wireless & Networks > Mobile network settings and made sure "Use only 2G networks" was Unchecked but still only connecting to Edge for me, the area I am in usually runs "H" with 6.1.0.
Network is fine for me

Might possibly be performing service upgrades on 3G in your area, it happens from time to time.
Oooo
im liking it!
a) All my homescreen apps somehow dissapeared.. but ok, i guess ill place them back.
b) A2ext by acejokey doesnt work very well.. some apps load, others dont. When you go to "manage apps" is shows the apps with the "sd card" icon next to it.
c) How do I flash the google apps? i clicked flash.. then got to home-screen, it asked me which apps i wanted to install. I accidentally hit cancel. Now what?
:Edit:
a) I had a different Launcher. Thats why
how is the built in VoIP/SIP working on this build, any thoughts on that matter ?
How is the market? Weather bug be fine?
Everything is working fine...one random restart but I believe it was because I was overclocked to high. My slide is usually only stable at 825 mhz. The makeover is nice and the new keyboard is fantastic. Copy and paste is a ++ can't believe this is just a nightly and not stable. 0 problems. Thanks Cyanogen!

Not sure if it would work with gb but try hebrewtoyou's wifi fix. It only affects some devices. My wifi is working fine.
I also love the built in tether, works better than anything else I've used, especially since it shows as an access point, not an ad-hoc network.

I *highly* doubt it will work, as those modules are meant for a 2.6.29 kernel, but trying it won't hurt.
Flashed this before work, loving it. I was loving the earlier version too, but it's nice to see Nightlys and be a part of this stuff. I didn't mess around with the CM6 Nightlys... Can't wait for more updates
worked fine until i tried flashing the gapps to it..then as soon as it goes to the touch the android screen it reboots everytime...has anyone gotten the gapps to work or is there an udated version?
nevermind i did some searching and found them...
what happened to battery percentage on status bar, i wonder if they got rid of it cuz the battery sits vertical instead of horizontal, or i am blind and i am just not seeing the option.

It's not there. I do not think it is an orientation issue since it works in Cyanoginger and it is vertical.

Xperia U: very weird wifi problem

My girlfriends XU is acting up ultimately weird..
Since some time we have this problem:
Wi-Fi only works for about 3 minutes when connecting to a wifi signal, yet the wifi signal icon indicates as if it has a good connection. The only way to regain connection again is to reboot, but then the same problem repeats itself, after a few minutes wi-fi is not working anymore. Also in the wifi-indicator the "send" arrow works, the "receive" arrow doesn't.
Basically if you want to discover a new wi-fi connection you need to reboot the phone also, because otherwise the previous connected wi-fi signal remains (it freezes as stated before after about 3 minutes).
Tried a factory reset already.. Didn't work. The phone runs the stock sony android 4.0.4.
Any idea's ?

Does it happen with all routers or only with your router?
Have you tried to repair using SUS?
Someone one the official forum had a similar problem and it was fixed by repairing the phone using SUS.

Hmm.. authentication error occurs when the wifi password is wrong on your phone. If somebody changed the password on the modem also this can happen, and I don't know about avg but does it have 3g data management? And are you saying that Mobile Data is not working?
And FYI try a factory reset of your phone, it would most likely fix your problem.

Your router could not be working as it should. If what was suggested above doesnt work, reset both modem and router.

Did you try a factory reset of your phone? So your red arrow ain't working huh? It means that you are not receiving any data.. Could be a slight error or something wrong with the receiver? Can you make proper calls?

i had the same problem . i just changed my wifi channel from 6 to 8 just do the same put your channel 5 or 7 or 8 and evrything will be fine if you dont know how to accesse your router just tell me my wifi connecting all the time without any error good luck
The solution that worked for me was to change the security settings on my router, from just WPA2 to WPA2/WPA. I had tried changing channels and frequencies, as well as my device name.
