Recently my rezound has stopped transferring data over wi-fi. It will connect fine to networks but then all apps will say "no connection" or "unable to connect". If I disable wifi and run on 3g/4g then it works fine.
So far I've tried forgetting all wifi networks, but I don't know what else to try.
Please help, I live in a 3g area and it's so slow.

Hello.
I'm having some problems with the Wifi connection on my Vibrant. Connects fine to my home wifi (secured wpa2, aes/tkip) but no data is being transferred. It works after a phone reboot, but once the wifi on the phone is disabled, it won't transfer any data when it is enabled again. When connected to unsecured networks, everything works fine.
Any help is appreciated.
I am on bionix 1.3.1 and have noticed that whenever I turn my wifi on it seems to not allow me data access. My web browser will not connect to a page, market won't load, and any downloads that were in progress will fail. it's as if turning on the wifi is overriding my data connection and blocking it. It says that it's connected in the menu though. Any advice?
Thanks
Edit: I just noticed when looking at my phone stats, that when I turn on my wifi my mobile network state says disconnected, and it connects again when wifi is turned off.
Also, I have an airport extreme and a mac, perhaps that is my problem. I've scoured the internet and found a bunch of info about this problem, but haven't found anything that works yet.

Im sure someone will correct me if Im wrong but if you switch from wifi to 3g while downloading the download usually will fail because you were using only wifi to download the content and when that turned off it doesn't just switch to using 3g you have to manually retry the download using 3g .... when wifi and 3g are on wifi doesn't speed up the 3g instead it does the internet related work and the 3g does the text and phone call related work
that makes sense, thanks. as for the connection problem, it is definitely mac related. my wifi seems to work on other networks. I just need to figure out how to make it work with the airport. It's just weird to me that it says it's connected and shows signal bars, but won't access the internet.

so is the new problem that the airport extreme won't give wifi to your phone or that its not working at all
According to my phone I am connected via wifi to my network from the airport, however, the phone cannot access any internet functions when connected. When I disable wifi, it works fine with 3g or edge. It seems to be something with the settings on my airport, not the phone itself.

That's surprising maybe this means apple products are biased
I don't believe I was having this problem at first, but now when I leave a wi-fi connection at home or at work, and I try to use the data connection it doesn't work. The phone is not switching to the cell towers for some reason. I have to disable data, and sometimes wi-fi, and then re-enable data on the phone to get a connection. Or reboot
This is stock btw. Anyone else have this problem? AT&T support was no help
Edit> Just left my work network to test it out and it switched this time, so it doesn't happen every time. Which makes it more frustrating.
Mine was working just fine a couple hours ago, now I get absolutely no data. This is very frustrating.
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!
When I'm connected to Wi-Fi my Internet connection works fine. But, as soon as I'm on a call and wifi simultaneously, my Internet connection does not work even though it still shows that I'm connected to Wifi with full signal strength. I've tried different apps and different browsers, but I still get no data transfer while on a call and on Wi-Fi at the same time. Once I disconnect from the call, my Wi-Fi Internet connection starts transferring data again. If I switch to 4G instead of wifi while on a call, the data connection works fine. Any ideas?
