[Q] Internet connection problems - Galaxy Tab 10.1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Hi there
Okay i have a galaxy note 10.1. Im fairly new to it. I am having problems browsing the web with it. I can connect to my home wifi but i cannot browse the web.
I have looked everywhere for help and i still cant seem to solve the problem. I can browse the internet at a friend's house but just not my home router.
I have checked all the settings, restarted my note and my router and i dont know what else to do.
Please give some suggestions

You are in the wrong forum. Try here.
You will also need to provide MUCH more information. Are you running a custom ROM on your device? Or is it stock? Is there anything else you have done to it? Did it ever work at home?
I can tell you straight away that if you post the same type of question in the correct forum, you will likely be ignored. My advice would be to provide as much information about your tablet and what you've done to it recently as possible. Good luck!

[Q] wifi connected but can not connect

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

[Q] BlueTooth Tethering

Dear Members, I have searched and read several threads on this, but don't seem to find the exact answer I am looking for. I have an unlocked HTC Aria (AT&T Branded) currently running on Android 2.1. I am not particularly interested in changing the ROM as the phone does what I need (Calls, Messages, E-Mails, and Web Browsing). However I would like to also be able to do BlueTooth Tethering over to an Archos 70 IT tablet that I use for all the rest. I notice that the apps that would do this, all require ROOT. My question is, if I can ROOT my phone ONLY in order t be able to install any of these BT Tethering Apps? Do I still have to install a ROM, or will ROOTING not affect anything else?
I appreciate you comments and any suggestions that you might have.
Thank you very much.
No you can root and leave the stock rom in place.

Thanks mtnlion!
Ok! So I rooted my device and installed WIFI Tethering. The program does start on my Aria and the wi-fi signal is picked up by my notebook, however it shows limited connectivity (basically no internet). Unless someone has any feedback, I would now assume that it is an issue of my phone not connecting to the network, however I have tried the web browser on my phone and it does work, I also tried BT Tethering but both devices will show "paired but not connected", and can't get passed this step, so any comments again will be much appreciated.
Thanks again,

Wifi hotspot channel 6..can this be changed?

Have looked and looked, cant find anything. I am hoping the collective genius of XDA can tell me how to do this please?
Thanks
SST
Can you please clarify more your question sir?
If you mean changing the channel of your current Access Point (aka modem), all you need to do is to go to your modem settings and change the channel.
You can search for the manual of your modem, and normally it should guide you how to do that.
I don't know even why this question is here, i don't see any relation to Android devices.
Good luck anyway
I use my Galaxy S2 as a wifi hotspot, I have no other source of broadband.
As far as I can discover it will only transmit on channel 6. Problem is my nearest neighbour has just installed a router that is also on channel 6 and my wifi is now having dropouts. I would like to try different channels to see if things improve.

[Q] Wi-Fi direct on aokp

Hi.
Searched everywhere, couldn't find anything.
Maybe you Gurus here could help out.
How could I use the wi-fi direct functions on an aokp milestone1 rom?
Neither stream music, and movies to my TV, nor sending files via wi-fi direct. doesn't work for me.
...There's an wi-fi direct option in WLAN Settings. But doesn't show anything.
Thx for your help.
regards

Too bad.
If someone tell's us 'it's not working' would be good, so we can stop searching.

Hey guys I found this link and thought it may at least give you some closure(or hope) on the wifi direct issue:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1889145 (scroll down to Idan73's post)
I've been searching for a couple days myself but I guess it's just disabled currently in CM10 and AOKP roms. Wifi direct is an overlooked feature but I find it to be very useful; much better than bluetooth(like 1000x better). Hopefully it should be implemented soon after devs figure out how, though I won't hold my breath. I'm using JellyBam rom atm and it's the only thing missing in my opinion
Edit:
If you want a similar functioning app that is just as good as wifi direct(acts almost the exact same way), you could try this :https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.floriandraschbacher.fastfiletransfer&hl=en
The app uses WiFi Tethering to establish a connection between two devices without internet, so effectively it acts just like WiFi direct and is probably the best alternative we'll get. Works on older phones too such as the galaxy S and the receiving phone doesn't need the app installed to receive the file, which is a plus and makes it better than wifi direct in that regard. Gave it a 5 star rating on the play store in the hopes that app development is continued and the app is not abandoned. Just found out about it otherwise I would have linked it earlier (google searches save lives lol). Hope it's helpful to you guys.
Thanks for your words.
Tried out a lot of things.
But now I'm back on my own cooked deodexed stock rom
Wifi direct work fine on AOKP, but only with this app here. For me, work fine on Galaxy s1 + Galaxy s2, both running Rom ICS AOKP M6.
Or, you can use this excellent app here, which is as wifi direct but without wifi direct.

[q] error 67????

Do any of you guys have a solution to "Error Code 67"? when i try to share my internet via "Bluetooth" i get this error. can someone help me out with this. i'm going on a long trip and i'm trying to connect the kids tablet to my phone. PLEASE HELP {Galaxy S3}
also, is anyone having issues tethering via Bluetooth with the S3? would rooting my phone make this work?
No idea about that error, but have you tried Wi-Fi tethering instead? I find that the best way of sharing my internet.

Try as suggested to user WiFi tether instead. Some error 67's are due to connection establishment.. make sure both devices have Bluetooth on and if given a connection code to punch it in promptly. Also if you can please post Q's in the Q&A section, it helps the mods with keeping the forums organized. Thanks

I get that same issue. Funny thing is that I *do* sometimes connect and tether the connection quite well. Yet, most times, I get that "Error Code 67". I haven't really pursued it much, other than now when I found this thread. I, too, would be interested in a solution. Good Luck!
