[Q] My Tablet has limited conectivity via Wi-fi - Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Hello,
My Android tablet Ideatab a2107 got a problem. It connects to my wireless LAN and browses to web but it has limited connection :crying:. It doesn't connect to Google Services.
The problem started yesterday when I was using Freedom app (bad choice) and I changed my GMT, the problem began. I uninstalled it, set my GMT normally, shut it down, and even I restored it. I doesn't work, I connect to other networks and it doesn't work.
I have read about changing DNS and modify my network settings but it didn't work.
PD: All other devices have a normal connection on the web.
Can someone help me
Thanks
(Sorry about my poor English)

[Q] Wifi and bluetooth problems

Hello everyone,
I'm new android user! I'm delighted whit it on x10 mini pro. But I came across a few problems:
My first problem is with WiFi. I don't have wifi router, but I made my laptop to work as a virtual router for wifi, so other computers and mobile phones are free to join my network via WiFi.
However my X10mini is having hard time detecting my wifi network, and when it does it won't connect on it! It doesn't have that problem on real routers for wifi. (My second phone, Samsung jet, can connect to my wifi network without poblem). I have tried with "WiFi Finder" but the problem is same.
I should probably mention that bluetooth has the same problem. I can detect another phone but I can't make any transfer of data between the phones!
What should I do?
P.S. I bought the phone a few days ago and the android software version is 2.1
for the problem with bluethooth try to see in the option, there is one abuot visibility, check it
... sorry for english im italian XD

i was having same problem but this worked for me
Hi androidx10
Your WiFi problem could depend on the wifi network, stock firmware cannot connect to "ad hoc" networks.
Try to install apps like "wifi buddy" from the market, it can help you to scan networks and identify ad-hoc links.
For the bluetooth usually there are no problems sending files but receiveng them.
Try to install from the market apps like "bluetooth file transfer" or "astro bluetooth" to exchange files with other devices.
Good luck and enjoy your X10
hello i just bought a sony ericsson xperia x10 mini pro (u20i firmware version: 2.1-update 1) last week and I can't use it because everytime I insert my sim and then surfing the internet it gives me extra charge even if I am connected to a wireless network. and when I check the remaining balance it's 0.00 data traffic is turned off. What should I do? I want to know what are the applications that gives me extra charge. Do I have to root my phone first to delete those applications? Please help me I dont know what to do.

[Q] connected to wlan but no internet access

Hi Folks,
I have an issue with internet access with my Archos 70IT(H) (rooted FW 2.3.81 +rw). I recently moved into another flat-share and wanted to access the wlan there.
the network set up fond the network in question - no issues. the pw was accepted as well. finally the connection was established - so far so good.
Then I tried to connect the internet - noting. non of the internet applications worked. The network connection was still active (at least the sign indicated this). I tried to reboot - same issue.
now the funny bit: I tried another network - my archos worked fine. and I had no issues before.
I went back to the network I have trouble with and established the wlan connection with my laptop - no problems at all. click - done.
I have absolutely no idea what it is. Obviously it looks like an issue with the rooter but what can it be? the laptop connected without any problems? The only idea I have right now is a firewall is blocking the access of my archos.
Does anyone know what ports does the Archos use to connect to the internet (I would assume the same as a laptop, but...)?
What else could it be? Anyone any idea?
Thanks in advance!!!!!!!!!!

Help with this very frustrating wifi problem on my Tablet S!

Hi,
I got a new Sony Tablet S a few weeks back and I have this really weird problem.
As soon as I on Wifi and connect to my college network, it connects fine and webpages open as expected.
But after a minute or so, all data transfer stops even though I am connected to the network. Initially I thought
it was a hardware issue with my tablet but when I went to my nearest McDonalds and connected to their connection, everything
worked fine and there was no interruption in the data transfer.
I tried a couple of other hotspots around town and they seemed to work fine.
So, now obviously its a problem with my college network. The funny thing is that my laptop, my cellphone and about a thousand other devices
connected to the same network work just fine and do not stop exchanging data all of a sudden.
I have tried various apps available on the Play store but none helped.
My (geeky) friend told me that the issue may be some sort of interference between the routers (Cisco Aironet series, I think), as every floor in my hostel has 4 routers, but he could not give a solution. I have also referred the problem to my system administrator but he too could not come up with a solution.
If anyone has a solution to this, please help!
Thanks in advance
Really strange.
I have a rule that occasionally works, strange probelms can be sorted out by a restart, if not, a reset mostly helps.
Can I suggest resetting your tab if not done yet!
Sent from my Desire HD using XDA
Did both. Doesn't help.
you need to re-flash the wifi modules, which comes with the kernel usually. But I dont think that possible at the moment.
Can you elaborate?
I have the same problem with my tablet, and when I called Sony for technical support, they said that the tablet is not compatible with the router I have. Which in my honest opinion dont think is the problem.
But as a way around, what I do is turn off the wifi for few seconds and then turn it back on.
This way the problem gets resolved.
I hope it helps you.
I have exactly the same problem, unfortunately the problem is with the wifi in my home, my sony tablet connect and disconnects, or it stop transmitting after a while, but other devices (my htc phone, my tablet, ipad, iphone) doesn't have this problem.
and as you said, when I go to other places the tablet works fine.
Someone said me that the tablet is not compatible with the motorola router of my ISP
I've been searching but there is no solution, by now I turn off and turn on the wifi every time I lost internet
Thanks people, but this is hardly a solution. It means I need to turn on and turn off the wifi every 60 seconds to browse the internet. Bye bye downloads, buffering videos and installing apps through the play store
Is the Sony Tablet S the only tablet in the world that is incompatible with routers? Then Sony should make sure that its clearly listed on their website that routers from major companies are not compatible with our Tablet
I solved the problem .. at last for me,
1 - turn off wifi.
2- in accounts - turn off "auto connect"
3- turn on wifi ( test if work )
4- reconect the accounts
too simple .. but works , try it..
I am sorry but its not working (that is if by auto connect, you meant auto sync)
Are you sure you are telling the solution to the problem I mentioned or something else?
Hi, I was suffering exactly the same problem and it boiled down that was a compatibility issue with the router. Unfortunately I could not find any other solution but replace the router itself!

Looks like I have to do the same. except I cant make my institute change their routers
What kind of encryption are you using on your router? Try disabling the encryption and see if the problem persists.
Also, what channel are you broadcasting on? It could be a highly populated channel, try changing that if you can.
I don't know what options are available through your routers configuration page.
I will enqure with my system admin and get back.
Meanwhile, I got a workaround to this problem. There is a freeware called MyPublicWifi which creates a virtual hotspot on my computer. This hotspot works fine and I can share my router's internet through this, even though it means I need to keep my PC on while browsing on my tablet.
I have experienced exactly the same problem since I bought the tablet. The router I have at home is a Buffalo WZR-HP-G300NH2. After a very long time trial-and-error, I have found a solution to it.
(1) Router setting: Force to set the 300Mbps mode of Buffalo router to 20MHz, not auto nor 40MHz. Some routers may display 150Mbps mode.
(2) Tablet setting: Settings->Wifi->advanced->Wi-fi disconnect policy, set to "Never"
You may try it and I think this will resolve the wifi disconnection problem. As for the reason, I think it is related to 11n because I have not found any problem with 11a/b/g router yet.
Hope this helps!!

[SOLVED] Galaxy Ace connected to Wi-Fi but no internet.

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

VPN direct connection - problem

Hello everyone,
I have problem with VPN software in Android. I wrote "Android" because the same problem appear on every phone with android which I've tried. I have server with which I connect via VPN, server has two internet connections. One is ethernet connection via router (local internet provider), second one is mobile internet. Both solutions use static IP.
Android does not has any problem with connection via router, however in case of mobile internet there is no connection. The program show "Connecting..." and after few seconds there is information "failure".
Settings of those connection are very similar. Anyone know how to solve it ? I know that my description is probably a little bit chaotic but I'm willing to explain everything because it is quite important.
