Hi! I'm having serious problems with the wifi on my phone in stock global 2.1. Two weeks or so ago it started to not connect (or better say not initialize) to wifi, giving "Unable to start wifi..." message. Sometimes it connected and a while after it wouldn't let me continue browsing, connecting to Market or refreshing Facebook widget, although it still being as connected.
I decided first to restore my phone to defaults, but that did not work. Then I reflashed using X10 Flash Tool, but again with the same problems. So after that I decided to flash using PC Companion (thinking that this may miraculously resolve all). Now I'm here suffering from an "unable to connect" phone.
I've taken a log using dmesg just after this problems have come up. maybe there could be an answer to this. I'f there's a better way to log this, please tell me.
Any advice?
"2.815328] Using very old AMSS modem firmware."
Is the issue just at home or out and about?
Sorry but I don´t understand what you mean. Looking at that log it seems that something goes wrong and it shuts down just after trying to init:
"<4>[ 51.871484] ar6000_readwrite_file: file /sys/devices/platform/msm_sdcc.2/detect_change filp_open error -2"
Also, you can see this more clearly from:
"<4>[ 6163.536082] Normal WIFI mode." (line 2361)

I don't understand what it means either, which is why I asked if it's just at home or out and about.
Doh! Sorry, it happens everywhere. I've tried in open and secured wifis.
Hi, this looks like the issue I have, did you had any luck fixing it?

Hi, yesterday I managed to have wifi working for at least an hour, when it normally lasts few minutes before it freezes. It was set to "never" in the "disable wifi policy", so I went to dinner and when I was back it was disconnected. Then it was not capable of getting connection again.
I have Blade Wifi Fix installed and it seems to do something. Anyway you could try to set wifi to static ip, let it connect and wait until freezes, then set it to automatic ip and reconnect. It worked for me, at least for a while. I may try again and post a logcat.
Anyway there's another threat here (see second page) where I have some more info about the problem.
Hey any luck figuring out the problem? Im still without Wi-Fi
So sometimes when I'm connected trough wifi my whatsapp won't send or receive messages. I then have to turn off my wifi , receive/send all messages and turn on wifi before it will work again. Does anyone have an idea?..

WHAT firmware and what version of whatsapp are you using?
Is your wifi kicking out a good signal?

I have the exact same thing, no matter what Rom, firmware, kernel, version of Whatsapp, router, modem, whatsoever. It sometimes just happens, no idea why.
When this happens I have a good signal. I'm on 2.3.6, and have the latest whatsapp version.

What did the Whatsapp developers say when you contacted them?
yeah these issues still exist... got it now on my device.
got I9100 on latest cm10 nightly (8th Sept.) with latest whatsapp version. and if you read all comments on the market you'll see that many ppl got these problems. sad
same issue here with i9300 stock ics
it works only on mobile data and when i turn the wifi on Whatsapp doesn't work
tired of deleting and reinstalling but same issue !!!
BTW my device is not rooted ..
i have been using what's app for good 4-5 months now and today i just got this issue. whats app won't work on wifi unless i turn it off and turn 4g on. i tried uninstalling and deleting the folder and did a clean install. it still won't work.
Just hit me last night
Got the same prob since last night!!!
tired to uninstall and reinstall it + boot my device million times and still won't work over wifi but my damn slow edge network!!
i have sent a email to whatsapp costumer's service and still waiting for their reply
These are issues related to the whatsapp Servers or sth. For me it works again. Without reinstall and so on. Just wait ... and tell them bout the problems
I've had this same problem for at least 6 months... doesn't work on WiFi but is fine on data...
What seems to happen is when you turn on WiFi it works fine for a while... but then stops getting or sending messages completely... just sometimes randomly it may start working again... say if you have lots of messages backed up to receive... at times it may start working again... but that means asking you people to bombard you with messages and still its not a sure shot solution...
Quite annoying I must say... especially considering reception is really bad in lots of areas and WiFi is the only way...
WIFI Whatsapp
Sort of same problem here, when i am on wifi and whatsapp and my phone is on there is no problem receive and send.
But when the phone is on standby after 10 to 15 min no more messages receiving, wifi is on.
when i turn the phone on and open whatsapp the messages pop in....
On data without wifi no problem.
WIFI setting always on.
Same problem buy not consistent. I have found a kind of fix, if your rom supports it, I use the long press back to force close function, then restart usually solves it. Alternately, pressing home, then swiping it off the task switcher sometimes helps too. Sometimes all you have to do is wait it out.
Was this problem solved in any of the updates. It appears as though I'm having this problem on one of my phones. It's the stock ROM with great wifi signal.
EDIT: I realize this is the S2 forum and my problem is an the optimus, but I am inclined to believe this is a whatsapp problem

The same problem started happening in the past couple of days. I a using CM 9.1. I enabled the Kill Application on long press of back button and you're right--After I did that and launched WhatsApp, the waiting messages (with the clock icon) went through and I got a check mark, then two.
Weird. All the other apps are working fine with Wi-Fi.
Same problem on my HTC sensation

I travel a lot and i was in India Last week and this week i am back in germany and it suddenly stopped working on saturday.
Any Solutions would be really appreciated.
Try this! Worked for me !!
I used VPN which worked for me . But i wanted a permanent solution. So I upgraded the modem firmware. Now it is working fine
Sorry to post here, but Im facing the same problem on my galaxy s5. I've tried a lot of things and nothing seems to fix it. I've changed my wifi router and the problem persists.
anyone came with a solution?
The problem is on the wifi router. I changue my router two days ago and i hadnt no problem with the old one.
If you retry to download pictures, it gonna works, but its really slow. Try to changue your wifi router to a newone
***********SOLUTION*****************
Guys,
I have also faced the same problem and here is the solution:
There is a Problem which started on 10th November. BSNL has blocked whatsapp.. BSNL users can not use whatsapp through wifi or dongle.
But there is a solution for this.. :
Install " vpn one click" or "Easy Surf VPN" app
Connect to India server
Or any country
Once ur done with this, u can use whatsapp and all the other sites blocked by BSNL
Enjoy Whatsapping

HI to all, I am having a weird issue, I have both devices (listed in my Signature) which happen to give me a No connection - retry error every time I go to check my email, or even if I go to the Inbox folders such as Forums, I am all the time receiving No Connection Retry.
- I have tried clearing cache and data ,restarting, email shows up fine, after a couple of seconds I get the no connection again.
- I also did a full wipe on my tablet and have done everything from scratch practically, a couple of seconds later I receive the no connection error.
- I have also tried a different wi-fi connection, and also tried a 3G connection and the issue still persists.
I am really at a loss with this as it is really annoying; is anyone having similar issues or might suggest another work around for this please?
Thanks for any help.
Same thing happening to me, and lots of other people too it seems. Please update if you find a solution!

Hi there its been a while now since i have been having this problem, since gmail's latest update actually, i do not have these errors anymore, and i never used droidwall or anything else.
Thanks.
I notice after the 5.1.1. update recently. My phone starts to overheat (severely) you can cook bacon on it. I have done factory reset, wipe cache partition and still the overheating issue.
2nd, battery drains very fast. Before, i use my phone for more than 24 hrs. now maybe less than 16 hrs.
anyone had the same issues?
Try updating your prl and profile. It sounds like a searching for network issue.
I have another problem after last update. I can't connect to internet. I connect, via wifi or mobile data, and every page I open says "Connection refused". Even whatsapp, even chrome, even everything. So I restart the phone and works for 1 minute more or less, and then the same. So I downgraded to first 5.1.1 and works perfectly.
So strange

Hey there. I`m having similar problems with wifi since last 5.1.1 upgrade. How did you do to downgrade to the first 5.1.1? Thanks a lot!
Hey guys! So first of all I'm a newbie in the most recent technology, so if I said something that does not make any sense, please bear with me
Basically, I've updated my Galaxy Tab S3 a week ago to Android version 8.0.0/Samsung Experience version 9.0, and something VERY STRANGE happened.
So my Wifi connection set up, it says that I'm connected to my network but it has no internet. And here is the chicky part, I can actually browse online, download and update my apps even use FB app, BUT when I try to link and sign in on my OneDrive Cloud it says that I need internet connection.
I have no idea what is going on, so if anyone can please help me with this particular issue
PS- before the update i had no issues with internet connection with my tablet. By the way all my other devices are connected to the network with no issues.
Thanks in advance!
I have the same problem. I tried resetting many times and still doesn't work. I was hoping another firmware update would fix the problem, and yesterday I was happy to see a new update with google patch Oct. 2018. I was excited and updated the firmware, but still have internet problem. So I tried factory reset the Tab S3- bad decision! Now I can't even get pass the "Agree to the Terms and Conditions" section since it says I have no internet!
