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.

No really people, It's the routers you are using... not the phone...
I've been trying to search about this but i can't seem to get the answer.
I heard about making new APN's but it doesn't work for me.
All it says is "access to this url is blocked" or something like that, i can't seem to use it unless i use Opera mini.
Btw i had this phone for like a month already.
thanks in advance.
More info? What kernel, android version, ROM?
2.2.2, no custom rom, 2.6.32.9-00007 is there more to the kernal?
I have the same issue once in a while. It's almost like the data is stuck on something. A reboot usually works for me. I'm on mobile so I can't see but are you with bell? Asking as I am.

Good to know I'm not the only one.
I allways blamed my carrier.
I use Signal Refresh, its on the Market. It helps sometimes. I allways end rebooting the phone.
I'm on 4.5.9.1 right now, but I've experienced this issue since 4.1.2.6.
weird i restart the phone and i still can't use the stock browser always gotta go to Opera Mini. Opera Mobile doesn't work for me either this is weird. I am on att btw should i bring it back to a att store?.

Even though your homepage is blocked on your stock browser, can you still navigate to a different website?
Like can you navigate to Google.com, or is that blocked too?...

Today I had this same issue.
No data. I tried refreshing the signal, toggling airplane mode, rebooting...phone would send or download data sometimes, but it never loads a web.
I ended using wifi to write this answer.
I hope this issue get fixed somehow.
Had same issue myself for the first time today. Never had this before. I'm on 4.5.91 beta 3, and I didn't realise at first when I lost all data that my signal bars were telling me something. On stock GB the signal bars are blue when you have data, but they turn white when you do not. I saw 3 white bars and thought I still had signal when in fact I did not. Tried rebooting, got blue bars for a couple of seconds, then white again and no data. I actually had to go outside my work, at which point I picked up a strong signal again, and I have been fine at work since. Very wierd, but it's almost like the radio lost the signal, then could not acquire it again without me being outside where it possibly had line of sight to a tower.
weird you guys only get it sometimes?
Mine has been like this since day one and it's already been a month and a half.
APN Settings.
There's a thread I posted a while back with all the APN settings for AT&T. Try to add these and see if you can't get it working.

By chance did you just start having these problems after installing the leaked version of the updated Market? Whenever I run the market, downloads are very flaky, I get a few force closes, and my connection seems to just drop out entirely, from apps, browsers, etc...
It picks back up eventually if I close the market app whichs eems odd
Just got to work this morning, went to new Market, (leaked version), and as soon as the app came up my 4 blue bars turned white..............no data again! Something with the new Market is definitely messing up data connectivity.
<edit> Rebooted phone, tested data...............working fine on everything. Start Market again, blue bars turn white, no data!
yeah, i went to manage apps and selected uninstall update to market. Rolls it back to the original.
nope checked the APN's still the same should i go back to att with this?
This is the second time this has happened to my Prime and I have no idea what could cause it. I found one other topic with a similar problem but no solution.
Anyway, last night, everything was working fine. Today, I get home and it connects to my WiFi just fine with full signal strength but when I go to my browser, YouTube or anything that uses the network, it says there's no connection. I restarted the tablet, hotspot and everything multiple times and it will work for a minute or so before stopping again. I haven't installed any new apps recently or made any changes to anything. Everything else on my WiFi network works perfectly.
The last time this happened, I did a factory reset on the tablet which didn't work at all. But the next day it decided to start working fine again. So we'll see if it decides to come back again, but is there any way to fix this when it does happen? Or preferably, prevent it from happening?
Could be having trouble getting an IP from your router.
Having said that the Prime's ability to maintain a connection is hopeless.
I have a Linksys E4200 which blasts a signal 100 metres across the road which my son can pick up.
I can be sitting in the next room and my Prime loses the signal from the same router.
The signal isn't the issue I don't think, it has full bars and other than these two problems, I've never had an issue with WiFi performance.
It's probably worth noting that the WiFi isn't COMPLETELY dead, once in a while, a webpage will come through. It's just that most of the time it just times out before it ever receives a page. I just did a factory reset again which did nothing to help. It timed out when trying to connect to my Google account...but worked on the second try. The Asus homepage timed out when I opened the browser, made it to Google but searching timed out. I was barely able to download TitaniumBackup from Play...just VERY slowly.
Asus tech support was useless as expected...they basically said to factory reset and if that doesn't work to RMA it. I guess if it's not working tomorrow, it's getting RMA'd...

At one point i was having similar issues. i had to delete the wifi network and recreate it to get it working. My buddy also had the issue with his droid and the only fix was to use a static ip.

Do you know how I can set it up as static IP? I'm using an Android phone with WiFi Tether as my hotspot.
It seems to be working fine for now...I'm posting from my Prime. But it worked yesterday for a few minutes then stopped again so it seems to be intermittant problems. I'm debating even sending it in for RMA because with my luck, it'll get there, work fine when they test it and they'll just send it back with no problems found with a couple of Prime-less weeks for my troubles.
Something weird though, my WiFi icon in the status bar is gray when it's usually blue. But it's still working for now...what does a gray icon mean?

gray means is connecting/scanning for wifi. it should only work when the icon is blue.

I don't think this is true. I believe blue just means the device is in current communication with google servers, e.g. syncing emails. The grey/blue is no indication of success of wifi connection as I understand it.

No, ROM. Completely stock, just rooted.
Bandin, I'm on a C4 and this happened to me about 20 minutes ago.
I was using my Epic 4G Touch ICS FE16 leaked rom using wifi tether - not sprint hotspot.
Watching Netflix
Then it suddenly stopped....said Netflix cannot make a connection.
I quit Netflix and go to main screen and i see my wifi connection is grayed out. So i go to speed test.
Speed test tells me i have connection issues.
I goto my phone and run speedtest and I come back A-OK with 7Mb.
I've even pushed the wifi button on my dock on/off. Disconnected tab from dock select wifi off.
Shut down netflix open it up doesn't work until i do a reboot...
But...this has only happened with my E4GT running wifi tether and stock ics fe16. haven't experienced it on my routers or my neighbors.
Anyone else having WiFi issues?
I can connect to networks but I don't actually have internet access(I have tried on multiple networks, both secured and unsecured).
Any ideas?

I have had the same issue and it resolved after rebooting. But it came back once I let the phone idle for sometime. I have to restart the wifi for it to start working again!! I don't know much about this.. but its similar to the smartsync problem with One X.. except that the wifi disconnects every time the phone idles for a few minutes! Anyone else had this problem?

Try turning WiFi security off....

I had the same problem. Fixed it by turning off wifi, unchecking the "Use DLNA if DHCP is not available" setting, then turning wifi back on.
Faulty device
I tried all of those combinations but neither worked. Took the cell to a VZW store and they replaced it. Everything is good with this one, so the old was just faulty. Are you guys using any screen protectors or cases?

When this happens, go to advanced Wifi settings and check your IP. Most likely you have a 169. address and no useful default gateway. This generally happens when DLNA IP option is enabled and your DHCP server isn't fast enough for the [bad] rom settings provided by HTC. If that's the case, the just disable that option and cycle Wifi.
im having a problem as well just got my dna yesterday and it seems when its asleep for a bit i awake it and then disconnects flashes to 4g connected back to my network but i have no activity at that moment then i have turn wifi off and on to get it back
i know its not my network no other problems with over 5 other devices and never had a problem with any phone for years
My girlfriend has this issue with her DNA. They replaced it with a brand new one, same issue. We have a wireless router that has 3 laptops, another phone, two tablets plus my friends phones and tablets when they come over, no issues for anyone. But the two DNA's we have tried, do.
Connects, and then it says it is connected but stops working after a short time. Shows that it is connected but anything that requires internet sits there spinning. Disable Wifi and it kicks over to 4G and emails and stuff starts flooding in. Go into Wifi settings and turn it back on, and it seems like it keeps turning itself on and off, like it is stuck in a loop.
Both DNA's, same exact issue. BOth stock, non-root, both have had hard resets, nothing seems to fix it. Some searching on Google says that the issue, while not common, it's all that un-common either. Seems to be an issue with the phone itself.

it really isn't a big deal. If you have to return it for any reason bricking it or reverting it to stock isn't a problem and in all the years I've been working with Android, out of tens of thousands of users that I've had exposure to, I've never once have i heard of a carrier denying warranty work because of a phone being modified. they're generally just not smart enough to even know how to check if they even care to check. The only thing that I've heard about is people walking into store and telling them that the phone has been modified. In that case they will use it against you. Anyway you're better off with a third party ROM and a better kernel for this phone.
Used FXR from the market and fixed my wifi issues.

Went back to vzw, they said that HTC knows of the problem, it is software related but no eta on the fix. Not wishing for another thunderbolt debacle, she exchanged it for a RAZR HD.

I tried it exactly how you said to, disabled the DLNA option, turned off then on my Wi-Fi, and boom, started working again. I thought my phone could have been faulty, but I bet anyone who tries this will see their issue fixed.

I'm having the same problem but the DLNA option was already turned off by default. Wifi works right after a restart and then stops working a short time later. Once it stops working, I get a blank screen when I try to view the available wireless networks, even though this screen was populated with multiple networks previously. Frequently, I get a "Process com.android.settings isn't responding" message. I had these exact issues with my first DNA and Verizon sent me a replacement. Same issues with the replacement. Anyone else experiencing this?
Hi guys I have a problem. I'm on the latest firmware of .314 and when I connect to WiFi I notice that it hangs. By hangs I mean I'll be connected but after a while I can't browse as if I'm offline though I'm connected. I'm not sure if it happens anywhere else as I only use WiFi at home and its only started recently. Maybe two weeks ago. My other devices seem fine though I hardly use them.

There seem to be some repetitive policy bugs across all xperias on 4.4.2+

Oh right. It used to work fine before. I never noticed the problem before. Unfortunately I'm unrooted

Yeah mine is exactly the same. Sometimes it happens there and then and sometimes it works for a while then stops.

ok at least I'm not the only one having the issue. hopefully it'll be fixed in the next update
It seems to be another policy bug
Sony should have fixed it in the 4.4.4 update
I'm on the .314 update firmware but still get this problem.
Many people are having this bug (myself included). The only solution that works for me is an app called wifi fixer. It shows a log regarding your wifi, and tries to fix any issues. The log shows my phone unassociates with the router every so often. That's why my phone shows I'm connected, but I don't have any Internet access. This app detects it, and reassociates with the router thus temporarily fixing the problem. I would assume 4.4.4 will fix this bug entirely though.
I've had this, too. My Z2 is currently gone for repair, because after a few days of this I couldn't even turn on WiFi anymore. Or Bluetooth.
Strangely enough (and perhaps tellingly) the same thing happens on my Xperia SP running CM11 (4.4.4). I've got both WiFi and Bluetooth turned on (because of my SmartBand) and when I try to use the browser, upload seems to be active, but there's no download. The moment I turn off Bluetooth I get data from WiFi...
Not sure if these are connected, but if they are, I doubt the update to 4.4.4 is going to fix it.
(BTW, I'm not an expert, I could be wrong. I certainly hope I am.)
I'm at my cousins house and I'm connected to WiFi without any issues. He has the sky hub. I don't. I have the old router. When I asked a sky advisor I don't know if he was trying to sales talk me or was actually being genuine but he said due to the wireless n compatibility you will have some issues. I've been connected to the WiFi here now for like an hour
