I can't seem to connect to wifi. The phone keeps cycling between connecting, Obtaining IP address and Disconnected.
Anyone else having this problem? Any advice?
Are you connecting to a WPA enabled router? I've had issues on my Droid with certain routers (D-Link for one)... If I switch the router to WEP, it will connect fine.
For a phone to not support WPA is pretty lame. I picked up the TB today but I am at work. Hopefully it will connect to my home wifi network, I will update you on my results!
Had a similar problem on one of my TBolts...power cycle resolved it.
I can log onto my WPA network with no issues. Maybe bad password?
Well, I do use WEP and it will not connect. I turned off WEP just to see and it connects fine when I leave the network open.

Mine seems to be working fine, just connected to home network - I don't get a wireless icon up in the notification bar, but it goes green on my toggle.
Hi, Running VeganTab 5.1, and using a palm pre over freetether for wifi access, secure with wpa2. For some reason I can't connect with the phone until I connect with my computer. For example, I can try to connect using the Gtab, and it sits at "obtaining IP address" forever, bounces back and forth between trying to connect and disabling the connection. If I us my computer and connect to the network, the computer connects, then blam, the tab immediately connects. Clearly its a problem obtaining an IP address, but I'm not sure why it can't obtain it on its own, but waits for another device to connect. I'm not a networking guy, and I've only had the tab up and running for a week or so. I travel alot, hence the tab. Any ideas out there?
Thanks

Adding on to my own post, I found if I connect w/o security enabled (WPA2) it connects just fine. anyone else have a problem connecting to a phone or mobile device with WPA2 encryption/authentication?
Basically, the problem is I can't connect to my home WiFi initially when powering up my Gtablet. It can see my network but when I try to connect it just says Obtaining IP address and eventually doesn't work. If I restart my router I can connect no problem, but if I turn off or restart my Gtablet It will not connect.
So basically I have to restart my router if I want to connect to my Gtablet.
I'm running CWM 8 and Vegan Gingerbread 7.0 harmony
My router is netgear, I can check the model if it's necessary.
Everything works fine except this internet problem.
I have DX that was recently rooted with the Droid3 root process. I have updated to .604 update.
My wifi was working before with my Linksys router with MAC filtering. Now, when I connect to wifi, it turns on, grabs the IP address, connects then I can count to 15 and it will turn off. I've searched and cannot seem to find any resolution.
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
