After connecting to 3 different wireless connections and none of then working, I'm concluded that my wifi isn't working.
I go to settings and check wifi on, it finds the network, connects, but I lose my entire data connection for the duration wifi is turned on!
Is anyone else having this problem?
Sent from my Samsung Vibrant
I'm having the same issues with the wifi. I downloaded wifi analyzer to make sure I was on a good channel. Set it to the best channel and my signal strength is 100%. I will be able to connect for a little bit but for some reason it goes in and out, connection unsuccessful, yada yada yada. I messed with all the troubleshooting solutions for my router (dgl-4300) but nothing works. If anyone can reply with a fix or point me in the right direction, that would be greatly appreciated.
Same Issues
Any help is greatly appreciated. Data working fine when on 3G but Wifi = no data. Connection is fine, IP is fine.
UPDATE: It's working again on my home WIFI. Will have to see if it's just an "at work" issue. Hopefully IT can assist.
Same problem with Verizon MiFi
I have had ZERO problems connecting to the Linksys access points we have setup at my home and my office, but recently my work provided me with a Verizon MiFi (as well as an iPad - don't hate ) and I've had MANY issues trying to get my Vibrant to consistently connect to the MiFi.
My iPad, Motorola Droid, and Laptop have no issues connecting to the MiFi.
On my Vibrant I'm running the 2.1 stock ROM with root & the latest ClockWork recovery.
It will "connect" to the MiFi (I use quotes because I can't really tell - it AT LEAST receives an IP). But I'm unable to send and receive data. I can't even browse to the MiFi's internal configuration page .
To FINALLY get it to connect consistently I have to do some kind of random combo toggling the wifi off and back on and then turning the MiFi off and back on and it will EVENTUALLY connect and stay connected with data flowing freely.
I've customized my configuration a little bit on the MiFi so I'm going to reset it back to factory and not change the config to see if it makes a difference - because at lunch I was able to connect to my boss' MiFi with no problem. I'm thinking it may either be the phone or the mifi...
I've connected to about 10 different wireless networks with NO issues, at all. The connectivity is actually much better than my G1/Nexus.
HOWEVER, last night at a bar I was connected to their wifi, strong signal, but I was not able to use Data. I was in a very poor reception area for T-Mobile... don't think that could be an issue, bit the other places I use wi-fi that is not the case.
I just chalked it up as a fluke and moved on. Not sure what was wrong.
I had this happen to me today. I just rebooted and it went away. Toggling wifi didn't help, but I only tried it once. The phone reboots so quick I figured I'd give it a try.
I have set the phone up manually with static ip. Seems like its a problem with the dhcp.

I got a wifi problem on my defy with CM11 Android 4.4.
At home I can connect to my routers wifi perfect.
But in school I can't connect to any network. The school has two available networks, one with a password and one without password that authorizes you through the browser.
I'm unable to connect to either of these. They have full wifi signal, but when I click connect they immediately drop to 1 "bar" and disconnect. After the disconnect I got full wifi signal again, but when I connect to drops to zero immediately.
Any idea on how to fix this? Maybe some of the network drivers having problems with networks with a lot of users?
Suddenly WiFi Hotspot stopped while I was in CM11. I upgraded to CM12 still the same issue. When switch on wifi hotspot nothing happens. Previously it use give a notification saying that Tethering or WiFi hotspot active. But now nothing happens, no notification. Wifi works as usual but not WiFi Hotspot. I badly need a solution. Please anyone help me.

Same issue here. Im using CM12.1, then I installed Orbot and runs as service. Portable hotspot did run OK with VPN running. This morning after I reboot my device, suddenly other device can't connect to hotspot (very long connecting progress). After I remove Orbot, it fixed.
Another solution can be read HERE that may comply to your issue.
Ok, so just as the title states I am having trouble with my AT&T Unlocked S7 Edge model SM-G935A
What happens is if I try to turn on my WiFi it starts looking for networks but it wont show any, it'll just keep spinning looking for them.
I know its not an antenna problem because if I go to my hotspot and turn it on, then go back to WiFi settings and turn my wifi on it will work as normal. Then I can turn my hotspot off and keep using the WiFi.
So antenna is OK. But its a pain in the A to do this everytime I want to connect to a wifi network. Specially considering it should just work.
I am running Android Nougat. Any suggestions?
Thank you!
Since the last official update I'm always having problems when I turn on my wifi hotspot to use my other phone with the Zenfone Zoom Data.
When I turn it on it doesn't work, my connected devices show "no connection" when connected to the wifi hotspot, I manage to get it working always swearing while I reset the wifi and data settings, I turn on and off the data and the wifi hotspot. Sometimes I have to go to the VPN and re-tap on the correct VPN in use (that is already selected) and then the connection will stat working on my connected devices. Often I have to repeat those steps many times.
The other weird thing is that when I'm using the Zoom S as wifi hotspot, the connection on the phone itself stop working. It works only on the connected devices.
Never had those problems with previous android phones I had (several Nexus, a Note 3 and an Ulefone Power). I use the wifi hotspot really often since I still use my Note 3 and this is really frustrating.
EDIT Maybe I posted this in the wrong section. My mistake sorry. If some mod can move this I'll be glad.
try adding ",dun" to the access point types under the APN settings. I had a similar issue that fixed it.
Last week I used my Asus 3 Zoom to give my laptop internet by Wifi hotspot. Worked flawlessly.
