Hey all,
I'm having issues connecting to ANY Wi-Fi network now. I used to be able to connect to my private network and any public networks easily. Now, whenever I try and connect, the phone hangs on "Obtaining IP Address" and it eventually disconnects. I've tried:
-Using a static ip
-Turning on and off Wi-Fi and forgetting the remembered networks.
-Rebooting, airplane mode, factory reseting
And still, the phone times out on trying to get an IP. Is there something obvious I'm missing?
Try flashing a stock rom. If that doesn't work then maybe the phone needs replacing.

Hey Guys....I'm new to this forum, and it's already been a great help to keep my wizard going!
I have a new problem, that I'm not sure how to approach...I'm using IPL/SPL 3.08 + 2.71 Radio on the T-Mobile version of 5. (I'm at&T tho...)
Whenever I try to wi-fi into my home network, it finds my network, and tries to connect, but never gets an IP address assigned to it. I know it's not a hardware issue, because I've connected to other networks in the past.
I'm pretty sure there's a configuration problem some where (I'm using WPA security, but I couldn't connect even when the wireless was wide open) but I don't know if the configuration problem is on my router or on my phone. Any ideas??
Thanks for the awesome forum!!
Can you get hold of a laptop or another wireless device and see if this connects to your kit at home?
If it does then you know you have a problem with the phone, if not then it's the wireless router.
Yeah, I have a couple other wireless devices that connect wirelessly to the network already + I connected my phone to my parent's wireless a few hours ago...so it's gotta be the router, but I don't know what I have to change. Any ideas?
I myself have the same problem, I can connect, and MAYBE look at one or two pages, my phone then loses the IP and never re-leases it from the router....I aswell have other wireless devices that connect fine(such as this laptop that im typing this on lol)
Phone specs:
Cingular 8125
TNT 6.1 Pro/with TouchFREE
IPL/SPL 2.26.olip
SIM Unlocked
I have the same problem. phone connects and gets an IP but as soon as i try to go on the Internet, it stops working and then eventually tries to dial a connection.
I wonder if a static IP address would work for these issues?
Could you update the phone's Wifi profile for your router to a static address instead of a DHCP address then configure the router not to lease the phone's IP address to any other device.
any idea where to set static IP/DHCP on the wizard running 5.1?
I woke up this morning with my nook color not being able to connect to my wifi network. I have had no problems before and haven't change anything. When I try to connect to my network it just goes through "obtaining IP address" then goes to "remembered" then "disabled". Rooted with one of the nightly builds. Any help would be appreciated.
Try deleting all of your wifi connections.
Reboot the router. I had the same thing 20 minutes ago.

It might be a problem with the router itself, or the passphrase you're entering could be incorrect? Please try connecting the phone to another WiFi hotspot when available and see this works.
the problem might be with the router because i was able to connect to the router where my dad works, but my home one it won't.
I use belkin router and not sure how to fix it anymore though
Some basic troubleshooting questions:
1. Can your phone connect to other routers? If so, are they secured or open?
2. Can other devices connect to your router reliably?
3. Is the error actually that it fails to obtain an IP or that it fails to connect or authenticate? IP address assignment happens after successfully authenticating with wireless security, so if the actual error is that it can't obtain an IP, that implies that something is wrong with your DHCP configuration, likely on the router.
My Wifi suddenly stopped working on my Nexus 4 few days ago. When i try to connect it to my Wifi at home it keeps saying "Obtaining IP Address" Or it would say "Avoided due to poor internet connection". For some reason every other device in the house seems to work with it.
Anyone have any ideas?

Go to the wifi settings and untick the "avoid poor connection box", maybe that helps. But it may be a case that there is something wrong with the way the DHCP server on the router handles the new connection.
I would troubleshoot as follows:
1. Go to Wifi settings on phone and untick the box.
2. Go to the connection screen and remove the saved wifi connection.
3. Reboot the phone.
4. While the phone is rebooting you could also reboot the router
5. Search for the network and connect to it.
It would be helpfull if you could say what rom are you using, if you ever had this problem with other routers, etc
Hello. Today my dad bought this old Alcatel One Touch 985 phone using Android 2.3.6 (maybe there is an update but I can't get it cuz there is no god damned internet) and I have been trying for 3 hours now to connect this thing to the internet. I am using Connectify Pro which is a Wi-Fi hotspot software since my router is broken. Everything works fine and dandy with my Nexus 7 but the Alcatel doesn't want to connect. It starts with "Obtaining IP" -> "Authenticating" -> "Disconnected" and then repeats. I am using a WPA2 authentication. I hope you guys can help me fix this problem, thanks in advance!
Hi
Have you tried connecting with an open connection?
Have you tried re-entering the SSID (if the router isn't broadcasting the SSID) and password? Also, I've seen it before where the first time I enter the password it doesn't connect for whatever reason, even if I re-enter the password itself (and verify I'm entering it correctly). Then forgetting the connection and re-connecting works. It's pretty annoying.
Hi there,
Have you tried using a static ip address? change the settings on your device and use static ip instead of dhcp. thanks.
I was having this issue and found that it was the routers fault. I turned off the router by unplugging it for 30seconds then plugging it back in.
