WiFi problem, dissconects all the time...

Hi!
Bought a Tattoo for my kid and now we got a huge bill because the wifi seems to dissconects itself all the time and she is not that good checking the wifi state.
Is this a known problem or what can i do about it?
Using a Netgear N router and WEP (must use WEP because of my stupid XBox that can't handle any other security).
Please let me know how to fix this so she can use the phone!

I have this problem too, and as I found it's a known problem on net.
I'm using wifi fixer, which running as a service and reconnect everytime the connection drops. It's not a solution, but make things better.

Hi!
Thanks for the info, is that an app i can find on the Android's app place?
he he he.... did not notice your link Sorry!
Looks to me that HTC is screwing things up even with Android devices...

This phone realy sucks!
Me again!
I've struggled with this phone a couple of hours now but i can't get the wifi to work now.
I press connect to my network, i have entered the wep password but a couple of secs later it says disconnected...
What can i do about this?

I have the same problem - Is it best to configure the Wi Fi settings like IP address etc ? And if so whats the best settings for it?

I've managed to get it to connect now, removed an app that kept track of wifi traffic. But it seems to me that Tattoo does not use wifi when i use YouTube for example. Checked my providers homepage for traffic that we pay for and they had traffic for today. And the phone has not been used all day until my test this evening.
Is there a way to tell the phone to use just the wifi connection when using youtube app or explorer...?

install apn on-off when you use wifi, just disable APN connection.
then if you need umts/gprs is 1click enabled

Thanks, this sounds easy enough for my kid to handle when she wants to use the wifi and to be sure that it uses the wifi and not the expensive data from our phone company.
Thanks again! Will try this!

[Q] Wifi hotspot: No internet connection?

Ok, I couldn't find anything on this..
I just got my mytouch 4g, unrooted. I opened up the wifi hotspot, and on my computer I clicked connect. It connected, but I have no internet connectivity. (That's what it says) I get the little error sign next to the wifi signal bars on my Windows 7 laptop. Just two days ago I was using a mytouch slide hotspot and it worked fine. How can I fix this!?

Give you are connected to the correct SSID and you've entered the password correctly.
either root the phone or buy the tethering package.

That isn't helping. It connected fine to a myTouch Slide. Anyone else wanna chime in? It connects to the hotspot, but it gets limited internet access.

I don't know what to tell you. EVERYONE else who has tried to use this feature it has worked correctly. So it's either T-Mobile blocking you, you are doing something wrong, or there is something messed up with the Kernel... the only other two things i can suggest is download VISIONary.apk and the Google wi-fi tether code from Here . And temp rooting to wi-fi tether your phone.
or
USE PDA net and a bluetooth dongle.... but you will not be able to access https sites after a trial period.

This had actually happened to me too...
1. Make sure you pwr off phone, power back on. Dont start wifi app.
2. Install useragent add on on your computer browser, change useragent to android or ie mobile or etc...
3. Delete all forms of stored wireless networks from your computer.
4. Turn on phone wifi tethering app, connect manually. Make sure ssid password are correct.
Try that?

[Q] Upgraded MS2 Froyo to Gingerbread, now Mobile Hotspot doesn't work any more?

Has anyone got Mobile Hotspot to work on their MS2 after the upgrade to Gingerbread?
I've been having problems - Tte MS2 properly assigns an IP address to PCs that try to connect to it over WiFi, but the connection doesn't seem to go past my MS2 to the Internet. Same thing whether USB or WiFi.
I'm on T-mobile on the USA - could that have something to do with it, some kind of authentication is being performed now (that wasn't being performed on Froyo?)

I had this problem too.
Now I use the app "barnacle wifi tether" and it works fine.
I'm from Brazil...

Thanks for the suggestion. If I root my phone I'll consider that option. Has anyone found any other fixes? I tried playing with the APN settings as suggested by some online, but it doesn't seem to help.

Usb sharing is f*d up - dnsmasq does not launches properly and phone gives no IP in response to dhcp req from pc. I don't remember, if setting an IP and gw manually solves the problem.
However launching _both_ sharing method at once helped. DHCP worked fine. Maybe launching wifi hotspot alone generates similar problem?

Did a factory reset and now Mobile Hotspot works!
Haven't tried USB tethering yet, will report back when I do.

Great! I also had this problem and this tip helped me.

Mobile Hotspot works but haven't got USB tethering to work properly yet. The computer can get an IP address from the phone, but no connection through to the Internet. This is after the factory reset.

Same with me here.. Already did FR but still no go..

Old thread I know but anyone sorted this yet, as its doing my head in, I even changed to a tethering plan in case i was being blocked.
Barnacle Tether doesn't work either same symptoms also says DHCP:Could not bind to DHCP port Address already in use

Use PDA Net, it's available in the Play Store

Could it be your carrier blocking 3G tethering?

Hi
3G tethering is not blocked by carrier as I am on a tethering plan and have spent a long time on the phone to an Indian call centre to sort it.
But joy of joys after trying everything I could think of including re-flashing and wiping all data etc. I have managed to get it working using wifi tether for root user

[Q] Forgets wifi networks?

I have a new AT&T Galaxy S4. It's not rooted or anything. It's stock.
I connect to my home Wifi in the evening. During the day at work, I turn off Wifi and use LTE. When I get home and I turn Wifi back on, it has forgotten my Wifi network. This is without restarting the phone or anything.
Has anyone else noticed this? I have never had this issue on an Android phone.

How are you turning off WiFi? Are you disconnecting it and then turning it off? Or just turning it off?

I'm just toggling it using the toggle in the notification shade.
I have also noticed that the list of Wifi networks is huge, including Wifi networks that are not even in range and it doesn't seem to be prioritizing the ones that have the strongest signal. I manually created a wifi network with the info for my router and have toggled it off and on a few times and it's connecting automatically, but I shouldn't have had to do this.

The "List" of wifi networks that are huge are networks you HAVE connected too in the past...
Say you come to my house and Connect to my Network. You Come back home your still gonna see my network in that list, as you had connected to it before... its like that with EVERY phone and device that connects to wifi. If you want them gone just click on them and select forget.

Did you log into a Google Account you have used Previously on another phone? If you did NOT uncheck the box when signing into google it will sometimes load the networks you had from an older phone. If not then your phone is NOT NEW

It's definitely new. It came out of a sealed box. I did restore an old account. Thing is, I can't "forget" any of those networks. It's not an option.

thats very odd you might just need to reform a factory reset.

new S4 forgetting wifi networks
Having the same issue here, occasionally I will walk into the house or the office to find that the S4 has forgotten the network key and I have to type it in again manually.
I leave wifi turned pretty much all the time and when it's working right it logs on to which ever router is in range. Unfortunately most of the time it's not working right & I'm doing a lot of typing.
Have done a factory reset with no effect.
Any thoughts would be VERY welcome.

Give a try to this: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=51180156&postcount=2
This method works with my I337 NI1 Unlocked Rooted. I uses ES Explorer with Root Explorer enabled.
I went to the "system " folder in the device, scrolled down until I found "build prop" then edited using ES Explorer Note Editor.
Greatly appreciated and high credit to dajumper's work !!

Internet Unavailable, The Internet is unavailable with a Wifi Connection

Hey Guys,
Got my V20 yesterday. When I connect to my office Wifi, (Both 2GHz and 5GHz bands), it connects successfully but I then get a popup saying "Internet Unavailable - The internet is unavailable with a Wifi Connection <Connection_Name>"
Office ISP - Starhub Singapore
Home ISP - Singtel Singapore
Phone Model - H990ds
Note: Works fine with my home connection. On both frequencies.

Only thing I can think of is you need to sign in with your company Wi-Fi password. I get the same issues at my work Wi-Fi. Once I input the password everything connects fine.

There is no Company WiFi password We just need to connect to the network and that's about it.

Sorry I can't think of any other reason why it doesn't work then.

Okay so I managed to solve this problem
For those who might face the same issue, these are the steps I took:
-> Forget WiFi network giving issues.
->Settings -> General -> Backup and Reset -> Reset Network Settings
->Restart the device
->Try connecting to the network again and Voila!
