OK, I've been messing around with this for the past 2 hours and nothing.
At my work, I have a static IP setup (I'm the one that manages all that and sets up each computer, etc.)
I also have a COBY MID7015 and I was able to set-up and use the tab successfully.
I brought in the Galaxy Tab to work (I used it last night at home Dynamic IP with no problems) and tried to set it up. I inputed all the static IP settings and when I click "Connect" it starts scanning and briefly flashes "Obtaining IP address, then "Disconnects" and continues Scanning.
I've gone over it a dozen times and everything is entered correctly. Any help would be appreciated!
OK, I've just done a Factory Reset and still nothing
Probably, the static address youve set up is already reserved.
Yeah I wish it was that simple: I've gone through a number of IP's (ones that I know are definitely not in use), and still nothing. I've attempted again to connect my laptop and it worked flawlessly.
I don't know what else to try...
OK I feel like a complete idiot!
The Gateway and Subnet Mask when reading it off the computer is in a different order on the Tablet.
WOW! ... well hopefully this will help out someone going through the same thing
I'll give you a thanks, because that one must have been hard to admit
Oh yeah...I'm crossing my name off of the IT Department: well when you always have to do stuff in a hurry, you miss some stupid stuff like that

I'm not sure what i have done here, because up until about a week ago my jasjar worked fine with my wireless home network. Then, for some unknown reason, it has stopped.
It connects, then spends an age locating and opening, but does nothing. I have tested the signal (good), increased the performance and reset the connection on both the router and the jasjar.
Is there a schoolboy error that I am making that someone could make me aware of, or is there a solution that could resolve this. I had got used to using the net in my bed you see...
if you're not configured to obtain your DNS from DHCP; you DNS maybe suboptimal.
had the exact same prob today!!!! turned out that though the exec was showing as being coonected with the network infact it wasnt....just try to open your routers setting page...usually 192.168.1.1 if it opens then the prob is after the router otherwise before it.... had to hard reset my exec....
Solved
I simply deleted all connection info, and let the jasjar find my system again. Once found, had to reenter the connection info, and bingo, b3ta was readable again! Thanks for the replies folks!
I have a network with a hidden SSID. today, I changed my google account password due to google telling me mt accounts was accessed from malaysia (....), so when I got home and turned on my tablet, it prompted me to re-sign in. except I forgot the new password. so I hit home and pulled up the browser, at which point it disconnects from wifi. and I couldnt get it to reconnect or see my network. I reboot, nothing. So I changed the password on my macbook, which works fine on the same wifi.
then i tried to connect on the tablet again, nothing. so i deleted the network from the tablet, then re entered it. nothing. so i changed the configuration on the router so it wasnt hidden. it does now appear in my tablet's list of visible networks, starts to connect, says obtaining ip address, then disconnects and tries again.
any ideas? fyi my android phone is working fine.
It's a well known issue, though with all the 3.1 update threads lately, it's been pushed off the front page.

thanks for that, one of the people in those topics said using the reset button worked so i tried that and it did. got the newest OTA too, hopefully that has a fix for this. if not, i also downloaded superuser, TB and Android terminal emulator, so i'll have those as options for a fix if it happens again.
of course, i'll need to be rooted to use them, so is there any way to root on 3.1 yet? gingerbreak is broken, I know that cause I just tried.
Yes, there's a thread on it in the dev section. It was rooted about 20 minutes after it was released.
Well it looks like the OTA didn't fix it because it just happened again. So I tried the reset and that worked this time too. Come on Acer, you can do better.
The OTA patch didn't work fully for me either...
Every once in a while when changing WiFi's (work to home, home to a friend's house, etc...) it'll not find the Access point name and disable that connection. I have to turn off Wifi and then turn it back on before anything will connect or search...
I still have the path where to delete the .lease file so I continue to check for that.
The .lease file has not been there the last two times, but connecting is still an issue.
Fortunately, it's a simple thing to turn off WiFi and then Turn it on again and then Ask the connection to do it's thing...
..but yeah. Acer? A little help over here...
I'm stuck.
I soft reset my A500 four times in a row with no luck, so I went ahead and rooted the thing to delete the lease file as mentioned in other posts, and as it turns out I didn't even have a dhcpd_wlan0.lease file in /data/misc/dhcp -- I had no files in that directory at all.
I don't want to deal with a factory reset, but if I do, I'm still sunk because I have no lease file to delete to fix my problem in the future, since that seems to be not my problem.
Running 4.010.13_com_gen2, updated yesterday I think to this version, went to work, everything was great, got home, nothing is great.
Any other ideas besides a factory reset?
Static IP's FIX this issue.
Sent from my A500 using Tapatalk
Returning to work has fixed my issue temporarily anyway -- I am connected once again on my work network. I will shut down before I leave for home and see if that allows me to connect to my home network again.
After which, static IP is the way for me, I s'pose.
Thanks!
setting the static IP worked immediately for me as well. I found a great guide for any users who are unfamiliar with how to do this.
Step 1 is to know your lan network topography: ipconfig /all at a command prompt will give you your computer's IP address, as well as your host/gateway (usually a router). It also helps to know how to log into your router (usually the first octet in your IP range, eg. 192.168.1.1 is a router running DHCP, while your computer might be 192.168.1.4). Examine the IP range that the DHCP is assigning..often it is limited to a certain number of clients already, or you can do so yourself (I have mine set to hand out 10 IP's only via DHCP, while my actual LAN is manually assigned throughout).
Step 2 on the Acer is to open wifi connection properties and select your own network. The Properties Dialog will pop up, and right below Signal Strength, is says 'Network Setup, with a little marker for a dropdown. Select the marker/dropdown and click 'Manual'. Scroll down in the dialog, to IP settings, click the dropdown marker and select 'Static'. Plug in an IP address, subnet and Gateway (router) IP addresses..I left network prefix alone at 24. I also use custom DNS addys (OpenDNS) but you can also simply point them to your Gatewat/Router IP with no problems. Scroll back up and enter your Network Key for the level of encryption you're using on your WLAN, and you should connect right away, since we are no longer relying on the router's DHCP server (and the DHCP/IP assignment bug on the Acer), and once this is done, it will stay that way indefinitely.

I had issues pulling an IP connecting mine to my old router, so excluded part of the routers subnet from its dhcp scope and entered a static IP into the A500 for that connection and it has been working fine since.
Hello, I'm in trouble with a brand new Optimus Hub (TIM branded) with Android 2.3.4.
I'm trying to make it connect to my home WiFi (WPA2, no SSID broadcast, 64 char password, Mac address whitelist).
I'm pretty sure I put the correct password and also tried turning SSID broadcast on, but it never connects to my network, without any error message.
This night I'll try different things (short password, no WPA and so on), but do you know of any issue about WiFi connections? Would a wrong password trigger an error message?
Any know LG update about this?
Thank you!!
You're on the right track. Don't forget to turn off the mac whitelist as well.
Still Charged Up
I found the password is the problem.
First: I have a 63 chars password, but OH only try to connect with at most 62 chars! Otherwise it not even tries to connect!
Second: there must be some char that it cannot handle properly (I suspect it to be space); with a simple password, it works, with the first 15 chars of my password it always says password wrong.
I'll try to find out what's the offending char, but I'll first check for an LG update to see if it fixes the problem.
Unfortunately there is no consistency in password implementation across vendors of phones OR networking gear. Even SSIDs are not standardized. I can use special characters in some equipment and not others. Everybody either thinks they know better or they can save a couple pennies. Glad you found the culprit.

Hi everyone and thanks for this great site, I learned so many things here.
I stumbled across a curious issue: when I received my new Nexus 4 yesterday the time was set wrong, about 33 minutes ahead. No problem I thought, unchecked and checked "automatic time", but it stayed incorrect. I punched in the correct time manually, set it to automatic again, and it "corrected" to the wrong time again. Since I wanted to install PA anyway I did exactly that, restoring factory settings in the process, and the problem persisted.
Starting to wonder I found this a (can't post links yet) very long thread on Google's product forums, tried several of the suggested fixes to no avail and concluded (as some people there have) there must be a hardware problem. Still I didn't want to send in my shiny new toy and installed ClockSync, hoping to work around the issue. To my utter surprise, even this utility displayed the wrong time. I changed the default NTP server for Apple's and still the same result: An NTP fetching app told me a clearly incorrect time, about 33 minutes ahead. Now I really didn't know what to think anymore: how could the hardware affect the NTP results. (btw going to any "time" website proved that NTP and Android's sync where wrong).
It was late and I had classes early today, so I took it with me to university. There I connected to the WiFi, re-enabled automatic clock and got set 33 minutes ahead, just as I had expected. I still wanted to try ClockSync again, and, lo and behold, now the NTP server gave me the correct time. Having read that rebooting fixed things for people with clocks slowly running late I did just that, re-enabled auto-time - and it got set correctly.
Now I was suspecting my network at the student residence to be the culprit. When I came back I started ClockSync and, like I expected, it showed the incorrect time again. The minute-part of the wrong time seems to correspond to the minutes in the log of my AirportExpress WiFi Base station that I use here to use my wired network with multiple devices. I tried to set it to fetch NTP itself, but that doesn't seem to work (presumably because it only does at startup, before my credentials are punched in at any client device which "enables" web access for my assigned IP.) So, no way for me to test my whole theory, still the fact that it's ok at uni makes me think so. There is no difference between setting the Base station to NAT or bridge mode.
What I don't get at all though:
Why would the wrong time in my router affect NTP results?
Why doesn't it for my Notebook or my HTC Legend? (that's the reason I thought I'd post this in the Nexus 4 subforum)
Why does it only set to the wrong minute, but always less than an hour ahead of actual time, on the right date no less?
tl;dr: In my private WiFi with the router set to the wrong time my Nexus 4 gets set to the wrong time automatically and also gets incorrect, corresponding NTP results in ClockSync.
Any ideas? A solution would be nice, but at the moment I'd be happy with an attempt at an explanation, because to me this doesn't make any sense at all.
some further tests:
it does not seem to be my router. I tried resetting it at a "full hour" in order to get correct sync, that didn't change a thing: android's auto-sync as well as Clocksync still think it's 33 minutes in the future. Maybe it's the router of the residence, I have no clue.
Also, deactivating wifi and activating mobile data, rebooting afterwards doesn't change a thing neither: what's strange about that is that afterwards even ClockSync still reports the wrong time, confirming that it get's NTP data. I'm at the end of my wits really.
Furthermore I installed ClockSync on my HTC Legend, and also there it does report the wrong time. It doesn't, however, change to the wrong time in android's auto.sync.
Now I got another idea: I unchecked auto-time on my Notebook, changed the time and re-set auto: the result was: nothing! The notebook doesn't seem to reach the timeserver (time.euro.apple.com), it does not report any error however (I'm not sure if it's supposed to), contrary to the android devices it will not take the wrong time however... stranger and stranger.
Please somebody, do you have any idea what's going on here?
Will I be stuck with manual time which is known to get very imprecise over short periods...?
EDIT:: as I expected, Port 123 is closed in the network of my residence. That still doesn't explain why android AND ClockSync would just report the wrong time instead of telling me that the timeserver could not be reached...
thanks!
just a question:
does your silence indicate that you have no clue either or am I missing something obvious here?
please somebody answer just to tell me that I am not going mad!
(also, if someone would be willing to investigate this with me, could you try to close Port 123 on your router and tell me how your device reacts regarding auto-time and ClockSync. Thanks!)
Does ClockSync show the correct NTP server details if you long tap of the atomic time?
It looks like your router is intercepting NTP requests and is handling them itself.
Does it help if you specify IP address of the correctly working NTP server instead of pool.ntp.org in ClockSync settings?

Thank you very much for trying to help me!

I think not. No matter which server is specified, the output looks alway like the attached screenshot - with 73.78.73.84 in the reference ID field. Calling that url from a browser gives me "Le site que vous souhaitez interroger est actuellement indisponible." - The site you're trying to reach is unavailable at the moment.
Also notice file name and creation date of that screenshot file.
The file name corresponds to actual time, supposedly because I have set my time to manual.
The creation date is 3/29/2010. Why is that now...?

it's not, sadly, still the same output and wrong time.
Thanks!
Do you mean that even if you specify a different IP address for the NTP server, ClockSync still shows 73.78.73.84 address?
If it's the case, then something in your network hijacks all the NTP requests and redirects them to 73.78.73.84 server which provides incorrect time.
You should talk to the network administrator.
sorry for getting back to you only now, the internet in the residence just went completely away yesterday.
now it's back, painfully slow at times but it works and
TADA
auto-time works, clocksync shows the right time (as well as the right IP, the answer to your question was yes the day before yesterday)
even my notebook can reach it's time server.
thank you very much for your help, if it happens again I shall talk to the network admin here.
aside.:I'm still not sure if it's expected behaviour, certainly not best practice, of ANdroid to be derailed that way. OSX isnt.
Hey guys,
for some week or maybe month, I'm having some kind of issue with my device and the home-wifi-router.
The problem: There are some kinds of webistes that just aren't working in my home wifi. I tried dozens of different browers all with the same result. Some pages that don't work are amazon.de obi.de and kicker.de and twitter.com
Same thing with the Amazon App and Twitter app. They just don't load any content - with mobile data on, it works out.
All of those pages and apps work out with other android devices and also in other peoples WiFi.
I also tried the secure mode, with the same result.
I've heard, that there might be an issue with ipv6, but, unfortunately I can't switch anything on or off in the router settings.
It's gotta be something about the router, but I can't change anything. Maybe there's a way to work around that with some kinde off app or something to turn Ipv6 off, IF that is the problem?
The phone has got stock rom, no root, no nothing. Maybe there is an opportunity with rooting? Warranty is expired, so there's nothing that speaks against rooting, if this might help. But then, I need someone to help me with all that - so far I only rooted an old nexus phone wia root toolkit.
Thanks!

I had exactly the same router. I hated it, my download stream was very slow that I was ready to throw it out of my window. Unfortunately it didn't happend.
Check your routers internet filter settings maybe something blocks your device . Also check your routers wifi settings if necessary turn it off and on again. Reboot your router or in worst case reset it BUT DON'T DO IT IF YOU DON'T HAVE THE ACCESS DATA.
Try to change the wifi settings on your device. Change from DHCP to static and see if it works.
Thanks for your reply.
I checked everything, but there is no filter setting. I restarted wifi and turned of the router several times.
Static IP also seems not to work, the issues remain.

There must be a filter setting. Check the internet tab of your router settings and you should find a filter option.
I looked it up, but there is just the daily reset rule but in the filter tab there is no active rule or something that can be unchecked.
You should ask your internet provider about this situation...
