My WiFi was working fine on my Xoom, and now it gets stuck while "obtaining IP address." It says for a split second "remembered" as if it was connected and starts the ongoing circular process of "obtaining IP address" all over again. I saw that galaxy tab users had this same problem and found a resolution by connecting "static" instead of "DHCP." I didn't try that as I honestly don't know how. What I do know is that there are a few devices like my OG droid, my laptop, my mothers' laptop, my xbox 360 that are connected to the same WiFi network. This randomly happened, when I decided to disconnect from WiFi to run a speed test on 3G and I was unable to connect to WiFi ever since. I tried unplugging/plugging the routers, turning the Xoom off and on, and even went so far as to doing a factory reset on the Xoom and I still can't connect. 3G works fine, but I have a 1GB cap and I would rather only use that while I'm on the go, and obviously WiFi is definitely faster. If I can't resolve this, I still have enough time to return this thing. Call me a newb, but I need a little help!
I know you said you did a factory reset, but google stores wifi passwords in the cloud now. Try making the xoom forget the network you're trying to connect to.
My only other thought is that you need to go into your router's configuration and remove the xoom as a remembered device.

How do I get the xoom to forget the network? How do I remove the xoom as a remembered device? Sorry but I really don't know how to do that..
EDIT: I went into settings>privacy>backup and restore> and unchecked "back up application data, Wi-Fi passwords, and other settings to googles servers and was still unable to connect.
I think if you long press on the wifi network it will give you the option to forget it.
As for the router, do you remember setting it up? The settings pages where you set the wifi name and password and such.. it should have a section where it tells you which devices are connected.
I have pressed "forget network" on the xoom several times when trying to connect. As for the router, do I remember setting it up? No, as a matter of fact I didn't set it up. Could I configure this thing from my laptop?

Of course, anything that's connected to the router should let you configure it. It's too complex to explain here, but you need to enter the router through it's IP address and find the configuration.
Find the manual for the router you have and go from there.
I'll try to look into that, any idea as to wtf happened? This is beyond an inconvenience..
I'm having much the same problem. After entering the passphrase it says 'obtaining ip address from....' and thats all. It never connects??? I have tried 'forget' several times and no luck.
I have been able to connect to unsecured wifi with no problems.
Use the free app "wifi static". Config to assign you a static IP on that network only and dhcp on others. Its something within android as I have the same issue in my phone with a few networks but not most.

OK, tried it. NO GO! After entering the passphrase it STILL says 'obtaining ip address from....' I may be doing something wrong with the app since it comes with absolutely NO directions. If this is going to be an issue average folks will take it back!
Have any of you with this issue verified that the DHCP scope on the wireless network is not full or that DHCP is even allowed? The fact it works one place but not another tells me the issue may be with the network and not the device.

I also had this issue, I ended up fixing it by upgrading my router BIOS. the version that was on there was dated 2004 (yikes), and though the most current update was only 2006, it seems to have fixed the problem.
That or the reboot after the update as previous poster said and the update didn't really have anything to do with it, but either way it got fixed.

I've had the captivate about 24 hours now and dig it. I've rooted it and remove the att bloatware (per titanium backup), I've also performed a backup using Rom Manager.
I'm having trouble getting it up and running on an enterprise wireless what uses 802.1x PEAP authentication. I can get through all the auth. steps, and the device is assigned an IP, but I am unable to do anything that requires an internet connection; browser, market, etc.
Has anyone else ran into this issue?
*****EDIT*****
sigh i just realized that this is in the wrong area, it should have been over in development...i'm an idiot
I had a similar problem on a WEP-encrypted network, which I fixed by setting a static IP on the phone and then setting it back to DHCP (the correct setting). However, your problem could be entirely different than mine (not that I even am sure what my problem was, just that I fixed it!)
Best of luck!
Having the same problem on enterprise access points regardless of encryption. Home wifi netwroks work great (open and WPA2). Enterprise APs (open and WEP) connect and give me an IP, but will not transfer data. Think its a driver issue with the Wifi, it happens on every captivate ive tested, and seems to be more widespread than the GPS issue.
I have had the same issue with my work at work. I can get it to connect and get a ip but can not pass any data.

Worked closely with my highly experienced network admin in my dept. for an afternoon (we had some time to kill). He checked the firewall and dhcp servers, ran packet traces, etc.
With what I'm experiencing, its the device. These wifi networks we use with Cisco APs are completely wide-open. All other phones and mobile devices have always worked great for years. We rely on this network for many custom applications and mobile tools.
Once the dhcp server leases an address, it seems like the radio stack hangs, and the device ceases communication. Here's an older thread on the exact issue over at androidfouroms: http://androidforums.com/samsung-captivate/130403-wifi-terrible.html
I have tested multiple new unmodified captivates and the issue is identical accross the board.
Now that I am at work, and have coffee in me and not beer, I will go through the problem I had with miCap and works wireless. Due to my skeptical ways, I will be semi vague for security purposes. On with it.
When I originally got miCap (pet name for it) I was able to access our public wifi. It allowed me into the public portal to agree to terms. I played a little bit on it, but wanted to see if I could access our private wifi. I got in the private no problem. But after that I never was able to get back on to our public. It did the same thing as I've read. It got an ip no problem (via dhcp) and acted like all was well. No browser, or ap could get a connection. The phone would not switch over to 3g to get info.
Armed with ip and mac address, my co-worker and I started to did through our monowall. ( He also has a cap that had no issues on public or private). We try tried reserving the ip for miCap, didn't work. We tried static ip, didn't work. I spent the morning completely wiping miCap to get it back to return worthy.
This was when I decided on last ditch effort.
Our ap's are cisco's that connect into monowall. I got into monowall and dug around. I found that with in the captive portal (how fitting) that the ip/mac associated with my phone hadn't checked in for 8 days. Even though I tried everyday. I deleted the entry to the phone there and suddenly my phone was getting access again.
Now I understand that this may not help everyone, because setups vary from place to place. But digging deeper into configurations at the access points may be what is needed. Do I think the phone had nothing to do with it? No, I think it helped aggravate the problem.
We have had problems with the Intel 3945abg chipsets with the same exact setup. That problem was fixed with driver updates on the laptops.
sorry for the long winded reply.
So in a nut shell you deleted the DNS entry for that ip/mac in the firewall and you are working.

Essentially yes. But it is not listed like that in the portal. Hmmm. I wonder about the combo of dhcp/dns being the culprit.
I was able to resolve this issue by changing my connection settings from DHCP to static for the Cisco APs.
Installing WiFi Buddy from the market allowed me to access these connection settings.
I just used an address from our static IP pool.
Manually set IP, subnet, gateway, and DNS, and now im finally rolling on our enterprise wifi network
I sent a help ticket into samsung; maybe if enough folks do we can get it on their radar.

you can set the ip manually with out an app. When on the wifi screen, hit menu-advanced. This is a good time to set the wi-fi sleep policy also.

UPDATE
So I flashed the i9000 Eclair rom last night, and when I got into work today I can connect and use the wifi here. So looks like something AT&T buggered up, big surprise there, when they "customized" the captivate.
As much as I normally love blaming AT&T for problems, that can't be done here. My Captivate (running Stock Firmware) connects just fine to my work network. We use 802.1x with PEAP/MSCHAPv2 for authentication.
Anyone been able to connect at over 802.11b speeds while connected to an 802.1x network? I show connections at G and N speeds on my WPA2 network but nothing over 11Mbps on 802.1x.

Hi,
I am also having problems with my work wifi network.

With my previous iphone 3g it was taking only 4-5 seconds.
i'm having trouble connecting my dhd to wifi. it can connect but i cant surf to any pages?
can someone help me?
any error message available?
have you tried restarting the router and then try again?
if fails, could you use an terminal emulator to type in ifconfig and check the IP address assigned?
wich encryption are you using to secure the connection?
no the only message i get is when i open a page it says it cannot load it
i tried restarting the router but nothing helps
lets start at the basics and work our way up,
go to settings, wireless en network, and wi-fi settings.
check if Wi-Fi is turned on. if so, look a little bit below this in the wi-fi networks section, does your network SSID show up? any info listed if you check that?
if nothing show's up, try add Wi-FI network.
if all this is working properly. and you still can't go on the internet, we'll move on.
Is this the first time you have used your router?
Try with the security off if that works turn it back on and try again had to do this a few times with some of my old routers.

Does your router filter out unrecognised MAC addresses. I set my router to allow access to only recognised MAC's. Try looking for a MAC Address Filter on your router.
no mac filtering is turned off
Have you assigned manual IP's?
no manualy ip
Check what ip address your phone has should be the same as your router except the last bit eg.
Router 192.168.1.1
Phone 192.168.1.3
If not they can't talk as on different domains.
If they are ok try pinging your phone from your router (if you can) or use your computer

It's most likely a router problem, not a phone one. Look for updates for your router software, they might fix those kind of stuff
PS: You can always set up fixed IP addresses on your phone if it's still an issue.

The OP meant the toggle switch sometimes connects and other times gets stuck obtaining IP. You have to push scan manually to get the IP at all. Not a router problem as it is sending the wifi, but sometimes the phone is not registering its there.

I have a slightly different problem. When I'm at home on my network, I always connect, fine and dandy, with no interaction needed from me.
At work, we have an open network, but one that requires you to open a browser and agree to the terms and conditions before you can browse. That's probably not anything to do with the issue, but my phone will get stuck in a scanning.... connecting.... disconnected loop. It will never say obtaining IP address during this loop. And then all of a sudden, I'll look at my phone, and there will be the wifi bars in the header. It just all of a sudden decides to work. SHRUG.

something i tried and has seemed to work. if you go into wifi settings then press the menu key you will see an advanced option. in there is a wi fi sleep police. i changed mine to never from never when plugged in even though it was never plugged in and so far so good.
There appears to be a problem with new versions of Android and old routers. Many people have reported the "obtaining IP address" loop problem.
Let me explain. I use the leisure facilities in a local hotel. It has a public (open) wifi network. I believe it uses an old router. My Galaxy S2 (Gingerbread) and AsusTransformer (ICS) both connected to this network without problems. I recently replaced the S2 with an S3 (ICS) and my Transformer with a Nexus 7 (Jellybean). Neither of my new devices connect to this network. I have had the same problem in a local cafe.
I have researched this problem. It is not uncommon. It appears to be caused by an odd mix of hardware (router and wifi chipset) and software (later versions of Android). If you are unlucky (like me and some others) you will be unable to connect to some networks.
The solution is to use static IP addressing (since your device is unable to obtain a dynamic IP address). This will allow your device to connect to the network -- but you need to know the correct settings (for static IP addressing) before you can actually use the network.
This problem has been reported by many people. Does anyone know if there is a fix or a workaround?
The only one I can think of it to get hold of a device that does connect to this network and copy the (static IP) settings. But this would only solve it for one location meaning that I will run into it again the next time I try to connect to a network with old hardware.
Sometimes when I get that problem it's due to IP address conflicts on the Windows 7 computers.
I go to the computer and:
http://helpdeskgeek.com/networking/release-and-renew-an-ip-address/
Otherwise I just pull the router out and refresh it, should work for another few weeks or so.

I don't have access to the PC. It is owned by the hotel. I need a solution that I can apply client (Nexus) side.
Solution
I found a solution. I asked the guy to reset the router and both my Nexus and S3 immediately connected. Someone advised me to do this. I have no idea why it worked. Not really a solution since i cant go round cafes asking people to reset their routers for me.
Is there a way to find out IP, DNS, gateway etc values on Nexus when they are dynamically assigned?
I sometimes have this Problem when starting my accesspoint after enabeling wifi on my N7.
I have to reboot my N7 in that case to get an IP.
Happened to me quite a few times when I went out with it to a restaurant or something. It just loops and loops.
My Nexus (and S3) now connect to the hotel network every time now. So it looks like you only need to ask the owned to reset his router once.

I just started having a similar problem. I have a samsung galaxy tab with Sprint. I've had it for a year and this is the first time I've had this trouble.
The only difference is, I cannot connect to any wifi network at all. It keeps hanging on "obtaining IP address" and then disconnects. It doesn't matter if it's my home wifi or school or free wifi in a restaurant.
The only possible connection I can make is that I downloaded Lookout to check it out as a possible security app, I have since uninstalled it but that did not fix my problem.
Continuing to research this but any ideas on how to fix this would be fantastic.
I'm having this problem on my HTC One S. It happened yesterday without warning and it's really annoying. I went to a nearby cafe and the wifi worked perfectly, so it's something wrong here.
Static IP solution connects to me to the network but I can't actually use the internet, so I'm stumped.
i'm getting the same error with AOKP 4.2.2, and also know people with stock 4.2.2 with it.
the only way i found to fix it is to reboot the phone..... and wait for it to happen again and reboot it again
i cannot use static IP since in my university (and some other public places) it is not possible to connect it like that :S

Hey guys, I have a problem and I feel like I've tried all I can think of to try and fix it. I got both my wife and I 2 kyocera rises. We activated them and all that and got them setup on our home wifi.
Well, I noticed that my rise will work fine and surf the net fine but at random times I won't be able to access the internet (Or any internet apps) even though it says i'm connected to the network. It will work if I use that connection widget to turn off the wifi and turn it back on but then it does the same thing, says i'm connected but i'm unable to use browsers/apps. The things I have tried was: Restart the phone, Reset the modem and router, factory reset the phone (Thinking it might be an app conflict), change the router channels, and I've even setup the phone for static IP.
Nothing is working and i'm at a stand still. The weird thing though is I believe my wives phone doesnt have this problem. She doesn't surf the web as much as I do but she occasionally goes onto the phone and never complains. If it helps, the router I am using is the Netgear WNR3500L. Does anybody have any ideas I can try out?

I will try that and see how it is. My friend that used to work for sprint told me to disable connections optimizer as well as it has problems.
UPDATE: I thought it was working but it isn't I decided to grab my wifes phone to see if the same was happening to hers at the same time as mine and it does. Well, so it must be something wrong with my network but I'm not sure what. There's no new firmware updates either. The weird thing is, I tried my nexus 7 and my t.v.'s wifi and they both work so something is making the androids not want to stay connected or something.
Androids have this weirdness with Wi-Fi. Try disabling security.
Factory reset the router and set it back up.
I found the problem. It was intact the firmware but there was no firmware updates from net gear but then I remembered my router is open source. So I decided to try flashing tomato onto my router and now my phones aren't dropping the connection. Thanks for the help guys!
