So I got the Bravo in the mail today. I set everything up, and then I decided to download some apps and stuff. So I switched on wi-fi, and I went to the Market. Then I waited for about 30 seconds and I got an error message asking if I wanted to retry or just go back to the page before. I've tried both, no luck. I'm assuming it has to do with my wi-fi, because 3g works perfect. I have Time Warner Cable roadrunner, and a Motorola modem/Linksys Router. Whats wrong with it?
make sure you have your wifi turned on and set up in Wireless and network. settings

Hi there,
Had this problem with a past G1 but it got sent back because I cancelled the contract (wanted to upgrade my contract).
Anyway the problem seems to be happening with my new, 2 - 3 week old G1.
Internet is not working. Not on G2 network or through Wifi. This means the G1 will not sync, I can't use the browser, the Market gives a error, Gmail brings up a "No Connection" error with a retry button.
I also can't start the bluetooth. "Unable to connect to bluetooth" is the error I get as soon as I press the checkbox.
Driving me mad. Anyone got any ideas? Running Modified TC5-RC8. I should point out the last time I had this problem I was running stock RC8. So pretty sure it's not a custom firmware issue.
EDIT: Seems the net is working on G2. Other problems still persist.
What plan do you have? Who is your provider?
Flext 30 with T Mobile UK.
Did some more troubleshooting. A wireless hotspot in Town worked fine. However I don't see why the 2 wireless routers in my house have suddenly stopped working with my G1. I haven't changed any settings.
One is a BT Home Hub and the other is a Netgear.
and still the bluetooth will not enable.
EDIT: Seems an upgrade to v1.3 sorted it :s
I will put it down to a bug I guess?
I've noticed that my [rooted] Vibrant frequently has trouble connecting, or staying connected, to WiFi networks.
At first I thought it was specific to my Verizon Actiontec WiFi router, however I've also noticed this at my office, where we use Motorola routers, as well as a few other locations that I frequent.
It's still possible that its a site-specific problem, but, less likely as I'm seeing this in a few locations.
Symptoms:
I configure my phone to connect to X network.
It successfully connects and all it fine.
I get out of range, it no longer sees network X and disconnects.
Some time later I return to my previous location and expect that in N seconds/minutes the phone will automatically reconnect.
A considerable amount of time passes and I notice it's still not connected.
I check the wifi settings and it days connection unsuccessful.
I tap the network, click connect and it works.
I've also noticed this after connecting to a network and the phone goes to 'sleep' or into an idle state. When a wake it up, it doesn't always automatically reconnect.
Anyone else seen this?
Any suggestions?
Many thanks.
i've had that problem. i am not sure what it was because I was rooted and Ryaned. I got sick of all the stupid lil bugs and had to wipe format and unroot. Now that I am back to the original condition, theres this sense of comfort knowing if something buggy happens, it's not "my" fault.
Thanks for the reply.
I noticed this prior to rooting and 'Ryan'ing'.
The capacitive buttons don't work all that well from time to time - specifically the Home button so maybe I should just exchange it. I'll call TMO tomorrow to see what they say.
So, I think I messed something up. I replaced my wpa_supplicant file with a hacked one in order to recognize and connect to Adhoc wireless signals such as the on from my E4GT phone. It seemed to have worked, but I realized that there was an issue with the tablet consistently scanning even after it connected. I decided to go back to my previous wpa_supplicant which I had backed up. I kept getting an Error when attempting to connect to my home's wireless network. So I figured a Full re-installation of Overcome 1.1.0 would do the trick. Voila! It's working again!
However, I realized that my network doesn't sleep when the screen is turned off. I set it up under the Advanced Wireless Settings and still won't do it. I know it takes a while for the WiFi to actually turn off, but I have waited hours and it is still not doing it. I am running the same apps I was running before all this mess, so I doubt it is a specific app.
PLEASE HELP!
So last night the wife and I were at a fancy hotel for my work's Christmas party. The hotel had an unprotected WiFi network that would force you to a web page when you connected so you could sign in. Standard stuff.
My wife connected to the WLAN with her Kindle and it prompted her a login was required, launched the crappy Kindle browser she tapped a button she was in. She then connected using her Xperia S (running Android 4.0.4) and got a status notification telling her a login was required and selecting this opened her browser to the login page. But although my N4 would connect to the network it refused to display any login notification. I tried various combinations of WiFi settings, including turning off the "Avoid poor connections" and "Network notification" settings. I tried rebooting but nothing could make my N4 to login to the network. So I fired up my Nexus 7, also running Android 4.2.1, connected to the network and instantly got a "Login required" notification which took me to the login page and I was up and running with no problems.
Seriously, WTF is up with WiFi on this device? I have another issue at home which causes my WiFi speed to plummet if I use the GPS (I kid you not, I can reproduce this every time). Either the WiFi drivers on this device are crap or there is something wrong with my N4.
I feel like a beta tester.
Something is wrong with your device. I have excellent wifi reception and tired to reproduce your GPS bug but failed.
I suggest giving Google a call
My Nexus 4 isn't connecting to wifi. More specifically, if I am connected to a remembered network, my phone does not automatically reconnect when I leave the range then come back into it.
Now, there are 2 wifi networks in the apartment and I've tried both. I actually just "forgot network" on the last remembered network on my phone because I was trying to connect to the better one.
Since I've done that, I am unable to connect to wifi at all, because the only way for me to connect to wifi before was to restart my phone and have it automatically connect to the remembered network.
Now that I don't have a remembered network, I cannot connect to anything, and my Wifi page on my phone will not show any wifi networks available and it won't even give the option to turn on wifi or to refresh the list. I have to reboot my phone, making sure the wifi is off first (using the toggle on the dropdown notification menu), then I can at least refresh the empty list. When I refresh the list, it gives me an error, "WPA failed. Retry in a few minutes."
I need this fixed. I live in a basement apartment and my cell signal is usually unavailable while I'm home.
I was running the AOKP 4.3 milestone when I started having the problem, then went back to stock, put on a 4.4 nightly ROM, had the same problem, then went back to the same 4.3 milestone. Unfortunately, I didn't leave my phone on stock 4.4 long enough to see if the problem persisted there.
Is there anything I can do at this point before going through the process of bringing my phone back to stock again?
Thanks
Update: After restarting my phone some 20 or more times, I was eventually able to see the list of networks and put the password in for the new network. So I at least have wifi now because my phone automatically connects.
However, all the problems stated above are still the same. I lose connection and cannot automatically reconnect when I go out and back into range of the signal, and can only regain the connection when I restart my phone and it automatically connects to the one known network on reboot.
If there's any information or anyway to try to fix it, I'd love to know.
Thanks
