I've run into a problem withe getting the SGS2 to connect to PPTP VPNs over 3G.
I can connect fine via wifi, but if I try connecting via 3G I get the message "Server hung up. Username or password incorrect. Try again?"
I've tried two different sims (T-Mobile Uk and Three) neither of which work but if I try exactly the same thing on my Nexus S using the same SIMs the VPNs connect fine, so I'm pretty confident that it's neither a network nor a Gingerbread issue.
I was hoping this would be something that would be fixed in the latest firmware but no luck there either.
I have dumps of the raw output from the PPTP daemon I'm trying to connect to bith when I'm trying and failing to connect via 3G and when connecting via Wifi if they would help anyone trying to track this down.
-Edit-
Just updated to the new KE2 firmware and no luck there either.
same here posted about this before.. seems a wider google bug.. but my sgs i. works fine
I've seen phones like the ZTE Blade that could't connect to VPNs at all without a firmware update but this is the first time I've encountered on that works over Wifi but not 3G.
Surely it's got to take more effort from Samsung to achieve that than just making it work properly on both
confirmed just tested with k2 firmware.. vpn pptp still not working over 3g.. back to using my sgs i since i need that functionality..
bummer
come one samsung fix. this.. this is unacceptable.. some of use need this vpn funciotnality.. just take the code from the original sgs which works.
Same problem here. I'm on KE2 firmware. I wonder if it has been fixed on KE7....
I'm reluctant to upgrade because I have several apps installed that are not available in the market for the country I'm in right now.
Just tested on k7 still broken.

How does one go about reporting this problem to Samsung? Mine was purchased on the black market in a country where it hasn't been released yet so I don't think I can do anything. Hopefully someone in the UK or South Korea, who purchased this phone from their carrier, can report this problem to their carrier or to Samsung directly.
Here is some information that may help narrow down the problem. The the PPTP connection over 3G is 100% successful when tethering the phone to PC via wifi hotspot.

When you say it was working on the original sgs, which version of Android was it tested on? This might be an issue with Android since 2.2 and not specific to SGS2. Check Issue 11277 on the google code android issue site. I can't post the actual link because I'm a new member.
Same problem my USA sgs2 runnuing lighten v1.3 no VPN over 3G
A found a way to connect to a Cisco IPsec VPN on the SGS2 and it's working on WIFI and 3G. You need to be rooted and download a program called VPN Connections 0.99 from the Softpedia website (I'm not allowed to post the link).
If you need to connect to PPTP over 3G then I'm afraid you are out of luck until Samsung does something about this problem, which they probably won't.
Same problem here.

When did the SGS2 release in USA?
Works on froyo 2.2.1 and earlier firmwares on Sgs. Initial reports are that it indeed doesn't work in gingerbread on the Sgs either.

Yes and yes. I can successfully connect to a PPTP VPN over both wifi and 3g after doing a factory reset on KF1. Before the reset, only wifi was working.
I have checked it and can confirm it does not work over 3g but only over wifi.
Thanks

I just unboxed my elocity A7 yesterday but till now I can't connect to any wifi network. It keeps "scanning" but doesn't find any network even when I place it besides the router
I wrote to customer support and they gave me some suggestions but nothing changes. I updated the firmware and it keeps the same.
It's a great device but not without wifi.
Any suggestions?
Thanks in advance,
JC
Ouch. I have this problem with both my Droid 2 and initially did on the A7 as well.
I enabled and disabled WiFi.
Restarted the device
Tried to enabled WiFi again and got the same issue
Disabled and re-enabled and it connected right up. No problems since.
Android devices work great with routers, except some extra cases. Try to reconfigure router.
At first make open network (no hidden) without any security. Check WIFI.
If success, try to extend security.
If no success -> Probably should do factory reset / wipe. It's strange...
I have D-Link DIR-655 and NEVER got any problems (HTC Magic, HTC Tattoo, MyTouch 3G, MyTouch 4G, Acer Liquid, eLocity A7 - all connected fast and simple)
I used two variants: open network with MAC-address filtering or closed network with WPA2 security
The EA7 is a B&G only WiFi device...so make sure your router isnt set to N only (or A only).

First I tried with WPA2 active, since I didn't succeeded I restored the router to its factory settings. Nothing
Is there a way to find out if the wireless adapter is working correctly in the elocity?
Possible contact elocity and request a replacement be sent with postage to return yours.

I'm aware of that. The thing is that I don't live in the USA, I bought the elocity in Amazon and unboxed it more than 30 days after the purchase so I'm trying to figure out a way to fix it by myself before having to sent it back to the States and try to get a replacement

Man, you can try go to the commercial centers or McDonalds where WiFi is translating 100% and usually not hidden nets are there.
If your other devices or friends devices are finding some nets and your tablet is not - so your device is broken.
Probably home network is confusing cause they might be hidden or with strong security or adhoc type, so you could think that wifi is broken.

Ok, I'm gonna try that before going any further. Everything else works perfectly including the bluetooth, so the next step I'm thinking of is finding a way to tethering ...
Just came across this thread... I too just got this tablet and had issues with the wifi. It recognized my home wifi network, tried to connected then siad disconnected, did it agian and agian. Thought if I rooted it, it would work. Still didn't work. Finally just to see, i went outside to my local cafe where they have free wifi and Pow! it worked! Narrowed the issue down to the router the cable company set up for me. So i ended up resetting the router, tired my tablet 1st unsecured at home, then made a secure network, connected my tablet again w/ newly created key. Works.. I'm no techie so i'm sure theres probably a more official/technical exlination on how i got it to work
Replaced by elocity
I finally sent the broken tablet to California and they sent me a working one. Good custumer service by Elocity

Like several other issues I've encountered, there's probably little that Samsung can do. As you can see below, other devices with Gingerbread 2.3.3 are seeing the same thing, so most likely a Gingerbread bug:

I don't think so. Because PPTP over 3G does work flawlessly on my SGS II. Maybe it fails for you because it's blocked by your cell provider.
PPTP VPN works fine for me overs 3g. I guess it depends on the carrier (I'm on Orange Romania). Sometimes it fails to connect though - reboot solves it.
Nope pptp works fine on my provider with 3g with my Sgs with froyo but not gingerbread and does not work with my Sgs ii, in fact no one on the Sgs ii forum had got it working, I'm not sure I believe you, are you sure you are usbig a pptp vpn and over 3g and not WiFi.

Hello !
Well depending on what rom, if your using B133 which is possible. I recommend you upgrade to either B136 or B160 which doesn't do this.

I've updated to B136 and still have pretty awful wifi, disconnects all the time and doesn't reconnect despite my connection being remembered. Usually displays as 'disabled' when I check the settings.

Cannot connect to Wifi hidden SSID!
Hi there!
Huawei X5 - U8800
Android ver. 2.2.1
Kernel ver. 2.6.32.9-per
[email protected]#1
Build: B160
There is no chance to connect to Wifi hidden SSID!
I tried with previous builds also (B136).
EAP method: PEAP auth
Phase 2 auth: MSCHAPV2
Anyone knows this problem yet?
Any solutions?
Brgds,
S.
Unhide the SSID... If is the Desire HD there is an "issue" with froyo + Hidden SSID's... found out after having 3 days of the same problem, did some digging and found it doesn't like the Hidden SSID.
The other option is using a program like WiFi Connector which forces a connection to a Hidden SSID, not tried it myself but apparently is works.
Thanks for the info. I cannot "unhide" it because it is a company hidden SSID
I will try this Wifi Connector ...but i tried some other apps before without success
Any other thoughts ?
Brgds,
S.
Unfortunately it doesn't work either with Wifi connector
Any known custom ROM with this bug fixed?

Yes, I guess you'd better upgrade your wireless router coz 802.11n is way better in terms of stability and signal strength.

I personally don't think this is a bug indeed. It comes to the same problem for some USB wireless clients in the market.
I suggest that you can solve this problem by choosing "Add Wi-Fi Netword" manually. This option is at the bottom of the list. After pressing it, you'll be asked to input the SSID as well as the encryption (WEP, WPA2, ... etc). Provided that you input them correctly, you should be able to connect to that specific SSID.
Hi there!
I know how to mannualy add SSID and enc. settings... it's not problem in setting tough but in software version of Android i guess. When i set Phase 2 Auth to: MSCHAPv2 or whatever ... after i am getting back into settings Phase 2 Auth is set back to: NONE
I'am stuck ...
I guess you need to ask your IT colleagues if they have enforced additional security in their wifi setup like MAC address allow list and limited DHCP.

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.

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

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
