I had a problem with my S2 where it wouldn't connect when I had another instance of the same network present. Might not help but try make the phone forget all the other access points you have saved and start from scratch.

thanks.. i'll try it tomorrow. so how did u fix it?
I just told the phone to 'forget' all the networks it had stored and then scanned again.
I had the same problem with mine yesterday. Couldn't connect to work wifi, but I told it to forget everything and when I came in tonight I went to connect and it worked straight away.

HI
last night i rooted my phone using the exploid x10 root apk, at first it worked fine and so i left is plugged in over night to transfer all my music onto my new sd card
but this morning it seems the wifi has broken
it connects to the network but will not send or receive data, so the browser says no connection, so does the market etc
i have reflashed its software 3 times even downgraded back to the R1, still no luck, its not even rooted and its broken
any1 had the same issue? i have searched the forum but the ppl with the sam issue have not been helped. please i dont want to spend $$ to get it fixed i have no job
Hi.
No problem with the wifi so far.This is strange.
Do you have warranty?
Sound stupid but did you try to reset your router?
If nothing is working you should go to the service.
yea i messed around with wifi router, nothing, i can browse the net on 3g wich is odd, but 3g is expensive so that cnt be the solution. bluetooth and 3g work obv but the wifi cannot connect itl connect to the wirelss just NO datac exchange?
There is someone with the same kind of problem but on an EVO 4g, but i really do not understand what they reply's mean. Maybe you do?
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=800910
tried to search on google and came across a LOT of people having this same issue, on laptops, iphones, ipads, which lead to the conclusion that it may not be a wifi failure?
well it cant be a complete wifi failure kuz i used the dev menu and it says wlam enabled and scanning just no connection
thanks

+1 and so much more for all your help man
i managed to fix it, it wasnt my device as such it was my router, too so i fiddled around with both mainly giving my x10 a static ip and bam it worked, cheers!!
I too have a wifi problem, but it is quiet a different one and i have no idea how to solve it.
when I connect to wifi at home my router reboots, but there is no such problem when i connect to my office.
I tried reseting the router at home and still no use, once it got connected and when i started a download from the market the router again rebooted.
How can i solve this????

Tried diffrent encryptions? like WPA2 or WEP?
Maybe switch from G to N standard (or vise versa, if availible?)

see: en.wikipedia.org/wiki/IEEE_802.11#802.11g
The X10 doesn't support 802.11n

Somebody told him to try to switch the router from b/g to n. That was the point of my post.
And your router obviously operates all 3 standards at once
I never use this phone but its my cousin's X2. She said she can connect to wifi connection but she cant browse, or do anything with it. The page wont load.
What is the problem here?
Thanks!

Problem with WiFi router.
Some WiFi routers let you connect but not actually use it:
they require password or are not for public use.
Shouldnt be that is the problem. cuz she did connect to my wifi router a couple of weeks ago.
Well i did a soft reset(though i dont know if it is really resetted), and it worked again. But i still hope someone can answer why is this happening.
Thanks!
Tell her to temporarily open up her WiFi connection and disable encription.
Try to connect.
This worked for me on my dads router, a 2WIRE modem/router combination that he got from AT&T, (terrible device).
When done just re-enable the encryption.
If she wants to keep the encryption then you need to go into the WiFi settinngs and locate her WiFi signal.
Click Connect.
Then try each encrypted setting until it works(TPK, SHARED, TPK-PSK, etc. . . ). This is what I had to do at my office and at home. It took a bit of time but I finally found the correct type of encryption.
Worth trying. Will try telling her these when she comes by again today. Thanks mate!

So the problem is: I have an android phone MOTOROLA FIRE XT530. I have got wifi , belkin router in my home , which i use to connect my laptop and cell phone to browse on internet! There is no problem in browsing from laptop indicating there is no problem with my wifi settings or anythng related to wifi!

I dont really have problem with this thng but the other day i was upgrading my swype to swype beta and had to download this application but the app is too large sized that in the middle of the downloading my wifi went off thereby stopping the download(n sadly its non resumable). I am a huge fan of swype and have been using it for quite a while now. I want it upgraded at any cost!
I know this wifi turn on/off problem is faced by many but this is quite a headache nw! I have come to know about 'POWER SAVING MODE' n stuff, but sadly i can't even get to that menu coz i dont know how to!

Open app drawer>>Settings>>Wireless and Network>>Wi-Fi settings>>(now tap first soft key to see options)>>select advanced.
Now just tap on Wi-Fi sleep than tap on "Never"
Actually as the screen turns off wifi too turns off with that.
Hope it fixes your issue.

Try data reset. If that doesn't work, the issue is with router.

Sometimes I too have similar problem with my xperia. But the problem disappear after rebooting the phone and/or router.
I think it related to your phone's uptime. As the more the uptime, the memory tends to be fragmented and it has impact to wifi drivers (?).
it happens regardless of the never option

I think the issue is with wireless N and if you have a belking router it may be an issue ...dumb ur router down to only b/g and this should change the outcome

Guys hang on looks like a found a solution to this crap.
I carefully observed what happened when my wifi turned off automatically. My phone flashed a message "Get IP address fail, please check wifi password or wifi app status"..
I thought of making my wifi setting from dynamic to static. I used "ipconfig/all" in my cmd to get the details for setting up static ip. i rebooted both my phone and router. And bang!!! It has not been showing the problem now.! I've been using it for 10 minutes now at a stretch ( for the first time).. Am happy and hope that it doesnt recur. Will let u guys know , if the prob comes back!

I am having a major issue with the wifi on my i9500!!
So I bought this phone from a guy.. he said the phone is never used and by looking at the condition, it seemed he was telling the truth!!
So anyways... I buy it, come home and I double check everything on the phone and also try my wifi network... I couldn't connect to my home network!! Its the same network that I connected my macbook, my previous phones (s3 and note 2)... every other device works fine except this s4!!!
So i thought the phone was faulty, and thats the reason the guy sold it to me!!!
So... I borrowed another i9500 from a store and asked them i need to check if my home wifi works... and again same thing.. It doesnt work on my home network!!
I also tried going in yorkdale mall and checked my girlfriends note 2 and my s4 and tried connecting to the open network!!
NOTE 2 connected in 15-20 seconds.. while the s4 never connected and kept on saying "acquiring IP address".. I tried connecting to my home network by doing "Advanced Connection" and manually adding the IP address.. IT CONNECTS! But i cannot do anything.. theres no internet access!!
Now im confused as to if my home network is the issue here, but if that was the case.. why did my girlfriends note 2 connect to the open network at yorkdale mall while mine didn't connect at all!!!
CAN SOMEONE PLEASE HELP ME!! I USE internet by this company called "CIK"... yeah my dads trying something new... we definitely get more speed on every device!! so its definitely better that way! but the only problem is i cannot connect my s4... Now i dont know if its the s4 itself, or my home network!!!
I need wifi... yes i do have 6gb data plan, but then i'll be going out of country soon and i'll be needing wifi for sure!!
sorry for the confusion... but all i need is to get my wifi working.. or if the device's wifi is faulty, how can i find that out for sure!
any help would really be appreciated!
thanks in advance people!!

this happened to my older brother's s4 too we even sent it back to our retailer thinking its a factory defect but it turns out to be router incompatibilities. I suggest replacing your router to a preferably future-proof one, the ones with the ac standards. Routers such as netgear or asus are some of my recommended ones

if you use a dsl connection use a dual-band router with adsl support such as these products.

Wow thanks.. I guess it is the router then.. BUT the thing I wonder is why all the devices still work fine and just the s4 doesnt seem to connect!!!
Or is it all the samsung galaxy s4s and they have done some tweaking with the settings... no idea..
but its good to find out for sure that its not the device!!
I shall try connecting my phone at few of my friends place... + at local starbucks/tim hortons... it better connect LOL!!
Thanks anyways
ok, happend to my sisters s4 today, when i got it for her because she liked mine so much, anyways, niether my phone or her connects to Her home router, but her old iphone 5 does. and her husbands s3 does. so i replaced there router with this one
http://www.tp-link.us/products/details/?categoryid=238&model=TL-WR941ND
and i called the SP for her network information. and programmed the new router with this PDF guide
http://www.tp-link.us/resources/document/TL-WR941ND_V5_QIG_7106504193.pdf
WORKED LIKE A CHARM
the s4 just has new wifi technology that old routers are not compatible with, so at least thats what samsung said when i called them @roni2915
so first of all i own a galaxy s (very first one) used to own a galaxy s3 and now a galaxy s4 and everyone works fine with my router BUT the reason I am posting here is, that both of my wifes iphones (3gs and 5) had problems with my router and I was able to fix it by using a different encryption method. I used to have my router on WPA/WPA2 and changed it to WPA2 only and now i am having no compatibility issues plus i didnt have to downgrade my encryption security.
oh and regarding this new "wifi technology" which the s4 happens to use, my router is 2 years old and with the above settings it connects just fine
maybe you find my post helpfull
Just unplug your router for 10 seconds and then plug it back. Try again to connect to your router. Maybe your router doesn't see you new device.

My s3 and my sister's sony xperia acro s and other wifi devices works fine on our previous router. Only the S4 isn't. It always gets stuck on obtaining ip address then fails to obtain one saying the network is too slow and thus got disabled. When we changed our router to a new one it connected instantaneously so i'm pretty certain that this is a router incompatibility issue.
We're using this one btw http://www.tp-link.us/products/details/?categoryid=219&model=TD-W8980 took a week to arrive from the US shipping from our relatives there

Classic router issue, every new generation of phone will have some issue with older access points, in most cases a firmware update to the router / ap can solve the issue, though it does depend how old the AP is and the manufacturer. some Public hotspots are very very very old!

This can work but its rare in my experience, though sometimes factory resetting the AP can help if you have configured it for high band 54GX2 or what ever its called (double speed N) which wasnt standardised to begin with and thus has some issue with devices who are working on the standard. Dropping back to N or G can solve the issue.. just depends on router and setup.
