It's been working fine until a few days ago when I connected my N7 to my phone using Foxfi. It connects to the wifi hotspot fine, but the wifi signal is greyed out in the navbar and I can't get any kind of connection while on foxfi's wifi. My regular home wifi works fine though.
I've tried turning wifi on/off and still don't get anything from foxfi anymore. Anyone else have this problem and have an idea on how to fix it? Again, it was working fine from day 1 and it's only started doing this a couple days ago and I haven't changed any ROM or anything to it.
Also, my weather widget seems to have stopped updating, its showing 27F as the current temp, which it's clearly 90+ right now.
Foxfi works fine on my N7, but it can be flaky. Sometime it shows up as out of range despite being next to my phone. Restarting Foxfi fixes it for me.

Hey guys, newbie user and android owner.
I picked up the vibrant the other day. So far its rooted, android-wifi-tether, and i performed the gps fix on it.
I really like the phone, but whenever I connect to my wifi router, it stops all data (android market, web browser, etc) It says connected and doesn't show any signs of problems. Am I doing something wrong?
Thanks for any help you can throw my way.
Hmm. Mine has problems with "No Connection" when it's connected to my wireless at home, but I just figured it was my router's fault since my computer gives me the "unable to load web page" thing all the time too. My router sucks, though. Maybe your does too?
Yeah, mine does it sometimes too. I just turn on airplane mode, and turn it back off...works fine after that. Its a hit or miss issue.
Mine works fine running off if my router. Btw, do you actually have the wi-fi tether working? Because I thought we needed a working kernal for that to work.
Feeling Vibrant on xda-app
Yup that did it for me. All I had to do was turn on airplane mode and then turn it back off. Wifi working for me now. Thanks.

Please tell us how you got wifi tethering to work without a custom kernel.

you know, i have a similar issue, where im connected to my router but i dont get internet and 3g goes away the moment i connect to wifi... airplane mode didnt help tho... its interesting really..
ive tried other routers and my phone can get wifi w/internet from them
i did factory reset on my phone 3 times trying to figure this out; 2 of the three times i got wifi to work w/internet until i disconnected and connected again. then i just got the same problem all over again
On my droid X my wifi tethering drops often using either wifi for root users or verizons app with the NAI changed (aka not paying for it), Anyone else having this problem. laptop just stops working or netflix streaming stops but device appears to still be connected. Never really used the wifi tethering enough with my other devices in the past (dinc, droid 1, etc) but its annoying now that i have a small laptop and try to use it often. PDAnet works perfect via cable, so maybe its the droid x wifi driver thing?

by drop do you mean the cellular data connection or the wifi connection? one possibility (unlikely) is if you are receiving a lot of texts. I know that on my X when i receive a text the data connection stops while receiving a text. By stops i mean the data arrows are inactive every time i receive a text regardless of what i'm doing with my data. however i doubt this would cause your netflix to stop. do you have certain power settings to change the data state when the screen turns off or something?
Mine does the same thing. I can use it usually anywhere from 2 minutes up to 10-15 mins max. It does this using 3G Mobile Hotspot & Wireless Tether (ad-hoc). In fact I was looking around on Google, and saw a bunch of people with the same issue, ones that were even paying for the tethering option. Mine is so bad that I don't even bother with it anymore.
I'm using the PDAnet USB connection right now, and it's working without issue. I also have great results with Bluetooth DUN, but it 'feels' slightly slower when compared to the USB connection. (which could all be in my mind)
I've had it happen on the stock OTA 2.2, Rubix Blurry .3, and now Rubix Blurry 1.0. I had it happen overclocked @ 1.2, LV 1Ghz, underclocked LV @ .9 and am currently back at stock speed and voltage.
im assuming its moto's hardware then shame with fission i was actually starting to like the phone alot
Before my internet was connected at my home I used my phone as a hot spot and it worked flawlessly. I never had a connection issue except when I would receive phone calls.
yep. mine stops ALOT. ill get lucky and stay connected for a few minutes here and there but it will disconnect non the less. PDA is ok but still.
3g hotspot and wifi tether for root useres works great for me. Both only drop when I receive a call such sucks if you are in the middle of modern warfare match.

Mine is terrible. 2-5 minutes max connection time. I had to switch to usb as well.

Mine did this too,but all my smart phones have. Not just motos. A few wks ago I started using barnacle on my dx and havent had much of of a problem since. Maybe once an hr I have to stop and start tether again. It was acting up yesterday but I figured out battery manager app will kill the connection. Lemme know if it works or it's just a coincidence.

Hello,
I am trying to use FoxFi with my Nexus 7 tablet. I have a Photon 4G that I am running it on. I just did a factory reset on my Photon and my tablet is brand new. I can connect for only a few minutes and my Nexus 7 will drop connection but FoxFi shows that it is still turned on, just does not show it is connected anymore. I've made sure that any timeouts have been disabled, I have no app killer on my tablet or phone. Everything is up to date. Bluetooth DUN connection works fine when using PDANet, Open Garden, and FoxFi but I can't get a lot of the google applications to work when using that method.
FoxFi shows up on my tablet fine, connects fine but after 30 seconds to a minute it will disconnect and then maybe 5 minutes later it will reconnect only to drop the connection another 30 seconds later. I also did a factory reset on my tablet. Both are back to factory settings and they are still having the same problem.
I saw there was another problem along these lines and they said that the problem was an app killer. I don't have any of those installed.
Anyone have any other ideas? I am fresh out of them.
Regards,
locohammerhead
Did you ever come to a solution? I have the same exact problem.

Foxfi just doesn't seem to be all that reliable. I can start it on my phone and have a hotspot up and nothing will be able to see it until I clear the apps data and restart the phone.

It's a FoxFi quirk. Play with it enough and it will resolve itself.
For instance, installed FoxFi on my Droid Charge, connected fine to my Nexus 7, put the Charge in my purse, and a few minutes later the Nexus loses connection. Pull out the Charge and it still claims to be connected, or claims to not be running while having the icon in the notification bar.
Install the Proxy, and the Nexus 7 cannot connect. Set the Nexus to use the Proxy settings, and it works great for a while, then won't connect. Have to delete the proxy settings on the Nexus and go back to DHCP to make it work while proxy is enabled on the Charge. Annoying.
Now I tend to put the Charge in my purse with the screen still on to ensure my signal. lol This is on the replacement Charge, the original would keep the connection solid without the screen on without issue. Still tweaking the replacement's settings.
I got rid of Foxfi. I flat out couldn't stay connected while on the go. Nexus 7 would lose connection with Foxfi / Samsung Prevail every block I I walked. Annoying. I would get the "out of range" on the tablet in wifi connections but the phone/ the Foxfi app would still show as broadcasting. I use Open Garden now and I stay connected solid.

Here's my problem, and I've seen many problems with wifi here and on other forums but nothing exactly like this.
When I'm at work, my phone connects to the network over there without any problem but, every time I come home, it simply shows my network as "Not in range", even at 2 feet away from the router (WPA PSK security). I've tried turning wifi off and on, resetting my router, "forgetting" my network on the phone. Nothing does the trick unless, I restart my phone and then it connects automatically and stays connected until I leave.
Something strange I noticed tonight; I went to my son's hockey game and, at the arena, I noticed it still showed as connected to my home network!?!?!!?
I started noticing this issue a few days ago, after flashing the 4.2.2 image from Google. My phone is rooted and is running the latest clockworkmod recovery but otherwise, still stock.
Something else I just noticed; my Nexus 7 doesn't have the same issue...
Anybody else having the same issue? Any hints on what's going on?
I also have this issue. But I had the problem before 4.2.2

Got to work this morning... wouldn't connect to the network here because... It was still connected at home, 40km away. That's a powerful router!
Any clues as to what might be the cause?
What brand/type of wireless router are you using? What type of security?
We gotta be more than 2 with this problem... I've seen so many issues with wifi with this phone on other threads... Weird
Last night I went to my parents and again, my phone wouldn't connect to their home network so, its definitely not my router. So I made a backup of all my apps and returned to 4.2.1 and voila, wifi problems are fixed, for now...
So I got the Nexus 7 today from Amazon, did the setup, connected to wifi and had no issues. Very soon after, the Wifi showed it was still connected, but I couldn't update apps, go on the browser, get emails, etc. It looks like the Wifi is connected, but nothing that requires a connection is working. I tried factory resetting, but nothing helped. Has anyone else come across this issue? And ideas on what might be the problem?
Had that same issue. Rebooting my router fixed it for me.
Are you using 5ghz? 2.4?
I've been traveling all week and had no problems with my home 2.4/5ghz Linksys router nor any hotel access points I've used. Seems to work great. So you can't get online at all? No browser, no email, no apps, no play store, etc?
Perhaps you typed your password in wrong. What about router security?
Mine was doing some crazy stuff like that as well.
I rebooted the device and haven't seen that since.
