[Q] Wifi Connected but no Internet Access - Networking

Hi guys! I just wnted to ask something.
I rooted my phone with Baidu Root Application, and well, it was rooted.
After my phone was rooted, i can now use gamecih, titanium backup, and any other apps that require root. Here, I still have internet access. After a few days, I don't have internet access anymore. In our laptop, my mother's phone, and my father's phone, and my brother's tablet I have internet access but not on my cellphone.
Before, I got my new phone (Lenovo A396i) I have a Samsung Galaxy Y rooted. I got this same problem too. But, in the Galaxy Y, an expert rooted it, not me. And they installed Superuser in it. I got the same problem too, I connected to our wifi and it doesn't have internet access.
I tried to format my phone, unroot it with SuperSU, downloaded apps that can fix wifi, and rebooted it so many times.
Is this problem normal or not?
What should I do?

Do you have the same problem on other Wifi? (At school, work, ..) or just at home?
It might be a dynamic IP problem, maybe even from your wireless and not your phone.

I don't honestly know. Now, I don't connect to other wifi because there are no open wifi's. But, what if the problem is my smartphone and what should I do? And if the problem is the wifi what should I do too?

If the problem was from the Wifi, usually there is a problem from assigning dynamic IP to your phone. Usually if you're having this problem you'll get "Obtaining IP address" Message on your phone while connected to your WIFI.
You can try to assign a static IP address for your phone as mentioned here. You have to know the range of available IP addresses from your Wifi router though.
Anyway if it's your phone, I suggest try to "Forget Network" and then try to connect again. In worst cases, you can flash a stock ROM, and try a different root method.

did you man already install CWM ?

What sort of more info do you need......... please elaborate
stuff like info about the wifi network, if you've checked several networks, signal strength, which browser (stock or other browser), have you tried other internet based apps etc...
In the OP you are pretty much saying "hey, i connect to a network and cant open a website, help!" How can anybody deduce the exact problem from that?

I simply connected wifi and it got conected......... it show in the settings that wifi is connected....... now, i trying to access net via the default browser which comes with galaxy 3, but it is not able to open any page. even I tried to connnect gmail it is also not getting connecting.......showing connection error............
this is the real problem
Does this happen on only one wifi network or on more networks? If its only on one it might be a network specific issue, like having to set DNS, or something else. If you have only experienced it on one (even if you only tested on one) what can you tell me about the network; is it your home network, school network, work network or whatever, what kind of protection it has.
Tell me us anything you can about this situation, since we cant conclude what the situation is, is it a problem with the phone, with the wifi network, aliens disrupting your phone to get some laughs out of it. It could be anything!

It happens with all the network, it tried accessing from office as well
I am trying to access wifi from my home network....... tried from office as well......
both the connection are not protected....... though I am that technical for such stuff..... but knows that anyone can access my internet. I just realized this, when one of my friend was browsing net on his laptop from my wifi connection
even my phone says that wifi is connected. but there is problem with browser... none of app is connecting....... not even FB, games or any other application
Before resetting try to reboot the phone.
done, still the same problem
Which rom do you have ? have u flashed any ??
do you have a data connection turned on?
Hi.
I have wi-fi problem too. Just appeared 2 days ago. Wi-fi was working normally at my friends house and after i've selected "forget" on his wi-fi and now i cant connect wi-fi at home. It says "unable to scan networks". In phone status there is Wi-Fi MAC address unavailable. If you have an idea just write it down!
Didnt try factory reset yet, hoping you have better idea!
Sry for bad english..
you have to be roooted:
delete or rename(i suggest an extension change with the date) bcm_supp.conf in /data/wifi/
I suggest using root explorer, terminal is also an option.
warning, you will lose saved wifi networks/passwords.
you can open the file to retrieve some passwords.
if you have a titanium backup of system data i think you could restore it with that, not sure about it.
I dont care about passwords, will get them easy.
But i'm not that good using Terminal Emulator. What should i write in it to rename/delete bcm_supp?
EDIT : you are my hero! just installed root explorer (really cool apk), renamed the file above and works fine!
If u ever come to Croatia you got a beer

Yup, root explorer is a nice app, I had to do it via the terminal myself a couple of times, not as pleasant as with root explorer.
P.S. I got a beer, yay! Where in Croatia?

[Q] Limited connectivity wifi issue

I just bought a Rogers arc and everything is great so far, except the wifi. For whatever reason when i try to connect to my home network, although it recognizes it and connects i get a "limited connectivity" which effectively does not allow me to use wifi at all. ive tryed rebooting the phone and reseting my router (which is a D-link DI-524.) any help would be appreciated.
you could go in the router settings and register the phones mac address to a ip of your choice. it should do the trick i think...
I finally figured out what the problem was, i had to update the firmware on the router and then manually add the MAC address like dogggie said and after a reboot voila!
I don't want to make another thread since my problem is similar to this one. So in my school there is a hiden Wi-FI network and it has got a password, but we know Name and Password, so we can connect to Wi-Fi. But here is the thing: My friend who has SGS2 connect's without any problems, but everytime I try to connect to Wi-FI i get "Limited Connectivity" mesage. Is there any way to fix this? Can I somehow get Gateway and Netmask from router, so I can set static IP on my phone or sometheing like that?
Thanks for answers.

I have the same problem. Hidden Wi-Fi in school, limited connectivity. Works for some people, doesn't for most.
I have used CM7 for some time and the Wi-Fi worked with it, but I flashed the stock ROM back and now, again, it doesn't work.
Oo, another one form Slovenia Lep pozdrav. Šola je pa TŠC Kranj.
It also worked for me when I was testing Offical Beta ICS, but now I am back on stock 2.3.4 and all I can get is limited conectivity

Same school.
Today it works. I have just manual set gateway, DNS servers, netmask and my own IP.
Cool. Mind sharing the values you used?

loose wifi

postm said:
Yesterday I encountered an issue with N4 unable to connect to a Wifi. I was at a customer, trying to login to guest wifi.
When I entered the password, the AP would disappear and went to "Not in reach" status. It would be available agaib only after a forgot the network and re-scanned manually.
I had access to a iphone and ipad and samsung Note at the time, all at the same spot. All had strong wifi and no problems connecting.
Unfortunately, I was unable to find out any more details (wifi model, channel...).
I'm on 4.2.2, PA 3.1, no kernel mods.

It seem that i get this problem only at home.
My tab10.1, my xperia, my gf pc and my desktop pc have no problem finding the wifi

Phone wifi says connected but I have no access

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?

Manually set IP information on your phone and set the DNS to 8.8.8.8 (Google). Otherwise I'd recommend checking for the latest update on the Wireless router.

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!

Unroot

Hi everyone,
Yesterday I bought the s10+ for a decent prive of someone. Im really excited to use the phone. My last phone was the s7 edge, and after transfering all my old stuff i finally could start playing around. But after login in on all my apps i found out that the phone is rooted. And because of that i cant use the samsung pass app for all my passwords. Is there any easy way to get rid of the root?
Kind regards
Hello,
once the phone is rooted samsung pass will never work again. (also shealth and knox folder)
the only workaround for this is to use google pass. (google auto fill password manager idk the name)
Thank you for your quick response.
I found the google password setting.
I dont mind using this then.
There is one more issue on which i have not been able to find a solution for.
When i try to connect to the router in my room for wifi. It fails and says "couldnt get ip adress". I can connect to every other router here, but not to the one in my room. I am able to connect to it with my older phone though. I tried forgetting and again or resetting the router. Also resetting the router settings on the phone itself didnt do anything.
Any advice on that?

You can try manually setting the ip address (static ip).
