Broken Wifi? And Skype not working?

Hi all I got the US HD2 when it first came out and since then I have been very happy with it. But just now for some reason it won't connect to my home wifi anymore. It worked this morning but then like an hour ago it just won't work. I did a hard reset and the problem still exists. Any chance that this is caused by maybe a overheat or anything like that? Or maybe it's time for me to go back to the store and get another one?
Also I tried so hard to get Skype for Windows Mobile working on it but no luck. I searched online and saw people saying it is working but for some reason it just won't connect at all. I managed to get to the login screen, type in the info and then click sign in. Then it just stayed at the Skype logging in screen with the rotating blue circle. After a minute or 2 an error pops up saying there is error connecting please check data connection. I tried to do this with wifi, 3g, and ActiveSync and they all got the same result. So anyone got any idea about why? I really need to have Skype working on my phone as I need to have a foreign number.
Thank you all
the other day I was trying to connect to wifi after trying to use the 'share internet' tethering option...and it just kept loading over and over (the wifi sign) and it would not connect....
I flashed it back to stock and then flashed it to the latest energy rom now it seems fine..but I have not tried the tethering option yet, maybe that has something to do with it... not sure..
I figured out the WiFi problem. It turns out that I turned turned the encryption of my router from tkip to aes by accident and the HD2 doesn't work on aes. But I am still having trouble connecting to Skype... Anyone got amy luck? Or perhaps can somebody who managed to get Skype working help me out a bit?
Here's my WiFi issue...
My HD2 shows that it is connected but there is no data flow. I have a Linksys WRT610n router which is PW secure. I also have a HTC S743 that connects with no issues. I'm having a WTF red alert here... any help would draw 2 quarts of blood from me for payment, which you could sell for crack money. Anyone?

Yeah I got it.. I slipped the sim card out and then reinsert it, I noticed it went in just a tad deeper, it did the trick. WiFi is now working. The world can continue to spin. Carry on...

Wifi connected but still not working

Hi, Ive been having problems with my wifi connections lately. Im running stock rom on my vibrant and from time to time I have trouble with the wifi conection. the vibrant will connect just fine with a strong signal but will not load webpages, or open market. This problem happens sometimes. The connection is a secure wap. I am wondering what I can do to fix this issue, its really frustrating.
Thanks in advance
btw all other devices in the house have no problem connecting and using this connection. Sometimes I will have my laptop in front of me using this very conneciton.
Happens to me all the time. Have to disconnect it and reconnect. If it still doesn't work, you have to reset your phone.
My friend is having same problem with wife on his Vibrant....is the a hardware or software problem? Because I had Captivate and it never had this problem since I had the phone.
WIFI is good and connect is Excellent.... but just can't use it to surf web or log on fring.....HOWEVER, it was able to logon the Market today using wifi.. Does anyone know why and how to fix this problem?
Thanks!!
What exactly do you mean by reset? you mean a factory restore? Im finally likng the battery life on this phone I dont want to lose that, will that be affected? Is there any other fix?

[Q] Problems with WiFi and data connection

Hello
Sometimes when i have wifi and data enabled at the same time, my internet connection stops working.
But if i disable wifi or data i will get my connection back. Even just cycling wifi make it work for some time again.
Is anyone else experiencing this problem? Or does anyone have a solution?
I have been reading around and think it may have something to do with Internet Sharing and Interop-unlock.
i had the exact same problem, but worse. i had to switch to airplane mode and back to get internet working. and it was a very frequent and annoying problem.
for me updating to 8107 over zune was the solution. no more connection issues.
(internet sharing however i do not have anymore - but as you said, it could be related to this -so screw it i don't share my internet if it crashes mine )
This is a very common fault (there are several threads on the topic.)
Call Samsung support and ask them to get of their asses and fix the problem. I called and they said that they had no other report on that same problem..
Have the same problem, but I have to restart my phone for it to start working again. *__*

Wifi Connection Problems

To all:
I have an ATT Galaxy S4. It is stock running I337UCUFN1. The problem is I can not connect to any Wifi locations that prompt for a login screen. When I first got the phone it was not a problem, but now it wont work. I can connect at home, but not at the gym or at work where I do not have access to the routers. I have called Samsung, but they want my phone for 7-10 days to fix it.
Does anyone have any ideas?
Thank you,
Jeff

[Q] Automatically connected to home WiFi but no Internet (nothing works!)

Hi all, as noted in subject, occasionally I am connected to WiFi but I get no active connection (nothing comes in or goes out). The only way I remedy this is disabling/enabling WiFi and as this is a small annoyance, any reason this happens? I have an RT-66U router as well, if it matters.
Thanks and happy holidays.
Nobody?
Hi
could you solve it already?
if not, switch location settings to GPS ONLY.
good luck

Yeah I'm having the same problem except even when disabling/enabling wifi, I can't get a reliable active connection. It's only when I turn on airplane mode and off and reconnect. Then will I get a reliable internet connection. I'm not sure what's going on. The strangest thing is this problem occurred over time. First month, no problem. 2nd months, occasionally. now, into the 3rd, it's on a daily basis. My previous Verizon Note 2 also had this issue but then seemingly disappeared, only to rear it's ugly head a few months down the road.
Here's a post on reddit with others having the same issue: http://www.reddit.com/r/galaxynote4/comments/2ks0ap/note_4_wifi_issue/
Not sure if a custom rom would solve it. For now I'm just using my 4G connection as I have the unlimited plan.
turn smart switch off and see if it helps. does it get an ip address ?
Have you rebooted the router? Unplug it, wait a few seconds, then plug it in again. My router does this every now and then.
Also try rebooting your phone.
If neither one of those work, then you can try factory resetting your phone as a last resort. After that, if it's still not working then either your phone or router is busted.
