Wifi Connected but no Internet

Hi Guys, I have an interesting problem with my DHD..
My phone is showing that it is connected to my WiFi router (Orange Livebox [UK]):
Status: Connected
Speed: 48Mbps
Signal Strength: Excellent
Security: WPA/WPA2 PSK
IP address: 192.168.1.253
The wifi logo is present on the notification bar (but only showing 1 bar interestingly).
However, there is no internet access to the phone. I am unable to load any webpages in the browser, access the android market, or use any other app requiring internet access.
The wifi works perfectly fine on other networks at friends and public places.
I am currently running the Stock UK rom with no modifications, system is non-rooted.
I would appreciate any assistance on the matter, and if anyone can suggest a solution.
Thanks in advance!

Is MAC address restrict mode activated in your router?
Then add the MAC address of the HTC to the allow list in the router.

Just delete the apn settings and add it again. This fix my issue.

I also experienced wifi problems with my stock rom before flashing to the actual crom (leedroid). I had problems like you a few times, but also sometimes couldn't even get the wifi to connect (wifi on but no successful connection).
Never found out why, but runs perfect since using custom rom.

to fix this, i went into wifi settings, click menu, advanced, and untick use static IP. turn off phone and turn on again. did this help?

Unlike a PC, Android doesn't seem to notice when the WIFI network is local only . Dumb maybe, but check with a laptop, if your WIFI isn't local only...

The Nexus 4 connects but does not browse via wifi

Guys, recently bought a Nexus 4 and it normally connects via wifi but can not connect.
I was using the Android 4.2.2 OTA updated to Android 4.3 and the problem persists.
The Nexus 4 connects normally, but the icons of wifi connection and carrier signal are gray instead of blue and even trying to install applications via Google Play or simply access a site via browser do not work and accuse the connection fails.
I was tested and the router's signal is good and other equipment that I usually work (other Android smartphones and notebook).
My router is standard G and I use WPA2.
Someone is also going through this and know how to solve?
Thanks!

"The Nexus 4 connects normally, but the icons of wifi connection and carrier signal are gray instead of blue and even trying to install applications via Google Play or simply access a site via browser do not work and accuse the connection fails."
First off: Gray Bars = Not Signed on google, that means it still work but its not just connected to google server
Second: did you try checking your time? When i bought mine the time was correct but the zone was set to -8:00 while mine is - 3:00(GMT), i did that then corrected the hour and it worked(because of sites signatures being not valid depending how your isp treats them or something like dat, idk).
Third.: change your routers channel / signal strentgh(like 2.4ghz,5ghz)and type of security, i rememember psp´s and old nexus 4 having trouble with these(would not connect if on wpa or with tkip enabled).
if these dont work i suggest you to do wipe data(settings -> backup/restore -> factory reset(or something like dat)).
PS:
what i use for my wifi: http://prntscr.com/22jtpf

I checked my settings and GMT is correct.
I also saw your setup and my router is equal.
The only thing I did was a wipe, but I think this is not necessary, because I'm using the Nexus just 2 days and since it came from the factory already had this problem.
It's frustrating the Nexus 4 have these compatibility issues when connecting to a wifi router.

Oddly enough, I have the Nexus just 3 days and only had access to the router so far from home, but today I'll look for a router to test the public.
But either way it's frustrating the Nexus 4 have these compatibility issues when connecting to a wifi router.
Before making the switch router, is it not possible to find out which configuration of WLAN could cause this? Does Google do not have this documented?

i feel your pain, been there
it could be your router, from the way it assigns ip addresses to your type of encryption. by any chance is it a linksys G router? that was my problem before until i just decided to get an N router.
did you try switching to WEP or open to see if the problem persists? or changing your gateway ip address? or changing which ch your wifi is on?
never hurts to try

Should factory reset your router and upgrade firmware first, then immediately connect to it without encryption and see if it work.

PPP-Widget - Working with 4.4 Kitkat

Hopefully this will help others.
My N10 stock 4.4, I put PPP Widget on and it appeared to not work, initially it was "no driver found", on searching the forums it was basically "tough". To make it works involves:
The stock kernel from Google in 4.4 does not support PPP. Pick another kernel which does support PPP. Examples are tce-manta-krt16s_3_boot.zip. Many do.
Disable Wifi before you connect, or have a Wifi static setting with an Internet-visible DNS server IP (e.g. 8.8.8.8). This is because PPP Widget on stock 4.4 will use the DNS settings from your Wifi, not over-write them when using the dongle, which in most cases won't work as they are the Wifi router itself's own LAN IP which is not accessible when on the 3G/4G dongle. If you don't want to disable Wifi then go to your router and make it offer up an Internet-visible DNS IP address.
It will "connect" but not show any signs it is actually working, but it is.
I'm very pleased I got my Nexus 10 on both Kitkat 4.4 and get online with 4G dongle

I'm on PAC kitkat but it didn't work with rom kernel. The kernel you mentioned does work with multirom?

WiFi connection is stable, but Internet isn't

Somebody please delete my previous thread (wrong forum), thank you: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2707468
------------------------------------
WiFi connects to my router and stays connected at excellent signal strength without any trouble. Internet connection however, always disappears after a minute or so. Then my Dolphin Browser either keeps loading a website forever or gives me some error like "Webpage not available". Same story with stock or any other browser. I'm not sure since how long I have had this issue. It surely existed already when my phone came back from warranty service (and I had sent it there because of very short range of WiFi commonly known problem which they fixed by giving the phone new hardware). I think that upgrade to Android 4.2.2 might have caused my problem, but it was such a long time ago that I don't remember now (I don't use/need WiFi that much, mobile data internet is enough for me).
What I've tried so far:
-rebooting phone and router obviously
-factory formatting the phone
-WiFi analyzer app
-changing all the network parameters and re-setting it up
-WPS connecting
-playing with all the WiFi settings on my phone (proxy settings, ip settings, wifi optimization and other)
-finally, today I unlocked bootloader, rooted and installed custom ROM hoping it'd help (but it didn't and now I lost my warranty lol)
What I have:
HTC One X Endeavor
Android 4.2.2 HTC Sense 5.0
Android Revolution HD 33.1
3.1.10-g7f360be Kernel version
TP-LINK
N750 Wireless Dual Band Gigabit Router
Model No. TL-WDR4300
I'm thinking about installing other ROM, some that works on Android 4.0 or KitKat, could it help?
Oh, and I should add that two different notebooks, Galaxy S4, S3 mini, Xperia X10 and a tablet all work fine with this network :>
I can provide any screenshots, photos, names of devices etc., just tell me what is needed.
HELP!

I have a similar problem with my device, but I just reset my router and it's fine. Maybe your problem is that your phone doesn't receive an ip address. You can check out if you have received an address via settings->wi-fi-> advanced, and check the 'ip address'. If it says ' not available, reset your router and your phone's wi-fi until you get one.

Nopes, IP reception is fine. Here are all my settings:
Status: Connected
Signal strength: Excellent
Link speed: 26Mbps
Security: WPA/WPA2 PSK
IP address: 192.168.0.101
Proxy settings: None
IP settings: DHCP
As I said earlier, I have been playing with all the network settings above as well as with the phone WiFi advanced settings and it didn't change anything.

Hm…it may be a hardware problem.
