can not start wifi

Always can not start wifi
maybe can start it 1 time after many times fails.

Do you have Toggle WiFi and Shopsavvy installed. I have heard that these two do not play nice and could cause wifi connection issues.
Do you have any other applications that affect the wifi directly?

Tks, already cover it through reseting factory data. But it is a simple but not good solution. I also tried to reset it in the past but did not solute it. this time, I do not know why it successed.
As you said, I installed shopsavvy.

[Q]gmail and market app not working on wifi

Hey guys, I am facing a weird problem after updating an OTA released yesterday by HTC (2.2.1). My gmail app and market app is not working when on wifi. It works perfectly on Mobile data connection though (EDGE). I get a no connection error in gmail and network error in market app.
I have done the following but to no avail.
1. Soft reset and boot into safe mode.
2. Uninstalled task killer app.
3. Deleted all data for these apps and updated the gmail app and setup the account again.
I have not tried the hard reset as yet. Can anyone help me out please? TIA

Thats not good at all. Is your handset branded?

Hey Andy,
Thanks for replying although your reply does make me nervous :s. I am from India and we only get unbranded sets here. So to answer your question it is a unlocked unbranded phone running stock firmware.
By the way after I posted the question I did get these two apps working once for sometime but since then it's the same problem. I am starting to wonder whether it has to do something with the wifi although all the remaining apps are working fine and dandy.

Is the wifi access point owned by you? You could try turning it off and on again, that may help.

Have tried that. It is my home network that I am connecting to using a linksys wireless router.
UPDATE - I connected my phone using internet pass through i.e. sharing the internet through PC via the data cable and I still get the same error which leads me to believe some setting on the router provided by my ISP is causing this. Although what I fail to understand is that it was working fine till yesterday and nothing have been changed in the router setup recently.

Hmm... that's odd. Did your ISP supply your router? My ISP pushed a firmware update to my router about 8 months ago that broke pretty much everything wireless.
Is it just Gmail & Market that don't work over wifi? Does your browser and other apps work?

Yes indeed, my ISP provides a router which is then connected to my wireless router. The strange thing is everything else is pretty much working including gtalk.

If your router supports DMZ and you know how to set it up, you could try putting your DHD's IP into the DMZ to eliminate the possibility of your routers inbuilt firewall blocking Market & GMail.

Maybe a DNS problem? Ensure you have good ones... You can always test Google ones 8.8.8.8 and/or 8.8.4.4

Thanks for showing interest guys. I for some strange reason cannot access my router settings page. I will figure that out but the stranger things are happening with my apps. After a bit of tinkering I have found a behavior which stumps me.
These are the steps I follow:
1. Sign out from gtalk.
2. Go to manage applications and clear cache and data for gmail, market, download manager, Google backup transport, google partner setup and google services framework.
3. Restart phone.
After this my gmail app starts working on wifi but talk does not start anymore and market also throws an error before even accepting the terms. I uncheck and check the background data services and I am back to square one i.e. gmail stops syncing saying no connection, gtalk works as usual and market starts giving connection error (after accepting terms).
I seriously think now there's a serious flaw in the software and not something to do with my router settings.
Sorry for the long post. Thanks for reading.

Simillar problem appeared for me in Locations. I couldn't list country maps for preload on wifi without 3G. After turned on 3G, it listed the maps - turn off - and i could download with wifi.

[Q] More WIFI problems

Hello everybody.
Yesterday night the WIFI in my Nexs 7 32th with 4.2.2 stopped working out of the blue, literally because the bars irrevocably grey and they have been like such ever since.
I tried rebooting the modern, performing a reboot on the tablet and then I did a factory reset; only to encounter the same ongoing problem.
I must mention that the WIFI works on other network. I had this problem a while back and I solved it by tweaking around with th advanced setting me menu while selecting the network, however, I completely forgot what I did and I cannot find any thread that explains the whole solution.
Thanks a lot!

UPDATE; So I kept tweaking with the advanced settings and now I can use Chrome and web browsing but bars are still grey and I cannot sign i to Google Services with my account. I cannot use Gmail, youtube or Play Market.

Nobody got any idea on how to solve this?
I even disabled the firewall on the modem with no success.
By the way my modem is a Century Link PK500

UPDATE2: So I am using a whole different router and the bars are still grey... anybody got any idea?
I csn browse the internet and use apps but I cannot connect to Google Services.

A kernel is what bridges hardware and software. Try flashing a different one.

I think I had the same problem and used it by removing my Google Account and then adding it again...
Hope I could help you

Thanks for your replies guys nobody else has stepped in to help
I might try to flash another kernel, removing the acc does not work since I already performed a factory reset and problem was still there. Needless to say that i can't remove one because there are none synced.
I can use browser and stuff perfectly, however, it says it can't establish a reliable connection to the server.

Serious WiFI Issues

Hoping someone can help me
My S7 Edge WiFI connection is playing up. My phone is fine on data network but only when connected on WiFi (Have tried other networks too) it has some serious problems like,
- Whatsapp notifications not received unless I switch to data connection or open the app
- Trouble loading internet applications, they just hang randomly but if I switch to data then they load
I first noticed this when I switched over to SuperManROM, however I have since reflashed the previous ROM I was using and still have the same issues. I've tried custom kernels and stock kernels and no difference.
Is it simply a faulty WiFI chip in the S7 Edge or coudl it be something software related? An important point to mention is that for the SuperManROM I had to update the bootloader and Modem, but I did downgrade them again to see if there was any change
Please help

Having the same issues. Tried multiple Wifi networks, same issue. Shows I'm connected to it, but no throughput. Tested the same networks on my laptop with no issues.
I'm using SuperSU.

This happens to me too, but only when I enable power saving mode, could that be your issue?

Well I thought it fixed it, but it doesn't look like it did. Rebooting the phone to see if that helps
Update: even after a reboot no luck.
On cell data no issues. As soon as I connect to Wifi, I lose it.
Update 2: Had a system update available. Tried to install it, and after the phone rebooted it told me the update failed, but the Wifi works okay for the moment. Honestly no clue.

You guys got any VPN profiles installed or anything?
Settings - More Connection Settings -> VPN

Great to hear that the problem is fixed for now, hopefully the problem won't return!

Wifi

I have searched and searched. I can't find anything that can help me to find what is going on. I have a rooted/xposed moto x pure edition on Lollipop. My wifi won't work at my house. This is a problem only for the network at my house. I keep getting a "obtaining ip address" loop until it finally says "ip configuration failure"
Again this is only for my home network. It works everywhere else. I tried changing my ip to static (It then connects but doesn't have internet access), resetting all network settings, forgetting and reconnecting to the network.
I downloaded CatLog and have attached a screenshot of that.
I guess I could just wipe it and restore my apps from Titanium Backup but I'd like to avoid that if possible

If it only happens at your house, try playing with your router... factory default that first.

I did a factory reset on the router. All the other devices are still working normally except my phone. It seems to have come after my apps updated (I don't get OTA updates for my OS)

Go to Settings - Backup & Reset and select Network Settings reset and confirm, reboot, and try to add your home network again.
Be aware that ALL saved network settings and passwords will be lost performing this operation, but all other data will be intact.

Thank you acejavelin! That did the trick. I was looking for that network reset. Worked like a charm.
