I Need Help Asap

Okay, I have spent the past few days reading different forums trying to figure out what is wrong with my wifi connection. No one can seem to find the problem. If you are up to the challenge, I would LOVE for anyone else's help.
My problem is as follows,
I got my tmobile MSD just a few days ago. I (being dumb) started messing with the connections before I read how to set them up. Now, whenever I attempt to connect through my WIFI it begins to load, then says this page can not be found. What in the world is wrong with it? I do not have a medi/data plan, so I do not want to use anything that will charge me, hince why I am attempting to use wifi. If anyone can tell me how to get this darn thing to work, I will love it! Thanks so much! have a great day

You are not giving the details needed for people to help you.
If you answer the following you may get a solution:
1) What WiFi network / hotspot are you trying to connect to?
2) Are you sure that network connects to the internet? (Other computers / devices using it?)
3) Are you sure it is not secure?
4) How did you set up your WiFi connection? (Give exact setup parameters)
5) Does the WiFi icon show connected?
6) What URL are you trying to access?
7) Can you access any other site, like google.com?
At the moment there is no way of telling where the problem is.

I agree with levenum... but also you could try this....
go to settings...connections....wifi...menu...remove settings. do a soft reset then.
then whenur ppc is back on again, put the wifi scaner on, find a available accessible network. u must be able to browse again. it has worked 4 me.
worse case-- hard reset

I am trying to connect to my wireless at work (it is not secure) My work computer/laptop can connect.
I have not attempted to do ANYTHING to setup my wifi. I simply turned my wifi on and it picked up the wirless connection. Yes it says it is connected. I have attempted to go to many different URLs, each says the same error message.
If i were to attempt to do a soft/hard reset how do I do that.
If you could not already tell, I am new at this enitre thing.

wiki
please then you must find out by reading the wiki what category does ur ppc fall under. alternatively read th ppc manual or look up on the internet the ppc specifications to find the rest button. usually its a tiny hole where u can insert the tip of the stylus into. that should resEt ur ppc

when i reset it, it will not mess with my SIM card will it

sim card

you really are new to this aren't you, don't worry reset does not mess wth the sim card, please don't panic, I had the same prblem as u indeed, and read the WIKI

haha I am! How could you tell lol. THanks for the help!

Before you reset know this:
1) Hard reset will erase all your data and installed programs and restore the phone to factory settings i.e. OS and built in apps only!
Make sure you back it up!
(See manual for button combination, or try Settings->system->Clear storage icon if you have it to preform hard reset)
2) Soft reset (just press with stylus in reset hole) will simply reboot the device.
Neither will help if you didn't manage to connect to WiFi even before messing with your settings.
Also, see if you need to manually enter a gateway or proxy address to connect to to your work network. (This depends on the network settings)
One last thing: when your network is detected and you are asked if it connects to 'The internet' or 'Work' be sure to select 'The internet'.
Thats all I can think of at the moment...

Wifi Guest Connection Problem

I've searched several forums for this problem with no luck. It seems this is not specific to the Droid X but many Android devices with some posts 2 years old. I figured this was a good place to start. Surely it's been solved by now.
I've been trying to connect to our guest wifi network at the hospital where I work. The X says connected and gives me a good signal. When I try to open the browser it doesn't give me the screen where I agree to the terms to get access. It attempts to send me to http s: //1.1.1.1... but the page never loads and instead gives an error about the lack of connection.
The network is open but the SSID is hidden. I have setup a new wifi connection with 'guest' and it sees the network. I can briefly see Citrix popup on the browser address bar before it sends me to the failure screen. I have turned off the popup blocker and tried the default browser, Dolphin, Skyfire, and XScope. I've also tried Open Wifi Login but since all I need to do is click this crazy button it doesn't work. The security certificate box is unchecked in settings and I've tried changing the browsers to desktop and even iphone. I do not have access to the router itself. I can connect to my secure wifi at home with no problem.
Sorry for dragging this out but I wanted to give as much info as possible. I've seen posts various places about this but never a solution. The worst part is a friend of mine has a new iphone and it brings the confirmation screen up and he's in immediately. Of course I've harassed the crap out of him about my huge screen, etc so he's really loving this. Any help is greatly appreciated.
Thanks!

Not sure, but the first weekend after the phone came out I was at a hotel in AL for a wedding and was able to connect to a guest access. The droid told me it found a wireless network, I connected and opened the browser and it took me to a page where I had to click 1 day access. All I can say is try getting a laptop or another phone and see if you see the address it goes to and email the link to yourself and try to connect that way.

[Q] No Wi-Fi

Bought my Galaxy yesterday and it works fine but on one point. Yesterday I was able to find the home network of my friend in his house. I could connect to the internet with that as well as through 3g. But later at my place it does not work with any home network. When I try Settings, Wireless and network, Wi-Fi settings and Wi-Fi, the phone turns on Wi-Fi and scans for some seconds and the leaves a message that says "Unable to scan networks".
Maybe I have switched on or off something accidentally as I am a new user on this phone? Anyone for help?

turn off the phone
then turn it back on
in another words, reboot your phone, seems like it got stuck in some WiFi bug

It does not seem to help. I even took out the battery. Still unable to to scan

you can try this
*2767*3855# WARNING! FACTORY DATA WIPE AND RESET as soon as you enter the last # use it only if you want to clean wipe your phone

I really don't want that as long as I also cannot backup the video in it. Have not got the Kies program to recognize the phone yet.
Maybe there is another way to set the scan possibility?

you don't need kies
see the last secret code?

It defaults to User space. I do not yet have any extra Micro SD card. Is it that what means with User space?

Tried that last command and do have at least one file of each in the folders, but the phone answers for each of them that the files are not ready? What else is there to be done?

Had same problem, tried factory reset... didn't solve it. any ideas? it can't get an ip address and it used to work

probably the next best thing is to use Odin to reflash the modem file to the phone
or a full flash to the latest firmware

Same problem appeared on my SGS. Boy this sucks. The wifi became "hard" to connect sometimes. Or I could connect but had no internet access. Then I disconnect and connect several times to have net access.
One hour ago the wifi died. I turn it on it says "Unable to search for networks" and shuts itself off.
WTF. I have to reflash!!!! Not good. Also I don't know what caused this. I'm on JM2 with One Click Lag fix 2.1

one thing is for sure, the STOCK rom has no problem with that
so it is either a Router thing, or a firmware specific problem

JM2 isn't a final release firmware. Realistically, if you want everything (well, other than GPS) to "just work", stick to official firmware.

Well, I for one, have only the the official firmware and it is the latest one what I have learned. Still the phone behaves as in my original post after just a couple of hours. Is this and other peoples beautiful Samsung Galaxy model not tested enough by Samsung? Has anyone more information than we have?

I agree thats Help me. or you can try upload update.zip (file to make root) on your device and flash that can help too.

Hi all! Thank you for your inputs to my problem. I have now got it working. For those who are interested how, I can tell you that I only did a simple Factory Reset command.

problem solved!
I had the same problem.
I was trying to configure a invisible ssid and by distraction I created a normal WPA 2 network, ending up with two networks with the same ssid (when I was turning off the wifi, it wouldn't go off at the first try, weird, )
Solution:
Edit the "/data/wifi/bcm_supp.conf" (with root permission) and eliminate the duplicated network, problem solved! At least in my case (no need for factory reset )

[Q] Can't login using my google account

Hi
I just bought a new asus transformer but I cant use my google account on it. when I try to add a new accoutn it says "Can't establish a reliable connection to the server"
Please help!
Thanks

1. You made sure WiFi is turned on, right? Just thought I would ask in case you missed it, there are some who might miss an obvious thing like that .
2. Do you have 2-factor authentication enabled for your Google account? If so you'll need to create a one-time password to login with instead of your regular password.

Hi
We have the same devices
I have tried doing that but I need google authenticator on the tablet and I cant download it from the market because I cant login
Am I missing something?
Thanks

OK
I managed to turn on 2 step verification and generate a password but when i try to add my account using that password it still does not work...
on my samsung galaxy s it took 2 seconds to authenticate...

What version of Honeycomb are you running? Perhaps updating to the latest version might help if you don't already have it? Also have you made sure you're close enough to your router to get a decent signal? Have you got any kind of internet access via WiFi at all on your TF (try opening a web page)? If not it might be a problem with the TF's WiFi, or you could just try again later in case it's a Google issue. Also when you said your SGS connected in just a couple of seconds was it connected to the same WiFi network as the TF, or did it connect over your mobile signal?
[EDIT]: Did you tweak the WiFi network settings on your TF at all? You didn't try to set a manual IP address, did you?

reset yogabook, but cant setup again as im in china

so here i am in china, did a factory reset , pressed the setup in English and connected to the internet. now i cant get past that as china don't allow google to come in ha, so I'm stuck as what to do? any ideas on how to get round this would be good, i'd even put another operating stysem on it, but not that geeked up on how to do it. so i'd need a step by step process, i have a cable and pc . my sd card don't seem to work in it either , it worked at one point, but now it does not recognise. thanks for any suggestions

In order for someone to assist you get a working device (if that's even possible, I for one do not live or have any experience in China), you need to supply more information about your problem. Are you stuck in the installation process? Have you set up your device, but you can't download apps? Can you not boot your device, or any ROM you've tried?
The more detail you give, the quicker we'll be able to do what we can to help. Good luck =D

basically i did factory reset, i get to go to the first screen, (language set up) then the next screen which is internet connection (it wont let you continue without this as you have to verify the last google email address) then i just get a then i just get the 'checking info,,,' screen which just does not continue from, not even to put my email address in. it just stays on this screen until the battery dies. china bans anything do with google or facebook. so this is why it will not continue from there. i need a google free rom and how to install it please, sorry about late reply, the only time the image verification works is if i connect to a vpn, china is so rubbish for anything to do with the internet, slow speeds and even the captcha thing don't work unless you vpn first.

From memory, I'm pretty sure when you first begin the installation setup thingo, there's a "skip" button down the bottom. Just double check, it may be further in the installation process, but it's worth a shot. That should bypass the need for a Google account.
Is it possible for you to use a VPN on a computer, and set up network sharing so that when you connect the tablet to your computer, it'll use that internet connection? I'm fairly certain it's possible.

yes you cant skip that bit, it is at the start, because you not allowed to skip the google log in bit as it was factory reset and had a previous account, will try the other method though, thankyou

No problem. If you need help with anything else, feel free to ask.

Did you try not connect your Wifi in the first step on your yoga book? I had the same experience when initialing my Samsung S6 and did skip the google logging process by not giving the device the internet connection.

You have to be connected to Internet, won't let you proceed without doing so due to verifying your Gmail account,. What a nightmare ha

I imagine there are ways around the great firewall. Can you use a cellphone's data via a hotspot? Assuming you have service that isn't also blocked. Maybe you can configure your router to use a proxy. I have limited experience with Tor, but in your situation I'd be trying to configure an access point to route all traffic through Tor.

I'm no tech pro by a long shot, but know how to sidestep a few problems, all this networking confuses me, my router is in Chinese so understand that even less than anything. i will try and connect to my mobile phone through the vpn that is on it. . maybe i'm gonna have to admit defeat and take it to the tech pro's in the next town hahaha

Give your cellphone with a vpn a shot. Depending on your vpn's access to google, and if your phone routes hotspot data through the vpn. Short of that... Have you contacted google? Maybe they have a solution for customers in your situation. You'd think there would be easy work arounds. Tor would absolutely be the best avenue - if you could navigate your yoga books connection through it.

I'm in China. Here's what you can try if you haven't found anything else that works.
1. Download and install Lantern VPN (getlantern.org) on your PC.
2. Determine what your PC's IP address is by going to the command prompt and entering ipconfig /all. This works best if your PC has a static IP address as it therefore won't change if the PC restarts.
3. Right click on the Lantern shortcut and add -addr=IPADDRESS:8787 (where IPADDRESS is the IP address you found in step 2) to the shortcut target.
4. Run Lantern on your PC.
5. Connect your Yoga Book to the same wireless network as the PC, then in the Advanced settings section of the Wireless network settings enter in your PC's IP address as your proxy and 8787 as the port.
This should allow your Yoga Book to share the Lantern VPN connection with your PC and therefore get over the Great Firewall. If you get it set up correctly it will work - this is exactly what I used on my Yoga Book when starting it up and it worked just fine.
