Hi,
can anyone take me through how to go about doing this, as I'm completely stuck.
When i got my XDA Mini s, i turned the WIFI on and it immediately recognised the router - and it has good signal strength, but when i go to connect to the internet, I can't seem to get it connected. Also, how can I see all my computers from the XDA???
I really need some help - PLEASE HELP ME!!!!!!!!1

when i still was running 2k3 i'd exactly the same problem, i most times solved it with resetting my phone till it got connected or goed to network cards (with wireless on) and manual connect to the netwerk there (a hundred times).......

Using my Tilt from AT&T I swapped out the stock ROM for the Sleuth v3 ROM and haven't had a problem since. Well until now. This morning I realized that the WiFi wasn't connected when I went to get a file from my email, normally it's just easier to do that rather than download it to my PC and transfer it. But when I went to activate the WiFi, the WiFi turned off immediately after establishing a connection to the router.
I know it's not the router, the PC I'm using right now is connected to it, as are 2 other PCs. I tried connecting to another wireless network, but the WiFi on the Tilt does the same thing - connect then deactivate.
I'm pretty much stuck and I was wondering if anyone had any ideas?
*edit* Sorry, forgot to mention that up until now I haven't had an issue with the wireless.
*edit2* Using the internet sharing, I'm suddenly now connected to the wireless network? Maybe I somehow blundered my way through... I'll experiment and keep this post updated.
my Trinity 3600i got same wifi issue as yours before. but It seems recover after I reflashed a new rom.
Ok so now I'm not really sure whats going on. From Comm manager, I click the WiFi button and it starts to connect. Once it does, the WiFi is disabled within 1-2 seconds of connecting.
I tried the Internet Sharing option with my Tilt hooked up to my PC and instead of connecting to the EDGE network, it connects to the wireless network. When I look at the comm manager screen again, the internet sharing is disabled, but the wifi is enabled.
Same thing is happening to me. I connect for a second, and then wireless lan disables itself. Using dutty's WM6.1 WWE with radio 1.58.26.20. I have another att tilt with the same problem (I unlocked it one earlier today). I'm going to try messing around with my router a little more.
Anyone got any ideas?
edit: apparently, if it's connected to your computer via usb, if you turn on wireless lan, it'll shut itself off. Then if you unplug the usb, it'll turn on. boy do I feel stupid.
ah haha, i totally forgot about the USB wifi thing, i usually dont let it connect when im connected to the computer so i forgot about this x.x very sorry i couldnt have helped about this ealier
I just hope this addresses your problem Elm0
Hello fellow diamond users!
First off I'm not new to XDA's and WM6, I've had two XDAs before and have always browsed these forums for advise, although I've not been an active poster.
But now I'm stumped. I just cannot get my O2 Ignito to connect to any secured wireless network (unsecured is fine!)
I've even just done a hard reset just to be sure.
The phone can see the network, I'm trying to connect to a mixed mode (11b & 11g) wireless WPA/PSK (WPA+WPA2) but the phone simply refuses to connect! I've even double checked the settings on my old Wizard to be sure (which still connects fine!) and reset the key and checked this with an iPhone which connects fine.
Does anyone have any suggestions?
I m not sure it can help u in this case, but give it try...
Go to Wireless LAN >> Power mode,
and change from Best Battery to Best Performance and try,
I had this problem once and I found that some routers don't know to support Power save mode
Tried that already still no joy.
This is really doing my head in now!
I think its router specific, as I've just connected to the wireless connection of the company downstairs...with there permission of course!
is DHCP or mac address filtering enabled?
Hi there!
I've the same problem. I've an "old" TYTN II working fine and a Diamond which doesn't support wpa-psk secured network. No MAC filtering, no DHCP, no nothing! Just doesn't connect. Sometimes it gets connected (after restart or when coming from sleep mode) but then i turn off wi-fi, turn on again, it founds the net but simply doesn't connect.
Does anybody has an idea?
THXS!
Hey...
I have tried to connect to the internet by Wi-Fi, but i can't get connection to the internet. When I try to connect to my network it says "Connecting to network", but the connection then fails. Plz help!! I have tried everything i could think of!!!
(Sorry for my bad english)
if the crypt is correctly set and the password is set correctly
I would update the firmware on the router many manufacturers fix bugs and improve compatibility
Yes this happened to me once and it turned out I hadn't set up my network properly. (I think the problem was I had two devices both trying to act as routers!)
Could it be something else?? Cuz wireless works on all the stationary and laptops in the house... Maybe something wrong with the device?
of cause it could be
but
wifi devices such as phones and my ipod touch was the only devices which suffered in my case desktops and laptops would still work
updating the firmware helped a lot but still every now and then I have to unplug the wifi router for 10sec and reconnect for them to get access
Just tried to connect to another network... It worked fine!!
So the problem must be something with the router as you say
I think i'm gonna reset the router, and then se what happens...
Thx for the help Rudegar

Lets try this:
Check whether your laptop can get an IP from your wifi.
I. YES
- Turn on wifi on your note.
- Go to Applications -> Settings -> Wifi settings.
- Look down at Wifi network.
- Touch into the name of your wifi then choose "Forget network".
- Turn off wifi on your note.
- Turn it on again.
- Enter the key and see what's happen.
II. NO
- Check your router configuration.
If you hav have enabled mac protection on router, reset it.

Hi,
Laptops x3 and other peoples phones can get onto WiFi ok, both at work and at home, my Note Will connect ok to the BTFON / BTOpenzone (off of the same routers) with no problems again both at work and at home. We have changed nothing with the routers (BTHome hub 2 and BTBusiness hub at work).
Can you advise what to check with the router as all seems to be in order for all other WiFi devices, it's just my Note that is having a fit and wont connect?
Many Thanks

Hi, Re mac protection, the routers auto set up and I am unaware how to check re mac protection. I cant understand why has my Note decided to stop connecting out of the blue?
I have similar issues.
I have setup a WIFI hotspot and all my non-Android devices can login without any issues (Notebooks x2, iphone3, iphone4, ipad), however my Note and my Blade (all running 2.3.6) and an Acer A500 Tablet (running Android 3.1) cannot connect.
The android devices see the hotspot and will attempt to get an IP, but most of the time will not succeed.
Any suggestions?
I'm having the same problem with the "stuck at obtaning IP address" problem.
Just got my Note 2 weeks ago and am still not able to connect to the internet using wifi.
I can't connect to my home wifi nor starbucks nor any other public wifi. When i use static address, i was able to connect to my home wifi BUT could not use the internet. I really do not know what to do...PLEASE HELP!!!
I too have experienced this. Running stock 2.3.6 + root. happened with lots of different routers. Usually solved with power cycling router & note wifi. Very annoying.
I think (personally), it has nothing to do with the Note at all, BUT on most samsung smartphones...
I read somewhere that Sammy's phones have a weak side in detecting and connecting to any wifi device...
I personally tested this also with my Note, side by side with my friend's Nokia, a Blackberry and a Galaxy Nexus as well.. both Samsung phones stucked at "Obtaining IP address..." for some time, while the two phones (Nokia and the blackberry) connected thru wifi with ease... no problems at all..
I have same problem periodically at my sister's house, especially when a lot of other mobile devices using the router. If you google the issue there are many with same problem.
Simplest way to solve it for me has been to unplug & then plug the router back in. Rather annoying.
I had same prob with my galaxy tab... Forgetting a network won't help..
Nor there is fault of router...
Google this problem you will find results with solutions for xda only... (did the same but don't remember the link)
Al t bst!!

I am on note2 BT homehub2and having identical issues. Did you get a fix?
hi...before anyone say anything first, I had my wifi problem whenever there is blackout in our area, then I cannot connect to wifi but my sisters can connect they use iphone and laptop. whenever I will connect it shows " obtaining IP address" then it will be disabled and it will say disconnected and I cannot connect to my cousins wifi too but I can connect to my work's wifi...I already factory reset it many times but now I'm having problems with that too...please help me...
Try rebooting the Wi-Fi access point your trying to connect to, I have to do that to my Buffalo Wi-Fi router from time to time and then the phone will connect OK. Its worth a try.
