I'm loving froyo with the help of Cog 5.5 but I cant see or connect to At&t wifi hotspots any more. The little orange pop up doesn't appear nor do the auto connect spots show up when I look under wifi connections. Even when I connect to the public ones it doesn't recognize it as a At&t device.
Is this a known Issue? Do confirm if you can.
Does any one know how to bring it back ?
Go here, download the wispr43... Apk.

That is the hot spot app. I reloaded and it does show the orange hotspot indicator at my local starbucks.

I noticed that my captivate will often show both the wifi icon and 3g icon in my screen at the same time. I am using wifi to post this but 3g still shows up. This never happened in my nexus one or milestone. This also happens on multiple wifi networks for me. Any ideas?

Mine is just showing wifi and the signal bars

Some apps use your 3G connection to get a rough fix on your location (Beautiful widgets "Beautiful home" or weather bug) there's a lot more. You can usually turn that off and just put in your zipcode. I could be wrong, just a shot in the dark.
I get this too

This doesn't seem right to me. I don't get why it would have both, there is no reason for it. If I reboot my phone, it will just show one or the other but over time it creeps back to showing both. I think its a software problem.
I am also wondering about the wifi. How do you know it's using wifi instead of 3g? Does it automatically switch over to wifi whenever it connects to one?

Thats the thing, I have seen it say I am on wifi but it still shows the 3G indicator and will show 3G activity (the activity arrows on the 3G icon light up).

I saw that, but my Nexus and Milestone don't do that so I'm confused by that.

It might be because you have no apps trying to find your location all the time. That's why some people have 3g on sometimes with their wifi on and some don't.

Well I wish I knew what that was then, because I do have Beautiful Widgets but I also have always had geolocation disabled and have my zip code set in it.
My husband's captivate will show both wifi and 3G when he opens google maps and the only way to get ride of the 3G is to restart the phone.
I'm having the same issue and using "my settings" to disable 3G use while using wifi. Being that I'm on the very limited data plan, I'd rather not have 3G being used when it doesn't have to be. So, if there are some programs that are forcing access to 3G when I'm on wireless, I'd like to know if there's an app or somesuch that will track which programs are accessing this so I don't have to worry about changing settings all of the time?
Hello everyyone. Ive only been using this phone and android since yesterday afternoon. I played with the phone very extensively yesterday and never saw the 3g while i was on wifi and then last night i applied the gps "fix" do you think that could of caused it to show. did all who is having this problem apply the gps fix ?
I believe using a push syncing service like exchange will cause this. on my windows mobile phones exchange wouldn't work over wifi.
Hmm is the default mail app an exchange like server ? So I should pull my info from that one and soley use the gmail app?

My problem showed up after this as well, but I can't imagine that would be the cause of it...
I'm seeing both Wifi and 3G on as well. Oddly enough, only Wifi seems to be on after it sits for a night (both charging and just unplugged). As soon as I disabled Wifi, 3G came back on, but after reenabling Wifi, the 3G stayed on.
As far as I can tell with 3G Watchdog, it's not using 3G when they're both on, but I'm worried that battery life is impacted by having them both on. I'm assuming this isn't normal behavior then.
FYI, I also applied the GPS fix, but I think I was seeing them both on even before I did that.
I get this as well, even when not using maps. I noticed it before I did the gps fix.
I do use gmail app which uses push, but still WIFI should always take over once connected. I noticed though that on the 3G icon the upload/download arrows are grey, not white or red (the transmit/receive colors).
I was concerned at first but I installed the AT&T app and I don't have a lot of data usage. I think its a bug.
I had both icons as well for a couple of days while in a wifi area. Messed with the gps settings again today and I'm back to wifi only icon. Didn't even reboot.

Hi all,
I upgraded my N1 from 2.2.1 STOCK to 2.3.3 STOCK. Since upgrade I've noticed that I don't get my email notifications in real-time anymore. I have to either wait ages (hours) then I get a notification I have new email, or I have to go into Gmail and hit Refresh.
In regards to settings on my N1, I have enabled:
Background Data
Auto Sync
Within Gmail settings, I have enabled:
Email Notifications.
Any ideas on this one guys?
are the icons in notification bar green (3G logo and reception logo)?

No they are not. They are grey. But, they are only grey with WiFi on. Icons are green with WiFi off. I've just carried out some test emails with WiFi off and I get them in RealTime.
Do you know why I'm not getting them in RealTime through WiFi? I used to, before I upgraded to 2.3.3
what i think is that google services are blocked when using wifi. green icons mean you are connected with google servers, thismeans online gtalk and realtime recieving mails.
But it's really weird that after updating that you ar not connected anymore with google servers through wifi. Are you using wifi a work or school. maybe they changed their policy.
I'm using wifi at work. Ill check my home wifi tonight to see what happens.
Perhaps I need to update my Radio?
I'm using 5.08.00.4
Thanks for your help so far.

I don't think it's radio related, I also used that radio with GB. But try it at home if it works home then your work changed their internet access policy.
goodluck
I am having the same issue but when I look at my inbox it says I have x emails in my inbox but does not show the emails until I do a manual refresh, very weird. I have green wifi and 3G.
Also, whatever I do in gmail on my phone is not updated when I check using a PC.
Open and log into Google Talk to start the push connection?

Your right! It is the Work firewall. Admin must have blocked some ports, thus preventing connection. Least I know the phone isnt faulty.
Thanks again!

So I have somewhat of a strange issue with my wi-fi on my captivate. At home, my WiFi works great, no issuses. But when I go to my college, I can scan and connect to the WiFi spots but it still acts like I'm not connected. No data apps work at all, everything 'Fails to connect'
Using Wifi Analyzer, I see that its a strong connection. Even tried connecting to different channels, walking around trying different hot spots.. still no difference.
Why would my phone do that? Is there different kinds of WiFi networks phones cant connect to? But like i said, it see's and connects to the hot-spots there, just acts likes theres no data..

I had this issue last night when I was at a Hilton. IT saw the connection and connected but no data transfer. Found that when I connected to my laptop it redirected me to a page to enter the pswrd. So when I connected my phone again I loaded up the page from the laptop and entered the code. then it worked. Not sure if it helps
When you connect to the open wifi network simply open your browser and you should find instructions for that establishments network.

I started having a similar issue. I connect and get no data connection anytime I'm on wifi. It's happening on stock 2.1 and all 2.2 roms. After about two weeks of this, I called and am getting a warranty repair. I've had this phone since early august and never had any wifi problems.

When you connect to the connection that is not giving data, open your browser. Some places instead of useing a pin code use a webpage where you input the code.

have breakfast with no data, go home and works fine on my wifi and I can hook to my neighbors wifi and hers is an open network?????
when my phone used to be able to connect to wifi, i could download songs, fairly fast. but now it will only connect to an open wifi network, tried deleting and re adding networks, and soft resets of both router and phone. but now over 3g, music downloads are painfully slow, and almost never finish downloading. i get the cannot connect to marketplace right now error. 3g in my area is good i get around 2-3mbps download on my iphone and my atrix, so i know that isnt the issue. should i request a replacement device or is there a fix?

I have a LG Thrill 4G running stock FROYO/v10e 2.2.2 that will not connect to wifi. I cant even set up my google account on the phone. When I try it doesnt search for a wifi network, I have to enter it manually, and then get an error saying cannot establish a connection with the server. In the wifi settings it is stuck on turning wifi on. I cannot get into wps push button request or add a wifi network. I have looked through all applications and cant even find one that has anything to do with the wifi. Is it possible that the wifi file has been deleted from FROYO?? Can it be reinstalled, or can I reset the FROYO somehow? I am currently trying to do the urgrade to GIngerbread and then ICS, but of course I am having issues with it. If I get it to go through will it fix the wifi issue? Any help would be greatly appreciated.

I haven't been been able to successfully install the update as of yet. It keeps erroring out on me on the second step, before it actually even gets to the update. I have uninstalled and re-installed the lg mobile tool, and the drivers multiple times, and keep getting the same result. I got frustrated and haven't tried again in two weeks. Any tips on getting the update to work would be greatly appreciated. Thanks.
use a diff usb cable, change to a diff desktop using usb ports on the back of the tower.
I had similar issue before, only to discover that I had a flaky cable.
