[Q] Cannot use wifi tethering - Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Hello everybody, I've searched on the forum, but I cannot find a solution to my problem. When I try to connect my iPad or my MacBook to the internet through my SGS I cannot surf the web. I mean, I can connect to the SGS via the wifi connection but it looks like there is no internet connection.. I am on Darky 7.0 rom. Is there any kind of setting which I have to make to be able to get an internet connection? Thanks for your help

Yeah, same issue with me.

Hope somebody has a solution...

Do you have a weak signal? I noticed when my signal is weak i can connect but the internet doesn't work.

No the signal is at the maximum but there is no internet connection..

any help?

I'm also having the same problem on 7.5 and 7.6. Maybe bring this up in his thread?
Edit: Im in an area with HSDPA for data too, but when I switch to tethering via wifi or even USB, it doesn't switch to HSDPA. And it wont let me browse the net from a PC. Browsing within the phone works fine.

check your APN settings if they are correct

If my APN settings won't correct I wouldn't be able to browse from the handset itself, which I can do no problem. Its only when I tether.

Use wifi connection over HSDPA

Hi,
Everytime I connect to my wifi at home and try to browse a page on PIE the HSDPA data connection kicks in and overrides my wifi connection.
Is there anyway to stop this? As I'd rather be using my wifi at home, leaving my HSDPA for out and about.
Thanks for any help in advance.
Russ.
Modacco NoData works great!
Google it, you may need to register to get it. If your lucky, you can find it in this forums (probably after hours of searching ). I dont have the program on hand, sorry!

Using Wifi instead of 3g for Internet Sharing

So my laptops internal wireless card gave out, and while I don't mind using 3g.. wifi is a little faster, so is there a way to use that instead of 3g? I do not see it as an option in the internet sharing app.
thanks
hmm, i think ICS could do that.......... connect via wifi then connect ICS with USB or bluetooth..... hmm, i was thinking wmwifirouter could do it but i am not sure
already tried that. I think that wmwifirouter is for sharing 3g over wireless
simple..I do that all the time.
Turn off Data Connection
Turn On WiFi
Turn On Internet Sharing
..wah-la !
i tried that but under network connection wifi does not appear and it tries to connect to 3g?
I know we can simply connect my HTC via my wireless connection,
but is there a way, presumeably if we want to connect our phone
to the internet via PC. anyone care to share the tricks? thx.

[Q] Wifi problem with a twist

not sure if anyone had this same problem. I searched the forum but looks like i'm the only who has this problem.
my O2x can easily obtain and connect to my home WIFI network. the strength is good to excellent. but it couldn't connect to internet at all. All other devices can connect to internet thru this network except O2x. I look from the router setup and it can see that O2x is indeed connected. This problem started about a few days ago where before that (since last month) it could connect the internet but when the screen was off, i needed to reestablish the connection with my home wifi. Now, it connects easily but no connection to internet. I go to other network (my brother's wifi), O2x can easily connect and use internet although both networks are pretty similar in settings.
any idea to solve this? or workaround it?
thanks
Try running traceroute in a terminal window from your phone?

[Q]Wifi connects but there is no data transfer

I connect to wifi in my office fast and easy but there is no data transfer and I can not open any webpages (always receive "web page not available")
a friend of mine has captivate but he can connect and receive web pages the router also works with my laptop
I'm on 2.3.4 jvp rom but on previous roms (2.3.3) also have the same problem, I searched the internet and the forum but could not find anything.
Anyone encounter such problem before?
Are you sure its not the office wifi security that isn't the problem?

I dont think so because samsung captivate and iphone can connect moreover my laptop also connected to the same router
I got the same trouble... I am able to have wifi connection but have no data transfer. Did you solve your trouble? What have you done since June?
Might it be hardware or this only occur with particular routers

So the issue isn't with the router, can only be with the phone.
Question now is: Do you have WiFi access anywhere else?
First thing I'd recommend is to double check your WiFi advanced options to make sure that there is no pre-configured options. No static IP, no set gateways, all of that put it in automatic.
