Ok guys. I am not sure what is going on here.
I can't connect to my schools wifi and it is becoming a royal PITA.
I can connect to wifi perfectly fine at home.
At school, they don't require any sort of "password" to access the network. (no wep or anything I mean) They do have one of those annoying/retarded portal login systems which seems to be coded to only care for laptops.... Actually I should say coded for a hand full of browsers ON the laptop.
I once or twice a week or so ago was able to actually access the login page either by entering it manually and being able to actually use wifi for a few minutes.. or by getting redirected.
I took the problem up with the help desk, they said we now have alimit of 4 wireless devices and my allowance was maxed.
Unlikely but, whatever..
So now over the last few days won't redirect me, it won't let me even enter the login address manually.. (before it wasn't a sure thing but, I could at least do it.)
I am rooted running cog 3.03. (Which does have the 2.2 update) Had the same problem on stock 2.1.
Goes without saying I'm rooted and willing to do what it takes to get wifi working here.. Even if I did happen to have unlimited data.. my school is pretty Iphone heavy... especially at lunch, And some days I am just happy to receive the occassional text I can get from my girlfriend.
But, fact is I don't have unlimited data.. I have extremely limited data.
If anyone has a solution, I would appreciate it.
Tried:
Wifi fixer in market.
Rebooting.
"forgetting" then reconnecting. (a million times).
Manually assigning an IP address.
Praying to Cthulhu
Using multiple browsers to see if one works with portal better.
and I am out of idea's..
Any chance you need to enter a proxy server?
I have never needed to enter a proxy server before with any other device.
And I have never found anything suggesting I would anywhere on the school website.

You might ask around about it. The browser is probably set to auto detect a proxy. You don't have that on the phone.
Although, you do indicate you actually did connect for a bit a while back, so it likely isn't the proxy.
Sorry. Don't know what else to offer.
I appreciate the effort, unfortunately my school didn't resolve the issue either so I am unsure what to do..
You might be on to something with the proxy...
No telling how the looney's set this stuff up...
Do you have the login page in your favorites? And does the device connect to the wireless "hotspot"?
I'd test it at a starbucks (or mcdonalds of all places have them too) and see if the issue repeats itself. The ATT hotspot requires you accept the agreement before it allows you to browse.
If it doesn't work.. I'd go back to stock and see if you continue having the same issues. If the issues are resolved when going back to stock - then you'd need to bug DG for a possible fix with his ROM as that is possibly where the problem lies.
Yes it does happen to connect at other places.
I can get it working at home no problem.
I have the url memorized at this point to log in..
Part of the reason i rooted was one or two people said it cleared whatever wifi problems they wre having up..
Infact I would agree with that more than anything..
Although it didn't fix my problems, I have been able to do a bit more..
I hate with a passion bumping my own thread.. but, if anyone can help.. I would appreciate it.
i think your issue might not be your phone but your school unfortunately... when you are there to connect, are there a lot of others there as well?? for example, where i am at, they have their access points set up and i can select it with my phone, but sometimes i get on and sometimes i dont.. the issue is that they limit the amount of connected users and it might show that you are connected, but you don't in fact have access.. does this sound about like what you are having??
a test (and this will suck) is to let it connect and if it isnt connected, sit there for a while and watch as people leave and see if you connect.. usually they slot peeps in order as they log in via their IP.. so depending on how many users are not able to connect, you might not be the first to get on.. this sux and i know.. it happens here all the time and some times i have drained my laptop battery sitting there trying to connect.. now that i have my phone, 1 or the other will connect first
hope it helps a little.. but like said.. good chance its not your phone .. if it is your phone.. i am not really sure what else to think of at the moment..

i have been playing with this application for the past 4 hours
and it will JUST NOT connect! im pretty sure ive reached that point
where you keep trying everything u can, but eventually you end up with
a web of mistakes and have no idea where to begin to finish...so, lets
get to it...
- i am at school. i live across the street from campus, far enough to
where my g1 wont pick up the wifi signal, so configuring the app via
wifi isnt even an option...
so i go to the FAQs and there seems to be a way to operate the program
via the cell network without using a router...great because i dont
have one...but when i read the instructions, it starts telling me
stuff ABOUT a router...
"2.Log into your router and go to the port forwarding section (it
might be called NAT settings, or Application and Gaming). "
...where am i supposed to go to do this? i have set up ICS, i have
googled google for "port forwarding" "nat settings" "nat configuration
in windows xp", ive even used the BS help and support that comes with
windows, im going nowhere. can somebody PLEASE help me figure this
out? i want to use gmote over t-mobiles internet connection, and it seems like you can do this from what the FAQs told me...any help will be appreciated
Yeah the faq doesn't make sense, have you tried the developer directly or checking their google group? They are pretty quick to respond
On my home pc i just needed to know the ip addresss of my machine. Since this is a campus network, its possible that only particular ports are open. the port that gmote uses may be blocked.
The FAQ is a little confusing, but its not that difficult to work out
That is true, given that bittorrent and Ares are known for not running on campus...how do I figure out what ports ARE open?? I guess google will help
cant you just connect to the ip number of your computer?
Thats what Im trying to do, but Im now assuming that the ports are blocked because I cant get thru no matter what. I ran netstat and tried to figure it out but it was Russian to me
From what I understand of the program, you have to be on the same network. I may be wrong, but if you are on a different subnet, then you're SOL.
Like I said, could be wrong, but that's what I heard.
Hi all
My head's getting a bit sore from banging it against a brick wall while trying to sort my phone out, and I was hoping someone might be able to help me.
I did a ROM flash to Dutty's latest about 1 month ago, and all worked fine. At some point afterwards, I did *something* (possibly running the Connection Setup Wizard - don't ask!), and I lost the ability to get internet transfers over Orange (UK) - mail would just tell me it can't retrieve the messages (check the settings blah blah), and Opera just gave me a Network Error page.
Now, I've chatted with Orange lots, deleted all connection settings and played around with various settings and I'm pretty confident I have that right. On demand (i.e. starting mail or Opera), I can see the session establishment (i.e. the arrows moving over the G or 3G or H marker on the title bar), and the Data Connection indication is set in Comms Manager, but I still can't get transfers.
Note that I have since reflashed the same ROM a couple of times, and both times I have successfully had the internet working for up to about 2 or 3 days, then it goes again. When it does go, I get the Database Update Check appearing almost every time a session is established. I originally put the patch in place to stop this happening, but was worried that might be causing the networking problems so didn't since reflashing the rom this latest time.
WiFi works OK - I'm using a static IP address but I don't think this is causing a problem with GPRS/3G comms.
So, I'm thinking there might be some setting on the phone that I keep changing somehow (not intentionally) which is breaking the routing between Orange and Windows.
Does anyone have any ideas? I'm losing it a bit here, as it used to work fine all the time and now it seems to just stop!
Cheers for any help

Soft Reset
Does a soft reset fix your problem?
I get this from time to time, i soft reset and all is ok again.
I also get orange safeguard on some sites every now and then even though its switched off.
Nope, once it's gone it's gone. Very strange. Still trying to figure this out, as it's driving me nuts!
Still, it's a good excuse to try out some different ROMs!

i had this a wile back and all of a sudden it just started working again
SOLUTION
If anyone's interested, I found a solution to this and I thought I'd share it.
The problem is due to an issue with 2.03 ROM as far as I can tell (I had Dutty's v4 on the phone) and static ip address on WiFi.
IF you use static ip over WiFi, then when you enter the ip address etc for the WiFi network adapter, it appears to try and use these settings on the GPRS connection too. This is why, when I spoke to Orange, as far as they were concerned everything was working OK.
So, the session establishes to Orange, then I request a page and it try's to use my DNS (192.168.1.1) to resolve the address - all goes wrong at that point. No web, no mail, nothing.
To solve, simply remove the settings from the WiFi adapter.
There may be a better solution to this, but I'm just happy I can have my phone back working again!!!

Hello, I kept on making a post for it until Iread everything that Icould but I can t solve this.
I have a Continental European G1, radio 1.3xxxx.2005, and the UK version.
My problem is that WiFi isn't working on any ROM, cyan (3-4 versions of it, the last months of ROM's made by him), SenseHero, KingxROM, Dwang, and mannnnnyy other ROM, I think I tested like 40-60 ROM releases in the last two months and Wifi hangs on all of them. There are times when market is loading after 1-2 minutes, but that's it, no app works over WiFi, Google Sync after a new install of a ROM worked, but that was it again.
I have e DLink DI-524 Wireless G router, standard Settings(tryed with upnp enabled/disabled), w/o and with secured Wireless, it always detects the network, connects on it but it isn't working.
Another strange thing that happens:
Let's say that I have WAP2(PSK) protection on my router, I disconnect my G1 from it, remove the security, so now I have an open network, until restart my G1 detects my network in it's last state, protected. This is really pissing me off, I have 100mb free and 0.4Eur/10mb in my contract with Orange, but at home I would really like to use my wireless, e.g. to use Gmote and so on.
Does anyone has any idea?
THANKS A LOT!!
Is this a problem with your network or all wifi connections?
I had the same problem
After flashing more roms than I can count to try and see if I could get wifi to work. Even unrooted and went back to stock then back to rooted and still had no luck. I finally called my carrier and talked to there tech department and they said it was probably a hardware issue. I have since had it replaced under warranty. Sorry but I'm pretty sure its the hardware so no matter what rom you flash it won't work
This can't be real, hardware problem? I bought the phone from a friend from France, because here in Romania I would have to pay double for it at my carrier, so no warranty for me...
Does anyone else has the same problem??
Yesterday I tested SenseHero 's latest ROM, I act. WiFi and Google sync'ed but twitter won't.... I hope it's solvable, I started collecting logs, I see in my router that the phone connects through very weird ports to different sites on internet, have to look into that, sorry for grammar mistakes, not native english and writing from my g1. Bye
Twitter sync have always been an issue. It should work after a few tries. I have wifi hangs a lot too, and I dont have a data plan either.
if you can post a logcat, it would help us pin down the issue
I was in the process of creating my first theme(YIPPIII), but I will test it right now. IT's coming.
EDIT: Here is the log, so, during a 5 minutes time, I started wifi, and tryed to search xda on google, anyhow, that can be seen in the log and then tried to download a app from the market.
Hope it helps, I'm really stuck.
THANKS!!!
Does nobody knows smt? this thread is sitting here a while now, should I try reflashing everything? maybe the problem is in the "lower layers of hardware" , radio, spl???
Sorry i couldnt find too much in that log (its a little long and im usually sleepy)
but it seems as though its not routing properly
it seems to be connecting to the internet, but not routing. Do you have DNS settings on your router?
My router connects through PPPoE and the WAN connection has some DNS's but that shouldn't count, those DNS's are the routers problems, the internet 'thrown' in LAN and WiFi should be and it is without any dns's and such.extremely weird...
So I have looked around a little and haven't found much yet. When I turn on Wi-Fi, things only load about 70 percent then get stuck like nothing will ever finish on Wi-Fi. Sometimes Facebook will just spin forever. I am rooted with ping pong root and a stock rom with very light bebloating (only obvious stuff). Any one experience this?
Found the wifi fix finnaly. Legit!
HEY GUYS I HAVE FINNALY FOUND THE REAL FIX TO THIS PROBLEM. New to this FORUM btw, but I read it alot. I have the s6 Edge on Verizon and even though I'm showing full wifi signal and so was my wife's s5(she's on att&t) neither of us could barely get a page to load. I've done everything. Set manual channels. Disabled everything you can think of that might cause it on the phone. Disabled ipv6 in the router settings. Factory reset. Cache clean. Anything you can think of I've done it. Even tried to manually change the DNS to Google or something else. That didn't work but DNS IS THE PROBLEM. There's a problem with lollipop and DNS. And they are probably going to send an update eventually to fix it but I wasn't about to wait and I know my wife's s5 wouldn't get it.
So I was ready to return it. Anyway out if nowhere I found THE SOLUTION AND THE APP THAT FIXES IT IMMEDIATELY TODAY. Go to the to the play store and download DNS SET. Forget your connection and re enter your WiFi password. Then open the DNSet app and check off auto run. Then hit the run button. INSTANT FIX! I SWEAR TO GOD. You have no idea how happy I was to see this work. I stopped a it and reopened it many times to see if it would always work and it does. Instant loads. Super fast speed. Christ I was outside of my house and even there everything was loading instantly like it should. YouTube instantaneous. Anything. It fixes the problem. Believe me I went through this and it works and it takes 5 mins to do it at most. It's was a life savor. Don't return your phone or get frustrated and say screw it. This works and I couldn't wait to frigging share it with everyone because I know how can frustrating it is. I was about to return my s6 edge today. Swear to God. The only thing it didn't work in was my friends s5 today on sprint and I don't know why. Something to do with sprint maybe. But it definitely works with verizon and attt.
JUST A HEADS UP, I did leave the ipV6 disabled on my router and I still have WiFi direct disabled on my phone because I was afraid to change anything after this worked. Might have nothing to do with it but if for some crazy reason this app doesn't work, disable that and it will be fine. All my other settings on the router are normal. Auto channel and AES/TPIK are still on. Anyway This works and I was happy to help so I posted. Let me know of it works u for you guys. And spread the word so people aren't dealing with this ****. It's not right. Let me know how you make out. Take care
Hey,
So I am having serious wifi issues since I installed my Google Home. I use a chromecast too, but I think it's safe to say that it's the Home device that f-ed up wifi network.
I did read all the articles back i January/February that I was not alone with the issue, and as far as I understand - Google rolled out a fix about a month ago.
However, I am still having issues. My wifi drops for no reason (on all devices at the same time, phones included) for a few seconds and then comes back up. I've tried rebooting the router, and updating firmware on the router but no help. Today I pulled the plug to the Google Home until this has been fully resolved.
I love my Home and would like to have it connected. Did the correction that Google rolled out solve it for everyone else here or does anyone still have issues - or is it just me?
How can I see what firmware/software I am running on the Home? I have obviously tried to ask it, but it responds "this is not supported yet".
Any ideas?

I had the same problem on my main router, so I tried connecting it to my secondary router, and it worked, but since that one was supposed to be for the other part of the house, I got a cheapest used router I could (doesn't even support n standard) and created a separate network with different SSID, now I use it only to connect google home devices, chromecasts and other smart home wifi devices, and it works (it still uses my main router's DHCP server, and network, it is just AP with a different SSID), oh and I use channel 6 on that router btw.

Ok, i feel my networking knowledge can come handy here! Lol. Home,three chromcasts, firetv, firestick x2; Nghthawk x8000->asusrtac68u->lan2wanWNR1000(for old 2nd gen sony bluray dlna and one roomstreaming)+wirelessLinksysEA6350->asusrtac88u. Yes, intriguing network! 6bdrm 3300sqft house. Biggest ever afforded! So, needless to say i pay TWC for 100Mbps, capping at 230mbps on the rtac68u ethernet bridge to wired desktop! All running my own modified compiled tomatousb. Linksysea6350 is ddwrt, kongbuild and a PIA so thats w/e stock kong wanted. Well safe to say ive been at making all this work!! What i need from you is topology and setup, running broadcoms or others? I find broadcom way easier to mess with. Second, you running custom or boxed units? And third is the google products subnetted (more of a b***h if you ask me!) And connected 2.4 or 5? N or AC? And how are you allocating resources? IE using QOS or similar? If you can't answer those im need (if unboxed and freed) "logcats", iptables, etc.. more than safe to say, the home not the culprit in sense to it "drowning" out the wifi band, but could for drown resources, IE low grade hardware, hardware beginning stages of failure and one extra workhorse did it, RAM, eMMC, getting the gist? Im gonna say w/slight certainty you might be rebooting not wifi actually cutting out. You also could if custom firmware corrupted something that the home doesnt like. But wont know w/out the numbers to look at. All i got from you is, either a LAN2LAN or bridge as i read your main hib is the DHCP, and is the SSID you "created" a subnet? And your "30" dollar router also could not be up to task.
And sorry if the reply is anything not right, first post ever here! Years of only reading lol. And something wrong with my cheap phone cracked screen phone replacement everytime keyboard is opened! Doubt its this website. my pixel xl tried to drive on the interstate outside of my car...so sad.. just know im gonna punch this phone or throw from the anger ive gained trying to type and the sign-in to post.. thank you.
Similar solution worked for me
I use a dedicated connection for all things GH related. This stopped the wifi dropout.
