[Q] Wi-Fi problem

Over the past few days my phone hasn't been wanting to connect to my wi-fi. I would have to turn wi-fi on and off several times before it would connect. Today it just stopped connecting all together. It now shows my network but says its "out of range" I'm withing 10 ft so I know it's not. Earlier today it would just say scanning and then disabled under the network name. Anyone know why it would not be working at all? Also I have a ps3 hooked up wireless and it works fine so I know it's not the router.

without knowing your specifics how can we help you?
are you rooted? what rom? version? kernal? recovery?

I had the same problem...got a new phone from att and still did the same. Did you try resetting your router...for some reason my captivate is sensitive to my router and even though everything else wireless in the house works fine the phone says wifi disconnected....hopefully resetting your router does it

Try changing the channel.on your router to channel 11 and then setting a static ip address on your phone.
I am assuming you are using a standard home user router such as a linksys or netgear and that you are using a captivate, so I doubt you are having issues due.to encryption or using the wrong type.wireless.

Hi I'm having the same problem with my HTC Desire HD. I also can't connect by wifi. I spoke to HTC about the problem & they advised me to do a factory reset.... which I did but it didn't resolve the problem. Not being very technically minded I am assuming that this means it is not a software problem & the fault lies with the hardware. I'm going to take it into Tmobile for repair.

I know this is as old as the mountains, but is there still no fix for a Secured Portable wifi hotspot for the p1000? Is that why it doesn't have a stable version yet?
Everything else works great on cm10 even though some settings like WIFI Region code and Preferred Network Type has to be reset after every nightly update and Reboot.
But, it is still great.

How can I get vpn working?

Any ideas on how I can get vpn working? I am trying to connect to VyprVpn. The Note says it has connected but nothing works. I.e. I try to go to a web site but it won't load.
My laptop and my Acer Iconia all work fine with the same settings.
I think it's a problem with Android as my S II had the same issue. However if any one has any suggestions...

I am having the same problem. I connect to the VPN and it has the key and says connected. no data will work while it is connect. My IT guy says it is connected buy no data is going in or out. I try to connect to my RDT and it times out. Settings work fine on the iPhone and iPad.

+1 I have the same problem on both S1 and note.

Any ideas?????

Success, use l2tp
Following another post, I got it working using these instructions for l2tp:

Still not working for me - did you connect over wifi?

l2tp works for me over wifi and mobile

Same problem here when trying to connect to my firm's VPN.
Works smooth over wifi but nothing on 3G (it says connected but I can't do anything). Just once it loaded half page.
Vodafone says is not their problem.

try this http://www.purevpn.com/tutorials.php

I'm facing the same issue connected to my OverPlay VPN, anyone managed to find a solution?

Use l2tp or upgrade to ICS.

Had a look round seems to be a problem on the Galaxy SII also. Just for info I have not added any new apps for days.. must be the phone buy why?

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?

Wifi stuck at "Obtaining IP adress"

I've tried everything what I could find in the web, however nothing helped. What should I do? I'm using CM10, my router's IP is dynamic.
What should I do?
Thanks in advance

Are you on the right channel? Tried restarting browser?

Restart router? Or maybe you have another device on fixed IP (I had similar problem with my iPad ) and router tries to assign this IP to your phone?

Rename your access point name.. I had same problem before, after change access point name in router, i can connect again..

The blame is from router. Once it happened to me. Try restart your router.

try to make it static..

I have had this problem on different ROMs occasionally.
Deleting the saved connection on your Phone, searching for the Network and typing the password again would solve my problem.
But for me the Router Restart or even WiFi off and back on (on the Router) has helped with this issue.

Tried to make it static, tried to restart my router a couple of times even tried to change the access point name in the router but nothing helped. All other android devices I have work normally..

Do you have 2 wifi networks with the same name?
Had this problem when my wifi network name at home had the same name as my gf's network at her house

EDIT:
Problem solved, updated the router's firmware

I have the same problem unfortunately, I'm on DMX 1.5 with KOB kernel, wifi worked flawlessly until yesterday, now it's stucked. I have tried roouter restarting/firmware updating, phone restarting, retype wifi password, but nothing helped. The other devices at home (android and bb) can connect though.

Try to restart your router. Commonly the blame is for router.

I reflashed the rom without wipe, it works now.

Next time turn off your router, wait few seconds and turn it on. It must work... i had the same problem few times. It is caused when your wi-fi router remmember your phone MAC address, and then, your phone is being dissconected without pressing "turn off wi-fi" on your phone. MAC address is still remmembered in your router and it wouldn't accept to remmember the same parameters from your device..

Well after a day, it does it again, I have tried to turn off the router for about 5-10 seconds, but it's the same. Maybe the problem is, the wifi router is a bit far from my room, and it disconnects wifi at a few spots, don't know how could I solve this, don't wanna reflash everyday.

Одг: Wifi stuck at "Obtaining IP adress"
How far? What is your singnal strenght?
Sent from my LG-P990 using xda app-developers app

The router is around 20-25meters away from my room, I usually get one or two bars (sensitivity set to -32dbm), but as I said it disconnects a few times, when I go to my terrace it always connects/disconnects in every 10 seconds. I'm planning to broadcast wifi off my computer, so it doesn't matter, I just don't know if it plays a role in this "obtaining IP address" problem, but I haven't had it before so it must be a ROM/kernel problem, I've reflashed it again with a different kernel, I'll see if it works, as it started with the using of this one (King of Birds kernel).
I have read a topic (can't find it now) that said it's a DHCP problem, and the device remembers the previously used IP's and wants to use that, and I should delete /data/misc/dhcp/dhcp-list file to get rid of this problem. However, I cannot get into "data" folder with Root Browser (with root permission of course), nor delete the file with Terminal Emulator, so I couldn't try it. Sorry if I wrote anything stupid, as I'm not into most of these technical things. Thanks for your help.
