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.

open network at Denny's Restaurant
connect not a problem
no pin needed?
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?

Alright, here's the problem. I can connect to my WiFi at work. I get full bars. But it won't pull any data. Nothing loads in any app or browser. It's only here that it happens and I'm the only one with any problems. I've read everything I can find and tried many things (WiFi "fixer" apps (both root and non-root), switching IPs, forgetting the network and setting it up from scratch) to no avail. I've spoken with our network administrator to ask him if he'd blocked any IPs or anything and he assured me that he had not (he doesn't even have the administrative passwords and can't reset the router as it is stuck to the ceiling 50 feet in the air).
So wtf? Anybody have any suggestions outside of a factory reset? I'm all ears. Thanks in advance (I'll also spank your Thanks Button )
Edit: Also, I've been on this network for years. This happened out of nowhere last week and I'm getting frustrated.

AT&T Smart Wi-Fi connection manager is a free app that finds and auto-connects to available hotspots, maximizes battery life by only turning Wi-Fi on & off when needed, logs missed hotspot opportunities for your review and action for subsequent use, and displays your real-time cellular and Wi-Fi data usage.

I can't find the thread where this tip came from at the moment but this is what I remembered. It shouldn't be hard to search thru the forums. It may or may not fix your issue but give it a try anymore. It won't break anything. GL
1. at your dial pad enter *#0011#, this will take you to the SERVICE MODE
2. press the "menu" - the soft key on the left side of home button
3. select "WiFi"
3. toggle the ON/OFF switch to turn off the wifi power save mode.
4. press home button to exit
I've seen android devices fail to resolve domain names on corporate networks. Check if you can ping outside IP addresses and such - if so, there's probably a way to force it to use google public DNS, though of course this won't resolve intranet names...
(Also, before you exert too much effort on this, make sure your corporate wifi is worth connecting to. Some wifi networks in offices are crap...).

Maybe I'm just spoiled by living in a place with excellent 4G LTE coverage, but I don't see any appeal in connecting to random hotspots - I've never connected to a hotspot that performed better than the 4G, and I don't come close to the data limits of my plan (This month I'll hit 1GB for the first time, I think, because our connection at home was out yesterday, and I had to tether for me and roommate who work from home). Plus good deal of the hotspots I tried (before I realized this was silly) didn't even have internet behind them. The majority of the attwifi ones around here (in red cambridge, ma) don't work - on default settings, I'd just be walking along, and bam - no connectivity, what happened? Oh, it autoconnected to an attwifi hotspot that didn't have any internet connectivity.
I turned the WiFi power saving mode off. I'll report back once I get back to work and check the results.

Having issues with my WiFi. Been doing it for a week or so. Every few days and now since yesterday my WiFi will all together quit working. Says connected but I get no internet and can't access my gateway with it. I have Xfinity internet and all the other phones and laptops work fine on it. But my phone just straight won't work on the WiFi unless I hard reset my phone. Tried DNS settings and static IP address and all. Multiple reboots of both device and gateway. Can't seem to find anyone else having this issue. Any thoughts from anyone before I take it to Verizon?

Are you on the most recent update? The newest one fixes that problem.

wifi sucks on this phone. I don't get the disconnects but it is very slow to load anything and everything. Pictures, web pages, whatever. Doesn't happen to the other 15 devices on my network. LTE works fine
When it connects I have no problems with speed. Despite being up to date with software I have to reset every few days for it to work here lately. I've even hard reset my AP and checked the firmware on it and everything else works fine before and after. Its just this phone. I finally got it working again after a reset last night so if it does it again I'm just going to Verizon with it. I'm no IT specialist but I know enough to try different things and still no remedy other than hard reset.

Believe it or not, I have this problem too. I'll be completely connected with nothing going wrong with my network, but I'll have no access to the internet. I'll go to my tablet or my roommate's phone and there will be no problems.
I'm still looking up other forums and Verizon as well to see what possibly could be up with it. If I find anything useful I'll let you know. It's pretty frustrating when I don't have unlimited data anymore like I had on Sprint. If I did I really wouldn't care to be honest, but Verizon's service has by far surpassed Sprint in Houston.

I've noticed that when my device sits idle for long periods, overnight for example, while connected to my home WiFi there doesn't appear to be any throughput. It seems to be connected in every other respect. Toggling WiFi off/on sorts it for me though. I know that I've read that this is a reported bug that is to be fixed, but naturally, I've been reading so much at so many different sites, that I can't for the life of me recall exactly which site it was. I'm guessing that you issues are somewhat different than mine?
Yeah. I can toggle or reboot or reset my AP all day when it does this and it will never fix it. I tried for 2 days of different fixes I've seen online but the only thing that gets it back is a hard reset.

Might be a fluke but just got home and no WiFi like I expected. Did a hard reset on my AP with the reset button instead of through my laptop by logging into it. Forgot network on my phone. Rebooted it. Connected and it was fine. Pain in the ass if I have to do it every day but if it works it works.

I also recently started having this problem. Frequent disconnect / reconnect to Wifi with no data passing through. I had to shut off my mobile data because it was increasing my data usage at home.
I also noticed this problem too. It shows I have Wi-Fi connection but no internet or email access. When I disabled the WiFi, internet comes back. It's also xfinity Wi-Fi router. That's only place I have Wi-Fi issues.. No issues at home. Maybe it's compatibility issues with xfinity router?

I'm using an Netgear AC1750 router...No issues with Wifi at work.
I'm pretty convinced its the Xfinity access points. I don't have WiFi at work as I work in a shop, but the WiFi at my in-laws (Sudden Link) worked fine this weekend. I am now I'm having the same issue with my laptop all the sudden as well is why I am really thinking that it's their hardware and not mine. Never had this issue with AT&T when I had them. Had already switched to Comcast before I got the Turbo so I can't say with 100% certainty.
Sent from my XT1254 using XDA Free mobile app
Sounds like it could be....if you have another Wifi router you could try it and disable the AP on the Xfinity modem. On my network, only the Droid Turbo has trouble with WiFi. I've got 7 other devices on there that all work fine.
Never set up an external router on it. I as well have 3 other phones, 2 other laptops and 2 tablets that all work fine with it. Xfinity just hates the turbo. Lol My laptop I think was a fluke as it hadn't been turned on in a few days. I just think it didn't want to refresh the settings until I released/renewed, then it was fine. I'll find out tonight when I get home anyways.

I also don't think its interference either. My father in law is an ex cop and radio operator. He has all sorts of repeaters and radios and all I haven't a clue about set up. If there was going to be any interference involved I'm pretty sure it would be there. Heh.

Yeah. Reading through some of that I never have hanging issues. Mine would just flat out not work at some points. Other than hard reset on the phone I have only found 1 way to fix it.
1. Forget WiFi network and shut off phone.
2. Hard reset my AP with reset button on back of it.
3. When AP is finished rebooting turn on phone and reconnect to WiFi.
