Wifi problems

i just got my captivate last week. i love it, but i have a problem. whenever i try to connect to my school's wifi, it wont let me browse, it'll show at the notifications bar that im connected with full bars, but still wouldnt let me browse. for example, when i type google.com, itll load for a while, but after a couple of minutes itll show me webpage not availble. this doesnt happen when im at home where im using our own wifi. is there a solution for this?

[Q] At&t wifi?

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.

[Q] Wi-Fi connects but doesn't work?

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.

LG Thrill 4g Froyo/v10e 2.2.2 wifi help

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.

Droid Turbo WiFi problems

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.

I should be.

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.

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.

I unchecked WiFI Optimization in Advanced Settings and web pages are loading a lot better than before. Latency lowered a bit. Worked both on 2.4ghz and 5ghz setup I have
