I have upgraded the phone to gingerbread and have problems connecting to wifi in school. I can see that it is secured with WPA/WPA2, others have no problems connecting.
I had the same problem with a Hero, it just worked with one ROM (not gingerbread), but those other who can connect have gingerbread.
Wasda problem?!
And it's not rooted. Kinda new phone you know and has warranty.
I have the same issue, my phone will only connect to some routers and other people have no problem getting i wifi connection. I'm using MIUI 1.12.16. Anyone have any idea on how to sort this problem out? Thanks.
I can connect to any routers but if i go to WiFi Settings and see if i am connected, it had a little icon next to the router name. When i am connected and i can get internet on my phone the color of the icon is blue (because of my theme) and if i am connected but i can not get internet the the color of that icon is like grey even if the connection is 100%.
Maybe that's a Kernerl problem? I had the same issue WRXRB320 with my router! I changed wi-fi settings from Wpa2 to Wpa and still not worked.. than changed kernel to vadonka's and installed "set DNS" from market! I don't know if the app can solve your problem but give it a try!
EDIT: The app works only if your device is ROOTED

Hi, i'm on vadonka's ETaNa kernel and my wifi is working now with 1 of the routers in my house, but with the other router when i try to connect to it, it says "obtaining ip address". I will download set DNS from the market and see it that will help me, thank you
I tried the app and my phone was still stuck on "obtaining ip"

hi folks, im running cm6 with wildmonks 2.6.34.4-925mv cfs svs aix 720p kernel with the 5.08.00.04 korean radio.
my work has a wpa2 aes encrypted wireless network setup. phone sees the network, and even accepts the password, but never gets an IP address. it hangs at obtaining IP address for a few seconds, and then goes to remembered, not connected, and back to obtaining IP address. it will cycle like this if i leave wifi on all day, and it never connects.
thoughts? the IT guy says its the phone... as he hasnt had trouble with other wpa2 spec'd devices. something im doing wrong, or is he wrong, or should i go back to frf to see if that works, or try a different radio?
assistance greatly appreciated.
thanks.
By the looks of it, it never actually connects. Double-check that you enter the correct password.
I have WPA2-AES set up at home, and it works fine.
Sounds exactly like the issue I had with the router in my parents house. My phone just didn't get on with that particular router. They upgraded recently and all is well.
pw is good. still wont connect. not sure why. i have no troubles connecting to cisco equipment in other places, and so im not sure thats the issue either. other suggestions?

what rom, kernel, and radio are you using?
WPA2 Enterprise was broken when Froyo hit, currently some of the roms fix it, the latest CM6 fixed it I think (kinda). Other roms are planning to have fixes in the near future.

Enomther's 2.11.3 with its 720p AudioMod kernel, radio 4.06.
One router is Linksys WRT54GL, the other is WRT54G2 (2 places - mine and parents'), both are converted to DD-WRT firmware.
have you tried using the kernel that comes with CM6 to see if it works with that?
figured it out... i had the wrong gateway address entered... d'oh! :-(
good now. thanks for the thoughts on what to try though.

Hi All,
I have a weird problem with my captivate of not connecting to my home network. Let me start by telling that I have searched the solutions and tried doing everything except full factory reset. I have rebooted the phone, done reset on my router (Wifi was working just fine earlier.. so I think settings was not an issue. But I still did it), I removed the file data/wifi/bcm_supp.conf and let it regenerate it. Captivate displays "Obtaining IP Address" and it just stays there. I also see that IP address is being assigned to captivate in my router
Captivate is rooted stock Froyo
Router security: WEP
form the Wifi list, I found one unsecured network and captivate connects to that router just fine (signals are very week though...). I tried removing the security on my router but it still stuck on "Obtaining IP address".
Can you please please help me?? As I mentioned earlier, It was working just fine and suddenly stopped working two days back.
These all app updates are eating away my limited data of 200M.
Thanks a millian.
What's your router model ?
What channel are you running on ?
Are others routers close to you running on the same channel ?
Have you tried another channel ?
Did you try WPA2 ?
Could be incompatibility with your router. That happened to me before with my old router. It didn't work with some cell phone wifi devices.
Sent using XDA App
Try using the app "FXR." I had the same issue a couple times and this app seemed to fix it. It took a few tries though. I think it might be a router problem. I use the Linksys wrt54g.
You could also try assigning a static IP address to your device on the router side, and then telling your phone to use that address. I've used that in the past to some success.
As a test, have you tried (temporarily) disabling the security on your router to see if it connects?
I have a similar problem since upgrading to the past 3 nightlies. My phone sees and connects to my home network and says it has strong signal, but when I try to access Market or Internet it says there's a network error and I can't get thru. My two computers (one hard wired and one wi-fi) don't seem to have any problem hooking in to the internet, just my SGS1

Does the 'FXR' app set up IP addresses?
The App didn't work for me. I tried that yesterday. I was reading the similar problems on some other site yesterday and I found the following that solved my issue. In case someone like me still struggling with the WiFi problem.
Delete file data/wifi/bcm_supp.conf
Delete file /data/misc/dhcp/dhcp_list
reboot the device and it will create these files again and you will have to enter your WiFi password again in order to connect.
I am really glad that my WiFi is working back again.
FYI, I'd change the WEP to WPA.

Where do you go to change that setting? I've been all thru the wi-fi settings and advanced settings, but didn't see anything that referred to WEP or WPA.
Just realized we're talking now about the router, not the phone, duh!
Yes, I certainly need to bump up the security settings on my router.

I used root explorer, but could not locate the files you mentioned. Directories were there just not files. I'm still exploring the router side. Thanks for the info tho.
Hello Guys,,
I have kind a problem with wifi WPA2 secured networks. It only works for a few minute. After that, it disconect, and very often after that, and after 15 minute, it goes very strange, in setting says it connect to my wifi,but i can not access the internet?? I already tried full wipe and again the same problem i have,
I thought it was the rom, after i install every diferent rom,is just the same problem with WPA2 secured networks. although i have tried with open wifi it goes fine?
Also i have change the ip setting using static ip,Gateway, and dns i have pairing with my wifi router, doesnt work either, it keeps disconect after a while.
Whats wrong with WPA2 secured networks?
I have other phone that is N****, and its wifi is normal,very fast too in WPA2,but my xperia very slow,often disconnect.
Can anybody solve this?

I have been having this strange wifi problem lately.. I am not able to connect to my home wifi network.
It says obtaining IP address but never connects.. This problem only occurred recently.. I was able use my home wifi before.
After googling around, i tried the following.
1. I went to advanced setting and used static IP. This time it got connected. But i was not able to connect to internet.
2. Did a factory reset.. Then flashed stock using ODIN. Still no luck.
3. I changed the encryption to WPA-PSK... Didnt work.
Can somebody help with this issue please?

Hmm..did u flash any kernel?
I had this problem when I tried to update busybox. But since you have re-flashed stock.
Are you sure its a problem on your phone and not with the router? Try connecting to a different router.
Sent from my GALAXY Ace.
Remove the WiFi connection from your phone, click on forget.
On your router,from the configuration page, change the WiFi security to open then try connecting using phone.
If it works then remove connection from phone again (click forget), and configure your router to WPA or any other such algorithm. Then connect again.
My brother has this problem, have you tried other wifi networks? It may be able to connect to other routers. What does it say after "obtaining ip address", does it connect or do you get disconnected?

Hey bro , i tried what you say and there is no result unfortunately
Got me a new router from my ISP, of course there were issues instantly! Having problems connecting to wifi. Called my ISP and they said there is a bug somewhere in the router or in android itself. The router is a ZYXEL P-2812HNU-F1. They said I needed to get a static ip adress to each device. I got my Galaxy S2 up and running in no time, however, my HP Touchpad is not being so friendly. It says I'm connected but I get the grey wifi icon. Tried to disconnect and reconnect but no result. Also tried to forget the wifi and so on but no result. Also changed to b/g since it handles /n aswell. I've changed the router channel. In addition, my TP have begun to reboot randomly often in very fast cycles. I've flashed the Supreme mods a few days ago and everything worked flawlessly with my old router. Could the Supreme mod interfere with this maybe? Anyone please, this is so frustrating!
Edit: I'm on CM9 14 July build

The wifi icon color is blue when you're connected to the Google servers. I remember reading something similar to your situation, I'll post a link if I find it. Meanwhile, you've probably tried this, but in case you haven't, try turning the router off for a while, then turn it back on again. You might want to go to a later build, they're quite stable. I'm one of the lucky ones, only had any wifi issues once, and turning the router off then back on solved it for me.
Good luck.
Edit : Try deleting the Supreme mods, they might be the problem.
As you said, I've tried to switch off the router and put it back on but I tried it once again but no result. I've also removed the supreme mods but there is no difference. I still get the grey wifi icon. Maybe should try a newer build, so tiredsome though but maybe the only solution. Will call my ISP for a factory reset on the system aswell.
Edit: Managed to come up with a solution. My ISP wasn't of any help so I had to do something on my own. So, I changed the security to wpa instead of wpa2 and noticed that my tablet got connection! The thing is, I want to use the /n standard and wpa does not support that. So (again), I had to enable a second wireless network and luckily my router supports four. One network with wpa2 (laptop) and one with wpa (tablet). Not a pretty solution but it works!

I did read somewhere that giving the TouchPad a static IP address helped with a lot of WiFi problems, maybe its something you could try. I personally haven't had any WiFi problems so I have never needed to test it.

Made a little update on my previous post. The solution was that I needed to change the security on my network (wpa2 to wpa). But as you mentioned, I needed to set it to a static IP adress aswell. Up and running now, as I type at least
try running an atheros update. i also prefer wifi analyzer for connecting to wireless networks rather than the android wireless settings. It shows you detail and information that android settings do not. Lets you configure channel options for B/G/N and A. plus more. its avail in google play.
