My school's wifi is an open connection, but requires you to login through the browser for authentication. Using TexasIce and Medroid, I had no problems connecting, but using BCM, the browser does not load the login page, even if I enter the url for the authentication page directly.
Does anyone have a similiar problem or any idea how to solve it?
Other than this, the WiFi works fine. Before I flashed I did a full wipe, cleared cache and dalvik.
See if you can reinstall it and check rmount in the install options. I believe this may have something to do with it. Please post results. Thanks.
Thanks for the tip. I just reinstalled with rmount, but I will not be back to my campus until tomorrow so I will test it tomorrow and post results.
EDIT: I was able to get to the login page after installing with rmount. Thanks a lot.
However, now its telling me the page has too many server redirects but I doubt thats a problem with my phone. Its probably something with the network itself.

I have successfully flashed my phone with the CyanogenMod-4.2.4 rom, enabled WIFI and can browse the internet.
BUT, when I try to activate my Gmail through the activation wizard with WIFI enabled I get the following error message: “Can't establish a reliable data connection to the server.”
I am using a T-Mobile pre-paid account, which means I don't have a data plan, so activation over WIFI is my only option.
Any suggestions on how to fix this would be greatly appreciated.

Frustrating is more like it. I have spent days search this forum and the web for an answer.
I started out with CyanogenMod-4.2.3 installed and I thought that might have been the problem so last night I flashed 4.2.4 and still have the same problem.
I can browse the internet so I have a hard time believing it is a connection problem. I did come across a post earlier this week where someone was having issues with his WPA2 connection. Later today I will change the connection type and see if that fixes the problem.
If you can think of anything else I might try that would be great.
Thanks for the quick reply.

I changed my WIFI settings to WEP and WPA but still got the same error. Any more suggestions would be great.
The problem is probably due to gapps failing
keep trying and maybe it will go through

I finally got it to work and for those who may run across this thread with the same issue here what I did:
I ran across a thread on a different forum that stated the reason I was having the problem was because I skipped the initial activation process when the phone was first turned on. Well with CM4.2.4 and other rooted roms there is an option to skip the initial activation process, which I did.
So I went back and reread the other threads about how to activate your phone over wifi and they all state the same thing, you will need root access, which allows you access to execute debug commands from your PC to control your phone.
So I did a hard reset and re-flashed CM4.2.4. Then after I rebooted my phone I followed the instruction on this thread http://modmygphone.com/forums/showthread.php?t=9471 to turn on the wifi. Once the wifi was on I disconnected my phone from my computer and proceeded to activate it, which worked like a charm.
Hello people!
I'm having a lot of difficulties trying to make my Galaxy S surfing on the net correctly... No matter what I do, I get 99% of the time this error message: "Web page not available". Sometimes it works, but very rarely. I'm using my home wifi connexion, and I tried every single browser I have: stock browser, Dolphin, xScope... only Opera Mini is working and loading pages normally.
I tried to load pages on MIUI, then on Simplicity, S.U.R.F.A.C.E. then Hybrid... nothing changes, still not able to load pages. I did a clean flashing of a stock JVQ with repartition and I finished with a hard reset after that... still nothing! One thing is that I'm able to load my router's configuration page (at 192.168.1.1). But I simply cannot connect to internet pages like Google, Facebook, Youtube, XDA etc...
I tried other devices on the same router and it's working fine: an iPhone, a Nokia phone, a laptop, a desktop. I tried another router, but nothing...
I have had the same problem, until I have updated my firmware
If you can't right now use Opera mini or Firefox portable. They use their own browser base, and should work fine
On normal data (3G) you can surf on these websites?
Whats about apps?
If you cannot connect through apps do the following:
Go to the setuppage of your router.
Type in your password and login.
Look for the WLAN settings.
Go to devices and look, if your device is in that list.
If yes:
Did you maybe block port 80 for your device?
If not:
Did you typed in the correct password?
Does your router accept new devices? (WLAN extended settings)
Report back
Sent from my GT-I9000 using XDA Premium App
I had a very similar problem where I could only load in sites in opera mini (i assumed it must be something to do with opera mini rerooting traffic through their servers or something) but skyfire, dolphin, stock, opera mobile all would not work. Apps all worked fine like whatsapp, viber, and so on. This happened after i accidentally used the sim toolkit on my phone and it sent "browser settings".
For me deleting and redoing my APN settings fixed it but that would only work if your problem was on 3g. Worth a try anyway.
Thanks for your quick answers

That's what I'm actually doing: I'm using Opera Mini. But it's not as good as other browsers such as Dolphin. I can do a firmware update, or downgrade even, if it is a firmware related issue. I'm actually on JVR.

We still do not have 3G in my country.
Other apps are working fine, they can connect and download data, not everytime but much more than browsers. For example, market would not immediatly download new apps, it takes sometimes 2 or 3 tries. Anyway, I think they're working fine.
I checked my router's configuration to see if port 80 was blocked for my Galaxy S, but it's not. Actually I set it on DMZ mode to see if it will work, but no result.
And I couldn't find something to allow new devices on my router. But I guess it's not a problem since anything I tried to connect to it before worked fine.

I tried to connect on another router, from another place, and it worked. I installed a DD-WRT firmware on the router on which I wasn't able to connect but nothing changed... could it be the router hardware itself? The strange thing is that everything else is working on it (iPhone, laptop, desktop, other phones...).
Hi
When my phone is connected to either my wifi or my schools wifi, I receive an ip address, but I can't load web pages at all. Also, I can't sync my my google account. Thinking that it might be a DNS problem, I've tried to enter a static ip at home and using 4.2.2.2 and 8.8.8.8 as DNS' but nothing works either. I'm running the latest Cyanogen mod(7.1.2), as I thought wiping cache, wiping dalvik, factory resetting and reinstalling another rom would fix my problem, but it hasn't. I've also tried different radio settings in the androdiani settings. This happened a few weeks after flashing a nightly build of cyanogen, so I don't think that was the problem, but I'm not ruling it out as a possibility. Does anyone know what might be wrong? Google hasn't helped much either.
can't ping using the pingback test in *#*#4636#*#* either, and won't even load me 192.168.1.1(my home router).
I had similar problem, but for me the pages loaded, but I had to wait 5-6 minutes to load them(on most of the pages, but not on all pages). But if I was on mobile data the pages loaded quickly. Today I installed pre alpha CM 9 and with it, it was quick
The ROM which is not suggested for daily use is better
i'm having the same problem. i just restored it back to factory setting (at least i think i did) i can connect to the wifi but it cannot load anything.
my wifi has great signal,but if i root the phone the wifi signal is very weak what can i do?
It didnt work for me either so i restored to factory setting and wiping the cache
try it
i have the same problem.
maybe you should check Radio type.
is 802.11b？ You can try to exchange it for 802.11b\g\n
Very sorry for my english
I have an LG thrill and the 02222012 cm7 nightly. I searched everywhere for my problem and wanted to know if this is a known bug. I tried checking the changelog but it said server quota was reached so i couldnt find any information there either. It just stays stuck at obtaining ip address. I have noticed wifi is working for others. Any help would be great.

Hi,
Idk if the note 9 forum still alive or not but i decided to give it a try.
As the title said, while using some apps or try to login some website, the wifi seems not to work but with the same wifi, I can watch YouTube smoothly as other device work smooth too.
The problem is gone if I using the VPN or data. I have done anything I can get from the internet, such as:
Reset network
Using static ip
Using dns
Disable ipv6
Reset whole phone
Wipe cache partition
And etc....
So, i wonder if anyone have the same problem and manged to solve it.

It doesnt change, just the app/website will keep loading until it shows error code or say that the connection error.

My only suggestion would be to mess with some of Samsung's WiFi connection options. Go to Settings>Wifi>tap three dots>Advanced. Perhaps there's an option in there that might solve your problem.
Recently I had a bad issue with my Camera which would open in a split like view & be stuck & not work
Tried a few things & even clear the cache of the phone & camera but did not work
formated my phone & now gives me better battery life & works more smoothly
