I have had my Captivate for a couple months now and the wifi has been working great without any problems. Today I power it on and try to connect to my wifi home network and it doesnt connect. I knew there was a real problem when I noticed that it is not finding any wifi networks and there are many around here.
My computer and xbox are on my home network and the net works fine so I ruled out a problem with the router.
I tried to use the wps button route and that didnt work.
I also tried to manually input the connection and it gives the the "not in range" message. I did a factory reset and still the same problems.
I have not downloaded any apps or flashed the rom....this just started out of nowhere. My Captivate is rooted and it is stock Eclair 2.1.
I hope you guys can help me with this problem.
Thank you.

If you unroot, does that change the outcome?
Are there any other steps you did on the phone recently?
There is/was a thread in the development section that dealt with this. It had to do with the dhcp file. I had this problem when I was on 2.1 and used the new dhcp file to fix it and it never failed again.
I'll poke around and see if I have it yet on my pc. Failing that I'd suggest upgrading to GB.
Well I'll be....
here is the post

Warning.... Not sure if this is a 2.1 or 2.2 fix. I can't remember that far back! I'd just upgrade if I were you.
Yeah, I would just upgrade to the latest official release from Samsung.
Then re-root on that release.
If the problem persists with out root, you can then contact Samsung or your provider for assistance.
Or it may just fix the issue for you

Hello,
I've been having a problem with AndChat not connecting to IRC.
It will only connect over Wifi, not 3g/edge. I am on T-Mobile and Cyanogenmod latest. More detailed specs are in my sig.
I have tried wiping, reflashing the defanged base and reflashing Cyanogenmod, and reverting my hosts file from AdFree. But I still can't connect.
I have another backup phone that connects to IRC flawlessly with the same simcard, so I know it must be a problem with my phone.
Any ideas on what my problem might be and how I might fix it?
Did the connectivity tester apk I linked you to in the email help?
I downloaded and installed it, but it just sits there trying to connect as well.
I am trying to connect to irc.freenode.org:6667, but I have tried also irc.osx86.hu:6667 and it still does not connect.
It's like just my phone has this problem.
Edit: I tried again this afternoon, I could connect successfully with the tool to irc.freenode.net:6667 and to irc.osx86.hu:6667. But my AndChat still does not connect to either.
This is a pretty crazy problem. It affects more then 1 app with seemingly no cause or pattern. I'm baffled as to what could be causing it :|
Do you think it could be my radio or something?
A while ago I tried an add-on to increase edge and 3g speeds, too, but now it's integrated into CyanogenMod if I remember correctly. So that shouldn't be the cause. Plus, I've wiped and tried new installations of CM since then and still get the problem.
If it was the radio, I think there would be more issues in general. Have you tried different ports on freenode? They use ports 6665, 6666, 6667, 7000(SSL Only), 7070 (SSL Only), 8000, 8001 and 8002 according to their website.
For some reason it magically started working after I got out from work today and tried it. A fellow IRC user (who has also had the same connectivity issues) and I have both had problems but it started working randomly today. Maybe T-Mobile fixed something with the connections? I don't know.
Thank you so much for your help though, it wasn't a problem with your app but you were still very nice and willing to try and fix the problem!
Hi everyone,
I was driving from Wash DC to Montreal about 3 weeks ago. Once I got to Syracuse NY my N1 just froze. I took off the battery and then it wouldn't boot. ( I was running frf50 + froyo radio since the first day it was leaked). I thought maybe a routine wipe would fix it. It didn't work. I was out of options and had to wait until I get to montreal to use a laptop and see whatsup. Once in Montreal I downloaded a Rordriguez Froyo and the phone booted up. Now the problem started. Wifi doesn't work. Whenever I turn it on it says unable to scan for networks and then another error pops up saying " Sorry! Activity wifi settings (in application settings) is not responding." I tried a million different roms and radios and the problem persists... Yesterday I flashed another froyo rom and wifi worked and actually connected to my home WLAN. Then suddenly it stopped working again... Can anybody help me? this is so frustrating, especially since I have only 2 bars of EDGE in my basement. I think it might be the Wifi driver that is causing all this. If somebody can link me with the Wifi driver I might be able to fix this problem...
Thanks!
PS: All radio related stuff work ( bluetooth, 3G...)
if you flashed a lot of roms....and it didnt work, chances are its a hardware issue, not a wifi driver issue as thats reinstalled with all roms
Hi all, hope I'm not repeating a past thread.. But I updated my Galaxy S to 2.2 and now my wifi doesnt work. It worked perfectly up until a couple of days ago, after I factory reset the phone (2/3 weeks after updating), I have checked several times and my password is correct. I searched this issue up, and it appears I'm not the only one who has this annoying problem.
If any one could help me out, I would greatly appreciate it! Would love a nice easy fix, bit of a noob

Apparently Android is not behaving correctly with respect to DHCP lease times. Sometimes my Galaxy is unable to connect (it tries to connect, but immediately gets disconnected). I either solve it by turning WIFI off/on or of that doesn't help: a reboot of the phone. After a reboot I can always connect to my wireless network.
These DHCP issues can be worked around if you use static ip-configuration.
hey, i am new to the whole android system. i have had my captivate for about a week. its running on 2.2 and its rooted. i updated to 2.2 as soon as i got it and the wifi worked perfectly. only problems that i herd of the wifi messing up was immediately after the 2.2 update but mine worked fine for about a week. the error that i get is disabled secured with wpa wpa2 psk. don't understand it, nothing changed just stopped working, any help would be useful thanks.

Try rebooting your router.
ive done all that. i just went to a few friends houses and it connects fine to all of their wifi one being the same ISP. so something happened to my router or accidentally changed a few settings. other than that i have no clue. the error i used to get is disabled secured with wpa wpa2 psk, and now after messing with a few things it just says disabled.
Used to be a common issue in 2.2 based ROMs, atleast in the ones I tried. Switch to a 2.2.1 based ROM.
When mine does that I usually make the phone forget your router, disable wifi, unplug router, plug it back in and then turn wifi on and find your router. Works for me hope it works for you.
Sent from my Captivate running Continuum 3.5 with SuckerPunch #58.
updates? mine has d same issue, that's y Im connected via static ip now
I figured out how get it working. I download fxr wifi fix and rescue from the market and it actually fixed it lol. Basically the process put you in air plane mode, and removed all the previous remembered wifi connections. It has to do something else because I tried that a million times manually but I'm not complaining. Worked like a charm
I know some people use roms. But I haven't really looked to much into them yet. Any recommendations? I've seen a few on YouTube but some major features were not working. And where do I d/l them?
that solution worked for me. thanks
So I have the T-Mobile variant of the LG G4. I had it unlocked straight from the carrier a while ago and all seemed well. Recently I noticed a huge amount of battery drain and 4G LTE usage from T-Mobile's pre-installed apps--mainly com.tmobile.pr or something which is the "My Account" app (imagine being at 60% left with 27% of the drain having been an app and only 9% the screen. Yeah, it was that bad)
This I obviously found unacceptable, so I went ahead to try and uninstall the bloatware. Lo, much to my dismay, Tmobile has locked it down so you can't uninstall the bloatware, and you can only disable it. This alone irked me enough that I wasn't satisfied with just a disabling. I knew I wouldn't rest until I had obliterated it.
I've had plenty of android phones over the years and done my fair share of rooting and flashing ROMs and the like, but I hadn't touched that aspect of my G4 because I wanted a dependable device for school and I didn't want to mess around with it. I knew I'd have to root it to get rid of the tmobile bloatware so I went and did that using the Low effort root method (http://forum.xda-developers.com/g4/orig-development/root-tmo-vzw-intl-variants-soon-root-lg-t3164765). When this was done a lot of my background processes started to continuously crash. I decided to go ahead and put TWRP as the custom recovery and just go ahead and get some dependable 6.0 ROM, and I found a couple of them.
When I flashed the first ROM, the play store services were crashing so I found the google apps package for marshmallow and flashed that too. It seemed to fix the issue. Yet when I would click on my School's WiFi at the setup (which is WPA2 Enterprise) it would crash and say "Unfortunately WiFi has stopped working." I thought that perhaps I mucked something up in the flashing of the ROM, or that maybe there was an issue with the ROM in general, so I decided to just flash another ROM entirely (after factory resetting it all the way). Along the same time as this I found a slightly more modified and feature packed version of marshmallow by this lad here (http://forum.xda-developers.com/g4/development/h815-genisys-rom-1-0-classic-v10g-t3192649). I decided to go ahead and use this one since it had a h811 version there, that involved flashing a h815 and then flashing a patch.
The "Unfortunately WiFi stopped working" issue persisted, however. I found this odd. I then noticed that if I click any other network that ISN'T the WPA2 enterprise network my school is working that everything seems to work fine.
I went ahead and factory reset it all the way again in the hopes that would fix it. No luck.
I booted it to safe mode and tried to connect to the WiFi network from there. No luck.
I downloaded a third party WiFi app off cellular and tried to connect from there. No luck.
I can't enter the WiFi's name and try to enter directly because it crashes there too.
I can't "Forget" the network as it's never joined that network before so there's nothing to forget. It does let me enter the advanced options but a direct press causes it to crash.
So throughout ROMs and wipes and safe modes and all, this one issue has persisted, where my phone's WiFi will crash when it tries to connect to my school's WPA2 Enterprise network. I've tried plentiful fixes short of flashing back to a 5.0/5.11 stock (which I'm hesitant to do because I read something about phones bricking after they downgrade from Marshmallow using the .kdz files or something?).
I'd really appreciate any help that y'all can provide. I've read these forums for ages but this will be my first time making an account because I can't find anybody else with the same issue and its proving to be quite a pain.
tl;dr wifi isn't working with only one particular network and no fix I've tried under this sun has worked so far. help will be appreciated pls
Have you tried flashing this rom here --> http://forum.xda-developers.com/tmobile-g4/development/rom-g4-h811-xtreme-rom-v1-0-7-28-15-t3167667
I am using this one here and I have no issues using wifi. I cannot speak for the 6.0 roms because LG has not dropped the sources for the Tmo variant yet.

I got the brown leather variant from Tmobile and it only says H811 as far as I can tell. Not sure of if its the "n" version or not.
I have not tried that rom but ill be sure to give it a go, hoping it will help solve the issue. I did some additional testing and can confirm the issue lies with all WiFi networks that employ WPA2 Enterprise security.
Will there be any issue with the Rom when downgrading from Android 6.0? I was reading about phone's bricking when trying to downgrade certain versions or bootloaders on the tmobile variants.
I'm pretty sure going back to stock 5.1 will be fine. The Tmo variant hasnt been upgraded to 6.0 yet and the ports don't update the bootstacks. Read here --> http://forum.xda-developers.com/tmobile-g4/development/global-marshmallow-6-0-port-to-h811-t3232760
Update: It seems that any Android 6.0 flash cuts off the ability to connect to Enterprise wireless networks. I went ahead and flashed to the debloated stock rom on the thread you mentioned, but it cut off the ability to record video. As such, I went for the xTreme version that you mentioned, and flashed the camera restores and all.
Everything works fine now as far as I can tell. I also got rid of the Tmobile applications draining the battery and all that. All should be well. Thanks again for the help
