[Q] Wifi/network issues (not dhcp related)

Im having some issues with my new galaxy tab.
Whenever I try to use wifi/internet I get alot of network errors/timeouts/dropped packets, no matter what app I use.
whenever that happens I have to press refresh/retry a few times and suddenly it works, after a few minutes it starts giving errors again.
this is not the already known DHCP error, i can connect to the network fine and receive an IP without problems. the problem is the connection itself.
i have already tried to change my routers encryption from wpa tkip to wpa aes, which seems to reduce the number or errors I get but did not fix the issue completely. when I tried to use my htc ad-hoc hotspot with the tab it seemed to work better, could have been coincidence tho
some info:
- its a branded tab from tmobile austria
- the firmware is t-mobile branded PDA: P1000BOJJ3 Phone: p1000xxid CSC: p1000maxjj4
kernel: 2.6.32.9 root at SE-S611 1 build froyo.bojj3
- router is in my room, so the range is fine
so what can I do to fix this? anyone else having this problem? also, why does it say "root" in kernel I dont think I have root access?
ps: your spam check is running amok, cant even use at sign in my posts??

I get similar things sometimes, not sure about the solution. What are the errors you get onscreen?
The root bit means that Samsung build the kernel on a machine that was logged in as root, i.e.: they're stoopid
You get used to the spam filter

It's possible if your in a highly populated area that there is too much contention for air space. There is a great free app in the market called 'wifi analyser'. Use this to test if another wifi is overpowering yours. Also, use the time graph tick away in the background to check for dropouts.
The fix may be as simple as changing the channels of your access point.

Try enabling XPress™ Technology on your wireless router (if option to enable it exists and your routers supports it) analyze your network to see if there is interference from other networks. Finally adjust your router to 802.11 G/N setting I don't think you need a/b.
Hope it helps

[Q]Wifi connects but there is no data transfer

I connect to wifi in my office fast and easy but there is no data transfer and I can not open any webpages (always receive "web page not available")
a friend of mine has captivate but he can connect and receive web pages the router also works with my laptop
I'm on 2.3.4 jvp rom but on previous roms (2.3.3) also have the same problem, I searched the internet and the forum but could not find anything.
Anyone encounter such problem before?

Are you sure its not the office wifi security that isn't the problem?

I dont think so because samsung captivate and iphone can connect moreover my laptop also connected to the same router

I got the same trouble... I am able to have wifi connection but have no data transfer. Did you solve your trouble? What have you done since June?

Might it be hardware or this only occur with particular routers

So the issue isn't with the router, can only be with the phone.
Question now is: Do you have WiFi access anywhere else?
First thing I'd recommend is to double check your WiFi advanced options to make sure that there is no pre-configured options. No static IP, no set gateways, all of that put it in automatic.

Lets try this:
Check whether your laptop can get an IP from your wifi.
I. YES
- Turn on wifi on your note.
- Go to Applications -> Settings -> Wifi settings.
- Look down at Wifi network.
- Touch into the name of your wifi then choose "Forget network".
- Turn off wifi on your note.
- Turn it on again.
- Enter the key and see what's happen.
II. NO
- Check your router configuration.

If you hav have enabled mac protection on router, reset it.

Hi,
Laptops x3 and other peoples phones can get onto WiFi ok, both at work and at home, my Note Will connect ok to the BTFON / BTOpenzone (off of the same routers) with no problems again both at work and at home. We have changed nothing with the routers (BTHome hub 2 and BTBusiness hub at work).
Can you advise what to check with the router as all seems to be in order for all other WiFi devices, it's just my Note that is having a fit and wont connect?
Many Thanks

Hi, Re mac protection, the routers auto set up and I am unaware how to check re mac protection. I cant understand why has my Note decided to stop connecting out of the blue?

I have similar issues.
I have setup a WIFI hotspot and all my non-Android devices can login without any issues (Notebooks x2, iphone3, iphone4, ipad), however my Note and my Blade (all running 2.3.6) and an Acer A500 Tablet (running Android 3.1) cannot connect.
The android devices see the hotspot and will attempt to get an IP, but most of the time will not succeed.
Any suggestions?

I'm having the same problem with the "stuck at obtaning IP address" problem.
Just got my Note 2 weeks ago and am still not able to connect to the internet using wifi.
I can't connect to my home wifi nor starbucks nor any other public wifi. When i use static address, i was able to connect to my home wifi BUT could not use the internet. I really do not know what to do...PLEASE HELP!!!

I too have experienced this. Running stock 2.3.6 + root. happened with lots of different routers. Usually solved with power cycling router & note wifi. Very annoying.

I think (personally), it has nothing to do with the Note at all, BUT on most samsung smartphones...
I read somewhere that Sammy's phones have a weak side in detecting and connecting to any wifi device...
I personally tested this also with my Note, side by side with my friend's Nokia, a Blackberry and a Galaxy Nexus as well.. both Samsung phones stucked at "Obtaining IP address..." for some time, while the two phones (Nokia and the blackberry) connected thru wifi with ease... no problems at all..

I have same problem periodically at my sister's house, especially when a lot of other mobile devices using the router. If you google the issue there are many with same problem.
Simplest way to solve it for me has been to unplug & then plug the router back in. Rather annoying.

I had same prob with my galaxy tab... Forgetting a network won't help..
Nor there is fault of router...
Google this problem you will find results with solutions for xda only... (did the same but don't remember the link)
Al t bst!!

[Q] issue with darkrom 3.4

Hello
since installing 3.4 I have had issues with this rom however none so serious I jumped ship however I have problems with conecting to my home wifi which is causing pain...
I have set up wifi on my note as dhcp and my netgear router is also set to give ip address via dhcp however the note will only connect sometimes otherwise the message 'obtaing ip address' is shown then the connection drops to remembered and then Im back on 3G. I have tried various fixes including re-flashing the rom providing a static ip address. I have this issue with any dhcp network the note just will not connect all the time...

It happen even on stock to me mate.What I do is turn off wifi,go to browser and navigate to any site(yeah with wifi turned off still and data network off),when it gives you error turn on wifi and refresh the page.
I know its irritating but I have no solution and it works for me

still trying to find a solution to this. setting wifi sleep policy to Never seems to help I also deleted the dhcp_list file which forces the note to reconnect from scratch each time it connects to a known network rather than selecting it from the list. still not a full fix. seems to be a samsung thing rather than rom based. do the modem downloads available control the wifi functions or are they just for radio 3g etc as I will try a different modem to see if that helps.....

NETGEAR router WiFi problems

I got a SGS GT-I9000 from my friend, not a tech person, was still running the stock 2.1 firmware. At work I use a NETGEAR router and couldn't find the wireless network. Checked the router's wireless settings and all was well, broadcasting SSID, access point enabled and using available channels, and had an iPhone connected to it. Upgraded to GB XXJVU and still cannot find the network! The scans return a bunch of other networks in the area but not the one I need to connect to. Anyone got any ideas on how to fix this?
