WIFI portal issue - Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Any help would be great. My I9000 connects to WIFI without issues. Open and secure.
This Hotel has an open WIFI with a login portal. None of the browsers manage to get to the login page so I can activate my internet .....
Heeeeelp!! LOL

[Iapplications from Google Play, wifi booster and wifi manager, analizer could show where
problem and possibly resolve to switch to a different IP address.][/I]If does not work, probably the kernel / kernel / that helps.

Hi everyone - finally found a solution for this i9000 problem.
Upgrade to Hellybean ROM.
Make sure to backup all your apps first as it uses a different partition layout.

[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.

No connection over WiFi

Hello,
I got the 2.2.1 SuperBled Rom installed on my G1.
Since a few days i cannot use the connection over WiFi.
after turning it on it finds all the access points around and also builds up a connection to my router. i get an ip from my router and everything seems fine.
but i cant use that connection, nothing is working, no market, nothing through the browser, no mails etc. the connection is displayed as connected all the time.
i have not changed any settings on the phone nor on the router.
it worked fine before. it also doesnt work with any other access points like at my uni or friends place.
i can still use the internet through mobile networks.
any suggestions what the problem might be ?
thanks in advance
cheers
I am having the exact same issue but a Rooted Nexus S with CyberGR v10.

Not working: 802.1X / WPA2 / PEAP TTLS MSCHAPV2

Hi,
I'm trying to connect to a WiFi network that is protected with WPA2 with PEAP / TTLS.
It simply is not working. No problems connecting with my HTC Desire though.
Anybody experiencing the same bug? I already installed the required root certificates, tried various combinations of user account / password. The thing is, that the network is provided by my university (Eduroam if you are familiar with that) and it is very annoying that I have to fall back to HSDPA consuming my data quota.
Cheers,
chross
Normally with eduroam wifi there isn't wpa2 or other key. Just connect your phone to it, open your browser and you will be redirect to the website of your university and then you can log with your id.

Yes!! This is the exact same problem I'm having with my university wifi
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=33962871&postcount=2
I'd configure the settings on my uni wifi choosing PEAP and then MSCHAPV2 and put in my log in username and password according to the instruction and as soon as press connect or save it looses the signal immediately to very low and never connects. We also have eduroam as an alternative they tried that and same problem just doesn't want to connect.
It works perfect on my htc one x. I'm beginning to believe the phone has a bug.
It does have a bug. It doesn't connect to 802.11 n!
My problem was solved by reconfiguring my AVW Fritz!Box 7270 to 802.11 b+g only and limit the phones wifi frequency to 2,4ghz only. You can find that in advanced wifi configuration.
I'm lucky i only recognized this bug in my own wifi network and not others i don't have admin rights for...
eduroam works for me with PEAP/TTLS but I guess it's 802.11g
I'm on the 40002 rom, but worked also on the 31006
After receiving the 4.0.4 update yesterday, WiFi now works flawlessly.

Hi there,
I got the same problem with my university network in hamburg. I updated the razor to android 4.0.4 (Stock-Rom: 81.5.40002.XT890.Retail.en.EU), also the phone is rooted but still not working. Our IT advices to use WPA2 Enterprise TTLS/PAP authenthication in combination with a t-com root certificate. Every time i safe these setting the wifi signal drops as told by previous posters and the connection fails. When i enter the settingspage again, all settings are reverted to default. This also happens, while trying to connect to eduroam
any further advices?
Thanks in advance!
I have no problems connecting to eduroam at Braunschweig and other citys. Maybe you can visit the IT Desk at your university?

Yep, me and and a fellow student went there and told them about the problem. But they also gave up, after trying about an hour or so. It seems to be a general problem in the used android build, at least there are a lot of post reporting this at the google code repo -> code.google. com /p/android/issues/detail?id=15631 (sorry for that but I'm to new here to post links). I'll try the provided tips like changing the wpa_suplicant file tomorrow and report the results. Seems to be strange issue, if it works for you (and probably others), because a fellow student got the same Phone and has the same issues
Thought I'd just give an update as I have the same issue
Motorola knows about it, it's been reported to them before and said it'll be fixed with the next update.
Working smooth here with WPA2-Enterprise, PEAP and MSCHAPv2. Using it every day.
But I'm not using TTLS, you might want to disable that if you don't have a valid certificate for your mobile/user.
Also important, fill out the "anonymous user" field with your username. Depending on the RADIUS configuration of your IT this might be required.
[edit]
Just checked my mobile. I don't use a Phase 2 authentication, only EAP = PEAP, no certificates.
Got it working!
After 2 hours of searching the web and playing around, I got it working now, following this guide posted on google code repo:
Razr I (XT890), retail eu, running android 4.0.4 (stock), no root
after endless hours of trying i was able to connect to my university network a couple of minutes ago with the combination of two apps.
1. WiFi Connection Manager
Enter SSID manually
Security "802.1x EAP"
EAP Method "PEAP"
Phase 2 authentication "MSCHAPV2"
Identity "your identity"
Anonymous identity "your identity"
password "your password".
2. WiFi Advanced Configuration Editor
Check Hidden SSID
Key Management: unselect IEEE8021X, select WPA_EAP
AUTH Protocols: select LEAP
Enterprise configuration: make sure Identity and Anonymous Identity are set to your identity, Enter your password
check whether the settings are saved in WIFI Advanced Configuration Editor. If not switch of stock WiFi and repeat step 2 (!!!). Now it should work.
Turn WiFi on and connect to network (Stock WiFi; don't care about settings there, phase 2 authentification is still not saved)
After switching the device off and back on it did still work. Same when leaving and returning to WiFi area.
hopefully it will keep on working. i just tested the browser and play store. didn't discover any problems so far.

Connection is stable, but there seem to be some problems regarding to the speed. Whatever it's usable for stuff you do regularly @university.
Hope that helps others, thanks to klemens

Thank you for sharing, this made me so happy!
It's those two apps which made my connection possible.
My eduroam configuration is quite different, but the apps did the trick. I fiddled with advanced wifi config editor alone for hours without any result.
Now I just hammered the config into those two apps and what can I say - proxydroid reported a connection a few seconds later.
I dont't know what Moto's Problem with 802.1X is.
Defy latest stock rom - no connection. With CM -> no problem.
Milestone 2 with stock rom - no connection. With CM -> no Problem.
Rarz I no connection with stock wifi manager . . .
My fellow students with their samsung devices seem so have no problem at all. ^^
(even Win Mobile 6 works, thats a little bit depressing)
btw, speed is fine here. 16Mbit up&down is more than I need on a phone.
Greetings from Kiel.

[Q] Cable modem/router: Wifi signal ok but no connection

Hi guys,
My phone: Samsung Galaxy S3, GT-I9305, Android 4.1.2
I changed the ISP (Germany: To Unitymedia) and are now supposed to use a cable modem which as well serves as wifi router. My hardware is TC7200 (Technicolor).
After setting up everything, the wifi connection to Win 7 laptop and Apple iPhone/iPad is working fine (also LAN connection to laptop of course).
The S3 showed a funny behavior: It is possible to establish a wifi connection and it gets IP address assigned. Default gateway, DNS server looks all fine. However, this is only the wifi signal but not an internet connection. It is not possible to reach any website.
The strange thing: If the google site is cached (from a different connection and then switching back to this problematic one) I can run a google search and get results displayed. However, it is not possible to open any websites displayed as results here.
I tried several things based on suggestions in the net, like restarting the s§, using static IP address, changing wifi ports, disabling wifi encryption completely, restart the router, factory reset the modem/router. Finally I performed a factory data reset for the S3 but this as well, like all other things, did not help. The phone was never rooted until before yesterdays factory reset, because I wanted to use Titanium Backup which requires root rights.
Of course, in all other wifi networks so far, this S3 works absolutely fine!
I am not sure if this matters at all, but with the new ISP I got an IPv6 IP address while before I had IPv4.
To be honest, it might simply be a hardware problem which has to be fixed by Firmware upgrade by ISP. This problem is sort of known to them and when I called in they promised a firmware update in November. But anyway, it would be interesting to understand more about it and usually there is a solution for everything Nevertheless, I couldn't find a solution in any forum yet.
Any suggestions / ideas welcome.
Thanks!
EDIT:
Post already moved.
Reads like wrong settings more than hardware .
WiFi is kernel you can flash a kernel .
But i would reboot router and phone then set up wifi with no security first .
