Hey, I've actually refered to xda for a lot of my phone problems. But this is the first time i'm posting. If i break any rules I apologize before hand. If my question has been answered before please direct me to the page cause i've been searching for the answer for days and have yet to find it.
I'm using GT-1000T. My wifi had the problem of being stuck at Obtaining IP address.. So i used the static IP fix which works great. But the problem now that i have, is that my browser will only work when i'm connected to my home wifi. Every other program whether whatsapp or google play or anything that require network can work when i use public wifi or use 3G.. only my browser wont..
For example when I'm on the move, and i'm connect to 3G, everything work except for browser. I can download thing from google play but when open browser to use, it'll say unable to load. Please check whether phone connect to internet and stuff like that. But i am actually connected because everything else runs! I thought maybe it was just stock browser problem. So i downloaded dolphin browser, and it wont load either! So i thought maybe my 3G wasn't good enough. Went to a public wifi spot. and everything works except the browser again. Only when i went home and connect to my home wifi can my browser actually work..
Can anyone help please? :laugh:
No one can help with this?

No one had the same problem.
Be methodical. Since this happened after you out static IP,
can you change the wifi setting back to auto.
Will the browser and whatsapp and other work in 3G again?
Sent from my GT-P1000 using xda app-developers app
Try Boat Browser or any other browser from play
I tried putting back to auto IP.. my wifi can't connect and my browsers won't work with 3g still.. I tried using boat browser as well as several other browsers but all had the same effect.. Everything else like whatsapp viber and stuff like that works fine whether wireless or 3G..
Any other suggestions?
I guess my problem is a weird one..

Have you ever installed anything that will hijack http connection or doing some proxying.
To me you are better off backing up everything and reset to factory default, then slowly put back what is needed.
But then you may be not rooted yet, so you can't use Titanium Backup?
Edit, actually I have questions, just for curiosity, please confirms each points
1) at first everything works fine, including browser, via 3G and wifi
2) one day your wifi just don't give you dynamic IP
3) you change the wifi setting to static IP
4) from then on, everything works ok at home. But outside home, browser (public wifi or 3g, same)
5) you revert back to dynamic IP, it didn't go back to like before you change it. Now browser doesn't work on 3G, and at home you cannot get dynamic IP.
does sounds like somehow corrupted TCP/IP stack.
I dun think I have any programs which hijacks http or does proxy.. what kind of app would do that? My device is rooted..
Points 1 - 3 is corrrect.. but after I switched to static, everything still works fine using home wifi. But outside, whether using other wifi or 3G, everything works fine except browsers..
When I switch off static IP, wifi is out the window. Can't connect to any wifi at all.. everything works fine using 3G except browser.. in other word, my browser will work only if I'm connected to my wifi and nothing else..
I thought of hard resetting.. but was trying to find other solution before I resort to that..
By the way, thanks for all the responses so far.. I really appreciate it..
Cheers!

hi
I think the answer for your problem isn't in the ip adresse, you need a custom DNS, use Google dns
dns 1 :8.8.8.8
dns 2 :8.8.4.4
or open dns
dns 1:208.67.222.222
dns 2:208.67.220.220
how to use dns? its easy, just put those numbers in the right place when configuring a static ip adresse.

But when I use static IP my DNS is set to Google's DNS already.. I'll try the second set of DNS and see how it goes.. thanks!
Sent from my GT-P1000T using xda premium
Hmm.. the second set of IP does not work for me.. sigh.. it's beginning to look as if hard reset is the only thing I can do..
Sent from my GT-P1000T using xda premium
am sorry mate, for this kind of problems, custom dns is the answer, at least in my experience (had the same thing on my computer where msn and Skype works but the browser doesn't)
i hope you'll find a solution before the hard reset

Damn it.. I hard reset and it didn't fix anything!!! What can I do??
Sent from my GT-P1000T using xda premium
Since you are rooted, there is an off chance that something has made modification to the operating system.
Hard reset only reset the data part.
You may need to reflash stock firmware with repartition using Odin.
The best way may be using overcome method, link is at my signature.
I am sure you have heard of it.
You will need your Telstra baseband again.
Can you note down your current baseband?

Hi, i used to connect my notebook to internet thanks to router wifi of galaxy tab.
Everything worked well.
Two months ago, i went for overcome 1.4 and I had a great improvements on performances.
Now I found router wifi not working because is countinuosly stucking on looking ip address. I don't know if it happened because I changed ROM or other issues.
Any help will be appreciated.
Thanks.

Restart Tab, Restart Router. Report back after that please.
Tab restarted. Computer restarted. Router wifi restarted.
Tried but same problem: stucking on ip looking.
I also tried tethering but same issue.
Do I need tp install something (like modem from overcome) ?
Thanks.

Did you restart the router fully?
I went to configuration - wireless - router wifi - and i flagged the router wifi option.
I'm not speaking about my router but the router wifi functionality inside the galaxy tab...
Sent from my GT-P1000 using Tapatalk
As advised restart your router. i.e Unplug router from mains power. Wait 30 seconds and plug it back in.
As suggested. Power cycle all your devices. COLD boot them meaning. SWITCH them off till they are dead router, pc, and GTAB, wait at least 30 seconds. Fire them back on and try again. If you still have issues and you dont connect to Adhoc networks. Consider changing the wpa_supplicant of overcome to one from stock. You can find it in the overcome thread. Search for it.
Thanks for your suggestions but I'm not speaking about the normal router for the computer.
I'm speaking about the router wifi function inside the galaxy tab where you use the galaxy tab as access point wifi for any computer.... this is the router I mean (or access point) that doesn't work.
I think there is something in overcome ROM ... I also tried to setup as open access opint (that means without WPA) but same story.
Do I need to flash something in overcome ?
try a thether apk from marketplace as there are issues
mind you...each country has different galaxy tabs
here in the netherlands there are no restrictions and is all working including the phone and router functions

Even tho you have solved your problem, another device in your house could have the same IP
Hello everyone. I had a problem with my samsung captivate and my netgear wnr 2000 wifi hotspot. When I was using 2.1 eclair, it wasn't able to connect to my home wifi. Even now with me running 2.2, I STILL can't. I tried the all share method. It connected but nothing that requires internet worked. Browser, youtube, etc didn't work even when it said it was connected, and the bars of wifi are showing. Anyone know how to fix it? I am really frustrated with it saying "obtaining IP Address" everytime I'm trying to connect to it. I hate using 3G in my own household. Anyone have that same problem? Any solutions?

You also might want to check your router to see if it has a limit to how many connected devices it can have and also if you have a MAC address block on the router.
Using a password? If so try removing the password (temporarily) just to eliminate one thing out of the equation.
Also, does your router have one of those wps buttons that automatically sync with your device? If so have you tried that?
Another thought... I just glanced though your routers user guide and see an option called "Wireless card access setup". If enabled, this blocks all devices not on the "trusted" list. Make sure it's disabled (or add your phones mac address to the list)
Edit: popfan already covered my last point.
Sent from my Galaxy S I896
I had this exact problem, where it would just say "Obtaining IP Address" for about 30 seconds then say "Error" or something like that but only for my own wifi. I could connect to other wifi's fine.
Anyways, try deleting "bcm_supp.conf" using Root Explorer, reboot. Then go into Settings -> Wireless and network -> Wi-Fi Settings -> Menu key -> Advanced and check Use Static IP
Once you have that, open up command prompt on your computer and type in ipconfig /all. Then manually put in the IP you see on your command prompt to the corresponding slots on your phone.
P.S. For IP address, use the IP your router assigned to your phone. You will need to go into your router settings for that.
After that, try connecting again. Voila!
At least that fixed it for me.
Lastly, I'm not sure if these settings affect other password protected networks. Open networks work fine though.
Thanks for all the ideas! Ill keep you guys posted and ill make sure to try all the options. 'Cuz using 3G in your house is stupid

Okay, the method in the linked post works. I recommend using that method intead of mine.
Thanks every one and especially Holmes108. I managed to log into www.routerlogin.net and I added my phone`s MAC address to the list and now my wifi works!

I'm having a weird problem on my stock unrooted note.
Whenever I try to use public wifi hotspots that require a login on a webpage I'm having trouble.
The note connects to the network, but the browser will never redirect me to the login page of that network, so essentially I'm connected to a wifi network I can't use, which is irritating, as whenever it connects, the phone turns off the 3G/HSPA connection, meaning everything I try to do is going through the non-working wifi connection.
does anyone have any idea why i'm not being redirected to the login pages?
tried a different browser? might be an issue with the wifi you are connecting to
it's the stock browser I'm using, but I'll install a third party browser and give it a try. surely it should work on stock? I've tried multiple bt openzone wi-fi hotspots, and several 'the cloud' spots, as well as my college's wifi
It works for me. Is the wifi hotspot that redirects your attempts when you use the dns, not the note itself. Try loading a random page if you have a blank start page.

Rename your access point name.. I had same problem before, after change access point name in router, i can connect again..

The blame is from router. Once it happened to me. Try restart your router.
try to make it static..
I have had this problem on different ROMs occasionally.
Deleting the saved connection on your Phone, searching for the Network and typing the password again would solve my problem.
But for me the Router Restart or even WiFi off and back on (on the Router) has helped with this issue.
Tried to make it static, tried to restart my router a couple of times even tried to change the access point name in the router but nothing helped. All other android devices I have work normally..
Do you have 2 wifi networks with the same name?
Had this problem when my wifi network name at home had the same name as my gf's network at her house

Problem solved, updated the router's firmware
I have the same problem unfortunately, I'm on DMX 1.5 with KOB kernel, wifi worked flawlessly until yesterday, now it's stucked. I have tried roouter restarting/firmware updating, phone restarting, retype wifi password, but nothing helped. The other devices at home (android and bb) can connect though.
Try to restart your router. Commonly the blame is for router.

Next time turn off your router, wait few seconds and turn it on. It must work... i had the same problem few times. It is caused when your wi-fi router remmember your phone MAC address, and then, your phone is being dissconected without pressing "turn off wi-fi" on your phone. MAC address is still remmembered in your router and it wouldn't accept to remmember the same parameters from your device..

Well after a day, it does it again, I have tried to turn off the router for about 5-10 seconds, but it's the same. Maybe the problem is, the wifi router is a bit far from my room, and it disconnects wifi at a few spots, don't know how could I solve this, don't wanna reflash everyday.
Одг: Wifi stuck at "Obtaining IP adress"
How far? What is your singnal strenght?
Sent from my LG-P990 using xda app-developers app
The router is around 20-25meters away from my room, I usually get one or two bars (sensitivity set to -32dbm), but as I said it disconnects a few times, when I go to my terrace it always connects/disconnects in every 10 seconds. I'm planning to broadcast wifi off my computer, so it doesn't matter, I just don't know if it plays a role in this "obtaining IP address" problem, but I haven't had it before so it must be a ROM/kernel problem, I've reflashed it again with a different kernel, I'll see if it works, as it started with the using of this one (King of Birds kernel).
I have read a topic (can't find it now) that said it's a DHCP problem, and the device remembers the previously used IP's and wants to use that, and I should delete /data/misc/dhcp/dhcp-list file to get rid of this problem. However, I cannot get into "data" folder with Root Browser (with root permission of course), nor delete the file with Terminal Emulator, so I couldn't try it. Sorry if I wrote anything stupid, as I'm not into most of these technical things. Thanks for your help.
I'm not able to connect to wifi at all with my One, even when I have excellent wifi strength. I thought I had a defective unit but I got another one and it still doesn't connect. I have no trouble connecting at all with my iPhone 4s, Nexus 7, or Samsung Galaxy S1. (When I run speed test with these I get about 7-10 Mbps download and about 10-15 Mbps upload) Is there anything I can do to fix this? (like an update or something) This is my last resort before I bring it back and use my old phone.
Have you changed your WiFi password recently?

Ok I fixed it. To anyone having problems with wifi, on your wifi settings click "show advanced options," change ip settings to static, and change the DNS 2 to 8.8.4.4

If I am not mistaken that 8.8.4.4 is a google DNS. Meaning you bypassed your providers DNS and are now using this one. This would indicate that there is a DNS conflict between you and your provider....and you basically went around the problem. Hey if it works it is all good I guess and of course I may be way of course in the response. If so then please feel free to refer to me as a dum dum
Edit: Let me re-phrase this a bit because it does not actually indicate a conflict. Apparently your wifi router is set to this google 8.8.4.4 DNS and not the DNS that your provider is using. Thus any device going through the wifi router must match this DNS setting to connect.
Many people on lets say XBOX do this to maybe help with lag and stuff especially if the google DNS server is closer to them than there Providers DNS server.. It is really no big deal in the grand scheme of things but it is not a universal fix as so stated in your reply. Hope this makes sense.
I'm having issues connecting to the 5mhz WiFi network while the 2.4 works perfectly fine on same router. Same thing at work... Laptops connect fine. Tried both stock and viper Rom and still nothing... It just doesn't even connect to the network... The pass was entered correctly.
