Hello everybody on xda first post and it's a problem.
I've recently acquired a Samguns Galaxy S i9000B. First day trying it, everything went perfect, internet conection stable and without problems, everything else good too.
Today I encountered problems with the internet. I can no longar enter the store in my cellphone (Play store), in the internet browser (which is a default by movistar) I can only search for results in google, trying to connect to any other page returns the message "Couldn't connect to the server", whatsapp functions correctly oddly enough.
I have always been connected to the internet thorugh wi fi, which is broadcasted from my modem through a D-Link Dir 320 router, and I don't posses a multimedia plan, i.e. if I don't have access to Wi Fi I don't have acces to internet on my phone.
Lastly i must mention that I had a similar problem on my laptop, and it was solved by changing the MTU value on it.
I've tried the solutions on this thread http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=790974, however, I can't do what is proposed in the first post due to the fact that My cellphone doesnt have the folder pdp0 and, it doesnt recognize the commands ip link, ip link list or ip link set. I've yet to install Busybox, however if I input ip, a list of possible commands appears, being one of them link, but it doesn't work for me.
All other solutions have been tried, such as restarting cell phone, router, pc, etc. And turning off and on wi fi save energy, etc.
Thanks for your help before hand.

1) Try to toggle Airplane mode and restart phone after a battery Pull and power button press for a min
2) Try Menu>Settings>Application>Manage Applications
Press the Menu button, then Filter, then select Running
Scroll down the list and select Device management.
Under the Storage section, press the Clear data button.
Reboot phone
3) In recovery clear data, cache and dalvik cache
4) a factory reset using settings> privacy will be the final way to solve it (only do this when you have undone any lagfix you may have done FIRST)
If this did not do it, you have no option but to flash an I9000B Rom to resolve it

Thank you for your response.
I would actually like to try some stuff with the router, as it seems this is the root of the problem. A friend of mine came with a smartphone that can "lend" internet (not sure this is the right term). After connecting to the internet his phone was lending me i could enter the google play store, load wikipedia and other pages. So it seems to be the way i'm broadcasting my wi-fi.
Having said that, I'm not sure how to begin because if wi-fi works fine for the laptop, why would it run incorrectly for my Galaxy S? I'm not sure how to modify the router to provoke an imrpovement in the conecction.
Help please? Anyone has any ideas?

google your router brand name, and they will have instructions as to how you can reset your router as well as go into its setup menu by using your web browser
Well.. suprisingly now internet works.... However it was sort of magical.
I applied a factory reset to the router (the options are now similar to the ones I had before), and the internet on my phone had the same problems through all the afternoon... Now, 5 hours later... for no apparent reason (no modifications made)... everything is working fine. I ain't one to argue with a good thing... but I'm seriously in awe wondering how the hell it worked itself out without me doing anything.
Thanks for the help by the way.
If it helps anyone else, I did make one change, however i don't see how it influenced anything. I uninstalled all updates to the google play store (reverted it back to android market) as well as erased it's data and cache.

Hi, few days ago on a long drive while I was using the phone (music, gps, wifi scanning) suddenly it run out of internal memory, everything stopped working. I had to reboot it, it was still not fine, but since I was driving I just stopped paying attention to it. Next day it seemed to work again but since then I can't use my wifi.
Activating wifi says few seconds later "unable to scan for networks" and it deactivates itself again. Before I try with factory reset and lose all my settings I wanted to ask here for help. I found some similar problems in forum or google but its about other phones and nothing helped so far.
The wifi is not broken because thetering works - others can use my phone as AP, but I can't use the wifi to connect to any network :-(
N1, Android 2.2, FRF91, Rooted with one click universal root.
Thanks for any advice.
Turn off Wifi, download and use "Cache Cleaner" on Market,
or go to recovery, wipe dalvik cache and cache.
reboot your phone and see if it solves the problem.

Should I do a backup first?
Will (some of or all) my settings be gone after this?
BTW: Something strange happens with my N1, yesterday and today after turning off, when I turned it on, the phone vibrated few times (around 7) shortly, screen remained black and I was not able to turn it on. Removing battery for a second helps.
Maybe I should finally move to Cyanogen, I think I will like it, but I never flashed a phone before, I'm scared I could break it.

Wifi fine again.
Hello,
I'm a newbie regarding Android, I just got a Milestone with MIUI 1.9.9. and I have some problems. First my RAM memory is 0.00 bytes and I don't know why because I'm using only email right now. Second I a have problem with WIFI, I changed the slep policy, and when I activate Wifi it's starting scanning for nothing, no wifi Network appears and when I can connect, after a whie it's disconnecting itself and doesn't reconnect.
I've read that CM7 is the best to install but I don't know how, maybe someone will help me with a turorial, I want to keep MIUI but I have these problems with it.

Try installing the app Script Manager from the Market and running Zeppelinrox's supercharging. A simple search will give you the thread.
What kind of wireless router do you have? What is the encryption?
As for CM7 (and any other ROM), you need wipe your data and both caches.
To do so, you will need to reboot into recovery, wipe dalvik cache, wipe cache partition and then wipe data. Then, you flash CM7, wipe both caches, flash the google apps addon, wipe both caches again, change baseband and reboot.
I tried CM7,and now downgrade to CM6 and still no Wifi connection, it's scanning but doesn't show anything. I use a D-Link router, it's open connection. I've read somewhere that on 2.2 or 2.3 based Android versions wifi it's not working. Does anybody know a solution to this issue?...
I really need my WIFI connection.
P.S. The hardware it's ok, I went to a mobile service and they told me it must be software problem.
I'm trying to update to Eclait Teluslite but I have problems in openrecovery with and I get verifying md5 then all failed and E: Failed verifying checksums. Someome told me that with eclair solved the wifi problem
The only wifi problem we have is with the sleep policy
Try to reboot your router.
If it doesn't work try to see if you can get a connection with another one.

It's like this, I installed again MIUI, I like the interface, sometime(rarely) or only one time I can connect to my router, all working, but in a while it disconnects and after that the phone is scanning but it doesn't show me any network, just not in range. And it's doing like this in any MOD. Sleep policy is never, 13 channels, proxy on/off...nothing seems to work to find again the wifi and connect.
Check my signature, and post a kernel log, when it does that.

ok, I hope I got it right and this is the log. Wifi is activated, scanning but my network doesn't show up. I have a N900 that is working just fine with my wifi router.
Accidental call hold (upper-left corner touch issue)
Hi,
I find calls are often put accidentally on hold, as my ear touches the "hold" button on the upper left corner of the touch screen.
The functionality supposed to prevent this (the promixity/light sensor near the center of the upper border) does work when I test it manually, but apparently I tend to keep the phone at the left ear in such a position the ear doesn't cover the sensor all the time.
This has been a recurring issue on the Milestone, both the original firmware and now with cyanogenmod 7.
I remember others commenting on this when the Milestone was new. Anything in Cyanogenmod to resolve the issue? If not, a couple of alternatives come to mind
* switch the phone program to something other than the Motorola original
* if source is available, modify the phone program to have the hold button in a different place, recompile & install the modified phone program
* other suggestions?
UPDATE: Solved the issue: there's an option to hide the Hold button in cyanogenmod 7:
From general settings menu: settings --> call settings --> Hide Hold button

I have now
[ROM] HO!NO! mod CM7.1.0-RC15-11.09.14 and doesn't reach to scan wifi because it's turning on/off over and over.
Update: back to MIUI...HO!NO! moving to slow, lag...still the same wifi problem
Kernel log looks ok .. other then
ADDRCONF(NETDEV_UP): tiwlan0: link is not ready
sorry for late reply. i had problems.
but if it starting to do that by itself "on and off" it's already been discussed as hardware related
does your wireless router has ipv6 enabled ?
try one more time this (without kernel):
logcat -f /sdcard/KernelLog.txt

This morning I found wifi, connected, working very nice and after 5 minutes it disconnected and scanning but network not in range. I restarted the router, forget the network, tried again but nothing.

My Galaxy 7 tab will not connect to my router, there are 2 sky routers it is trying to connect to, not sure why it is trying to connect to the other.
How can I remove the unwanted router from the list of devices?
Thanks Mark
Turn off wifi, still in the settings, tap once in one router, and choose delete.
Is better you delete both them.
And after this connect again for the one that appear when you turn on wifi.

I have tried that but I do not have the key for the one I want to remove and when I press it it brings up the wireless key screen

Try tap and HOLD and a menu should pop up.
Install wifi key recovery from market first then loss of key should not be an issue.
(I'm assuming you're rooted)
Wi-Fi recovery keeps force closing and tap and hold just brings up the key entry box
Let me get get it straight. You saw two routers on the list.
One is the one you want and have key for it.
The other is the one you don't want and have no key for it.
1) is that correct?
2) how do you know your tab is trying to connect to second router.
If you just want to remove the second router ( aka don't want to see it hanging around) , you can't.
It is broadcasting and you will always see it as long as it is turned on.

OK thanks need to find out who it belongs to then.

My point is, the second router is just being around, you don't have to connect to it or remove it.
That is why I asked how do you know your tab us trying to connect to it.
My suspicion is, it is not trying to.
It just happens to see the other router.
You can just ignore it and connect to yours.
If the tab can't connect to it despite having the right key, maybe it us MAC filter or something else. Just focus on that and forget about the other router.

I have a wifi problem as well where I cannot connect to my wireless routers, even after deleting the settings and trying to get in again. One is open the other is secure but i have entered the correct key. It gets stuck on acquiring IP, but my other devices connect almost immediately.
Any clues?

This is where mine stops as well.
Still looking for a solution to this problem, beginning to considerer a factory reset.
I have tried turning security off my wi-fi and it still does not connect.
Not sure what to do about this problem now, I did a factory reset but the 2 routers are still trying to connect, so I went into download mode cleared cache and reloaded system from download menu and the 2 routers are still both trying to connect.
I have found details on the net about removing the DHCP details using a root exploer but my tab no longer seems to be rooted and if I try to root it using Z4Root which I used before it fails to root the tab.
Any ideas how I can root the tab to get to the DHCP info?
Thanks Mark

I heard from another that an app uou can download from google play called WIFIX helps wofes a lot of wifi problems.
Ok ladies and gentlemen I am in need of some assistance.
Today I received a previously used Galaxy Note 3 from someone on Swappa.
The device functions perfectly in just about every way and I love how zippy it is compared to the original Note that I just got out of.
The main problem I am encountering right now is the message telling me that the phone could not establish a connection to the server.
While I see that there are other forum posts that address this issue, I would rather talk to other Note 3 owners about this matter and what steps I should take to remedy it.
I've been reading that a root method may be the best way to go, I just need to be pointed in the right direction and instructed properly.
Hope to hear from you all very soon, cheers!

Try Another Data Connection
Attempt to connect to a different network and see if that clears up the problem. For example, if you are connected to a Wi-Fi network, try connecting to the mobile network instead and vice verse. Some users have reported fixing this problem by simply resetting their wireless router.
Check Date & Time
The date and time must be accurate for things to work. Wait for your wireless carrier to update the time automatically, or set it manually under “Settings” > “Date & time“.
Reset Google Apps
Sometimes, simply clearing Google Apps resets things just right.
Go to “Settings” > “Applications” > “Manage applications” > “Google Apps“, then tap the “Clear data” button.
Go to the Home screen.
Select “Settings” > “Data synchronization” > “Google“.
Enter your Google credentials.
if all above go not help try to re flash stock firmware .

I don't think rooting will help you, i will try to refresh with stock rom.
Ok I'll try it out and see if that remedies my issue.

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.

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
