I can connect and use wifi at home so I know my wifi will work on my phone. But at school if I try to connect it connects then immediately turns off wifi on the phone. I have an Xperia TL running on AT&T. Does anyone know what I can do?
Re: [Q] WIFI connections
We need more info about the network you want to connect to. First step is to select the right settings and password for the network.

I know I am entering the correct password. It is a Cisco wireless access point and it uses WEP security. I have connected numerous phones and other devices to this network. This is the first time I have had trouble connecting.
I have solved my own problem. I did a repair using PC Companion and everything works as it should now.

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.

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

I'm going to try this method as well. You should as well if there happens to be a flaw in my method.

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!

Glad it worked out. Routers can be a pain sometimes.
Yah got that rite
I had to reset my router due to an error: none of my computers or phone could connect to the internet. But after the reset, I no longer had to add the mac address of my phone to the trusted list

Hey guys,
I tried a lot of applications to turn my laptop into wifi hot spot like ConnectifyMe, mhotspot, and Wifi hotspot creator, & Virtual router but nothing is working fine. I'm unable to connect my Galaxy Note to wifi hot spot.
Please some one tell me which software is best to use for wifi. If it is free means very good. And the android mobiles should connect to it.

Are you able to connect other devices with your laptop hotspot??
What about vice versa ... does your laptop connects to Galaxy note wifi hot spot?
Here is someone have wrote. I forget the name of poster but i have copied it for my reference. Most probably it was by Ravindra
you can do without any SW
On you XP machine, Go into Control panel
Open “Network Connections”
Right click on “Wireless Connection” and click on “Properties”
Click on the “Wireless Networks” tab and select the check-box which says “Use Windows to configure my wireless network settings”
Under “Preferred networks” click “Add”
Type a name in “Network name” text box
Select “Shared” from the options under “Network Authentication”
Under Data encryption select “WEP” and type in your password in “Network Key” field and now click “OK”
Now the new HotSpot should show in the list of preferred networks.
Click on the “Advance” button and select “Computer-to-computer (ad hoc) networks only” and press close
Hit “OK”.
Now, you need to share the wired internet connection (LAN) so that your Galaxy Note now can access the internet connection through this HotSpot you just created.
For this, Go to local Area Connections, right click it and select properties
Go to the “Advanced” tab and under Internet Connection Sharing check the box which says “Allow other network users to connect through this computer’s internet connection” and make sure the box under that is NOT selected so that no one can disable the network remotely.
Hit “OK”
You are done. Now connect your Galaxy Note using your XP machine as a hotspot.
Hello Mr. Dr. Ketan,

You are not giving much information so the answer will have to be general:
did you subscribe to a mobile data contract with your provider ?
if this is the case, then enter the right credentials in your mobile data connection config.

Happened to me as well.
Check your settings for the data connection eg. Accesspoint name, username password etc...JB may have overwritten those
