WiFi logo confusion - 7" Kindle Fire HD Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

I'm confused about the WiFi signal/logo on top. When I'm connected to the WiFi network at home, work, of st my in law house the WiFi logo of fine, looks normal. I use an overdrive pro while on the go. When I connect my fire hd to this I get the WiFi signal with full bars but it has a "x" over it. The odd thing is though it's that I still get internet access like normal. The x never comes off. When I connect to it out for ask me that I need to "log in". It's a pop-up that comes out but I just push cancel and just continue. If I push ok then it leads me to the Amazon website. Weird. Any guesses?

Have you registered your device at start-up?
That may be your issue

This is a know bug in the latest version from amazon. It is only visual though, so like you said, your wifi functions fine even with that icon. So while it may be annoying, try to ignore it

Ok just a note. I changed the security setting to accept both versions of wpa. Im not sure what the acronyms are right but i think its wpa2 aes and wpa tkik. Compared to it only being on the wpa2 one. Idk. Now my tablet accepts the wifi without having little x on it.

[Q] D3 Wifi will not turn on, help?

Title pretty much says it all, everytime I turn wifi on, it tells me it's turning on then after a while it'll say disconnecting, then turning off and repeat teh cycle. I have tried restarting, I am rooted but it had this problem before root. Also, please dont just respond "take it to verizon" cuz they won't like my root.

Sounds like a hardware problem. Has it ever worked?
Network issue? It might have a limited connectivity situation going on and trying to continuously authenticate with your router.
have your checked router settings?

Yeah, it used to work fine, could it be an app I downloaded, or some superuser privelages messing it up? My phone used to freeze regulrly when too many apps requested superuser privs. No sure if same issue...

Is it possible to try connecting to a different network and see what happens? My D3 did the same thing and it turns out I just needed to reboot my router. I figured it out by going up to Starbucks where the phone connected just fine.
Definitely hardware. I had the same problem on my previous stock droid 3. Just went out one day. Took it to verizon and they sent me a replacement. Unroot and get a new one.
Also, gps stopped working around the same time. I wonder how widespread faulty hardware is now considering a lot of people with gps problems and if they might see wifi failing soon..

Seriously?! anyone get the Nexus 7 to work without wifi?

Short Story: Is there anyway to make the nexus start working without WiFi?
Long Story: Sherman, set the Way-Back Machine for about a month ago. So there I was the day of the Google I/O conference refreshing the google play store over and over again until the moment I could order my Nexus 7. Needless to say I ordered it the minute I could. Today I recieved my Nexus 7. It took a while to get here. I picked it up from the mailroom three hours ago. I let it charge and turned it on. First screen asks for my country. Second screen says searching for WiFi. And there I sit because , I don't have WiFi. Is there a workaround for this? Or do I have a $250 paperweight, until I get home later this year?
I can't be the only one with this problem.
Resources available to me:
1) I have a laptop that is connected to very slow internet (ethernet, not wireless). It has USB ports, but I don't think theres a way to share internet through USB. I can not attach a wifi router to this network.
2) I have WiFi where I sleep, but I need to open a browser and put in a username and password to log in. I don't think that will work because I can't get to the web browser part of this.
My last resort is to mail it back home to have family activate it and then mail it back to me. Kind of absurd. Anyone have any suggestions?
Thanks,
Josh
EDIT************
ATTN TROLLS: before replying and looking stupid, make sure to read the whole thread. The problem has been resolved. I even explained how I resolved it for other people with potentially the same problem. I have also clearly explained why I bought the Nexus 7. A tablet is a tablet. Without WiFi it still lets me read books, play games, do Sudoku puzzles, and watch episodes that I bring back on a USB thumb drive. I used it to replace my Nook Color running CM7. I have enough WiFi back in my room to browse the web and check my email.
Thanks to everyone that offered constructive help.
To the trolls, I hope you get pushed down a slide of razors into a pool of acid.
Does the laptop ha e wifi, if so you can share the wired internet connection wirelessly via connnectify

You wouldn't happen to have a neighbor with an open network you could leach off of do you?
That seems like a serious oversight if this is the case.

Well, if you are rooted (should be able to root without setting up) then you can just kill the 'setup', process through adb on your pc. You could also try to flash a ROM without that set up process. Like CM
I thought this when I was setting up my tablet and wondered when would happen if someone didn't have wi fi available immediately.

Or this. But hey, go grab a coffee, then root.
I had wifi and it still couldn't detect it when i turned it on! I panicked and i sat there at the first screen bevause there was no option to manually enter wifi settings. My network has secure and ssid off, but couldn't even see neighbours (ssid on).
But I tethered insecure net from phone to get past first screen. Should be able to borrow a friend's internet this way, it doesn't download much.
I have no idea how you plan to use the n7 w/o wifi, at least during setup, it is in terms of service...

Not sure if this still works, but you used to be able to bypass activation by touching all four corners of the device. Top left, top right, bottom right, and bottom left.
I tried the four corners thing. It didn't work. Unfortunately there are no McDonalds or Starbucks near me. I only have these two networks to work with. I bough it to replace my Nook (CM7), which I use to watch episodes of TV shows. I bring the mSD card to work, and put episodes on it, then bring it back to the room and watch them till I fall asleep. With the Nexus I was intent on copying my episodes over through the ethernet cable by day, and taking it back to the room to watch them at night. I guess I'll have to keep watching my shows on my Nook. Sucks. New toy is useless.

I take it u can't skip the sign in like on phones, if u have no way of getting on a wifi network, you can possibly try to kill the setup process via adb...its not really a google oversight, its 2012 WiFi networks are rather easy to find.
I guess I'm just lucky enough to be where they aren't easy to find.

I have no cell phone coverage here. Although I might be able to use my cell phone to connect to the wireless back at the room, use the cell phone web browser to log on, then tether it to my Nexus. That might work. I'll try that tonight.

use a WIFI dongle to attach to your laptop. make it a hotspot using "connectify" software and connect your nexus to it. your laptop must have internet access.
setup aside, how did you plan on managing files etc on the n7 long term without wifi?
Seems there are other products more suited to your needs if you aren't going to use any online or network features.

Chromecast + Gnex Hotspot or Galaxy S 4g is working [update] also with AirCast app

I've successfully set up my Chromecast with my Gnex hotspot and my Galaxy S 4G, and Netfilx and Google Play Music stream perfectly: however, Youtube and Google Play Movies and TV is tricky: it takes too long to load when it works. I got a Youtube video to work but only once. Tabcasting works but it lags. I think we need a thread that troubleshoots this type of problem, but if I'm wrong, please disregard this thread. If it's needed, please share your experiences here. The screenshots I'm attaching is my current setup (I switch my one sim card between phones): in this case, my Galaxy S 4g is the hotspot, my Gnex is MyPhone, MT6451 is my laptop #1, VPCM11AX is laptop #2, FranciscosiPhone is my iphone, and the Azurewave Tech is (I'm assuming) Chromecast.
Update: gnex as hotspot, s 4g as source with Aircast streams movies from SD card.

May I ask how you managed to get this thing to work? I've tried multiple methods for Wifi tethering using the Galaxy Nexus and all have failed. I have tried Wifi Tether 3.4 and the stock tethering option. The errors include, AP Isolation needing to be turned off, UPnp not configured, and no connection. Once I do eventually get connected, its slow and just kicks off while trying to reload. Are there any additional settings in the wifi tether app that need to be addressed? Any help would be great. Thank you.
No need for apps. I'm running cm10.2 on my gnex and 10.1 on my galaxy s 4g. Try to setup with the chromecast app but don't change the Chromecastxxxx network name. That is one problem. The next problem is "connection failed" due to password. That's fine. Double check your gnex password and try again. If you get try again just press cancel and you'll be set. It's a bit tricky but I've done it several times with both phones. If you get stuck, let me know and I'll post a video or something.
After I pressed cancel, I was set up. The first time I did it, I didn't know I was set up until I noticed the app said "Ready to Cast." Then, after resetting the Chromecast to troubleshoot some problem, I realized that changing the ChromecastXXXX name is the main problem.

Yeah, runs fine. Though, naturally my battery drains quickly.
I've tried this method and it doesn't work for me. Left the chromecast's ID as default, was able to get it to connect, but the Chromecast itself is never recognized by any device. I can refresh or toggle wifi and eventually it will show up as an option in Google Music/Youtube, but then trying to connect to it produces an error message.
I have tried using a Galaxy Note on T-Mobile run tethering and surprise surprise, it works, but because they don't have unlimited data like I do on Verizon, it's not an option at all. Seems like it might be an issue specific to the GNex.

On the gnex, try going to settings-wifi-advanced-wifiFrequencyBand: 2.4 GHz only
Sent from my Galaxy Nexus using Tapatalk 4
So with this method you used your galaxy s as the hotspot and the gnex to setup the chromecast correct? I don't have a second phone to do that, have you gotten this to work by using the windows chromecast setup app? I can't connect...with or without a password on my hotspot and using 2.4ghz only.
Please explain how you set this up step by step
Currently, I'm using the gnex as a hotspot. I originally used chrome on Ubuntu to set up. Actually, any setup will work. I switched to see what works best and I think the gnex hotspot is more stable. You will, however, need a 2nd phone or computer to setup. Sometimes setup gets a bit tricky and says setup failed but that may not be correct, as I showed in the screenshots.

Thanks, I'll try this out when I get home and see how it fairs.
I tried the 2.4Ghz setting and the Chromecast app doesn't recognize the Chromecast at all. Even though it's set up and connected to the network, the app will detect it as needing to be setup, even though Chromecast displays "Ready to Cast." I really think it has to be related to some Verizon LTE thing because I don't really know why it would instantly work on a T-Mobile Galaxy Note but not for a Verizon Galaxy Nexus. Doesn't really make any sense. I don't think using CM10.1 has anything to do with it either. I also tried CM10.2 with the same results.
OK. If you are "Ready To Cast" and you can't, this is what I found: YouTube, Google movies, and music are "blocked" if you don't have a paid hotspot plan, but Netflix and casting from your computer should work. On my sim, I had about 99gb of data and Google doesn't cast but Netflix and tab casting works. On my wife's sim, the hotspot on her plan is still less than 500mb so I can stream. This is on T-Mobile.

Network rejecting Chromecast

approaxamitely one a day for the last week since i cant back to clolrado after buying my CC in California and sice i have its been nothing but problems all seemingly network realted
the first issue was the chromecast was asking for a different IP then it was getting that was fixed by just assigning it that IP
since doing that about once a day i need to unplug and re plug in my uncles router to get any device to see the Chromecast but the CC sits at thw Ready to Cast screen like nothing is wrong.
is that device related?
or network?
no one?

I noticed that if I open an app while not on my home network and then background it, then if I launch the app when I return to the network, it usually will not have the cast icon. This is fixed by killing the app from the backgrounded app list (soft button that looks like two rectangles on jellybean, not sure what it is really called) and then relaunch.
One time this did not fix it. My router was the issue though and preventing my devices from seeing the chromecast. I reset the router using the routers reset button. After the reset, everything worked great.

"Your Network is Unstable" ?

Did you guys notice that the Note 3 keeps giving this message every time it connects to a wi-fi network?
You then need to change the settings to make it ignore the message and stay connected. But the message will always pop-up.
Any ideas if this is a Hardware or an Android 4.3 issue?
i get the same notification all the time.
I remember seeing this message before. Now, I get "Prevention Information" when I connect to Wifi

Never had this, never saw it. Nit even once. All I have seen from day one is "Connected to XXXX" where exactly are you seeing this message? i have not seen it in notifications, nor in the little pop up at the screen bottom -which I hate personally - oh to have a custom ROM, sigh! Actually now that I am rooted, I suppose I can research the fix and implement myself... It's pure laziness (on my part) is what it is, and there's NO excuse for it, lol!

I have a brand new ATT Galaxy Note 3 rooted and running stock firmware and I too get this message all the time. I didn't realize I could force it to connect anyways, could anyone elaborate on how to do this? My Wi-Fi connection is very strong and my internet speed is fast, I know the problem is with the phone. I don't know what's causing this problem. If I had to guess though I would say something to do with KNOX. I started getting the "Prevention" message people are talking about in the other threads about the same time this Wi-fi thing started.

I get that message from time to time and it generally happens when i can connect to wifi but the quality of the connection is weak, or the internet connection itself is poor.

That's funny because when I experienced this problem I did this and that notification stopped! The first day I received my Note I had this problem..... I made the change in network settings and it's never been back! Maybe I just got lucky!

You did get lucky, the way samsung is describing it is that it's an random problem that they don't know what causes it
