I've got a couple of WiFi issues with my SX66 and was wondering if anyone else is experiencing them.
1. There doesn't seem to be a good way to enter my WPA Key. I used to be able to copy and paste it in the dialog but now paste has been disabled. Typing 63 bits is not fun.
2. After a reset my wireless network settings are gone, I have to retype my WPA key.
I can't navigate through the web when connected to wifi... it says connected and i get an ip address but every time i go to PIE it says connection has been lost can't find the page you were looking for.. over gprs it works fine..
Wifi seems to be okay except for the device off problem. When you turn off the device and wifi is on, it doesn't turn on again when you power on the phone.
My wireless settings don't go. I think the problem of having to re-select my "Internet" network that was with WM2003SE is now gone.
Hello,
Ive searched and Ive searched for 2 days now on this site, b ut cant find the answer.
My Touch Pro keeps prompting my for my WiFi key. Once the key is entered, it connects OK, but if I restart it asks again.
Ive searched through the Comm manager but cant find anything that allows me to predefine a connection.
Any ideas?
thanks
Same problem on my Touch Diamond. Anybody can tell us how to save the WI-FI settings as on PC. Thanks.
Not really sure if this problem is global cause I don't face this problem it never asks me fer the network ever once i set it....
what a key is used? WPA, WPA2 or WEP? Try an other! I had this Problem sometimes with WEP-keys...
Using WPA-psk with tkip encryption. Dont really want to use WEP.
Same issue here. Using WEP encryption at work and at home, At work though, I haven't been prompted to enter it at all since the first time I logged in, at home, I'm asked each time it tries to reconnect.
Possible soultion... worked for me.
Install Schapps Advanced Config, cant find link at mo...
in Network there is a value:
WPA authentication:
set to Enabled
click Done and restart
delete the wi-fi connection and wait for the phone to find the network again.
this worked for me.
hey guys ..
i can't think of any reasonable reason why it's not connecting to my router !!
i'm using my wifi connection with many laptops ..
and the GalaxyS was working properly yesterday too !
but now it's not working .. it finds the network and start obtaining IP adress for it but it can't , it just try to do that again and again
i assume that there is a password...you tried re-entering the password?
if so and still not working.
what did you do in the phone yesterday before it stopped connecting?
installed anything new?
yes there is a password .. i tried to enter it again
and i tried "forgetting this network" and start the connection over with no result
i didn't install anything new, but i updated some of the programs i have !
What ROM are you currently on ??
i have had this issue many times with darkys ROM
i'm using an official one ,, the one came with the phone (Froyo)
thats weird....
what about the kernel ?? or is that stock too ?
stock too
2.6.32.9

hmmmm........
i dont know how to help you.... whenever i get this problem i re-flash the kernel / modem / ROM.
I think you may need to do a factory reset, in order to get the wifi back. BUT !! to make a full backup you will need an app like 'titanium backup' which requires you to be rooted.
I can pretty much guarantee a reset will fix your problem.
Also if you dont fancy going on to a custom ROM, have you checked your up to date with KIES for the latest firmware ??
ok if i backed up my data ,, will it back up my apps too ??
or only emails, msgs and numbers ?
titanium backup will back up all your apps and app data and settings.
then after the reset, re download from the market and do the restore and hey presto !! job done.
ok i'll try that and i'll let u know
it worked .. thanks
well done thats good news !!
Reboot
I sometimes get this problem, too. I'm on stock ROM and kernel. When it happens I simply reboot the device and problem solved!

Try this.
Firstly, what brand of router do you have in your house? You need to find out if the router itself has restrictions on how many 'clients', or devices, it can have connected to it at any one time. To know what brand of router you have also helps with what the "Internet Protocol' (I.P.) address it has. It should be something like,
192.168.0.1
or
192.168.1.1
or similar. You will find out this information, on a Windows computer that's connected to the router, by clicking the Start Button, and where the 'Search programs and files' bar is at the bottom, type in (without quotes) 'cmd' and press Enter. At the prompt, type this exactly:
ipconfig /all
and the IP address of your router will be shown next to 'Default Gateway'. You then type those numbers only into the address bar of Internet Explorer/Firefox/Opera/Chrome and a pop-up will appear asking for Username and Password. Username is often
admin
and the Password is either
password or admin
You can then look for Wireless Settings that will show you if there are restrictions on how many actual devices can be connected to your router at the same time. While you are in the config of your router, it's a good idea to have researched the Primary and Secondary DNS (Domain Name Server) addresses of the Internet Service Provider you are currently signed up with. Just Google 'your internet service provider's name' along with 'DNS settings' and you will find the info you need.
You can then input those details into the router directly through the Settings menu, and change it from constantly seeking a domain to a situation where the router knows exactly where to look for the internet. This can speed up your internet a bit. With all the info you've grabbed, you can also set static (permanent) IP's for every client (computer/device) that's connecting to the router, making the whole network in your home faster.
Okay, now to your Galaxy. If your router is allowing a large number of clients on board it's wireless network, then it's a case of your Galaxy and the router not talking fast enough about assigning an IP address to your phone. The way you fix that is quite simple, assign a static IP to your Galaxy. With wi-fi turned 'On' on your Galaxy, go into Settings/Wireless and network/Wi-Fi settings. You'll see the name of your network there, and it should say something about 'obtaining IP address'. Now, here's the fun part.
Click on the left soft-key, and you'll see 'Scanning' and 'Advanced'. Click on 'Advanced', and a new menu will open. Down the bottom, you'll see 'IP settings' and under that, 'Use static IP'. Put a check in that box, then click on 'IP address' (below the checkbox). A little window will pop up, asking for an address. You now need to put a value in there that's similar to your router's IP.
Example:
If your router's IP is 192.168.0.1, then you type into the box 192.168.0.3
You need to make sure that the last digit (or digits) you use is different from any other computer using a static IP that's connected to your router.
Once you've clicked OK, scroll down a bit and you'll see more options. You need to tell the phone what 'Gateway' to use. That number is the same as what you found when you looked up the IP address of the router. Next, 'Netmask'. That's 255.255.255.0 Now, 'DNS1' and 'DNS2'. They are the Primary and Secondary DNS addresses for your Internet Service Provider, that you researched earlier.
Now you should find you'll connect to your router a lot easier, and have a more stable connection. Note, however, if you go roaming about and try to connect to a wireless 'hotspot' somewhere else, you'll need to go into the same area of Wi-Fi settings and turn Off Static IP in order to connect to the 'hotspot'.
Hope that helps...
Hi Everyone,
So at work, we use an open network to connect to WiFi. Log in through the browser and then put in the proxy details.
The problem: Everytime the WiFi disconnects I have to re-enter all the proxy details. Having wifi always on is one way to solve half the problem.
However I need to put in the proxy details every single time I connect to the network it makes me mad!
Does anyone know a way to get it to store wifi settings or to get it to remember Open networks?
Thank you in advance.
I have a issue I'm having that I've tried all I know and it's still not fixed. My issue is I'm at school and they have a wifi network. And to gain access to it you must
Connect to it
Enter the security key
Open a Web browser
Log into my account
You now have access
This works on my note 2 and other people's laptops but not mine.
I can get it to the point of entering the security key and says it's connected but then says no Internet access. And when I open a Web browser (tried chrome and ie) it never give me a prompt to enter my log in.
So I'm at a loss. If anyone knows any tips or tricks to try I appreciate it.
I had this with the Uni internet every bloody year after the summer.
Did you check the encryption settings? For me it turned out they decided to switch between AES and TKIP every year. Still don't know why that struck them as a good idea, but alas.
Yeah its aes when I switch to tkip it doesn't connect anymore
I finally found the issue. For some reason when I reset all the network stuff and adapter the default setting for ipv4 was set to a specific dns server. So I just changed it to automatic and it works now.
