I cant connect to wifi on my Lg Thrill. I can get on Facebook and check email, but when I try to set up my google account, it tries to connect to the wifi, and says cannot establish a reliable connect to the server. Is there anything I can do to fix this??
After hours of reading on here and other forums, I have discovered that I cant even find any kind of app for wifi on my phone. Is it possible that the wifi file has been deleted from my firmware....or OS??? It is stock running FROYO 2.2.2. I also tried a hard reset. No such luck. I am currently trying to upgrade to Gingerbread and the ICS, but of course am having issues with the update. If I get the update to go through will this repair the wifi? Or do I need to do something to the current FROYO??? Any help would be greatly appreciated.
It should be build in, did you turn on wifi?

I know this has been discussed before but I cannot find a solution that works for me. I accidently erased my connection settings. In doing so, I lost ability to surf the web. I went to an AT&T store and they input some settings that got me back on IE. But then I noticed a problem when trying to send/recieve e-mail. It will not send and recieve unless I am connected to my computer via USB or WiFi.
I found a thread that shows how to reinput the At&T ISP and MediaNet info in the settings/connections menu. I tried that. Went into manage existing connections, held on the connection and clicked connect. Still doesn't work. I tried downloading and installing the Cingular PDA Media Net settings that I also found in the other thread and still doesn't work.
So I was gonna try to reflash the phone, but then I saw that people were having this same problem after a reflash and didn't havethe problem before. So I wanna try everything possible before I do that.
Another thing I noticed that is when trying to sync my contacts to my PC, Active Sync tells me outlook is not installed on my device. WTF? This never happend before either! Thanks!
HI there, I have the dreaded 'unable to scan networks' wifi problem- it started after I set up a mobile AP (I didn't turn the AP service off after I'd finished with it- I wonder if that's what caused it?)...
Anyway, I've since learned via this board that I can fix my wifi by 2 methods: 1) performing a reset (would rather not) and 2) editing a line somewhere, root access is required.
I do have a third option- waiting until the 2.2 OTA update comes through, which I understand will require (and perform) a reset anyway.
However, I'm sick of waiting for 2.2.
What I'd like to know is: If I root my phone & fix my Wifi, will I still receive the OTA update?
Anybody?
TIA.
the 2.2 froyo is not OTA
it is OTK (over the kies)
just turn off your phone, then turn it back on, that should reset your WiFi stuck i/o
some times the GPS does that too, just turn off the phone, turn it back on and they work right away.
in contrast to the HTC Windows Mobile phones, the SGS is much much much better, i barely have to do any restart of the phone with Android
with Windows Mobile it was at least 10 reboot a day
Restart doesn't fix it... Tried removing battery, etc. etc.
The 'unable to scan networks' problem is a known issue- at least to this board, If not to samsung.

Im in the same boat as you mate with my Samsung galaxy s, i have tried turning it on and off with alternate battery in and out methods, my wi-fi just wont work now, it turns on, comes up saying "Unable to scan networks" and turns the wifi off.
I have read on many posts about the issue and the best fix appears to be here:
hxxp://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?p=8062313
*Sorry its not linked, this is my first post so i assume it wont let me post links until im roughly around the 25th post mark.
The issue i find with using this method is that in order to browse the phone at a root level to get to that file, you need to pay for the App in the android market to do it.
I have rooted my phone already and already applied the lag fix (boy did that change things), but im more contemplating doing the upgrade to 2.2 than buying the app just to fix a wifi issue. Im hoping this gets fixed in 2.2, or at least a more easier solution / fix.
My question is, if i did buy the app to browse the phones file system and i fix the wifi, does it fix it permanently or just until it happens again and i will have to follow the same process again... ?
did you both turn off Bluetooth when using WiFi?
you can't use BT when using WiFi
I've never had to turn off bluetooth to use wifi before...
However: PROBLEM IS NOW FIXED!!
Here's how I did it:
First, bluetooth was off.
Tried to upload a video shot on the phone to youtube. Got message along the lines of 'will only upload video over wifi'
Next message pops up: 'waiting for wifi'
THEN message box saying' signal strength excellent' & asking for my wifi password!
I've been without wifi for 2 weeks, this is brilliant. Give it a go, try uploading a video to youtube.
I reckon it overwrites the bad line, but who knows. Maybe its a bluetooth thing. I don't care, it worked for me.
Spread the news!

how would I go about updating, when 2.2 is official, without kies or rooting? I've lost patience with kies!
This was mentioned on another topic already but here it is again:
Heimdall, Odin, Rom Manager Clockwork just to name a few, there are many other ways to go about this even without Kies

ok after i got on 2.3.4 i have several network problems.
1) i have an internet connection and when i open the market it says no internet conncetion "retry". When i reboot everything is ok. I can connect to market.
2) when i sign into Facebook for the Launcher pro widget i cant it says no internet connection. Reboot doesnt fixes it.
3) i cant sign in to Last.fm too. Again no internet connection. Reboot doesnt fix it.
4) also when i sync my contacts with facebook it has only like 10 people with downloaded pictures i sync like 20 times and nothing happens..
And i am absolutely sure that i have connection because in everyone of these cases i open the browser and i can connect to websites.
Can somebody please help me Is there a way that these programs are blocked to the internet and i have to unblock them manually ?
I agree. Since going to JVQ via kies I have found networking is no where near as good. I have to close FB and relaunch it to get the network to work. Word's with Friends quite often can't find the network. I get more missed calls than I used to. And regularly get errors in the browser. I's seriously considering going back to 2.2.1.
yeah me too or going to 2.3.5 ? i mean if there arent these bugs.. Or is there any fix for this ?

No idea, as I said, look in the modern thread and see if you can get advice in good modems for your area and flash some different modems and see if that improved things, I know nothing about darkys other than it seems to break a lot of phones!
Insanity cm033/platypus neo9 redux 5
just some info if somebody had the same problem like me
i was using JVQ and what i did is flash a JVR everything got fixed
And by other reasons i had to flash JVQ again so it had the same problem for me, but its working fine now with JVR
Before everyone starts pointing me to the router - its not the router. I was able to connect to my router both at home and at work, but because I was having some other issues, I had to do a factory reset.
Now, I cannot connect to the wifi. I keep getting the message "Obtaining IP address ..." and nothing changes. I have searched high and low for a solution for this problem but I cant seem to get anywhere.
I am running Froyo stock, but before I did a factory reset, I rooted my phone with the SuperOneClick application. Now, I still have the Super User app after factory reset.
So - to reiterate - I have run the factory reset and I am currently have Froyo on my Captivate. However, once I did that, I am no longer able to connect to the internet.
Can anyone please help me figure out how I can get help connecting to Wifi again? It would be very much appreciated.

Well yes, but the problem is - it happens at EVERY wifi location and I cant feasibly go around asking everyone to reboot their router.
And another bit of information is - if I assign a static IP, my phone shows that it is connected but I cant navigate anywhere on the browser and the Market says that there is no connection.
Hopefully then that thread will help...

The dhcpcd change didnt help ... is there anything else you can suggest for me?
Try a new ROM?
Last night, I found my TouchPad sitting under a pile of papers in my office after a few months of wondering where it was and charged it on the dock. Before this long gap of not using it, it had been working perfectly fine - internet browsing, apps, etc... and the internet definitely worked.
After turning it on, it will connect to my WiFi network without a problem, but when I go to open up a web browser page, it says: "Error: No Internet connection." I also can't get it to load stories in the USA Today app and it won't check email in the email app.
I tried enabling/disabling Airplane Mode and then reset the WiFi settings (gave it a new IP address under the WiFi Preferences menu, like this HP forum post says to do), but it still doesn't want to let me go to websites or anything.
Any ideas on how to fix this?

As you say that you haven't used it for a while I'm wondering if you updated the root certificate.
If you didn't here are instructions on how to :

It won't even let me go into the App Catalog to download the update, actually. When I try to, it says: "You must connect to a network to use this application." After I click "Retry," there is a brief moment where it flashes a screen asking me what country I'm in before it goes right back to the screen telling me to connect to a network.
I don't think this is an issue with my router, since all of my family's phones (a Galaxy Nexus, a Galaxy S3, and two iPhones), two laptops, and a Kindle are all using the network with no problems at all. It seems to me like it must be an internal problem with the way my Touchpad is interacting with the network.
Thanks for the suggestion though! That could be another issue I'll have to fix too (since I don't remember downloading an update to fix that problem, which I hadn't heard about before, though I think I've probably used my Touchpad at some point since July 2013).
