Over the past few days my phone hasn't been wanting to connect to my wi-fi. I would have to turn wi-fi on and off several times before it would connect. Today it just stopped connecting all together. It now shows my network but says its "out of range" I'm withing 10 ft so I know it's not. Earlier today it would just say scanning and then disabled under the network name. Anyone know why it would not be working at all? Also I have a ps3 hooked up wireless and it works fine so I know it's not the router.

without knowing your specifics how can we help you?
are you rooted? what rom? version? kernal? recovery?
I had the same problem...got a new phone from att and still did the same. Did you try resetting your router...for some reason my captivate is sensitive to my router and even though everything else wireless in the house works fine the phone says wifi disconnected....hopefully resetting your router does it

Try changing the channel.on your router to channel 11 and then setting a static ip address on your phone.
I am assuming you are using a standard home user router such as a linksys or netgear and that you are using a captivate, so I doubt you are having issues due.to encryption or using the wrong type.wireless.

Hi Guys
I have been using my Note for around 3 months and today it has just stopped working on WiFi at home - all ok at work just gets stuck at obtaining IP address. Nothing has been changed on the phone or the BT Home hub no updates it just wont connect
Any ideas???
Many thanks

have you tried rebooting your router?
Hi,
Have rebooted router and still no good. Yesterday my Note connected to WiFi at work No probs. Got home and it got stuck on obtaining IP. Today get to work and my Note will Not connect to work WiFi now either Same prob stuck at obtaining IP have restarted the work router also still no help. Network Key is correct or it would not get to obtaining IP any ideas on whats the problem?
Had a look round seems to be a problem on the Galaxy SII also. Just for info I have not added any new apps for days.. must be the phone buy why?
Any ideas?
Thanks

Lets try this:
Check whether your laptop can get an IP from your wifi.
I. YES
- Turn on wifi on your note.
- Go to Applications -> Settings -> Wifi settings.
- Look down at Wifi network.
- Touch into the name of your wifi then choose "Forget network".
- Turn off wifi on your note.
- Turn it on again.
- Enter the key and see what's happen.
II. NO
- Check your router configuration.
If you hav have enabled mac protection on router, reset it.

Hi,
Laptops x3 and other peoples phones can get onto WiFi ok, both at work and at home, my Note Will connect ok to the BTFON / BTOpenzone (off of the same routers) with no problems again both at work and at home. We have changed nothing with the routers (BTHome hub 2 and BTBusiness hub at work).
Can you advise what to check with the router as all seems to be in order for all other WiFi devices, it's just my Note that is having a fit and wont connect?
Many Thanks

Hi, Re mac protection, the routers auto set up and I am unaware how to check re mac protection. I cant understand why has my Note decided to stop connecting out of the blue?
I have similar issues.
I have setup a WIFI hotspot and all my non-Android devices can login without any issues (Notebooks x2, iphone3, iphone4, ipad), however my Note and my Blade (all running 2.3.6) and an Acer A500 Tablet (running Android 3.1) cannot connect.
The android devices see the hotspot and will attempt to get an IP, but most of the time will not succeed.
Any suggestions?
I'm having the same problem with the "stuck at obtaning IP address" problem.
Just got my Note 2 weeks ago and am still not able to connect to the internet using wifi.
I can't connect to my home wifi nor starbucks nor any other public wifi. When i use static address, i was able to connect to my home wifi BUT could not use the internet. I really do not know what to do...PLEASE HELP!!!
I too have experienced this. Running stock 2.3.6 + root. happened with lots of different routers. Usually solved with power cycling router & note wifi. Very annoying.
I think (personally), it has nothing to do with the Note at all, BUT on most samsung smartphones...
I read somewhere that Sammy's phones have a weak side in detecting and connecting to any wifi device...
I personally tested this also with my Note, side by side with my friend's Nokia, a Blackberry and a Galaxy Nexus as well.. both Samsung phones stucked at "Obtaining IP address..." for some time, while the two phones (Nokia and the blackberry) connected thru wifi with ease... no problems at all..
I have same problem periodically at my sister's house, especially when a lot of other mobile devices using the router. If you google the issue there are many with same problem.
Simplest way to solve it for me has been to unplug & then plug the router back in. Rather annoying.
I had same prob with my galaxy tab... Forgetting a network won't help..
Nor there is fault of router...
Google this problem you will find results with solutions for xda only... (did the same but don't remember the link)
Al t bst!!

I am on note2 BT homehub2and having identical issues. Did you get a fix?
OK, I know some people are gonna think I'm absolutely nuts (and who knows, maybe I am ), but my wi-fi was working just fine last night. No issues, connection problems, no nothing. Then I went to bed.
When I woke up this morning, I turned on my Note but began having major wi-fi issues. Whenever I try to connect via wi-fi, I keep getting the message "Obtaining IP address...", yet my Note never obtains one. I've been fiddling around all day so I can get on the Net, but to no avail.
Does anyone have any idea what's going on here? I'm running stock ROM and made zero changes to my Note & router. Everything is exactly the same prior to when I went to bed last night.
Has anything similar happened to anyone else??
Thanks in advance, guys.
even i faced the same issue whole of yesterday...i thought it was some problem with the rom and changed back to the stock rom..but of no use...but today morning its working fine...seems wierd
its again stuck up in loop....connected..obtaing ip address..connecting
Ive seen this happen with a few different samsung phones and usally resetting the router will fix the problem dont know y

i have the same problem
wifi suxks
I had this issue, it would reboot TWlauncher, then work again.
Happens all the time. Use static IP as a temporary fix, it won't lose IP addresss again.
I have the same issue's, it seems to be an Android issue my previous Gnex had the same and i thought the wifi chip was broken or something.
After using the Note for 2 weeks on a random day i didnt have wifi and it had the same symptoms it could not find an ip adress. Now i simply use 3g at home.
I think it has something to do with either the wifi password encryption (wep, wpa, wpa2 etc) i have wep. Or the ip adress that is dynamic and not static.
Whats your wifi encryption?

Tried this already. I can connect, but now the wi-fi connection gets dropped for some unexplained reason every 5-10 mins or so, and I continually have to reconnect, which is extremely annoying. And that's not the only thing. Whenever I'm connected and using data, my laptop somehow loses its connection. And I know that my Note is the culprit because as soon as I disconnect it, my laptop immediately reconnects. Weird.
What makes this so frustrating is that I can't pinpoint the source of the problem. Literally everything on my phone and my laptop are exactly the same as before. I could understand if I was running a new ROM or installed a bunch of new apps/software on my devices, but that just isn't the case here.
I also tried resetting my router, but that's just a temporary fix (at least in my case). I've already had to reset it 3 times in the past 24 hours, and I don't look forward to the prospect of having to do this on a regular basis. Heck, I shouldn't have to!
Anyone know why Android (or the Note) does this? I still love my Note, but this wi-fi issue is fast becoming a nuisance.
Maybe your laptop and the Gnote are trying to obtain the same static IP from the router? (Check to see you ain't asking for the same IP!).
What does the router think is connected when you have both Gnote and laptop on?
Also, if that fails try the following.
1. Change Wifi channel
2. Remove the wpa+wpa2 option and just stick with wpa or wpa2 only.
3. Use a different subnet e.g 192.168.0.x to 192.168.1.x
4. Check the DHCP lease time is short enough (say 10 hrs).
5. Check you are allowing enough connections to be given DHCP IP's
Let me know how it works out.
I tried resetting my router but did not help, since my first post in this thread i flashed imilka's aosp v07 rom and now i'm back on wifi very weird.
My previous rom whas the chinese ics repack (no wifi at home) and the one before whas stock LA6 after a week use the wifi dropped out on that rom.
I still have a less secure wep encryption, but happy for now with the imilka rom.

a simple solution is to add your phones mac address to router whitelist. ..
I have same issue here. Whenever i turn-on my wifi, it scans public wifi even-though i have my own wifi with me. When im in public places and there's this public wifi, i cant connect. rather searching for another public wifi or and error message occur obtaining IP address.
my temporary solution is to disconnect from the connected address and reconnect the device again. Basically it helps
I swear, this wi-fi business is driving me nuts. Presently I can connect using a static IP, but even though I do connect and the icon shows a strong signal, I now have a new problem...I can't use the freakin internet!! I keep getting the message that I have 'No connection'.
Any solution to this? I have similar issue on my Note2 and Wifi works only on Stock Rom.

Not a router issue...
This is not a router issue, it is due to the wifi modem in you phone being messed up, have you tried flashing a mmodem fix for your phone? alternatively it could be due to file permissions.

First, you resurected a year old thread.
Second, you claim flashing a modem.img or baseband will fix wifi. Baseband AS NOTHING to do with wifi, the wifi firmware is (unless i'm mistaken) in /system/etc/wifi.
The problems op describes are hardware fault...
True.. Its drivers are in the kernel. Thus modem has nothing to do with it.
I just got an Sony Xperia T,
now I was trying to connect is to my router with the 5ghz-band, but the Xperia T can't find the network,
so then manually added the network, inserterd password, but then it says that the network isn't within reach,
but i'm sitting next to the router, the 2.4ghz-band works fine, and sony confirms that the phone should work with
the 5ghz-band in the white paper of the phone. Does anyone know how to solve this problem?
BTW, my router is a Netgear WNDR3700 Dual Band.

On your router have you set it to dual band as a lot of the time they have it defaulted to 2.4 b/g so you'd need to change it to auto or whatever option allows all. On my Linksys it says 2.4 and 5 as an option in the dropdown. That would be the only reason I can think of. Have you tried with any other device to connect to your 5ghz network?
Likely a router compatibility issue. I can connect to a Linksys e4200 on 5ghz with no problems

My Xperia T refuses to connect to my WiFi AP. It's only 2.4GHz, but according to the logs on the AP, it isn't even trying. On the phone side I very briefly see "Connecting" or similar on the AP list, then it reverts to Saved.
Log on phone is filled with entries like this:

This happened on the stock Vodafone ROM, and still occurs on the Generic UK posted in General. I have tried WPA and WPA2, TKIP and AES, different channels, disabling N etc etc, still the same
Tried soft/hard reboots, wipes etc, nothing. It has connected to other public and protected AP's fine.
Am gutted as changing my AP to work around this problem is a no-go. Not had any problems with various other laptops and phones, including other SE/Xperia devices.

I'm on generic UK rom and using a BT Home Hub without any problems. I've also got my old dLink wireless n router I use as a print server and it works fine with that too. My brother has a Sky router (Netgear I think) and that works fine.
I think you must be unlucky.
---------- Post added at 07:11 AM ---------- Previous post was at 07:07 AM ----------
Is your SSID published? Have you tried turning off all security on the router to see if you can connect then? (obviously I'm not suggesting you leave it unsecured but it is something to try.)
Also, posting your router details may give you an idea if others have been successful with that router before you splash any cash on a new one.
Hi, my Xperia T also is not able to connect with my e4200 5 GHz WiFi. My Laptop and a Samsung Phone works without any problems... I read (sorry I don´t remember the forum link) Sony did not enable the 5 GHz frequency because of driver issues. But if it works on some phones, maybe it´s a provider specific issue like the permanent bootloader lock?
Might be worth updating the firmware of your router?

I think I found the problem, the 5ghz band of my router doesn't have much range appearently, when i'm trying to find the 5ghz band outside of my house, i can't find it, I can only find it when i'm in my room, that's where the router stands, but the 2.4 ghz band has a much better range, I can connect to is almost 20-30 meters outside of my house. I'm wondering when Netgear is coming out with an update for my router, hopefully that will solve the problem, or maybe it will be solved when the Xperia T gets an update to Jelly Bean.

Hi there,
I've just bought the Xperia T and I'm pretty disappointed I can't use my home wifi.
I'm having exactly the same problem - I can see my connection and connect (sometimes) but it is a very poor connection, then after a minute or says "Not in range". If I go outside (which is actually closer to where the modem is) I can get data at an acceptable speed.
Sorry I'm such a noob but can you explain to me where the limitation lies and how I might fix it. Every other device used in the house works - even an old iphone 3gs - I'm surprised Sony's newest phone hasn't implemented technology that must have been in use for years.
Or if it is the modem - any ideas on how to change it.
Sorry - can't give you details - the modem is locked in the landlords garage - so I can't see what make it is.
Thanks for helping a noob.
I have faced the same problem with my TX when connecting to my AP.
I think there is WIFI problem in receiving the WIFI signal of security mode WPA2/WPA.
You can change the WIFI security mode to WEP or No security.
My device can connect the WEP mode WIFI.
Hope you can solve the problem!

Hmmm, that's strange - my modem is set to WEP and it's not really a connection problem but a signal strength problem. But like I said - no other device has this issue. It is hard to test - right now I'm accessing this from a cloud connection which is average compared to another I used this morning, though much better than at home. But I don't know how close I am to the transmitter right now.
Hello again,
I'm still trying to get to the bottom of this:
So my Xperia T can connect and use the wifi in my house fine IF I am within 2-3 metres of my router, which has the following settings -
O2 Wireless Box, model - TG585v7
Software release - 8.2.7.7
Boot loader 1.0.0
Interface Type: 802.11b/g
Band: 2.4G Hz (This unfortunately cannot be changed)
It is currently set to WEP security but when I changed to WPA-2 there was still no change - could only connect when a couple of metres away.
Also even when holding my phone 10cm away from the router I still only get a "Good" connection. So I started to think it must be my phone that is faulty - I've been to coffee shops and picked up the free Cloud wifi ok, though one kept dropping in and out. And I have been into mobile phone shops testing their wifi and it connects.
But yesterday I went to Carphone Warehouse and compared to one of their demo Xperia T phones - the demo was connected to their wifi fine yet my phone could not even "see" their connection - I was sure it was my phone.
But now I'm really confused - today I went to a different Carphone warehouse - there was no demo phone but I picked up their signal and the quality was "Excellent" - something I'd never seen before.
My phone is locked to T-Mobile - can a carrier locked phone somehow restrict access to certain routers?? Seems very weird to me, though I am quite a novice at all of this.
Any help would be much appreciated.
Thanks.
locked phone won't block AP access... maybe backup your data and try master reset.. factory reset... don't need erase sd card.

Are you using the T-Mobile WiFi app? If so delete your connection from settings, then set your home WiFi via the T-Mobile app, it may be connecting to the open one not your full one.
If you don't use the app, I would change the channel on the router and try that.

Hey there,
I seem to having the same problem. After updating my HTC one to android 4.4.2 I cannot connect to my WIFI anymore. The wifi is connecting and then nothing happens anymore. Can anybody help me with this
Thank you!
1. go to your router setting>> wireless setting>> disable the password required.
2. connect to your home WiFi from your device, see if connected (hope it does)
3. go to your router setting>> wireless setting>> enable password required (WPA/2)
4. connect to your home WiFi from your device with the new password.
It works for me, hope i helped.
To fix wi-fi problem on 4.4.2 android you have to rename Wi-fi Direct device name.
To do that you have to go:
WiFi - then 3 dots - WiFi Direct - 3 dots - Rename Device - HTC One.

IT WORKS FOR ME!! I just had to register here to say thanks, but this really works for me. Was using my room wifi running WEP, after a 300+mb 4.4.2 update to my HTC One, it just kept hopping between scanning and connecting and scanning.....was frustrated with it. I tried with another router, running WEP too and going out the same internet pipeline and it worked, just not my room router.
tried manually inputting mac address at my room router but didn't work, turn off/on multiple times but nope, was wondering if router problem or phone problem.
but then i change the displayed device name from Android_524b to HTC One case sensitive and voilah, it immediately worked, pick up the nice beloved wireless signal on the notice bar, and everything back to normal.....
no hard reset, no router re programming, no tearing the whole house to reprogram every darn piece of equipment. thank you so much
(btw, my router is a super old netgear g connection 2.4ghz adsl modem router. tried the frequency band changing to 2.4ghz but had no effect earlier)
