I expirenced crashing a lot of my sprint g4 so I did a factory reset. I get into a loop at the "Set Internet Connection" screen because It can't find any internet and it will not let me skip it.
Here is what it looks like:

so for apparently no reason today my internet stopped connecting. When I go to connect it says -
Dialed: wap.cingular
it says underneath it there is no modem at the above number.
ummm.... I didn't change anything in my setting but for some reason it won't connect to the 3G network. Any ideas here or do we know whats going on?
thanks for the help.

OK check this
START/SETTING/CONNECTIONS/MANAGE EXISTING CONNECTIONS/PROXY SETTINGS
and make sure that there is not a Check in the box next to :
THIS NETWORK USES A PROXY SERVER TO CONNECT TO THE INTERNET
This should do the trick I hope.
This always happens to me.
didnt work
no dice. its still giving me the same bounce back message that theres no modem at the above number. do i need to put a proxy server in the proxy server field? by the way this is a Tilt.
What program is trying to access the internet when this happens?
The same problem is occuring for me. I tried what Vol22002 suggested, but still can't connect. I was trying to access Internet Explorer.
Me Too - Atlanta
First thing this morning I tried to access the Internet with Opera and got the "Dialed: wap.cingular Cannot connect for unknown reason. ..." error. No recent changes to phone configs or software, worked fine after midnight last night. Power cycled and checked the usual stuff, still no data connection regardless of program.
Not Me Too Anymore - Atlanta
After not working from 0700 to 1050, I 'suddenly' have a working data connection. Go figure.
You'll probably find that this happens when your network is down. This happens very occasionally here and then I call my service provider to confirm this.

I would say that is the most common reason for the problem the OP is having.
the netowrk isn't down....
My dad's phone (not a tilt) is connecting to the 3G network completely fine. I can't access the internet through any program...internet explorer, opera, google maps, livesearch, the weather tab on my today screen...nothing. I'm at a loss right now.

So Disable the Proxy.
still nothing...with or without the proxy on.
I've been having problems with my data connection and phone service dropping out for the last 2 weeks even though I have changed nothing on the phone. I see an x by data connection and exclamation point by phone. I'm using Dutty's 6.1 official release and radio 1.58.26.20. Usually I can get back service by turning on and off airport mode, and the problem is very sporadic. Usually only when I really need the phone to work! Sometimes just switching between GSM and Auto mode for 3G will provide a temporary fix. I just tried disabling the HSDPA, and we'll see if that helps in a more permanent way. I wonder if AT&T is kicking people off of its network that are using HSDPA before it is supposed to be available. I called AT&T about the issue (w/o mentioning the cooked ROMs or HSDPA and they say I should return the phone for warranty but I don't want the hassle of restoring the old ROM. Any ideas?
is everyone posting here with issues from ATL? I am and have had the same, figured its just a radio issue and have been too lazy to change radios...for those that aren't lazy, i'd try that...
nope, I'm in Oregon. I'm of the opinion that AT&T has changed something about how they run their phone and data networks (perhaps in preparation for the 2nd gen iphone and HSDPA) that is randomly kicking people off their network.

There goes the iPhone messing with Smartphones again. First changes what a Smartphone should be. NOW messing with the network. Hulk Mad!
Nope its not just AT&T im experiencing the same problem over in the UK. Now my proxy is disabled and I know I have all the correct settings but still the error message "unable to connect to the receiving modem." It seems to have no pattern for this happening con we get correlation on what ROM's & radios everyone are using to see if its that
the internet stops working on my at&t tilt. I can't go to websites or download pic messages. I can do a soft restart and it works again for a while then stops again. anyone else have this happen? kinda hoping an upgrade to wm6.1 will help but waiting for the at&t ROM.
ideas to fix this?
i sometimes have that issue. to fix it i just go to comm manger and change it to airplane mode and back to phone. then it will reconnect to the 3g network and the internet comes back. its better then doing a soft reset
Try using ClearTemp
I have the same problem when I use T-Mobile's 5.99 T-Zones plan. I usually just use cleartemp and it clears it right up.
i am having the same problem. my internet data just stop working all together. my Internet explorer, opera 8 and 9 all stop working with atnt data plan. Opera mini still work under the date network. wifi is ok. I try reseting and also reflashing new roms but still now luck. need help.
I have the same issue. I'll open IE and type in an address and it loads a white screen and says done. Haven't found a fix yet.
im using the tmobile 5.99 plan too.
i had a problem one time when the phone magically wiped out the proxy settings... so i was unable to use the web for quite a while until i figured out the proxy settings were wiped out blank.
i dunno know how that happened but it did.
Ok I have a very iritating problem.
My captivate works amazing in all ways... except one. When I'm at home connected to Wifi, within a few mins of me putting the phone down, or even mid use, the wifi will just stop working. The icon still shows it to be connected however no apps are able to actually get internet. A quick pulldown of the quick access menu and tapping wifi off and back on again gets it going great... for another 5 mins. Then the same thing happens.
Its been like this ever since I got the phone, even after flashing different roms. Now i'm running a Linksys Wireless - N router - maybe they're not playing nice?
I dont think its a hardware fault because when I serve wifi, IE the captivate is an infrastructure mode access point for 3g, it stays on consistently and my laptop can tether for 2 hours or more.
Anyone know what might be causing this?
Thanks
When you have wifi on, go to menu settings and 'Wireless and network'. In Wi-Fi settings you can change the Wi-Fi timeout.

Try goin to settings->wireless and networks-> wifi settings (menu key)advanced and set the sleeping policy to never
I've done that...
i *Think* i've fixed it. I was using WPA2 IPK encryption or whatever.. Switched back to the 64 bit crappy WEP. Wifi was on all night and all morning with no cut out.
Might be just another linksys-is-crap situation.
HI, I figured I keep my wifi woes within a singe thread so.
I have an old D Link WBS 2310 router.
I recently got a message from AT&T that I'm near my data limit. This surprised me as my last cycle I barely got near 500mb. Since my bill isn't ready yet, I can't see exactly what it is I'm doing to use so much data.
TO be safe I figured I'd pull out my old router and set it up. After hours of hassle getting it to work on my new computer, I wasn't able to get my Captivate to hook up to it.
My laptop works fine. It gets a fast wifi signal, but my phone just says "Obtaining IP address" for a while and then gives up.
My phone gets wifi at work, at friends', at coffee shops - but not at home.
I've tried this with no encryption, WEP encryption and WPA2 encryption.
Each time my laptop would hook up to the wifi but my phone wouldn't.
I searched some other forums and found similar problems with HTC phones.
Some answers say that D Link sucks. But that answer applies to other brands as well.
Do I need "n" wifi, rather than "g"?
I don't want to buy another router only to find it still doesn't work.
Any help?

part of the IEEE 802.11n standard is backward compatibility with all previous 802.11 standards IIRC, so there should be no need to buy a new n device.
HOWEVER, i am also having issues with my wi-fi and my g capable router. i will meddle around with some phone and router settings to see if i can fix this, this is one area were i can actually be of some use on this forum
Hi. It turned out the wifi was broken on my captivate. I reset it to stock and it's all better. It had been working up to the previous day so I assumed that it was still working. The router goes down intermittently in general, so I've ordered a new one to see what's up.
Hi, I'm back! So after resetting the phone and getting wifi to actually connect (rather than being stuck searching for IP address), I'm now having the exact same problem is the OP. The OP seems to have solved this by switching to WEP. I tried this and it doesn't work. My timeout is set to never. Also, it's the same at home (I replaced my router) as well as at Starbucks and a friends house.
I'm connected, but can't download or sync. It works initially and then stops, and then comes back in briefly and then stops, all the while "connected." Sometimes I can fix it temporarily by turning off wifi and then turning it back on.
SO what's the deal? Is it a hardware problem? Is there some secret magic code?
edit: Just disabled encryption - same problem.
About a week ago I did a Secure Full Erase on my 32GB HP Touchpad.
Then after finishing it rebooted and I started going through the initial setup. I select English then United States and then confirm that is my selection. I then get taken to the Wi-Fi Setup screen, in the background I can see the HP Terms & Conditions, where I select my network and type in my password. For about 1/2 a minute it sits there and states "Cannot connect to the internet through this connnection. Try another network." It then decided it will go but then I receive a Server Error which says "Please visit http://hpwebos.com/support to help resolve this problem". I have tried this multiple times many different ways. I've used other networks and even tried making mine unsecured. I've tried selecting different languages and countries. I've tried using WebOS Doctor which did the reinstall of the WebOS 3.0.4 and even tried going back to 3.0.2 but same thing.
I've been working on this now for the past 8 hours and have tried everything that I have came across out there on the net.
Anyone else have any other ideas?
Any help is welcome.
Thanks.
Well... 100 have checked out my post and yet to have any ideas.
I really just want to get it up and running so I can run Android on it.

The wifi does not seem to work with certain configurations of WPA2 on the setup screen.
Set your router to wpa TKIP (or weaker) and reduce the speed to 54 mbps. I am not sure which on of these fixes it but it does. Once you are setup you can put the router back to WPA2 and it works.
Took me a while to figure that out on my system include modem resets.
BTW I have a netgear wndr3700 as my primary router, do you happen to have the same?
That worked!!! Can not believe that is all it took was to drop the speed to 54mbps, I didnt change the security. And yes I have the exact same router.
One thing I did notice is when I switched my router back it would not connect to the system related sites like System Update and App Catalog. So what I did was use the fact that the router is a dual band to set up a second signal with the lower speeds, was not using the 5Ghz band anyway, so this way the lower speeds would not affect when I stream to my Epic Touch or my SqueezeBox.
I'm having same problem how do I fix it
Hello,
I've had my Desire C for about a year now, but have only recently added a data feature to my (prepaid) plan. Up to this point I've only been able to afford a call/text plan. Anyways, I can now connect no-problem to the WiFi in our apt. I can check my email with the gmail app that was already on the phone. But if I attempt to browse the internet it will work for a minute or two before it hits a roadblock and gives me the "Webpage not available" screen. Same thing if I attempt to download app on Google Play. It seems to get to about 10%-20% then hangs. The WiFi is connected the entire time on the phone.
I have had no issues with our WiFi, whether it be on my PC or the gf's laptop or her iPhone5. But my Desire C is a different story.
Any suggestions?
edit:
I should probably note that I took the phone to work and tried the same while on my mobile network and had the exact same problem as I did on the WiFi.
further edit: After some more playing around I have found that my internet works fine for a minute or so after booting it up from shut-down. Then it craps out again.
Are you locked or unlocked?
