Does anyone else have problems getting their D3 to connect to a wifi network secured with wpa/ wpa2 psk? Mine absolutely refuses to, I've never gotten past obtaining an IP address, which is odd because my asus transformer and my laptop have no problem connecting. Any help would be greatly appreciated.
bump... please someone help lol
No issues here.
Don't mean to state the obvious, but are you sure you have the correct password/phrase? Try deleting the connection on one of your other devices and then re-establish it to make sure you have it right. Also, which the password/phrase entry box on the D3 as you put each character in to make sure it's going in correctly.

Hi there,
The XT860 version connects to WPA/WPA2 PSK no problem at all and has been generally supported in linux-based systems for quite some time. I imagine if this is your problem, it's related to a network setting more so than your phone.
1) Check the SSID -- they are case sensitive
2) Check if there's a MAC ID filter, if so, you need to add your phone
3) Make sure DHCP is enabled on your router (should be by default)
4) Make sure your passcode is set properly, again case sensitive.
If your problem is with WPA2 Enterprise, that's a different issue and I can explain to you how to fix that.
Cheers,
Justin
I appreciate the responses.
1. SSID is correct.
2. No Mac ID filter.
3. DHCP is enabled.
4. Passcode is set properly.
Still wont connect for some reason with this type of security. Im pretty certain that it connected when it was unsecured btw and when I set a WEP, but for some reason it wont connect with WPA.
Any other ideas/ advice would be appreciated. Thanks Again.
Here's a much more thorough guide:
http://searchnetworking.techtarget.com.au/articles/41635-How-to-fix-Android-Wi-Fi-problems
One thing not in the guide is also the ensure the encryption type matches up -- there are both TKIP and AES; make sure the Router is set to AES (it's a superior encryption method, and I can confirm that it works).
I can confirm that WPA2 works on the Droid 3, XT860 and I'll assume it works in general since there are very few posts on a Google search. If this were a phone issue, it would be a widely cited concern given the prevalence of WPA networks.
Might just be a problem with the wifi chip in your D3. I use a DGL-4500 router and my D3 connects to it just fine, using WPA2 AES. If you get the same issues with other routers I would take the phone in for a replacement.
I noticed on my netgear router that the mode was set to 300mbps for n wireless. Dropped it down to 180 or whatever the next lowest srtting was and a)solved the same problem and b)no longer drops the wifi broadcast.
Huzzah!

its not the wifi chip because it connects to other networks, tomorrow morning im gunna try changing the security type tomorrow and see what happens... this is really weird because my asus transformer connects just fine, any other advice would be greatly appreciated.
Ok, so i tried changing the settings to wep, couldnt connect... I turned security off, and it connects just fine... this leads me to believe its gotta be something with the encryption method. anyone have any ideas? Any advice would be appreciated.

So I got my Chromecast from Amazon, got it hooked up and tried several times to set it up via Chrome on an iPad. It can see my AP but it gets stuck on the "Connecting to...." screen, and then eventually goes back to the code entry display screen without completing.
So I tried the Win7 app, same problem. I have a dual-band Netgear WNDR3700v2, no issues with it ever. AP isolation is off, tried with NAT off and on, etc.
Then I tried with my phone hotspot, same issue. Can see, but gets stuck on 'Connecting to .....' screen and then goes back to code entry display.
If I'm having the same issue with 2 different hotspots, should I just get a replacement, or am I missing something? I'm thinking replacement at this point.

im having a similar issue with my phones hotspot. even if it does randomly connect, it acts as though it doesnt.
Same router, same problem.
no problems connecting to a router (RT-N16, Tomato firmware)
no problems connecting to phone hotspot (Oppo Find 5, CM10.1)

It is working fine now. Not sure what was the problem, but I'd say that it could be related to the USB power. I am now using the external adapter.
What encryption are you guys using? I had to manually enter SSID and encryption type before I can get it to connect. My router uses WPA2/AES.
WNDR3700v2 here as well. Not sure if that's the common link, but Chromecast won't connect either. Tried several tablets/phones, many resets and changed every router setting I could find.
I can go through the setup process then the Chromecast hangs at the "Connecting to [AP name]" message. If I use another mobile device, I can see that about 50% of the time the Chromecast is actually available and functional. It works for a couple minutes then loses connection. At this point, it must be factory reset to become functional again. I must start the setup again. I think my problem is that I can't 'officially' complete the setup process.
I have tried disabling the 5 GHz band, disabling security, used the power brick, etc. I've used various TVs too, including one right next to the router.
EDIT: Finally! After a billion attempts, it successfully completed the setup process. I used the web setup (no app) with broadcast SSID enabled. I literally tried this exact setup 10x, but it worked this one time.

I've tried everything I can.
I have a dlink DGL-4500 with a DAP-1360 plugged into it in AP mode. I was able to connect it on the main router but it lost connection and I had to hard reset it. It will not connect over the AP at all. The dlink comes with a setting called wlan partition. That is disabled. I have no setting for ap isolation.
Ok, solved this one for my issue but it's router specific.
If you have a Netgear WNDR3700v2, there was a firmware upgrade 1.0.0.32 that broke wireless isolation, such that it was always enabled even if you turned isolation off in the router settings.
Unfortunately .32 also broke upgrades for me, so I had to manually reset and apply the 1.0.0.36 firmware (latest version) using this procedure: http://forum1.netgear.com/showpost.php?p=446539&postcount=39
If you read the release notes for .36 you'll see they fixed a bug relating to wireless isolation. I can confirm that fixed it for me. Again, this is specific to this particular make/model router, if yours doesn't work after turning off wireless isolation it's due to some other issue.

Interesting. I'm running the .32 firmware too and I saw the release note concerning isolation. I'll check out the steps to manually update the firmware and give it a shot.
I was able to get the Chromecast setup, but my mobile devices can only interact with it intermittently. The wireless isolation bug would be a logical culprit.

Chromecast connects, but Win 8 Chromecast app doesn't see device
I have already connected my chromecast to my home network (Linksys E2000). Problem I am having is that I had to use my Nexus 7 or my phone to see the wifi network. Once I fire up the Chromecast app through Windows 8, it says "Wifi needs to be turned on for the Chromecast App to work." Well, my computer is connected to the network as well as the chromecast to the same router. Why doesn't it see the app?
Can anyone help me with this?

UPDATE: I figured out the problem. I guess it doesn't recognize devices plugged in through ethernet, the chromecast can only be seen by wireless dongles on the same router.
I can confirm for certain, chromecast will definitely not work with the dlink dap-1360 even on my network. I unplugged the AP and my chromecast connected the very second the dap-1360 was unplugged.

D'LINK DAP-1522 AP issues
I have a D'Link DAP-1522 setup as an AP configured to WPA2-AES. When I try to connect the Chromecast it fails to connect to my network. However if I turn off all security it connects just fine. Any ideas?
Update: I was able to connect to the Chromecast by creating a Guest Zone with the following settings:
Security Mode: WPA Personal
WPA Mode: WPA Only
Cipher Type: AES
Disabled Guest Zones Client Isolation
Enabled Routing between Zones
Don't think I like this as a permanent solution but it is a work around.
Asus rt-ac87u
I just needed to disable manual DHCP Assignment. Router ASUS RT-AC87U
I bought one last night, went into one of the guest bedrooms to play around with it, in about 15 minutes got it going.
it works beautifully with the nexus 5,
the work was with debian casting the whole desktop to play native files (videos, music, etc) I had the drop my firewall rules to allow uPnP incoming connections from the chromecast, which my firewall frontend was blocking because of my ruleset, so after disabling, *BAM* -
https://plus.google.com/100566062990321750433/posts/8YrRkYFMHk1
other than that, chrome tab casting on Linux works nicely for things like youtube ..
I had issues being stuck to the connecting screen whenever i switch to a different network since i use the same device to a different house - which btw i still find trivial up until this day that the chromecast is unable to save multiple network ssid/password.
Anyway, clearing the app data or reinstalling the chromecast app from my phone helps resolve the problem. Maybe you can put it from your list of diagnostic tests.
Hi guys,
I was extremely happy with my shiny new Moto X (2nd Gen) (UK), which arrived on Monday, however I am since less pleased as I cannot connect to my office WiFi!
All other WiFi's are fine, but for whatever reason I CANNOT seem to connect to my office WiFi.
I have tried every single setting and the only conclusion I can rationalise is that it's because the SSID is hidden and the Moto X (at least my one) has a problem with this. I've tried restarting the phone, factory restored the phone, asked sysadmin to reset the router, tried changing WiFI Direct name, turned on "WiFI Optimisation" etc.
Nothing works. It just says "Saved, secured with WPA2". Every other device in the office works fine.
There is no MAC filtering and plenty of DHCP licenses available.
What kinda odf crap phone can't handle hidden SSID's? Also, Motorola support is a pile of crap! Been waiting to speak to one of them for 1 hour.
Anyone have any ideas?
Thanks,
TD
I'm connected to my office WiFi with hidden ssid...
So why can't I?!?
Apparently someone told me that hidden SSID's is a violation of the Wi-Fi protocol and hence is not supported in Android/Motorola devices. Guessing that's the reason why apps like: https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=jp.sourceforge.soopy.hidden.ssid.enabler&hl=en_GB exist..?
On the other hand, it seems like bullcrap if you and other can connect to hidden networks just fine?
No one know or have any advice on this issue?
Thanks,
Z
I don't now where you're problem is coming from but I swear I'm connected each work day on a Wi-Fi network with hidden SSID. But : when I have configured it for the first time my moto x was telling me that WiFi network was not reachable. Just waiting 5 minutes and voila, moto x was connected. It was exactly same situation with a nexus 5 on same WiFi network.
---------- Post added at 12:06 PM ---------- Previous post was at 12:05 PM ----------
So configure it, and then wait 5 minutes and see if it is now connected. Put your WiFi in always on mode even when idle.
Mine just says "Saved Secured with WPA/WPA2".
Just won't connect!!
Go to wifi settings scroll down and hit
ADD NETWORK
Next enter the ssid exactly it is case sensitive.
Next enter password.
If it doesn't connect then your works wifi may have Mac address filtering on.
In that case you have to have the I. T. guy manually allow you in.
Hope that helps
Nd8 deodexed Rooted and modded
As mentioned there is no Mac filtering and thus isn't a dhcp capacity issue. Everything is fine. All other devices including other 4.4.4 devices are connecting without issue.
Any other ideas..
Is it 2.4 or 5 GHz WiFi? Have you enabled both?
Not sure what band, but doubt that's the issue as works on both bands at home.
Using a great tool called "WiFi Connection Manager" from the Play Store, you can see the following network settings:
Interesting to see what the alert says when clicking into it:
Any ideas? Thinking it could be a Cisco hardware related issue!
Z
Interesting... Using google I can found a lot of people that have same problem as you. But... Hidden ssid is only for bad admins that still think this will protect them
Yeah but it's no excuse for Android and/or Motorola to not play nice with hidden SSIDs. This in my opinion is VERY poor.
It's not moto but android. But since 802.11 have never been designed to work with hidden ssid I don't know if we can complain about android. But I'm not an expert on this subject, so maybe and hopefully someone can explain us in a more detailed manner.
That would make sense if I hadn't been able to use other Android 4.4.x devices and versions to successfully connect to the same network..
I missed that point... You're right if other android devices are able to connect to the same network then it is probably a moto problem... But mine is working good with hidden ssid but the router is not a Cisco one. I suggest to contact moto support by chat ( not by phone ), you should have an answer.
Cisco router? Make sure it is on the latest firmware. There appears to be an issue with older Cisco firmware and the X, independent of broadcasting of SSID.

Hello,
I want to show a dashboard on the tv in my company. The app is ready and it works fine ( checked it at home) but through the network policies in the company it is not possible to give the chromecast internet access. Is there a work around for the App id check ? The webserver is installed locally . The Cast should only show a website form the server.
Maybe it would be great if there is a solution without rooting it, but with a good guide it would also be possible.
Is there a way to manipulate the Google DNS ?
Greets,
Sissie
I have not seen a work around. I have seen this same question posted several times. I travel alot for work and when I'm in the hotels, I use my phone as a Hotspot to get my Chromecast to work. That is an option.
Note 4 using Taptalk
Thats one point but is their a way to switch the call of the chromecast to his "start"screen in the router to a local "manipulated" website ?

If you have a phone with hotspot you could turn it on, connect the Chromecast to it, start up a cast and right after that, turn off your data so it doesn't eat up your data plan and you're all set. Hope this helps!

This needs Internet anyway, even if for a short time
I wonder if this can instead be done this way, with a rooted phone acting as tethered wifi hotspot:
- set CC to connect to the tethered wifi network on the rooted Phone (explained elsewhere)
- set the rooted phone to manipulate iptables (but how'? block? redirect to what?) DNS request to 8.8.8.8 and 8.8.4.4 coming from the CC
This shouldn't need internet at all.

Hi,
at first sorry for my english, it's not my main language. At second, I searched but didn't find anything here about my issue.
I set up 2 vpn connections in my P20 Pro (one to work, one to my home). Both vpn connections are working if I am connecting from mobile network connection. But the connection won't establish when trying to connect from a Wi-Fi (doesn't matter which, tried several different Wi-Fi's). The ports are open, the credentials etc. are correct and it's working from Wi-Fi on another Smartphone without problems.
I go to the vpn-menu, hit connect and 1 second later I get the message "not successful" for both connections.
Does anyone have an idea what could be the problem? Is it a known problem?
Thank you in advance

I had the same issue. VPN connection was correctly set up to an AVM Fritzbox 7490.
Always used to work with my previous phone, stopped working when I started using my new P20.
When I read your comment a few minutes ago, the VPN connection (no settings changed) all of a sudden worked when I checked.
You may want to retry and check if it works. I don't know if some firmware update fixed the problem in the meantime, but now it works on my device.

I'm using Tunnelbear VPN on my Pro, and so far no problems with using it on wifi. Maybe just restart your Pro.

I have to correct myself here.
Unfortunately it looks like after a fresh reboot the VPN connection over WIFI works. Then after a couple of hours, it fails. Whereas the VPN connection over mobile data works a few seconds after the failed WIFI attempt.
Rebooted - VPN connection over WIFI successful again.
Pretty annoying.
Oliver.
Hi,
sorry, I forgot to post here. For me it worked after turning off "WiFi-Calling" and restarting the phone. I also would like to have WiFi-Calling because of bad cell reception at work but VPN is more important for me.
To be clear, this issue only persists when using integrated android VPN functionality. I didn't try other VPN-Apps from the play-store or somewhere else because I don't use 3rd party VPN-connections.
I didn't try to enable Wifi-Calling and testing VPN after the last upgrade (last week or so). Maybe they fixed it?

Interesting; I didn't know Android now has built-in VPN; going to check it out. (Awhile ago, I decided to go with either Tunnelbear or OpenVPN because they seemed to be the only VPNs that had independent security audits done.)
