On my phone do I can't see if you have a signature. It would help to tell us which rom you have installed, like JH7. That would make it easier too troubleshoot.

official att JH7, nothing rooted or modded in any way
I get this exact same problem. The Wifi on my phone sometimes works, sometimes does not (although it says it is connected). I too have had to reboot my phone just to get it working again...even then after it stops working after 30-ish min.
I also am also having other issues after the official update as well.
1) cannot add a gmail account for syncing on my phone.
2) cannot connect to AT&T server when trying to find an update.
I went to AT&T for the three issues that I am having and they were unable to find a fix, we even tried changing SIM cards.
Sounds like you have a corrupt file somewhere. You could always get the Odin3 one click here, do a master clear (same as factory reset), flash back to stock, download Mini Kies EXE File here to get back to the JH7 build. [HOWTO] Update to JH7 using Kies Mini (USA) just in case.
Just make sure you read the Odin steps, if you haven't done before.
Hope that helps.

The wifi always shows connected but fail to use the internet. Every time I reboot the cell phone, the wifi will work again. What is causing this problem and how to fix it.
greybunny are you rooted? If so I might know of something you could try to resolve your wifi issues.
I have the same issue - it seems to happen once or twice a week. I'm rooted on JH7.

That happens to me, too. If wifi disconnects. The internet wont work. I had to go in flight mode then reconnect and internet works again. Smh.....

No, it's a brand new phone.
I got 2 phones from Amazon, both phones had the same problem, one of it keeps shutting down itself, so I called amazon and they sent me a replacement. But all of the 3 phones I got so fat had this issue. And rebooting always solved the problem. Is there a software update from Samsung?
greybunny, if the phone is new then I must ask. Is the issue only on your home wireless? I ask b/c I have had this issue on my phone, I finally logged into my router to find that the IP the phone had was the same as the IP of my pc. So either the router was not assigning a new ip to the phone or it was trying to and the phone didn't want to give it up. I reflashed the firmware on my Router and have not had the issues since.....(knock on wood)
I had a friend who was having issues with her phone not even attempting to scan for wireless, seems there is an issue on android phones that the networking cache file or whatever it is gets cluttered and needs to be renamed. (Android recreates it)
The process is rather simple, I walked my friend through the steps over the phone w/o issues.
I had her use oneclick root/unroot to root her phone.
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=739304
Then Had her go through these steps to rename the file.
http://androidforums.com/samsung-moment/46179-unable-scan-networks.html
The steps are for a samsung moment but still work. Also noted that the steps w/o rooting do not work. After you finish renaming the file you can use the application in the first link to unroot the phone and go back to stock
Edit: I would recommend going the router firmware upgrade path first then if still an issue look into renaming the file on the phone.
I may have bragged too soon on good ol' official Froyo. I had a smooth install and the only problem I've noticed is the messed up Quick Office deal like most others. Today I just had another problem start.
I've been using my secured home wifi network fine, but for some reason the Captivate will no longer connect to it. I've tried doing a battery pull, turning the phone off and back on, and even completely removing the home network from the list and then putting it back in. I'm sure the password is correct. It just sits there, saying "Obtaining IP address". It retries several attempts, and eventually gives up and lists my home network in the list as "Disabled"
This is significant suckage!

I had similar problem try unplugging router and plugging back in
Bless your heart! That did it! I just read on the AT&T forums that someone else had the exact same problem and he did a factory reset of his phone which fixed it. I was hoping I wouldn't have to go there
I found an easy solution to the problem. Open Allshare, then you should be good to go.
After opening Allshare, hit connect.
Yes sometimes power cycling the router is all that is needed. I notice this with laptop sometimes too.

Yeah that was me...
I tried everything else before the factory reset, but the reset fixed it, now I've got wi-fi with no problems
If you do a factory reset, I realize you have to reinstall all your apps, but what about the ones I paid for? Will I have to purchase those again? I'm thinking of doing one just because I think it will smooth things out and get rid of a couple of weird quirks like the Quick Office icon problem.

anything you purchase with your google account is tied to your google account. you dont have to re-buy those...for any phone that you log into your google account.
Has anyone tried my fix? Sure beats having tofactory reset...I'm just sayin.

It works, but you have to do it every time, so it's more of a workaround than a fix.
I had an issue with connecting to one of my work wifi routers (would just sit there saying 'obtaining IP address' but never would connect) and could not fix it until I tried using "FXR WiFi Fix and rescue" app from the market. Free app, will erase ALL of your saved WiFi data so make sure you have your passwords for encrypted networks, but this fixed it with one click and a reboot. Seems to connect faster to the networks now as well. I had a similar problem after the previous update that went out OTA and had to reset the phone for that one.
I thought about trying this app, as my wifi issue returned today. I thought I had gotten rid of it by doing the factory reset, but alas it's back. I'm really contemplating a custom ROM more and more every day. I just don't know which one to go with that will provide everything I need. This app sure asks for a lot of permissions, so I'm sort of leary about istalling it.
Welp, I bit the bullet and tried the FXR app. No dice for me. I'm waiting for the wife to get done surfing so I can try a router power cycle. If that doesn't work, I'm looking at my second factory reset in less than a week. Froyo, you suck! I never had wifi issues until I upgraded to 2.2. What I can't understand is, why some of my issues are better, yet some are worse. Is it that difficult for these idiots to figure it out?
Just going to throw something out there, that I noticed yesterday. I'm on a custom ROM, but I noticed some pretty flaky results to my wifi, but only when I was using the modified TouchWiz launcher. The wifi had trouble connecting, and wouldn't sleep. The notification dropdown widget wouldn't control it. Then I switched to Go Launcher EX, and the behavior stopped.
Check another launcher, and see if that makes a difference. Sure, it's a longshot, but I'll be interested to see if the stock TW has the same issue as the modded version.
I was having the same wifi problem after updating firmware to official 2.2 kb1. I used fxr and now wifi connection works great.

Seems to have worked great for me. Thank you for the app find!
Hello! I had the same problem wifi and use the "FXR WiFi fix and rescue" program stopped deleting profiles anyone have a solution?
Has anyone else experienced this? The update downloaded and installed just fine. All apps seem to run fine, just cannot connect to my wifi network. In fact it doesn't seem to even see any networks.
I did not have my device activated for a Verizon Data Plan, and when I try and go through the "Activate Device" process that fails as well.
Thanks

Which update did you apply, was it an OTA update or one you found someplace else either on XDA or grabbed from the web?
As far as I know the only working update for a 3g Xoom is going out OTA to testers, and no one has grabbed a link for the zip install, so what did you install?

I installed the OTA using the trick to stop Google Framework Services and force the update check.
Before I have you go and do a whole bunch of crazy stuff, let me ask the simple question...have you rebooted your tablet and tried WiFi again?
Also, just so I understand the exact problem, is it that WiFi won't turn on, or is it that it does turn on but just doesn't find any WiFi networks?
Seems okay here. Unrooted and relocked and manually applied updates one by one.

It's that it doesn't find any networks.
EDIT: works now, for some reason after the update wifi was set to 5GHz only and couldn't find any networks. Setting it to Auto resolves the issue. Strangely also the Verizon 3g works now as well.
Thanks for the responses.
wifi not working after Jelly Bean update
My Xoom tablet (Wi-Fi only) just got an OTA update to Jelly Bean.
The Wi-Fi network has stopped working. The network is found and shows as "saved". If I tell the tablet to forget the connection, it will re-save it but it will not process the "connect" command. I am trying to connect to an open hotel network while on business travel. I was connected to this network during the upgrade but now I can't reconnect. I've rebooted and it doesn't do anything different.
Also, when the tablet boots, it still displays the ICS splash screens but after it boots, it has all the new Jelly Bean features.
I am currently unable to use the tablet at all for networking since it does not have any cellular capability.
What now????
=========
UPDATE: After sitting with Wi-Fi turned off and sleeping for about 20 minutes, the Wi-Fi now is working. I didn't touch anything. Previously, it wouldn't load the network and I rebooted it at least 4 times. Weird. but now it's working so I'm happy...
Hey guys,
Yesterday I was playing around with some Launchers. While doing so, I noticed my signal disappeared and my phone couldn't find a signal. This is pretty normal in my room, as I have a bad signal here. But later on I found I never recovered my signal, and when I tried to search for a network I got the error, "Please insert SIM to use Network functions."
So I was like, "crap I broke my phone!" It's been a whole day and I still can't get a signal -- or rather my phone still can't detect the sim. I tried using the sim in another phone (Samsung I780) and it worked perfectly. I then tried another SIM in the Tab and it couldn't find it either. So I conclude the issue is with the Tab.
Now the question is: is it a hardware problem or a software problem?
I tried a Factory Reset but no dice, same problem.
I'm on stock ICS (Austria ROM) with Root, flashed via Odin, added Google Now with the fix here in this forum. It's a P6200 16GB with 3G of course.
Could this be a software problem? I doubt it's hardware as the Tab is pretty new, only about 6 months, and I don't change SIMs at all. There's no chance that the sim slot got worn, but you never know.
I'm thinking it's the fooling around I did with the ROMs. In particular it might have been Go Launcher EX wtih all those stupid plugins like the one that lets you turn off system processes. I uninstalled all the Launchers I tried but somewhere in the middle of doing so the signal disappeared and this is when I assume some kind of driver for the sim slot got nixed.
Another thing I noticed is that my PC or my laptop can't detect the phone anymore when I plug it in. This only happened today as well after playing with the launchers. So I'm thinking it's not just the sim slot.
I'm going to try a reflash of my ROM again via Odin, but while I'm downloading a ROM I'd like to get your opinions on the matter, is it really a software issue or is the hardware broken?
Man, when it rains, it pours. Had a bevy of issues this week, including both of my internet connections going down explicitly, so I have no broadband. I am typing via my phone's sim, which I had to pop in to a USB dongle.
Anyhow, here's what I've gathered:
My phone's baseband is corrupted. I have a "Baseband Version: Unknown" thing going on in my Tablet. That's probably the source of my woes.
But my other problem is that I can't connect via USB to my PC no matter what I do. Does the baseband also affect that? I can't even update via Odin. I'm trying to figure out a way to update this either by WiFi or by MicroSD. Is there a modem.bin file that we can flash via CWM or 3e or some other updater in Power + VolUp mode?
If I can't find one, I'll try going to my aunt's house to use her internet connection via WiFi, might be able to solve everything through KIES.
Hello.
Yesterday I decided to try out ICS and then upgrading to JB... I flashed the roms correctly but the wifi wasn't working at all so I went back to stock and the wifi wasn't working either! The weird thing is that I'm connected to the wifi and it says connected but I don't have internet connection and my laptop does has internet connection so I don't know what it is...3g is working well but my wifi is not. Also the text messages arent working well. For example I send a message at 7:10 am and when someone answers I get the message at 9:11 but it's actually 7:11 am so they go on top of the message I just sent instead of going down like it's supposed in a conversation.
Thanks in advance.
