Without rooting your phone, you can't do much to fix it on your own. Call your provider and have them push an OTA fix for you.

Hi!
Same problem, but could solved.
I connected the phone to pc via usb cable, then chosen internet pass through (not sure this is the correct name in english menu because i use hungarian).
It was able to synchronize, and the icon has gone.
Before updating sw wifi was on and after that i was not able using internet, however i had lan connection.
I used static ip. After changing to dhcp the problem is gone and i can use static ip again. Perhaps it was a dns error. My phone isn't rooted too. Sorry for my poor english

From what I've read, it's a DNS error and seems to affect users with static IP settings. Here's how I "solved" the problem:
1. Connect to another WiFi access point (I use my wife's Desire S to create a WiFi Hotspot)
2. Surf the net
3. Reconnect to your original WiFi access point
Note that it will revert once you restart the phone.
Thanks guys !
@trinyo: I did the same you written above ! when I connected my phone via Internet Pass through, that synchronize icon disappeared and internet started working, after that I disconnected the cable and connected my phone via Wireless internet but had same problem "WIFI din't work" although that synchronize icon not showing now.

Hi,
This is a Sensation forum.
Look HERE
And HERE
Thanks guys !
After automatic update on my HTC sensation XE to 3.33.111.107 soft update, I lost internet connection on some routers that I used to connect. Of course, HTC was connecting to routers without problem (DHCP or Static) but no internet connection. I can even enter to router setup page and do everything in setup, but no internet. It looks like DNS problem. I even put ip addres of google i browser addres bar, but nothing. I reset router, change security settings on ruoter, restart phone, erase wifi connection in phone.. :silly:
anyway... My internet over wifi router start working after:
1. connect to other phone hot spot in same room where is problematic router (d-link DIR615)
2. surf little on internet over hot spot network
3. click on hot spot network and select on forget network
4. connect to router wifi network
Again, thanks guys :highfive: for idea to do something simple and stupid like this above to fix my problem with HTC internet connection over wifi router

Wi-fi issue

Hello there,
I experience the following problem with my Sony Xperia E SS. -When I turn on Wi-Fi it scans for connections and when I find one and type the password, it just saves it without accessing it (I have tried several routers, searched the forum and made some adjustments to the router that might have helped, but with no result). And when I turn another device into a portable Wi-Fi hotspot it connects to it properly, but there is no access to the internet. Furthermore I cannot download the internet & mms settings no matter how I try so in general I cannot access the internet.
Is there any way to fix this? (I have tried updating with pc companion and update service)
Thank you very much

Hi guys.
I am having a problem that my note10.1 2014 keeps disconnecting from wifi that doesnt have internet connection.
i know my wifi doesnt have internet connection but i want to stay connected to it without using static ip adresses like 192.168.1.128 since i am trying to share information with other android devices on other ranges.*
Is there like an app that can keep me connected to wifi without internet connection or script.
Thanks for the help

[Completed] Latest Android phones not connecting to WiFi router

At work we installed a new WiFi router a few months back. The connection is open and no one needs a password to connect to it. But many who bought android phones recently arent able to connect to it. I have a OnePlus One with android 4.4.4 which doesnt connect to the WiFi. My colleagues own Xiaomi, Motorola phones which they bought recently, which also doesnt connect to the internet.
The phones detect the WiFi signal, says the network is saved but fails to connect to it no matter what. The temporary solution is to make our laptop into a WiFi router and use it but this is seriously annoying. The router is from HP and I dont know the exam model number for it at the moment
I will be grateful if someone can find any solution for this problem. Also, I am a novice when it comes to gadgets so, if your suggestion is to manually set up my WiFi settings please do so with clear instructions or a video of some sort. However I will be happy if this problem gets solved in a straightforward manner.
Please help!

No need to configure wifi on your device IMO.
Sounds like an issue with the wifi router.
To check an fix the internet settings of the wifi router, you will need the adminstrative access/console/password for the router.
Then you can check that all new devices afre allowed to connect. On some routers you can restrict the access to a list of known devices or by enabling a MAC address filtering.
If you find such options on the HP wifi router, disable it and restart the wifi.
And make sure that the SSID of the wifi network is visible (= not hidden). Some Android devices have issue connecting to hidden networks.
Thread closed. Thank you.

[Completed] Problem with Wifi Connection, no common issue

First of all thanks in advance for your support.
I have a rooted android Tablet Szenio 785qct with Android 4.2.2, it was working very well but the battery and the wifi had problems.
I thought that the wifi problem was in relation with the battery power, but after the replacement of the battery it persists.
The problem is very strange because:
- I switch on the wifi.
- It looks for the wifi connections.
- It Connects and an IP is assigned.
- But it does not navigate in internet.
- The info of the wifi connection says that is connected at 0 Mbps. The signal is full, i am near the Access point.
- DNS is assigned ok.
- File hosts is clear. (only localhost 127.0.0.1)
- I can connect with Ethernet wire or with bluetooth to my mobile phone shared connection and it can connect to internet. But not with wifi.
After this, I have searched for this problem in any way, but I did not find anything.
I dont know if it could be a bad configuration…
I would appreciate an idea for this…
Hi !
Sometimes this happens after a software update , try to reset the wifi router
Good luck !
