Hi, I have a wifi problem on my Nexus S since i turned it off for few days. The Wifi worked before i turn it off. Right now, it always stuck in "obtaining IP address from..." and never got connected. I have done a factory reset but it still the same. I removed the batter out and turn off wifi and make a reboot. All not working. Anyone having same problem?

Not being able to obtain an IP is most likely a router issue. Check your router and make sure DHCP is still enabled and that there are spare IP's availabe.
power cycle the router and see what you get after that.
turn to fly mode, and turn back. maybe it right.

sometimes it works... sometimes it doesn't... the same router on which other devices work perfectly fine... so its not a router issue...
anyone else had issues with wifi connection on the atrix... a minute ago it was showing as connected but it wasn't working so i had to turn it off on the phone and connect again
help!
Mine did this for a while it would list wifi as connected but the phone did not have a internet connection. Changing the channel on the router to 9 as well as changing the password and resetting the router fixed the problem.

I had similar issues until I changed the WiFi Sleep Policy. Have you tried that?

Weird Probllems with With WiFi and Data
Heres whats going on... I go into the same Starbucks I frequent, the Hotspots login Fails, it state it cant determine my eligibility, call customer service.... Then I get the :No Data Connection:, and then I get the ISP Orange Triangle your password/Authorization failed, the Icons wifi, 4G and Netwoork are Blue, white white.
I switch to email, and all 3 icons are now white, I open Market, it states no connection retry.
I reboot power off/on the phone and voila, The Phone comes up, logs into Hotspots and all 3 icons are blue,
This back and forth game is repeated all the time, at Starbucks, at home, ect.
Can anyone tell me exactly whats going on and how to fix it,
@Clouded - before it took me a while before my phone auto connects but after a power outage the router shutdown and went back up again after the power outage. Guess what - Now my phone connects automatically without problem ^_^ I know my router works well but I guess a quick power cycle of router will help.
thanks folks - i'm going to try both the solutions provided. reboot wlan router & check the wifi sleep setting...
will post how it goes later...
I have an Atrix 2. It has been replaced twice by AT&T due to this problem. I have factory reset each phone and tried every battery mode, data saver, sleep policy and wifi channel.
The problem:
The wifi turns off by itself! not sleep, off! As in the checked box is unchecked. The phone does it during use and when not being used. The timing between instances is random. The wifi sometimes stays on for hours. Other times it wont last five minutes. I have 4 other wifi devices connected by wifi to my secured router.
Note: I travel across the country for work and the problem occurs at airports, hotels, mcdonalds, ect.
I have called Motorola and their only option is to send it to the with no replacement. I could use some help. I have been searching online and others with this problem dont persist, they simply state that unsecuring their router fixed the problem. That is not an option for me as the routers are not mine.
Any input will be greatly appreciated.
Hi, I recently noticed this problem started after I installed the ATT Smart Wi-FI app. Mine will connect then turn off, wait a second turn back on then I get the WIFI networks avail message and I check it and it's not connecting to the network til I tell it too then it will stay connected all day.
I"ve had my atrix 2 for about a little over a month. It's doing the same thing. Wifi will randomly shut off. I have to go into the settings to turn it back on. It will work fine for a little while then just shuts off again. Does anyone know if this seems to be hardware or software related. I've tried different apps and WiFi sleep settings to no avail. I really like the atrix but this is kind of annoying.
I have the same issue also, except I have top reboot my phone for wifi to work again.

i have the same problem, it's not my wifi connection, but the actual wifi setting turns off whenever i turn off my screen and yes, i've set the wifi sleep policy to "never", so that's not the problem. i've also tried "never when plugged in" and "when screen turns off" and i still get the same problem. i was thinking about going to at&t and asking them about it but decided to come here first.
(a white iphone 4 is looking better and better ) can anyone help?
I had this problem but after I disabled the power saver option under battery and data (set it back to performance) it went away and Wi-Fi works perfect.
Tried different battery saver settings as well, nothing changed.

Currently on stock ROM, not rooted. My wifi seems to stop connecting intermittently. The Network appears to be present when checking but it won't connect to it for 5 minutes at a time. The wifi sleep policy is also set to never

try to remove the battery for a few minutes...if it doesn't work try to access another wifi because your router might be the problem.
nope....
battery pull definitely didnt help. I went ahead and adjusted my network router for dual band to see if that helps at all
Also have WiFi issues
I run into that as well. It says I am connected, even gives me an IP, but all my data still seems to go over the cellular network..
Very frustrating at home.

You can use Juice Defender to automatically disconnect data when you're on WiFi... I've been using it for months and it has worked flawlessly. You can also go into Menu... Settings... Wireless and network....Mobile networks... and manually uncheck "Use packet data" (this is what allows mobile data to connect).
I had these problems also I talk to one of the geek squad guys at best buy he told me that samsung products have problems with some routers because samsung products like to keep the same ip address which my conflict with other wifi products. So I bought a new router that was stronger and assigned my phone an ip address and that solve my problem.

Ever since my phone got the XNPH38R update I've been having an issue with wi-fi
If I connect to wifi it works fine but as soon as I lose the wifi signal it can't seem to reconnect to the same wifi without rebooting the phone. Its especially annoying when I walk to get the mail or come home from anywhere.
I've tried manually connecting to the wifi after being disconnected in the android wifi settings menu but it doesn't connect until I reboot my phone.
I'm running the 64GB oneplus one on t-mobile in the usa.
Any suggestions?

I've had this issue on CM, except it'd work when I manually connected back to the wifi - I believe it's an issue when the phone goes to sleep it's failing to resume wifi connections.
The only thing I could suggest is try downgrading back down, or doing a clean re-install, and reporting this issue on CM's jira, so they can fix it.

I'm on OMNI now, so I can't really help you out, but do try unticking that 'wifi optimization' option, or perhaps using a tasker profile to turn off and on wifi whenever the screen display turns off and on respectively (at the trade off of loosing connection, so you won't be able to download stuff while the phone's off).
i have the same problem..
So i know this is a widespread problem because im on my 3rd pixel 3 and i have exactly the same problem on every one.
When im at home wifi is on but half the time it isnt connected, but as soon as i poke about on the wifi settings it connects. Its like its in some kind of sleep mode or something. I end up using all my mobile data whilst indoors a few meters away from the router! Ive had a pixel 3 since it came out and just cant seem to fix this problem.
Please tell me its a well known problem and some one has worked out a fix
I have not had that problem, but you may be able to reduce the mobile data usage by turning off "Switch to mobile data automatically" in Settings, Wi-Fi preferences.

This is no a known issue and if you're on your 3rd pixel i don't think had anything to do with the phone. It's most likely an issue on your router side. Have you tried resetting it?
Are you by chance using WiFi which is configured as hidden network? This is typically done by checking the checkbook next to "do not broadcast SSID" checkbox.
If you are connecting to such network, there is a setting you have to check while setting up that WiFi connection. It is hidden in normal dialog and so it is easy to miss. This was the root cause for similar issue I have seen on my Android devices including Pixel.
Im not using a hidden network. The weirdest thing is whenever i notice its not using wifi as soon as i pull down on the screen at the top it will connect. like its been caught out lmao. was using the phone just now, an alert comes up to tell me ive used 2gb of data. so i pull down on top of screen and theres an x on the wifi icon, its on but theres an x (probably means not connected to anything) then a second later it connects. i dont click on anything it just connects whenever i pull the top bar down to check. its been happily eating my data while on sat in doors but as soon as i check that status it connects! its damn crazy!
This is exactly what it does every time without fail whenever i notice there is no wifi.
Fix your router bro

The x on the wifi icon means you are connected to the router, but the router is not connected to the internet. Like everyone else, I think you have a router problem. Rebooting the router may help, but it may be time to replace the router.
Where are you located? It could be that your internet is unable to ping google servers. I have that issue whenever I clean flash, but I am in China so that is why.
This is not a widespread issue and as almost everyone has said, you have a router issue. It's possible that your router "sleeps" when nothing is trying to use it but that's just a guess. My suggestion, get a new router.
