I just got my Sensation today, unboxed it, but it won't do anything over the internet over wi-fi. I have connected it to my wi-fi router and it says it is connected with 4 bars of signal, but whenever I try to go to a webpage it brings up the Android fault screen saying "Webpage not available", it seems to do the same thing when connected through my pc (having said that, I am less sure my settings are correct for that to work).
I have moved from a Motorola Milestone, which works perfectly on the same network.
Does anyone have any ideas what I am doing wrong?
Cheers,
Dave

the only thing i can personally think is try making sure your router has all the latest drivers.....better yet...try to connect to a different wifi spot to eliminate phone or router. if, with a different known working router it doesn't work, then get worried.
I'm having similar problems. With my Vodafone sim everything works fine, but with my T-Mobile sim (which I want to use until my number is ported), I get 4 bars of HSDPA signal but no data connection and the wi-fi doesn't work.

Thanks, glad I'm not the only one. I've just tried it with my T-Mobile sim, and that has the same problems. Will probably try calling vodafone tomorrow or going in store, I hold out more hope of finding someone helpful online though. My experience of store staff is not 100% positive for technical stuff.
WiFi is good on mine although I don't get a 3g signal at all at home. T mobile sim doesn't connect to internet either but hopefully that should be because the internet settings should be changed for t mobile. I'm hoping that any issue we have can be sorted with a new radio.

You'll probably need to add new APN settings for t-mobile, as the Vodafone Sensation only has the vodafone APN.
lol that what i meant. but vodafone should have a better signal that t-mobile its struggling to keep 1 bar. hope this not one of those antenna bugs that my old tytn 2 had
I've not yet tried WiFi but my mobile data is now working fine on T-Mobile with the following APN settings;
Name: TMobile GPRS
APN: general.t-mobile.uk
Username: user
Password: pass
Enter that via the APN option in settings under wireless networks.

It looks like it is a problem with my router / network. I have managed to get wireless working on a different wireless network, so I think I need to play with my router to see if I can get that to work.
Thanks for all the help guys.
Hello everyone
I wouldn't usually make a new thread for something that i can find using the search option.. but this is special case..
I just got my Nexus S from Fido and I notice that i can't connect to my Wifi.. to make matters worst I get a 3G signal but i can't connect to any internet site even google..
Any help would be appreciated.. or worst comes to worst I have to get an Iphone 4G....
Wrong kernel can cause this.
Try to install new ROM. There are plenty available for you on the ns dev sections. Find one which is suits for your NS.

anyone? please help mothers day is coming!
So I've had my nexus 5 for a few weeks now and I have two connection issues, one with wifi and one with the T-Mobile network.
Wifi Issue: I can connect to wifi with no problems, but after a while the wifi just stops working. It is still connected and the signal strength is good but I can't load any web pages or download anything. This usually happens if I'm downloading a large file from the play store.
T-Mobile Network: I usually drive though a couple dead spots on my commute where I lose service which is unavoidable. The problem is once I return to an area I know I get service, the phone has not reconnected to the mobile network. A triangle shows up in the notification tray saying I don't have service and I have to either search for a network operator or reboot the phone to get a connection. This problem doesn't happen every single time I lose service, but enough to be very annoying.
If anyone has a solution or suggestions they would be greatly appreciated. FYI my nexus is completely stock (using ART), I haven't rooted or unlocked anything...yet.
Thanks for your help
I have very similar issues.
I am on stock, unrooted and can't get decent internet through my WiFi even though my nexus 7 and other phones don't have an issue.
It also seems to struggle over 3g. I am with 3
I was considering contacting Google to see if I can replace the phone. I bought mine in November.

Dear experts.
i have finally decided to share my ''unlucky epxerience'' with you.
i have got a serious problem which i have been fighting with since the first day i purchased my phone.
i have a white nexus 5 32 Gb version,D821 model.
and i'm from morocco,which means 4G will work for me because my phone is the indian version not the american version that doesn't support 4G in the rest of the world.
so,my problem is like that: when i first bought this phone i got stuck in ''emergency calls only'' for one week like every nexus 5 users did due to this known problem about the phone.
and after many reboots,clearing cashe,and searching manually for network,i got the signal again.
i never tried to switch to LTE mode,becuz i thought it would charge me a lot of data.
but,after a while i decided on and switched to LTE and got stuck again in emergency calls only !!!
i tried many things like contacting my carrier,searching manually,inserting another Sim card,force switching to LTe by dialing *#*#4636#*#*
but to no avail.
i decided to go to the nearest 4G tower and make sure if the problem had to do with 4G coverage or my phone's antenna.
then,i finally saw the LTE logo with full bar.
to sum up,now,i can't use 4G unless i'm near a 4G tower.
moreover,sometimes my phone loses signal even when i'm using only 3G which leads me to switch to 2G to catch the signal or reboot my phone many times and manually search for network.
i don't know if the problem has to do with the antenna or the bands of my phone.
and since i know nothing about flashing drivers or enabling bands.
i don't wana risk and end up by disabling any obviously enabled band.
i never took my phone to repair,because Lg service isn't available in my erea,plus i don't wanna give my phone to a dumb that would make it worse,because i fix my phone all by myself.
please help me solve this problem.
if anyone has any clue like repairing my 4G with octobox or trying to fix the antenna please.
any kind if suggestion is accepted.
best regards
Zakaria.
Edit : yesterday,i removed the back cover of my nexus 5 and found out that it's actually a D820
that's weird because rebooting the phone to bootloader it says D821 (H)
and i was wondering what does that (H) revers to ?
but the thing that confuses me is if it's actually a D820 why does it catches LTE near a 4G tower?
does that mean the bands are already enabled ?
do i still need to enable any other band to make it work properly ?
thank you so much in advance and waiting to hearing from you soon.
