[Q] Cognition 4.5.2 & NO WiFi connection?? - General Questions and Answers

I just flashed Cognition 4.5.2 to my Captivate S but I can't connect to my WiFi network. It sees my secured network WPA/WPA2 PSK but will not allow me to connect to it. Signal strength reports Excellent. After inputting password it does the authenticating and comes back with a message Disabled, Secured with WPA/WPA2 PSK.
Is there a problem with this ROM release & secured WiFi networks. It worked with stock ROM FROYO 2.2 before update.
Anyone else having this problem?

I am having the exact same issue. I get the "Disabled, Secured with WPA/WPA2 PSK" message after a failed connection. If I click on the network again I'm prompted for the password, which I am 100% sure is correct, then the same cycle - authenticating, then the disabled message.
I've tried a static IP setting with the same results.
If I set the network to open, it works fine.
I flashed from 2.3.7 and it was working fine on that version.

Fixed Problem.....
OK so I discovered there is indeed a reported problem with this release. Cognition has a newer release 4.5.3. Downloaded that, flashed it & bingo wifi now works.

[Q] Motorola Milestone - help with WiFi connection

Hi,
Recently I had occasion to do a hard reset of my Milestone. I had used Universal Androot and then tried to install an Apps2SD application called App2Card. Unfortunately, things got a bit screwed up and I had to do a hard reset.
Post that, everything else works fine but the WiFi refuses to connect. It finds the various APs around but always says "Obtaining IP address from XXX..." and then "Connection failed". I tried resetting it again but this problem still persists. Tried it on my home network, office network, without security, etc but still no luck. I tried assigning a fixed IP address too, along with all the settings required. This works (as in, the WiFi icon appears on the taskbar, it says it is connected) but I can't surf or use any application that needs internet connectivity.
It used to connect to both home and office networks perfectly before. There have been no security or other setting changes on either of these networks. I also tried some open public WiFi networks, but the same problem persists.
Till this event occurred, I have been using WiFi on my home and office network with no problem at all. So it can't be a network issue.
Does anyone have any suggestions I can try? Any help appreciated!

[Q] Broken WiFi after OTA to ICS

Started with 2.3.6, OTA to ICS failed repeatedly, finally fxz'd to 2.3.5, then OTA to 2.3.6 then to ICS per jimbridgman's instructions. Everything worked perfectly except for the WiFi, which under "WI-FI NETWORKS" now constantly flashes between "Connecting..." and "Saved, secured with WPA2". But there is no connection and the signal shows very low (which it's not). If I forget the connection the network shows up very strong. This connection had been working flawlessly with both the phone and my laptop since April.
Under "Wi-Fi Settings" , if I hold down on the network and go to "Modify Network" and under "Show advanced options", the "IP settings" were set to DHCP which should have worked, but if I change it from DHCP to Static, an incorrect IP comes up (192.168.1.128, should be 192.168.0.128) AND the "Save" button goes dark! I can edit the address and gateway and all the other settings but it won't save them.
I have rebooted the phone and the wifi router several times and changed some of the settings on the router. I also tried turning off all 3 devices, started the router, then the phone, then the laptop, all to no avail. Reverted the settings on my router. Never had a connection problem on the laptop through all of this.
Rooted the phone also per jimbridgman’s instructions. Installed Titanium Backup. Uninstalled the ATT Smart wifi app (I KNOW, SHOULD HAVE FROZE IT INSTEAD) with no change. Reinstalled the app from the Play Store. No change. Froze Smart Actions from Titanium Backup, that did seem to change to flash pattern on the wifi network, and I can now set it to “AUTO” from DHCP, which I wasn’t able to do before, but otherwise there is no real change. I did reboot after each change.
I sure hope someone can help a NOOB with this… I need the wifi.
Thanks in advance,,
Wireless N protocol
After fiddling with this most of the day I looked at the connection attempts from the router interface: Apparently the Atrix 2 is NOT using wireless N anymore, and the rest of my network is.
Anyone know how to set the wireless protocol in the Atrix 2?
Connected in G mode
Changed the router to mixed mode and the A2 connected, checked the client list on the router and it connected in wireless G mode. Ugh. I'd really like to keep this thing in the N mode.
Any suggestions? Anyone else seeing this? There's gotta be a way to change it to N mode, especially since it was using that mode exclusively before ICS.
Thanks,

[Q] Wifi continuously authenticating

I just flashed to jelly bean 4.1.1 on my verizon GS3. I can't get wifi to stay connected. It continuously rotates between "Authenticating", and "Saved, Secured". Eventually it gives up and just says "Disconnected". Anybody else having that problem?

Probably wont help but try a different channel on your router. Change from "Auto" to something else. Are you using WPA2 security? Try removing the security settings (TEMPORARILY) as a test. Try resetting your router to factory defaults and set back up again.
In the end... sometimes certain routers appear to have connectivity issues.
My Netgear WNDR3400 can be very problematic

I've had my Verizon Galaxy s3 for about a month without any wifi connection problems - until yesterday. It worked with my old router (Linksys) and several other secured routers (when visiting friends) with no problems. I installed a new Netgear WNR2000 in my system after the Linksys developed problems. I had the "Authenticating - Saved, Secured" rotation problem as soon as I tried to connect. For lack of any other ideas, I tried all of the encryption codes available on the Netgear - one at a time. When I got to WEP, it worked perfectly.
I called Samsung. The tech I spoke with said the WMR2000 is supposed to be compatible with the GS3. For the present, the solution is to stay with the WEP encryption. I intend to contact Netgear to see why I can't connect with their WPA or WPA2 options.

Wireless 802.1 EAP stuck at "obtaining IP address" on KitKat stock (can't connect)

Wireless 802.1 EAP stuck at "obtaining IP address" on KitKat stock (can't connect)
Hello everybody,
i know that it seems to be a common bug but i've found a lot of complaining about it but no solutions, so i hope i'm gonna be more lucky opening a more recent post.
I have a Nexus 4 and i was using Paranoid Android 3.99 (based on Jelly Bean 4.3) and then yesterday i decided to come back to Android AOSP stock in order to upgrade to KitKat 4.4.2.
I followed this procedure that is the official Google procedure, by the way.
I've wiped everything, including SD Card, and flashed every piece of the stock KitKat 4.4.2 for Nexus 4 (Android 4.4.2 KOT49H): boot, bootloader, flash, radio, system, userdata and recovery.
Now, i'm not able to connect to the wireless of my office that is protected with 802.1 EAP (PEAP + MSCHAPV2). The authentication is passed but then i get stuck at "obtaining IP address" and after a few attempts i receive the message "network disabled poor connection".
Once every 1000 attempts, i am able to connect successfully.
The signal is excellent, i'm really close to the access point.
I'm the only having this problem; we have a lot of Android phones and iPhones and they all work great.
I can't use a static IP address and i can't change the router/access point settings.
I have no problem with domestic wireless, protected with WPA or WPA2 PSK. I've tested 2 different wifi.
I had no problem with Jelly Bean AOSP stock or Paranoid.
Any suggestions?
Maybe a different radio?
I really don't want to wipe and flash everything back the second time in a couple of days. It's frustrating.
Thank you in advance.
By the way, i think i've found a workaround: the problem seems caused by the fact that the access point in my office transmits using both frequency 2.4 and 5 Ghz.
This bug seems to affect the 5 Ghz.
So i went to the menu Setting > Wi-Fi > Advanced > Wi-Fi frequency band and i've changed from "Automatic" to "Only 2.4 Ghz".
Noe everything's working fine with the office's wireless and every other network.
the employer blocked the WIFI from employees (obtaining the ip address issue)
we cant access the WIFI in the hotel at where we work and although there are a password you put at the hotel's WIFI website but they did something lately to all of us and it is when any of the staff open the WIFI on his mobile it just keep showing obtaining IP address and no result so if you guys could help me in this and do i have to get a new phone or to try hiding my IP i tried a lot of apps but no way plz help

Can't access WiFi at work since Marshmallow

So since I got the Marshmallow update on my Moto G (XT1540) I am unable to connect to the WiFi at work, I have the correct SSID and password and it worked fine on Lollipop, but keep getting "Authentication error" now that I have Marshmallow. I have tried doing a Forget Network and rejoining it and doing a Network Reset in the Backup and Reset settings menu.
Our internal help desk and myself are puzzled by it isn't working... We have a fairly current Ruckus WiFi deployment, using WPA2 and EAS encryption. This WiFi SSID is specifically intended for employee's mobile devices, and no one else has reported any issues, but to our IT staff's knowledge mine is the first Marshmallow device attempting to access the WiFi.
Any thoughts, or any way to track down what the real cause is? Would a logcat show me anything?
BUMP
Anyone else having issues with WiFi since Marshmallow? I only have this issue at this one site, always the same Authentication Error and I know it is not the password (on my company issued iPhone I have deleted and added the WiFi network several times, so the password is correct). Our help desk is stumped. I am assuming this is related to encryption type (TKIP/AES) from the error. This worked fine on Lollipop...

Were you able to resolve? I had no wifi issue until today. I am in the process of changing routers and just installed a Linksys 1900ACS. When connecting my phone to wifi, it gets stuck on "Obtaining IP address". However, when I try to connect to the guest network, there are no issues.
Update: I wanted to keep WEP to avoid changing the settings in all my wifi cameras. But when I changed to WPA2 Personal, all worked. Don't know why WEP did not work as it did with my previous router.

No, we were not able to find a solution other than I connected to the guest network, which oddly is on the same APs, using the same encryption, just a different SSID and passphrase, which works fine. Can't explain it or find a solution, sorry.
