[Q] samsung galaxy s wlan connection issue - General Questions and Answers

dear all,
greetings, i need your help in an issue i am facing, i bought a galaxy s1 and started it on home wlan and it worked just fine, then tried it on my carrier gprs and also it did fine my gmail account was synced normally and all other google service worked just fine, the issue started when i connect it through my corporate wlan, the handset cant sync with google account even if i configured the internet proxy and the port it start the internet browser well, but cant sync with the gmail it keep saying network error occurred, i thought its an internet security issue till i tried a friend galaxy s2 which when was connected to the same wlan it worked perfectly, synced the gmail account and all other services worked just fine without even setting up any proxies or ports like (market, gtalk,...) now i am confused since there are alot of possibilities :
1-is it a software issue since the s1 uses fouyou 2.2 and the s2 gingerbread 2.3 will upgrading solve the issue?
2-is it a hardware issue?
3-is it something that has to do rooting and unrooting issue? i am new with android so i will as you for your patience since its a very big and complicated interface.
what can i do to findout...by the way my handset is designed for middle east so it did not have market app.thats why i changed the sales region to xga when i started it to have market.
i did not use the same simcard i used when i started the handset at the first time still that wasnt an issue for it synced normally on different simcards whether on gprs or home lan....thank you for your support.

Windows Live can't connect over 3G

Im having an odd problem, where windows live does not seem to attempt to use the default Internet Connection settings on my device. I am connected to the internet, via 3G, i can download emails, browse the web etc. However windows live does not seem to want to use this connection. It signs in fine over wifi, but as soon as I disable wifi and try to connect directly over 3G, it fails.
The odd thing, is that it doesn't even attempt to open an Internet Connection over 3G before it fails. I would expect the sign in process to try and open an new connection but it just displays a connectivity error. I suspect it is trying to connect over an invalid connection, though there seems no way to tell Windows Live to connect over a specific connection like you can with regular mail.
Does anyone have any ideas on how I might discover the cause of this problem? The only change of note I have made before this error started was to setup an Exchange account with Googles sync feature, however I fail to see how that could be the cause.
Welcome to forums
Try reinstaling live messenger or use another version
It would help a lot to know what device you have
Sorry, thought I had my specs in my sig. runnign and Xperia on Stock Aussie ROM (WM6.1). Have tried reinstalling but to no avail...
I have the same problem with my Palm Treo Pro on Telstra Next G, and all effort so far have been fruitless, my main problem is that when the phone goes into sleep mode so does Windows Live/Messenger rendering the whole thing useless. No such problem exists with my Nokia 6120 which connects Windows Live thru Next G without issue. Just about ready to go back to Fring which also had no Next G problems.

[Q] Samsung galaxy i9000 won't connect to wireless any more

Hi all,
I have a Galaxy i9000 and it won't connect to wireless. It used to connect just fine, then one day it stopped working. I ignored it for a while (3G still works) and once I finally got around to trying to see what had happened, I could see that the phone does connect to wireless networks (at home and at work), but once it had authenticated to the network, it would fail at "Obtaining IP address from <network name>". There's no error message, but the phone just sits at that stage forever. Not obtaining an IP address makes it pretty hard to connect to a wireless network
I don't know what happened to make this problem occur, it's been about a month now since it happened. I have AdFree installed on the phone, that writes to the hosts file, right? I suspect that it may have been a hosts file update which had caused this problem, but I'm not sure.
Does anyone have any suggestions as to what may have caused the problem?
Thanks!
what about reflashing your phone?
so you have everything stock
if this doesn't solve the problem then contact a service, or if you have warranty, just send it back...

[Q] WiFi strange behavior

I got my daughter her tab 7.7 about 6 months ago & had been going on perfectly. Android version is 3.2 & I have no easy measures to update for the time being.
For internet connection she uses only my WiFi secure connection. It was working fine all this time.
Today she can't log to her Facebook account via the Facebook app. I checked it out to find that I can log in via the browser but not the app. I thought it may need updating and tried Google play store but I was astonished to find it not working too as it gives me "No Connection. Try again".
I noticed that the WiFi mark is white & not showing the green strength marks, but connection is confirmed by the WiFi name. I was shocked when I tried the software update from "about" when it gave me the "no connection message" despite working WiFi connection. Samsung app is working perfectly & I can update its applications.
Also funny thing happened, when I tried the browser it kept giving me certificate errors many times.
I tried the VPN as I googled around but nothing changed. Same problem.
Switching off & on didn't help either.
Any Clues??
Thanks
Most strange thing happened.
Everything is back to normal without me doing anything.
I left the tab for a while while writing the previous post.
When I came back I found the app update mark showing up, I turned on the WiFi & touched the update icon, the strength signal showed in the WiFi & update started the goggle app. All went normally. Facebook app worked & even the browser certificate errors disappeared. The software update in the "about" worked fine & checked & found no updates.
What is going on...
Can anyone explain to me what's happening?
Thanks

Try Power Cycling your modem/router. That often corrects connection issues. Presume other devices were connecting just fine?

[Completed] Wifi connection kills Android phone

Hello there, I have a weird issue with my android phone, suddenly when I try to connect to a specific network using Wifi my phone gets blocked (Black screen) and is totally unresponsive, the only way to get back the phone to work is doing a full factory reset, This happens since yesterday afternoon when I get back to the office and tried to get connected to my office network, everything was working fine with my phone, no new apps installed recently, am on KitKat 4.4.2 and as I told you everything was fine till yesterday. I try to connect to my home wifi network and to other places, even public networks, and it works fine without problem, it seems is just with my office network but the IT group told me no changes was made in the network configuration since past 2 week.
Any sugestion, troubleshooting tips???
Thanks a lot

Internet connectivity problems

Hey guys,
I have a problem with my nexus, I've noticed that my internet on my phone is acting quite...strange to say. I have a dual band router(d-link 880l) and on my phone I only use the 5GHz one. it's the only device in my home that has problems.
The problem is that when searching something using the google bar it takes ages until I get the desired result, on youtube app sometimes when I open it ,it won't load anything,the second I close it and open it again it works,some videos just refuse to start until i restart the whole application, sometimes whatsapp doesn't connect to their server I have to restart the app to get messages, or to see las act of people,on facebook messenger is the same story,when i send a message it won't send ,it acts like I have no internet connection,until I restart the app. Ironically I get CONSTANT 81mb/s download and 91mb/s upload in speedtest.net app.
I really don't know what to do ,i've forgotten my network,tried connecting on 2.4GHz,put my wif i mode only in 2.4GHz,enterd recovery cleard cache partition,unninstaled whatsapp,youtube,fb messenger,google app,deleted all google play services data,restarted phone,neither of those fixed it...
Can you help me...?
Are you running the latest stock ROM or some other ROM/kernel combination?

I'm running rastapop 5.1.1 LMY48I with elementalx 4.04 since august 2015 with no fancy kernel settings or mods, just adblock and xposed over the top.I started to have this problem since november.
I did a factory reset on the router and I still have the problem.
To rule out software being the problem, I recommend flashing back to stock to see if the issue goes away.
I own a D-link DIR-850 (dual band AC router as well) and I am experiencing kind of the same problems. I have a Nexus 5 with latest firmware (MMB29S) but have had these issues for a while already. My girlfriends HTC One mini suffers from these problems as well. Most annoying is the seemingly random disconnects from whatsapp, I guess caused by Google Play Services being unreachable as at that same time also the Play store and other services relying on it are unreachable. Not sure whether this is an Android bug or caused by a bug in the Dlink router, which off course has been reset to factory defaults and checked for updates several times
Strange thing is that at the times that the Play Services are unreachable, other (plain internet based) services such as browsing with Chrome are working just fine.
I did some research on this compatibility issue between an android phone and a d-link router after I discoverd I'm not the only one.
The problem turned out to be some bug that is present in a way or another in android since lollipop , I think that lollipop(my case) is getting stuck when trying to do a DNS lookup ,but the problem is that it only happens on my home network, I don't have any problems at my friends wi fi or a public one. So my router isn't playing well with lollipop or the other way around.
The only solution I found to this problem is to disable ipv6 on your router or on the phone. So I did ,made a script that changes a value in a file, here it is : "echo 1 > /proc/sys/net/ipv6/conf/wlan0/disable_ipv6". With this I disabled ipv6 protocols on my phone(i've verified "disable_ipv6" file just to be sure that the value is "1") . Everyone bragged about it that it sloved their problem. Well guess I'm not that lucky,the problem still persists on my phone...
I've tried everything in the book...guess that this brand new 150 dollar router is not that impressive as they say...
I don't really want to factory restore my phone,I want to be my last option...the guy above me said that it did the factory reset thing and it didn't work so guess that it isn't an option after all...
If someone can help me(us), i will be very pleased...
At my workplace we have an Asus RT66NU providing the wifi, where I have never had any problem with this.
As you are suspecting it has something to do with the ipv6 stuff, I'll be experimenting with this a bit to see if something changes. First test is putting the autoconfiguration setting to SLAAC+stateless DHCP.
Next step will be disabling ipv6 at all.

I tried with PPPoE( my internet connection ) on ipv6 that is shared with my ipv4 session with SLAAC + stateless DHCP and stateful DHCPv6 . At first it was promising but in the end it didn't really solve my problem. Just for the record ,I had my ipv6 settings before on local connectivity only .
