I had the same problem and found the answer. Go to Settings>connections>WLAN settings>Power mode in power mode change the power save mode to Best performance instead of Auto. Once this is done it should work.
Stupid that it comes configured not to work out of the box. I was getting ready to return mine before I found the solution online. Hope it works for you.
thx man, i tried tht but still wont work, i tried keeping the bluetooth on as well... nuthing...
hey i'm kinda having the same problem..
i've read over almost all the threads on the board but just wanted to confirm..I have to setup manually a GPRS network in order for DATA via GSM to work? I'm in Canada and data here is insanely expensive so I only want to use Wifi. Just trying to make sure that it won't connect without me knowing it.
Also when the right LED at the top blinks green, meaning its connected to the network. Does that mean its connected for regular voice, or connected for Data?
Thanks guys. New but I hope to catch up fast with my new toy.

What you have to do is go to comm manager and press 6. Let me know if work. Good luck!!!
Hi,
I have the same issue, and Comm Manager the option 6 is grayed out and not available. Is that because I need the admin rights ??
settings-connections-menu-advanced.
the for internet choose whatever wifi access point that is saved in there.
Does anyone have the solution for this problem. I also have the problem that my s710 connects with my wifi-internet, but the internet itself cannot be used. I get the error "cannot connect the internet".
I have had internetconnection yesterday, the day that i bought the phone. But now, it doesn't work anymore.
thanks guys, it worked for me like a charme!!!
I got this phone as a hand me down from a good friend... I already did a hard reset on it, and was trying to configure the WIFI to connect me to the internet...
After following thoroughly the new user manual, I got myself connected to my WIFI connection... It says 'connected'...but I cannot go through the internet... everytime I open the internet explorer mobile, it just kept saying 'the page cannot be found'... but i believe everything in the connection setting is accurate...
Can someone please enlighten me?
Thank you so much
When I connect phone with my pass free network, it shows full strenght signal and everything is OK. But, when I try to use browser, it cant load pages, and the error shows up, that there is no connection!
With gprs it go immediately on web...
Please, any hint, help?
Make sure it's have free access for public user. Where do you get that access?
Cross check to another wifi access, I think it's not your phone but the security setting in the wifi router.
Thanks alot, problem was in my router!
Problem solved.
I am running the Zero rom and it is working great. I am having one issue but not sure if it is ICS related ot not. I am currently in Afghanistan and have edge data service. When I first started using it on GB all I had to do was create a new Access Point and only had to enter "internet" into the APN, no authentication, no proxy etc. So I instaleld ICS then when to their website (etisalat) for the APN setting. They show using a proxy but still no authentication. When I use those settings it shows that I am connected to edge but I get no data down and eventually get an error about not connetcing to the proxy. Anyway, I couldn't get it to work so I used the original APN setting but had to enable "Pap or Chap" authentication. Now it works.
But, the problem I am having is that it takes forwver to get data to connect. I mean when I leave my wifi connection, or go from a place with no cell signal to a place with signal, it takes a long time (5-30 min) for the phone to establish a data connection. I try to open my broswer or other internet programs but they just fail to connect saying no network avaiable. I try turning data on and off etc but it doesn't force it to connect. Eventually I will see the edge data connection icon showing in the top bar and it works again.
Anyone have any idea why it is slow to connect to the data? I never had this problem in GB.
Thanks
Try flashing the radio from this thread, its UCLA3, the best radio in many peoples opinion for speed and connectivity. It is gb based, but that shouldn't be an issue. I was using it with ics for a long time

Thanks, I will give it a try.
Well that didn't seem to help. Any other ideas?
Thanks
I am new on here. I have looked and haven't been able to find anything on the internet that helps much. I am running android 4.4.4 Paranoid. I was using my phone this morning and everything was fine. I was connected to my home WiFi. When I went to school my phone wouldn't connect to internet. I would just say "searching..." I rebooted my phone and and the WiFi appeared and I tried to connect and it said "network connection failed". I can't figure out what is wrong. should I factory reset?, flash a new rom? (by the way I am not super smart and advanced on these kind of things so If your solution is complicated please provide detailed instructions.)
