[Q] question about wifi - Nexus S Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

hello everybody
any one can help me?
wifi refuse co connect
i see a symbol on the wifi bars, what does that mean
any solution

That means you are connected to the wireless network but you have no connection to the internet (and thus, no connection to googles servers which is why it is grey and not blue). Troubleshooting depends on what and whose network this is, and would be basically the same steps for a laptop which has connection issues - just using a different interface.

thank you soooo much

Wi-Fi connection problem

Hello everyone,
First let me say what a great forums this is, thanks to those who created it and the people here keeping it active.
I been having a problem connecting to my wi-fi at work. Several people who have mac laptops and iphones are able to find the wi-fi and connect right away in my office.
On my ATT Tilt it doesnt locate it. I enter the network id and when the device finds the signal it asks for a network key
Would anyone know why it isn't getting a network key or where can I find the network key to the wi-fi device?
Your help would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks,
-impact2oo
The network detected is a security enabled network and you have to ask the network administrator for the key

[Q] WiFi tethering bridge to existing access point

Hi there,
At my girlfriend's house there's an existing WiFi access point for their home network and they also have a bunch of computers wired in with ethernet cable. Mobile reception in the house is terrible but I've found one spot by a window where I can sustain a pretty decent dc-hsdpa link. I'm able to tether my laptop to my phone, the phone creates a new WiFi network ap and my laptop connects to that. That works fine.
The thing is, what I'd really like to do, is to have access to the dc-hsdpa connection from some of the wired computers on her home network. To do that I want to have my phone bridge the house network - via their existing WiFi ap - to the mobile internet connection. I'd like the phone to provide a gateway on the house network that could be manually used from the other computers. (I want to avoid using DHCP or anything as it will disrupt the network for other users.)
I know this is technically possible but I'm struggling to find an application that allows for this functionality. I've spent a good amount of time searching around the internet but to no avail. Does anyone know where I can look or of a suitable application? (My phone is a Samsung Galaxy S4 i9505 flashed to run a rooted variant of the play edition KitKat rom.) I'm happy to pay money.
Cheers, Dave.

[Completed] Latest Android phones not connecting to WiFi router

At work we installed a new WiFi router a few months back. The connection is open and no one needs a password to connect to it. But many who bought android phones recently arent able to connect to it. I have a OnePlus One with android 4.4.4 which doesnt connect to the WiFi. My colleagues own Xiaomi, Motorola phones which they bought recently, which also doesnt connect to the internet.
The phones detect the WiFi signal, says the network is saved but fails to connect to it no matter what. The temporary solution is to make our laptop into a WiFi router and use it but this is seriously annoying. The router is from HP and I dont know the exam model number for it at the moment
I will be grateful if someone can find any solution for this problem. Also, I am a novice when it comes to gadgets so, if your suggestion is to manually set up my WiFi settings please do so with clear instructions or a video of some sort. However I will be happy if this problem gets solved in a straightforward manner.
Please help!

No need to configure wifi on your device IMO.
Sounds like an issue with the wifi router.
To check an fix the internet settings of the wifi router, you will need the adminstrative access/console/password for the router.
Then you can check that all new devices afre allowed to connect. On some routers you can restrict the access to a list of known devices or by enabling a MAC address filtering.
If you find such options on the HP wifi router, disable it and restart the wifi.
And make sure that the SSID of the wifi network is visible (= not hidden). Some Android devices have issue connecting to hidden networks.
Thread closed. Thank you.

[Completed] Problem with Wifi Connection, no common issue

First of all thanks in advance for your support.
I have a rooted android Tablet Szenio 785qct with Android 4.2.2, it was working very well but the battery and the wifi had problems.
I thought that the wifi problem was in relation with the battery power, but after the replacement of the battery it persists.
The problem is very strange because:
- I switch on the wifi.
- It looks for the wifi connections.
- It Connects and an IP is assigned.
- But it does not navigate in internet.
- The info of the wifi connection says that is connected at 0 Mbps. The signal is full, i am near the Access point.
- DNS is assigned ok.
- File hosts is clear. (only localhost 127.0.0.1)
- I can connect with Ethernet wire or with bluetooth to my mobile phone shared connection and it can connect to internet. But not with wifi.
After this, I have searched for this problem in any way, but I did not find anything.
I dont know if it could be a bad configuration…
I would appreciate an idea for this…
Hi !
Sometimes this happens after a software update , try to reset the wifi router
Good luck !

Different brand phones have different behaviour on network without internet access

Hello, before you hate me, my question relates with programming and I do not find anythink similar here.
So I'm develeping android. It has to send data from phone to PC via network (Wifi LAN connection, IPv4, DHCP working). There is NO internet access and never will be!!! On phones like Xiaomi Samsung Huawei and Lenovo it works like charm, but on some phones (Sony, Prestigio)(different android version on that phones, on sony probably 4.0 or 4.4 and 6.0 on prestigio) it is not working, these phones detect wifi connection differently, they connect normally but then they said there is no internet connection and show small exclamation mark next to wifi symbol although they stay connected to wifi and ping agains them works normally, but android api network operation not works anymore, only when I connect that wifi LAN network to internet, android network api started to work normally. So faced someone to similar problem? Is the a solution to make it work on network without internet access? I do not have access to problem phones so I do not can run debugger on them. I will be glad for any advice or usefull link. Sorry for bad english but it is not my native language.
PS: Please it's not problem with wifi access point or network configuration on router or phones, I am sure. Phones from xiaomi, huawei... work normally, same code, same configuration, same network without internet access.

I don't know how you expect anyone to help solve this issue or troubleshoot what is going on if you do not have access to the devices that have the problem. If you do not have the phones in your possession to test them, we can't help you.
