I've been looking in different forums and can't find an issue to this problem. I did find one thread that had a similar problem, but I didn't see a solution.
My problem is that sometimes when I turn my wifi on, the status bar will do the usual and show wifi and disconnect data. After a few seconds, the data icon will show back up and the status bar will show both wifi and data. However, I'm not able to connect to any webpage.
This problem just recently started happening, so it's not my router. I'm also running the latest RCMix ROM with Leedroid's latest kernel.
Thanks for any help.
Try using a different ROM, it might be the way your apn settings are set...

I also have this occasionally using the stock rom...but it lasts for only a couple minutes. I believe it is happening when the phone thinks it has lost WiFi or has barely a signal from the router...
I'm at the public library and the wi-fi on my g2x says its connected but there is no internet. The signal's excellent but no internet connection whatsoever. I have tried battery pull & reboot but that doesn't do anything. Also forgot the network, turn off wifi, and reboot, but it doesnt work out either. Can anyone show me the steps on how to resolve thanks.
Step 1: disconnect from library wifi
Step 2: connect to reliable wifi

Well for one, are you sure that wifi offers internet access? Not every wifi has internet available to it. Next, how are you testing for internet? Some free wifi require you to open a browser and read a agreement of some sort before it allows you through. In that case just connecting then launching tapatalk would show as no internet, even if there is. Being a library wifi I imagine you need to log in first via browser.

I've had this same problem before. If you can rule out options like battery pull or any other trick then I would suggest using the wifi recovery app on the market (not sure if thats the name or not). It fixed mine. Well, it fixed THAT issue.
I have a stock Skyrocket (4.0.3-IML74K.CLE5) I am using as a media player. I keep it in airplane mode all the time with the Wifi on connected to my router. Yesterday the Play store started telling me there was no connection even though I was connected to my router. I went to the web and found I could connect to pages, but constantly get security warnings. If I click continue I can go on to see the page. Netflix tells me there is a problem connecting to Netflix. Voice search works fine. Google Voice tells me there was a network error. Facebook says it can't find a secure connection. Gmail says no connection. Zedge works fine.
I have tried four different wifi Hotspots both secured and insecure. I have tried telling it to forget the connections and reconnecting. I have restarted many times, removed the battery, and tried all the frequency bands.
The wifi icon in the notification bar shows a strong connection. And the little arrows light up orange and green to show activity.
I am guessing there is something wonky going on with establishing a secure internet connection, bit I have no idea how to fix it. Any advice is appreciated.
Q&A please

Sorry about posting in the wrong spot.
I have been using it like this for three weeks. The problem started two days ago.
Update: it works again. I don't know what I did to fix it, though. I went through every setting, and did turn off screen lock and unknown sources, bit I doubt that did it.
i figured it out, i had the same problem, the date and time were askew. updated them and it worked just fine ^__^
Hey guys. This is my first thread here. So, I hope you can help me.
When I upgraded my GT+ to ICS then now to JB, I already had problems with the WiFi. I thought I would find the problem in the forums, but mine I think is different. There are two arrows in the WiFi indicator, the orange and the green ones. When these two arrows are both lighted up, it means that it is transferring data to the Tab or whatsoever so that I could connect to the Internet. Well, this is based on my understanding, hope you could still help me about this.
So, the problem is, whenever I open the internet and enter an URL, the green arrow stops blinking leaving the orange ones lighted up until both of them are already not blinking and then the browser says, "Webpage not available" (like the attachment below). It happens all the time and whenever I update my Apps in the Google Play, after, example: 23% of downloading the app, it stops and the same scenario happens again. What I do is, I will turn off the WiFi toggle and turn it on again and after, maybe 30 minutes, it happens again.
What do you think guys is the problem? Is it the router or modem's problem too? Or it is a software issue? Thank You guys! ))

Yes. I have tried it on my sister's S3 Mini. I never experienced that scenario when my GT+ was still Honeycomb. It just happened when I updated it to ICS.
These are also some happenings:
- When I will refresh the Accuweather widget, it will happen again. Both of the arrows will stop blinking.
- When I am updating 15 Apps (for example), again, Both of the arrows will stop blinking then it will stop downloading.
- When I am using Google Now then I said something, it will just show "Recognizing" then it sill show "No connection."
- When I am surfing the web and then I searched something, again the arrows will stop blinking, then the browser says, "Webpage is not available"
- When I am uploading photos to Facebook, same scenario again and then it will show, "No connection"
The WiFi is not disconnecting actually. It stays connected but it stops giving data. I'm suffering from this problem since ICS. I don't know what's really the source of this problem. That's why I'm seeking for help here in XDA. Thank youuuu.
Most likely your router is dlink? Change the router, use a tplink one

Okay okay. I'll try. Thanks!
My router actually is Tenda and I think it's already old. So, I'll try other routers. )
Make sure you have the correct wifi frequency band set on your tab for your region/or router. I'm not sure if the stock Samsung roms let you configure it. In aosp builds it's in wifi and advanced menu.

In the Advanced menu, it only shows the IP and MAC Address. How can I know the correct frequency band? I posted an attachment for the picture of the Advanced Settings. )
It seems the problem come from your modem.
I had similar problem like this. My wifi router connect to modem and sometimes this modem does not allocate IP for router.
This problem is most likely related to IP configuration issues. Let try to use some apps to list down all configurations and check
I only experience this every after flashing roms coz my apn settings always gets edited, what I did before if i dont want problems with wifi every after flashing roms using odin was I copied my apn settinngs and edit the wrong apn settings after flashing, or I remove sim card before flashing but I made a copy of apn just to be sure

APN has nothing to do with wifi. APN applies to your cell data connection. 3g, LTE, etc. not to wifi.

I just got the galaxy s6 two days ago and I am already having wifi issues. The phone tells me that the signal is very strong but it cannot load pages and tabs keep crashing. I have to turn off wifi and then turn it back on multiple times to fix the issue. After about 15 minutes it goes right back and continues with the same issue. I know this is not a modem or router issue because all of my other devices are connected and have no issues of loading anything work perfect. Just posting to see if anybody else has this same issue. Please keep me informed if you have found a fix. Thank you!
Exactly having the same issue with WiFi
Same issue here as well. No issues with my older HTC One, but my S6 is having really bad issues with staying connected to WiFi.
Well i figured out the problem. There is an issue with it configuring to different router settings. I changed the authentication type to wpa2-personal and has been working fine with zero issues now.

Did you manually change the settings in s6?
No. I had to go into the router settings and change it manually. Phone will switch to the changed setting automatically.

tronic86......thank you! Finally! Something that worked! It's been driving me crazy. I've tried every every every other trick....DNSet....cache clear....ipv6 changes....manually changed dns to Google....nothing worked until I switched to lower wpa2 setting. You're the only person I've seen post this fix after extensive searching. Hallelujah.
