[Q] How do you fix WiFi receiving a signal but not transferring data? - Nexus S Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Hi,
This problem just started yesterday and I don't know how to fix it. My Nexus S will connect to a wifi network but it will not receive or send any data, or sync up will the Google servers.
I tried a router reset and that didn't work, then I did a search on here and tried some of the suggestions but none of them worked either.
It is fine with 3g, but not wifi.
I'm running the latest cm9 stable, tried a clean install and that didn't work, I also tried restoring from my latest backup from a few days ago and that didn't work either.
Help would be much appreciated =)

Could be issue with rom
Try another or
See if another wifi network works

Tried using other rom but problem still occur.
There is outgoing but no incoming as showned on the animation on the phone. I found that there is multiple busybox on my sys memory, is it the cause of the rom to be acting this way?
Thanks and regards, help really appreciate here.
under Settings>Accounts & Synch make sure Background Data is selected when connected to WIFI.
Hi thanks for the help,

maybe your x10 not compatible to the wireless router
my xperia x8 got similar problem before
but the problem solved by replacing a new router
you may try to connect another wifi network to figure out whether it is hardware problem or not

[Q] Connection Problem: "authentication via the proxy server was unsuccessful"

[Q] Connection Problem: "authentication via the proxy server was unsuccessful"
Hey there,
Whoever can solve this would most likely help many others out there.
I tried looking this up on google and on XDA, but there is no solution so far besides doing a factory reset.
I have been having a problem with my data network since yesterday, it doesn't connect to the internet at all. The LTE/4G sign is visible when I turn it on though, but none of the apps are able to connect.
WIFI works like usual, and that is the only way I can connect online with my phone at the moment.
There were some who said that the app "PDAnet" was the problem, and that you can reset the proxy settings, however, this option is only available for tablet versions.
I have:
A Galaxy Note i717 (with Telus)
[ROM/MOD][The Collective] Seraphim - First Flight - ICS
Kernel version: 3.0.8-perf-I717UCLC5-CL281649 [email protected] #1
Any help would be very much appreciated, thanks.
Hm, internet seems to be working now.
All I did was wait, later through the day my phone was able to detect the data connection. There were no setting changes or anything, I just left my phone, made phone calls, send/receive texts; and all of the sudden, it worked.
For those who have a similar problem, I'm sorry that there is no quick solution as of now, but it seems like the network would eventually fix itself.
I hope that there are other solutions out there, if you happen to know any, please don't shy away from sharing.
Hi,
My friend and I have the same problem, both of us have the i717 running dagr8's ICS_CLC5_Alpha2 ROM. Everything was working perfectly until Thursday morning, everything looks like it should work, but it doesn't.
Telus wasn't able to help outside of being able to tell me that when they notice my phone register to the network, it only registers to voice and not data.
Luckily we keep nandroid backups of every ROM we run, and we found that the only ROM that worked perfectly was the stock ROM (no custom ROM GB or ICS worked). However, we did find that the Mozilla Nightly (or Aurora in my case) was able to access the internet on the ROMs that didn't work. My next step is to get Telus back on the line and have them check what they see when the Mozilla browser accesses the internet.
My buddy also ran a logcat, and found that the phone reported some problems while attempting to connect to the data network. I don't have the log, I'll see if I can get him to post it later.
I'm glad your connection is up and running, and it looks like my buddy's connection is working as of this morning, so hopefully mine will be back up shortly.
The fix is to clear the proxy entries under the Telus APN, did that this morning, and data has been working since then.
finaly thank u

WiFi Hotspot issues

I've been running CM10 on my HOXL for a while, but I noticed today that I couldn't connect to the wifi hotspot I set up on it.
I've been able to in the past so for the last few hours I've been trying every combination to achieve a working result like it was previously:
tried connecting to hotspot from several devices - none work
tried rebooting ALL devices (including phone) - still can't connect
I can connect to it as long as it's an open network, but this is no good as I want to keep the security on the hotspot
I can tether via bluetooth or I can tether using an app - but I don't want this, I want my wifi hotspot back
I've reflashed from fresh wipe - still can't connect if hotspot has a password
tried both security settings, neither let me connect (but again, open is fine)
I've reflashed back to the stock ROM (Telstra Clean ROM anyway) - this actually works, let's me connect via wifi hotspot with security
flashed back to CM10 afterwards - wifi hotspot doesn't work again.
So basically I can't connect to my wiFi hotspot if it has security applied, while my phone is running CM10 (nightlies)
Anyone share this problem / have any more suggestions to try?

Have you checked the ROM's thread? This may be a known issue and possibly with a fix you can flash.

Yup, been through there and can't find anything (at least through the few dozen pages I've skimmed). Odd thing is it WAS working up until yesterday with the ROM, now it's stopped working. I tried reverting back to an earlier ROM as well, no dice.
I can't post in the thread to ask directly in there either.
Have you been flashing nightlies? The latest updates have been generating new Mac address for your phone when you flash. Its cause several problems. I had to change my router to wepkey access only. Cause I have Mac filters on my router. Not sure if that helps. Good luck though.

Yeah, I read that too. But my phone CONNECTS to wifi fine, the wifi is WORKING fine.
The problem is when I am trying to set it up as a hotspot that the issues are occurring.
To reiterate: it's only when I have security set on for the hotspot that I can't connect to it. (But having an open hotspot is not suitable)
No clue... I just tested hotspot and connected my wife's iPhone just fine. However I had to do a reboot to get WiFi back. They are tied in. Sorry I could be more help.

Sorry, just making sure all options were covered.
Just installed 10/7, still happening.
I wonder if it would have anything to do with what radio your on? I all ways flash 1.85 cause it works best for WiFi and I don't have LTE in my area so it works well for my H. Not sure though throwing out ideas for you.

I have the same issue running cm10 so you are not alone. For as often as I use it though its not an issue for me. The chances of someone jumping on to an open AP I roll for 10 minutes is slim. In the end remember, this is a rom still under nightly development so turbulence is to be expected.

I'm used to the turbulence. I was rocking ICS on my Desire which was, buggy at the best of times, but I was pretty tolerant of it.
Have another ROM running on my Nexus7 as well.
Other than this the CM10 ROM is incredible! I'd love to be able to run the hotspot open, but I know it's get milked by everyone around me... I appreciate everyone's help so far, I'll keep asking around and trying different options.
I find it odd it's not happening for everyone, that it's only started happening recently for me (probably after I briefly tried paranoid android on the device, before returning to CM nightlies), and that it works fine again if I use the stock sense ROM (yuck.)

Last radio I flashed was this:
EVITA_Telstra_2.40_Radio_0.20os.32.09.15_10.113.32.28L
I *DO* have good LTE where I am, so I would LIKE to be able to use it...
Cue dumb question: I flash the ROM then flash the radio yeah?
Well, it woul;ld appear I'm not the only person facing this issue at the moment either.
Also appears that CM10 nightly might be having trouble flashing radios... stay tuned.
Exactly the same problem here. Have been dirty flashing the currently CM10 nightly every couple of days and as of 7/10 hotspot (with password) and usb tethering have been broken. Hotspot works fine without security though.. Flashed back to 2/10 and it's working fine, just have to put up with glitchy graphics a while longer
Yup you're right, I flashed back to 10/2 - hotspot works with security just fine.
How often are you checking the updates to see if the wifi hotspot works with security again?
Looks like it's all fixed with the 12 Oct nightly

Use WEP security, works fine, less secure but i dont think someone will wasting time on hacking portable hotspot.

OPO connects to WiFi, but no internet?

Hi all, thanks in advance for your help and comments.
I am running the latest cyanogen mod 13.0 snapshot. I just flashed it maybe 5 days ago and things seemed to be working just great. Today, I came home and when my phone connected to my WiFi network it said "Connected, No Internet." I tried connecting to another WiFi network that I have used, and got the same message. I know that the internet does work on the network because this laptop works, and other android devices I have are working too. I've tried disconnecting, reconnecting, rebooting, changing some settings. So far nothing has worked. Additionally, when I switch to LTE, it works sometimes, but stalls out quite a bit. Earlier today I was using LTE throughout the day with no problems. I'm pretty perplexed by this problem. Does anyone have any ideas what might be wrong? Thanks.
Did you clean flashed cm13 snapshot?
It could be an issue with the Wi-Fi channel frequencies; Try this fix, from Advanced WiFi settings make sure you have "Auto" selected under "Wi-Fi frequency band". Also, try creating a hotspot from your Laptop using your connection and see if the issue still persists. (For creating a hotspot you may use applications such as mhotspot etc.
Hope this helps.
Yeah it was a clean flash.
Thanks for the suggestions. I did switch between the 2 GHz, 5 GHz, and Auto options under the band settings. Never made a difference. I ended up clean flashing PA last night because I was getting so frustrated. WiFi works again, but the PA rom doesn't really have a lot of customization options. I'll have to try something else tonight I guess.
The weird thing about the WiFi issue was that it worked just fine for probably 4 days on the CM snapshot. I honestly don't know what could have changed. I didn't make any big changes to the ROM or anything.
Hmmm...i have the same problem about a week ago but i found out it got nothing to do with the rom but got a thing to do with the theme i used...it seems like the theme i use before doesn't work properly which prevent my wifi to work....i switched my theme and suddenly the wifi is working again....i'm not sure if this can help you but if you do use 3rd parties themes then i suggest you switched to default theme and try your wifi connection...

Mobile network internet access stopped working

Yesterday was like any other day, I took the bus to work and enabled mobile hotspot on my Oneplus 6 so I could do some work. On my way home in the afternoon, I did the same thing. This time however, I had exclemation marks on the mobile network symbol in the statusbar. Tried enabling hotspot anyway but there was network. Rebooted the phone but still the same issue. Oh well, I thought it was just my carrier then. When I came home to my wifi, I checked my carriers status information on their websites and there was no disturbances. Then I restored a backup which failed and I had to reflash the phone entirely with the latest pie zip. Today, I still don't have any network on my sims. I use two sims but they are using the same carrier. I also asked around my friends which has the same carrier and they have network...
I would understand if something might have happened when I reflashed the phone last night but that does not explain the sudden malfunction of the network on my bus ride home, the phone had worked flawlessly for a whole week.
This thread seem to be about the same thing and I tried the solutions regarding clearing caches and settings but it did not work:
https://forums.oneplus.com/threads/...ot-working-but-network-bars-are-there.844978/
Could it be something with the IMEI number? But it doesn't explain why it stopped working out of the blue. I can see both my IMEI numbers in the settings and I have also tried install Magisk 17.2 beta as suggested by another user. I think I still have a backup of the modem on my pc. However this is from when the network still worked and then suddenly stopped working.
TLDR: I have full reception, Calls and SMS work, there is just no Internet connection.

No hotspot
I'm having a similar issue, I updated to android p stable and since then I can't use hotspot. It turns on fine and says devices connected but internet doesn't work on the connected devices. This seems to be an issue with Android P because my gf also has the op6 and I tried hotspot on hers before updating and it worked fine, then updated and it stopped working for her too. I have also tried clearing cache and manually entering the APN. I need to be able to tether to my laptop and tablet for work so anyone solution to this problem would be highly appreciated.
Thanks.

Although the problem I decribed in this thread isn't the hotspot problem, it was caused by my carrier. But I also have issues with hotspot, my laptop has trouble finding the wifi from the phone.
