Okay, so me and some friends have a really weird bug.. We can't connect to our schools wi-fi (open) We can find the connection, but it keeps getting stuck on "Waiting for IP-adress." We all have rooted phones (1 htc sensation, 2 sgsII)
I can connect to all other networks, just not this one. Any suggestions for a fix?
the problem might be the router's encryption type
Try changing it to wep or something else to see if it works

Without rooting your phone, you can't do much to fix it on your own. Call your provider and have them push an OTA fix for you.

Hi!
Same problem, but could solved.
I connected the phone to pc via usb cable, then chosen internet pass through (not sure this is the correct name in english menu because i use hungarian).
It was able to synchronize, and the icon has gone.
Before updating sw wifi was on and after that i was not able using internet, however i had lan connection.
I used static ip. After changing to dhcp the problem is gone and i can use static ip again. Perhaps it was a dns error. My phone isn't rooted too. Sorry for my poor english

From what I've read, it's a DNS error and seems to affect users with static IP settings. Here's how I "solved" the problem:
1. Connect to another WiFi access point (I use my wife's Desire S to create a WiFi Hotspot)
2. Surf the net
3. Reconnect to your original WiFi access point
Note that it will revert once you restart the phone.
Thanks guys !
@trinyo: I did the same you written above ! when I connected my phone via Internet Pass through, that synchronize icon disappeared and internet started working, after that I disconnected the cable and connected my phone via Wireless internet but had same problem "WIFI din't work" although that synchronize icon not showing now.

Hi,
This is a Sensation forum.
Look HERE
And HERE
Thanks guys !
After automatic update on my HTC sensation XE to 3.33.111.107 soft update, I lost internet connection on some routers that I used to connect. Of course, HTC was connecting to routers without problem (DHCP or Static) but no internet connection. I can even enter to router setup page and do everything in setup, but no internet. It looks like DNS problem. I even put ip addres of google i browser addres bar, but nothing. I reset router, change security settings on ruoter, restart phone, erase wifi connection in phone.. :silly:
anyway... My internet over wifi router start working after:
1. connect to other phone hot spot in same room where is problematic router (d-link DIR615)
2. surf little on internet over hot spot network
3. click on hot spot network and select on forget network
4. connect to router wifi network
Again, thanks guys :highfive: for idea to do something simple and stupid like this above to fix my problem with HTC internet connection over wifi router
Hi everybody
I bought a Zopo ZP999 2 weeks ago and globally i'm very satisfied with it. The only problem is that when I connect it with my wifi network after 15 seconds i'm still connected but without debt. My smartphone run under Android 4.4.2 and I'm connected with the protocole WPA AES.
I just want to say that at my work every works perfectly on the wifi network. I tried to change the security protocol at home and nothing change. I also tried another router wifi with 3 differents protocols and same results.
Is somebody have a solution for this problem ?
Thanks a lot
Jeff
So if you're saying you have no issues with wifi at work but at home, you need to contact your home isp and trouble shoot with them.
Thank you

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.

Hi all, just received my 8T on Friday. I migrated from a Pixel 4XL which was having microphone issues I think. After migration, tried to set up the phone, and I could not get the 8T to connect to my home's WPA2-PSK wifi network to log back into my google account, get OS and app updates, add email accounts, etc. Had to do all that over 4G. Finally discovered by accident that the phone will connect to unencrypted networks like hotspots. Eventually, I run a debug trace on my home wifi infrastructure (Cisco 9130 with embedded wireless controller & other Cisco 3800's) and I can see that the phone connects just fine to "open" network that I created to test with, but as soon as I try to connect to the WPA2 network everything in the house runs on, the entries in the trace stop... meaning the phone isn't even trying to connect to the access point. On the phone, when you click to connect to the secured wifi, you can see the status go from "saved" to "connecting" back to "saved", while the access point sees no connection attempt whatsoever. So it's either software or hardware problem with the phone. Seeing as I've been on at least two different versions of the OS, I suspect hardware.
So my question is this: is anyone else able to connect an 8T to a wifi network that's secured with WPA2 preshared key? Is it just me having trouble? I've been on chat with OnePlus support two different times, now I'm waiting since Sunday for a shipping label for RMA to OnePlus.
Any help greatly appreciated!
