[Q] WiFi won't work, no matter what!

Hi,
I've just received my Samsung Focus AT&T Unlocked, everything's look good except WiFi won't work, no matter what I do. I've tried all suggestions posted online..
Did NoDo update
Tried WPA
Tried WPA2
Tried with No Security (Open Network)
Tried the channels 6, 9 and 11
Even reset the Router
Reset the Phone
I'd really appreciate any help, WiFi is a must for me!
Many thanks for your help!

You did NOT provide enough information so we can't help you.
Eg. Does your phone give an error connecting or does it not detect WiFi at all? Does your WiFi works elsewhere such as your office?

Oh sorry.
Phone detects all available networks, but can't join/use them. The error is:
"Connection Unsuccessful - Your phone couldn't reach the WiFi network xyz"
Yes, tried creating a network with my Macbook and joining, but that didn't work either.

Have you tried to connect using Wired connection (when your phone is connected to PC with Zune launched)? I just want to make sure that connecting to internet and getting and IP is not the problem.

Yes, that works. So I turned off 'Data Connection' from settings, connected to PC and opened Zune. I can access internet on the phone, even checked the IP, it seems to be using the PCs connection. Removed the USB cable, and there's no internet.
So yes, that works which confirms that there's physical fault in the phone, just a bug?

I had similar problem with my university wireless connection. After several access with Zune, the problem was fixed. And by the way, it may not be a hardware problem since your device detects the available network.
Perhaps you need to visit a phone shop.

Ah, thats a relief to know. And since windows is not officially available in my country, there are no shops.
I'm expecting one of the experts here to chime in and help, or someone who has experienced and resolced this issue before.
Thanks

Can you please tell me your router's mode, channel, fragmentation, treshold values. Maybe that'll help.

Anyone? WiFi not working is so annoying!
I'd really appreciate any help with this.

Try connecting to WiFi at your office or somewhere else.
I also have the Samsung Focus and it won't connect to a certain router no matter how I configuration the router.

[Q] xperia neo v wifi problem

Hi guys i use connectify from my laptop to connect my neo v to net via wifi.
But i am not getting proper speeds on the phone. It also disconnects (though it doesn't show up on the phone only on laptop, phone shows connected to wifi ) if i keep it ideal. Sometimes it gives speeds and sometimes it doesn't even open the sony homepage. Is it the problem with my phone wifi or is it usual with connectify. Since i dont have a router i cant check. Please help .

hello,
Your phone is updated at the system level? Because it can come with a default of your radio in the phone. Another version fixes may be your problem.
Bye !

i have updated it by official pc companion and the rom is stock with bootloader locked

thanks for your help.It seems that the problem is with the ics kernel because connectify connects with gingerbread just fine.

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

Try connecting with some other device to see if it's the tabs fault or not. If router is okay reflash the rom with a data wipe.

Sounds like a router issue. Reset the router by inserting a pin in the reset hole at the back of the router and hold for 5 secs.

what happen if i restarted the router? will it restarted the whole configuration on my router too? like SSID and encryption?
but my sony C1905 still can detect that router

Yup.. Settings get reset. I think you should try and change the encryption password type to wpa from wep. Sometimes that stops devices from being detected.

Try forgetting the connection and put the password and reconnect again. If that doesn't work, try if you can access internet on a different wifi connection than yours.

hi
you should know what kind of wifi technology on your router or your access point
because the moto g 2015 support only 802.11 b/g/n (2,4 GHz)

Is this happening with all APs?
When I got a new router at home, all devices except my G3 connected just fine. I had to change the encryption type on my router to get the G3 to work. I still have occasional issues with connecting to some APs (including public APs) but not being assigned an IP #.
