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

[Q] Same WIFI problem as Galaxy S4?

Hi
I just got my Nexus 5 yesterday and could not connect to the WIFI at work. People at work with Samsung Galaxy S4s are also unable to connect however the S3 and my Galaxy Nexus are able to connect fine.
There's two networks: a Guest network that doesn't require a password and a network that requires a password. I am unable to connect to either. The phone will say "Connecting" for a couple seconds and go back to "Saved". At home I'm able to connect fine.
I was wondering if anyone else is having similar issues, or know of a solution. If anyone had an S4 and now a Nexus 5 are you able to connect to networks you couldn't before?
Thanks
Jeff
This will be an issue with the network not the phone.

No connectivity to only 1 LAN PC

Hey so I rooted my Nexus 5 recently and pretty soon after I noticed that I can't connect to my main computer on my LAN. I use apps like airdroid and it refuses to connect over LAN mode and goes to remote mode. If I use terminal and busybox to send out pings, I can ping my router, along with most other devices on the LAN, but just not this computer. Firewall is turned off for testing purposes. I use apps like XBMC remote almost daily so this is become sort of a nuisance. I had a Galaxy Nexus before and it didn't have any of these problems. Any ideas?
I dug out my Galaxy Nexus and tried it again. Same issues. So I'm chalking this up as more of a network issue than a device issue. Still, anyone have any ideas as to why this is happening?
Sorry for the triple post guys. I solved the problem though. Turns out it was just my ****ty Telus all-in-one router acting up and was refusing to forward packets to my computer. Rebooted it and all is good again. Suppose this thread can be closed if that's something you guys do here.

[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.
