HI all,
first of all i want to thankyou all for this awsome site and keeping the good work going.
I need some help with wifi setup.
I tried to setup my wifi with my 8125 using wifi companion and wifi fofum and both detected my network and connected to it successfully however, when i try to connect to the net using internet explorer a msg pops up saying that "cannot connect" Dialed +some number and then it says No modem at above number. To check connections settings change them if needed. I upgraded my rom to the latest one from cingular how ever i never entered this number which it is showing. Can some one help me with this issue and tell me what should i do.
thanks in advance.
Ps:- I tried wifi companion and wifi fofum separately not together.
thanks.
sounds like internet explorer is trying to connect to gprs or cellular modem or somthing.
you need to go to settings, connections, advanced, select networks, and make sure the drop down lists are set to "My Work Network"
Also check under setting, wireless lan, powermode and move the slider all the way to the left for best performance. I cannot connect to any routers when it is in the middle (the default setting). I have no problems connecting anywhere with it set to best performance.
Hi,
It seems that my 1S have a wifi issue.
I can successfully connect to a wifi network, but every 2-3 sec signal is lost, then the wifi icon in the status bar disappears, then it reappears and reconnect and so on.
I am running an unlocked german tmobile (from ebay), SW version 1.77.111.5
Is someone else having the same issue?
I dont have a device which is in that connect-disconnect loop, but it does not hold onto the Wifi signal, it seems to want to fall back to using 3G/HSDPA if it can, and only after a few mins of data on the 3G/HSDPA connection does it attempt to connect to Wifi.
Does you Wifi AP broadcast its SSID? Are there many devices on the same Wifi channel as the one you are using? Use Wifi-Analyser to find out.

I'm having same issue - anyone found a solution.
It is really annoying, as quite often when I go to refresh email/facebook/twitter/ etc its says cannot update (or whatever app error), but if I wait a few moments again, it works. Really annoying when playing Draw Something, as it interrupts the game!
Any ideas - is it phone, or is it something on my router??

I was having this exact same issue. I went into settings, Wi-Fi, Menu, Advanced, and checked the "Best Wi-Fi performance" option and ever since I have had no problems.

Ok i think i had the same issue and i read in some threads around and you can try this:
1 - Connect to your wireless network but in settings disable DHCP and assign an manual IP (and you can disable the "best WiFi performance" because it drain lots of battery.
2 - Take out the SIM cover and pull up with care the contact pins for better connection with cover
Now i have a strong wifi signal without drops, before this i was thinking in return back my 1S but not now.
Sorry my bad English
If i help hit the "Thanks"

I decided to attempt this manual configuration as well...and it works great! Very fast login, and my network speed even seems quicker (although it probably isn't, but who knows)?
But I had a few problems along the way, but managed to fix them. Here is what you need to do:
First, before you do this, you need to use any network info app to see what your wifi router gateway is. You can pick an IP number based on that number... [Also, while it is unlikely anyone did this, you should confirm that the router doesn't do any MAC filtering (this just means the router will only connect with specific devices based on their wifi radio unique ID number... it's a overzealous way to prevent someone hacking your router and it prevents any non-authorized device from associating with it).]
Once you get that info, change the setting under wifi connect from DHCP to "Static", and below this, enter the gateway and a IP number based on your gateway... Most routers have NAT configurations that allow ~100 or 255 devices, like 192.68.X.2 thru 192.68.X.255 (or 10.1.X.2 thru 10.1.X.255) where the IP number where X=1 is typically the gateway. So just pick a number where the last number is between ~10 and 50 (just in case your router hasn't allotted the full 255 addresses). This is a good range to choose from because if your router has DHCP on (which is typical), your household probably does not have more than 10 or 11 devices connected at any given time....so you are picking an IP address at the end of this range.... So for instance, if your gateway is 192.68.1.1, pick a static IP address of 192.68.1.11 or 192.68.1.15.
Below this enter "24" for Network Prefix Length.
Below this, it has boxes for DNS servers. I ran into some problems here. I figured that since my wireless router has DNS servers already configured in its settings, I could skip this (it lets you hit connect without entering then). You can try this, and it may work (depending on your router/setup), but when I left them blank, I noticed frequent reconnections and no signal really at all.
In my case I had to enter DNS server addresses. I already had purchased an app called "Set DNS Pro" (there is a free version though) so I used that to select publicly available DNS servers. If you don't want to use the app, you can enter Google's DNS servers, 8.8.8.8 and 8.8.4.4, or check with your ISP to use theirs (which they prefer because it is easier to keep track of or control your web browsing).
So my takeaway from this was that if you do not enter DNS, you might have problems.

Dear All,
I have just bought the Samsung Galaxy Core GT-I8262 two days back. I have setup almost all necessary software using my mobile service provider's 3G network. However, I am unable to setup the wifi. The scenario is - when I am searching available wifi networks through my phone, it is detecting all the available networks among which I am choosing the unprotected one and the phone is getting connected to that w/o any problem. However, all the available wifi network that I may use requires proxy server to access to the internet. So, I am going to wifi setup menu and trying to "modify network config". There when I am selecting the "manual" option under "proxy settings", the "save" button is getting disabled an I am unable to proceed.
What should I do in this circumstance where the Wifi network requires proxy servers. Please help me.
- Sam

Maybe you should use the proxy in
accordance with the wifi.
Yup agree, you will have to use the same proxy and port number as that of the wifi.
Hello All,
I am trying to connect to my work network with no luck! Prior to the one plus one I had a Nexus 5 that connected with no issues. This is what happens:
1. Choose connect (password is saved)
2.The text under the SSID goes from "connecting" back to "saved" in less than a second. The signal bars show 3 then drop to 1.
I've tried forgetting the network, flashing different ROM, kernel, modem with no luck.
Turned off "Avoid poor network connections" and "Wi-Fi optimization:
With the Wifi analyzer app the connection is steady around -60 to -50 dBm. If I try to connect using the wifi analyzer app it just stays on "Authenticating". I know the password is correct, I've re-entered it multiple times.
The wifi network is using the 2.5 ghz band, channel 1, and WPA authentication.
I haven't tried connecting with a static IP, however I might try this next.
Any ideas, this is driving me nuts! Plus all the iPhones around me get to brag!
Thanks in advanced.
I'm having the same problem, and it also seems to stumble connecting to data networks. I have been toggling airplane mode on/off and it then finds the wifi and data networks. This is annoying as hell, when it should auto find and lock any network it has remembered and passwords are correct.
Does anybody have a fix, or is there a radio that can be flashed to correct this?

I'd love to hear any resolutions to this issue as well... I posted this in the oneplus forums recently:
"I am having this problem too with my mom and dad's OPO . But what's funny is that it doesn't happen to my OPO. This sort of rules out any WiFi/router/network issues. Is it possible that certain installed apps on their phones may render the wifi to be unstable (e.g. permission settings for these apps?) Any help from the community is appreciated, thanks... this is an annoying problem for them as it drains out their LTE data!"
I have the WiFi K1. When I'm at work - I can choose 2 different WiFi networks to connect to - 1 is guest access and is unsecured, the other is a secured network which is for employees and their personal devices. Up until today there was no issue. I was able to connect to the secure WiFi network using my ID and password. Yesterday afternoon my password changed. So this morning, I "forget" the network, then reselect it, add my ID and my new password. But the "connect" button stays grayed out and I can't tap it to connect. I went into the reset settings to reset all the network settings - that didn't work.
Anyone have any ideas why the "connect" button is staying grayed out and/or what I can do to try to resolve it? I have a OnePlus 3 cell phone - and that hasn't had an issue - I was able to connect this morning using my new password.
Thanks ..
