My VOX has stopped communicating to my router. This appears to have happened since I accidently deleted profile but that could be co-incidence..
It sees my network...
Settings VOX
Net type INTERNET
Auth WPA 2
AES
USE IEEE 802.1x YES
AEP type: Smart Card or certificate
Settings WAG200G nothing really relevent here except to say AES as above.
My phone seems to connect WITHOUT encryption but when I add encryption (with real simple password) this is where the phone can't connect for some reason... My laptop is still connected to the router without any problems there is no MAC filter or anything like that.
Anyone please help!
BTW tried hard reset not helped.
i have the exactly same problem. i tried other kinds of config on my router but nothing worked.without encripton or password it connects...
Not connecting to WIFI
Seems more people have this problem?
WPA2 does seem to be a problem. Personally I also use fixed IP, but never got my phone connected to my home network.
@work I use WEP and DHCP, no problem connecting.
@home I use, as mentioned, WPA2, AES, Fixed IP, router.
If anybody got a simple answer...?
btw, I got this problem after using other roms(for almost a year now). Basic HTC rom (WM 6.0 :-( ) seems to work fine.
Half connected in fact
Hi, I'm also getting a wifi problem after installing the RUU_Vox_HTC_FRA_1.34.406.1_4.1.13.54_03.10.90_Ship ROM (and thus resetting everything in the profile), but I wonder if it's really the same thing.
My phone connects to the wifi, gets an IP (both the phone and the router show the same IP attributed), but PIE and Outlook Pocket can not use the network. It's just like they couldn't see the network. But they don't use Edge either to connect, so they probably somehow try to send data to the network,but they fail.
Oh, and WEP encryption changes nothing. And I can't test with fully removing the encryption, as I use an internet box, not a standard router.
What I don't get is that I was browsing just fine on this ROM and the same config in my router I wish someone with more knowledge would spare a minute to help us out here or at least point us in the right direction
Solved
I upgraded the firmware on my router... :d thx
I know there are a lot of threads about wifi problems on this site, but i cant seem to find one that has helped me.
My problem is that i am trying to connect to my orange broadband router through the wifi on the Zest. It requires a WEP key which i have, and have entered. Although my desktop PC connects to the router with the network key but uses it as a WPA-PSK key with TKIP encryption. I have also tried to connect my Zest using WPA-PSK but have been unsuccessful. It accepts the key (both as WEP and WPA-PSK) and says that the source is 'Available', but it will not actually connect to the internet. I have tried connecting to another hotspot next to my library (which does not require a key) and have been successful, it becomes available and then connects and i am able to use web browsers via wifi, as usually when i open the browser at home it automatically connects to GPRS/3G, which then costs me extra on my contract.
Any help or suggestions would be deeply appreciated.
noobish error - forgot to press the button on my router that connects new devices
FYI to other Newbies
This can also happen when the user selects (usually inadvertantly) the "WORK" option under "connects me to . . ." section in the wifi setup. When this is selected and all the other settings are set to "my device connects me to . . . 'INTERNET'", then one could have the encryption password correct and have their entire network set up correctly, but the device will STILL fail to connect. Thus, the "connection to" in the wifi network setup and the network adapter, and one's router must all "agree" or connection will not take place.
Has anyone had a problem with the Captivate when in both WIFI and 3G coverage the phone will not download or open a webpage? If I shut off one or the other it works but if both are active it hangs up and doesnt download.
Is this by chance on an enterprise wifi access point? Such as one of those expensive cisco APs you find in schools and enterprise class networks? If so, there is currently a driver problem with the captivate connecting to it, but not trasnfering data. Whether the netwrok is encrypted or open doesnt seems to matter. Personally, I find this a bigger problem than the GPS issue. I had to use wifi static to manually set IP, subnet, etc. This is a workaround, not a fix.

Hey, I think I'm running into this issue at my workplace (we definitely use those Cisco APs, I see them all around). I'm connected, I have an IP, but I can't browse anywhere.
Here's the weird thing though: I can connect to the company's wifi in any other building (I guess different APs?) than the one I'm in and wifi works fine. It's just the building my cubicle's in that doesn't work and it's infuriating!
well thats dumb.
I had that happen once since I bought the phone on launch. I restarted my phone and it went away.
I've had this problem as well, usually my phone switches to only wifi pretty quickly though, so I don't notice much. The phone acts like it is using the 3G connection because the arrows are both indicating data coming and going, but nothing actually happens unless only one or the other is on.
i need to check this at more places but at home i have a standard dlink dl-624 router with no security over comcast. i think my issue initially was because of the wifi sleep policy (see below) but now i am just getting really really slow speeds. pages seem to load slower than 3G....(i mean really cinemaxHD is showing last of the mohicans in pan and scan)....also the pages time out very very frequently.....
Anyone having problems check out the advanced setting for wifi. The phone has a WIFI sleep policy. my default setting was to disconnect from wifi after the screen locks. my screen locks after 30 seconds. so basically it always looking for my network. you can change it to never.
I want to reiterate our findings again. There are multiple threads on other forums concerning this as well. When it comes to wifi, the captivate has a major problem. DHCP does not work on enterprise networks. Period. It is a driver issue. The network can be open or using any form of encryption, the results are thr same. I had numerous software, hardware and network analyst tackling this issue all week in my department. It is related in part to most enterprise networks not using a default subnet mask of 255.255.255.0. There is a workaround, but it is not a fix. You can either set a static from your static pool of ip's in wifi settings, or, if u connect to multiple networks, use wifi static from the market to remember and apply seperate static configs accross multiple networks which is what were having to do currently. This affects all captivates, one which we consider a major problem with deploying this phone to our other users.

I had the same problem and this is how a turn around the problem when I'm connected but cannot browse.
-Use Wifi Static
- DNS from google 8.8.8.8,8.8.4.4
- switch to airplane mode
- activate wifi
- test my conection (open the browser and surf)
- switch to phone mode
Hope it help

Did this, Wifi Static was being used previously to bypass dhcp, and it correctly assigned the IP settings, used the static I assigned from our static pool of addresses. Still no data transfer over Cisco APs at work.

are you able to access a website thru his IP address? in this case it's a DNS problem, try the Google DNS 8.8.8.8 - 8.8.4.4

Its hit or miss really, seems the wifi radio stack locks up and stops responding according to our trace logs. yes i have tried both our internal DNS server's as well as googles. Everywhere else works perfectly. But at work with our Cisco open (no security) APs, it doesnt work most of the time. Through whos ip address??? I have a static set from our static pool to make sure dhcp was not the culprit. Its def the device, and not my netwrok. I have over 100 of these APs deployed here.
Wifi works great everywhere else (at home with WPA2, etc). There is def a problem with enterprise cisco APs.
Netmask issue and cisco AP's
Posted this over in development thread.

Make sure your netmask is correct.
Thanks jhannaman82
I just wanted to give a big thanks to jhannaman82 for posting his company's findings with these wifi issues. My wifi works 100% at home on my linksys tomato router (of course, with a netmask 255.255.255.0). But on my college campus they use an enterprise router setup with 255.255.0.0 and I have been going NUTS trying to figure out if it is my captivate or the network.
I can sometimes get a few minutes of working connection, but it always seems to crap out within 1 or 2 minutes.
I will attempt to fiddle around with switching the dhcp to static IP, and will post my results. Thanks!
edit: no luck with static IP fiddling so far. from my laptop (connected wirelessly), I gathered that the netmask is actually 255.255.248.0... when I set my captivate's netmask to anything other than 255.255.0.0, it does not connect. It says "connected" when I set the netmask to 255.255.0.0, but as usual no data will transfer (it seems). I'm at a loss. *shrug* Hopefully there's a driver update or something.
Thanks jhannaman82!
I just wrote a script with the GScript app: "ifconfig eth0 netmask 255.255.255.0", and have a shortcut on homescreen. The problem was that the netmask was wrongly set to 255.255.0.0 on my office wifi. Now all I need to do is tap on this shortcut at office, and the connection works!
Has anyone contacted Samsung about this ?
I'm hoping this gets fixed soon... This refuses to stay connected at my school. Huge pain.
I entered in an IP address and 255.255.252.0 for my netmask after seeing what it was on my computer and turn on flight mode and tested the wifi and now it's working. I'm not sure if it's just one of those fluke connections that I get... but we'll see.
Need a little help. My G-tab is running current VEGAn-TAB rom. I am having problems getting the wifi to actually connect. My icon shows a good signal, and inside the wireless settings I am showing connected to my wireless network. I also went to advance settings and made sure wifi never sleeps. All apps that need internet connection (market, browser, etc.) show no data connection.
Used yesterday with no problems. My laptop is running on same network and working fine.
Any ideas?
have you restarted? Sometimes happens to me too but it's nothing a simple restart can't fix.
Yes. Restarted several times. Didn't work.
Oddly enough I have a Airave from Sprint to boost my cell phone signal, and it may have been the problem. When I unplugged it and returned to my G-Tab later the Wifi was working. Not sure why.

Could be competition on the 2.4 GHz frequencies. Some wireless phones and even microwave ovens can trash a wifi connection.
Moved to general
Anyone else having WiFi problems with Vegan? Since installing this mod, I can only connect to a WEP signal and not a WPA-secured network.
I can't connect either. Trying to connect to a wep wifi and it stays on "obtaining ip address from ..." but never completes the connection. Any help?

No problems with home WEP, office WPA2-PSK and several wide open public ones. I just wish the damn thing would auto-connect to the ones I have been to before.

My only guess is, if its a 5Ghz N Router you should check to see if it allows
2.4Ghz signals and not just 5Ghz. The GTAB doesn't seem to support connections at 5Ghz.
I just changed over from TNT Lite(latest version) and was able to connect fine but I didn't like the interface and some of the features. I've loaded Vegan tab 7.0.0 and I was able to connect at work (802.1 EAP) network but I can't connect to a wep wifi at home (were several other pc's are connected and working fine) and it stays on "obtaining ip address from ..." but never completes the connection. Any help?
I have a Linksys wrt300n router and have confirmed that it configured to accept 2.4Ghz & 5Ghz signal and have rebooted several times with no luck.
I don't have a lot to add to help you troubleshoot, but I can say that I am running VEGAn Gingerbread RC1 with pershoot's latest kernel. I am able to connect at home on a WAP2-PSK (Linksys Linux based G/N) at home, WAP2-PSK at the cabin (Linksys's cheapest G/N), and at work on a 802.1 EAP network (Cisco).
I has some unexplained issue mounting the internal storage on a computer. After a little head scratching, I started to wonder if it had something to do with the custom kernel I was running. I flashed Pershoot's latest kernel and my problems went away.
I mention all that to suggest that you might try flashing a different kernel and see if you get different results.
I have an issue with vegan where when i reboot the device (or turn off and turn on) wifi is off even if left on when turning off, i have to manually turn on wifi after every boot.

Have you checked to see if you're using MAC address filtering, and if so, that your gTab's MAC address has been added to the whitelist on the router? I get the feeling that that may be the issue. You have the WEP key on your device, but your router's still blocking it. I'm running the same ROM you are, and have had absolutely no troubles connecting to my work network with 802.1 PEAP, WPA/WPA2-TKIP and AES at home, and multiple makes/models of access points/routers.
Hmmm. Just reread your original. Now I'm wondering if you have enough DHCP leases available on your router. If you're out, you'll have to wait until a lease expires or add some more to your scope of addresses.
Hope some of that helped in some way...
Hello,
I'm having the "Obtaining IP Address" issue, where it just tries and fails (over and over). This only happens at work (works great at home, in hotels, starbucks, etc.).
Protocol: WPA2-Personal / AES encryption
SSID is broadcasted on channel 6
It is _not_ restricted by MAC address.
I do not have any control over it, so cannot reset/reboot the router, and IT dept offers no Android support.
My devices (both fail): Asus Transformer Prime (unlocked/rooted ICS), Samsung T989 Galaxy S2 (rooted Gingerbread)
I can connect to it just fine with my windows laptop, so I know the WPA password I'm using works just fine.
Things I have tried:
1) Reboot device
2) Forget network, add network manually
3) Use static IP (connects, but can't actually go anywhere)
4) Delete /data/misc/dhcp/dhcp_list
5) Delete /data/misc/wifi/wpa_supplicant.conf
Just says "Obtaining IP Address" - then fails, then scans, then tries again. This is true on both devices. Once again, works fine with Windows laptop.
Does anyone have any idea why this would happen? Given I have absolutely no control over the router, is there anything else I can try?
Thanks a lot in advance!
That happens to me sometimes and idk why it does it either, says obtaining IP adresse over and over again but never says connected, I was trying to connect to a wifi hotspots in a resturant and it did that, tried next week and it worked, pretty weird
