I am new on here. I have looked and haven't been able to find anything on the internet that helps much. I am running android 4.4.4 Paranoid. I was using my phone this morning and everything was fine. I was connected to my home WiFi. When I went to school my phone wouldn't connect to internet. I would just say "searching..." I rebooted my phone and and the WiFi appeared and I tried to connect and it said "network connection failed". I can't figure out what is wrong. should I factory reset?, flash a new rom? (by the way I am not super smart and advanced on these kind of things so If your solution is complicated please provide detailed instructions.)

Since I rooted my phone using Unrevoked, applied UnrevokedForever, and updated my phone with an RUU
I cannot get my wifi connections to work. They connect to the router just fine, require my encryption passwords, obtain an IP address but if I connect to them it is as if I am getting no data whatsoever. If I try to connect to the marketplace, it gives me a network error.
As soon as I disable wifi, my data connections work, so my 3G connection is fine. I can turn on wifi tethering and it works fine too. I followed the directions from the following thread (I cannot paste a url without permission):
"OTA 2.2 Update With Root Made Easy"
What would cause this to happen? Does anyone have any idea of how to try and fix it? I've searched and searched, and I cannot find the answer. I admit that I'm a noob, but I have been reading a lot on these forums, and I'm wondering if it had to do with the radio flash, which scares the hell out of me.
Hej there,
tried to connect at work to our wifi router. First it was just searching for ip adress. After this Wifi turned of and just shower "error" down under the wifi activation point.
Now I`ve tried to reset to factory default and many other things. Everytime I turn my device back on I`ve the same message and wifi still doesn`t work.
Please help me. Its driving me crazy!
(sorry for my english... stupid german )
Thanks guys
1+ I'm having similar issues with the WIFI, but is it only on some routers (not all).
also interested in any help...
There`s something in the internet that says you have to delete the dhcp_list file in this folder "/data/misc/dhcp" but I don`t know how to connect from windows in the root system of my tab. I have rooted my tab but now I don`t know how to install apps without wifi. Anyway I had it rooted before and the root explorer doesn`t work
maybe someone hast good suggestions.
Is there any way to force a firmware update? Or is there another way to delete or reconfigure the wifi connection. I can`t connect to any wifi point
OK,... good news. Found a way to fix the Wifi Error.
Download Odin3 and the actual Firmware for you GT7p. Then put the device in download mode and connect to the computer. Flash the firmware again and then make a factory restore in recovery mode.
Here we go... on my device everything is working fine and i rooted it again.
Hope this helps.
Found the tutorial I used here in the forum. Just search for p6210 firmware and be happy
Had a very similiar problem just with my home router for 2 days (first time connected and remembered, but after that still searching and out of reach...). Always had to turn off router and turn it on. Battery was drained in couple of hours due to this. Then just rebooted and uninstalled launcher I was using and voallaa...Since then wifi works properly everywhere (btw with very strong signal in comparison with any other device I had before).
So dont't know exactly what happened, but so far so good...
Hi all,
I have a Galaxy i9000 and it won't connect to wireless. It used to connect just fine, then one day it stopped working. I ignored it for a while (3G still works) and once I finally got around to trying to see what had happened, I could see that the phone does connect to wireless networks (at home and at work), but once it had authenticated to the network, it would fail at "Obtaining IP address from <network name>". There's no error message, but the phone just sits at that stage forever. Not obtaining an IP address makes it pretty hard to connect to a wireless network
I don't know what happened to make this problem occur, it's been about a month now since it happened. I have AdFree installed on the phone, that writes to the hosts file, right? I suspect that it may have been a hosts file update which had caused this problem, but I'm not sure.
Does anyone have any suggestions as to what may have caused the problem?
Thanks!
what about reflashing your phone?
so you have everything stock
if this doesn't solve the problem then contact a service, or if you have warranty, just send it back...
same problem
The funny thing is is have exactly the SAME PROBLEM ... SINCE the same time?!?!

Hello , did anyone solve the problem ? My I9000 wifi problem apeared today. thanks
same "authentication problem"
Well after i flashed custom rom (android 4.0.4 -SmoothieICS-v2) i can´t connect to wifi any more. But mobile data works perfectly.
And before flashing custom rom ,wifi worked jsut fine. phone is Galaxy S Plus I9001 .
So, before rooting, my One X had great Wifi connection. No issues. Now that I'm rooted, I can't connect to wifi to save my life. I tried the wifi fix (not the ROM, but the 3 files instead) and still nothing.
I've tried turning off Mobile Network while wifi was on, turning mobile network on while wifi was on, tried restarting the wifi....
I cannot get a connection to the Store, browsers won't open webpages, it's essentially done for. Yet every other device in my house can access the router just fine (and it's not just here, it's elsewhere.)
Anyone have any ideas how to fix this short of flashing the new ROM (which I can't do from my house since the HTC drivers always fail to install.)
Have you tried running fix permissions to see if there's some sort of error holding things up? The only other thing I could think to do is to do a factory restore of the phone, unfortunately...
So a few weeks ago I received an update ota for my nexus(unrooted). Everything seemed normal until I tried to connect to my school wifi. Before the update the wifi worked fine at school. For some reason when I try to connect now nothing happens,it says connecting for about a second then it's just blank as though I hadn't tried to connect to it at all. I have deleted the network and tried to reconnect and it still doesn't work. I have also factory reset my phone and still no luck. My wifi still works at home too. The first time log in onto the school wifi gives a prompt that asks for user id and password (not web based or internet pop up based login) through the android os, it is a one time login. Any ideas ?
Thanks in advance.
