Not able to connect to school wifi - Nexus 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

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.

cannot connect to internet anymore!

internet worked fine on 3g, til a week or two ago when i tried to get mms settings to work....now it will not connect at all, it will work over wifi fine but when it tries to connect via 3g/gprs it says cannot connect....the settings are 100% correct, used exactly the same tutorial as i did originally to get it to workand they had been working for a month previously, even tried the network operators config file but that doesn't work any more, i deleted all the MMS connections i tried to make also! i don't want to do a hard reset though........so is there any thing i can do? thanks in advance
Try turning the unit off completely, not reset hard or soft. Wait a few seconds and turn back on. Then see if it will connect.

[Q] WiFi strange behavior

I got my daughter her tab 7.7 about 6 months ago & had been going on perfectly. Android version is 3.2 & I have no easy measures to update for the time being.
For internet connection she uses only my WiFi secure connection. It was working fine all this time.
Today she can't log to her Facebook account via the Facebook app. I checked it out to find that I can log in via the browser but not the app. I thought it may need updating and tried Google play store but I was astonished to find it not working too as it gives me "No Connection. Try again".
I noticed that the WiFi mark is white & not showing the green strength marks, but connection is confirmed by the WiFi name. I was shocked when I tried the software update from "about" when it gave me the "no connection message" despite working WiFi connection. Samsung app is working perfectly & I can update its applications.
Also funny thing happened, when I tried the browser it kept giving me certificate errors many times.
I tried the VPN as I googled around but nothing changed. Same problem.
Switching off & on didn't help either.
Any Clues??
Thanks
Most strange thing happened.
Everything is back to normal without me doing anything.
I left the tab for a while while writing the previous post.
When I came back I found the app update mark showing up, I turned on the WiFi & touched the update icon, the strength signal showed in the WiFi & update started the goggle app. All went normally. Facebook app worked & even the browser certificate errors disappeared. The software update in the "about" worked fine & checked & found no updates.
What is going on...
Can anyone explain to me what's happening?
Thanks

Try Power Cycling your modem/router. That often corrects connection issues. Presume other devices were connecting just fine?

WLAN only working with WPS for me

hey guys
today i received my n5 and i am very happy of that fact!
but at beginning i still have an issue - or hopefully not
model s/n 310xx
everything gone fine since starting the setup guide where it comes to connect to a wlan network. there are several listed in my region including mine (all are fritz boxes)
when i try to connect to any network and it comes to enter the password - i do
but then when connecting it does nothing, as if i pressed cancel
after that randomly the networks getting a status of "deactivated" - so the device is not even trying to connect to any
i got rid of it using the WPS method with my router and could connect, but that cant the the solution. i would not be able to connect to any network without WPS?!
i am still running the forced update at beginning (my connection is very poor over wlan and traffic of my h+/3g is gone before..)
so i hope it will be solved after update... but has anyone else made any experience like this?
after update all is fine. thread can be closed

[Q] Internet Not Working

Hey everyone,
So, I was using my nexus 5 in my university over wifi and it was working all fine and then all of a sudden the internet stopped and I couldn't browse or use any app that requires an internet connection. I switched off my wifi and turned over to my 3g connection and the problem was still there that is it would connect and everything but it wouldn't allow me to browse or use any such application, I tried restarting the phone, clear the cache through recovery, gave it a soft reboot but the problem still persists even with the wifi that I have at my home. I have tried opera and chrome and both of them are not working, neither is whatsapp, facebook or anything that requires an internet connection. Chrome says "erro code: DNS_PROBE_FINISHED_NO_INTERNET" while opera said "DNS lookup failed" and the same error comes over both wifi and data network.
Would really appreciate if someone could help me with it cause I need the internet to work on my phone as I can't carry a laptop everywhere. :/

try turning off your router for 3 minutes then turn it back on. about your 3G.. have you called your provider?
I take it you have turned off the phone and back on?

[Q] N5 5.0.1 Wifi not remembering to save my home network. Have to re-enter password.

For some reason my phone won't remember the password to my home network. When I disconnect from it, it never actually saves it. If I click the network to connect, it prompts me for the password again. This seems limited to my router here, as other saved networks seem to connect automatically just fine.
Any suggestions? My laptop has no problem auto-connecting, nor does my OPO.
Try rebooting your router as the first step, even though other things connect.
