Trouble sigin in wifi network - Samsung Gear S2

I was able to sign my wifi network (wpa2-psk) but after login it will give me error.
Unable to connect to wifi network. Sign in procedure not supported.
Anyone know a way to fix it?

Just for testing, switch yout WLAN to WEP.

WPA-PSK works for me with my Cisco access point for what it's worth.

WEP doesn't work, my home router and office all got the same problem. But if i open AP hotspot from my phone it works...

Is your Network visible? Try what happens if it is visible. Another Test, try your WLAN open without Encryption.

Yes visible, tried open also won't work. Its weird only work if i AP from my phone. Other wifi network will let me pass thru authentication and i see the obtaining ip message and connected but after few sec it will give me the "Unable to connect to wifi network. Sign in procedure not supported".

Wifi Connection
Having the exact same problem. Anyone able to troubleshoot this matter

After the last update Gear S2 WiFi connection support passwords long not over 12 characters.
Before update I was connected to my WEP (13 HEX couples of characters, that is 26 characters). After update I cannot succeed in connecting any more.
I asked to Sumsung support and they suggest me to shorten the password...
Now I have shifted to WPA encryption with password long 8 characters and now the Gear S2 connects with no issues.

I too am having wifi connection problems. I have the Gear S2 AT&T model SM-R730A
I was getting the message sign-in procedure not supported and what I found was, since this device has no browser to input the login- username and password, you get that message.
Really Samsung? You stick a wifi radio in this thing but can't connect to most wifi's out there.
Went into my Samsung account and synced my wifi logins from my phone to gear S2 and now they are saved on the gear S2 and it logs in without the message (not supported).
Only problem is, it says it's connected to the wifi, but nothing works on that network from the gear. Still not logged in to the wifi network I believe. But then why does it say connected.
It works great on a wifi network that only requires a password, but as you know most hotels and other hot spots require username and password in a browser.
I do not have a sim card yet because if I can't get the wifi to connect and work, I'll probably sell it.
Anyone have an idea what to do next? That includes you SAMSUNG! And YES I called your service techs and they are pretty much clueless about the Gear S2.

You are mistaken.
You have to turn BT off to get wifi to actually turn on. If BT is on and connected, the watch will use PAN for networking, and not turn on the wifi radio.
Turn off BT. Shortly after, you can see APs listed in the wifi section of Connections that the watch is receiving. If you tap on one that is not already saved, it will prompt for a password that can be entered with the tiny keyboard.
If a saved AP won't connect, tap on it and hit the FORGET button. Then follow the above procedure.
Keep in mind that as long as BT is turned off, you will be connected "remotely", so notifications will be slower, and some functions are not available (controlling media on the phone from the watch, for example). Also, if you have a 3G version, outgoing calls will use the watch standalone number over 3G, not the phone.

Thank You for responding, but you must be missing something from my post.
Bluetooth connection to phone must be in standby mode, not actually turned off and then wifi will put it into remotely connected status. At this time you are able to connect to wifi networks that only require a password. I am able to do this much and it works fine.
It's when it needs to be authenticated (an open wifi with no lock shown but needs a username and password entered) as with most public wifi, and that's when it gives the sign in procedure not supported error even when synced wifi profiles from phone have been saved to gear s2.
I hope I'm missing something here but I've been working on this for awhile and nothing seems to work. Samsung techs are useless as we are on our own and I do appreciate any and all help.
Thanks Again!

no ravenjim, you are correct. I have the same issue at my job. We have an open wifi here at my job which allows all the employees to connect to using their phones or tablets and even personal laptops. However once connected you are taken to a AT&T welcome page with our company info and logo and are required to just hit connect. Once you click connect you can surf the internet with your personal devices.
So since the S2 does not have a browser I get the same error "sign in procedure not supported". Sucks but oh well

Does anyone experiencing low wifi signal on your gear s2 classic (wifi only)?? I did some test with my other samsung device in same position and get maybe 3 or 4 signal bar, but only 1 signal bar on my gear s2 sometimes no signal at all.
Is there any solution for this bug yet?

yes before the last update on my gear s2 classic SM-R732 everything was fine, now with the latest update R732XXU2CPC4 i can't get login to my wifi networks, and also the battery is easier to get drain, usually 1,5 days with several push notification, auto wake up gesture ON, moderate Heart Rate, brightness level on 7, watch faces using classic with black background + grande dial + date, but now i must charge the phone every 6-7 hours with the same setting, already factory reset the phone and still got the same situation. Is there another way to fix this rather than waiting the new updates? If possible i'll choose the previous firmware/software on my phone

I am having a similar problem with my WiFi connection, gear s2 was connecting fine to my home and work network for about a month now with no problems, suddenly today the same error msg posted here is appearing whenever i try to connect to my wifi at home, i did restart both phone and watch, also changed my wifi setting to visible and shortened my password, all with no luck, still getting same error msg...
Still got to try to reset the watch... Will that wipe out all my watch faces? Probably will... But if that doesn't fix it I won't be able to send my watch faces back from my PC, which is why i wanted to connect remotely in the first place, so i can install a new watch face...
Any suggestions?
Anyone solved thos problem?
P. S. I have a classic non lte version

Okay, how can we connect to public wifi at a library, mall, xfinity/comcast, starbucks, etc. where we are normally redirected to a browser to accept terms of service, or to sign on using account credentials before connecting to their wifi?

I requested that my work manually register my watch's mac address on the network, so it is saved as a device that has access. So you might want to reach out to your network team for a solution.

A question about using public WiFi. Is there any security risk to the watch in addition to the phone?

Can I set WM TP2 to only retrieve emails using wifi?

Just got back from France, I have been connecting to wifi over there, but emails still seem to be retrieving using 3g which has cost me £10 for a few minutes! if I turn off data connection it seems to turn itself back on, is there anyway to only retrieve by wifi, in the end I was using my daughters ipod touch for email (have to say what a delight to use - simple to set up, smooth, and held onto a wifi signal really well)

Use the app No Data. It will turn off your data connection and the phone will only be allowed to connect by wifi or not at all.
Thanks Denco, I have installed it, but cannot understand how it works, nodata shows "mobile web & o2 active" I have disabled these, can I now exit the application? I have turned off Wifi, but I can still send emails/browse, is this correct? will it block all 3g traffic or just when I am roaming, allowing me to use my 02 network when available?

Wifi issue - constant reconnection

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.

[Q] No "Push" email/messages going from wifi to data

N5 4.4.2. Straight Talk
It seems to be doing this the last couple of weeks. I get emails/hangout/email notifications fine on wifi, go to data, I can still use internet, but have to manually refresh email and hangouts to get new messages to appear. If I step back into wifi then everything starts working normally again.
Any ideas?

In general your phone will update the server again to it's new IP to PUSH to. When you are on WIFI you are on your network and attached to whatever IP your ISP leases you. When you are on 3G/LTE or whatever your phone is getting a leased IP address from the carrier so the server will need to connect to your phone different. Since the server only updates once the client connects it wont know till the "heartbeat" is sent again or you manually refresh.
By default the heartbeat slows down after some time if it hasn't gotten any new messages in a while. So it may start off at 30 seconds then slowly drops down to 10mins (think this depends on the server). Once a new message comes in, the server pings your phone and tells it to connect for a new message and then your phone downloads and starts over the heartbeat again.
When you change IP addresses by going from WIFI to LTE it should update the server but maybe there is a bug or something that it's not working correctly. I haven't tested this scenario on my device so i can't be sure but that's how it's supposed to work.

No notifications on S2 in WIFI mode

Hello,
I have a Gear S2 3G (ATT) and a Galaxy S7. I havent activated mobile data on the watch (thus no ATT number is associated with S2).
Problem: The watch connects to WIFI automatically when I lose Bluetooth connection with phone (ex: out of range). But, WHEN BLUETOOTH CONNECTION IS LOST, AND WIFI KICKS IN, THE WATCH DOES NOT RECEIVE ANY TEXTS, EMAILS OR NOTIFICATIONS. ALSO, SENDING TEXT DOES NOT WORK IN WIFI EITHER. (All watch functions work flawlessly when connected to phone via Bluetooth , by the way)
To date: I have checked all notification and application settings on watch and phone. Numerous level of restart sequences and resets (light and factory) have been tried. The only unresolved issue is "Remote Connection" cannot be turned on in the Gear app on phone. I have spent several hours with Samsung support and read ALL of the post in the internet about S2 connectivity issues (many posts) . One post suggested freezing overnight!!
Does anyone have any resolution suggestions before I send my Gear S2 to Samsung for a hardware/software check?
Sorry for the long post and thanks in advance for your responses.

MS web site login.live.com rejected over WiFi networks

My Samsung Note8 SM-N950F/Android v. 9 can log to MS login Web site OK via 3/4G networks. And it can open other web sites on mu home WiFi Network.
But, when trying to login to MS over my home WiFi Network, login.live.com page indicates that the site is not accessible, asking to check if the login.live.com address is correct, with error message: DNS_PROBE_FINISHED_NXDOMAIN . Idem with my second Note 8 phone. Connecting to my neighbour’s WiFi network: same issue with MS login.!
Tried with Chrome, Edge and Firefox browsers on same phone: idem. On MS support site found other users with Samsung Galaxy 8 S and Huawei P Smart phones report the same issue.
But my son's OnePlus 6T Android v. 10 phone can login to MS without any problem over my WiFi network. And no problem with my Win10 PC via WiFi either!!!
What is the reason? Android version 9 vs 10, WiFi configuration on the phone, or phone brand related issue??
Please Help!

Delete & re-add network
Delete a Wi-Fi network from your phone
Open your phone’s Settings app.
Tap Network & internet And then Wi-Fi.
If needed, turn on Wi-Fi.
At the bottom, tap Saved networks.
In the list, tap the saved network that you want to delete.
Tap Forget.
Add the Wi-Fi network again
Open your phone’s Settings app.
Tap Network & internet And then Wi-Fi.
At the end of the list, tap Add network.
If needed, enter the network name (SSID) and other security details.
Tap Save. If needed, enter a password.
Check for problem apps
The problem can be from an app that you downloaded. To find out, restart your phone in safe mode.
Turn on safe mode. Learn how to turn on safe mode.
Try connecting to the Wi-Fi network again.
Open your phone’s Settings app.
Tap Network & internet And then Wi-Fi And then the network name.
See whether the Wi-Fi connection works in safe mode.
If the Wi-Fi connection works in safe mode
A downloaded app is most likely causing the issue.
To exit safe mode, restart your phone.
Uninstall recently downloaded apps one by one. See whether the connection works.
After you remove the app that's causing the problem, reinstall the other apps.
If the Wi-Fi connection doesn't work in safe mode
Likely, there's a problem with the Wi-Fi network or internet connection.
Hope this helps.
Regards,
Bruce
Hi Bruce,
Thank you for your advise. I already tried everything what you told me to, and it still does not work I tried this also on a brand new Note 8, without any additional apps installed. I can modify DNS1/2, but the SAVE button is greyed out, so the modification can not be registered !
Just had a chat with Samsung France technical support, asking them whether DNS change can or can not be done in their phones, and received the response that to modify DNS I should contact Google and not Samsung !!!
GOOD NEWS !
Searching Internet I found an excellent article concerning DNS modifications under different Android versions:
https://www.androidpolice.com/2020/03/26/make-android-use-dns-server-choice/
I followed it's recommendations for changes in My Note 8/Android 9 (pie) and MS connect worked flawlessly when I selected either Quad9 or Cloudflare Private DNS!
I found there was also another solution: from Google Store download and install DNSet application (others also available). After starting it overrides current DNS Setup and all performs perfectly.
However, preferred using the first solution for safety reasons.
Best regards,
Radivoj
