Wifi connection connected but won't load pages

It said connected in the wifi setting and it shows bars but it just won't load any website in the browser .. anyone got a fix for this?

I have the same issue. Tried different combinations of restarting wifi, turning on/off cell data, on/off wifi calling, etc... all with no result. I've also tried on different networks (both public and private)-- it'd start working for a while and then all of a sudden stop and never work again.
Seems similar to the problem here: forums. t-mobile.c om/t5/T-Mobile-G2x/G2x-WiFi-DNS-issue-not-the-4G-switching-one/m-p/831439 (sorry there's a new user no link restriction)
Does anyone have any suggestions?
Thanks

is it specific to the browser or can you not move any data?
Idk, whenever I have had problems connecting to the tmo network, which is a separate issue.. it was always that wifi calling was still on even tho wifi was turned off. Every time I had probs w/ data on tmo network, it's been wifi calling.. Your case seems to be diff tho.
Is it specific to just your network or all other networks? Try shutting off wifi, reboot... then turn it on again? Idk.. just tossing out ideas.

Some found the root cause and I am posting his finding as I do have the same issue and can reproduce the error:
I think I have discovered a new WiFi-related bug in the G2x's software. I have witnessed this occurring on my phone, and have also reproduced it on a store demo unit. I believe it is unrelated to the switching-to-4G problem people are having with the My Account app, since it occurs even if I have set up the Google account on first boot after a factory reset.
The details of the problem are:
- Every so often, the phone randomly gets stuck in a state where it is not able to initiate any new connections that are made using a DNS name. Attempting to navigate to a web site, h**p://w*w.google.c*m for example, will result in a generic failure message.
- However, attempting to connect directly to an IP address instead of a DNS name works perfectly. For example, navigating to 74.125.225.16 will work fine and will load the Google home page.
- When the phone is in this state, using a DNS lookup tool such as "DNS Lookup" from the Marketplace *will* work, even when using the default DNS server address that the DHCP server is giving the phone.
- The problem has occurred for me when data is off and WiFi is on. I do not know if data being off is a requirement, since this is the way I usually run the phone, so this may be coincidental.
- Switching WiFi off and back on again will *sometimes* work to solve the problem, but sometimes will not. When this doesn't work, switching WiFi off, then switching data on, then back off again, and then finally switching WiFi back on again will occasionally correct the problem. However, I have seen situations where none of these things worked, and the only way to get DNS working again was to factory reset the phone.
- I haven't figured out the exact pattern yet, but this issue seems to occur when the phone has been inactive for a certain period of time. I have often discovered that the phone is in this state upon waking up in the morning after leaving the phone on the charger overnight.
- I have, however, found a method to reproduce the problem that seems to work fairly consistently:
1. Turn WiFi on, and data off.
2. Power cycle the phone.
3. When the phone starts up, start the browser and attempt to browse to w*w.google.c*m. It should fail.
4. Try to browse to 74.125.225.16. It should work.
Just wanted to get this issue in the forums to see how many others have been noticing the same thing.

I know that once the device has less than 10% battery it automatically turns the WiFi off to save battery power. Were the devices this was happening on have a low battery?

Fully charged. It even happens when pluged in with the charger.

My Wifi wouldn't even work if I froze it with Bloat Freezer. It has to run in the background for wifi to work. I found that Wifi can get really inconsistent with it disabled.

Same problem here. After about 30 minutes of being idle, as soon as I pick up the phone it tries to connect 2g/4g. The log are saying theres no connection, so it appears that wifi its going to sleep and not waking up so android is trying to connect 2g/4g
Really starting to be a pain
I have frozen the bloat, and I think the problem is getting worse.
Toggle airplane mode is a quick workaround to get wifi to wake up

Same thing happened to me, I did 2 factory resets, and it seems it has been fixed, don't really know what causes it.

This may or may not be related, but...
It looks like I found a hacky fix for the dns/wifi/4g bug: install "Set DNS" from the market.
Now when I go into market, and display my downloaded apps, it jumps from wifi to 4g then back to wifi as it should, fast.
Whether or not it should even do go to 4g is debatable, all I can say is my 2 Galaxy Tabs had the same behavior.
If everyones connectivity issues are really due to the DNS settings getting wiped out, then this will work around the problem until I/we find the location of the actual bug.

Would you guys having this problem also post it here?
http://www.lgforum.com/forum/boards/general/lg/topics/g2x-wifi-problems
Thanks.
I figure the more people that post there, the more the chances are of LG fixing it quickly.

Work around:
enable airplane mode
reboot
enable wifi
wait a few seconds after the wifi connects, background crap stops
disable airplane mode.
The set dns app looks like a winner. Haven't tried it but that's what's
wrong.
The freezing and other suggestions are all useless crap.

Updates...
I did a factory reset and installed JuiceDefender (I don't know which one worked) but it seems to be all fine now... will update if things become problematic again

I've been having this problem as well. I've always been able to fix it by toggling WiFi off and back on again. I downloaded SetDNS and when it happened again last night I tried that and it worked great.
Glad to see it's a software problem and not a hardware problem.

same problem here. hopefully it won't happen in cyanogen mod

This fixed the problem, at least until the next time I reboot my phone

How do you use SetDNS? This software bug in G2X reboots my router (DGL-4500) sometimes.

Question bout SetDNS app
Does the phone have to be rooted to use the setdns app? I try to use it but it says "Cannot get root. App will not function."

Nearby wifi portal causes constant reboots/restarts

Hi, I am trying to get an idea of how many people this is affecting.
I am on my second T-Mobile Galaxy S6. The first unit had a hardware camera defect as well as this wifi bug. I had them replace it and the new unit's camera is good but it has the same wifi issue. Here's what happens:
When I go to an area with an "open" wifi network, a notification pops up on my screen that says "Click here to connect to null." What's strange is I have almost all wifi features off, particularly "Network notification." It should not tell me when any network is available. I also have "Allow Always Scanning" off as well as Wifi Calling disabled (not that relevant). Anyway, once this happens, I have about 2 seconds to turn off wifi or else the phone will reboot. It's a "soft" restart though, meaning it shows the Samsung and T-Mobile logo then is back on again within 5-10 seconds and fully "booted" within 30 seconds. This will keep happening until I turn off wifi.
It's not just any wifi connection that will cause the issue. I think it has to be an "open" connection that uses a portal for authentication (think universities, hotels, airports, etc). Recently, I clicked on one of the notifications (connect ot null) and saw a Cisco portal. I am not sure if it's isolated to Cisco AP's
I have found about 4 people so far that have reported this issue. I am guessing we are not the only ones. I am guessing it's a software issue.
Have you seen this?

Yes, I have the exact same issue. Sadly I dont know why it's doing it or how to prevent it. I'm located in the Netherlands and when I click login the browser directs me to a KPN Fon login page.

I am very confused what's causing this. Can you confirm what settings you have enabled or disabled? Wifi calling, advanced switching, always scanning, etc? I disable everything and still get it. So it seems like it's not just Cisco login pages. It's also FON. Do you have any areas in your city that have public wifi hotspots with login pages like McDonald's or Starbucks or a university? It'd be great to see if it happens at those locations too.

I don't have wifi calling, advanced switching is disabled, always scanning is on, keep wifi alive in sleep is on. I will check when in the neighborhood of public wifi spots. to see what's happening. Only solution for me now is not using wifi, but that's not very desirable. Have you contacted Samsung about the problem?

Yes they told me the same things you'd expect. First they said to restart the device. Then clear cache. Then try safe mode. Then finally to do a factory restore. None of these items work. Just curious, is there any way you can easily give me a dump (plain text list) of your apps installed, in a PM? I wonder if it's something software related. I can do the same but I just need to find a tool that can do it.
Edit: I found an app called "List My Apps" in the Play Store. I can't link you because I don't have enough posts under my name. Hopefully I can send you a PM with my list to compare.

wifi null and reboot Samsung galaxy s6
I have the same problem like other guys. My S6 reboot continously when the wifi is on and I am I'm the City ( Zürich -Switzerland)
Then only solution was to switch of the wi fi.
Anybody else expierencing the same issue?
Regards

I'm having the exact same issue. AT&T Galaxy S6 in Southern California.

How do we get this fixed? It's not limited to a provider (that's good).
I already exchanged a unit for the camera issue. I think I am probably past my date for another exchange and quite frankly the first one was such a pain to go through, I'd prefer not to. Anyone have any ideas? I am guessing it's some sort of software issue. Something trips it up when the phone is near a captive portal.

I'm not sure swapping units will help. I did that but it didn't fix it sadly. I contacted SamsungNL and they told me to go to a Samsung repair center to show them the problem. I will try to do that next week. Until then, mobile data only.

Hi guys,
I have contacted Samsung UK and they told me to bring the phone back and ask for a new one. This is not normal and we need a replace.
In the meantime I have try to install FXR wifi Fix and Rescue from play store. Did a reset of my WiFi with this app and since then Its working everything ok. No more Reboots in the last 5 Hours. I was also in public and crossed a lot of open networks but did not report more this issue.
Give it a try.

Samsung UK support are idiots. Seriously, they tell you to return the device for software faults. I contacted them about the LTE signal showing incorrect in the settings, a clear software fault, they said to return the device.
Honestly, Samsung support is useless.

I think no way to stop it atm bcoz it is a software issue, we'll need to wait for an update. I think the baseband of wifi/bluetooth is still not stable, today I heavily played with bluetooth and got a soft reboot too.
Luckily, my HK firmware got no wifi calling and any bugs, my wifi is fine.

This seems to be working. I also ran it and it fixed the problem. I think this points towards a faulty wifi database or something.

Thanks for posting this. It's the first attempt at a solution I have found. I am going to have to agree with others and say that replacing your device did nothing to help solve the issue. I think its a software issue, perhaps with the wifi drivers or database. I tried running FXR but I won't know if it worked til I get near a captive portal. Keep this thread going guys. This problem is frustrating as heck.

So guys,
I am Happy. In the last week (After I ran the FXR app) looks like the problem is solved for me. No one reboot and any problem with. Null or open networks.

Got 920f model but im not sure is the wifi problem on my phone or not. Phone keep rebooting itself in my pocket. 10 reboots minimum during the day. Tryed flashing another rom but same nothing changet. Not sure its a hardware problem or software.

Will a replacement fix this issue? I'm about to do it tomorrow. But I'd rather not do it if it's not necessary.
UPDATE: I replaced the phone, it did not fix the issue. Seems like we need to wait for an update, unless I am extremely unlucky.

I took replaced my device, but for a real camera issue, not the wifi bug. I agree with Stolpler, running the FXR app completely fixed the issue for me.
For those new to this thread/issue, let me try to explain what's going on and why a phone replacement doesn't work.
The issue is entirely software and I think what's happening is that for some reason, a small amount of us have some corrupted entries in our wireless login database. We all know that if you get a new Android phone and sign into your Google account, all your saved wifi credentials (home, work, school, etc) will be automatically migrated over. That's why you don't have to re-enter your wifi password. For some reason, one of these entries must have gotten corrupted for some reason. Another possibility is for some reason, the way the S6 expects the data/format is different than how Android normally stores it. So say you had an entry from your Nexus 5 for a hotel login. Then now that you're on your S6, it tries to read it and it doesn't like the format so it blows up.
Now, the reason why a phone swap won't work is the moment you sign in with your Google account, it will transfer over your wifi database/settings. If you get a new phone but don't login (ever) to your Google account, I bet the wifi issue would not exist.
With all that said, really, go download and try the FXR fix. It works, it really does.

Bluetooth causing extremely slow wifi

So I've had my m8 since launch, about May of 2014. I've never once had a problem with my wifi, until last week. All of a sudden, I noticed all of my wifi connections (home, work, etc) are all extremely slow. Speed tests are barely getting 1mbps down or up, and the test itself is very erratic, bobbing up and down the whole time. All my other devices are fine, and nothing with any of my wifi connections has changed. I uninstalled about 3 apps that I had installed within the last month, with no change. Verizon sent me a replacement m8, and I got it yesterday, loaded up all my stuff, and low and behold, still slow wifi.
After talking with numerous Verizon techs, they can't solve it, even after multiple factory resets. However, this morning I saw a post while googling it, not an m8 but still android. They said that if Bluetooth is on, but not connected to a device, it could cause issues. So I turned my bluetooth off, and speeds were perfect, getting exactly what my internet connection is. Turned it back on, and back to 1mbps.
So one, why is this happening? I've read that the bluetooth and wifi antennas are the same, and that could cause interference, but it should not be this bad. Second, why did this just now all of a sudden start? I didn't usually leave bluetooth on, but I got a new car about 3 months ago, and decided to leave it on to automatically connect when I'm driving. But it was fine until last week, why the change?

Have you discovered anything new? I've had my Verizon m8 since April 2014 and have always left bluetooth on for my fitbit to sync. I only recently started having problems and can't identify any recent update that happened this month that would cause it. When bluetooth is on and a device is connected my wifi performance is very slow - 100+ ms ping, 1-2Mbps up/down doing a speedtest. Turn bluetooth off and speed test again then wifi performance jumps to 20Mbps up/down with 12ms ping times to the same speedtest server.
I have factory reset my phone 3 times, changed wifi channels, tried 2 different routers and 1 access point. None of the wifi changes affected speeds until bluetooth was turned off. It seems to be a little quicker 3-5 Mbps with bluetooth on and no devices paired but still that's not acceptable.

I too have had bluetooth on for months to be able to connect to my car, never had a problem until about a month or so ago. I did two factory resets, and everything seemed to work fine, but after a day or so, when all my apps were back on the phone, it would start up again. I have a hard time believing a specific app is doing this, unless it was one of the HTC Home updates or something.
Verizon sent me a replacement M8, I got all my apps on it, and the same thing, after a day or so it's super slow with Bluetooth on, horrible ping and less than 2mbps down and up.
So then I contacted HTC directly, did all their troubleshooting, factory reset, and it's still there. They sent me a replacement as well. I turned it on, but did not put my sim into it. I spent 2 days with it, and only downloaded the Speedtest app, nothing else. Speeds are fine with bluetooth on. I then downloaded the rest of my apps (I actually do have quite a few apps, so if it's one of them it will be a pain to figure out which one). It's been two days now and speeds are still good with bluetooth on. Later today I'm going to offically move over to this phone and put my sim in it.
It's just really frustrating to keep turning bluetooth off and on again, and there should be no reason for this to be happening out of the blue all of a sudden.

Strange issue, but from how you described it, it must be a 3rd party application. What I would do in this situation, is do the factory reset, and download 5 apps at a time. Until you narrow it down to the 5 apps that are causing the issue, then you can narrow it down much easier out of the 5 applications. A pain, yes. but once you figure out the app that's causing the issue, you may decide you don't need it, or you only use it once in awhile and can remove it, until you need it, or possibly download an app ops application from the Playstore and remove the Bluetooth permissions and see if that fixes it.
Best of luck.

Seems to help...
I just tried the solution offered in another forum (xda won't let me post the link so I'll copy and paste the information here:
Open page with the available "Wi-Fi" networks (Settings, WI-FI)
Tap on the "3 dots" in the upper right corner
"Wi-Fi Direct"
Tap on the "3 dots" in the upper right corner
"Rename device"
Replace "Android_ed2c" with "HTC One" (or whatever you want) and hit "OK"
Before doing this I had a 300ms ping when Bluetooth is on, and very low bandwidth. Now with Bluetooth on the wifi ping is around 50ms (normal for my home internet) and the bandwidth is back to normal. Time will tell if it sticks, but so far so good!

So I had been running all my apps on my replacement phone for about a week now, and have had no problems. The other day I officially swapped my sim card into this new phone, and for two days now, it's been fine. Bluetooth and wifi are on constantly, and I see no issues with bandwidth. So who knows why the last two devices had a problem, but for now it seems to be fixed.

Having the same issue, originally posted on reddit and then found this thread: https://www.reddit.com/r/techsupport/comments/3kv6z6/wifi_issues_with_multiple_phones/
Turned off bluetooth and it's fine... Will be experimenting with my gf's m8 this weekend.

Same HTC M8 issue - very slow WiFi when Bluetooth is running
Same problem on an HTC M8... speedof_dot_me speed test shows 96 ms latency with D/L at 0.07 mbps (really!) on an 11 mbps router. Turned off Bluetooth, and voilla! Latency dropped by 85% and WiFi speeds increased by a factor of 60! I suspect an HTC issue since an August or September update... since this wasn't occurring prior to August.

Verizon sent me a replacement M8 that was on 4.x.x android. I updated via on-air update (not rooted) to Lollipop and installed all my apps. Everything was fine. That night, it did a security update and, since then, my wifi+bluetooth were horked when turned on together.
Do, I did a factory reset (which doesn't undo the updates), but since doing the factory reset and installing just the basic Play-store updates 24 hours ago, the problem is not back.
I'm going to slowly add back my normal apps this time.

Solved on one plus one
Hello, i had since two weeks the similar issue. when bluetooth is switchef on (unconnected), wifi is very slow. in the past this different, so no issue with hardware and frequencies. Finally, I found out that it was linked to an App that accesses Bluetooth.
In my case it was the App Accu-Chek, I read in a big forum that it was linked to a Garmin app.
Uninstalling the App solved the issue.
My wife has a similar issue on Stock Galaxy S4 mini with that App.

This is definitely app-related. I tried force closing out of a bunch of apps that weren't related to the video I was playing and it seemed to fix the bandwidth issue with bluetooth enabled. Guess I'll need to experiment with closing certain apps until I find the culprit.

I was having this same problem. It looks like the RetailMeNot App was the culprit for me.

You sir deserve a cookie. Thanks for pointing out the worst app of 2015.

Solved on my Phone!
I used to have the same problem. I am having a Sony Xperia Z1 Compact and a Smartband Talk. At the beginning everything was fine but after sometime (strongly caused by a software related issue) I begin to face the same problem. While bluetooth is on WiFi bandwith dropped to a very little amount (around 0,02- 0,01 Mbits/s). Then I read somewhere, about how to verify whether it is a software or hardware issue via checking it in the Safe Mode. So I unpaired by smartband talk and uninstalled the smartband talk software (smartband talk requires a bluetooth connection for functioning). Then restarted my phone in to safe mode by tapping and holding the power off on the shutdown menu. I downloaded the smartband talk software and turned on my bluetooth and paired my smartband talk again. Then restarted my phone in to normal mode. And voila, problem solved.
It is not a guaranteed method but worth to try.
Wish you good luck.

Unable to activate Wifi calling on rooted carrier unlocked Pixel 2 on Verizon Network

Hello,
I have a carrier unlocked Pixel 2 walleye that is rooted (magisk, no custom recovery) and on Verizon
android version 8.1.0

when I try to activate wifi calling, i get the spinning circle for a long time, and then it finally says "unable to activate wi-fi calling. please try again later"
I have HD voice activated on my verizon wireless account.
I tried the VoEnabler module in Magisk
Wifi calling is turned on in the phone info screen (*#*#4636#*#*)
The only thing i guess i haven't tried is installing a Verizon ROM instead of the stock Google ROM.
Before I went that route, I wanted to check here and see if anyone else was able to get it to work for them.
Thanks in advance.

ok so i had this issue twice on the same phone and i am rooted as well. i think the only way to get it to work is to disable root, activate wifi calling, then reactivate root.

I have enabled this feature while rooted on 2 different PIxel 2's.

This sounds silly but turn off wifi and try to activate it. I've been unable to input my address during the activation process multiple times unless I am on cellular.

thanks for the suggestions everyone. with wifi turned off, it still won't work. I'll try the unroot path next time there is a new system update. It's not a critical need at the moment, but it is rather annoying that i can't activate it.

I don't think your problem is related to root unless it's a Magisk module of some kind that's the problem. I'm on Verizon, rooted with Magisk. I haven't had wireless calling turned on but after seeing your post I thought I'd check and see if it works on mine. It connected without any problems for me.

Did you ever figure this out?

I'm having a similar issue, except that I can enable wifi calling but always get the "Turn off airplane mode or connect to a wireless network" message when attempting to place a wifi call. Everything with regard to wifi calling is set up correctly. I thought I had this narrowed down to Oreo version and patch level, but I honestly can't come up with a repeatable scenario that breaks it. About all I can say for sure is it seems like when I flash back to bone stock, OPM1.171019.021, wifi calling works as expected. However, it seems to break after a while, even without applying any updates. My gut says it's related to root, but I've also seen it work with root. I also have a suspicion it has something to do with the type of authentication on the wifi network, as the first time I ever saw wifi calling work was when I connected to an open SSID. The problem is, right after that, it worked fine on a WPA2 network on which it never worked before. This is on Verizon with a Pixel 2 from the Google Store. I have a hard time believing it's a Verizon issue, though. It's more like the phone does a check for wifi connectivity and returns "false" for some reason.
*** I should add all my testing has been done by turning on airplane mode (thus disabling LTE/3G) and then enabling wifi. My office at work has horrendous cell coverage, but I haven't gotten it down to zero bars without airplane mode to see if it works then.

Mobile network internet access stopped working

Yesterday was like any other day, I took the bus to work and enabled mobile hotspot on my Oneplus 6 so I could do some work. On my way home in the afternoon, I did the same thing. This time however, I had exclemation marks on the mobile network symbol in the statusbar. Tried enabling hotspot anyway but there was network. Rebooted the phone but still the same issue. Oh well, I thought it was just my carrier then. When I came home to my wifi, I checked my carriers status information on their websites and there was no disturbances. Then I restored a backup which failed and I had to reflash the phone entirely with the latest pie zip. Today, I still don't have any network on my sims. I use two sims but they are using the same carrier. I also asked around my friends which has the same carrier and they have network...
I would understand if something might have happened when I reflashed the phone last night but that does not explain the sudden malfunction of the network on my bus ride home, the phone had worked flawlessly for a whole week.
This thread seem to be about the same thing and I tried the solutions regarding clearing caches and settings but it did not work:

Could it be something with the IMEI number? But it doesn't explain why it stopped working out of the blue. I can see both my IMEI numbers in the settings and I have also tried install Magisk 17.2 beta as suggested by another user. I think I still have a backup of the modem on my pc. However this is from when the network still worked and then suddenly stopped working.
TLDR: I have full reception, Calls and SMS work, there is just no Internet connection.

Just to be sure, datasave is turned off?

Yep, that is off. I have also reset my APN setting and double checked them with my provider, it didn't help.

No hotspot
I'm having a similar issue, I updated to android p stable and since then I can't use hotspot. It turns on fine and says devices connected but internet doesn't work on the connected devices. This seems to be an issue with Android P because my gf also has the op6 and I tried hotspot on hers before updating and it worked fine, then updated and it stopped working for her too. I have also tried clearing cache and manually entering the APN. I need to be able to tether to my laptop and tablet for work so anyone solution to this problem would be highly appreciated.
Thanks.

Although the problem I decribed in this thread isn't the hotspot problem, it was caused by my carrier. But I also have issues with hotspot, my laptop has trouble finding the wifi from the phone.
