(Solved) please Help WiFi

ok i did a search for WiFi problems everyone else's problem seems slightly different then mine
or not the same in the least
here is my problem
First i have NO data Plan so i turn 3g/4g off
then i Turn on WiFi and it works till i turn it off or reboot the phone
THEN even though it still connects to WiFi and my router says it's connected
i get no data throughput
no amount of resetting, deleting my router profile, rebooting phone, rebooting router, and messing with everything i can find INCLUDING setting my router to OPEN, changing the channel, changing from N to G or B from 40 mhz to 20
NOTHING works
EXCEPT
resetting phone to factory default
then it works again TILL i turn WiFi off or reboot/restart phone
any ideas ?
.

ok you can ignore this it has something to do with turning off the network 2g/3g/4g
I'm not sure what the setting is causing the problem, as I'm still looking into it
I'll post here when i find the setting that is causing the problem
in case it will help someone else
UPDATE:
ok under "Mobile network settings"
you can not turn off "Data enabled" (Enable data access over Mobile network)
why this affects WiFi i do not know as it should ONLY affect 2g/2g/4g
Because it says "Over Mobile network"
but it turns off WiFi data also
If i find anything else that effects WiFi I'll post it here
but for now this is the solution to my problem
PS: it's nice to be able to solve your own problem
PSS: don't call T-Mobile for help they will say you need flex pay or better plan to use WiFi, i hung up on the stupid bass-turd,
not to add to the fact it's super hard to understand their mangled English!
.

i got that problem last night, during my open box and testing the phone, all you have to do is reset the phone, then you are set to go; hope it works for you.

thanks for the reply
i found out what i was doing wrong
and edited my post
so others can not do what i did
thanks for the reply though

Maybe they did this on purpose to keep you from using the device with out a data plan. Who knows.

Has anybody tried to connect to a Time Capsule?? I cannot get my G2X to see my router for nothing. Is the G2X compatible with a N router??

maybe you should open your own thread about this ?
i do not use "Time Capsule" and not sure what it is (A router?)
to answer your last question the G2X supports Wi-Fi 802.11 b/g/n, DLNA, Wi-Fi hotspot. so yes it supports the "N" standard
BUT
might not be compatible with ALL b/g/"N" routers
should be compatible with them all BUT might not be ...........
i am not an expert on routers, so cant say for sure
also could be that your router is to far away from your phone
your phones antenna is tiny, so has to be closer to the router then say a laptop or computer.
you might also want to consider going to a friends house and trying their wireless router.
anyway opening your own thread on this is your best bet

I have an airport extreme broadcasting mixed n/b/g and mine is really struggling. At first I thought it was the browser, but now it's doing it in both dolphin and the stock browser. It stalls a lot, connection seems to stop and restart. I already disabled wifi sleeping on the device. Pretty frustrating. Oh and mine is setup as hidden with no security on it at this time so that isn't the issue.

WiFi problem with finding access point

Hi,
I'm a new owner of TF700
I've turned it up and have to say that I was impressed.
Right after that I encountered a problem with WiFi not finding my router (WRT54GL). The router's WiFi works (it is normally found by my PC, HTC One S, iPhone on daily basis). The TF700 finds tons of WiFis in the building except mine.
I also tried to manually add the WiFi and I just get-not in range. I tested if the WiFi works with creating a hotspot on my HTC One S and it worked.
Did anyone encountered such a problem/has a solution?
Thank you!
Sent from my HTC One S using xda app

Hi,
I got the same problem after updating my TF700 to version V10.4.4.20
Is anybody has it resolved?

SSID gone on my Transformer
I have the same problem. Before Cyanogen mod 10 on my Transformer 101, my Netgear VVG2000 WPA2/PSK encrypted wifi ap worked fine, but after mod installation I can't se my SSID. It works fine on my SG2 and I can connect and see other wifi networks. Can it be because the MAC address has changed and the router blocks it or...? I also tried to change encryption mode to no avail. It has happened once before with a laptop and a never NIC software fixed it.
Hmmm...

What channel is the router using? If you are in the US and it is 12+ you may have and issue with it.

Wifi drops in/out since Lollipop update?

Wifi working fine on laptop and wifes phone. I noticed that mine was dropping in and out since I updated to Lollipop on my Xperia Z3 two weeks ago. Today,its really bad-wifi icon displays for about 10 seconds then drops out for about 10,then comes in again etc. Reset the router, changed channel, no joy. Anyone else experience this?Anyone got a fix?

Tried deactivating stamina?

Yep, it's deactivated. Still doesn't fix it. It's very annoying. Only noticed it since Lollipop update. Anything else I can try?
EDIT-Just been reading online that baby monitors may interfere with wifi.......I've 2 baby monitors for my toddler and newborn......would this be causing my wifi to drop in and out???I've tried all 13 channels on my Sky broadband router but no luck....

My wifi drops in/out when the signal is poor so it may be related to the babyphones?

I've turned the 2 baby monitors off and wifi on z3 still dropping in and out. What next?? Is my phone damaged?

Try safe mode (Long press the power button, then long press the power off button onscreen, click ok) and see if the problem persists.
Have you tried different routers? Have you tried turning laptop/wife's phone into a hotspot and connecting to that? Get an app like wifi analyser and see it looks like your wifi is acting normal there. Is wifi turning off or is it just disconnecting from the router (the icon might be misleading).

It's staying on now in safe mode, thanks! But why is that happening? I did a factory reset as I thought phone was broken! Pity, I should have waited for your advice!
Edit, unstable again. Coming in and out.

Tried again this morning in safe mode. Problem still there. Wifi turns on then icon goes off and it searches and connects again. Then goes off etc. I downloaded wifi analyser but don't know what to do now?? I'm not very tech minded.
I'll look up how to turn laptop into hotspot. Thanks for your help so far.
PS -I just remembered that the Bluetooth on the phone kept connecting and disconnecting in my car this week.... Would that have anything to do with the wifi issue?
EDIT- downloaded virtual router plus to use laptop as hotspot-problem still there,connecting then disconnecting. Is the phone broken?

[Q] Wifi Issues

Hello everyone. I have been having a wifi issue lately and I'm hoping someone here can help me out. I can connect to my home wifi and surf the internet, use Facebook and watch Youtube and use some other apps. Lately however, I am not able to use apps like Pandora, Slacker, 93.9 The Beat, POF, OkCupid and MeetMe. I'm sure there are others as well that I haven't tried yet since this issue has started. I can also connect to xfinity wifi (I'm not sure who's that is) and all of the apps work fine. I am on the stock ROM, S-Off and unlocked running Android 5.0.1 If any one could help, it would be appreciated. Thank you in advance.

Do you use a proxy at home? I know some apps don't work well with proxys...
Change anything recently on your home router?
Did you say everything works FINE on xfiniti wifi?
Xfiniti Wifi is a major cable operators wifi. You'd need to have access to their services to use their wifi.

Hello bigblueshock. I have not made any changes to my phone/router/modem. I have shut them all completely down and restarted them and that did not help. And all of the devices are up to date. Yes everything works fine when I connect to Xfinity wifi. I have ComCast/Xfinity cable and internet. I'm not sure if it's my Xfinity wifi I'm connecting to though. I have signed in on a prior occasion and I was connected, so maybe. But when I try to connect to my wifi (the one that I know is mine) that is when I have my issues. It was working fine up until recently. I am not using any proxy.

If you're connecting to a different WiFi (such as XFINITI) with no problem. I'd say there's a high chance somethings going on your end... whether it be router/modem related.
One way to test is to connect another android device to YOUR network, and see what happens... Possibly even an Apple device. Any friends or family have android devices?
If the router is one comcast provided.. maybe they pushed an update to it which messed up something.

I have an old Samsung Omnia II that is running on Windows 6.5. When I connect to my home wifi, Slacker Radio works fine and so does everything else on the phone. It connects directly to my Netgear wifi it does also show xfinity wifi as available as well. But it doesn't have the app like my much newer HTC One M8 has. My M8 does show my Netgear home wifi and that is the one I'm having issues with. It seems like it's my M8 that is having the troubles.

If you are at your own home you shouldn't be on the xfinity Wi-Fi side. You should be on your private network.
