Since the update my WiFi will not stay consistently connected to my home network. Sometimes I have to go in and force it to connect. I have deleted my connection and created a new one. Any one else having this problem?

I just flashed to jelly bean 4.1.1 on my verizon GS3. I can't get wifi to stay connected. It continuously rotates between "Authenticating", and "Saved, Secured". Eventually it gives up and just says "Disconnected".
View 6 Replies View RelatedI got my Vibrant yesterday and hooked it up to my WiFi (netgear g-router). Everything worked great for about 30 seconds. I was able to jump through a few pages and then it stops loading eventually I get a message with something to the effect of "cannot connect to server, please try again later". This is not word for word. I called t-mo support and they were not able to find anything so they are sending me a new Vibrant, but I have a feeling that this problem will persist. I read through different posts and found a few that listed this problem some suggested:
-Download the WiFi Fixer app from the android market
-Switch the router settings from B/G to just G (I don't remember what mine are set to now, but I'll try this out when I get home from work).
If I really have to switch my router settings, what will I do if I'm traveling and have to use a hotel's WiFi hotspot or something? Does anyone have any ideas about this? I have no problems with my WiFi on my MyTouch 3G, so I'm not sure if this is a Samsung issue or an Android issue either way, I either have to figure out a fix or get rid of the phone.
My incredible pairs nicely with 2011 hyundai sonata bluetooth system and will connect but after one phone call, it disconnects from system and wont reconnect. I clear system on both phone and car but still does the same thing. unpaired and start from scratch but still does the same thing.
View 4 Replies View RelatedI listen to music at work with some Bluetooth speakers. I also occasionally connect to WiFi while at work. Since the Froyo update if I am connected to both Wifi and Bluetooth while listening to music, the bluetooth will turn itself on and off over and over again. This did not happen to me prior to the Froyo update.I guess my question is, can we not be running and be connected to WiFi and Bluetooth at the same time with Froyo?
View 2 Replies View RelatedI'm upset, folks. After months of trying, I STILL cannot find a single instant messaging app for my HTC Eris (2.1) that will STAY CONNECTED.I primarily want to connect to MSN (Windows Live, whatever they call it now) as well as Yahoo and AIM, though if I could only get MSN to work I'd be satisfied. However all the apps I've tried (ALL OF THEM!) behave the same way. Each one will connect, and either not show me as online to the rest of the world (verified my by gf), show my friends as not being signed in (when they actually are), and randomly disconnect me and NEVER RECONNECT ME unless I manually bring up the app on the screen. It's as if the apps have no connection to the IM's servers, or reality itself.I have tried MSN Talk, Meebo, Ebuddy, Nimbuzz. Each one of these claims to automatically reconnect if there's a problem, but NONE of them ACTUALLY DO. No matter what, I drop off, I'm shown as "signed out" to the outside world, and the apps will only reconnect (or pretend to reconnect) when I manually bring the app to the screen.I would expect that any IM might disconnect if I went out of signal range and came back, however this happens even when the signal is strong and uninterrupted. And it NEVER reconnects if I leave the phone alone. ONLY if I manually bring the IM app up does it even go through the motions of a reconnect.I can try messaging people even when it looks like it's connected to the server(s), but over half the time, the messages don't make it, because it's not REALLY connected at all.Again, this is using ALL IM apps I've tried so far.I refuse to believe that Android has ZERO working IM apps available, so... is there one that actually works properly? Is there some setting or tweak that will "keep-alive" the connection? Is there a problem with my Eris? Or... are there really no working IM apps for Android?

I had this happen with an LG Chocolate before and had to get it replaced.
My Droid shows my Mac computer under Bluetooth Settings > Bluetooth Devices >. I can see it listed and it says "Paired but not connected". I then, on my Mac under the BT control panels, see "Droid" listed and it is also "paired but not connected."
Well, when I tell my Droid to "connect" via Bluetooth Settings > Bluetooth Devices > press my computers name (or long press and select "Connect") it grays out and says "connecting" and then my computer shows it as "connected". But, in a few seconds, the Droid reverts back to "Paired but not connected" and the Mac then also goes back to showing the Droid as "Not Connected".
I want to try this app that allows me to use my speaker and mic on my Mac to take and place phone calls, via BT, on my Droid - but I can't get the 2 to stay "connected" via BT. They pair, but wont connect. It pairs perfect with my car instantly every time.
What: make Android greedier with 3g. Don't switch off of it until wifi is associated, has an ip, and can ping the internets i.e. the wifi icon is blue
What device: I have a rooted Atrix 2 with ICS leak ROM (build 67.21.125 by timmytim v1.2) on AT&T if that makes you happy. Is this relevant? Even GB does this
Why: a lot of wifi access points suck and it takes greater than zero time for the wifi icon to turn blue. During this time voice search won't work, browser won't do crap, etc because Android is greedy the wrong direction and has already routed all ip traffic through wifi which isn't ready yet
When: this is especially a problem when I'm walking across campus with less than perfect wifi coverage, or when I try to do something on the internet in my car outside right before heading to work (what did that email say?) where there's enough signal to associate but is poor enough to not get my phone access to the tubes (let me waste 30 seconds by switching off wifi to see...)
Why: because I want uninterrupted internet access and AT&T makes me pay for 2gb even when I only use 500meg
How? You tell me. I spent 15 seconds searching all 18 yottillian pages on the internet and nothing came up in the first three results on Google or here, therefore it doesn't exist. Maybe you know where I'm not looking? Maybe I can cross-compile iptables into my ROM and use/make an app for logic? Maybe I can buy 8 billion wireless access points and distribute them evenly across the globe and give people everywhere free internet like they deserve because it's 2012 not 2002?
I just connect my evo with my home network, and it finds network ok and everyting. I even see 4 WiFi signal bars on my evo screen, but no Internet connection. I am using my laptop through that WiFi now without any issue. I am using netgear WGR614 g/bwireless router.

View 2 Replies View RelatedI am trying to conduct a bit of research before starting to develop an android application I am planning. I want the application to exhibit the following behavior:
If connected to WiFi, send and receive messages to remote server.Else If not connected to WiFi, do not send any messages. Display error message.

I wanted to give Android a try after having an iPhone for about 4 years now (1st generation iPhone). I decided to go with a used "China" phone - Hero h300 because I didn't want to splurge and find out that Android wasn't for me. So far I do like it but I am running version 2.2.1 (Froyo) and am having an issue with the WiFi connection. I'll initially connect and after a random span of time it will start failing to load pages when browsing or the market will report that there was an error (or lost connection) even though the phone still shows a WiFi connection.
I do not have a data plan and am using WiFi for connection and have setup the phone to use the WiFi instead of Sim data connection. I use WPA/WPA2 PSK security for the wireless network. If I turn off WiFi and turn it back on (on the phone), it will reconnect and work for a while but the problem comes back. So while I "surf" the internet or Market, I have to constantly turn the WiFi on and off.
What can I check or try to resolve this issue? I actually had bought this phone because the iPhone's WiFi was going loopy (it would just scan and scan and scan and never find any networks - even if it was literally sitting next to the wireless router) - so it's kind of ironic that the main problem I have with this phone turns out to be it's WiFi
I have a Droid X running Gingerbread, and there is one particular WiFi spot that seems to hate me. It's a WiFi router owned by a friend of mine, WPA encrypted. I have the SSID and the password, I can connect to the router. And my network icon turns blue indicating that I have a connection to the Google services. But I can't browse the web, I cannot send/receive email and I cannot use any other app that uses data. Another friend with an iPhone has no problems. My iPod Touch has no problems, but the stuff I want to use is on the Droid.
Two additional kickers to this: My late and unlamented Blackberry had the same problem His router is the same brand (and I think model) as mine and I have zero problems with mine.
I live in India. I had purchased a new TP LINK wifi + modem router last week. The modem works great as I access internet using my PC ( ethernet connection broadband) . I tried connecting WIFI using my android, but even when connected I don't get internet on my device.
Here are some screenshots of my modem settings page ( when my android galaxy mini is "connected to wifi, (no internet though))
Status :See my android phone in list of wifi connected clients
And in that WAN tab, why that PVC0 status is down?
In LAN settings photo modem shows my device android connected to modem, but still no internet.
Is it possible? I don't seem to be able to do it.
View 22 Replies View RelatedI send files to FTP server in my application. Internet permission is set :
<uses-permission android:name="android.permission.INTERNET"/>
It works quite fine when connected with 3G/3G+. Sometimes, not very often, I get a "SocketException no route to host" or "unknown host" exception when trying to connect. When I'm connected with WIFI, it works sometimes and it's very fast, but the same error occurs very often, and when it has occurred I must restart my WiFi to be able to connect again, even with webbrowser. I use apache commons FTPClient this way:
ftpClient.connect(server, 21); ftpClient.login(user, password);
ftpClient.changeWorkingDirectory(directory); ftpClient.setFileType(FTP.BINARY_FILE_TYPE);
BufferedInputStream buffIn = new BufferedInputStream(new FileInputStream(file));
ftpClient.enterLocalPassiveMode(); ftpClient.storeFile(file.getName(), buffIn); buffIn.close();
ftpClient.logout(); ftpClient.disconnect();

It looks like having forgot something that makes connection down after several uses of my ftp program, but what? And why does this work quite well (but not always) with 3G/EDGE connection?
Is there a way to fix this? I have WiFi set to never sleep and it is connected. Why is 3G even trying to connect when I am on WiFi. I know 3G trying to find a signal will kill my battery because my signal is really bad at home.
View 9 Replies View RelatedI read the other posts about WiFi but mine seems a little different. This just started happening a few days ago. I understand that when the phone goes to sleep it shuts off it's WiFi thats fine although I'd rather it not but eh whatcha gonna do about it. The problem I have is that after it wakes back up it says that it's scanning for networks. I have a lot of WiFi networks in my neighborhood and none of them show up. The work around I've found for this for the time being is to shut the WiFi off and then turn it back on. When I do this it connects back to my WiFi and life goes on.

View 7 Replies View RelatedI recently purchased a GTI-i9000. GPS on it is terrible and I have ready many forums with other users experiencing the same problems. I was thinking, and wanted to clear up a cloudy understanding. On my previous phone (iPhone 3G), when I was not connected to WiFi, I was still able to browse webpages etc, albeit slowly. Is that called GPRS? The form of data?
On my Galaxy, I cannot do this at all. If I am not connected to a WiFi connection, I have 0 internet. I'm just wondering if this is the cause of my dodgy GPS. Is there a setting i need to change or does the SGS not do internet if you're not connected to WiFi. I live in Australia if that helps at all.
Is it possible to use the cellular 3G data network while connected to WiFi? I want to create connection through the 3G network while WiFi is also connected.

When I connect to WiFi (home WEP and open), it says I am connected - shows IP address etc., but nothing actually works through the WiFi - can't sync Exchange email, can't download from market, won't even update location on Google Maps. If I switch WiFi off everything works fine over mobile network, but that is unsustainable due to data charges.
View 5 Replies View RelatedI've had my desire for around a month now & had no real problems with it, flashed it with a stock ROM initially & then rooted it a couple of days after the root was released. When I woke up this morning I was connected to my WiFi network but when I tried to load a webpage, nothing happens, it comes up with the stock 'Web page not available' page. I tried a couple of web pages but got the same response, I thought it might be my WiFi network but when I got to work, exactly the same thing happens. I can connect via GPRS when I disable the WiFi with no problem. I've been using Y5 Battery Saver for the past two weeks, not sure if that's relevant. Is this a standard error / known bug, how would I go about fixing this, not having WiFi is obviously a bit of pain!
OK, installed a Terminal emulator over 3G & ran a couple of commands, including dmesg. From the output of dmesg it looks like the WiFi connects but then something goes wrong, here's a brief transcript:
pfn: set ssid = ******
Link event
Link UP
Enter set packet filter
start to add pkt filter 101
wds: 0021 @ 01
qmi: wds: network stopped
rmnet_stop()
wds: 0022 @ ff
qmi: wds: DISCONNECTED
If this is any use, I'm happy to try other commands.
I just got my Droid X two days ago and absolutely love it but it is having major wi-fi issues. It will connect, show me in every possible way that is connected but will not let me use the connection, e.g., browse the web, market store or any other type of internet/intranet connectivity. Is there any fix for this? Is it a software issue or hardware issue? Should I wait for the updates from Motorola or should I (and really don't want to) return it for another Droid X? If returning/exchaning it is my only option is there a way to backup all the apps/settings for my phone since I spent a lot of time customizing it already?
