ok not sure when it happened but, when i connect with wifi it shows both the 3g and wifi symbols and i cant go to any web sites or download, but i can connect with my router. tryed forgetting the settings and connecting again, same same.
i have rebooted the phone by battery pull and tryed to cycle by airplane. i have also tryed diffrent access points all doing the same thing. 3g and wifi symbols show and will not send receive data. except I can access the router configuration.
any ideas??
thanks
Try either rebooting or reset the 3g by cycling in airplane mode. Sometimes mobile data will freeze on the phone and wont allow wifi to connect.

I have no idea what caused it, but just tonight my phone stopped being able to connect to my home wifi. The wifi symbol in the status bar shows that it is connected, and the phone sees my router but when i try to activate skype it asks me if i would like to use a cellular connection as apparently my wifi does not exist.
Any ideas ?
reboot your modem and router, turn off wifi on the phone until it is back up, then reenable the phones wifi, see if that helps.
No dice. I reset both, the symbol shows me as being connected on the phone but when i load up Opera and try to go to a web page it says 'Connection closed' and Skype also isn't working.
Okay so that's strange. For some reason my HD2 set itself to a Static IP. I went into the Broadcom settings and changed to server assigned IP and it's working again.
Technology is a pain sometimes !

For some weird reason my does a similar thing about every 3-4 days. Nothing changes, it just decides to not connect however resetting the Netgear does the trick (not ideal but does the job).
Other dissapointing thing is often it cant pick up or has poor signal around the house in certain rooms but my wifes bloody Iphone picks up signal everywhere lol (i still convince her, the iphone is inferior)
I'm running Cyanogen 7.2 stable on my Droid 2
It seems I cannot successfully transition from wifi to 3g, or from 3G to wifi without hard resetting my phone. If I turn wifi on, then hard reset the phone, it will connect to my chosen access point, I'll get an IP address, and be able to use internet. But when I go into wifi settings and disable the WiFi, it will claim to connect the 3G but I will not be able to connect to any internet site. The notification area will show 3G icon in white, but never turn cyan to indicate a successful data connection. Trying to turn on airline mode does nothing, and the phone will not go into airline mode until I also, turn it off and turn it back off. Then it will reboot into airline mode. A simple soft reset doesn't seem to solve this problem, I have to preform a power off, and then turn it back on.
Conversely if I set it to use 3G and hard reset it will successfully connect to 3g and work fine, but turning on wifi will result in a connection to the access point but no actual data tansfer. Just as before it will show the connection option's icon on the notification bar will show the WiFi icon but it will say white, and never successfully connect. Alternately wifi will connect and the drop the connection repeatedly.
I've looked all over here, and Google for any working solution but I haven't seen any. Mostly just people having trouble connecting to a specific router, which I DO NOT have. Specially the hand-off to 3G and back seems broken and I have to do a hard reset 100% of the time to change from wifi to 3G and back.
Could somebody point me in the right direction for a solution that hopefully won't involve wiping my phone?
Hi all.
I have a problem with my nexus 4 that the cellphone has no connection to the internet. It returns to normal and can get to the internet after reboot, but after a few minutes it has no internet connection again.
I have tried flash the 4.2.2 & 4.2.1 factory images again but it does not work.
I have checked the APN setting and i'm sure all setting are correct. btw, it has internet connection after reboot but only a few minutes.
The SIM works well on other cellphones, but all SIMs i borrowed have the same issue on my nexus 4, so not about the SIM.
In the phone status, i see Mobile network type: HSPA:10, and Mobile Network state connecting
if you have any ideas how to fix this, appreciate all your helps.
Same problem with you. Sometimes it keeps using 2G network sometimes or even no internet connection sometimes after turns off the wifi unless I reboot the phone.

You can turn the airplane mode off and then turn it on instead of reboot, but this doesn't work for me. My cellphone will soon lost the internet connection untill reboot.
Hey folks, Im having a very weird issue.
I can't find / connect to Wi-Fi spots when I'm having no mobile signal or when I'm in flight mode.
As soon I have mobile data and a carrier the wifi accesses appear.
This is so annoying because at home I'm in a low signal area and sometimes my wifi crashes and then the wifi can't connect again because of the lag of mobile signal.
I attached some. Screens.
I tried to reset the network settings, no success.. But I don't wanna do a factory reset..
Any ideas? Never heard about that kind of issue. No matter which phone.
Ok found a solution. I removed the WLAN - n support by changing the router and now I finally can connect to the wifi without sim card or mobile repection.. Due the N thing my router didn't show in the menu without having signal.
On days, I hav tried to connect to WIFI network of Moscow Metro Stations. I tried it before and everything works. But suddenly I started to have issues while connecting. I can't find out the reason. I tried to reset all, hardware format, restore with factory images nothing works. I contacted to support of the WIFI, they say that there's something in phone that switch to mobile data instead of wifi as for Accessing to wifi, it redirects to page where I need to view some adds. I looked at wifi preferernces and turned off Smart WiFi Switcher. I tried to turn mobile radio off, airplane mod nothing works. What to do to get WiFi work in this situations ?
