Galaxy s4 4.2.2 connects to wifi, but doesn't use internet??? HELP - Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Hi all
My friend has a galaxy s4 and it will connect to his WiFi network, but when he goes to like, for example, go onto the web browser, it will say he is not connected to the net!
Its not our internet that is the problem either! Because other devices connect and use wifi.
Thanks

Try forgetting the wi fi network on the phone, then reconnect to it, re-enter the password and see if that helps.

Hi,
My friend has already tried that.
His problem is very strange
It will connect to Google on the web browser.
But if he opens Facebook it will not connect to the internet

WiFi not connecting to hotspots

My WiFi has suddenly stopped connecting to hotspots. It works just fine at home but for some reason it won't connect to the Starbucks next door to my work. Any help would be greatly appreciated

try downloading the advanced wifi configurator. or when u connect, go to your browser and accept the terms and conditions (usually hotspots have a simple page that lists the conditions, once u accept you will be able to use the internet)

I'm using wolfbreak CM 6.1.3 v06. The only problem is that my WiFi symbol doesn't show up & when I go in the browser it doesn't take me to the page to accept the terms. So I use my data from my ATT plan. Sometimes it works & sometimes I keep seeing a pop-up saying WiFi autofix when I can't connect

Do u blade wifi fix on your ROM?
that might work.
Also, have u tried connecting through the wifi part of settings and search for a new connection. This might seem dumb bit try that. Not just letting the phone connect itself.

I do have the blade WiFi fix. I've tried connecting every way possible but still no luck. It now shows the WiFi icon in my status bar & it also says I'm connected to the Starbucks WiFi but when I open the browser it says I'm not connected.

Blade comes with the Rom.
To OP, try a different browser.

so when you go to settings>wireless & networks>wifi settings, is the box next to wifi checked? and if yes does it show any available networks? If its off how does it respond when you check the box to turn it on. More details would help people solve your problem.
If its just turned off and you need to turn it back on manually everytime just put a power control widget on one of your home screens to turn it off/on easier.

wifi is turned on on my phone. when i got into wifi settings and look at the available access points, it says im connected to the starbucks hotspot. but when i open my browser(default browser, firefox) it says page cannot be displayed cuz i aint connected. ive tried everything i can think of. ive turned off the wifi then turned it back on, rebooted the phone, tried different settings. i just dont know why it wont connect to the starbucks hotspot next door to my work anymore. it works perfectly fine at home.
Thanks for all the help but I figured out it is the Starbucks that has the problem. I can't connect my ipod or laptop. I'm just happy its not my phone. But thanks again for all the tips

Can't connect to wandering Wi-Fi hotspot

I can connect to my Wi-Fi at home without issue, but I can't login to the Wi-Fi at work.
When I connect to the Wi-Fi at work, it automatically opens the login page. I'm supposed to click login (no password) and on the next page, click continue. I should have Wi-Fi access after clicking continue, but on my Galaxy Note 3, the browser just keeps loading until it gives a timeout error. I have tried this on both the stock browser and Google Chrome. I have tried reconnecting Wi-Fi, restarting my phone....
It works fine on my Skyrocket....

I sometimes get this on the T-Mobile hotspots on the train. But only when I still have a previously used login page open in another tab/browser.
Do you have that, by any chance?

I end tasked all the browsers and cleared the ram. Is the login page something.wanderingwifi.com? I wonder if it's just the Wi-Fi hardware.

Tried logging in with Firefox. Same problem. Is this that rare or are people just not logging in to hotspots?

Same problem with my wife's Galaxy S4. I guess we're the only ones.

Google account sync issues on mobile data

Hey, sometimes when I'm outside of the house, and try to use something like YouTube in a place with low reception, it just halts, loading very slowly and won't let me view any videos. However, after this, my Google account will fail to sync. Even after going to a place with better reception, it will fail to sync. And this happens to all the accounts on my s4 that I have set to sync. The only way to get sync to run again is to connect to a wifi network. I've tried clearing app data, enabling and disabling network data, and restarting my device, but nothing works until I'd have connected to a wifi network. Any suggestions or ideas?
