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)

What r u running on your phone at the moment, ROMS or Sony Ericsson firmware? That will help me and others what your problem is.

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

When I use adfree, after a couple of minutes my internet connection stops working. I'm still connected to the WiFi. I can restore the internet by reconnecting to the WiFi network but the same problem happens again after a couple of minutes. Upon restoring the hosts file, the problem is gone.
Any ideas? I still want to use adfree but this problem is too much.

There's a relatively new app in the market called AdAway. Working for me at the moment.

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

Anyone have kodi working properly on their tablet? I have it running on mine but after watching something for a few minutes if stops abruptly every time...
It's updated, WiFi connection is good, Internet is very fast and sufficient (works for streaming on my phone)...not sure what it is... Same link on my phone won't stop abruptly...
Any ideas?
