Hello everyone
i had something strange happen to me yesterday. out of the blue, i came to my s8 (G950F) saying internet is not available on my home wifi. i suspected that it's my networks's problem but it was not. everyone in my house had internet on his/her phone w/o a problem.
the strange thing is, both on wifi and cellular data (4g), i can view anything on my samsung web browser but i can't seem to get internet connection on any other app like youtube, chrome... etc.
i tried resetting the network settings and clearing cache partition but the problem was not fixed. trying to avoid hard resetting as much as possible.
any idea on what could be causing the problem what fix can applied?
thanks in advance.
problem is solved. i did a backup of my entire phone using smartwitch and formatted the phone. strange problem but everything is fine now.

Is anyone else having the same problem as me. Running on the 1.66ROM my wifi has suddenly stopped working over the past week. It is connected to the correct connection but brings up error messages when I use Opera, sync email, weather, Twitter etc.
Because of this I'm having to use my 3G connections which:
a) isnt as fast
and
b) is taking up a large chunk of data.
I havent tried a hard reset yet as I feel that it would be a last chance scenario to do this as it was working before perfectly until the other week.
Hope someone can help.
Just bumping this.
Anyone got any ideas?
I'm having the same problem.... .is no one else having this problem???? ****!
I uninstalled the xda wifi router app and my connection worked again. Worth a shot for you....
Hi, Ive been having problems with my wifi connections lately. Im running stock rom on my vibrant and from time to time I have trouble with the wifi conection. the vibrant will connect just fine with a strong signal but will not load webpages, or open market. This problem happens sometimes. The connection is a secure wap. I am wondering what I can do to fix this issue, its really frustrating.
Thanks in advance
btw all other devices in the house have no problem connecting and using this connection. Sometimes I will have my laptop in front of me using this very conneciton.
Happens to me all the time. Have to disconnect it and reconnect. If it still doesn't work, you have to reset your phone.
My friend is having same problem with wife on his Vibrant....is the a hardware or software problem? Because I had Captivate and it never had this problem since I had the phone.
WIFI is good and connect is Excellent.... but just can't use it to surf web or log on fring.....HOWEVER, it was able to logon the Market today using wifi.. Does anyone know why and how to fix this problem?
Thanks!!
What exactly do you mean by reset? you mean a factory restore? Im finally likng the battery life on this phone I dont want to lose that, will that be affected? Is there any other fix?
Hi all,
I have been having and ongoing issue with the wifi connection on my Xperia X8. When I download a large file (20mb+) such as a podcast via Google listen the wifi will drop and reset. Sometimes, but not always, the wifi will be totally disabled at this point. The wifi will usually drop somewhere between 5mb and 25mb of data downloaded. Google listen throws up a time out error at this point. I have to say that it feels like a process is kicking in and dumping the connection rather than it being dependent on the amount of data. It will also occasionally do the same thing when using other apps that use the wifi (I have noticed it when using Weatherbug and also Words With Friends), although I have not noticed it doing this when using Opera Mobile.
I have done a full reinstall on the phone once already and it continued to have the same issue. After the reinstall I only installed Google Listen to rule out any conflicts. It also happens more frequently on my wifi at home (BT home hub) than on the wifi at work (Sky netgear). I did not experience any issues prior to the last Android update.
The reason I have decided to post this is because I think I may have stumbled upon why this is happening and it may help someone with more knowledge than I to get to the bottom of the problem. Today I turned of sync and the problem vanished. I have downloaded multiple podcasts today with no issues at all. There has been no other change to the phone.
Has anyone else been suffering similar issues?
The phone is also standard. Not rooted.
Cheers.
Hello everybody.
Yesterday night the WIFI in my Nexs 7 32th with 4.2.2 stopped working out of the blue, literally because the bars irrevocably grey and they have been like such ever since.
I tried rebooting the modern, performing a reboot on the tablet and then I did a factory reset; only to encounter the same ongoing problem.
I must mention that the WIFI works on other network. I had this problem a while back and I solved it by tweaking around with th advanced setting me menu while selecting the network, however, I completely forgot what I did and I cannot find any thread that explains the whole solution.
Thanks a lot!
UPDATE; So I kept tweaking with the advanced settings and now I can use Chrome and web browsing but bars are still grey and I cannot sign i to Google Services with my account. I cannot use Gmail, youtube or Play Market.
Nobody got any idea on how to solve this?
I even disabled the firewall on the modem with no success.
By the way my modem is a Century Link PK500
UPDATE2: So I am using a whole different router and the bars are still grey... anybody got any idea?
I csn browse the internet and use apps but I cannot connect to Google Services.
A kernel is what bridges hardware and software. Try flashing a different one.
I think I had the same problem and used it by removing my Google Account and then adding it again...
Hope I could help you

Thanks for your replies guys nobody else has stepped in to help
I might try to flash another kernel, removing the acc does not work since I already performed a factory reset and problem was still there. Needless to say that i can't remove one because there are none synced.
I can use browser and stuff perfectly, however, it says it can't establish a reliable connection to the server.
Hi, I have got a very strange issue, I have data and wifi connected but cannot connect to the internet with either, if it was just one or the other but with both data and wifi, I have tried many 'fixes' but nothing works, I restart the phone and both work fine for a while but after I wake the phone from standby neither work again... maybe this is a clue any ideas? thanks
What does not work? Is there only a particular app that doesn't work over either one of them?
Did you ever use a VPN for this phone?
Also, do a factory reset and see if getting back to the original settings it will work.
