I bought a Galaxy Express 3 (sm-j120a) on Ebay (new condition) to use as a backup phone. I began the setup process and tried connecting to my WiFi. I put in the correct password but it will constantly cycle between showing "Connecting" underneath the SSID, then suddenly the SSID disappears, then suddenly it will reappear and show "Connecting" underneath, etc. It will do this indefinitely and will never connect. If anyone has experienced this issue before and knows how to fix it, I would greatly appreciate some help.
One thing I haven't checked is whether I could update the software of the phone to the last available update. I wanted to hold off on putting in my sim card because I have a nano sim and I think the phone takes a micro sim and I don't have an adapter yet. Is there a way I can download any available updates to my computer, then send the update to the phone via a USB cable?
Thanks!

Hello everybody!
I dis some light searching and all the trouble shooting MS had available (which isn't much) so please don't shoot me if this was asked and answered already:
I have the following problem:
Yesterday I upgraded to AS 4.1 (removed 3.7 first) so I can sync my new jamin (Prophet). If I sync it while my computer is not connected to the internet everything is fine, and I can establish an internet connection later, but if my ADSL connection is already active, AS will not connect to my device.
I switched off the Norton firewall I had running, but that did not help. At work I was able to sync while my computer was connected through the company network, so I am 99.9% certain the device is not to blame.
I am running Win XP SP 2 on my PC with a USB ADSL modem.
Has anyone encountered this issue and knows how to resolve it
I will be grateful for any help, thanks in advance!
Check your firewall. I've been caught out so many times thinking I've disabled my firewall only to find that some part of it is still enabled. There's no way your modem could be causing AS to stop working, because AS uses a local connection and doesn't need to tunnel out to the internet.
Boy, am I a moron!!!!
First, thanks Echilon for your reply!
Second, if I get lucky a moderator will see this thread and delete it, as there aren't enough emoticons here to express my embarrassment.
I stumbled on the solution while browsing an unrelated post in another forum. Turns out I had to go in to Connection settings and switch 'This computer connects to' form automatic to internet.
Now everything works fine, and there's no annoying network acquisition before syncing.
I have learned my lesson and will try looking harder next time before crying for help.
Well, if nothing else perhaps someone else could learn from my mistake...
works in wired adsl hotel too
Man,
I've been in my hotel for a week and your post (changing to from "auto" to "internet" ) just fixed my problem! Big up on the info b/c know I can use my VoIP client back to Germany.
Hello everyone
I got a Acer n311 yesterday and I'm very happy but I've got a big problem with the Wifi.
I can turn it on so I guess it's not an hardware issue and it recognize my personnal Wifi (it appears in the available access point list). But when I try to connect to this network, status become 'connecting' for 5 seconds and then it goes back to 'available' without showing any message. Of course, I can't connect to the Internet
My network is password protected but i also putted my router into 'no-password mode' but it doesn't changed anything.
I don't know what to do :s
Thanks in advance for your help
PS: Sorry for my bad English
many wifi routers don't play nicely with mobile devices
unless one update the routers firmware to the latests
and they update them continuously
luckey it's pretty easy to update router firmware
Thanks Rudegar
I'm contacting USRobotics by email. I'm gonna wait their answer but I hope it's not the reason I can't access.
However, I don't think that is the cause because I've got an iPod Touch and there is no problem connecting with it.
Waiting...
mailing the router maker to ask about such things is
kinda like mailing your tv cable dealer to ask wahts on the telly
at best you will get a reply in a few weeks linking to the firmware
you could find in mins youself on their site
one thing you could try is to pull the plug of the router for 10sec or something like that
many routers dhcp get a bit crazy after awhile
and of cause troubleshoot trying to connect to friends and public wifi's
I just received their answer now and there are telling that it is a security problem on my routeur. Of course, it doesn't help me at all
My routeur is automaticaly unplugged at midnight so unplug is not the solution but I'm going to try to connect to a public wifi when I'll find one.
I'll let you know if it works
Thanks again

I've similar problem with my n311 in WM6, except that with security off, I can connect, otherwise I can't even see the SSID of the router. I checked with different brand and netgear seems the worst.
This is something I'd experienced with my SE Xperia X1 with the same OS.

All of a sudden my G6s WiFi will stop working a few minutes after connecting to a network but still shows I am connected to the network, and only turning off and on the WiFi setting allows me to get back online for another few minutes.
This has been happening across multiple networks now so I believe it is the phone. 1.27.18 Firmware update did not solve the issue.
You can see in the screenshot the YouTube app loads forever even though I am connected. In fact my WiFi dropped out while writing this, so it took 2 attempts to attach the screenshot.
Wanted to know if any of you had this issue and how to resolve it!
Thanks!
Meant to post in Q&A, how do I delete?
