[Q] How to use wifi no contract ?

I switched to my older phone so that I could save ten a month for the time being. Though wifi isn't working. Anyone knows what gives or could be done so that wifi could be used ? -Thanks Nolon

Gonna need more info to be able to help you.
ROM, Modem, etc.

I'm using midNIGHT rom v.3.3. dk28 that's modem right ?
It shows that it connects to my home network but it looks like it kicks it off and says it is disabled.

Update the Modem to EB13 for starters.

I was thinking about calling Sprint too perhaps.

They're not going to be much help to you since you're running a custom Rom, they will recommend you go to a Sprint repair center and they're just going to ODIN your phone back to stock.

Will do. Just won't be able to atm. Do you think it's a Sprint issue or ? As it wasn't an issue until I killed the contract. I'll message back possibly tomorrow or the next day ? Busy with the kids.

It isn't within Sprints control to disable wifi from your phone, it's most likely some kind of modem issue.

Ah well it's been running for 75 hours. I'll reboot and post back tomorrow or tonight. Thanks for the info.

I figured it out. I noticed I was able to connect to open connections but not my secured connection regardless if I knew the password. I'm unsure what the issue was but I can only assume it's something to do with if you choose to severe your contract with Sprint or change phones that for whatever reason secured wifi connections won't work..But how did I fix it ? I changed my SSID and my password to my router. It's now running full speed. I'm still using version 3.3 midNIGHT. I need to change that out after figuring out if the video and camera will work better these days. It's been awhile since I've been on here or tinkered with my phone though. Just rearranged my computer today. Still need to blow it out though. :/ Anyways just for reference. Hope this helps if anyone has a similar issue at anytime.

Sprint has absolutely no control over your phone being able to connect to wif. It was most likely a problem with your network and I would guess a reset of your router would have solved the problem.

Perhaps I didn't write that properly. Thee incident occurred the day that I released my Epic from my contract with Sprint. Not that it happened because of Sprint. Unsure why it occurred. What I do know is resetting my router fixed the error and that if anyone else were to run into this problem. I hope they find this thread. My wifi connection is still running strong since I had reset the router also.

Did you try rebooting your router and modem? sounds like an IP conflict.
Do you BONSAI?

Where is the WIMAX!!!??

Have you tried toggling airplane mode, or a reboot?

yea many times its very frustrating, i am currently in CM9 Alpha 3 and it happened this morning while i was omw to work

I haven't met this kind of case.are you sure that you are right?

yea dont take it wrong but im not a noob when it comes to this its just weird, its been happening for a while now in what ever custom rom i flash

So call Sprint tech support and have them try some steps of their own.

Dont mean to be an ass but what do you think they would solve over the phone, a Factory Reset, update my Profile and PRL, Airplane mode, ive tried all of that

I would flash a modem again, as this did fix my problem when I flashed CM9 and lost data and calls. You won't lose nothing by trying, good luck

Maybe the tower is down? Maybe they will refresh the data from their end? Customer care CAN do some nice things in trouble shooting. Use ODIN to go back to a 100% stock tar and see if it works then!

The issue you are experiencing happen over in the Boston area probably about 4 months ago give or take. So don't panic like I did. I had given up back then, unrooted, and took the phone back into the store telling them my wimax stop working only to find out that all of their phones are going thru the same issue. I would check with the sprint store or ask some one in your area if they are experiencing the same issue.

Me too..

I know this is an old thread but I just got the phone (used) and am having the same problem. It's *stock* JB GB27 (rooted or not) and I have not been able to get any data over 4g even if Wimax says its connected, with an IP address, Gateway, DNS address and says it's active on Sprint. And in a strong WIMAX coverage location. Ping says "host unreachable".
As soon as I turn off 4G, 3G takes over and all is good. To the OP, did you ever discover the cause?
Thanks in Advance.

Wimax sucks even when it is working. Sprint really isnt supporting wimax any longer. What is out there is all you are going to get. If you get it, great good for you. If not, oh well...

Are you using the correct modem for your carrier and Touchwiz JB 4.1.2?

That's kinda how I look at it too but I might take up the challenge to try to resolve it or play around with some custom roms now that I am rooted. Maybe go back to Gingerbread and see what happens. I actually liked Gingerbread's app drawer better.

You can try running a more updated rom, such as cm10.1 or gb27. Stay away from any 4.3 rom though, since 4g isn't supported.:good:

Thanks for the responses, so I found something odd when this happens,
I wrote down the stats the phone gave me about my connection, IP,
Gateway and DNS server. Everything checks out as belonging to sprint,
EXCEPT my IP 6.6.2.142. Well, that IP just happens to belong to the
pool of IPs allocated to the US Department of Defense Network!
(checked on a whois server)
NetRange: 6.0.0.0 - 6.255.255.255
CIDR: 6.0.0.0/8
OriginAS:
NetName: CONUS-YPG-NET
NetHandle: NET-6-0-0-0-1

Is Sprint/Clear's servers possibly mis-assigning IPs???? This is from 2
totally different Wimax areas but I'm pretty sure that the same IP was
assigned to my phone both times.

[SOLVED] No Data on Wifi

Hey guys,
I am having the weirdest issue with my wife's phone. A few weeks ago she started complaining about her data speeds at home. Through some troubleshooting, I noticed that while she was connected to Wifi, she wouldn't get data for a couple minutes, and then she would get it for about 30 seconds before it dropped again, rinse, repeat. Now, it doesn't drop the signal, it still says its connected to my network, but will not load any data whatsoever. Turn off wifi and surf on 3G and its perfect, weird.
She was running stock rooted TW on 4.1.1 with LI3 modem when she started complaining about it out of the blue. I figured she had maybe messed something up so I wiped and flashed CM10.1 along with LJ3 modem. Still the same issue. Now I just tried flashing MA6 and its still doing it.
I'm having her just stick to 3G until I can figure out the issue but I'm stumped and am not finding any fixes online. Anybody else had this issue or know anything I could try before taking it in to the Sprint store?

Re: No Data on Wifi
Reset the router in your house. Complete reset then set the phone up again to the wifi it should do the trick.

I will give that a shot tonight, but I think I have done that within the last week because I was having an unrelated internet issue. I was under the false impression that the modem affects wifi, but that is the kernel, correct? But that changed when I flashed CM10.1 anyway and still no beans. Hopefully a good router reset fixes it.

Unfortunately the router reset didn't work. I'm at a loss but I *really* don't want to take it in to our local Sprint store because they are a bunch of idiots.

Did you update profile and prl lately? Sometimes mine misses the update and then everything is fine when I do it manually.

Just tried, still no beans. Weirdest thing ever. Wifi works for 30 seconds then I get nothing but network connection error everywhere for about 2 minutes, then data comes back. I wonder if its a hardware issue. I just flashed back to stock rooted MA6 + kernel and its still acting up.

Search on google, the programming codes are usually not specific to a phone so its safe to try and use one that you see somewhere
And even if it is specific to a certain phone, then it just wont work when you dial it, no problems come about as a result of trying them

FIXED!
I went poking around and found that my wife's phone and my desktop PC were using the same IP address. Renewed my desktop PC's IP address and everything is perfect!

Wifi not working properly

This is strange, my wifi works but then suddenly it only uploads (only green arrow lights up) and it will not download (orange arrow will not light up). I can disconnect and reconnect and I get some service, but then nothing happens.
I've tried the following:
Rebooting the phone several times
Restarting the router
Changing from DHCP to Static IP
Turning off the new open network notification
Clearing data from Google Play store
Disabled wifi power save with *#0011#
Nothing seems to fix it. What is going on?

READ BEFORE YOU FOLLOW ANY OF MY INSTRUCTIONS!! U HAVE BEEN WARNED I AM NOT RESPONSIBLE IF YOU SOMEHOW DAMAGE YOUR PHONE!!!
OK so let's go straight to Ur answer.... Let it sit for a while after it boots up (a minute) with Ur wifi on. so restart the phone while wifi is on and let it sit for a while... If Ur using a wired connection with a wireless router disconnect the wired modem then the wireless and wait 10 secs and reconnect the wired first and let's all the lights go green or whatever color they show u its ready and then connect the wireless router and try to connect to it.
If that didn't work and you don't have your phone rooted then flash the only time that we have for now. That should fix the wifi issue.
If it doesn't work try to go back to stock and let it sit for a while without touching it and if it doesn't work then the phones defective but keep in mind that if you went through the root process that if you send it back without erasing the flash counter your warranty will be voided so be aware of it. I don't know if there's an app compatible with the s4 so if it's not rooted then replace it just to be safe.... It's your choice
Sent from a phone better than yours!

My phone is not rooted.
What did you mean by flashing the time?
How do I erase the flash count if I decide to root later?
Thank you for your help. =)
------edit------
The method -- sans the flashing the time -- seemed to work, but then the internet stalled again. This is happening on two S4 phones. My other phones have no trouble with the wifi, my pcs have no trouble with the wifi. What are the odds that two phones aren't working? Nobody else is having this problem?

I have already made a thread with the sane issue. You're not the only one facing it. A lot more people are too. It might be a software thing and might be fixed in the next update. If not, exchange it

What router are you using? D-Link DIR-655 seems to be most popular one people are having trouble with. What mode are you using (a/b/g/n/mixed/etc)? Mine only works with Mixed n and g mode. When you turn off the wifi, does it actually turn off (the green indicator will dim but should actually go away when it's off)? The stock rom seems to want to keep the wifi on at all costs... not sure why! Mine is very stubborn and takes several tries before it actually turns off and says "turn wifi on the see available networks." In order for the *#0011# Power Save Mode Off setting to work, the WiFi needs to actually turn off then back on. I have to toggle airplane mode sometimes just to get the wifi to turn off.

It shuts off when I save; I put the settings as you suggested. I'll test it.

DGL-4500 is a D-Link, correct? If it is a D-Link, I'd make sure you are on the latest firmware for it and try various mode settings (disable mixed modes, 2.4GHz or 5GHz only, WPA2/TKIP only, etc). This post details a solution to my scenario; maybe it'll give you some ideas.

I have d-link router too and wifi working just fine

Yeah, it is a D-Link; not a Linksys. I tried what you did, it seems to be okay so far. I have the latest firmware. I still think this is a problem with the phone. Do you think an update will fix it?

Yes, it's definitely a problem with the phone. I've spent the last several days researching and trying to find a permanent solution. It appears to be a software issue but I've yet to explain how wifi works just fine for some and not for others.

Any solution to this yet without messing with the router setting. I have this week left to get a full refund. I doubt exchanging it would make a difference. Plus tmobile is out of stock and stores won't allow exchanges since I bought mine online.

[Q] Major WiFi issue out of nowhere?

Hey all. I need some advice. This morning my G3 (D850) dropped WiFi connection for no reason. It says the signal is good but the network info says saved, secured. It will attempt to connect over and over again and if it does connect the signal is weak as can be and it drops the connection within 2 seconds. My coworker has a G3 also and is connected to the same work network I am. His connection says excellent where as mine said good. His device connects just fine with full bars. I'm baffled. I've already tried manually selecting 2.4 Ghz and 5 Ghz instead of auto select and that didn't help at all. I've tried manually turning off WiFi and turning it back on. I've tried turning airplane mode on and then off to refresh the connection and that didn't help. I've done a battery pull as someone in one of the android authority forums suggested that (apparently I am not the only one having this issue.), didn't work. I've unchecked WiFi optimization - no dice. There was another post on a different forum here on XDA that said turning off WiFi and then deleting the WiFi config folder located in data/etc/wifi and then rebooting fixed the issue for them so I tried that. After reboot when I tried to turn on WiFi my G3 rebooted itself. Does it everytime. SO, I had to restore to a nandroid backup (btw I'm on rooted stock 10f) to get the phone to stop hating my WiFi toggle attempts. Last ditch effort I did a factory reset hoping for an easy fix... Nope. I don't know what else to try. It was fine yesterday all day. This morning it was perfectly fine and then randomly started having this issue. I haven't altered any system files whatsoever. I really don't want to send my device to LG for warranty replacement so I'm hoping someone can help me out that may have had this issue and resolved it. The only difference between my device and my coworkers device is he is still on 10d and I am on 10f. That could be the issue I guess but that doesn't really explain why my device has been perfectly fine until this morning and I've been on rooted 10f for weeks. I am planning on flashing back to straight bone factory stock 10d when I get home here in a few hours from work but Idk if that will help or not. Judging from the amount of google search results of "LG G3 WiFi connection problems" this seems to be an issue for several people. I won't know if it's on the software side or hardware side until I get home but in the meantime has anyone had these issues at all? People have had success in changing to Static IP but I would have to do that for every connection I attempt to connect to and that's a pain in the a$$. Also, that does nothing to identify the root cause of the issue. Any help would be greatly appreciated. =)

Thanks for the reply. So it turned out my phone just randomly decided it doesn't like my work network anymore. Idk why lol. I got home and it hooked right into WiFi. Gf's WiFi and open networks as well. I call shenanigans. I went ahead and flashed back to 10d anyway though.

I am having the same issue! But it is happening in other networks too...sometimes I get the phone to connect but it only works for a while and when I check the networks it only says Saved, even if I try to connect again

Having the same issue, whether at work or home, my wifi has become near useless. I've even gone as far as trying a different ROM. Didn't work.

Same thing here

I also have tried factory reset, installed a new ROM, changed settings in my router... but the problem remains I don't know what to do anymore, I use wifi a lot!! I searched through other topics but no one seem to know how to solve it. Unfortunately my warranty already expired, I took my phone to some technicians but honestly it didn't help at all...they all said it was a software bug and I should wait for an update but if it was just that a new ROM would fix it,right?
I am not very familiar with phone hardware but I assume that if it was a hardware problem I wouldn't be able to turn it on or connect to any network, right?? (any experts here???)
Any solution is welcomed.

anyone please?? :crying:
P.S : I tried a new baseband, new kernel and new ROMs. So far, nothing changed.
I can connect sometimes but get kicked out within minutes. At other times I only get the saved,secured message.
This is happening in every network
