I'm unable to obtain an IP automatically, I can still set it manually but as I use multiple networks it's not really practical.
I've had the same issue with 4 ROMs, I've tried wiping data and that doesn't fix it.
The only thing that fixes it is reflashing the ROM, then after a while it stops working again.
and this is the same with multiple access points, I can connect to all of them fine with anything else, just not my phone.
It's most likely your phone as my phone did the same thing. It wouldn't even find the wi-fi networks that were around. It would "scan" for a couple minutes and tell me that it couldn't find any networks and shut itself off. Very annoying. I ended up sending it back to T-Mobile and receiving a warranty replacement.
mine scans, it works perfectly fine if I set a static IP.

Have a strange problem with my HTC One X:
When I turn on the wifi on my HOX to connect to my homenetwork, the phone throws my network offline, meaning I dont have any internet access on any other device on my network. When I break the connection with my network on my phone, my network comes online in a matter of seconds... Funny thing is that my wife has the same phone as I and with hers everything works as it should be.
Already have send my phone back to HTC, but got it returned today and still gives the same problems?
Anybody experienced the same problem, or anybody any ideas how to solve this?
Thanx
i have exact the same issue, i tried everything you can imagine but no luck so far. I believe it has nothing to do with the settings of my router etc but that its related to the way the HOX handles the connection. Its sooo random sometimes I have internet but no market, sometimes the other way around. and randomly it just kills my whole wifi network soo my laptops etc are disconnected and i can't reconnect untill i reset the router. As a system administrator i just cant accept it! there is no explanation for this!
But i won't give up untill i fixed this problem, even if it means i have to go through another week of sleepless nights! Using a different router IS NOT an option!
Have you tried setting up a MAC address filter on your router? So DHCP will always give you a specific ip address for your phone? Does that still kick everything else off your network?
Very strange that your wife's identical phone doesn't cause it.

I have tried everything. Changed settings in the router, given a fixed ip address to the HOX, changed the router, put an extra router in my network, tried the neighbours router, it doesnt matter what I do, everytime it throws my network offline.
Before I send it to HTC we established it could be a hardware problem, but when I got it back yesterday, all they have done was updated the software on the phone. When I compared the software version to the other HOX phone, its exactly the same, so all they must have done is the OTA from a couple of weeks ago..
Waiting for a reply from HTC..
I have the same problem. Router is Netcomm 11n. Only plays up on that router. I finally brought a network extender, and connect to that and have had no problems since.
I need your help everyone. My brother is using the Galaxy S II running ICS 4.0.1 that was bought along with my S III and it is acting up. GSII is running stock ICS, and still in stock configuration. Phone is not rooted or messed with in any manner. The phone connects and stays connected to the Home Network, but data transfer stops after few seconds. All the other devices at home (laptops, PC, other phones) stay connected and works fine. Home network is through Century link and wireless is through actiontec modem and wifi router - http://www.actiontec.com/products/product.php?pid=264#.UOyOPB3aI7s). He has been using this phone with no problems with the same wireless network for almost 4 months and this issue started almost a month ago. I have no idea why it went wrong all of a sudden and not had any luck in finding a solution from all my research.
Problem: When WiFi is activated, it will connect to the home wireless network and will work for few seconds. As soon as background activity that requires data stops, the WiFi stops working. If I am browsing or a video is playing on Youtube, it will stay connected, but as soon as I exit out of the application that is pulling data, it stops working. I have to turn it off and back on again for it to work, but this issue repeats. From looking at the signal bars for WiFi, its full (I was sitting next the router) upload arrow blinks once in a while but noting on the download. None of the apps are connected to the network. Browser will show loading for a while and then displays no network connection message. I tried google play, youtube, third parts apps etc. to ensure its not just the browser. When I turn off the WiFi, the phone seams to download a bunch of messages and updates that was not being pulled for a while. My GSIII connects fine with the network and it works fine even after being idle for hours. I have no idea what is going on and would really appreciate any help. I am close to calling Samsung and T-mobile, but thought I will try here first as we all know how easy it is to deal with those guys.
Things I have tried so far: I have tried all of the following based on suggestions I read from other forums I found through google search.
1. Factory Reset the system: FAIL. After the reset was complete, I waited for everything to finish loading and then I connected to WiFi by inputting all the necessary details. Same results, will work for few seconds and stops.
2. Restart the Modem and Router: FAIL. I do not think it is modem or router related issue as my S III seams to connect and work fine.
3. Turn off the security for wireless network: FAIL. Same result as above.
4. Try different encryption: FAIL. Same result as above.
5. Forget the Network and redo: FAIL. Same result as above.
6. Change the IP address to Static in advanced settings for the network: Worked for a while and then this stopped too.
7. Change WiFi sleep policy: FAIL. Changed it to " When device sleeps", "Never" and "Always", does not make any difference.
8. Third party apps suggested by everyone: FAIL.
This is where I am at right now. I have tried to include all the information possible. Please ask me if any other information is needed.
Last resort ... try a warranty replacement.
Is the phone experiencing the same issues with other wireless networks (coffee shops, McD's)?
[Fixed]
The issue was not with the phone, but with the router/modem. This was the century link modem with wifi and router from walmart that was bought for $99. Its an actiontech router with built in modem for century link. This does not work and dont bother purchasing it. I ended up buying the NETGEAR DGND3300 RangeMax Dual Band Wireless-N Router with Built-in DSL Modem from Amazon (http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B001UHMB5O/ref=oh_details_o01_s00_i00) for a 30 dollars more, but it works. Only extra step was that i had to call century link for my username and password that needs to be entered during the setup procedure. The actiontech from walmart did this automatically (mainly because this was a century link branded product).
Out of the blue, my WiFi stopped working. I know occasionally this happens and is usually fixed by simply turning WiFi off then on again our by unplugging the router for about ten seconds, but neither of these methods is working this time. This is different, I'm stumped. (By the way I have the SM-P600)
So, the error message I'm getting is, "failed to obtain IP address", then if I click, "RETRY" I get an error message that says, "Network disabled because internet connection is too slow." Which doesn't make sense because all my other devices on my WiFi network have no problems connecting and have no speed issues.
Really, really frustrating. Any help would really be appreciated! Thanks!
The same problems occurs frequently with my tab P-601.
But I have to restart the tab and it works fine. I have to use mobile data for internet connection instead of wifi.
I appreciate any help.
Anybody else have this happen?
I haven't had this problem on my P600, but have had something like it happen on other devices. I think the issue is that Android will remember and avoid WiFi APs with a poor signal. When I am on the fringe of my home WiFi the signal is weak and my network gets blacklisted. To clear the blacklisting I have to force the device to forget the network, the connect again as a new network.
Couldn't detect WIFI
I updated the Android 4.4.2 and since then my tablet couldn't find my WIFI.
My phone and my computer found the network normally but my tablet just showed some of my neihbors' networks. I tried to restart the tablet and reset the router but didn't help.
Now I tried changing he router's settings through my computer and set the frequency to a higher value and now my tablet finds and connects to the WIFI normally!
Is anyone else having WiFi issues? Like my phone won't connect to public WiFi like at McDonald's or Kohl's or any place I open the WiFi settings pick their WiFi and right away it says 'failed to connect'. Even at my house it'll connect and after awhile nothing will load. Facebook, websites they just keep showing that their loading but never do. I have reboot to get it to work, and I'm on stock everything.

I'm having this part. Every now and then, especially when I leave my home wifi range for a bit then come back, the wifi will connect, but websites. email, etc will load forever and never get anywhere. I find that I don't need to reboot the phone entirely though. I just have to disable Wifi and then reenable it again. After that, everything will work correctly, but it's still not supposed to do this.
I have tried cycling the router's power several times, and it never fixes it. It's all phone related for me. Other than this though, everything else seems to work fine except for text messages occasionally taking forever to send (another issue for another thread).
I've tried rebooting the router but it does nothing. When things won't load on my phone my sisters phone works fine. Its just this phone.

Hmm, we could try some troubleshooting steps.
1.) Go to Setings>Networks>Wi-fi>Advanced Wifi
-Make sure "Internet unavailable" setting is unchecked under notifications then under "Useful Settings", try first to set "Keep Wi-fi on during sleep" to always, and leave unchecked "wifi signal weak" as well as "Allow Wi-fi scanning"
2.) You may want to change DNS settings of the phone
-Download a DNS changer app (set DNS, And DNS changer, Override DNS, etc). Next, try setting primary DNS to 8.8.8.8 and secondary DNS to 8.8.4.4 (Those are Google's public DNS)
3.) In terms of browser usage, you may want to observe on which browser (stock, or 3rd party such as chrome), does the issue occur more frequently. Then go to that browser's settings and do some re-configuration.
4.) If the problem is more evident when you connect to your home network, you may want to access your wireless router settings and change some settings such as the wifi channel, rts threshold, etc.
5.)By the way, what phone model are you using, and is it tied up with a carrier network?
I have an MSMT-320 running Cyanogenmod 13.0 (13.0-20161219-NIGHTLY-mondrianwifi) and I've been having issues with connecting to wifi. It will cycle through disconnected > authenticating > obtaining ip address > connected, no internet > connected and then back to disconnected. It does so rather quickly, sometimes resetting at different points in the cycle. It's been doing this occasionally for several months, but recently it's been almost all the time.
At first, resetting my ATT modem/router would fix it. I was having other internet issues (speed, mostly) and had the modem/router replaced recently and that did not fix the problem. In fact, resetting it has no effect recently. I tried restarting the tablet and turning wifi on and off with no luck. When this started (with the old modem/router), I was able to connect fine at work or my parent's house. I haven't tried anywhere but home recently. However, no other devices on my home network were having this kind of issue with the old or new modem/router. When it did connect, it ran fine and I had no issues.
Today I decided to try a factory reset. As soon as it came up to connect to wifi, the same issues came back. In fact, I cannot even sign into my Google account. Either the wifi is lost, or it cannot reach the Google servers or it just says an error occurred. I've even gotten an authentication notice on my phone from Google, but it still throws an error and fails.
Any ideas on how to fix it?
