my dads new galaxy y wont connect to our home wifi it keeps saying connecting disconnected have i to log onto rooter to tell it to accept phone? also what does the wifi indicator look like is it the same as wave 1 for example thanks guys
check security settings
thanks but i found nothing in security settings to help except for use wifi's for location reasons
Please post your detailed wifi configuration. Which settings are applied at the router and the phone? Especially concerning wifi. If you use encryption you might have to enable an option called "secure permissions" or similar in location and security settings.
Make sure you put the security key in EXACTLY as it is on the router. My girlfriend put the password in lower case on her phone and WiFi wouldn't work. I changed them to all upper case and, et viola, it worked! Lol
Press 'Thanks' if I helped!

Hi,
I bought Samsung i780 and I cant create a new wifi connection.
When I go to Settings > Connections Tab > Wifi >
there's no option for New connections.
When I checked the Version of my device, the wifi section is blank on all 3 options...
Can you help me figure out this problem?
Thanks,
anyone here with the answer or have experienced my problem?
Give us more info
Was it always like that?
Where did you buy it from? was it new? do you have warrenty?
Did you flash any ROM onto the device?
If it came that way fom the seller it may be that the Wifi element is defective and should be replaced.
It may also be that the ROM radio part was flashed and messed up by the previous owner or by yourself if you flashed the device.
can only assume with what you give us...

I bought it new here in the Philippines. When I came home to open the box, I tried to create a new Wifi connection and there's button or option.
When I go to Start > Settings > Connections tab
I see the Network card/wifi... and it has a list, one of which is Samsung 802.11 wifi card (swl-2.)
on the left soft key is Edit and on the right key its blank.
When I try to open Wireless Manager, I only see 2 options. Bluetooth and Phone.
sounds like a defective unit?

The network adapter tab in Wifi refers to, I believe, the device driver not to the actual HW.
If in Settings->System->Version You don't see the SW and HW version or MAC address of your Wifi (IEEE 802.11 b/g) card, then you should definitely replace it at your dealer's
May be the wifi application does not load....have you tried soft rest????....... this problem happened to my xda stealth after Rom upgrade and worked latter after repeat upgrade....
Click on the signal bar for your phone this should bring up a diaoluge - then within that - click on "wireless manager". If wifi is unavailable in there or you are unable to turn it on by clicking on the wifi tab then I'd say you have a defective unit.

hi joezhang...
i did what you said and wifi is not showing up as an option. it only has bluetooth and phone. it must have been disabled or something. but i cant find any fix on the web...
It's either been disabled (which is odd in an unlocked phone) or it's just plain faulty - I'd take it back to the shop I think.
i went back to samsung only to find out that they don't have the software patch. i want my money back...

If they say it's a software issue, and don't have a solution,
you may want to consider flashing your device with a full ROM (eboot+pda+radio) that you can find here.
(latest full ROM image posted is DXHC4)
If you have nothing to loose (warrenty wise), it may be worth a shot.
The wifi just disappeared in mine today, did you have any luck getting it back yet? I've tried flashing various combinations of ROMs and no luck so far - only 7 days left before I can't send it back!
It persisting on GPRS connection
Hi there,
Although my wifi is working normally, my samsung i780 still persist to connect to GPRS when running some applications such as Windows Live or Messanger. It is unlike the HTC mobiles, this is really causing me to ask for a solution if any!!
Regards,
Wifi probelm solution?

Guys,
I'm about 1,5 year late with this answer, but today, i use WM6.5 now and have the same issue. It is caused by SPB Phone Suit, which if installed, no Wifi connections tab, only the above described card selector, and no wifi.
As soon as I remove the installation of SPB Phone suite, the problem is solved.
So it is not 100% a defective Wifi item...
i have a wifi issue on my dhd, i accidentally tap the "forget" button on one of my wireless network.. can i reverse this action? i mean is there a method which i can use to discover that lost network? i tried to enter it manually, but no success.. somebody help me pls.
Go in range of your "lost" network... Select the "lost" network from WiFi list menu... Enter passcode... Profit!
sir how can i find the "lost network" theres no option like that, my phone is desire hd.. can u be more specific, tnx
You take it seriously? I mean he just made a joke.
What he meant is just retype your password. There's no way you could recover the lost password unless you wrote it somewhere else.

Indeed, you need to go to Wireless and Network/ WiFi settings and chose your network and re-enter your password.
Apologies for being sarcastic, but I think I was in a good mood yesterday lol.
Cheers
but the problem is i cannot locate the network anymore ... and i remember that it has no password
That indicates to me that it is not your wifi, and that you probably shouldnt have access to it.
If you still chose to connect to a wifi that isn't your's, let me remind you that it is illegal - and from that point of view i don't think we can help you...

Hi guys,
I opened this new thread because I already tried the search tool, even the google search, but nothing came up for the Xperia Play.
My question is, is there a way to change the wi-fi MAC address on the Xperia Play?, the reason I want to do that is because I think somebody at my job blacklisted my device from the wi-fi... some co-workers can get into the wifi network while some of us don't.
All our phones detects the WIFI network, all of us have the password (ok somebody smuggled it for us heheh )
A month ago I was able to do so, and no problem whatsoever, then it just started to get stuck while obtaining the IP address, then, disconnects from the network and get into an infinite loop not being able to sign into the network, while my desk neighbor not so-smart phone (samsung marvel) keep getting connected using the same password, so my first thought was it was only blocking smart-phones by MAC prefixes or android signature ... whatever
But yesterday another co-worker brought his just purchased Samsung Galaxy PRO (which looks like a Blackberry, but running android ), and to my surprise he did got into the wifi network without any issue (using the same password I use and gave him for trial), so I'm now pretty sure they blacklisted by MAC address
Well I manage to convince my buddy to share the network via tethering as a work around, and IT WORKED.
Anyone have an idea if what I'm thinkind is possible (being MAC blacklisted) and also if there's a way to change it on my PLAY runnin Gingerbread 2.3.3 un-rooted with stock SE SW.?
Thanks
I'm not at the pc now. Search my posts for bluetooth address with references to pocketnow tutorial for different device. Maybe you can make it work on xplay. I got one step closer locating one of the address files in one of the posts but no further. Don't know if you can do it without root.

dam it lol ill post it again later on
Thank you. If you know how to change bluetooth as well I will be very grateful.

Hello xda community!
I have a strange and serious problem: I can't connect to hidden WiFi's.
I'm with a LG G3 D855 10H (no newer versions available).
At work we use a hidden WiFi without password but with Juniper VPN.
When I type in the network name and save it, it tries one time to connect, then my LG G3 shows "not in range". After a few seconds, the WiFi is on the top again with a very good signal.
When I try to connect again, it shows "not in range" again and so on.
I tried it at home and created a hidden network and it was reproducible.
Anyone else has problem with this?
Many thanks in advance for your help!
Best regards,
Jake

Now that is what you call a 'special' post!
Would you care to explain how it was resolved for the people that have the problem.
My problem still exists, but isn't urgent anymore.
I found out, Android itself have problems (or restrictions?) to hidden WiFi networks.
I also found an app names HiddenSSID Enabler, but it seems it didn't work for me (or G3?).
If someone has a solution it still would be very helpful fo rme and the rest of the community.

I have logs posted in my first post, WIFI DESTROYED TWICE or there abouts.
I've had to resort to DATA and its killing me haha i think i am getting close to fixing it, well i think i may be closer than you two and can one of you kindly take the lead as im reinstalling windows and i haven't gamed in 6 days :|
/system/etc/wifi/WCNSS_qcomcfg.ini
then the problem is complex but i am sure it is something to do with gEnableApProt=1
Offshoot fix, reinstall using googled imei number that doesn't have a flag or some how fix the flag <READ A FEW DAYS BACK>
I think actually the program that stuffed me was Airmon by maxters. It asked me if i was pro and of course, i said yes. Who would simply click no? I know a ninj wouldn't click no. I think there is a manual reinstall to link to it again i find the modem in its own partition having a chill, most likely trojan/backdoor and pwning everything around me.. I had three encrypted vpn backdoors and escalated accounts on my computer I paid the 5$ for the binarys, i think i paid 5$ for the back doors.
Not to sell Airmon out though.. Rooting our phones and accessing countless forums and websites really does leave us rather "xposed" some other cuplrits may be dsploit, ROM manager, linux Deploy/kali, Pamn IP scanner, system app remover pro, busybox pro's (Stephen/JRummy) or CMinstall/accessing the forums and trying to install cynagenmod / twrp recovery. I'm probably going to go with..... Airmon/Linuxdeploy or uninstalltool. But may have just been my IP logged and i hit a booby trap script along the way.
You guys done anything of the sort?
/Thread killller
Neither I understand what you are talking about, nor am I (as not native english speaker) good at "sentence guessing".
I have a rooted phone - of course.
But I'm pretty sure my WiFi is not destroyed...
Cant get internet working all of a sudden on this phone
have rebooted router, phone, removed battery checked settings etc and still nothing
Airplane on and off etc... it picks up my router and says connected b ut nothing
tried wifi fixer from g'play and says all is well
No 5GHz therefor no 802.11ac wifi
Can you access the Play store? Try to also check if you have at least one sim card in one of the slots. If you are using the sim to access internet, then you might have to disable mobile data on it first before trying out the wifi which is 2.4GHz only, therefor the Swift misses out on 5GHz Wi-Fi and, with it, 802.11ac support.
Solved... prob was with router settings had to reset

Glad to hear that your Swift was not at fault there. It's always assumed that the new device would be the one at fault for no connectivity, but one never asks if the old network is ready for the new device. :good:

Posting to an old thread with very little real information isn't going to get much help.
If your Wileyfox is a Swift (the original, not the Swift 2) and it's running Lineage OS, then a new post on this forum might get you some help, otherwise I suggest you find a more appropriate forum.
Given how quiet it is on here a generic Android forum might be better anyway?
Also you may find some if the advice in How To Ask Questions The Smart Way helps you get a useful answer. Sorry I can't post links but it's at http colon slash slash www dot catb.org/~esr/faqs/smart-questions.html
