Hi!
I have a problem respectively a suggestion for improvement.
Every time my Galaxy Nexus recognizes an access point of my network provider it connects to it.
But I have to login with username and password to use the access points. And every time Android waits for the credentials to be entered it deactivates the GSM data connection because it thinks that the wifi connection is the better one.
It would be very nice if the GSM data connection would be persistent till the wifi internet connection is beeing fully established.

I have never had this problem before and whilst I am not the most technical, I am a long time user of pocketpc's.
When I try to connect to the internet whilst cradled, it tells me this connection cannot connect to the internet. So I go into the connection settings of "My Work Settings" and find the "this network connects to the internet" checkbox is cleared. So I tick it. My network does not have a proxy, so I leave that clear.
I go and try to connect again and get the same. I go back to the connection settings, and the checkbox has cleared again. It doesn't matter how many times I go back and set it, it keeps clearing.
I have tried creating a new connection, still clears. I have tried setting a proxy for SOCKS but not the others...doesn't clear it (the proxy checkbox seems to force the "this network connects to the internet" to stay) but I can't connect because it is looking for a proxy in the https (or so I assume).
Any help greatly appreciated, thanks
I too have this (Athena WM6).
I have a GPRS connection for internet, and a VPN connection for my work network.
I would like to be able to connect to both work and internet via wifi.
Ideally it should be possible to select whether a particular Wireless SSID is work or roaming, but also allow access to the internet from the work network.
Sorry I was mistaken in subject
Can it have something to do with syncing, since your device is in the cradle.
I'm having this issue as well on my Wizard WM6.
Hi there,
I was trying to establish a wifi connection to my home network and my HTC S620. I completed the set up and the phone is connected to my network, but when I go to the internet, the error message comes on "your internet connection is not configured properly, ..."
I searched the forums, but couldn't get a relevent thread. Any help is appreciated a lot.
Thanx.
this happenes to me 2. Anyone?...
Im running the 3volution 3.0 rom.
my wifi is not connecting
it found the wireless network but not connect...help me...i am new here
The problem with the devices of the First two posters is, they should tick mark Automatically detect Settings and Set Internet Explorer connections settings to "The Internet".
Also configure your wireless network connection as Connects to: The Internet
And RiPpeRru: Your wireless network as weak signals. For some reason when scanning for network, your device draws a bit more power in scanning to power up the signal reception of excalibur. While it cant connect because of not sufficient signals for normal operation of Wifi
Thank you dark_prince
I`ll keep in mind
Hello
I have been using wifi internet on my phone for some time. And it has been running fine.
I had a Sattelite connection instead of a landline Dsl. But recently I switched to Dsl and the phone doesn't connect to the internet anymore. It does connect only for a few minutes sometimes in a day whenever it wishes to otherwise there is no connection. The wifi icon at the notification bar shows complete signals, the wifi finder easily finds the network but there is no connectivity. When I go to my university I can connect easily. So probably the problem is with the landline connection. Is there anyway to manually connect to this connection?
If it finds the network, but can't connect, you're not likely to have any luck by setting it up manually. But if you want to try; open "Settings", click "Wireless & Networks", click "Wi-Fi settings", turn on Wi-Fi, click "Add Wi-Fi network", enter the network's name where it says "Network SSID", choose the security type, enter the password. If you don't know what to fill in, ask someone around you who would.
I have recently been unable to connect to my home wi-fi router.
It shows the correct SSID and I've entered the correct password, but it repeatedly states; Authenticating, Obtaining IP Address, Saved, then recycles. Sometimes it states the router is out of range despite showing full signal icon.
All my other devices are connecting correctly, so it's something to do with my phone.
I'm using an Oppo 7a, AICP 4.4.4 ROM with unified storage.
Is there a modem or suchlike I can update or a setting I'm missing?
I don't have an unlimited data plan so I need my wi-fi connectivity.

I don't know if this problem occurs only with the OP3. It seems the phone stiil uses 3G if Wifi is not getting a connection (wifi with exclamation mark)
When I connect to a wifi network that needs login, if I don't login the OP3 continues to use 3G instead of failing to connect. This causes me problems to access the gateway page to login, because it gets confused and it tries to access the private IP with the login page using the 3G connection..
I remember my S4 had a possibility of seamlessly switching between 3G and Wifi. Can't I disable this feature in the OP3?
Right now I have to disable the mobile data to force the login through the wifi connection. Is it just me with this problem?
This can be handy in some situations where you loose wifi connection in a public hotspot, due to a timeout, and the phone uses 3G instead of leaving you without any connection. But right now is causing me problems to connect and I must be carefull with huge traffic apps because you can be using 3G instead (look for the !)
I still haven't solve this annoyance. Currently the best workaround is to temporarly disconnect Mobile Data. That will leave the OP3 without internet access, and then it pops the login page (I guess it then assumes the gateway IP is private).
After logging in I can turn mobile data On again.
This is very annoying. Don't you have this problem, especially with corporate wifi networks that require login?
