Just got my A100 yesterday and had really high hopes for it, but it appears to have done something to my home wifi.
Everything was going great with the tab until I decided to reboot the device. Upon reboot it would not connect to my wifi (it connected fine before reboot), just kept trying to obtain IP address and failing, disconnecting over and over. I tried factory reset and no dice, can't get a connection. So I figure I got a lemon and did RMA to send it back, boxed it up ready to send. Then I try and connect to wifi with other devices (Droid X phone and 3 Kindle Fires) and get the exact same thing.
My two desktops are running over wifi and work fine. All of the Rokus in the house work fine. Just the tablets and phones can't get a connection. WTF?
It has to be something the A100 did, nothing like this has ever happened to my network before, and it can't be a coincidence that it happens the very day the A100 arrives.
Anybody have any ideas? I am guessing it changed some setting but have no idea what it might be (or why in the hell it would do such a thing).
Any help appreciated.
Have you tried rebooting your wireless router? Some times a device will lockup the dhcp lease service, you'll be able to connect up to the router, but thats about it... usually rebooting the router resolves this issue.
Wow, I feel dumb... I guess that didn't occur to me since the desktops were working.
Anyway thanks for the reply, issue fixed, now I can get back to enjoying the A100
I have problem with my nexus, wifi is connected but I cannot access any internet. Sometimes interet works normal, then suddenly disappears, wifi is connected normal but there isnt internet
I tired wih other android phone, samsung galaxy ace, but same thing
But nokia n8 works normal, this dosnt happening
I do not know of which can be either the router or the phone
I tried to change settings on the phone and the router but nothing
If someone has an idea, I would be grateful to him
I had the same problem on my nexus, while the wifi worked fine on other devices. I flashed several different ROMS, to no avail, and resolved myself to believe that it was a hardware problem. Before flashing back to stock, I reset the Router, just for laughs. Problem solved. Make sure your wifi settings on android are correct, and try resetting your router. It's worth a shot. Which ROM are you on?
i tired several times with reseting router, even change settings, sometimes internet start to work but after 30-40 minuts stops again
i dosnt now what exactly ROM is on phone, becouse i just buy him
Without knowing the ROM, and at the risk of sounding like a tech support douche, maybe you should try a wipe/factory reset.

Hi,
I am new to dealing with the Android OS with my Galaxy Nexus, but I am thinking the same thing. My main concern is backing up and reinstalling all of my information, apps etc. I use Titanium backup pro for my backups but would like to know if my phone will be recognized when I try to reload all of my apps.
Thank you for your reply.

I have WiFi problems at my house. It shows that I am connected but no internet. I know is the router in my case.
I would test your WiFi somewhere else, such as Starbucks or Barnes and Noble.

Hi,
I have connection everywhere - Starbucks, home, Staples, Chapters/Indigo (Barnes and Nobles equivalent in Canada), even borrowing Wifi from unsecured home networks etc. but the disconnect is between the Wifi and getting my Internet to connect. Connection bars are all gray and at home very strong signal showing. This reminds me of connection problems I had with my laptops (running the MS OS of course), but in the Android OS I am a "newbie" and reading forums trying to figure what other people's connection problems are, and how they were solved.
There are no Wifi connection problems using my laptop (now) or my daughter's iPods, my wife's Blackberry Bold at home. My data works find, and I wish there was a roll back feature to the time just prior to the problem occurring last Thursday. My understanding is I have to completely restore my system, and this leads me to more questions about if I can reload all of my apps or if I will have to pay for them again. In the end, it may be faster.
I downloaded - per member recommendation - a Wifi analyzer and it shows that my home Wifi speed is excellent.
Thanks, I am always open to ideas to solve.
Do you know how to find the version of ROM on my Galaxy Nexus? I must look.

Ok, when I am connected with my home WiFi and I am connected for awhile suddenly it will say "Disconnected" and I won't be able to connect to it at all.Even turning off my phone or wifi doesn't work. It eventually will connect after awhile. I wouldn't mind if I had 4G but I'm stuck on edge until Septmeber-ish. I had the problem starting with 4.2 and still have it in 4.3. Is it a hardware issue? A coding issue? I've tried different roms, different kernels so don't recommend that unless it has some magical fix powers.
I think its a problem with the phone it's self. Mine does it all the time at my home. Not as bad,but I'm on stock w/just an unlocked boot loader

I am experiencing a *hopefully* easy to fix problem with my SPH-L900. A bit of background, I bought the phone with a bad ESN off of eBay in hopes of flashing it to another carrier because I do not have Sprint. I had gotten the phone and it was completely stock with no modifications at all and is practically brand new. Now before I even started playing around with flashing it I decided to try connecting it to WiFi. I noticed that it would either quickly flash saying "connecting" or say "authentication error occurred".
I have tried different routers and access points, different forms of encryption ranging from open to WPA2 and it will not connect to any of them. It's running the stock MA7 ROM and modem. I tried reflashing the modem and even downgrading it. I did a full facroty reset with ##786#, disabled Sprint connection optomizer and disabled power save mode on the WiFi. I've also tried ParanoidAndroid ROM and it is producing the same problem. The WiFi MAC does show up and it does scan and show all of the access points within range it just refuses to connect.
I've ran out of ideas on what to do and looking through the forums I cannot seem to find anyone with the same problem so I though I'd post and see if anyone can provide some insight into the issue. I would rather not have to deal with sending the phone back and will like to get it to work.
I recently switched over to a G920P, coming from a G920W8 that died.
I'm having issues with the bluetooth connecting to my car. I did not have any issues previously with the G920W8. I would start the car and the phone would auto connect everytime without issue.
Now with the G920P, it doesn't auto connect at all. I have to manually select my car in the BT settings everytime. Most of the the time, it doesn't even connect on the first try. It "fails to connect" a couple times eventually connecting itself.
It's the same hardware in both phones as far as I know. I've contacted Samsung about it, they say it's most likely a software issue with the sprint variation of the phone. Highly doubtful they do anything about it, so here I am.
Anyone have some suggestions?
install a custom rom. Aurora rom seems like a good choice.
