I had many phones and I had many troubles with DNS. Now it is the G4. It seems DNS just stops working sometimes. YouTube just cuts, webpages cannot resolve DNS address. I have to disable WiFi and then enable again to get webpages/internet to work again. When DNS stops working the phones works hard and gets hot and drains battery like hell. I had this problem with Samsung phones too.
It's not my router or internet connection because everything else works (my computers and servers) and I have changes routers many times.
Is this android? WiFi drivers? As i said, it cannot be my network. I use google DNS 8.8.8.8/8.8.4.4. I have also tried static IP/DNS address.
This I had with others phones too. Never apple phones though... So it seems like an android problem? Of course I have tried resetting my phone and reinstalling.
Anyone with any useful tips or solutions here? Getting tired of this problem...
What connection are you using? WiFi, mobile Internet? If you're using a router, what model is it? Are you using VPN by any chance?

It's only in wifi. Disable wifi and everything works (4G), then enable wifi again and wifi is OK. Router is brand new asus top model. I also used D-Link and several other asus models. Never used VPN.
How are you setting DNS?

By dhcp. I also used static dns.
Why are you using static DNS? Are you by any chance using a DNS to bypass geolocation? Are any other devices connected to the WiFi having the same issues? This looks a little bit like an issue that is independent of the G4. When you are setting up a static DNS, it may conflict with the other settings. I am using the DNS from the Internet provider, I am not touching any settings for WiFi and I never had issues unless the Internet connection itself had issues (like last week with the DDoS attack from the IoT devices). Maybe it is an issue with your Internet provider.

I use dhcp, but have tried with static. The only thing that hasn't changed is my provider, but as I said, everything else is working except my g4. Same with my Samsung s5, note 3.
There is a "Network settings reset" in Settings -> Backup & reset. Try it. If you can update to a newer version, do it, it will clear Dalvik Cache. I think there is something wrong with one of the system apps. If your G4 is rooted, then just clear Dalvik Cache from TWRP. I would also delete the WiFi AP and reconnect. Did you check the router for the IP it gives the G4? Maybe there is a conflict with another device, if you're setting IPs using MAC address.

Tried all that. Reinstalled the phone several times by the way.
My router gives IP adresses to all my devies and thats a lot og devices. If there is a conflict you know right away and more the other devices who is conflicting will also not work. Every other device works except my G4 UNTIL i disable wifi and then enable it, like within 5 second. Just disable and enable wifi and everything is back to normal.
Do you have the international G4 with European Rom? Try flashing v20i with LG Up or with LG Bridge. I really do not have any other idea.

Never fixed the issues with those two phones... just had to live with it disabling wifi and enabling again... several times a day. Sometimes after a short while and sometimes after a longer time.
Then I would say that it is not a problem with the phone, maybe with Android. What exact model is the router?

Yeah it has to be a problem with android VS my internet router perhaps. It's weird because I've been through jellybean -> marshmallow.. My internet provider router is Norwegian one (inteno something).
My network:
internet -> internet provider router (inteno) -> ASUS RT-AC68U as access point -> phone.
IP adresses is recieved by the inteno router.
So maybe my phones don't like the internet provider router. Will have to test more when I get fiber internet with a brand new router.

I'm trying to connect to my hidden home network ssid and I'm having problems. I have a D-LINK 655 and if I have the ssid visible I have no problems connecting the EVO. When I turn it to invisible my EVO disconnects from the network. Anyone have any ideas on this.

I still cannot get it to see hidden networks with WPA2 encryption. Any more ideas? Hidden Wifi enabler does not work either thanks
Have you tried to restart your router?
i believe this has always been an issue when connecting to a hidden network using WPA/WPA2 with android and i don't recall ever reading if this has been fixed in Froyo.
Still not working
I am at work on the work router I do not have control of the router. I just wish they would fix it cause the EVO is awesome but I wish I could get WIFI. Any other Ideas? Thanks

I have this same problem. Hidden SSID, WPA2-PSK & AES network refuses to allow me to connect. I can connect with my laptop no problem and my buddies Droid X works as well.
No matter what combo of ROM/Kernel I use the story is the same. It'll hang at "Obtaining IP." I've even tried to manually assign myself an IP. Anybody fixed this yet?
I hate to bump this but I am having this issue as well. Never had the issue with samsungs android phones. Is this a known issue with the evo????

It's only a simple fix if you own the access point. I can't connect to my work access point with my G2 running either Froyo or Gingerbread. I'd like to get a tablet, but I'm hesitant to do so if this is still a problem with Honeycomb. Does anyone know if this has been fixed in Android?

I figured out that this wasn't the problem I was having on my network. I thought the network was hidden because it wasn't showing up on my phone. It was actually not hidden, but it was only broadcasting on 5 Ghz (not 2.4 Ghz), so my phone couldn't see it.
I bought a Galaxy Tab 10.1, and it connects just fine. From what I read, though, the ASUS Transformer wouldn't have worked because it doesn't do 5 Ghz wi-fi.
I have no internet access on one certain wifi router (asus rt-ac66u), with my n7 lte, although I can access the internet on other routers and through the dataa connection, I can access my router management though. I did a factory reset of the router and that solved the problem temporarily but the problem came back. Just switching router/tablet on/off doesn't solve the problem
edit: well after turning on/off the n7 wifi worked but now data doesn't work when I disable wifi

If flashing the latest firmware doesn't help. You can try and change the wireless mode of your router. Log into mgmt. Navigate to your wireless settings, change "wireless mode" from "auto" to "N Only."
It's worth a try. What that will do is force N band only, whereas on auto when a g/b band connects the router switches to b/g mode, and that might mess with the Nexus. If the problem you encountered was fine with a factory reset temporarily, all it would take would be a "g or b" band device to log on to kill your n band and dumb down to g/b band.
It's not a bad idea if you don't have any b/g devices to turn off 'auto' anyways. The jury is still out on whether or not it actually benefits an all "N" environment, but it sure as hell won't be switching to G or B on you.
Those routers had issues with their early versions of firmware. They might have straightened it out by now. Upgrade it!

Try changing the WIFI channel used in your router. My nexus 10 had issues on certain channels especially on 5GHZ.
You may also have a Wifi region setting somewhere on your nexus. I remember seeing it before but can't find it right now. The region basically locks your nexus to (possibly) the wrong channels. IE. Not all euro channels work with american wifi channels

I tried different channels and connecting to 2.4 GHz only.
Help!
HELP!!
Let's divide the problem into smaller pieces - is this an N7 LTE problem or ASUS router problem?
Get another router (I use the Asus RT-N66U) and test if it works with the N7 LTE. If it does, then it's your' router.
If it does NOT work wit hth eN7 LTE, then it's your N7 LTE probably have a bad chip.
I installed the kitkat factory images and the problem still persists :crying:
Is anyone else having issues connecting to wifi? When I try to connect to wifi at my house, I get a pop-up error saying "AP currently not in use. Internet connection slow." If I click retry, it comes up again. If I click cancel, it says "Failed to obtain IP" and is not connected.
I have tried restarting my model/router with no luck. My Note 3, laptop, and other devices have no problem connecting to this wifi network...
I had a problem with wifi,but sounds different then your issue.Mine would just disable after obtaining ip.Samsung rep at best buy reflashed phone.That saved all data and apps.AND,it fixed wifi.If you can't work thru your issue,go to best buy or att store and get it reflashed.Cant hurt.
Good luck.

No go for me I just Got my N4 from Verizon last monday and having the same issue u had. I changed my encryption from wep to wap and still same problem. Ima go to a verizon store and see if the "reflash" the phone like some suggest here. Might help my problem
Hi all,
I also experience the same issue from time to time. I have this happen on both my home network (WPA2-Personal) and work (WPA2-Enterprise). My fix is to either reboot the phone or activate Airplane Mode for about 20 seconds and then disable Airplane Mode. After doing that, wifi picks right up for me. YMMV.
I can try to get the exact error log messages from our networking technician at work if it would be helpful to anyone.
Out of curiosity, do any of you have other peripherals connected at the time you experience the issue (Pebble Watch, etc.)?
Same issue
With my GN4, I can connect to my home WIFI no problem and my GF's WIFI no problem but when I go to my Dad's, I CANNOT connect to his WIFI (Netgear WTG624v3) but both of my sisters with a Samsung Tab 3 and Samsung S4 CAN connect to my Dad's WIFI. It's really aggravating. Basically, when I try to connect, it says "connecting" "saved" Then it says "scanning", and says "connecting" "saved" again and again ..... But never connects.
I have tried changing just about every WIFI setting on his router including resetting the router. Tried removing the encryption making an "Open" network and STILL can't connect... and tried every encryption type provided and still nothing. I set the dynamic address range from .4 to .254 (on router) so I could try connecting with a static address to 192.168.1.2 / .3 and still nothing. I tried removing my GN4 browser cache, and setting it to airplane mode(20 secs)... nothing.
I'm at a loss.. given that both of my sisters with two different devices can connect to my Dad's WIFI but I can't with my GN4? But I can connect my GN4 to other WIFI networks, no prob.
UPDATE: Next, I will try downgrading the firmware version on the router to an earlier version. Hopefully, that's the solution. I will report my findings here.
Downgrading or using an older Firmware version for this Netgear WTG624v3 router DID THE TRICK!
If anyone else is having the inability to log into a WIFI router, try installing an older router Firmware version. I got the idea from here:
https://discussions.apple.com/thread/4564251?start=0&tstart=0
Any of you guys having the same issue? Mine started acting up earlier today, LTE works completely fine but can't seem to get WiFi to work at home. WiFi connects just fine, does not show there's no internet or anything. Works for the first 15 seconds I toggle on and off but then nothing afterwards. I have tinkered around with my router settings, including switching to IPv4 as well as activating the option to randomize MAC address on my phone under developer options but to no avail.
Please advise, thanks in advance!
If you are doing that much tinkering then I bet you have done way more tinkering than you have explained.
More than its worth actually unwinding.
If your phone works on all other wifi but yours it is probably your router
If your router works for all devices but your phone your router is fine.
Factory reset your phone.
Dont install try to use it fresh from install if it works then your fine.
Just watch what you tinker with.
If it works it is something you did after the fact.
I've had exactly the same thing start happening to me today. No problems with data over wifi before today, and I haven't made any changes on the router.
All other devices seem to be unaffected when connected to that router, and the phone has the issue whether it's connected to that router or a separate access point (connected back to the same router, so it doesn't completely rule out a router problem.
Edit: It seems that when the problem starts it's only internet traffic that's not getting through - I can still access servers on the local network.

It does seem to suggest a DNS problem. I just have Pie's "Private DNS" setting set to Automatic, but I would assume that applies to LTE networks as well as wifi, whereas LTE data is unaffected for me.
As a test, I've set Private DNS to Off now, and I'll see if that solves it.

That's interesting. Setting Private DNS to Off has so far fixed the problem for me. I'm guessing that my mobile network's DNS servers don't support DNS over TLS, which is why LTE wasn't affected with it set to Automatic, and my wifi's DNS provider does support it but is currently broken.

Edit: been using the device for 30 minutes now with no problems, thanks for the solution!
I'm using a local DNS server (Pi-hole) to block ads and I had to turn off Private DNS, otherwise my phone was also reporting that it had no Internet access.
Private DNS seems to cause issues to many people
Never mind i'm foolish.
Holy crap, thank you guys. This just started happening to me and my wife a few days ago and thought my router was going bad since it was multiple devices. Then I noticed today that my laptop and a few other wireless devices were having absolutely no problems.
On mine it's being caused by the Snapchat update from a few days ago. Avoid Snapchat and WiFi is flawless again, as soon as I open it the WiFi stops working and I have to turn WiFi on and off before it springs to life again. Exactly the same on my eldest's 2xl and youngest's P10 lite.
Apps such as Twitter, Netflix does not work over Wi-Fi. They work perfectly fine when the phone is on cellular data. The phone got 01.2020 update. Tried wiping, reset router but still same. Thanks for any help in advance.

The default MTU value already is 1492 in the router. However in my case, the problem is conflict between the phone and the router. Changed the router that I paid a lot to the router that my ISS gave me for free and it works.
Not sure which to blame, the router or the phone. The ASUS DSL 17U works with every phone I tried flawlessly except the A2 Lite while the A2 Lite works with every router except the ASUS one.
