My phone will not connect to my DLink router, it keeps saying Obtaining IP address and after about 1min a pop up comes up and says weak signal can't connect. but i have 3 bars on the signal meter, i'm sitting right in front of the router and it won't connect. and i have my phone set to auto connection in wifi settings.. any ideas??
this happens on LF2 and LF9 modem if that matters..
It has to be an encryption issue. Are you using wpa v2 ?

forget the network, and try again, but using the WPS button method if possible

I had the same problem, I did two things dont know which worked but its been working over a month for 2 phones
1. was give your phone a dedicated IP
2. was I changed the lease time to 30days
Occasionally I have to turn off and on the internet to search for my router and it works in 10secs but thats a lot better than no IP
Hope it works for you also.

Thanks for the input guys, i will give both your ideas a try and see if they work.. it's strange because i never had this issue with my OG Evo.. it would pick my router up with ease,

I would change to wpa v2 just cuz it is more secure than wep and its more accepted with newer devices and has faster link speeds. Google your router and wpa v2 if you need further guidance.
Hey guy's. Look at this screen shot. I still can't connect
My router is da dlink

I got it fixed and heres how.
Go to wifi, then advanced wifi, tap wifi frequency band, choose either 5 ghz only or 2.4ghz only.
When I picked 2.4 ghz it instantly connect my wifi hope this helps.
I was using MrRobinson's stock rooted rom. When OTA 4.1.2 came out, I unrooted, installed patch, ran CF-Autoroot then I'm back to rooted again. However I did notice, every now and then, my wifi stays connected but connection dies. Internet connection is simply dead. So I don't get any email notifications if ever I get new emails. To fix this I have to turn wifi off/on and internet is ok again. I thought maybe I did something wrong so I wipe cache/factory reset, odin back to full stock non-rooted, installed OTA then use Exynos Abuse/Exploit to root. I am still experiencing the same issue. Att Smart Wifi is disabled. Wifi is always on under sleep policy. I have scorched the net and I can't find any solutions Any help would be much appreciated.
Mine is on the oem update no root even, and my wifi sucks now. The signal and connection will be good but it can't up or download anything. Wifi speed and cellular data speeds are all sub 1mbps also. ATT wifi is disabled also.
The only thing that helps me is to just pair to another wifi source, and go back if needed. Annoying! I'd love to find some solution also, I don't mind rooting if need be for it also.

Already have the phone more than a month, don't think I can swap it out
EDIT: Btw, no issues on custom roms, only having issues when using stock rom

You can still do warranty to get a new one just call att and tell them your situation with it. This would be my best recommendation to you. Or just root and keep running roms. This is one phone that I havent had the urge to customize with a rom or anything yet

Thanks for the recommendation but I also felt the same before. I thought the phone was fast enough that I didn't need to try custom roms. After trying Scott's ATT CleanRom SE, that idea was simply change. If you haven't, you should try running custom roms. Although, I would still want to know if there is a solution to this problem when running stock rom.

I've had similar issues since OTA upgrade to 4.1.2... Wireless auto connects to my wireless when i walk in the house, shows connected, but cannot actually download/upload/browse/etc unless i manually turn off wireless and then turn it back on, it reconnects, and works fine. Seems an issue the phone is having transitioning from celluar network to wireless...

Perhaps it's a minor bug somewhere and the custom ROMs happen to pull that wireless code piece from something other than official 4.1.2 where the bug (if it is one) is located.

Yeah but hopefully it will get fixed soon. As I was looking for solutions, some people think it's their wifi routers that are having issues.

Perhaps it's an issue depending on what broadcast freq is being used by the router.

True, but 4.1.1 didn't have this issue. They must have changed something.
I don't know if it is related to the issue in this thread, but I had a problem with the phone since I got it of the WIFI constantly connecting, then disconnecting, then connecting again. I solved it by changing the security model of the router from WPA/WPA2 to WEP128.

Yeah saw that thread somewhere but this is a whole different issue. Wifi stays connected but no connection to the internet. You get connection timeout.
Yeah mine just quits. A note 1, a note 10.1, 2 ipads, 2 iphone 4's, and xperia ion and three separate computers have had zero issues on any of the wifi networks here. In fact, if I leave it be, it will not work on the phone, and it now seems to block all the rest from access! If I turn the wifi off on this, perfect immediately afterward. Strange.

did you try just simply reset your router?
I had all the problems in this thread after 4.1.2 A factory reset fixed it.
I'm using the international ROM (custom but fairly stock) and started experiencing the same issue when I switched ROMs.
Toggling the wifi always fixes the problem, but it's not a permanent solution. The problem seems to happen when the device goes into sleep mode for me.

Has anyone got a solution for this problem of Google's Android 4.0?
Some specifc wifi routers/access points seems to be incompatible with ICS. Connecting turns out to be an infinite loop obtaining ip address/connecting. When android itself gets tired of trying it says: "Avoided poor internet connection".
It seems there is a solution for some devices, such as Galaxy S3. I already looked around half-internet and have not found a single working work-around.
I'm using stock ICS 4.1.B.0.587. When I was using GB wifi worked ok.
Shame on android.

I don't know the solution but I've heard of this one. A friend of mine switched to CM9 (this is ICS as you know) and he saw exactly what you described. The WiFi was working OK in GB but in CM9 it was entering an "IP obtained-Connecting to Network" loop. He searched in the CM forums and found out that you need to manually delete a file or something. Afterwards, it was OK. I'll ask him if he remembers what the solution was...
I don't recall whether I had a similar problem when I was using CM9 on my ARC. I used the CM9 briefly before switching to a JB ROM, maybe I haven't realized that I was experiencing a WiFi issue. Or maybe I was just lucky
Hi,
I have face this problem once, I'd miswrote my wifi key...

That worked for me when this happened a few weeks ago... just delete the dhcp_list file in a root explorer.

Try in router settings to set some country where channel 13 is not available.
For example put Canada. It has from 1-11 channels.
Maybe this will solve your problem.
Hi quera!
I'm on LT18i_4.1.B.0.587_(1254-2716) -locked- having this issue too.
Looking for a solution -with no avail at the moment-.
Good luck
@all:Any help would be appreciated.
Thanks in advance.
EDIT:
I've CWM flashed ViperXperia_V5.0.zip after install I had bootloop, then via flashtool flashed LT18i_4.1.B.0.587_(1254-2716) again root, install recovery and at the momentgoes like a charm
same problem had happened to me but rare now.
I would suggest changing the encryption to WEP and see.
I'm using Baseband 77 with quite many kernel from this forum.

Does it work fine in the same wireless network?
I'm planning flashing Viper Xperia for what you've said, but do you imagine what would be the relation? I mean, what would make Wifi work if Viper Xperia was erased.

Tick the box that keeps WiFi active instead of disabling. See if that works. It's a common fix for the problem you described.

On my device hotspot was working badly on Oreo, but now on Pie after the initial upgrade, and the second one in December there is no internet after connecting to xperia hotspot.
Tried from other phones and 3 laptops, and its the same, it connects but theres no internet.
Does it work on your devices guys, ot is it just me?

It was working fine before the Pie upgrade.
Moreover, when the issue happens, I still have internet on my phone, but not on my PC.
