@MsStefany123 If you don't want to use mobile data just switch it off in the settings. Go to Settings > wireless & network > Mobile Networks > Use Packet Data.
@iXtcDrgn The Wi-Fi symbol which looks similar to a clam shell will display at the top of the screen. If the screen displays either GPRS, EDGE, or 3G, its connected to the mobile web.
@salwir77 What exactly are you looking to do? Do you want to open your wireless network so that it's not password protected? Any more information would be greatly appreciated. Thanks.
My wifi used to work perfectly before but now whenever i click on the Wi-Fi to start it, it always says unable to start the wifi. Could you please help me with that?
@indiajag1 First of all reboot the device. Also check the software on the handset is up to date. It may be worth trying a reset of the device too. Make sure you back everything up before resetting the device. Once these steps are complete Go to Wireless & networks > Wi-Fi settings > Choose your network, or add a network by selecting Add Wi-Fi network > Enter password > Connect. Make any difference?
@ilovemyJDMintegra Are you sure you have the correct password? Remember it is case sensitive and needs to be typed in exactly as written. Also check your router settings. Make sure it enabled to receive new connections.
Hi , I have a samsung galaxy s2 and I want to connect it with my Wifi but it doesn't connect, First I go to Wi-Fi Settings, than I turn on Wi-Fi and then I click at my Wi-Fi connection which is secured, than I type the password and The phone doesn't connect with Wi-Fi :((
@IFPSPortugalI Check the password you are using is correct. Remember it is case sensitive and must be typed in exactly as written. Try disconnecting from the network and reconnecting again. You may also want to check and possibly change the wireless channel on the router. Interference could be causing the signal to drop out.
@22captincrunch - I'm not an expert on this stuff, but when i enter a wrong password into either my laptop or phone, when trying to get a wifi connection, the device will publish an "obtaining IP" message and then disconnect; it then will repeat that process, over and over. Sometimes it will say "Limited connectivity" on the laptop, if the password is wrong. So, double check your password.
Followed your steps (actually I had already tried these steps). My phone connect to my wifi but no applications requiring internet connection will open. So, what am I not doing?
@hoseaj While connected to WiFi can you open your internet browser and access any web pages? Are you able to use the app's while connected to the mobile web?
@O2GuruTV Hi Dave. I just bought the samsung galaxy ace two weeks ago. Wifi was working just fine, now I can't connect. Everytime I try to turn on wifi, it just wouldn't show the wifi hotspots available. And I'm trying to activate it in both the office and at home. Any suggestions on how to solve this? Thanks.
@papirod1078 Hi there, hmm that's strange. Do you have any other devices connected to it? Are you able to remove the connection completely and re-add it?
So every time I go to connect it says it's connecting and says its obtaining IP thing but the it says disabled and I already tried to forget the network and retry but it says the same thing
@22captincrunch Do you have anything else connected to the wireless network? Try checking the router settings page and make sure new devices can connect. You may also want to try a hard reset on the box. This will return all settings to factory default.
@RidePowder4Life You are not charged anything on your mobile bill for using Wi-Fi. If you use the mobile data network without any data allowance then yes you would be charged at standard rates.
My wifi connection says disconnected and secured, then sometimes it says disabled. I know the password for it, but still refuses to connect. What do i do?
@SweetTsilence Try removing the network and reconnecting again. What make and model of Android device are you using? We can then give you full instruction on what steps to take. Thanks. :)
@thedogguyful Yes Android phones do have Airplane mode. To activate it go to Settings > Wireless and Networks > Airplane Mode. You can toggle this off and on here. :)
Can someone help me?? Ive just got a Sony Ericsson Xperia Ray and whenever I try to connect my wifi to the phone, it just comes up as remembered and doesnt connect, even though Ive entered all the right passwords??
@VVxFan Try removing the network completely and reconnecting. To remove > Press the Menu key - Tap Settings - Tap Wireless & networks - Tap Wi-Fi so a tick appears next to it - Tap Wi-Fi settings - Tap the network you wish to remove - Tap Forget. Now try to reconnect, double check the password as you type it in. Remember it's case sensitive.
Nice video, I've a problem, some may know a solution for it. When I turn on Wifi it stays on for a few minutes and after a while it turns off automatic and when I check my wifi connections it says 'receiving ip adress from Sweex' and this is kinda of a loop, when I turn wifi off/on again it works for about 2 mins again. I have made an empty APN, mobile data off (I only want wifi) Static IP doesnt help and the strange thing is dat G3 stays on top screen...
@Jan0G Do you have any other wireless devices connected in your house hold? You could try changing the wireless channel on your router box, this would rule out any wireless interference issues. What handset make and model are you using?
@O2GuruTV Yes, I use a ps3 now and than wireless, 2 wireless laptops and my phone. The other ones are working stable. I am using a Sweex 300N wireless router connected to my internet modem. I haven't changed any other settings to my router, so yes, that would be an option, I shall try it tomorrow and I'll let u know. It would be nice to see this thing solved because I can understand that I wouldn't be the only one having this problem. I'll get back at this, thanks already.
@mizuhozanch and @artz900 - Are you able to pick up your network with any other device? Try scanning for networks in a different location. Do you have this same issue everywhere you go?
When I try to connect, it says it's connected, and the connection is good, but it doesn't work, when I try to use the internet. The computers are connected through a router, and the wi-fi service is in the modem. Could that be the problem?
@matt92hun Double check the password you are using when connecting to the network. Remember it's case sensitive. Try removing the network from the device and reconnecting. What handset make and model are you using?
@O2GuruTV I've figured it out, had to screw around a bit with the router, it works now, but thanks anyway. And sorry for the late answer, but I was on holyday.
@AwsomeSoda Are you connecting to your own wireless network at home? Try removing the network - Tap the Menu icon - Tap Settings - Tap Wireless controls - Tap Wi-Fi so a tick appears next to it - Tap Wi-Fi settings - Tap the network you wish to remove - Tap Forget. Now try reconnecting and double check you are entering the correct password. Remember it is case sensitive.
@TheGohar1 Have you tried hard resetting the device? These steps will delete everything from your phone. Turn the device off - Press and hold the Right Shift, Space bar & delete buttons all at the same time then press the On button.
@xiMrSmithyx Try hard resetting your router by pushing in the reset button at the back. Hold it in until the tick symbol turns amber. This will put your router back to default with NO security on it and the network name will be NETGEAR. You must now access the router settings page to set up security. The address, username and password for this is on the bottom of the router. Once in here change your wireless password to one of your choice and save. Now try reconnecting your phone to the network.
@xiMrSmithyx Are you able to connect any other devices to your wireless box at home? What type of security is on the box? Have you tried rebooting the wireless box?
@izaeuh1231azyqnr Hi. If you are trying to connect to your wireless box at home and have forgotten/lost the password then your ISP can retrieve this for you from your account details. Sometimes the password can be found in the documentation received with your wireless box. Check this first before contacting your provider. :)
@robstar61 Hi there, try toggling the WiFi off then on. Next remove your network then re add again putting in password. To do this go to Settings - Wireless and networks - WiFi settings - Select your network - Press forget. What type of security is on your wireless box?
if you are having problems Some android phone do not like WEP-psk2 network this is a security protacal. the only way i have found of getting round this with the phone is to chnage the security protical in you wifi router to WEP-psk or WEP.
This problem occurs on a few android phones that run 2.1 - 2.1 update 1 and 2.2 2.2 update1. Main problems are on LG optomus ,Samsung galaxcy europa, and some of the HTC desire handsets.
i have a wifi at home and i know the password and i put it itnto my phone, it says "Connecting" then "obtaining IP address" and it will stay like that for like 2 minutes then it stops connecting. Any suggestions?
@ironmaidenforlife123 Are you able to connect to your home wifi ok using other devices? Have you checked that you using the correct security password to log onto the wireless box?
This is the same password when an individual connects through wireless at home. It's usually mentioned at the bottom of the router. E.g. WEP key under our thomson routers. Hope this helps!
