Hi guys,
So my Evo 3D updated to ICS last night, internet worked before and after update. The phones internet just stopped working, it connects to the wifi router, tries to sync, i try open anything that requires internet and no internet. The symptoms are as if i entered a setting wrong, but trust me i have been trying this for hours to FORGET network then re-add it. I rebooted the router, i have tried connecting to another router, it connects but no internet (i am using static, its my work connection). I can ping the phone.
What are your suggestions? I have cleared all cache, took battery out. When i use Mobile Network everything then works. This is very frustrating as Wifi should be a simple thing for Android. PLEEEEEASSSEEE get this working
I have the same problem... today i updated my evo to android ICS and connect to wifi, wifi is connected, but not internet
Try to do factory reset.

I tried but it did not help..
Simple, ##786#. Enter your MSL code. Click yes. Phone will format itself (no, not your SD card). It will clear any NV (Non-Volatile) memory. And it will have blanked out IDs for Username and MEID and whatnot. This is not just a factory reset or a /data wipe. After it finally boots up, it will give the 'Hands-Free Activation', followed by 1x connection, followed by 3G.
I am assuming that the ICS update was an OTA, which means that I am unaware of the official Sprint update. I'll read the General forums see if that's what it is. Nonetheless, if this is a custom ROM, be aware that some custom ROMs will NOT properly activate after an RTN reset. In the case that it IS the case; and you don't have any connectivity, even phone services, simply flash a Stock rooted ROM. Edit: I see you did mean the official OTA, so ignore this paragraph as it only applies to a few custom Sense ROMs, and all AOSP ROMs which can accept ##RTN#.
In the case that your phone is not rooted / S-Off, ignore the entirety of the 2nd paragraph.
Hmm, maybe ignore all this, seeing as how I misread it was your WiFi erroring. I do not see how an RTN will fix that. One of the .ko files probably needs replacing.

Same problem here. I connect to home wifi with static IP address and I can access everything in LAN but internet does not work. Yesterday I was connected on DHCP wifi at work and it worked without problem and when I came home, at my surprise, my static home network also worked (without changing anything). But today I was not connected to work wifi and when I came home I got same problem again

Hi!
I had the same problem yesterday as I installed the TeamGenesis 1.0 ICS ROM.
I restored all my data (also the system settings) and there was the problem. The "APN" has to be reset in the settings to default and than it worked for me again.

try configuring your mobile network access point.

OTA upgrade sometimes cause problem, please search a RUU ICS Stock, extract to get rom.zip, rename it and flash it via Fastboot.

Hey I'm new to android, just got a vibrant last week. Decided to unlock it as I travel a lot. The unlock worked, but now I'm having issues with my wifi. I can connect to a wireless network but I cant load pages. The wireless signal is strong and I tried with different routers, but still no luck. Looked through the forum and googled it but couldn't find a solution. If some one could please help with this, it would be much appreciated
try clearing your current wifi settings including remembered connections, passwords, and everything else...then re-scan for networks all over again, that's all I can think of for now
By that you mean just gong into settings->wireless and networks->wifi settings and then just forget the net work, rescan, and rejoin the network? If so, I did that but am still getting the same result. If you can think of anything else or if I didnt do what you suggested correctly please let me know. Thanks

yeah, thats what I meant :/....hmmm...sounds like your connection is working, can you download stuff from the market or is it just the browser? cause I unlocked mine too and wifi works fine
No I cant download anything from the market. I cant do anything that requires an internet connection, but it does show that I am connected to a network.

Have you been able to try another network? My first thought was it was in Ad-Hoc mode but I could be wrong. If nothing else restore to stock firmware and then try a different unlock.
Happened to me too. It would show the wifi icon on the notification bar but wouldn't load pages. I'd go to the settings and it'd say can't turn off wifi or can't turn on wifi. And when it was "on" I'd say connecting to modem then it'd just stop. When I was using the browser on wifi it would load a page even when I had full bars. I had to turn it off then back on to load another page. Is this similar to the problem your having?

I hope this doesn't sound stupid but yesterday I uninstalled Advanced Task Manager and poof my wifi started working again. The phone also seems to suffer from less occasional lag without it installed, but that's another story for another thread. Prior to this I had to manually turn my wifi connection off and on, but even that didn't always work. Since the uninstall I have not my wifi connection once. I am currently using the stock rom, rooted with minor adjustments here and there.
hi guys, i also have this problem.
i will be taking the phone in to the tmobile store on thursday.
it shows that i am connected via wifi; however, anything that requires an internet connection does not load.
very frustrating, since just yesterday i used the samsung kies software to tether a network for my laptop. i was testing the capability of the vibrant to act as a modem, and it worked just fine.
any help would be appreciated!
thank you

connected but not connected
I also have this problem.
In my Vibrant shows that i connected, but i can not load pages. Someone

Hi all,
This is happening to me too. Rebooting seems to get Wifi working correctly again. But the problem comes back eventually.
Maybe a bug in the latest JI6 update?

This is a weird one. For a month I have been using the Leedroid rom with Honeycomb. I have the /htc /flyer 32gb with 3g (UK). In the last few days I have lost my internet connection on both wIFI and on 3g. I did get it back for a few hours today and now I can't connect again!
Having a tablet with without connectivity is a bit like having a fancy brick :-(
I have tried removing the Sim card and re-inserting it and trying a different wifi router.
Anyone else had issues like this?
i assume you haven't made any changes/modifications/installations recently that may have messed with it?
for your 3G connectivity, put your sim card in your phone to determine whether the issue lies with the sim card or the Flyer...also check your APN settings
same with wifi - can you connect your phone to your router's wifi?
my guess is that you installed an app that's messed with your settings
Problem solved (sort of)
Thanks for the reply
You may have been right that an app messed up my settings. I know the APN settings were correct as I could connect from my Nokia phone using them and the SIM card. I could also use two other definitely internet connected routers.
In the end I did a factory reset using CWM. After a few scary moments after the re-boot it was working again. Evidenced by the fact that after reboot the tablet tried to download my previously installed apps again!
I have had to re-do some settings and the Flyer seems to be runnng a lot more smoothly than before. Still no idea what caused my problems but will definitely be checking after I install apps in future that my web connection stays up just in case! Update, it seems my g and ADSL wifi are not getting along together - had no probs before though....mmmm....

you can stop that from happening...that's a "feature"...lol...either untick "back up my settings" under >settings/privacy; or don't add a google account after a new flash until you have reinstalled apps from a backup

some people have had success changing the wifi channel on the router to something higher than 11 (so i've heard, i've never had to do it myself)...you may also want to try setting static IPs for any other wifi devices to avoid conflicts
either way, it is far more likely that the issue would be settings other than ROM related, else everyone else would be having the same issues
you could also try something like this

Hi All
Having a spot of bother tonight
Randomly my SG2 could not access the internet through my router.
It sees my router, no problem there. I can switch off wifi and get online with my data but not through wifi.
I had been using it all day but it just randomly stopped tonight and my router is working perfectly as my laptop and other phone is connected.
I have restored 3 different Roms which were up to two weeks old in some cases. Also flashed 3 kernels and 3-4 modems
On ICS Stock rooted LP7 with CF root LP7 kernel
Not sure what else to try so any help would be appreciated
I have searched and tried everything I can so if you can help, thank you.

I tried it, but unfortunately it didnt work for me but I appreciate your help.
after flashing it, I couldnt even turn on wifi at the toggles or menu so I am doing a restore now and hopefully it will work.
I am not sure if doing a complete restore to stock firmware again will work.
Really dont know how this wifi issue so randomly appeared
Was your phone getting a DHCP address from the router or not ? on ICS, that happens when you get the popup message "Connected to XXXX".

Hi Vaxxi
If I dont understand what you are asking correctly, sorry.
the phone is receiving an I.P., gateway, dns, etc. each time I log on.
I can see that wifi connectivity is active but nothing is working despite clearing caches, doing restores, etc.
the problem started randomly
Yes, I was asking if it gets an IP through DHCP. Sometimes it gets stuck and you have to remove a file manually in order to refresh the IP address, but your problem seems to be somewhere else. Can you ping your phone from the router after it gets an IP address ?

I cant get near my router tonight unfortunately
I can 'see' it through 'Fing' app but if I try to use speedtest.net app to see if I have data, I get nothing.
I think I will try another stock flash again with LP7 stock, but I doubt it will work.
____________________________________________________________________________________________________________
Note: Fixed.
I did all the above to no avail.
Ended up reflashing the router firmware, not sure if this directly helped but upon reboot, my phone connected as usual but now had internet access again.
Strange as prior to flashing the firmware everything except my phone could avail of net access.
Thanks to each of you that helped.
im having the exact same issue. I have reflashed router firmware also but still nothing. Wifi symbol is there but not blue (cm9) data works perfect. Im also starting to wonder if its my router.
I have tried wiping all settings etc. Um currently downloading latest nightly so hopefully that does the trick!!
sup everybody.
firstly, i am a wireless expert (11+ years experience) so im not a nuubie to Wireless networks.
but i am new to Android and have just recently gotten an S3, so im hoping some body can help me.
i have an 802.11n wireless hop that connects my upstairs network to my downstairs network (internet router is downstairs)
upstairs i have an 802.11b/g access point for the older devices to connect to, this access point is connected to my 802.11n bridge
my laptop connects to the 802.11b/g network fine, and has internet connectivity (no issues)
when i first got the S3 last night, it was connecting fine as well, but since this morning, no matter what i do, the S3 connects to the access point, gets DHCP, i can ping the IP address, but it doesnt have net access, but if i connect to the 802.11n network it gets net access.
so for the life of me i cant figure out why.
so in a nutshell net access works from the laptop, but not the S3, same access point, and yes ive checked the WPA2 passkey, and the device is getting DHCP.
any suggestions.
like how to reset the IP address on the S3

Sounds like the default gateway route is not correctly received or activated. Do you have any computer/laptop with a promiscuous-capable Wifi card around that you might use with Wireshark? It should tell what exactly goes wrong.
Since you claim to be a Wifi expert I guess you won't need much help interpreting the result.

Try shutting off ur router.... Wait for a min or so then turn it bak on nd see what happens. I have an intellinet router which when the current goes off nd then on im able to connect to everythng except all google services (gmail, search, reader, syn, etc.) until i do the above. All my other devices connect fine in the meantime! Must be smthng with android....
- check the ip address.
- from device, ping its default gateway
- from device, ping external ip address that is known to response to ping
if all those works but you can't ping www.yahoo.com, it is resolver issue.
if all those including pinging yahoo works, and you still have no access, then the apps has issue or there is firewall.
2 S3 in a 3 days (Internet Isues)
Well, a seven days ago itake a Galaxy S3 from my carrier: Ancel (Uruguay).
IN the First day all fine,but in the night it can´t connect with 3g. In the other day the Wifi STOPs. TheS3 conect with the rooter but can´t navigate.
I change the rooter, resetthe phone (factory Reset) but the thinks not change.
I comeback to my carrierand Ancel take my old phone and give me a new S3 (1 day old).
For 2 days, it go well, butin the final of the second day, No wireless or 3g connect, the same again.
It´s a |Firmware problem, ahardware damage, what suppose I have to do ???
My computer is normal, myold N97 is fine, It has 3G signal and navigate on Wifi and 2G/3G, but my galaxyS3 no …
I ´m very confused with this situation ... Twophones in a 3 days …

press menu key and select wifi

You may need to repeat this upon phone restarts but it may well sort out your problem

This technique works for me but only like a temporary solution. Restarting the home router also works for me but again is temporary. This issue I think is with most galaxy s3 devices. I own a galaxy tab 10.1 and it's there in it as well. huge pain to check each time, critical notifications are always missed. Have switched to bluetooth internet sharing from my laptop to avoid disruptions as I just can't trust the wireless.

None of both have commented on my suggestion to use Wireshark on another computer to see what's actually going on.
It's hard to guess the reason since by crystall ball is broken and it's nearly impossible to get magical artifacts in pristine conditions on ebay...
No Way.
But after reset the configurations, today in 3G mode al is fine.
In wifi it shows Conected in calennetwork, after this it show internet not avaliable via selected wlan ap. It can´t navigate.
In my router page , the received packets always change, for more data and the sent packets never change.
In the avanced configuration what is the Network prefix lenght ? In my XT860 and N97 i always select the channel of the router, but in the galaxy a don´t have this option.
But the strange, is that in the 2 galaxy s3 in the first day work im my router, and then after some hours it´s crash and not navigate...
Very bad Samsung.
I´m thincking in change my S3 for a S2 or Lumia.
I´m disapointed for it, because if i change the Firmware version i lost the warranty and i have bad feeling about this isues... Is a hardware fault or a software bug ???

You only lose warranty if you bring it to a store without original Rom. Just use the normal procedure (TriangleAway, Odin, Factoryreset) to get it back to stock and you're good to go. If your device has issues preventing it from booting (so you cannot re-flash original) they can't check the binary counter either :angel:
THancks for the help.
I will going to look for triangleway & Odin in the forum.
With my Motorola XT860 i made a lot of stuff: CWM, Custom Roms... but i dont´t know nothing about the S3.
Just some days reading here in XDA and a will going to know all that kind os Staff.
Sorry for the BAd English...
I'm having this issue. I think it has to be a firmware issue as I don't think I get it if I use CyanogenMod9 or 10 (but I could be wrong)
It really is very annoying and somewhat disappointing.
Hello Again!
I tested my S3 in others routers, and all the router that working without sharedkey (open network) my S3 can conect and acess the internet.
Test your phone with one and post for us here.
OBS: In my TP link TL-WR642G it can´t conect (with and without Shared key) but in the first day yes, i don´t understand it.
I will going to 3 school who has open Internet for all the childrens and this 3 schools my s3 conect and navigate in the Internet.
Thancks for the support, if anybody change the firmware and the phone come normal again, please comeback here and post for us.

Anyone with this issue, please try the following:
- Take a Nandroid backup of your phone (on the internal SDcard, restoring from external seems to be broken)
- Flash CM9
- Try Wifi
If it works, please report. if it doesn't, restore the Nandroid backup and report =)
Since CM9 is not based on Samsung-software, that should answer the question about it being an issue in the newer Rom once and for all.
I have just flashed the following rom http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1692201. This is a WIFI ONLY device, no network operators or anything like that...
The flashing process went smoothly and all seems well, except that when I connect to a wireless access point, I don't get an internet connection. It connects to the wifi ok, but no internet.
If I go back to my nandroid backup the internet works fine. There aren't any posts in the rom thread about this issue so I suppose it must be an issue with my device rather than the rom. I assumed flashing the rom would change all my settings to those of the rom, so I don't understand how this can be so.
Any thoughts??

I'm the developer for this rom and I've never heard of any issues like this before. Do you have a player 5 or player 4? Does everything else work fine? It might be worth doing a wiping data, cache and dalvik cache and then re-flashing the rom.

Hi Supermaster34, thanks for the reply, yes, I have spent a fair amount of time reading through your thread and came to the conclusion that this was an as yet unseen problem.
I have a player 5 international. I have reset and wiped everything there is to reset and wipe and I have reinstalled after trying this too.
Before flashing your rom I was/am using eryigits gingerbread rom and I replaced the wpa_supplicant file so that I could access ad hoc networks. I don't know whether this could be relevant or not.. I would have thought that flashing would replace that sort of thing anyway but I thought I'd mention it just in case something not flashed is affected by doing that.
Hope you have some cunning ideas....

I also have a player 5 international and I can't seem to recreate the problem. Maybe the issue is with your player but I doubt it. Try flashing my CM9 rom (link is in my signature) to see if wifi works with that. The wpa_supplicant you replaced would have been replaced with the ICS one upon installation. If you downloaded the rom from the team remics website then the download may have become corrupted for some reason. It might be worth re-downloading and flashing again.

Ok, I'll try re-downloading and I'll also try the CM9 rom... I'll do that tomorrow and then post back here when I find out what happens...
Until tomorrow then..........
Ok, I've tried your CM9 rom and it's the same.. It connects to wifi but there is no internet
Trying the freshly downloaded remics rom now...
No joy...It's the same
What could it be? It must be something on my player that doesn't get flashed (on the internal sd card maybe?) which interferes with the newly flashed files regarding internet... right???
Oh, when I go to wipe dalvik cache I get 'E:unknown volume for path [/sd-ext]' Then I click 'yes - wipe' and it says it is wiped. Is that normal?
restoring my nandroid backup........ and........
Yep, internet is usable again....
What's going on?
I have now also tried with this cm9 rom : Paranoid Android
and I get the same result!!!
Someone else in that thread seemed to have the same problem but no-one replied to his message.
So it's not your roms Supermaster34. It could be cm9 or maybe ics itself, but what is different with my player compared to the hundreds of other people who don't seem to be having any problems?
Formatted internal sdcard and still no joy.....
could it be something to do with the router or encryption being used (I'm on a work network so god knows what's going on at that end of things)? gingerbread can connect through it but cm9 can't? I need to try another wireless access point...
when i had cm9, i only could get internet on my home network, which was secured.
at school, it didnt work on their unsecured network

I think it is far more likely to be a network thing.. Something about my work network and your school network has a quirk that cm9 doesn't know how to deal with. My work network is secured with wpa2, so it probably isn't an encryption issue.
We also have an access point secured with wep which I'll try out tomorrow (same internet coming through it though)..
I'll also try cm7 and see if that connects and I think I'll try flashing a fresh gingerbread as well which should work seeing as my nandroid backup works (just to check it isn't a flashing issue or something).
Next week I'll have access to another access point with a different internet connection (which I'm actually in control of myself), I'll try that one out too...
My oh my, so much to do..............
I dont thing it has anything to do with rom..i have similar problem on another device ..my mein internet is over 3G (HSPA+ i have unlimited data) so i use tehtering on android phone to give internet to my other devices,and it works fine for SGP 5.0 ,laptop ,pc and S7 tablet..they all see conection and internet works..BUT i bought nexus 7 and on my huge disapoinment it could not connect to internet on same connection (and i dont have other) ,consider nexus 7 is wifi only i did not what to do,it sees connection but no internet,then i try different roms all the same no internet.
So i connect laptop via usb tehtering to android phone and via program called connectify create infrastructure hot spot on laptop and then nexus 7 net works ,but my laptop must be on.

Well, I tried flashing a fresh gingerbread and internet works fine (as it does on my gingerbread nandroid backup)... So it isn't a flashing issue
I also flashed CM7 and internet works fine....
So it seems this issue is a CM9 issue (as it appears on all variants of CM9 that I can find).
From all the evidence, it seems to me that there is something about the internet connection at my work that CM9 cannot deal with. It is not a wifi issue as such, as I can connect to wifi, I just get no internet connection.
I haven't actually checked to see whether I am able to connect to a different internet connection elsewhere, I'm assuming I will be able to as hundreds of others seem to be having no problem at all with CM9. I'll test this next week when I have access to another connection.
I work at a school, so just as iurnait a couple of posts back, it is a school network that is giving me problems and school networks can have all sorts of quirky filters etc attached to them to 'protect' the students from who knows what. For example I know that some websites are blocked by open DNS on my work network - is there an issue with CM9 and this sort of filtering?? I have no idea what else there is on the network here as the network admin is rather unfriendly and unhelpful.
DZonikg: it seems that your problem may be different, as mine is rom dependent and yours isn't.
It's a shame as I was really looking forward to my Ice cream sandwich!!
maybe this is related to the brand of router used?
it seems like some unsecured locations work while others dont. i was at a supermarket and i connected fine but i couldnt get it to connect at another place.
Mmmm-) what brand of router is at your school? i have netgear at home and i can connect.
or it may do with the channel of the router. i dont have cm9 on my device but try using WiFi Analyzer (Play Store) to see what channel your connection is.
I had this issue with both paranoid and supermasters cm9 Rom.
Actually I sent you a pm supermaster back in sept about this issue. The device would connect and the wifi icon would show the bars but they would be greyed out.
Since I don't have the post count to post in the dev thread I kept checking back on the threads to see if anyone one mentioned it but the guy in the paranoid thread got ignored and that thread seems dead. And no one mentioned it in supers CM9 thread. So I just said fug it and slapped on my stock ROM.
Hang on a minute...... I've got internet !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Whatever happened???
I was trying to update my media library but apparently you cant with ICS and so i had to 'clear data' in the media storage app so I did this and rebooted... and as if by magic I was connected to the internet. When I rebooted I was already connected to wifi (but obviously with no internet connection).
Since then I've got everything set up and done a nandroid backup rebooting again and I still have the internet.
I really don't get how doing this would have solved the problem...but something has solved it... Maybe something changed on the network...who knows....??
Im away from work for a week from tomorrow, so I won't know if it is still working until then.... I'll tell you if I can still connect in a week....
Try McDonald's a dunkin donuts if you live near one. They have free wifi if you want to test it out. If you saying is working I'll give it another shot.

I had a good connection for a couple of hours and then it just stopped! I cleared the media storage app again and rebooted and I have internet again!!!
I still can't believe it can be a fix - it must be an odd coincidence... If it works one more time I'll believe it...
Well it happened again but I'm afraid to say that no matter what I did I couldn't get the internet to connect again, so it must just have been a coincidence...
The good news is that I am now connected to the internet on another connection (far away from work) and have had no difficulties whatsoever. So I'm certain that it is some quirk with my work network. Although the fact that I can connect to it with gingerbread suggests that rather than it being a network problem, it is an incompatibility with ics or cm9. Can someone fix it please?
One quirk of CM9 on Galaxy Players is that it has MUCH poorer wifi reception than Gingerbread. If your wifi connection was at all weak, you'll get connection issues with CM9.

I don't get Wi-Fi connection issues at all,I just get internet connection issues. The signal is fine and it connects to the wap with no problems at all.
