Motorola Electrify :: Why Does Wifi Get Stuck On Obtaining Ip Address
Jan 29, 2012
To turn my wifi on i use widgets, it gets stuck mainly on obtaining ip address. For it to connect quick I must go into settings to wifi for it to work. Why is this happining? I have a solid wifi connection. Is anyone else having this problem. Just to refer my knowledge to others classify me as a hacker.
I'm new to the sony franchise and I'm very impressed with the Z2. The only problem I have is that my wifi keeps dropping on my phone and then it gets stuck at "obtaining ip address". What I've done is: reset my router, "forget" the network on my phone, reconnected the wifi. I've also rebooted my phone, this connected to the wifi successfully, but disconnects after a while again. I disabled stamina mode and all other power saving options, but nothing worked.
I have several wifi devices (laptops / tablets) that connect without a problem to my home WPA2 secured wifi network.The photon detects this network and will connect to my home network, BUT ----Implied Profanity Removed---- there are many occassions when it will try to locate the router and try to connect but always loops with "obtaining IP address" -The only solution I have for the photon to connect is by manually rebooting or turning off/on the router, disabling photon wifi > re-enable photon wifi > select my home network and it will connectI have a static IP address for my main router connection and have assigned a DHCP range from : 192.168.31 - 192.168.254 with a lease expiry of 24 hours.
The router and my bandwidth (24mb down / 1.5mb up) has been going strong for a few years.What setting am I missing here or need to modify? I never had to reboot or reset my other wifi devices to ever connect, and I just changed the DHCP range to the above again today. I had a channel setting of "6" and changed it to "11" now also...Once the wifi is connected to the photon, it will stay connected for the most part, but if I leave the home or perhaps overnight the wifi gets disconnected resulting in me having to reboot the router, disable photon wifi, re-enable photon wifi for it to connect
I got my neo v can't connect to any wifi spot..if it was connected, but it will state that connection limited and can't connect to internet and then after few second it will terminated and continue obtaining IP address. This problem will continuously repeated..its happened not only at my home, but also at other wifi spot. So I am stuck using this smartphone.
I bought a Nexus 5 about 15 days back. I am very happy with the phone - except for the fact that I face difficulty connecting to my Home Network in particular. My Windows Laptop, My wife's iPhone and iPAD connect to the same WIFI almost instantaneously. However, my Nexus 5 phone keeps saying "Obtaining IP Address" endlessly. At times, it says "Weak Signal - Cannot Reconnect" and gives up. However, all other mobile devices show that the signal strength is good. the phone does connect to the WiFi after sometime by itself.
I do not have this problem when I am at my office. It connects immediately to the WiFi in my office.
The Router setting at home is as follows : Mode : AP Band : 2.4GHz (B+G+N) Channel Width : 20/40 Mhz Auto Channel Number : 11 - 2462Mhz Broadcast SSID - Enabled WMM - Enabled Authentication - WPA-PSK Cipher Suie - CCMP
I recently gave my Electrify to my wife and took the phone to US cellular so they could portal our numbers around. They did a factory reset on my phone but since then her data speed seems to be stuck in 1x. It will switch over to 3g occasionally but only for a minute or 2. I've checked for a system update hoping this would correct the problem and also tried a hard reset, another facory reset, reactivation (*228) and to change network settings under *#*#4636#*#*. As a last resort I had my wife take it back to US cellular but they just lied to her and said that even though it shows 1x it was really working in 3g. Downloaded speed test and it shows a .2 Mbps download speed and even slower upload speed. I was thinking about trying to download the gingerbread file and manually installing it but other than this I'm out of ideas. Does anyone know of any I'm going to try a few more things and if I can't get this corrected I will have to return the phone to US cellular and try to get a replacement. Only reason I haven't already is because I figure fixing the thing myself is the quicker of the 2 options. :-)
All of a sudden, my Electrify will not connect to my home network. I have Macs and use an Airport Extreme router. When I open up wifi settings it sees my network, as usual, and then I have to select it to "connect". Which I do. It scans to connect and then, within seconds, disconnects. It will keep scanning and I see my network there and could repeat this process over 100 times with the same results.
I've had my Electrify for two days now and have noticed less that stellar wifi performance, compared to the 3 other smartphones that I have had previously. I noticed that the Photon has recently (last week) had an update to help wifi performance. When will this update be available for the Electrify?
A couple of weeks ago my phone was updated to the latest system software, and now am experiencing a slight problem. My phone can no longer connect to a WiFi where the wireless SSID Broadcast is disabled. Once enabled, it will automatically connect, as if it couldn't find it before. Then, if I disable the broadcasting, it will disconnect as if the wireless were shut down. It didn't do this before the update. Is there a setting or something that needs to be changed? After the update, I had a setting or two changed, automatically it seemed, that caused problems (such as the Data Saver turned on) but this is the last thing I'm having issues with.
Can you create a hot spot with one phone then connect WiFi with another phone if so does any one konw step by step how to do this. the reason I ask is I have 2 electrifys and if I could do this then when there is updates I could make a hot spot with one phone and connect wifi with thother and do the update then swicth and do the same with the other phone instide of going and looking for a wifi somewhere.
It says I'm connected. The top has those bars in the shape of a baseball diamond, but when I try and browse it says that the page has moved. I have tried channel 1, and channel 11. I'm trying to connect to my homes wifi, which I have the password for, and I put in, says its all right.. the same of the network is exactly right. I tried the push button method also, that didn't work..
If I turn on wifi and connect at my home my pictures from facebook, ebay, etc won't load. If I turn off wifi they load fine just much slower than on wifi. I haven't tried to upload pictures, just viewing them.
My daughter (who lives in another town) and I just switched from Samsung Mesmerize to Electrify phones. We both have D-Link DIR-655 routers in our homes. Although we had no problem using wifi with our old phones, the Electrify searches, connects and then immediately disconnects. I've spent hours checking out the router software as the admin, checking on line to see if others have reported this and I've tried every combination of options on the Electrify. We're both running Win7 and both use our routers successfully on other wireless devices in our homes.
I can delete individual emails from my inbox. However, when I go to Trash folder there is no method to delete the Trash contents. Searching the manual gives zero information. Searching online has not been much more productive. The methods I've seen in independent forums don't work for me.
Does anybody know how I keep all of my past appointments on the Electrify? I check my google calendar which is syncing fine and see all of my past appointements, however they are gone from the phone. Additionally, even though my google calendar is scheduled out for the entire year, my phone calendar stops at December 15th, 2012.
All my stuff gone. Music pictures etc. All i did today was hook up to tv hdmi cable to watch a video and somehow it wipped my external sd card. Really pissed anybody know why this happened?
It seems that some cellular associates are telling customers that the Electrify is 4g ready and will be able to be updated,when US Cellular launches 4g. The general consensus is that this cannot be possible.
Anybody have an easy way to convert the video I shoot on my Electrify to some readable format on the computer? I've tranferred the files to both Mac and PC and neither have worked. I almost thought it was because I turned on the encryption, but I haven't had problems with photos, and I don't know why video would be different. Didn't have this problem with my old phone
Iam a Uscc agent and I have a customer with the electrify and their phone is dying within a couple of hours and only sending a couple of text messages and making one phone call I have given a battery swap and checked the phone for any bad apps but there were no additional applications installed and settings do not seem out of place and compared it to mine that I have abd everything matches and mine lasts me an entire day of heavy use. I am just wondering if there is anything else that could be draining the battery or a way to fix it?
Testing the multi touch functionality of my phone, to my dismay, shows acknowledgement of two points of contact. Needless to say, the piano app that I use.( for jotting down quick ideas, I am a music director at my church and a songwriter) is nearly unusable because piano often uses more than two fingers. I know that the hacking community has been able to enable up to 8 points if multitouch. Is this going to be enabled for this phone? I would hate to get rid of it since I love everything else about it, and have no problems at all with any functionality. ( aside from that whole pesky multitouch thing).
Im trying to connect my defy to a wifi network and since im behind a firewall so ive to enter port address and ip.But there is no provision to do so in defy whereas in other android phones like samsung this provision is there..
My Xoom post upgrade to 4G is now assigning the IP address of 192.168.20.1 to the device usb1 everytime it is rebooted. This apparently hardwired configuration conflicts with my homenetwork's default gateway.Is there anyway to change this with out rooting the device? I would rather not have to re-IP my home network or not be able to connect to any network via Wifi who uses that IP address as a default gateway.
My xoom is stuck on 3.0.1, and will not update at all. It tells me update is available, but when I do it, it fails every time. This is a wifi only model, and I'm in Texas.
