Symptom: you try to connect to a wireless (wifi) network and cannot connect. It detects the network fine, but gets stuck at the "obtaining IP address" and never resolves an IP.
There's 2 ways to fix this:
1. Use a static IP and manually enter in all of the info, IP address, subnet mask and gateway. Which works great unless you're in a DHCP-only environment, in which case...
2. You'll need to root the phone and make the following file modification:
The file: system/etc/dhcpcd/dhcpcd-run-hooks needs to have permissions fixed to "execute" by "user" "group" and "others" by using a file explorer in "write" mode
I work in an office with a Cisco wifi setup with 15-20 WAPs. This system makes use of a guest network that uses both a WPA key and http login page to connect...so I had to do option 2 on my Spectrum 2. This is on stock Verizon 4.1.2, rooted with motochopper.
