Help samsung galaxy mini wifi issue

what is root exporer..? *sorry a perfect newbie..
Click to expand...

Root explorer is an application that can help you access your internal memory files such as system applications, libs, modules, etx and modify them. It requires root acces to run.

There are other apps that can help you access your system files in your phone such as Astro File Manager, ES File manager....... (I like root explorer market link https://market.android.com/details?id=com.speedsoftware.rootexplorer&feature=search_result )
 
Hi,

I posted this in another thread and I also hope that this also works for you.

Not sure if this will work for you, but my Auntie has a similar problem with her Galaxy 551 and through searching in the internet I found a way for her to connect successfully to wi-fi again:

The best solution I know as of now is to use the "Allshare" app to connect to the wi-fi. Just click it then press "Ok" if it prompts that it needs internet connection, and it properly connects to the wi-fi (as opposed to turning on the wifi via the drop-down or in the settings menu.

It's good if you already have it. If not, I think you can download it in the market.

The second solution which works but I do not want to use is to use a static IP Address. You can set it on the Wireless Settings. The reason I don't like this solution very much is that I am not sure if it works on all routers, since routers may have different configurations.

I hope you solve your problem soon so you can enjoy your phone!

Hi, I had a similar problem to yours, and I'm not sure if this solution applies to you, but I had forgotten that my router had a MAC address filter, which meant that I had to add my phones MAC address to the router's "ALLOWED" list for the phone to be able to connect, even if I had entered the right security options and password. You can find your phone's MAC address from Settings>Wireless>WiFi>Advanced. (I had to press the left button on my Mini to access the advance menu)
 
I've galaxy mini in US. I've upgraded to 2.3.4. My experience is that Galaxy Mini can not handle WEP encryption for WIFI. I would be happy if someone can prove me wrong.
 
I was also facing similar problem. I did nothing, just pressed the menu button and clicked advanced setting. I set my IP and it started to work. Contact your service provider or a geek friend to get your IP. :):):)
 
Even after upgrading to gingerbread wifi issue is not resolved :(
upgraded it just few days back and faced this issue yesterday
 
Hi:
Both the following can reload the drivers:
*#*#526#*#*
*#*#232339#*#*

But before you try those two above, try this simple solution (specially after upgrading the Android OS):
1- Disconnect the battery.
2- Press all three buttons at the same time: volume down + menu / home key+ power. Then release.
3- Put the battery back, turn on, and check now...

I have the same issue and been trying since three days ago but nothing at all :'( ..... It suddenly worked by its self for a day and now doesn't work :(
I've searched the whole web but no perfect answer is ,just suggestions which not worked
*recently I did factory reset and still not working.
note:my android 2.2 galaxy mini still new as purchased few days ago :(
 
well, you can try something very simple. it's look stupid, but it worked for me (with samsung galaxy mini and also with android based tablet pc i bought recently). i have wpa/wpa2 psk encription on my router and it was connecting-disconnected all the time. i tried some things from web, but nothing worked. so i tried the following: i had password for my wifi router with 10 characters, and i changed to 8 character password and problem was solwed.
maybe will work.

I have the same problem with my newly bought phone. I tried everything, and it still doesn't work. I don't really wanna risk upgrading to Gingerbread.

I will do a factory reset right now but I don't think it'll help.

I managed to fix it. My brother got into the configuration of the router and we manually entered the IP, gateway, netmask and everything required and it connected automatically.

You do this by going in Menu > Settings > Wi-Fi > (the left menu button) Advanced > Tick 'Static IP' (I think that was it).
 
So ive been using my mothers phone lately while my samsung Chat 8550 broke. Im using my mothers android galaxy mini. And just like everybody else,ive been having trouble connecting it to my home wi-fi. Fortunatly my mothers phones got 3G,so she dont need wi-fi. However,she does wanna save her remaining 3G memory by connecting with our home wi-fi and the fact that its so much faster. I have tried FACTORY RESET-IT WAS A FAIL. I also tried ticking 'static IP address'-didnt work. Now,I want to know what some of you mean when you say "dialing"?Do i dial it on the actual dialing pad and ring it?Whats a driver and how do i reload it?Where can you get your IP adress?:D SOS please

My mini just came up error when I tried to turn on WiFi, shop asked me to send it in, but tried your method instead and it worked immediately. MANY, MANY THANKS :D:):D:thumbup:
 
i was also having the same problem I have tried all the solutions above
but not working.. only way to connect is just restart your modem.. give apply forget password . then reconnect after entering password. but it will work only for some hours or days.. :(:(

:pbetter solution is root the device and flash any custom rom like cm7
Because now i am having no wifi problems... i am using cm7 by squadzone
 
Hey Guys....

who ever using Samsung Galaxy Mini, having this problem in connecting with Home WIFI, I have a sorted solution... Coz i have also experienced the same problem till today..

As I got my New Phone yesterday, was tried to connect my home WIFI, for the first time it does, then the problem started, for next time when I tried to access internet means it was not working then I tried to connect it back, but dint worked then I keep on tried but all my attempts went ruin..

Then I tried at my Network provider's customer assistance, they also din't help me out... then I thought to return it back will all lost hopes.......

Then Like a miracle, I tried to switched it OFF, then I SAW an Option saying DATA NETWORK MODE Activate / deactivate........ Then I Activated it...

From then Am Happily Using my home WIFI and every thing........

SO WHAT YOU ALL HAVE TO DO IS....


>>>>> WHILE DOING SWITCH OFF/ON

PLEASE beware: while "Activating data network" might have got your wi-fi to work (for reasons that escape me), it also - in my experience - allows your phone to use 3G, which means it will start streaming data over your operator's network... I turn this off 90% of the time because my contract doesn't include 3G browsing, and I have to pay pretty dearly for it when I use it!
Maybe it's more common these days to have 3G included in cell phone contracts...!? I just thought it might be good to point this out.

Oh... by the way, since I've tried the codes suggested above, my phone doesn't connect to my wi-fi at all. Before, it sometimes stopped working but all I had to to do was switching it off and back on. Now even that doesn't work anymore... :confused:

I feel stupid, because most people here seem to have solved their problem.

I'm on a Galaxy Ace with 2.2.1, not familiar with routing yet...
 
Hi! i got samsung galaxy mini gt5570. i am connected to a network and signal strength is healthy . but inspite of that i am unable to connect to internet. all applications using internet are not responcing. help me please
 
For those with wifi disconnection issues on your stock mini, give this a try. I would always keep losing the connection. Go to the "router" page of your wifi router. Find an option called "Lease Time" or something similar (Keyword here is "Lease"). If u see that the selected option is "Forever" change it to any other option like "Two weeks" or anything except "Forever". I read about it in some blog and it worked for me. If you need more detailed step, let me know..
