[QUOTE="vortex_mak, post: 1255106, member: 16663"] Guys?? Are any of you having this problem ? Never had the problem when I was on 2.1 , since I installed 2.2 , after a few days this problem of getting stuck on "Obtaining IP address" has cropped up whenever I tturn on WiFi and try to connect to my router. I have tried all of these fixes - connecting from AllShare : worked Static IP : worked Changing SSID from hidden to visible : did not work Changing Channel : did not work Installing Wifi fixer : did not work Restarting the phone : did not work Factory resetting the phone : worked for a few hours resetting router to factory settings : did not work Changing from mixed to either b or g : did not work This is a problem with DHCP client as the trouble appears when getting an IP automatically not setting a static IP and most probably this is an issue with the Android DHCP client. It cannot be any router settings related problem as my phone was able to connect to the same router earlier, moreover 2 laptops, one Samsung Wave and my friends Galaxy S are running off the same router at the same time, only my phone has this problem. Moverover, this problem is also happening with HTC and Motorola Android phones as well. Although we can use the workarounds, this still does not fix the actual issue. We cannot try all these fixes with an infrastructure router or public routers. We need to push Samsung to fix this problem, we should comment on their facebook page and log bug requests. The GPS issue was not a day to day issue , this is. [/QUOTE]
