Why can't i get access to data network, or wifi but phone shows i'm connected

• Can you see your router from the tablet? If not, check to make sure that WIFI is enabled in the Android settings.
• Does your WIFI have a password? If so, you need to enter the password in the Android WIFI settings entry for your router.

Try this:

On you cellular phone go to the Data Network and turn it off then on. This helps me when I have the same issue. Im using an IPhone.
If you are unsure on how to get to your Network Data reply to this blog and I will try to give you the steps to access your Network Data.

Good luck!

Hi there,
It's important to understand how you can have data connection to your phone so as to access internet e.t.c.

Basics:
1. Access through the Network:
Mobile Providers (Vodafone, e.t.c.) provide data access to the users on request (or by default in some cases). This data access is through the NETWORK of the mobile operator and uses 2G, 3G, GPRS, EDGE protocols to access the network.
2. Access through WiFi or WAN:
A smartphone can access internet using the WiFi or WAN protocol (wireless lan). In order to connect to the WiFi network you need capability from your phone and also to find an Access Point of Wifi (AP) to connect to. WiFi networks are FREE or PAID. You can find free networks usually in central squares, caffee's e.t.c. Also, some providers (Vodafone, e.t.c.) provide WiFi APs and you can use prepaid cards or fixed contracts in order to access them.

Unfortunately your phone DOES NOT support the WiFi protocol, so you can only access internet through the 1st option.
In order to do that, we need that your operator allows the DATA traffic for you and we also need to setup your phone in order to accept/send DATA.

How to do it.
1. Mobile operator settings: Pls call your mobile operator and ask them if your number has DATA allowed (DATA plan, or DATA connectivity). If so, you are OK. If not, pls check the price rates (per MB or per usage time) and -if it's within your budget- ask them to activate DATA to your phone.
2. Phone settings: Your phone has the following symbols that indicate Data connection:
GPRS signal
EDGE signal
In order to setup the Data connection there are the following configuration options in your phone:
1. Menu -> Setup Wizard. Setup wizard can setup your phone for various tasks. Try it.
2. Menu -> Browser Settings. You can select the connection profile to be used for DATA.
take into account that in order to setup a DATA connection you need to setup the AP of the GPRS/EDGE as well (usually something like internet.vodafone.com)

...BUT the easiest solution your you is to call your provider, give your number and phone model/type and ask them to send you an automated message that has all the needed settings for your phone so as to have access to DATA.

You click on the message send and all needed settings are OK.
You can now access internet!







If above solution was helpful, pls rate it.
Thnx.

If your looking to use only wifi at times. You need to go into the setting and shut off the 3g data and have only the wifi option active.

Cellular data over rules wifi at all times. That's their little trick at getting you to use up all your data plan.

Here's the steps:

1. Go to Settings
2. Scroll to Network
3. Cellular Data - slid to OFF
4. Tap General on the top left
5. Tap Settings on the top left
6. Scroll up to Wifi and tap
7. Make sure Wifi is on and finding networks.
(Note: Only networks without the lock are public networks unless you know the pass code to log on)
8. Make sure Ask To Join Networks is to OFF
9. Click the arrow blue arrow on the network you connect too and make sure HTTP Proxy is set to OFF
10. You should Connect just fine

To reverse this and go back to Cellular data. Follow instructions 1 - 5 except you wanna turn Cellular Data back On.

Seems like your phone is functioning correctly.

You have disabled wi-fi so it is asking whether you wish to use Phone Data Connection instead. (Standard Practice when trying to access data services)

What you need to do is un-tick the option in options Use only 2g networks. (3g is the mobile data service) That should then allow you to access Mobile Data. (3g)

Also enable data enabled

If you haven't configured your phone to access the internet yet, and you want to do it through your network carrier's data plan, bear in mind their APN settings. Contact they, in case you don't know such data. Then, go to 'Menu > Settings > Wireless & networks > Mobile networks > Access Point names'. Once there, press 'Menu > New APN', and fill in a 'Name' for it, and, at least, your carrier's data under 'APN', 'Username' and 'Password'. Then, press 'Menu > Save'. Press the back button as many times as required for you to reach the home screen you were in, prior you started making these changes.

On the other hand, if you want to access the internet through wifi (e.g. your home's wireless network, or an internet cafe), go to 'Menu > Settings > Wireless & networks' and tick the 'Wi-Fi' checkbox, in order to turn your phone's wifi radio on. Then, tap 'Wi-Fi settings', and, if the network you want to connect your phone to doesn't appear on the available networks list (e.g. a hidden network), tap 'Add Wi-Fi' network' and fill in 'Network SSID', select the security method, and fill in the password, if needed. When you finish, tap 'Save'. You can also specify how your phone will use its wifi radio. Tap 'Menu > Advanced > 'Wi-Fi sleep policy'. Again, press the back button as many times as required to return to the home screen.
Hope it works for you.

Anyway, please, let me know if I can help you any further.

There are 2 ways to approach your problem.

1. Un-protect your wifi connection by removing the password. This is risky since other wifi gadgets can readily connect to your network.
2. Configure your Samsung phone to connect to your password-protected wifi. Make sure that the wifi protocol of your phone matches that of your wifi router. Example, make sure to set WPA or WPA2 on both device.
   

go connect the psp to a wifi network and surf the web do the following
go to the browser, type a web address like yahoo.com and network connection will show up select [new connection] then select scan and it will scan for nearby networks and if you find one you can use it, if the security shows up as none then just select ok untill you reach the end if there is a wep key or wap key then you need to obtain the key from the owner of the network.

hope i helped
