Galaxy Tab bug ~HELP
« on: May 01, 2011, 09:11:30 pm »
My Tab it recognizes my wifi yeah and it connected smoothly in the first month yet now it is not connecting. Gets stuck in *Obtaining wifi address*.

So i googled this problem and i found out Galaxy tab does not connect to wifi till it finds the old ip address it first connected through and since i have a dynamic ip it keeps on changing.

Any idea how to fix this.

I also bought a Nokia C 7 cool shiz but Nokia has fallen way behind Apple and Google.

Yeah i knew that actually but thanks anyway.

I just rebooted and it worked.

But i am not sure it will reconnect once it goes out of wifi range.
