Android version 4.4.4. Came that way out of the box (bought it last week). What it does when I try to connect to my wifi is the following:
Status is "Obtaining IP address"
Signal is "Excellent"
Then..
Status is "Connecting"
Signal is still "Excellent"
And that's how it stays. Occasionally it will flash (like about 1-2 seconds) that it connected, but then goes back to "Obtaining IP address" again.
Very rarely it will say "avoided weak connection" even though I disabled that. I also disabled the optimization settings.
My 2 other devices - laptop and Nook - can connect so I know it's not my router.
I even moved the phone right next to the router, in case that would help. It didn't.
I haven't tried to connect it to any other wifi because, so far, I haven't been in an area that has public wifi (like McDonald's).
Really don't know what to do. I only have 500 mb data per month and I don't want to use it all up. Heck, before I found out how to turn it off, it was downloading my gmail every time I connected to the 3G network, so I am aware of my data usage and do not want to go over.
Hope someone can help me.
