Hi.
Sometimes in the wifi section of my T-mobile 635 phone it will show my connection as having "no internet access" instead of "secure". It reflects this in the notification area by showing the wifi as "limited".
Meanwhile in reality when it shows no internet access/limited the internet works fine. I can check out websites and do anything. So obviously this is not a big issue since my internet always works but still it has me curious why it does that.
Even when I got the phone and it did the initial setup and it asked me for the wifi password, it stated it could not get on the internet. I indicated to do it anyway and it did the install.
I'd say about half the time it connects it will show no internet access. One thing I've notice is that whenever it shows this it is usually slow to show it as opposed to very quickly showing "secure". Once it is secure, it stays that way for the session until i restart or turn on.. then it may be secure again or show "no internet access" with internet working regardless.
I can often make it show secure by going into the wifi sense settings (which i usually just keep off) not doing anything and coming out of them. Also, turning on an off the wifi or restarting can often make it go secure. I tried the usual for a permanent fix like soft reset, router restart etc but it's no help. Again though, the internet always works.
Thanks for any thoughts.
