How to Fix Obtaining IP Address Error in Android

Obtaining IP Address ErrorYou may have come across a constant and annoying “obtaining ip address” message when trying to connect to a network. And you may have also tried to fix it by downloading certain apps that claim to “fix” this error. I don’t recommend you to download such app as it could sometime cause more problems than it can solve. You can fix this error yourself in just a few steps.
Whenever you turn on your Wi-Fi, you device tries to the nearest connection. It scans and finds a network and tries to obtain IP address from it but it disconnects and start to scan for network again. This is what this error is all about. This is due to the Wi-Fi router that couldn’t assign an IP address for your device. To fix this error follow the following steps:

For Android version 2.x to 4.0

Go to Settings and select Wireless and Networks. Turn on Wi-Fi and enter Wi-Fi settings.
Press Menu and select Advance.
Check Use Static IP and assign the values according to the screenshot.
staticIP_2You can use IP address of your choice.
For Android version 4.1 and higher

Go to Settings and tap on Wi-Fi.
Turn on the Wi-Fi and connect to a network.
Long press on the connected network and select Modify Network.
Check Show Advance Options.
On IP Settings drop down menu, select Static.
Assign IP of your choice but leave other variable untouched.
This should solve the obtaining IP address error. Make sure you select a unique IP address so that it won’t conflict with other connected devices.

Thanks mate. Thank you very much. I was having a hard time getting my new M8s 4K box connected to the internet. Well it showed "connected" but all I tried I was seeing poor connection. I do have a Q7 box and there was never any problem in the setup. It worked straight out of the box.

Many many thanks to you. It is ONLY for you I have been able to set up Wi-Fi connection only for once. I do not know whether I will be able to connect again. I have changed the last 3 digits of my own choice. So many people have uploaded so many videos, I think yours is the best one. I will let you know again and if I face any problem I'll let you know. Bucketful of thanks.

I changed my androids MAC address ( rooted ) and now when I try to connect it tells me it failed to find ip address, but when I put the original MAC address back it works. Do you know a fix to this?
