Hi

I have a Samsung Galaxy S running Android 2.1, which I bought in NZ (but I think was parallel imported from France).  It's a nice phone, I like it.

I'm using a 2degrees prepay phone/data SIM.  All works fine. Mobile data, email, browser etc, now on the 3g and previously the 2g networks

However, when I try to connect to any wifi networks in NZ, the phone finds the network fine, and request the password (if required), and says it is connected, but none of the internet functions on the phone work - no browser, email, navigation, etc.

I was in the US for a couple of weeks recently, and the phone connected to wifi just fine, and then all the services worked fine.  While there, I had the mobile data roaming switched off, and also the background data sync off.

However, having returned to NZ, even if I turn off the same settings, same problem recurs.  It even doesn't work if I take the SIM out and fire up the phone without a SIM.   It will connect to the wifi network but no joy once connected.

Happy to provide any other info requested

Any suggestions?  

Andrew
