"Obtaining IP address" Loop on Stock KitKat 4.4.2

[ieldan]

No quarantees that this helps, but this worked for me and since it is easy and permanent solution You may want to give this a try first.
Go to your router setup and on the configuration for the Wireless Radio chance the channel number.

Best of luck, hope this helps at least some of You.

That IP Work around for the "Obtaining IP LOOP" worked for my Samsung Notebook 2.
As soon as I hit SAVE, it connected!

Nothing else had previously worked apart from shutting off my home router, and restarting it. Thanks for the solution!

Press these menu options on your phone: Settings > Wi-fi> (Choose your network by tapping on it for a few seconds) > Modify network config

Check "Show advanced options"

Choose IP Settings: "Static"

Enter these details
IP - 192.168.1.253 or 195.168.1.253 (I chose 192.168.1.253)

Gateway - 192.168.1.1 (I chose 192.168.1.1 since that's my router address)

NPL - 24

Netmask - 255.255.255.0 (I could not find this option)

DNS 1 - 8.8.4.4 or 8.8.8.8 (I had the latter by default and let it stay)

DNS 2 - 4.4.4.4

And save.

It just connected in a few milliseconds.

Spot on, sir. Many thanks indeed.

This worked for my moto g as well. Took me some time to realize that I have to retype the IP to be able to save changes!
