Cause of “Failed to Obtain IP Address” Android Error

The most common source of the error is a router issue. Either your device was intentionally blocked, or the connection problem is due to a router problem. It’s also possible that your Android’s own network hardware or software is malfunctioning or corrupt.

You can try rebooting your phone when it gets stuck on the “Obtaining IP Address” screen. This will do a soft refresh on the phone, which might might fix the issue for you. Press and hold down the Power button on your phone to display the power menu, then select Restart if you see that option.
