WHAT firmware and what version of whatsapp are you using?
Is your wifi kicking out a good signal?

I have the exact same thing, no matter what Rom, firmware, kernel, version of Whatsapp, router, modem, whatsoever. It sometimes just happens, no idea why.
When this happens I have a good signal. I'm on 2.3.6, and have the latest whatsapp version.

What did the Whatsapp developers say when you contacted them?
yeah these issues still exist... got it now on my device.
got I9100 on latest cm10 nightly (8th Sept.) with latest whatsapp version. and if you read all comments on the market you'll see that many ppl got these problems. sad
same issue here with i9300 stock ics
it works only on mobile data and when i turn the wifi on Whatsapp doesn't work
tired of deleting and reinstalling but same issue !!!
BTW my device is not rooted ..
i have been using what's app for good 4-5 months now and today i just got this issue. whats app won't work on wifi unless i turn it off and turn 4g on. i tried uninstalling and deleting the folder and did a clean install. it still won't work.
Just hit me last night
Got the same prob since last night!!!
tired to uninstall and reinstall it + boot my device million times and still won't work over wifi but my damn slow edge network!!
i have sent a email to whatsapp costumer's service and still waiting for their reply
These are issues related to the whatsapp Servers or sth. For me it works again. Without reinstall and so on. Just wait ... and tell them bout the problems
I've had this same problem for at least 6 months... doesn't work on WiFi but is fine on data...
What seems to happen is when you turn on WiFi it works fine for a while... but then stops getting or sending messages completely... just sometimes randomly it may start working again... say if you have lots of messages backed up to receive... at times it may start working again... but that means asking you people to bombard you with messages and still its not a sure shot solution...
Quite annoying I must say... especially considering reception is really bad in lots of areas and WiFi is the only way...
WIFI Whatsapp
Sort of same problem here, when i am on wifi and whatsapp and my phone is on there is no problem receive and send.
But when the phone is on standby after 10 to 15 min no more messages receiving, wifi is on.
when i turn the phone on and open whatsapp the messages pop in....
On data without wifi no problem.
WIFI setting always on.
Same problem buy not consistent. I have found a kind of fix, if your rom supports it, I use the long press back to force close function, then restart usually solves it. Alternately, pressing home, then swiping it off the task switcher sometimes helps too. Sometimes all you have to do is wait it out.
Was this problem solved in any of the updates. It appears as though I'm having this problem on one of my phones. It's the stock ROM with great wifi signal.
EDIT: I realize this is the S2 forum and my problem is an the optimus, but I am inclined to believe this is a whatsapp problem

The same problem started happening in the past couple of days. I a using CM 9.1. I enabled the Kill Application on long press of back button and you're right--After I did that and launched WhatsApp, the waiting messages (with the clock icon) went through and I got a check mark, then two.
Weird. All the other apps are working fine with Wi-Fi.
Same problem on my HTC sensation

I travel a lot and i was in India Last week and this week i am back in germany and it suddenly stopped working on saturday.
Any Solutions would be really appreciated.
Try this! Worked for me !!
I used VPN which worked for me . But i wanted a permanent solution. So I upgraded the modem firmware. Now it is working fine
Sorry to post here, but Im facing the same problem on my galaxy s5. I've tried a lot of things and nothing seems to fix it. I've changed my wifi router and the problem persists.
anyone came with a solution?
The problem is on the wifi router. I changue my router two days ago and i hadnt no problem with the old one.
If you retry to download pictures, it gonna works, but its really slow. Try to changue your wifi router to a newone
***********SOLUTION*****************
Guys,
I have also faced the same problem and here is the solution:
There is a Problem which started on 10th November. BSNL has blocked whatsapp.. BSNL users can not use whatsapp through wifi or dongle.
But there is a solution for this.. :
Install " vpn one click" or "Easy Surf VPN" app
Connect to India server
Or any country
Once ur done with this, u can use whatsapp and all the other sites blocked by BSNL
Enjoy Whatsapping

Hi guys,
Me and my girlfriend have both a Samsung Galaxy S2 running the official ICS 4.0.3.
Since the upgrade to ICS, Google Talk won't connect on WiFi anymore.
When I use the 3G network, Google Talk works fine. As soon as I connect to any WiFi network, GTalk goes offline and I am unable to send/receive instant messages.
As I said, me and my girlfriend have the same issue! And it appeared only after upgrading to ICS.
GTalk version is: 4.0.3-239410 (330)
I already performed a factory reset of both phones and also of my home router.
Any other internet application (Google Play, Internet, Facebook, etc...) work fine on WiFi.
I have also searched the internet but there are only a few others affected and there is no solution provided to their problem.
Solved
Hello again!
As I said, me and my girlfriend had the same problem. 2 days ago, the battery of my girlfriend's phone went empty and the phone turned off completely. We never tried to turn off the phones completely until now.
After she turned on the device again, Gtalk started to work also on WiFi.
Then she told me that Gtalk is woring again and I restarted my phone.....of course it didn't work for me. Then my idea was to also turn off my phone completely. After turning it on again, BOOM !! Gtalk started working also for me!!!!
I have no logical explanation for this, but I am really happy that I can use Gtalk from home now, when connected via WiFi.
So, reboots didn't help, but complete shut down did help.
I have the same problem on S3. My GTalk also started to work after turning off my phone. But then I went out for a while and phone was connected to 3G. When I came back there was the same problem again, phone connected to Wifi and GTalk offline. In this case turning off helps again but I think it isn't best solution for this issue.

I have just bought S3 few days back . Its with Jelly bean 4.1.2. I am facing the same issue. Notification works fine in mobile network but not in home WIFI. The problem starts only if I change twice in between wifi to mobile ( wifi -mobile -wifi ). I am using notification for Facebook messenger and Gtalk. I tried to do factory reset or hard reset or tried in friend's WIFI but nothing works to that problem. Only i thing I see, it works if I reboot the phone then the notifications start to work again in WIFI also.

I updated to OTA jb 4.1.1 3-4 days ago
till yesterday, wifi was working normal but from today morning I see some weird problem.
When i try to connect my phone to my home's wifi, it gets connected. After that I open any internet based app, for the first time it works. then the internet stops.
I mean the wifi symbol is still there on the status bar but. it doesn't work.
I can't open any web pages, i have to turn wifi on-off to make it works, after loading one page it stops again.
But internet from the pc is working.
I tried restarting, keeping battery out for sometime, nothing happens.
What should i do?
Facing this problem first time in 5 months after updating to Jelly bean/

I have tried both the things already.
friendly bump
I have same problem as you have, like it took me sometime to finally figure it out. Try resetting your router. You see this small hole at the back of the router, hold & press it for about 20-30 seconds. Your router will now be restored to its factory settings, then connect your S3 & voila! your device is good to go.
I had the same problem at home once, I tried everything from wiping caches to reinstalling my rom. Turned out it was my router so yeah the guys above are probably correct.

Did you ever try pressing the router hole for about 20-3- seconds? If it still didn't work, try manually input the your static IP. That worked too with me,
I don't have idea about static ip
And I've seen, while my screen is on. . WiFi remains connected and if I lock screen even for a second. .WiFi goes off

Hi, Had same issue with WiFi, was doing my head in.
Problem for me was bad update from the OTA update,
go into recovery and factory reset wipe data, and cache, if still no luck then
your best solution which worked for me was download the full Samsung Official Firmware Stock from samfirmware (Google it)
and use odin to redo the phone.
Hope you get sorted. :good:
Go somewhere else with available WiFi, try connecting, if you succeed with no following issues, it's your WiFi router, if you can't connect to any other available WiFi, it's your phone, reflash ROM and test.
Have you tried turning power save mode off. In the dialer dial *#0011# then press menu button then WiFi then where it says on, turn it off. Be aware that it goes back on after every reset of your phone.

And as for it going off when your screen is off go to WiFi settings - advanced - and change the option about WiFi when screen off to always on.

I have the exact issue. I tried everything here:
* Doing static ip on my phone
* *#0011# turning wifi power save mod to off
Still the issue. I didnt reset the router as my wife's s3 does not have and also this is issue is happening to other routers as well. Please help...
same issue
i have the same issue. I just bought a new S3 four days ago. Wifi of that stopped working exactly after 1 day of the purchase. Same symptoms , it worked at my home for a day and stopped on 2nd day. After stop and restart of the wifi, it again started but then after one page being opened, it again stopped. Tried "forgetting" the wifi uid , it didn't work. Stopped the wifi power saving mode, no gain. The version is stock JB 4.1.1 (came preinstalled) . On the other router, it did work but I am sure(though haven't confirmed) that it woudl stop after a day too.
After this issue, I changed my handset from the seller(original Samsung retail shop) and now, after 2 days, it again stopped today working, on almost the same time again. The same router is used by two ipods, two laptops and one HTC One X and it's working fine. I am not sure what to say to the seller now as he simply won't agree to me but the issue is clearly there. Any help please!
I too am having this problem after updating to 4.1.2. It helps to turn off the wifi then turn it back on, and but I don't want to keep having to do this.

Sounds like an ip related issue.. Your phone remains connected to the local network but can't find it way to the Internet (dns), right? . Try setting a static ip or soft reset the router every time it happens (turn it off and then back on). Try even locating the router somewhere it doesn't get too hot. These work for me

Hi,
But this issue never came up in the ICS and with the other devices , it's working fine. Also, can you guide how to set the static IP for the GS3?
Thanks and regards
---------- Post added at 04:09 AM ---------- Previous post was at 03:31 AM ----------
Okay, did a little Google search and found how to put static IP. Gave it now but still, no joy. Ironically, yesterday , after doing a lot of search I found that I should enable "dynamic routing" on the router. I did that and internet started. Worked for the night and today morning , it stopped and now not working at all.
Any help please!
Even I have this problem on my S3 LTE version on Jelly Bean 4.1.1. Trying hard reset and changing settings on router or fixed ip on phone won't be of any help. I tried all these and the problem comes back within no time. So don't waste time. Send the unit for repair or replacement. Think of it this way, if there is a problem with your router or other routers, your other devices would also have a similar problem so suggest not to tinker with router settings. Problem is with the phone. Whether there is a problem with hardware and/or software, it's Samsung's headache to deal with. Planning to send the phone for repair shortly. Fed up with Samsung. Previously had a problem with bluetooth and screen on S2 and now Wifi. Irritating.

My girlfriends XU is acting up ultimately weird..
Since some time we have this problem:
Wi-Fi only works for about 3 minutes when connecting to a wifi signal, yet the wifi signal icon indicates as if it has a good connection. The only way to regain connection again is to reboot, but then the same problem repeats itself, after a few minutes wi-fi is not working anymore. Also in the wifi-indicator the "send" arrow works, the "receive" arrow doesn't.
Basically if you want to discover a new wi-fi connection you need to reboot the phone also, because otherwise the previous connected wi-fi signal remains (it freezes as stated before after about 3 minutes).
Tried a factory reset already.. Didn't work. The phone runs the stock sony android 4.0.4.
Any idea's ?

Someone one the official forum had a similar problem and it was fixed by repairing the phone using SUS.

Try to flash a new modem (I suggest you DL8).
Note that you have first to root the device before flash it with Odin.
