I notice after I connect my NT to my home wifi, it says "connected, testing...", instead of just "connected".
Has anybody else seen this? I just wonder if it drains battery if wifi is constantly testing the network. Is there a way to decipher this?
I had it happen a few times a few weeks back, yep. Turned out I had a loose/iffy cable on my wifi router, so check that first. Then reboot the wifi router and make sure it's functional on another device (does that show as fully connected?).

The problem here may be my old Linksys router (the ubiquitous WRT54G), but my tablet never has this issue, nor have roommates' laptops and PCs. Most of the time, but not always, my phone fails to reconnect to my home network when it wakes from sleep.
Usually I just toggle Wi-Fi off, then back on, and it finds the network. I've never actually gone into network settings to see what's happening there, and of course now that I'm trying to recreate the problem, Wi-Fi's connecting like a champ
Any ideas what's going on here?
Here's the outline of the problem:
I'm able to use the wifi to browse the internet and whatever. I turn the screen off and wait maybe half an hour. When I turn it back on, it says it's still connected to my wifi network, but I can't go to any websites. When I look at my Elixir widget, I see that the signal strength is 0%. The only way to fix it is to turn off the wifi and turn it back on, since there's no disconnect button.
Does anyone else have this problem, and is there a solution?
It's like the phone is half asleep and was about to disconnect from the wifi network, but stopped somewhere in the middle.
Seems to be a major problem for a select few on gingerbread roms. I suffer from it on DSC 0.65. A workaround for it is to use WiFi Reassociate (free on the market). For more information look here:

My wifi connection often wrong, always in after a period of using, have no access to the Internet. Every time the wifi turned off to open another can get to the Internet, can wifi signal is always full. I searched a lot of method to did not solve, including XDA * # # 0011 turn off on wifi power save mode, when problem solving, but after a while just the same. And with only G mode and so on route, are not solutions. Change a lot of Rom, the kernel baseband all not line.Who's a way to solve?
I am not sure if this is the case but - have you tried different router? My S3 for example has issues when I go to my friend's house (he has some old/er Belkin router). However, when I am home wifi is blazing fast and no issues what so ever (cisco e3000).
my phone has a slight different problem, the phone detects strong signal for all my wifi, but will only save it, and not connect right away, some will not even connect, and sometime the speed is very slow.

I am sure there is no porblem with the router,SGS2 and IP4s with the same router is fine.
I'm getting WIFI problems when waking from deep sleep. My settings are set to keep WIFI on when sleeping only when plugged in, as i find this extends my battery life a little more.
Sometimes it reconnects when waking up, and other times it doesn't and i have to turn WIFI off and then on again to force it to scan and reconnect. If i don't do this and check WIFI, it says it's scanning, but never finds or connects to a network.
Anyone else get this?! I read somewhere about sleep of death on GS2?
There is a known problem with the wifi, I have just changed my phone and so far evrything is working.
been through 9-10 phone with different problems.
Ok, i've tried turning off WIFI power save in the system settings *#0011#
I'll report back with my findings in terms of waking from sleep and possible additional battery drain...
Turning off powersave didn't help on my speeds tho. My SGS2 can pull around 5-600KBs a second, while my SGS3 only pulls roughly half despite being at the roughly same location (ie laying next to each other)
Hi i went from stock ics on my ray to cm9 by followingnexact step by step guide provided by cm9. Used their kernel as well. Have never modded my phone before. Having a small problem with wifi though. After my phone has been asleep for a while, if i wake it up the wifi icon in status bar is no longer blue its a dark grey and i can no longer browse anything or use the internet. Ive tried rebooting. I did the whole wipe cache etc when installing cm9. In wifi settings in advanced ive also left the setting to "leave wifi on when sleep" checked. If i turn off and on the wifi connection the phone ofcourse is able to reconnect again the icon is blue and i can connect. It not jsut a one off thing its been happening since i isntalled the rom.
If i wakek from sleep a few minutes later i have no issue with wifi. Its only when its been sleep for a while do i have this issue.
Any solutions?
I have the exact same problem but for me it's even bigger, whenever i turn on wifi on my modem, i can connect to internet on my phone, but after awhile i lose my connection completely, on my phone and on my pc also, the only way to get it back is to reset my router and wait for like 5-10minutes...

If its also an issue with your. Pc then your issue might be also the router.
My other devices actually work fine in my case its oky this phone that has issues. Macbook iphone ipad nexus s no problems with those.
Same issue here. I can see available networks but unable to connect. There should be no problem with the wifi router as all my other devices work well and I have tried another router. Now I have to flash back to stock firmware.

Your issue seems more severe than mine. Mine actually connects and works, just that when it wakes from long sleep it wont work until i turn off and on wifi.
I get this problem too, but my problem even worse than yours. My wifi lose it's connection after a while, but the icon on status bar shows it's connected, running ping test, browse, even play store can't be accessed. I pinged the router and got unreachable.
And yeah, this problem occurs when I'm using all ICS based rom..
Anybody has any idea if this is a known problem, or if its just us few having thisissue?

I have same problem. I have SE xperia mini with CM9. WiFi worked fine until yesterday. Now phone can't connect to AP (full signal - try connect -> signal drops down), but sharing 3G internet over WiFi works fine. I cleared dalvik cache, but that didn't help.
Anyone else having problems reconnecting to a WiFi connection, or even seeing WiFi SSIDs after disconnecting from WiFi?
This happens to me intermittently. I have 5 WiFi SSIDs in my house. 2.4G and 5G from the FIOS router, and the same from a WiFi access point on another floor at the other end of the house, and a Guest network from the AP. I can normally see all of them from any point in the house, as well as half a dozen from nearby neighbors. And my s9+ normally connects, automatically, to my primary 5G connection without any problem.
But occasionally, after being out and coming back home, or after the phone has been asleep for a while, it won' see any SSIDs. Not mine, or the neighbors. I've tried scanning for WiFi networks, turning WiFi off, waiting a few, and turning it back on, but it doesn't see anything, and won't connect. I've even tried manually inputting the name of one of my access points, but the phone won't find it.
Turn on WiFi automatically is on, WiFi power saving mode is off (although I've had the same issue with it turned on), Keep WiFi on during sleep was set to While charging. I've changed it to always, but it will be a while to see if that helps.
The only way I've found to get it to see WiFi networks again is to reboot the phone.
Oh, and other devices, including other Android phones, see all the SSIDs without issue.
Any thoughts or ideas?
I have te same issue here, I can't find a fix.
Mine will not connect to mobile date after I turn my wifi off. I have to reboot the phone in order to be able to make a call or use data. It all seemed to happen when a pop up came on to enable wifi calling. I can't figure out how to turn that off.
I don't have acupp1's issue with mobile data, but I seem to have resolved the WiFi connection issue by not letting the phone turn WiFi off during sleep. Haven't had the problem since I changed that setting.
I got the same problem since I rooted
Been trying to figure out if its a VENDOR Firmware problem or what. I do know that every developer says its a bug with the s9 when rooting. I've personally watch the live log on TWRP when flashing and seen where it mounts the VENDOR Firmware and then unmounted at the end. So it could possibly be a problem between TWRP and the s9 ROMs idk know exactly yet but I'm looking for a solution also. But I'm going to try what you did with your WiFi then report back here.
