Same issue
I had a similar issue on wifi after the update but not as severe as yours. It is only twice that the wifi did not want to turn on and even the phone was shut down on its own but after that it is working fine so far. I flashed it using Odin and did not wipe the phone. Try flashing the rom before ICS and install ICS by Odin without wiping the phone.
I tried to reinstall the update via kies, and now wifi is working

I can confirm the wifi problems, and actually my phone has been crashing a lot. actually I had to remove the battery in order to continue using it.
I have a theory that it is caused by wifi or 3g, last night I disabled both 3g and wifi and in the morning the phone didnt crash overnight.

but soon as i turn the AIRPLANE MODE off the wifi disconnected and cannot turn it on again until turn back the AIRPLANE MODE again.

I had the same thing after update, but my bootloader was unlocked. After locking it, everything worked again.
Maybe it will help you.

didn't fix mine.
I had been able to put phone in "airplane" mode, reboot and get wifi to work. now that doesn't seem to be working...
Really irritating when I am overseas and not going to be back on a us network anytime soon... I was reading on the motorola forum, when it was working, that the issue may have something to do with the phone not registering with the correct network... IDK the validity of that though.
I had the same issues before. It is related to sprint software. The best way is to have the phone rooted and then use titanium backup to freeze an app called sprintomaden or since you are using gsm you can delete all sprint related software in system/app. I am sure you will have no further problem.

My wifi was alright with original 2.3.3 gingerbread. But after flashing to 4.0.2.A.0.42 it started to crash and reconnect every 10-15 sec. I thought that problem is with my router, tried to reset it, but the same problem.Connected with my Huawei u8650 and it worked fine. So i understood, that problem is with phones wifi. I searched the interned and all xda forum, but find nothing. So i ask for help.
Thanks.
Ensure you clear cache dalvik cache, data and full reset before flashing.
Suggest you wipe all user data, caches, dalvik indeed and then see if it happens again.
If it repeats then SE firmwares do have a history of having wifi problems, especially the 2.3.3 ones of 3.x.x..
Is there an echo on here?
+ Wifi fine on 2.3.4... OP is on .42 so no issue.
Could be wifi scan intervale

NO - You don't need to do that. WiFi will reconnect and stay connected perfectly well if setting is sleep with screen off. Or bye-bye battery life.
Their problems are more likely due to the way they updated their firmware. i.e. without a FULL reset and clearing data/cache (both caches). Or coming from a custom ROM or kernel. Or sh*te router.

i tried that too, but as i said, it also happens with the screen on, like talking via gTalk and the wifi disconnects and reconnects, when i bought the phone was in 2.3.3 and wifi worked great, even better than the iPod,so, this issue appeared with the .42 (2.3.4) update.
just installed the .62 update, i still have the Wifi Issues =/!
Just updated to .62 firmware, and i'm still having the wifi issue =/
How? Did you clear caches, full reset?
No, i updated using PC companion,I have the phone stock because the warranty

Suggest you do a full factory data reset and then update.
How many Wifi APs have you tried?
Hello,
I became a proud owner of S3. As it usually happens to me there is the problem. Namely, from time to time problem happens to me when I'm using any web browser or anything that requires an Internet connection. Say for example Opera. I'm browsing pages and suddenly ... BOOM ... 3-5 second pause in the connection over WiFi (energy saving is off and in WiFi settings - I did it via code, in the service menu). Sometimes Internet connection breaks when I'm browsing menu or writing an SMS. For example: I browse the menu and suddenly I see - WiFi stamp disappears and after a while there is info about that phone is connected again. This is the first problem.
The phone is lying, WiFi operates in the background. When I Pick up the phone and when I'm clicking home (or power) button I get the lock screen and. .. freeze. Phone is disconnected from WiFi and only time the phone reconnects to WiFi I can unlock the screen.
On what ROM were the problems? On the Stock LF2, ROOTed LF2, Omega 7.1 - 9.0 and AOKP Milestone6.
And also it does not work automatic refresh of weather (at 1 h interval) on stock widget (the Samsung weather widget).
Sorry for my bad English.
Why couldn't you have just set your wifi to never turn off in settings, wifi, advanced.....it's practically the same thing....I wouldn't be messing around with the service menu. I would wipe data/factory reset and start again bud but this time, stay away from the service menu as it's for technicians and phone repairs etc I've not once touched the service menu....

I found the same problem ever since I upgraded to LH3 (the latest official release at this moment). The lock screen is frozen if: I had the WiFi Switched On, screen off either manually or timeout, then disconnected (say if I walk away from the wifi service area). When I press Power or Home button to wake the device, the lock screen is frozen.
Seems no freeze if wifi remains connected. Seems no freeze if wifi power saving mode is off (disabled via *#0011# (but setting won't stay if unit is power off).
Did both Cache wipe (didn't do factory reset) but makes no difference. Tried "never turn off" also makes no difference (probably because it will turn off anyway when connection is dropped)
The upgrade seems worser than before...
Any hints please...
This seems to be common but not always the same fix, my wifi constantly drops out and reconnects immediately (ruining any downloads/streaming) , i have tried the service mode, factory reset, different kernels, sleep time, static IP's, JB vs ICS Roms / Stock roms, you name it i have tried it and it STILL is doing it. Weird thing is..dont think it dropped out and reconnected when i was stock and unrooted, but as i said, tried stock rom and to no avail
Any ideas?
Bump

So I recommend; use a custom ics or jb rom to solve this problem
Cheers,

I have this issue on my galaxy note N7000, and only recently for like a month now and on various different ROMs all JB. Any updates on what the cause could be?
Go full unrooted stock and send the phone in for warranty repair. It's the smartest thing to do if a problem persists after lots of ROM switching and factory resetting.

That's would be the smartest thing to do, indeed. But... Warranty expired centuries ago.
Any clue what is causing this not uncommon problem?

Try visiting a(not crowded) place with public Wi-Fi, and see if the issue persists.
If it starts to work fine, get a new router, preferably with 802.11n support. If you buy a N compatible router, check all of your Wi-Fi capable devices for N support, and if one of them doesn't, make them N compatible(if it's a computer, get a new N compatible Wi-Fi card or USB reciever, if it's something else, well, you can't do anything else other than buying a newer version of it with N support, or not using that device's Wi-Fi feature at all) because your router will operate at an older mode even if one of your devices doesn't support N.
Hi folks!
Last week I updated my sgs3 via OTA from 4.0.4 to 4.1.1.
After this I rooted with CF.
Now I have three problems:
1.) Sometimes WiFi says thats connected and working, but noch data will transferred. I have to restart WiFi, and after this WiFi works fine for a while.
2.) Bluetooth connecting to my car-hifi with hands-free-set works sometimes, Butter suddenly it doesn't connect automatically to car-hifi. If I restart Bluetooth and tip on my car-hifi online list, all works fine.
3.) Alter root the phone has status "custom" and no OTA-updates are available anymore. I bought and tried TriangleAway, but this can't reset flash-counter or set status back to "original".
Is there someone out there who knows to fix problems? Are there other JB-users with same problems out there?
Best regards
Johannes

Hey guys, today what happened randomly on my S3 is that the internet stopped working - WiFi doesn't work although it's connected to a network, and nor does data - it doesn't connect, it's like it was off. I tried restarting my phone, turning WiFi on and off and it just doesn't work. Also what is very weird is that if I turn my phone off and turn it back on, mobile data will be turned on straight away, even though it doesn't work. What is going on? I'm running the latest nightly of Omni Rom 4.4.2 (I updated it after WiFi stopped working, so it's not a problem with the nightly).
Any help is appreciated!
After numerous reboots and reflashing Gapps it seems to be working again... Apparently it was a problem with Google services or something.
