Well, it seems that we have our first bug over here. Some of those who bought the SGS3 here in Spain are suffering a strange bug which shows an error when trying to use S-Voice while using 3g.
I tested it myself and it does the same, with WIFI it works flawlessly but with 3g it's showing that error although i can use the web browser, facebook or whatsapp without any problem at all.
Are any of you having the same problem with your Galaxy S3?
My only problem with s3 right now is that it wasn't delivered yet. I'm still waiting :-(
Mesaj postat de pe Samsung Galaxy S2!

Hahaha well i know most of you don't have it but there are a lot of people in Dubai with it for example and probably some others around the globe.
I'm not a big fan of Siri/S-Voice but let's hope it gets fixed soon.
Ok just to let you know, i fixed it by putting 2 APN entries in blank(Proxy and Port)
if you did that,then how do you have internet access now with 3G?
I don't know but it is still working, maybe it's something related with spanish ISPs

My WiFi keeps dropping - and it's really bugging me now. Every few seconds it'll drop switch to GPRS (arrrgh) and then reconnect to the WiFi.
Any connections I have open are immediately dropped - which is really frustrating.
The problem only happened since I upgrade to KJ1 O2 ROM - which is all stock, no root etc.
I have two access points, one on channel 2 and the other on channel 13, which are both free (I live in the sticks, no competition for wifi, but also no 3G) - when I disable one of my access points, the connection stays stable. I've tried running on each of them alone and it's fine.
As soon as I switch back to having both (which I need to cover my house) it starts dropping connections again. I assume it's jumping between the two, but it's not handling it correctly.
I don't have any issues roaming around with any other devices (although this is my only Android one).
Does anybody else have this issue or any ideas?
So... just me then?

no it's not just you ... i had the same problem, i searched over the internet and found this :
1. this bug is present and known for many years but no one cares to fix it.
2. it seems to appear when you use the same ssid but on two (or more) different devices.
3. it appears only with certain devices ... so i'm planning to change one of them (the one that costs less ) and see what happens ...
i'll let you know.
did you find any solution/workaround ?
ohh , i forgot also to mention that i tested this using a samsung galaxy note and a samsung galaxy Y , both had similar issues.
however on my samsung galaxy tab 10.1 everything worked perfectly , as it did for my laptop ....

I have in work 3 different wifi hotspots, all have the same SSID and WPA passwords. 2 of these have an little overlap in their coverage.
I have no wifi problem on my SGSII (running GB and ICS) when I walk from one area to another.
The wifi-standard is full of flaws. You can do all kind of crazy stuff against networks.
Anyway, as they aren't running on the same channel, try this:
Set different SSIDs.
Set different encryptions (just NOT WEP!) - set one to WPA and one to WPA2.
Try standing directly next to one and look it the stability of the connections changes.
Just some ideas...

what is the maker/model of your access points ? are they all the same ? the bug is known to present in some brands and only if you mix them with others ...
Hello. I bought a S3 Pebble Blue 16gb about 6 months ago. The prone its not locked and camed from Free Mobile network in France. Since then I had wifi problems ... signal dropping, constant speed 5Mb, no wifi N. I waited for new firmwares ... tried modified ROM's like Omega but still no luck. With the new ROM for France JZO54K I can see some small improvements (the wifi connects a little faster and there is a small increase in speed) but the wifi is still pretty unusable. I have 3 different Wifi N Routers at Home and all connect for a brief time at 65MB or &@ in wifi N and then drops to wifi B or G down to 5MB or 1 MB. When I connect for 30 seconds the internet works well but after that u cannot use it anymore ... the speed is very very low. The 3G network works a lot faster than my wifi. I have tried different routers and the same results. I invited 2 of my friend with Galaxy s3 and their phones connect ok in wifi N 72MB to my router. I have a Iphone and Ipad that both work well on my network so the routers are out of the question. I have tried all the "fixes" i could find on the internet with no luck. Do you think this could be a problem that the guarantee could fix it? I dont want to send the phone and to get it back the same when they see that the wifi works ... but with 5mb ....
I made a small movie to explain the "things" better.

I have the same problem, although my phone worked perfectly for about 6 months. I thought in the beginning that my WiFi chip was broken. through multiple drops from small distances. But I can't help you more then just saying that I have EXACTLY the same problem. The WiFi at home works for my PC, MAC, Ipad, Iphone(s), and all my other media, flawlessly. So the only thing I can think of is that we join forces and search the forums and keep track of new ways to fix the issue. Good luck and please post back if You find the solution.
Thanks for the reply. I'm considering calling Samsung for the waranty but I allready know their answer ... "does the wifi works ? ... yes ... Well there is no problem" and the waiting time in France I heard its from 2 to 6 weeks ...
There are some smart solutions one can try but they require some software on Pc and so forth. Look at the post named (my galaxy s3 won't connect to wifi), on the Q&A section for sgs3 here. They give some tips

Hi dude.
Now after some time I have a working phone. This phone has given me more then one headache. The wifi problem I had seemed to be kernel specific. When I started with faryaabs supernexus rom M1 (latest) the phone seemed to work. Instead the phone startes freezing. I solved this to through the DFG method in the ulultimate freezing thread here on xda. So my recommendation is to root install cmw recovery and try faryaabs latlatest rom. Heck you might like it.
Im currently on the leaked 4.2.2 touchwiz. Works ok!!
Cheers
Niko

Hello everybody, this is my first post in XDA.
I'm in a dead end with my phone, and after checking the whole forum and of course googling for an answer I can't find, here I am.
I've got a Samsung S3 i9300 (Int) which was functioning perfectly well with Ultima ROM 10.1. Now I tried to move on to 11.0 and found out my WIFI stopped working. Actually, it's able to connect to a non secured network but is unable to cope with wpa2 for instance. For some reason, it tags every network as WPS and fails to connect every time.
Strangely, I tried with a couple of other ROMs (Omega 44.2, Slim, NeatROM) and I have the exact same problem.
But if I move back to CyanogenMod 10.1 or stock, it works perfectly.
Can anyone help me out here?
THANKS!!
I had this exact same problem and banged my head against the wall over it and ended using just wpa, when I get time I'm going to attack the problem again though!

Well yes, but having this amazing phone and having trouble to connect to WIFI on a bar or something... sounds way too un-cool for me!
I hope someone has a solution for this,.. or at least a hint!
Have you tried using custom kernels such as Perseus or Siyah.
The kernel includes the Wifi drivers but not the wpa_supplicant so it should !e easy to pinpoint what causes it.
Also a logcat would be nice.

I had a look at that post, and I've tried most of those without any luck, and the one I haven't tried like an extreme wipe, I'm not willing to. I know it's not flawless logic what I'm going to say, but I think that if it works with some ROMs, it can't be solved by wiping.
So heres a real annoying problem, so much to the point im starting to become depressed :/
Nothing major change that i know of, my phone worked great until like a week ago. The problem is with the wifi.
It connects and all, bit it acts as if its just slow connection, but its not because on my computer / laptop its fine. for example, youtube wont load a video, i cant download a single thing from the play store, even facebook is acting wierd. But as i said its connected to the wifi.
Now for the last weekend i went up to my brothers, and the wifi on my phone worked flawless. This is what confuses me. :/
Original s3, no root or nothing, jellybean ofc.
Any ideas anyone? :/

I got a router, and all devices connect to that, what i mean was the problem i dont think it can be with the internet itself because this issue dont occur on any other devices. if that makes sense.. :S
Your S3 has definitely got a unique IP address? You haven't set it static have you?

Yep, Its set to DHCP. So i guess, because the other option is static.
Yep. Good to rule out.

Edit: I fixed it, apparently there was an issue with the sim card and they changed it for me. Even wifi was unstable imagine that!
My 12T Pro has an unstable network whether it is through wifi or through cellular network. Whenever I test it through the mobile network diagnostics it shows normal results. But.. and sorry to say this, whenever I am on TikTok it says unstable network sometimes.
And when playing a game called Rush Royale it disconnects me very often..
I bought this phone a few months ago so it is very frustrating for me..
I searched Google for answers I could not find any that solved my issue.
I updated my device to the latest version.
I live in The Netherlands.
Kind Regards!
