I've been using SIII for last 4 days. 2 ~ 3 times after a nights sleep when i switch on the S3 from sleep mode it doesn't show wifi symbol and when I scan it doesn't find any hotspot. I have to switch it off and on again for it to connect to my router.
Anyone else has this issue?

Try going to settings -> wifi -> advanced
See if the setting "Keep wi-fi on during sleep" is checked or not. Turn it on if it's not, and let us know whether the problem is solved...

I had an old app for keeping wifi always on or off so i removed it and also changed the setting in wifi settings as only on when plugged in while in sleep mode. Lets see
Hi,
welcome to the club! I do have the same issue! I would prefer a software bug, because my phone is perfect, no display issues etc. .

download wifi fixer from play store . i had this same problem but the app fixed it !!!!!
Yeah I've got the same problem... Sometimes the wifi does come back but when it doesn't I turn it off and on. I've downloaded a widget to do that directly from homescreen, just to make it easier.

im having an issue with wifi staying on in standy, it seems as soon as my screen goes off i lose wifi connection. i cant understand it because i have ticked the option in power settings to keep wifi on in sleep mode and i've also restricted sleep mode in wifi. so my question does anyone else have this problem and is there a fix / is it just me.
thanks

use a program called screen off
when i have the wifi connection on for a long time and then turn it off... the data connection doesn't restart... this happens also when I lose the mobile network signal.
I have tried off and on the data connection, activate and deactivate the flight mode but nothing, the only solution is to restart the phone.
i have a 5380L phone and a 2.3.6 stock ROM
Please check with the wifi sleep policy. Also check the apn list . Delete unwanted apn lists .

Settings > Wireless & networks > Wi-Fi settings > *hit the menu capacitive button* > Advanced > Wi-Fi sleep policy.
Don't know if that will solve your issue, but that's where it is...
Hope that helps.
nop this doesn' t fix it... now also is happening randomly... i think the reason is a low signal from the mobile network... but does not reconnect, i can call, send sms, but I have no data connection
i rooted the phone with cf-root, i dont know if the kernel have a data control policy, i havent found anything about it
For a moment I thought the problem might be the baseband from the rom i have installed, but i have 3G in occasions

Change basebands or stock rom version. I had that problem once.
I've noticed that I'm losing Wi-fi connection very often. Its coming randomly... first for example I using browser Dolphin HD and connection is lost...
2nd - I turn Prime in the morning for the first time and doesn't work immediately.
After restarting it works, but this is happening now almost every day.
Wi-fi antenna shows half of signal so this should be working. But the problem is that antenna is in grey color instead of blue color.
U know if you click manage WiFi settings then click option screen there is a advanced setting where you can change WiFi to best preformance this should help you

I see no option for best performance in advanced settings????
Go to wireless settings hit manage WiFi access points hit menu then hit advanced then check box for performance

I think he is talking about the wifi disconnection policy. No such thing as "performance" in wifi settings.

About what kind of "policy" are you talking about ? i didn't hear anything about that..... what is that normal to lose wifi connection? nothing we can do?
At the wifi screen, at the very top right corner of your screen next to the add network button there is a button with 3 squares on it. Tap it, then tap advanced. Then change Keep Wi-Fi on during sleep.
Do a factory reset and see if you have same problem maybe its a bad update/flash
Sent from my Inspire 4G using XDA App
Also try restarting your modem/router and see if that helps. Sometimes the fault may not be on the device itself.
I also have this problem!! The wifi disconnects very often on my campus which makes things really annoying. It seems like an software issue to me though since restarting the wifi makes all the wifi networks display and connect again (until it disconnects again) I have yet to try the factory default solution though.
I still didn't fix this, internet is working fine during that time on PC, but Prime loses connection somehow, I just turned it on and he started of without Wifi connection...

When the Prime loses connection, the only solution that works for me is to turn my router off, then back on

I get back connection after restaring Prime, but that isn't really a solution doing it every day, its annoying at least.

You're lucky. Rebooting the router each time is a pain
WiFi connection
when i upgraded from Transformer to Transformer prime i had this problem constantly. I had to remove the WiFi network profile and re-add it. that seemed to fix the profile going in and out.
I am away form home now and facing some frustrating issues with my new S3.
1. I cant connect to any WIFI network though the WIFI connection has very good signal strength. I always get the msg 'Network disabled. Poor Connection'. There is nothing wrong with the WIFI as i can connect it with my laptop and my buddy could connect to it using his IPhone.
2. My roaming time is completely wrong. It does not follow the time of the country I am in. It is showing the same time as my home country network. Shouldnt it automatically detect the network and shows the correct time like Iphone?

1. Restart the router & try just using 2.4Ghz in settings > wifi > advanced
2. Ensure: menu > settings > date & time > check [auto date & time] and [auto time zone]

2.I have already check both auto date & time and auto time zone earlier. But the problem still persists.
Please help
Beginnin to regret my decision to get a S3. So complicating!
If you happen to have a case on, remove it and try again.

Did you find how to fix it? I've got the same problem with wifi and I'm in roaming now.

Hi, this is my first post, as I created my account specially with the purpose to answer you.
After being faced with the problem all day and reading all possible materials on the topic in google and here, my dad walked in and asked me why he is not able to connect to our home wireless connection.
This was when I retrieved my hope that the problem is not in the phone. And it was not! My iPhone, my laptop were able to obtain a internet connection in contrast to my other laptop and my S3! I restarted the rooter and everything was ok! Everbody got their internet dose !
So, most probably it isn't you!
Also have wifi problem, except it tells me it's an authentication error. I cannot connect to the WiFi unless I stand right next to it. Can't connect to WiFi anywhere (if you think it's the router in my house), even though the device detects the router. Sent it back to Samsung.

Hey, I experienced the same problem. But in my case, I am able to connect to the AP, if I am using a static IP address in the SGS3 instead of DHCP. Same router, no settings changed there. Just configured a static IP.
Cheers,
Jaegermeister
Same problem
Tried everything still not working, took it back to samsung they said it's working fine any other device is connecting without a problem but the S3 wont (i have 15 S3 with this problem)
Thanks
Bring back the phones to Samsung!

I'm also frequently getting the "Network disabled. Poor Connection" message when at home. I have 2 wifi routers:
- Buffalo WHR G54S
- Draytek 2920n
If I turn wifi off/on on the S3 it sometimes resolves the issue, but not always. Sometimes after turning off/on it shows a status of "Connected"but there is no internet connectivity. If I then switch to the other router I can sometimes (but not always) connect successfully.
I'm running Checkrom v5.5, and have tried both the Perseus and Siyah kernels - both have this problem.
Hey guys,
Is there any way to use Mobile Networks without turning Wifi off?
Currently, as soon as I turn Wifi On, if there's a know network around, it will connect to Wifi and obviously Mobile Network (3G) is not used...
However, is there any chance to still use Mobile Networks without:
- Turning Wifi OFF
- "Forget" known networks
Reason for all this is that I'm having an issue with my phone... When I turn Wifi On, it gets "stuck" turning it on, and the only way to get wifi connection is by turning phone off and then on again (seems like a known bug, but nothing seems to fix it)
So what I want to do is to keep Wifi On all the time, but always use Mobile Networks unless I want to connect to wifi...
Any idea?
I had the same problem a little while ago, other software worked for me.
There is a workaround that helped me when wifi was stuck
Go to settings and search wifi hot spot! Turn that on and off and try if the normal wifi is off again.
It doesnt work always, but you can try. But i would say put some new firmware on the phone!

if you go to settings, you see wireless&networks. you can click on "more"
you will see Tethering & portable hotspot click on it, and there is the option for the portable wifi hotspot.
enable it, and disable it again, next thing is to check if you can turn on wifi the normal way again.
i hope this helps for you!
Will give it a try!! Thanks!
