Any WiFi tips and Bluetooth - Galaxy S III Q&A, (US Carriers)

My sags2 and Evo had great reception when I went to the bathroom or bedroom which is the same distance since the bathroom is in my room in the back. Now it can't keep a signal or stay on WiFi from any of those rooms. Anything I can do? I Bluetooth my phone too my car CD player and listen to Pandora. Is there a way to save my password to my CD player on the phone so when I click on my cd playeron my phone to connect I don't have to keep 're entering it. Or have it do like the WiFi and connect to it right away when I turn Bluetooth on. When I turn it on it says paired when my CD player pops up on the list.
Ooh.. and WiFi suckson this phone!!! :banghead:

My WiFi works just as well as my SGSII did...sorry you're having issues. Maybe go under Advanced and see if you can tweak it to better suit your needs?

Bluetooth "change" from N1 to T-Bolt?

I had a N1 previously and it used to pair with my Uconnect in my SRT without any problems. Now this Tbolt pairs and then promptly disconnects and will not re-establish the connection ever again.
Is this a different Bluetooth version then the N1? Anyone else having issues with the TBolt connecting AND maintaining a connection with any of their B.T. equipment?
Any suggestions on what I should try differently?
Have you installed any battery control apps that might be shutting off your bt?

I noticed mine won't auto connect to my kenwood unit in my car. BT-200 module. I can force it manually, but it should auto connect...my X used to w/o a problem.
The T-Bolt connects to my Jabra headset fine. I haven't installed any power mgmt apps that would be shutting off the BT.
It connects to my UConnect System in my Mopar and stays connected for 10 seconds and the disconnects itself. I can shut off the car , reboot the phone and turn on the car, turn on the phone and it will re-connect again for another 10 seconds and disconnect itself.
I have Uconnect also but no issues. Did you clear your old N1 from Uconnect? Not that that should matter but don't know what else to offer...

I have a Lubix NC1. Pairs with TBolt and works fine, but when the display shuts off, so does the Bluetooth. Phone connection stays and I can manually restart the Bluetooth, then same thing happens. Any ideas? Thanks.
Yea, I deleted the N1 from there. Might be something going on with the ROM, as that is the only option I have left that I can guess at?

Wifi and sound problem

Hello,
I have two big problems with my hp touched running with alpha 3.
1. If I hear music and the touchpad going into the sleep modus, and than I can hear only random noises and not the music.
2. I try to get a Wifi connection tethering from my Motorola ATRIX but he scan but not connected.
If I connect my touchpad with my parents Wifi, than I don't have problems.
What can I do to fix these two problems?

The screen off static is a known bug
And the spotty wifi is also a know bug
There are a few temp fixes posted in the cm7 thread and in the general . Q/A section
No need to post a thread if its known issues
Search first
I suggest you reread the thread and uninstall cm7 until its more stable

Bluetooth streaming on ICS roms

Alright folks, i know a lot of us love streaming our podcasts, pandora, and plain old mp3's from our phone while driving to work. Problem is, ICS roms have difficulty connecting to bluetooth devices.
Common issues are: Phone gets connected but no media, media conn but no phone, no phone or media, media is connected but sound coming from phone speaker.
The point of this thread is to get ideas, tips/tricks, and maybe even system files that can resolve this issue. I'll keep the OP updated with anything added in this thread or I find elsewhere. So I'll start off on what has worked for me for 2 days so far.
Tips/Tricks

Turn on bluetooth and pair your device. Try to get to the point where both "Phone & Media" are check marked on your phone, but neither phone nor media are displayed on you BT device. Once achieved reboot your phone. Make sure "Fastboot" is unchecked in your power settings prior to rebooting.
Been going two days w/o having to redo this process
Spoke too soon. Connected only to phone next time I got in my car. Fix was simple though, just uncheck media on phone, then check it again and it connected correctly

I seem to be ok as long as I don't turn off my BT device (headset). If I turn off BT on the phone when not using the headset, it will pair when turned back on. Otherwise, when I have to charge my BT, I reboot my phone and it will pair again after charging.

[Q] Wifi and Bluetooth issues

Hi guys,
So I just picked up my Galaxy S3 on an Optus contract. I noticed if I am in a call with my Bluetooth headset while my wifi is on and my wifi will constantly disconnect. It wont disconnect if I am not in a call but as soon as i go into a call with the Bluetooth my wifi goes crazy.
Does anyone else have these issues?
Edit: I am on the latest software update and I have tried turning off the power saving mode and resetting the phone. None of which has worked.
Does anyone have any advice?

I had similar Wi-Fi issue with my brand new galaxy s3. A factory reset fixed it.

This has not fixed it for me. I have even flashed custom roms and still having the same issue. I am not back on my stock rom and thinking about returning for warranty.
Yeah I have the same issue, bluetooth can be on and not connected with no problem, but once connected to something the the wifi will drop randomly.
There seems to be no pattern sometimes it will drop in a few seconds to 30mins very random.
Old topic, but I've found that if Bluetooth is working hard then the wi-fi throughput drops to almost nothing and also keeps droppping the connection.
I found this when streaming with Apt-X from online services such as Spotify, Rdio and Napster (I've tried them all). I've also streamed from my NAS over wi-fi.
To confirm this I've run the SpeedTest app when streaming Apt-X and when not. With no streaming I get excellent speeds, when streaming (from an mp3 stored on the phone) the test either fails due to a failed connection or it hobbles along and gives very poor results.
I suspect the same aerial is being used for both wi-fi and Bluetooth.
I'm using 2.4GHz wi-fi; it's possible that 5GHz wi-fi may not have this issue.
