Can service mode wifi be always off? - Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Hi,
My wifi always disconnects unless I set wifi OFF in service mode (0011)
Problem is, that doesn't stick, so anytime I reboot, I've to do it again.
Is there a way to automate this process? Or better yet, is there something we can flash to have it always off?
Thanks a lot!

WiFi issue on my Hero...

Hello everybody!
Someone of you has noticed a poor WiFi reception on Hero?
I'm experiencing a poor WiFi reception in my house when Hero is connect to internet thru an access point.
What happen is that after WiFi connection has been established the phone tends to loose it and restart connection thru GSM/3G link.
That happen also if phone stay in the same place without moving around and also when phone is close to access point location.
Any idea about way to solve the problem?
Regards.

Just an upgrade on issue...
If I turn off data connection thru GSM/3G and switch on WiFi seem that WiFi connection is stable so maybe issue come when both data connection are enabled...
Anyway is annoying shout down each time data connection on GSM/3D and power on WiFi!
Regards.
i believe wifi goes idle when not in use. so it connect to 3g or edge. However there is an app if not various in the market already to help keep wifi always on..
Do a search for wifi and see for yourself.

Thanks for suggestion!
At now I've solved turning off GSM/3G data connection when I'm at home anyway I guess that WiFi reception sometimes go away due to issue of the phone or maybe as way to save battery...
when that happen phone stay unconnected so I guess that should be better if I will check for apps that keep WiFi connection always working!

when the device goes into standby, the wifi is turned off to save battery poweer, and it will go back to 3G.
go into the wifi settings, press menu and select advanced.
select the timeout options
set to never and it will not turn off when in standby.
problem solved and you shouldn't have to turn off Mobile data, although with the settings widget on your homescreen turning mobile data off off each time is hardly going to ruin your life. in fact i tend to do this anyway, just cos i have spent too many years with windows mobile....
Here's an annoying bug I've found tho - on TMob UK
If I send an MMS from home, wifi on, it sits there, and doesn't send the message. Until I turn off wifi and 3G kicks in again.
Now I know for a fact that on my Magic, it was able to turn on 3g/HSPDA to send the message all by itself. Might have a look in thodse advanced settings tho to see if there is something I can do.. Not a biggie, just a bit of an annoyance.

I too, have been doing a search on Forums all over Google looking for a resolution to this.
I have noticed if Wi-Fi is enabled I am unable to send or receive MMS messages.
It is an annoyance having to turn Wi-Fi off each time also I am never to know if someone has tried to send a message in the first place.
Currently using T-Mobile G2 (rooted with MCR Rom 2.8) on T-Mobile UK

[Q] How to use mobile data even though wifi is not turned off?

Hi everyone,
My phone's wifi module (also bluetooth) was broken and cannot be used.
It can be turned on, but does not work. and cannot be turned off then.
It reports "error" status.
Unless I restore factory setting or new flash it, no other way to fix this.
Thus, I cannot use mobile data (3g, Edge, HSDPA etc) as internet connection,
because the system would use wifi instead of mobile service if wifi is not off.
Do you know my problem from my discription?
It's some complex...
What I want is any solution from the following two:
1) How to turn off wifi? The module is broken, it reports error when I turn off it from the settings menu.
2) How to enable mobile data thouth wifi is not off?
I guess some operation from the console (command line) is needed to do this.
If I get any one solution above, I can solve my problem.
Thank you very much for reading my post.
Wish you good luck.

even if the wifi is still on you should still be able to use mobile data since the wifi cannot connect to any wifi points.
how did you break it? maybe that is messing up the mobile data part aswel stopping it from connecting

Now I only have to never enable wifi at any time.

Any way to turn off screen WITHOUT lose Wifi or 3G-USB connectivity ?

Hi my friends,
Im using a dropad a8x as my Cardroid, and i want to access it by wifi or 3G while the car is parked.
The problem is, if the screen goes off i lose all my connectivity, this includes both 3G and Wifi.
Is there a way to shutdown the screen but NOT lose the connections ?
Thanks for the help.
I didn't want to leave with replying,
Go to wifi/setting policy and change it to never. (Go to wifi settings and press menu and you will get the options)
Sorry, I can't be more clearly than this, no time for explaining.
eventual you have to activate "best wlan performance" (anything like this) in the same menu.
Well, thats already set
But when i push the button to turn off the screen it loose both 3G and Wifi connection.
