lumia 800, 8773.12220 oficial firmware. at home, I connect to internet through my 4GB contract from my mobile supplier. when I turn the internet sharing on, I can connect to internet from my win7 64 bit OS computer via this AP.
I couldnt especially find out when this happens, but the wireless icon in my wireless icon in my notifications (windows task bar) area gets a exclamation mark on it from time to time and after this, my computer cannot go through my mobile to internet. (which is normal from Win7 point of view)
if I turn the internet sharing off and on, I can reconnect to internet until this happens again.
instead, I tried (settings/mobile network) switching to edge and back to 3G, didnt help.
turned the (settings/mobile network) data connection off and on, didnt help.
Is this a know bug, and is there a fix about this?
thanks for replies in advance.
This is a 'feature' of Internet Sharing. It automatically turns off if it is idle for a few minutes (I think it is about 5 minutes). I don't know of any way to change this.

I know that feature. but the problem I tried to explain is not about "auto turn-off if idle for 5 min" issue. this happens while I am connected to the AP and using internet on my computer.
thanks for the reply though.

you had the very similar problem earlier?
Exactly same problem, it was very frustrating. Now it works constantly, but that reflects on battery life
With the keep alive app I solved this issue

High power consumption is not a problem since I am using the internet sharing at home, so it will be connected to wall charger. thanks for the solution.
it had same problem with my lumia 710..
try resetting ur device..
it would solve the issue temporarily..
if u are in warranty period please take ur phone to a nokia care..
this is a bug in the software..they would replace the phone for u or get it right

resetting the device works for me as well, at least for a while. device is under warranty, but if its a SW problem as you said, there is no point leaving the device to nokia care for weeks for them to finalise and close the claim. I can wait for the next SW update. on the other hand, even if they give me another device, it will cause me the same problem anyway with the same SW.

does this program increase the amount of data transmitted?
No, it depends on device connected. Of course normal desktop PC would spend more data than other phone
nope... wont help for good. but it helps a little bit, it takes longer to stop sharing with this application. any other suggestions?

I have a very apparent problem on my phone similar to the Iphone 4 problem but only with Wi-Fi. It's very minor compared to Iphone 4's recent problem (which was fix not too long ago..). While holding the phone in landscape mode and having your left (or right) hand on top the phone reduces the frequency of Wi-Fi and utterly disconnects. I have this problem in my room because my router is 3 floors down, it isn't the greatest reception but it works. So in summary when Wi-Fi is 1-2 bars, holding you hand atop the phone disconnects or lowers your Wi-Fi reception. This is a piss off... Either someone can fix this, or we need to complain to Sony ****ersson about this problem.
or move your router one floor up...
No, thats not something im going to do, the iPhone got a fix, why cant we?

@zephyrix i agree with you or better buy wifi antenna booster..... solve the problem...
That's not a problem, its simply because you are far away from the router, when it happens to you when you are at closed range, come and talk about it.
and cleary you don't know the real issue the iphone had...

I Think I have a WiFi problem as mine fails to turn on constantly. It will only start after I freshly boot it, then it turns off after about 15 minutes and is unable to start again until I power off, and back on.
If I go to the settings menu, wireless controls and tap to turn on WiFi it shows "Turning on..." for roughly 15-20 seconds then says "Unable to start WiFi"
This happened before and after I rooted with R2BA023 Firmware.
Anyone else encounter anything similar?

Hi Reeonimus - I just finished rooting my x10a from Rogers and I can't connect to my wifi at work, it was working before, so now I have to figure this one out.
I will see if I have the same problem at home tonight, will keep you posted
If you were having problems before, maybe your wifi in the phone is the problem
did you connect to wifi when you first received it? before doing anything to it
There is wifi patch for people who rooted the phone. Go back to the same rooting thread and look at the 4th post.

well I tried it last night and it connected perfectly at home.
I'm going to have to figure this one out
home is using WEP-Personal and so is my office.
but at the office it gives me a "Obtaining address" but just stops there.
I have full signal strength, but unsuccessful
It was connecting before the root
Patch file : I just installed it and it didn't fix anything, if anything it actually made it worse I think
What does that WiFi patch do?
And has anyone gotten WPA2 enterprise, or PEAP working? I'll need that for uni...

I barely used the phone before I rooted so I don't know if the problem was there before. The bluetooth also had problems turning on.
However I reset the phone to factory settings and returned it for a new one. Then I realized that resetting it only reset the apps and everything, it was still on the R2BA023 firmware. They took it back and gave me a new one because they didn't notice though.
Rooted the new one and have had no problems since.

Hi guys, I'm an AT&T user on 1.6. I am looking for the wi-fi patch, as my wi-fi drops off with my cellular reception. Will this patch fix this problem? If you can point me to the rght direction, I would appreciate it. Trying to search but it appears search is down for the moment. Thanks
Screw it. I'm ready to jump to 2.1, since AT&T doesn't look like they are going to be rolling this out. Does 2.1 still have this wi-fi issue?
coughee, they have a stock 2.1 out now, just use the search to root it. have you checked for seus updates?? lately?
Hi guys,
I have a SGS2, and it's wonderful, but I am noticing a very annoying issue.
I will be browsing a site, for example, and then go through a bad reception area, so I lose internet. However, a lot of the time, it never reconnects. I might have the H, and 4 bars... but only the up (green) arrow flashes... and I get 'This page cannot be displayed'. No mail.. nothing. Internet connectivity is gone .. even though I am sure I am in a good reception area.
What I have to do is go into Aeroplane Mode, and then out of Auroplane Mode, which seems to force a reconnect... and then all is fine. It seems when I lose reception ... it doesn't try to reconnect.
I am running 2.3.2. Maybe it's an app? I use 3D watchdog... and a few other apps... but it's really annoying. I hope it's a known issue, that might get resolved.
Today I noticed I had no mail for a few hours... Went into Aeroplane Mode, and out, and then they all flooded in...
Search is a beautiful feature. You should try it, the answer is there
Give us a hint. As a non technical guy, what am I looking for?
Never had this problem on my Galaxy even with 1 bar signals, but I know what you're talking about tho, had the problem on iPhone 4 until apple released an update which fixes the modem.

Had this problem as well.There is a thread here or in development section about disabling fast dormancy (tried it but didnt solve my problem).Also there is a thread here talking about bad reception (search it you ll recognize it) and few guys added few lines in the build.prop file but I didnt test it.I solve it with factory reset.The problem you have is that the phone when is not using data connection goes from H to 3G to save battery but some times when is trying to go from 3G to H to use data(eg you open your browser) that action failed.Thats why you have disconnections and you need to reset the connection.
ps after I did factory reset I faced this problem one more time and after that till now I had zero disconnections (10 days now tested)
ps2 check from settings>about phone>battery usage the cell standby persent.If you click on it you ll see a "time with out signal" and a persentage.This in my case is still high (100%!!!!!) but I think this is a bug.
Hope to help

I am so glad you asked. I have had the same problem and even though I have searched and read the fast dormancy thread, It didn't sound like the same symptoms I was having. You hit the nail on the head with your description. I guess I will see if disabling it fixes my problem.
However, I thought AT&T had fast dormancy enabled because the Iphone has it....?

When I enter the code *#*#9900#*#* to disable fast dormancy it takes me to the menu for it no problem. Then when I press the button for disable fast dormancy it turns blue so I know that I've pressed it but nothing else happens. Is this normal or am I doing something wrong? Do you need to be rooted?

I am on AT&T too in NYC. And have this exact problem, and disabling fast dormancy does not help.
Agree with you on your second point too.
I'm now around 15 hours into the 'fast thing' being disabled... and so far, so good. If it works for the rest of the day, I can declare that my phone is fixed , but it's quite sad that it's not working for the other chaps...
I noticed I had to reboot... Maybe you haven't rebooted?
Also, someone mentioned on another thread that when they rebooted, the setting went back to Enabled. Carrier stuff forcing it to enabled maybe?

I rebooted multiple times, and even pulled the battery out a few times. I also tried a different SIM card. I even put the phone inside a pentagram and read some passages from some books. Nothing is helping. My provider AT&T is not forcing fast dormancy, the settings stick. But the problem does not go away.
Is this issue affecting a large group, or is it an isolated problem?

I'm on AT&T in ATL. I haven't been out and about yet to see if it has worked (never had a problem at the house). Even if it doesn't, maybe the KF1 2.3.4 firmware will fix it when it comes out.
Hi,
I have bought Galaxy S2 just two months back. My wifi was working fine until one day it stopped working. When I switch on my wifi, it just scan for the network and then gets off. My other devices are working fine with the router. The same problem exists even after doing a factory setting for the phone and reseting the wifi router at my home.
There are few things worth noticing about the problem:
1) My PC is detecting so many wireless networks around here but my phone wifi detects none because it seems to me that the wifi is not even getting started in my phone ... no wifi notification symbol.
2) On starting other wifi related setting like "wifi direct", my phone hangs and it shows a dialogue to force close it.
Please suggest some solution for the problem.
Thanks.
anyone here to rescue me from this problem ?????

I recommend to flash the latest stock ROM for your region.
You can find many official firmwares in Intratech's thread => http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1075278.
Please read the first post carefully.
After flashing the ROM, you should do a hard rest (by dialing *2767*3855# in your phone).
Hope this will help!

Seems to be a hardware issue. Phone was working fine until yesterday. Going to the service center today. Will get back to you guys. Mine runs 2.3.6 (INU).
Does your phone lights go out when you switch off your phone? If so it is a hardware issue. I had the same problem and had to replace the mainboard. If you reset phone you will see "error" under "Turn on Wifi" option.

Can you please elaborate what you mean about the lights switching off?
I am using Galaxy i9100
android version: 2.3.4
baseband version: I9100XXKG5
When i switch off my phone, it shows the animation, then the screen turns off. but all this while the capacitive buttons (the back key and the menu key) remain lit up and continues to be lit up for 2-3 seconds after the animation is over and then turns off. So do you think my mainboard is gone? I'v had my SGSII since last summer and had wifi problem since 2 days now.
Went to the service center ... Its apparently a mother board problem and they are charging me 9,000 INR to replace it.. Heck, i would buy a new phone with that amount.. Bye bye samsung

Hey guys!
I'm not sure if this is my router problem, or my phone, but most likely my phone.
The wi-fi keeps continue to connect, and disconnect.
Here is the thing. When I bought the phone brand new, my phone behaved normal regarding the wifi, but when I flashed to a XXLF2, and using Checkrom with Siyah kernel, the wifi kept continue connect/disconnect all the time, so I gave another shot just reflashed everything to stock of XXLF2, still same problem.
Now, yesterday, I was flashing a new rom XXLF6, and then Omega rom, the wifi problem was still the same, so I gave it another try and just flashing the stock XXLF6, but the problem didn't either went away. I tried Ninphetamine kernel didn't help much either.
Anyone know what's going on??? You think it's hardware issue here, or something with the rom?
Hope someone could please help me out!
Thanks a lot!
Hi,
I not have the exact answer to you, but I think it is a hardware issue!! I have 2 router in my house (with the same ssid) with my SGS2 there is never problems when I cross the zones, it connects straight away to the other router. BUT with SGS3 it is a pain in the a..... I often need to turn on and off wi-fi several times before it can connect!!!! I think the 2 identical router confuse the SGS3....but not the SGS2 or my Tab. If there is only 1 router it connects straight away......
Yeah! That is actually what I was thinking too. It might be the hardware fault! I'm going to contact Samsung tomorrow, and see what's going on!
I have the exact same prob really annoying,but wifi driver is in kernel.I sometimes get "error bad connection " message.
Doesn't matter what kernel I use though.

Seems I have to go back to *#0011# all the time to set it back to OFF (comes back on very often it seems...)

Yep, I can confirm that the option doesn't stay selected.

Do you guys Have ram booster or any other app the like? Ram optimización turns wifi off...
No, but I do hit Clean Memory in the task manager quite often (because presto library is a piece of junk!) maybe that turns it off. I'll test tonight...
I'm also having the same issue, disconnecting, but appears connected in the Wifi settings. I have to go in and turn of power saving mode, but it comes back on after reboot.

I had this wifi disconnect reconnect issue at work, but never happens at home. I initially thought it was some app I installed, I removed them and still happens at work, but not at home. All the phone settings mentioned here didn't make a difference.
I don't change anything on my phone, so I chuck it to incompatibility, and not an issue with my phone or it's settings.
Home Netgear WNDR3300 pretty much default settings.
The new firmware update XXLFB seems to update radio firmware and kernel. Maybe that will fix the problem.
Has anyone tried this?
Flash the rom and see if it helps.

What radio/modem version did you end up with, my UBLF2 (TTT) stayed the same after the update applied.
I had issues at work. But not at home.
Today I told it to forget my B/G radio and to connect to the N radio. No disconnects, none..
No changes made to the phone at all..
2 phones - only 1 with wifi issues
Hi, noob here. I have been following this issue on androidforums.com (same user name) but since the "fix" came from this site I thought I'd share my relevant info here as well.
My husband and I received 2 Verizon SIII's (32GB) this weekend. Mine works great. His, however, has the wifi disconnect issue. The *#0011# is only a temporary fix for him.
So, for what it's worth, it's not likely to be a router problem, since 1 phone has no wifi issues and the other does.
We talked to Verizon at lunch today and they were interested in the problem and will be calling us at home this evening, with a Samsung rep. I'll post more once we've heard from them. For now though, Samsung does not have it listed as a "known" issue since there haven't been enough reports on this bug.
Alright, let's see if anyone can make heads or tails of my problem.
I bought a Samsung Galaxy S3 about 3 months ago. From the moment I first booted it, I've had issues with wifi. Ever since, I've searched the internet high and low for solutions to no avail and have finally resorted to making my own thread.
So, on stock rom (and with Wifi power save mode OFF), it detects networks just fine, but cannot connect to them. I disabled the password and any security barrier on my home router, and now it connects sometimes. But even when it does, it will only last about 10 to 15 seconds and then disconnect and won't reconnect anymore.
But then I installed cyanogenmod, which changed things up a bit. It will not detect a network unless I'm 2-3 meters in range of the access point, but it will connect and maintain the connection as long as I'm within 1 meter range. For some reason, I can't access Service Mode in CM in order to turn off WiFi power save mode.
Now I'm unsure what to do next. I wish my phone worked right. It's not much to ask I think. I can't send it back to warranty, because Triangle Away can't download the needed files, not even through mobile data (which works as intended I think but is very slow and very weak).
So what do you think, is it a hardware issue? Could I get a private store to fix it?
Any help is appreciated, thanks-
You have a hardware issue, try replacing the aerial module first then motherboard or a new phone.

So there's no chance to make use of the warranty? How much would a repair cost, more or less
