Hello there.
I bought Samsung Galaxy SIII about two months ago, it was working great untill I updated it OTA. I had Android 4.04 before the update, when I updated it, it was still 4.04 but since then, my WiFi's not working. I mean, it works when I'm in the room where the router is, but when I leave the room, I don't have internet access. I updated to Jelly Bean OTA, still nothing. The problem is still there. Any suggestions? If you need more info about my phone, feel free to ask. Thank you in advance.
Anyone? Please help, without Wi-Fi my phone is useless for me.
Do a factory reset!

Are you sure? Because I don't want to lose all my data. And I already tried it when I had Android 4.04 and it didn't fix it, but I did not try it on Jelly Bean.
Make a backup and then do a full reset . After that flash stock ics

Thank you, I'll try it and then comment here if it works or not.
Still nothing, any other ideas?
I doubt it has got something to do with the update. (I'm not saying it's impossible - It's just highly unlikely)
Maybe you typed the password wrong, or the security type is wrong.
Try deleting the network, from your device, and then checking out the different settings, like WEP, WPA, WPA2-Personal (PSK) and then checking if your password was/is incorrect

My password is not incorrect because I can connect when I'm in the room where the router is, but as soon as I leave, like 10 metres away from router, it disconnects and I get that " Obtaining IP address" error.

Before someone flames me asking a question that may have already been answered, but Tapatalk doesn't exactly have the best search feature lol
Anyway, I was wondering if anyone else was experiencing issues with their pattern security feature? Mine seems to be accepting any gesture I use to unlock itself, which defeats the purpose of having one.
I'm using a rooted stock KH3 with the speedmod kernel if that helps.
Thanks in advance for your replies.

Just clear it and set a new one. It's what happens when you flash a new kernel.
Nevermind. Worked it out. Seems that when you setup your phone again and allow Google to restore your settings, it restores the feature but not to the pattern you drew, just a default =l

throw the phone hard against the wall and it will activate a fail safe motion detecting feature which will unlock the phone when you pick it up.

After upgrading to Android 4.1.1 my Galaxy s3 now reboots randomly all the time. It never happened once before the update.
Any ideas what could be causing this? It never happens during any specific action so I can't really tell what it is.

According to samsung its happening due to some software bug which causes the flash memory to stop responding and making the device reboots! they will soon provide an update which will fix this bug! hopefully it will be the 4.1.2 update!

It's always better to do a factory reset after a major update. Back up your phone through Samsung Kies and factory reset it.

It's all good. I have CyanogenMod now. I haven't tried a custom ROM until now.
I must say, I'm quite glad I made the switch. It's so much better than Samsung's ROM! Everything is smooth and runs cleaner and faster with no bloatware running in the background or taking up memory.

Hi djembey, and do you think that it might be the cause even if I have the ROM with Samsung patch installed? For SGS3 it is XXELLA. It started to freeze/stuck last Saturday, sometimes it restarts without my intervention, sometimes i had to do it myself.
Thanks

Hi leinad, I lagfixed the partitions, restarted, did a call and the phone stuck again - it did not even turned on the screen. Works again after restart (loooong press of Power button). I think I'll have to send it to repair center.

Yes, it says insane chip. Memory check passed without errors. I have the ROM that should have applied the Samsung patch for this chip, but I think it fixes only the hard dead. It stucks with both, rooted and unrooted ROMs, I did many Odin reinstalls during last few days. I tried even a very old 4.0.4 and it also did not work correctly. I think it froze even with pure install after factory reset, I have to back it up and try once again.
You're both very unlucky. Insane chip mean SDS sooner or later. I'll use warranty to get replacement. Samsung reckons that in new Kernel is fix for it but people still reporting dead S3's.

Hi djembey,
I fixed it for now by factory reset and Titanium restore, but I think it will be better to send it to service.

try full wiping your phone and install a new rom exclude XXELLA build because it's one the versions that cause hanging

Hi Guys! I am using Samsung Galaxy S2 I9100G INDIA model. After more than one year of use suddenly it started working weird.
1. Full 100% charging getting discharged to 0% in 2-3 hrs(99% phone is put on standby mode - not using for anything)
2. When I enable WiFi it is not able to scan. I repeatedly clicked on scan but it is not showing any progress of scanning and not listing my home WiFi network
I have tried:
1. Battery recalibration - no use
2. Factory reset - no use
3. Hard reset - no use
Can somebody help me with this? Is there a way to check that WiFi chip failed or not Or it's an issue with firmware(4.1.2)?

How can we change baseband? You mean by flashing a custom ROM? Please guide me....
I went to service center to know about the issue. He was just re-installed stock ROM by rooting the device even not hearing to my problem. When I say WIFI scanning is not working he turned on WiFi and was saying it's working. But I told him to let the phone scan for any WiFi hotspots close by(My friend phone SIII able to list all available hotspots). He then pressed scan and was saying motherboard was gone. Is that true? How can he say blindly even not checking until I tell him to check the WiFi.
If I need to change the motherboard how much does it costs in INDIA? and does it carries any warranty?

firstly, you should be rooted to change the baseband.
If you are rooted that find any compatible baseband of your rom version and flash the zip file through recovery.
As far as the motherboard is concerned, it is costly affair. Before coming to the conclusion of motherboard being damaged, lets first try all possible options. I don't see the motherboard issue here.
PM me your rom details and i will find a baseband for you.

Check your local area market for a used motherboard as going for a new one will cost you heavy.
I dont thing it will carry warrenty unless you send it to samsung for repair

My advise wud be to see some local repair shop as it might be a loose connection and would not need the replacement. No harm in getting it checked as he will not ask more than 200-300 rs. If still u find it did not work go for motherboard replacement from samsung.
Btw how much did they asked you for motherboard

Can you give me some more info and I'll try and help.
are you rooted?
unlocked bootloader?
Is there an option to select wifi on and off in settings?
does it display the available wifi access points?
can you take some screenshots to help us see what you see...
Did you drop it? unlikely but the signal amplification module could be damaged. (very unlikely)
That should give us something to work with
I guess its working again... glad I could be of assistance...
