Starting a month ago, my S3 is having great problems connectingrto access points. 8 times out of 10 it says "Authentication problems" and a flashnotice says "wrong password" even though the network is open. This seems to happenon both stock LC rRoms and cm10. It alsosseems thatiit's just ap's running on 2,4Ghz giving this problems. 5Ghz is just fine. AFAIK radio-firmware doesn't contain code forddealing with wifi, only gsm/3g/4G stuff.
Is hardware issues with my phone the last resort or am Immissing somethin ?
Other devices including android phones doesn't have issues withthese AP's and iI'm havingthese pproblems onall 22,4Ghz ap's
I have the same problem with my S3.
Oh goodie i thought i was going bat **** crazy or too needy, i have had the same issues on cm10 ( updated every time one gets pushed to me ) and stock rom. i'm in the same room as the router and always get 2-3 bars, my old white SGS3 had no such issues. ( Btw im using a from factory unlocked blue ) At times H+ Mobile data is faster :0/

Do not go looking for software problems, is hardware. I had the same problems, the only solution is to change the motherboard. Use the warranty. Sorry for the bad English.

Im very sorry for that grammar, Swiftkey seems to bailout on this site.
Thought so... I swapped kernels and roms like i just don't care and the issue is still present.
ill stockify it tomorrow and send it in then.

Hey guys, I'm new here so let me know if Im messing up any board rules or customs!
I did a quick search but didn't hit on any exact results... I connect to my home or work WiFi without any drops (which is a whole other situation) but once I leave the range of the WiFi network my EVO doesn't realize and stays connected which means I won't get emails because there is no active connection... So far my only fix has been to turn my WiFi on and off again.. is anybody else seeing this?
It's not the end of the world just a minor nuisance! Im set to auto frequency, best performance and always keep WiFi on during sleep. I feel like that last one might be the issue but I don't want to go to 3G on standby!
Thanks

I have read about some other people having the same issue here. Wifi as a whole is very glitchy on this device right now and hopefully fixes will be part og hts's fist update.
I am experiencing the same issue. Would love to know how to resolve it.
Sent from my EVO using XDA
I'm also experiencing this. It is slightly annoying, but not a deal breaker. I'm sure it'll be fixed soon enough.
Mine does this as well, but goes a step further. Once I leave the Wifi area I can toggle Wifi off to drop the connection and use 3G. However, when I go back to a wifi area, any network ive previously connected to states not in range. I can pick up new networks, but not existing networks. The only solution is to reboot the device.
Is something the HTC set for battery saving, what happens when you connected to wifi with any device is that it check every 60-90-180seconds (wherever the programmer set) so your phone won't check right away, but when it does it will disconnect, every phone has it but probably HTC put up a high number that way it saves more battery
Sent from my EVO using Tapatalk 2
This is starting to get quite frustrating. If I leave the house and need to use navigation or anything requiring data I have to toggle wifi off. Has anyone figured this out or is it potentially a hardware issue where I should seek a replacement?
I made a thread about returning my EVO for another one. I had the same issue. The second EVO is working perfect so far. Way better battery life with this one too.

I spoke with HTC yesterday and they were not aware of a widespread issue with this. When I get more time I will dig into it a bit more as I believe it can probably be fixed with mods to wpa_supplicant. In the meantime, I will be sending some logs to HTC as well.

It's definitely software-based, as it didn't happen with MaXimus 2.1 or CM10, but DOES happen with MaXimus 2.2 and the stock ROM. Oddly, it never happened with the stock ROM before now.
Does it happen to you on more than one WiFi network?

Couldn't find topic with this, so if one exists, sorry and let me know.
So far, unlike sgs2 and regardless of reception and network speed, I am unable to play flash from the browser properly. Video freezes 2 seconds into play while audio keeps playing normally. Netflix app shows the same problem. You tube app does not.
Stream everything fine on wifi. Different roms or modems do not help. Pausing for a while does not help as well cause it does not buffer whole video.
Any confirmation from others, or a clue how to fix this?

Could you please check in your contract if such things like streaming are allowed?
My provider forbids streaming and keeps pushing APN-settings with a trafficshaping (and completely overloaded and unreliable) proxy when hitting a 3GB/month usage
With Fido and 6gb package, streaming and tethering certainly is. And historically on original Internet apn its straight through data pipe, although past few years they started blocking voip and vpn ports.

So you steam on wifi (which is no problem for anyone) , or on 3g?
Only workaround i was able to find is restart the phone before streaming.
I don't know if it's memory management, asu level or whatever, I don't care, just annoys the crap out of me.
What's funny is that north American model does not have this issue, but has extremely crappy bluetooth. Keeps disconnecting on its own.

Than i found some things amazing and some things sorely lacking on it. So basically it came to this... If theres gonna be fixes... It will be coming first here on i9300...While I would be lucky to have one or max 2 updates on Rogers version.
Have high hopes in jelly bean as well (which will definitely come sooner on this phone than nam version) , not some fantasy, just real observation while flashing my brother in laws galaxy nexus, noticing it uses approximately 100mb of ram less to run, than the ics release on the same phone. The might give is just enough headroom to improve multitasking and not feel lack of ram as much.
Im testing some more things before losing hope of fixing this myself.

It's a stock bug, once the devs get a good foothold in the ICS foundation, it's gonna be fixed, just a little patience for now, k?

Yeah but you see the difference is, most of the roms are stock based, therefore the bug is still there, nightmare and fastamaze on the other hand had to be built from the ground up when it came to hardware things like wifi, so until the guys have some source to work with or have the time to make their fixes from those roms workable on stock, it's gonna be a little glitchy.
i wonder why the phone can see all my neighbors wifi except mine it takes like 5minutes!?

I just flashed CM10 onto my Transformer Prime & I'm experiencing the same issue that you describe; the device can see each & every WiFi network in the neighborhood except mine. Please forgive my ignorance but I am not familiar with your device; is it running Jellybean? Your post came up in a Google search that I did re my problem & your post is the closest to describing my problem. Sorry if I am barking up the wrong tree but I've been pulling my hair out trying to sort this one out so any clue would be a massive help to me at this stage.
So last night I updated my s3 to the latest UK firmware, XXBLG8, And I can't tell if my problems stem from the latest update!
After the update many apps wouldn't open and I'd have to do a battery pull to sort out each individual app that refused to load, everything's fine now, however, my data connectivity seems to have worsened considerably, even with full signal strength and HSPDA nothing will load, the browser shows errors that I'm not connected to the internet and apps such as the Play Store and Speedtest won't connect.
Anyone else experiencing this problem? Would I be able to flash back to an earlier firmware using ODIN? (I'm new to the s3 scene, just jumped ship from a Desire HD and haven't yet fully got my bearings.)
Thanks guys!

looks like speedtest.net have changed there site slightly if you goto site with mobile agent set on browser it redirects to the play store to the speedtest app, change browser to desktop as long as you have flash installed all is fine.

So I decided to bust out my Desire HD, I remembered I still have a month left on my old contract before it gets terminated, checked the data connectivity on there and I seem to be having the same issues. Looks like it's a problem with 3 in general rather than it being my s3. Which is good news for my s3!
Must have been pure coincidence that I started having these issues right after upgrading, however, I tried a few new modems and have been getting better signal (no change with the data issues) so at least I've taken something away from the experience
Isn't there an issue with 3 UK branded ROMs experiencing network issues when you flash the unbranded ROM? I think you may need to flash a separate modem, Google it, I may be wrong.

It seems to be working pretty well this morning on both my s3 and DHD, and Frostfree I'll have to check that out, I've already flashed a few new modems and I'm getting better performance so that might very well be the case!
I'm in Folkestone (south east coast)
I am on BLG6 with Cyanogen Mod 10 latest rom and so far I have great speeds (4-5Mb) on speed test app.
Will try flashing BLG8 when i can find a download link. I just want the modem to flash not a whole rom cos i am loving JB on the SGS3.
When I got the Mediapad X1 (503L) a couple months back it came with 4.2.2. and the wifi and cell signal were pretty weak and inconsistent. They were workable however...
I upgraded to 4.4.2 (B007) and it seemed to be a little better for a month or so, however lately in the last week or so it had seemed to take a downward spiral. The Wifi is connected but no data gets transferred at all. I have to put it in airplane mode to get the wifi to "reset"
Any one else notice this? This phone is great, but the wifi and 3G/4G stuff just seems to stall and hang way too much.
I'm located in the US on AT&T.
In my experience B006 was best for gsm signal. At the price of no 5GHz wifi.
2.4GHz works fine in both versions for me. But then I am in Europe................ .........

I can understand issues with 3G and 4G in USA as the phone is made and tested in China with different frequency needs,
But Wifi is the same everywhere isn't it?
No it isn't.
Until a few years ago you had to select USA, europe, or Japan when setting up a wifi network. This process is automated now based on network parameters "spied" by the modem.
Huawei implements this poorly or not at all on their chinese market devices, including the international 501L not intended for the US market.
The good news is: it isn't like it won't work at all. Sometimes it just helps changing the channel. The wifi analyzer app is a great tool...... .. .. ... ....
Otherwise one would have to extract the modem apk of a dedicated us provider from the rom.
Great information!
I'm using a 503L, Wifi in the US is very hit or miss. (Which makes sense now reading your post)
How do I get the phone to use a certain channel? That's up to the Wifi access point isn't it?

I used the app wifi analyzer to see which channel is the best.
And yes, then you change it in the router.
Phone is really getting bad now with signal, several times a day now The Wifi is connected but won't actually transfer any data, the same with 3G/4G. Sometimes even putting it into airplane mode doesn't fix it and I have to do a full reboot.
The other big problem is app being shut off automatically in the background. I use Google Hangouts and Line to chat with people and after a while those processes get closed and won't give me notifications until I manually open the app which seems to restart it.
I really hope there is a fix in the works (I'm on the B010 update)
The 4.2.2 seemed to be more reliable for signal issues and never closed apps in the background, however the performance of 4.2.2 was terrible...
Just a warning for any folks in the USA that are considering this phone.

I don't know what to tell you about your comm issues. Wifi AND phone does not point to an antenna issue. Maybe a factory reset or loading the firmware once more?

I'm hoping we see another update from Huawei so I can start from scratch with the version instead of wiping what I already have.
Yeah, waiting is notva bad choice.
I am doing the same, waiting for a standalone B008 for my 503L. If that is no good I'll go back to B006.

The 503L is up to B010, not sure they will do a B008?
Forgot to mention that as long as 4.4.2 forces the dpi to 400, I ain't changing.

Yeah, that really needs to be fixed too. I am sort of getting used to the larger DPI, but the issue is app compatibility, so many apps won't install from the Google Play store with the 400DPI
Has anyone tried that Custom Recovery for the 503L? I sure which I could take a backup of the whole rom, i'd Probably got back to 4.2.2 as everything seemed to work better just performance was laggy.

I saw that thread, but after reading, it seemed like it only worked on the 501.
You could give it a shot. At worst you reflash your stock recovery. Use Flashify, incredibly easy.
