I am facing a problem in wifi c currently. If my phone has been up for more than 25 hrs then the wifi does not start up I need to restart the phone and in that process my battery drains by 10-20%
Also when the wifi is on the phone gets heated a lot in the top area at the back.
Kindly help.
I am currently on stock 4.0.3 xwlp7.

sorry if its a repost!
Well to give a brief history, i was on trigger with overstock with no problems.
then my battery started to drain a lot more than usual so decided to get rid some of the apps that might have been sucking the juice out of it. With an 8 hr ****, my battery would be close to 30% with light use - no youtube or pandora just check fb once in a while since my connection at work is limited.
recently changed to project v with bali and when i try to connect to the wifi at my place (att uverse modem), it's always stuck on getting the ip addy. i put in the password correctly. never had a problem with trigger or any other roms (nero4-5) to connect.
what can i do to connect to my wifi?
any more info you guys need lmk
thanks!
It may not be the phone try rebooting the modem and try again.

doh, thanks.
just had the att installed at my place so didnt think it was the modem but it was.
It Works ok if im less than 5 meters away from server. But anything over that and its unusable. I work about 10 meters from the server. And I get at least 2 - 3 bars of signal out of 4. And I can't even post a comment on here. The speed is very fast for about 30 seconds and then ridiculously slow. It also struggles to connect. Tries about 3 or 4 times before it connects. I'm running cm10 on s3 but have this problem on stock, omega and checkrom. I had simular problems with the s2 aswell but not s1. I don't want to use wifi kill as its my work and it might not solve the problem. Is this the s3 working on networks with multiple apns? Is there a code I can call to turn off power saving ?? Can't force to 5ghz either.
Some advice would be massively helpful. I am getting very frustrated.
Thanks in advanced

The s3 q&a is far more helpful than this whole community?

I believe the problem lies in network or in the wifi router. Maybe it's overloaded, try on-off cycling the router and see if it works then?
I kinda doubt that the issue is in the phone
I've fixed it now mate. Well chuffed. Don't know what it was really. But the method I used in above thread worked. It all started when I first rooted and flashed omega. Cm9 got rid of the authentication error (so it seems Sammy is at fault there) as for the WiFi range of about 3 meters and no connectivity after that distance. I'm not sure. Perhaps a problem deep in the settings I could not find. But completely wiping all settings worked. Not ideal. But confirmed working all day at work. So maybe a omega fault I don't know. Jus happy to have fixed it

It can be many problems! Maybe the ROM that you are runing has poor Wi-Fi support or maybe the phone is just "getting old" or maybe its the Wi-Fi set that sends you the signal!
I got a s3 which is not old but I've fixed it now. Thanks

Hello i just bought the galaxy s3 the last week.. i noticed that it gets connecting and disconnecting very often! Every 5-10 seconds does thatat.And the signal is weak compared to the iphone 4 same location ..i mean the router is 5-6 meters far away and im getting 2-3 signal bars but on iphone i have full signal!
Are there any ways to fix the disconnecting/connecting issues?
THANKS.

Mine is the opposite the minute i switch the phone on it locks onto the WI-Fi straight away.
Try a factory reset and perhaps that could do the trick

Hi all,
I am using a Vodafone branded I9100t.
It is running a dual boot of cm9 and cm10.
I am using it on the Optus network.
i am currently using the DUKJ1 modem, which has good connection speed, but the battery life with it is terrible. if i use 3G for browseing the web, after 20 mins, it will have used 10% of the battery.
And if I leave it in sleep with 3g turned on, it will loose over 10% of battery a hour, if not more.
i have googled it and cant find anything about my problem.
can someone please tell me which modem i should be using?
I have tried loads of modems, but they all give me either bad battery or bad data speed.
Does anyone know what the default modem Optus use on there own branded i9100t?
Thanks in advance for any help you can give me
Cheers Corey

How many battery cycles have you gone through after you flashed it? You need to give it at least three before you judge the battery. You can also get better battery stats from xda app section and cpu spy from the play store to see your wake locks and if your device is deep sleeping

Hi all,
I tried some of the available 4.3 and 4.4 rom but I got a huge problem is that I lost my mobile network connection after some time and sometimes even rebooting does not fix it. Sometimes when I do a call I immediately lost the connection and after 10 sec it is back and switching to 3G it let me do the call.
What can be the cause of that?
Thanks in advance for your help
Try a different modem. Ril in the custom roms may not like you're modem.

Do you know which one I should use? Also what is RIL and which one should I use?
I changed Modem to KI4 that I found better following comments on xda but after 3 weeks I got that problem twice one on friday and one yesterday. When my battery is low I lost connection and my phone become laggier and hot. What is causing that? What should I do?
Go back to stock firmware with odin and see if same problems are happening.
What rom are you on now mate?

I went to stock with odin as you did and still now it seems to be ok. I tried Neat ROM 4.4.2, Cyonogen 4.3 / 4.4, Slim Saber 4.2, 4.3, 4.4 and Neat ROM 4.1.2 and I got that problem mainly when battery is below 25% but not all time. My network simply no more working and in Quick Panel I can see No Service/Emtel (Emtel is my network provider) but I can't do nothing sometime rebooting do the trick but sometime I need to power off the phone and let it charge for about 30 min and power on and then it is back to ok. The weird thing is that it does not happened everytime sometime my battery can do to 1% and still having connection fully.
When I got that problem I noticed that my phone is heater and sometime lag.
What can be the cause of that? I'm on Stock right now without root I will tried it but the problem does not happened everytime sometime I can get it after 1 week or sometimes after 3 weeks or more.
Please help me as I would like to have 4.4.2 on my phone.
Thanks in advance for your help
Can someone help please?
Service maybe due to provider or signal tower near by. How old is you're current battery? Signal drops once in a while are very hard to solve. Things to try are modems and other network's.. That's about it. But if it only happens once in a while it's not to much to worry about and most if not all Android phones need a reboot once In a while too.

Hi,
Thanks for your reply, I tried to reinstall 4.4.2 from Neat ROM and I found that the problem occur everytime my battery is below 20% and only charging it back to a higher level fix the problem of my network loss. What can be the cause?
Thanks in advance for your help.
Does it shut of signal at 20% every time? Have you installed any mod to do this to you're signal? It could be a faulty battery messing with you're signal. Battery is the first thing I would check .

The fact is that I don't understand the battery. It does not happened ever time below 20% sometimes I can use it till 1% and it is working fine and sometimes no. I don't understand the battery as when I have this problem I can power off my phone and put on charge and while charging it indicated sometimes 40%, 60% etc... as on it is saying only less than 20% you think it is the battery?
One more thing this only happened when I have data connection on but if I disable data then it work fine.
