Can't turn on wifi - Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Anybody who experienced this problem with regards to wifi?

I can't turn on the wifi. When I toggle the wifi button on, it keeps saying (turning on...) but it toggles back to off all by itself. I can't even see the screen where it list available networks.
Earlier in the morning I can still browse the internet using my wifi at home. While I was watching TV, I grab my phone to check emails and IMs only to discover that I can't connect to my wifi anymore. My laptop and tablet can connect to it though.
Things that I tried:
1. Reset the router
2. Disabled wifi power saving on the phone
3. Re-flashed custom rom (still no good)
4. Re-flashed stock rom (no luck either)
5. Tried several modems and kernels
6. Tried playstore wifi fixer apps
Any help would be appreciated. This is very frustrating for me because I can't use mobile data all the time and I don't have a spare phone for now (to be used for internet, especially for work purposes).

Have you tried reflashing a rom with wipe? Or flashing another rom?
If you have similar issues with other roms and you in fact did full wipe then I'd say that this looks like a hardware problem.

I have seen something similar on a i9100 before - the cause there was a damaged EFS partition - you should check if the info under About device -> Status is still correct (at least the MAC address under WiFi and the IMEI). That being said there are many other possible problems, including a hardware problem with the internal WiFi adapter

Yes, I've tried those already but to no avail. If it is a hardware problem, how much will it cost me to fix my wifi? I have lost my proof of purchase so I can't claim my warranty.

I have no idea, take your phone to any repair center and tell them to take a look. I'd say that this is in fact hardware problem, maybe your wi-fi adapter is broken or something like that.
Also if you don't have any warranty then it's the only way to get it fixed I suppose.

What could have triggered this? It is still in good shape until afternoon yesterday.
Yeah I guess I'll take it to the repair center but too bad I'll have to wait till weekend because I do have work.

Just in case, ensure you reset the counter and flash the stock ROM before taking it to the service centre! :thumbup:

RESOLVED: Wifi Problems After ICS Update

I am currently experiencing difficulties trying to connect and browse the internet post ICS update.
Before the ICS update had taken place, there were zero wifi connection problems and using/browsing the internet was a breeze,
After the ICS update, I encounter frequent connection drops, where the Wifi is connected, but am unable to actually use the internet. In addition, whenever I am able to connect to the internet and use it, it becomes really laggy and unstable.
Is anyone else encountering similar problems?
EDIT: Problem resolved after a factory reset.

I've had what may be a similar problem crop up only after the ICS update. When browsing in the stock browser, the browser will occasionally lose all connection to the Internet. However, when this happens, other apps can still connect fine. To fix it, I have to completely close the browser using the multitasking button. Closing individual tabs and refreshing doesn't help.

In my situation, whenever I lose the connection, I am unable to connect to the internet completely; affecting not just the browser, but all apps as well.
Have you tried rebooting the prime or even your home network/router?

Tried both, didn't work.
I've tried multiple networks which worked fine on my laptop, but failed to work on my TF201.
I second this. I could connect to my router. But there is no internet connection at all.
(Other PC connected to the router or wireless device works just fine.)
This is using the HK Stock version. Which I just bought yesterday and updated last night
*UPDATE*
Even a factory reset won't help!
Had this same thing happen to me twice. First time factory reset fixed it. Second time i just put it down and when i came back after a couple of hours it was fixed. Wish i knew what caused this. I'm keeping titanium backup on my sd card in case i need to factory reset more. Hopefully wont have to.

You are right. Several hours later the wifi suddenly work without any sense.
But the wifi signal is horribly weak even I sit next to the router.
And it's very unstable for the wifi connection.

This hasn't happened on my Prime yet, but both my Nook Color and HTC Thunderbolt will occasionally have similar problems with wifi. I've found that if you go into the Settings app and "forget" every wifi network you've ever connected to (has to be all of them, not just the one you're having trouble with), you can then re-connect and it will work fine. Slightly less of a PITA than a factory reset!

Hey you, I have a OT question to ask you.
How do you update the Nook Color from the tablet itself (like we do on the Prime under configurations)? I'm trying to help my mom who has a Nook Color and still running the old firmware version. I read a new version was released last month.
B&N only shows how to do a manual update from their website, that requires downloading the firmware and linking your tablet with a PC.

I've always used the sideload method, so I can't really tell you anything you couldn't figure out by Googling "nook color force ota update", which I'm sure you've already done. Looks like B&N pushes it out whenever they feel like it.

CM9 0.6 Alpha Bugs/Questions

Now, I know that this rom is still in an early Alpha stage, but as a test I left it on, unplugged with wifi on, not connecte (having that irritating bug where it won't connect to anything), to see how long the battery lasts, and I noticed 2 things.

A. Should the battery be draining this quick, when it was not used for the 24 hours which it lasted on battery? I mean, no apps were running, and it wasn't even connected to wifi, I usually leave wifi on on my phone by an accident and I don't notice it draining the battery that quick...(my only explenation although I dunno if it's right, is that while it's not connected and there are networks that it knows and can connect to in range, that it is constantly TRYING to connect, and thus draining the battery?
B. It says that it was constantly awake, but if you look below, the screen was turned on like, 2 or three times throughout the day?
Any ideas about these? Anyone know a fix for wifi? I tried wifi fixer from the market, but it didn't work (looks like all it does is reset the wifi) (and please don't suggest the changing channel thing on the router, cause I can't do that in college). Also, calendar won't sync with my email, says sync is down, try again later, and in accounts and settings, it doesn't say sync Calendar, it says sync com.android.calendar...? I tried wiping dalvik cache and reinstalled GAPPS V11...but nothing, still won't sync
Thanks guys.

Try Fixing Permissions in CWM. If that doesn't work then wipe everything and reinstall.
what would the permissions fix be for...the calendar?
It should fix the wifi. Did you have android on your TP before ICS? If you did you might of installed it over one another which may lead to problems. Best bet is to backup, wipe everything, and reinstall. I currently have ICS on my TP and its golden! Never had wifi problems and use my Calender daily.
Re: Your battery life. If you check your process list with top from a console or with all options on in system tuner, do you see anything pegging the CPU? I had an odd issue where netd was consuming loads of resources (50-90% constantly on one core) and it was killing the battery like that and making the device slower. I replaced that daemon with the same file from CM7 and stopped having issues.
Check the last few pages of the CM9 thread in the dev section for more details.

Edit, here's my battery life for a similar period with wifi on.
Weird tapatalk bug. Ignore.
Scroll down the page to the link for gapps fixer, it should fix your calendar problem.

I'll try this tonight, also, @mkosem, your screen isn't always "awake", mine is despite the fact it wasn't used for the full day!

I'm pretty sure awake and screen on are different things. I was having some nasty idle issues before I replaced netd though. I don't recall if it was staying awake like that, but one core was pegged constantly at >=50%.

I've seen this suggestion multiple times with no real explanation as to why this fixes the wifi.
I did this multiple times across multiple clean installs. It did not fix the Wifi for me.
Does anyone know why this is being suggested as a way to fix wifi??

Tried that and did nothing. Changing the router channel to 4 fixed it though. Battery life still isn't great though. Gonna try that netd thing later

[Q] GPS module disabled or broken?

Hi.
About three weeks ago the gps on my galaxy s2 stopped working. I have been running CM9 nightlies since about march with no issues before this.
This isn't a matter of not locking properly, and the internal gps is set properly in settings. It simply seems like the phone cannot communicate with the GPS modal. No GPS symbol appears in the status bar. I do most of my testing in the GPS Toolbox app.
Is there a way to tell if this is a software issue or a hardware issue.
any advice would be useful.
Back to stock firmware in the first instance. If you have the same problem running stock, then chances are it's a hardware issue.

Did this a while back. No change, exact same behaviour. Is there some way i can test to be 100% sure it is a hardware failure?
your last chance is to change the modem , try diffrent modems , and give your gps some time too be locked , also try some gps patches " you will find alot around here "
run your test in avery very clean sky to be sure it is ahardware fault , thats what i can tell you
btw : run the test with gps status app , i know it very well , and it will download the agps data auto while you are connected to the internet , and will provide with alot of usefull info , and have alot of settings

I am almost 100% sure that your modem had no control over the gps, only the data it downloads to help clock sync to the gps signal. I don't need to be outside to test this, It's not a gps locking issue, its a gps working at all issue.
I switched back to an old modem that it use to work on anyway, no luck.
1) You are absolutely correct re: modem having nothing to do with GPS ;-)
2) I doubt there's any way that you as a phone user (as opposed to someone who is used to tinkering with the hardware/fixes them for a living) can test definitively for a hardware problem so far as GPS is concerned. Honestly, you've tried everything a user could possibly try to rule out a hardware problem (unless it's something really obvious we're both missing here).
Me, I'd send it in for warranty service. Out of warranty/warranty service too hard to organise ? Take it to a mobile repair shop & explain exactly what the problem is & exactly what you've been doing with the phone up until now (they don't care you've been running non-stock firmware as it's not a warranty job; the few mobile techs I've met run non-stock firmware on their phones).

Yep, There is a place I know that i will probably take the phone too. Just trying to make sure I am not missing something stupid here.
Yep that's what I've been sitting here going thru in my head in the 20 minutes since my last post. I can't find anything obvious other than maybe do a completely clean install of stock ?
That is format cache, data, system, & internal sd card in CWM, then flash stock in Odin then see what happens. Don't restore anything at all until you've tested the GPS with a 'clean' setup. Obviously install GPS Status from Google Play to test it out.
I know you did a wipe/factory reset when you tried stock, which would have taken care of anything that may have been left behind from CM9 or whatever.
Unfortunately that's all I got :-( Hope you've been able to think of something in the interim we might have missed.

Hi,
Sorry for digging those thread out. i have exact the same issue with my I9100.
The GPS icon will not show up once launching an gps app.
Also returned to a stock firmware, same issue.
I have checked the antenna connection between the 2 boards and this is fine.
What was your solution?
Thanks a lot,
Mark

It was a hardware issue. Repair guys replaced the mainboard and all was well.
I had to send it to them twice as nothing showed up on their debug and they sent it straight back. Give them specific instructions to try and actually use the GPS so they catch the problem.

[Q][SOLVED][WIFI Power Safe Mode] WLAN get stuck after a while / after standby

Hello everybody
Problem:
Since the first ROM (XXALE8) till the newest ROM (XXBLFB) I have the same bug on every ROM. When I stay in an WLAN / WIFI for a longer time and the phone goes in standby, after wake up, the WLAN / WIFI gets stuck and is not working anymore.
Means that the connection is still there but no data is received at all!
The WLAN / WIFI symbol then shows only that it is sending data like this:

"lightbox_new_window": "New window",
"lightbox_toggle_sidebar": "Toggle sidebar"
}
After reading around a little bit in different forums and here on XDA, I found out, that many others have this problem and that there is a fix for it:
Disabling the "WIFI Power Save Mode" solves the problem and it is done like this:
- Type in your phone dialer *#0011#
- Press menu key to open the options-menu
- Press "WIFI"
- Hit the button to turn off "WIFI Power Save Mode"
Problem is that this have to be done again after every reboot because the Power Save Mode is set back to ON after reboot.

Question:
My Questions are now:
- Is this a known problem, do you have it?
- Is there a better way to fix this problem?
- Why do some people have the problem and some not?
- Is it a ROM-specific or Modem-specific problem?
- Does it perhaps belong to the settings on the WIFI Hotspot / WLAN Router?

Fix / Solve:
In my opinion it seems, that it is like this:
- It's not a problem of the WIFI Hotspot / WLAN Router
- It's a problem of some ROMs in addition with old/false system-files
And in my case I could fix it like this:
- Make a backup of all user-apps and system-files with Titanium Backup
- Flash the actual newest ROM (XXBLFB) via Odin (PC-Odin)
- Flash the CF-Root via Odin
- Go to CWM-recovery and do a wipe data / factory reset
- Restore everything with Titanium Backup
- Enjoy WIFI / WLAN working without bugs!

I have the same problem with you, now also is to find a solution, I doubt is the device itself.
Just try on my phone:
-put the wifi on
-update my weather widget just to be sure that wifi connection works
-let the phone goes to standby
-put it on my desk for about half an hour
Just a few minutes ago, I take the phone and the wifi connection still works...
Yeah got that disconnected problem to. Helped a lot when on LFB,but it's hasn't disappeared,only disconnected 4 times in 24h.normally 20-30 times a day.

But for mine, it does not disconnect. The connection is still there, only the transfer of data gets loose...
Is amazing, since I brush miui ROM, this problem is never happened, you can try.

Yes, that could be! But it could not be that a new Samsung Phone with original Firmware has such problems!
Do nobody have news about this topic?
Another question: is there a way to get more to stock/original, than doing a wipe data in recovery? I mean for example after I flashed a stock rom like XXBLFB..
I have this same problem too. I have WiFi set to 'stay connected only when plugged in'
It only really happens when the phone has had quite a few mins to go into a deep sleep. I wake it up, and it never reconnects to my router.
If i go to WiFi, it says it's scanning, but it never finds or connects to the router. I also cannot manually connect.
I have to turn WiFi off and then on again to get it working.
This is the only bloody thing that annoys me with my phone - if anyone has any ideas, please please post!
ta!
on LFB, haven't had this happen yet.
So I got it working now, look at the first post for my method to get rid of this annoying WIFI / WLAN bug!
Perhaps some of you, that have the same bug can test this method? Is it working for you?

I am having the same problem with my Android TV box. To try out the option, I dont have a phone dialer in the box. Can someone advice how to disable wifi power saving mode in my Android TV Box ?

Question Unable to delete "T-mobile.com" wifi subscription?

Settings-> Wi-Fi & Network -> Wi-Fi -> Saved Networks
Under [Subscrptions], there is <t-mobile.com> which will Auto Connect after you reboot your phone.
Unfortunately, it will re-install itself after you reboot your phone even you perform "Forget" or "Delete" it. ( yes, I have PM uninstall all T-mobile packages already )
Anyone know how to delete it or what it is?

1. "T-mobile.com" is wifi subscription.
2. I do not have wifi subscription via T-mobile.
3. My other phone, Samsung a32 will not auto install this subscription under my Saved Wifi.
4. Even if I disconect this subscription, my phone still works without issue as well as Wifi.
5. I do not wish to have it auto-connected after reboot.
Can you provie solution instead throw me more questions?

This is not related to Wi-Fi in any way. Notice how it simply says "Saved networks", then below "t-mobile.com", it has "Wi-Fi Networks". This implies, as far as I'm aware, that it is not Wi-Fi, but rather your cellular data subscription from T-Mobile.

so you don't have the real answer to my question.
It could just be hard coded into the tmobile branded phones to give you access to tmobile hotspots.

This could be it.
However, I also have T-mobile branded Samsung A32 5g but it does not re-install "t-mobile.com" under [Saved networks] menu after I delete it. That's why I like to know if I can prevent auto-install after I delete it.
FYI, I have already PM uninstalled all tmo packages.
I want to say many phones ago I had a similar issue with a package that happened on one phone and not another. What I remember of it was the AOKP guys went digging into it and they found that on the tmobile branded version of that phone in the original rom it was buried deep enough it couldn't be turned off. I am not sure if it was the same package but I do recall it had something to do with their wifi networks.

This makes sense. Glad you could clear this up, I was also curious.
I wouldn't swear it's cleared up lol. Like I said I could be wrong, I just remember it was a package that the AOKP guys went looking for in the stock rom for the phone (Motorola cliq or cliq2 maybe) and that it was something to do with the wifi but it was harmless just gave you access to their instore wifi stuff. I'll leave the clearing up to people much smarter than me......

Yeah I see what you mean. I'll still leave this as a possible theory until it's 100% confirmed.
