I'm really hoping this is an issue with my router but .. is anybody else having trouble staying connected to wifi? It connects and shows excellent signal strength, then it will disconnect for about 10 seconds before reconnecting. I haven't been able to test it with any other wifi sources, so I'm wondering if anyone else had a similar experience?
Yes happens to me as well. When it's connected it works well but then it will randomly disconnect then reconnect right after. Kinda annoying.
I read in another thread that this may have something to do with the antenna placement and the way I'm holding the phone
If that's the case then I must say that's pretty disappointing..

If holding the phone in landscape mode to watch youtube is doing it wrong, why have front facing stereo speakers? I really hope this isn't serious and that I either have a defective unit or my router is having issues.

OK know my X10 got ran over a few months ago and I brought a new case, lcd screen and digitizer for it and replaced the parts myself and the phone works fine apart from no wifi and bluetooth.
If anybody has any pictures pointing out where the wifi+bluetooth aerial or hardware is located I can take it back apart and look for damage to this part.
Before you ask, it was on 1.6 when repaired last week, wifi would come on but failed to connect to any router. After I flashed a generic X10i rom to the phone the wifi would not come on and I have tried a few wifi scanning apps from the market and they all say no connection. I only noticed the bluetooth not working yesterday when I tried to run blueputdroid.
So any images that you guys have would be great
Here is a picture of the phone in bits, on the main board at the bottom right is where the main aerial connects to the aerial in the back case, this cant be the fault as the phone has a great signal so if this was damaged surely the phone would have no signal what so ever???

I'm working with a Vibrant that has zero signal and am seeing if I could repair it.
Okay. I figured it out myself. Maybe it's not obvious for others, but the antenna on the left side of the phone (right side is the GPS) is the antenna. In my circumstance, this phone recently got the GPS-fix as outlined in the General sticky, but went wrong. So I removed the broken antenna(completely de-soldered it off the board) and filled the contact with 0.22 60/40 solder and filed it down using a nail filer(emery board). The result is posted below.

This worked in my experience. I reverted the phone back to stock using AIO and got a signal again and am now running ICS(ExROM) with little problem in reception. Only problem is that getting a good signal indoors is near impossible now. I've concluded that signal penetration is weaker as a result. However if you're outside under a good sky: there won't be any problems whatsoever.
Hopefully, someone finds some use out of this information. Better a "partial" working phone than a dead one
Hi all,
I'm having major BT issues with my S3 which I hope you can help me to resolve.
I have problems connecting and staying connected using the following devices:
Parrot Asteroid car stereo
Nexus 7 tablet
Intempo BT speaker
The Wife's S2 works perfectly with all of these devices.
The car stereo is the most annoying, as it just seems to disconnect at random, even mid-call. The phone sits in a proper Samsung windscreen mount and is well within BT range.
I just want it to automatically connect to these devices when in range, and share its internet connection with them as well.
Here is the 'about' screen from my phone:

Thanks for your reply, but I thought I was on the latest version for my phone? I got it through 3, and as far as Samfirmware.com is concerned 4.1.2 is the latest version. Or are you talking about something else?
Cheers,
BS...
Right, made some changes. Is this any better:
Will see how I get on.

I recently replaced by usb flex cable because the usb port wasn't charging the phone properly anymore (2nd time I might add).I noticed that my reception was incredibly poor after this so I tried to put the old one back in, but now the reception isn't any better in a lot of placed, though I think its back to LTE speeds for data when its available whereas before it wasn't but it many places I get no reception at all or very poor reception.
I may have damaged a little cable/plugin on the flex port, but i'm not sure what it is. Can anyone identify this? (picture)

maybe that part powers the antenna?
I think you might have accidently unplugged something somewhere else on the phone when you replaced the board. Or you ruined the actual lil wire that attaches to the receptacle in the pic you posted. If you swap boards shown in the pic and it doesn't fix problem it's something else.
Could someone try hooking up the charger to their PC when in recovery? I'm wondering if that would connect it to the PC or if you are going to have to go through a more complicated route...I'm thinking through the charger won't work.
To access fastboot you swipe from top left to bottom right in a straight line when booting. Do this when the Wear24 words are on the screen. If it doesn't go into it, then try again. I was able to do it at a store.
Instructions from verizon:
https://es.verizonwireless.com/support/knowledge-base-209362/
The charging base does not contain the circuitry for data.
If you take a look at the fcc filing photo, it only has two wires for charging.

There must be a way in using WiFi or bluetooth. I'm suspecting WiFi

Fastboot doesnt work over WiFi, only over USB.
Besides, does Qi even support data?
I think the only way is to crack the watch open, and map the pin points to a male usb cable. Someone on another thread was attempting it.
I will just leave it here: https://forum.xda-developers.com/an...how-to-install-twrp-recovery-achieve-t3781502
