Hi, I've got an i9300 and since yesterday I dont have internet though I'm connected to WiFi. Last thing I did was playing marvel game and I was updating samsung apps and gamehub, then phone charged off and after I did charge it like for 50% I scanned for an update to see if there is available one, it showed for hours that it is trying to connect to server.

Changed keep wifi on during sleep to never, restarted the router, forgot the connectionand restarted the phone and connected to wifi again, and the *#0011# tip too, also I've tried to config manually connection. Help please.
P.s wifi works on my laptop, motorola razr and galaxy tab 2 very well

[Q] Help problem with Wifi conects but no Internet

OK so I have T mobile version Galaxy S 3 phone is rooted (stock ROM)
WiFi was working properly except that sometimes when I had few devices connected to my router it didn't want to connect , but I have always experienced that problem with android on my HTC Evo and My touch 4g, it seems that when you connect to a router and disconnect and another device connects the phone tries to connect using the old IP which is now used by the other device.
its annoying but biggest problem now with the S 3 is that 2 days ago the phone will connect to the router at least it shows the WiFi icon on the status bar and on the wireless and network info ( connected ) but once I try to open a web page or app like Facebook it will show no connection, Kies air doesn't even recognize that there is a WiFi connection.
I have tried looking around on this forum and on google and have seen other people with same problem but no solution at all.
any ideas anyone?
I have tried forgetting the connection, restarting phone router, modem.
and other devices including my old phones work.
If your getting the same problem with different phones then the problem must be with your router. It seem that it only allows a certain number of devices to connect to it.
No, other devices and phones are working properly, problem is only on the SG3 100% sure not router problem at all , I am thinking something about the WiFi info on the phone got corrupted or something I guess I will try factory reset and wipe everything.
Well for future references, I had to do a full wipe ( data, dalvik, cache) and its working now as intended.
anyone experiencing this problem with galaxy s3 wifi connection after I reset my device it started working again but now after a few days the issue is back, have Wifi ICon on status bar but no connection to the internet at all, this is only happening with the S3 , evo 4g , mytouch 4g, laptop and desktop work without any problems.
Ok finally found the solution without the need of resetting the device. had to use static ip on my phone...
long click network connection , modify network config, show advance options, "ip settings = static" assign an ip and if u need help finding other info as gateway, dns servers etc..
on windows run "cmd" and ipconfig /all

[Q] Wifi connection is not working properly on S2

Hi,
I have a year old factory unlocked S2 which was working fine till this morning. All of a sudden, I see that even though the WiFi shows as connected, there is no internet connection. I restarted it quite a few times but to no avail. The software is up to date and I have not done anything fancy with it ever. No rooting, nothing...
Can anyone please help? My other devices are connecting to the same wifi and working fine...includes my windows laptop, mac, iphone and ipad...

I tried it, in fact removed all the known wi fi networks, then shut down phone then connected back to the wifi... even then, no internet... the small green arrow near the wifi symbol shows that data is being sent, but the orange arrow that signifies that data is being downloaded/received hardly lights up...
chrome does not open the page, foursquare does not connect, even the default accuweather app does not refresh... any idea?
Just a thought, is your Wifi router connected to the internet? Connectivity issues?
If you can afford it, try doing a factory reset. Also try connecting to some other router. If it was working till morning, and the phone didn't fell down/experience damages, I don't get why it stopped working all of a sudden.

Thanks Sikander... at the end, I think I will try a factory reset.. for nothing else is working...the phone has never been dropped :fingers-crossed:
but like I said, all my other devices are also connected to wifi and they are working perfectly so I would not think that it is a problem with the router...
thanks again... but pls let me know if you think that anything else might help

[Q] Wifi connection problem - Omega rom v35

Hey guys,
Wasnt sure where to post this. Have a question regarding wifi conection settings. I was on omega v34 and everything was fine. My phone connected to all wifi networks I wanted it to. I updated to v35 of the rom and now I have a strange problem.
My phone still connects to my house wifi and work wifi, but refuses to connect to my parents wireless. Ive reset their router, changed the password and removed the settings for the network on my phone. When I refresh and attempt to connect to it all I get is "authenticating" and then it will give up. It is a BT home hub and the strange thing is that my phone will connect to the 'free wifi' BTwifi-with-FON and the BTwifi, but not the proper network zone BTHub3-T2G6. Its incredibly annoying.
Are there any hidden settings in my phone that may have the wrong settings for the network in it?
Any help would be appreciated
EDIT: Just turned the security off on the network and the phone connects fine. I dont understand why the security key would cause problems as it connected before the update and the settings havent changed.
check my sig

[Q] wifi disconnects after few second and cant connect again

Hi guys,
so here is my problem, i have Xperia Z2 with 5.0.2 Android.
Everything worked fine for few months wifi connected automatically to my home network, but yesterday it stopped working. It connects for maybe 5 seconds and then disconnects. When i try to connect i need add password and then it connects for few seconds and disconnects again.
I had the same problem with my old router few months ago. Phone was connecting without any problems for months and then one day it stopped.
It was some old TPLink model, now i have TP Link W8790. The same scenario after few weeks ;(
I havent changed anything in modem settings, the same with phone.
Any other devices like my 3 laptops, and 2 other phones have no problem with connection.
My xperia connects to other networks without any problems.
I was looking for solutions everywhere.
I ve done all resetting device, changing modem settings etc.
Could You please help me with this one?
Which secruity has your Wifi? Did you try changing the password?
Yup, i've done everyting with my router, with reset and change passwords. Encryption is set to WPA-PSK/WPA2-PSK. I discovered today that my phone disconnects with my friend's network as well, but it worked fine few days ago. In fact i remember that I connected with that network and then when I came home, my phone started to disconnects from my network. Both are 2.4Ghz networks. It must be phone issue . It works on 5Ghz with network in my work... but at the same time it cant be 2,4 issue since i connected to AP which my friend created from his phone.. thats crazy. Is there any possibility to reset wifi card on mobile?
Did u try a factory reset on your phone? Did you OTA-Update from your provider or flashed a FTF for 5.0.2
I havent tried to restore fabric setting, I dont think its a solution, because it stopped working one day ( few days after i paired my device with sony wristband swr10, i dont know if it matters) and then after 2 months not working, i changed my router.. worked for 1 month and now the same problem with new router Update came from provider.

Question Wifi will not stay connected,

I woke up this morning and noticed my wifi will not stay connected, I tried resetting my home network, also choose to forget saved networks, reset all connections, and even did a factory reset. Still wifi will not stay connected. Also tried on different network. I know Pixel 6 had a problem last year but I never experienced this until today. Any Help would be appreciated
Also wanted to say I am running stock firmware for T-Mobile. I did do a security update to see if that would fix wifi but it did not. Have not installed any new apps either.
Figured it out, It was the router after all. I have 1 router and 2 access points., named differently. I left and tried it on open wifi at coffee shop and everything worked. I went back home factory reset my router and put in new ssid and password. Now everything works . I never would have thought it would be router, because laptop and other devices had no problem with connecting.
