[Q] galaxy s2 keeps losing wifi connection - Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Hi,
We have 2 galaxy s2's in the house one works fine but the other (luckily for me its my wifes) keeps disconnecting from the home wifi, it even requires the password to be re-entered each time. I have cross referenced settings on the 2 handsets but can find no differences.
Model GT-I9100
Android version 4.1.2
Neither phone has ever been rooted
Any ideas you may have will be highly appreciated
Cheers

Any ideas?

[Q] But why?

Here's the problem I'm having, wasn't able to find any other answers on here via searching here or other sites.
I'm unable to actually 'pair' via bluetooth my samsung galaxy tab 10.1 (16gb wifi only) with my samsung galaxy s2 (att version) . Now each device recognizes one another, but they don't actually connect. I can go through the motions and hit accept whatever code, but then I get nothing. Try to force it to connect, nothing.
I actually tried to pair an 8.9 tab with an S2 in the att store via bluetooth. I would say that I was able to replicate it (i.e. it still didn't work), but given all the other devices and the extended range I wouldn't call it a successful recreation.
Why don't they pair? Is any one else able to get their s2 and tab 10.1 to pair? Maybe it's just an att thing? Tech support figured it was a defect in my phone and it just needed a hard reset. I decided to do the test before wiping everything and starting fresh.
PLEASE HELP!
so it seems I'm not the only one with this issue (not sure if good or bad thing)
Found this thread on another site: http://www.mygalaxytab.net/samsung-...etecting-and-pairing-problem/msg5751/#msg5751
The most interesting part of that was this, "I was told that Samsung will not push this as an update."
So are we just stuck then? I'm not too happy about that.
I called samsung and they have no knowledge of this issue with my particular devices. I didn't realize that other devices had basically stopped working: http://www.galaxytabforums.net/foru...luetooth-other-devices-galaxy-tab-10-1-a.html
Any one out there having luck pairing their tab and phone via bluetooth to transfer files and whatnot?

i have tried pairing GTab 10.1 with SG2 with no issue. first try to identify which device has issue GTab or SG2. try to connect your GTab with any other bluetooth mobile.
I had never tried before, but just paired my GTab 10.1 wifi only with my GS2 International model. Paired just fine and was able to send a photo from my phone to the tab.
Have paired my Galaxy Tab 10.1 with Galaxy y without any problems. Transferring files etc. I am using basically the micro sd card of my Galaxy y as an external storage for the tab.
Using stock 3.1 in tab and rooted 2.3.5 in Galaxy y
thanks for the feedback guys.
I'll pairing with my boss's epic in a bit, but for kmaq: what s2 do you have? If att version, is it the stock rom?
I'm wondering if this is AT&T's doing rather than the devices themselves.
I'm also going to stop by an AT&T store later with my tab to test my phone/tab with their phone/tabs.
EDIT: If I take my tab to an ATT store and can't pair it with a new/different s2, but the tab can successfully pair with another phone then for sure it's a software issue? What would be my next move if that's the case?
UPDATE:
Tried pairing my tab with a bunch of other devices to try and rule out my phone, and now I'm not sure if my results are helpful or not.
So this list is what I paired with my tab and results.
samsung epic 4g (sprint) - NO
samsung galaxy s2 (att in-store working unit) - NO
Motorola atrix 2 (att) - YES
Motorola Droid Razr (verizon) - YES
LG phoenix? (att) - NO
HTC Inspire (att) - NO
Summary, my tablet can pair AND connect via bluetooth with motorola phones. Which explains why it would pair with my friend's droid x in the past.
So what does this mean? Should I factory reset my tablet to try the bluetooth fix?* If that doesn't work, then am I going to have to send it in for repairs/evaluation?
Please let me know what you guys think, because I'm going to call samsung tech support tomorrow and see what they say.
*EDIT: the hard reset did nothing, and samsung tech support filed a claim for 'tier 2' support.
can anyone help?

[HELP] galaxy note 10.1 cannot register on network

I have just bought a galaxy note 10.1 n8000 3g+wifi for 1 month My tablet still worked well until I take its sim card out, and use it for my 3G USB. This USB seemed to be broken down, so that my computer was frozen every time I plug it in. I put my sim back into galaxy note 10.1, and a problem occurred. My Note 10.1 cannot register on network even I see a full signal bar; meanwhile, a notification showed that "the selected network is unavailable". When I try to make a call, it's appeared to be "Not registered on network". At first, I think this problem can simply solved by changing the sim card, but the real tragedy is that this problem continue occur regardless how many sims I buy from many different network providers. Those sims still work on other devices, hence this error certainly is from my tablet. Its firmware is stock 4.1.1 and rooted, I have tried to solve this error by reset factory, unroot, change to another rom, but they're all usless. Now, it only allows emergency calls. So, any help, suggestion or solution is appreciated
Very sorry for my bad English! Thank you
Your in the wrong device forum, this is the first gen Galaxy Tab, has nothing to do with the Note.

[Q] Galaxy Note 2 Wifi/Data Connection

Hello
I signed up for this sole purpose since I simply cannot find the solution anywhere. (Either outdated, or I suck at googling).
I have a Samsung Galaxy Note 2, GT-N7105. My data connection disconnects once I connect to a Wifi network.
I noticed this only two days ago, where I was on the custom rom Beanstalk 4.3.1 for the note 2. I contacted my telco (Singtel), they did what they could. Still the same. This is accompanied by deprival of google services, like youtube and the play store, where both say network connect error or no network. I thought this could be a problem with my rom, so I flashed a new one. (Clean!). On to ParanoidAndroid. No diff. Now I'm back on stock firmware, unrooted. I still have this problem. Is this normal and me just being stupid? I admit that I'm very new to the android scene having just converted from iOS. Still, I've done whatever I could. (Airplane mode, battery pull, stuff.)
I could live with the data connection thing, but it irks me when the said apps don't work, y'know? I hope you can help me. Thanks in advance

[Q] Trouble with internet connection, EDGE only

I'm having an issue with my internet connection. I have a Galaxy S3 (SGH-I747) running Slimbean custom rom (Android 4.3). It's an AT&T phone which I unlocked. I am in Egypt right now on the Etisalat network.
I am only getting EDGE connectivity right now. I tried talking to technical support but all my settings seem to be in order. I checked all my settings multiple times (APN, Mobile data, etc) and everything should be ok. My sister has the same phone with the same software and phone line and she is getting 3g speeds. I tried switching our SIM cards to see if the problem is with my SIM card. Her phone was still showing 3g speeds and mine was only getting EDGE.
Does anyone have experience with this or advice for solutions? Any help would be greatly appreciated
