Hello everyone, i'm asking this because it's the third time i had this issue. I often keep my Data Network Mode deactivated and turn it on only when i need because of my 3g plan (quota, taxes, and also because it's likely to find a WiFi network in the places i usually go).
The problem is, sometimes i turn on 3g (by Phone options menu) and... nothing happens... i need to reboot to make it work again.
The 3G network in my country is quite unstable, but i'm pretty sure that isn't a signal problem because one of the times i was turning on/off the 3G to make it work and i gave up and forgot to turn it off, the next day when i tried again i found it was On but not connected. After a reboot, working again.
Anyone having this issue who found a fix? Could be a problem with the kernel or app?
Edit: I Forgot: CF-ROOT Kernel, KF3

mate i am afraid you have answer already - "The 3G network in my country is quite unstable"
that can clearly produce the bug. Just in the case check your APN settings if they are correct. Settings- wireless and network-mobile networks- access Poin Names - compare the stats there with your network provider and make deep research.
just example i am on vodafone - i found that i was running vodafone live profile in APN and i was loosing conexion and i had troubles loading some pages - after research i found that there is another setup for vodafone as well - different then the live but for vodafone as well. i am using it since then and i am experiencing now the lighting speed of 3g. Just give it a try.
Searching on the internet i found that the configuration of my APN is equal to the recommended.
Backup data and factory reset phone should clear any software problems .
You could try flashing KH3 modem .

Same issue here for both rooted and un-rooted GS2
Retracted - will have to do more testing
Please can anyone help.
Up till a couple of days ago my s3 would automatically connect to my wifi signal at home as soon as I walked into my house, haven't changed any thing but it no won't connect until either I reboot or switch wifi off and then back on again . Tried rebooting phone which works for the first connection but subsequently won't connect again after sleep or at least the phone not being used for a while. Also switching wifi off and back on again works but as before once wi fi shuts down it won't reconnect by just swiping the screen and taking the phone off of standby.
Hope that was clear enough lol
Many thanks Ian

Reboot the modem/router and try again. If that doesn`t help press your wifi connection in settings and reinsert the password and reboot.

Yes I've found plenty of things relating to wifi issues on the phone but none specifically to this one so if anyone could help I would be grateful.
I assume you've tried forgetting the network and re-entering the details.
Also try playing with the Wi-Fi sleep policy, in the past this has caused some problems with the stability of the connection. Settings, Wi-Fi, menu, advanced.
Also it might be on the router side. Try changing the channel on the router, and if it's dual band set it to 2.4ghz instead of 5.

Back up data. Factory reset.
Update firmware.
Change kernel.
That's three possible fixes.

Im getting very similar issues with my s3 trying to connect to a dlink router, works fine with the netgear one though. Did you manage to fix?

I cannot seem to get the WIFI Sleep to work at all. Even when set to NEVER on when asleep I can see in the battery stats that WIFI has stayed on the entire time. Any idea why this is?
can you tell us the ROM and kernel you are using (if you are using custom)? I have never had any issues with stock kernel myself.
also, did you hide your wifi SSID? in the past, it might cause some issues...
I was having the same problem, try this.. Setting - wifi - advanced - keep wifi on during sleep - Always.
I haven't noticed more battery use,

if you want another option besides backing up your data, doing a full wipe, and reloading your data, try a different kernel...easy fix that seems to fix these problems most of the time...the kernel is responsible for your wifi, gps, bluetooth, cpu, gpu, etc...so swapping it out should fix an issue like that
The short of it is, my Wifi crapped out for reasons beyond my experiences thus far.
The long of it. I flashed epinter's 07/25/2012 Nightly and everything seemed to be working nicely, Wifi especially. Then today, out running errands and dropped my Atrix in my Car Dock and attempted to turn on Bluetooth for the first time since flashing, and the device froze then restarted. Once back up, I tried turning Wifi back on, and the device froze again and restarted. Thinking maybe the radio driver went south, I grabbed epinter's 07/27/2012 build (epinter-cm10-20120727_1846-UNOFFICIAL-olympus.zip), and still no luck. Back into Recovery, Wiping everything and also factory resetting then flashing twice over again, boot up, still no wifi, and if it manages to seemingly fire up, the device hangs and restarts.
Within the last 2 hours (Been at this for about 12 hours now.) I grabbed Jokersax's build (Beta 0.1.0), wiped/reset/flash twice as I have before. Now as I take a breath I noticed that the Wifi Icon came up in the Notification bar, but when I go into Settings and Scan, I see none of the Networks around me. I looked under Advanced and noticed that my MAC Address is 'Unavailable' nor am I showing an IP address, even though Wifi is saying 'On'. Verified on my Router, my Phone is not connected to it.
Odd Side note, installed aLogcat just to see if I could catch any errors, and it is not giving me anything, that is, I am not seeing any logs through the app. Most likely an unrelated issue, but still a tad annoying.
Everything else seems in order, including Mobile Data (Able to access Web Pages, Market/Play Store, receive email, etc.). Just Wifi pretty much 'Lights are on, but no one is Home.'. Any suggestions on next steps?
We discussed this issue over in some other threads and conclusion is that it's a hardware malfunction Ur broadcom chip is burned,many people (including me) had that problem.

I need to really work on my searching, tried several variations of 'atrix WiFi cm10' and could not pin down a related thread.
But back on topic, CRAP! What I was hoping was not the case. Thanks for the reply, will continue to dig for those threads and cross fingers the chip really is not fried (doubtful but hey, people can dream right?).
Thank you for the reply.

I can't search the threads right now as i am typing from my phone-search is limited to 20-30 posts... But keywords for ur search should be : "atrix wifi error" or "wifi and bluetooth error on atrix" Several forums have this kinda threads,not just xda unfortunately ... seems like it's very often malfunction on this lovely phone. I couldn't repair my previous atrix so i bought another one.

We're talking fastboot wipe kind of clean install? Going to give that a go as a last attempt, will post results here.
Glimmer of hope tonight, was discussing the problem with a friend, went to turn on WiFi and it actually scanned and connected for about 2 minutes before crapping out. This tells me there maybe life to the chip still. Now to get fastboot to connect and try a wipe and see what happens.

Any news on this front? I am one of the afflicted as well.
I'm having a similar issue. though my BT works just fine, no delays, no errors, no intermittance.
Wifi, I can scan for networks just fine. i click on mine to connect. it shows connecting, noting that when it says connecting the signal shows 1 bar as compared to the full set of wifi bars when scanning, i am also right next to the AP. is tries connceting for about 20 seconds or so. then goes back to saying "saved" under the SSID, other networks showing "disabled" when this happens. i originally noticed this after flashing epinters cm10. i tried flashing 37p, 36p and 30p radios with no difference.
EDIT: also want to note that i HAVE disabled the "avoid poor connections" option. and have tried setting static IP.
I flashed the same and I am unable to get my wifi to work after clean wipe, radio install or anything else that I have tried. Could software have really burned up a wifi radio????

Mine works occasionally so I don't think the radio is dead. The rom just acts like it's not there most of the time and doesn't give a mac address. Sometimes it works though after a reboot. Would flashing a different radio help? My baseband version says N_01.77.37P
I had an IP and a MAC, but no wifi internet.
Using mobile data, I downloaded Set DNS and then enabled wifi, works fine.
Now it's working but mobile data is going very very slow, it took 5min to download Set DNS.
I have a skyrocket but the "no wifi" issue is probably the same - your not getting DNS
I'm going back to CM9 for now.
+1 wifi matter under CM10
Try rebooting the router.
Experienced same issue (unable to connect, showing full bars, dropping to 1 bar when connecting and never being able to complete a connection) rebooting my router has fixed the issue. I'm not technical but it might have to do with the DNS release for addresses .. in any case unplugging my router for a bit and restarting it fixed the issue for me.
I updated to OTA jb 4.1.1 3-4 days ago
till yesterday, wifi was working normal but from today morning I see some weird problem.
When i try to connect my phone to my home's wifi, it gets connected. After that I open any internet based app, for the first time it works. then the internet stops.
I mean the wifi symbol is still there on the status bar but. it doesn't work.
I can't open any web pages, i have to turn wifi on-off to make it works, after loading one page it stops again.
But internet from the pc is working.
I tried restarting, keeping battery out for sometime, nothing happens.
What should i do?
Facing this problem first time in 5 months after updating to Jelly bean/

I have tried both the things already.
friendly bump
I have same problem as you have, like it took me sometime to finally figure it out. Try resetting your router. You see this small hole at the back of the router, hold & press it for about 20-30 seconds. Your router will now be restored to its factory settings, then connect your S3 & voila! your device is good to go.
I had the same problem at home once, I tried everything from wiping caches to reinstalling my rom. Turned out it was my router so yeah the guys above are probably correct.

Did you ever try pressing the router hole for about 20-3- seconds? If it still didn't work, try manually input the your static IP. That worked too with me,
I don't have idea about static ip
And I've seen, while my screen is on. . WiFi remains connected and if I lock screen even for a second. .WiFi goes off

Hi, Had same issue with WiFi, was doing my head in.
Problem for me was bad update from the OTA update,
go into recovery and factory reset wipe data, and cache, if still no luck then
your best solution which worked for me was download the full Samsung Official Firmware Stock from samfirmware (Google it)
and use odin to redo the phone.
Hope you get sorted. :good:
Go somewhere else with available WiFi, try connecting, if you succeed with no following issues, it's your WiFi router, if you can't connect to any other available WiFi, it's your phone, reflash ROM and test.
Have you tried turning power save mode off. In the dialer dial *#0011# then press menu button then WiFi then where it says on, turn it off. Be aware that it goes back on after every reset of your phone.

Still the issue. I didnt reset the router as my wife's s3 does not have and also this is issue is happening to other routers as well. Please help...
same issue
i have the same issue. I just bought a new S3 four days ago. Wifi of that stopped working exactly after 1 day of the purchase. Same symptoms , it worked at my home for a day and stopped on 2nd day. After stop and restart of the wifi, it again started but then after one page being opened, it again stopped. Tried "forgetting" the wifi uid , it didn't work. Stopped the wifi power saving mode, no gain. The version is stock JB 4.1.1 (came preinstalled) . On the other router, it did work but I am sure(though haven't confirmed) that it woudl stop after a day too.
After this issue, I changed my handset from the seller(original Samsung retail shop) and now, after 2 days, it again stopped today working, on almost the same time again. The same router is used by two ipods, two laptops and one HTC One X and it's working fine. I am not sure what to say to the seller now as he simply won't agree to me but the issue is clearly there. Any help please!
I too am having this problem after updating to 4.1.2. It helps to turn off the wifi then turn it back on, and but I don't want to keep having to do this.

Sounds like an ip related issue.. Your phone remains connected to the local network but can't find it way to the Internet (dns), right? . Try setting a static ip or soft reset the router every time it happens (turn it off and then back on). Try even locating the router somewhere it doesn't get too hot. These work for me

Hi,
But this issue never came up in the ICS and with the other devices , it's working fine. Also, can you guide how to set the static IP for the GS3?
Thanks and regards
---------- Post added at 04:09 AM ---------- Previous post was at 03:31 AM ----------
Okay, did a little Google search and found how to put static IP. Gave it now but still, no joy. Ironically, yesterday , after doing a lot of search I found that I should enable "dynamic routing" on the router. I did that and internet started. Worked for the night and today morning , it stopped and now not working at all.
Any help please!
Even I have this problem on my S3 LTE version on Jelly Bean 4.1.1. Trying hard reset and changing settings on router or fixed ip on phone won't be of any help. I tried all these and the problem comes back within no time. So don't waste time. Send the unit for repair or replacement. Think of it this way, if there is a problem with your router or other routers, your other devices would also have a similar problem so suggest not to tinker with router settings. Problem is with the phone. Whether there is a problem with hardware and/or software, it's Samsung's headache to deal with. Planning to send the phone for repair shortly. Fed up with Samsung. Previously had a problem with bluetooth and screen on S2 and now Wifi. Irritating.

I picked up HTC One x+ yesterday . Its picks up my home WiFi network during initial setup but when enter my password to connect to the WiFi .
it says out of range. And when go through the whole setup process and go into WiFi settings . It doesn't show the Home wifi at all.
I thought it was a hardware issue so i did press the phone where they show to press in a lot of YouTube videos. But it doesn't make a difference.
I have done the Factory reset from the settings and also through recovery wiping cache and then factory reset.
But No Success . It picks up the WiFi initially but doesn't connect to it after the setup.
I have also tried installing custom ROM . ARHD but same problem.
Stock rom version is: 1.17.401.3
Any help or suggestions plz.
Sounds like a buggy device to me. I'd take it back.

Just to echo what carnage said. WIFI works great on my device. Maybe it's a fault on your device, but you can always try the usuall suspects. Do a factory reset, see if that solves it. You could also try turning your router off for a few minutes, 99% of my WIFI issues are solved by that... Lol

this problem is due to the change of wifi country code (i read in a post) when you will take out the sim and then do the factory reset, and then turn on the phone without sim, you will see the wifi is working absolutely fine. I also have the HOX+ but not able to find any solution till now, ppl have written different solutions, like you will find "Wifix" and other as well. my phone is have problem cz it is from europe. i do not know why this is a problem with your phone. if you find anysolution do let me know.
