Hi,
I had no problems so far, but my Router broke and I got a new one. From this day one my Samsung Galaxy S3 phone is having this annoying wlan disconnects.
I have lots of wireless devices (laptop, tablet, 3ds, lots of htc phones etc, kindle) non of this has issues with my new router.
But somehow my S3 keeps losing the connection. This usually happens after I left the building and come back.
I look for many solution but couldnt find one working.
I tried the always on during stand by (it was anyway always on)
I tried to change the 2,4 brandwith but somehow this option is not availibly on my phone
I tried the *#0011# something number (I forgot) to change the wlan sleep time, but this option is not availible on my phone.
My router is using a dhtc ip distrupition also is using the b g n, which seems to work with any other device. I heard i should switch to only b g. But this lower the speed by 3, i dont want to do this. If this is the problem is there no fix for the samsung phone?
Thanks
ps after reconnecting the internet works without problem is the disconnect during standby which is annoying

I did now a factory reset, it didnt work. I still have the same wlan problem. And now I have to press like 3x connect until it connects to the wlan network...
The problem is solved with the patch released in January.
This big updated fixed all problems.

Hello everyone
okay, i've been with a really anoying problem since the 2.3.x updates on android (Samsung Galaxy Gio in my case). The problem is that everytime I try to connect to the network, I stay some seconds with good connection and suddently the router just rebots himself. Tryed already changing some router settings (by the way my router is an Zyxel P-660W-Tx v3), setting the phone to factory, deleting apps and I always get the same result. I tryed to contact the Zyxel company but with no sucess until now. I know there's gotta be another fix than just have to buy a new router so it would be great if someone could help me out. Because this thing is freaking me out already.
Cumpliments,
Deviantor.
Any input on this isue will be helpful. I'm on sprint new OTA 4.0.4 sense 4.1..the issue was going on before and after the update meaning i got NO FIX with the update.
If the vid stops during play back just refresh the page.
Thanks in advance.

I was told by HTC that is issue was fixed. So when I was still having the Wifi disconnecting and reconnecting I contacted HTC again. After all the standard Troubleshooting tips (like Soft reset and Power Off) I was told to do a Factory reset. I ended up doing it and it has fixed my problem. My WiFi connection has stayed strong since. Also I installed an app called "Hidden Settings" by Derek R Reynolds (Free in the play store) this app was made for the HTC One series phones. In that menu there is an option "Put Data connection to Sleep" which turns data connection off while the screen is off. this is checked by default so uncheck that option. I've included a screenshot of that menu. Also after Factory resetting my phone on the newest OTA my phone has been running a lot better (smoother and faster). I know it's a hassle, but it might help you out.
My phone is Stock and UnRooted
thanks for the info...i guess thats all thats left...i was considering exchanging it...but i think i'll try the hard reset...

You might have a bad phone then.
its very odd that the phone can connect to my neighbors router...but not mine...i would think if the wifi antenna was bad it wouldnt connect to any wifi at all....SMH..i guess i'll take it in to the sprint store.
Maybe it's your router
"We're coming from a pure power source"
What kind of security does your router use? I changed mine to WEP and it fixed everything. I had random disconnects at my house only.

im using a standard issue comcast router(according to them, their best and most current router)..im using wpa/wpa2 psk tkip...however as i stated in the vid my toshiba tab(ICS) and my GS3 both connect with no problems..i can see my LTEvo's mac address in my routers wifi settongs under "offline computers"...my router has no issues with my laptop and airrave(both ethernet)or the above mentioned wifi connected devices...just the evo..i have changed the channels and dropped all security and made it an open network..still nothing..but the evo can connect to my neighbors network(but no internet access)...head shaker
maybe your router is trying to issue an ip address that is already in use by another device. Go in to the wireless settings/advanced and try to set the ip manually. See if that helps
For Some reason my router will assign xxx.xxx.xxx.22 to my phone and I have it set to automatically get an IP from the router. I don't have that many devices in my house on wireless so I don't know why it picked that number, but it is always that number. I also get a similar IP address at a buddies house with it ending in .22. Might be an HTC thing.
na i don't think its an "ip conflict"...its the way the phone is "seeing" the network..hence the drops according to wifi analyzer..the wifi network drops when the phone isnt even trying to connect...
Ok, so here's the deal.. I have a DLink DIR-300 router... Ever since I moved to ICS (stock and rooted) on my Galaxy S2, I always have some difficulty to connect my phone to the router...
I get "authentication error" or simply try to connect but then stops trying.
There are only 2 ways to fix this:
1-) Forget the network and turn WiFi off during some minutes.... Then turn it on again and reenter password
2-) Reboot my router
This only happens with this router (which of course drives you to think that's the source of the problem) but the weird thing is that my two brothers also have a Galaxy S2 and have no problems (using different roms)
Any idea of what might be happening or how to solve this once and for all? Additional data of my phone:

Make a nandroid backup of your current setup & try one of the roms your brothers are using & see if it fixes the problem. Could be an issue with the WiFi drivers in the particular stock rom you're using not playing nice with the router.
If it's OK for you using one of those roms but you really want to stay on stock, keep trying stock roms until you find one that doesn't have the problem.
They're the things I'd try if I were facing that problem. A router firmware upgrade might help as well, but given only one phone out of three is having problems, I'd try the above first.
Could it be that one of your brothers blocked you on the router?
There may be a limited set on how many wireless connections your router may be set with and yours has just went over the limit.
You could try using a manual IP, Gateway & DNS rather than DHCP settings that the router would give you.
Hey Guys.
Recently my WiFi symbol in the notification tray turned grey and didn't go blue again.
I've noticed that when the symbol is GREY, I'm not able to access Facebook (through it's main App),it shows "Updating" only.
But to my surprise, the net works fine in the Browser ( inbuilt browser)
After analyzing the problem, I found that whenever I turned my Laptop on, the WiFi signal goes Grey..
And when I switch it off, it turns blue.
On further investigation, I came to know that both the devices (laptop and phone) have different IP's
Plus, another android device works well with the laptop being on.
I'm using Xolo Q600
Android 4.2.1
*no root, nothing...I'm amateur*
WiFi Router NetGear N150
Any help will be thankful.
Lakshya.
Have you tried reseting your modem? or forgetting the wifi net with both devices and set up the connection again?
Hope this helps

S3 wifi not working
(repost this to this section, adviced from xda assist)
I just purchased second-handed Samsung Galaxy SIII GT-I9300 (international ver) to replace my old Samsung Galaxy Mini (GT-S5770). I purchased this cuz the price tag on one of local stores is just too tempting me to buy one, plus, giving me free true leather phone case! (though my target was Acer Liquid Z410, but not available on local stores and i dont know how to buy online as well)
The phone conditions, well, do have some minor scratches at the sides but the previous owner was middle-age man, and im not so picky with that detail.
The phone is great, well, except, the WiFi isnt in good condition in normal uses. (means, i can still uses them. details in below)
The S3 properties,
Android 4.3
International ver, GT-I9300
16 GB ver (which i found out some cases with unbootable S3, with 16GB ver only)
unroot
all related to network setting (includes mobile network, Bluetooth network, WiFi) is in default
The problem is, the WiFi.
The phone does detects WiFi hotspots or access points from far (in fact, it can detect my neighbour's home wifi even though is quite far, well, maybe around 20-30m, well, the signal was weak though).
SInce my home wifi is hidden, i pre-set the wifi. but, it wont even connect or even detect my wifi. My Internet TV with WiFI Direct do detected though (no internet connection since it wont host internet to devices who connect to the TV)
But, when i place my S3 like below 700cm range, my S3 detects my wifi and connects like normal devices. But when it get like further than 1m, the WiFi does not receives any data at all and after a while, the WiFi disconnected.
After i bought this phone, i hard factory reset my S3 (before reset, i didnt test WiFi and also from my uncle's advice cuz my phone seems a bit slow, well, he used to have S3). I didnt had a chance to test WiFi until i got home and tried to connect my WiFi.
I've tried many method i found online, (again, the WiFi only works if i put my S3 side by side with the access point/s)
Reboot router (I always reboot them cuz the router sometimes bugging) = not working.
Forget the network in S3 and preset. = not working
Tied with static IP address (connecting to my hidden network)(with google DNS) = not working
Enabled unhidden, open wifi profile on my router, try connect. = not working)
Connect to my TV's WIFi with WPA security = not working (tried to connect but just fails)
Tried *#0011#, Wifi, turn off power saving = not working
Things i havent tried,
reset again the S3
revert to factory firmware (actually, i tried but Kies 3 just wont work at all... it said that the device cannto be initiated or similar... so, the S3 didnt do anything)
using Odin to revert to stock factory rom
using Odin to update to unofficial kitkat rom
before im going to use Odin, which i dont ever done before, do you think that reset this phone to factory setting will fix this problem?
Try changing your router's channel.

if you mean router channel, the N radio, G radio and B radio,
sorry,
mine only supports G. (or maybe B and G. but for sure, no N)(dont forget that i did tried with my tv as well, since my tv has wifi direct but also be connected with usual wpa security. by the way, im pretty sure the tv radio channel supports b, g and n, and usually, they uses N channel for devices that supports N channel).
if thats not the case, then what do you mean?
