Hi,
Lately, my Wi-Fi gets stuck all the time when i'm out.
When my phone lays at my desk, nothing happens. It runs as usual (long battery life, good wi-fi signal etc.)
When i travel it gets stuck showing either no networks or being still "connected" to my home network, even when i'm more than a mile away from home. Obviously, the internet does not work then.
The only solution is to turn wi-fi off and on again and then I can connect.
The firmware is up to date and restoring factory settings does not help.
BTW, the Dutch brand Wolfgang does not do any software updates to my Phone.
I have attached a logcat txt taken with the phone in the state where it can not find any network, it shows errors coming from wpa_supplicant showing "failed to initiate ap scan" and "device or resource busy".
Is this a hardware or a software issue and what can I do to get it fixed?
Thank you very much for your help and support,
Arjan Vlek
The Netherlands
EDIT: Phone sent back to manufacturer for repairs. Let's hope they'll fix it ASAP.

Hi folks, can anyone please help me with this problem?
My brother in law has asked me to look at his S740. He has tried several o2 SIM cards (UK) in this phone but always gets told there is no signal.
Not only that, but there is a symbol where the strength meter should be that isn't documented in the user guide.
He has also tried my o2 (3G) sim and a Vodafone sim, both UK.
Any advice gratefully recieved. We have tried several hard resets also.
Thanks
This means it's looking for signal. My guess: Still SIM-locked?

Not sure if it's SIM locked as there is a menu to select which carrier to use.
It reads the SIM correctly and sets it all up for o2, but just doesnt get any signal.
Does anyone know where the GSM antenna is on these? Maybe its a bad connection.
UPDATE:
I've had a mail back from HTC that recommends I send it in for repair, lol.
Now do I take it they are robbing buggers or do I take it that the icon is an indicator of a hardware fault??
Hmmmm, dilemma. lol
Are there any more suggestions on what it may be?
Has anyone successfully taken one of these apart?
it may be because of a hardware error...try to connect to a wifi network...if it impossible to find a wifi network then it is due to a harware problem.Most likely because the FR coaxial cable is out of its possision...download the service manual and see how to fix it.

Hi sasiskas, it conects fine to my wireless network at home. I take it from your response that the cable serves a double purpose.
I downloaded the service manual so I could take a look, but only got as far as removing the 4 screws at the back. lol, I couldn't figure out how to get it off, lol
I'm still stuck at the assumption that it is indeed SIM locked, and so will try to find a suitable card to try out.

Try contacting with your phone's provider (shop,e-bay seller whoever it is) and ask him details about the sim.Good luck.

Thanks. I have tried the same but just keep getting a vender ID, (lol spelling), error.
I would appreciate any input whether you have success or not, it just may spark an idea off.
I cant get in touch with any sales or provider as it was gifted to my bro in law. He's not that bothered about it but would like to have it working if he can.
Thanks folks.
Hey! I think I know the solution to your problem...I had exactly the same problem when I hardReseted my phone.
Go to "Start-settings-Phone-Band Select"
and then select
1.Network type : Auto
2.Band Type : "Euro" if you live in Europe, "US" if you live in USA , or "Japan" if you live in Japan.
Good luck...Let us know if it worked!

Yes that is a good suggestion because the phone will display that icon if it can't find a *usable* network, be it that the SIM doesn't allow it or if the bands don't match the selection on the phone or the bands are not usable by the phone hardware etc.
I would suggest downloading & running HTC Field Test (fieldtest.exe) with & without a SIM installed, with each network & band setting & see if it shows any towers or signal. (Normally you want Auto for both but you may not have that option or you might prefer to set to a KNOWN working band to conserve battery & minimize searching) If should show something even without SIM or with SIM lock because it's supposed to support emergency calls either way. If it shows signals with SIM but you still have same no service icon then it's likely SIM locked (although the phone should alert you to that fact) so odds are the phone hardware, rom or settings do not support whatever signals are available to you. (Btw if field test shows N/A for all the values you need to app unlock your phone)
Hope that helps.
Bill
can you share a link with HTC Field Test?Thnx
Search is your friend.

Hey all I'm having a very similar problem.
Had my HTC for some months now but in the past few days I've found that my network signal is becoming very unpredictable.
I'm also on O2 and I used to have a pretty contstant H (I presume HSDPA) connection.
Howeever im finding now the phone with go from H to 3G to GPRS to E to no signal in the course of 5 mines and round and round again!
Its very annoying as it means I cant make / received calls or texts fluently and even cut me off on a phone call too.
However usually on phone calls it will keep me connected ok till I hang up and then go to no signal.
I've checked the wireless and it is picking up networks..
Any other suggestions? I will try the field test tomorrow...
PS I know its not the network as my work blackberry is O2 and is not having this issue..
Cheers in advance!
Well, just to close my input on this thread.
I tried various ROM's available from this site and none worked.
I did try the band selection settings but still a no go.
I did have limited success but overall, nothing. The phone has now gone back to the person who asked me to look into it and to my knowledge he is going to sell it to one of these phone reclaim companies.
I did check and one place, I think through the post office, is offering £80 ish so not bad I suppose.
Anyway, thank you to all who have made suggestions and wotnot. Personally I'm still happy with an old Nokia 6300 and my Wizard (Mini-S)
Thanks folks.
Hi,
I've had my SGS2 now for around 2 months and thought it maybe be a firmware bug, but have recently upgraded to the latest via Kies which is KE4 and still notice from time to time that the my 3G just wont work.
If I try and access anything via 3G for example webpages you just get page cannot be found, but strangely enough what I have noticed the is H symbol will have a Green UP arrow active but nothing ever happens. In order for me to fix it I have to disable 3G via apndriod and then turn it back on again, as soon as this is done the 3G works as normal. Does anyone know of a fix for this?
I'm on the O2 network if that helps but I think its more than likely a bug with the firmware/phone.
Cheers in advance.

I've noticed it happen once or twice... but I just hold the power button, and then de-activate and then re-activate the connection from the popup menu. Sometimes when it has hung it can take a fair while to kill it after de-activating as well. But its literally only happened 2 or 3 times in the whole time I've had it; I've had catastrophic battery drainage more often which is a lot more annoying.
I've had the same issues on my phone aswell. I just got mine back from the repair shop and the problem still remains. The guys on the repairshop said it worked fine when they had it, but now its the same again. I dont know if it is my network operator who has problems with my phone staying online or what it is. But its damn annoying, I to have to disable / re-enable the 3G connection for it to start to work again.
I've yet to find a fix for this.. I'm on a network called OneCall, in Norway.
Any tips would be great
I had the same problem when I disabled fast dormancy.
Hello. Since about a week ago, I have this problem PERSISTENTLY. My phone is 3 months' old, I bought it new and unbranded from a store in town, and never rooted it. Only thing I did was upgrading the firmware through kies to the latest version available in my contry (KE7 if I'm not wrong). I have adroid version 2.3.3.
Well, I have found no solution to this problem that is absolutely unbearable.
I shall get rid of this phone as soon as I can because I am really annoyed by discovering problems after problems. I never had any iPhone, but I will try buying the iPhone 5 when it comes out. Hopefully it will work better. After all, it can't be so difficult to make a phone better than this one!
By the way:
I have 2 contracts with vodafone, one on this phone and.the other on a Nokia n95 8GB. Tried swapping the sim cards. Reault is that after the swap on the nokia there still are no problems whereas the SGS2 is still hanging on 3G and H.
So it isn't a problem of the operator, neither it is a problem of sim cards (also because they are different, one is 32k and the other is newer, and 128k).
Now, before throwing this absolute crap of a phone out of the window, I'd like to try a factory reset. But the question is: will I have to reinstall feom scatch every single app, after the reset? Is there a way to back up allbthe installed apps and easily reinstall them, without rooting the phone? I absolutely don't want to root the phone because I'm pretty sure I will end up selling it and so I don't want to loose the warranty.

Factory reset will mean you lost all data, everything on the phone that you dont backup.
But that might not fix it, your best bet is to try a newer modem, as its more a modem issue not a rom issue.
Thank you, veyka.
I just seem to habe found the solution! I disabled fast dormancy by dialing *#9900# (there's a hidden menu).
So far it's working great! It appears that my mobile network is not optimised for that protocol, therefore it must be disabled im.order to get proper internet connection.
So... anybody with this problem, try dialing *#9900# and tapping on "Disable fast dormancy" it is a fully reversible action (just in ca se...). Im fact, it cam be re-enabled at any time from the same hidde menu.
POST NOTE: No. This doesn't work. I spoke too soon...

This problem has been around for a while and I read somewhere that Samsung said they were working on a fix for it. I have had the problem from day 1 and it still does occur with Fast Dormancy disabled. I don't know if some of the newer Firmwares have fixed this or not. I am running official UK KF3 Firmware.
In fact, the fast dormancy trick worked only foe a short time. Now I'm back on wifi. What a disaster of a phone.
I talked to my network operator last night. They told me to go to settings->wireless and network->Mobile networks->Network operators and set it to manual, instead of automatic.
After this it seems like the problem wanished, but it might be just for now. Will test for a few days and come back to this!
Hey this is certainly a good suggestion! Maybe when signal is poor the phone starts searching for other networks and drops the connection. Good point indeed. I will make some trials as well.
Cheers
I have an unlocked unrooted S3 on Vodafone UK. This issue has been happening for the last few days whereby i have full 3G/H+ connection, but absolutely no data is working. No email, no websites loading, no whatsapp, nothing. The issue goes away as soon as I restart my phone, but then it comes back after a few hours.
Has anyone experienced this, and if so, how have you fixed it?
Go back to your network/phone provider .
Or flash different modem .
jje
I am having this issue too. I may be wrong, but i realise this happens if i turn off my Wifi, the 3G will not want to connect to the 3G network.. Anyone else having such problem?
By the way mine is International version (Location: Singapore)
I'm having a similar problem where I have a good 3G/H/H+ connection but data seems to drop intermittently across all applications - I get the same sort of error message in browsers/facebook/twitter that you receive when you have no signal.
Anyone have anything similar and know of any fix?
I am not having such issue so far. I been updating my SGS3 using over-the-air update. I guess the MODEM has been updated as well.
Go to market and download "fast dormancy"(by gorkhanmoral) then disable it and reboot.
Check if your speed has improved,if it got worse then enable it again.
U need ROOT to use this tool.
I it didn't help, then flash a different modem
This is good modem
Cwm flashable

have you got any battery saving app like juice defender installed in your phone?
Is mobile data working at all? or is it constantly "uploading" but never "downloading" (up arrow lights but not down).
If what I just described is your issue then this is a network issue relating to android in general.
Basically your phone will be connected to two radio towers and gets confused as to which one it should use, rebooting or flight mode may help force it onto one tower or you may have to speak to your carriers "high network technical team" or whatever they are called for you to get them to force it onto one tower.
I had this issue on the HTC hero (a long time ago now) and it took 9 months for Orange UK to work out what was going on.

Congrats. Orange Luxembourg (my gf's network provider) still hasn't got a clue.. But they seem rather clueless about everything except writing invoices.
Flashing an Asian modem on her S2 made the issue far less prominent since they seem not to get confused by antenna ping-pong. (Tango Luxembourg, my carrier, has this issue too in the main city)
Hello. Let me start saying that I live in Greece and I own a coffee shop.
I my self have an S3 and I bought a 2nd one to use it as Point Of Sale PDA device to take orders from customer and sending them via WiFi to a stand alone Ethernet thermic printer.
Problem #1
Both of my S3 see the WiFi router I have for the printer but my phone connects, and the new one I got get's stuck at authenticating .. OR at Obtaining IP and in the end never connects.
After trying factory resetting it still didn't work. After trying making the router static, it connected but for some reason it was like a fake connection cause it didn't communicate even when it was connected.
Solution #1
I found that after entering the *#0011# and turning off the WiFi power save mode, fixed the problem.
Problem #2
My S3 PDA POS needs it buttery replaced every 10 hours or so. Means I need to reboot my device. Means I have to do the *#0011# every single time to make it work and I don't intend to baby sit my personnel every time they need to replace the battery.
HOW can I make the WiFi power save mode permanent?
Can some1 explain to me why the heck is the S3 connects ONLY when the WiFi power save mode is off?
So either we get a solution to the WiFi connection or make the Power Save mode permanent.
Looking forward to your help and really appreciate it!!!
Hello all, I'm hoping someone can shed a little light on an "interesting" problem I'm having with my new phone. This may be my first post on here, but I have scoured this and other forums trying to come up with an answer but alas have found nothing, so here goes:
I am currently using Simple Mobile which operates on T Mobile's network. I have near-perfect signal at home but can't seem to use the damned thing for Facebook, Tapatalk, Zynga games, internet, etc without my interent connection timing out on me. I recently switched from Comcast to Dish Network and no longer have wifi at home so this is killing me.
This phone screams on wifi, and it seemingly works fine everywhere else via my data connection except at home. I normally show an H or an E at home. From what I understand T Mobile is replacing all of its edge circuits with HSPA+, so I'm thinking they just haven't got around to upgrading the tower closest to my house as of yet. I decided to get my girlfriend prepaid service on T Mobile with that $30 per month 5GB plan through Walmart and slapped the sim in my old Motorola Defy and it works great. However, if I put that same sim in my phone I'm back to square one with the same data connection problems, so I know this is not a problem with Simple Mobile (plus like I said as long as I am not at home my phone works well, too.).
So here's the real kicker -- if I use the PDANet+ app on my phone and turn on the wifi hotspot, it works just fine when I connect using my home desktop computer! This is so aggravating, why would I time out with my data connection for my own phone but as a hotspot it work flawlessly??? I'm pretty close to giving up on T Mobile because what good are they if I can't get a data connection on the phone itself at home?
Also I should mention that all of the APN settings are definitely correct. Perhaps there is a baseband selection that I can't find somewhere in the Blu Studio 5.0 d530 that may help (I know there's one in the Motorola Defy). Maybe it's because T Mobile recognizes that my phone is not a T Mobile branded phone (but the Defy IS), and if so, how can they push the whole "bring your own phone" thing so hard?
In any event, I may try just switching to Straight Talk but I really don't want to go through the hassle of porting my number and all that -- plus I'm not sure how good their signal is in my area. A search online for closest cell towers to my address results in T Mobile by a longshot.
Any help is appreciated, guys -- I'm frustrated to no end here.

Use Google Translate, if needed. Basically it just says that is the stock 4.1.2 rom with no carrier bloat.
