Hello, all.
I seem to have a tricky one. Two days ago, I decided to give CM12 a try on my OG Moto X dev edition. Turns out I couldn't forgo Xposed, so I reverted to my nandroid backup. The install of CM12 was preceded by a wipe of data and system and an install of CM11, followed by a dirty flash of CM12, as per the rom instructions. Both CM12 and reverting to Kitkat went well, with no noticeable hiccups.
When I booted to CM12, I noticed my weather app referencing a location in Colorado. I live in Arizona, so that's quite a bit of error, but I didn't pay additional attention to it at the time. After I got back to Kitkat, I realized it was still giving me an incorrect location. After some further investigation, I determined my Net location was very off, but my device GPS was spot on. I have a VZW network extender at my house (acts like a mini cell tower and routes calls over the home broadband) so I suspected it was giving out the wrong location. While it was powered down, I was getting a correct Net location, but once it powered back up, I was back to the precise same wrong location. I have tried rebooting the extender, router, cable modem, and phone. I have also cleared the cache and dalvik cache on the phone.
To further complicate things, this is not consistent. My dad has a Note 3 which, when connected to the extender, has correct net and gps location. Phones expected to be connect the extender were confirmed by dialing #48.
Is there something I'm missing here? I been a fair flash-ohalic on previous phones, but far less on this one, but I've never seen something like this before. Thanks ahead for any help.
I have since reverted to full stock 4.4.4 via fast boot recovery files. I tried that pure, as well as Eclipse ROM (4.4.4). Both still exhibit the location error. I also cleared my location history from Google. Sigh...

I've searched everywhere and have been working on this problem all night. I unlocked the Bootloader and Rooted the phone about a month ago and uninstalled bloatware. Haven't had any issues with the new Android marketplace updates or when it's updated apps on my phone. However, over the past 3 weeks, my 3G connection kept dropping off in the Marketplace and on different apps. It shows up as full bars but they're grayed out. They only turn blue when I connect via WiFi (At least I won't go over my data plan!) This sucks because I've been missing important e-mails because G-mail and other apps will only sync when I'm connected to wireless network.
I've cleared the Dalvik cache, went through and rolled back the Android Market place to the stock version. I also restored my APN settings but I'm at a complete loss since none of these things worked.
I haven't posted much because I'd prefer to read and search for the problem online but I'm coming up short here. Should I return it back to AT&T or is there something else I'm missing?
*EDIT: I also realized that I'm having issues with the Bluetooth connection, the GPS connection recently since the upgrade. Finally, I have not had the fingerprint scanner working since before I've rooted and unlocked the BL.
I bought a Samsung Galaxy S III while on vacation. I didn't really want a US model, since I already had a Galaxy S II and the only compelling reason I would upgrade was for the quad core Exynos.
Well here I am back States-side, and it's been working fine for a week or two. Last night I suddenly lost the ability to connect to WiFi networks.
Basically I can search for a connection, it will show up and say it's "Saved," but it will not connect, even if I manually choose the option. If I choose "Forget" and reconnect, it will connect briefly for a few seconds and promptly disconnect again.
I've tried the usual steps of rebooting, checking my network, etc. I've gone as far as reflashing the firmware which doesn't seem to fix my issue.
I have several other devices and none of those have issues connecting to my wireless network. I've tried a couple different AP products, including an Apple Airport Extreme, a Linksys WRT-600N, and a bunch of really old APs with a different chipset manufacturers, none which seem to work.
For OS, it's currently on Android 4.0.4 with the stock Samsung TouchWiz interface, no carrier customization.
Since returning/warranty for this device is out of the question, I am looking for a possible solution to my issue. I am not a big Android user. I used to be big on Symbian, and now I'm mainly an iPhone user. I have an Android phone to keep up with the times, so to speak. Is it possible I'm missing something? Could I have changed a setting that would cause my wireless issues?
Thanks!
(Tried searching this topic, didn't turn anything up)
I'm having the same problem too. Everything connects except for the S3. If I reboot the router it works for a day or so then the problem re occurs.
If you get disconnected meaning there's interference in the frequency range, you could change the channel so it doesn't overlap with your neighbors' or your other APs, remember any AP operating on the same channel or nearby channels in range is likely to cause signal to interfere with another AP's wifi signal.

I had similar problem. A factory reset fixed it.

I tried another factory reset and I'm still experiencing this issue. I'm a bit bummed out at the moment. I can't connect to other networks either. At least I have cellular data to work with for the time being, but I expect I'll get throttled sooner or later.

I don't think it's an interference issue.
Like I said, none of the other devices have connectivity issues. I haven't really changed my wireless setup for the last 10 years. Always the same channels (with difference channels for each overlapping AP—channels 1, 6, and 11). My cordless phones all use DECT which runs on 1.9GHz and I usually have Bluetooth off when at home. As for neighbors, the distance between our homes are far enough I am never really in range of their networks.
If enabled, turn off power saving
same problem as yours. i've replaced the kernel and still testing.
I have this problem, i think it's hardware problem, just updated the f/w hasn't made it better.
Try adding your wifi manually and select correct security protocol....it resolved an issue like this on my iphone4s.

it doesn't work for the SGS3, it's a known problem, i've checked a few sgs3 and some have this problem including mine, i'm changing my unit tmr.
Has there been any temp fix for this? I've been noticing this a lot more when using WhatsApp, usually you can see the last time your contact has been on, but it only shows if there is a current connection to the internet. When I'm connected to the wireless, it'll show up but after a while, I assume the wireless loses connectivity (sort of) and it won't show the last time they were on. The thing is though, I'm able to get to any pages like normal, so it doesn't actually lose connection.
Why don't you flash a better rom~~
S3 wlan bug

Hello all together
I need flash PA v2.1 on my SGS 3 !
I have problems with the Galaxy S3 and WLAN simply gets no connection together!
I've already tried all possible steps like Stockrom flash with Odin to the bootloader from the Android 4.0.4 to get! Because it means that even if wifi is broken, you should flash back to flash and then stockrom Paranoid! Wifi can not connect!
I count times on what I've already done everything without success:
ICS 4.0.4 STOCK
wipe data
wipe chache
wipe Dalvik
Permission fix
Flash paranoidandroid
flash gapps jb
flash hw compressor
Wlan ist broken
Then I created a backup of it.
Have again flashed back to stock 4.0.4 ics because I had suspected at the bootloader.
Ics 4.0.4 on it again as everything was wiped and the backup recorded. Again the bow
Then cm 9 installed as described
there is also the wlan bug
from CM9 paranoidandroid
still wifi bug
then back to stock and on CM10
end result
wlan goes
paranoid then flashed wireless bug
then of stock on CM9 on from there and CM10 on paranoidandroid wlanbug
from CM10 by backup still wifi bug.

OK not sure where to put this thread but I have been experiencing Play Store download problems for a while (few weeks).
I have a thread on this, now after all the wipes trying different custom rom's.
I've wiped data, cache, stopped Google Play Services, Google Play Store, and somewhere I read to wipe data, cache, and force stop Google Services Framework as well.
Now it did nothing to address my errors (927, 923, and so on).
So I've run the course of searching and trying.
A few days ago I started to realize that towards the bottom of my screens I would see "Connected to wifi (my network SID)" without me moving from my seat.
I have noticed this for a few weeks but finally realized that is was every minute - 30 seconds.
SInce I just had my telecom company down to change my circuit from a standard DSL to a bonded DSL (2 pair bonded 1 download, 1 upload).
I am starting to wonder if for some unknown reason my device cant lock onto my network.
Now I want to say that the only problem I am having this type of problem with is just this S4.
My iMAC, Macbook Pro, Win8 PC, iPAD, iPhone (wife's) don't seem to have any issue so Im not sure if the S4 wifi radio has an issue or if there is something about a bonded pair???
When I get a the download errors I turn off wifi and download via carrier data and it downloads.
Now I want to clarify that at times I am able to download via wifi but it seems like a timing thing if I hit it right it works if not then I cant.
Any ideas???
Thanks

This definitely sounds like a network issue. The obvious thing to do is connect to different network to see if the problem persists. If so then at the very least you know it's an issue with the handset and not your new bonded pair.
If its the device and since I rooted it can I unroot and restore?
If so how, what process, where do I get the process?
There are so many restore and from what I read the bootloader can never go back to stock.
And there is no full out of box, back to stock option, haveI misunderstood this?
Thanks
Have you looked in the Q&A section (where this thread should probably be)?
There was at least one thread there a while back talking about WiFi issues. For one, DLink as already issues a firmware update for some routers to address the problem.

Thanks you for your reply.
I did notice the DLink posting, but my device is a ZyXEL bonded 4 port gateway, that takes 2 DSL input circuits.
I have no possible way to replace the modem / router since it was installed by the ISP for this special bonded pair.
This is not the norm in respect to installing a bonded pair, but because of my distance from the office they used this to pump up my bandwidth.
Thanks

Well since I posted I have tried a app called wifi fixer.
I noticed that it constantly (once a minute) it flips form Passed to Completed.
Not sure why what or what to do to address my problem but I think this is why Im having issues with the Play Store.
Anyone know what I can do try anything?
Thanks
Hi everybody, I am quite frustrated at the moment, since my S2 has driven me up the wall all day long. To cut a long story short, for some reason my mobile data is unusable. For some reason, yesterday I flashed a modem (...KS3 or somethng, i had already used that file previously, and worked), and after rebooting mobile data was gone. Then I don't recall what I did to troubleshoot the issue, but I came across these results:
1 - Managed to get the H+ icon back, but no internet, I could see from the arrows on the icon that it tried to connect but couldn't.
2 - Tried to switch between APNs, but with no success. On PAC rom an apn got the state 1, but still no internet.
3 - Tired with dirty flashing and no success, I decided to start over and do a full wipe and flash of CM11 official and on first boot, still no internet.
Right now it's sitting there, with no icon next to the bars, and i can't make any calls nor send SMSes. What do you advise me to do? I flashed a modem when I was on CM11, right before bosting this and still no luck.
Please give me a hand, I am starting to grow a bit desperate, thinking of an hardware issue. Never did this before, if this can help
EDIT: It is now in state 1, the icon H+ is is there, but i can't access the Internet...
Hey everyone,
I did a clean flash of OOS 2.2.1 a week ago. Now every time I go out or disconnect from WiFi, the LTE triangle always shows an "!" and I have no data. It's kind of a pain because I move around a lot and I have to keep toggling data or rebooting.
Is anybody else having this issue? I tried flashing a new ROM (CM13) but the issue still persists. My APN settings are correct, so it's definitely not that.
I've actually experienced this too on CM13.
I was about to create a thread with just this issue. I thought I had experienced this before CM13 updates, but not sure now.
Basically, when wifi connection is off or lost, mobile data will not work.
I have yet to actually work out the permutations of what causes the issue and the actual fix but essentially it goes like this:
Apply new ROM with clean, 'by the book' install.
Wifi works fine.
Disconnect wifi and mobile data doesn't work.
Check settings, all appears OK, but click data off and on again etc
Reboot
Wifi and mobile data work as expected.
Now that's at my home!
Leave house and mobile data doesn't work.
Check settings, all still appears OK, again, switch off/on etc
Reboot
Wifi and mobile data work again fine.
I have not conducted a proper scientific analysis of this, but I am wondering whether it's to do with changing radio towers. Once configured phone is good until new radio tower encountered.
I have just installed a new ROM and fixed the mobile data issue at home. All seems great.
Next time I go out I will see whether I lose mobile data if the radio tower changes.
I have tried about 6 different ROMs and all suffer the same issue.
I have become so frustrated with it that I am even considering changing my phone.
Okay so I fixed it but I'm not sure what initially caused it. When I clean flashed from 2.2.0.X to 2.2.1 via TWRP I started getting the issue.
However, I got it to work by reverting back to 2.2.0.X then updating to 2.2.1 via OTA. No longer having issues with data. Though I haven't flashed any CM13 ROMs so I can't say those work properly.
Not sure what went wrong initially, but it must have something to do with the radio. Hopefully this helps everyone else who is having problems.
