I have a Note II with the latest firmware available. I have been having major wifi problems and roaming issues. My battery hardly lasts until 3pm and wifi just kinda dies on me. Mobile data runs slower than it used to and I don't get on 4G as much as I used to. This all seemed to start when I received the KitKat update. Is there a root fix for this issue or should I get a new phone?
Note: I have tried factory resetting and only installing most used apps.
Any help would be appreciated.

Ok so I've had the Galaxy s2 for a month now and everything's been just peachy up until 3 days ago when i noticed the wifi doesn't work as it should.
The Problem: my wifi connects and shows a strong signal but there is no data coming through. all my other devices on the same wifi network are A-OK its just my phone that gives me the finger. When i switch wifi off and kill all background tasks then reconnect it works again for like a minute if i'm lucky. 3g works fine.
I'm running the gingerbread 2.3.3 XWKE7 that i bought the phone with. is this a known problem? if so how do i fix it without going through my useless service provider (Vodacom - another way of saying "Pig S#!t!")
Please help. Thanks.
Check for firmware update first as that is very old KE7.

It happened to me once but when I restarted, things became alright.
Thanks
I tried turning it off and on again, took the battery out too and still no joy.
I reckon firmware is the way to go, theres no updates on kies yet though so i'm thinking of flashing to lite'ning ROM. And its definately not hardware cos i've been wifi tethering from the phone for a while now with no issues. I'll try a factory reset first though and post what happens.
Ok so here's my findings: I Flashed to Litening ROM v6, the phone is a lot quicker but, wifi is still stuffed for some reason. I can wifi tether and it works perfectly but I still can't make use of a wifi network, it still connects but doesn't get any through-put. and as before 3G is working fine.
Any other suggestions?
Thanks
Hi,
I'm new to the forum so apologise in advance if this is a stupid question.
I recently bought a Sim Free S3. I haven't rooted it as i'm quite happy with the stock os for now. Everything had been working very smoothly on it. But since getting the over the air update for it my data signal randomly drops out or freezes. It seems to do it over WiFi too. It does this even though it shows a wifi connection or with the H+ visible. I've also noticed it cycle through H+ to 3G and back again.
Sometimes the signal works again on it's own and other times i have to switch the phone off and on aain.
I find it happens on tweakdeck the most but has also happened whilst browsing the net.
Do you think this could be linked to the update or could this just be a coincidence and there's an underlying hardware fault.
Let the new update run for a little bit...let it settle in
It might just be the spot u in and I doubt its the phone
Might be uodate but how long u been on the update?
Sent from my SAMSUNG-SGH-I717 using xda premium
Think the update came through on Tuesday.
Will give it a few more days to settle and see how it goes.
Thanks.
Still having an issue with this.
My internet worked all weekend then today started to fail on me again today.
The phone shows a HSPA connection but will not download any data.
I know it's not the network as my wife is on the same network and is having no issues.
Any help will be greatly appreciated.
Same problem
I am having the same problem here. I just bought SGS3 about 3 days ago and I started noticing data drop out yesterday. I wish someone could help me. I was hoping the problem to be solved by the time we get firmware update.
BTW, I am also having problem using usb tethering or wifi hotspot. After using usb tethering for about 10 minutes, it stops connecting although the phone still has data connection.
Is it hardware or software problem???
Thanks!!!
having the same issue after power saving goes on i lose h+ until god knows when
I've not seen this posted anywhere in the i717 part of the forms, and felt like it should be OK to post this.
Ever since I got my Galaxy Note from Rogers, I keep getting sporadic data connectivity issues. LTE data will work great, but if I set my phone down (such as when I am at work) and don't touch it for several hours, by the time I return the phone has no data connection.
However the status bar shows that I have full bars connected to LTE, yet when I open a browser or try to use the Play Store, it keeps saying I have no data connection.
This problem occurs on stock, and with custom roms, currently I am using the latest stable release of CM9 Quincyatt.
Has anyone else run into this problem (with Rogers or any other provider that offers LTE with the sgh-i717)? If so, is there anything I can do to mitigate this issue, currently the only fix I've is to simply reboot the phone. This seems to fix the problem, allowing me to access data until the next lengthy period of inactivity. Then of course after several hours of inactivity, when I go to use it again data will once again be dead (even though the phone reports I have a strong signal).
have you tried this Rogers rux lf4 modem? I've been having great results with the bell modem

Ah, I have not. Thanks for the tip!
I'll give this a go when I get home! Thanks!
Hey how's it going XDA. I recently "upgraded" my old SGS2 to my wife's LG OG. I used my upgrade and got her the SGS4 she's been wanting.
Anyway, She had this phone for less than a year but ever since we got it, we always had issues with the wifi never working. Sure it would be connected on the phone but there was never any connectivity longer than maybe a few minutes or even after a certain amount of data transfer.
Is this a known issue with this device? It is a stock LG OG aside from a factory reset to 4.1.2 and I did root and unlock the bootloader to install CWM Touch on it earlier today.
Do any of the custom roms fix the issue? I read a lot about the ATT Smart WiFi app but even with that disabled and so many other configs, the wifi on the device is very spotty.
Any help would be appreciated.
I had similar issue with the stock rom, wifi always disconnecting. I use PA 3.99 RC 2 now, wifi connection solid.
I was wondering about this because it is a huge pain the ass to remember Wi-Fi passwords all of the time.
I have a rooted S4 schI545 Build kkot49h.i545vrufnk1 android 4.4.2
I blocked the OTA few weeks ago and everything seemed fine.
Just recently I have been having issues connecting to internet via my data plan. Ihave unlimited Data and have rooted my phone to tether. Recently I have only been able to get 3g coverage at best and most of the time I have issues connecting to the internet.
I get an error in chrome. DNS_PROBE_FINISHED_NO_INTERNET I have to cycle the phone or cycle the wifi or airplane mode to get 3g back. My wifes phone get 4g just fine and she is not rooted.
When I am not getting internet and the 3g symbol is showing it will show packets going to Verizon with the little out arrow flashing but nothing coming back. Once I cycle the phone I will get arrows showing packets coming in and out. After the phone sleeps it will come back and I will not get internet some of the time.
I dont know if verizon blocks you if you are not running the newest OS. What could be wrong with the phone?
What do I need to share to find the issue and get it resolved.
