I come from Italy and I updated my device on March, as everyone, I think. My device is now perfect except the wifi. The wifi disconnect during the stanby and it connects only using the static mode. I also have this problem even if I changed the wifi option for the stanby in "always". Another strange thing is that the wifi is reported as one of the main cause of consumption, as it is shown in the screeshot
I'm having WiFi issues as well since MM. It's set to Active on Sleep, but whenever I wake my tablet, it's disconnected and having much difficulties to re-connect.
I assumed it was some Xposed thing I'm running, haven't tested it 'clean'. Also, I'm on AndroPlusKernel v22. Not v22a yet.

Hi,
For the static mode try to change the DHCP client in the setting->developpers option.
Where are the developper options?

In setting->about the tablet -> tap 7 or 8 times to the build number and developpers options Will be enabled

Same problem here
Version .163
Stock kernel
Wifi standby settings to "always"
5Ghz wifi
Sometimes (not always) wifi disconnected after standby
DHCP working here
Maybe it is linked to wifi router problems during standby. I had wifi problems already before MM (! sign at wifi symbol). Maybe the difference now is that it isn't reconnecting in standby anymore after wifi failure. But just a guess...
At least it's not how option "always" should work...

Hi,
Maybe it's related to your router lease time that send a new DHCP address after lease time. Check if the lease time is set to "permanent"

Thanks for reply. It's set to three weeks, so not the reason.
(But even then it must renew the lease and not stop the wifi.)
I'll get new router soon, let's see if something changes...

I have the same issue but I actually have the turn off wifi in sleep enabled but it still shows up that its being used in sleep when I look at battery
The problem:?*
I connect it to the Wi-Fi and it works fine for about 5 minutes. As I'm watching YouTube videos every 5 minutes the video pauses and starts to buffer until it eventually say connection lost. Meanwhile the tablet still claims that Wi-Fi is still connected and with full connection. This also happens with web pages and apps that require and internet connection.
Temporary fix:
Turning Wi-Fi off and back on again fixes it, but only for a few minutes.
What have I tried to fix it?
I've tried everything from a factory reset to a software repair.
OS: Android 6.0 (Marshmallow)?*
Build Number: 32.1.A.1.185
Any help would be much appreciated. Thanks in advanced.

Hi all.
For the last month or so I have been unable to use wifi because it drains my battery too fast. I have had this problem with Litening rom 3.1-2, Sensation Rom, running the stock rom, using stock kernels, litening kernel, siyah... I have no idea what else to try. I have wiped data, all of the caches, reflashed, bricked, fixed the brick, and still dont know what to do. Does anyone have any advice?
Thank you in advance.
Given everything you've tried, that's obviously a router issue. Maybe update your router firmware or try another router. Definitely not a phone issue. There's something in your router settings causing it, you could also do a factory reset on the router as well (make a note of all your settings first) & remove all encryption, then add back settings one by one in order to try and isolate what's causing it.
I dont have a problem with my computer or any other devices on my home router. And the phone has battery drain when wifi is on, not necessarily connected even... The one thought i had that might be connected to my home router is that it disconnects and reconnects every 5 seconds when on my home router.

Try this...on your wifi settings go to Advanced then on Keep Wi-Fi on during sleep. choose Only when plugged in or Never. This will turn-off your wifi when your phone is sleeping.
Also, the drain can be caused by other applications not necessarily your wifi. Use BetterBatteryStats to check the wakelocks.
This is from the fluxi kernel thread:::
Q: Wakelocks "wlan_rx_wake" wake up my device constantly what I can do about it?
A: The problem is neither Android nor the kernel, but the router and the (Windows7) network. In the network properties, uncheck "IPv6", disable the service "IP Helper", "Shell Hardware Detection" and "Windows Media Player Network Sharing Service", which provide ongoing Traffic. Then they scored again 98% of deep sleep.

Have You tried a ICS 4.0.4 CM9 nightly??? They are very stable and muuuuuch better than the stock ROMs. I've got WiFi on all the time and still can reach over a 24hrs with screen on for aprox. 4hrs..... Maybe this will work for You.

Im gonna try this next. But why do you think that the problem only just started in May? Ive had the same router set up since November...
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.

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
Hi all!
I have an international version of the S3 with a weird problem.
When I have Wifi connected my phone can't sign in to Google talk and wont receive notifications. I can browse and download stuff though.
If i switch to 3G all is well and working. I have tested on different networks and I have a galaxy tab 10.1 connected to the same wifi without problems so it's no ports in the firewall that's causing it.
If I restart the phone it works for about a day then it fails again and I have to restart the phone to get G-talk over wifi.
I have tried setting the phone a static IP, switched "Keep wifi on during sleep" on and off, tried the trick with power saving in debug menu but nothing helps.
Has anyone experienced the same and can someone maybe suggest a fix?
Best regards
Erik
I have tried IM+ and that works perfectly over wifi. The problem is that since GTalk does not work over wifi then I don't get notifications from Google Play or other apps as well. When i switch over to 3G I get all notifications at once.

There is nothing wrong with your phone. Google are having problems at the moment:

The problem is that it have been this way since I got the phone, not just yesterday.
My girlfriends XU is acting up ultimately weird..
Since some time we have this problem:
Wi-Fi only works for about 3 minutes when connecting to a wifi signal, yet the wifi signal icon indicates as if it has a good connection. The only way to regain connection again is to reboot, but then the same problem repeats itself, after a few minutes wi-fi is not working anymore. Also in the wifi-indicator the "send" arrow works, the "receive" arrow doesn't.
Basically if you want to discover a new wi-fi connection you need to reboot the phone also, because otherwise the previous connected wi-fi signal remains (it freezes as stated before after about 3 minutes).
Tried a factory reset already.. Didn't work. The phone runs the stock sony android 4.0.4.
Any idea's ?

Hi all
I have had my tab s6 for less than a day now and keep getting an issue where the wifi drops out and will not turn back on the only way to get it to turn on again is to restart the device it has happened 4 times and I have only had the tablet for just under a day.
Does anyone else have this issue and I'd do is there a known fix (have seen this reported by other forum users)
I posted in the WiFi section but I'll add here too. I'm getting the same thing multiple times a day. WiFi quits working. If you toggle it off in the settings it will not toggle back on. Restarting the tablet fixes it for a while.
No issues here. Works perfect (but comparing to my Kindle Fire HD10)

one thing i have noticed is it is only happening on some networks it does not appear to be happeing when i am at work but does at home however dont think its my wifi as multiple people are repoerting the same issue on the samsung website reddit and here.
Same here, no issues so far at work, but happening regularly at home. I wonder if it is a specific brand of WiFi router or a feature like mimo that is causing the tablet's WiFi to crash.
I'm using Netgear Orbi's at home with all the advance features on.
Happens a lot to me, I'm using Ubiquiti mesh access points. I wonder if it's related to mesh networks specifically.
Happens to me as well. From time to time, Wifi hangs/crashes on the Tab S6 on my Netgear Orbi mesh network at home. Reboot required.
I suspect it is some feature that is causing the WiFi crashes. I may try turning router features off to see if it makes a difference. For now it is just annoying but easy to reboot. I'm hoping the next firmware update resolves it. I'd expect there to be a bug fix one coming within a month or two after release.
Same issue
OK so at least it isn't me. I'm having the same issue. I'm on Google wifi. Sounds from the commenters that everyone is on a mesh wifi. Could that be the problem. Has anyone contacted Samsung about this already?

Not sure if mine is mesh or not I'm on talk talk in the UK but only have 1 access point however my hub does swap between 5 and 2.4 ghz so that could be causing it for me. And there is a thread on samsung community US and EU about the issue. If you just Google tab s6 wifi issue it comes up.

Good to know it's on those forums also (sorry but the more people experiencing the bug the more likely it gets fixed).
I did not have any issues with Wi-Fi until I stalled Blokada adblocker's latest Version. I re instalked the previous version and I have no issues again.
Whilst I'm not using a mesh WiFi at home I do have a router that swaps between bands. I'm thinking that this could be the cause but I don't have the issue at work (Meraki)

i would suggest we all go and write a review on there website as this would help to highlight the issue as widespread and hopefully they will fix the issue faster.

On your Orbi, what advanced WiFi features do you have on or off? (Beam Forming, MU-MiMo, Fast Roaming) I have them all on and am seeing the issue only while at home on the Orbi WiFi. I'm wondering if one of those are causing the WiFi crashes.
