hi guys, my s3 i9300 wifi doesn't work , it says " Saved, Secured" since about 6 months ago.
the phone DETECTS the signal of a lot of wifi routers at almost 60 mt away, but don't connect, BUT when I go close any router that I have password ( almost 1 or 2 mts. from it )the phone check the ip address and connect.
first I thought that was the antenna, but if were it, the phone shouldn't detect the wifi router, and here is the problem, the phone detects the signal and only connect when is close to it (1 or 2 mt)
I tried changing the rom, it stays the same; reset my router ( or any other ( cause it happens with anyone else) nothing happen; in internet everybody says to reset phone, or reset router, but I think( I am not a developer) that the problem maybe in some system file ( probably in the efs folder, cause so many times I erase that folder by mistake, and when I have problem with the imei, I found solution to recover it).
there are a lot people finding solution for that problem, if you guys in XDA can help us we appreciate that
thank you
continue

Hi all.
A per my post in this thread. http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1117077
Code:
Hi all. I also have weak signal problem as well as fon router issue. The signal strength isn't as bad as being mentioned above, but still could be better.
But with my fon I can connect and connection is as showing connected, but I can't browse or have any connection to Internet whatsoever. When connecting to fon both lights on the router start flickering like normal and once connected when browsing or going to market for apps just one light blinks, when both should under normal activity.
Also I get this error message " a network error has occurred. retry or cancel and return to previous screen." when I try going to market.
I've tried setting security to none and wpa and still same no net.:confused:
Now some personal thoughts with experience with Linux and wifi. I think the problem is with driver or the firmware of wifi card on GS2. I had netgear card even thought it was claimed to work with Linux it kept on overheating and dropping connections with weak signal and every time I had to patch it to make it work properly, Many have reported same issues with other devices with Linux when it was claimed that devices should be working but were not.
My question is there anything I can do other than I haven't so far to check the problem why am not getting Internet through my fon router? Or any other checks I can do other than wifi tools I downloaded?
Thanks

Thats the router not the phone .
Set router to no security or passwords .
DELETE ROUTER WIFI FROM PHONE REBOOT AND RESET UP WIFI .

Hi, I've tried that still the same problem.
And it's not the router since every other device connects to it and many laptops and computers, without any problem.
Like I said I've tried it with wpa wep and no security just open, and still no Internet, even though it's showing as connected with signal bars at the top of the phone.
I've tried the phone with friends routers and it works on those. But not with mine which is Fonera.
Does anyone know what chip is used for wifi in these phones?
In case anyone else is wondering it's Samsung's own brand.
manufacturer=Samsung Electronics
device_type=1-0050F204-1
OK so I have T mobile version Galaxy S 3 phone is rooted (stock ROM)
WiFi was working properly except that sometimes when I had few devices connected to my router it didn't want to connect , but I have always experienced that problem with android on my HTC Evo and My touch 4g, it seems that when you connect to a router and disconnect and another device connects the phone tries to connect using the old IP which is now used by the other device.
its annoying but biggest problem now with the S 3 is that 2 days ago the phone will connect to the router at least it shows the WiFi icon on the status bar and on the wireless and network info ( connected ) but once I try to open a web page or app like Facebook it will show no connection, Kies air doesn't even recognize that there is a WiFi connection.
I have tried looking around on this forum and on google and have seen other people with same problem but no solution at all.
any ideas anyone?
I have tried forgetting the connection, restarting phone router, modem.
and other devices including my old phones work.
If your getting the same problem with different phones then the problem must be with your router. It seem that it only allows a certain number of devices to connect to it.
No, other devices and phones are working properly, problem is only on the SG3 100% sure not router problem at all , I am thinking something about the WiFi info on the phone got corrupted or something I guess I will try factory reset and wipe everything.
Well for future references, I had to do a full wipe ( data, dalvik, cache) and its working now as intended.
anyone experiencing this problem with galaxy s3 wifi connection after I reset my device it started working again but now after a few days the issue is back, have Wifi ICon on status bar but no connection to the internet at all, this is only happening with the S3 , evo 4g , mytouch 4g, laptop and desktop work without any problems.
Ok finally found the solution without the need of resetting the device. had to use static ip on my phone...
long click network connection , modify network config, show advance options, "ip settings = static" assign an ip and if u need help finding other info as gateway, dns servers etc..
on windows run "cmd" and ipconfig /all
Hi guys,
so here is my problem, i have Xperia Z2 with 5.0.2 Android.
Everything worked fine for few months wifi connected automatically to my home network, but yesterday it stopped working. It connects for maybe 5 seconds and then disconnects. When i try to connect i need add password and then it connects for few seconds and disconnects again.
I had the same problem with my old router few months ago. Phone was connecting without any problems for months and then one day it stopped.
It was some old TPLink model, now i have TP Link W8790. The same scenario after few weeks ;(
I havent changed anything in modem settings, the same with phone.
Any other devices like my 3 laptops, and 2 other phones have no problem with connection.
My xperia connects to other networks without any problems.
I was looking for solutions everywhere.
I ve done all resetting device, changing modem settings etc.
Could You please help me with this one?
Which secruity has your Wifi? Did you try changing the password?
Yup, i've done everyting with my router, with reset and change passwords. Encryption is set to WPA-PSK/WPA2-PSK. I discovered today that my phone disconnects with my friend's network as well, but it worked fine few days ago. In fact i remember that I connected with that network and then when I came home, my phone started to disconnects from my network. Both are 2.4Ghz networks. It must be phone issue . It works on 5Ghz with network in my work... but at the same time it cant be 2,4 issue since i connected to AP which my friend created from his phone.. thats crazy. Is there any possibility to reset wifi card on mobile?
Did u try a factory reset on your phone? Did you OTA-Update from your provider or flashed a FTF for 5.0.2
I havent tried to restore fabric setting, I dont think its a solution, because it stopped working one day ( few days after i paired my device with sony wristband swr10, i dont know if it matters) and then after 2 months not working, i changed my router.. worked for 1 month and now the same problem with new router Update came from provider.
So yesterday I tried connecting to eduroam (a 802.1x EAP-TTLS network) with a Gretel A7 (cheapo chinese phone, MTK 6571 chipset and MTK 6580 CPU).
Also this is Android 6.0
Since the network wasn't showing up (which was weird, on my laptop was working fine) I tried to add it up manually.
After setting up everything, and hitting connect, my wifi would find ANY networks anymore.
I tried deleting the network from the wpa_supplicant.conf, but it wasn't enough. So I had to do a factory reset (wifi got to work BUT: was extremely slow, disconnected many times from the network, gave limited connectivity many times as well, and wouldn't find as many networks as before).
When I got home I flashed the stock rom, but my phone's wifi was still having the same issue.
I believe this phone is not ready to connect to a EAP connection, maybe? What can i do to fix this phone up?
I've been messing with the /data/misc/wifi/ folder trying to figure something out but still made no progress.
PS: PLEASE, ANY HELP IS MUCH APPRECIATED.
PPS: Also, if anyone could lead me to a more proper forum, I'd gladly close this topic
Hello,
I can connect to all the Wifi but home Wifi which stubbornly rebuffs me with 'Network access denied'. The issue happened after I came back from a trip to france then China and tried to connect. I live in HK and the network (that had not changed) could be detected, but connection impossible. All other Wifis are fine... and this happening 2 weeks after I bought this phone..
I tried to reboot restart the phone, forget the network and reconnect to it, changing SSID of the phone, changing IP address. The phone won't connect.
When I go in 'Setting, Backup and restore', I find no possibility to reset all the networks, contrary to the possibility that seems to exist on other Huaweis>> Is this normal or this could be linked to a phone issue ?
So basically I am totally stuck after trying in total 2 hours of everything I found on the Internet.
If the last option is to totally reboot the phone to its infancy factory state, I am afraid it will be more painful to reinstall everything rather than having no Wifi.
Do you have an idea of something else I could try ? Thanks for your help
