Phone keeps rebooting after trying to access a wifi - Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Last week i tried an method which helps me to access the wifi for free without password ( i only try it on my own wifi ). The result was a success, but since then the phone always reboot when connect to a wifi or download something heavy with it. And also when i connect to a wifi, it usually has a popup dialogue : "Connected to xxx wifi network" ( with xxx = wifi name ). But then after i tried the method above, it only just say "Connected to Wifi Network" and also under the wifi button in notification section, it doesn't show the name of the wifi that i'm connecting to anymore. So what should i do now? Thanks in advance

[Q] S3 Wifi, Roaming and Time Issue. Please help

I am away form home now and facing some frustrating issues with my new S3.
1. I cant connect to any WIFI network though the WIFI connection has very good signal strength. I always get the msg 'Network disabled. Poor Connection'. There is nothing wrong with the WIFI as i can connect it with my laptop and my buddy could connect to it using his IPhone.
2. My roaming time is completely wrong. It does not follow the time of the country I am in. It is showing the same time as my home country network. Shouldnt it automatically detect the network and shows the correct time like Iphone?

1. Restart the router & try just using 2.4Ghz in settings > wifi > advanced
2. Ensure: menu > settings > date & time > check [auto date & time] and [auto time zone]

1. I cant restart the router as i am connecting to the Hotel's wifi. Everything else can be connected to it except for this S3. I followed your instructions but it keps showing "Connecting". and nothing else happens.
2.I have already check both auto date & time and auto time zone earlier. But the problem still persists.
Please help
Beginnin to regret my decision to get a S3. So complicating!
If you happen to have a case on, remove it and try again.

Turn off wifi, reboot, and turn on?

Hi, this is my first post, as I created my account specially with the purpose to answer you.
After being faced with the problem all day and reading all possible materials on the topic in google and here, my dad walked in and asked me why he is not able to connect to our home wireless connection.
This was when I retrieved my hope that the problem is not in the phone. And it was not! My iPhone, my laptop were able to obtain a internet connection in contrast to my other laptop and my S3! I restarted the rooter and everything was ok! Everbody got their internet dose !
So, most probably it isn't you!
Also have wifi problem, except it tells me it's an authentication error. I cannot connect to the WiFi unless I stand right next to it. Can't connect to WiFi anywhere (if you think it's the router in my house), even though the device detects the router. Sent it back to Samsung.

Hey, I experienced the same problem. But in my case, I am able to connect to the AP, if I am using a static IP address in the SGS3 instead of DHCP. Same router, no settings changed there. Just configured a static IP.
Cheers,

Same problem
Tried everything still not working, took it back to samsung they said it's working fine any other device is connecting without a problem but the S3 wont (i have 15 S3 with this problem)
Thanks
Bring back the phones to Samsung!

I'm also frequently getting the "Network disabled. Poor Connection" message when at home. I have 2 wifi routers:
- Buffalo WHR G54S
- Draytek 2920n
If I turn wifi off/on on the S3 it sometimes resolves the issue, but not always. Sometimes after turning off/on it shows a status of "Connected"but there is no internet connectivity. If I then switch to the other router I can sometimes (but not always) connect successfully.
I'm running Checkrom v5.5, and have tried both the Perseus and Siyah kernels - both have this problem.

Galaxy S 3: Wifi for LAN not working?!

Hey everyone
Just picked up this phone shipped from overseas. I have installed CWM and rooted the device. I have turned the phone on with a SDcard (but no SIM card). I have connected to my LAN at home to try and browse the internet - i get the basic andriod error message - no webpage will load. Sometimes the error message doesn't come up instantly, it takes about 15-20 secs to error out.
I originally backed up stock ROM, then used Darkside Superwipe to then install Andriod Revolution HD latest version from these forums - still had the same dramas. Restored original image and it mdoesn't seem to have changed anything. Willing to try whatever I can to fix the issue, or I will return the phone as faulty.
* Correctly connected via WEP, full strength signal
* Mobile data turned on
* Up/Down arrows for Wifi seem to light up, but nothing happening
Any ideas or suggestions as to what i can try? Baseband vers XXLG8

hmmmm did you check your router and verify if the connection was stablished correctly? I mean no MAC filtering or anything.
try to recover the phone using kies if that doesn't work then it's a faulty phone
When you are connected to your LAN, does the phone shows what IP it has? Furthermore, go into the dailer and enter *#0011# then hit menu > wifi and do a ping test. If it passes, then there could be some issue with the browser (very unlikely). If it fails, then there might be some connection problem from the router end like alankstiyo mentioned (mac filtering, dhcp off, etc).

[Q] Asking to sign in when no sign in required WiFi

I have a verizon hotspot for the road so I have connection while traveling. It always worked great, however now on Android 5.1, half the time when the phone connects to the hotspot, it asks me to "Sign into network". I click the sign into network, and there is nothing to sign into and it connects.
The problem is, I am trying to make it all automatic. When I lose data from my carrier, Wi-Fi is turned on and connects to the hotspot. That's when the "Sign into network" pops up. If I don't click the the sign into network notification within a couple minutes, Android flags that network as having no internet, and won't automatically reconnect until I forget the network and connect to it again.
Does anyone know why android keeps asking to sign in to the network when there isn't anything to sign into? When I click sign into network, it brings up the sign in activity, shows a loading bar, then the sign activity goes away and I'm connected.
Perhaps there is a way to automatically 'click' the "Sign into Network" notification when it pops up?
I solved it. I'm not sure why Android keeps wanting me to login (perhaps the verizon hotspot is logging every connection, and Android sees that as a captive portal). Every time I got the "Sign into Wi-Fi network", it was when I still had some sort of mobile data connection. Now, because Android switches to mobile data if you need to sign in to a wifi, it never tries to get internet on the wifi until the user actually taps the notification to sign in.
Now, if there is NO mobile data connection (both wifi and mobile signals have an exclamation mark), Android will keep trying to gain access to the WiFi without user interaction. Because of the initial confusion, Android thinks I need to login to the hotspot, but if it would check again, it would see that there is access.
So the solution is to detect if there is a notification for "Sign into Wi-Fi network", and if there is, disable mobile network data until the Wi-Fi network is connected. I did this in a bit of a different way for my application, but the concept is the same.
This is the solution for all of those apps that automate WiFi logins with real captive portals that broke with Android 5. The only downside is they would now require root in order to disable mobile data.

Mobile Hotspot Stopped Working - Can't Connect

I'm on STF-L09 8.0.0.364 and everyday I use mobile hotspot with no problems. Few days ago I tried to use Device List feature to allow only Allowed Devices to connect on my hotspot. After trying this, my PC and iPad couldn't connect anymore to my hotspot. The network appears by default but iPad shows "wrong password" and PC shows "Can't connect to this network". I went back to last configuration but with no success. I have already tried to change network name, password and authentication type but none of the attempts worked. Does anyone have an idea of what to do or know a way to get the mobile hotspot settings back to the original?
Same here.
For no reason wifi hotspot stopped working.
I tried to reset network parameters, to switch between wifi 5GHz and 2.4 GHZ (as found elsewhere), no result.
I installed last update (STF-L09 8.0.0.368), but hotspot still not working, can't connect any device to it.
Any clue ?
Dear User,
again go to hotspot>> device list>>select allow devices to "connect as all devices". Then disable and re-enable hotspot and again try to connect, try to reconfigure wifi in ur ipad, laptop and all. its working tried as u said with my device
I did that once, didn't work. I did it 2 or 3 times more, then it finally worked !
Hotspot is really instable : after some minutes of use, I had to do this again .
But thanks for your help.
It seems like enabling and disabling the Device List turns the Hotspot working back. But every time I want to use Hotspot, I need to do it again. The functionality really is unstable.

Question Open Wi-Fi 'no internet'

Hi guys,
Weird problem:
Since I'm on Android 12, my Nord 2 loses internet connection on open wifi networks.
On Android 11, never had a problem. I choose the open wifi at work ''AZ-D guest'' (free Wi-Fi from the hospital), and stayed connected all day.
Since A12, once I connect to the same open wifi at work, the pop up screen asks to agree the policy and I can use the network a few minutes. After a screen off and unlock screen, the wifi stays connected, but notifies ''no internet''
Forget network and reconnect: no pop up screen appears to reconnect, only solution is restart the phone...
Same problem with the free WiFi network from my internet provider called ''Telenet Hotspot'', also one time able to connect, but after a few minutes of inactivity, stays WiFi connected, but 'no internet'
Tried already:
- reset Network settings
- change private DNS to cloudflare or Google DNS , or without DNS
- disabled 'standby optimisation during sleep'
- use static AP
- use device MAC address
Nothing helps...
Any solutions?

No option, I like my OS up to date, not easy with this device's late update policy
