Hi guys, in this days i have noticed a problem with my gsII.
Sometimes I have the gsII connected to my router but internet connection doesn't work.
I'll try to explain better what i mean... I start wifi on my gsII and use internet connection without problem. Then I set the phone in standby mode leaving wifi on. When after a while i want to use internet connection, it doesn't work. The telephone is still connected to my router but i can't use internet on the phone.
The only way to make internet connection work is to disable wifi e then reactivate it.
This is really frustrating....
I've got the telephone from three months but only now I'm noticing this problem because first I used to disable the wifi and activate it only when i need it.
Am I the only to have this problem? Is there a solution?
Thanks to everyone in advance... any help would be appreciated
A video is more than thousands of words, so this is an "example video" of the bug:

Test it with a different router, i.e. Cisco E4200.
It would a good idea but i have to buy a new router or go to some friend's house for 2-3 hours. I'll keep this idea in my mind thanks
I have this problem, mines a bt home hub v3. Don't think its the router I blame the phone. I have to restart phone to make it connect with ability to use internet

I do not know what " standby mode" is? I have the same phone and have no problems with wifi. The phone goes to sleep when I do not use it and awakes when I use it.
It seems that your phones wifi is sleeping and not waking up. I always turn it off when not using it anyway. Not the full answer but it works for me.

I don't use wifi very often, but I do notice this problem with 3G data. Modem problem? I'm using kh3.

I believe I know and had the problem you describe.
For me the Wifi would work perfectly at first and then after the phone had been left for a while I would try to use it and get 'no connection' type errors. Sometimes it would even stop working even if I just waited too long with the phone still on in my hand.
I found that if I either disabled router wifi security or set it to WEP the problem disappeared. The issue occurred on 2.3.3. My router is a DLink one fyi. I have yet to test 2.3.4 which came out yesterday in Sweden. Ill let u know.
What version android are u? Does relaxing ur wifi security fix it??

I really should have said that is a workaround not a fix. I can add also that I have contacted Samsung about it. They cannot confirm or deny thru issue but suggested that I take the phone to their service centre. Yay...

Ehm...For standby mode I mean that I lock the phone, I only shut down the display....understand what I mean?
If you turn wifi off when you don't use it, you'll never see this bug. Try to leave wifi on for some hours if you want to understand if also your gsII has this bug.

I'm wondering if a full wipe would help . In this days I'm really hating this bug.
Ps: A really strange thing of this bug that i've noticed is that internet connection doesn't work but the program androidVNC perfectly works!! Instead if I try to open 192.168.0.1 (router address) with any browser (opera, dolphin, stock's browser) it doesn't work!!

I tried changing the channel also. I have heard others getting this to work. Didn't work for me. You can use Wifi Analyser app on phone to find a clear channel and see how u go changing your router perhaps?
I tried re flashing also using factory restore. No fix for me.
Also noticed that u can sometimes get phone to work by toggling Network Data on/off. Not really fun either.
The wifi channels and security settings I am talking about are settings in the router not the phone. What wifi security are you using in your router?
Sent from my GT-I9100 using XDA App
I am not a believer the router is at fault in any case. I would entertain an incompatibility but nothing more.
Original router and security settings work fine for...wait for it...an iphone 3gs and a Motorola Defy (yes the phone which seems to have issues with doing everything else!)
Either way an incompatibility is not acceptable either if that's what it is

I know this, and in fact i have to switch off and on wifi connection when this happens.
Now i'm trying to use channel 5 with the router ( but yesterday I've tested channel 6 and 13 without any result)
I hate this bug because beacause it happens only when he wants! I'm quite sure that assistance wouldn't solve the problem. A friend of mine has changed three gsII and said that every gsII that he has changed had this bug!
Ps: Another question.... How often do you have this bug?
Once a week? Once a day? Three times a day?

Is NOT the phone.
i have the same problem reported in the 1st post.
i have been turning wifi off and then on again for a quick fix until now but i think the solution might be to drop the security on the router from WPA to WEP. Haven't tried it yet tho, because it doesn't bother me that much.
I had an ipad previously (before i had the SGS2) and it had exactly the same behaviour. I looked up the problem then and found a FAQ from the ISP that mentioned a compatibility problem between ipad and that router, so their suggestion was to set the router to WEP only.

Easily more than 3 times a day but then I use the phone a lot.
Problem had never occurred when I used only 3G. That was my workaround when I got fed up with it before I dropped the wifi security.

For me it happens always after the phone comes back from stand by with wifi on.
steps to reproduce:
1-turn wifi on, and check it's connected and working
2-press power button to turn off screen
3-turn phone back on, try to access a new web page, it doesn't work
I noticed that while it's in stand by i will still receive email notifications so it probably only looses the connection when i turn it on again.
Also, if there was some program working (say, a download) when i went into standby it will probably still be transferring when it comes out of stand by, it's just the new connections that fail.
my wifi can't connect to my friends router (linksys wrt120n) .. it scans then connecting then suddenly disconnected .. what supposed to be the problem ?? .. i have cm7 n2 by adfad666 .. i have this problem for almost 2 months

Could be a million things going wrong...password, diff key algorithm, MAC address filtering (if he has it enabled on the router).
You need to do more troubleshooting before asking the question...give the forum a starting point.
Check to see if your phone supports the type of the router.
For example, if your router is N and you phone only supports g/b, it won't work.
Check if the router supports as many devices are connected
is it normal that my ip address in wifi settings is unavailable ??

I guess it is since you haven't connected to a network that would have assigned you an IP address.

It would help to have more information about the way the router is set up, etc. Can other phones connect to it? Are you getting any error messages?
I bought a used WRT54GS a few weeks ago and couldn't get my phone connected over WiFi until I updated the firmware. You may want to look into that. It said it was connecting and then said disconnected. It never said it was connected though.
Once I got the new firmware installed then I was able to connect, encrypt the connection, etc.

Sorry to hear that.
If other devices can connect to it and yours can't, even with different ROMs and kernels, then it looks like this particular router just doesn't like your phone/setup for some reason. Especially since you can connect to other WiFi units.
Very frustrating.
If the router is set up to allow enough connections and isn't filtering out your phone's ==> WiFi <== MAC address then I don't know what else can be wrong.
Hope you can find a workaround, but I can't think of anything else at the moment.
sup everybody.
firstly, i am a wireless expert (11+ years experience) so im not a nuubie to Wireless networks.
but i am new to Android and have just recently gotten an S3, so im hoping some body can help me.
i have an 802.11n wireless hop that connects my upstairs network to my downstairs network (internet router is downstairs)
upstairs i have an 802.11b/g access point for the older devices to connect to, this access point is connected to my 802.11n bridge
my laptop connects to the 802.11b/g network fine, and has internet connectivity (no issues)
when i first got the S3 last night, it was connecting fine as well, but since this morning, no matter what i do, the S3 connects to the access point, gets DHCP, i can ping the IP address, but it doesnt have net access, but if i connect to the 802.11n network it gets net access.
so for the life of me i cant figure out why.
so in a nutshell net access works from the laptop, but not the S3, same access point, and yes ive checked the WPA2 passkey, and the device is getting DHCP.
any suggestions.
like how to reset the IP address on the S3
Tried restarting your rooter?

Sounds like the default gateway route is not correctly received or activated. Do you have any computer/laptop with a promiscuous-capable Wifi card around that you might use with Wireshark? It should tell what exactly goes wrong.
Since you claim to be a Wifi expert I guess you won't need much help interpreting the result.

Try shutting off ur router.... Wait for a min or so then turn it bak on nd see what happens. I have an intellinet router which when the current goes off nd then on im able to connect to everythng except all google services (gmail, search, reader, syn, etc.) until i do the above. All my other devices connect fine in the meantime! Must be smthng with android....
- check the ip address.
- from device, ping its default gateway
- from device, ping external ip address that is known to response to ping
if all those works but you can't ping www.yahoo.com, it is resolver issue.
if all those including pinging yahoo works, and you still have no access, then the apps has issue or there is firewall.
2 S3 in a 3 days (Internet Isues)
Well, a seven days ago itake a Galaxy S3 from my carrier: Ancel (Uruguay).
IN the First day all fine,but in the night it can´t connect with 3g. In the other day the Wifi STOPs. TheS3 conect with the rooter but can´t navigate.
I change the rooter, resetthe phone (factory Reset) but the thinks not change.
I comeback to my carrierand Ancel take my old phone and give me a new S3 (1 day old).
For 2 days, it go well, butin the final of the second day, No wireless or 3g connect, the same again.
It´s a |Firmware problem, ahardware damage, what suppose I have to do ???
My computer is normal, myold N97 is fine, It has 3G signal and navigate on Wifi and 2G/3G, but my galaxyS3 no …
I ´m very confused with this situation ... Twophones in a 3 days …
Just joined to give u a suggestion
TRY
call *#0011# (Takes phone into service menu)
press menu key and select wifi
Disable wifi powersaving mode
You may need to repeat this upon phone restarts but it may well sort out your problem

This technique works for me but only like a temporary solution. Restarting the home router also works for me but again is temporary. This issue I think is with most galaxy s3 devices. I own a galaxy tab 10.1 and it's there in it as well. huge pain to check each time, critical notifications are always missed. Have switched to bluetooth internet sharing from my laptop to avoid disruptions as I just can't trust the wireless.

not working for me
None of both have commented on my suggestion to use Wireshark on another computer to see what's actually going on.
It's hard to guess the reason since by crystall ball is broken and it's nearly impossible to get magical artifacts in pristine conditions on ebay...
No Way.
But after reset the configurations, today in 3G mode al is fine.
In wifi it shows Conected in calennetwork, after this it show internet not avaliable via selected wlan ap. It can´t navigate.
In my router page , the received packets always change, for more data and the sent packets never change.
In the avanced configuration what is the Network prefix lenght ? In my XT860 and N97 i always select the channel of the router, but in the galaxy a don´t have this option.
But the strange, is that in the 2 galaxy s3 in the first day work im my router, and then after some hours it´s crash and not navigate...
Very bad Samsung.
I´m thincking in change my S3 for a S2 or Lumia.
I´m disapointed for it, because if i change the Firmware version i lost the warranty and i have bad feeling about this isues... Is a hardware fault or a software bug ???

You only lose warranty if you bring it to a store without original Rom. Just use the normal procedure (TriangleAway, Odin, Factoryreset) to get it back to stock and you're good to go. If your device has issues preventing it from booting (so you cannot re-flash original) they can't check the binary counter either :angel:
THancks for the help.
I will going to look for triangleway & Odin in the forum.
With my Motorola XT860 i made a lot of stuff: CWM, Custom Roms... but i dont´t know nothing about the S3.
Just some days reading here in XDA and a will going to know all that kind os Staff.
Sorry for the BAd English...
I'm having this issue. I think it has to be a firmware issue as I don't think I get it if I use CyanogenMod9 or 10 (but I could be wrong)
It really is very annoying and somewhat disappointing.
Hello Again!
I tested my S3 in others routers, and all the router that working without sharedkey (open network) my S3 can conect and acess the internet.
Test your phone with one and post for us here.
OBS: In my TP link TL-WR642G it can´t conect (with and without Shared key) but in the first day yes, i don´t understand it.
I will going to 3 school who has open Internet for all the childrens and this 3 schools my s3 conect and navigate in the Internet.
Thancks for the support, if anybody change the firmware and the phone come normal again, please comeback here and post for us.
I have this problem too.. since omega. Strange...'

Anyone with this issue, please try the following:
- Take a Nandroid backup of your phone (on the internal SDcard, restoring from external seems to be broken)
- Flash CM9
- Try Wifi
If it works, please report. if it doesn't, restore the Nandroid backup and report =)
Since CM9 is not based on Samsung-software, that should answer the question about it being an issue in the newer Rom once and for all.
Hey guys,
I tried to find something about my problem, but there's only on thread here with a similar problem without any informations, so I decided to create a new one.
I'm sorry if there's already a solution and I was too dump to find it... If there's one, I'd be very thankful for a link.
So.... I own a X829 6/128 with a German SIM and it works very fine for me. After trying different ROM's I'm now at RR 5.8.5 @ 7.1.2 and it's really good.
But it doesn't matter which ROM I flash, I'm tortured by constantly wifi-drops.... In the meanwhile I even changed the router and repeater at home to different devices, played with the 2.4- and 5-GHz-bands and channels, and it doesn't matter what I choose (2.4/5 on the router or 2.4/5 on the repeater): The phone is constantly dropping the wifi.
Sometimes it's working for 30 minutes, sometimes it's dropping the connection after 5-10 seconds... I flashed different radio's, but no change.
It doesn't matter if I'm doing something "online" or if the phone's just lying on the table.
Thanks alot in advance!
Lot's of greetings an Merry Christmas!

Same phone, same problem.
But to be honest - i just realized when i read your post ... to me its like 99% its working and sometimes not then its in 3g 4g network. I usually do not even realize
Hey there,
nah, for me it's like vice versa. Mostly I can't even do a speedtest without the connection dropping...
Loading news? I have to try several times...
Download something? Hahaha, forget it!
Since the X829 has no B20 I really need Wifi at home, cause here's only Edge available besides LTE.
I'm really out of ideas.
Yesterday I found a thread about a Samsung phone with some similar problems, where the solution was diable the localisation via Wifi/Bluetooth, so I changed mine to GPS only, and it was working like a charm - at first.
After like 30-40 min. the same error occurred again.
Btw:
Here's the Hardware I have tried at home:
- Telekom Speedport Smart Router (Huawai) - replaced
- Telekom Speedport W925V (Arcadyan) - current
- TP-Link RE200 AC750 Repeater - replaced
- Netgear EX6150 AC1200 Repeater - current
As I said... I tried every configuration with a/b/g/n... Different channels instead of automatic...
It's really annoying.
Thanks alot for your help, but now go to you family y'all!
It's Christmas! This has time until after the holidays!

Since the X829 has no B20 I really need Wifi at home, cause here's only Edge available besides LTE.
I'm really out of ideas.
Yesterday I found a thread about a Samsung phone with some similar problems, where the solution was diable the localisation via Wifi/Bluetooth, so I changed mine to GPS only, and it was working like a charm - at first.
After like 30-40 min. the same error occurred again.
Btw:
Here's the Hardware I have tried at home:
- Telekom Speedport Smart Router (Huawai) - replaced
- Telekom Speedport W925V (Arcadyan) - current
- TP-Link RE200 AC750 Repeater - replaced
- Netgear EX6150 AC1200 Repeater - current
As I said... I tried every configuration with a/b/g/n... Different channels instead of automatic...
It's really annoying.
Thanks alot for your help, but now go to you family y'all!
It's Christmas! This has time until after the holidays!

Soooooo..... You haven't really mentioned trying it elsewhere. Have the same problem at a different location? Do you have multiple devices using the WiFi? I had a similar problem when I bought a smart TV, while streaming Netflix router "kicked" off the other devices.

Yes. I haven't any Wifi's to try nearby. And when I connected so one in a restaurant for example, I haven't watched it all the time.
In the meanwhile I disabled the WiFi of the Router. I connected the repeater via cable and set it up as AP. No changes (the router can't drop a device which is not directly connected to it, right?). Also I gave the phone a static IP outside the DHCP-range, to make sure the router (DHCP server) can't kick me via releasing the IP.
(I've tried that because we use TV-over-IP "Telekom Entertain"... Usually the router uses WMM/QoS to make sure the bandwidth is always enough for TV Unfornately I can't change that, so I decided to set up the repeater as AP)
No real changes. Sometimes (like now) it's working like a charm. Sometimes it's dropping like every 10 seconds.
PS:
While I wrote this there was only one drop. ^^

Hmmm. I don't have that much experience with routers. But I can suggest 2 ideas.
At some point, at a different location, confirm its your device with the problem.
Second is try a VPN from your max.
Seems like a simple solution your missing. Assuming your phone is in working order, software solid, just WiFi dropping out sounds crazy. Especially if there hasn't been any other instances around the forum.
Good luck, sorry I haven't really helped.
Hello, I have the same problem as you, the only solution I found was to install the Rom CUOCO 92 28s, after installing, you go into WIFI, then advanced settings, look for WIFI frequency band, select "use only 2.4GHz band So, after that normal wifi works, unfortunately you're going to have to go back to Android 6.0.1, but your wifi will work

@Supertacomonkeyexplosion
Still thanks for your replies and help thinking!
A VPN would also drop (it's not the transfer itself, the whole connection is gone), I think. And I noticed this problem first since I flashed an Android 7/N-ROM, as itsbianchi said.

Thanks alot! But I don't really wanna go a step backwards. I hope there's a stable/official 8/O-ROM soon to try. And I still can't figure out why they put away the possibility to manage your networks/settings on your own. -.-
But if there's no other option, I'll give it a try. Thank you!

Some update
I found in the dev-settings an option for a "more agressive handover" to mobile network.
When my understanding is correct it should handover to mobile network ealier, if the wifi-signal is weak. I just activated that setting, to see if the the connection is lost more often (because I thought that maybe the threshold of that setting is too high -> switching between my Wifi and Mobile all the time). But it seems that it's more stable now... I dunno why. I just checked it like an hour ago. Maybe there's no change, since sometimes the connection is pretty stable and sometimes it's dropping all the time. I'll just try it for the next hours/days...
Btw:
I was in a restaurant with an open wifi two days ago: Not one drop while I was there (I checked the connection as often as I could).
Maybe some food for thoughts for you guys...
Friend, enter the LAN settings of your router, but in the protocol of IPV6, and disable the assignment of IPV6, I was col this same problem.

I have similar problems with wifi. Wifi connection does not drop but I can't download large files or I can't install apps from Google Play store larger than 5 MB. Download process stops after several megabytes. I tried so many ROMs including Cuoco92's 23S and I tried "use only 2.4GHz band" setting in 23S but I haven't tried Cuoco92's 28S. Because I read a lot of bad comments about Cuoco's 28S. Do you think should I try Cuoco's 28S?
Or is it a hardware problem?

On my lemax 2 I cant connect with router max range g: linksys and tplink if I have rom 8.1 aosp. I have same rom installed on xiaomi redmi note 3 and there is ok. Connect to that routers without any problems. Any idea how to fix it in lemax 2? Thanks
I'm playing pubg and it disconnect at 968ms ping.
Only on mobile data...
Not when connected to WiFi hotspot from another phone of same internet provider
Edit : SOLVED(Nougat) !!!
Steps : I deleted the custom config lines from system/etc/thermal-engine.conf
And
Replaced system/vendor/bin/thermal engine file with one from this thread https://forum.xda-developers.com/redmi-note-4/how-to/workaround-network-lost-temperature-t3686769

That is your mobile carrier issue.
No . im not experiencing ping issues from the same sim card put into another mobile and getting network via hotspot. That way i get 180~ ms ping.
But on mobile network, same sim, firstly ping is about 200~ . After a while it jumps to 960~ ms and stays there... I've tested more than two games amd issues ls still there.
I think its the lte modem of rn4 is not that great
i have the exact same issue. It's really annoying.
