I have an issue with wifi notification, not sure if it's hardware or software (that's how EMUI is).
my previous phone always notify me of available wifi networks when I am not connected to one, my HM20P doesn't do that. I literally have to go into Settings - Wireless & Networks - Wifi ...... to see which wifi network is available to log in.
Also, when I press on Wifi in the Notification area, it just toggled Wifi On or Off, doesn't open up Wifi Settings......is that normal?
International model, bought in canada.

Hello all,
Not sure if anyone have the same issue, but my WiFi drains about 7% battery in 30 mins. My connection is stable. It seems that WiFi is scanning about every 5 seconds for new networks.
I'm on Villain 2.0, KG1 modem and KG1 kernel.
should only scan if not connected if you have wi-fi enabled that is!

It should, yet it's still scanning for new networks, even though WiFi is already connected.
Advanced settings when in the wifi settings should have a tick box for notifying you of available networks. Ensure this is disabled!

Hi - I have the same problem. I did not have it when I was on KE8 which was my original FW. I then updated it to KF3 and initially I did not have this problem. Then I observed the batter drain so I checked that this was happening when WiFi is connected. I have unchecked the tick box for notifying the available networks. It did not work. I flashed Cognition ROM v.13 and then v1.15. The problem still persists. Is this a known issue? I am not seeing many entries regarding this problem.
I don't know if this is a known problem or not, but very annoying.
Hi guys,
Do you know if AT&T automatically prefers WiFi over 4G? If not, is there a way to set it so that I can save on my 2GB limit imposed by ATT? thanks

Set WiFi sleep policy to "never" - then the only things that will use cell data when you are connected to an access point are market checkins (but not market downloads) and MMS. Maybe not even MMS.
Note that the phone won't automatically connect to open APs that you haven't connected to before.
If you have wifi sleep policy set to "when screen is off", background data will be over the cell connection.

Sorry but I can't find this setting. I'm looking in power saving settings and the only thing i see is turn off wifi when NOT connected with mobile AP. Does mobile access point mean wifi or cell data?
Settings>Wireless and network>Wifi settings hit menu and select Advanced

just checked and its set to never.
I think you want to control access of data retrieval via cell network, right?
what I did was set the receiver options to airplane mode and then only enable the WiFi. That keeps the cell net from connecting. Also d/l an app to monitor your usage for piece of mind.

thanks, i found an app called APN On/off

With APN On/Off, it's a free app. I turn off the data and can still do everything else. It even has an option to keep MMS enabled
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]

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.

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,
Jaegermeister
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.
After I selected 5Ghz only, the option to select the wifi frequency band is no longer there?? Help!!
These are the default options which are supposed to be available :
Network notification: By default, when Wi-Fi is on, you receive notifications in the Status bar when your device detects an open Wi-Fi network. Uncheck this option to turn off notifications
Avoid poor connections: Check to automatically avoid using networks with a low-quality or intermittent Internet connection. <- this one as well!
Keep Wi-Fi during sleep: To conserve mobile data usage, your device stays connected to Wi-Fi when the screen goes to sleep.
Touch this option to change this default behavior: either to stay connected to Wi-Fi only when the device is connected to a charger (when battery life isn't a problem), or never to
Stay connected to Wi-Fi during sleep. The latter choice is likely to increase mobile data usage. You may want to revisit this setting if you receive a notification that you're approaching your specified mobile data limit.
Wi-Fi frequency band: Specify Automatic, 5 GHz, or 2.4 GHz frequency bands <-- this option is missing
Any ideas? Thanks!
Also, it's not just my default 2.4GHz band missing, even the neighbors. There were more than 10 when I scanned for them previously
Same problem here
I have the same problem on my Galaxy SIII... I chose to disable the 5Ghz band (2.4 only) in an attempt to suss out the problems with my phones wifi connectivity. I duly forgot about the setting until recently.
Between then and now - there was an update to my phone (which I did apply) - and now the advanced menu for Wifi does not contain an option to choose the Wifi Frequency Band... I've tried looking for 3rd party tools that allow you to set this - but haven't found any yet...
I'm on Android v. 4.0.4 with T-Mobile. Does anyone know how to set the frequency band back to Auto?
Much appreciated!!

SAME HAPPENED TO ME!!!
Galaxy S3 - I747 - WIFI FREQUENCY BAND (feature) MISSING AFTER UPDATE!!
-------->Kernel Version: 3.0.8-985684 - BUILD # IMM76D.I747UCALH9
Under the 'WiFi Advanced Settining' Menu >
These are the default options which are supposed to be available :
- Network notification:
- Keep Wi-Fi during sleep
- Auto Connect
- Wi-Fi Frequency Band: Specify Automatic, 5 GHz, or 2.4 GHz frequency bands <-- THIS OPTION (feature) IS MISSING!!!
- Mac Address
-IP Address
Why did samsung remove this very important feature (Wi-Fi Frequency Band) with this new update?
How am I supposed to chose between Auto, 2.4GH and 5GH connection now?
Will you put it back?
Any OAT to fix the problem?
CAN ANYONE AT SAMSUNG EXPLAIN THIS?
I HAVE CALLED AND CHATED W/ SAMSUNG SUPPORT, BUT NOBODY CAN GIVE ANY INFO.
Ditto
I am suffering from exactly the same issue on my Galaxy SII. I had it set to 2.4ghz only under ICS, and then flashed the latest leaked JB update. Now am missing the advanced options as per the OP.
A fix or app able to adjust these settings would be fantastic!

I just tried and it's a no go, still can't find 5ghz networks.
Have you done a factory reset? If not, go to your recovery and delete cache and data. There are no other options if you don't root that comes to my mind.

Hey guys,
Is there any way to use Mobile Networks without turning Wifi off?
Currently, as soon as I turn Wifi On, if there's a know network around, it will connect to Wifi and obviously Mobile Network (3G) is not used...
However, is there any chance to still use Mobile Networks without:
- Turning Wifi OFF
- "Forget" known networks
Reason for all this is that I'm having an issue with my phone... When I turn Wifi On, it gets "stuck" turning it on, and the only way to get wifi connection is by turning phone off and then on again (seems like a known bug, but nothing seems to fix it)
So what I want to do is to keep Wifi On all the time, but always use Mobile Networks unless I want to connect to wifi...
Any idea?
I had the same problem a little while ago, other software worked for me.
There is a workaround that helped me when wifi was stuck
Go to settings and search wifi hot spot! Turn that on and off and try if the normal wifi is off again.
It doesnt work always, but you can try. But i would say put some new firmware on the phone!

if you go to settings, you see wireless&networks. you can click on "more"
you will see Tethering & portable hotspot click on it, and there is the option for the portable wifi hotspot.
enable it, and disable it again, next thing is to check if you can turn on wifi the normal way again.
i hope this helps for you!
Will give it a try!! Thanks!
