Hi, is anyone has the same problem? When I'm connected at home to my Tenda router (WIFI b/g/n) after cca 30 min. my phone WIFI stops sending and recieving data, Skype is offline, etc... but WIFI in phone is stil switched on. After I switch WIFI off and back on (on my Samsung, not on my router), everything works good for a while and after cca 30 min. is situation the same. Is there in Samsung any WIFI sleep mode or something like that? Or some settings, which is not visible? Any other suggestions? Sorry for my poor English. Thanx in advance.
I'm having the same problem. But I did a factory reset and it works fine afterward.
And just few hours ago, I encountered this problem again. What did to get this error was, I pressed "on samsungapps" and it failed to update and thus results wifi connection stopping. What about you? Also my Kies air is not working.
are you guys sure you have wifi sleep policy set correctly? just to be sure, settings, wireless, wifi, menu button, advanced, wifi sleep policy to NEVER.
Yes. And also even if i manually disconnect and reconnect the wifi back. The data still doesn't come in. It is stated there as connected but no data at all.
Somehow Wifi keeps searching every few seconds, even thought it's connected.
This is bound to cost in battery life too.
I have reseted router to default settings, disabled n mode, disabled security (only mac filtering is on), disabled all unnecessary features and PROBLEM IS SOLVED !!! Thanx God Tomorrow I will experiment with router settings to know, what was causing this error ;-)
Well at least u're connected, I'm facing the same problem as the thread starter. No data flow at all. Browser showing me offline msg. I had the same problem on the 1st day with the phone after I woke up. previously playing with most of the default aps. So i'm not sure what went wrong, did a factory reset and it works fine.
Until, few hours ago, I tried my kies air which didn't work. Browser couldnt load the address given. And I thought i had an outdated kies air, so i went to click on samsungapps, which failed to update me. At that point the wifi is still working, i leave my phone for about 30 mins, and when i came back. The same problem which happened on the 1st day came back. I was hoping to find an answer here so I didnt do the factory reset it. On another note, the phone wifi works after restart, but wouldn't last.
Edit: The wifi works after i resetted my modem to default. oh well. at least that solved it.

Hi,
Did you find out what setting was causing the connection issue? I also have this problem with my Tenda router. I thought it might be the wireless N, but disabling that doesn't fix it. I have a wireless distribution system set up with other tenda routers so didn't want to disable all the settings to troubleshoot if i can help it!
Thanks

I have the same problem, my router is N and the conection between SGS2 and my router is bad. Any idea?
Same problem here, I'm running WZR-AGL300NH in access point connected to my Ubuntu Server. Everything else works in the house just fine but SG2 stops transmitting data after a while.
I recently upgraded to KF1 firmware (and unknowingly wiped out whole phone, being on the bleeding edge and that didn't seem to help.
I would very much appreciate all tips because this problem is very annoying!
Additional Info:
- Buffalo is running latest firmware
- Authentication WPA2-PSK
- Encryption AES

Same symptoms here. Cisco DDR2200. WPA2 PSK. Haven't tried fiddling with the router yet.
This seems to be a common problem. Anyone knows of a definitive fix?
Bump...I have the same problem and the issue persists even after i reset the phone
Sent from my GT-I9100 using XDA App
Glad I found this, thought it was the ROM I had flashed to the phone (which is VillainROM)
I keep losing connection from my phone via wifi like everyone else in this thread
edit: I've just assigned my phone an IP address via my routers settings and I can connect to the net again
Also when it wasn't working, I couldn't ping the phone. When I assigned the IP just now I still couldn't ping it.
When I did a tracert to it, I could get to it when the IP was assigned and when it wasn't.
I have no removed the assigned IP for the phone from the router. Wifi connection is still working after disconnecting/reconnecting wifi on the phone.
I can also now ping the phone, where as before it was getting timeouts.
Also when it wasn't working the first time when I did a tracert it was showing up as HPsomething (didn't make note of the numbers)
this time when it is working it's just showing up as the IP address when doing a tracert.
Another update:
Just checked my printer, it has an IP address manually set on it, which at one stage when the phone wasn't working for internet it had the same IP as the printer, hence when tracert'ing it I was going to the printer instead of the phone and getting the HP etc back.
When it wasn't working at that time and looking at my routers DHCP list, it had the MAC Address of the phone against the IP that the printer has....
So I've got some issues with how my own network is setup ^_^ which looks like is causing me grief.
So the issue is with DHCP? Setting a static IP fixes it? I'll have to try, but I doubt this is a problem with the network, as all my other devices use DHCP without this problem.
I have the exact same problem!!
It's really annoying.
i was having problems with wifi too.. it keeps scanning and checking, etc, signal dropping for no reason..
fixed mine..well for me it worked
backup ur phone ( i dont take responsibility if ur phone catches fire or dies or chases u around )
u need to be rooted
download FXR WiFi fix and rescue from market
and just run the app.
now my wifi signal stays constant speed and i get good speeds
alternatively try
WiFi Fixer
both of them will cause high battery usage..i think since it keeps the signal at maximum.. so only enable wireless when i need it or use juice defender or green power.
greenpower seems great. using this at the moment
Yeahhhh so my old phone was having some issues so Sprint got me a new (refurb) LTEVO. Phone looks great, but it doesn't connect to wifi no matter what I do. I've already tried factory resetting, setting to 2.4ghz only, and nothing, wont connect. Tried on my WPA2 network at home, as well as our WPAe at work. Exact same symptoms. The phone will randomly see the networks, so naturally I select it and enter my credentials. Immediately the phone will say the network is out of range. A few minutes later it'll pop-up in range again, I try to connect, same thing.
I thought it may be related to the wifi antenna on the phone but it seems to be okay. I already did a factory reset and no change.
What are the chances I got a dud phone? I want to root and install CM10.1 but I don't even know if it's worth it if I'm going to have WIFI issues and will have to take the phone back anyway.
Anyone run into this?
Does it work on a WiFi that doesn't have a password

Just tried, same issue. As soon as I hit connect it doesn't even bother trying to connect. It immediately says "saved" under the network I tried connecting to, and within moments that network disappears. When it reappears it says 'not in range'.
I think this phone is hosed.
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.
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

been using same router and internet (bt homehub 6) for past year nothing changed,
phone has been okay recently no recent factory resets etc
phone has been fine on home wireless network,,
been out today came home and router has been untampered
and phone will not work on wifi it connects but states
wifi sign in request authorisation
i can login to my router still so phone is connected,
ive factory resetmy router , problem still persists, i dont want to factory reset my phone as its loads of hassle if its a simple fix
My phone will connect fine to my wifi but then within a few minutes just die out and anything I try to load just times out. Toggling airplane mode just buys me another minute or so. I Googled around about it and Huawei phones in general seem very picky when it comes to wifi, I haven't tested it against other routers or bands but it sure doesn't like mine (and I have ten other devices that work perfectly). If you search about it you will find many people having the same issues, but no real fix.
