Hi,
I have had the Samsung Galaxy S for about 2 months now and in the last two weeks I have not been able to connect to my wi-fi at home. the 3g works fine but everytime i try to connect to my wi-fi at home it comes up as unsuccessful and then the wi-fi turns itself off. for a while the other wi-fi connections would connect but would not open any internet pages, but now it just won't connect at all. I have tried resetting the router and the modem, and have done a factory reset on the phone but it still won't work! Can anyone shed any light on this or offer me any advice as I am becoming extremely frustrated with my phone!!

I have a Tilt with the stock AT&T ROM and HardSPL. I keep the HSDPA data on all the time and connect to my wireless access point while at home.
I understand and am fine with wifi disconnecting in sleep mode - email still checks using HSDPA. What normally happens is when I power the Tilt back from sleep the WiFi connects back to my access point.
I've noticed more than a few times however that coming out of sleep WiFi doesn't even attempt to reconnect to the access point. It is on in Comm Manager and appears to be associated with my AP, but checking the IP online shows an AT&T IP addr, not my CATV provider.
The only way to get back on WiFi is to shut off the phone (or reset). I don't want to keep WiFi on while in standby, I just want it to reconnect when it should.
Has anyone seen this behaviour?
Cheers,
Todd
Wifi access point problem
I had a problem where suddenly after months of use with my home wifi router, it suddenly would not connect with the router anymore. Would show that it was trying to connect, and then would suddenly not connect and try another router on the list.
I tried reseting and everything. Tried re-entering the password for my router as I thought that was the problem. finally the only fix i found to work was to actually delete the access point from the phone... then reset and then let it find it all over again from scratch. And miraculously that time it worked.
I know this is not exactly your problem, but hope it helps.
I will try that and see what happens. It seems whatever sub-routine that turns the wifi on isn't running at times and doesn't even attempt to search.
All of a sudden beginning yesterday my captivate can no longer connect to the wifi network at work. Other users can connect to the network fine and I'm able to see the network from my phone and connect to other networks just fine but when I try to connect to the work network it just shows connecting with the round circle containing 2 curved arrows and then disconnected, scanning, and connecting again.
I have stock 2.3.5 and have tried wifi fixing apps and power cycling without success... Basically I'm stuck at the point of a hard reset unless anyone has any other suggestions for why I'm unable to access one specific wifi channel all of a sudden...
Thanks!
I meet wifi problem like yours, cause of the poor network switcher. After switcher reboot, phone can connect it.
Try Airplane mode on the phone, or switching WiFi on and off. Rebooting router helps too - but probably not an option at work.
It's the router/access point. Reboot that and all is good.
So I have a rather odd problem, I installed Nightmare ROM (4.3), and it seems to work great, with the exception that if I connect to wifi, all my other devices lose the wifi signal.
As soon as I turn off the wifi on my note, my laptop and desktop connect fine to the router.
Any ideas / suggestions?
I found this https://code.google.com/p/android/issues/detail?id=58493 but it has nothing informative in it.
I have several different devices connected to my wifi and dont have any issues. When I connect my Note 9 to the network it initially works fine. After being connected for a while my internet seems to go down. My phone shows that I am still connected to the network but says internet may not be available. All the other devices in my home lose internet connection as well. I can't get back on to the internet until I power cycle my router. Sometimes it will happen immediately after connecting my phone and sometimes everything will work for a while before going down. It has never happened when the wifi on my Note 9 is off. It's pretty frustrating and I haven't been able to find solutions. Anyone got any ideas or had a similar experience?

Sometimes, the router's memory becomes full and needs flushing in order to work properly.
If the router needs rebooting often or you find yourself unplugging your modem every few days, you might need to request a new modem from your ISP ( if they provided it ) or purchase a new router.
Hay guys,
I am really at a loss, so I hope you can help me here.
WiFi on my phone works totally fine until I install the EMUI Update 10.0.0.185 (and later).
From that point on, I can't use my WiFi at all. The Phone is still showing me a list of all the available Networks, but If I want to connect to one of these, the phone's WiFi turns off by itself. Just du turn itself on again a few seconds later... and turning off again eventually.
This happens to all of the WiFi networks, I've tried. Also I can't setup a WiFi hotspot anymore or use wireless display feature.
If I reset my phone to the EMUI-Version it came with, everything works flawless.
Any idea, what could cause the problem?
