Wifi turning off by itself - Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Running the standard 2.3.3 rom.
After using the wifi at home, then popping out somewhere with the phone, when I come back home again the phone doesn't detect the wifi as it's switched off the wifi on the phone for some reason and I need to turn it on manually. I've changed the wifi sleep policy from 'when screen turns off' to 'never', but it still switches off the wifi.
It's my wifes phone, my Galaxy S2 works fine?
Can't see any similar posts - any suggestions, thanks.

Reboot your phone !anfter rebooting if the problem still exists then upgrade to 2.3.4 as 2.3.3 has some wi_fi problems.

[Q] Fixing Wi-fi without reformatting?

Hey, in the last few weeks I've run into a very annoying bug on my phone. Wi-fi turns itself off after about 2 minutes. It doesn't actually "turn itself off" in the phone - and by that I mean that the wifi icon is still there, and I can see the signal strength, but the internet won't work.
In order to fix it, I have to turn the wifi off and then on again.
I've tried using the Wifi Fixer application, but it doesn't help. It can't seem to detect when I lose my internet connection.
I've also troubleshooted it, checking that it occurs on different routers/types of networks.
I'm sure it's a problem with my phone, but I dont really want to reformat my phone until Froyo comes (since I don't want to have to install all my apps twice).
Is there any solution to this? ;z
I'm on stock rom, JF3, with OCLF.
I have the same problem with my phone. My Wi-Fi at home works just fine, but when I go to my brother's house, I seem to occasionally lose internet connection even though it shows that it's still connected to the Wi-Fi. I have stock Bell ROM with OCLF by RyanZA. Oh, and to fix it I simply turn Wi-Fi off, and then on, and it starts working again.
Bump :x
Anyone have a solution?

Wifi status shown as "error"

Experiencing a strange issue with my wifi. I have wifi related profiles set up on tasker, so the wifi turns on every 10 minutes to scan for ssids and then turns back off. It activates different sound settings depending on whether it sees my work wifi or home wifi (and automatically turns on and connects to home network)
About once a day when I'm at work I notice that my work sound profile turns off, and when I go into settings\wireless it shows "error" underneath wifi (where it would ordinarily show "turning on" etc.)
Generally I can just manually turn wifi back on and then everything works as normal again, but a few times I have had to reboot the phone to get wifi to turn on. I have no problem connecting to networks and seem to stay connected just fine once I'm on a network but it is frustrating to have to go in and do this manually almost every day. Plus if my work sound profile gets disabled at the wrong time it could result in my phone ringing during a meeting, which would be very bad.
I'm running cognition beta7 froyo. If anyone has any insight about possible solutions or things I could explore, I'd appreciate it.

I had the same problems on froyo. So I'm guessing that's the cause.
Now I'm on Eclair and haven't noticed it yet.
I noticed something like this happen to me one time on eclair, but the problem has definitely become much worse since moving to ji6.
Were you running ji6 or a cognition
Rom as well? I wonder if one of the JPM roms will suffer from this issue...

I had that problem on both stock JI6 and Cog 2.2 beta 6 and beta 7
I'm also having the issue on tayutama's jpm rom with reotiented kernel.
I hate to go back to eclair but the wifi based location profiles are a huge feature for me...

Custom Rom (2.3) have this kind issues. If you want WIFI without any problem. you should use base on V10D 2.2 ROM.
I have the same problem with Wifi turning of itself, not only when going to sleep mode, but sometimes even when I'm using the phone. Have only tried different 2.2 roms...
Does anyone know what causes this? And is there any solution?
It's happening like every 15'th minute...really irritating...
I use v10c version and I have same problem...after airplane mode wifi doesn`t work ans I hav to restar phone!

Hi,
I am having also this irritating issue, after sleep, the Wifi is not connecting and in the setting the connection to my router is disable.
I am not using any custom rom, although the very first day when i try to update the phone through LG update, it got loop boot problem so i did the Nvflash but with stock 1.0d Rom.
Please anyone has any solution to it ? it is very annoying
Thanks
I'm also having this issue. I just have to enable/disbale wifi each time to get it re-connect again.
I turned SSID broadcast ON, on my home network, and now I dont have this WiFi problem anymore..
i also have ssid broadcast turned on, but i still have this problem, also on other networks not owned by me

[Q] WiFi policy

Hi,
Does anybody here have issues with WiFi policy in Options? I mean I set it to turn off wifi weh never the phone is on sleep( locked) and yet after 30minutes when I lokk to my phone I see that wifi was on all the time. I also confirm my theory wen I go to power and history and see that wifi was actually ON all the time. In other words: My phone ignores wifi sleep policy! My phone is running latest Version of OS and uses stock ROM
I am having a similar problem. I turn WiFi off and mobile data off and yet when I turn on screen just to check the time WiFi is back on. It's a slightly different issue but relates to WiFi no doing as it is told. I'm on 4.1.2.

Lets hope somebody comes up with good suggestion or solution

[Q] Phone switches on when on internet

I am using samsung galaxy note GTN7000 with CWM 10.1.3. Recently i got into a weird issue of shutdown. Phone switches off automatically after sometime when i am using internet through wifi or 3g. But if the charger is plugged in it will not shut down. Also it does not shut down if internet is not in use i.e. wifi is off and mobile data is disabled. I tried changing ROMs, went back to stock ROM but problem still persists.

Click to expand...
Click to collapse
Try to use the camera with flash and check if the phone shuts down... Could be issue with battery.
