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?
I flashed the official Slim-n7000-4.3.build.2.2-OFFICIAL-1745 from slimsroms.net
The rom seems excellent and is pretty fast but every other day or so I seem to lose my data connection. the H or the 3G symbol will vanish and i dont get any data coming through.
i cant still make and receive calls , just no data.
If i reboot the phone i get 3G back straight away.
When i lose the data connection i tried toggling "Data Enabled" under Mobile Network Settings but it does not fix the problem, i need to reboot to get it going again
Anyone seen this?
Hi guys,
on my xt1068 (5.0.2 stock, no root, locked bootloader), 3g data always hangs when I'm travelling (e.g. Home -> Work). The only solution is to cycle the connection....
When I'm at home it works like a charm, even for an entire weekend
The mobile data icon remains "on", with full bars and H/3g symbol...but I cannot send or receive data.
Any ideas? As you understand this is really annoying. :silly:
Thanks.

I have the same problem but not all the time and I'm still on 4.4.4, I leave the house therefore disconnecting from WiFi sometimes 3G doesn't 'pickup' esp. if I turn off WiFi after it has moved out of range, like you it displays 3G or H but no data can be sent, the only way to fix it is rebooting the device.
Do you turn off WiFi manually after leaving the house? as mine only seems to do it if I do that.

Hmm, I always leave the WiFi on. I'm going back home atm and I just switched it off. Let's see if 3g stays active...(even if it would be the exact opposite behaviour than yours)
Thanks for the tip, I'll keep you posted.
Hi all , I have the tab s2 813 model , I keep getting the notification of " connected to WiFi " on the screen whilst watching streams on my tablet then it cuts the stream off and I have to reconnect , its like it's dropped wifi and reconnected , anyone else have this problem , many thanks .
I have a 8 inch variant with marshmallow amd particular in airplane mode the wifi connection is flickering like you described. In radio mode the wifi is stable. Model no is SM-T719
When you say Radio mode do you mean just wifi

I mean the opposite to airplane mode, you know like normal phone mode (LTE /4G).
Ah right , mines wifi version only , I've actually got it on air plane mode now so I'll see how it goes , thanks
Currently no big issues anymore. Looks like Wifi on airplane far more stable. Dont know why..
Same with me , turned off air plane mode and got " connected to WiFi " notification flashing up regularly , put back in air plane mode and seems way better , weird eh
Thanks for the heads up about putting it in air plane mode , didn't even think about doing that , cheers , you're a star
Keep your hands out of the SM-T719 Galaxy tab S2 variant.
I bought one for Christmas, 2 days later I replace it in the store, and then I replaced it again by a third one. BUT... the third one is no better.
All start in the setting up phase, for the first time, since the device has difficulties to connect to google and Samsung servers. Then comes the first firmware update where the download process stops without reason countless times. I have to turn WiFi off and on to be able to proceed. Finally using Playstore and mainly the "Galaxy Apps" application I get too many errors about java.net.... address unreached, no route, server fail, no internet connection make sure WiFi or cellular data is on.
The problem seems not to be in the WiFi losing connection, the WiFi is always at maximum or medium, but somehow the internet access is lost, and when lost is not recoverable by the app, unless I completely close the app, turn WiFi off and on... sometimes I need also to restart the device. Unacceptable behavior.
Now, by Samsung advice, I'm going to leave it in a Samsung repair center, and since I'm not convinced that they will solve the problem at all, because the problem is random and even if they change the board the problem is in the guts/design or whatever... of the device, I'm going to return it to the store and get the money back.
Since i put mine in airplane mode the wi-fi notifications have stopped and never had any other issues with it , mines an sm-t813 , think it's just that it's the 9.7 rather than 8 inch

I have the same issue with my two SM-T813.
The wifi keep disconnecting and reconnecting randomly on 2.4ghz wifi connection. When this happen, a toast notification appears saying you're connected on your wifi. This happen to me on every router i'v tried with many firmwares.
No issue on 5ghz, see this https://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=3414419
Wow , thanks for the link , i couldn't find that link when i first posted , mines been fine with airplane mode on , no drop outs or " WiFi connected " notifications so I'll leave it alone unless Samsung update it but can't see it happening tbh

OK, but that behavior of your device is unacceptable... having to keep your device forever in airplane mode....
As far as I can tell about mine SM-T719, WiFi is never lost, there is NO notifications about the the system loosing WiFi or reconnect to WiFi, and I can see that WiFi is always on maximum. However, the internet access drops randomly and the application accessing internet cannot recovery from it without turn WiFi off and on again. But the WiFi signal keeps on and well during the occurrence. How odd is that?
My WiFi signal was always showing strong but when watching a stream on my tablet the notification would pop up and the stream would go off then I'd have to reconnect
Wifi dropout

I have a new tab S2 SM-T713. I've had it for about a month now and when I'm downloading apps the Wi-Fi drops to zero and won't pick back up without restarting the Wi-Fi. Does it constantly no matter what network I'm on. At first it started with the Wi-Fi switch not staying on so I flashed a permissive kernel and that gave me the Wi-Fi but it has done that ever since no matter which kernel I use or which ROM I use even stock ROM.
Try putting it in airplane mode and turn WiFi back on , see if that helps
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?
