I accidently turned off my browser bar when a pop-up intruded an email I was typing. I have no idea what the browser bar setting is but I cannot connect to any wifi network now. So I open up settings and clicked on the browser bar tab and it fc's settings every time. I tried a reboot, and clearing cache in recovery but it still won't let me turn the browser bar on. Any ideas here?
Not that I was at all impressed with the wifi capabilities on this device. My connectivity has been nothing short of pathetic and I've followed every rumored fix to no avail. I think I'm ready to try a factory data reset before my 14 days are up.
Again, any help is appreciated.

Exact same issue here.
This phone has the best WiFi I have had with any phone. There is a dead spot at my work wifi that all phones I have had would lose connection. So far, I have yet to lose connection with my 3 there.

Thanks mate, I dunno why it was grayed out 1st time around.

It's very strange that the browser bar would have any effect on wifi connectivity to begin with. I've had it disabled for a while and haven't had any wifi problems.
Samsung has a bunch of performance/bug issues they seriously need to iron out. It's almost like they don't beta test these devices before they churn them out.

I've been having issues loading pagegs with the XDA-Developers app when I use it via wifi. Sometimes it works, but most of the time it doesn't. I'll get an error message that states "no route to host". If I open my browser I can access the web, but the app will only work again if I turn wifi off and then it on again. This will correct the issue for only a short while. I have no issue using the app via a 3g connection. Does anybody else have this issue with your hero using the app?

I get that error if I lose my wifi signal. It does not switch to 3G instantly. I usually just tap the wifi off and back on from my notification powerbar (or just off if I think I'm too far from my router). Wait a couple seconds and menu > refresh xda app.

No, xda-developers website works fine over wifi via the browser. I'm not sure what it really is. It could be a signal issue, but that doesn't explain why I can access data via the browser. Confusing... very confusing...
So i have had the phone for a couple of days and recently i have been having connection problems. My data will stop working even though i have bars and the 4g lte sign is up. I have to restart my phone to get my data back connected. Not even going to settings and turning the data toggle on and off works. Any ideas

Id call att for now and see what they say...
Toggle Airplane Mode. Works for me. I have the same issue.
airplane doesn't works all times.. i prefer suspend the phone for a few seconds..
Are you using any smart actions that affect your data connection? I had the same problem before I realized that the phone automatically turned off data when connected to WiFi. I had set up a smart action to do it as well, which I think confused the device and wouldn't connect to 4G. I had to factory reset to fix it. Left smart actions out of the loop, and haven't had a problem since.
Deep rooted in the mAtrix HD...

Yea i tried the airplane mode and nothing. I had smart actions on but then i turned them off and still have yhe problems. I think im just going to factory reset and see if it fixes the problem. The problem usually happens when im at school where in my classes i get no reception. And after class i get the bars but still wont get data and then i restart my phone and then i get the flood of notifications.

This is exactly what happens to me..
could also be lte problems... as att deploys new towers and works on em sometimes you'll have problems for no reason... which is why i would try to call att or do a factory reset, is all i can think of
I had to factory reset my atrix. I dont use the smart actions anymore and that solved my problem

Yea, I stopped using also the smart actions as they seems more stupid than smart
I will have to disagree with you, once setup properly the smart actions are great. Never had a single issue with connectivity.

Is anyone getting the wifi problems that the other versions of the Note 3 are getting? Preferably when it says the network was disconnected for being too slow or something like that? I know it happens on the T-Mobile, Verizon, and International versions.

Mine doesn't disconnect but it says wifi signal is unstable, then I looked in settings when this happens and it says wifi signal strength VERY STRONG, I'm sitting 10' from my router and I know damn well the the signal is strong as it says 72mbps. Lots of issues with wifi signals are popping up in the N3 sections, not good.
Yep, same as Quickvic30

Go to wifi advanced settings and uncheck Auto Network Switch. It appears the phone will "test" the speed of the wifi network to your 4g and picks which is faster.

Hey all,
I realized that the wireless issues were all where there are at least access points broadcasting the same network. The signal indicator flickers back and forth between solid and weak, and I think the wireless manager is jumping back and forth instead of sticking with the stronger one. I installed one"WiFi Manager" from Play store and the connection is more solid. I haven't rooted my device yet, so this may be the best answer until a patch shows up.
Let me know if it works,

Hello I was having this problem I had to remove my ad stop program and everything starting working normal again adblockplus to be exact but that fixed issues with mms messages and the wifi.
Yes- nothing but problems with wifi dropping and reporting as slow/unstable. Rooted on AT&T MI1. Various AP's, not specific to any one location. Basically renders wifi useless.

Yall- this issue has been bugging the hell out of me. Finally tried something I found buried in a few other forums that immediately fixed the spotty connect/disconnect and wifi data stalling errors.
Enter into the service configuration mode by dialing *#0011# and hit the menu key- touch "wifi" and turn off "wifi power saving". Reboot. After having tried everything else I was skeptical but I can confirm (in my case) it worked like a charm!
Hope it helps someone else.

Another possible fix for you guys.. go into wifi in settings..hit menu then click advanced. Inside advanced make sure to uncheck auto network switch. Reboot and voila.

I've been using that method for most of the day, and I've noticed some good results with WiFi. Unsure how it's going to affect battery life yet though lol
auto-network switch
I didn't have to reboot, but disabling the auto network switch did help. I kept getting the 'unstable messages', and I finally had to click the "don't show this again" button and hit 'cancel' so that the OS would stop trying to help my be re-enabling the auto network switch. So, the question is, is this just #LTE2fastprobs, or are there real wireless n/ac issues that make this phone less than desirable?

Try to remove the settings.
Go to WiFi. tap the wifi your trying to connect to, select Forget.
Then try to re-enter the password.
If that fails try to restart router.
If that fails we will need more info.
Nothing is working, my sister has an iPhone and it works but for me it is stuck at authenticating then says disconnected because of poor connection but my router is right next to me.

I had this issue last week and was caused by the app Tasker. Are you using Tasker for any profile involving wifi?
I am using tasker but I don't think for any WiFi applications I will check and get back to you.
Sent from my HTC One using xda app-developers app
Do you by any chance have fast boot enabled?
If so disable that, power cycle the phone. Remove the current WiFI info by selecting Forget (from my original post) and then try it..
You can find the fastboot option under Settings > Power
Were there any changes to the wifi with KitKat?
I'm unable to connect to my home network. I get the "wifi is unavailable" notification and in the list the networks is "out of range" although the signal is excellent.
I've tried everything.
Changing channels, resetting the router, factory reset to my phone, changing various wifi parameters, trying to set a static IP.
I'm frustrated as I cannot connect to my own wifi, whereas I didn't have any problems prior to the update.

might worth a try disabling tasker and rebooting. Tasker seems to have issue with the M7 for some users. Every times I use tasker, I'm having this exact same issue with my wifi.
Fast boot isn't on and my tasker doesn't have any WiFi tasks.I'll try forgetting network again but I've done it a dozen times.

Well I guess lets go through the basics first...Are you sure that WiFi is on? Have you restarted your phone? Have you performed a factory reset?
Are the ssid's your searching for "hidden" ssid's?
If I set my home Wi-Fi router to broadcast ssid, I see it. If I set it to hidden, I can't see it.
This is a known problem. I have it; I thought it was my fault for deleting too many apk's. Then a girl came along with unrooted stock phone and said she had it.
use app from play store to temporarily fix problem
My Note 3 drops WiFi at my home saying the signal its not strong, but my computer and the other phones can connect. I have to turn off cellular data to get it to connect.
