Anyone else having major issues with wi-fi connectivity?

Just purchased the Atrix HD yesterday and when standing only 10 feet away from my router it constantly connects and disconnects. So far this has been the only issue for me. Any hacks yet for better wi-fi strength?

i dont know if its called att wifi app or att hotspot app but i disabled att hotspot app and after that i never had any problem with wifi!! there is a Starbucks real close to my house and they have att hotspot so when ever i drive around it would connect to att hotspot and i would have hard time connecting to my home wifi!! just go to your apps option inside settings find att hotspot and disable it since you cannot uninstall this app!! it might help!!:good:

I had same problem. The wifi turns off 2 seconds after I turn the wifi on. I did factory reset. After the reset, it seems it solve the problem but I had other issues so I did an exchange since it was with in 14 days of the purchase. I don't have that problem with the new HD.
Try doing factory reset....

Factory reset performed.. issue still exists. Maybe my 2nd AHD will be better.

I'm having the exact same problem. Mine will connect for a period of time then just starts a wifi boot loop, as I would describe it. It tries to connect endlessly and won't unless I'm right next to the router. A factory reset didn't fix it either.

Hmm. Switching wifi frequency from auto to 2.4 only seems to have fixed it.

I never accepted the at&t wifi app agreement, so it was never running, but still had the same issue. It seems better now that its forced to 2.4ghz. I still have range issues. my Atrix 4G would show two bars of signal where the Atrix HD connects and disconnects constantly. Its like i have to be sitting right in front of the router to stay connected.

I wasn't having any issues last night after switching to 2.4 only. But when I woke up it was disconnected and wouldn't connect again til I was right by the router. Hopefully a software update fixes this issue.

I had this problem with the Atrix 2. Resetting my router solved the problem.

Wow, that's cool. Didn't move, switched to 2.4 only and my signal strength doubled and my speed seems noticeably better.
Now if this helps from oovoo and Skype constantly disconnecting life will be good. To be fair the inspire is also disconnecting at random too.

I had this problem as well - it dropped if my wi-fi was 2 bars or so, and it seemed to fluctuate. Tried the 2.4 only mode and it seemed to help a little, but I still lost connection frequently at only 2 bars. It would drop and look like wi-fi restarted and then connect again at 3 bars.

Disable AT&T Smart Wifi.

I took the phone back to costco and got a new one. The phone rep connected the new phone to his wifi. I walked to the other side of the warehouse and never lost connection. Came home and the phone has not disconnected once. Must have been a hardware issue.

I've been trying for hours to update to the EE firmware through Lies on my Windows 7 laptop, but the program just closes down after the " downloading update components " window.
I've tried googling this issue and it seems I'm not the only one experiencing it, but none of the possible solutions I've tried have made any difference.
I would appreciate any suggestions or advice, but I'm starting to consider the Odin method, which I've had no experience of using whatsoever.
Help!

I updated as well.
What problems are you experiencing with wifi and battery drain?
If anything the media storage on my phone seems better than my i9300 and wifi seems fine, unless you are referring to tethering which I have not tried

Here is the list of problems with wifi:
1. Connection is intermittent despite the setting to always on
2. Wifi range is bad compared to other phones in the same place connected to the same router
3. Connection is very slow compared to other devices
4. Even if it connects to the router, there is no Internet at times and that's a big problem in itself
5. Trying to connect to public hot spots is a waste of time
Battery drain is faster (4% per hour at least) despite disabling bloatware and switching of Google's hidden settings like location update etc.
By the way performed hard resets several times but no luck. Maybe the unit itself is faulty.

I would have thought so.
I have good wifi signal and tethering works as well. So it may be a faulty unit.

I have the exact same problem but you try and convince Orange that the phone is faulty and all they will do is offer to repair it
Well, after two failed repair attempts I'm considering legal action

According to samsung after 3 failed attempts to fix the phone they will give you a new handset

Thanks for the advice, I didn`t know that. I`m off to my local Samsung repair centre today to see what they say. Over the phone they said that if they agree it is faulty then they will simply replace it.

Good stuff. I have had experience with my i9300 already which has been sent twice to samsung repair. It takes a while but at least you get the job done. I don't trust mobile line providers as all they give is 14 days and they are supposed to give 28 but hey. What can I say.

Battery drain.
Turn off:
wifi,data and bluetooth during the day and only turn on when required.

Updated to 4.1.2 earlier today, multi-window seems like a good feature, however not many apps are supported. At first I manually searched for the update from my phone but it said I already had the latest software installed, but when I opened it through Kies I got the update notification.

Yes me too. Although I have to hate kies as its slow and sometimes sticky. Ill be going through odin from now on

[Q] wifi problem after update to jellybean 4.1.2

hey guys.
i got the new update of jellybean and i have a wifi issue now. It's stuck on obtaining ip address and after one minute of searching it says that the signal is to low to connect even tho i'm in the same room.
I've tried fixing the issue by resetting my wifi with no luck, even factory resting my phone with no luck either. I haven't put a new rom or changed any features on the phone.
please help.
phone info
make: samsung galaxy s3 4g
network: telstra
model: gt-i9305t
android version: 4.1.2

Im having same issue currently trying to get my handset replaced by three!! Im guessing its a common problem
Sent from my GT-I9305 using xda premium

I`ve had this problem with my phone from day one. Samsung have allegedly repaired it three times and Orange once. On the third attempt by Samsung they said they can`t replicate the problem.
I`ve had this problem on 4.1.1. Upgrading to 4.1.2 didn`t help

Try changing the WiFi region code in the advanced WiFi section

Try to forget it, then try again.

Try these tips
Wifi settings
open your box/modem 192.168.1.1 or 192.168.0.1 on your PC web browser
unable "automatic frequency or channel" on your wifi setting or try to change channel
check also if your Mac adress filter is enable. disable it
Wifi congestion by channel
Wipe Cache
Forget you network
cut the wifi
reboot your phone in Recovery Mode
wipe cache partition
Reboot
lauch wifi and connect to your network

Use the search!
And read this: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=36414076&postcount=31

I have a different issue with the wifi, it connects and reconnects several times in its own, did not have this problem before.

Try to flash a custom kernel like perseus <3

wifi problems after update to 4.1.2
Hi,
I found that saved profiles are randomly disabled and can be enabled using the following app "Wifi Profile manager". The app "Wifi Fixer" allows for monitering, reconnecting and logging the state of your Wifi connection. After seeing this I send an email to Samsung Netherlands. (that was today). Another work arround is to forget the network, reboot the device and try again. When searching the internet I also found this not to be device related. Many more devices have this problem after the recent update.
regards,
Robert

Every update seems to have it's own bugs, this is very annoying from Sony. I can get my Wi-Fi back by switching the WiFi off then back on from phone settings.
Mainly This and the Bluetooth bug is making me think about getting the s5 for my next upgrade.

With the nexus 6 coming up I may have to bite the bullet on that... If it shares any kind of life proofing the way Sony has gone of course. The waterproofing drew me to this to be honest... Lost to many devices because of accidents. (yay for having kids)
