DBT Germany is Unbranded and works well

Updated to the new firmware via Kies. Looks like it didn't address problems with wifi and battery drain.

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

FIrstly I do know what you are talking about, and I suggest if you want help then don't be a smart ass.
This seems to be a problem until you sucessfully connect to any network, I had to fresh reboot my router before I could connect to it, did exactly as you explain, and exactly what others talk about in the threads. For me however, once I was able to finally establish a clean connection to any WIFI network from that point on it was fine, bad signal strength but didn't constantly switch, and then finally give you a message saying authenication required.
In addition to this, I followed the following guides/fixes and either of these two work. You need to ROOT your phone though.

I did that already o_o
Sent from my C6602 using Tapatalk 2

When I've seen this occur, it is generally as the wifi isn't in range or barely in range, or I'm having an issue on my router. The wifi strength on an Xperia Z is pretty weak. I ended up buying a new wifi router for home it was so bad, and has been a lot better. But I did have this same behaviour when it was having trouble connecting.
When you are trying to connect, is the signal strength it is showing 4 bars, or is it low? Or varying a lot?

I'm next to the router and the signal is almost full !!
But it keep on saying obtaining IP address then it disappear
Although another devices are connected to the same router without any problems

Interesting that you seem to think that it is the phone straight away, probably not, very likely to be other wifi networks in your area affecting your signal on the router. I no that the signal is not the greatest but these sort of things are likely to affect it more.

Wifi is driving me crazy please help

Hello everyone I tried searching before posting this but I couldn't really find any good info
Ive stock 4,3 not rooted and I've no idea about my bootloader but most probably locked
I'm having a sudden Wifi disconnect like each 20 minutes and when I don't have a disconnect the net is terribly slow!
I'm wondering anyone else having same troubles or it's just my bad luck...

I had problem with my wifi on android 4.2.2. Problems were likely like yours. Yesterday i have flashed my phone to stock notbranded android 4.3 and it works like charm. Maybe you should think about also updating your phone with this ROM ?

Stupid question but is could it be a router problem, since you also had problems with other versions? Or do you have this problem with other wifi networks too?

Yes sometimes I'm having the same problem with different router

Hello,
Since the official update to Android 4.3 I also get issues with wlan when I am at work.
It might connect normally at first
But after some time I notice that I do not longer get data over it and most of the time it does no longer find the wlan in the settings, everyone else however can still connect fine, however most people are using iPhones but Even a galaxy s3 had no issues so it is no issue with the access point.
I also had it 2 times that I couldn't even disable wlan anymore (active again after reopening the settings)
Funny thing is that I have no issues with my home wlan that is a fritzbox.
On android 4.2.2 I never had an issue.
Everything stock, no root.
I am using a smartwatch 2. Not sure why it got mentioned here.

Check the router for a seeing that users 2 channels at once to increase bandwidth (not a dual broadcast setting for n and g or 2.4 and 5GHz). I have seen this problem on several android phones when enabled.
