The phone bricked during an OTA so I had to take it to an AT&T Service Center who blasted the phone and installed the latest version, all seemed well until I got home.
WIFI will not switch on the WIFI icon goes green and the slider goes over but nothing. If you clean and then go back to the WIFI it reports off and the slider will not move to ON.
I factory reset the device in case it was something weird but no - cannot enable WIFI.
Anyone have any ideas on how to resolve this or is it back to the store for me and a defective phone
Thanks for any advice offered.

Maybe it is a device problem if no-one else has experienced this?
What country do you live?? Is very known that the Samsung Galaxy has wifi problems with some countries and carriers, I made an apk to solve this, but your phone need to be rooted...

Hopefully someone can help me out here.
I checked this morning to see if there was an update through kies for my bell vibrant(i9000), and lo and behold there was. Apparently it was just released yesterday as I was told by Bell technical support later on. I went ahead and updated the firmware and now i have no data connection. I still have phone service, just no data. Bell has concluded that my phone must now be sent in for repair, but i am wondering if anyone has any suggestions on what else i could try. Wi-fi is off, airplane mode is off, data network mode is on, and i have done a complete wipe of all data on the phone.
Anyone have any ideas, and has anyone else updated?

I did try the suggestion in your link but unfortunately it didnt work. Strangely after i reset the apn to default again i had the data indicator pop up for a about a minute, only to go off again. It also popped up a couple more times, but did not stay on for more then a few seconds. I'm starting to think something is actually wrong with the hardware itself.
Thanks anyways though.
Hello All,
I got a strange problem here. Whenever I turn my Wifi on and lock the screen, the network connection is lost and not able to make/receive calls. Even if I turn off the Wifi, the network is lost and the only way is to restart the phone to get it normal. I have tried soft reset/hard reset and nothing works. I have not rooted the phone and its a stock one running on 2.3.4 with version V20e. Could this be an android issue or some kind of hardware failure?
Also, I am not on 3G and work on Edge (2G). Sometimes I lose my data connection also and I have restart the phone to restore the data connection too - "E" symbol on top of the phone changes to "G".

If I were you, and if the phone is still under warranty, I would send it back for a replacement. Check the IMEI before you send it and when you get it back. Another user here in XDA has said that the first time around they just do a software reset and send it back. Then you send it back again reporting the same issue and then they replace it.
Or you can try flashing a custom ROM and there's a big chance the problem will go away. But if it doesn't then you'll have to put it back in factory condition and it might not be so easy.
Hi Team,
I have heard lot about this forum and hope to get some gud suggestions from you guys.
I bought my Samsung Galaxy ace GT-S5830 with android 2.3.6 Gingerbread OS 6 months back but slowly I started facing few problems when my friends noticed and told me that your phone sometimes says switch off.
I also realized that sometimes even if the airtel network is there still i get an error message that mobile network not available I had to switch off the phone to get it normal.
Again people text me but it goes on pending and gets delivered after hours. I showed this problem to the service center they flashed my mobile but the problem persist I also tried changing my sim card but still all in vain. Now i am literally fed up with this phone.
Please assist me I dont know wat to do :crying:
Note: The phone is not rooted.
Thank you
err, are you sure this is because of the phone..? not the network..? because i never face any of the problems you mention..
may be you should try flashing stock rom with newest baseband for your region, find it on sammobile..

He said the service centre guys reflashed the rom. but agree that the sms thing could be network problem.
Faulty battery/pins (Switch offs)
Faulty hardware (Antenna?)
That's all I can identify.
Hi Guys !!!
Thanks for sharing your views
@demiorkan
The mobile automatically does not gets switched off but i need to do it manually as it keeps on prompting the error message "Mobile network not available" though I can see full network on my mobile.
I would really appreciate if I get any suggestions from your side.
Let me know if any more information is required.
If you dont mind you could try flashing another stock rom and see if that works out. If it did not, then it's probably a hardware problem OR the network (as mentioned). Try your SIM card on another phone as well, that should prove if there is problem with the network or not.
Mostly it might be a firmware problem. Service center might not have flashed a new firmware but simply wiped and gave back. (can't be sure on that). So I recommend on using ODIN and flash new firmware. Google is your best friend on this.
Secondly about the network, Turn on flight mode once and turn it off, you'll get the signal. You can even do some debugging by going to the testing menu (*#*#4636#*#*) and toggle the radio and the preferred connection type and stuff. But if the place where you are is such that you get low signal, then don't try any things on phone as it's ultimately the network problem. Trust Me, the place where I stay, I rarely get proper reception and Even I'm on the same network. Flight Mode trick saves the unnecessary reboot.
I finally decided to upgrade from my Nexus 4 to a Z1, and I moved my Three UK contract SIM into the new Z1, it installed the internet & MMS settings and it was fine. But all of a sudden completely random the speeds will drop, the ping will go into the 800s and I can't really load anything on my device.
I'm really not sure what the issue is, whether it's a problem with the drivers, a problem with the actual antenna or if it's just an issue with the software.
I've just tried a factory reset and I'm still getting the same issues, it will be fine most of the time and then just deteriorate until I just can't load anything. The only thing that seems to fix this is a reboot or turning off mobile data and turning it back on again. Obviously this isn't acceptable when I've just paid this amount of money for the phone.
Does anyone have any ideas? I don't want to flash another ROM in case I do actually send it back because won't it void the warranty? If not, how do I go back to stock if I have flashed another ROM?
When putting the SIM back in my Nexus 4, there's no issues at all as there wasn't when I used it before.
I'm really lost, I love this phone but it seems I may have to send it back... Help appreciated!
Contact Call Center of your Provider an tell them to give you the right settings for internet and mms, the settings installed automatically on Z1 not always work. They will send you an sms with the installation. I had similar problem solved with the sms.
Hi
I have been having issues with my Note8. It loses the cellular network periodically, and doesnt acquire it back. A reboot is required to get the network back but then doesnt last long. I have tried most everything. Listed in order
1. Reseating the Sim / Removing the SD card to check if that was an issue
2. Switching network from 4G to 3G to see if that was the issue
3. Factory reset a few times, including once while not installing apps and letting the phone run with less apps
4. Changing SIMs
5. Changing SIM tray with an S8
6. Using another network sim card
7. Running the phone in Safe mode.
I have exhausted everything that I can have done. Any other thoughts or suggestions?
Phone is within warranty so I can get it fixed, but the issue is that I live in a different country now and they will charge to just take a look at the phone.
Side effect is that while hunting for the network, the phone gets hot and runs down the battery.
I am hoping that there might be a software issue, as the phone does connect to the network for a while before losing connection.
Any help would be much appreciated.
Thanks a lot.
It looks like you have done all of the obvious stuff - it's starting to sound like a hardware fault to me.
Thanks! My worst fear unfortunately.
Was hoping someone might have a software solution or something else which I could try but...
