Hi guys,
I have heard that this issue it has a fix, but for the life of me, I can not find it.
I'm watching videos on Youtube on wifi and after 30 secs ... the wifi connection drops and is NO WAY to get it up again neither by reboot, nor by closing youtube, ... nada. The only way to get the wifi connection up again is to restart the router.
Many guys said the issue is already fixed and told me to search ... but ... I haven't find any solution, so, please kindly help.
Thanks in advance1

Hi,
let me thank you for all the help you may give me.
The problem is i get stuck on obtaining ip address or the cell doesn't even try to connect automatically so i have to manually start the wifi connection to the network after turning on wifi.
The problem of my SGS not connecting automatically is rare, the first is not, it's actually quite often.
I looked through all the guides and sugestions but i couldn't find any permanent solution for this problem.
Note: I've used the AllShare app but sometimes even that doesn't work.
Thank you for all help
The same problem kept happening with me. Some of the fixes which I tried were
Change channel on router - didnt work for me
Use the allshare app first - worked
Set up a static ip in advanced settings - almost always worked
But I have found that I didnt have this problem with other routers, only mine, maybe because of a power problem with the router.
Many of baffling errors are usually caused by bad input power to devices.
Hope it helps
Thanks for the reply, the problem is that i use it alot on my university, where i can't do any changes to their router (or use static IP).
Also the AllShare app is indeed a fix, but only if used every time i think. I'll do some more testing, this problem is really annoying and that's a shame because it complicates the use of most of the smartphone capabilities.
So if anyone else as another solution i would be glad to hear it.
Also i'm on stock rom installed by my operator Vodafone (had the same problem on JPY).
Edit: After a very quick test, it seems that using Allshare once does work, but i had the impression that sometimes it would be needed more than once (even without rebooting). TY for the tip.
Update:
After some more tests i came to the conclusion that at home i need to use AllShare every time i want to connect to my network.
This seems to be a problem affecting several users of SGS, does anyone know the answer to this problem? Or at least an app that minimizes it?
It's quite bad and very frustrating. Thanks, for any and all help.
I had the same problem with stock Android 2.2.1 on 3 phones all Galaxy S. Dropping the packages on voip calling, internet was slow most of the time. I use a linksys wrt54g with dd-wrt, I never had problems with any other devices.
My problem was solved when I installed GingerReal. Also on Miui I didn't had any problems with the wifi connection.
Maybe is just the stock driver incompatibility with some devices.
Thanks for the reply,
I've only had bad experiences with flashing, last time i did everytime right and Odin just hanged, i almost had a serious problem in my hands.
Since this is probably the first and last good phone i'll ever have, i would really like not to kill it (also some people in my family would be very disappointed, it was a gift).
So any workaround? Sorry i'm so insistent but i think that are a lot more people interested in this. TY.
Hi all
I have a strange bug with wifi and i dont know if its karnel or baseband related.
After the phone is not restarted for 40+ hours i cant turn on wifi connection it says error in setting.
I have to restart the phone so the wifi will work for another 40 hours. I tried it with stock and neoblaze karnel, froyo and leaked ginger roms.
This bug is always there the only thing that i have the same is the baseband 622.
tnx in advance
Sorry to hear you have this issue, I have it as well.
V10d an 725BB (which is supposed to fix this error). I have to restart the phone every 100 hours uf uptime.
Will wait for the GB update if not, it is going back to service.
Regards
I have the v20e leaked and its the same as froyo. I think its a karnel issue and all the stock and modified karnels have the same issue.

Let me guess: The lease time on the networks DHCP-server is 48 hours? If that's the case there's a write-up here: http://code.google.com/p/android/issues/detail?id=11236
Short version: A bug in Android itself; not renewing the lease properly if the DHCP-server doesn't send a server ID. Continues to ask for renewals and rejecting the DHCP-offers, and sooner or later getting kicked off the network for excessive requests. (and a few other things.)
Same here. Doesn't matter what ROM/BB/RIL I'm using. Wifi fails like clockwork after about 70 hours of up-time. I'm surprised this issue isn't more widely reported. Perhaps most people got fed up by the SODs so they simply reboot everyday?
And no, it has nothing to do with DHCP. The hardware just refuses to be switched on past a certain point. And it doesn't seem to matter how many times you've toggled it previously. It's likely to be a driver issue.

Should be easy enough to test. Enter your wifi-settings and choose a static ip-address which is valid, but outside the dhcp-scope of your dhcp-server. If it still keels over at said time, then sure, it has nothing to do with dhcp. If it doesn't... (remember to reboot after choosing a static ip, as one of the consequences of the bug is that the phone keeps using ip-adresses it's no longer authorized to use until the next reboot.)
Its not the dhcp i know that much im an it manager working for internet provider. The wifi does not turn on i cant even search for network. Its says error starting wireless. U cant turn the wifi on untill u reboot the phone.

Fine. I wish you good luck in solving your problem.
Same problem here... V10c.
It's not a problem in my network, my tablet, notebook and last phone (Nokia) never had problems with my home wireless network.
When I try to activate the Wi-Fi I just get the error status, I have to restart the phone to bring things back to normal.
Also, I don't leave the phone Wi-Fi on all the time, I turn on only when I need.
Finally decided I have had enough of this (and this too!) and followed this guide to automatically reboot my P990 daily.

Before, I have wifi error randomly (MCR FR17 or 18 maybe), sometimes it can't turned on (error), only reboot can fix it.
But after I use FR19 and now Topogigi, never have that issue anymore.
Ive noticed this error only happens after i recharge my phone. I think im gona flash 0725 baseband and test it.
0725 on my phone, no wifi problems. but dont think it is releated.
I have the same issue but I think I can narrow it down a little, I'm on 0405 BB, will see if it changes after I update to 725 and MoDaCo Gr3.
Anyway here's the deal. I realised the "Wifi error" appears only when you have Wifi turned off for most of the time. It starts after about 30-35 hours of uptime with wifi off. If you have wifi on for most of the time, it will work normally, as soon as you turn it off the "counting" starts. When you reach a total of about 30-35 hours of wifi off, it won't turn on with the dreaded "wifi error" message. After that there are times it does start but rarely. I also noticed that as the "wifi off" time increases it takes longer and longer for the wifi to turn on. After restart it takes about 1-2 seconds. After 15-20 hours of "wifi off" time, it takes 5-6 seconds. Looks like if wifi doesn't start in 10 seconds the OS will automatically declare it an Error. I tried to do a logcat and only thing I got was something about wireless.ko not reachable or smth like that. It's almost like there's a memory leak or smth in the baseband that is triggered only when the wifi is off. Doubt it's something like that but the description itself fits.
It's pretty annoying. I try to keep the wifi active for most of the time but it consumes battery when I'm outside (constant scanning). I would be grateful if someone else could look into this problem cause I doubt it's a hardware issue. I'm updating to Gr3 and BB725 next week so I'll let you know how it goes.
I have the wifi error too and while I used to reboot, I have found another workabout that doesn't require reboot. That is to switch on airplane mode. On wifi. Off airplane. On wifi. Wifi will normally connect after 1 or two such cycles.
Turned off WiFi today so I can test your method. It will take another 24 hours for the "WiFi Error" to appear. Hope this helps although I've already tried Airplane Mode and similar stuff. Unfortunately it doesn't help much if I have Tasker to turn on WiFi.
I tried you solution and it only worked when I first got the "Wifi Error". After some 8 further hours it doesn't help any more. "Wifi Error" started late last night. Airplane switching helped then (but also did multiple On-Off on Wifi). But this morning (I left it on 3G while it was charging just to test further) it didn't help anymore. :/ We'll see if new BB and ROM changes anything.
Hello.
I've tryed many ROMs that are here in xda: Froyobread, GingerDX, GingerXperia, kuyaDROID, xGin, etc... And now I am using Stornmix with stock kernel.
But in all this ROMs I've had always the same problem: wi-fi.
My wi-fi connection works good during 1 or 2 minutes. Then it stops working and I can't use the browser nor the market or other app that uses internet connection.
When I turn off and on again the Wi-fi, the internet connection comes back good, but the same happens after few time.
I even tryed 1 wi-fi fix that i've found here, but didn't solve my problem.
Have you guys experienced this problem too?
Any clue how to solve it?

It is already that way.
Always have been.
Delete the remembered connections.Sometimes too much of them cause problems.
There's a compatibility issue with WPA-AES encryption. It's been discussed here and somewhere else (official SE forum i think). Not much to do about it...

Scratch the "AES" and make it "EAP" ...
IF AES would be a problem I think no one of us could connect to their access points as WPA/2 actually uses AES for encryption ...

I had a similar problem with GDX back in the days of v012 onwards. The WiFi connection wouldn't completely die but only go through a disconnect/reconnect loop every 2-5 minutes (unless I used "Wifi Static" to set a static IP configuration for my access point).
I solved the "disconnect/reconnect loop while using DHCP" problem by switching to another WiFi channel (my Access Point automatically determined channel 1 to be the best choice ... I later on switched to channel 11 and the problems fixed itself) - sounds weird, but worked.
You may give it a try.
On the other hand we already had weird WiFi problems which really didn't go away unless one flashed back to stock (where the WiFi suddenly worked flawlessly again) and changed over to the custom ROM again from there.

Thank you for your help, I'll try that and see if it improves my wi-fi.
And yes, as I can remember, it worked nice with the stock rom.
Hi,
I'm facing this problem since 1-2 months which is really annoying:
I dont get Hangout, Instagram, Gmail, Whatsapp.. Notifications/Updates when I'm connected at my home WLAN. It's working everywhere else fine. I "forgot" the network on my Nexus 6 (5.1.1), resetted my modem from my ISP AND also bought and installed a new WLAN Router (Airport Extreme). Nothing helped.
My chromecast also stopped working and I cant connect it - also working fine at other locations/networks!
Does anybody know this problem and how to fix it? Would be awesome <3
Cheers
It really does sound like the router, but seems odd that the issue persists after replacing it.
Hi. I have a problem with my Mi 8 SE.
I have 16mbps internet connection stably receiving from my iss.For a long time I aware of this issue but didnt ignore.
When I get speed test on Mi 8 SE it gets 12 mbps.While watching youtube surfing twitter or downloading smth from Gplay I realize that my speed is not normal.I tried another phone in same wifi downloading is faster than Mi 8 SE.
I have no problem on mobile internet.But in wifi situation is really boring.Dont know is there anyone suffering from this. What is the problem? How can I fix it?
Edit
While I was downloading Pubg connection speed is 451k/s. Phone gets on speed test 12 mbps..
Can anyone help me?
Edit:
Guys I found a solution for this problem.Open Airplane mode on your phone and try to download smth you will see it return to normal speed.Then you can off airplane mode and go ahead.
