If everything else fails... hard reset. But I would try a few soft resets first, just to make sure. What are you running? (rom)

Hey all,
I somehow managed to screw up my Wi-Fi so it now appears to be turned on, even though it's not. The problem is, I can't turn it on..or off. Comm manager won't work. The Connections icon on the top bar of the today screen shows it as on and connected, when I click the icon the big button seems to let me turn the Wifi off, but when I hide the panel and show it again, it stays the same as before. And the other text on the panel writes "Turn Wi-Fi On". Umm..the last few sentences might look a bit confusing..well I have the Laurentius WM6 ROM (AKU 0.5 update 1 I think) so apart from the standard Turn Wi-Fi On/Off text (that looks like an internet link ), there's also a big button serving the same purpose. And simply put, the button looks as if the Wi-Fi was on, and the "link" as if it was off. I hope you get what I'm trying to say here Anyway, I tried hard-reseting the device and everything got fine again, until I restored my full backup (created by Sprite Backup 5 about a minute before the hard reseting). After that, the WiFi problem is back. Anyone got an idea what it could be caused by or what to do to get rid of it please?
Many thanks, Longlife
Well, the problem is solved, dunno how it happened but now everything works just fine Sorry for bothering :S

I installed Extended controls and im sure it was around this sort of time it happened, but i looked up and see that the G symbol ive had for the passes 3-4 days had disappeared, i thought this wasa good thing and result of a button to switch data off, but can only find GPS button and switching that doesnt effect anything on the screen
obviously without this i cant get online on my phone so any quick help would be appreciated!
Extended controls does have an option to make a switch for that, try making a switch widget for data connection and then flip it?

data connection, ok thanks. i restarted phone and got it enabled back. Where in the standard options and settings for android is this located then? pretty good feature to save power when i dont want my phone checking or updating itself?
EDIT:
this button on extended controls doesnt work for me, and enabling it loses my internet connectivity and i cant get it back on, fail.
After restart this time my G symbol came back, and then disappeared ?
After I got the touchwiz update and the second smaller one my wifi is messed up. It doesn't stay connected once the tablet is left alone for a couple hours. The signal strength color turns to white instead of blue when it does this. To remedy I have to turn the wifi on and off on the tab. Anyone else with this issue?
I am not seeing this issue. Have you tried a factory reset yet?
check to see if you have wifi set to never sleep (in advances settings). i had similar issues and setting it to never turn off worked for me. no battery drain issues with that setting either.

Thats bugging me too. Not always but from time to time I see "No internet connection" when the tablet is left alone. Before the updates I never had this. The other issue is wifi roaming. To get connected again I have to push power button, sometimes unlock screen, even sometimes it waits until the wifi settings screen. Dumb!
Ya I have it set to never turn off. I would hate to have to factory reset it and lose all my settings and Apps got a ton of stuff on this bad boy.

Apps are easily re-downloadable. If you're rooted then install Titanium Backup and back up all your apps with settings.
Do you have aan older router? I have the same problem (I have to turn wifi on/off if I leave the tab alone for 20+ min) but only at my office where my router is a bit older. At home with my brand new Linksys I have no issues.
My wifi is set to never sleep btw...
Hello everyone,
Sometimes when I use my phone the 3G connection icon disappears from my status bar. From that moment on I have no internet unless I connect to WiFi (only at home). A restart of my phone is the only option to get connection again. WiFi is always turned off except at places where I have WiFi connection. My radio is the latest, and I'm using CM7 7.1.0.1 I'm not using any other mods to strenghthen my connection.
Can anyone help me with this issue?
Thanks in advance
when the 3g connection gets lost have you tried to use the 3g2g button to turn it back on? you can set it to the power bar by going to cyanogenmod settings/interface/notification power widget/widget buttons/toggle 2g/3g. then it will be in your notifications bar. also make sure its all enables by selecting notification power widget in the notification power widget section.

Tried this but doesn't work rebooting is the only working option so far. Sometimes my pages won't load even when I see the 3G icon (it's grey, if used it should turn blue).
hmmmm. have you thought about doing a fresh install.
try flash another radio maybe an old one ( I had the same prob and it worked for me ).
You can also do fresh install, this worked also for me, but the old radio worked better
Select the option for National roaming in the settings......
Guys,
I updated my tab a few days ago. Now the market looks different but unfortunately I'm facing another irritating problem which I have no clue how to solve.
Every time that I turn off the tab, and let it be idle for 10 minutes, when I turn it back on, the WiFi icon will show no bars - which translates into no internet connectivity. That happens while the WiFi button is still pressed (green in the pop-up menu). In order for the device to connect to the net I need to turn the WiFi OFF and than ON and it works.
I checked the WiFi sleep configuration and they are set to "never turn it off" I also rebooted the device but with no change.
Please let me know what to do... as this thing sometimes just drives me crazy.
Thanks.

Flash a custom rom bro. Otherwise you are stuck with Samsung's awesome bugs. If you don't want to flash a custom rom there isn't really much you can do about it considering you're not rooted. What did you update to? KMP???
I did the regular Samsung update -the latest one that was released a couple of says ago. The problem with rooting is losing the coverage I have for insuring the device... which I'm reluctant to do. I'm sure it has a solution somewhere...
Yes I confirm.
This "reconnect" issue is being discussed on many forums with no solutions yet. (except custom ROM)
