I have this stupid wifi bug where my wifi keeps scanning liking every 3seconds. Wifi works but it just keeps on scanning.

this is no bug.
the scan only occurs if you are in the wifi settings.

I'm still having wifi (not 3G) network connection issues and hoping someone can help.
I tried enabling wifi on the phone to stay active all the time (never sleep), enabled static setting and I always end up have to manually reconnect to the my wifi router. I've even tried some stay alive wifi apps and nothing seems to work. Nothing always me to stay connected and re-connect automatically to my wifi router. It's very frustrating.
I sometimes loose wifi when phone comes out of sleep or when I go out of range and then re-enter my wifi coverage area, it's won't automatically reconnect to wifi.
Any ideas/solutions would be greatly appreciated.
Don't know if the 'fixmywifi' app can help.. hope it can!

He thx for the suggestion, but I'm not referring to the 3G network (such as it is!), but rather local wifi. BTW: I do have the 3G setting entered on my phone
Well still not within 100%. Man what's with this X10 and wifi.
I had a look for that fixmywifi app Mobzter recommended and can't find it.

Probably a stupid question, but when you go to:
Settings -> Wireless settings -> Wifi Settings -> Advanced (Menu button to access this) -> Wifi Sleep Policy
Does it still say "Never" like you want it to or has it reverted back to a different option?
I've tried never, and other setting, and as a matter of fact seems to work better in a sleep setting. Maybe it's my wireless router, but I believe this is a common issue with the X10.

I never had issues with wifi on my x10... until I did a hard reset on my router. I started to have problems connecting to my router. I figured out that if my router has WEP protection on, my x10 would have a hard time connecting. If I switch to WEP2, everything went fine. I dont see how switching from WEP to WEP2 solved my problem, but give it a try
If your still looking for Fix My Wifi it's Here along with other apps that you could try.
Interesting, I'm actually using WPA2, not WEP at all.
What router setting are others using?

Hi,
When i open my phone from sleep it shows me that I'm still connected to my wireless but i cannot access the internet. When i turn off and on the wifi it works fine again but as you can understand this is very annoying. I disabled the wifi sleep option but now my battery gets empty way too fast. Has anyone seen a fix for this?
Thanks
I have a simular issue. Does not happen all the time but frustrating when it does. The same fix of turrning Wi-fi off and back on works for me as well.

Turn off 3g/data then disable wifi sleep, 3g/data uses &*^% loads more battery than wifi
If i leave wifi on all night and turn off 3g/data after 10 hours of sleep i still have 96% battery left

You are right about that. But the fact that the wifi sleep does not function properly still upsets me.
What rom are you running and also what baseband?

FWIW - similar thing happens to me with stock 1.6
Unchecking the rechecking the wifi box always fixes.

Well i don't think this is a solution. it's very annoying actually. Since it seams that this problem exists from version 1.6 what the heck are they fixing with their updates???

Yeah, I don't see it as a solution either - rather ridiculous you have to do that. Not sure they're fixing anything with their 2.2 lol, maybe creating more issues
did we find a fix?? this is driving me crazy...
Same here just noticed it, for awhile I was thinking it was me forgetting to turn wifi back on, but nope its just jumping back to 3g off wireless.
With all my widgets running I don't want to kill all my data on my plan...I'm always around wifi, so this is killing me..
Wifi going off when the device sleeps send to be an android issue. I had this same problem with my nexus one. Never could get it to stay on all the time agen the device slept.

I have the same problem. Toggling the wifi widget fixes it, but yeah, kinda annoying.
I not sure if this is the same problem but see what happens to mine if I turn My device off or use Airplane Mode when turn on I have no HSPA(3G) or Wi-Fi I can call but no data and I need to do a factory reset to and erase everything make the data works again
The only time mine quits is when I go from wi-fi router to wi-fi router.
Hotspots are ok, but both my home & work routers, both Netgear 614 types
have me reboot the routers if I go out of range, or turn the streak wi-fi
off/on several times. Goofy...tried deleting the profiles and everything else.

try this.. worked for me
also setting router wifi to wep encryption / wpa seems to help
for netgear router set the channel to 3 and use wpa2 aes only and 300mbit max
Hi
Since a few weeks now my phone just "forgets" the passwords of networks I just connected with. This happens when I turn off/on my wifi in the settings or after a reboot. I'm on stock 4.3 and rooted. I already checked the wpa_supplicant.conf file and what I found out there is that everytime I connected to a network it put it in the file just fine, but the wifi settings don't seem to read it all back or something. In the file there are often copies of the same network and password (only different priority) that appear when I have to re-enter a password again. I also tried to delete the copies so that there's only one for each network but still, the settings don't seem to recognize it.
Thanks alot in advance
No one ever faced this problem again? Btw I do have a lot of networks saved in there, is there a limit or something?

After a 139 views and not a single reply I found a possible solution myself: https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.brilliapps.wifiandmorefixer
This app kinda fixed the problem for now, (all the wifi networks in the file show up in the settings). I hope it'll continue working like this. I'll inform you later if it still works (for those who have the same problem as I had and also couldn't find anything useful on the Internet)

I've the same problem, but it seems it will"forgot" password only with some kind of WiFi........maybe in presence of a WPS key! I'm not so sure, but had happened only with this kind of protection!
Nexus 4 on the roll!!!!
Hmm, I think that's not it, the settings 'forgot' also some wifi networks that didn't have wps... But is your problem solved right now? Otherwise I would recommend that app! You just have to make sure you backup the conf file!

I don't know at all, actually I've not known WiFi connection and u can't test! I'll update as soon as possible my experience!

Nope , it still doesn't work, I filled in 2 wifi networks today, they're both in the config file, but the don't show up in the settings...

OK, another fixing app https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.ryanamaral.wifi.passwords
If you launch this app and don't press the refresh button all the stored networks should be visible (in my case 86, where the settings only show about 80). Backup all your networks with the app, fix wifi (this deletes it all) and restore your backup with method 2. All the networks should now be visible in the settings.

Hi there!
The second app work fine for me, all WiFi networks are now visible and working fine!
Thanks for the app suggestion, great!!!!

Hey guys. I had a problem on my Galaxy s4, it could not remember wifi passwords and also took a lot of time to switch wifi on. I just wanted to let you know that I solved the problem by reflashing my ROM. Or any other ROM (custom ROM)
I'm using a Galaxy S4 from USC (SCH-R970).
4.3.1
Loaded PAC-MAN nightly build dated 11/16/13
All seems to work very well and I'm quite happy with the ROM. There is one glitch I'm having which I can only assume is from the ROM. Whenever I leave my wifi connection and the phone needs to switch to data, it doesn't. It takes a reboot and then all is well. This is what happens when I leave home to go to work. I don't have a wifi connection at work. Going back home doesn't cause any problems. It happily picks up the wifi again.
Other forums have had some suggestions such as toggling wifi on/off (as in airplane mode) etc., none of which seems to work for me. I need to do a reboot to get back to enabling data connection.
Has anyone else noted this? Is this a known issue? Are there any suggestions?
Thx
I have almost the same issue, for me, I randomly lose data connection, and have to reboot to fix it. I DL an app called 3g reconnect and haven't had the problem since. I don't know a real fix but hope that helps
