[Q] Samsung Galaxy S5 WiFi problem - Galaxy S 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Hi there,
My Galaxy S5 stops receiving data from my office WiFi network though still connected. My SGS3 was working fine and all other phones here at work have no problem with the WiFi. We are working with WPA2. Just to clear things up a bit; as soon as I get to work, it's working fine and after a while it stops receiving data. I cannot navigate anywhere. The WiFi is still connected and disconnecting and reconnecting from the network does not solve the issue. A soft reboot solves the problem partially (the problem persists after a while). I have also checked with our sysadmins only to confirm that they do not block anything on the WiFi; this only happens on local LAN.
Tnx everyone in advance

[Q] Problems with WiFi and data connection

Hello
Sometimes when i have wifi and data enabled at the same time, my internet connection stops working.
But if i disable wifi or data i will get my connection back. Even just cycling wifi make it work for some time again.
Is anyone else experiencing this problem? Or does anyone have a solution?
I have been reading around and think it may have something to do with Internet Sharing and Interop-unlock.
i had the exact same problem, but worse. i had to switch to airplane mode and back to get internet working. and it was a very frequent and annoying problem.
for me updating to 8107 over zune was the solution. no more connection issues.
(internet sharing however i do not have anymore - but as you said, it could be related to this -so screw it i don't share my internet if it crashes mine )
This is a very common fault (there are several threads on the topic.)
Call Samsung support and ask them to get of their asses and fix the problem. I called and they said that they had no other report on that same problem..
Have the same problem, but I have to restart my phone for it to start working again. *__*

Wifi and GoogleServices major problem

Hi all!
I have an international version of the S3 with a weird problem.
When I have Wifi connected my phone can't sign in to Google talk and wont receive notifications. I can browse and download stuff though.
If i switch to 3G all is well and working. I have tested on different networks and I have a galaxy tab 10.1 connected to the same wifi without problems so it's no ports in the firewall that's causing it.
If I restart the phone it works for about a day then it fails again and I have to restart the phone to get G-talk over wifi.
I have tried setting the phone a static IP, switched "Keep wifi on during sleep" on and off, tried the trick with power saving in debug menu but nothing helps.
Has anyone experienced the same and can someone maybe suggest a fix?
Best regards
Erik

Wifi on Lolipop 5.0 G870A will not connect

For the last week or two I have been unable to connect my phone to wifi networks.
At first the problem would be that I was getting disconnected from any wifi network I joined, now I can't connect at all.
The wifi networks page sometimes (not always) does not detect a strong network even if I am standing a few feet away and the phone has previously connected and other APs are connected and working like my pc
If I try to connect then I get the "Connecting" status followed by "Saved,secured"
I have searched the internet looking for a fix to this and tried wiping the cache partition, forgetting the network, airplane mode toggling on and off, apps that wipe the known network list and some others including lastly a factory reset on the phone but nothing seems to remedy the issue.
From the wifi router I have tried using an unencrypted (open) connection
Now I think I may also be having problems with the bluetooth connecting in the car but I haven't had a chance to really investigate that one yet and it may or may not be related to the last factory reset.
My phone is not rooted.
Build no. LRX21T.G870AUCU2B0F3
kernel3.4.0-4443965

Can anyone offer any assistance to my current issue ?

I have just confirmed that the Bluetooth in my car is not detecting my phone when it scans (the phone bt is switch on and the visible box being checked) so that's both radios with similar issues.

Im having same issue with wifi... sm-g900r4
I just stumbled on a clue, while using an app called 'wifi cleaner' there is a feature allowing you connect to wifi networks within the app. I type in the password, authenticating is shown on the screen followed by "incorrect password".
I know the password to be correct..
Mmm

I was wondering if you ever got this issue fixed?
I thought I had but the problem comes back in a different way.
Sometimes wifi connects but only connects at 5 mbps.
Now wifi will not turn on at all. ( radio button is greyed in settings)
I did find a thread on xda where some Motorola users were having the wifi off issue and it was due to a missing system file which could be replaced on a rooted device. However I don't have root on my s5 g870a and it's not likely I can get it.

wifi connected No internet

This is the problem that i am getting.. Wifi connected No internet... please some one help me.. is it modem related problem ?
tell us something more.
did you trie different wifi? maybe router has some specific settings
I tried different routers... but having same problem... whenever i connect wifi...its working fine..but after some time net gone...and i get this message in wifi settings...wifi connected No internet... i tried different roms but stil having same problem
I have a similar issue
S7 connects to WiFi but can not use any co sections through apps
The browser works though.
It only happens on my bt home hub WiFi .
Bt says there is no fault on the line (other devices connect fine)
Samsung says the phone is fine
The issue is seemingly the s7 and Google have an issue with ipv6
But at start when i bought my s7 edge..i had no such problem... wil there be any solution
I had this problem too after nougat update but at the end it was a router configuration problem.
So whats the router configuration...kindly share some steps
What if i go back to marshmallow ? Wil it be safe ?
This is also a problem I have been getting in the last week or so. I have had the phone over a year. Not sure if it could be a recent update that is causing this?
Mine started 3 weeks ago. I didn't update anything on the phone or router.
Will it be good to go back to android 6.0? Will it be safe?
Check your time on your phone. Sounds dumb but if it's not set to the right time, your Internet won't load.
also smart switch could be the problem.
I've had an issue a few times, when wifi turned off and was trying to connect again, but smart switch foocked up wifi.
try disabling all weird features in wifi settings
time is set and no smart switch problem also.... what should i do now
I also have a Pixel C and I get this issue on that as well so it's not just s7 edge related.
Oh thats strange that even Pixel phone also has this problem... what wil be the solution
I get the notification from Google about making your connection secure. I used to accept it. Now when I forget the connection and get offered it again I refuse. This seems to be working for me.
I am also experiencing this problem after the nougat update and after the March security update. The WiFi notification gets the exclamation point and I have to cycle connection. I have changed nothing and I have verified nothing has changed in my settings. No other brands of phone or tablet in the house are experiencing this problem.

Did you get the notification from Google about securing your Wifi network? If you accepted then forget the network, rejoin and the reject the offer in the future. It worked for me.

Nope, never got that notification. Tried forgetting and then reconnecting, no notification, and still WiFi sporadically says no internet when connected.

Several weird issues

Hi there,
I have my S8 Exynox version for more than one week and I am facing some strange issues that I cannot explain and I have never experienced them with my previous phones.
I have WiFi router (2.4GHz/5GHz) running OpenWRT and S8 is disconnecting or keeping connected but losing internet access. Many times when I unlock the phone I can see that it is not connected to WiFi and just connecting or there is a message "Connected to XXXX" indicated that the connection was somehow re-initiated. It seems to be more stable if I remove 5GHz network connection but still not reliable.
This is even more strange. When I enable WiFi on S8 and let it connect I am facing network connection dropouts on my LAN not only on WiFi but even on cable. I am listening network radio and the sound disappears randomly and the issue is gone if I disable WiFi on S8. Sometimes I even have to restart the router.
Settings changes randomly. I was navigating with Waze and there was no speed indication. I stopped and found out that it was disabled in settings although it was enabled my previous drive. And another time LTE was suddenly disabled. There was 3G/2G selected in Connection -> Mobile network -> Mode.
I am using Dropsync to synchronize several Dropbox folders with my phone. One of them is synchronized to Share folder in local storage. Yesterday I found out that there is some sync problem in Dropsync and it turned out that Share folder is not existing. Some process has obviously deleted that folder. Could it be that I run optimization in device maintenance?
I am using Nova launcher with Morena icon theme. I have selected some icon for Samsung calendar to have is consistent with the icon theme but it randomly changes to stock icon during the night.
It forgot BT pairing with my Garmin Forerunner. I had to pair them again.
I have enabled volume sync when I connected my JayBird earbuds for the first time but it was disabled again few days ago.
Does anybody else have issues like this?
Experienced the WiFi issues in the beginning too, it doesn't kill my ping any more at least not majorly and it seems to have stopped not being able to connect to my router properly. Can't say anything about the rest.
And how did you solve the WiFi issue?

I didn't, it resolved with time, it did seem to stop after rebooting my router one last time but I doubt that's it as I already did that once and the issue happened again.
