So every since 4.4.3 my WiFi automatically turns off. As in the WiFi is actually on, but it looses connection. Can't reconnect as it will not do so. Can't turn WiFi off. It literally will not turn off. The WiFi off switch freezes on spot.
I've done factory restore. And it just started again. I got updated to 4.4.4 and it's still doing it.
It will turn back on when I restart it.

I always have had my tab set to turn off wifi when screen goes off,
and it has performed flawlessly.
Now - after the 3.2 update - When the screen goes blank,
the wifi does not turn off and it stays connected.
Does anyone else have this problem ? is there a fix ?
My issue is the tablet is set to turn wifi off when screen turns off.
Always worked perfectly.
Now after 3.2 when you wake it the wifi does not turn on, says out of range.
You have to click wifi on/off to reconnect.
Fix one thing and break another.
Stock tablet.
confirmed.
My tab is also set to turn off wifi when screen is off.
Same deal, it does not reconnect. Sometimes it does reconnect but he status bar says no internet connection.
Had the same problem after updating to KMM and now again with the new KMM (KMN).
But since wifi standby consumes almost no battery, I just leave wifi on "always on" (network notification switched off). It's only a workaround but with no real drawbacks.
I'm on Task 6.1 rom and its all good no wifi issues.
Question? How do u know if it turns off or not.
network scan
Same problem here.
After I turn on my tab, it does not reconnect immediately. Have to wait 1-2 minutes, then it reconnected.
Faster is to manually turn wifi off and on again.

Same here. Just upgraded the other day, have to leave wifi on or manually switch it off and on. Nice update samsung
Yep. Same issue here. I'm thinking of leaving wifi on all the time and checking the difference in battery life.
3.2 has had issues with wifi since day one. Use one of the custom rom, I use Task 6.1 and the problem went away. You can always revert to 3.1
I don't get what is going on here. I tap the wifi button in either quick settings or wifi settings, it shows on/green briefly (0.5sec), then switch slides back to off. I disabled tasker, thought something wacky could be going n there in my modes, but problem persists. Today I finally noticed that putting phone in airplane mode, then turning wifi on worked, wifi stayed on. After turning airplane mode off, now wifi keeps turning itself off again
Power saving is off
Wifi Smart network switch is off
In advanced Wifi settings:
notification off
passpoint off
sort by strength
keep wifi in during sleep is always
always allow scanning is on ( I think I have tried changing this in the past couple weeks and no effect)
autoconnect to at&t hotspots is on
I did some searching but couldn't find anything relevant. I have been burning up mobile data because of this! Any ideas?
Hey everyone, I've been looking for a solution for this problem since I got the phone and I can't find an answer anywhere. When I am connected to my WiFi at home, and I turn the screen off, about 30 seconds later my wifi and data shut off. I have "keep wifi on when screen is off" set to on. I disabled switch to network with weak WiFi signal. I have factory reset my phone about 5 times and did a warranty clam.
Mine does the same. It just has a very poor wifi antenna I guess.
my LG-V20 does this same thing sometimes its very frustrating.
Settings>battery and power saving>scroll down to "wifi" and move the switch to the right (turn on ignore savings settings) This will tell Android to ignore power saving on wifi and let it operate normally.
Ok my home internet is only a 2 mega bit connection at its best. Its less than 1 most of the time. So l use my data 99% of the time. Well l have gone in every menu and turned off the wifi from scaning, from staying on, and l have it turned off. Well l get home in the evening and what do you know my wifi has turned it self back on and I'm on my home network. It was off and l went into McDonald's and it connected to their wifi. This is with scaning off, wifi off, and wifi off when sleeping. Why does this always turn it self back on. My s4, note 4, s5, and now my s7 edge all have done this. Its VERY ANNOYING...
Is there anything that l can do to stop this. If l want to use the wifi (like when I'm at my brothers or moms house) i just want to turn it on and go but if l have it turned off l want it to stay off and not connect to wifi networks that are remembered
Had 2 apps that were turning on wifi. I turned thier permissions off. So after that I was downloading a large file. A few gigs. Anytime my phone screen turned off it would turn my Wi-Fi back on. So in order to get that to stop happening I had to tell my phone to forget my home Wi-Fi network. There's got to be another way
My WiFi keeps turning on, I will shut it off, and then later I will pick up my phone, and the WiFi is back on, I have never had this happen with any other Android that I have used, any suggestions as to what it might be?
