Hi,
on my x10 with 2.1 nordic I have strange problem with wifi.
When i turn it on it find and connect to my wifi network but after a while (when i'm not using the phone) it just brake the connection and cant connect again until i do it manually.
Any ideas? Its really annoying me that my phone is using 3G instead of wifi after some timeout.
Mine does this as well. When I have WiFi enabled it doesn't use it unless I disable it and re-enable it.
Same here
Also it does another strange thing.
When I have connected to my Home Wifi and entered my password everything is fine. When I turn my WIFI off and back on. The saved connection to my home network is shown + again my home network without the PW. Very strange.
I am on the global generic 2.1.
I got round this by setting the wifi sleep policy to "never".. uses a bit more juice but I'm still getting a full day out of it.
Play a little bit with battery saver app. It will help

I don't like them.. I've tried a few but they all caused other problems, and never really saved me much juice either.

So what I'm finding is that if my tab sits on the charger for a long time without using it, when I go to use it the wifi icon is gone. When I go into wifi settings, it says my network is not in range. To fix it, I have to toggle wifi off and then back on, and then it gets on my network just fine.
Anyone else have this problem?
Have you tried changing the wifi sleep setting? Worked for me, I believe it is under settings-asus customizedsettings- wifi sleep settings

really odd. Outta ideas already lol. Good luck!
I had this issue with my TF101 after not having the issue for 2.5/3rds of the time I owned the TF101. Initially I thought it was the TF101 but I narrowed it down to the router.
A) I had implemented a policy on my router to restrict the number of IP addresses it can "assign" to connections. In this case it was set to then and there were more than ten devices connected to the router making it impossible to assign an IP address to the TF101.
B) It could have just been something with the router I wasn't aware of as resetting the router always fixed the issue. Though this could be explained by saying resetting the router resets all of the connections and opens up a spot for the TF.
In Android phones you can use the secret codes
If you have the phone apk installed perphas you can use this:

I have noticed that when my 300 is sleeping for a while, my email will not push/ sync. When I wake my tab up, Ive noticed the wifi icon is gone, but will come back in a second or two. Ive never had to toggle the wifi however.
And yes, Ive made sure the Battery Saving setting is unchecked to not suspend network connection while sleeping.
My galaxy S4 connects to any network flawlessly and I can browse the web, etc. but when I press the power button to lock the phone or if the phone goes to sleep by itself, when I unlock the phone, I'm still connected to the wireless network, but I can't browse the web or do anything. I have to disconnect and reconnect for it to do anything (and sometimes it takes 5 mins. to find the network. it says it's not in range 90% of the time). I've set wi-fi to "always on" during sleep and I've also turned wi-fi power saving mode off in the hidden menu but it still doesn't work. Like I said, it doesn't disconnect but the orange down arrow flashes and I can't browse the web, etc. I actually wiped the phone and the problem went away for a few days but cropped back up yesterday which leads me to believe there must be some bug causing it but I have no idea what triggers it. Does anyone have any ideas on what to do?
Are you running stock rom?

Sounds like what I'm experiencing as well!

Hey guys,
Just noticed something odd this last few days. The statusbar WiFi icon is dimmed; but I'm connected on WiFi just fine. I can browse, and the WiFi settings is showing all is OK. As in, I'm still connected to my SSID.
Anyone experienced this? What's the best way for me to pull logs? I'm a bit of an Android n00b.
The particular SSID is on a 5GHz AC channel (pretty sure it's on AC, or at the very least N), on TKIP+AES. I've read that the S4 had problems with D-Link routers on TKIP+AES, but I've got an ASUS running DD-WRT. I don't have any other problem with the other devices in the house on WiFi.
Running WanamLite ROM, with FauxKernel 3.
Thanks!

I should clarify,
I'm connected to my router/SSID; but I can't connect to the internet.
But I'm trying out this new solution people have been suggesting.
I created a guest SSID on my router (ASUS RT-AC66U, on ASUS-Merlin firmware), and I pretty much disabled Intranet access on the guest account, and dropped TKIP.
Let's see if the problem will go away.

Unfortunately there's no option for me to create a guest SSID on my netgear router...
i believe this was/is a bug for the SIII. a quick search should bring you to a thread i was flipping through earlier for my girlfriends S3. I noticed it the first day I had my S4 but havent seen it happen since.
Go to your Wi-Fi, press the menu button and click advanced settings, there should be a option to "Keep Wi-Fi on during Sleep" if you want it on select always

I've already tried that. Also by default it's set to always on.

The two solutions provided for that bug are to set Wi-Fi to always on during sleep and to turn off the wireless power saving mode in the hidden menu (which can only be accessed by dialing a certain number). Neither of those solutions work.
No go, problem is still very much there for me.
So far I've:
1) Created a guest SSID, with only AES. Problem is still there
2) Loaded a different kernel (albeit a 9505 kernel). Problem is still there.
I'm rooted, running a different kernel and ROM than stock. I'm on Virgin Mobile i337M (Canadian S4). I've unlocked my phone through the Service Menu, I've also enabled my AWS bands, using the QTPS patch. Though I think this is all irrelevant, because theloneranger08 is running an unrooted phone.
So something must've cause the WiFi sleep issue.
EDIT:
What's the best way to go about logging the issue here? I'm a total Logcat newbie. I managed to set it up on my Mac; but not sure what sort of logging I should be doing. Cheers!

Yeah I can't seem to get it fixed. I actually decided to call AT&T and they are sending me a new phone along with the necessary supplies to send my current one back. Hopefully it's a hardware issue and the new phone is fine. Although the fact that it worked for two weeks with no problems and wiping it got rid of the problem for a couple days leads me to believe it must be some bug in the software. Granted, I haven't come across hardly anyone (besides the people on this thread) with this issue so hopefully it is hardware related. I'll be so ticked if the new phone does the same thing...
I got a new phone and I didn't have any issues for a few days but now it's back. Anyone have any ideas?

Kinda impossible for two phones to have the same exact issue. Which lead me to believe this is a software bug.
Can you verify if you have "Check for Internet service" enabled, on Advance WiFi settings (Settings > WiFi > (tap menu) > Advance).
I restored my phone a few days ago, wiped it clean. I decided not to use this feature (it's off by default; but I had it on when I first encountered this issue), and I have yet to see the problem we had. I spoke to a friend who's a network engineer, it could be due to timeouts to the cell towers, whilst checking internet connection periodically, etc. etc.

No it's turned off. I've tried everything but I just can't find a fix. Is there anyway to somehow log the phone and see what runs when I put the phone to sleep? Is it possible that it's an app doing it?

If you're still having this issue, can you check into your Accounts setting? See if there's any sync error.
I had no problem for a few weeks after restoring my phone to factory setting. Then two days ago, the issue re-appear. The last thing I did was adding a new Google account (secondary account, for work). That's when the WiFi problem started appearing again. Then I noticed the sync issue on the newly added account, I had to uncheck certain options, and check them back again. Since then, the issue hasn't re-appear *crossing my fingers*
Way back in the day, I remember that WiFi indicators would look different if you have WiFi with internet access, but not connected to Google accounts (or have issues).
I know this is different than what we initially talked about; but I guess we're eliminating possibilities.

Update: My phone works fine on 5.1 ghz bands but not 2.4 bands. Very weird...
Anyone can advise? Seem like running out of luck, I try untick all the option in advanced setting still can't connect. Failed to obtained ip and same as the photo attached.

This usually happens on an unreliable network, but to get around this I usually try airplane mode on then off, try to re-connect?
Ooops. Just checked the wifi menu on my note. I expected to find something like "advanced options" in wifi-settings as on my razr HD. There was a check mark that allowed "to connect to networks that are weak". Couldn't find anything like it on my N3. But maybe some one else knows if this is a device thing or rather an android 4.2 vs. 4.3 issue.

The option you need to un-tick is "Auto Network Switch". I had the same issue at work with a poor connection, it would keep giving me the same message you're seeing. Once I disabled auto network switch however it worked just fine. It was right, the internet was slow, but it's better than the non-existent cellular reception underground.....

thanks for the suggestion, but i already untick all of the option and problem still persist.
I have a similar problem, I have a network with no internet connectivity (and want it that way for CCTV) I have to turn off my mobile data first (uncheck it in the data usage screen) than connect to the wifi, or it keeps booting me out.

Can't we stop these?
Are you running the latest firmware? It seems odd to say but I had the same problem with my GoPro for live viewing, updating helped fix the problem.
enable DHCP your router
None of the so called "fixes" work...changing settings. Un tick this.. reset router.. reset phone.. forget all the bad advice. ..
FACT IS...The Note 3 has a WiFi connection fault... hopefully Samsung will fix it.

Does your problem fixed?
SM-G935F Exynos
My wifi keeps disconnecting during sleep after around 8min. It seems like the doze mode kicking in and kills the wifi.
With MM i had the same problem at first but did solve it with factory reset. Now with Nougat it seems a more aggressive problem.
I tried "always" on during sleep, and tried to set it to "never" back out the menu and switch to "always" again.
Reboot. Clear Cache after rebooting in Safemode.
Reset network settings. Tried both 2.4G and 5G.
I have wifi/BT scanning turned off in location setttings.
Tried different router and wifi hotspot without security password.
Tried several Wi-Fi keeper apps.
Disabled battery optimisation for all apps. Disabled app optimization.
So i even did a full factory reset for nothing.. Damn.
When connected to an AC charger, the phone stays connected.
Seems like the familiar Android Bug. Nothing seems to make a difference.
Anyone having the same issues or anyone with a workaround?
Cheers!
Thinking of going to custom rom with 7.1.1. Or different phone..
Hmm no, I don't have that problem with my SM-G935F...
But I also don't know what else you could try tbh
EDIT: You really sure your Wlan is not set to "leave enabled when charging" only? Cause that sounds exactly what you're having
I am sure indeed, it is set to "always". Is there a config file or app where this setting applies to? But sure i will need root for that..

With the setting "leaving enabled when charging" the phone is completely disconnected when switching the phone on. It uses 4g instead and connects to WiFi when screen on.
With the setting "always on" it seems to still have WiFi on but suspended/doze.
Still when charging it doesn't doze at all only on battery power.
Weird stuff..
exactly same problem here but only in 5Ghz wifi. 2.4Ghz doesnt have this issue. I havent any solutions yet.
Looks like the phone is still connected to the router but not "pingable" for around 10 minutes, then 1 sec pingable and so on.. I see it happen on 2.4Ghz and 5Ghz.
EDIT: Without mobile data ON i don't even receive mails or whatsapp. WTF
i was having the same problem.. after i disabled (WMM APSD) in wifi modem settings (router settings) this problem fixed

Was worth the try. But unfortunately switching WMM off on my Netgear Nighthawk r7000, did not make any difference here..
Which custom ROM will be worth trying, based on different base ROM? Maybe the OnTheEdge S8 rom?
I have the same problem since buying the phone, tried everything but no fix
i've found this, is there any way to do it without root?
