Hello,
I've already searched the forum for an answer but I've been unable to find any solution.
I have a GT-i9505 Galaxy S4 with Omega ROM. I though flashing a new rom will help me but it's the same.
Everytime I walk away from my router, it automatically sets the wifi as "Network disabled because internet connection is slow" and won't connect again. I have to manually click connect to force it to connect it. Also, when I'm in my University, it keeps disconnecting for the same.
How can I avoid this and force it to stay connected? Do I need to flash some custom modem or something?
Thanks
The answer!

TRY THESE STEPS
1) Settings => Connections and tap Wi-Fi. Then tap Menu and make sure Keep Wi-Fi on during sleep is set to Always.
2) Turn off Wi-Fi power save mode on your S4. Type *#0011# on the phone dialer, then Menu => Wi-Fi and turn Wi-Fi power save mode to Off. (WORKED FOR ME)
3) Or change your router settings to 802.11 model
Galaxy S4 wifi non-connection/drop out NEW FIX
Had a problem for ages with my S4 not connecting to wifi and therefore no internet, no updates etc. My router is a Netcomm NB6Plus4Wn but this may work with most routers.
It would constantly go through the authentication, secured/saved cycle but rarely actually got an ip address.
After trial and error I found this worked straight away and it is a very easy fix.
Go to your router settings page, then wireless settings, look for Primary Channel setting.
There may be a (Lower/Upper selection) - tick the LOWER radio button and apply changes. Let router reboot.
Note I also use WPA/TKIP settings for security.
Test your S4.
Mine was set to Upper Primary Channel previously and as soon as I changed that setting to Lower Channel wifi and internet worked immediately.
I hope this helps some people with this common problem as I know how frustrating it can be.
Cheers
wifi verification problem
galaxy s4 GT-I9500 running pac-man rom. just started getting verification problem connecting to my linksys router one foot from my phone.
did the following on my phone: settings, Wi-Fi, settings, wps pin entry, msg reads " enter pin xxxxxxxxxx on your Wi-Fi router." where xxxxxxxxx is a number.
logged on to my router, clicked on Wi-Fi tab, under Wi-Fi protected setup, it asked me to enter the wps pin number from my phone. I did and after a minute or so, it indicated success and now my phone connects to Wi-Fi
weird. my phone connected for months without this procedure but just started failing today. thanks to the one who suggested checking the router setup.

I recently ran into the same problem and my wi-fi button wouldn't come on no matter what I did. Finally, I took the phone to Best buy as the now have a Samsung store there and the guy reflashed my phone with the 4.3 update free of charge and it worked. When I got home I rooted over my phone and now my wifi works fine. Hope this helps.

mac adress unavailable HELP
so i rotted my s4 gt9500 and somehow it managed to lose it's mac adress says unavailable at the moment unfortunately i have no efs backup so iam on a stalemate here i really need to get back my mac adress somehow so that the wi fi works again properly.any help you really be appreciated.
p.s the phone does not work on a custom rom yet since i encoutered this problem and want to fix it first.
Hello everyone,
Last week I upgraded my S4 to a brand new S5 on T-Mobile and currently it's stock and unrooted. It works great, except it won't automatically connect to WiFi. Every time I encounter a known WiFi it'll say Sign in Required. I'll press Connect and it'll then connect and function perfectly.
This smells like a software bug to me, but then I'd expect more posts on this topic (I didn't see any posts on XDA, and posts elsewhere were unhelpful).
What I'd ultimately like to know is if this is a hardware defect and I should get my phone replaced before it's too late, or if this is something that a software update (or rooting and flashing) will fix. Or of course it could be neither...
Thanks!
I have the same probblem and I am dying for a solution. I've spent hours googling and testing different things to no avail.
I am going to try to bring as much detail as I can, hopefully someone can pitch in.
Things I have read might work:
"forgetting" the connection and recreating it
Turning off and turning back on
Turning off, removing the battery
Turning off, removing the battery and the sim and waiting a minute (seems like voodoo to me)
Factory reset
I've tried everything, bar the factory reset which I am reluctant to do, specially when people's answers on forums said it wasn't a solution.
To try and shed more light, I would also add that:
It does this with any network (so it's not channel/router issue)
It does this consistently (and since I got my phone)
It finds networks, but just won't connect
It always connects fine if I pick the network (so it's not a distance/bad reception issue)
My phone is unrooted and stock and I have no weird apps (only popular/regular ones, social media, news, and so on)
My options are set correctly (notifications for open networks is checked and wifi is on)
I really hope someone can help as I rely on wifi a lot, and this is kind of a deal-breaker for me.
So I found a psuedo-fix here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2723486
The key part being:
1. >Wifi >Advanced >Disable (uncheck) Smart network switch.
2. Forget connection, then establish connection again. Works no issues.

This has "fixed" it for me, but it also means I no longer have Smart Network Switch which is kinda annoying, albeit less annoying.
A true solution would be lovely.

Tried, didn't work for me.
I now have factory reset and let google reinstall all my apps.
Until now, auto-connect works.
The only thing I didn't do this time that I did last time is deactivate a bunch of samsung apps that come pre-installed.

I have been having the same issue. I can't get any answers either. It really is frustrating. I am going to keep trying to find out. When I called the T-Mobile store they said that I could bring it back w/in the 14 days & replace it and I may do that if I can't get an answer for the problem! If you happen to find out what the answer is PLEASE post and let us know! Thanks
My wife has the same issue with not auto connecting. She has a AT&T S5 that is not rooted....thanks to AT&T putting her in prison lockdown. I think it could be something with the last update because her phone used to auto connect just fine and now it doesn't. The strange thing is that she just now noticed it not connecting and she had took an update that was a few weeks ago or whenever it actually was and now we don't really know for sure if it's really just now an issue or has been since the update....imo I think it could be something with the update.
I have an S5 as well with no issues, but then again, I have the TMO that's rooted and carrier unlocked running custom rom.....thanks TMO for not being D***'s like at&t
Solution!
Long story short, there's a problem with Android and DHCP. Specifically, an IP associated with a router doesn't die when it should and attempting another connection goes back to this IP instead of using the correct (new) IP.
The good news is to forget the problematic wifi connection, head into /data/misc/dhcp/ and remove the files, reboot then connect to wifi. That flushes the DHCP lease information and life should be good.

use a program like "root explorer" or "ES file explorer" and navigate to your root folder ( / )
then follow the path /data/misc/dhcp/ , you will find the files i mentioned there.

Im reviving this thread, I have this issue also. And with my "unlimited" tmobile bandwidth of 2gb, this bug is completely screwing me over.
I quoted this post since you just claim its Android and DHCP, if thats the case, wouldnt all android phones just not work like the S5?

Hey I'm having the same issue, only with my work open wifi. The phone will be aware there is a wifi and it tells me to sign in. I go to the wifi settings and tell it to connect it does, but if it drops for any reason it won't automatically connect again, I have to go through the same thing every time.
I read this in a previous post:
"use a program like "root explorer" or "ES file explorer" and navigate to your root folder ( / )
then follow the path /data/misc/dhcp/ , you will find the files i mentioned there."
I have X-plore and went to the root/data folder, but there was nothing in the data folder - Do you have to be rooted for this to work?
Any help would be appreciated.
Samsung Galaxy S5 - Koodo - Unrooted

It works fine on my home network and others that I have a username and password for. The issue is WIFI hotspots at coffee shops and work and such, where I don't have access to the router settings.
I have an app that does an auto login when it recognizes that you need to sign in once it connects to wifi, and it works when I tell the phone to connect, but the phone will never connect automatically - I have to go into the WIFI settings and tell it to connect manually every time.
I have the 'Smart Network Switch" unchecked, and I have 'forgotten' and reconnected several times but it still happens.

Thanks. This solved my problem ?
I had a corrupt .keystore on my S5 and the fix I found by googling was to do a reset of the device.
Since yesterday, my Samsung galaxy tab 2 7.0 [GT-P3110] with CM 9.1.0 refused to connect to the internet over WiFi, so i thought of some issues with the tablet and installed wififixer and noticed something strange.
In the log i saw a lot of time this
Code:
>Network Check:
>I/O Exception{gateway ip address}:HTTPFail:Xms
>Network Check failed: trying again
Another strange thing was that it was trying to connect to baidu.com.
Being installed an older version i then did a factory reset and upgrade it to the latest CM11 nightly.
The update went smoothly, and now the wifi tried to connect to google.com [goodbye baidu.com] but as before, no internet connection.
Then i tough about a modem problem, and deleted the modem profile of my tablet [did the same on my tablet for the wifi profile]. still nothing, then i decided to change modem and connect the tablet to my phone via tethering, as ever nothing.
I searched a bit the net and downloaded some wifi fixer, changed the ip setting to static, changed some setting but nothing.
Sometimes the tablet seems to connect to the internet [in fact i was able to configure the google account and download a single app], but this last for a couple of second and then nothing [i don't even know what happened for making it to connect].
I hope someone have time to help me and thanks for the attention
EDIT: my fault, sometimes it continue trying to connect to baidu and not google
Hi,
I just purchased a new Samsung Galaxy S4 in Germany, and have trouble connecting to my AVM Fritz box: Normally, everything is fine, I selected my WPS2-protected Wifi, and entered my password. But sometimes when I was away for a few hours (for example after a workday) and I get home, my Wifi is found, but the password is forgotten, and I have to manually connect to this network and enter my Wifi password again.
This does not happen all the time, but about 20% of all times when I left the house.
This is so weird and annoying, does anybody have a clue what's going on, and how to fix this?

Hi ,
Check this:
Go to /system
Open the built.prop
search for ro.securestorage.support
If it says true , change to false
If is true wifi does not save passwords
Happen to me sometimes i9500
Hi,
thanks a lot, it seems that this hint helped, but why does Samsung put this setting as dfeault? I already had that WLAN behaviour when my phone was not rooted, it seems to be improved now.
Why does Samsung do that?

Hi guys,
Have any of you guys encountered a problem like this with Exynos variant of Samsung Galaxy Note 4:
After a period connecting to a Wireless Access Point and normal accessing the internet, it suddenly said cannot connect to a proxy server (this message appeared in Browser like Chrome or Internet) although the phone is still connected to the AP, and other computer connected to the AP can access the internet without any problem. From this moment, I cannot access the internet at all, what I had to do is to restart the phone and everything is back to normal. This problem occurs constantly after a period of using. I wonder whether there is a bug in the OS itself or it is related to the hardware. Please help if you have experienced this problem, thank you.
